The Golden State Warriors secured a 121-115 victory over the Orlando Magic, thanks to an outstanding performance by Stephen Curry. Curry scored 56 points, including 12 three-pointers, leading the Warriors to their fifth consecutive win.

- Final Score: Islanders 2, Bruins 1β
Recap:
In a tightly contested matchup, the New York Islanders edged out the Boston Bruins with a 2-1 victory. Goaltender Ilya Sorokin was instrumental, making 38 saves to keep the Bruins at bay. Despite being outshot 39-20, the Islanders capitalized on their opportunities, with goals from Alexander Romanov and Kyle Palmieri. We used our Odds Warehouse Historical NHL Database to read through recent trends on the over/unders, and after doing that we loved what we saw for the Under in this game at +110 odds.

β Loss: Denver Nuggets -4 vs. Milwaukee Bucks
- Final Score: Nuggets 112, Bucks 121β
Recap:
The Denver Nuggets fell short against the Milwaukee Bucks, losing 121-112. Despite a triple-double performance from Nikola JokiΔ, the Nuggets couldn’t overcome the Bucks, who were led by Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 28 points and 19 rebounds. The Bucks’ resilience and home-court advantage proved too much for Denver, resulting in a loss against the spread.
