Free Sports Picks from Top Betting Handicappers - Best Bets of the Day

AAA Sports' Selection: Dallas Stars (ML).

Dallas needs to win this game on Thursday to keep the series going. If not, it's out of the playoffs.

The Stars are 25-9-9 on the road this season which is about as good as any team in the NHL.

Minnesota has actually been a better team when playing on the road as well -- going by wins/losses (not points)

The Wild are the healthier team right now. But, they've had trouble on the PK all series and they will continue to today.

We're on Dallas to force Game Seven.

Blue Jays -130

Toronto and Minnesota meet to open a 4 game set and we’re on the Jays. Toronto sends out Kevin Gausman, who is 2-1 with a solid ERA of 2.57. He’s allowed 2 runs or less in all but one start and he’s been able to be efficient when it comes to keeping his pitch count down. Minnesota counters with Bailey Ober, who runs into a Toronto offense that is red hot right now. The Jays are coming up with timely hits and forcing opposing pitchers into some deep counts. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Tonight’s FREE selection is a strong lean on the JAYS ML. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Marc David Sports' Free Pick

We really like the under in this matchup. The Twins have struggled at the plate over their 2-8 stretch, and we think positive regression awaits Toronto RHP Kevin Gausman (2-1, 2.57 ERA) after three mediocre outings that all went over. Minnesota RHP Bailey Ober (2-1, 3.54 ERA) has pitched his best at home, and although the Blue Jays are coming off an eight-run outing, they sit 1-3 to the over/under after scoring five or more runs last time out.

 This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER!

For my best free pick on the board here for Thursday I am looking at the Boston Celtics at the Philadelphia 76ers. Sixers won 2 games in Boston which is amazing but they must have this one in Philadelphia if they want to force a game 7. We saw Embiid gel well with the rest of his team in game 5 and I think we will see the best from the Sixers this Thursday and atleast be able to keep this one within the number. 

Play on the Philadelphia 76ers plus the points rotation #510

Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Denver Nuggets -5.5

Things are falling apart for the Minnesota Timberwolves.  Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo were both knocked out of Game 4 with injuries.  Bones Hyland was playing well in this series, and now he's questionable.  And it just came out that the breakout star for the Timberwolves in this series in Ayo Dosunmu has been downgraded to questionable now with a calf injury.

Things are opening up for the Nuggets now to win this series.  They handled their business in Game 5 with a 125-113 home win as 11.5-point favorites.  This was a bigger blowout than the final score indicated as the game was in hand heading into the 4th quarter with the Nuggets leading by 22.

Even if Hyland and Dosunmu play tonight, the Timberwolves still lack the horses to compete with the Nuggets without Edwards and DiVincenzo.  They managed to shoot 50.6% from the field and 42.9% from 3 in Game 5 and still were non-competitive.  It's unlikely they shoot that well again in Game 6.  Bet the Nuggets Thursday.

Opener: Nuggets -6.5, Total 224.5
Best lines: Nuggets -5.5 (-106), Timberwolves +6.5 (-108)
Best totals: OVER 225.5 (+108), UNDER 225.5 (-102)
Splits on side: 57% of bets, 50% of money on Nuggets
Splits on total: 81% of bets, 79% of money on OVER

This is a classic counterintuitive setup. When the line contradicts raw points-per-game margins, the edge is in trusting the oddsmakers—not the surface stats. That angle delivers at a 1040-735-28 clip long-term.

The Outlaw Line kept this just shy of premium status, but the signal is still clear—this is a strong position aligned with market intelligence, not public perception.

The NHL playoffs remain a high-yield environment for the Grandmaster. The edge sharpens as the market leans into narratives instead of numbers.

My selection is on Minnesota plus the points over Denver at 9:30 pm et on Thursday.

We won with the Nuggets in Game 5 of this series on Monday but I won't hesitate to go the other way and back the Timberwolves as they return home for Game 6 on Thursday. While Minnesota dropped the cash last time out, it's worth noting that it has suffered just one ATS losing streak going back to March 13th. It checks in a profitable 13-8 ATS over its last 21 contests. Meanwhile, Denver has strung together consecutive ATS victories just once since March 14th, that coming during a three-game ATS winning streak from April 10th to 18th. Of course, the first two of those three wins and covers came against Thunder and Spurs teams that were resting players heading into the playoffs. Look for the T'Wolves to take this one down to the wire at the very least. Take Minnesota (8*).

1* Free Pick on Nuggets -5½

All plays are made using sophisticated machine learning models.

I've been in this game long enough to know that playoff basketball has a way of making totals lines feel like they're written in sand, shift one way on paper, then explode the other once the ball tips. Tonight's slate has three Game 6 elimination (or near-elimination) spots, and while the East games are begging for some old-school grind-it-out defense, my money's locked on the Denver Nuggets visiting the Minnesota Timberwolves with the total sitting at 224.5. This series has been the wild card all along, and everything points to another night where the scoreboard lights up like a malfunctioning slot machine.

Take a quick spin through the first five games and you'll see exactly what I mean. We've bounced from a respectable 221 total in the opener to a bonkers 233 in Game 2, then settled into back-to-back snoozers at 209 and 208 before Game 5 went full track meet at 238 points. That's not random noise, that's playoff variance at its finest, with scoring averages hovering right around 109-112 per side and a pace that's been flirting near 100 possessions when these teams decide to run. Minnesota's up 3-2 and playing host, but Denver's staring elimination square in the face on the road. History shows desperation games like this often loosen the reins: guys start hunting shots they might normally pass up, turnovers get forced into transition buckets, and suddenly you're watching a half-court game turn into a track meet. I've seen it too many times to ignore, teams fighting for their season tend to forget the scouting report and just play ball.

Contrast that with the Eastern Conference pair tonight. The Knicks are up 3-2 on the Hawks in a series that's averaged right around 216 combined points across five games, solid, competitive, but nothing screaming fireworks (we've had totals as low as 212 and as "high" as 223, with plenty of defensive stands in between). Same story in Boston-Philly: Celtics lead 3-2, and the last few outings have been downright stingy, 210, 208, even a blowout that still landed at 224 only because one side went nuclear from deep. Those matchups feel built for unders if the favorites tighten up and punch their ticket. Not the Wolves-Nuggets show, though. This one's got too much offensive talent on both ends, too much recent proof of high-output nights, and way too much on the line for either side to mail it in.

I've ridden variance plays like this through enough postseasons to trust my gut here. The line feels a tad low given how this particular rivalry has behaved, and with elimination looming, I expect both benches to empty the clip. That's my best totals look on the board tonight, Nuggets at Minnesota over 224.5. Bet smart, shop the number if you can, and remember: in the playoffs, the only thing more dangerous than a cold streak is ignoring the hot one staring you right in the face. Let's cash this one.

1 Dimer on Oilers vs Ducks under 7 -110

1*

This is a 1% FREE PLAY on the Oilers.

Edmonton delivered a decisive 4-1 victory in Game 5 and with their backs against the wall, I like the Oilers to get the job done in Game 6.

Experience counts in these moments. Leon Draisaitl scored a pair of goals and Evan Bouchard chipped in with three assists in the Game 5 win and I look for them to play a big part in Game 6 as well.

Connor Ingram made 29 saves for the Oilers, while the Ducks' netminders faltered, as Lukas Dostal allowed three goals on nine shots, before being replaced by Ville Husso.

I like EDMONTON to extend to a seventh game and send this one back home!

Good luck, NP
