Good morning, Pickswise Nation, and welcome to another terrific Tuesday of sports. We have yet more NBA and NHL playoff action today, as well as a great MLB slate and EPL soccer, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
76ers cause an upset
The 76ers were 10-point underdogs in their Game 1 against the Celtics last night, but won outright by 119-115 with 45 points from James Harden. The Nuggets moved into a 2-0 lead over the Suns in the later game with a 97-87 success, covering a 4.5-point line.
Devils deliver in Game 7
The Devils clinched their rollercoaster NHL series against the Rangers with a convincing 4-0 Game 7 victory after opening the scoring in the second period with a shorthanded goal. They now travel to Carolina to face the Hurricanes on Wednesday.
Close MLB finishes
It was only an 8-game MLB slate on Monday but there was still plenty of drama, with the Red Sox beating the Blue Jays 6-5 through a walkoff homer and the Guardians winning 3-2 on the road against the Yankees. The late game was not so close, though, as the Dodgers crushed the Phillies 13-4. The Braves and Mets split their doubleheader.
