00:00Let's go now to one of the games of the night.

00:01We got Oklahoma City taking on Cleveland.

00:03Maybe a finals preview.

00:05If you believe Cleveland is legit.

00:06They're two and a half point favorites.

00:08They've been the best team in the East.

00:09Maybe not named Boston or even better than Boston,

00:11depending on how you look at it.

00:12OKC is fantastic.

00:14Very close point spread here.

00:16Tells you it's a dead even heat here.

00:17228 is the total.

00:19Do you have a position tonight?

00:21I'm leaning back and forth.

00:22This is a big stretch for Oklahoma City.

00:24They just got wins over the Knicks and the Celtics.

00:26So they get a chance to prove themselves again

00:28against an elite team in the Eastern Conference.

00:30But they're on the road.

00:31Chet Holmgren is still out.

00:32Alex Caruso won't be playing.

00:33So I'm starting to lean back towards the Cavaliers,

00:36even though the Thunder always step up

00:38when the games are big like this.

00:40And Shea Gillis-Alexander is somebody

00:41you can almost always pencil in for 30 points in a game.

00:44But slightly leaning Cavs because they're at home tonight.

00:47Yeah, 31 points is his prop tonight.

00:49I mean, that's insane.

00:50And the over is minus 125 on that.

00:53Jalen Williams at 20.

00:54Donovan Mitchell, 22.

00:55Who do you think on that list here is the best game tonight,

00:57Gilbert?

00:59I like Evan Mobley.

00:59He's kind of a guy who's having that leap this year

01:02that everybody's been expecting from him.

01:03Kenny Atkinson has unlocked him.

01:04He's in the midst of some big performances.

01:06So Evan Mobley in a game like this

01:08because that frontcourt, he and Jared Allen,

01:10Isaiah Hardenstein can't handle both of those guys.

01:12So I think Evan Mobley has a big game.
