In this second hour of 'Follow the Money' on VSiN Best Bets, hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into NBA playoff futures, player props, and team dynamics, with special guest Nick Whalen providing expert analysis on key matchups. The conversation centers on the Denver Nuggets' precarious 3-1 deficit against the injury-riddled Minnesota Timberwolves, with both hosts expressing skepticism about Denver’s ability to rally despite being heavy favorites. They highlight under-the-radar props on players like Iguodala and Nas Reed, and debate the viability of Orlando Magic at 35-1 to win the East, citing their underdog status and strong defensive identity. The discussion shifts to the NFL draft, where the hosts critique landing spots for rookies like Jeremiah Love and Fernando Mendoza, emphasizing the importance of team context and opportunity. A major segment focuses on the shocking news that Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has entered treatment for a gambling addiction, raising questions about NCAA eligibility rules and the broader implications for college sports. The episode closes with a look at NHL playoff tension, particularly the Flyers-Penguins series, and a promotional plug for V-CIN Pro’s Triple Crown betting package.
Orlando Magic at 35-1 to win the East presents a compelling underdog value given their defensive identity and low expectations.
Brendan Sorsby’s gambling addiction and potential loss of NCAA eligibility underscores the risks of betting on one’s own games under current NCAA rules.
Denver Nuggets’ 11-point favorite status despite poor three-point shooting and poor individual performances from Murray and Joker creates a betting opportunity on Minnesota.
Player props like Nas Reed’s 12.5 points and Iguodala’s rebounding are viable in low-scoring, high-pressure playoff games.
Fernando Mendoza’s 7.5-starts prop is a high-risk, high-reward play due to the uncertainty of Kirk Cousins’ health and team strategy.

NBA Playoff Futures & Player Props
“I think the guy to look at again is McDaniels. Not afraid of him. Talk trash after game two. The altercation at the end, and his great numbers went ants out. That's a guy who's just not afraid of everybody, and they're not scared of him.”
College Football & NFL Draft Insights
“Student athletes who wager on their own games or on other sports at their own schools face permanent loss of college eligibility in all sports. That's where he might, I guess retroactively they could make that case if they really want to stick by their guidelines.”
Orlando Magic & Cleveland Cavaliers Futures
“That's why 35-1 isn't crazy. And again, it's not a typical 1-8 matchup. Orlando's the biggest disappointment but was expected to do more before the season started.”
Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby’s Gambling Scandal
A major segment covers the news that Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has entered treatment for a gambling addiction, including betting on Indiana games while on the roster. The hosts analyze the NCAA’s 2023 guidelines and the potential for permanent eligibility loss.

“It's like Tommy Norris in Landman. I used to be an alcoholic. I'm clean. Aren't you drinking alcohol? Well, McUltra doesn't count. I'm good. Just beer. It's no big deal.”
