00:00Mbid is out. He's not playing. He's only played in four of the Sixers' 19 games so far this year.

00:08So let's just say he has not been doing much. The Sixers are four and a half point favorites anyway on the road in Charlotte.

00:15And that's mostly because the Hornets are also a little bare in the cupboard too with some injuries.

00:21So four and a half Sixers do ten and a half total.

00:23Yeah, no Lamello, no Mbid, no Pat. I'm just not betting on this game.

00:30There's some sound advice for you, Sports Grid.

00:33That is precisely what I would say as well to that.

00:37The Cavs are 18-3, but they actually have no gas tonight.

00:43They've been eliminated. They can't advance in the NBA Cup.

00:47But they're home against the Wizards, who actually got through the whole month of November without winning a game.

00:540-14 for them in the month of November. Nice achievement.

00:58And they're getting 16 and a half in Cleveland tonight, 234 and a half the total.

01:03So you're telling me that a team with one of the, if not best record in the NBA, is not in the NBA Cup.

01:10They're not going to the next round. They're done.

01:13That's correct. And that's because of the three losses that they have.

01:17Two of them were in the NBA Cup games. So they're out of their group.

01:23So two losses in group play. You're done. So that's crazy.

01:27All right. You know what? The Wizards are awful.

01:32And I still don't think the Cavs are going to cover that number tonight because I don't think they're going to try.

01:38I think they're just going to go through the motions and win the game.

01:41And they could care less about our bets or your bets.

01:45And it's a lot of points. And I mean, the Wizards are awful.

01:49They lose every game. But I mean, that is a lot of lumber.

01:52And, you know, if any one guy, cool or otherwise, goes off in that game, they'll cover the number.

01:58But here's another game. It has no impact, no interest, no reason, frankly, to bet on it.

02:06No interest whatsoever, at least for me.
