Welcome to another wonderful Wednesday of sports. Today we have NBA, NHL and soccer to entertain us, so let’s get straight to making your next bet better!
About Last Night
NBA Parlay cashes for the 5th time in a week!
The Pickswise NBA parlays are on a real heater, with yesterday’s +596 bet of Bucks +1.5, Bulls -3 and over 218.5 in Lakers vs Mavericks becoming the 3rd to cash in the last 4 days and the 5th in the last week! The Bucks beat the 76ers 118-116, with the Clippers beat the Jazz 121-115 in another notable result.
Strong night in the NHL
The NHL team went 6-3 on sides, cashed our only 3-star play on Panthers -1.5 vs Canadiens, and saw Connor O’Brien go 2-0 on Tuesday’s NHL player props. The Lightning beat the Hurricanes 4-3 in overtime in one of the day’s big games, while the Rangers beat the Penguins and the Avalanche saw off the Flames.

TNT doubleheader in NHL

USMNT in action again

Best Bet of the Day
New Orleans Pelicans -13.5 vs Portland Trail Blazers
10:00 pm ET
Playing a team like the Blazers couldn’t have come at a better time for the New Orleans Pelicans, who are looking to solidify themselves at the 9th seed in the West. They beat the Blazers by 14 points earlier this season and have covered the spread 5 times in their last 6 games. They’ve covered in 11 of their last 13 games on the road. Portland doesn’t have much to play for as injuries have completely ruined their season and they are pretty much tanking the rest of the way with the Lakers 4 games ahead of them. Anything but a blowout win for the Pelicans would be a big surprise. Read our full game preview for Pelicans vs Trail Blazers.
