Good morning, Pickswise Nation, and welcome to another fantastic Friday of sports. The NBA Draft was a wild one while the Travelers Championship got off to a great start on the links. We also have a busy MLB slate today, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better.
About Last Night
Miller scoots ahead at #2
The NBA Draft produced plenty of entertainment on Thursday and the pivotal moment of the night turned out to be Brandon Miller getting drafted by the Charlotte Hornets at #2 overall, which was our +175 best bet. Miller beat out Scoot Henderson, who was favored to be the 2nd overall pick but is now in Portland alongside Damian Lillard. Elsewhere, Amen and Ausar Thompson went back-to-back at #4 and #5, and Cam Whitmore joined Amen Thompson in Houston at #20.
McCarthy shoots low at the Travelers
Denny McCarthy had a round to remember on Thursday at the Travelers Championship, shooting a 10-under 60 to lead the field after the first round. McCarthy was as high as 80/1 to win the tournament earlier in the week and now sits at +500 behind Scottie Scheffler (+230), who shot a 7-under 63 and sits in 4th place.
