️♂️ LET’S GET READY TO RAHM-BLE: An eventful front nine indeed
EXPERT PICKS: Kaz and Max take their talents to the hardwood
OUTRAGEOUS OFFER: Get your fix with Bonus Bet No. 6!
⚾ WEEK IN REVIEW: Which players saw their award odds improve?
Before teeing off, Jon Rahm racked up the third-most handle (6.9%) to take home the Green Jacket. Hopefully those clients didn’t rip up their electronic tickets after he four-putted the first hole.
Rahm is now the +260 favorite after finishing up Round 1, and he’s tied with Viktor Hovland (+900) on the leaderboard at -7.
EXPERT PICKS
There are five NBA games on tap tonight. NBA expert Kazeem 'Kaz' Famuyide and senior editor Max Meyer are shooting for 3 here.
THE NBA HOST
SGP (+105): Magic ML (-425) vs. Cavaliers & Paolo Banchero 20+ points (-135) [8 p.m. ET]
"I really like Banchero and the Magic to roll against a team with nothing to play for. He's reached 20 in three of his past four games."
Jazz +7 (-110) vs. Thunder [9 p.m. ET]
"I expect Utah's role players to shine at home with a shot at the play-in tourney on the line."
THE SENIOR EDITOR
Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander OVER 33.5 points (-115)
"SGA has dropped 38 and 39 in two games against the Jazz this season, and that was with feared rim protector Walker Kessler on the floor. The Thunder superstar should have his way with Kessler out."

To take advantage of today’s Bonus Bet, here’s an NBA SGP (+650) we like for Heat-76ers (7:30 p.m. ET).
Heat +3 (-110): Miami needs wins to escape the play-in tournament, while the 76ers are fairly entrenched as a No. 3 seed in the East. Motivation edge: Heat.
Under 219.5 (-110): Trends love the under on both sides as it hit in four of Miami’s last five road contests, and it cashed at the same rate in Philly’s last five at home.
James Harden Over 10.5 assists (+100): Harden reached double-digit assists in seven of his last eight matchups and is dishing out 10.8 per game.
Scheffler drew the most handle and second-most tickets to win the 2023 Masters.
Here were the biggest Masters bets placed at PointsBet ahead of the tournament’s start.
⛳ $5,000 on Cam Young (+3000): Ace ball-striker opened birdie-birdie-birdie and nearly spun back an eagle on No. 7.
⛳ $5,000 on Gordon Sargent top-20 (+600): The clean-cut Vanderbilt sophomore keeps getting mistaken for a “Drive, Chip and Putt” competitor. He started birdie-bogey-triple.
⛳ $3,000 on Scottie Scheffler (+700): Vying become the first to repeat since Tiger (2001-02).
⛳ $2,500 on Jon Rahm (+850): Kevin Na would have left the property after 4-putting No. 1. Rahm flipped the switch and vaulted onto the leaderboard.
⛳ $2,000 on Scottie Scheffler (+650): If he wins, his biggest challenge might be to place the Green Jacket on himself.
⛳ $1,800 Thomas Pieters (-115) H2H vs. Kurt Kitayama: Two B-listers with the talent to impact the majors. Pieters opened with 2-over 74; Kitayama was 2-over for most of the back 9.
⛳ $1,714.29 on Sungjae Im (+3500): No question he’s got the game. The bigger question: Why this amount?
Tiger Woods' streak of making 22 straight Masters cuts is in jeopardy.
Tiger Woods entered the Masters at +8000, tied for his longest closing odds of any major (2022 PGA Championship).
Now you can multiply those by almost 10. Woods is available at 700/1 (+70000) after his rough 5-bogey, 3-birdie performance️♂️ Thursday. He is now -105 to make the cut after opening at -190.
The biggest Tiger wager to pick up a record-tying sixth Green Jacket? One NJ client wagered $500 on him at +8000 last night.
Intriguing new rules and superstar performances have keyed a thrilling opening week in MLB. Let’s examine players who have helped their odds in awards races.
Dylan Cease – AL Cy Young +900 ➡️ +600: Chicago’s flamethrower has fanned 18 batters over his first two starts after finishing runner-up for Cy Young last season.
Adley Rutschman – AL MVP +3000 ➡️ +2200: The O’s catcher homered in his first at-bat on his way to a 5-for-5 Opening Day.
Randy Arozarena – AL MVP +10000 ➡️ +4000: The Rays have won all six games by 4+ runs, and their outfielder has posted a .462 OBP.
Ronald Acuna Jr. – NL MVP +1000 ➡️ +700: Atlanta’s leadoff man is healthy again and has four games with multiple hits.
Oneil Cruz – NL MVP +10000 ➡️ +5000: A legit reason to watch the Pirates☠️. Their shortstop hits missiles and has a cannon.
