About Last Night…

Where the PQ Newsletter was RIGHT:

  • OKC power forward Chet Holmgren went over his 8.5/9.5 rebound prop grabbing 11 boards against the Nuggets last night.

  • Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon went over his 6.5 rebound prop with 7 rebounds.

  • If you listened to the Prop Queen Pod we agreed to take the Chet 8+ rebounds and Gordon 6+ rebounds parlay for -112.

  • Nuggets guard Christian Braun went over his 11.5 points prop putting up 23 against the Thunder.

Where the PQ Newsletter was WRONG:

  • Reds right hander Nick Martinez did not go over his 4.5 K prop. He had just 3 Ks in 7 innings against the White Sox.

  • Blue Jays right hander Kevin Gausman did not go under his 5.5 K prop. He just went over with 6 Ks in 5.2 IP against the Rays.

  • Rangers righty Jacob deGrom did not go under 6.5 Ks. He just went over with 7 Ks in 8 innings against the Astros.

  • Jessica Brand’s K prop of Hunter Brown under 6.5 Ks also did not go under. He had 9 Ks in 8 innings last night against the Rangers.

  • Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander did not go under his 30.5 points prop. He had 32 points against the Nuggets last night.
