| NHL | (33) Los Angeles Kings at (34) Colorado Avalanche: Spread | 3:00pm EDT - Apr 19/2026 |
The PLAY: Los Angeles Kings +1.5 (-114)
The Avalanche are listed as heavy favorites on the money-line. As a result, we're able to get an extra +1.5 goals with the Kings on the puck-line, without breaking the bank. I feel that's where the value lies in this game. Yes, the Avs are very strong, particularly on home ice. However, they've got all the pressure on them. Expected to lose, the Kings have no pressure at all. They've been stronger on the road all season. The Kings had more OT/SO losses, all of which obviously came by one goal, than any team in the league this season. Let's grab the +1.5 goals with Kings on the puck-line. *good up to +1.5 -125

| NBA | (581) Atlanta Hawks at (582) New York Knicks: Spread | 6:00pm EDT - Apr 18/2026 |
The PLAY: New York Knicks -5.0 (-110)
Lots to like about New York. The Knicks are arguably stronger than the team which went to the Eastern Conference Finals last season. They're balanced and experienced. Their 53 regular season wins is the most since 2013. They have an excellent 30-10 home record. They've covered five straight. One might of thought trading Trae Young would hurt the Hawks. It didn't. They went 28-15 after getting rid of Young. However, if you look more closely, many of those 28 wins came against bad and/or short-handed teams. The Hawks still deserve credit for winning those games and getting here. However, I expect the Knicks to be too much for them on Saturday. *good at -6 or better
