00:00a marquee matchup between two of the biggest markets in the
00:02sport. Los Angeles Lakers at home hosting the New York Knicks
00:07of course, LA that hottest team in the Western Conference
00:09winners of seven in a row. Now just a three point favorite on
00:14the FanDuel Sportsbook. So Vecchio answer it for us. Can
00:17the Lakers win eight straight tonight?
00:20I certainly think so. But I don't necessarily think this is
00:24going to be a back and forth barn burner. And we've seen the
00:28Knicks really struggle against teams above 500. And what has
00:31been the storyline for the Lakers over the past week and a
00:35half, two weeks since the return from the All-Star break. It has
00:38been their defense. It has been their defense that has been
00:41absolutely awesome. So I don't mind the game under this. I
00:44specifically like Jalen Brunson under 25 and a half points. The
00:48Lakers, they've held teams to 102 points or fewer in seven of
00:51eight games. They're not playing super fast, all this hype around
00:54Luke and LeBron and LeBron reaching 50k and all it's like
00:57all this is great. And the storylines and the rivalry, all
01:00these things are fantastic. But we have to look at this from
01:02perspective of where things are. The Knicks are, again, not
01:05playing super well as of late, like they're barely beating
01:08Miami when they're seven point favorites. They've been
01:10struggling against the Cavs. They've been struggling against
01:12the Celtics. This is not a matchup where they want to get
01:15out and run. So I like the game under and I like Jalen Brunson
01:18under.
