Wild win for the Hawks
The craziest finish on Sunday’s NBA slate saw the Atlanta Hawks beat the Chicago Bulls 123-122 on an overtime buzzer-beater by AJ Griffin. The early game between the Suns and Pelicans had also gone to OT before New Orleans came out on top 129-124. Our expert Filip Tomic went 3-0 with his NBA player props on Sunday’s games.
Another 2-0 day of NHL props
Talking of props, our NHL expert Mark Lammey went 2-0 for the second straight day with his NHL player props, putting us on an 8-3 run over the last 5 days. The Bruins beat the Golden Knights 3-1 in Sunday’s big game to move to 22-4-1 on the season.

Best Bet of the Day
NBA: Memphis Grizzlies -7 over Atlanta Hawks
8:00 pm ET, NBA TV
The Atlanta Hawks had a dramatic win last night but now head out on the road, where they are only 1-5 SU over their last 6 games. Dejounte Murray and John Collins remain out of the lineup, and the fatigue from last night’s game is worrisome if you’re a Hawks fan. The Grizzlies don’t have any fatigue issues, having played their last game on Friday. They are on a 5-game win streak and have won 7 of the last 8 games at home. Anything other than a convincing Grizzlies victory would be surprising. Their last 5 wins came by 11, 21, 8, 10 and 8 points. Check out our full Hawks vs Grizzlies predictions.
