First Pick: Under 6.5 Goals
Rundown: The Anaheim Ducks (37-27-3) return home from a four-game road trip as they host the Philadelphia Flyers (31-23-12) at Honda Center.
Anaheim enters the contest tied atop the Pacific Division with the Edmonton Oilers with 77 points while Philadelphia comes into sitting eight points back of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Trevor Zegras makes his return to Anaheim for the first time since being traded last summer. In his first game against the Ducks since the deal, he scored two goals in a 5-2 Flyers win back in January. Philadelphia has seen four of the last five matchups fall under the projected goal total.
With two defense playing quality hockey down the stretch, expect this game to feature limited scoring chances.
Second Pick: Los Angeles Lakers Moneyline
Rundown: The Houston Rockets (41-26) host the Los Angeles Lakers (43-25) for the second consecutive game in a high-stakes matchup at Toyota Center.
Los Angeles enters the matchup looking to repeat its success from Monday's victory over Houston while the Rockets look to take the season series with a win tonight. Two high powered Western Conference teams each led by two of the biggest superstars in the NBA. This matchup will provide a playoff feel tonight.
Expect Los Angeles to continue playing quality basketball on both ends of the floor, leading to a road win.
