Best Sports Game Selection Today: NBA Three Point Competition, College Basketball Presents for February 15

It is the NBA All-Star Weekend, and it will be more difficult to decide whether to pay attention to the festivities. Not only Sunday’s new format of three mini games instead of a competition length competition, but also when it comes to All-Star Saturday.

The early days of Dominique Wilkins, Michael Jordan and Tiny Spud Webb that captivate us as Top-Flight Dunking-Show stops are long gone. Mac McClung, a career G League player, will look for a three peat. In the 3-point shooting competition, Damian Lillard will also look for her third straight victory.

In College Basketball Visit No. 1 Auburn Visit No. 2 Alabama in a large Sec -Showdown when football takes a rear seat in Tuscaloosa. The Big 12 also has its best squad meeting as No. 6 Houston faces No. 13 Arizona.

We will study the college games and also predict who will be the best 3-point shooter in San Francisco.

NBA 3-points shooting competition

A 3-point shooting competition in San Francisco would be a lot more fun if Stephen Curry participated in fun. Do you remember Curry’s competition against Woman Win over Sabrina Ionescu last year? There is no similar matchup this time. It’s a big swing and a miss.

At least there is the Bay Area flavor in Lillard, Oakland native who is always all-in when it comes to remembering his roots. The nine-o’clock All-Star wants to poorly defend his title, and he is the clear favorite (+280) despite being disturbed by a hamstrings injury.

Buddy Hield (+450) was the winner in 2020 and he can past Lillard. The hot version of Hield is something to look at (there is probably not a cold version because no one watches him). Long Shot Jalen Brunson (+1000) is a dashed 3-point shooter and is tempting on these odds.

The player to watch is Tyler Herro (+800), who has had a productive shooting season – he only needs 15 three to surpass his career high in 203. Look for him to Edge Lillard in the championship.

Auburn Tigers at Alabama Crimson Tide

It actually feels like Iron Bowl with these bitter rivals that meet in a 1 against 2 collision, according to the AP survey. Interestingly, Coaches Poll has Alabama No. 1 and Auburn No. 2. Regardless: There will be a very clear No. 1 team after this battle.

The tigers won 14 games in a row before they lost to then no. 6 Florida on February 8th. The tigers bounced back with an 80-68 road victory over Vanderbilt behind 21 points from Denver Jones, 20 from Chany Johnson and 17 from Johni Broome.

Alabama has taken up seven straight wins and 15 of its last 16, and Tuesday’s 103-80 route of host Texas marked the fifth time in 12 matches that Crimson Tide cracked at least 100 points. Alabama leads the nation in scoring (90.5) and another player has led the team in points in each of the last six matches, including Jarin Stevenson’s career best 22 against Texas.

Broome has recorded 14 double doubles this season, and he gives Auburn the inner presence that Crimson Tide cannot match. But if Alabama shoots well, Crimson Tide will surpass the tigers.

Houston Cougars at Arizona Wildcats

These teams would be bound for first, but Wildcats lost a decision of 73-70 in Kansas State on Tuesday. Both teams have lost a game for the conference enemy Texas Tech, with Houston’s L which comes in overtime.

Cougars has won 16 of his last 17 matches coming into the two -game trip to play Arizona and Arizona State. Houston took down No. 1 Frö Arizona in Sweet 16 in 2022 NCAA tournament and will not be intimidated by the raw atmosphere in Tucson, where Wildcats is 11-1 at home.

Arizona recorded 13 wins in 14 matches before Stumble against Kansas State. Wildcats were only 2 out of 22 from 3-point intervals Tuesday, and Star Caleb Love had only six points on 3-AV-15 shooting. Love shoots only 30.9 percent from depth this season.

Arizona has the atmosphere edge, but Kelvin Sampson’s troops can play defense anywhere. Houston leads the nation in points defense (57.3).

Houston -1.5, -115 (Draftkings)
