We have one team in the NBA in the conference semifinals, as the Denver Nuggets cruised past the Phoenix Suns last night to advance in the West. Will we see their opponent advance tonight, or will the Warriors force a Game 7 against the Lakers? 

We had a rare losing night in the NBA Playoffs, losing both games and will look to bounce back with winners tonight. The Heat will look to close out the Knicks and Bobby has a Best Bet in that game. Despite the loss on the 76ers last night, Bobby is on a nice 17-4-1 (81%) run and is 21-8-1 (72%) this postseason.

Bobby did have another winner in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Hurricanes eliminating the Devils last night. Bobby is now on a 4-0 (+430) run this week and has a play in the Panthers vs. Maple Leafs game. Florida can elminate Toronto with a win, while in the other game tonight, the Oilers and Golden Knights look to break their 2-2 tie.

We dropped both of our Baseball games on Thursday, however, Jay once again had a winning night picking ALL games on the board. He was 4-2 (+195) and has now won 12-of-13 days. Jay has 4 Best Bets for tonight's full schedule including the Padres vs. Dodgers, while Bobby has a play in the Mets vs. Nationals contest.
