About Last Night
Perfect plays in the NBA
There were only 2 games in the NBA on Tuesday, but the Pickswise handicappers couldn’t have done much better than going 2-0 on sides and 2-0 on totals as the Timberwolves squeezed past the Knicks 112-110 and the Warriors beat the Pistons 102-86. The Tuesday NBA parlay also cashed at +534 odds!
NHL props going strong
The team went 5-3 on Tuesday’s NHL sides and Connor O’Brien was 2-0 on NHL player props, giving us a 4-1 record over the last 3 days.
Duke upset by Seminoles
Duke was the victim of the biggest college hoops upset on Tuesday as the No. 6 team suffered its 3rd loss of the season in an overtime thriller against the Florida State Seminoles.
