NBA AWARDS EDITION

ASK THE TRADER⛳

After torching the 76ers for 25/17/14, Nikola Jokic is the favorite to win his third straight MVP award.

With NBA award races late in the fourth quarter, we asked trading content manager Michael Veneziano for his latest insights on MVP and Sixth Man of the Year.

MVP odds yesterday: Embiid -160, Jokic +200, Giannis +450
MVP odds now: Jokic +100, Embiid +120, Giannis +400

The Trader: “Embiid missed an opportunity to separate himself after sitting out against Jokic and the Nuggets, but the Sixers big man can still make a big statement versus Milwaukee (April 2) and Boston (April 4).”

6MOY odds yesterday: Immanuel Quickley -135, Malcolm Brogdon +100
6MOY odds now: Quickley -240, Brogdon +150

The Trader: “I think IQ is very close to sewing this up. He has meant more to the Knicks’ success than Brogdon has for the Celtics.”

EXPERT PICKS

Prop Queen Ariel Epstein has juicy MLB longshots. Incoming Hustle editor Max Meyer's job is riding on these picks.

THE PROP QUEEN

To Make the Playoffs -- Orioles (+350)
“The AL East has some scary bats, but the O’s have the arms to tame them. And infielder Gunnar Henderson, the +300 favorite for AL ROY, has tremendous talent.”
To Win the World Series -- Padres (+900)
“How do you slow down a lineup with Manny Machado, Juan Soto, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Xander Bogaerts? How do you score enough off Yu Darvish, Joe Musgrove, Blake Snell and a nasty bullpen?”

THE INCOMING EDITOR

North Texas -1.5 vs. Wisconsin (-110) [Las Vegas, 7 p.m. ET]
“How about C-USA? FAU is in the Final Four, Charlotte won the CBI, and North Texas and UAB are both favored in the NIT semis. Since Feb. 1, Tylor Perry and the Mean Green rank 27th nationally in offensive efficiency and 19th in defensive efficiency.”
UAB/Utah Valley under 151.5 (-110) [Las Vegas, 9:30 p.m. ET]
“The spread has moved from UAB -2 to -4, but I have my eye on this under. While both teams play at a pretty fast pace, they have been strong on defense down the stretch (Utah Valley 11th in defensive efficiency since Feb. 1, UAB 33rd).”

FINAL FOUR EDITION

MAKE THE CASE‍⚖️

PointsBet Creative

  • UConn (-125): The Huskies have barely broken a sweat, winning every game by 15+ points. With their elite offense and defense, they seem unbeatable.
  • San Diego State (+375): Does defense win championships? The Aztecs (57.3 ppg allowed in four wins) can shut down anyone.
  • Miami (+475): The resilient Hurricanes never get downgraded to a tropical depression ⛈️; they were +1050 on the moneyline when down 13 against Texas. They’ve scored 85+ in three straight games.
  • FAU (+600): The Owls’ 35 victories are two more than any other team. They’re also the deepest squad remaining with nine quality players.
MLB EDITION

MAKE THE CASE‍⚖️

Will the Mets torture their fans ... again? (AP Photo)

With Opening Day a mere two days away, which teams will play in October?

  • Brewers ✅ (+100): Milwaukee returns an ocean-deep rotation, led by 2021 Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes.
  • Rays ❌ (+140): A quality team expected to win nearly 90 games, but the lineup is meh and the AL East is brutal.
  • Guardians ✅ (-150): The AL Central faves added pop with 1B Josh Bell.
  • Mets ❌ (+350): With closer Edwin Diaz (knee) going down, maybe this won’t be the Best Team Money Can Buy.

WHO’S GOT NEXT?

PointsBet Creative

If Lamar Jackson does not return to Baltimore, where will he go?

NOTE: These can be wagered on in three of our states: CO, IL and MD.

  • Colts +225: Indy can’t afford to waste another year of Jonathan Taylor’s prime, and its QB room looks like a scene from “The Last of Us.
  • Patriots +450: Bill Belichick came this close to replacing Mac Jones with Bailey Zappe, so he’d drop Mac for Lamar in a heartbeat.
  • Falcons +600: Surely the Falcons are sick of wallowing in mediocrity, right?
  • Lions +650: Detroit has a ton of young talent to package in a trade, and Jared Goff’s stock might never be higher.
  • Buccaneers +800: The Bucs are ready to move on after getting dumped by Tom Brady; Jackson would be quite the rebound.
  • Jets +900: If they go to a dark place in the Aaron Rodgers trade …
  • Panthers +1000: Having the No. 1 draft pick is the ultimate trump card ♠️ in trade talks.
  • Commanders +1000: What better way to stick it to your local rivals than by swiping their franchise QB?
  • Titans +1000: Name a more unstoppable rushing duo than Jackson and Derrick Henry. We’ll wait.
  • Packers +1000: Jordan Love is a good trade chip. And, hey, Jackson is accustomed to playing without any receivers.
  • Dolphins +1000: Tough to trust Tua to stay healthy after last year, plus surrounding Lamar with all those weapons would be insane.
  • 49ers +1500: They have quarterbacks to spare after making it to the NFC title game with Brock freaking Purdy.‍♂️
PRICE IS RIGHT

To Win the Masters – Cameron Smith +1800

  • His “masterful” short game fits Augusta National like a glove. The Australian has placed top 10 in four of the last five Masters. The reigning Open champion cannot be ignored at these odds, so why not LIV a little?
