00:03 >> And Kevin Walsh is here to preview it all.
00:06 A four and a half point spread, Kev, in favor of Minnesota at home.
00:10 The total at 209 and a hook, the second highest over under we have seen now in
00:15 the five games of the WCF.
00:17 What are the numbers telling you about how game five plays out tonight?
00:21 >> Yeah, I'm looking for Dallas to win this game, but
00:25 as somebody that's holding Mavs to win the West preseason,
00:28 I've not, I can't, I tell you both on Santa's, I can't Joe Lee see it, right?
00:33 Like I just am looking for Dallas to close this out instead of letting Dallas
00:37 minus six in this basketball game and doubling down on the stands.
00:42 I'm sure you guys have been getting into these head to head specials markets that
00:45 have started to come available on Fandul.
00:48 And the combo market for Luca and Ant is pretty tempting.
00:52 The combined points at 58 and a half.
00:55 Luca held under 30 for
00:56 the first time that he's played Minnesota regular or post season.
01:01 I think 35 could very well be in range.
01:03 And as much as I'm talking kind of down on the Anthony Edwards performances,
01:07 if he at any point can shoot 55% from the field,
01:11 which you would think he'd be able to do at least once.
01:14 That even 35 in his own right could be in range here.
01:17 I don't believe they hang kind of alts in this head to head specials market.
01:20 I don't think we're there yet.
01:22 While that would be tempting.
01:23 I think a straight over 58 and a half with one of these guys probably being able to
01:28 carry the load significantly is one of the more tempting options in this game.
01:32 >> If we're taking a look at some of these, you look at Luca Donchic,
01:36 Kyrie Irving, one and one a there for Dallas.
01:38 Then you take a look at Anthony Edwards and Carl Anthony Towne,
01:40 same thing for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
01:42 If you were gonna approach this game and remove those four players,
01:45 does anybody have your eye who you feel can step up and give you a positive effort?
01:49 >> How's it not Derek Lively?
01:51 I'm thinking he plays tonight.
01:53 At the end of the day, this team's unbeaten in this series
01:56 with Derek Lively in their lineup, now not starting lineup off for the bench.
02:01 And I think that's gonna be very interesting for the books, right?
02:04 They're not pricing a starter.
02:05 They're already factoring in him being a bench piece.
02:09 What do the Derek Lively props look like?
02:11 Is it just kind of copy paste what we saw game one, game two, game three?
02:15 But again, he didn't play a lot obviously in game three.
02:18 Lively had been phenomenal to start this series.
02:21 He was gonna really challenge Rudy Gobert for the series rebound lead.
02:25 I don't know if that's tight at the moment between Luca and Rudy.
02:28 But Derek Lively was the leader actually in that market.
02:33 Not the favorite, but he had the most rebounds
02:36 heading into that third basketball game.
02:37 So I really wanna see the Derek Lively prompts.
02:40 I'm not sure if either of you have kind of seen those just yet this morning.
02:43 But I think that's one of the key, key factors in this basketball game.
