Today's top picks: Why Virginia will cover vs. Ohio and more college basketball, NBA and NHL expert bets for Saturday, March 20

Jonathan Coachman is joined by expert sports bettors Mike McClure and Zack Cimini on the Early Edge podcast. They give you their best bets for the NBA, college basketball and the NHL for Saturday, March 20.

Coach starts things off with the SportsLine Play of the Day, and it comes in the NHL: the Flyers (+120) to beat the Islanders (7 p.m. ET start). "The Flyers already are 3-0 this season against the Islanders, and now in Game 4 you're going to give me plus money?" he says. "I'm going to take that all day long."

McClure's three-pack of picks all comes in the NCAA Tournament. The first is Virginia (-7) against Ohio (7:15 p.m. ET). "This game reminds me of that Winthrop-Villanova game last night where one team is just obviously the better team," McClure says.

He also likes Oklahoma (-1) against Missouri (7:25 p.m. ET). "I think that [the Sooners] have played a little better schedule," McClure says. "I think their play in the Big 12 has equipped them well for this matchup against Missouri."

McClure concludes his picks with UCLA (+4) against BYU (9:40 p.m. ET). "My simulations make this game essentially a pick 'em; it's less than a point," he says. "So I like it quite a bit."

Cimini starts his picks with two NBA player props, taking two big men from the Hawks in their game against the Lakers (3:30 p.m. ET): John Collins Over 24.5 total points and rebounds and Clint Capela Over 25.5 total points and rebounds. "Collins actually had a really good game earlier this year against the Lakers, and that was against Anthony Davis," Cimini says. "He put up 22 points and seven rebounds. Obviously with the small ball lineup of the Lakers he's going to be able to have another good game." Cimini believes Capela can also take advantage of L.A.'s small lineup. "I think he can get some easy alley-oops and transition baskets," he says.

Cimini concludes his picks with the 76ers (-7) against the Kings (8 p.m. ET). "I am not buying the Kings' recent two-game win streak over the Celtics and Wizards, especially in a back-to-back scenario tonight," he says. "This is their fifth straight road game."
