00:00Live right here on the early line on Sports Grid. We have

00:06some action in the association on this Tuesday. He is Joe

00:11Neri. I am Ben Stevens. Counting all the games we have

00:14tonight. Quadruple header. That would be four including a

00:18Western Conference Finals rematch in the Twin Cities

00:21between the Timberwolves and the Dallas Mavericks. Five

00:24points spread in favor of Minnesota as they host the

00:28Mavs. Of course, it was Dallas winning the Western

00:31Conference in a trip to the NBA Finals against the Boston

00:35Celtics a year ago. Total Joe, 221 and a hook. The Mavericks

00:40did play last night at home against the Utah Jazz winning

00:43by eight. 110-102. So, second leg of a back-to-back for

00:49Dallas. A change of venue even with the anticipation of this

00:53WCF rematch. How do you break it down tonight in Minneapolis?

00:57Yeah, well, it's a definitely a different looking Dallas team

01:01this year, is it not? But again, having to come off of a

01:06tough game last night. There's always that revenge factor

01:11sitting around with Minnesota in this one but you gotta love

01:16what Klay Thompson has brought to this team here and what

01:20they're doing. This new look of Klay and Luca and Irving and

01:26boy oh boy this is a team that can absolutely drop 130 on any

01:31team at any given night. I think Minnesota has some pieces

01:35they're still trying to get used to. The place is gonna be

01:38rocking. It's advantage Minnesota but with that much

01:41firepower, Ben, am I laying five? I don't think so. And

01:45right now, the projected lineups for the Mavericks as you

01:48would hope this early in a season despite a change of venue

01:52back to back does include Luka Doncic and a lot of those stars

01:57for Dallas. On the other side, it's now Anthony Edwards show

02:01in Minneapolis. Not that it wasn't beforehand but of course

02:03no Carl Anthony Towns. Julius Randle has been good in spurts

02:08in his time so far in the Twin Cities. Both of these teams two

02:13and one. Dallas under in two straight. Minnesota under in

02:18two of three. The only over for the NBA's most efficient

02:22defensive team a season ago. That being the Timberwolves came

02:25in their only cover of the season in their second game of

02:29the year. Again, 26 and a half is that points prop for Anthony

02:33Edwards. We do have the number out for Luka Doncic as well.

02:36Twenty-nine and a hook. Klay Thompson has been good so far

02:40during his time in Dallas. Fifteen and a half. His points

02:43tonight. Yeah. Well, again, he went five of twenty-two and one

02:48of nine from behind the arc last night. The idea that you're

02:51gonna get that back to back from Lucas. Bounce back. Yeah,

02:55no. Yeah, it feels like it's a bounce back spot. Plus, Luka's

02:58not gonna wanna be bull and Luka's not gonna be interested

03:01in hearing about how the Timberwolves wanna grab their

03:03revenge. Like, grab this. He's not gonna be interested in that

03:06at all. Wouldn't shock me at all if he in fact maybe maybe a

03:12little peek ahead here looking to uh in a spotlight game at

03:16730 tonight. Maybe he looks to uh kind of bounce back in a big

03:20way. I'd only look at the over props for him here. Again, when

03:24you have seen Klay Thompson so far in Dallas, eighteen points

03:27in all three games at bare minimum. Yup. He is buried at

03:30least four threes for Klay to hit four threes tonight. Even

03:34money plus 100. Now, let's go up to Golden State. Our fourth

03:39and final game on this Tuesday night quadruple header in the

03:43NBA. The Dubs home underdog ever so slightly against New

03:48Orleans. The Pels a road favorite because no Stephen

03:51Curry on the other side for Golden State suffered an ankle

03:54injury which has been an issue throughout his NBA career over

03:58the weekend. Not expected to be super serious or miss a

04:01significant amount of time but no Steph tonight for Golden

04:04State. Yeah which uh you know and it's unfortunate too when

04:08you think about it too because Dejante Murray for the

04:11Pelicans breaks his hand in the first game here uh then you of

04:15course but you still got you know you got Zion, you got CJ

04:19McCollum um you know you you've got you got Brandon Ingram.

04:23They still have enough firepower on this team. I don't

04:26trust the Warriors without Steph Curry in any way, shape,

04:28or form. Uh I do think New Orleans uh this is a game they

04:32can and should win probably rather easily. When you look at

04:37Golden State last year, they were awful at home in San

04:40Francisco. Better on the road the year prior to that. Awful

04:43away from San Fran and lights out in Golden State. The Pels

04:48have already played a back to well not quite a back to back

04:51but in the same venue two games in three nights against the

04:55Trailblazers. One of the buzzer against Portland lost by 22

04:59against the Blazers over the weekend. This is their first

05:04time against I mean they played Chicago and twice

05:07against Portland. Interesting kind of elevation in terms of

05:10what they'll do. They play Golden State on back to back

05:13nights again. What a weird schedule for New Orleans to

05:16start off this year. Very very strange.
