Series Should Be Over

The Avs found a spark in Game 5, and seem to be moved on from the Val Nicushkin drama. Colorado's home ice advantage is legitimate, and I expect another big performance from Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon. I like the Avs to force a Game 7.

In my opinion this is the safest bet for this game. The Avs seem to have moved on from the Val Nichushkin drama, and the Stars look like the most complete team in the NHL. It's hard for me to see this game staying under 6 goals.

Let’s play against Frankie Montas who really struggles v lefties….and take the LdD to win the first 5. I would take the LAD ML first 5 but the price makes it better value to lay the half run. I make the difference 40-45 cents and they have it priced at 54 cents so lay the half run

Like the Yanks a lot here but can’t lay that price. I LOVE Cortez at 17.5 outs but will still take him here at 18.5 at plus money.

Hart gives you an effort…and he certainly can ball out…but he also is inconsistent. This number projects higher than my models. Like a plus money play here

The Knicks do not have a deep bench and they are bereft of scoring options. I project DD at 19 points with a significant upside. He will have to shoot poorly, foul trouble or blowout script to fall short. Lay the juice..

This clunky yet entertaining series, with 90s throwback vibes, seems destined to go the full seven games. The severely short-handed Knicks managed an unlike 30-point blowout in Game 5 behind another gem from Jalen Brunson. And while he might do it again in Game 7, it's asking a lot for the Knicks to give a cover-worthy performance Friday against a deeper opponent with home-court advantage.
