NBC Sports Chicago and NBC Sports Philadelphia partnered with PointsBet to present BetCast, an alternate live game sports-betting experience, covering the Chicago Bulls at Philadelphia 76ers NBA matchup on Monday, March 7, at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT. The Bulls-76ers BetCast marks NBC Sports Regional Networks’ first dual-market sports betting telecast and will be presented on NBC Sports Chicago Plus and NBC Sports Philadelphia Plus.

The BetCast will deliver on-screen live odds data powered by PointsBet – including Spread, Over/Under, and moving Money Lines – along with futures odds and player props. The real-time data will appear on an enhanced graphic overlay surrounding the regular live-game coverage.

The BetCast will also include alternate announcers to provide commentary with a sports betting focus. NBC Sports EDGE host Sara Perlman will be joined by NBC Sports Philadelphia’s 76ers analyst Jim Lynam, NBC Sports Chicago’s Bulls analyst Kendall Gill and Jay Croucher, Head Oddsmaker at PointsBet, to provide analysis and insights throughout the game.

As part of the Betcast, the NBC Sports Predictor app, powered by PointsBet, will deliver a special “Pick n’ Roll” contest for the game with a guaranteed $50,000 jackpot. In addition, “Bet the EDGE GameTime,” a special edition of the podcast hosted by Matt Bernier and Drew Dinsick, will lead into the game on NBC Sports Philadelphia Plus from 6-7 p.m. ET and NBC Sports Chicago Plus from 5-6 p.m. CT. Viewers can engage with the BetCast on social media by following along and interacting with @NBCSChicago, @NBCSPhilly, and @PointsBetUSA on Twitter.
