About Last Night
Team LeBron secures win in NBA All-Star Game
It was a fun game that was close the whole way, but in the end it was Team LeBron that secured bragging rights over Team Durant in the NBA All-Star Game, as LeBron and company prevailed 163-160. However, our pick of Team Durant +5.5 came off so there were still smiles on faces in the Pickswise office! Steph Curry was named All-Star MVP after he exploded for 50 points.
Pickswise goes 8-0 on NHL totals!
The good times continued on the ice as our NHL cappers went an incredible 8-0 on their over/under bets! We had 4 overs and 4 unders all cash, rounding off with the Golden Knights and Sharks going under 5.5 goals at +104 odds (the Knights won 4-1).
Wisconsin tops Michigan
Michigan’s downward spiral continued as the Wolverines were crushed 77-63 by the Wisconsin Badgers. But Michigan’s pain was our gain as we had Wisconsin -2.5 as our college hoops best bet of the day.

Best Bet of the Day
Colorado Avalanche ML over Boston Bruins
1:00 pm ET, ESPN+
The Avalanche were able to overcome a 3-1 deficit in their last matchup with Boston in late January and steal the game in overtime, and they should be able to continue their winning ways in this game. The main storyline in this matchup is the absence of Brad Marchand, as he serves the final game of his 6-game suspension. Marchand is the engine behind this Bruins team and his absence has been felt as the team has only scored 7 goals in the last 5 games. Boston goes up against one of the best goalies in the league, as Darcy Kuemper is 16-0-2 in his last 18 games. Take the Avs to win this one. Read our full game preview for Avalanche vs Bruins.
