Welcome to another terrific Thursday of sports, Pickswise Nation. We’re now up 3 days away from Super Bowl 57, so until then, we have some action in the NBA, NHL and college basketball to please us. Let’s get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
Celtics remain at the top
The Celtics were put to the test on Wednesday night as they had to face the 76ers without 3 starter, but that didn’t stop Boston from winning 106-99. However, the big story is that Jaylen Brown suffered a facial fracture and will be sidelined indefinitely. Meanwhile, it was a great night for our handicappers as they went 11-7 on picks and we extended our props run to 10-4.
NBA'Thursday trade updates
With the trade deadline at 3:00 pm ET today, there was a frenzy of trading last night. The most notable being the Lakers receiving D’Angelo Russell from the Minnesota Timberwolves as part of a three-team trade. As part of that trade, the Lakers sent Russell Westbrook to the Utah Jazz and the Timberwolves received Mike Conley from the Jazz.
Perfect night on the ice
Our NHL handicappers were red-hot last night as they went a perfect 3-0 on the slender 2-game slate, with the Rangers beating the Canucks in regulation and the Stars covering the puck line.
