00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost.
00:06I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL, and I'm joined by Matt Horner and Amir Tyree.
00:10And we have an NBA odds boost for all of you today on Speed Cunningham to have over 29.5
00:17points and over 9.5 assists boosted to plus 400 at Caesars.
00:22What do you guys think of this boost?
00:24Yeah, I mean, you're getting 4 to 1 odds here, so not too bad if you want to put a sprinkle
00:27on this.
00:28Speed Cunningham, as we know, is a absolute superstar.
00:31The reason the Pistons exist.
00:32Without him, nobody would even care that they're an NBA franchise.
00:36He's going against the Pacers tonight.
00:38The Pacers defense, White the Stinker.
00:41Not a huge fan of them, but how many points they've been giving up, so 4 to 1 odds.
00:46I don't mind it here, but I'm going to swing it over to Amir, who's the real NBA absolute.
00:51Yeah, definitely.
00:52I mean, he has had to beat that engine for the Pistons this season with no Jaden Ivey
00:59and just a couple other people in and out of the lineup.
01:02He's had to do a little more offensively as well as a distributor.
01:06Third most assists in the NBA only, Trey Young and Nikola Jokic have more, so averaging around
01:12that 9.4 mark per game.
01:14So to basically have one of his normal games and score five points than he does, five more
01:20points than he does on average, which is for 4 to 1 odds, like, you know, essentially
01:25score five more points than what you've had in the entire season, is essentially what
01:28the bet is.
01:29So against a bad defense, I don't see why you don't like that one there.
01:32So I think it should probably be a lot shorter than what it is.
01:36Very nice.
01:37Yes.

02:13Short bets for today.
02:15I'm sticking with the NBA and I am taking the Bulls to cover a big spread here.
02:20Plus 14 and a half against the Celtics of the Celtics.
02:24As many in this area have pointed out, the Celtics are not as good as they were last
02:28year.
02:29They have already lost more games than they did last season.
02:31And this season is not even close to over.
02:33So the Celtics also have failed to cover their last two spreads and they are 8 and 16 against
02:38the spread at home.
02:39And they have only covered twice in the eight games in which they were favored by 14 and
02:43a half points or more this season.
02:46The Bulls on the road have covered three of their last six, but one of those was a 14
02:51and a half point spread as the underdog.
02:53Also as the home favorite, the Celtics have only covered once in their last five.
02:58So I know, Matt, I'm taking a big risk and I'm taking the Bulls plus 14 and a half.
03:04Yeah, anytime you're betting on one of my sports teams, it's a huge risk because they're
03:08all such stinkers.
03:10The Bulls, big stinker, but you know, it is 14 and a half.
03:15They could cover.
03:16I hope they do.
03:17We'll see.
03:18I'm going to go to college basketball as per usual, to college hardwood.
03:23Tonight the number four team in the country, Alabama, they are an underdog, everybody.
03:28Number four team in the country, an underdog to Mississippi State, who has lost three of
03:32their last five games.
03:34And now the number four team in the country is an underdog to them.
03:38There's a reason for this.
03:40That's because Mississippi State is going to win the basketball game.
03:44So give me Mississippi State here on the money line.
03:46You can get that at about a minus 113 right now over at Bett Rivers Sportsbook.
03:52That's the best price I'm seeing currently.
03:54Yeah, nothing out of the net.
03:56Number four team in the country is an underdog.
03:57There's a reason they're an underdog.
03:59It's because they're going to lose the game.
04:00So give me Mississippi State.
04:03And I'm going to take us back to the NBA myself.
04:07You're talking about going against Matt, going against Matt, or against a betting on that
04:13with Matt Seaman in Chicago.
04:14I'm talking, I'm here in Charlotte.
04:15Two very bad teams in the Brooklyn Nets and the Charlotte Hornets will be going off.
04:20I'm going to take the Brooklyn Nets on the money line, where I saw a plus 125 at Charlotte.
04:25Just both these teams, very banged up.
04:28Charlotte coming off that Lomelo ball injury, where the non-contact ankle injury on the
04:33back pedal.
04:34They're dealing with that.
04:35No Miles Bridges, no Mark Williams.
04:36Then on the other side, the Nets, no Cam Thomas, no Cam Johnson.
04:41But you know, they have Ben Simmons, they have D'Angelo Russell, they have Nick Claxton.
04:47Both times, very banged up.
04:48I think I want to just go with the side who's missing a 30 point per game scorer, who also
04:53is basically powering everything on their offense.
04:56Just in general, that's one of the worst field goals for some of the shooting teams
05:00all around in the NBA this season.
05:02So I put him right about on even ground, but I think just the team that has got more guys
05:08who actually are getting legitimately NBA minutes on a regular basis to maybe just barely edge
05:13out that one.
05:14Especially with one having their primary engine, he drives it on offense as a scorer and the
05:19system.
05:20I think that gives Brooklyn a little bit more of an edge, even though they are on a solid
05:24defensive streak right now.
05:25Very nice.
05:26Yes.
