1 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,839 Speaker 1: What's up, everybody. Welcome into another episode of Prophet Picks. 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,560 If you are new, we do already start this show 3 00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:12,080 by being transparent. But I can't remember the last time 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,800 we did a show rob you holiday season joined some 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:22,719 time with the family. But I will say NFL has 6 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:28,800 been disaster, definitely disaster. NBA got a little bit cold, 7 00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:32,240 I think since we haven't been doing this show. But 8 00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:36,200 the past two days Saturday and Sunday, I did win 9 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,520 both my players in the NBA, So we'll see we 10 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,640 can carry that into this week. Good to be back 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,679 with you. If you know how you doing. 12 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 2: We're doing good, Ski, We're doing good. Yeah, it comes 13 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,640 that you just so fast and furious. Now even today, 14 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,960 just going across the board, there's you know, maybe eighty 15 00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:59,679 ninety college basketball games too, so there's a lot going on. 16 00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:04,400 And if was good to me yesterday another nice day 17 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,200 that had one loss, which was the Tampa Bay Miami game. No, yeah, 18 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,159 Tampa Bay Miami game. Over the total to which I 19 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,239 now place Baker Mayfield on the hell no list. It'll 20 00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:19,760 be Carolina next Sunday or nothing for me because I'm 21 00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:22,159 sick of losing money on Tampa. But the rest of 22 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,640 the card was good to me, so we had a 23 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,439 profitable day. NBA actually is four and one last five plays, 24 00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:31,239 so we've been getting NBA right, which is nice, and 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,799 look forward to maybe catching a couple more here tonight 26 00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:34,359 on this card. 27 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,079 Speaker 1: There's definitely some games that I have bet some more 28 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,640 I'm looking to, you know, open up my wallet and 29 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,519 get involved in, and there's some that I absolutely don't 30 00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:48,000 even want to think about, So obviously we're gonna spend 31 00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:51,719 less time on those ones in this first game might 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,760 be in that category. Rob you no bucks and Hornets 33 00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:57,280 bucks open two and a half looked like three or 34 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,400 three and a half. There's no call Colk burner out, 35 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,480 plumble out. Giannis is playing. I mean, it looks real 36 00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:10,599 easy to me to go and bet the bucks for Johannison, 37 00:02:11,159 --> 00:02:14,479 but I just I have very little interest in doing it. 38 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,000 So this is one I'm very likely to just you know, 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,560 push off to the side of you know, how do 40 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,560 you feel about this one? 41 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: No, I gotta ask you, did I fall into the 42 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:28,400 easy trap because I bet Milwaukee. Are you're probably yelling 43 00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:33,719 at me, No, don't look at but I did I 44 00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:37,240 bet Milwaukee. Giannis came back, they won a couple of games. 45 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,599 The injuries that you listed was another part of the 46 00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:43,319 handicap here. I think Charlot's readjusting a little bit without 47 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,719 Kinnipple in the lineup, who actually was a huge part 48 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:49,520 as we've talked about most of the season for their offense. 49 00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:54,800 But I just feel like Milwaukee seems like a team 50 00:02:55,199 --> 00:03:00,360 that's got the right focus, that is becoming a little 51 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,360 more cohesive with their leader back. The last two wins 52 00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:05,560 helped me get to this one. I didn't think the 53 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:07,919 price was that bad. Now, granted I got the better 54 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,120 price two and a half rather than three and a half, 55 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,560 So you know, if some betters on this game are 56 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,599 kind of shying away because of the movement upward, I 57 00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:21,479 still think there's probably a little room here. I just 58 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:27,000 don't trust Charlotte defensively whatsoever. And I think Milwaukee's probably 59 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,199 got to start stacking wins at some point. So I 60 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,280 did play this one. Played the Bucks, not one of 61 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,439 my strongest players of the day, but I'm there. Bucks 62 00:03:34,439 --> 00:03:36,400 minus two and a half, which is, like I say, now, 63 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,319 it's up to three and a half. 64 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: Sons and Wizards not super interested in this game. The 65 00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:47,000 total did take a nose dive though from two forty 66 00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:49,039 all the way down at two thirty two and a half, 67 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,719 and I'm looking Grayson Allen, Ryan Dunn, Jalen Green, Mark 68 00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:58,879 Williams all out for the Wizards, Kyshawn, George Kispert, Middleton 69 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,240 Whitmore all out, a lot missing. I might just recommend Igadaro, 70 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,360 maybe his rebounds or something with him, because he should 71 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,039 get a lot more minutes with Mark Williams out. Other 72 00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:14,199 than that, not really interested in Sons at Wizards. Anything 73 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,240 for you here, Raveno. 74 00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:19,759 Speaker 2: That was quite the fight, wasn't it. Alvarado against Mark Williams. 75 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,360 That was crazy. I had interest in Phoenix before I 76 00:04:25,439 --> 00:04:29,160 went to the injury report, just based on scheduling Washington 77 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,439 back to back wins, which never happens. Washington without rest, 78 00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:35,319 Phoenix rested. I thought I could play Phoenix, but the 79 00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:38,040 price looked a little high. Then when I went to 80 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,360 the injury list, there's a lot missing from Phoenix as 81 00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:43,560 well as Washington, so I let it go. We don't 82 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,000 have to talk too much about that one. 83 00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: Magic and Raptors. I want nothing to do with the 84 00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:53,240 Raptors without RJ. Barry, and especially without RJ and Jaka Pertle. 85 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,920 So that's the situation for them tonight. I believe they're 86 00:04:56,959 --> 00:05:02,160 also on or back to back, but there is travel 87 00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:06,120 involved for this magic squad. Magic without Mo Wagner and 88 00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:13,120 Franz Wagner, Suggs is doubtful here tonight. You know, I can't. 89 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,040 I just can't bet the Rappers without those two guys 90 00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:18,120 have shown me how terrible they've been all season long. 91 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,240 So lean magic. But yeah, the next next few games 92 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,319 I like a lot more than these first few. 93 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like a little bit of Orlando here, simply 94 00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:37,199 because again of scheduling Toronto not only back to back, 95 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,040 but it was overtime with Golden State yesterday, so take 96 00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:43,480 a little more out of the legs that don't include, 97 00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:48,800 as you mentioned, Barrett and Perdles. So I think Orlando's 98 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,160 probably the right side here. Didn't think the price tag 99 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,160 was too high. I could be talked into it by 100 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,000 the time tip off comes, but I think if that's 101 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,920 the case, I should probably play it now ski because 102 00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:01,720 I don't know that that number coming back toward Toronto 103 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,199 anytime soon. Waiting on this one might cost me more. 104 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,279 So I may get to this at minus one and 105 00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:08,680 a half with the Orlando side. 106 00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I can understand that. Shout out to Mark and 107 00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:15,360 the chat. Appreciate you tapping in. We'll go over to 108 00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:17,560 a game I did get there with and this is 109 00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:21,560 Nuggets and Heat opened up two and a half. Not 110 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,000 a whole lot of movement there total, I mean, not 111 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000 a whole lot of movement, but two forty five pretty 112 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,720 high total there. Injury report, Bam is probable, Hero and 113 00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:37,360 Rosier are both out for the Nuggets. Baits is out, 114 00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:42,720 bron Gordon, cam Johnson all out. You know, for me, 115 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,040 this is a Nuggets team that it just feels like 116 00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:50,720 they're starting to miss too much here Ravino. I mean, 117 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,920 they're a great team, but missing what is that three 118 00:06:54,959 --> 00:07:00,759 starters now they've lost two of their last three games. Meanwhile, 119 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,279 Heat are healthy. I mean, they played a big chunk 120 00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:06,720 of the season without Tyler Hero. It doesn't really move 121 00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:08,360 me too much when I see him out of the 122 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,639 lineup anymore. Right now, the Heat the better defensive team. 123 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,120 He'd have been a better rebounding team lately, he'd are 124 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,600 at home. It just seems like this should be a 125 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,680 Heat w So I took the Heat side. I did 126 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,160 grab the plus two and a half. What do you 127 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:28,279 think about Nuggets and heat? 128 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,759 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, Actually on the Nuggets side, these Brawn 129 00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:37,360 and Gordon injuries or Brown and Gordon injuries have been 130 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,199 in play for quite a while now. And we remember 131 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,000 back to when Jamal Murray about a week and a 132 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,279 half ago told this sty just play fast. I mean, 133 00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:47,600 for Denver, it's a one way ticket. Nowadays, Ski, I 134 00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:49,680 really don't even look at the game itself. I just 135 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,879 look toward the total right now, seven and one to 136 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,519 the over with their team total. We talked about that 137 00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:58,600 a lot before we took the holidays off, about how 138 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,279 if you find them in one twenty one, one twenty 139 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:04,680 two range, it's automatic. Even if they climb even higher 140 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,920 to the mid one twenties, it's still a pretty good play. 141 00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:10,839 Their totals are six and two, if you want to 142 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,480 go back further, eleven and three over the course of 143 00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,319 the last fifteen As far as full game totals are concerned, 144 00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:20,199 it it just screams points when the Nuggets play, and 145 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,160 with Miami, it just adds to what I think about 146 00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:28,879 offense happening here. Again. It's one that I know you 147 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:31,480 call your short list. It's something that I wrote down 148 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:33,600 this morning and didn't pull the trigger on yet. But 149 00:08:34,399 --> 00:08:36,080 I don't know if you can make until you make 150 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,279 these Nuggets games, you know, two fifty plus. I don't 151 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,000 know that even this number is high enough two forty four. 152 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,039 Haven't played it yet. The only way I could play 153 00:08:45,039 --> 00:08:47,279 this game is some form of total, whether it be 154 00:08:47,399 --> 00:08:50,720 either one of these team totals because Denver's defense hasn't 155 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,600 been there this year, or the full game total. As 156 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,360 I mentioned, I haven't played yet, but I wouldn't argue 157 00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:00,919 anybody off of playing over in any form of that game. 158 00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: I can understand that I'm gonna keep going down the 159 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,480 list to Warriors and Nets, and man, this one opened 160 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,039 seven for the Warriors, came down going back up. I 161 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,200 see some six and a halfs out there actually right now. 162 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,519 As far as the total, it opened two twenty five 163 00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:26,120 and a half, and I guess it came down and 164 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,840 went back up again for this one too, because right 165 00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:33,279 back at two twenty five and a half, I'm just 166 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,360 double checking glancing here to make sure I didn't make 167 00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:37,919 a mistake. But yeah, that's what I'm seeing so far. 168 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,080 So I guess that's what you get when you know 169 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,200 Steph Curry's list is questionable and then it is removed 170 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,519 from the injury report and upgraded to available to play. 171 00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:51,799 You know, I'm gonna ask you because I did not 172 00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:55,759 watch the Warriors game yesterday. I know they played, but 173 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,799 Steph got hurt or something I heard. I saw some 174 00:10:00,879 --> 00:10:05,879 kind of notification where Steph got hurt. It looks like 175 00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:09,159 everybody was assuming he wasn't gonna play, Like, did you 176 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,039 see what happened there? What kind of injury it was? 177 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: Well, I saw that he was out of the game 178 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,399 when I turned back because I was bumping around between 179 00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:21,480 football and basketball. But I agree totally because when I 180 00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:24,039 looked at these games last night, it seemed like the 181 00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:31,960 move against Golden State happened proactively without any real knowledge 182 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,639 of your confirmation of yes or no. And now that 183 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,120 he's off, we see, like you say, the total backup, 184 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,480 so couldn't have been that serious. Ski, I didn't see 185 00:10:40,519 --> 00:10:45,159 the exact injury at the time. I would say in 186 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,000 this case, Steph has been playing pretty well as of late, 187 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,600 as has the team. For the most part. It's almost 188 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,360 like Steve Kerr. We talked about him and his you know, 189 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,159 rotations and his coaching, et cetera, et cetera. But it 190 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,039 seems like he's rounded the tree up here. I would 191 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,360 think that in this case if step is involved and 192 00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:09,519 we see a wow, I'm just looking now, it's even 193 00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:12,039 climbed higher. This team total for Golden State was one 194 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,200 eleven and a half. It's now one fifteen and a half. 195 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,159 One fifteen and a half. I don't know that that 196 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,000 scares me. That would be the only way I look. 197 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,120 You could perhaps look at it Brooklyn team total under 198 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,039 if you think it's going to be lower scoring. Haven't 199 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,639 played the game, but I think I could be talked 200 00:11:29,639 --> 00:11:33,240 to the Golden State team total over tonight. They've been 201 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,320 playing pretty well on the offensive side. Now that being said, 202 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,519 you can't trust what Steve Kerr is going to do 203 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,879 with these rotations in the second of back to backs. 204 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,759 It's been a thing for a long time now, so 205 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,159 again you got to have that little warning sign up 206 00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:53,080 when you go about that game. It does look like 207 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,000 they're trying a little more now though to me and 208 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,240 in fact Jimmy Butler, as I scanned the injury list, 209 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:04,080 now now that's probable as well, so could be an 210 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,240 instance for Golden State's gonna come to play. 211 00:12:08,039 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: Well. I guess which one do you trust more? I 212 00:12:10,519 --> 00:12:14,279 mean Warriors one nineteen plus and seven of their last 213 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,519 eight games. Nets. I'm not mistaken. Yeah, Nets last five games, 214 00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:23,399 the number one defensive rated team Rabino. They've held five 215 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:29,159 straight opponents under one oh eight. So which one are 216 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,559 you gonna trust more? Here? Team's been scoring, pretty good, 217 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,320 team that's been playing really really good defense. One thing 218 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,840 I don't like here for the NETS side, as far 219 00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:41,200 as the defense, Cam Thomas, that's gonna make the defense look, 220 00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:44,840 you know, a little bit worse. He's gonna give you 221 00:12:44,919 --> 00:12:47,039 some baskets, but he's gonna make the defense look a 222 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,759 little bit worse. So that's what helped me off of 223 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,840 I was thinking Golden State team total under, honestly, and 224 00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:56,000 I was thinking Steph was not gonna play. So now, Stephan, 225 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,320 I can't bet the team total under, but I can 226 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,360 potentially still get there with a NETS team playing really 227 00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:07,200 good defense at home and you know, having a couple 228 00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:10,840 bucket getters in the lineup to keep it within reach, 229 00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,840 you know, Mpja and camp Thomas. I think the Nets 230 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,519 at six and a half might be a little bit 231 00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:19,639 too any points still, any last thoughts before you move on? 232 00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again in that corner. Ski in the Brooklyn 233 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,799 corner is always as I mentioned, Steve Kerr on back 234 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,480 to backs with his coaching techniques or just you don't 235 00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:30,960 know what you're going to get from him. You may 236 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,559 get Steph, but you may get twenty two minutes of steph. 237 00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:35,440 You know what I mean? You don't know what you're 238 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,639 getting from that side. And real quick, just to harp 239 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,440 a little bit on your yeah, you mentioning the Brooklyn 240 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,639 team defense. Remember the quotes that we had last week 241 00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:48,919 from Nick Claxton who said that was an angle they 242 00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:53,399 were taking. I mean that seems to be there. I'll 243 00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:56,080 call it identity or the identity that they want to 244 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,080 present in games. And that was a defensive minded team. 245 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,600 So again, yeah, two sides of the fence, lots of 246 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,879 offense or lots of defense. What do you want? 247 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: I'll just leave the total alone. I'll rock with the 248 00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:11,679 home team playing some defense, getting a few too many 249 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,919 points I think here for me, so I had it 250 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,919 on my short list, I'll put a check mark next 251 00:14:17,919 --> 00:14:22,759 to that. I want t Wolves and Bulls open four 252 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,919 up to six total open two thirty eight and a 253 00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:27,759 half up besides two forty three and a half. I 254 00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:33,879 mentioned the injuries Shannon Terrence, Shannon juniors out, Zach Collins out. 255 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,639 I mean, this is absolutely I cannot bet this game. Ralph. 256 00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:41,399 You know, these are two teams I want to fay 257 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,200 both of them. Timberwolves don't deserve to lay really verse anybody, 258 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,039 and the Bulls they just they stink. They're gonna have 259 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,240 to show me some kind of consistency before I even 260 00:14:51,679 --> 00:14:55,320 consider backing them again. So this is an easy pass 261 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,960 for me, or you know, anything for you here. 262 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:01,799 Speaker 2: It's funny they had that ive and oh ats run 263 00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:05,000 going until they lost to Milwaukee. That five and oh 264 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,519 consisted of back to backs over Cleveland, back to backs 265 00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:15,559 over Atlanta, and then won against Philadelphia. So they definitely 266 00:15:15,559 --> 00:15:19,559 capitalized on two teams in Cleveland Atlanta, none of which 267 00:15:19,559 --> 00:15:22,679 played defense. But I'm with you where Minnesota is concerned. 268 00:15:22,679 --> 00:15:26,080 You know, the night that they played Denver Christmas Night, 269 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,919 right Christmas Night, because Jokich had like fifty six an 270 00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:31,279 Aunt was going crazy in that game as well, and 271 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,440 it looked like for the first time they were actually 272 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,879 their demeanor looked like they wanted to win a game. 273 00:15:38,919 --> 00:15:41,039 But for the most part this year, Minnesota has been 274 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,039 lack of days ago in my opinion, especially on the 275 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,639 defensive ends, so it's very difficult. I don't know what 276 00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:48,960 their road favorite record is, Ski, I don't have it 277 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,159 exactly in front of me, but I don't think it's 278 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,000 real good. I think you're burning money betting the Timberwolves 279 00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:57,080 as a road favorite this year. So if I were 280 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,519 going to play, i'd play bulls and bulls only. That 281 00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:01,679 would be my I suggested they were five and zero 282 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,120 against the spread before their most recent loss to Milwaukee, 283 00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:07,799 but I couldn't. I couldn't lay points with Minnesota here. 284 00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: Three and seven is the record for the rules as 285 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,960 a real favorite, burning money. Absolutely, Hawks and Thunder you're 286 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000 missing a little bit too. I keep this one simple. 287 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,080 You know, Trey you unquestionable, Jaylen Johnson out, porzingis out. 288 00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:25,000 I mean it is some question marks on the OKC side, 289 00:16:25,039 --> 00:16:28,200 but they were just missing too much already for Atlanta 290 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,679 for me to even consider. So it's Thunder and nothink. 291 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,159 I think I'll just stay out the way here. Anything 292 00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:35,279 for you. You know, Hawks and. 293 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 2: Thunder, Yeah, I think I capitalized on OKC yesterday. They 294 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,720 were off the back to back losses and they lost 295 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,679 again to San Antonio inside those two and I played 296 00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:48,080 their team total over one twenty and a half yesterday 297 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,399 and they came out with a vengeance, got the one 298 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,519 twenty nine cash the ticket, so I'm happy with that. 299 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,159 I'm gonna pass this one. 300 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: All right. We agree on that Calves and Spurs interesting. 301 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,200 I'll say that it did open four and a half 302 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,720 for the Spurs down to three and a half. Total 303 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,319 went up from two forty one and a half to 304 00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:12,559 two forty three and a half. Darren Fox is questionable, 305 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,960 Max Drews and Larning that is junior out for the 306 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,079 calv side. Here here's where I'm at. Probably you know 307 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:26,519 the Cavaliers, I keep I've been saying they stink, they suck. 308 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,480 They've been terrible, and they have been They've been extremely 309 00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:37,759 underachieving this season. Now they're getting a little healthier and 310 00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:39,519 it's getting to the point where we're starting to see 311 00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:44,920 them as dogs, you know, in these games. Maybe they're 312 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:50,599 gonna become or maybe they are undervalue now for the Spurs, 313 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,079 I think Darren Fox is a big deal the you know, 314 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,759 obviously they're winning to start the year without him, but 315 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,559 he's been a big part of what they've been doing. 316 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,680 Wemby's been hurt. I know Wemby's back in the starting 317 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,880 lineup now, but you want Daron Fox out there if 318 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,880 you're a spursbacker. I want to think that Cleveland can 319 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,920 keep it close. That defense has just been so horrendous 320 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,000 that I haven't been able to push the button if 321 00:18:16,079 --> 00:18:18,039 d Aaron Fox is out. You know, obviously you're gonna 322 00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:19,759 love having the Cavs plus three and a half in 323 00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:23,200 your pocket. Still doesn't mean it's gonna win. That's the 324 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,279 direction I lay though. How do you see if you know? 325 00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:30,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna say kind of the same thing. Because 326 00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:36,720 the Christmas Day game, Cleveland took money. The money came 327 00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:39,759 towards the Cavaliers side, and I didn't understand why anybody 328 00:18:39,799 --> 00:18:42,119 would want the Cavaliers at that point. They had just 329 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,000 beaten New Orleans by twenty three the game before. But 330 00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:46,599 Cleveland played a heck of a game. I mean, the 331 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,519 Knicks fourth quarter rally was crazy and that one. So 332 00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:52,039 when that happened in Cleveland covered, I'm like, well, that's 333 00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:56,200 two in a row, and maybe the money knew something 334 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,720 because Cleveland looked motivated and then it went and get 335 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,039 whacked by Houston by seven with some rest, and I'm like, 336 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,119 it's the same old Cleveland. They stink, And now we're 337 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,359 in a situation where they're taking a little bit of 338 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,720 money and they're taking it obviously because the de Aaron 339 00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:17,160 Fox injury or potential injury is being played as a 340 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,160 fate of San Antonio. Here, boy, I'm not sure. I mean, 341 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,559 I would love to have Dearon Fox in there as well, 342 00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:26,480 but I think this game can reach the total. I mean, 343 00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:32,160 San Antonio for all of their good play as of late, 344 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,799 I don't know that anybody stops Cleveland from scoring when 345 00:19:35,799 --> 00:19:38,000 they're right. Houston did the other night, so I shouldn't 346 00:19:38,039 --> 00:19:40,559 say that because Cleveland only got to one hundred against Houston. 347 00:19:40,799 --> 00:19:43,920 But I find Houston to be a far better rebounding 348 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,440 defensive team than the Spurs. The Spurs play with a 349 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,720 little more pace than Houston. I could look over here, 350 00:19:51,759 --> 00:19:53,680 Ski two forty three and a half I think is 351 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,440 doable by these two teams. If I just think back 352 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,519 to that Christmas Day game between the Knicks and Cleveland. 353 00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:02,240 That one was like two point fifty when it landed, 354 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,119 and the Knicks play ultra slow, but Cleveland gives up 355 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,519 Buckets like crazy. So I don't know. I think I 356 00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:10,279 could look it over. I can't play the game. I 357 00:20:10,319 --> 00:20:12,119 think it's priced in a spot where I don't want 358 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,960 to trust Cleveland only take in three. 359 00:20:13,759 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: Points Pacers and Rockets. This is going to be a 360 00:20:19,279 --> 00:20:22,440 pass for me. I like the last two games on 361 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,319 the NBA slate, this one, I do not anything for 362 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:25,599 you here. 363 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 2: You know, I think Houston team total is live here 364 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,400 one eighteen and a half. Indiana has just abandoned defense 365 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:38,000 the last week, so to me, Houston can name their 366 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,680 number in this one. I don't. I just want to 367 00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:43,680 check and see if Houston's got if this is the 368 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,960 front end of back to backs for them, and it's not. 369 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:53,160 They won't play again until Oh no, they am I 370 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,440 reading the schedule wrong. Do they have back to backs tomorrow? 371 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: First? Let I'll tell you right now, the Rockets get 372 00:21:03,279 --> 00:21:04,480 their rockets. 373 00:21:05,519 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 2: I'm seeing two different things. No, yeah, they have a 374 00:21:09,759 --> 00:21:11,960 day off in between. So for me, like I said, 375 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,359 I think Houston team total is really live here is 376 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,079 simply based on the fact that Indiana's defense is I 377 00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:20,839 don't even know what we're how about wretched. It's been 378 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,839 that bad. Red just miserable. It's a bad defense right now. 379 00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:28,519 Speaker 1: All right, we'll move it on over to Nick's at 380 00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:32,119 Pelicans opened up minus six, looks like eight or eight 381 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,960 and a half total open two forty and a half 382 00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:40,519 up to two forty six and a half. Don't see 383 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,519 too many injuries here? Well, actually Alvarado out, Irv Jones 384 00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:49,480 out my bat on that, and I do see injuries. 385 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:55,640 Josh Hart, Mitchell, Robinson, Shammitt all out, Tyler Kullak is questionable. 386 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,240 McBride probable, that's at you know, I could get him 387 00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:03,160 back out there. But this just you know, you know, 388 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,839 the Pelicans failed to cover two games after covering you know, 389 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,920 every game for a while. But they've been playing solid basketball. 390 00:22:13,799 --> 00:22:17,119 And this next team Jacquelyn Hight on the road, on 391 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,640 the road, they don't even have a winning record now, 392 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,640 all these injuries, and you expect them to win by margin. First, 393 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,119 the Pelicans team I think is playing competitive at the moment. 394 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,279 I can only look towards the Pelicans. Plus, how do 395 00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:29,640 you see it? 396 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 2: You know, I feel like we agree on that ski. 397 00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:37,200 The Knicks home road dichotomy is significant, no doubt about it. 398 00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:39,359 And I just don't know that with all the injuries, 399 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,279 that they'll bring the effort that the Pelicans, you know, 400 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,640 for what it's worth, have brought effort almost every night 401 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,359 for the last three weeks up until this recent three 402 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,240 game ATS losing streak. It was six in a row. 403 00:22:53,319 --> 00:22:55,359 Like you say, it was nine out of ten. They 404 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,920 were due probably to go south for a couple of games. 405 00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:00,880 But I don't know that this is the game here 406 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:06,920 to play against them. The Knicks, again, they're not that 407 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:09,200 good of a defensive team either. I mean, they played 408 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,039 one quarter in that Cleveland game, one quarter, fourth quarter, 409 00:23:13,079 --> 00:23:14,680 and they won, and that was on their home floor. 410 00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:16,960 I would think points are probably worth taken here. 411 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,319 Speaker 1: With New Orleans, all right, we're in agreement on that. 412 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,200 We'll go to the last game on the NBA slate 413 00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:25,960 that's the MAVs and the Blazers. Opened up with the 414 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,880 MAVs as a small favorite, but we now see the 415 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,640 Blazers minus two and a half or three, depending where 416 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,880 he shop. Total came down a little bit from two 417 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,960 thirty four as low as two thirty one and a half. 418 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,039 Let's take a look at some of those injuries for Dallas. 419 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:48,720 Anthony Davis is questionable, Brandon Williams questionable for the Blazers. 420 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,720 Time Lord is probable, Jeremy Grant is questionable. There will 421 00:23:52,759 --> 00:24:00,279 be no Scoot, Drew Holliday, Mati's Tible or Wesley. Three 422 00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:02,720 of the last four were doubtful. But I'm assuming. I 423 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,319 mean they haven't been playing. They're not going to play. 424 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,079 It is a back to back for the Blazers. The 425 00:24:08,079 --> 00:24:11,000 Blazers have been good on back to backs. I want 426 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,160 to say they're four on one ats now. Granted they're 427 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,559 not always laying points here Rovino, so that's that's a 428 00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:21,160 whole nother different story. I chose to go with Dallas 429 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,319 team total under one sixteen and a half here, And 430 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,039 if I'm liking new Portland side at all, it's not 431 00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:28,880 because they're putting the ball in the basket. I mean, 432 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,920 I just start there. It's the worst offensive rated team 433 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,400 in the last five games, top ten defensive rated team, 434 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,839 though in that same span in the Mavericks, their offense 435 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,319 has been not great. If I get specific numbers, I 436 00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:45,480 think they're twenty seventh offensive rated team last five games. 437 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,119 They failed to clipse one sixteen and a half. It's 438 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,000 either and I'll tell you right now, it's either. Six 439 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:53,400 of their last seven or seven of their last eight games, 440 00:24:53,960 --> 00:25:01,119 and the Blazers looking at their last's there are four 441 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,599 of their last five they've held opponents under that. So 442 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,119 Dallas team total under was what I got there with 443 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,319 here at one sixteen and a half. Rob, You know, 444 00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:14,640 I think if the Blazers gonna win more defensive, slower 445 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,880 pace game, how do you see it? 446 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 2: It's interesting with the MAVs team total is twelve and 447 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:25,200 two to the over their last fourteen. But I've always 448 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,000 said ski is saying games go over is nice. You 449 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,480 have to put it into context of what the number is. 450 00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:33,599 So let's just use tonight's number one sixteen and a half. 451 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,240 They've only in that twelve and two run, they've only 452 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:40,680 gotten over one sixteen and a half four times, so 453 00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:42,960 eight times they didn't. Even though it's a twelve and 454 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,839 two over record, it's not against this number. And like 455 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,200 we always say, we're betting numbers here, so that number 456 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,160 probably seems a little bit too high. And in fact, 457 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,039 one of the games where they got over it was 458 00:25:55,079 --> 00:25:58,799 an overtime game. Overtime eighted to get to one thirty three. 459 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,599 So certainly, guys that are in the chat and we 460 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,880 have an extremely knowledgeable chat room on your show. Here, Ski, 461 00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:10,039 you got to put these things into context, so I'm 462 00:26:10,039 --> 00:26:12,640 not going to argue anybody off of that. I would 463 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,640 say this, the Portland home numbers, you can't really dispute them. 464 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,519 They're a really good home dog. They're not a good 465 00:26:20,519 --> 00:26:22,720 home favorite. And now that the line is switched, I 466 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,799 don't think I would want Portland in the favorites role. 467 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,480 Obviously there's defensive pieces missing for Dallas. It's from protection 468 00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:33,319 for you know, Portland. It's at the head of the 469 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,480 circle with holidays. So I don't know. I didn't play 470 00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:41,920 the game, but I think it's important to let everybody 471 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,119 know that. You know, just because Dallas is twelve and 472 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,720 two team total over last fourteen doesn't mean they're over 473 00:26:46,759 --> 00:26:49,519 one sixteen and a half at all. 474 00:26:49,599 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, the number is the equalizer. Absolutely, it's important. 475 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,440 All right, let's talk tiny bit. I don't even think 476 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,240 I made a bad Yeah I did, Rams and Falcons. 477 00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:07,400 Your football players have been much better than mine, Letley 478 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:15,240 Rabo or really all season, so uh, I don't really 479 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:20,200 feel strong about this game at all. I'll say, I'll 480 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:25,559 ask you, are the Falcons eliminated from the playoffs? Shit, Yes, 481 00:27:27,319 --> 00:27:29,599 so they don't really have much to play for. I 482 00:27:29,599 --> 00:27:33,039 don't really like backing teams like that. I did that, 483 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,200 It's just just doesn't turn out well for me too often. 484 00:27:38,279 --> 00:27:41,759 So Allen Rams, curious what you like here, Rams and Falcons. 485 00:27:43,799 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, with the Rams, ski I think that 486 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,279 they become a very predictable team. They're gonna score on anybody, 487 00:27:53,559 --> 00:27:58,519 just doesn't matter. Their offense is that good, and even 488 00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:01,039 with the without DeVante Adam in the last game, it 489 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:07,079 was that good. They lit up Seattle offensively. But their 490 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,480 defense is just no good right now. And in fact, 491 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,359 a lot of the quotes that I read coming out 492 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,720 of Rams camp is there are concerns about this defense 493 00:28:16,759 --> 00:28:19,960 heading into the playoffs, so they got to outscore people. 494 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,960 I think it probably brings you to two choices here. 495 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,119 Either you play the Rams team total over twenty eight 496 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,519 and a half, or you include the Falcons and think 497 00:28:29,559 --> 00:28:33,359 that they're good enough to score on this mediocre let's 498 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,519 call them Rams defense, and you bet the full game under. 499 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,119 I think the Falcons at home, I think this is 500 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,119 their final home game if I'm not mistaken, But I 501 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,480 think it in is. Whether it is or not, doesn't 502 00:28:47,519 --> 00:28:50,440 factor in as much as this being an isolated Monday 503 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,559 night game at home, They're gonna play Bejeon Robinson's gonna 504 00:28:54,599 --> 00:28:57,160 play hard the whole offense and is gonna play hard. 505 00:28:57,279 --> 00:28:59,960 So I think I'd rather include him and bet over 506 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,960 forty eight and a half. But I could easily make 507 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,119 two bets on this game and play Rams team total 508 00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:08,000 over twenty and a half because they're headed for thirty. 509 00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:11,039 They still though, score thirty on anybody, and in these conditions. 510 00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:13,160 Over the weekend we saw a lot of bad weather conditions. 511 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,079 Obviously in Atlanta, you don't have that situation, just a 512 00:29:16,119 --> 00:29:19,559 fast track for the Rams to score on. So for me, 513 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,079 it would be either of those. I kind of like 514 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,640 the full game over a little bit better, but the 515 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,240 team total as well. 516 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: That good stuff. You know. We'll wrap it up on 517 00:29:30,079 --> 00:29:34,759 that note, move it on over to best bets if 518 00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:37,599 I can find well, yeah, move it over the best 519 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,480 bets because I did not prepare any graphics. You know, 520 00:29:42,519 --> 00:29:44,160 I'm just trying to make it home. I'm gonna finish 521 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,119 this show, drive to one more destination, do the next show, 522 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,000 then drive home, and be making plays all in between. 523 00:29:51,119 --> 00:29:55,200 So yeah, you know, I'm gonna pass it to you. 524 00:29:55,319 --> 00:29:57,519 I'll ask you if there's anything you would like to promote, 525 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,039 and if you have a best bet for the show, 526 00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:00,960 we'd love to hear it. If you I don't saw good. 527 00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:06,319 Speaker 2: Basically, the one thing I'll promote is wager Talk currently 528 00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:11,359 still has a Christmas special going on.

I think Milwaukee's a winner tonight. 543 00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:05,400 I just is Charlotte a lot of offense out Kniple 544 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,440 had become such an integral part of that offense. And 545 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,759 I think Milwaukee. I could be wrong. I've been burnt 546 00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:13,480 by Doc Rivers before, and if so, I'm gonna come 547 00:31:13,519 --> 00:31:15,640 on the show tomorrow and you're gonna hear about it 548 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,039 from me how Glenn did me wrong again. But I 549 00:31:20,079 --> 00:31:22,559 think they're in a good spot right now, Milwaukee, as 550 00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:25,279 far as play is concerned and as far as value 551 00:31:25,759 --> 00:31:30,880 is concerned, because certainly they're two buckets better than Charlotte 552 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,680 when they're playing healthy and at their best. So give 553 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,000 me the Bucks best bet minus three and a half. 554 00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:40,599 Speaker 1: Good stuff being out for myself, I'll just promote that 555 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,240 I do have a best bet in college basketball. I 556 00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:45,640 am twenty one and ten in college basketball so far 557 00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:50,279 this season, and my top four percent or higher basketball 558 00:31:50,319 --> 00:31:53,720 players in general, I've hit twelve of the last fifteen. 559 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,279 So see if we can get that one there tonight 560 00:31:56,319 --> 00:31:59,440 in college basketball for the best bet for this show. 561 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,759 Just try to give a number that is still out there, 562 00:32:02,759 --> 00:32:07,640 a number everybody can currently get, And I am gonna 563 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:17,599 go with. I'm gonna go with We'll do it as 564 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,319 a team that's been good to us. I think I 565 00:32:21,319 --> 00:32:25,519 mean it's still one two or here's what we do. 566 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,559 Can't get that. Everybody can't get that number. So we'll 567 00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:33,599 go with, as my guy J Money will say, the Heatles, 568 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,240 We'll go with the Heatles. It's a little chili. Like 569 00:32:36,279 --> 00:32:38,000 you said, we'll turn the heat on today. We'll go 570 00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:41,200 with Miami plus two and a half. A little bit 571 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,880 too much missing for the Nuggets, missing three starters. They've 572 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,519 lost with twur the last three games. Miami is the 573 00:32:47,519 --> 00:32:50,640 better defensive team, they've been, the better rebounding team. They're 574 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,480 at home, they can get the W tonight, So Miami 575 00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:57,000 will be my best bet for the show.
