00:00All right, we got a bunch of games tonight

00:02In the nba joe, why don't we start in detroit and then we'll do the rest after the break

00:07Uh, the blazers are in town against the pistons who believe it or not joe

00:12The pistons have now fought themselves, uh to one game under

00:17at 17 and 18

00:20They have been on an absolute tear. Uh, I believe they have now won six out of seven

00:26Including beating the timberwolves, uh on saturday

00:30They are laying six and a half at home to the blazers tonight 224 and a half the total

00:36Yeah, and listen, they've they

00:39Charlotte I would consider to be on that same trailblazers conversation

00:44Uh orlando's got absolutely no offense but has played good defense, you know

00:50You look at those three wins here minnesota charlotte orlando sure you lost, uh to denver

00:56But you took them to the wire and then you're coming off that sacramento win. I mean they are playing

01:02Great basketball here very hard to go against them. Uh in this spot. No jeremy grant, I believe still for portland

01:10Yeah, I don't think these two teams are on the same level anymore

01:15I don't either and that was you're like you said losing that game to denver

01:18That was the last game of that west coast trip and they had won every game on that trip

01:23And like I said this to scotty last week like east coast teams don't go on that trip and win every game

01:29No, they just don't correct. You're gonna usually you're lucky to split

01:33Uh on a west coast trip like that and they did a hell of a job

01:36And they only lost that one game there, uh in denver the suns are in philadelphia tonight

01:43against the sixers

01:45So as of right now minus three and a half for philly

01:48222 and a half the total that tells me even though they list them as a game time decision that mb's gonna play tonight

01:54Joe, uh is what that tells me

01:57Yeah, and i've got I mean

01:59The sons have lost four games in a row

02:02They are five and ten on the road this season and nothing about this team screams turnaround here

02:08Uh, I can't bet them to me. It's all about philadelphia

02:12All right, joe. Here's the rest. I'll do some more of this nba for tonight the pacers

02:16Are in brooklyn against the nets, uh pacers minus ten and a half on the road

02:24222 and a half

02:25Is the total uh, there are looks bunch of guys out camp johnson's out for the that's of course

02:31Uh russell's game time. Uh, there's a few guys there, but I mean the nets show

02:37Whether the missing guys or not have been pretty good at at covering these bigger numbers at home

02:44Throughout the season indiana is playing a lot better right now

02:48That's a very big number at the barclays

02:51Yeah, I uh, I don't know. I I think this is also a dead under I mean the nets beat the pacers 99 and 90 at home

03:00back, uh in early december

03:03And it kind of feels like especially with the weapons that brooklyn's not going to have access to here tonight

03:11I it it feels like we might in fact get uh getting under in this one

03:17I know the market's always going to think and associate indiana with an over

03:21But i'm not buying it. They've slowed things down here. Uh, they've done a pretty good reason

03:27Uh, they've done a really good job of being a little bit more efficient instead of up tempo

03:33I I think we get a very similar 110 to 95 kind of game and this thing lands under the 223

03:43Under for joe out at brooklyn, uh, we cross the river

03:47And we go to the garden, uh where we have the magic and the knicks tonight

03:52knicks right now

03:53minus 12 and a half

03:56209 and a half now before this year joe knicks always had some problems with orlando

04:01Uh, not this year, uh, they have smashed them

04:05You know pretty much every time out. I mean they beat him by 15 beat him by 9 beat him by 23

04:10Uh, the knicks have had no problem with the magic this year as they look to sweep them four games

04:15Uh already done with the season series after tonight

04:18Yeah, I mean listen, we've already seen this right? Uh from uh from this knicks team. Have we not against the magic?

04:26Um

04:27Yes, I get it. The knicks offensively have been fantastic

04:31But how in the world is orlando going to score enough points?

04:35to get this thing up and over the total here and I know it's 209 209 and a half, but

04:41It just feels like the knicks. Hey, let's get a win

04:44And let's be good to go here and let's get out of here, especially coming off of that

04:49That hard fort, uh game against okc in which they laid it all out there. I I don't know no jalen suggs

04:57Uh, no, paulo bontempo. No anthony black. I mean

05:00How are we getting more than 85 points from orlando in this one? I think it's a dead under

05:06Bucks are in toronto against the raptors bucks minus six and a half on the road

05:12230 and a half

05:14is the total couple guys with some game time designations, but

05:18Uh with the minus six and a half, uh, you're pretty sure yanis still going to be out there

05:23Yeah, no, I all to me bucks in a blowout spot here. Uh, I believe uh total

05:30Uh, maybe even a pra for yanis in this one feels like it might not be a bad look

05:36uh, it feels like a good opportunity for

05:39Uh milwaukee to get it done here tonight in a big way

05:43Spurs are in chicago against the bulls spurs minus three and a half on the road

05:48235 and a half our big total of the night

05:53Uh, what am I missing here? The spurs are six and nine straight up on the road

05:57They're playing their third game in four nights

06:00And their last game went to overtime against denver

06:02So now we've got a chicago team playing for their third time in six days and just beat the knicks

06:09Beat the knicks

06:10Um, yeah, no, uh, they've also beat five straight the spurs this chicago team

06:16I love the uh, the return alonzo ball off the bench

06:20Has really elevated the second team here. I think getting points is a gift here tonight with chicago

06:26Yeah, and uh two teams that do play a lot of overs joe. That's why I got that. I mean the bulls

06:32Defense has been optional with them

06:34Uh a lot this year and same thing can be said with the spurs

06:38Uh on most nights i'll slide one more in mavs and the grizzlies

06:42Memphis minus four and a half two thirty one and a half the total here

06:46Of course, the mavs, uh have been trying to trudge along here without luca

06:51Yeah, kind of hard here, but that was a brutal I mean they they kind of hit a wall on that five game road trip

06:57uh, memphis did and you know, that's gonna happen here, especially without uh, john morant, but

07:04This feels like a good get right spot from memphis against a very short-handed dallas team

07:09I don't think the line's big enough. I I think memphis wins by double digits
