Today's picks: Why the Celtics will cover against the Heat and more NBA, college basketball, soccer and NHL best bets and picks for Wednesday

Jonathan Coachman is joined by top sports betting experts Larry Hartstein, Mike McClure and Zack Cimini on the Early Edge podcast, powered by SportsLine. Get highlighted plays for the NBA, college basketball, soccer and the NHL for Wednesday, March 30, and you can stream the show live every morning on the SportsLine YouTube page.

Coach starts things off with his own play, from the NBA: the Thunder (+12.5) to cover against the Hawks (8 p.m. ET). "I think [the Thunder] are playing hard," he says. "I think that Atlanta can't play defense."

Coach also has two SportsLine plays of the day. The first comes from soccer: Both Teams To Score (+122) in the World Cup qualifier between the United States and Costa Rica (9:05 p.m. ET). 

The second pick comes from the NBA: the Hornets (-2) to cover against the Knicks (7:30 p.m. ET). "Charlotte is 64 percent against-the-spread after a day off, 75 against-the-spread as a road favorite," he says.

Cimini's lone play comes from the championship game of The Basketball Classic on Thursday night: Fresno State (-3) to cover against Coastal Carolina (7 p.m. ET). "[The Bulldogs] are by far the better team," he says. "If you look at Coastal Carolina, they showed me a vulnerability in both of their last wins in this tournament."

McClure's lone play comes from the NHL: the Oilers (-125) to win in regulation over the Kings in Edmonton (9:30 p.m. ET). "[The Kings] have not traveled outside of Vegas or the state of California in three weeks," he says. He adds, "I make [the Oilers] the second best power play unit in the NHL; the Kings are not good on the penalty kill."

Hartstein closes out the show with a pick from the biggest NBA game of the night: the Celtics (-4.5) to cover against the Heat (7:30 p.m. ET). "Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford -- those guys didn't play Monday night, and the Celtics almost won outright in Toronto as big-time eight-point dogs," he says. "So they're not just a team of stars."
