Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday of sports, Pickswise Nation. We have a solid NBA slate tonight, plus NHL and some great college basketball matchups. Let’s get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
NBA Best Bet wins
We had only 1 3-star play on Tuesday’s NBA slate — under 220.5 in Mavericks vs Clippers — and it lived up to its billing as the Clippers won 113-101. It was a good day of over/unders overall as we went 5-2 on our total predictions. Donovan Mitchell scored 46 on his return to Utah with the Cavaliers, but the Jazz won the game 116-114, while the Warriors lost as double-digit favorites to the Suns, 125-113.
2-0 day on NHL player props
Our NHL player props ace Mark Lammey found a perfect pair of plus-money hockey player props that cashed last night. In the day’s big games, the Devils beat the Hurricanes 5-3, the Rangers beat the Wild in a shootout and the Stars beat the Islanders in another shootout.
Strong night for ranked NCAAB teams
Most of the college basketball ranked teams managed to avoid upsets on Tuesday’s slate, although #2 Kansas failed to cover a 10.5-point line against Oklahoma, winning 79-75. #18 Wisconsin lost 69-65 to Michigan State.
