00:00But DRS also a ton of games to break down from the hardwood

00:05handicap perspective on this Thursday, Minnesota on the road

00:10against the magic in Orlando the magic a slight home underdog

00:15right now catching four and a half points but reports around

00:19Orlando Palo Banco the team's best player could be on his way

00:24back at a point this week.

00:25Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow line is up to five and a half.

00:29I do believe if Bankaro was playing this would be closer to

00:32a pick them.

00:33So I think the line is telling us maybe not tonight.

00:37Paolo Bankaro is returned.

00:39Yeah, we got I have them in the estimated starting lineup here

00:41and really KCP the silver Bankaro and Badazi as the lineup

00:45now granted that could change and also you see that people

00:48get excited where he's coming back.

00:50If he's under a minutes restriction, right?

00:51Like hey, you're going to get 22 minutes as opposed to 32.

00:54If you're playing well that does make a difference but you're

00:57always buying the narrative because what are most people

00:59going to look at three and a half says the opening number

01:01up to five and a half all that means he's not playing but

01:03also how well is he going to play and if he does play are

01:06you just going to take the magic as if they're back intact

01:08with most of their star players.

01:10I tend to lean towards that line at five and a half, but

01:12you know as well as I do once it's announced that he is going

01:15to play than if he does that lines not going to be five and

01:18a half that'll drop back a little bit.

01:20No player props listed right now on the fan dual sports book

01:24on the magic side of things Orlando now a five and a half

01:27point dog when booked as a dog often without Bankero not

01:31great covering numbers five nine and one against the spread

01:35there are props out for the Timberwolves who we know are

01:38ready to go for this matchup including the Ant-Man 25 and

01:42a half is his points prop.

01:43You see the assist numbers and the rebound numbers as well

01:46that graphics looking pretty good for a prop perspective

01:50anything you like on Anthony Edwards tonight more points

01:53more points and more points.

01:54Keep it going here at this point.

01:56But again, when you take a look at the Minnesota Timberwolves

01:58and Orlando, we know Orlando doesn't play with a lot of

02:00pace.

02:01So you see the totals like what's going on like it actually

02:04been opened up a fan to a New Jersey 206 and a half down to

02:07two hundred and a half.

02:09Can somebody score in this game goodness?

02:11Yeah, it is a very very low number almost a playoff total

02:14for tonight's game really good matchup in the Western Conference

02:18between the two teams that sit second and third the Rockets

02:2124 and 1236 games 24 wins the Grizzlies 24 and 1337 games

02:2924 wins, but just one more L at this moment and right now

02:33on FanDuel no longer a two-point line.

02:36Just one basically a pick them on the Moneyline DRS the Rockets

02:39minus 110 a slight favorite in the grind City, but the Grizz

02:43minus 106 on the other.

02:45Yeah, give me the Grizz at this point that line opened up

02:47at three and a half and is now shrunk all the way down to

02:49minus one as you pointed out here.

02:51You take a look at the anticipated starting lineup as long

02:53as it's being John rant Desmond Bain.

02:55I'm going to take Memphis at home to pull out the slight

02:58upset.

03:00I'm counting up the games that we have tonight nine in total

03:03around the NBA including the Phoenix Suns at home six-point

03:07favorite against the Atlanta Hawks the Suns well below 500

03:11right now need to figure it out both in their winning ways

03:15and what exactly the rotation is looking like Bradley Beal

03:18expected to be off the bench for a third consecutive game

03:21coming off the bench this week for the first time in nine

03:24years in his NBA career his props for Thursday 15 and a

03:29half that points prop off the bench.

03:31Can he still go over even technically as a reserve?

03:36Yeah, he's going to want to do that because if he wants to

03:38pick his spot away, there's no trade clause.

03:40You want to at least do be doing it in style and also don't

03:42you want to prove a point or either type of player that

03:44goes to have hundreds of millions dollars in the bag.

03:46I'm coming off the bench.

03:47I don't feel like playing that line opened up as a look ahead

03:50line at minus three towards Phoenix is now risen to six at

03:53this point and 238.

03:55So we're expecting points.

03:56But anytime you see Booker Durant and Beal in the lineup

03:59for capabilities.

04:00I agree with that line movement here is look something's been

04:03wrong the whole year with the Suns, but they're healthy enough

04:05to play in this basketball game against an underwhelming starting

04:08lineup for the Hawks.

04:09Come on.

04:09Now, you got to be able to win this game Suns and cover Suns

04:13three game below 516 and 19 Phoenix the worst cover team in

04:18the NBA 12 and 23 against the spread just awful some college

04:23basketball action in the big 10 again home for Advantage.

04:28How critical is it in conference action?

04:30The Buckeyes now a three and a half point home favorite against

04:34Oregon.

04:34The Ducks have five quad one wins this year.

04:38Tonight's game is that opportunity Michigan State laying a big

04:41number at home against you dub the Spartans still unbeaten in

04:45big 10 play and again another home for opportunity inside the

04:49rack Rutgers catching a point and a half against Purdue.
