1 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,639 Speaker 1: What's up, y'all. Welcome into another episode of Profit Picks. 2 00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:07,719 If you are new, we do always start the show 3 00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:10,880 by being transparent. Yesterday ended up being a good day 4 00:00:10,919 --> 00:00:14,519 for myself. I went four and one did have a 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,719 five percent winner on the Lakers, so really good day. 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,399 Other winners were under and nets under to thirteen and 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,559 a half. Man looked like an easy winner in the 8 00:00:24,559 --> 00:00:26,719 first half, made me sweat all the way to the 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,399 final second and won by the hook, but I'll take 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,560 the win. Pelican's money line that was a nice one. 11 00:00:33,799 --> 00:00:37,439 Blazers and Pacers over that was also pretty nice. Jazz 12 00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:40,920 Timberwood's under was the one loser never really had a chance, 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,079 So four and one day I will take it. 14 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: Veno. Good to be back with you. 15 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,039 Speaker 1: Hopefully things are just as good on your end as well. 16 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,679 Speaker 3: Yesterday was good, but it was only college basketball, so 17 00:00:53,719 --> 00:00:57,719 I'm disappointed to say that number forty five couldn't help 18 00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:01,520 contribute to our package winnings last night, so I owe 19 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,560 you a little bit there, thanks for carrying us. It 20 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,920 was all college last night too, and when d SMU 21 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,319 Miamio total over got there with room to spare in 22 00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:15,680 the end, New Mexico at the n SAM Houston. That 23 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,000 game over got to one ninety. That was probably one 24 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,280 of the easiest wins I've had in a while, and 25 00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:26,159 the loser was Kent State team total. Unexpectedly, Kent did 26 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,840 not show up last night. So two and one was 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,439 a good profitable day and that's what we're looking for. 28 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,280 But we'll add some NBA to it today because I've 29 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,280 already played two games and we can get to it. Now. 30 00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:41,439 Speaker 1: Let's get to it. We'll start at the top. Pistons 31 00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:45,159 and Wizards opened up fifteen and a half for Detroit, 32 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,280 down as little as thirteen and a half, totaling up 33 00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:51,599 from two eight and a half. There's two thirty one 34 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,120 and a half. Cad has been rolled out as the 35 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,400 steward has been rolled out for the Wizards. Cool Ebally 36 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,079 is out, Davis, George d Low, Young black out. I 37 00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:07,000 really don't have a whole lot of interest betting this 38 00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:12,080 game with everybody out here. Honestly, this is an easy pass. 39 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,599 You know, anything you want to do here. 40 00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's an easy pass too. It's an 41 00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:20,599 absolute shame what's going on with Kate Cunningham right now. 42 00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:23,199 Hopefully he's going to be okay. At least for a 43 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:25,439 playoff time. But my problem was Ski, I don't know 44 00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:28,039 how the team reacts to this collapse along is no joke. 45 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,919 You know, they could come out with their heads half 46 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,879 in it and half with their minds on him, or 47 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,800 they could come out and you know, play fired up 48 00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:41,199 because he's not in the lineup. But I'm not gonna 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,759 guess with other stuff on the board, So Washington's been 50 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,039 in this situation catching a ton of points like this, 51 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,520 an awful lot in fact against Detroit. Seems like they're 52 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,639 always playing Detroit. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. It 53 00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:55,439 just seems like I stare at the board and see 54 00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:58,439 this matchup every other day, but no real interest in 55 00:02:58,439 --> 00:02:59,199 betting that game. 56 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: All right, we can move it on over to the 57 00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:07,919 next game, and uh so that's gonna look like Orlando 58 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,560 and Charlotte opened up three and a half, I'm sorry, 59 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,039 opened up at six point favorites for Charlotte down. 60 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,319 Speaker 2: To five or five and a half. 61 00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: Total has come down as well, from two twenty seven 62 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,680 to two twenty five. 63 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,719 Speaker 2: Anthony black, Window, Carter. 64 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:32,039 Speaker 1: Junior, Isaac, and Franz Bagner out for Orlando. Charlotte once 65 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,240 again pretty healthy and they did not have to travel. 66 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,520 They're staying right at home for the Magic. This is 67 00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:42,360 there what they're a game in four nights here, fourth 68 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,000 and six. It's a chance for them to maybe punch back. 69 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,560 I mean, they did beat the Hornets the first month 70 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,120 of the season, but since then, the Hornets blew them 71 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,800 out the next two meetings. 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: So I guess I should take a peek at the standings. 73 00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: But curious here, you know, do you think the Magic 74 00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:01,319 can stay competitive? 75 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,199 Speaker 3: Well, I'll go ahead and just repeat what we've been 76 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,479 saying here on the show for the last couple of days, 77 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,039 that battle between Orlando and Miami to get into the 78 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,879 playoff and avoid the play in. They both play again tonight, 79 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,680 so it's meaningful for both of these teams. Orlando's been 80 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,959 playing pretty good as of late. I mean, they had 81 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,199 a seven straight wind streak broken the last couple but 82 00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:30,079 not because they didn't play Oklahoma City tough the other night. 83 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,439 Chance for them. The scheduling's kind of weird, right, two 84 00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:38,319 road games, come home to play one home against Oklahoma City, 85 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,680 then go back to the road to play Charlotte. Not 86 00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:45,120 that this is an extended road, extensive road trip. They're 87 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,800 going to turn around and come right back home for 88 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,839 a couple but they've been playing well overall and they 89 00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:57,360 need it. Their team total has gone over six seven 90 00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:01,399 and one last eight full game total over five and 91 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,800 one last six. Orlando continues that to play that way, 92 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,199 Charlotte can as well. The one thing I don't like 93 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,000 about Orlando here in this instant ski is when you 94 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,600 have Wendell Carter Junior and Jonathan Isaac both out at 95 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,199 the same time, the rim protection for the depth there 96 00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:28,120 really becomes slight. Kawlkbrenner is capable at times, but I'm 97 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,480 not sure that there's enough rim defense here against Charlotte, 98 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,680 so it kind of keeps me off the game. But 99 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,439 I really would like to play Orlando. I think desperation 100 00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:39,199 or the sense of urgency, so to speak, sits in 101 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,079 their side tonight. As I mentioned before, Charlotte is not 102 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,160 really in any danger whatsoever of either well, certainly there 103 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,680 are no danger of falling, but they're not really that 104 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,680 close to pulling ahead of Philadelphia two games behind, although 105 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,800 I guess you could say Philly's all banged up and 106 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,920 made Charlotte could so a little bit of motivation there. 107 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,560 I do like the way Orlando's playing, so it kept 108 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,360 me off the game because I don't I don't like 109 00:06:08,519 --> 00:06:11,439 having both of those centers possibly not playing here. 110 00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is uh, I don't know. I don't think 111 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,920 I'm too interested here. You know, it's a lot of games. 112 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,360 I mean college is much more interesting. We all know that. 113 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:24,800 But to be a fee here we can find let's 114 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,360 see Calves and Bulls. Eleven and a half point opener 115 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:33,360 down to ten and a half sought open, two thirty 116 00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:34,279 nine hasn't moved. 117 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 2: I mean, these Bulls have been bad. 118 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,639 Speaker 1: Sexton is probable, Smith questionable, I v A Corros Sigmon's out, 119 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,240 Donovan Mitchell is questionable, Jared Allen, porter, and Proctor out 120 00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:54,959 for this Cavs team. Looking at the Magic, I'm sorry 121 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,439 looking at the Bulls. Pretty sure they played last night. 122 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,240 I'm just trying to find it here. Yeah, I'm pretty 123 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,519 I remember seeing them getting blown off the earth. That 124 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,199 was last night, right, Yeah, Verse Toronto, I believe so 125 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,920 second of it. Back to back for them against the 126 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,800 rest of the Cavaliers. A little shorthanded, but Calves should be 127 00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:18,040 able to name their number. Probably Calves team total. I'd 128 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,439 probably be my recommendation. I just I don't like anything 129 00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:22,879 about the Bulls. You know which you got. 130 00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 3: It's kind of like what I said yesterday about this team. 131 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,480 They're just hard. They don't want to play any defense whatsoever. 132 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,000 And yesterday they turned it over like crazy, twenty six 133 00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:36,959 points for Toronto off of Chicago turnovers, even with Giddy 134 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,199 in the lineup. Didn't shoot it well from three, But 135 00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:43,240 they just continue to give up points. I mean, it's 136 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,759 to recommend the Cleveland team total sounds pretty nice to me. 137 00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:50,959 I mean, Cleveland's still gonna score even if mitchell doesn't 138 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,639 go in this particular game. Give up fifty seven percent 139 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,639 from the field last night, the Bulls did. It's the 140 00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:00,519 second time in the last four game games where they've 141 00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:04,800 given up fifty five percent or better. One nineteen or 142 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,759 more points allowed in one, two, three, four, five of 143 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,360 their last six. It's just not a team that's playing 144 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,480 with any interest on the defensive end. SKI so hard 145 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,920 to back them. I don't think they're good enough offensively 146 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:21,839 to keep pace. Again, didn't play lousy lowsy matchup here, 147 00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:23,839 But I do think if I was going to play, 148 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,639 I could probably get to the Cleveland team total here. 149 00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:30,360 Just a bit out of my range here at one 150 00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:32,360 twenty four and a half one twenty five and a half. 151 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,799 Speaker 1: All right, Sun Spurs opened up minus nine, looks like 152 00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:42,159 ten ten and a half. Total went up from two 153 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,200 twenty five and a half. As I as two twenty eight. 154 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,039 Sons will be without Mark Williams, Dylon Brooks, O'Neill and 155 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,039 Grayson Allen are both questionable. I don't see anybody on 156 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,840 the injury report for the Spurs here tonight. It is 157 00:08:57,879 --> 00:09:01,120 the third game and four nights for both teams, fourth 158 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,240 and six for the Spurs. 159 00:09:02,639 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: This Sun's team, though, this is the. 160 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,399 Speaker 1: Final, the sixth and final game of their road trip here, 161 00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:14,080 so they've lost their last three. I mean it's a 162 00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:15,879 chance for them to try to go fifty to fifty 163 00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:18,159 on the road trip or do they just want to 164 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:24,440 get back home here? Rao got a glance really quick 165 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,279 at the standings and the Sun's right there in, you know, 166 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,480 in the seventh spot in a play in. I mean, 167 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,480 off three straight L's versus Spurs team, off three straight duves, 168 00:09:36,799 --> 00:09:39,519 they're getting ten points. I think you get a good 169 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:40,639 effort from the Suns here. 170 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: What do you think is that enoughs? 171 00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I know you said this like last week, 172 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,639 no interest in betting against the Spurs. Kind of feel 173 00:09:53,639 --> 00:09:55,679 the same way right now. How how could you? I 174 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,159 mean to me, they're still in hot pursuit of Oklahoma City, 175 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,679 I mean San Antonio. I haven't seen any quote skiing, 176 00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:05,879 you know, I like to read all these coaches quotes 177 00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:09,320 and stuff from post games and whatnot. I haven't seen 178 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,480 or read anybody directly referred to. Yeah, we're trying to 179 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,720 chase down the number one seed, but the way they're 180 00:10:16,759 --> 00:10:19,879 playing seems they probably don't have to say it to me. 181 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,360 Their actions prove to me every night that they're trying 182 00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:27,000 to get past Okay see here. And I believe, if 183 00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:29,679 I'm right, they probably own the head to head season 184 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,120 series because I know they were beating Oklahoma City at 185 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,559 will early on. Okay See did come back and get 186 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,919 one against them, so if they were to land in 187 00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:39,240 a tie, it would go to San Antono. I think 188 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,559 every night they come to play, and like I say, 189 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,440 their parts are so interchangeable. Phoenix, it's been a long 190 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:47,240 road trip. I'm glad you said that because I would 191 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,039 have said it if you didn't. And I just don't 192 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:54,320 know if they can keep up here san Antonio just 193 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,840 scores and scores and scores. And as much as we 194 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:04,080 talk about Wemby as a defensive presence, san Antonio offensively 195 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,639 they like get to one twenty without even trying half 196 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,679 the time. It's so funny to watch them play. They 197 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,600 don't look like they're piling on points in bunches, but 198 00:11:14,639 --> 00:11:17,120 what yet when you look up, they're piling up points 199 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,799 in bunches. So I don't know, I could probably get 200 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,480 to some form of San Antonio team total over because 201 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,440 I do think Phoenix will be a little bit fatigued, 202 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,080 and maybe the Spurs, I don't know, tends a lot, 203 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,919 tends a lot, but I was gonna say beyond Booker 204 00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:37,679 in Green just don't like Phoenix's ability to score with 205 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,799 who they'll have on the floor tonight. So you know, 206 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,720 it points all Spurs to me. Did I did not play. 207 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to see here. Is it. 208 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: Is there any kind of look ahead here for the Spurs? 209 00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:57,679 Maybe Spurs? No, they play the Pacers next. No, no 210 00:11:57,799 --> 00:12:02,759 reason to really fade the Spur but unless you think 211 00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:09,519 they're complacent, but there is a reason to back the Suns. Oh, 212 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,519 I think I'll think about this one a little bit more. 213 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,799 They've played three times this season, granted with different players. 214 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,159 Sons have won two of them. Those two ends were 215 00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:22,399 very early in the season November. Last time they played, 216 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:28,440 Sons lost one to ninety four. I do think the 217 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,960 sun's on the right side, but I think about it 218 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,519 a little bit longer. Clippers and Pelicans, this one is 219 00:12:34,519 --> 00:12:37,919 on the move, opened up as a pick them. We 220 00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:40,639 now see New Orleans minus two and a half total 221 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,639 open two thirty six, and that has come down seen 222 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,440 it as low as two twenty eight and a half. 223 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:52,440 Injury report, Let's just refresh because I know I saw 224 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:58,000 some stuff pop up. We have Garland Mathern both out, 225 00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:03,360 Kawhis questionable, sorry but to him is probable. De Jonta 226 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,399 Murray is out for the Pelicans team. They're missing some 227 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,120 pace with Garland missing some points as well. With Garland 228 00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:15,200 mathering could be missing Kawhi too. I mean, stay one 229 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,919 hundred yesterday. Why doesn't this one stand here again? 230 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: How you feeling it? 231 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: You know? 232 00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 3: Yeah? Dejante Murray played a really good game. Just say 233 00:13:27,159 --> 00:13:30,679 that point in New Orleans. Honestly, when you watch them 234 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,919 nowadays the past, I don't know, a month maybe extended 235 00:13:34,919 --> 00:13:37,440 out even further. But I guess my point is going 236 00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:40,720 to be that healthy, they look pretty good and they 237 00:13:40,759 --> 00:13:45,559 don't necessarily get priced as pretty good. Here. I really 238 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,279 wanted to come back with the Clippers team total because 239 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:53,039 they lose last night with only one hundred and nine points. 240 00:13:53,039 --> 00:13:57,279 But there's just no way I'm getting there without Garland, 241 00:13:57,799 --> 00:14:00,840 without Kawhi. We already knew we would and have Benedict 242 00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:04,399 Mathern here Ben Matherens. So it's just too much to 243 00:14:04,519 --> 00:14:06,799 take away from the Clippers for me to come back 244 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,919 and think that they're going to exceed their team totally. 245 00:14:08,919 --> 00:14:12,240 If I think that way, the other choices would be 246 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,080 either New Orleans or an under. You mentioned the under. 247 00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:20,399 You know, back to back wins by New Orleans here, 248 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,480 it's very possible. They're up to a two and a 249 00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:26,159 half point favorite now, though in some locales is this number. 250 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,919 Like you say, when the injuries come out, they do 251 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,720 hit these games pretty hard Spurs. I guess, excuse me, Clippers, 252 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,679 I'm just trying to see how you know they're pretty safe. 253 00:14:38,799 --> 00:14:41,519 I mean, they're in the eighth slot, but they could 254 00:14:41,559 --> 00:14:44,399 fall to ten. I mean, they really can't play around 255 00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:46,559 the only one game ahead of Golden State. One game 256 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,519 separates eighth and tent and home games in the play 257 00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:53,360 and are pretty valuable. So I don't know. It just 258 00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:56,879 seems like the Clippers, if they're going to hold everybody out, 259 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,360 don't seem very interested in winning this game. 260 00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can agree with that. 261 00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 3: I I. 262 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,639 Speaker 1: Don't really trust too much. Besides probably less points here. 263 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: Lakers and Heat. We just saw those Lakers yesterday. This 264 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:13,879 one opens. 265 00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: Heat minus two is up to five and a half 266 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,879 or six total right around the opener though. 267 00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:20,559 Speaker 2: As far as. 268 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: Injuries for the Lakers, Luca reeves, Lebron all questionable, back 269 00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:31,080 to Kaliba is out for the Heat. I mean, Hokas 270 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:38,159 is questionable, and Wiggins is out right now. So the Lakers, 271 00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:40,759 like I said, are playing on the back to back 272 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,919 for the Heat. It's chance for them to get some revenge. 273 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,480 Last time they played, they lost by They lost one 274 00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:49,600 thirty to one twenty. 275 00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: That was back in November. 276 00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: They do have the rest advantage in this one second 277 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,039 of the back to back for the Lakers, third and fourth, 278 00:15:56,039 --> 00:16:03,639 fourth and six. With everybody questionable, I feel like the 279 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,279 Lakers just won a big game and a big you know, 280 00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:11,600 little end season series. As far as the standings are concerned, 281 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,159 why would they just coming and now want to you know, 282 00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:17,360 they won that game yesterday just to give the next 283 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,960 game away. I just don't feel like that's I just 284 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,759 don't think that's right. They could be all right out 285 00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:27,919 that Heat could win, you know, but I think the Lakers, 286 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,759 like at least two or three are going to play, 287 00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:31,879 and I think that that can be enough to beat 288 00:16:31,879 --> 00:16:32,480 this Heat team. 289 00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 2: What do you think? 290 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, that Total is not holding it two 291 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,120 forty and a half because money anticipates nobody playing for 292 00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:45,120 the Lakers. Otherwise it wouldn't be close. That I get. 293 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,240 And obviously this is one that I played. I played 294 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,159 the Miami team total over one twenty two and a half. 295 00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:54,559 Always makes me happy when I see Norman Powell available, 296 00:16:54,679 --> 00:16:57,639 which he is in this game, probably the most important 297 00:16:57,639 --> 00:16:59,879 guy when I played totals. But I know Miami's going 298 00:16:59,919 --> 00:17:02,879 to play pace, and I do think that the Lakers 299 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,960 had a tough game last night, so maybe if it 300 00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:06,720 shows up for them, it wouldn't show up on the 301 00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:08,960 offensive end, it would show up on the defensive end. However, 302 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,240 all that said, they shot sixty percent from the field, 303 00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:15,319 last night. It was crazy how well the Lakers shot 304 00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:19,680 in that game. We talked about that game against Houston yesterday, 305 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,000 pointing out how good LA has been playing as of late. 306 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,079 They're playing really good, And there was a point in 307 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,079 the second half there, maybe late third, early fourth, where 308 00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:32,200 Houston really pushed back and looked like they were going 309 00:17:32,279 --> 00:17:33,880 to be able to control the game in LA just 310 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,599 pushed them out of the way and wound up winning. 311 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,039 Luca forty Lebron thirty. I think Lebron was almost flawless 312 00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:43,640 from the field twelve to thirteen as I'm looking here, 313 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,519 so I don't know that you can repeat that shooting 314 00:17:46,559 --> 00:17:50,599 performance overall as a team. All that said, if their 315 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,839 guys go, they still have scores. The one thing I 316 00:17:52,839 --> 00:17:55,240 think is constant here is it's going to be played fast. 317 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,359 Miami needs to win games because, as I mentioned with Orlando, 318 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,559 those two are six and seven. Either you're gonna be 319 00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:04,000 in the playoffs, so you're gonna have to go through 320 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,880 the play in I don't think Miami wants that, so 321 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,519 I don't trust them enough to win the game. So 322 00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:13,359 I couldn't bet side, especially at that price, but I 323 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,359 do think they'll score one hundred and twenty three points. 324 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,039 I got in up one twenty two and a half. Ski. 325 00:18:17,079 --> 00:18:20,480 It looks to me as I'm talking here, I'm looking 326 00:18:20,519 --> 00:18:23,079 at the current team total, which is now bumped up 327 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,000 to one twenty three and a half for Miami. So 328 00:18:26,039 --> 00:18:27,440 if you bet it, you need to get to one 329 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,000 hundred and twenty four. I'm not sure that that's not 330 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,160 doable here tonight. Like I said, I bet it over 331 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,039 one twenty two and a half. 332 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do you know? 333 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: I forgot that the heat they are are back to 334 00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:44,160 back losses and they just lost by thirty should you know, 335 00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:47,200 be a reason for them to want to get some 336 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,680 effort after getting embarrassed like that. So I'm gonna pump 337 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,039 the brakes on that that Lakers talk that I started with. 338 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,319 I can understand why you want to heat team. Total 339 00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:02,240 Lakers defense in a row not the greatest, and on 340 00:19:02,319 --> 00:19:04,359 the back to back probably don't get the best effort. 341 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:12,160 So I can definitely understand that. Let's keep going down 342 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,240 the list. Bucks and Jazz. 343 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why I want to hurry up 344 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,680 and get to this game. You know what I mean? 345 00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:23,160 You do have the Jazz on the back to back, Ah, 346 00:19:23,279 --> 00:19:24,079 This is disgusting. 347 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: There's so many good college games in NBA while we 348 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,960 got to talk about this, What do you want with 349 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,279 this one? 350 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 2: You know, Milwaukee and Utah. 351 00:19:33,559 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 3: It was disgusting enough for me to wake up this 352 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,039 morning and run to my apps and play this game 353 00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:43,599 over the other day, I had made the point that 354 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,319 I'm just basically mechanically playing Indiana. It worked again last night, 355 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,880 right Indiana Portland team total got over, game got over, clinging, 356 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,799 got over. The whole world got over last night where 357 00:19:53,839 --> 00:19:56,200 Indiana is involved. And I just feel the same way 358 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,119 about Milwaukee at this point in time. Janna is protesting 359 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,960 to play. Doesn't play here tonight. I don't think shouldn't 360 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,880 matter Utah's defense. Whatever seven or eight Milwaukee rolls out 361 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,920 there and the rotation should score theirs. And same goes 362 00:20:12,039 --> 00:20:16,200 for Utah. They're down like their too best, right, but 363 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,119 still Utah plenty enough to score against the Milwaukee defense 364 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:25,319 that just shows little interest in stopping opponents whatsoever. Utah 365 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,519 games at home generally high scoring. I said to myself, 366 00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:30,880 you know, before I saw openers last night, if this 367 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,599 game comes anywhere less than two thirty four, I'm going 368 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,759 to be on the over and it opened up two 369 00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:38,759 twenty eight, so I got there a little bit later 370 00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:40,799 to twenty nine, but it's still sitting at two twenty 371 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,480 nine and a half. I like it over. I just 372 00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:44,279 think this is one of those role out the balls, 373 00:20:44,279 --> 00:20:46,720 see who scores the most, and it's kind of the 374 00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:48,319 way both teams are playing right now. 375 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 2: All right, I can understand that. Absolutely. 376 00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: Kings and seventy six ers, Yeah, you know, looking like 377 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,519 a pass today, it's looking like. 378 00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 2: Not a whole lot of good stuff going on. I'm okay. 379 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: I don't want to lite anybody's time, So if you 380 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,440 have anything on sixers and Kings, you'd love to hear it. 381 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 3: I'll just steal your line from the game before that. 382 00:21:14,319 --> 00:21:16,440 We just talked about why am I rushing to play 383 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,440 this game? I'm not, although I am sporting number forty 384 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,519 five in a Philly jersey, so I should have something 385 00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:25,799 good to say. But the line is switched here to 386 00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:28,680 a two and a half point favorite. Honestly, ski, I didn't. 387 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,799 I'm just really quick gonna look at the injury board 388 00:21:31,839 --> 00:21:35,920 to see why Philadelphia would go to a two point 389 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,240 favorite here. But I show most of Sacramento's guys in 390 00:21:39,319 --> 00:21:44,200 which means maybe somebody for Philly is gonna play here. No, 391 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,160 there's no difference here. Philly's been horrible on this road 392 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,960 trip Sacramento. As soon as you want to trust them, 393 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,960 you find out why you don't the other night. So 394 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:56,880 I got nothing on that game. 395 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:05,759 Speaker 1: If that's the NBA slate for today, man, today's slate 396 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,400 was not not great. All right, let's get to these 397 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,839 promos and best bets to get out of here. So 398 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,680 reminder to everybody, we still do have the buy three 399 00:22:14,759 --> 00:22:17,119 gear three free comes out to six days for just 400 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,799 sixty nine dollars.

If you don't. It's okay. 412 00:22:56,759 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 3: I just go off topic really quick here. For those 413 00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:02,920 that are like Ski and I interested in this college 414 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,359 basketball tournament, college basketball package is still up and available 415 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,519 right through the National Championship Game. Just go to either 416 00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:14,000 one of our homepages at waygertalk dot com. You'll find 417 00:23:14,039 --> 00:23:16,839 a pretty good package deal to take you all the 418 00:23:16,839 --> 00:23:20,440 way through the National Championship Game. I believe it started 419 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,640 at one forty nine a week ago. I believe that 420 00:23:22,759 --> 00:23:26,519 number has come down because there's been some games played already, 421 00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:33,079 but still huge weekend in college basketball I have I 422 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:34,759 think I'm trying to count in my head. I do 423 00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:39,519 have five four plays available for this evening, including my 424 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,279 first four percent of the year. So that's college hoop 425 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,559 Tonight's Ski. I'm just gonna go back to something we 426 00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:47,880 talked about earlier. I like the Miami team total over 427 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,960 I'm gonna use what's fair at this time. Like I said, 428 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,480 I got one twenty two and a half. But what's 429 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,319 fair right now is to say one twenty three and 430 00:23:54,319 --> 00:23:55,960 a half. Of you guys can dig up a one 431 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,440 twenty two and a half by all means, shop as 432 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,079 best as you can if you want to play it 433 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,400 down alternate line kind of play it down. If your 434 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,119 places one twenty three and a half, play it down 435 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,519 to one twenty two and a half, be my guest. 436 00:24:09,599 --> 00:24:11,599 But that's where I'm at here. I explained why. I 437 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,839 just think Miami needs the game, and I feel like 438 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,519 la second of back to back here. If they don't 439 00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:20,359 bring one end to the floor to the game, it 440 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,279 would be the defensive and in Norman Powell, of course, 441 00:24:23,319 --> 00:24:26,079 i'd like so Miami team total over one twenty three 442 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:26,519 and a half. 443 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,559 Speaker 1: The good stuff from Rob you know, for myself, man, 444 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,599 I haven't played in an NBA game yet so far today, 445 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,279 taking my time a little bit today. Uh maybe I'll 446 00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:45,440 just maybe I'll do like this just a reminder for 447 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,319 everybody here. 448 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 2: No, I guess not. I guess we don't have that well. 449 00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:58,440 You know, all I'll say is if. 450 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: If I was going to be making a bed here 451 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,039 with I don't like to do it because I don't 452 00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:05,599 like to feel like, you know, people are gonna run 453 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:06,960 with it and go my bad. People are gonna run 454 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,240 with it and go bet it. But I don't want 455 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,839 to feel pressure to have to go, you know, put 456 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,200 the bet in. But I really do like that Sons 457 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,839 plus ten have I just need to, you know, verify. 458 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,160 I think about it a little bit longer. But lost 459 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,640 three games in a row versus Spurs who've won three 460 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,079 games in a row. Sons trying to avoid the play 461 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,279 in right there in that seventh spot. I think that's 462 00:25:32,319 --> 00:25:34,519 a you know, a situation where they should at least 463 00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:37,000 give effort, regardless of them continuing to be on the road. 464 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,400 So Sons would probably be my dog of the day. 465 00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:46,160 But again I haven't played it yet, so youno, appreciate 466 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,480 you taking time to cat these games. I will see 467 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,720 you out here in Vegas in a little bit, so 468 00:25:50,759 --> 00:25:52,200 we'll get to hang out and have some of those 469 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,359 good tequila pineapples and watch some of these games. 470 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: So looking forward to that chat.
