We’ve entered the fourth season of the annual South Point-lined Play of the Day competition, effective July 1.

Starting bankrolls have reset to $10,000, with the maximum bet being to win $1,000 and the minimum wager $300. A participant's failure to place a bet on their scheduled day results in a $200 bankroll penalty.

Ray Brewer won back-to-back titles in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons, after Taylor Bern prevailed in 2014-15.

Golden State Warriors minus-11.5 vs. New Orleans Pelicans: $990 to win $900:

New Orleans did well to steal one game in this series, but the Pelicans are no match for the best team in the NBA, as we saw in Golden State's decisive Game 4 win.

The Warriors aren't going to mess around at home with a 3-1 series lead. A healthy, motivated Golden State team will play hard on defense, make a ton of 3's, put this game away early and get ready for the Western Conference finals. Expect a blowout and a cover.

Current Standings: Keefer (33-26-1, $11,616), Granger (17-16, $10,459), Brewer (25-27-1, $5,570), Grimala (14-20, $5,665)
