What a two-year run for UConn. Not only have they now won two straight titles, but they've covered the spread in every single tournament game. That's just an unbelievable run of dominance. Yes, by the way, we did cash Huskies -6.5 last night to end our college hoops season right.

We're back to the pros for Tuesday's looks, touching a bit of everything as we gear up for the full MLB season to come and the playoffs in the NBA and NHL.

Propping up the day with a trio of players

We're opting for three juiced legs across the three major sports, parlayed together at a solid price.

MLB leg: Ty France to record a hit

Seattle's Ty France is fresh off a three-hit night, and the Mariners first baseman is now officially rolling. France has a base knock in seven straight games, averaging 1.4 hits per game on the season.

Now, France has the pleasure of beginning his day against Chris Bassitt on the rubber. In 15 plate appearances against Bassitt, France has a .462 batting average with five singles and a double. We'll gladly back France's hot hitting to continue, especially when we see he has six hits in his past four games against Toronto.

NBA leg: Cade Cunningham over 0.5 steals

Cade Cunningham is rolling on the defensive side of things, nabbing a steal in six straight games and eight of his last nine. He's recored 2+ swipes in three of his last four, and now he's facing a Philadelphia team that turns the ball over at the fifth-highest frequency in the NBA.

Eight straight PGs have notched a steal against the Sixers, including two straight finishing with two. Cunningham had a steal last meeting, we'll happily back him to do it again.

NHL leg: Victor Hedman to record a point

On the ice, one of the clearest spots for goal scoring resides in Tampa Bay, as the Lightning host the lowly Blue Jackets. Columbus is allowing 4.0 goals per game on the road over the last month, and there's a significant power-play edge that favors Tampa scoring some goals.

Hedman just had three points last game and he has eight points in his last six at home. Against Columbus, the Lightning defenseman has a point in seven of the past eight meetings, piling up 10 total points.

Altogether, these three props can be parlayed at +286 on ESPN BET. 


In the news ...

UConn wins National Championship — For the first time since the Florida Gators pulled it off in 2006 and 2007, we have a back-to-back NCAAB champion in the Connecticut Huskies. The game started as a tight, back-and-forth affair, but UConn pulled ahead of Purdue in the second half, winning 75-60. This dominating run squarely puts the Huskies among the all-time great programs, and they're currently sitting at 14-1 to run it back next season. Duke is the favorite at 10-1 with heralded recruit Cooper Flagg set to join the Blue Devils as a freshman.

It's Masters Week — It's officially Masters Week, and we have you covered as you prep your bets, DFS tournaments, and the like. The favorites are Scottie Scheffler (+400), Rory McIlroy (+1000), Jon Rahm (+1100) and Xander Schauffele (+1400). Scheffler is obviously priced as the man to beat, but we'd like to continue looking around the board for some betting value. Yardbarker's golf expert Jack Doughtery dug into the box at Augusta and found us a few outright winner bets of interest, namely Brooks Koepka (20-1), Hideki Matsuyama (25-1) and Wyndham Clark (35-1). Be sure to explore his betting breakdowns as he makes the case for a few from this week's field.

Minnesota Timberwolves get good news on status of Karl-Anthony Towns — Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Karl-Anthony Towns suffered a torn left meniscus in early March and he was immediately ruled out for at least one month, but it seems a return to the court is coming soon. KAT scrimmaged on Sunday with the team, and there is a growing expectation that he will be ready for the start of the playoffs. This is massive news for a Minnesota team that has more than held their own without star big, going 11-5 in his absence. The Timberwolves are currently tied for the best record in the West, yet, you can grab them at +1000 to win the conference.

Quick Picks

1 Detroit Pistons @ Philadelphia 76ers

The Sixers are playing well thanks to the return of Joel Embiid, now winners of five straight games. Philly is well-motivated to keep winning as the Sixers look to avoid the play-in games, and hosting the lowly Pistons is just the ticket. Give us Philadelphia at -15.5.
Tuesday, 7:00 PM Eastern SPREAD MONEY LINE OVER / UNDER
Pistons
+15.5 (-105) +870 > 222.5 (-110)
76ers
-15.5 (-105) -1115 < 222.5 (-116)
2 Denver Nuggets @ Utah Jazz

Let's see. The Jazz have lost 12 straight games, while the Nuggets are pushing to secure the top seed in the Western Conference. These two met just a month ago and Denver won by 21. We'll follow the motivation of the Nuggets and fade the slumping Jazz. We're on Denver -14.5.
Tuesday, 9:00 PM Eastern SPREAD MONEY LINE OVER / UNDER
Nuggets
-14.5 (-115) -1115 > 224.5 (-115)
Jazz
+15.5 (-116) +950 < 224.5 (-112)
3 Logan Allen over 4.5 Ks 

Cleveland's Allen is facing off against a White Sox team that was one of the worst against lefties last year, striking out at the sixth-highest rate in the league. Seven straight LHP to see Chicago has logged 6+ Ks, and here we are needing only five today. Allen fanned six in his last start and struck out five White Sox batters last time he saw them. We'll hop on this over.

Latest Odds:  -160
4 Brayan Bello under 17.5 outs 

This number seems a tad high for Boston's Bello, who has recorded 15 outs in both games this season. Bello is up against the bats of Baltimore, who tend to give arms trouble. Bello is under in two straight meetings with the Orioles, so we'll fade him here again.

Latest Odds:  -130
5 Washington Capitals @ Detroit Red Wings

Both teams are fighting for one of the last available playoff seats in the East, and we're going to have to roll with the home team here. The Red Wings have won four of their last five at home, and Washington has been much looser defensively on the road of late. We're backing Detroit moneyline at -135.
Tuesday, 7:00 PM Eastern SPREAD MONEY LINE OVER / UNDER
Capitals
+1.5 (-189) +135 > 5.5 (-138)
Red Wings
-1 (+108) -150 < 5.5 (-141)
6 Columbus Blue Jackets @ Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa Bay is finding its groove at just the right time, and we'll gladly back it to continue against a Columbus team that has dropped eight of its last 11 games. The Lightning have won nine of the last 11 meetings with the Blue Jackets, with eight of those wins coming by 2+ goals. Hop on Tampa Bay -1.5 tonight.
Tuesday, 7:00 PM Eastern SPREAD MONEY LINE OVER / UNDER
Blue Jackets
+2.5 (-140) +280 > 6.5 (-124)
Lightning
-1.5 (-127) -335 < 6.5 (+110)
