In this Thursday morning episode of The Daily Juice Podcast, host Matt Peralt reviews a strong 4-0 performance from the previous night's betting slate, highlighting standout performances by the Vegas Golden Knights, Philadelphia 76ers, and Golden State Warriors—particularly Steph Curry's record-breaking seven three-pointers. With no NBA games on Thursday and a light MLB schedule due to the end of the regular season, Peralt focuses on two upcoming play-in games for Friday: a Charlotte Hornets road win against the Orlando Magic and a Golden State Warriors matchup against the Phoenix Suns. He backs Charlotte at -3 and the Warriors at +2.5, citing strong historical matchups and recent form. For Thursday's only bet, he takes the under 8.5 runs in the Orioles vs. Guardians game, citing strong pitching performances from Shane Baz and Parker Missick. The episode also features promotional content for the Betting Pros NBA props cheat sheet and sponsor mentions for Hard Rock Bet and other iHeartRadio shows.
