Orlando
Cleveland (+115)
Orlando still has incredibly poor spacing for a playoff team, and the Cavaliers remain effective at bottling up the Magic's drives. Cleveland boasts a far superior two-way formula, with perimeter players that not only force opponents to guard them, but can win the game with their shooting and playmaking, and bigs that have proven more than capable of going toe to toe with Orlando’s.

NY Islanders
One of those feisty veterans is winger Kyle Palmieri. He put up 54 points (30 goals) in the regular season and has two points in this series. He’s been aggressive with the puck as well with two, four, and three shots on goal through Games 1-3. Dating back to the regular season, Palmieri has gone Over 2.5 Shots on Goal in six of his last seven and 11 of his last 15 games. He’s racked up 50 shots on goal in that span (3.33 per game). Palmieri has also tended to shoot more at home as of late. He’s had 3+ SOG in three straight home games and 10 of his last 12.

u6 (-117)
Not only are both goaltenders playing well, but both teams are doing a good job of preventing high-danger scoring chances in the playoffs. Among the 16 playoff teams, Dallas ranks fifth in expected goals against per 60 minutes (xGA/60) while Vegas ranks ninth in the same category. Meanwhile, both teams rank eighth or lower in expected goals for per 60 minutes (xGF/60). These two teams rely on depth and two-way play for success, so it is not surprising that there have been five or fewer total goals scored in 16 of the past 22 meetings. Both teams know that the Stars are in a must-win spot in this outing, so I expect a tight-checking affair with limited mistakes but conservative play in what essentially feels like an elimination game.

Free Picks FAQs

Covers provides free picks covering the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, CFL, WNBA, college sports, and more. We make picks on many markets, including point spreads, totals, moneylines, player props, and more.
While no bet is guaranteed, some are considered more predictable. Moneyline bets on favorites and 'over/under' bets, based on detailed knowledge of the teams or players, can be seen as more predictable. However, unpredictability is innate to betting and these bet types can still lose. Thorough research and responsible betting practices are always important.
