00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost. I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL and I'm joined by Amir Tyree

00:09and Kate Constable and we have an NBA odds boost for all of you today. This is on the

00:14Cavaliers, Thunder, Hawks, and Pelicans to all win boosters to plus 800 at Caesars. What

00:21do you guys think of this boost?

00:23I like this boost actually. There's one leg that I worry about a little bit more than

00:27others and that's the Hawks against the Suns because Phoenix is favored by five and a half

00:32in Atlanta, but the Hawks have a significant rest advantage over the Suns. The Hawks haven't

00:37played since the ninth. So they've had what, five days off, four days off. And the Suns,

00:42I mean, their usual one day rest in between games. So I mean, they're probably going to

00:48be fine. This is the leg I would worry about. The other two teams are heavily favored. The

00:52Cavs are favored by seven and a half in Indianapolis. And then the, who do we have? The Thunder,

00:58the Thunder favored by 11 and a half against the Sixers. Sixers are without Joel Embiid

01:01again tonight. That's not a good sign for Philly. So Amir, the one I would worry about

01:07is the Hawks, but hey, crazier things have happened. The Hawks pull out surprises all

01:10the time. So at plus 800, I think this is worth just a little sprinkle.

01:14Yeah, definitely. I'm on the same side as you as far as that being the most worrisome

01:19leg. But you know, even still, like given all the star power the Suns have, they,

01:23they started off the year so hot with Kevin Durant injury. And then now even back in their

01:27kind of experiments and with their lineup, moving Bradley Beal to the bench, trying to trade them.

01:31And he started playing better on the bench, even still, like every other game is just like

01:35helter skelter up and down. So there's really no telling what kind of quality you're going

01:39to get from them at this point in the season. So with that much value on the table, I think

01:44I love that. Get in on this boost plus 800 at Caesars and take advantage of our offer from

02:18Constable at It's a Miracle and at Lucille Burge. Favorite bets for today. I'm going to the ice. I'm

02:24going to be the puck head that I am and take a lightning money line against the Bruins. So this

02:30is minus 130. The Bruins are not very good. There's a lot of chaos kind of going along with

02:38them right now where there are reports that two players are unhappy with each other and they are

02:43refuting the reports very aggressively and saying this guy should be fired. And I know this guy

02:49and I think his report is true. But in any event, they are coming off of a win. They are 1 and 0

02:54since the report. And I think that that will end here. And I think lightning will win tonight.

03:00It's a tough skid for the Bruins. Before that win, they lost six in a row and they did win over the

03:05Panthers. But I think that this will be a loss. The Lightning have won three of their last four

03:10games. Bruins have lost their last two at home. So I am going to take lightning money line minus

03:17one third. Oh, a little drama. We love. Yeah, that's always fun. I'm going to go back to the

03:23NBA. I want to take the Brooklyn Nets in the first quarter to cover plus one or you can take them on

03:28the money line. You get about plus 114. They've been great in the first quarter. Like Brooklyn

03:33is not a very good basketball team this year, but they still cover numbers on the road that

03:37is on the road in the first quarter. They've been great. They're nine and one against the spread.

03:41They've covered their last five first quarters on the road and they are playing a Portland team

03:47that is bad at covering in the first quarter at home. They get off to a really slow start.

03:51They're just two, seven and one ATS over their last 10 games. So I think Brooklyn can get off

03:56to a good start. They can cover this number, maybe even win, win the first quarter, have a lead at

04:01the end of that. And then who knows what happens. But if I'm about in the first quarter, I don't

04:04care what happens after that. All I need is a growth in the cash early and they've been great

04:08so far. I always like a switch up on the spread of first quarter and first half. I want to do a

04:14little bit more than I think in the back half of this season. You can get really, really get a

04:19great spot in some of those things, especially for plus money sometimes. And I'm going to stay

04:23with the NBA. I'm going to go with the Pelicans plus 105 Chicago Bulls. The Pelicans, you could

04:29argue that they're underperformed more than any team in the NBA, I think this season, but also you

04:34could probably say that they've had the worst injury, the worst kind of injury look this season.

04:41Just given that DeJounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Brandon Ingram and Zion Williams sitting all like

04:46missed like 15, 20 plus games, like stretches at some point in the season. Zion Williams was back,

04:51Trey Murphy's back, CJ McCollum was back. Just on Sunday night, we watched them push the Celtics

04:58in TD Garden, lost by one point. And now they're going to play a Bulls team that's hovering around

05:04500. Colby White's questioned him to play. He missed two games ago with a neck injury, came

05:09back. Now the neck's bothering him again. So I think with him out of the lineup with Zion Williams,

05:13CJ McCollum, Trey Murphy, all those guys back, they can definitely make this game very competitive.

05:18And when I see an opportunity to try to even money a little bit more, I would take that opportunity,

05:24especially when they're playing so well. Having lost the Celtics by one and beat the

05:2876ers as well with Zion back in the lineup puts a lot of energy back in the team.

05:34Very nice. Get in on all of our bets and the odds boost plus 800
