Week 10 in the NFL has come and gone, but football never stops. We have another dose of midweek MACtion on Tuesday! There is also plenty of basketball and hockey to whet the appetite of sports fans and bettors.
Let’s get straight to it as we hope to make your next bet better!
About Last Night
49ers clobber Rams on Monday Night Football
It’s safe to say that the Los Angeles Rams debuts of Odell Beckham Jr. and Von Miller did not go as planned. Week 10 in the NFL wrapped up with the San Francisco 49ers putting a 31-10 beatdown on the visiting Rams. Andrew Ortenberg offers his Monday Night Football reactive piece.
Bulls beat LeBron-less Lakers
Alex Caruso returned to the Staples Center on Monday — and he made sure to bring DeMar DeRozan with him. DeRozan (38 points, 6 assists) led the Chicago Bulls to 121-103 defeat of the Los Angeles Lakers, who were once again without LeBron James. Chicago is now 10-4 SU.

Huge 12-game slate in the NHL

NBA double-header on TNT
There are only three games on the NBA schedule. But three is enough when they are Warriors vs Nets, 76ers vs Jazz, and Spurs vs Clippers. The first two make up a double-header on TNT, starting with GSW-BKN at 7:30 pm ET and concluding with PHI-UTA at 10:00 pm ET. You can find our Warriors vs Nets preview here.

Best Bet of the Day
New York Rangers ML over Montreal Canadiens
7:00 pm ET, ESPN+
The Canadiens are having a tough time getting on track this season, as they enter this one with a dreadful 4-11-2 record. Things have been especially tough on the road, as they are 1-6-1 away from Montreal. The Rangers are riding a 3-game winning streak, so the Habs appear to be in another tough spot here. New York’s offense is firing on all cylinders, producing 12 goals during the 3-game winning streak. Montreal goaltender Jake Allen is injured and his status for this game remains doubtful. The Rangers are projected to have their No. 1 goaltender back in net. Alexander Georgiev got the start on Sunday against the Devils, so Igor Shesterkin figures to be the starter in this one. The Rangers have won 7 of Shesterkin’s 11 starts. Read our full game preview for Canadiens vs Rangers.

Stat of the Day
With injuries to three members of their frontcourt rotation, the San Antonio Spurs have struggled defensively of late. They currently give up the 9th-most points per game (109.5 ppg) while allowing their opponents to shoot at the 4th-highest rate from the field (46.5 percent). It could be tough sledding against a Clippers team that is 4-1 SU on its current homestand.
