Live right here on the early line on Sports Grid. We have
00:06
some action in the association on this Tuesday. He is Joe
00:11
Neri. I am Ben Stevens. Counting all the games we have
00:14
tonight. Quadruple header. That would be four including a
00:18
Western Conference Finals rematch in the Twin Cities
00:21
between the Timberwolves and the Dallas Mavericks. Five
00:24
points spread in favor of Minnesota as they host the
00:28
Mavs. Of course, it was Dallas winning the Western
00:31
Conference in a trip to the NBA Finals against the Boston
00:35
Celtics a year ago. Total Joe, 221 and a hook. The Mavericks
00:40
did play last night at home against the Utah Jazz winning
00:43
by eight. 110-102. So, second leg of a back-to-back for
00:49
Dallas. A change of venue even with the anticipation of this
00:53
WCF rematch. How do you break it down tonight in Minneapolis?
00:57
Yeah, well, it's a definitely a different looking Dallas team
01:01
this year, is it not? But again, having to come off of a
01:06
tough game last night. There's always that revenge factor
01:11
sitting around with Minnesota in this one but you gotta love
01:16
what Klay Thompson has brought to this team here and what
01:20
they're doing. This new look of Klay and Luca and Irving and
01:26
boy oh boy this is a team that can absolutely drop 130 on any
01:31
team at any given night. I think Minnesota has some pieces
01:35
they're still trying to get used to. The place is gonna be
01:38
rocking. It's advantage Minnesota but with that much
01:41
firepower, Ben, am I laying five? I don't think so. And
01:45
right now, the projected lineups for the Mavericks as you
01:48
would hope this early in a season despite a change of venue
01:52
back to back does include Luka Doncic and a lot of those stars
01:57
for Dallas. On the other side, it's now Anthony Edwards show
02:01
in Minneapolis. Not that it wasn't beforehand but of course
02:03
no Carl Anthony Towns. Julius Randle has been good in spurts
02:08
in his time so far in the Twin Cities. Both of these teams two
02:13
and one. Dallas under in two straight. Minnesota under in
02:18
two of three. The only over for the NBA's most efficient
02:22
defensive team a season ago. That being the Timberwolves came
02:25
in their only cover of the season in their second game of
02:29
the year. Again, 26 and a half is that points prop for Anthony
02:33
Edwards. We do have the number out for Luka Doncic as well.
02:36
Twenty-nine and a hook. Klay Thompson has been good so far
02:40
during his time in Dallas. Fifteen and a half. His points
02:43
tonight. Yeah. Well, again, he went five of twenty-two and one
02:48
of nine from behind the arc last night. The idea that you're
02:51
gonna get that back to back from Lucas. Bounce back. Yeah,
02:55
no. Yeah, it feels like it's a bounce back spot. Plus, Luka's
02:58
not gonna wanna be bull and Luka's not gonna be interested
03:01
in hearing about how the Timberwolves wanna grab their
03:03
revenge. Like, grab this. He's not gonna be interested in that
03:06
at all. Wouldn't shock me at all if he in fact maybe maybe a
03:12
little peek ahead here looking to uh in a spotlight game at
03:16
730 tonight. Maybe he looks to uh kind of bounce back in a big
03:20
way. I'd only look at the over props for him here. Again, when
03:24
you have seen Klay Thompson so far in Dallas, eighteen points
03:27
in all three games at bare minimum. Yup. He is buried at
03:30
least four threes for Klay to hit four threes tonight. Even
03:34
money plus 100. Now, let's go up to Golden State. Our fourth
03:39
and final game on this Tuesday night quadruple header in the
03:43
NBA. The Dubs home underdog ever so slightly against New
03:48
Orleans. The Pels a road favorite because no Stephen
03:51
Curry on the other side for Golden State suffered an ankle
03:54
injury which has been an issue throughout his NBA career over
03:58
the weekend. Not expected to be super serious or miss a
04:01
significant amount of time but no Steph tonight for Golden
04:04
State. Yeah which uh you know and it's unfortunate too when
04:08
you think about it too because Dejante Murray for the
04:11
Pelicans breaks his hand in the first game here uh then you of
04:15
course but you still got you know you got Zion, you got CJ
04:19
McCollum um you know you you've got you got Brandon Ingram.
04:23
They still have enough firepower on this team. I don't
04:26
trust the Warriors without Steph Curry in any way, shape,
04:28
or form. Uh I do think New Orleans uh this is a game they
04:32
can and should win probably rather easily. When you look at
04:37
Golden State last year, they were awful at home in San
04:40
Francisco. Better on the road the year prior to that. Awful
04:43
away from San Fran and lights out in Golden State. The Pels
04:48
have already played a back to well not quite a back to back
04:51
but in the same venue two games in three nights against the
04:55
Trailblazers. One of the buzzer against Portland lost by 22
04:59
against the Blazers over the weekend. This is their first
05:04
time against I mean they played Chicago and twice
05:07
against Portland. Interesting kind of elevation in terms of
05:10
what they'll do. They play Golden State on back to back
05:13
nights again. What a weird schedule for New Orleans to
05:16
start off this year. Very very strange.
