About Last Night
NBA Friday parlay cashes
The Pickswise NBA team cashed our Friday parlay at odds of +596 as the Bucks, Nets and Heat all covered as favorites. As can happen at this time of the season, there were some wide-margin wins, including the Bucks beating the Pistons by 30 points and the Mavericks walloping the Pelicans by 50 — 128-78.
Great start by Pickswise MLB team
Our 2022 MLB handicappers had a fantastic Friday, going 9-3 on sides and 7-5 on totals and cashing our parlay at +596 odds. The early action has been entertaining, with the Yankees edging out the Red Sox 6-5 in 11 innings and the Blue Jays beating the Rangers 10-8.

Best Bet of the Day
Nashville Predators ML vs Florida Panthers
6:00 pm ET, ESPN
The Florida Panthers barely escaped with a win over the Sabres at home on Friday night, and now they travel overnight to play the Predators in Nashville. Winners of 4 of their past 5 games, the Predators are on track for a playoff berth behind an impressive 22-11 home record. Look for the rested home team to pull off the minor upset in this matchup. This is a great situational spot for the Predators, who should also be facing backup goalie Spencer Knight. As great as the Panthers have been this season, it’s hard to see them traveling to Nashville and taking down a very well-rounded and confident Predators team. Read our full game preview for Panthers vs Predators.
