1
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody?

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,919
Speaker 2: Welcome into another episode of Prophet Picks. If you are new,

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,880
we do always start the show by being transparent. Yesterday

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,839
I took a step backwards. I had the Houston Cougars

5
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:18,280
first half, and I didn't I mean, you know, I

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,920
didn't consider Senior night and then we would have, you know,

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,280
two starters that were not usual and they got out

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,920
the gate very slow. They were down like close to

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,320
ten points right out the gate, and we're not able

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,359
to recover fast enough.

11
00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: So that was a loser.

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: One. I was frustrated with the Bucks did end up

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,479
taking the Bucks that went up by seventeen ended up

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:41,960
losing by eighteen, Like.

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,039
Speaker 1: What the hell happened? There?

16
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 3: So two losers.

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: The one winner I took was the Pacers and Clippers

18
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:51,679
over two twenty seven and a half. You know, hopefully

19
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,359
we did a little bit better than my one and

20
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:55,920
two day yesterday.

21
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yesterday was good. It could have been five and one,

22
00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:03,159
but it wound up four four in two. College was

23
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:09,159
two and zero. Boy, Florida State gave me a little

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,239
bit of concern at the end, but we won't get

25
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:14,120
into that. But the NBA and the reason why I

26
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,480
say it could have been five and one because I

27
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:18,120
had Portland team total over one twenty two and a

28
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,519
half and they got to one twenty two, So we

29
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,920
got hooked in. The Portland game came close, but we

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,560
did get the Atlanta Milwaukee game ski. I had full

31
00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:31,439
game over, so I included the Atlanta side, and we

32
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,079
got their full game over pretty easy. Where Milwaukee's concerned,

33
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,959
real quick. I will say this because the other day

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,840
I had their team total or maybe at full game

35
00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:45,040
total against Toronto.

36
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: It was over the weekend.

37
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:48,879
Speaker 4: They scored sixty six in the first half and didn't

38
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:51,000
get to one hundred for the game. Last night they

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,640
had seventy one at half and barely scored in the

40
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:58,079
second half. So there's something going. I mean, I don't

41
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,400
know what Glenn's halftime adjustments are, but they must be. Hey, listen,

42
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:06,959
don't score in the second half, because that one kind

43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,039
of got Milwaukee both team total wise and sidewise. The

44
00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:15,639
other winner last night was the one I left here,

45
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,960
and it was my biggest play of the night. Clippers

46
00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:21,319
team total over one twenty got the one thirty forty

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:27,800
two point first quarter, never in doubt had Okac. As

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,560
a matter of fact, last night they got beat. Now

49
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,280
that I think about it, I had them laying four.

50
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,199
They won by three.

51
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: That one made me mad.

52
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 4: See, I don't want to ramble too much here. We

53
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,520
got a lot to talk about, but that one made

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,439
me mad. Plus seven with a minute nineteen left. SGA

55
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:44,280
never sees the ball again on three possessions. It's either

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,639
lou Dort running people over and fouling out or chet

57
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,599
half ass in a three pointer. That doesn't you know,

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,800
they don't get folded on anything. Only put the ball

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,680
in SGA's hands. For goodness sakes, he's the only guy

60
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,680
at the end of the game. I've said it before

61
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:02,240
about that team. I'll say it again. They do have

62
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:06,400
Jared McCain now, but Isaiah Joe only pure shooter on

63
00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:08,840
that team. They don't have shooters. They got scores, but

64
00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:11,439
they do not have shooters. And at the end of

65
00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:13,240
that game, I was like, man, I don't want the

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,199
bail in anybody's hands. But Shay's didn't work out that way.

67
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,479
So let's get out to today.

68
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Enough of my ramp, all right, let's get it.

69
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: We have a good amount of games. I don't even

70
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,840
know that we should start at this one. I mean

71
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:28,280
how much time do we want to waste on the

72
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:32,479
tankathon Jazz versus the Wizards. Wizards are now four and

73
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:35,400
a half point favorite. Yeah, I'm not wasting a whole

74
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,759
lot of time here. It's over or nothing for me,

75
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,560
and I'm pretty sure it's.

76
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Going to be nothing. You know what do you got?

77
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:42,439
Speaker 3: Yeah?

78
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:45,039
Speaker 4: I would say over or nothing. Jazz scheduled pretty tough

79
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:48,719
at the Backs played Philly extreme. You want to know

80
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:50,520
how bad the Jazz want to lose. They're winning that

81
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,599
game with fifty seconds left to give up six straight

82
00:03:52,639 --> 00:03:56,680
points to lose. So I mean like they looked up

83
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,680
at the scoreboard clock and said, hell, no, you guys

84
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,599
score So you don't want either side. Trey Young will

85
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:05,520
play on a minute restriction tonight. I think I saw

86
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,159
seventeen to twenty minutes. But it would be over or

87
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,800
nothing in that game for me too.

88
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: All right, MAVs and the Magic, this one open mind

89
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:19,319
is eight and it's up to nine total right around

90
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,199
the opener. You have Anthony Black questionable, Window Carter questionable,

91
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:28,680
Isaac is questionable, Franz Wagner out for the MAVs. Clay

92
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:32,759
and Najie Marshall are both probable. Cooper Flag, Brandon Williams

93
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,959
both questionable and no Badley.

94
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like.

95
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: I didn't make some money with the Magic the other day,

96
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,920
but I just I hesitate a little bit with them here.

97
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:49,399
And it's not like the MAVs have been great, but

98
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,600
the MAVs have also been very injured. You could get

99
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,720
Cooper Flag back out there amongst you know, they've been

100
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,439
getting guys back little by little. Could be the healthiest

101
00:04:57,439 --> 00:05:00,839
Maths team we've seen in a while, and that could

102
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:02,199
be enough to stay within the number.

103
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,959
Speaker 1: That's my thought right now. What do you think here

104
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:06,360
of being on MAVs and Magic.

105
00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: Schedule has been hard? Right?

106
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 4: I think this is fourth and six for Dallas as

107
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,879
they get on this road trip. But I think the

108
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:15,800
other day we talked about it was the first of

109
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,319
a six game road trip they got trounced by Charlotte.

110
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,480
I know you had a number the other day, or

111
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,000
maybe it was just a not a number, but something.

112
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:29,240
You remember that Orlando against sub five hundred competition has

113
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,959
been really good at covering numbers. Orlando's on rest here.

114
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,199
I could see them getting the best of Dallas here too.

115
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:41,560
Dallas obviously not allowed to play for a very a

116
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:46,680
ton to lose for if they do get flag back, maybe,

117
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,519
but I don't think the only way I could look

118
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,279
here is Orlando. I just want to go back really

119
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,439
quick to the Washington Utah game for half a second.

120
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:55,360
Since we came out of the break, Washington has done

121
00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:58,759
nothing but play above five hundred teams. It's first time

122
00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:00,319
they get to play a sub five hundre the team

123
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:02,959
since they played Indianna. And I think they beat Indiana

124
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,160
twice back to back. So maybe Washington does pick on

125
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,000
Mousi teams.

126
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:07,399
Speaker 3: We'll see.

127
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: I have to say MAVs the Magic beat up on

128
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,959
the less stands. The MAVs could be better than the

129
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,160
lest stand tonight if everybody's available.

130
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: That's just my thought.

131
00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: If they're available, there's no way I could lay with

132
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:30,480
the Magic here. And I really, I really prefer the Mask.

133
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: The mass.

134
00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:35,079
Speaker 2: What they play tomorrow is it? Yeah, they play tomorrow,

135
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:40,480
But MAVs aren't looking ahead branded games the Magic they do.

136
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,639
It's the last game of a homestand I don't know

137
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,879
if you know, I want to try to get there

138
00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:47,879
with the Mavericks, but I guess I need I need

139
00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:54,040
more time and I need the injury report to.

140
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,759
Speaker 1: Shore up all right.

141
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: Next game of Warriors and Rockets opened up minus nine

142
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,079
and a half and it's down to eight and a

143
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,759
half total, open two fifteen and a half and it's

144
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:18,319
down as low as two thirteen. Injury report for the Warriors,

145
00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:23,240
Gary Payton is questionable, No Seth, Steph Moody, Porzingis or

146
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:27,240
Will Richard. For Rockets, Shangoon is questionable. Jabari Smith Junior

147
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:30,399
is questionable. I mean Thompson's questionable. I mean, it's a

148
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,680
lot could be missing for this Rockets team. How the

149
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,279
hell are you laying close to double digits. We're gonna

150
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:38,800
be missing all these guys or potentially missing all these guys.

151
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:42,120
I mean, the Warriors are not our team that's gonna

152
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,800
give up. They're not a team that's gonna tank, regardless

153
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,759
if they're stretches where they don't play well or not.

154
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:51,839
You know, as far as where Steph curries out of

155
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:54,519
his career, it's no tanking seasons.

156
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: And I just think you're.

157
00:07:56,639 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: Gonna get a really good effort from the Warriors, and

158
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,959
both teams are arrested. The Rockets, I think play tomorrow

159
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,360
who they play, They play the Blazers, tomorrow. It's like

160
00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:10,959
they really have a look ahead. But I just I

161
00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:12,360
could only take the Warriors here.

162
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,759
Speaker 1: What do you think they know?

163
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,519
Speaker 4: It's so different than the first time they played this year,

164
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,279
which was so long ago it seems like another season.

165
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:25,160
But Houston was out for revenge from the playoffs. In

166
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,759
that one, they held Golden State to like a hundred

167
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,159
points I think, or maybe less than one hundred points

168
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:32,840
in that game.

169
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,799
Speaker 3: Everybody played the guys.

170
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,799
Speaker 4: That played in that game for Golden State. I mean

171
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:43,039
Steph and Jimmy, even reserves Will Richard and Moody played

172
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,960
in that game. They couldn't get to a hundred. But

173
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,559
this just has such a different feel like Houston thinks

174
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,399
that's ay. I'm sure they're just resting guys because of it.

175
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:56,039
It's the front end of a back to back, But

176
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,240
they don't have seem to have the killer instinct I

177
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:03,519
will say, or want to win, desire to win, or

178
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,399
approve a point like they did the first time around.

179
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,480
So yes, you could see the underdog.

180
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: Here's what we know.

181
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,639
Speaker 4: Golden State's gonna shoot forty or more threes. If those

182
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:13,600
threes go in, you want to be on Golden State.

183
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,000
If they're not going in, then this game's an under,

184
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,919
which is where people have bet this thing already.

185
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: I think I just saw SKI two thirty.

186
00:09:21,919 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking right now too, thirteen and a half

187
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:28,279
off of the opener of two fifteen and a half,

188
00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:31,799
little downward movement on the Houston side.

189
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: I don't know.

190
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 4: I could see either one of those thought processes here.

191
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:37,000
If you think Golden State's gonna shoot it well because

192
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:40,480
Houston's resting guys, I could see plus eight and a half.

193
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,080
If you think that they're just gonna chuck and Houston's

194
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,679
out there for the thrill of it, I could see

195
00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:47,480
under as well.

196
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 3: So I probably wouldn't play that game. There's too much

197
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:50,720
going on there for me.

198
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: Rockets are ten and sixteen as a home favorite, and

199
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,440
they could be potentially without guys. I see Brian saying that.

200
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,919
I I don't know. If I say the guys are out,

201
00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:05,720
they're not out yet. They're questionable. Three guys questionable, but

202
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,799
you know, intensally missing those guys and you're already not

203
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,879
getting this role really makes me want to look there.

204
00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:16,080
There's one more thing I just wanted to check here.

205
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:20,679
That three you're talking about three point line, so I'm

206
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,480
just double checking some three point numbers. All right, I'm

207
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:27,039
not going to hold it up any longer. But I

208
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,639
like the Warriors here. I think the Warriors are the

209
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,879
right side in this game. Next one we have nets

210
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:41,519
and heat. Didn't we just have this game? It's and

211
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,879
I didn't want to look at it. Then I don't

212
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:44,559
want to look at it again. Now, I mean, I

213
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,519
got nothing to say here. I want nothing to do

214
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,480
with this game. You know, anything you got for him

215
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:50,039
on nets.

216
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: And you don't be so hasty. Now let me look.

217
00:10:58,639 --> 00:10:59,879
I looked at it the other day.

218
00:11:00,519 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: Cash for the Miami team total over the same exact price,

219
00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:06,279
ski the same thing one nineteen and a half, one

220
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:09,879
nineteen and a half again again here tonight they got

221
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:12,039
to one twenty four the other day. Don't see why

222
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,960
that doesn't happen again. So I was involved early on

223
00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:18,039
in this game playing Miami's team total over one nineteen

224
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,000
and a half for all the reasons that I said

225
00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:25,320
the other day, Miami pace Brooklyn's not caring much. We

226
00:11:25,399 --> 00:11:27,360
don't have to continue on. But I did play the

227
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:30,720
game so we can get onto Detroit, San Antonio.

228
00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:35,879
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, that's enough with that garbage.

229
00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:38,399
Speaker 3: I'm turning garbage into gold around here.

230
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: Ski, Yeah, you can do that. I'll take my cat

231
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:47,000
to you. You Pistons and Spurs is so much better.

232
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,080
One here opened up three and a half, hasn't really

233
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,440
moved total right around the opener as well as far

234
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,559
as an injury report, and I.

235
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: Should probably refresh.

236
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, so as far as injury report, I don't

237
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,600
see anybody on there for the Pistons.

238
00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: For the Spurs, Harrison.

239
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,039
Speaker 2: Barnes, Ingram and Plumbley looked like they missed this game.

240
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: Spurs.

241
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: It's a tough spot for them coming They are coming

242
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:17,320
off a forty point win. Say that, but it's the

243
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,600
first game home off of a what I think a

244
00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:22,200
five game road trip there, and it's the front of

245
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,919
a back to back for them. Pretty tough interesting spot

246
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:31,200
for the Spurs. Have been playing good basketball though. The Pistons,

247
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,759
I'm pretty sure they've covered. Yeah, they's seven and oh

248
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,759
as a road underdog so far.

249
00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:37,399
Speaker 1: You know it?

250
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: Is it just one plus win equals two? Is this

251
00:12:40,279 --> 00:12:42,600
the Pistons covered the spread? Or what are you looking

252
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,240
at in this game?

253
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

254
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:47,159
Speaker 4: I thought the most important thing when I looked at it, Ski,

255
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,799
was the schedule for seeing Antonio. They had to close

256
00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:54,200
that road trip out with a win. I think they

257
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,639
had lost the prior game. They also lost to the

258
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,879
Knicks on that road trip, and Philly didn't have him

259
00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:04,200
be that night. They just ran Philly off the court.

260
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:07,120
Now we talk about it all the time. Again, first

261
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,360
home game after a long road trip. I don't want

262
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:14,039
san Antonio Detroit again. It's repetitive. They play hard against everybody.

263
00:13:14,039 --> 00:13:16,279
They have the front behind the matchup, They have the

264
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:19,559
physicality to match up. They probably have the depth to

265
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,159
match up. One thing san Antonio usually has over other

266
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,960
teams is it's they're so deep with quality players coming

267
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,720
off the bench. Detroit's the same way. I think Detroit

268
00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:30,039
might be right they you know, they have to test

269
00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:33,320
the waters all season long. Where they're at right now,

270
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,080
especially against Western powers like san Antonio. I fully believe

271
00:13:38,159 --> 00:13:41,600
Detroit will come ready to play. I'm tilted that direction.

272
00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:44,559
Haven't played it yet, but I do have Detroit plus

273
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,080
the three and a half as a potential play here today.

274
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: Detroit plus three and a half, yeah, I get it.

275
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:54,399
Speaker 4: Well.

276
00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: Two things are holding me up. One I hate betting

277
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:05,279
against the Spurs. Two I need Spurs wins still for futures,

278
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:08,159
and I really hate to root against that, and I'd

279
00:14:08,159 --> 00:14:09,159
be really pissed off.

280
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,759
Speaker 1: I could make.

281
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,759
Speaker 2: Myself really upset tonight, but I'm betting aside that makes

282
00:14:14,759 --> 00:14:17,360
me want to stay away. The total is pretty appealing though,

283
00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:21,879
Like these are two of the number two and number

284
00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:25,679
three defensive ready teams, right the spot that I talked

285
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,600
about for the Spurs.

286
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,559
Speaker 1: I like to think that that's gonna.

287
00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:33,919
Speaker 2: You know, and then that forty point win that they had,

288
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,840
they shot forty percent from three, and I'll come back

289
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,200
home after that long road trip.

290
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,279
Speaker 1: I think the offense is gonna be flat.

291
00:14:40,639 --> 00:14:43,559
Speaker 2: I think the defense can still show up, especially in

292
00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:46,000
the top matchup like this, So regression on offense is

293
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,240
what I'm thinking here, and two really good defensive teams,

294
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,720
so I think under if I had to play the

295
00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:57,200
side out play Pistons. Next, we have Raptors and t

296
00:14:57,399 --> 00:15:00,840
Wolves opening up minus seven for the Wolves is we'll

297
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:03,240
call it four and a half, tot open two twenty

298
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,440
seven and a half down to two twenty five, and

299
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:10,480
we did get it ANT downgraded, right, so let's just.

300
00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Where we can have that.

301
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: I don't see there yet. ANT questionable Clark is questionable.

302
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,759
Ingles is out, Rhino, you have Ingram questionable cnb out.

303
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,840
I mean, I think that Ingram is more important to

304
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,440
me to the Raptors. If I want to cover a

305
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,120
point spread, then ANT with the Wolves. Like I've seen

306
00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:37,399
this Wolves team play pretty pretty good and you know,

307
00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:40,519
cover games without Ant. It would make me scared to

308
00:15:40,559 --> 00:15:42,919
death to back the Raptors if Ingram is rolled out

309
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,320
in this game. And I was the guy who was

310
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,159
leaning the Raptors, you know, all day, but I told

311
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,159
you was holding me up. What do you think you're you.

312
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: Know well, and you wanted to back the Raptors at

313
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,720
the opener of seven Minnesota second worst points per a

314
00:16:01,799 --> 00:16:04,559
team in the league. You've gone over to a number

315
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:07,320
of times, especially when they're laying points in the seven

316
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:10,000
plus range, not necessarily four and a half. But they

317
00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:12,399
don't cover spread twenty six and thirty six against the spread.

318
00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:15,720
They're only eleven and seventeen at home against the spread

319
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:18,639
as a favorite, so it's not a good role for

320
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,799
them to begin with. And Toronto, if nothing else, has

321
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:25,639
been playing pretty solid defense. Did lose or not lose,

322
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:29,159
But we had Toronto, New York on the show the

323
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,759
other day and I was building a foundation for Toronto

324
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,360
which didn't come true. The Knicks just happened to own

325
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:39,399
that team this year. I thought there were a lot

326
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,080
of things going for Toronto in that game that didn't happen.

327
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,039
Now they take to the road. I always think that

328
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,399
the first game of road trip is the most important one,

329
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,480
so I would expect them to be motivated here. I

330
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:52,240
just I wish I was getting seven rather than four

331
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,360
and a half. Agree on Ingram his length to on

332
00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:58,399
the defensive side is a little bit bothersome. I'm not

333
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,000
interested anymore Ski, but I can think of anti Minnesota

334
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,320
stuff all day long.

335
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,279
Speaker 2: In this case, yeah, the I mean obviously the opening number.

336
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:14,160
But you know, in the NBA nowadays, I'd rather have

337
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,000
certainty with the lineup, you know, than trying to, you know,

338
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,720
rush to go be the number. So if you know

339
00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:24,720
I missed out and I missed out, I'm not betting

340
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,160
the Raptors without Inger. I'm telling you right now, I'm

341
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:34,079
not doing it. All right, Sons and Bulls, open up.

342
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:35,839
Mine's eleven and a half for the Suns down to

343
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,599
ten and a half total right around the opener for

344
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,799
this game. For injuries, I mean Dylan Brooks is out,

345
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,599
Good one is out, Williams is out for the Bulls.

346
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,839
Boozelli's Skiddy are both questionable. Smith and Williams are doubtful.

347
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,000
Ivy and Simon's are out. Seems like too much banged up,

348
00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:58,000
too much. I mean, I can understand, I mean the

349
00:17:58,039 --> 00:18:01,319
injury report why the Sons are just big of a favorite.

350
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,640
But it doesn't mean I'll bet them. So if I

351
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:11,160
have to play this game, maybe it's the Suns. I

352
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,160
would ask you this, you know, would you rather bet

353
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,279
on the Suns defense or offense for this game?

354
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: Or is it just yeah, I did bet and I

355
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:22,839
bet on their offense. It's probably a little both. Ski

356
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,440
I faded Chicago's defense and bet on the Suns offense.

357
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,720
With Booker back, now, for a couple of games one

358
00:18:27,799 --> 00:18:31,119
seventeen and a half, Bulls haven't played any defense. They

359
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,519
have since the last couple of games. Chicago's offense Scots

360
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,519
showed some life, but they were lifeless like the five prior.

361
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,160
That's what kept me off full game, especially potentially no

362
00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:45,759
giddy kept me off full game total.

363
00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: Rather isolate Phoenix.

364
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:50,519
Speaker 4: I think they could get into the one twenties against

365
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:53,400
this defense. At home here tonight. So for me, it's

366
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,440
Phoenix over one seventeen and a half team total already

367
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,200
played it, so there's no getting out of it now.

368
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: What was the number one's seventeen and a half?

369
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,319
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it is very very doable. Dropping Dome seems

370
00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:12,640
to agree with you in the chat, so seems like

371
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,160
a good player right there. Lakers and Nuggets opened up five.

372
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,519
Still looks like five. Total did go up a little

373
00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:19,960
bit from two thirty eight and a half to two

374
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,319
forty one to forty one and a half. As far

375
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:27,200
as the injuries, Cam Johnson's questionable, Aaron Gordon is out,

376
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,440
Jones Watson both out as well. For the Lakers, Maxi

377
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:36,839
Pleiba is questionable. You know, I had to talk about,

378
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,319
you know, Adamman, you know, saying the Nuggets need to

379
00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:43,079
play some defense, and they were doing it, and maybe

380
00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:46,319
he got to a spot where, you know, it was

381
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,160
just too much fatigue built up and they gave up

382
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,839
one to twenty five to the Jazz. I'd like to

383
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,039
think that after two days off, they get back to

384
00:19:56,079 --> 00:19:59,160
trying to play some of that defense. Can't we trust

385
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,359
the Lakers to play any defense? Though the Lakers have

386
00:20:02,519 --> 00:20:06,599
held their past three opponents under one oh five, although

387
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,039
they have been the best opponents. So I'm curious here,

388
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,559
you know, do you think it's more undergame overgame? The

389
00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:17,799
market think's over? What do you how you see it?

390
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's still hard for me to get to anything

391
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:24,720
Denver underrelated. I mean the last three games, Okay, see

392
00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:26,960
was over time. I get it, but they still gave

393
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:30,079
up one twenty seven, come back and give up one

394
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,000
seventeen to the to the Timberwolves, and then, like you say,

395
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,960
on the back to back situation with travel, they gave

396
00:20:37,039 --> 00:20:38,960
up one twenty five to you. So I probably just

397
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,759
went through the motions. But until Aaron Gordon comes back,

398
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:45,799
and you know, we made this comment a while back.

399
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,079
With the injury list, it took a lot of defense

400
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,480
away from this team, a lot of energy away from

401
00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:55,160
this team. They're good offensively, still not good defensively. It

402
00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:57,279
is the front end of a back to back. They

403
00:20:57,319 --> 00:21:00,680
have the Knicks coming in here tomorrow. I don't know

404
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:03,599
that one game is more important to Denver than the other.

405
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,759
You would assume that the Laker game would be more

406
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:08,720
important because it's Western Conference, but I think they're both

407
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,200
of pretty strong importance. We'll see if they rest anybody

408
00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:17,319
tomorrow night. Denver hasn't been a team to rest players

409
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,440
in the second of back to backs, probably because they've

410
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:25,160
just been so depth shy that you can't. I couldn't

411
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,680
get to an under here in this game. I almost

412
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,920
I'd say I didn't play it, but I almost took

413
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,240
the Lakers plus the points, just thinking that I couldn't

414
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,599
trust Denver to stop anybody. But as soon as I

415
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,000
say that, on the other side of my brain says,

416
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:41,519
you can't trust the Lakers to stop anybody either, So

417
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,240
maybe I should be playing over here. We'll see if

418
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,400
Adaman's plea. His plea is definitely for them to go

419
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,119
anywhere in the playoffs, they need to play defense just

420
00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:56,640
I don't know, maybe it was fatigue Ski, but they

421
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,799
don't show me except for one small spot against the

422
00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:02,759
Celtics I think it was or whoever they the.

423
00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:06,079
Speaker 2: Defense in that game versus the Thunder that was. That

424
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,079
was a dead nuts under game. So it really was

425
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,759
like I had no clue how they even got to

426
00:22:13,799 --> 00:22:16,319
the overtime and got all those points. It was a

427
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,839
dead under defensive game. And after that overtime, playing on

428
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,200
the back to back. You give it one to twenty

429
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,279
five to the Jazz. I can't fought you for that.

430
00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:31,640
I like under I like Underveno. They neither team playing

431
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,160
with pace here last five games you got what. I'm sorry.

432
00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:38,400
This is not last five games on the season. Either

433
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,400
team plays a pace, but last five games twenty second

434
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,720
and sixteenth. Last five games, like I said, Lakers, at

435
00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:49,839
least the last three games have been playing better defense.

436
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,039
I think it's a defensive game. Yeah, I like, I

437
00:22:55,119 --> 00:23:04,319
like the under right. Last game on a slate, another

438
00:23:06,079 --> 00:23:10,200
disaster game, Pelicans and Kings. I guess it's better than

439
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,799
some of the other ones. Opened a four and a half,

440
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,519
up as high as six and a half. Now total

441
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:17,119
also up from two thirty one and a half to

442
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,960
two thirty five. Keeping it, I mean, Murphy and Zion

443
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:26,079
are questionable. Murray's out. So that makes me really not

444
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,559
want to play the game, because I was leaning Pelicans

445
00:23:28,599 --> 00:23:32,720
and over before I saw that. For the Kings, Cartwell's out,

446
00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:35,880
Murray's out. This is an easy, easy stay away Rob,

447
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,680
you know, but do you have anything you can recommend

448
00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:40,279
in Pelicans and Kings?

449
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,759
Speaker 3: Not here? I don't ski. I'm with you.

450
00:23:42,799 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 4: That's probably and plus this one would just keep me

451
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,839
up till one in the morning trying to cash. I

452
00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:49,359
don't need to be up to one in the morning

453
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,519
watching this beg and for a winner. So I had

454
00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:55,160
a couple other things I like better. Really nothing to

455
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,000
add here. I mean probably if somebody had the proverbial

456
00:23:58,039 --> 00:24:00,680
gun to head, it would be total over or nothing.

457
00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:05,079
And neither of these teams are good at the defensive end.

458
00:24:05,759 --> 00:24:10,759
And for what it's worth, Sacramento did beat Dallas and

459
00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:16,480
Memphis teams in the same category as as New Orleans

460
00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:20,440
two thirty seven and two fifty one in those two games.

461
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,839
It's part of their last five. The other three in

462
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,880
those last five are Houston, Lakers and Phoenix, so no

463
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,319
shame in losing those. But the two times they got

464
00:24:29,319 --> 00:24:33,559
a team and in this weight class New Orleans, they

465
00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:35,519
did win them both and both did go over.

466
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm done with that one.

467
00:24:43,079 --> 00:24:43,319
Speaker 4: Be no.

468
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: Close the book on that one.

469
00:24:47,599 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, best bedtime.

470
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: But before we do, I was trying to just double

471
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,319
check some of these promos because I still still was slacking.

472
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: But what was it the same? Right?

473
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: The three buy a three day, you get three days

474
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,200
for free. So if you like to be involved with

475
00:25:05,319 --> 00:25:07,759
Ralphie or myself. That is a good way to do it.

476
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,799
Other than that, you know, I'm going to pass it

477
00:25:10,799 --> 00:25:12,359
to you and ask you if there's anything else you'd

478
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,319
like to promote, and if you have a best.

479
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 1: Bet for the show, feel free.

480
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 2: I mean, if you have the best bet for a show,

481
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:18,640
we'd love to hear it.

482
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: If you have more promo, feel free.

483
00:25:21,839 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know we're coming up on it. It's more

484
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,559
appropriate for it tomorrow than it is for today. But

485
00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:31,880
it continue to offer Weekend Warrior All Sports packaged so

486
00:25:32,039 --> 00:25:34,400
you can get all the NBA and all the college

487
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,759
for just forty nine for a full Saturday and Sunday,

488
00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:40,720
which will be loaded this Saturday and Sunday. As far

489
00:25:40,759 --> 00:25:44,400
as College coopid NBA are concerned, so that we could

490
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,160
talk a little bit more about that tomorrow, but that

491
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,839
still is on the board offer from Wager Talk.

492
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 3: Here's ski. I'm gonna make it simple. I won the

493
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:53,400
other night.

494
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 4: I don't see why I wouldn't win tonight again. With

495
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,319
Miami team total over one nineteen and a half against Brooklyn,

496
00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:00,279
Miami going.

497
00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 3: To do what they dout.

498
00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 4: Miami's still in a divisional battle here, not the division

499
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,920
means everything, conference standings mean more, but they still have

500
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,839
an opportunity here inside their division while Atlanta is on

501
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,000
a hot streak and Orlando stumbles around. So I like

502
00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:18,880
the heat to take advantage of Brooklyn's defense here in

503
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,279
a big way. Team total over one nineteen and a half.

504
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,279
Speaker 2: Very good stuff, Ravino for myself. Yeah, if you I

505
00:26:28,319 --> 00:26:31,440
mean basketball has been going pretty well, I think I'm up.

506
00:26:31,759 --> 00:26:35,039
I'm around maybe fifty six or fifty seven units on basketball.

507
00:26:35,079 --> 00:26:42,279
I did lose yesterday, but again I haven't made a play,

508
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,720
and then I have a lot that I'm looking at.

509
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,319
I just I've been doing pretty good taking my time.

510
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,279
Something stands out and I have to bet it right away.

511
00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: I will. I don't like giving out best that I.

512
00:26:54,039 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: Haven't made, so broke down the games. I told you

513
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,759
what I'm looking at. I'm just gonna leave it like

514
00:26:59,799 --> 00:27:04,880
that for today. You know, I appreciate you taking the

515
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,680
time to break the games down with me. That's my process.

516
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,559
I'm sure we help everybody else out there as well

517
00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:15,240
and chat. We appreciate you all tuning in supporting the show,

518
00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:18,119
bringing the winners that you know, you guys research as well.

519
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,880
A lot of great cappers and just great people, so

520
00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:22,480

521
00:27:22,519 --> 00:27:24,640
