Pick of the Day
Derrick White O 14.5 Points (-115)
Monday @ 7pm EST | NBA | BOS vs. CHA
Derrick White, the Celtics’ star point guard with an underdog story as a D2 baller, has scored >19.5 points in 4 of his last 5 games on the road (25 point average!). He’s playing against a weak 18-56 Charlotte Hornet’s team where the Celtics are projected to win by >17 points. Additionally, the Celtics have accumulated a 67% away game winning percentage vs. a Hornet’s 28% home game winning percentage! The Hornet’s are also ranked 29th in defensive rebound and 25th in blocks…the Celtics offense should have a lot of opportunities.
The odds appear to be in White’s favor.
Celtics’ coach Mazzulla has also been known to experiment towards the end of a winning regular season, often opting to sit out star players. Given the heavily favored Celtics, Mazzulla may bench his top scorers in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in the second half, giving more scoring opportunities to Derrick White (#4 average scorer on the team). This bodes well for White hitting the over.
Trending Bets
Iowa Hawkeyes to win vs. LSU Tigers (ML) (-125)
Monday @ 7pm EST | NCAA Basketball (W) | Iowa vs. LSU
Redditor ryanbloom21 backs Caitlin Clark to lead the Hawkeyes in a vengeful rematch against the Tigers. Clark, the NCAA’s top scorer, has a personal score to settle with LSU’s Angel Reese.
Pablo Banchero O 6.5 Rebounds (-140)
Monday @ 7pm EST | NBA | ORL vs. POR
Redditor Osubuckkwr is on a hot streak with 8 straight wins. Pablo has hit this line 100% in his last 5 games and 60% in his last 10. He is covering at 53% on the season and 100% in head-to-heads with Portland.
Same Game Parlay - 1) Jarredd Kelenic to get a hit, 2) Luis Robert to get a hit, 3) O 9.5 Total Runs (+370)
Monday @ 2:10pm EST | MLB | ATL vs. CHI
DraftKings MLB analyst Zach Thompson shares his top parlay bet for the day.
UConn to cover the spread vs. Alabama -11.5 (-110)
Monday @ 9:15pm EST | NCAA Basketball (M) | Uconn vs. Alabama
Covers analyst Douglas Farmer thinks Uconn is a bad matchup against Alabama. Alabama takes 3-pointers on 47% of its FG attempts (37% hit rate). However, Uconn is ranked No. 28 in the country in 3-pointer defenses (31% against from beyond the arc). Uconn’s Tristen Newton and Donovan Clingan should assure a double-digit cover.
Jayson Tatum U 27.5 points (-113)
Monday @ 7pm EST | NBA | BOS vs. CHA
Covers analyst Jason Logan makes the compelling argument that Boston coach Joe Mazzulla likes to use late-season games as both experiments and a chance to rest star players before playoffs. Given Boston is favored by 17 point, Tatum sitting out the second half seems likely, especially in a blow out first half scenario.
March Madness Rematch…Iowa vs. LSU
Tonight's Final Four showdown brings us a compelling rematch from last year's NCAA women's basketball championship, featuring the Iowa Hawkeyes against the LSU Tigers. This isn't just any match; it's a meeting of two of college basketball's most storied players: Caitlin Clark of Iowa faces off against Angel Reese of LSU in a battle that's set to captivate fans across the nation.
Caitlin Clark, known for her incredible scoring ability, has already etched her name in the annals of college basketball history. With an impressive 3,859 career points, the Iowa point guard from West Des Moines is not just playing; she's setting new benchmarks. Her journey from high school sensation to collegiate powerhouse has been marked by record-breaking performances and a knack for leadership, culminating in her becoming the highest-paid NIL player in college with combined deals worth $3.1 million. Last season, she averaged 27.8 points per game, a figure she elevated to an even more impressive 31.7 points per game this season.
Angel Reese, standing tall for LSU, brings her own remarkable high school legacy and a successful collegiate career that includes a strategic move from Maryland to LSU in search of a winning culture. Reese's influence on the court is undeniable, her decision to transfer underlines her commitment to success and her belief in LSU's dedication to their women's basketball program.
As these two exceptional athletes prepare to face off tonight at 7:15pm EST, the basketball community is buzzing with anticipation. This match is more than just a game; it's a showcase of talent, determination, and the spirit of competition that defines March Madness.
