About Last Night
Sunday of surprises in the NBA
It was anything but a quiet Sunday in the NBA, as the Knicks ended a 7-game losing streak by beating the Clippers, but the Rockets did even better and snapped their 12-game losing run by beating the Grizzlies! On top of that, the Bucks overcame the Suns and Nikola Jokic scored a 46-point triple-double as the Nuggets rallied to beat the Pelicans in overtime.
Late NHL drama
The NHL didn’t produce quite as much drama, although the Golden Knights beat the Senators 2-1 with a goal with just 5.2 seconds left, while the Devils upset the Blues 3-2 in overtime and the Ducks beat the Sharks by the same score, also in OT.
Ranked teams toppled in college basketball
Wisconsin lost to Nebraska as 11.5-point favorites to lose the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten. Houston lost by 14 to Memphis and Ohio State lost to Michigan in another lively day on the college hardwood!

Best Bet of the Day
Over 6.5 in Florida Panthers vs Buffalo Sabres
7:00 pm ET, ESPN+
The Panthers rank top of the NHL for goals at 4.1 per game. They are absolutely stacked with star talent, but the performance of their supporting cast has been exceptional as well, allowing them to constantly hold a top-3 ranking. They should have few issues scoring against the Sabres, and could go close to carrying the game total themselves. Buffalo could pitch in with a few goals, too, as Florida will be rolling with their backup goaltender in the first game of a back-to-back. Take the over. Check out our full preview of Panthers vs Sabres.
