Transcript

00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost.

00:06I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL, and I'm joined by Kate Constable and Amir Tyree.

00:10And we have an NBA odds boost for all of you today.

00:14Not the cup, regular NBA games.

00:16This is on the Pacers, Celtics, Cavaliers and Clippers to all win, boosted to plus $7.50

00:22at Caesars.

00:23What do you think of this boost?

00:24Yeah, this is a fun one.

00:25I mean, seven plus $7.50 is a good, nice big number.

00:28And then if you look at the games that are within this boost, the Pacers over the Magic.

00:33I know the Pacers are on the road and just slight favorites, but the Magic, yes, they've

00:39been playing decent.

00:40They just haven't been beating good teams.

00:42The Pacers are a good team.

00:44Paulo Banqueiro is still out for Orlando, so that's a blow to their offense.

00:48I think the Pacers can win that.

00:50Celtics over the Nets.

00:51The Celtics just lost last night to the Atlanta Hawks without Trey Young, a terrible loss

00:56in their first NBA cup game.

00:58And they went to overtime against the Nets just last week and only won by four.

01:03So I have a feeling the Celtics are going to be ready to go here.

01:06That is a win I'm not too concerned about.

01:08Same with the Cavs.

01:09They're playing the 76ers.

01:10Cavs are on the road, but the 76ers should be without Joel Embiid because this is one

01:14of the back-to-backs and he played his first game last night, so I don't anticipate Embiid

01:19playing tonight.

01:20And then you have Clippers and Rockets, and this is the game I'm probably most concerned

01:23about for the Clippers.

01:24Rockets, four and a half point favorites.

01:26I think they're the better team right now, but hey, I mean, anything can happen on any

01:30given night in the NBA.

01:31And for plus $750, I kind of like it, Amir.

01:35Yeah, definitely.

01:36You know, the first three games, I agree with you that for the most part, like nothing's

01:39a lock in the NBA as we saw from the NBA Cup yesterday.

01:42But at the same time, like those all have to be games that you're comfortable with.

01:45And then, you know, even with the Clippers, like they 45 points from Shea Alexander.

01:50It was a two-possession game from what's arguably the best team in the Western Conference.

01:54So if they can say two possessions with them, it's conceivable for them to win against the

01:59Rockets as well, because they're both hovering around 500.

02:01So it's like one upset, get plus $750 odds.

02:04I don't see what's not to like.

02:06Love that.

02:44Favorite bets for today, I'm going with the Pacers, minus one and a half to cover, again,

02:50the Magic.

02:51The Pacers have covered in three of their last four games, and they are three and three

02:55against the spread on the road.

02:56They're also averaging 116.5 points scored per game, while the Magic are averaging 108

03:02points scored per game.

03:03So I'd like the Pacers to cover here, minus one and a half against the Magic.

03:07Love it, Lucy.

03:08I'm going to go to the Timberwolves and Blazers.

03:10These two teams played last night, and the Blazers just kind of smoked the Timberwolves.

03:15Blazers shot, what, in the first half, 60% from three.

03:19They hit 12 threes in the first half, finished with 18 on the game.

03:22I don't think that's going to happen two nights in a row, especially against a pissed-off

03:25Minnesota team.

03:26So I'm going to take the Timberwolves in the first quarter.

03:30Lowest line I'm seeing right now is minus three.

03:32I think you jump on that if you like Minnesota early.

03:35They have gotten off to slow starts in games this season.

03:38That's kind of been a problem, but in the game following a slow start, which is what

03:43they had yesterday, they only scored 17 points in the first quarter.

03:47Minnesota is ready to go.

03:49So I'm banking on this being a game where they looked really bad yesterday.

03:53They know they played bad yesterday, but they're going to be locked in from the start and ready

03:55to go.

03:56Plus, against the exact same team they played last night, that's not going to sit well for

04:00them.

04:01So a little bit of a revenge angle here early on.

04:03I'll take the Timberwolves in the first quarter, minus three.

04:06Yeah, definitely love both of those.

04:09I made a play on the over when it came to Timberwolves-Blazers.

04:13I thought it was going to be the reverse of the over, still hitting with the Timberwolves

04:18It was still ugly, just because the NBA cover was like, oh, point differential matters.

04:21It could be weird, very thrown off.

04:23But I am also on the Pacers game.

04:25I'm on Benedict Catherin, over 18 and a half points.

04:28I saw it at minus 105.

04:31He's started in the last five games of the Pacers, averaging 23 points per game.

04:35They're down two starters, Aaron Neesmith and Andrew Nembhard.

04:39He's only not hit 20 once in the last five games, which he had 16.

04:43He's coming off a 38-point game.

04:45So I really like that.

04:46And then I also saw, I think, his alternate line for 20-plus points was also minus 105

04:51at BetMGM.

04:52So I was like, OK, if you could get 18 and a half, why could you not get that over the

04:5520?

04:56So I think I definitely like that.

04:57He's running high.

04:58Very nice.
