Speaker 1: Wh what's up? Everybody? Welcome into another episode of Prophet Picks.
If you are new, we do always start the show
by being transparent. And yesterday it was another good day
at the Pelicans plus nine. That was, you know, nice
one and o day for myself, but not only me,
mister Robbno also at the Pelicans plus eight and a half,
which Cash and I think he had the Nuggets team
total over. It was a two and old day for
robing the NBA. So you're one of those people who
you know, has that forty five and twenty three package.
You're doing pretty good. I but like every day, even
if one of us loses, the other one is covering it.
So good day from both Rob Youno and myself. And
got a chance to see him yesterday too again and
his son son is pretty talented, so good stuff yesterday.
See some of these comments before we get started. Not
sure with Skins Big five talking about here. Yeah, we're
making money bet in these games, so while we want
to stop. Not sure what u. Brian says, great handicap yesterday.
Appreciate you. Let's do it again today. Glenn Walker says,
best show in the game. Appreciate you as well, a
lot of the usual suspects tapping in now so huge slate.
We're gonna do my best to touch on every game
at least a little bit. But if you've been around,
you know how I am. Some of these games I'm
just gonna throw away. So we'll start at the top.
Bulls and Sixers opened up minus six and a half.
For the Sixers still there, total open two thirty seven.
It's as high as two forty and a half. And
when we look at the injury report, you have Simon's doubtful,
Ivy out, Yaouselli and Akoro both questionable, but the Sixers
Oubre Maxie Broom are all out. Embeading Grimes are both questions.
Chicago coming off of a pretty nice win in their
last game, we pulled it up here. Yeah, I know
they played the Rockets as an eight point underdog. We're
able to get that dub here. This is their first
game after what is that four game homestand for the Sixers,
they did lose by twenty last game versus Thunder and
it did not have to travel. So honestly, you know,
the Bulls had been pretty pathetic for a good amount
of time, but prior to that game with the Rockets.
They had three days off, and I always say like
that gives you a lot of three days off without
having to travel. That gives you time to work on
whatever was going wrong. It looks like the Bulls might
have worked on something able to get that win in
their last game. You know, I think they can carry
that over into a game versus the seventy six ers,
who coming off you know, they've been playing some bottom.
They played two competitive teams and got blown out. I
think that the Sixers do not deserve to be laying,
especially with the way the injury report is right now.
The only way I would bet this game is the
Bulls plus six and a half. And it looks like
a couple people in the chat agree as well. Mike
Carr likes him. Ray says watching the show all the time,
first time watching live. Appreciate you Ray if you can,
if you enjoy the show, hit the like button. It
helps us out quite a bit. And they'll let people
at wagers talking though. You know, maybe we're doing something
good on this channel, I mean, on this show for
the channel. Any more comments here Bulls beating the seventy
six Ers. Whilst I was asking I wouldn't be surprised.
I would not be surprised at all. All right, next
game of Hawks and Pistons, opening up minus two and
a half looks like three. So it went up from
two twenty six and a half as high as two
twenty nine. Out there injury. You see Jalen Johnson questionable
for the Hawks. For the Pistons, Duran and Harris are
both probable. Green is questionable. No Kaide, Sasser or Stewart
the Pistons. And I'm gonna pull this up just so
I don't make any mistakes. The Pistons, they are playing
the first of a back to back, They're coming off
of that win versus the Lakers, and they haven't had
It's their third straight home game, so not a lot
of travel going on. Before that Laker game, they had
two days off, so that is something to keep in
mind there with the Hawks. Looks like it's their fourth
game and six nights. They are coming off of a
thirty nine point victory versus Grizzlies prior to that sixteen
point win versus the Warriors. This one is tough. You know,
when I think about the Hawks, I feel like a
lot of what they've done since they since the new roster,
you know, been just a lot of it against bad teams.
The Pistons not the greatest without k but they're still
a good team. I worry. I worry about the Foks
in this spot. I like Jenkins. He's a baller at
the point guard to replace Kate or you know, you know,
trying to do what he can to replace Kate. I
think with this one, and let me just double check here, Yeah,
I'd have to look a little bit more towards the
Piston side. I think they're still laying here for a
good reason. Piston's minus will be my recommendation. Next to
Lakers and Pacers, this one opened up eleven down to ten.
Ten is what we'll call it total, though looks like
it went up a little bit from two thirty six
to as high as two thirty eight and a half.
Injury we're here. DeAndre Aiden is questionable for the Lakers. Ruy,
Marcus Smart, and Thiero are out for the Lakers as well.
Pacers side, you have nim Hard, Nie Smith, Siakam and
Topping all probable pull up the scheduled situation. So just
like the other side of that, Pistons game. The Lakers
are coming off for loss that did stop I believe
what was a nine game win Street. This is also
the sixth straight road game for the Lakers, the end
of their road trip, which has been pretty successful. I mean,
you got what four wins out of five. I call
that a success right there. I'm sure they would like
to finish strong though, especially after that lost to the Pistons.
The Pacers coming off an upset win against the magic
double digit underdogs and they went out right. Now they
returned home and pretty healthy, pretty healthy. You know a
lot of this Pacers teams games whe they're getting smoked.
It's just they didn't have the guys to compete. Now
they have the guys to compete. Now you have guys
who can trust the score. Obviously, I would like if
we had Zubai still in the line up here. But
the Pacers, I trust them to score in this game.
I do. And the Lakers they could be without some
rim protection, without Aiden, They're without Marcus mart who's more defense,
Theuerro another defender. I mean, it's some defense missing on
the Lakers side. So I do trust the Pacers to
score in this Pacers team. I mean, they've been giving
up like one twenty plus one twenty, like one thirty. Really,
I can give you the exact numbers they're giving up,
like one thirty like clockwork lately. Let's see here, Pacers
on the last ten is the average, but I mean
that's the last ten, yeah, but even the last five.
I mean one thirty four, one thirty six, one thirty
four seven, one twenty six. This Pacers team just can't
get stops. And you have Luca Austin Reeves Labron on
the other side. I mean, it's your game. Just screams
over to me. You know, Vino. I'd be willing to
bet Vino likes this game over too. No, I don't
want to put words in his mouth, but you know
I've don't work with you no long enough. We've been
doing this show every day. I'm pretty sure he woke
up this morning and immediately looked at this game. So
I like it over. You know if you if you
got the package with me and Vino, you'll know if
we both like it. But we'll see. Geo says, what's Upske,
appreciate you doing the show solo man. We miss Veno,
but appreciate your knowledge. Thank you. I miss doing the
show with Vino as well. I don't honestly like talking
to myself, but I will still kind of share information,
and I do enjoy coming and talking to the chat.
I just don't like talking to myself. Joey likes the
Pacers team total over all right, Next game Thunder and Celtics.
It's when I opened up minus three down to minus
two total, didn't really move injury report. Nobody on there
for the Celtics. Busovic is out. I'm sorry, nobody on
there for the Thunder. Busovic is out for the Celtics.
Get to the situationals here. Both teams look to be
well arrested in this game. Celtics. That last game versus Timberwolves,
I feel like they were up right, they were up big,
and they just kind of, I don't know, they collapsed.
I didn't see the end of that game, or I
don't remember it right now. But they've had two days
off since then. I didn't have to travel. Thunder playing
their fifth straight road game, and they've been looking pretty good.
I can't help but think something must have went wrong
with Boston for them to lose that game, because I
just remember them being up like I don't like that
for them to have been up and gave it the
game away in the last game. Now coming up now
facing Oka, see who's clicking right now and healthy, I
would only be looking at Okac for that reason, and
I could be talking to an under But I think
sidewise okay see is my preference. A couple guys in
the chat disagree. They like the Over, they like the Celtics.
It's all right, we'll see how that one shakes out.
Don't spend too much time on that game. Heat and
Cavaliers opened up minus three and a half down to
two and a half. Total went up from two forty
one and a half as high as two forty three.
Injury report for the Heat, they're fully healthy. For the Cavs,
Larry Nas Junior is questionable. No Jared Allen, Porter, Streus,
or Tyson. The Cavaliers are on a back to back
here and the Heat definitely have the rest advantage. Even
though they're playing their third game in four nights. This
Heat team, they've lost what five games in a row.
They're now in the tenth and final playing spot. They desperately,
desperately need some wins. I'll tell you that right now
desperately need some wins, and because of that, I think
you can get a really good effort from them. I mean,
they're not gonna give e for tonight fully healthy winner
are You're gonna get it. So I think that and
the cast being on the back to back is the
reason why you got this short line. Like I think
that the books once are bet not begging, but like,
I don't know, the line makes you want to take
the cavaliers most people, probably, especially if you see the
way Miami's been playing lately. I think Miami bounces back
here though I like the heat side, but this one.
See about the chats anything here said they lost to this,
came back on that last one. Boston unders continued cash hard. Yeah,
I could definitely look at that that under there goes
my guy Rob Vino. He says, good morning, last afternoon chatroom,
sitting in the Las Vegas airport and had to tune
in and they hit the like button for my buddy
doing double work. He says, hope everybody cash is tonight. Hey,
you know, get get to your destination safely. I'll continue
to hold it down, you know, while you enjoy your time.
And you know, I enjoyed hanging with you and appreciate
you inviting me to come watch your son rock out yesterday.
You know, he played the shit out the drums and
it was a great time. So I always enjoyed hanging
with you. You know, we do miss you on the
show absolutely, but yeah, enjoy your time. We'll see you soon.
Appreciate it. Ro and I let him know. I let
him know what forty five did yesterday. I checked forty
five with the two and on the NBA. I let
him know this game we are not rocking with let
him know that's the Cavaliers were not. We're going with
the Grizzlies. We're going to look at an opener of
fifteen for the Spurs, up as high as sixteen and
a half total right around the opener of two thirty
three and a half. Darren Fox has been rolled out.
Louke Cornett is out for the Grizzlies. Ty Jerome and
Wells are both out. The shack is doubtful small, It's questionable.
You know. I feel like I kind of talked about this,
was it yesterday? I mean I think it was yesterday.
Let's just double check. The Grizzlies fourth game in sixth nine.
They did not play yesterday, so it wasn't yesterday. It
might have been Monday. But like, I want nothing to
do with the Grizzlies when Ti Jerome's down on the court,
that's just absolutely no for me. And I don't want
to be betting against the Spurs. I've said that plenty
of times. The Spurs just continue to be locked in.
So my initial thought was maybe Spurs or Grizzlies team
total under or the game under or something. The Grizzlies
are twenty three and thirteen to the underwin Ty Jerome
does not play under. I think nine of their last
thirteen something like that. I just worry, you know. The
one thing that bothers me about playing any kind of
under in this game is looking at the Spurs. They've
just been feasted, Like when they play some of these
bad teams, they just they they punished them. They put
up one point thirty something. It seems like in all
the games I was looking at, So they put up
big numbers in all the games I was looking at,
and it scared me off. So for those reasons, I
haven't pushed the button yet, but I was looking at
under or Spurs in this game only ways for me
to look here, all right, next game Wizards and Jazz,
And uh, I'm not wasting anybody's time. Man, this is
one where you might have needed Robino to help us
out because I'm sorry, I just I can't do it,
especially looking at the injury list for these two teams.
So I'll go ahead and skip right ahead to Rockets
and t Wolves. Not like we don't have enough games
to talk about today. Opened up minus one looks like
one and a half total, open two twenty one, it's
high as two twenty four, and injury report wise, Rockets
look pretty healthy. For the Timberwolves though, and it's out
and Assumer was questionable. Let's get to the situationals here.
So for the Rockets, they do have two days off here,
I mean, both teams were arrested. This Rockets team hasn't
They lost the Bulls. They did squeak out that win
versus the heat. This Rockets team just continues to be inconsistent,
continues to not like great basketball. I do think they,
you know, could use some wins, need some wins. But
do I trust them? I just don't two losses away
from cashing their wins total under I think the Timberwolves,
they've proven that they can play without Anthony Edwards enough
this season, especially at home here, I think their defense
is good enough to hold a Rockets team who can't
really shoot. So in this game, maybe this is one
where we look towards under or Timberwolves. That's the way
I'm thinking here, and just thinking about how much the Rockets,
you know, should give effort. I probably prefer more of
an under in this game. We just glanced at a
couple more things. Last five games. Let's pull that up here.
Last five games Rockets nineteenth and pace, Timberwolves ninth, Timberwols
second best defense, the rated team. Neither team really good
offensively lately. Under very very appealing in this game. And
I'll just mark it on here just so I don't forget.
But yeah, looking at it under in this game, anybody
in the chat like in this one. Let's take a look.
Gsys played the backwood jingle on wager top. It's not
up here. I don't even have it if I wanted to.
Let's see winning takes no effort. I wouldn't agree with that,
But he says Bailey's Bailey points over. Maybe that was
for the last game. Yeah, I could go for that
dropping dimes like the Rockets first half, I don't. I
don't have any reason to talk to you on or
off of that. I'm sure you have a reason for
back in the first half. Specifically, Glenn Walker says, Rockets first,
the good teams, and I looked at this. It was
the good teams at home. That's where they really go under.
It was like ten and oh to the under. They're
not at home this time. But yeah, he says, eighteen
and six to the underverse teams with the win percentage
greater than fifty five. Definitely looked, definitely looked at that.
Definitely think about an under in this game. All right, Next,
we have Bucks and Blazers opened up ten Now twelve
and a half is what we'll call the consensus for
the Blazers. Total hasn't really moved. Injury report. We will
look at the Blazers with Jeremy Grant, Kragiet, Robert Williams
all questionable, Sharp remains out for the Bucks, Gary Harris, KPJ.
Giannis all out, Bobby Porters Junior and I'm sorry, Bobby
Porters and uh Kyle Kuzma both questionable. This is one.
I mean, I don't really want a whole out to
do with the Bucks. The Bucks just not doing anything really,
the like they're not scoring, not getting stops. So I
guess I mean it makes me lean towards the Blazers.
I don't see the Blazers as this kind of points
spread team, but I mean they did blow out the Nets.
I don't think the Bucks are as bad as the Nets,
but they can lose too, So I guess I'll agree
with the market slightly here, moving this one up towards
the Blazers. But ultimately I don't really want anything to
do with this game. You got it on Nets. Just
thanks on the team total last night. Yeah, we talk
out some good ones sometimes. Appreciate you the Shack La Shack.
I'm not sure how to say it had some sub
ski great insight yesterday. Appreciate you guys. Hopefully we can
have some more good looks today. All right, keep moving here.
A lot of games, a lot, a lot a lot
of games. MAVs and Nuggets opened up. Minus fourteen is
down to pretty much twelve everywhere total right around the opener.
Not too much movement here. Let's look at the injuries
for Dallas. Gafford is questionable, Brandon Williams is questionable, Caleb
Martin is out for the Nuggets. Yeah, Peyton Watson probable,
Aaron Gordon questionable. Let's look at this. I know the
Nuggets did play last night, so both teams actually played
last night. I don't remember mass who the MAVs play.
Oh no, I'm sorry, not both teams. Yeah, the MAVs
last game was versus the Warriors, but they did go
into overtime. That's what I'm thinking about there for the Nuggets,
they played the Suns yesterday. They didn't come and that's
all I cared about, especially with the way the standings are.
You know, the Nuggets they need every win they can get. Now,
does that mean that they're gonna win by twelve and
a half on back to back? Not necessarily, and they
had to travel. I mean it's not a far trip,
but from Phoenix back home to Denver. I don't know.
It's just the Mavericks did is dirty really in that
to start the week in that game versus the Warriors.
But I would want Gafford in, and if he's in,
I mean, they still look like they're they're getting healthy,
they're getting a lot of points here, Nuggets back to back,
laying as many points. I could only look towards the Mavericks.
But I'm gonna stay to my rule and I just
don't want to be betting against the Nuggets right now.
Don't want to be betting against the Spurs either. Like
I said, so, I'm gonna stick to that. But if
I had to play this one, I would be looking
at the Mavericks side. Glenn reminds us that the Nuggers
on No Rest are twelve and four to over this year.
That could be another way to look at it, especially
if Gafferds wrote out, you know, less rint protection for Dallas.
There probably play more small on faster. I can understand it.
Over in this game, I could. I could be talked
into that. I'll look in that direction. I try to
find more reasons to back it that the day goes on.
Appreciate you for sharing that, Glenn. Walker, Nets and Warriors
opened up minus thirteen and now it looks like twelve
or twelve and a half total open two twenty and
it's down to two seventeen. Pretty much everywhere seventeen two
seventeen and a half two sixteen has it's everywhere, so
make sure you line shot. But it's going down, is
the point for the Nets. Clowny's out, Porters out, Friory's out,
Wolf is out for the Warriors. No Steph, Seth Horford
or post available here. So third game in four nights
for the Nets, fourth and six, I believe for both
teams here the Nets coming off of another beatdown. I mean,
Nets just can't wait for the season to be over.
They just it can't end soon enough. I mean, they're
gonna smoke the scene's night in and night out. Not
the Warriors. They did get that overtime win versus Mavericks.
I just I can't as bad as the Nets are,
I feel like the Warriors have been just as bad.
Playing twelve and a half with this Warriors team, There's
no way that I could do that. This Warriors defense,
let's like one thirty one. Granted that was an overtime
game one twenty six, twenty. I don't know. They're not
playing good enough defense. The offense can't be trusted to
light his number. So for those reasons, it's Nets or
nothing in this game for me. Joey Bett says Nets
been in CanCon since the All Star Break. I agree,
it just they're done, all right. I'm not even sure
what this is. Georgia's Sylvia asked me how you like
the Falloff album? No clue, I don't even know what
that is. All right, let's move to Oh my god,
we finally made it the last game on the twelve
games late. Raptors and Clippers opened up three and a
half looks like four total open two twenty four and
a half looks like as high as two twenty seven
up there for the Raptors, Ingram is questionable, Yaka Perdo
and quickly also questionable. For the Clippers. Kawhi is questionable
along with Jordan Miller, so could be missing some offense
there for that Clipper side. They do get mathering back,
that is a plus. You know, the offense really fell
off for this Clippers team for a couple of games.
Let me see if I can get to this year schedule.
Clippers did put up. I mean they got back to
scoring their last couple after two kind of duds. Nine
in their last two. You know they're gonna play with pace.
They just need to have some guys out there with
Garland who can score. Kawhi and Matherin would be some
of those guys Miller can score too. I would want
them available, and that would make me hesitate to play
you over early in this game, because if these guys
start getting rolled out, I would not be happy. Also
quickly being questionable with that ideal, you'd want him and
he likes to play fast. He's the point guard Ingram questionable.
All of these question marks make me not able to
get to the window with an over. It's just that simple.
So need some injuries to show up in this game
to make a confident wager. But you guys know the
direction that I'm looking. Let's see, all right, that's the
that's the car for today. Before we move over the
best best, let me just look at the comments again.
There's a quick question here, Ski. Do you have any
future spits or any strictly day to day I do
make futures bets. I'm sure I'll make more, of course
when we get to playoffs. You know right now, my
futures and win totals, whatever however you want to call them,
They've done so. They've done good so far three and
ol so far facers under their win total spurs over
their win total spurs to win the Southwest Division. I
still have a sixers under their win total, which looks
like it might not it might lose have rockets under
their win total. They need two more losses, we'll see,
and I have winby to win Defensive Player of the Year,
which looks pretty good. So I do make futures. I
will be making more for playoffs and hopefully we can
continue to do well with them. So that's the show
for today. Before I put those best bets, we'll do
a little bit of promo like we usually doing this show.
That means first up by three, get three free. It's
still going six days, come out to just sixty nine dollars.
It's a good way to be involved for about a week.
You can choose Ravino or myself. If you like to
be involved longer, you know, you can get the all
in Ultimate Access pass comes out to under four dollars
per day. And for example, if you want to go
check out Ravino and purchase his for a year, you'll
get a twenty five percent bonus coupon that you could
then come back and check out some of my stuff.
So that's a good way to get involved. We say, uh,
you know, I want one or the other. I want
to rock with both of my guys. Forty five and
twenty three. You get double the NBA court Vision three
days for just fifty nine dollars. Like I said, we've
been hot. Yesterday was a three and oh NBA day
between Ravino and myself, you know, following day not winning,
we've been winning. I feel like I feel like we've
been winning every day since we've made this promo. Sometimes
one person might have to carry the other, but I
do think this is done well. So do always want
to promote that. Yeah, that's what we have for promo.
So on that note, we'll move it to the best
bet and I'll go to the game that I said.
I'm pretty sure Raveno, you know, woke up and at
least looked at this game. But I think he'll be
on it too. Lakers and Pacers up and over. Two
thirty seven and a half is the best number I
see available out there right now. You have all of
these guys probable for the Pacers, it should only go
up once they get rolled in. And these are all
the guys who are the bucket getters for the Lakers.
We have potential impetus protection mission with aiden questionable, some
defense missing with smart and throw out, and it's just
a Lakers defense that can be trusted and a Pacers
defense that can't be trusted. So one plus one equals two.
This one gets into the two forties rather easily tonight,
so that'll be my best bet for the show. Appreciate
all of you guys for tuning in. Even Rovino tapped
in from the airport and said, what's up. Definitely miss
having him on the show. If you're new, you know
I usually do the show with somebody else with Rovino
and he will be back next week. We talk the
games out together. But yeah, appreciate the chat. You guys.
Definitely make this enjoyable because like I said, I don't
like talking to myself. Great people, great insight in the chat,
and we're all helping each other get to the window,
so best to look everybody on all your action. I'll
be back again tomorrow and I'll catch you guys then
