A solid six game slate on Friday will be headlined by the league leading Vegas Golden Knights hosting the Buffalo Sabres. Vegas is currently first in the entire NHL in points with 45, four points ahead of the second place Vancouver Canucks. This will mark only the third time where Knights forward Jack Eichel will play against the team that drafted him second overall in 2015.
For today’s Betway Bets of the Day, we’ll be giving you my best picks for both the NHL and NBA games.
Player Prop
In Eichel’s two meetings against his former team, the Buffalo Sabres, he has scored three times. This is my play of the day and will put .8 units on it for a nice cash-out.
Player Prop
Matias Maccelli to register 1 or more assists at -120. My $12.50 bet would return $22.91
Maccelli is one of the league’s most underrated players. He finished fourth in Calder voting last season and has been even better this season, ranking second on the Coyotes behind only Clayton Keller in points. Maccelli has registered an assist in three of his last four games, so I like this as a full unit play against a Sharks team that gives up the most goals in the league.
Player Prop
Kevin Durant to register over 26.5 points at -125. My $12.50 bet would return $22.50.
The biggest thing I look at when betting on basketball is the quality of the team, as in blowouts, stars sit out the fourth quarters. Two solid teams with a low spread is where I usually like to put my money, and tonight’s Knicks and Suns game is the perfect spot. Durant has hit his over 26.5 in 12 — yes you saw that right — straight games.
Put a full unit on this play.
Last Game Bets
Alex Barkov to register over 2.5 shots at-134. My $12.50 bet would return $21.87. – HIT
Florida to score a power-play goal at -118. My $10 bet would return $18.50. – MISSED
Vancouver to win money-line at +100. My $10 bet would return $20. – HIT
A solid night for us, as we staked $32.50 and returned $41.87. We are now up $102.03 on the year.
