Tonight’s Action

Pacers at Wizards 

Watch: 8 p.m. ET, TNT

Odds: Wizards -3.5  || O/U 237

Pick: It’s tough to go up against Russell Westbrook in a big game, so Sports Section likes Washington laying the points and the under.

Who ya got? Reply to this newsletter with your prediction of the Pacers-Wizards winner, the final score, and Westbrook’s points total. Nail it, and you get a mention in the next edition of Sports Section. Don’t forget to include your Twitter handle. 

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner of Jets-Oilers, the final score, and the first goal-scorer. Winnipeg won 4-1, with Edmonton’s Jesse Puljujarvi notching the first goal.

Much like Sports Section, no subscriber predicted the Jets to prevail. Here’s to better betting!

Keep the picks coming, everyone!
