Variety is the spice of life, and for us, that means having your pucks and your buckets, too. So, let’s add a little spice to our daily best bets by talking a little hockey along with the NBA.

NBA Best Bets

Orlando -5 (-110)
Golden State -7 (-110)
Parlay Odds: +264

Atlanta likes to outscore opponents rather than play defense, but they’ll need to focus on defense somewhat against a solid Orlando Magic team. The Magic’s defense will keep the Atlanta offense in check, so if the Hawks do not figure out some way to stop Franz Wagner and/or Paolo Banchero from scoring, ATL will be in trouble.

I don’t think Atlanta is capable of stepping up its defense.

As for Golden State vs. Memphis, you have one team (the Warriors) stacked with veteran talent and a coach who knows how to win this time of year. In the other, you have a group still looking for an identity after losing their head coach midseason.

The only thing that can stop Steph Curry and the Warriors in this game will be Steph Curry and the Warriors. They’ll easily cover this spread.

A $100 wager will result in a $364 payday — your stake ($100) plus $264 in winnings.

Ja Morant to record 3+ made 3-pointers (+100)
I do believe the Warriors will beat the Grizzlies, but I don’t think Ja Morant will go down without a fight. He’s been deadly from 3-point range in April, hitting three or more in four of five games. He went 5-of-8 from beyond the arc when the Grizzlies played the Warriors on April 1.

He’ll get at least three in this game.

Trae Young UNDER 10.5 assists (-154)
Young led the league this season with 11.6 assists per game, but Orlando’s stifling defense will make it hard for him to dish to teammates in scoring position. In three previous games vs. Orlando, he had eight, six and 10. He’ll finish with under 10.5 in this game.

NHL Best Bets

Devils (-1.5) vs. Bruins (+120), o/u 5.5

New Jersey has its playoff spot locked up, but the Devils will want to get back on the right side of the scoreboard after losing their last three games. Boston has been playing decent hockey with wins in three of its last five, but the Bruins seldom win back-to-back games this year.

These teams played a week ago, and Boston dominated 7–2. But I think we’ll see a Devils team looking to get right before the playoffs get underway.

Our pick: Devils ML (-142)

Kings (-1.5) vs. Kraken (-105), o/u 5.5

The Kraken have already been eliminated from the playoffs, and the Kings have pretty much locked up their seed after a dominant 5–0 win over Edmonton on Monday night. So, I’d expect the Kings not to be too concerned with winning this game, choosing to rest key players instead.

Look for Seattle to take advantage of the situation and get a win over the playoff-bound Kings.

Our pick: Kraken ML (-105)

Kratochvílová přišla po 43 letech o rekord slavného mítinku

Návrat do špičkové formy předvedla na čtvrtce Salva Ajd Násirová reprezentující Bahrajn. V čase 48,70 s vyhrála diamantovou trofej s více než půlsekundovým náskokem, rychleji běžela letos jen ona sama začátkem dubna.V historických tabulkách mítinku tak po dlouhých 43 letech vystřídala na čele českou legendu Jarmilu Kratochvílovou, její výkon z roku 1982 překonala o 16 setin. Pod 49 sekund se rodačka z Nigérie dostala po čtvrté v letošní sezoně.

Gabriel pomohl Midtjyllandu k postupu, utkání ale nedohrál kvůli zranění

Midtjylland si přivezl z domácího hřiště náskok 4:0 a trenér Thomasberg si mohl dovolit změny v sestavě. Do základní jedenáctky se tak dostal i český obránce, který v prvním utkání nehrál. Hostům navíc pomohlo vyloučení obránce Lötjönena. Početní převahu po změně stran zužitkovali Brazilec Brumado z penalty a Turek Simsir. Gabriel byl v 73. minutě střídán pro zranění.Odvetná utkání 4. předkola fotbalové Evropské ligy:Kuopio (Fin.) - Midtjylland 0:2 (0:0), první zápas 0:4, postoupil Midtjylland

Deion Sanders, Nick Saban Call for NFL-style Playoff Bonuses for College Players

Leave it to Deion Sanders to come up with an idea for the College Football Playoff that nobody has really mentioned yet: Pay the players for making the tournament, and pay them more when their teams win.If they do that, then "now it’s equality, now it’s even and every player is making the same amount of money," the Colorado coach said.Sanders and former Alabama coach Nick Saban talked to The Associated Press as part of their unveiling of a new Aflac commercial that rolls out this week with a storyboard ripped from today’s headlines: It opens with Sanders complaining: "This game has gotten out of control. All the money. All the unpredictability."He is talking about health insurance, of course, and the commissioner he wants to see run it isn’t Saban, but that kooky duck who wears the same powder-blue sportscoat […]

Bills Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas Says Josh Allen ‘Can Win Two Super Bowls’

<!--> [--> Eric Williams NFL Reporter <!--> --> Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas was the engine for one of the most dominant offenses in NFL history, helping to lead the Buffalo Bills to four straight Super Bowls in the early 1990s. But those teams famously fell short of bringing a Lombardi Trophy back to Buffalo.Thomas now believes that reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen and the current team can finally accomplish that feat for Bills fans. "I truly think Josh can win two Super Bowls," Thomas told me. "And I think that will put him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. … I want him to be great and in the Hall of Fame, because if he’s in the Hall of Fame, he’ll have done great things here in Buffalo. "I don’t know if he’ll be the greatest […]
