00:00Just some NBA Cup action you need to know on night number four of group play in the

00:10in-season competition.

00:11We've got five games, or excuse me, four games out in the Eastern Conference, four in the

00:16Western Conference.

00:18The odds makers still expecting Philadelphia to show something despite having the NBA's

00:22worst record at two and twelve and only three covers to show for it this year.

00:28The Sixers a six-point favorite against a really good cover team in the Brooklyn Nets.

00:33Milwaukee is one four to five, they're a five-point favorite against the Pacers.

00:38Washington also at the bottom of the Eastern Conference alongside Philadelphia.

00:43Boston, huge win in East Group C, handing the Cavs their first loss of the season on

00:49Tuesday.

00:50The Cs a fifteen and a half point road favorite in the nation's capital.

00:54The Atlanta Hawks and the Chicago Bulls about a point and a half spread.

00:58In favor of the Hawks in the Windy City.

01:00Yeah, I forget Philadelphia.

01:05How they are even a favorite of six is beyond me, Ben.

01:09This is a team that obviously doesn't like one another.

01:13They have no experience playing with one another.

01:16That was the first time the Big Three actually played with one another.

01:19And what did they do against the depleted Memphis team?

01:22They got absolutely boat raced here.

01:24They're one and five at home.

01:26I have no idea why they'd be laying more than two buckets against anybody.

01:30Yeah, I'm good.

01:32I'll take the points with Brooklyn tonight.

01:35The Nets have been a sensational underdog this year, eight two and one against the spread.

01:41When you look at that number as well, Joe, it is dropping, reflecting what we are saying.

01:46Four and a half point spread now only in favor of Philadelphia.

01:50The Hawks and the Bulls playing in an NBA Cup game, by the way, with a total of 246.

01:57Now let's head out to the Western Conference.

01:59The Rockets have been a really good team this year.

02:02Twelve point favorite against the Blazers team, often an underdog who has not been bad

02:07against the number as a dog this year, Portland nine five and one against the spread.

02:13That's 15 games as a dog.

02:15I believe Portland has played all 15 games as the underdog.

02:20Indeed, the Clippers at home, they've won six straight, a couple outright as an underdog.

02:26The Pelicans are really struggling this year.

02:28It's been a disastrous season in the big easy.

02:31Golden State lay in double digits on the road in Nola.

02:34The Nuggets three point home favorite against the Mavs NBA Cup action where I believe Denver

02:40won on Tuesday without Nicola Jokic for a third consecutive game.

02:46Yeah, they did.

02:46They ended up beating Memphis, who had beaten them the game prior without him as well.

02:51But they got back in a big way there.

02:54Now we've got some issues with Donchick.

02:57It appears in Dallas might be missing a few games.

03:01So boy, oh boy, that's going to be interesting.

03:03I believe the birth of his of his child is why the Joker is missed.

03:07I believe he might be back for this one here tonight.
