00:00The reigning NBA champs, the NBA championship short favorites, the NBA cup championship
00:09short favorites.
00:10That's the Boston Celtics tonight at home against the Atlanta Hawks.
00:14The Hawks are an abysmal cover team, like really, really bad at covering numbers and
00:20the Celtics are a 15 point home favorite at 224 being the total.
00:26This is East Group C that also includes the Wizards, the Cavaliers, as Joe mentioned,
00:32the only undefeated team in the NBA is also with the NBA cup favorites.
00:37That could be interesting in the Bulls round out East Group C in the group of five.
00:42Yeah, I mean, Atlanta games are pretty simple to bet.
00:47You never bet Atlanta, but you usually always bet the total in some way, shape or form and
00:52something like, oh, I don't know, the Celtics team total over is probably not a bad look
00:56here, Ben, given the fact that we know Atlanta ain't going to play any defense.
01:01We know this.
01:02So I would not even the team total over in the game total over.
01:08Not a bad look here instead of having to lay the 15.
01:12The Hawks over in nine of 11 games, Atlanta is four and seven and they are three, three
01:20and eight against the spread.
01:22They've been favored in a lot of their wins, or at least in a lot of their games, and they
01:25just lose outright.
01:27That total might not be high enough tonight because the Celtics understand what is at
01:32stake.
01:33I believe it was Joe Missoula that understood the idea of the point differential and adding
01:36it up a year ago.
01:39So 15 point spread in favor of the C's.
01:42The Bucks will take on the Raptors seven and a half point spread in favor of Milwaukee.
01:47We know Damian Lillard dealing with the effects of a concussion.
01:52Bad versus awful.
01:54That's kind of tough to say.
01:55The Raptors are two and nine.
01:56The Bucks are two and eight.
01:57Who wins the NBA Cup opener for both teams?
02:00Yeah, well, it better be Milwaukee.
02:03I don't know what else to tell them, although their odds kind of say that they should be.
02:07I mean, Toronto has been pesky.
02:09I don't know that I'm running the lay that number with Milwaukee, but I'm confident enough
02:14that they should be able to win this game here, though, Ben.
02:18That's East Group B. The Magic host the Hornets tonight as an eight point favorite.
02:23That's East Group A. The Pistons will also host the Heat tonight as a slight home underdog.
02:31That's also East Group B.
