"Leaky Oilers" -- Pointspreads' Daily Betting Notes: Wednesday, Mar. 3rd

Stat of the Day:  Indiana Pacers have lost four straight games yet inexplicably are laying -6 tonight vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, who have WON and COVERED in four straight.

Fans and gamblers alike have an attractive card to examine on Wednesday.  

Major League Baseball is underway in the daytime (exhibition games), though the new rules imposed for health and safety reasons have made handicapping next to impossible.  We'll see how this plays out through opening day, on April 1st.

Six games are scheduled in the NHL, including the third game of the series between Toronto and Edmondton.  So far, the Maple Leads have absolutely dominated their division foe, by outscoring the punchless Oilers 7-0 in two games.  If Edmonton wants to be taken seriously as a threat in the North Division, they'll need to show they can compete (or at least score a goal) versus the likes of Toronto, currently breezing along in first place.  

The NBA features nine games.  However, COVID protocols have taken a toll on schedule-makers this week.  The Raptors two previous games have been postponed, including last night's contest.  However many games will certainly tip off – with all of these matchups taking place this evening.

Note the BET OF THE DAY is on a 3-0 run and in the last month has gone a red hot 16-7 in free daily selections.

Here are the latest odds at SPREADS.CA, along with some notable angles and trends to keep in mind when making your bets on the action:
