Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody, Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks.
If you are new, we do always start the show
by being transparent. Yesterday was another good day, all right, man.
I wish I pushed the button on those Phoenix suns.
I called them my dog of the day. I didn't
actually push the button, but my one winner was in
college basketball Houston first half minus thirteen and a half
relatively easy. So this week has been pretty good. We've
won six out of seven bets and we'll try to
keep that going as the week ends, or it's coming
to an end. No robbno today. Rob is traveling. I'll
be linking up with him out here in Vegas very soon,
so today's show would be a little bit different. And
you know, all these college games going on right now,
we don't want to be spending too much time talking
about you know this NBA. Everybody wants to watch the games,
et cetera. So this will be a quick hitter show.
To answer this question, we go live. I mean, for one,
me and Rob always have other stuff going on, but
we go live. You know when we're confident with whatever
we have, and you know when we're ready. So we're
not going to rush to go live. We're trying to
just come on here, give good information, give winners when
we're ready, that's the answer. But up, Jeff Brian in
the building. Yeah, Luca killing, Lakers killing, love it. You
got you already know, prolific. Roveno is on the road.
All right, appreciate you guys in the chat. Let's get
to the games. I'm not gonna put up any banners.
Like I said, today would be just a quick hitters show.
So this first game Warriors and Pistons opened up as
a five. Still see five or four and a half out.
There a lot of additions to the injury We're not
you know, within the past thirty minutes. I believe Cad
is out, Sasser's out, Isaiah Stewart is out, Moore is out.
You got Kevin Herder and Jalen During both questionable for
the Warriors, LJS probable. No Steph or Seth Curry, Corford
Moodie both out and post out as well. This is
the first game of a back to back for the Warriors.
They play the Hawks tomorrow and then for the Pistons
the second of a back to back. They're coming off
of a win versus the Wizards. They beat them by
twenty two points, so slight rest advantage for the Warriors
here standings wise. I mean, the Warriors are in the
play in. I don't think they're too in danger of
you know, falling out of the play in, but I
know they still are motivated to try to move up
and win some games. This Detroit team, I think they're
motivated too. I mean, what are they like, four games
maybe ahead of the Celtics, something like that. The Celtics
are on their hills and having no kid. You know,
it's gonna be tough. You're gonna have to get a
really good effort from everybody every night to try to
maintain that top seed over there. You know, I can't
help but think it's just too much missing for this
Pistons team. My bad, Sorry, you guys have to sneeze
so bad. Too much missing for this Pistons team. I
want to say that the Warriors can win this game.
I think that you'll get the better effort they have
the you know, they have more energy for this game.
I think the Pistons might even have a couple of
days off. Let me double check. Yeah, Pistons have two
days off after this game, I kind of almost feel
like they just I don't feel like you get a
good effort from them. Tonight. I would look to back
them after they get those two days off, even without
k just in general, but tonight I would look towards
the Warriors. Tommy says he has them in his pocket,
Brian looking that way as well, and that's some other
guys in the chat. Next game, Knicks and Nets. You know,
I have to talk about this one too much. Open
seventeen and a half, still their total right around the opener.
I mean, MPG out man now, clowney out, McBride out
hard out Towns questionable. This Nets team they stink, man,
It's just they stink. They've given up. It seems like
not even really getting to one hundred points in games
or clearing one hundred points in games. They've been down
at halftime by big margins. You know, I think the
last four or five games something like that. I can't
back the Nets. There's no way I could back the
Nets here. It would be Nick's probably first half for one,
to avoid the big number, and yeah, I probably just
you know, if I'm back in the next it will
be first half. But also maybe in a hunder in
this game, maybe even a NETT team total under or
first half under. It's just that that NETS team really
struggles to score. So that's the directions that I'm looking
at there. Hawks and Rockets opened up three and a half,
and I'm seeing three or three and a half depending
where you shot. Total went up a little bit from
two twenty six to two twenty six and a half.
I'm sorry it's up. Besides two twenty seven and a half.
You have Kamena out for this game for the Rockets
as right now, you just have tight out. The Rockets
have lost a couple of games, back to back games
versus Lakers. Let me pull this up here. They've lost
back to back games versus Lakers. They do also play
tomorrow versus the Heat, but they haven't had to travel.
They've been at home since the thirteenth, so they at
least have that going for them. There's been a lot
of home games for the Hawks, but they are coming
off of a road game, playing again on the road
in Houston. The Hawks have won eleven in a row
and they are underdogs. It feels like if you know,
if you've been around, if you know me, you know
I'll look at this and then it feels like they're
begging you to take the Hawks, and I don't like
when I feel like, you know they're they're begging me
to take one side. I mean, how do you win
eleven games in a row and you're giving me points here?
I just I know Houston is desperate for a win.
Like I said, they haven't really had to travel, they're healthy,
they just haven't been playing the best of basketball. Houston
is a team that I feel like they could struggle
with the good teams. They could beat the bad teams,
and even though Atlanta's won eleven in a row, I
don't know a lot of those wins were versus nobody's. Like,
I'm still not ready to call Atlanta that good of
a team. I think they're I mean, they're good, but
they're not elite, and the elite team that are once
Houston struggles with, I think it could be a chance
for Houston to get right here tonight. As much as
I don't like this team, I think the spot is
for Houston tonight. Current A recent form absolutely says Atlanta,
but I'm not buying it. In this one. I would
not be on the Atlanta to night. Can't push that,
but it'd be it'd be Rockets right now, as much
as it pains me to say that, And I'm not
sure that I'll get the window because at the end
of the day, you know, if you've been around, you know,
I have future bets and I still need the Rockets
to lose games, so I don't really want to betting
on them to win at this time of the year.
But that's how I see this individual game. Next we
have Portland and Minnesota opened up minus two and a half,
still two and a half out there, photo open two
twenty eight and a half and it's up besides two
thirty one and a half. No ant again tonight. Nas
Reed is also questionable for the Blazers. Sharp remains out
crazy as questionable. I feel like I feel like the
Timberwolves do play good without an They've done it multiple
times throughout the year, but I just don't know. I
feel like this is more of a Blazer spot here.
Timberwolves havn't had to play extended time without it. I
don't think like, yeah, teams usually step up for a game,
you know, when the star player goes out or a
game or two, but we have to start doing it
first ended period. I don't know how much I trust
that their Timberwolves are coming off of a thirty six
point win versus Jazz, or that they beat the Huns
by twelve. The Blazers, they're coming off back to back wins,
all on the road. Fourth straight road game is looking
like here. This one is really tough, really really tough.
I'm just it's not a whole lot of times you're
going to see me lay points with the Timberwolves, no
matter how many points it is. So I'm like the
chat conflicted Blazers Timberwolves. I do think the Blazers can win.
I think I would prefer the Blazers in this spot.
Next we have Boston and Memphis. This one open fourteen
and a half. Looks like fourteen a half or fifteen
total hasn't moved too much injury report for Boston. Bustovic
is out for Memphis, TODJ. Gibson is doubtful, Gigi Jackson, Dutfo, Clark,
Mayshuk and Moran all out. This Grizzlies team, I mean,
they're not really able to get too many stops. Whenever
you have tied Jerome in the lineup, the offense looks
a lot better. They should be able to score now
I say that, but Boston's defense very capable, and you
do have some guys who could maybe, you know, make tie.
Jerome have to really work here tonight, so that would
worry me. That's what's worried me so far. But in general,
I do trust the Grizzlies offense when Jerome is active,
and I don't trust their defense. For the Celtics, I
think they could really name your number. I consider the
Celtics team total. I like to think Grizzlies can contribute.
I really do. I don't know how focused Boston is
on the Grizzlies. You know, fifteen points here. What games
do the Celtics have coming up? This is not the
front of a back to back or anything. Celtics actually
play the Timberwolves next. And the Celtics have been at
home for a few games, just their first road game
in about a week. Yeah, this is tough. This is
pretty pretty tough. I will say the Grizzlies those games
like they're they're nine and three. I'm sorry, they're nine
and four. Ats with Tights row Man, they're ten and
three to the over. I really want to want to
try to back the Grizzlies are over. That's what I'm
looking at. Their appreciate you. Prolific reminded that everybody to
hit the light button and we'll move over to the
last game. That's the Nuggets and the Raptors opened up
minus six for the Nuggets now seven total is skyrocketing
from two thirty two as high as two thirty eight
and a half seeing them be as doubtful Peyton Watson
is out. You do have the Nuggets coming off of
a loss in this one, and just off memory, Nuggets
have been pretty good after they lose a game, and
this Raptors team, I feel like another team that can
beat up on the bums and struggle with the better teams.
At least that's my thought. That's my thought about them.
Looking at the Raptors. They are coming off three straight wins.
I mean, the Raptors do have a lot to play
for both teams do. As far as the standings are concerned.
I'm just you know, I'm not a believer. Im betting
against the Nuggets off of a loss, so I will
look towards the Nuggets. I would agree with the over
don't trust the Nuggets defense. And yeah, that's so I
see the game. So that will be the today, quicken
and easy. You know, it's not the best late, not
too much to love, and I know nobody's focused on college,
so we'll leave it at that. We'll remind everybody about
these these offers. If you'd like to be involved, you
can buy three days, get three days free, comes out
to six days for just sixty nine dollars. You can
rock out for an entire year if you will like
comes out to under four dollars per day, and you
will receive a twenty five percent bonus. Keep on along
with that. If you want to rock with a Vino
and myself in the NBA, you can get that three
days for fifty nine dollars. And we both have been hot.
I mean, we've made money every day this week. So
it's a good time to get involved. And that's how
I'm going to end the show for today. So best
of luck everybody. I know it's a big, big weekend
basketball wise, college basketball. Best of luck on all your action.

back on Monday, but if not, you know, I'll be
back and we should have a much better Slate, so
best of luck and we'll catch you all later
