Jonathan Coachman is joined by top sports betting experts Larry Hartstein, Mike Barner, Allie O'Neill and Zack Cimini on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get highlighted plays for the NBA, college basketball and the NHL for Tuesday, March 29, and you can stream the show live every morning on the SportsLine YouTube page.

Coach starts things off with the SportsLine play of the day: Over 217 in the Jazz-Clippers game (10 p.m. ET). "In our simulations, this goes Over an astounding 76 percent of the time," he says.

Coach then gives his own personal pick, from the NBA: Over 223.5 points in the Bulls-Wizards game (7 p.m. ET). "This is a rated-A play, also to back me up, over at SportsLine," he says.

O'Neill's pick comes from the NHL: Under 6 goals (-135) in the Hurricanes-Lightning game (7 p.m. ET). "The Canes defense has been really strong; they've limited opponents to an average of 2.10 goals per game over their last 10 games," she says. She adds, "The Lightning have only scored 2.3 goals per game over their last 10 games, and nine straight Tampa Bay games have gone Under 6."

Barner has one play from the NBA: the Bucks (+105) to beat the 76ers in Philadelphia (7 p.m. ET). "I think this is a statement game for the Bucks after all the headlines the 76ers had after adding [James] Harden," he says. "I think the Bucks want to prove they're the best team in the Eastern Conference."

Cimini has one college basketball pick: Xavier (+1.5) to cover against St. Bonaventure in the semifinals of the NIT (7 p.m. ET). "[The Musketeers already played in NYC twice this year," he says. He adds, "This team has a feel for Madison Square Garden, and I think they're going to be ready to play, even shorthanded."

Hartstein closes out the show with a play from the other NIT semifinal: Texas A&M (-1.5) to cover against Washington State (9:30 p.m. ET). "I think the Aggies cannot be stopped here," he says. "They've won 10 of 11. The loss came when they were playing their fourth game in four days in the SEC title game."
