Good morning, Pickswise Nation, and welcome to another wonderful week of sports. We have playoff action in the NBA and NHL again today, plus MLB and soccer action, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better.
About Last Night
Brooms are being readied in the NBA
Could we really see a pair of series sweeps in the NBA Conference Finals? The disappointing Celtics last night joined the Lakers in going 3-0 behind in their series with a tame 128-102 Game 3 loss to the Heat. The Celtics are +800 odds with FanDuel Sportsbook to rally and advance, but the latest NBA Championship odds see the Nuggets as -220 favorites with the Heat at +260, Celtics +1200 and Lakers +3200.
Our golf expert picked 22/1 PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka
We hope you followed Diane Knox Balas’ picks for the PGA Championship as Brooks Koepka won his 5th Major at +2200 odds, beating Scottie Scheffler by 2 shots.
More YRFI/NRFI success
The Pickswise YRFI/NRFI picks went 2-0 again on Sunday, extending our run in our daily first-inning picks articles to 30-10. Our best bet of under 9 runs in Cubs vs Phillies cashed comfortably as Philadelphia won 2-1, while the Mets won both games in their doubleheader against the Guardians by scores of 5-4 and 2-1.
