The NBA Play-In Tournament tips off tonight, paving the way for the official start of the NBA Playoffs this Saturday. Joining us to discuss all things betting in the NBA Playoffs is the host of Hoops Tonight and our Volume podcast colleague Jason Timpf!

Jason joins betting expert Chad Millman and professional gambler Simon Hunter to break down the four established matchups in the first round. In the Eastern Conference those matchups include Jalen Brunson and his New York Knicks facing the Atlanta Hawks, after a Play-In Tournament showdown between the Miami Heat and Charlotte Hornets, led by star rookie Kon Knueppel. In the Western Conference we have Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves, along with LeBron James and Luka Doncic leading the Los Angeles Lakers against the heavily-favored Houston Rockets with Kevin Durant.

Jason provides his analysis on whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder can repeat as champions, and whether Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs have what it takes to dethrone them out West. Plus, exotic wagers, futures picks, and more! #Volume
