1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: What's going on? Everybody? Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks. 2 00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:08,800 If you are new, we do always start this show 3 00:00:08,839 --> 00:00:12,279 by being transparent. Did don't do any shows over the weekend, 4 00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:16,519 but the weekend was good for me. I believe I 5 00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:20,519 went seven and two, so profitable weekend. See if we 6 00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:22,679 can roll that over here into this week be no 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,160 good to be back with you as everything on your end. 8 00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:29,399 Speaker 2: Things are good over here. Ski Friday night was another 9 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:36,079 good NBA night, and yesterday was one loss with Orlando 10 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,600 team total, so NBA I believe since last Monday is 11 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,439 now seven and two, last nine moving along pretty well. 12 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,520 College Hoop was ten and five over the weekend to 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,479 increase what we've been doing since December one. That's been good. 14 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,320 So yeah, and nothing to complain about except the four 15 00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:58,399 degree weather with wins out here behind my back freezing 16 00:00:58,399 --> 00:00:59,520 my ass off over here. 17 00:01:00,759 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't sound like a lot of fun. 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: No, it's cool. Other than that, we're good. All right. 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: Well, let's see we do have an early game going today. 20 00:01:09,359 --> 00:01:12,760 We have a few other games today, not the biggest slate, 21 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,040 but should still be some money out there. So we'll 22 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,519 start with top of the rotation five fifty one five 23 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,400 fifty two. New Orleans and Charlotte opened up minus six 24 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,359 and a half looks like six and a half or 25 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,519 seven total open two thirty three and a half, looks 26 00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:30,400 like it's down two thirty and a half, two thirty one, 27 00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:33,840 something like that. For New Orleans. Everybody looks like they're 28 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,920 they're going to be available in that one. I mean 29 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,519 minus We know de Jonte Mary hasn't been playing for 30 00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:43,120 the Hornets. Same two suspects, plumb Lee and kJ Simpson 31 00:01:43,239 --> 00:01:46,760 are out. Besides that, the rest of the game seems 32 00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:51,879 to be available. These Hornets man playing basket basketball in 33 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,079 the Association right now. As far as for January, at least, 34 00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:04,359 it felt like Pelicans very inconsistent. I mean, I haven't 35 00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:05,920 thought of the Hornets as a team to lay with, 36 00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:08,120 but I mean that's how they're playing right now. Rob 37 00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:11,400 you know, is that how you attack this one? Or 38 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,319 what do you think about the total going down as well? 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: Well? Couple, I think it's hard to be anti Charlotte 40 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,120 right now. Even Charles Lee, the head coach, came out 41 00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:25,680 and talked about how connected the group is, and they 42 00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:28,319 really are. They're playing great. I think we hit on 43 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,560 it a couple of times over the course of the 44 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,319 last week's ski about how good their defense has been. 45 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,479 But I got some numbers to put to that. The 46 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,039 last month, so the month of January, the Charlotte Hornets 47 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,599 defensive efficiency was down to one point zero five to nine. 48 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,800 Points per possessions are one point zero six. Just to 49 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,960 put it into some context, Oklahoma City is the best 50 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,879 defensive team in the league for the entire season. There's 51 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,520 this one point zero seven so for the last month 52 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,039 they're playing and on the defensive level that Oklahoma City 53 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,039 has been on all season long. And when Charlotte plays 54 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,520 that kind of defense, it's tough to bet against them 55 00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:12,840 because they can score the basketball. Now, the other thing 56 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,800 that I thought about here with Charlotte is they got 57 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:21,439 Philadelphia in this same weather situation last week, right bad 58 00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:24,719 weather in Charlotte, Philly had to have the game in Charlotte, 59 00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:26,639 had to be pushed up to like three o'clock in 60 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,919 the afternoon Eastern time, which this one is, and Charlotte 61 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,479 destroyed them. Philly never got on track. It was like 62 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,280 one thirty to I forget the final there, but it 63 00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:37,759 wasn't closed. One thirty to ninety three is what it 64 00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:40,319 was win by thirty seven. I just wonder if New 65 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,680 Orleans isn't caught up in the same type of thing here. 66 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,080 Game time has moved up, Charlotte should be ready. New 67 00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:50,960 Orleans has not been bad covering numbers as of late 68 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:55,439 five and two last seven, so that's good. But I 69 00:03:55,599 --> 00:03:58,280 just even with all their guys in, I don't know 70 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:01,439 that the spot sets up well for New Orleans. So 71 00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:05,599 I'd probably looks Charlotte based on the fact that their defense. 72 00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:09,319 I guess you could say now in this case and 73 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,639 in many other cases with Charlotte opponents, that the defensive 74 00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:16,160 disparity between Charlotte and their opponent is pretty significant at 75 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,759 this point in time, the way Charlotte's playing, and of course, 76 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,480 like I say, they seem to have a true pecking order. 77 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,120 We're scoring is concerned now it looks like Brandon Miller's 78 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,120 the guy. Then it just follows from there, got a 79 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,800 lot of guys that can put it in the basket. 80 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,040 So for me, it would probably be a small look 81 00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:37,439 towards Charlotte here, just because I think this three o'clock 82 00:04:37,519 --> 00:04:39,800 time start, it kind of reminds me exactly of what 83 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,759 happened to Philadelphia they got ambushed in this spot a 84 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,240 week ago. 85 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's the reason for the time move up. 86 00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:49,319 I don't know, I didn't think about that again, but 87 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,040 definitely could affect them. Pelicans might not even want to 88 00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:56,439 play today, so it could be a situation where Hornets 89 00:04:56,519 --> 00:05:00,399 run away once again. Could call out there to keep 90 00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:02,439 moving to the next game. That is. The Rockets and 91 00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:06,160 Pacers opened up minus seven and a half. Looks like 92 00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:08,360 six and a half total keeps coming down from two 93 00:05:08,439 --> 00:05:11,920 twenty three to two eighteen and a half. Durant is 94 00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:14,639 out fleet. We know he's been out over topping it 95 00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:18,920 as well. For the Pacers. I believe this is the 96 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:25,879 first game for the Rockets this season without Kevin Durant, So, uh, 97 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,120 it's interesting what they're gonna look like. I know they 98 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,199 depend on him a lot. You know, they need to 99 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,360 scoring and shooting. Yeah, buckets are gonna have to come 100 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,720 from somewhere. You know, other people might have to step up. 101 00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:39,720 But it'll be interesting to see what they look like 102 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,639 for the Pacers and getting finally getting healthy here at 103 00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:46,519 the house, you know, I don't know, it's kind of 104 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:49,160 appealing to take that plus plus six and a half. 105 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,279 How you feel about it. 106 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, we talk about cohesion in lineups an awful lot. 107 00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:57,800 And when you take Kevin Durant out, not only you know, 108 00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:01,920 the obvious is the point subtraction, right, he contributed so 109 00:06:01,959 --> 00:06:06,360 many points, But the other is, you know, the ball movement, 110 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,160 the situational when you get it to Durant, and I 111 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,199 mean the whole thing just gets kind of discombobulated for 112 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,879 a time here with Durant out. So I don't know 113 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,399 that Houston will be the most fluid looking offense, but 114 00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:22,639 they could rely on their defense here. I mean, they've 115 00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:28,439 played five consecutive unders, and they haven't necessarily scored a 116 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,480 bunch of points lately anyway, one eleven, one oh four 117 00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:37,040 ninety nine eight one eleven. Houston hasn't been on this 118 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,279 scoring rampage, played a couple of pretty good defenses in there. 119 00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:44,519 So I don't know that I would be looking towards 120 00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:46,759 the Houston side in this game. It would probably be 121 00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:50,720 a little more towards Under or Indiana. I think Houston 122 00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:53,079 will try to rely on defense, but covering six and 123 00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:56,839 a half, that's probably a little bit of a tall 124 00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,800 task here in this instance. If it goes the way 125 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,160 I see it going, you know, whereas Houston's just not 126 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:06,759 the on the offensive end. They're just not as as 127 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,279 fluid as they've been in the past. So probably I 128 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,279 didn't play the game. Probably a small look at under here, 129 00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:14,560 just because Houston has been really really good on the 130 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,199 defensive end last five or six and they have been 131 00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:24,519 scoring with Durant anyway. 132 00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:24,519 Speaker 1: Um, yeah, they probably will struggle even more that I 133 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,439 can understand why that total is dropping like that. Brian 134 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,720 likes the Pacers as Rockets have Boston on deck. Joey 135 00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:34,879 reminded everybody to smashed the light button appreciate that. Brian 136 00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:38,240 also says Rockets fifteen and two to the under likes 137 00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:42,600 that under at different things out there in the chat. 138 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,920 Somebody's got to step up for this Rockets team. Who's 139 00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:49,879 it going to be. It's gonna be Man Thompson, Shangoon. 140 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,839 Oh no, I would like Tyr Easton the most people 141 00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:55,680 probably do too, but that's the guy that I would 142 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,240 bet on that one dropping dime, says Pacers team total. 143 00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:04,399 I mean, Rockets have been playing good defense though, like 144 00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:07,439 Rob said, that's what would hold me off of that. 145 00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:12,439 All right, next game up kind of got hiccups here 146 00:08:12,439 --> 00:08:14,240 a little bit or something. I don't know what's going on. 147 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,959 Minnesota and Memphis open to minus seven and a half. 148 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,639 And this is strange because I see a lot of 149 00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:24,560 I see seven and a half, I see a six, 150 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:26,639 I see a six and a half. It's all over 151 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:29,839 the place. So maybe we're getting some kind of news 152 00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:35,919 right now. And yes, Jared Jackson Junior upgraded to probable 153 00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:38,080 in this game. So that's a little bit of the 154 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,480 line move right there. Total did go up from two 155 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,240 twenty seven and a half to a half at Oh, 156 00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:45,960 I know what that is. 157 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: You know that guy? He scares me half the night. 158 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,159 I'm telling you, I've told you before. It just comes 159 00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:53,720 out of but I just shut the volume off. 160 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, I met him again. 161 00:08:56,879 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 2: As you were saying it. That's what popped up, did 162 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,679 you and Jackson? And your availability here? So the reason 163 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:09,440 why the line is moving, I would say this. You 164 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:11,720 talked an awful lot about how bad Memphis has been 165 00:09:11,759 --> 00:09:16,240 since they came back to the States, and they haven't 166 00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:22,960 really gotten untracked yet. Minnesota has been so good as 167 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000 of late ski it. So it's not that long ago 168 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,840 where you couldn't bet them and trust them in a 169 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:32,200 favorite role now it's hard for me to bet against 170 00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:34,759 them because it seems like they've been a focused team 171 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,440 as of late. I had them Friday night in a 172 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,120 really obvious situation, laying ten and a half out West. 173 00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:45,759 I forget who the opponent was, maybe Portland, it was 174 00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:50,240 somebody and that wasn't Portland. I forget who it was, 175 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,720 but regardless, it seemed too easy. The other side was 176 00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:58,279 banged up a little bit, and Minnesota went out there 177 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,240 and just destroyed them like they should do on most 178 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,559 nights when they're given the advantage. But what they haven't 179 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,000 done all season long, but now they're starting to do 180 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,679 that again. I just wonder if it's we talked about 181 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,159 Boston being streaky. It's every NBA team goes through these spurs, 182 00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:18,039 but Minnesota right now it's four and oh against In fact, 183 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,799 it was the same it was against Memphis, the same 184 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,720 team that they're playing today. Okay, one thirty one one fourteen, 185 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,000 laying ten and a half that night, got home easy, 186 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,799 was an easy winner, four and oh straight up against 187 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,360 the number. Last four games over under two to two 188 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,320 each way, but they're winning by margin. BEATOKC. When twenty 189 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,480 three to one eleven came back when that game big, 190 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,879 I don't know. Maybe you could expect because this is 191 00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:46,759 a back to back with a day of rest in between. 192 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,759 Maybe Memphis because Jaren Jackson did sit out that game 193 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,279 the other night. Uh, maybe you could expect that Memphis 194 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:59,320 has some bounce back ability here in this one numbers 195 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,440 now down to six and a half. I guess as 196 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,440 I look at it, but I don't know that I 197 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,399 could trust it. Ski. Honestly, I think if Minnesota comes 198 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,919 to play, they're the winner here. They cover, And I'm 199 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,200 thinking that, unlike you know, the majority of this season 200 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,360 so far, that maybe they are showing up to play 201 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,440 every single game heading into the All Star breaks, so 202 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,480 too confusing for me. I can make arguments both ways. 203 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,480 I lay off this one. Don't have a really good 204 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,120 thought on the total here that other one the other 205 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,000 night Minnesota scored one thirty one against this team and 206 00:11:32,919 --> 00:11:34,759 one twenty three to the game before. They run a 207 00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:37,559 pretty good offensive role here and the defense is coming back. 208 00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:41,480 Just let me finish by saying one eleventh to Golden State, 209 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,360 eighty three to Golden State, one oh five to Dallas, 210 00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:48,600 one eleven to OKC, and then one fourteen to Memphis. 211 00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:51,440 In a seventeen point round. Minnesota's defense coming around a 212 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,600 little bit last five games. 213 00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you do have Randall a legenable here tonight. 214 00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:04,759 But I mean, like you said, it's been Timberwolves just 215 00:12:04,799 --> 00:12:07,720 blowing people out the past few games. They just played 216 00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:11,440 the Grizzlies double digit points spread, blow them out. I'll 217 00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:13,679 come back, don't even travel and the points spread is 218 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,039 seven and a half. I don't know. I feel like 219 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:21,399 the Grizzlies can be competitive in this game. Somebody in 220 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,440 the chest said it was jam Rock Kick said Ti 221 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,639 Jerome looked good. He definitely did. He'll give them a 222 00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:29,399 boost offensively. Getting Jared Jackson in this time around? 223 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 2: Is it? 224 00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: You know that's a plus? Could be without and Randall. 225 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,960 You know, I'll be missing some offense for Minnesota there, 226 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,039 Minnesota has been able to cover without. But I don't know. 227 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,960 I think the Grizzlies are the right side in this game, 228 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,360 all right. Last on the list is Sixers and Clippers 229 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,399 opened up as a pick on minus two or one 230 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,759 and a half for the Clippers here total open two 231 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,159 twenty and a half looks like hasn't really moved. But 232 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,159 the Clippers, you do have hard unquestionable, Jones Junior doubtful 233 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,279 for the Sixers. Embiid is probable, Paul George is suspended. 234 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,759 Clippers are running back to back here. James Harden, if 235 00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:15,080 he does play, will be probably the freshest one because 236 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,679 he didn't play yesterday. I feel like in this game 237 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,960 maybe we could see a lot of points. Embiid has 238 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,879 been scoring pretty well lately. He could have another good 239 00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:28,679 game here. Hardened versus one of his old teams could 240 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,879 show up and have a good game here. Kawhi has 241 00:13:31,919 --> 00:13:35,440 been playing good. Kawhi maybe motivated after the All Star stuff. 242 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,759 I think this one could see points. If I was 243 00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:42,879 picking a side, I think the Clippers have been playing 244 00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:46,360 too well lately to ignore, So it will be Clippers 245 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,159 are over for me. What do you think? You know? 246 00:13:49,519 --> 00:13:52,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm halfway with you there, Ski, because this is 247 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,039 the one game that I did bet on the board 248 00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:57,159 and I bet the Philly team total over one on 249 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,120 nine and a half. They've gotten there five of the 250 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,960 last seven games. Their offense and the Paul George suspension. 251 00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:09,200 I think that show the other night where don't I 252 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,480 don't know how much it really means like they are 253 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,080 better with him, but I don't know that they're substantially 254 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,360 worse without him. The other night they walk out there 255 00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:19,279 and score one twenty four against the one ands. I 256 00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:22,000 think they'll be just fine for twenty five games without 257 00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:24,960 Paul George, and it probably benefits them coming into the 258 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,679 playoffs because he'll be well rested by that time. But 259 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,840 the back to backs for LA and LA was in 260 00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:33,519 a game against Phoenix where they played really hard last night. 261 00:14:33,559 --> 00:14:38,279 The minutes don't show up as these enormous numbers, and 262 00:14:38,559 --> 00:14:40,360 they did blow them out, but still that was a 263 00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:43,120 game that it seemed like their focus was on from 264 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,559 the outset last night and watching that, it just looked 265 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,799 like LA wanted that game. Come back home play Philadelphia. 266 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,840 I'm not going to use this as part of the handicap, 267 00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:59,559 but there is some you know, there's probably still some 268 00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:04,279 connect for Joel Embiid to wanting to play well against 269 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,399 James Harden's team, and when Harden left Philly here that 270 00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:10,440 was not good between Embiid and Harden, and I don't 271 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,840 think they carry any ill will anymore. But I do 272 00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:15,679 think in the back of Embiid's mind he wants to 273 00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:18,600 win when he sees Harden on the other side of 274 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,799 the floor. N F Harden doesn't play tonight, that's another thing. 275 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,879 If he doesn't, I'm probably in better shape. Philly can run. 276 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,679 We've talked about the Clippers. The other time I did this, 277 00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:29,759 a couple of weeks ago or within the last two weeks, 278 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,519 was because I thought the Clippers would be slow in 279 00:15:32,559 --> 00:15:34,480 the second of a back to back. This is back 280 00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:39,639 to back with travel, albeit short travel. Philly's had rest, 281 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,039 Philly's got pretty good young legs. I feel like this 282 00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:45,799 is a spot where Philly can at least score. The 283 00:15:45,879 --> 00:15:48,399 line isn't enough for me to get there with Philadelphia 284 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,679 plus points, but I do think getting to one hundred 285 00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:54,879 and ten might not be as difficult as it's been 286 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,240 for Clipper opponents recently because the Clips have played good defense. 287 00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:01,360 So I'm kind of bucking a couple of things here, 288 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,840 but I think the situation pushes me there. I bet 289 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:06,240 Philadelphia team total over one or nine and a half. 290 00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:10,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're seeing we're seeing this one kind of the 291 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,120 same here. I think this could be very well be 292 00:16:13,159 --> 00:16:17,559 an overgame. I just want to double check one last 293 00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:23,360 thing here. Pace numbers. Neither one are really playing with pace. 294 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,440 Last five games, both bottom ten, Sixers defense, bottom five, 295 00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:33,080 Clippers defense top five, both top ten offensive raided teams. 296 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,480 So interesting, but it is a low total even though 297 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,039 they're they're you know, slow paced. So we'll see how 298 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,519 that one shakes out, dropping downs like six ers king 299 00:16:42,559 --> 00:16:49,360 total over all. Right, that's the NBA slate, only four 300 00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:52,159 piece for today, you know. So we get in, we 301 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,720 get out. Let's go ahead and promo a couple of things. 302 00:16:55,919 --> 00:16:59,879 Let's see what do we have here. We have, well, 303 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,720 this is new super Bowl or super Bowl all access 304 00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:06,279 for only ninety nine dollars per month. It's a good 305 00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:10,160 way to get involved long term. You also, you know, 306 00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:12,400 if you didn't want to go that far, you want 307 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,240 to do ten days of all access for the price 308 00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:18,960 of seven, you'll save sixty nine dollars and get every 309 00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,000 play that we're making for ten days here, so we know. 310 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:25,880 On that note, I'm going to pass it to you. 311 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,440 I ask you if there's anything else you'd like to promote, 312 00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:30,160 and if you have a best bet for the show, 313 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,000 we like to hear it. We'd love to hear it. 314 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,400 If you don't no worries. 315 00:17:36,079 --> 00:17:38,799 Speaker 2: Like those new promos, skip ten days for the price 316 00:17:38,839 --> 00:17:40,799 of seven. I think seven for three worked out really 317 00:17:40,839 --> 00:17:43,559 well for them, so they extended a little bit over 318 00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:47,079 at wage of talk included obviously, if you go now 319 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,000 ten for the price of seven or anytime this week, 320 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,799 all super Bowl stuff gets included in that package right 321 00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:56,720 the game, the props, et cetera, et cetera. So not 322 00:17:56,759 --> 00:17:59,279 only will you have both basketball's NBA college, but you'll 323 00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:02,519 have all that football as well. Ski, I'm gonna leave 324 00:18:02,519 --> 00:18:04,759 a best bet because I bet it, and I still 325 00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:07,160 I think it's a pretty solid play. The Sixers team 326 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,680 total over one on nine and a half. I just 327 00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:11,319 explained why. It just seems to me it's a situational 328 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,920 spot that sets up well for Philly to be able 329 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,440 to score whether they win the game or not. You know, 330 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,000 I don't want to run in front of the Clippers 331 00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:21,960 freight train because they've been covering at such a high rate, 332 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,599 but I do think that defensively they could be a 333 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,960 little sluggish year tonight against Philly. So give me that 334 00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:30,440 team total sixer side over one o nine and a half. 335 00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: Good stuff for Robino. Yeah, what you said about super Bowl, 336 00:18:36,279 --> 00:18:38,759 I do have. I have a package up for super Bowl. 337 00:18:39,279 --> 00:18:41,440 It's a five percent best bet there a couple other 338 00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:45,400 props and stuff. I know I have won three to the 339 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,079 last four or for the last five, one of the 340 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,680 two Super Bowls, so I usually do pretty good at 341 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,599 that time. Other than that, I didn't want to put 342 00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:57,160 this up just because I got it extended here. So 343 00:18:57,319 --> 00:18:59,799 pretty much NBA and college basketball. I can get them 344 00:18:59,799 --> 00:19:03,720 both through the championships and at a reduce rate. I'm 345 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,799 pretty sure it's like one fifty off. So it's a 346 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:08,799 good way to be involved for the rest of the 347 00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:11,839 season in basketball and combined to basketball. Right now, I'm 348 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,559 up forty five a little bit about forty five units 349 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,759 for the season. All right. My best bet for the show, 350 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,599 I'm not gonna put any grass anything up here today, 351 00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:26,440 but I am gonna go with I'm gonna go with 352 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:29,599 Tarry Easton over one and a half threes. Brian did 353 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,880 mention it in the chat. You know, even though not 354 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,720 the greatest matchup, they're gonna need them tonight, especially to 355 00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:41,240 space the floor without Kevin Durant there, and he's shooting 356 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,000 it well. I mean he's shooting just under forty eight 357 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,799 percent from three, so I like him up and over. 358 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,640 That'll be my best bet for the show. Vino, I 359 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,839 always appreciate you taking the time to break these games 360 00:19:51,839 --> 00:19:54,319 down with us. Helps my process.
