00:03 In California's capital, a rematch of the opening round playoff series

00:08 last year that went to seven games in Golden State was victorious.

00:12 Sacramento, two and a half point home underdog against Golden State,

00:16 total of 225.

00:18 Donnie, I'm fascinated by these over-unders for

00:21 what is post-season basketball, albeit a play-in tournament.

00:25 The Lakers over in 10 of their final 14, but it's 225 and a hook.

00:30 Lofty, same conversation for the Dubs and the Kings over under 225.

00:35 >> All right, how about this conversation, Ben?

00:37 You take a look at those first two games here, and

00:38 the good thing about the FanBlue Sportsbook under the stats column,

00:41 right below the list where the spread money in total is, who's betting what here?

00:46 Now granted, we haven't seen these lines up all that much, but

00:48 the early indicators, how about the Lakers?

00:50 Eight out of every ten tickets coming in for them already.

00:53 How about Golden State?

00:54 75% of the tickets already coming in for them.

00:57 There are two road schemes here that have to win and

00:59 cover on the road, which is interesting, but I think the theory is the same.

01:03 And the same way I just broke down, if we're looking at young up and

01:06 coming teams, sure, the Kings have a brighter future than the Golden State Warriors.

01:10 But it's a matter of what are they going to do in this game?

01:13 The same thing with the Pelicans here.

01:14 They are absolutely loaded with talent going up against the Lakers.

01:18 But underdogs, why?

01:19 It's trustability.

01:20 When you have LeBron James and Anthony Davis,

01:22 you know you're gonna get your best there.

01:23 When you have Steph Curry, the Splash Brothers, Draymond Green,

01:26 they're used to winning championships here.

01:28 It's not gonna be, wow, this scenario is really big for us.

01:30 I don't know how we can perform in a one-off game against the Sacramento Kings.

01:34 So I do agree with the lines at minus two and a half for Golden State, at minus one

01:38 for the Los Angeles Lakers, cuz I just believe that I can trust those two

01:41 basketball teams more I can the others, even though both of those teams are

01:46 on the road, but I'm not surprised the Golden State Warriors being two and

01:49 a half point favorites over the Kings.

01:50 I'm not that.
