Xam’s Daily Gems:
Rangers Money Line -120
Simply put, the Rangers are one of the best teams in the NHL. They have the most points in the entire Eastern Conference and are playing with confidence. They have an edge at home as well, and the Oilers are an under .500 club. Even with their breakout against the Devils, this is still a team that scored 2 goals in their last 2 games before the game against the Devils. The Rangers are solid defensively, and it’s unclear whether or not the Oilers have the offense to compete in this matchup.
Nuggets Money Line -190
The Nuggets are the reigning champs and one of the best teams in the league for a reason. It’s been a good bit of travel for the Nuggets, but they’ve only played once since December 18th, so they should be rested. The Nets aren’t a bad team, but they’ve struggled against premium competition. The Nuggets have the talent and championship pedigree to come away with the win tonight. The Nets haven’t shown to be good enough defensively to slow down the Nuggets, and Denver’s defense should keep Brooklyn contained.
Kings Money Line -166
The Suns have been dealing with some injuries recently and have been struggling offensively. They’ve scored 106 or less points in 3 of their last 7 games. The Kings are one of the best teams offensively in the entire league, and they’re even better at home. Containing Kevin Durant and Devin Booker will be key, but the Kings have plenty of their own firepower. De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis have been great for the Kings this year, and they’ll have a significant homecourt edge in this game. If Durant and Booker are contained, the Suns should be able to do enough offensively to get the job done tonight.
