The Elite 8 comes to a conclusion on Tuesday night as we will finalize the remaining spots in the Final Four. This means it is time to have some fun and look for some of the best bets across all the different sports and pile them into one parlay. We’ve put together a four-pick cross-sport parlay which will take you right through the day, including action from the NHL, NBA and college basketball.
Each pick is taken from a different sport with a second pick from the NHL. A winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1082 with FanDuel — more than 10/1! Let’s break down each of these four plays. Remember to gamble responsibly.

The Rangers have lost their last two games and will be playing their third game in four nights against a Washington team that is looking to put the rest of the East Division behind them. New York is averaging under 30 shots per game and will have a tough time if they lose the lead early coming back after almost doing it on Sunday. The Capitals are the hottest team in the NHL and will not let these two points slip by them.

Best College Basketball Pick: USC Trojans vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs -8.5 (-110), 7:15 p.m ET
The Zags have now covered in three straight tournament games. This Gonzaga team is going to get a true test against a talented and long USC opponent, but their advantages on the perimeter are great enough to see them through to the next round. USC is a strong team but they are not built to play catchup. Take Gonzaga.

Best NBA Pick: Orlando Magic vs. Los Angeles Clippers -11.5 (-106), 10 p.m ET
In the two games since the Vucevic trade, the Magic have had game totals of 105 and 93. With the level of defense that they will be taking on they will most likely be held under 100 points which is not likely to be enough to keep this one competitive. The Clippers are too deep and too talented, so back them to cover.
