Above: Me, reflecting on my decision not to bet CHA Hornets ML.

Friends — thank goodness for the NHL tonight, because Player Props single-handedly saved us from a full-blown disaster 😅. Props went a strong 3/4, while Picks had a dreaded 0/3 night. That said, all three misses came from the NBA… and honestly, I’m still stunned by what we saw. For those curious, here’s what we had:

 

Player Props (3/4)

-Alexander Ovechkin Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+130) ✅

-Jacob Trouba Over 1.5 Shots On Goal (-130) ✅

-Karel Vejmelka Over 21.5 Saves (-120) ✅

-Jaylen Brown Over 30.5 Points (-110) ❌

Picks (0/3)

-HOU Rockets -8.5 (-110) ❌

-OKC Thunder -15.5 (-110) ❌

-OKC Thunder Team Total Over 124.5 (-110) ❌

 

The Charlotte Hornets beat the OKC Thunder by nearly 30 points — in Oklahoma City?! I’ll be real with you: nights like this make it easier to stomach a rough slate, because there is no universe where I would’ve backed the Hornets to beat anyone by 27 points — let alone the best team in the league.

 

On a much brighter note, shout out to Alexander Ovechkin for cashing 4 shots on goal — that +130 prop kicked back a beautiful return 😉

 

Overall, we made it out of the day relatively unscathed. And honestly, nights like this are exactly why I love having Player Props in the mix — they do a great job balancing things out 😅👊🏽

 

Alright friends, that’s all for tonight.


As always, I’ll see you bright and early to conquer the books.
