Big Perk opens The Betting Academy with an explainer on why betting the spread in the first half is the better play compared to the full-game spread in the NBA.
Then, Gina and Perk dive into Perk’s Picks for tonight’s NBA Action, and zero in on Heat vs Hawks, Celtics-Nets, Rockets-Clippers and Grizzlies-Blazers.
We look ahead to the Battle for LA, where Gina explains the difference in mentality between the two teams in dealing with key injuries. Perk thinks coaching is the reason for the Clippers’ success and credits Ty Lue.
Finally, we lock in on Nuggets-Warriors in a matchup of MVP contenders. Gina thinks Steph will continue to build his case for MVP, while Perk thinks Golden State isn’t relevant enough in the playoff picture.
