What do Joel Embiid, DeMar DeRozan and Russell Westbrook have to do with Super Bowl LII? Well, nothing you'd think, unless some of those athletes from other sports are fans of the New England Patriots or Philadelphia Eagles and therefore hold a vested interest in the outcome. But you'd be wrong. Thanks to Bovada's Super Bowl cross-sport wagers, you can play all of them in a Super Bowl bet.

Here's a sure thing for NBA bettors on Wednesday as at least as close as you can get to one: Oklahoma City will win in Minnesota but it still may not be enough to get the Thunder into the playoffs.

Oklahoma City superstar Kevin Durant will miss at least another week following a procedure to his surgically repaired foot. But Russell Westbrook is good enough to keep OKC winning without Durant.
