00:03 So let's start with the marquee matchup though DRS,

00:06 a showdown in group B out West, I am pretty sure,

00:10 between the Denver Nuggets and the Dallas Mavericks.

00:14 Yes, I was correct, group B, a seven point spread in favor of the defending champs,

00:19 not in the NBA Cup, but the NBA Championship, the Denver Nuggets.

00:24 Seven points in favor of the Nugs in the Mile High City against the Dallas Mavericks.

00:29 Stonnie, there are two unbeaten teams left in the NBA, the Mavs and the Celtics.

00:33 Denver was unbeaten before being upset in the Twin Cities

00:37 against the Timberwolves earlier this week.

00:40 A seven point number in favor of Denver against a Dallas team that is unbeaten for

00:46 all the stakes of the in-season tournament, isn't that too large of a spread?

00:50 >> Feels like it, but also, here's what we don't know.

00:53 Luka Doncic's probably gonna be out there.

00:55 Kyrie Irving missed the last game there due to an injury.

00:57 We'll see if he gets a go tonight, and maybe that happens.

01:00 I don't know, that's where I'm going off right now,

01:02 as you take a look at that number.

01:03 So, by the way, is Kyrie Irving gonna skip this game?

01:06 He's like, well, wait, is this a tournament game or not a tournament game?

01:09 And NBA teams are gonna have to figure that out.

01:11 I look at this line here, it makes sense here, but

01:13 based on the fact that Doncic and Irving are in, I'll go ahead and

01:16 roll the dice with the Mavericks.

01:18 I like the Mavericks this season so far.
