Next-Level Thermal Technology

NBA Players are increasingly using the Hyperice Venom Back and Knee courtside during the game.

As the Official Recovery Technology Partner of the NBA, Hyperice is continuing to advance the game. The Venom series uses a combination of heat and vibration technology to warm, loosen, and relax stiff and painful muscles and joints. It is popular with NBA players and is frequently spotted being used on the bench in between plays and during warm up.

“Our partnership with Hyperice furthers our commitment to optimizing player performance and recovery through innovative technology,” said Dan Rossomondo, NBA Senior Vice President, Media and Business Development.

Tonight’s Action

Indiana Pacers at Boston Celtics

Watch: 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN

Odds: Celtics -2.5 || O/U 218.5

Pick: Both teams are trying to keep pace in the ultra-competitive Eastern Conference. The Celtics (15-17) have entered a mini-tailspin, dropping three in a row, and the Pacers (15-15) are only 4-6 over their last 10.

We like the Celtics to rely on their staunch defense and snap their skid. It’s a Friday night home game. Lay the points and bet the under.

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner, score, and leading scorer of Iowa-Michigan. The Wolverines blasted the Hawkeyes 79-57 behind Franz Wagner’s game-high 21. We certainly hope you took Sports Section’s advice on Michigan -4.5 and under 155.

Several subscribers had Michigan (no one chose Wagner), with David Nagelberg (@SportsGuruDave) closest to the final score, predicting 79-68.
