Good morning, Pickswise Nation, and welcome to a quieter Friday of sports. With the NBA and NHL on hiatus tonight following two 4-0 series sweeps, we’ve got a great MLB slate to headline today’s action. Let’s get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
Celtics picking up steam
The Boston Celtics aren’t done just yet. With their backs up against the wall, Boston put forth a dominant showing at home to win its second straight game and force a Game 6 in Miami on Saturday night. The Celtics would join just 3 other teams in NBA history if they are able to win on Saturday and force a Game 7 in Boston on Monday.
Stars get on the board
It looked like both NHL Conference Finals series would result in sweeps, but the Dallas Stars were able to get on the board with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Golden Knights on Thursday. The series will now shift back to Las Vegas for a pivotal Game 5 on Saturday, where the Knights are favored in that matchup with a second chance to reach their second-ever Stanley Cup Finals.
MLB props stay hot
