Bell starts things off with the SportsLine play of the day: the Suns (-6) to cover against the Magic (7 p.m. ET). "The Suns are 62 percent against the spread on the road," he says.

Cimini has two college basketball plays. The first is Wright State (+2) to cover against Northern Kentucky in the Horizon League championship game (7 p.m. ET). "[The Norse] have been sluggish offensively to me," he says.

He also likes Delaware (-2) to cover against UNC-Wilmington in the CAA title game (7 p.m. ET). "They do not look like a 12-loss team," he says. "They look like [an NCAA] tournament team." he says.

O'Neill's play comes from the NHL: Under 5.5 goals in the Stars-Predators game (8 p.m. ET). "[This play] has hit in 12 straight games that the Predators have played in Nashville," she says.

Barner has two player props from the same NBA game. The first is Kevin Durant to score Over 29.5 points (-105) against the Hornets (7 p.m. ET). "He has scored at least 31 points in both games [since returning from injury]," he says.

He also likes Terry Rozier to score Over 20.5 points (-125). "Over the last nine games, he has scored at least 23 points seven times," he says.

Hartstein closes out the show with a college basketball play: Clemson (-5.5) to cover against NC State in the ACC Tournament (4:30 p.m. ET). "[NC State] is in total freefall," he says.
