Wise n' Shine: NBA picks, MLB predictions and NHL best bets for Thursday

Happy NFL Draft Day, Pickswise Nation! The big day has finally arrived and at 8:00 pm ET in Kansas City the speculation stops and the cards start to be handed in. Along with all that excitement, we have NBA and NHL playoff games, plus MLB, soccer and golf on the schedule today, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better.

About Last Night

Great night of NBA playoff picks
The Pickswise NBA team went 3-1 ATS on Wednesday’s 4 playoff games, including 2-0 on our Best Bets of Heat +11 and Under 202.5 in the Knicks vs Cavaliers game. The red-hot Heat won straight up, beating the Bucks 128-126 in overtime to eliminate the #1 seeds, while the disappointing Cavs are also out after losing 106-95 at home. The other series are still in progress as the Grizzlies beat the Lakers 116-99 to stay alive at 3-2 down, while the Warriors went 3-2 up with a 123-116 win over the Kings. We cashed our Warriors vs Kings Same Game Parlay'at +491 odds.

Bruins made to wait
The Boston Bruins could not clinch early against the Panthers last night as a 4-3 overtime loss sent the series back to Florida. Wednesday’s other game saw the Kraken win 3-2 in Colorado to move 3-2 ahead against the Avalanche.

Great day of MLB props
The Pickswise MLB cappers were on point with their prop picks, with Javan Shouey going 2-0 with his picks while no runs was good news for Caleb Wilfinger as we cashed both of our YRFI/NRFI Best Bets. We were also 2-1 with our MLB Best Bets, including a nice plus-money play on the Blue Jays’ run line as they beat the White Sox 8-0.
