The All-Star Game concludes a frenetic four-day stretch that featured the Futures Game on Saturday, the first 80 picks of the amateur draft on Sunday and the Home Run Derby on Monday.

Odds: NL -115; AL -105; O/U 8 (via Caesars Sportsbook)

Featured Game | National League All-Stars vs. American League All-Stars

Storylines

Brian Snitker, manager of the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves, will guide a National League club looking to end the American League’s eight-game winning streak. Houston Astros skipper Dusty Baker is managing the All-Star Game for the second time. Baker managed the NL in 2003 after taking the San Francisco Giants to the 2002 World Series, though he was manager of the Chicago Cubs that season. It was the first time in history an All-Star Game manager was not the manager of the team he took to the World Series the year before.

On the mound, Dodgers icon Clayton Kershaw will get the start for the NL club in his home ballpark. He will be the first pitcher to start in his home stadium since Max Scherzer got the ball for the NL at Nationals Park in 2018. Rays lefty Shane McClanahan, not Angels star Shohei Ohtani, will get the ball for the AL team. Kershaw vs. Ohtani would have been rather fun, though McClanahan is certainly deserving of the starting assignment. It is unknown whether Ohtani, who has never made a major league appearance out of the bullpen, will pitch in the All-Star Game.

DH Shohei Ohtani, Angels
RF Aaron Judge, Yankees
3B Rafael Devers, Red Sox
1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays

Celtics vs. Warriors odds, prediction: 2022 NBA Finals picks, Game 2 best bets from expert on 38-16 run

The Boston Celtics can take firm control of the 2022 NBA Finals when they face the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 on Sunday night. Boston used the most lopsided fourth quarter in NBA history to pick up a 120-108 win in Game 1 on Thursday. Veteran Al Horford finished with 24 points for the Celtics, knocking down six 3-pointers in the first NBA Finals game of his career.

Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. ET from the Chase Center in San Francisco. The Warriors are listed as 4.5-point favorites in the latest Warriors vs. Celtics odds from Caesars Sportsbook, with the over-under set at 214.5. Before you make any Celtics vs. Warriors picks, you need to see what SportsLine expert Zack Cimini has to say.

A Las Vegas handicapper who’s never afraid to buck conventional wisdom, Cimini excels in multiple sports. Over the past 33 NBA picks, Cimini is 22-11, returning almost $800 to $100 players. He is also on an amazing 38-16-1 run with his last 55 against-the-spread picks involving the Celtics, returning almost $1,800 to $100 players.

Now, Cimini has set his sights on Celtics vs. Warriors, and just locked in his picks and NBA playoff predictions. You can head to SportsLine now to see his picks. Here are several NBA odds and betting lines for Warriors vs. Celtics:

Celtics vs. Warriors spread: Golden State -4.5
Celtics vs. Warriors over-under: 214.5 points
Celtics vs. Warriors money line: Boston +170, Golden State -200

Featured Game | Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics

Why the Celtics can cover

Boston is riding a huge wave of momentum after outscoring Golden State 40-16 in the fourth quarter on Thursday, drilling nine 3-pointers in the final frame. The betting market is giving bettors a chance to get even more value with the Celtics in Game 2, moving the spread from -3.5 to -4.5. Boston has now covered the spread in 13 of its last 14 road games, becoming the first team to beat the Warriors at home during the 2022 NBA playoffs.

The Celtics were able to pull off the upset despite a terrible performance from their superstar, which bodes well for their chances to add another win on Sunday. Jayson Tatum went just 3 of 17 from the floor, while Steph Curry finished with 34 points for the Warriors. Boston has covered the spread at a 5-0-1 clip in the last six meetings between these teams.

Why the Warriors can cover

Two-time MVP Curry is an elite sharpshooter from all over the floor as he has deep range and can catch fire in a hurry. The eight-time All-Star has the arsenal to torch anyone lined up against him and that was on full display in Game 1. Curry exploded for 21 points and shot 6-for-7 from three in the first quarter. He ended up finishing the matchup with 34 points, five rebounds, and five assists.

Guard Klay Thompson is another knockdown shooter on the perimeter. Thompson has played in plenty of big-time games and knows what that pressure feels like that. The five-time All-Star can heat up in a blink of an eye and Golden State will need that type of performance in Game 2. Thompson has an effortless shooting stroke with good defensive instincts. He produced 15 points and shot 3-for-7 from deep in Game 1.

How to make Warriors vs. Celtics picks

For Game 2 of the NBA Finals 2022, Cimini is leaning over on the point total, but he also says a critical X-factor makes one side of the spread a must-back. He’s only sharing what it is, and which side of the Warriors vs. Celtics spread to back, at SportsLine.

Milwaukee Bucks at Boston Celtics Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

The Milwaukee Bucks (1-0) are back at TD Garden Tuesday to take on the Boston Celtics (0-1) in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we look at the Bucks vs. Celtics odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo did everything to lead the charge in Game 1 with 24 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 blocks. He kept his composure during his worst shooting night of the playoffs, just 9 of 25 (36{cfdf3f5372635aeb15fd3e2aecc7cb5d7150695e02bd72e0a44f1581164ad809}). PG Jrue Holiday led all scorers with 25 points and added 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.

Boston laid an all-around egg in Game 1, shooting just 33.3{cfdf3f5372635aeb15fd3e2aecc7cb5d7150695e02bd72e0a44f1581164ad809} from the floor. They did drill 18 3-pointers, which was 10 fewer than their total makes on the night. PF Jayson Tatum had 21 points on 4 of 9 from distance, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Against the spread

Defensive Player of the Year G Marcus Smart took a couple of shots to his quadriceps, which has him questionable for this one. There’s little chance it will keep him out, but it could hinder his mobility. The Celtics had the best defense in the league largely due to Smart’s perimeter suffocation. The Celtics will also need to clean the boards better after Milwaukee had 4 players with 9 boards in Game 1.

Tatum takes this game over, but G Jaylen Brown has to support him better than 12 points on 4-of-13 shooting. The Bucks are just 1-7 ATS in the last 8 meetings with Boston, but I can’t see laying 4.5 points, and I can’t see Boston dropping both at home. Take the BUCKS +4.5 (-107). You might want to act quickly, though, as the spread figures to come down with 58{cfdf3f5372635aeb15fd3e2aecc7cb5d7150695e02bd72e0a44f1581164ad809} of the cash and tickets on Milwaukee this morning.

Over/Under

The Over is 8-2 in the last 10 with one of those Unders hitting in Game 1. In fact, this number would have hit in the last 9 aside from Game 1. Celtics C Al Horford has quietly shot 54.2{cfdf3f5372635aeb15fd3e2aecc7cb5d7150695e02bd72e0a44f1581164ad809} from 3-point range in the playoffs. Look for him to continue stretching the defense to open holes for Brown and Tatum to drive. Milwaukee blew Boston away in fast-break points at 28-8. That will be another emphasis when backup PG Derrick White enters the game.

The Bucks were a plus-23 when Giannis was on the floor for 38 minutes in Game 1. The Celtics will try to get him into foul trouble and exploit C Brook Lopez, who was a minus-10. Long story short, Boston will be much better offensively, so let’s LEAN OVER 215.5 (-108).

2022 March Madness predictions: College basketball expert picks, odds, lines for Sweet 16 games Thursday

Time for a confession off the top here before we get to Sweet 16 picks: March Madness has not been my month. The good news is that our expert picks — back in action today ahead of Thursday’s Sweet 16 fun! — features more than just your’s truly. Gary Parrish, Matt Norlander and Chip Patterson are all riding heaters into this second wave of tourney action, and David Cobb’s had a nice little run, too.

So if you want to tail their picks instead, I completely understand. Or if you really want to earn a bag, it seems fading me might be the real move. That choice is yours as you check out our picks below.

Either way, to get you prepped for the first day of the second week of the tournament, I’ve again convened our experts to make picks straight up and against the spread to help you pick your bracket (and hopefully make some cheddar along the way). You can also check our expert brackets or our reset brackets for the third round.

Be sure to stick with CBS Sports throughout the rest of the month for NCAA Tournament coverage through the end of the Final Four. Let’s take a look at our expert picks for the final slate of third-round games on Thursday.

Odds via Caesars Sportsbook | All times Eastern

NCAA Tournament: Sweet 16 picks

(1) Gonzaga vs. (4) Arkansas

Thursday, 7:09 p.m. | CBS, March Madness Live: Gonzaga has not covered the spread in four of its last five games, including both of its NCAA Tournament matches. Arkansas, however, has covered the spread in 20 of its 35 games this season and is 4-1-0 ATS as an underdog, according to TeamRankings.com. The 8.5-point line feels like a reasonable number to clear for a Razorbacks team that can win a shootout or slugfest and has the personnel to match up favorably with the Zags. Pick: Arkansas +9

Spread	ARK +9	ARK +9	ARK +9	ARK +9	ARK +9	ARK +9
Straight up	ZAGS	ZAGS	ZAGS	ZAGS	ZAGS	ZAGS

(2) Villanova vs. (11) Michigan

Thursday, 7:29 p.m. | TBS, March Madness Live: Villanova right now looks like the strongest remaining No. 2 seed left in the bracket. That’s not saying too much — two of the four such seeds are already home and the other, Duke, has looked vulnerable — but it counts for something. This Jay Wright-coached Wildcats team is old, experienced and playing really well. Their advantage in the backcourt should trump their disadvantage in the frontcourt by a wide-enough margin to cover the spread. Pick: Villanova -5

Spread	NOVA -5	MICH +5	MICH +5	NOVA -5	MICH +5	NOVA -5
Straight up	NOVA	NOVA	NOVA	NOVA	NOVA	NOVA

(2) Duke vs. (3) Texas Tech

Thursday, 9:39 p.m. | CBS, March Madness Live: What feels like an underdog play isn’t so in the eyes of oddsmakers. Texas Tech, the No. 3 seed, is giving 1.5 points to Duke, the No. 2 seed, in this West Region matchup. And I’m laying it with the Red Raiders. Their defense is ferocious, and the matchup overall for Duke is a nightmare for which to prepare even with several days of time. Pick: Texas Tech -1.5

Spread	DUKE +1.5	DUKE +1.5	TTU -1.5	TTU -1.5	TTU -1.5	TTU -1.5
Straight up	DUKE	DUKE	TTU	TTU	TTU	TTU

(1) Arizona vs. (5) Houston

Thursday, 9:59 p.m. | TBS, March Madness Live: Arizona had to go to overtime to take care of TCU in the second round, and it really struggled with the way the Horned Frogs crashed the offensive boards. That’s especially concerning against a Houston team that ranks as the third best offensive rebounding team in all of college hoops. But it’s an area in which I suspect Tommy Lloyd and his Wildcats staff will be prepared to battle ahead of Thursday. If it boils down to talent as I suspect, I like Zona giving the points. Pick: Arizona -2

Spread	ARIZ -2	ARIZ -2	ARIZ -2	ARIZ -2	ARIZ -2	HOU +2
Straight up	ARIZ	ARIZ	ARIZ	ARIZ	ARIZ	HOU

It has arrive time for this Notre Dame basketball group to strike the flooring for their ultimate property sport, as they welcome in ACC foe, Pitt to Purcell Pavilion. It has been a special common time for the Irish, a single that has observed them vault to the top rated of the ACC, though the Panthers, on the other hand, are likely in the reverse route.

In truth, the Panthers sit in 3rd-to-last place in the ACC getting into the last game of the year and are coming off a 30-issue reduction on the street to Duke their last time out. Pitt has struggled to participate in consistent basketball all year prolonged, and that has led to an 11-19 document in general, and only six wins within the conference.

For the Irish, a gain listed here would go a extensive way in them acquiring their self-assurance back heading into the ACC Event and an eventual NCAA Tournament bid.

In accordance to WynnBet, the Irish are big favorites in this one particular, as they are providing 12.5 factors to the Panthers. The more than/less than is set at 133., and if you guess Notre Dame basketball on the Moneyline, the odds are -900. A Moneyline bet on Pitt will be +600.

Notre Dame basketball vs Pitt Prediction Now

The Irish are coming off a highway reduction to Florida Condition their previous time out, as they ended up carried out in by the three-position shot, one thing they have utilised to their gain all year extended. For Notre Dame basketball, this has a opportunity to be an uncomplicated earn ahead of heading to event perform, but as we have witnessed all season in the ACC, you have to take it a person activity at a time.

Pitt is led by forward John Hughley, who prospects the group in both equally scoring and rebounding. They have a solid backcourt in Jamarius Burton and Femi Odukale. Notre Dame counters with a well balanced squad that has been receiving excellent participate in from Paul Atkinson Jr. as of late, as he has nearly 50 rebounds throughout his last 3 online games.

Four games in the past they stunned UNC, and they would like almost nothing more than to do the same to the Irish today. Nevertheless, I imagine Notre Dame is the superior team, and will not be getting them flippantly staying their final household sport of the standard period.

My prediction: Notre Dame 82, Pitt 70

Wisconsin vs Rutgers Prediction Tonight

I think this recreation would fret me a large amount more if the activity was at the RAC (Rutger Athletic Heart), wherever both equally #17 Michigan Condition and #16 Ohio Condition have lost in the earlier 7 days. The good news is for the Badgers, they will host the Scarlet Knights at the Kohl Middle, where the Badgers are 10-2 overall. Their two losses arrived at the hands of Providence (with out Johhny Davis) and their 1st conference with Michigan State (without the need of Tyler Wahl).

That does not necessarily mean the Badgers are going to earn this recreation no trouble. They carry on to participate in in near games all time, regardless of who the opponent is. Luckily for the Badgers, they have arrive out of the successful side of most of these games. They just know how to gain.

Ron Harper Jr. is the top scorer for the Scarlet Knights (15.4 factors for every game) and need to be the Badgers’ major precedence on defense. In the earlier, the Badgers have accomplished a terrific position of made up of him. In four profession online games from the Badgers, Harper averages just 9. details for every activity. His greatest scoring output towards Wisconsin was in February of 2020 when he scored 21 factors in a 79-71 Badger victory at the Kohl Center. Outside the house of that general performance, he’s been held to 6 details or much less in the other 3 conferences.

If the Badgers play as they did in opposition to Michigan Condition, they should appear out of this game a winner.

Wisconsin 74 – Rutgers 63

The good news, however, is that immediately after this video game, the Badgers only have a single a lot more ranked opponent on their routine, #3 Purdue at home on March 1.
