Good morning, Pickswise Nation and welcome to a fantastic Friday of sports. We have a big NBA slate tonight, plus NHL, college basketball and FA Cup soccer to enjoy today, while NFL Week 18 is just one day away, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
NBA Best Bet cashes easily
There were only 4 NBA games on Thursday, but our handicappers found a great 3-star play on the Nuggets -5 against the Clippers as they stomped LA 122-91. There were also wins for the Grizzlies, Celtics and Jazz.
Perfect night for NHL props
There were some odd results in the NHL last night, but our props expert Ryan Hodges had a 2-0 night on hockey player props. The Hurricanes, Devils and Maple Leafs were all strong teams who suffered losses, although the Golden Knights and Bruins both added late 5-2 wins to boost their impressive records.
Purdue holds off Ohio State
#1 Purdue moved to 14-1 on the season with a 71-69 win over Ohio State in Thursday’s NCAAB action, while #2 Houston won far more comfortably, 87-53 over SMU.
