It was a terrific night in sports betting on Thursday with a mix of blowouts and exciting finishes - and not to mention - very profitable for us. We went a perfect 9-0 with our Best Bets including an easy Consensus winner on the Timberwolves in the NBA, who destroyed the Nuggets to force a Game 7 on Sunday. Jay is on a 21-13 (62%) run, while Bobby is 15-6 (71%) over the last three weeks in the NBA Playoffs. There is just one game tonight and we have a Consensus pick in the Knicks vs. Pacers game.

The most exciting action last night came in the NHL with two dramatic finishes. Chris Kreider scored three goals in nine minutes in the third period to lift the Rangers to the conference finals. Then the Canucks scored with about 30 seconds remaining late last night to give the Canucks a 3-2 series lead over the Oilers. Jay is on a sizzling 11-2 (+$960) run in the NHL Playoffs, while Bobby is on an 8-5 (+$385) run heading into tonight's action. You can find our Consensus pick for the Stars vs. Avalanche game in this newsletter.
