Good morning, Pickswise Nation, and welcome to another wonderful week of sports. We have playoff action in the NBA and NHL again today, plus a busy day of MLB, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better.
About Last Night
Timberwolves avoid sweep in OT
There was plenty of drama in Sunday’s NBA playoff games, with the Knicks going 3-1 up against the Cavaliers, the Warriors beating the Kings by 1 point to get back to 2-2, the Celtics winning on the road in Atlanta to go 3-1 up and the Timberwolves avoiding a sweep with a 114-108 overtime win over the Nuggets. We cashed our Kings vs Warriors Same Game Parlay at +637 odds.
NHL road teams go 4-0
All 4 NHL series in action yesterday started with a 2-1 score and the Hurricanes and Bruins stretched their leads to 3-1 with comfortable road wins over the Islanders and Panthers respectively. The other games, however, saw the Stars and Oilers complete a sweep for the 4 road teams to tie up their series against the Wild and Kings. We cashed our only 3-star play on the Oilers ML and hit a +220 NHL player prop as Evander Kane scored for Edmonton.
Rays win 13th straight home game
It was a good Sunday all round for our baseball cappers as we went 10-6-1 overall on picks. 3-1 on best bets and 2-0 on MLB props. The 2023 Tampa Bay Rays continued their amazing start, with yesterday’s 4-1 victory over the White Sox being their 13th straight home win to start the season, matching the 2009 Dodgers for the second-longest home win streak to start a season since 1901. They are now targeting the 1907 New York Giants’ record of 15.
