Live Bet Sunday on V-CEN delivers a deep dive into the opening rounds of the 2026 NBA and Stanley Cup Playoffs, with expert analysis from NHL betting specialist Jonathan Davis and baseball analyst Greg Peterson. The episode kicks off with a dominant 34-point lead by the Oklahoma City Thunder over the Phoenix Suns, turning a pregame 16.5-point favorite into a live 37.5-point favorite, while the Thunder’s series odds remain at +110 to win the NBA title. In the NHL, the Colorado Avalanche take a 2-0 lead over the LA Kings, with Davis highlighting value in puck line bets and player props, particularly Uri Slevkowski of Montreal. The episode also covers a surge in MLB action, including the St. Louis Cardinals’ five-game winning streak, the New York Mets’ 11-game losing skid, and strong performances from the Blue Jays and Mariners. Greg Peterson weighs in on the Mets’ struggles, citing bullpen issues and a lack of timely hitting, while praising the Cardinals’ unexpected rise and the NL Central’s dominance. The show closes with a preview of the San Antonio Spurs’ first playoff game since 2019, featuring Victor Wembanyama, and a strong focus on value betting across multiple sports.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are a dominant 34-point favorite over the Suns, with a live 37.5-point spread and a total trending under.
Jonathan Davis identifies value in puck line bets and player props, especially Uri Slevkowski (+1200 to lead in goals) and Tate Thompson (+170 to lead in shots on goal).
The New York Mets have lost 11 consecutive games; Greg Peterson attributes this to bullpen failures, lack of timely hitting, and underwhelming offseason pitching additions.
The St. Louis Cardinals are a surprise early-season team, winning five in a row and leading the NL Central with all five teams above .500.
Victor Wembanyama is expected to dominate in his first playoff game, with a strong case for a 41.5-point-plus-rebound performance.

Opening the Stanley Cup Playoffs: Avalanche vs. Kings
“We've had four straight games in round one go under in the first period. I wonder if the condensed schedule is kind of caught up with teams and why we've had some of these slower starts to the game.”
NHL Playoff Strategy: Tampa vs. Montreal and Buffalo Sabres
“I grabbed Tate Thompson at plus 170 for the most shots on goal in the series because I think if Buffalo wins, he's going to be the shot leader and this way I get Buffalo, in my way I look at it, at plus money.”
NBA Playoffs: Thunder Dominate Suns
“It's a 34-point game in Oklahoma City. The Thunder now lead 100 to 66... not the worst look from that perspective. If you have not bet things yet, although in a 34-point game, probably better opportunities to find those live.”
MLB Update: Mets’ Collapse and Cardinals’ Surge
“The Mets have now lost 11 consecutive games... I do think that there's something internal that's happening right now.”
MLB: Surprise Teams and Betting Trends
The episode highlights the St. Louis Cardinals’ five-game winning streak, the Blue Jays’ strong start, and the NL Central’s unprecedented five teams above .500. Greg Peterson discusses the value in overs in Sacramento.
“The Mets have now lost 11 consecutive games... I do think that there's something internal that's happening right now.”
“I would not be surprised to see a 27-15 performance out of Wembe if not flirting with 30.”
“It's a 34-point game in Oklahoma City. The Thunder now lead 100 to 66... not the worst look from that perspective. If you have not bet things yet, although in a 34-point game, probably better opportunities to find those live.”
