Follow The Money | April 14, 2026 | Hour 3

In the third hour of 'Follow the Money' on VSiN Best Bets, hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into the NBA playoffs, focusing on the controversial Spurs' decision to potentially rest key players against the Nuggets, which they analyze as a strategic move to preserve health and avoid overexposure. Senior writer Matt Moore of Action Network joins to argue that Denver’s superior spacing and depth make them strong favorites over Minnesota in the first round, despite the Wolves’ recent dominance. The discussion shifts to East playoff projections, with Moore making bold picks like the Knicks over the Hawks and the Raptors upsetting the Cavs, citing roster inexperience and defensive inefficiencies. The hosts then scrutinize the upcoming play-in games, with a strong emphasis on the Hornets vs. Heat matchup, where Charlotte’s superior efficiency and recent form are highlighted despite Miami’s playoff experience. Later, Derek Stevens of Circa Las Vegas discusses how prediction markets have impacted betting handles, especially after the Masters, noting that while revenue remains stable, sharp action in prediction markets has diluted overall volume. He also shares his skepticism about offering props on events with predictable outcomes, calling them unbookable. The episode closes with a recap of live bets and upcoming action, including high-profile props and playoff series projections.
