LAST NIGHT: 2-0 (+21.6 units)
FEBRUARY: 4-2 (+19.6 units)
ALL TIME: 4-2 (+19.6 units)

RECAP: Welcome back to the world of positive units. I hope all the readers I may have lost the other day, trust me enough to return after yesterdays domination. Both games provided small scares throughout, but my confidence in both teams never wavered. The Caps game went smoothly except for a short period of time that it was 3-3 in the third period. It was obvious however that the Caps would be able to continue dominating and ended up putting in 3 more goals before the end of the game. Final score 6-3. Great job Caps. Great job Brandon. Despite Harden having 9 turnovers and the Rockets trailing by 6 at half, they were still able to pull it out against a Hornets team that can't find a way to win as of late. Final score 107-95. Moving on to today's picks.

Tampa Bay Lightning at Minnesota Wild -1.5
7pm central
(10 units wagered, 18 units won)

This is a value pick. We are betting on a team you can make an argument for as the best team in hockey. They have offense from young guns like Charlie Coyle, and vets like Eric Staal. On top of that they are letting up 2.32 goals per game. That is 2nd best in the NHL. That number drops to 2.08 when playing at home. Tampa Bay on the other hand ranks 22nd in that category. On top of all this Tampa has been a terrible team on the road all year with an abysmal 10-14-4 record. Minnesota is 17-6-1 at home. Now it's never a sure thing when you need to win by two goals in the NHL, but I will take my chances given the match up in front of me and the odds given.

Indiana Pacers at Washington Wizards -5
7pm central
(11 units wagered, 10 units won)

If you recall the other day, I made a pick on this same Wizards team against the Brooklyn Nets. I made this pick after Washington came off a heartbreaking loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. That bet didn't go as expected and the Wizards let us all down. That being said prior to playing Cleveland, they had won 17 straight games at home. 17 straight games! The Indiana Pacers sit at 6th in the East with a decent record of 29-23. However, they are 9-16 on the road. I fully expect John Wall, Bradley Beal, and the Washington Wizards to take care of business on their home floor, and start a new home winning streak.
