Thursday NBA betting preview

Thursday features an eight-game NBA slate on the day of the NBA trade deadline, which means sports bettors need to stay up to date on the latest breaking news when NBA betting today. Many massive moves have already occurred, including players like James Harden (from Clippers to Cavaliers), Jaren Jackson Jr. (from Grizzlies to Jazz) and Kristaps Porzingis (from Hawks to Warriors) being moved. This week's trades will have a significant effect on Thursday NBA betting.

Two of the top games on the Thursday NBA slate occur at 10 p.m. ET, with the Phoenix Suns hosting the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the Philadelphia 76ers. It's been a trying few weeks between LeBron James and the Lakers with news reports about displeasure with one another, but it appears they will be together for at least the rest of this season. The Lakers are 30-19, with the 76ers at 29-21 this season, heading into a superstar-filled matchup. Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for the 76ers. For NBA betting, the Lakers are 4.5-point favorites in the latest Thursday NBA odds at Fanatics Sportsbook. For Suns vs. Warriors, the Suns are 6.5-point favorites with Stephen Curry (knee) out. Click here to sign up for Fanatics Sportsbook to bet and get up to $1,000 in No Sweat Bets in FanCash at Fanatics:

Big Game NFL betting

More than $1 billion will be wagered on the NFL Big Game, and it won't come on the winner, spread or totals. NFL player props have become increasingly popular, and Fanatics Sportsbook has plenty of NFL props for NFL betting on Sunday for Patriots vs. Seahawks from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. , at 6:30 p.m. ET. Quarterbacks are often among the most popular NFL player props, and Seattle's Sam Darnold's over/under for passing yards is 225.5 yards, while New England's Drake Maye is 220.5 passing yards. Darnold has gone Over this total in just one of his last four games, while Maye has only gone Over his number in one of three games this postseason.

Rushing yards are another popular NFL prop bet, and Seattle running back Kenneth Walker has an over/under of 70.5 rushing yards at Fanatics. He's had at least 95 rushing yards in three of his last five games, and is the unquestioned RB1 after Zach Charbonnet's torn ACL this postseason. For New England, Rhamondre Stevenson's over/under is set at 50.5 yards with TreVeyon Henderson at 15.5 rushing yards. Stevenson has taken over as the team's clear RB1 this postseason, outsnapping the rookie 60-4 in the AFC Championship Game. Sign up for Fanatics Sportsbook here:
