Rory Breasail has been a diehard basketball fan since Larry Johnson’s 4-point play in 1999. He’s been writing about basketball for the last decade for outlets including NBA Math and Hashtag Basketball and joined Covers' NBA and WNBA coverage in 2022. Growing up in Steve Nash’s hometown of Victoria, BC, he now resides across the water in Vancouver, where he does a daily prayer to bring back the NBA. He is a graduate of the British Columbia Institute of Technology’s Radio Arts program and has a Bachelor of Arts in Professional Communication from Royal Roads University. He’s betting and writing about betting nearly every day of the NBA and WNBA seasons at a variety of books including FanDuel and Betway. Rory’s top piece of betting advice is to learn to read between the lines of injury reports. Whether a questionable player plays or not, and if they can have a real impact is massively important in sports betting. Whenever possible go right to local beat reporters as they often provide crucial context and insight that otherwise gets lost in translation.
