PICKS & PARLAYS

Championship battlers Wrexham prepare for a classic David-and-Goliath FA Cup Fifth Round clash as they host Premier League giants Chelsea at the Racecourse Ground on Friday, 7th March 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 17:45 UTC. The Red Dragons, currently competing in the Championship, will look to cause a monumental upset against a Chelsea side aiming to add silverware to their cabinet.

The Arizona State Sun Devils will visit the Iowa State Cyclones on March 7th. Can the Cyclones beat out Big 12 rivals Arizona State and finish their season out strong before the tournament? McBets is backing Iowa State in this Saturday afternoon matchup.

The Orlando Magic (33-28) make the trip to Target Center on Saturday afternoon, riding back-to-back wins but still dragging a Franz Wagner-shaped hole in their rotation, while the Minnesota Timberwolves (40-23) sit on a five-game win streak and just climbed to third in the West. Anthony Edwards is averaging 31.0 points since the All-Star break. The line opens with Magic (+7.5) and a total of 226.5, with Orlando starting a back-to-back road stretch and the Wolves locked in a seeding race that has the feel of a team that stopped treating March like a warm-up.

The Utah Jazz (19-44) visit Fiserv Forum to face the Milwaukee Bucks (26-35) on Saturday, March 7, tipping off at 8:00 PM ET, with Giannis Antetokounmpo listed as expected to play under a continued minutes restriction following his return from a 15-game calf injury absence. This is a matchup between two teams heading in ugly directions for very different reasons: Milwaukee has dropped four straight, including a 131-113 home loss to Atlanta on Wednesday, while Utah snapped a seven-game skid with a 122-112 win at Washington on Thursday. The Bucks opened as 10-to-11-point favorites depending on the book, and the total sits around 234.5, setting up a spread that looks more like a market reaction to records than a reflection of what either team has actually looked like on the court lately.

The Los Angeles Clippers (30-32) limp into FedExForum on Saturday, March 7, to face the Memphis Grizzlies (23-38), tipping off at 8:00 PM ET on the second night of a back-to-back after one of the most gut-wrenching collapses of the season. LA blew a 25-point lead in San Antonio on Friday, losing 112-116 as Wemby and the Spurs stormed back with an 18-5 run to open the fourth quarter and stole a game that was firmly in LA's control through three. Kawhi Leonard dropped 30 in the loss and watched Nicolas Batum's inbound turnover seal the game with seconds left. Now the Clippers travel to Memphis without Darius Garland (who didn't travel for the road trip due to left toe management) and John Collins (neck strain), facing a Grizzlies squad that has lost nine of twelve but carries enough pace and young firepower to make any spread uncomfortable. Memphis sits at Grizzlies (+5.5) to (+7.5) depending on the book, with the total at 227.
