NHL is Back in Action, PGA Tour heads to Florida

Happy Wednesday betting friends. We’ve hit the end of February, which means tons of basketball, Florida sunshine golf, and coming soon, baseball! And not to bury the lead, but the NHLers are back in action tonight.

While we give out one of our NBA plays for free tonight in the newsletter, our additional NBA plays/props, full Cognizant Classic card, College Basketball and NHL plays are all worth an upgrade at the current $99/year plan as you don’t want to miss weekly NFL and CFB week picks this fall. One $99 price (or $9.99/month) will get you every single newsletter unlocked, all our trends and picks and access to me of course.

Also make sure you listen to the weekly Betting with Bearman podcast. Last week, we had Betting with Bearman OG and Pro Football Network’s Kyle Soppe on to preview the NBA’s second half and the golf action. This week, VSiN host Zach Cohen will join the podcast, which will be out later today.

I am also going to help you in your golf pools with One and Done picks AND access to some awesome golf tools that you can use to help with your pool. Head over to PoolGenius and get Discounts courtesy of Betting with Bearman. We have one of the best non-Majors of the year this week in the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

We are excited about our affiliate deal with our new friends at Betr. Through our partnership, you can sign up now and get $10 free and then a 50% deposit match up to $200 by using the Betting with Bearman sign up link, right here. We are also going to be sending out Betr plays every newsletter and went 3-1 over the weekend!

Today, we are going to give a free one out to start, so here is the Betr play today. We are rolling with two players on Thursday. This is for Round 1. Make sure to check me out on Twitter/X for more daily Betr plays.

Let’s get to the rest!

I’m not overthinking this one. 

One team played last night and was without their star player. The other was off for a second consecutive night and is accustomed to playing at elevation. 

Denver is 7-3 ATS when having 2-3 day off this season and I’m jumped on this number ahead of time while Jaylen Brown’s (knee) status is TBD for this non-conference contest. 

To complicate matters further for the road team is their 29th ranked transition defense. Not ideal when facing the instant offense stylings of Nikola Jokic. 

The home are a known quantity, but what about Christian Braun shooting 56.5% from the field this month or Tim Hardaway Jr filling the Peyton Watson role with 3+ made triples in five of his past seven?

These teams played in early January, a four-point win for the Nuggets in Boston without Jokic in a game in which they were out-rebounded by 14 and trailed for more time than they lead. 

I think this spread is closer to a Brown line and that means I have no issue getting involved before his status is known. If he sits, this number spikes. If not, we lose maybe a point of value and I’m still ok with the position. 

Pick: Nuggets -3.5

Stick around for our more NBA action, a full PGA Tour card, and our favorite NHL play of the night.
