This is Veson by the Books on Veson, the Sports Betting Network.

We continue Veson by the Books, top of the hour. Dave Ross and Mark Muses, I'm here at the Midgaming Hall, frankly Kentucky. Mark is back home in New York City. We do have some breaking news right there in your city, Mark. And this is what we've been talking about a lot in the program today. Mitchell Robinson. We knew about the broken right pinky. Well, Shams, Charania, and Shams is always on it,

says he's already on to go on surgery on that pinky finger.

He does plan to play Wednesday night game one of the NBA finals.

So whether that's San Antonio or OKC, he will have a brace on his hand.

But Mark, he's going to be out there.

And I've got to think very quickly, that's really good news for Nick's backers out there.

Yeah, no question.

I don't think there's any doubt about it, especially if it ends up being Victor Wimbunyama and the San Antonio Spurs.

It's just a question of just how effective he is going to be, you know, playing with a brace, you know, dealing with, you know,

a broken right pinky. Not that he's this offensive force. It's a matter of grabbing boards and

Mitchell Robinson? But you would imagine, I mean, Dave, you're four ones away from winning an NBA title.

It's a broken right pinky.

So you would imagine the player if, you know, if he can play, as we have seen here, he's going to try and give it a go.

We'll just see exactly how effective Robinson can be.

All right.

So again, for your handicapping purposes, he will be playing on Wednesday night in game one. We'll figure out who that opponent is. Always love our conversations with the great Lou for DeKaro. Joins us now here on the progressive guest. So I give him a follow on X at Gambleau. He's the host of the bout business and the sneak teep podcast. Lou, always great to catch up with you, my man. We're going to talk some puck with you, as we love to do. We know you have a passion for the puck, too. But we got to ask you about UFC, Macau. You got to get up super early in the morning. I'm terrible with time changes to watch these fights here, Lou. I know you and I have been texting about this all week. There's not a ton of

value on this card that we've been able to find. What have you seen that might be actionable?

Well, guys, thanks for having me in on such a loaded sports weekend. As far as the UFC card is

concerned, it's not uncommon for the UFC to try and fuel their manifest destiny or their expansion
