00:00So, we're still talking about the NBA, how about best and worst against the spread from
00:08these teams so far?
00:09Yes, why don't we do that before tonight's games?
00:12Let's go.
00:13The best teams, the Warriors, top of the mountain, 9-2 against the spread.
00:19The Nets are also 9-2, Brooklyn and the Warriors, 9-2 against the number.
00:24The Cavs are 12-0, but they're 9-3 against the spread.
00:27Raptors, Thunder, Clippers, Pistons, Lakers, Pacers, and Grizzlies, all on the good list.
00:32I'm surprised the Clippers are there, to be honest with you, and the Pistons.
00:37I'm not really surprised, I guess the Raptors I'll give you, but we knew that they were
00:41covering every night, despite losing every night, but I gotta tell you, the Nets have
00:46been a blast to watch, and last night, to me, was the first night that the Knicks looked
00:52good all season.
00:54Yeah, and I believe the Knicks and the Nets are playing Friday night in one of those NBA
01:00Cup games, so you got a Knick-Knack game coming up on Friday night, I believe, if I remember
01:05looking at the schedule correctly.
01:07On the worse side of things, the Pelicans, who as we know, they're down like their top
01:13eight guys on their roster, aren't playing right now.
01:16They're 2-9 against the spread, Sixers 2-8 against the spread, Wizards, Hawks, Jazz,
01:22T-Wolves, Bucs, Suns, Heat, and Mavs on the bad list.
01:26Look at the T-Wolves, Suns, Heat, and Mavs on the bad list of teams that don't cover.
01:34Can you imagine?
01:35They were in the finals.
01:36Look at these teams, they're supposed to be so great, and yet, they obviously don't care
01:43about covers, they don't care about bettors, but for us as bettors, you can't trust them,
01:52and that's crazy, because they're, you know, allegedly the best teams in the league.
01:57Allegedly, that's for sure, but they are not sending people to the window, which is really
02:02all that we care about, is we care about going to the window.
02:05I just double-checked, by the way, I was right.
02:07Nets at the Garden against the Knicks, Friday night NBA Cup game.
02:12They're in the same group.
02:13And they're playing, as you know, they're playing the Nets, they're playing the Celtics
02:16again tonight, this time in Brooklyn.
02:18Yes, and we are going to get to that right now.
02:21We'll start, though, with Indiana and Orlando.
02:24Of course, a back-to-back for the Magic.
02:26They blew out the Hornets last night.
02:27Tonight, they have the Pacers in town, minus one and a half for Orlando, 224 and a half
02:33the total.
02:34I mean, they looked good last night, right?
02:38So, I'll take them again tonight, and the point in Orlando.
02:42Yeah, they played really well last night.
02:45You'd like to see them follow that up, that's for sure.
02:47Boston on the second night of a back-to-back, but they're in the streets as they go to Brooklyn
02:52against the Nets, who played them tough in Boston a week ago.
02:56Celtics minus eight and a half on the road, 218 and a half the total.
03:01I got to tell you, the way they looked last night, they're probably going to come out
03:05upset tonight, about last night, and try to blow out the Nets.
03:11If the Nets can survive the initial haymaker, I think they cover the eight and a half.
03:17They can score the Nets.
03:19I like the overview.
03:20They can score, yes.
03:22They can score.
03:23I like the low total there, 218 and a half.
03:26We can get that.
03:27A lot of back-to-backs tonight.
03:28The Knicks are also a back-to-back, but they'll be at home at the Garden.
03:32They have the Bulls in town.
03:34Knicks minus seven and a half, 229 and a half the total.
03:39Yeah, you know, my initial read on it is Knicks.
03:44I lay the seven.
03:45I think they're, you know, bigger and badder than the Bulls, particularly at the Garden.
03:51I like Brunson and company to handle their business.
03:54Now I know Brunson did get a little banged up last night, but he did come back in the
03:58game.
04:00They do have him listed as a game-time decision for tonight as questionable.
04:05So we shall see.
04:07Brunson always plays.
04:09Let's just get that out.
04:10Brunson, you guys, it takes a lot for Brunson to not be out there with the Knicks.
04:14So I would expect to see him there.
04:16The Cavs are in Philadelphia against the Sixers.
04:18We already told you, skeleton crew for Philadelphia.
04:21No Embiid, no George.
04:23They're obviously already been without Maxie.
04:26Cavs looking to go 13 and 0, and they're laying 11 and a half here on the road, 218 and a
04:31half total.
04:32I mean, how do you feel about it?
04:33I still think it's got to be the Cleveland Cavs, the way they're playing, and what's
04:38going on in Philly, and none of those guys are playing at all.
04:42All of their best players are out.
04:45I just think Cleveland's going to kill them.
04:48It feels too easy, right?
04:52Like they should destroy them tonight.
04:55Sixers have nobody playing in this game.
04:58Are you going to take Philly in the 11 and a half?
05:01Last year, this worked a lot for us.
05:03When a team's missing all its players, and they're getting a big number, sometimes we
05:10got to look in their direction.
05:12I'll take the Sixers with the 11 and a half in spite of it.
05:15All right, let's do it.
05:16Won't win, but they'll cover the 11 and a half.
05:19Next, New Orleans, who also we know has a lot of issues, are in OKC.
05:25Here's another big number for you, 14 and a half against the Thunder, 224 and a half
05:31the total.
05:32I mean, they don't have Holmgren either, and Ingram can flat out score 35 by himself.
05:42I think the number's too big.
05:45I really do.
05:46I like the 14 and a hook.
05:49I'll take it, too, with you.
05:50Let's take all the big numbers tonight, 14 and a half with the Pelicans in OKC.
05:55Let's go.
05:56The Clippers, who we just showed you, have been very good at covering the number despite
06:00the fact they are six and five now, too.
06:02They're getting four and a half in Houston against the Rockets, 213 and a half the total.
06:08I'll take the four and a half with the Clippers after what you just showed me, so we're really
06:13going for it tonight.
06:14What do we have to lose?
06:16Why not?
06:17Take some big numbers.
06:19Both of these teams played last night.
06:20The Pistons are in Milwaukee against the Bucs, Bucs minus six and a half at home, 212 and
06:27a half is the total.
06:29I'm taking the points again here.
06:30I'm taking Detroit with the number in Milwaukee.
06:34I think that game sucked the life out of Detroit last night, and I thought the Bucs
06:39had an easy night and looked good at five serving.
06:42They're there again tonight.
06:43I'm on the Bucs.
06:45No game time again, of course, for Milwaukee tonight.
06:48Didn't play last night, not going to play tonight either.
06:52More big numbers for you.
06:53The Spurs are home tonight for the Wizards, 10 and a half for the Spurs, 224 and a half
07:01the total.
07:02I'm on the Spurs.
07:04The Wizards stink.
07:07How bad do you got to be that you're catching 10 and a half from the Spurs?
07:12I get, you know, like they're not exactly the Suns or any of the better teams, 10 and
07:18a half.
07:19That is enormous.
07:20The Grizzlies are in Los Angeles against the Lakers tonight.
07:24Remember they thumped the Lakers in Memphis.
07:27What was that a week, week and a half ago at the end of that road trip, they smashed
07:31them.
07:3210 and a half point favorites tonight, 232 and a half the total.
07:35Yeah.
07:36I got Memphis at seven.
07:37I'll take the Grizzlies.
07:40No jaw either.
07:41Remember that.
07:42So no jaw for the Grizzlies tonight as well.
07:44He is not playing in that game.
07:46So I know that changes everything for anyone, but I'll take the Grizzlies with you either
07:50way.
07:51Minnesota.
07:52So back to back nights, the Timberwolves are in Portland against the Trailblazers.
07:56Same game as last night.
07:58And tonight they're laying 10 and a half.
07:59They slept walk last night.
08:01Do they care tonight?
08:02I mean, they couldn't stop Williams or Grant in that game last night.
08:07You're giving me a 10 spot again at the Moda.
08:09I'll take it.
08:10The T-wolves just have been unimpressive.
08:14And finally, the Suns are in Sacratomato against the Kings tonight.
08:20Kings minus seven and a half in this game.
08:23You've got some to be determined.
08:25Beal might not play the second night of it back to back.
08:28Obviously Durant's out.
08:29So take all that into account.
08:31Yeah, I still like the Suns in seven and a half with Booker on the floor and whatever
08:37else they have out there.
08:38I mean, I just think it's too big of a number.
08:41No Durant, potentially no Beal if he doesn't play.
08:45Booker 40 plus tonight.
08:4740 plus for Booker.
08:48And then the Kings are still overrated.
08:49It's not even funny.
08:50They never get it done.
