Good morning, Pickswise Nation, and welcome to another terrific Tuesday of sports. It’s an action-packed day, as college basketball conference tournaments continue as well as big days in the NBA and NHL. And, for the first time since 2017, the World Baseball Classic is back! With so much to cover, let’s get straight to making your next bet better.
About Last Night
Celtics and Cavaliers go to overtime AGAIN
For the 3rd time this season, the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers went to overtime. And for the 2nd night in a row, the Celtics went to overtime. With the game tied and 0.8 seconds left on the clock, Grant Williams was fouled and proceeded to miss both free throws. Cleveland prevailed 118-114 in overtime to remain a perfect 7-0 in games that go to overtime this season.
Blackhawks shock Senators
The Chicago Blackhawks closed at +205 on the money line for last night’s game against the Ottawa Senators, and they ended up doing the unthinkable and winning 5-0. That win snapped a 4-game losing streak for Chicago, as they have been one of the weakest teams in the NHL this season.

Best Bet of the Day
NHL: Tampa Bay Lightning -1.5 (-120) over Philadelphia Flyers
7:00 pm ET, ESPN+
While the top 3 teams in the Atlantic Division have been all but solidified for months now, the Tampa Bay Lightning need to start building up some momentum heading into the playoffs. They have defeated Philly in 8 of the last 10 meetings, with the 3 most recent victories coming by final scores of 4-1, 7-1 and 4-0. With an angry Lightning team back in Tampa, we anticipate they’ll take care of business in convincing fashion. Check out our full Flyers vs Lightning predictions.
