About Last Night
Kyrie drops 60 as Nets hit 150 vs Magic
It wasn’t the busiest day in the NBA on Tuesday with only 4 games, but the Pickswise handicappers cashed our only 3-star play of over 235 in Grizzlies vs Pacers. There were 237 points, as the Grizzlies won 135-102, but that’s enough! Our only NBA player prop play was also a winner. The day’s wildest game saw Kyrie Irving drop a career-high 60 points as the Nets crushed the Magic 150-108.
NHL Best Bet is a winner
Our only 3-star play was also a winner in the NHL as the Capitals beat the Islanders. It was a day with few upsets as the Avalanche, Panthers, Predators, Bruins and Rangers all won.
Strong start to NCAA Tournament
We went 2-0 on totals and 1-1 on sides on the first day of the First Four as Texas Southern and Indiana booked their places in the first round with wins over Texas A&M CC and Wyoming respectively.

TNT doubleheader in NHL
It’s a quieter day in the NHL with only 4 games, but TNT is showing Bruins vs Wild at 7:30 pm ET and Lightnng vs Kraken at 10:00 pm ET. Read today’s NHL picks.
Best Bet of the Day
Minnesota Timberwolves -8.5 vs Los Angeles Lakers
8:00 pm ET
With just 2 wins in their last 10 overall and 10 losses in a row in road games, the Lakers are in real trouble of missing out on the postseason. They have the 2nd-toughest schedule in the NBA in their remaining games and tonight’s game is exactly that. They’ve been beaten by the Timberwolves in 8 of the last 9 meetings at Target Center and are just 1-7 ATS in their last 8 against Western Conference opponents. LeBron James is playing at a high level, but he is questionable for tonight’s game with a knee issue. Take the home team with confidence. Read our full game preview for Lakers vs Timberwolves.
