The next four days are loaded. The NHL has an 11-game slate tonight, college basketball is in its first week, and the NBA heads into the second Friday of NBA Cup group play. FanDuel is giving new users $200 in bonus bets by betting $5 a day for four days, with no promo code required.
The NBA takes Election Day off, so hockey owns Tuesday night. The best game on the board is Edmonton at New Jersey at 7:30 p.m. ET. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl run into Connor Hellebuyck, who has been excellent since arriving in New Jersey at 2-0-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Edmonton counters with Tristan Jarry, who has two shutouts but a .901 save percentage.
That goaltending gap is why the Devils are favored at home. Edmonton at plus money, with the best one-two punch in hockey, is the kind of number that gets underdog bettors interested. The Devils won the last meeting 2-1, and the under is juiced at -125.
Odds are subject to change
Elsewhere, the defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes visit Nashville, and Nikita Kucherov’s Lightning host Detroit.
College basketball tipped off Monday, and the first week is when the market knows the least. Rosters have been reshaped by the transfer portal, freshmen are playing their first real minutes, and lines are set more on projections than results. Your daily $5 bet doesn’t need to be on a marquee game. Some of the best value in November comes from teams the public hasn’t watched yet.
The NBA is back Wednesday, and Friday brings the second night of NBA Cup group play. Every one of these games counts toward the regular-season standings and the race for a knockout spot:
Philadelphia at Cleveland is the headliner, with LeBron James back in Cleveland for a reunion game in the toughest group in the East.
