About Last Night
Huge NBA night with +2851 SGP winner
While we’ll turn our attention to the college hardwood tonight, yesterday was a great day for the Pickswise Nation in the NBA. Our same game parlay expert Filip Tomic nailed his +2851 SGP on the Grizzlies vs Nets game, as Kyrie Irving topped 40 points while Kevin Durant dished out 8 assists! On top of that, we went 5-1 in player props while also cashing our +596 parlay. What a night!
Shocks on the ice as Sabres and Canucks secure upsets
There might have only been 4 games, but there were some surprise results in the NHL last night as the Sabres secured a 3-2 shootout victory over the Penguins and the Canucks beat the league-leading Avalanche 3-1.
Today’s Slate
Sweet 16 gets started in March Madness
We’re reaching the business end of the NCAA Tournament now as the Sweet 16 gets started tonight. We have 4 games to look forward to, starting with tournament favorites Gonzaga going up against Arkansas. Michigan takes on Villanova, Texas Tech battles Duke, and Houston faces Arizona in the other games. Check out our picks for each of those March Madness matchups.
Tidy slate in the NBA
There are just 5 games in the NBA tonight, but there are some crucial matchups. The Cavaliers take on the Raptors with both vying for the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference to avoid the play-in tournament, while the Suns face the Nuggets at 10:00 pm ET on ESPN. Check out our picks for tonight’s NBA matchups.
Big night on the ice
There is a hefty 9-game slate in the NHL, with multiple teams continue to battle it out to reach the playoffs. Read our predictions for today’s NHL games.
USA in World Cup soccer action
There is a big soccer game tonight, too, with the USA facing Mexico in a World Cup qualifier. That game starts at 10:00 pm ET and is live on CBS Sports Network. Find out our best bet for USA vs Mexico.
Best Bet of the Day
Tampa Bay Lightning ML over Boston Bruins
7:00 pm ET, ESPN+
The Bruins are on fire, as they have won 7 of their last 9 contests. The Lightning, on the other hand, have only won 2 games in their last 7. This mismatch has really shown in the standings, as the Bruins are now only 1 point behind the Bolts for second place in the division. However, we’re taking the Lightning here. They are coming off a close 3-2 loss against the tough Carolina Hurricanes, and they should be able to ride that relatively strong play and take down the Bruins — who struggled to beat the Montreal Canadiens in their previous game. Roll with Tampa Bay getting things back on track. Read our full game preview for Lightning vs Bruins.
