NHL - Vegas Golden Knights at Toronto Maple Leafs
PROMO: GET A 3-DAY ALL ACCESS FOR TONIGHT'S 5% NHL and all sports plays through Sunday in NHL, NFL, Soccer
Game Thoughts: Highly anticipated game in Toronto on Friday night as former Leaf Mitch Marner returns for the first time as a Vegas Golden Knights player. The Knights were in action Thursday in a 4-3 loss in Boston after played well after falling behind 4-0 and from an analytics perspective they held the xG advantage at 4.88 to 3.22 but two early powerplay goals put them behind the eight ball all night. Expecting the Knights to bounce back here and put in a maximum effort for their teammate and did register a come from behind win over this Leafs team last week in Vegas.
The play is Vegas Golden Knights -125

(547) Boston Celtics at (548) Brooklyn Nets: Spread
Boston Celtics -8.5 (-105)
Away Favorites Trend:
Teams that are away favorites by -6 or higher and are revenging a loss as home favorites have a statistically strong record of 161-92-8 (64%) ATS. This trend suggests a notable likelihood for teams in this situation to cover the spread.
Boston Celtics:
Current ATS Performance: The Celtics are on a 4-0 ATS run, showing strong performance against the spread, aided by an effective defense that has allowed only 41.5% shooting from opponents during this stretch.
Brooklyn Nets:
Recent Struggles: The Nets recently suffered a 120-66 loss, where they struggled significantly, shooting only 29.1% from the field and allowing 57.5% shooting to their opponents. This indicates a substantial drop in their performance.
Historical Performance After Major Losses: Since 1997, teams that have lost by 50 or more points (like the Nets) have a record of 14-22 (39%) ATS in their next game. As underdogs, they have even worse statistics at 9-20 (31%) ATS.

The Gold Sheet
NBA Basketball
View profile
The Pistons allow the third fewest points in the paint per game this season so if Houston wants to compete for a win in the second leg of a back-to-back, they’ll have to get some additional help from some outside shooting. We’re going to take Reed Sheppard to make over 1.5 three-pointers in Detroit tonight making 3+ three-pointers in four-straight games now. He’s been averaging 2.6 three-pointers made per game this season and we’re aware this line may move to 2.5 three-pointers made which we’d advocate Sheppard going over for as well. In their first head-to-head matchup way back on October 24th Sheppard went 3-4 from three-point range. Across his last eight games Sheppard is shooting 45% from downtown on over six attempts per game so let’s look for Sheppard to go over 1.5 three-pointers made in Detroit tonight and we’re comfortable backing over 2.5 three-pointers made should the line get there at any point today before tipoff.

The Houston Rockets are coming off an overtime loss yesterday and tonight they'll be playing the second half of a back-to-back set. This game will be their sixth in just nine days, so the fatigue from those recent contests—plus last night's extra overtime minutes—should really take a toll. Even setting the tough schedule aside, the Rockets haven't been sharp lately. They've gone just 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 games, and their road record this season stands at 11-13.
Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons are rolling at home, sitting at 17-4 in Little Caesars Arena, the best home record in the Eastern Conference. They've won four straight overall and seven of their last eight, showing strong form. They're hopeful to get Cade Cunningham back tonight after he missed Wednesday's win but they proved they can still get it done without him—Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser stepped up big in that game, combining for 26 points and eight assists off the bench. Jalen Duren has been an absolute force inside as well, continuing to dominate the boards and paint. All things considered, the Pistons are the play.

TORONTO. The Maple Leafs weren't happy with blowing a game at Vegas recently. They were leading by two midway through the third period but ended up giving up the tying goal with seven seconds left in regulation and then going on to lose in OT. Now the Leafs get a chance to avenge that loss and they get to do so on home ice, where they've been much stronger. More importantly, having dropped b2b games and four or five overall, they just need a win. While Toronto had yesterday off, the Golden Knights are off a 4-3 loss, at Boston. They fell behind 4-0 and fought hard to climb back. Schedule and venue in their favor, I'm backing the revenge-minded Leafs.

We actually took TB for the first period PL against SJ and they did not make it but did win 4-1. Tonight we will make a small play on the Lightning again on the first period PL, as they catch the Blackhawks less than 24 hrs after a shocking OT win in Carolina. There is no Knight in net for the Blackhawks and we believe that helps TB here. Chicago will be feeling good about themselves but TB have had a couple of days to get ready for this one. They will be ready right from the start.

Score prediction + betting line breakdown
My projection (full game): Saint Louis 80 – St. Bonaventure 72 (Total 152)
That makes the market total (157.5) look a bit inflated versus recent since-1/1/26 scoring profiles (SLU: 146.4 average game total across their last 5; SBON: 153.0 across last 5).
Player matchup breakdowns (with competition level context)
Robbie Avila (SLU) vs Frank Mitchell (SBON): Avila is SLU’s offensive hub (team leader in points and assists) while Mitchell is SBON’s primary scorer/rebounder. If SBON has to send extra help to keep Avila from facilitating, SLU’s secondary options get cleaner looks; if SBON stays home, Avila’s efficiency/decision-making tends to keep SLU’s offense stable.
SLU guards (Dion Brown / Quentin Jones) vs SBON perimeter (Dasonte Bowen / Darryl Simmons II): SBON’s best path is Simmons creating shot volume and Bowen organizing—but Bowen is listed questionable, which matters for ball security and late-clock shot quality. SLU’s since-1/1/26 defensive results are strong (66.0 allowed), including multiple A-10 games where opponents were held in the 50s/60s.
Rebounding/second-chance: Mitchell is a major glass edge (10.4 RPG), but SLU has multiple rebound contributors (Brown/McCottry) and has been winning games by keeping opponents’ scoring down rather than racing totals upward—one reason I’m more comfortable on the under than on laying points.
Competition level: SLU’s profile is clearly stronger right now (18–1, ranked) versus SBON (12–7) on the same ESPN stat pages, and SLU’s since-1/1/26 stretch includes road wins and consistent margins.
Why I am betting this:
My game script projects below this range: I make it roughly 152 total, so Under 158.5 gives ~6–7 points of cushion.
Saint Louis’ defense is legitimately strong (the most “Under-friendly” ingredient): SLU grades well in efficiency-based defensive metrics, which tends to travel better than shooting.
Spread context (-8.5) is Under-friendly more often than not: when one team is expected to control, the leading team often shortens the game late (more half-court, longer possessions, less transition).
St. Bonaventure’s scoring is more fragile if their ball-handler isn’t 100%: if Bowen is limited, SBON can get sloppier and more late-clock possessions (empty trips are gold for an Under).
A-10 games can compress totals: conference familiarity + scouting usually reduces easy transition looks and increases half-court possessions (especially when a top defense is involved).

2% WASH/CGY under 6 (-110)
Calgary focuses on defensive hockey, locking up the neutral zone and blue line, especially at home. Washington's offense has been lacking but more importantly, their defense has taken a 180 from what we saw in the first half of the season. The word out of Washington is that head coach Carbery has been spending a lot of time in practice and off the ice meetings focusing on locking down the back end. Expect a tight low-scoring game on Friday in Calgary.

In my opinion, the wrong guy is favored here. Now both these fighters were struggling but recently turned it around. Alexander Hernandez was on a 1-4 run, now currently on a 4 fight winning streak after changing divisions. Long time UFC vet Michael Johnson was on a 1-5 run, but having a career resurgence going 4-1. Over Alexander's winning streak he's truly had favorable matchup's for his style. Aging out fighters who have grappling and limited striking ability. Perfect for Hernandez who can wrestle defensively and out land his opponents on the feet. Having the striking advantage in each fight opened opportunities to work at range. While Michael Johnson presents a problematic style for Hernandez even in the late stages of his career. Reason being, I'm not seeing a decline in MJ's skill set. In his most recent fight he faced a young rising talent in Daniel Zellhuber who's a sharp rangy striker. Impressively, Johnson out landed Zellhuber 80-52 including a knockdown winning on the judges scorecards as a +600 underdog. Going back rewatching that fight, MJ still had all the tools that made him dangerous earlier in his career. A tricky south paw with fast hands, solid boxing and good footwork. I believe his striking is going to overwhelm Hernandez on Saturday night. The speed at which MJ's combinations develop is much faster than Hernandez who can slow down as the fight goes on. If this fight plays out on the feet... I expect Johnson to land the more damaging impactful shots over 3 rounds. In order for Alexander to find any success he'll need to mix in some wrestling, which hasn't been in his arsenal. Over his last 7 UFC fights he's only secured 4 takedowns and all were against a 38 year old Kurt Holobaugh who has a poor 37% takedown defense. A strength of Johnson is his ability to 'sprawl & brawl', defend the takedowns and land big counters. Currently Johnson supports a strong 81% takedown defense rate, so I don't see Hernandez getting him down or keeping him down. Fight should mostly playout on the feet and that's exactly where Johnson does his best work. Will win with hand speed in pocket exchanges while Hernandez is known wilt. When fights are going his way, he's confident when the gameplan is working. When faced with adversity he can begin questioning himself seeking an exit. It's been an issue throughout his career and at a sizeable favorite price tag he's hard to trust. Give me Michael Johnson to out box him at range and cashing us this plus money ticket!

This is a free play on SEA.
Lets look back at Week 16, the Rams were the favorite to win the division, and the favorite to win the Super Bowl. The came into Seattle and blew the doors off in the first half. They were up 30-14 well into the fourth quarter of that game, but Seattle came all the way back to win in OT. Since then this Rams team has not looked anything like the team that was considered by many to be the cream of the crop. A week later they lost at Atlanta, and Bijan Robinson ran for 195 yards on 22 carries. They barely escaped Carolina, and then needed overtime to beat the Bears despite Caleb Williams throwing three picks. Seattle has won eight straight, and appears to be in peak form. This line is a bit short.

Projected 2026 Wins | 78 wins |
The primary pros for betting the Over 73.5 wins on the Miami Marlins for the 2026 season center on their clear upward trajectory and strategic offseason enhancements. Coming off a solid 79-83 finish in 2025—their best record in recent years and a significant improvement that included a strong second half and flirtation with relevance—the team demonstrated growing competitiveness, particularly with young talent stepping up in areas like the infield, outfield, and pitching depth. I have confidence in the rotation's stability and competence as most projected starters (even depth options) are expected to post ERAs better than 4.50, supporting a reliable pitching foundation despite some trades.
Offseason moves further bolster the case: the Marlins added impactful pieces like closer Pete Fairbanks (a one-year, $13M signing for bullpen stability), outfielder Christopher Morel (power and versatility), promising young outfielders Owen Caissie (via trade from Cubs) and Esteury Ruiz (from Dodgers), and a haul of prospects/infielders/outfielders from deals involving Ryan Weathers (to Yankees) and Edward Cabrera (to Cubs). These acquisitions address offensive gaps (especially power and depth up the middle) while the losses were primarily of controllable pitchers traded for youth and future upside, aligning with a build-without-blocking-talent approach.
Projections and analyses suggest the Marlins could push toward or above .500 (around 78-82 wins), well clear of 73.5, especially if key youngsters like Kyle Stowers, Jakob Marsee, Otto Lopez, and others continue progressing or break out further. The line appears undervalued given their 2025 baseline and roster upgrades, making the over a value play with momentum on their side in a division where not every team is peaking.
