Our selection is on the Montreal Canadiens to defeat the Florida Panthers on Tuesday at 7:07pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones: If you didn't know, Montreal is in a playoff position right now. It's been playing really well this season. The Canadiens haven't been great lately, but just beat this Florida team on Saturday. They are 15-6 in division games this season, which has helped a lot in the standings. Florida has now lost four straight times against Montreal. The Panthers have also failed to cover the goal spread in six straight road games. We're on the Canadiens plus the goal and a half.

(#55) Tampa Bay Lightning // ML // The Lightning have won three straight games including one of them against this very Islanders team on Saturday. Although it's sometimes difficult to beat a team twice in consecutive games overall, I believe that Tampa is the much stronger side and that it should be able to do so. The Lightning look to be title contenders once again this year while the Islanders are probably not going to make the playoffs. Talking about NYI a bit more, it's lost five consecutive games now. This. will be its third game in four days and that's a lot considering that there's only nine games left in the season. The Islanders' schedule doesn't get much easier for the remainder of the season and I could see them dropping a lot of games down the stretch. Expect Tampa to come through with a win here this evening. Line Parameter: play until -180.. Score Prediction: 5-2 Lightning.NBA - Point Spread - Tue, Apr 01 @ 07:40 PM

For my best free pick on the board I am looking at the New York Knicks hosting the Philadelphia 76ers. Philadelphia is a laughing stock in the NBA but this is a ton of points to give any NBA team and this New York Knicks team has not been blowing teams out. Sixers and Knicks have a history of tight hard fought games especially the last two. Sixers 0-7 last 7 ATS and the Knicks have covered 4 of the last 5. Waiting until the tip off should get you the best number.

The Golden State Warriors (43-31) visit the Memphis Grizzlies (44-30) in a pivotal Western Conference showdown with playoff implications hanging in the balance. Both teams are closely matched in the standings, but they enter the contest with very different momentum. Golden State is peaking at the right time, having won 16 of their last 19 games. Their recent blowout win over San Antonio, where they scored 148 points, demonstrated the depth and explosiveness of their offense. Young guard Brandin Podziemski has emerged as a steady scoring option, and the midseason addition of Jimmy Butler has added a defensive edge and veteran leadership. However, forward Jonathan Kuminga is questionable for this matchup due to a pelvic contusion, which could impact their rotation and defensive matchups. Memphis, on the other hand, is in a rough patch, dropping five of their last six games. They enter this game on the second night of a back-to-back after facing Boston on Monday, raising questions about fatigue and focus. Adding to the uncertainty, the Grizzlies recently parted ways with head coach Taylor Jenkins. Midseason coaching changes often create turbulence, and Memphis may still be adjusting to new systems and expectations. Memphis holds the edge offensively, averaging 122.2 points per game—second-best in the league. Golden State averages 113.4, ranking 18th. The Warriors are much stronger defensively, allowing only 110.7 points per game (8th), compared to Memphis’ 117.1 (25th). Golden State’s balance, veteran savvy, and defensive edge give them a favorable profile entering this matchup. They’re playing confident, cohesive basketball and will look to exploit Memphis’ vulnerability in transition and on the defensive end. I'm taking the Warriors here on the road on Tuesday.MLB - Moneyline - Tue, Apr 01 @ 08:10 PM
San Francisco Giants vs Houston Astros
Houston Astros +100 (Consensus Line)
After taking two of three hosting the Mets in low-scoring close games, the Astros lost 7-2 in the opener with the Giants at Minute Maid Park Monday with a three-run home run in the sixth inning, a game-changer in what had been on-pace to be another low-scoring game.

After taking two of three hosting the Mets in low-scoring close games, the Astros lost 7-2 in the opener with the Giants at Minute Maid Park Monday with a three-run home run in the sixth inning, a game-changer in what had been on-pace to be another low-scoring game. Wilmer Flores has been the power source for the Giants near the bottom of the lineup in a 3-1 start but the top of the lineup for San Francisco has struggled so far. Houston is getting production from Jose Altuve but the rest of the lineup has endured a slow start. There are proven hitters on the roster as the Astros should as usual be an above average offensive team, even without Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker. San Francisco had to use four relivers last night even after getting a brilliant 6-inning start from Jordan Hicks. Logan Webb will make his second turn in the rotation after a marginal opening day start for the Giants, allowing three runs and six hits in five innings vs. the Reds. Webb was a top NL starter in 2021 and 2022 but has been much closer to average the past two seasons with his K/9 hitting a career low last season. This will be the season and Astros debut for Hayden Wesneski who has started 22 games for the Cubs the past three seasons with solid results. His career K/9 is approaching 8.7 and he was a valuable part of the Tucker trade last winter, even if he was overshadowed by Cam Smith and Isaac Paredes in the deal. One can expect that the bullpen will be a strength for Houston this season and this is an appealing price on the Astros who went 46-35 at home last season and had the second best run differential in the American League. Thank you for playing with Nelly’s and Best of Luck. Nelly’s is 5-0 the past five days, sitting as the #1 win percentage leader at BigAl.com in the last week. Don’t miss our strongest pick of the NIT tonight plus a great NBA opportunity.MLB - Moneyline - Tue, Apr 01 @ 09:40 PM
Detroit Tigers vs Seattle Mariners
Seattle Mariners -164 (BetOnline)
Tuesday MLB Free play. My selection is on Seattle over Detroit at 9:40 pm ET on Tuesday. We'll back the Mariners as they look to rebound from Monday’s series-opening loss. Logan Gilbert takes the mound for Seattle after an excellent season debut in which he tossed seven innings of two-hit, one-r...
Tuesday MLB Free play. My selection is on Seattle over Detroit at 9:40 pm ET on Tuesday. We'll back the Mariners as they look to rebound from Monday’s series-opening loss. Logan Gilbert takes the mound for Seattle after an excellent season debut in which he tossed seven innings of two-hit, one-run ball but settled for a no-decision. Casey Mize will start for Detroit, continuing his return from injuries that sidelined him for nearly two full seasons. While Mize showed flashes in Spring Training, his 2023 campaign saw him post a 3.95 FIP and 1.47 WHIP across 22 appearances. Current Mariners hitters haven’t seen much of him but have had success in a small sample, going 7-for-25 (.280) with five extra-base hits and a .948 OPS. Look for Seattle to bounce back behind a strong performance from Gilbert. Take Seattle. Projected score: Mariners 5, Tigers 3.NBA - Point Spread - Tue, Apr 01 @ 10:00 PM

This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our Tuesday Free Play. Minnesota is coming off a win over Detroit on Sunday to make it two straight wins and remain part of a group of four teams jockeying for position in the Western Conference for seeds No. 5 through No. 8 that are all within one game of each other. The Timberwolves hit the road for a five-game roadtrip starting in a bad spot after playing seven of their previous eight games at home. Denver rolled over Utah by 36 points which is not saying much but it kept the momentum going and the Nuggets improved to 25-12 at home. The Nuggets are sitting in the No. 3 spot with a lot on the line to close the season as they are ahead of the Lakers by one game to avoid the No. 4 spot and having to face the Thunder prior to the conference finals and trail the Rockets by a game and a half for the No. 2 seed and home court through the conference semifinals. Extra motivation is in play with Minnesota having won the first three games of the season series and Denver is 8-3 ATS this season coming off a win by 20 or more points. Here, we play on all teams where the line is +3 to -3 - off a win by 20 points or more over a division rival going up against an opponent off an home win scoring 110 or more points. This situation is 30-5 ATS (85.7 percent) since 1997 with a scoring differential of +6.1 ppg.

My complimentary NHL pick on Tuesday is on the Las Vegas Golden Knights at 10:00 EST.

My complimentary NHL pick on Tuesday is on the Las Vegas Golden Knights at 10:00 EST. Edmonton managed a 3-2 OT win over Calgary on Saturday, but I think it will struggle to keep pace with the home side in this one. The Golden Knights are off a 3-1 win over Nashville and come in red-hot overall after winning six straight. The bottom line here though is that the Oilers are basically playing second-stringers here, with Stuart Skinner, John Klingberg, Connor McDavid, Mattias Ekholm, Alc Regula, and Evander Kane all on the injured list. In contrast, Vegas is only without Tomas Hertl and Robin Lehner. Taking these injuries into consideration, I really do feel that Vegas could be a lot larger favorite at home in this spot. Consider the Knights on Tuesday.NCAAB - Over / Under - Sat, Apr 05 @ 08:49 PM
