The honorary first long weekend of summer is here and it's chock full of exciting sports action. Our Memorial Day Weekend betting guide is here to help you plan your TV viewing and wagering activity around picnics, parades, fireworks, and more!

Memorial Day Weekend brings with it good weather, hotdogs, fireworks, and parades. But it's also one of the last full weekends of betting action for the summer before we're left mostly with the daily grind of baseball.

Although the semifinals of the NBA and NHL playoffs may come to premature ends, there's still plenty of action taking place this weekend across the globe.

The second grand slam of the tennis season is here with the French Open at Roland Garros and the Monaco Grand Prix will set the table for a Sunday full of motorsports. Our sports betting experts will be shopping the betting odds from our best sports betting apps all weekend to help with your top picks.

Memorial Day Weekend betting guide: Saturday

Charles Schwab Challenge Round 3

The Charles Schwab Challenge has the unenviable task of following Brooks Koepka's win at the 2023 PGA Championship but a strong field is still in attendance at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, TX with World No. 1, Scottie Scheffler, set as the pre-tournament favorite. Streaming coverage will begin on PGA Tour Live at 8 a.m. ET.

WNBA: Sun vs. Liberty - 1 p.m. ET

The Connecticut Sun have started the 2023 WNBA season a perfect 3-0 and will pay a visit to the 1-1 New York Liberty early Saturday afternoon. We're expecting Connecticut to keep Saturday's matinee contest close in our Sun vs. Liberty predictions.

The Liberty remain early heavy favorites by the WNBA Championship odds with their new-look and star-studded roster.

Western Conference Final: Stars vs. Golden Knights Game 5 - 8 p.m. ET

The Dallas Stars forced Game 5 in their Western Conference Final series with Vegas Golden Knights via an overtime win in Game 4 on home ice.

Vegas returns home looking to dispatch the Stars and return to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since its inaugural 2017-18 season. Sportsbook Review betting analyst Neil Parker is advising bettors to play it safe in Game 5 with his top Stars vs. Golden Knights picks.

Eastern Conference Finals: Celtics vs. Heat Game 6 - 8:30 p.m. ET

Can the Boston Celtics do the improbable and force a Game 7 at home after falling into an 0-3 hole against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals?

Sportsbook Review's Shane Jackson isn't thinking so and makes the case for the Heat as sudden plus-money underdogs in his Celtics vs. Heat predictions as Miami looks to punch its ticket to the NBA Finals with a win at home.

Find out why our Jon Metler isn't concerned about the Taylor Swift curse keeping the Celtics from continuing their comeback bid.

MLB: Marlins vs. Angels - 10:07 p.m. ET

Shohei Ohtani will draw the start for the Los Angeles Angels against Edward Cabrera and the visiting Miami Marlins on Saturday night.

Ohtani is among the American League favorites by both the MLB MVP odds and Cy Young odds. The dual-threat sensation fanned nine batters and allowed just one earned run in a no-decision against the Minnesota Twins his last time out.
