Wise n' Shine: NFL, NBA and NHL best bets for Thursday, December 22

Good morning Pickswise Nation and welcome to another terrific Thursday of sports. We have action in the NFL tonight as Thursday Night Football starts Week 16, and we also have a bowl game in college football, plus NBA and NHL slates, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better!

About Last Night

Nets blow out the Warriors
Not having Steph Curry, Klay Thompson or Andrew Wiggins proved to be too difficult to overcome as the Warriors lost 143-113 to the Nets. After the first quarter alone, Golden State was down 29 points. Let’s just say we felt pretty comfortable with our Nets -12.5 pick for the entire 48 minutes. Our other 3-star play of over 228.5 in Lakers vs Kings also cashed comfortably as the Kings won 134-120. The Cavaliers beat the Bucks 114-106 in an Eastern Conference showdown and the Raptors ended the Knicks winning streak with a 113-106 win at Madison Square Garden.
