It’s square root day and there is no question that the root of being squares in sports betting is gamblers who bet without the expert advice of the world’s top sports handicappers. We agree with CNBC’s Jim Kramer of Mad Money, the stock market is a reckless gamble. We will add March Madness betting is a wise investment.
Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Suns head east to meet the Magic, the ACC hogs the college hoops spotlight, and the NHL offers up a dozen contests.
Tipping off on the hardwood . . .
The Suns will be looking to get a road win against one of the East’s best teams on Tuesday when they take on the Magic in Orlando. Phoenix is coming off an impressive 118-111 home win over the Lakers, with Shaquille O’Neal pouring in 33 points against his old team. Steve Nash sat out with a sprained ankle. The Magic knocked off the Sixers 106-100 in their last game on Saturday, with Hedo Turkoglu picking up 23 points. Rashard Lewis added 23 points as well in the win.
The Lakers will try to get back on track later on Tuesday night when they host lowly Memphis, while Sacramento will get a visit from Indiana in the other California contest. Earlier in the night it’ll be Chicago at Charlotte, Denver at Detroit, New Jersey at Milwaukee, and Golden State at Minnesota. As well, the Rockets, who are 8-2 in their past 10 outings, will play at home against Toronto.

There are three big ACC matchups on the college hoops schedule for Tuesday night, with Virginia at Clemson, Wake Forest at Maryland, and Florida State at Duke. The Blue Devils knocked off Virginia Tech 72-65 in their last game, as Kyle Singler and Gerald Henderson each tossed in 21 points. Duke is now 24-5 straight-up on the season, and 14-13-1 against-the-spread. Florida State beat Clemson 73-66 on Saturday, and they’re at 22-7 SU and 15-7-1 ATS this season.
