On the latest episode of Bet the Edge, Drew Dinsick and Vaughn Dalzell are joined by Kenny Ducey to dive into the NBA slate for Friday. Kenny thinks Steph Curry’s recent shooting struggles will benefit the Celtics (+3) tonight. He also likes the Timberwolves (-2.5) to take down the Lakers and the Over (227.5) in the Hornets vs. Blazers matchup.
Former NBA player and PointsBet ambassador Rip Hamilton stops by to discuss how he got into sports betting and breaks down the current futures markets. He likes the Heat (+550) to come out of the East and explains why he compares Evan Mobley to Kevin Garnett and thinks the first-year player will win Rookie of the Year.
NBC Sports EDGE’s John Supowitz makes his Bet the Edge debut and gives his handicap for a few early college football bowl games. He expects there to be plenty of offense between Western Kentucky and Applachian State and is taking the Over (66.5). He also likes UTSA (-2) to cover against San Diego State in the Frisco Bowl.
Drew and Vaughn wrap up today’s episode with their Edge of the Day plays. Drew is riding with the Celtics (+3) against the Warriors, while Vaughn sees value in Virginia Tech (-2.5) over St. Bonaventure in college hoops.
