00:00Big slate after nobody played really yesterday in the NBA.

00:04Why don't we start in Charlotte,

00:07where the Lakers are in town against the Hornets.

00:09Lakers minus 4 1⁄2 on the road, 221 1⁄2 the total.

00:14I mean, I love LaMelo ball,

00:16but the Lakers should kick their ass.

00:19The Lakers should kick their ass.

00:21That is what should happen tonight, but we shall see.

00:25As the Lakers are starting a big road trip

00:28here on the East Coast with this stop in Charlotte.

00:31Next, we mentioned that the Cavs

00:33have lost three games in a row

00:35to get themselves to now 36-9 on the season.

00:38Detroit comes into town tonight.

00:40Cavs minus 10 1⁄2, 235 1⁄2 the total.

00:44Yeah, I'll take the 11 I'm getting right now

00:47with the Pistons.

00:49Yeah, I think that's where to go as well,

00:51especially with the Cavs not playing well

00:54over the past week.

00:55The Rockets are in Boston against the Celtics.

00:59Celtics minus 6 1⁄2, 222 1⁄2 is the total.

01:04They played recently too, didn't they, Scotty,

01:07down in Houston?

01:09The Rockets, I think they did.

01:10Yeah. Houston beat them.

01:15No, Celtics beat them January 3rd, 109-86 down in East.

01:18Okay, well, then they're gonna beat them again

01:20tonight at the Garden in Boston.

01:22I think they'll handle the 6 1⁄2 as well.

01:24This is a really good Rocket team,

01:26and it's a game that the Celtics would normally get up for

01:30because they like getting up for big games.

01:32This would be one of them.

01:33So I think the Celtics will win this game going away.

01:37The Kings got to spend a couple of days

01:39in the New York City area.

01:40They played at the Garden against the Knicks

01:42on Saturday night.

01:43Now tonight in Brooklyn against the Nets,

01:47Kings minus 12 1⁄2, 226 1⁄2 the total.

01:52I mean, they look so bad at the Garden.

01:55I just feel like taking a shot with the Nets

01:58at 11 1⁄2.

02:01Yeah, possibly up to 12 1⁄2 now too.

02:04I'll give you one more, 12 1⁄2 for the Nets.

02:07I mean, I think the Kings will win the game,

02:08but I'm gonna middle it.

02:10I think the Nets will cover.

02:11I mean, if Cam Johnson, these guys are playing,

02:13they can score.

02:15The Orlando Magic head downstate.

02:18They're in Miami tonight against the Heat.

02:21Magic minus 1 1⁄2.

02:23Road favorites here, 206 1⁄2 is the total.

02:27I don't know whether to go for it with the Heat

02:32because they're probably,

02:33I believe they're actually relieved.

02:35Like they just had a bowel movement

02:37after getting Jimmy Butler out of the house.

02:40He's done, he's suspended indefinitely.

02:42He's not gonna be on the Heat anymore.

02:44I think that's it for Jimmy Butler and the Heat.

02:46So I think they're actually happy.

02:48Give me hero sandwich and bam out of bio

02:51and the one at the Kaseya.

02:53I'll take them at home.

02:55The Grizzlies are at the garden tonight against the Knicks.

02:58Knicks minus 3 1⁄2, 241 1⁄2, big total.

03:04I still like the Knicks here.

03:05I mean, they're starting five.

03:06And you know what they've been getting is

03:08they got three guys, Shamit started hitting shots

03:11along with Payne and Deuce.

03:13They got three guys that are small, but they can all shoot.

03:16So their bench is getting a little more productivity

03:18out of it.

03:19Give me the Knicks at home at the garden.

03:21They rolled the Kings.

03:22I think they can beat the Grizzlies.

03:23It won't be easy, but I think they'll do it.

03:26Pelicans north of the border in Toronto against the Raptors.

03:31Pelicans minus 2 1⁄2 on the road tonight,

03:33234 1⁄2 the total.

03:36I'm gonna take the Raptors at home the way they cover.

03:38Give me RJ Barrett and company.

03:41They'll get it done at home at Scotiabank.

03:45The Nuggets, of course, have had it going recently.

03:48They've got themselves up to 28 and 17 now.

03:51They're in Chicago against the Bulls, who stink.

03:54Denver minus 9 1⁄2 on the road, 248 1⁄2, geez.

04:00Yeah, it sounds like a wild game,

04:02but I think the Nuggets win by 10 or more.

04:05I think the Nuggets win by 10 or more as well.

04:08The Hawks are in Minnesota against the Timberwolves.

04:12T-Wolves minus 10 1⁄2, 217 1⁄2 is the total.

04:17No Trey Young tonight.

04:18I wondered that 10 1⁄2 looked a little bit.

04:20It doesn't matter if he's playing or not

04:22because they've been melting like an ice cream cone lately.

04:25They've been losing every game they play.

04:27At target in Minneapolis, Ann Edwards and the T-Wolves roll.

04:32Roll, baby.

04:33The Wizards are in Dallas against the Mavs.

04:37Mavs minus 12 1⁄2, 231 1⁄2 the total.

04:40Spank time.

04:41This is another one.

04:42I don't care who's playing, spank time.

04:46Yeah, it seems that way.

04:48Dallas, go talk.

04:48Big time indeed.

04:49Yes.

04:51The Bucs are in Utah against the Jazz.

04:55Bucs minus 9 1⁄2, 237 1⁄2 the total.

04:58This is another one.

04:59It's gotta be Milwaukee.

05:00Now, despite with all the rumors floating around,

05:03they've been playing good ball.

05:05The Jazz stink.

05:06I gotta take the Bucs here on the streets.

05:09And finally, the Clippers are in Phoenix against the Suns.

05:14Clips minus 1 1⁄2 on the road, 224 1⁄2 the total.

05:20Yeah, I mean, Harden had 40 the other night.

05:23He was lighting it up,

05:24but I gotta take KD at the footprint in the desert.

05:28Give me the Suns and the home one.
