00:00It's a matchup on night number one of the two teams with the two best numbers to win
00:07the Eastern Conference crown.
00:09The Celtics well in front and the Celtics a five and a half point favorite for Banner
00:14Night in Beantown.
00:16Total now at two twenty three and a half.
00:19Of course there will be the celebration.
00:21There will be the atmosphere of anointing a champion.
00:24What do you expect the actual basketball game to look like?
00:28I expect the over tonight again.
00:30I expect these teams come out firing specifically from the Knicks side of things.
00:33And as I mentioned in the last segment, I felt I expect the Celtics to be the best version
00:38of themselves, like a version we haven't seen because that pressure the championship is
00:41off of them.
00:42I expect to be totally free flowing.
00:43Yeah.
00:44Well, they go through some hiccups early in the season, especially on the defensive side
00:47of things.
00:48That's what I'm expecting.
00:49So I want to actually focus in on the Knicks tonight.
00:52As I said, we want to be betting on the Knicks and I want to start off with Jalen Brunson
00:55over thirty seven and a half PRA last year.
00:58He was up at a thirty two point nine percent usage rate.
01:00They added Carleton Towns.
01:01Of course, that's a big story for the Knicks.
01:03We have to figure out what that offense is going to look like.
01:05I don't want to say like I want to buy into a storyline of Brunson having like a sour
01:09taste in his mouth because he got hurt at the end of that Indiana series last year.
01:13But I'm expecting Brunson to come out on fire tonight and especially the early portion of
01:17the season.
01:18He's going to lead this team with his usage and all those numbers be exactly the same
01:21with Carleton Towns in the mix this season.
01:23No, but I expect tonight to be a big night for Brunson.
01:28How does that change your handicapping, you know, for the better is coming to Christ's
01:32first couple of weeks here in the association?
01:33Are you looking more towards the big names more so than the glue guys, especially going
01:38into a hostile environment like this, just just because you can know that they're going
01:41to be bankable and get that production?
01:45You would like to think so.
01:46And that's obviously different from a team team by team perspective, like adding Carleton
01:49Towns, a player that should be touching the ball X amount of times that should be pushing
01:53towards a double double every single night.
01:54You have to take that by a team by team basis.
01:56That said, I think there's a lot of opportunity on teams that do have these massive changes
02:01because if you are like seeing something in preseason or coach speak, wherever might be
02:05that there's going to be a change in role and the markets haven't been adjusted.
02:09There's a lot of opportunity to jump on a young player that's going to be seeing more
02:12time than rotation to fade a vet that may not be playing as big of a role like I don't
02:16expect.
02:17If Paul George was fully healthy, I would be taking unders on him because I don't expect
02:20him to play a big role.
02:21I've been taking unders on Tobias Harris in Detroit because they should be trying to develop
02:25their young talent and not getting a vet the ball X amount of times.
02:29So those are the storylines you can absolutely make some serious profit on early in the season.
