In this hour-long episode of VSiN's 'Follow the Money,' hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive into the dramatic conclusion of the NBA play-in games, highlighting the chaotic and high-stakes nature of the matchups. The Hornets' comeback from a 16-point deficit against the Heat, only to nearly blow a five-point lead in overtime, is dissected with intense focus on LaMelo Ball’s controversial tackle of Bam Adebayo—leading to a heated debate on player safety, officiating, and potential suspension. The hosts also analyze key betting angles, spotlighting Andre Drummond’s rebounding prop with Joel Embiid out, and advocate for player props on players like Benedict Mathurin and Guy Santos. The episode transitions into PGA Tour coverage with Jeff Seeley, who breaks down under-the-radar picks like JT Poston and Wyndham Clark, emphasizing course history and value in the RBC Heritage odds. Throughout, the hosts stress the importance of following the money—both in betting strategy and in understanding team incentives, such as Golden State’s potential desire to lose to secure a high draft pick. The episode closes with reflections on sports media failures, including Amazon’s technical issues during the NBA game and poor broadcast coverage of the Masters.
