About Last Night
Perfect night of NBA picks
The Pickswise handicappers went 4-0 with our picks on Saturday’s NBA games as the Heat and Lakers moved into 2-1 series leads by beating the Knicks and Warriors respectively. Heat -4 was a winning NBA Best Bet and we also cashed our Saturday parlay at +265 odds and went 2-1 on NBA props.
2-0 night in the NHL
We also cashed our money line and total plays in Saturday’s only NHL game as the Oilers comfortably tied up their series with the Golden Knights in a 5-1 road win and our hockey player prop was a winner too.
Great day of MLB picks, plus tennis and horse racing winners!
The Pickswise MLB team went 12-5 on our Saturday picks, including cashing our only Best Bet, and our Saturday MLB parlay was a +514 winner. In tennis, Ricky Dimon gave +850 odds winner Aryna Sabalenka, while our horse racing picks included a 20/1 win at Churchill Downs!

Best Bet of the Day
MLS: Seattle Sounders ML over Sporting Kansas City
4:30 pm ET, FOX/AppleTV+
It has been a hopeless season so far for Sporting Kansas City, who are rock-bottom of the overall MLS standings and are the only team yet to win a game in 2023, with 7 losses and 3 ties in 10 games. They have scored just 3 goals this season and the Sounders have shut out 3 of their last 4 MLS opponents. There’s no need to overthink this game between the top and bottom teams in the Western Conference, which should be a comfortable home win. Check out our full Seattle vs Kansas City predictions.
