1 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,719 Speaker 1: What's up everybody? Welcome into another episode of Prophet Picks. 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,199 If you are new, we do always start this show 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,359 by being transparent. Yesterday I ended up splitting the NBA 4 00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:16,719 two and two, and I did have a loser in 5 00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:21,000 college basketball, so two and three overall was not profitable. 6 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,559 See if we can do better here today, Veno, it 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,000 is good to be back with you. Hopefully your Monday 8 00:00:27,079 --> 00:00:29,600 was a little better than mine. 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,719 Speaker 2: We had a three and two yesterday, and the biggest 10 00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:37,000 play was the NFL. We talked about it here on 11 00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:40,679 the show. Atlanta rams over forty eight and a half. 12 00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:46,359 It did get there, so we'll take that. NBA Milwaukee 13 00:00:46,439 --> 00:00:48,320 was a correct side. I think we use that as 14 00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:52,000 the best bet on the show. Yesterday. However, Orlando got 15 00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:55,840 caught at the end which cost me and I had 16 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,759 a totals play. One of the three totals plays that 17 00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:01,759 did can get over. I forget which one now, but 18 00:01:01,759 --> 00:01:03,719 I lost two NBA games one one, and then won 19 00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:06,040 a college hoop game with Oklahoma State team total over, 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,159 so three and two profitable Monday. Look forward to today's card. 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,879 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to it. We have four games 22 00:01:13,879 --> 00:01:16,599 in the Association. The first one looks like Philly and 23 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,359 Memphis opened up minus one for the Grizzlies, looks like flipped. 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,319 Philly is now minus one. Total has going up slightly 25 00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:28,640 from two thirty three to two thirty four. And let's 26 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,359 refresh the injuries. But I mean, I do see and 27 00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:36,799 be Yeah, still questionable. Uber and Watford are out for Memphis. 28 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,359 Jack Landel is questionable. The rest of these guys, I 29 00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:44,079 mean the laundry that's ksedp, Brandon Clark, Zach Ceti, Ty, 30 00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:48,519 Jerome Hip and Williams. I mean a whole lot missing 31 00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:51,879 for this Grizzlies team. And I think, especially like the 32 00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:56,680 Biggs kind of missing a lot there. I would think 33 00:01:56,719 --> 00:02:01,280 that there should be some opportunity for offensive rebounds and 34 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,879 second chance points for the Sixers team, I mean the 35 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,240 six Ers role this year, role favorite. I believe they're 36 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,240 five and one ahs the Grizzlies as a home dog. 37 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,240 I'm gonna double check this. Actually I want to say 38 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,879 they were one in five, but as I say that 39 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,520 out loud, like I'm mixing something up here, So no, 40 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:25,039 they're one in five as a home underdog. I kind 41 00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:27,400 of just see this game just like that, six years 42 00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,280 off of a beatdown from the Thunder. I think that 43 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:32,520 they come out here and play a much better game 44 00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:35,439 versus the Grizzlies. So I'm looking towards the Sixers in 45 00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:37,560 this one. You know, can you talk me off? 46 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,159 Speaker 2: Well, I'm not going to talk you off. Those two 47 00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:43,719 technical trends. When one side's five and one in one 48 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,879 role and the other side's one and five in the role, 49 00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:49,520 certainly you want to play the five and one side, 50 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,240 which is the Sixers. I too like the Sixers ski, 51 00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,039 just in a different capacity. I think it's a good offensive, 52 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,919 bounce back game for them. You mentioned some missing Memphis bigs. 53 00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:02,439 Philly's been hell. Oklahoma City obviously was in a get 54 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,960 right spot the other night. Philly never had a chance. 55 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,479 But I think against this Memphis defense, which is more 56 00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:12,599 than capable of giving up one hundred and eighteen, which 57 00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:16,360 is what we need to win this total price here, 58 00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:18,639 I think they're more than capable of that with what 59 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,479 they have out there, with the pace that Memphis is 60 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,840 going to go at no matter who they have on 61 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:24,520 the floor, because they do have job. They do have 62 00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:27,800 Jaron Jackson Junior on the floor here, So I think 63 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,080 it'll be probably a little bit of a high octane game. 64 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:35,680 And I'll say this just from a philosophical standpoint when betting. 65 00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:39,639 I think I said it last week. These weeks that 66 00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:43,199 lead to holidays, these weeks that lead to the All 67 00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:46,520 Star Game, a defense for the most part just goes 68 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,159 out the window. Last night's ski and eleven game board 69 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,759 eight overs and only three unders. Nobody playing a lot 70 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,919 of defense at this point in time. So I think 71 00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:58,039 I like Philly team total up and over one seventeen 72 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:58,639 and a half. 73 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: All right, So I'm liking the side You're like a 74 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,479 little bit more of the team total. I can see 75 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,280 both getting there tonight. I will go down to Celtics 76 00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:13,479 and Jazz for this one opened up eight looks like 77 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,040 eight or eight and a half. Total went up slightly 78 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,800 from two forty and a half to two forty two 79 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:23,720 and a half. Whouse and Tatum are ound, Kiante George questionable, 80 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:31,240 Ace Bailey, Kevin Love out for Utah. George is a 81 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,560 big deal with that question mark right there, you know. 82 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,519 I just I don't really view the Celtics as this 83 00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:42,839 eight and a half point road favorite team. I feel 84 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,519 like the Jazz have been good at home as a 85 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:51,839 home dog. Number just feels super inflated to me. I 86 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,560 don't know. This one is making me wreck my brain 87 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,920 a little bit. Here, Rob, you know, any feeling for 88 00:04:55,959 --> 00:04:57,439 you on Celtics and Jazz. 89 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, now and again I'll preface it by saying I 90 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,279 haven't played yet, but of course, the way my mind 91 00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:07,079 works this week, I'm looking at any possible way to 92 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,199 play a total that I can get to the window 93 00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:12,079 with here. I'm with you in the fact that I 94 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,079 think eight and a half with Boston is risky on 95 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,240 the road, but knowing what we know about Jazz home 96 00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:20,920 games and the way everybody scores, if you wanted to 97 00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:23,839 trust Boston again, I would trust them in a team 98 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:29,079 total capacity, Utah to give up one thirty at home 99 00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:31,360 is not a big deal. They'll score one thirty, but 100 00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:33,439 they'll give it up to We've seen their team totals 101 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,399 fly over all season long. Here the number is one 102 00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:41,000 twenty five and a half. I mean that would be 103 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,079 the way I'd look again. I didn't bet it. I'm 104 00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:46,279 leary of betting it, but I can't really see another 105 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,160 way to bet this game. I don't really want any 106 00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:52,279 part of the Utah side, so for me, it would 107 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,959 probably be Boston team total over or nothing. 108 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: All right, I'm going to move down the list to 109 00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:01,879 the Lakers and Pistons. This one did open up as 110 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,680 a three and a half. I'm sorry, that's my mistake. 111 00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,600 It opened up Lakers minus one and a half. It's 112 00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:12,000 now Piston's minus two and a half. Total went up 113 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,160 from two thirty one to two thirty three. I'm seeing 114 00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:18,680 right now and just taking a look at the injury report. 115 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,040 I do know Austin Reeves and Ruey also gave Vincent 116 00:06:23,319 --> 00:06:28,680 all out. You have Kris Lavert doubtful for that Pistons team. 117 00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,680 After JJ, you know, has some things to say in 118 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,079 his postgame interview about his team's performance. They go out 119 00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:39,279 there and play a solid game, win by margin. Is 120 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,160 it going to be a one off or are they 121 00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:43,800 going to continue? I mean, I know JJ's not satisfied, 122 00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,879 but he's not the player. He's not the one stepping 123 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,160 on the court and playing. So I would like to 124 00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:58,759 think that the Lakers still play motivated. But Pistons I 125 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,879 trust him more defensively, and I don't know. This game 126 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,360 just makes me feel a little bit nervous. From a 127 00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:09,240 side perspective, I do like Lebron over his points tonight 128 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,079 without really without reasoning the lineup he's been you know, 129 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,480 he's been scoring pretty well. A lot more scoring load 130 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,319 is on his shoulders without those guys, and he usually 131 00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:22,680 plays well on his birthday. So I like Lebron to 132 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,399 score tonight. What do you like here in this one? 133 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,199 Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting because you can see motivation on 134 00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:31,639 each side. For the Pistons, this is the final game 135 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,160 of a five game road trip. They're two and two 136 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,720 on this road trip. All teams like to have successful 137 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,000 win percentage road trip, So for Pistons, this is the 138 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,680 make or break game. You can go three and two 139 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,279 on the road, you can go two and three. I 140 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,639 think they'll play hard. They play hard every night. They're 141 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:54,079 good on the boards. I just for the Lakers. Yeah, 142 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,360 JJ Reddick did what he did, warning the Lakers that 143 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,279 Saturday's practice is going to be, you know, pretty tough. 144 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:03,519 After he had gotten done slamming at the portio, and 145 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,240 they went out and beat the Kings. That's the only 146 00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:07,399 problem I have with that win is it was the Kings. 147 00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:11,600 I would have loved to see it against a better team, 148 00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:15,439 but you almost expected that the Lakers in that spot 149 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,000 would slaughter Sacramento, which they did. Pistons in here off 150 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,839 two straight losses, right, lose by two to Utah, come 151 00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:25,839 back and get beat in the next game by the Clippers, 152 00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:28,839 who are playing better now. I see a lot of 153 00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:31,040 motivation on that side too, and a point spread that 154 00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:34,360 I think I could get to with Detroit Lakers kind 155 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,879 of fifty to fifty as a home dog this year. 156 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:40,399 I think I saw two and three ats so far 157 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,679 this year, so there's nothing really there to fade or play. 158 00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:48,480 I didn't play the game. I think I would lean Pistons, 159 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,559 but I'm just not sure enough to make that bet 160 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,840 because if LA is, you know, again, revitalized, re energized, 161 00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:58,960 however you want to put it, they could definitely win 162 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,480 the game. The apps from the lineup do hurt a 163 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,480 little bit for LA, so I think I would look 164 00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:08,399 Detroit or nothing at all. 165 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: All right, be no looking towards the Pistons in this one. Yes, 166 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,480 it's tough for me to play on the side. It 167 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:23,080 definitely definitely is props. Other props. Somebody mentioned Lebron Anders assists. 168 00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:24,519 I can see that. I think it's more of a 169 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,679 scoring night, and Luca maybe unders assists too. I mean 170 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,639 missing Reeves and really those are two of the guys 171 00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:33,679 you're kicking into to get those assists. It's gonna be 172 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,000 a little tougher here tonight. Last game on the slate, 173 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,799 Kings and Clippers did open Clippers minus eleven and a 174 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,519 half down to ten or nine and a half depending 175 00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:48,799 where he shot. Total a big move from two twenty 176 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,200 six as low as two nineteen and a half here, Rob. 177 00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:56,360 You know, for the Clippers you have Collins questionable, there 178 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,679 will be no Bogdanovic or Zubak. For the Kings there 179 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,360 will be no Sabonis or Levigne, and then you have 180 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:09,480 Keegan Murray questionable. I did think about. My first thought 181 00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:15,639 was Brook Lopez has been getting twice as minutes because 182 00:10:15,639 --> 00:10:19,440 they don't have bigs without Zubloc out there, and his 183 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,320 spacing has helped the Clippers offense. But I mean he's 184 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,399 been he's been rebounding the ball, all right. Look, I 185 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,360 did glance at his rebounds, his rebounds and assists just 186 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,080 because opportunity is going to be there. I understand he 187 00:10:31,159 --> 00:10:32,960 spends a lot of time on the perimeter, et cetera, 188 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:39,799 et cetera, but he's he's been hitting it without Zublac, 189 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,879 So I'm looking at that. But other than that, it's 190 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,440 it's initially it's hard for me to lay with the Clippers, 191 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,360 but when I just think about lately, I mean, they 192 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,279 have been winning by double digits, They've been playing a 193 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,279 lot better Rob, you know, cover for the last five games, 194 00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:01,919 and his King's team just maybe might not have enough 195 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:07,360 offense to keep up without Levine lean Clippers. I can't 196 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,879 lay Clippers though, So just a lane, what do you think? 197 00:11:10,919 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to totally agree because I wanted 198 00:11:14,879 --> 00:11:18,200 to get the Clippers here. It seems like maybe, you know, 199 00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:20,879 the wheelchairs got some new engines in them or something, 200 00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:23,639 because they've been playing really good as of late. Four 201 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,240 straight wins, all four covers, and they weren't against all 202 00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:31,360 against garbage teams ski. I mean, those four wins come 203 00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:36,159 against the Lakers, the Rockets at Portland, where Portland is 204 00:11:36,159 --> 00:11:38,279 a real good home dog. We talk about it all 205 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,679 the time. But Clippers went in there and one by sixteen, 206 00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:43,159 and then beat Detroit by thirteen. So the quality of 207 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,759 competition has been really good. Made me want to go 208 00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:49,360 and play the Clippers here, but the points spread again, 209 00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:53,480 the great equalizer still there's no real injuries. Like when 210 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,480 I first saw this number, I thought, well, Kawhi must 211 00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:58,360 be resting, just scored fifty five the other night. But 212 00:11:58,799 --> 00:12:02,120 that's not the case here. Unless somebody knows something that 213 00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:04,679 we don't know yet, I think for me it would 214 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,279 have It wouldn't be the Kings in this situation, even 215 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,279 though they were off a bad loss to the Lakers. 216 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,960 I just don't know that the Kings are a team 217 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,600 that I can apply my usual bounce back theory too. 218 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,639 They're just as capable of getting beat by twenty again, 219 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:21,639 so you know, when all said and done, no play 220 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,840 on the game, but I would lean Clippers fair enough. 221 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: That is the NBA slate for the day, quick and easy, Robno, 222 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:36,000 just a four game slates, so best bedtime. Actually, before 223 00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:37,759 we do that, I will toss this up there. We 224 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:43,080 know this is always good. Five dollars Tuesday. Go check 225 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,840 out Robno's page or my page. I personally don't have 226 00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:51,440 mine up yet. I'm debating between tonight's games or an 227 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,440 early game for tomorrow, so mine will be up very 228 00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:58,279 very shortly. But I'm sure Ravino has says out get 229 00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:02,039 a top play for just five dollars, you know, I'm 230 00:13:02,039 --> 00:13:03,799 gonna pass it to you. On that note, ask you 231 00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:06,039 if there's anything else you'd like to promote. If you 232 00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:07,480 have a best bet for the show, we love to 233 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,240 hear it. If you don't, it's all good. 234 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,519 Speaker 2: All right. So five dollars Tuesday is the promotion here, guys. 235 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,200 If you like college football, I did just do a 236 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,919 free play video on one of the games tomorrow. You 237 00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:24,440 can go check that out over at wager Talk TV 238 00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:27,519 best Bet. I will leave one here ski. I think 239 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,159 the Sixers definitely go over one seventeen and a half 240 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,960 tonight against Memphis. I just again, I view this as 241 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,759 a bounce back for them. The offense has been a 242 00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:40,000 little spotty. I think maybe I'm just justifying it because 243 00:13:40,039 --> 00:13:44,960 Oklahoma City was looking for another big win. They got 244 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,559 it prior to that, you know, at fairly decent defense 245 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,200 being played by Brooklyn. Philly didn't score here. Memphis just 246 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,960 to me, isn't going to play any defense. And I'm 247 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,600 going to apply my little theory about you know, these 248 00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:01,799 holiday week games where teams just don't care enough. They're 249 00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:03,440 more interested in what they're gonna do off the court 250 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,120 than on the court. So for me, it's gonna be 251 00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:08,559 the Sixers team total over one seventeen and a half. 252 00:14:10,039 --> 00:14:12,919 Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna refrain from giving one today, but 253 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,039 I'm very close to better than the Sixers on the 254 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,960 point spread, So I like rab Veno's play. We'll just 255 00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,519 rop with what he has for today, Vino, I always 256 00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:24,240 appreciate you taking the time to cap these games with us. 257 00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:28,399 Definitely helps everybody's process.
