00:00We have four games tonight, but I'm just going to tell you my favorite play,
00:03and it's a little stroll down Narrative Street, my friend. I love the narratives,
00:07and there's no narrative that I could support more than this one today,
00:11which is LeBron James, who turned 40 yesterday. This is his first game in his 40s for the Lakers,
00:18who is playing host to his original team, his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
00:24Now, I don't know if the Lakers are going to win this game, even though I think they will,
00:27probably, because, I don't know, the universe works in mysterious ways. Sure,
00:31the Cavs are the better team, but the play that I like, you're going to give me LeBron over 23.5
00:37points? That's it? 23.5 points, and the guy's been lighting it up of late anyway, and he's
00:42not going to look to show out at home against his old team as a 40-year-old now? Yes, please,
00:48take my money. I like that play, and it'll be interesting, the Lakers with the trade.
00:55To me, it's more about addition by subtraction in regards to getting D'Lo off the roster. They
00:59need to do it, but I do think Dorian Finney-Smith and Shaq Milton helped fortify that bench,
01:05especially the way that Dorian Finney-Smith's shooting over 40 percent from three. So,
01:09I agree with you. I do like that play. In regards to plays that I like tonight,
01:14I like the San Antonio Spurs minus a point. You look at the fact that Clippers on the second leg
01:19of a back-to-back, I think you can get the Spurs with value there. I do also like the Grizzlies
01:25plus the points at Phoenix. I know Devin Booker is back. Phoenix are two different teams when it
01:31comes to how they play with everybody. I'm going to go ahead, and I'm going to take the points
01:37with the Grizzlies, and then OKC versus the Timberwolves, I'm going to lay the points
01:41with the Oklahoma City Thunder. I, Adam, Minnesota's not right. I know they got that
01:48win over Dallas on Christmas Day. They're not right. This heart, this Randall thing ain't
01:56working. It doesn't go well with me. I do think the Thunder will get the win in the cover,
02:01but I do like Rudy Gobert over 10 and a half rebounds because he's got to deal with Hartenstein.
02:05He's got to stay inside. Big Rudy will at least get over 10 and a half boards tonight.
02:10Seems to be following Julius Randall, doesn't it? Wasn't the right fit in New York either.
02:16Hey, listen, I'll tell you this right now. You know what Randall will ball out next year. Why?
02:21It's the last year of his deal. Remember the thumbs down year with the Knicks? Terrible.
02:25Next year was his last year. Balled out. With Randall, it comes down to the money.
