00:00 All right, let's transition now to the NBA.
00:05 We got a huge marquee game tonight between the Denver Nuggets and the Milwaukee Bucks.
00:10 Small favorite here for the Nuggets.
00:12 The Bucks just like, they'll do anything to figure out a defense.
00:15 They just need to be like the 15th best defense in the NBA.
00:17 I can't really figure out how they haven't gotten there yet, given the talent that they
00:21 have on the roster, like two of the 15 best defensive players in the NBA.
00:26 What do you make of this one tonight?
00:29 The Bucks are going to continue to not play defense.
00:31 I love the fact that the Nuggets are coming off of a loss.
00:34 The Bucks are kind of lost since Doc Rivers have took over.
00:38 They're in the bottom 10 elite when it comes to defensive efficiency.
00:40 I don't care about this recent win that they picked up against the Hornets.
00:44 The Hornets are terrible.
00:45 So my favorite spot in this game is going to be Jokic double-double plus Denver win
00:49 at +110.
00:50 Also the Jokic triple-double plus Denver win is +370.
00:53 I think this is far more interesting than betting PRA or whatever it might be.
01:00 Denver is just the superior team.
01:01 That is a fact.
01:02 I think the one-point spread is not enough for the Nuggets.
01:06 I would play them to four or five at a certain point.
01:08 So Jokic double-double plus Denver win is +110, and I will take that time and time again.
01:14 Tom, big matchup out west, Clips and Teewolves.
01:18 Clipper is now a four-and-a-half point favorite, opened up at three-and-a-half.
01:21 But I know you're looking towards the Timberwolves here for a problem.
01:26 Yeah, that's going to be Carleton Towns under 32-and-a-half points for rebounds and assists.
01:31 It's -122.
01:32 It's a little bit of juice, but I have a feeling it's going to be like a playoff-type environment.
01:36 The Clippers are going to show that they are the far superior team.
01:39 I think the Timberwolves are running a little bit hot.
01:41 Their fourth-quarter offense is pretty terrible.
01:44 They're not being super efficient in any capacity.
01:47 Both teams are in the bottom six of the league when it comes to offensive pace, and Clippers
01:49 are only the fourth fewest points per game in opposing power forward.
01:52 So this is just not the spot for Carleton Towns.
01:55 I will side with the under in this type of matchup.
01:57 We're going to see lack of scoring, a bit of a playoff-type feel tonight.
02:01 All right, let's hit here real quick on 76ers Cavaliers.
02:05 Mark and I have been - we've been tossing this one around for the entire program.
02:10 We don't really get why the 76ers, even on the road, even, you know, no Embiid, no Batum,
02:14 they're having to kind of get down into their bench that's a little bit thin, playing Buddy
02:18 Heald like 42 minutes a night here on his brand new team.
02:22 We both kind of like the 76ers side here.
02:25 What do you make of 76ers Cavaliers?
02:27 Yeah, I would certainly say the 10 points is a little bit much.
02:30 I would also lean with the over, specifically because the Cavs are just so efficient on
02:35 offense at times, and they're playing up in pace against this Philly defense that is struggling.
02:40 So we can certainly see plenty of scoring.
02:42 The 10 points are just on a nightly basis, and the Embiid, I think, is a little bit too
02:44 much to lay, just some teams just don't get up for every single game.
02:48 Specifically, I like Donovan Mitchell over three and a half made threes.
02:52 As Philly's defense is slipping, they're running more and more threes.
02:54 In their last three games, they're running 15 made threes to their opponents.
02:58 That's in the bottom 10 of the league.
02:59 And Mitchell's taking 9, 10, 11, 12 three-point attempts every single night.
03:03 So I will take the plus money.
03:05 I also wouldn't mind like the 76ers, like I said, their guys are going to be out there
03:09 for that Maxi, Oubre, and Buddy Heald leading the way.
03:12 We're going to see some scoring.
