NHL (4-6) – Edmonton Oilers Puckline.
The Oilers have the edge tonight, having already beaten the Islanders 4-3 in OT earlier this season while outshooting them 42-22. Edmonton’s offense, led by McDavid and Draisaitl, has been dominant, and their power play (26.6%) ranks among the league’s best, while the Islanders’ penalty kill (70.5%) has struggled. With these factors in their favor, the Oilers are in a strong position to win again.

NBA (5-5) – Quinten Grimes o20.5pts.
Looking to get back to above .500 with this play.
The 76ers take on the Pacers in tonight’s matchup. No need to sugarcoat it, the 76ers may have the worst situation in not only the NBA, but all professional sports. They are currently steadfast in their commitment to tank the rest of this season in hopes to not lose their first round pick to the Thunder. To that end, they’ll be looking to add another loss to their record tonight.
With that being said, lead guard Quinten Grimes has been productive for them taking over for Tyrese Maxey. He is currently averaging 26.1 ppg on 54% shooting in March and has reached the 20 point mark in 4 of the last 5.
The Pacers have given up at least 120 in 3 of the last 4 games and Grimes is set up for another minutes heavy outing. I like the volume play here and I expect Grimes to continue his scoring streak. SMASH THIS OVER!!!

NHL (5-2) – Connor McDavid 1+ Assist.
Today’s lock we’re taking an Edmonton win along with a McDavid assist. Edmonton’s lacklustre loss against New Jersey yesterday will put a fire in the star players to propel the Oilers to a win and look to see McDavid come out strong. Sporting 60 assists this season and 7 in his last 5 games look for him to remain hot. An Islanders team that will have nothing to combat the Oilers will struggle to keep the puck out of the net tonight.
