NHL, NBA and MLB are all in action for this Hump Day so Brad and Nate and loaded up with picks and parlays.

The NBA playoffs took the top headlines this morning with news that Kawhi Leonard would miss Game 5 and possibly the rest of the series so that plays a role in today's picks for the Fade Five.
