About Last Night

Warriors win a wild one but Mavs cover
We are not short of talking points after the Warriors’ 127-125 win over the Mavericks last night. The game included an uncontested score by the Warriors, who had been 3.5-point favorites, when the Mavericks lined up at the wrong end of the court after a timeout, and those 2 points proved to be the difference between the teams after the Mavs’ Reggie Bullock hit a three at the buzzer for the ultimate backdoor cover. In other games, the Timberwolves kept up the pressure on the Warriors in the standings with a 125-124 win over the Hawks, while the Lakers beat the Suns 122-111. Our NBA Best Bets went 2-1 and we were a superb 6-1 on NBA props.

Penguins-Avalanche SGP cashes at +500 odds
There were only 2 games in the NHL on Wednesday but we cashed a +500 Same Game Parlay on the Penguins-Avalanche matchup, so it was still a pretty good night! The Penguins won that game 5-2, while the Oilers needed overtime to beat the Coyotes 4-3 in the only other matchup.
