Get ready for a massive Saturday in sports, featuring a pivotal NBA Playoffs showdown and two championship belts on the line at UFC 328. Whether you're backing LeBron James or betting on a title fight, the BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS offers new users a fantastic safety net: $150 in bonus bets if your first bet wins, or up to $1,500 in bonus bets if it loses. Terms vary by location, but the opportunity is huge for this weekend's action.

First up, the Lakers and Thunder clash in Game 3 of their 2026 NBA Playoffs series at 8:30 p.m. ET. With Los Angeles looking to even the series, all eyes are on LeBron James and MVP favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. SGA has been uncharacteristically quiet so far, averaging just 20 points per game in the first two contests—well below his league-leading 31.1 points per game in the regular season. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NBA game 10,000 times, expects his scoring to bounce back. The model is backing the Over on 211.5 total points, noting that the Over has hit in 10 of the last 13 Thunder games. It's a trend worth riding into Saturday night.

Then, turn your attention to UFC 328 on Paramount+, where two title belts are up for grabs. The middleweight championship features Khamzat Chimaev taking on Sean Strickland, while Joshua Van and Tatsuro Taira battle for the flyweight title. The SportsLine experts have locked in their best bets for both bouts, giving you a clear edge when placing your wagers.

For those looking to maximize the action, combining the top NBA and UFC picks into a single parlay at BetMGM could pay out at +363 odds—meaning a $100 bet could win $363. That's a solid return for a Saturday stacked with elite competition.
