What they’re saying

“Garland is an absolute steal at this price on Sunday.”

— Peter Dewey, Sports Betting Expert

“This play is a little bit of a risky one – so I'd understand not tailing – but if Boston sits everyone this line is going to fly in Charlotte's favor.”

— Peter Dewey, Sports Betting Expert

“I'll gladly go UNDER, as that bet has hit in 21 of the Knicks' 37 road games.”

— Peter Dewey, Sports Betting Expert

“Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns is wildly undervalued against OKC on Sunday.”

— Peter Dewey, Sports Betting Expert

What’s next

The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow Walker Reed Quinn out on bail.
