Jonesing for some Seth shots tonight

Welcome to a new week! We last saw you on a bit of a prop run, and we'd very much like to continue that streak on this fine-looking Monday. The NBA market is a bit too slow to open today in full this morning, which brings our attention back to the ice.

Be in a hurry to bet on Murray

We hope you had a wonderful Thursday night watching both Brayden Point and David Pastrnak deliver us some goals. While there's some merit to striking while the iron is hot on the ice, we'll navigate over to the hardwood to send us into the weekend with some wins.

Welcome to a fresh week here at Bark Bets, and we're ready to start it off right. We'd like to continue highlighting both main sports right now to stay fresh and sharp as playoffs inch closer and closer, so our Monday's best bet will look to a cross-sports parlay for two good-looking angles.

Let's jump into the deep end with Poole
