00:00
So, tonight we have a limited magic team without Franz Wagner, the great pianist and concerto
00:14
writer against the five-serve Bucs.
00:17
And then the game of the night, the Mavericks, who beat the Thunder by two in a great game
00:22
this year, getting four and a half in OKC.
00:25
The Thunder are favored to win the whole thing.
00:27
I think the Mavericks are going to beat them.
00:30
Well, listen, first things first, the first game of the night, you know, with Milwaukee
00:35
versus Orlando, obviously we look at the injuries to both Wagner and Bancaro, both with oblique
00:42
injuries, which is wild.
00:43
The two guys, that's got to be something with the training staff.
00:47
But Milwaukee, folks, is starting to play a little bit better.
00:50
I know they've lost two in the last three, but that was at Boston, and Atlanta's been
00:55
sneaky good.
00:56
I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to take the Milwaukee Bucs minus six and a half points.
01:00
When you look at Orlando and how they've been hot against spread as of late, going 73 against
01:06
the spread, besides their win against Phoenix, which was just at home, like on the road,
01:10
they've kind of struggled a little bit.
01:12
So I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to take the Milwaukee Bucs minus the six and
01:15
a half.
01:16
When you get to game number two, Pharrell, buckle up.
01:20
I'm going over in this game.
01:23
That number, the first game, 121-119, was right around that number.
01:27
Yep, 121-119.
01:28
So here's the thing.
01:29
There's a couple reasons why I like it to go over.
01:34
Number one, Dallas' offense, you know, is absolutely ferocious.
01:37
How much they can score.
01:38
Think about the last couple of games, 125-137, 121-137.
01:43
So they're going to carry their end of the bargain.
01:45
Now I know Oklahoma City is going to play one of the best, better defenses in the league.
01:51
But Pharrell, if that game is close, right, and I think it's going to be close, what do
01:55
we get?
01:56
Fouls, stop clock, free throws, extra possessions late.
02:01
You talked about a 121-119 earlier this year.
02:04
I'm going over 231.
02:06
I think it gets over 235, almost to 240.
02:11
So I love your props.
02:13
The Luka and Trent props, I think, are juicy.
02:17
Yeah, I mean, when you look at Luka Dodgers, over 17.5 rebounds plus assists, if I expect
02:23
the game to be close, right, so that means that I expect big minutes out of Luka.
02:28
The ability to push the pace, right, and get the assists, because I think you load up on
02:33
Luka and make other people beat him.
02:35
But the amount of threes that Oklahoma City can shoot, long shots, long rebounds, over
02:39
17.5.
02:40
And then Gary Trent Jr., here's why.
02:42
If you're Jamal Mosley and you're a really good defensive coach, you load up on Giannis
02:46
and you load up on Dave.
02:48
So the next guy up is the guy you start looking at.
02:52
That's Gary Trent Jr.
02:53
Over 10 in the last 12 games, over the last two games versus Orlando Magic, I think he
02:57
goes over to Gary Trent Jr. over 9.5 points tonight.
