NHL anytime goal picks Oct. 30: Back David Pastrnak and Seth Jarvis on Thursday

David Pastrnak and Seth Jarvis headline Thursday’s NHL goal picks.

The pregame narrative: Pastrnak’s Boston Bruins sit at the bottom of the Atlantic Division through 12 games, but they have a winnable matchup against the Buffalo Sabres. Jarvis, meanwhile, looks to stay hot as the Carolina Hurricanes host the New York Islanders.

NHL anytime goal picks

Best Bet: Jarvis to score (+125)

The biggest knock on Carolina last year was its lack of a bona fide No. 1 goalscorer.

It sure looks like Jarvis, entering his fifth season, could be that guy. The 23-year-old has seven goals through nine games, good for a torrid 64-goal pace.

Jarvis scored 32 goals in 73 games last season, so expecting him to double that mark would be aggressive. But can he net 40 or 45? Absolutely — and I want to ride the hot hand.

-> Bet on Jarvis and the Hurricanes tonight!

The centre leads Carolina in shots (33), scoring chances (35), high-danger chances (20) and xG (5.07), according to Natural Stat Trick.

New York is giving up the most xG (3.88) and high-danger chances (15.41) on a 60-minute basis.

This is a dream matchup for Jarvis, who is playing first-line minutes against an awful squad.

Key stat: Jarvis scored two goals in his last game against the Islanders.

NHL predictions

Pastrnak to score 1+ goals (+106): Thursday’s matchup between the Sabres and Bruins should feature plenty of goals.

Both teams give up boatloads of chances and have poor goaltending. Buffalo cedes the most shot attempts (66.82) on a 60-minute basis.

-> Join NorthStar Bets to bet on Pastrnak now

Pastrnak has been productive so far with six goals and 16 points in 12 games.

He leads Boston in basically every major offensive category, and his 93 shot attempts are 39 more than the next closest player (Viktor Arvidsson).

NHL anytime goal picks Oct. 27: Back David Pastrnak and Evgeni Malkin on Monday

The NHL supplies two games for Monday’s sports equinox, and I’ve got one goalscorer pick from each of them.

The pregame narrative: David Pastrnak’s Boston Bruins are struggling, but have a winnable game tonight against the Ottawa Senators. I’m backing Pastrnak to score, and also expect Evgeni Malkin to continue his sizzling start to the season.

NHL anytime goal picks

Best Bet: Malkin to score (+220)

Malkin has turned back the clock through the early goings of his 20th season, logging two goals and 12 assists through nine games.

His Penguins currently sit second in the Metropolitan Division at 6-2-1 with the seventh-best offence (3.56 goals per game) in hockey.

No one saw that coming, and Malkin and Pittsburgh will likely regress soon. But I doubt it will happen on Monday.

-> Bet on Malkin and the Penguins tonight!

The St. Louis Blues, Pittsburgh’s opponent, have been getting demolished through eight games thanks to some atrocious goaltending:

31st in GAA (4.13)
32nd in team SV% (.850)

Joel Hofer is in the net tonight, and he’s been a big part of the problem. Jordan Binnington’s understudy has allowed 12 goals on 57 shots — netting out to a nasty 6.23 GAA and .789 SV%.

Key stat: Most of Malkin’s production has been as a passer, but he still ranks fifth on the team in xG (2.88) and fourth in shot attempts (33), per Natural Stat Trick.

NHL predictions

Pastrnak to score 1+ goals (+130): Boston snapped its six-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night.

Pastrnak supplied an assist in that contest and now has eight points and four goals in his last six games. The Czech winger is doing everything he can to drive the bus, even if the team as a whole isn’t producing.

-> Join NorthStar Bets to bet on Pastrnak now

Luckily for Boston, it gets another struggling team in Ottawa.

The Senators are missing their captain, Brady Tkachuk, and are 4-4-1 with a 3.89 GAA (29th in the NHL).

Leevi Merilainen is in goal for Ottawa. The netminder gave up seven goals to the lowly Buffalo Sabres in his only other start.

Pastrnak leads the Bruins in xG (3.57) and has more than double the shot attempts (83) than the second-closest player, Viktor Arvidsson (41).

Raptors vs. Spurs SGP predictions Oct. 27: Bet on Wembanyama, Castle in +300 same-game parlay

The Toronto Raptors conclude their Texas road trip on Monday against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs.

The pregame narrative: Wembanyama’s monster start to the season has the Spurs unbeaten through three games. San Antonio is favoured to win as Toronto looks to snap a two-game losing streak after falling in Dallas on Sunday.

Check out my Raptors vs. Spurs SGP predictions for Oct. 27, featuring Wembanyama and Stephon Castle.

-> Join NorthStar Bets to start betting on the NBA

Raptors vs. Spurs predictions

Parlay: Raptors +10.5 | Wembanyama 2+ threes | Castle over 14.5 points (+300)

Raptors +10.5 (-325): I want to start this parlay out by backing the Raptors to cover as underdogs, which they did plenty of last season.

Toronto was 39-29-1 as a dog last season. That was the fourth-best mark in the NBA (excluding OKC, which was only an underdog three times).

The Raptors are 1-0-0 ATS as an underdog so far, and have covered a +10.5 spread in all three of their games.

Buying six points on the standard +4.5 line seems pretty safe to me. San Antonio is off to a perfect start, but has faced three non-playoff teams from 2024-25.

-> Bet on Raptors futures at NorthStar Bets

It has only covered a -10.5 spread once — on opening night against the shorthanded Dallas Mavericks.

Wembanyama is matchup-proof and should feast tonight, but Toronto is the much deeper team here. Look for the Raptors to pick up ground during the bench minutes.

Embed: #120148

NBA SGP legs

Wembanyama 2+ threes (-149): Wembanyama has come out of the gates in MVP form. He’s averaging 33.3 points, 13.3 rebounds and 6.0 blocks through three games.

The 7-foot-4 centre only attempted five 3s through his first three games, but kicked things into high gear by going 3-for-6 from beyond the arc last night.

-> Bet on Wembanyama to win NBA MVP

That was more on brand with the type of basketball we saw Wembanyama play last season. In 2024-25, he averaged 3.1 threes on 8.8 attempts per game (35.2%).

Toronto has a good perimeter defence, but Wembanyama’s jumper is unguardable thanks to his length. This will simply come down to the type of 3-point shot volume we’ll see, and I’m betting it will be high.

Castle 15+ points (-162): Castle won Rookie of the Year honours last season thanks to a strong second half. He averaged 17.8 PPG on 43.9% shooting in 30 games following the all-star break.

The point guard wasn’t efficient by any means, but also didn’t have the luxury of floor spacing with Wembanyama sidelined.

Now, Castle has much more room to operate and is playing well as San Antonio’s No. 2.

17.0 PPG
52.9 FG%
30.7 MPG

Toronto has gotten torched by point guards so far, giving up 30.85 PPG to the position through three games, according to Fantasy Pros.

I like Castle’s chances of reaching this teased-down milestone.

Commanders vs. Chiefs Week 8 Monday Night Football picks: Bet on Kansas City to cover, Pacheco to rumble

The Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders wrap up NFL Week 8 at Arrowhead Stadium.

The pregame narrative: Kansas City enters this primetime contest as Super Bowl favourites after a strong run of form. The Chiefs, unsurprisingly, are laying 12 points against the Jayden Daniels-less Commanders.

Check out my Commanders vs. Chiefs picks for Oct. 27, featuring a prop bet on Isiah Pacheco.

Commanders vs. Chiefs picks

Embed: #120139

Best Bet: Chiefs -11 (-110)

Remember when people were calling curtains on the Chiefs’ dynasty after two games? That feels like a lifetime ago.

Kansas City has won four of their last five games with a +71 point differential

During that stretch, the Chiefs rank second in offensive EPA per play and fifth in defensive EPA per play, per RBSDM.com.

Patrick Mahomes has accounted for 14 touchdowns (12 passing, two rushing) and just two turnovers from Week 3 onward.

And it’s not unreasonable to think they’re just getting going with Rashee Rice, KC’s best offensive playmaker, back in the mix. That’s a tough pill for many fans of AFC teams to swallow.

-> Bet on Mahomes against the Commanders

Washington would probably make this game interesting if Daniels were playing, but he’s not. Instead, the Commanders are turning to Marcus Mariota, who looked shaky in relief of Daniels against the Dallas Cowboys.

I expect KC to put up a bunch of points against Washington’s 21st-ranked scoring defence, and can’t see Mariota keeping pace.

Key stat: The Chiefs have covered this number in all four of their wins.

Monday Night Football prop pick

Pacheco over 47.5 rushing yards (-118): If this game goes as I suspect it will, Pacheco should have plenty of opportunities to rumble.

The fourth-year back had a really poor start to the season, but is starting to show signs of life.

Week 6: 12 rushes for 51 yards (4.3 YPC)
Week 7: 15 rushes for 57 yards (3.8 YPC)

The efficiency is still lacking, but Pacheco has out-touched veteran Kareem Hunt — who is averaging 3.9 YPC himself — by 17 in the last two weeks.

-> Don’t miss out — Back Pacheco on Monday Night Football!

Pacheco’s 15 carries in Week 7 marked the most he’s logged since returning from a leg injury last year. Washington’s defence ranks 20th in EPA per rush and 19th in opponent yards per carry, which shapes up nicely for the RB.

Commanders vs. Chiefs Week 8 MNF TD picks: Bet on Patrick Mahomes and Rashee Rice to score

NFL Week 8 concludes at Arrowhead Stadium in what should be a lopsided matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders.

The pregame narrative: Washington is a 13-point underdog on Monday Night Football without its star quarterback, Jayden Daniels. Kansas City has decisively won four of its last five games and is now favoured to win the Super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes topping the MVP odds board.

Check out our top Commanders vs. Chiefs MNF TD picks, featuring Mahomes and Rashee Rice.

Commanders vs. Chiefs TD picks: Week 8

Embed: #120138

Best bet: Rice to score a TD (-112)

The Chiefs are rolling, and just got that much scarier with their top wideout back in the mix.

Returning from a six-game suspension, Rice caught seven of 10 targets for two TDs against the Las Vegas Raiders last week. No other player had more than five targets in a 31-0 blowout win.

Kansas City has now won four of its last five games, averaging 29.6 PPG with a +71 point differential.

The offence is firing on all cylinders, and Rice received the lion’s share of looks in his first game back from injury.

-> Bet on Rashee Rice to shine on Monday Night Football

Rice has always commanded a high target share in Kansas City’s offence, so there’s good reason to believe that will happen again.

Rice only played three games in 2024 due to an LCL injury, but had 29 targets, 288 yards and two scores.

In his rookie season, he led KC in receiving TDs (seven) and was second to only Travis Kelce in receptions (79), targets (102) and yards (938).

Key stat: Rice had four red-zone targets in Week 7.

Monday Night Football TD picks

Mahomes to score a TD (+275): Mahomes will probably want to keep his uniform clean tonight, especially if the Chiefs are running away with the ballgame.

But I can’t pass on these odds, given how often he has called his own number through seven games.

-> Bet on Patrick Mahomes to win MVP at NorthStar Bets

The veteran QB has 42 rushing attempts for 250 yards and four TDs so far. For reference, Josh Allen has 49 rushes for 261 yards and five TDs.

Mahomes is a big body who seems to be magically elusive whenever he tucks and runs. The Commanders’ defence isn’t great, so I expect plenty of trips to the red zone.

Look for Mahomes to find the end zone at some point.

Best NBA prop bets Oct. 27: Back VJ Edgecombe and Trey Murphy

Monday’s 11-game NBA slate is ripe with prop betting opportunities.

The latest: VJ Edgecombe has gotten plenty of run in his first two games with the Philadelphia 76ers, and is a good bet to stuff the stat sheet tonight. Elsewhere, look for Trey Murphy III to do damage against the struggling Boston Celtics.

Check out the best NBA prop bets for Oct. 27.

-> Join NorthStar Bets & bet on the NBA today!

NBA prop bets

Best bet: Edgecombe over 9.5 rebounds and assists (-118)

Edgecombe, the 2025 No. 3 overall pick, has played 82 minutes over his first two NBA games.

So much for easing a rookie into things.

The Baylor Bears product cleared this number in each of those contests, logging seven rebounds and three assists against the Celtics and six rebounds and eight assists against the Charlotte Hornets.

With Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, I expect Nick Nurse to give the youngster plenty of run again against the Orlando Magic.

-> Bet on Edgecombe to stuff the stat sheet on Monday

Orlando is off to a 1-2 start, but still ranks sixth in defensive efficiency, so this won’t be an easy matchup for Edgecombe.

It is worth noting, though, that the Magic have given up the sixth-most rebounds and second-most assists per game to shooting guards, according to Fantasy Pros.

If Edgecombe plays anywhere near 40 minutes again, he should have enough opportunities to fly past this total.

Key stat: Five guards have cleared this line against Orlando in three games.

Best NBA picks

Murphy over 25.5 points and rebounds (-112): I’m loving Murphy’s chances of clearing this line against the new-look Celtics, who just look bad.

Boston is off to an 0-3 start with Jayson Tatum sidelined, and Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis traded. It ranks 23rd in defensive rating and 29th in rebounding rate.

Murphy stands at 6-foot-8 with solid rebounding upside at the shooting guard position.

He just dropped 24 points and 10 rebounds against Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs, who are second in defensive rating and rebounding rate.

Murphy had 13 points and seven rebounds in his season opener, but shot a terrible 5-for-15 from the field. The shot volume is there for him to eclipse this mark.

Monday’s 11-game NBA slate is ripe with prop betting opportunities.

Embed: #120135

Best NBA picks

Reaves under 3.5 threes (-129): Reaves had the best game of his career on Sunday night, dropping 51 points to pair with 11 rebounds and nine assists.

So fading him with Luka Doncic and LeBron James sidelined might seem crazy, but hear me out.

Reaves is playing his third game in four nights, logging 76 minutes across the contests.

Portland acquired defensive stalwart Jrue Holiday, who will be guarding Reaves. Opposing SGs are averaging just 2.19 threes per game against Portland so far (sixth-lowest).

Reaves is 1-2 against this line, making just three total 3s before Sunday’s 6-for-10 performance.

Reaves is a capable 3-point shooter, but does damage at the rim as well. He scored 21 points at the free-throw line on Sunday and won’t be restricted to just the long ball.

-> Fade Reaves vs. Portland at NorthStar Bets

Murphy over 24.5 points and rebounds (-114): I’m loving Murphy’s chances of clearing this line against the new-look Celtics, who just look bad.

Boston is off to an 0-3 start with Jayson Tatum sidelined, and Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis traded. It ranks 23rd in defensive rating and 29th in rebounding rate.

Murphy stands at 6-foot-8 with solid rebounding upside at the shooting guard position.

He just dropped 24 points and 10 rebounds against Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs, who are second in defensive rating and rebounding rate.

Murphy had 13 points and seven rebounds in his season opener, but shot a terrible 5-for-15 from the field. The shot volume is there for him to eclipse this mark.
