Transcript

00:00Welcome to the Daily Boost. I'm Lucy Burge of the BetMGM Network and I am joined by Matt

00:06Horner and Amir Tyree and we have a Lions boost for all of you today from BetMGM and

00:12this boost is very exciting because it is Luka and LeBron to combine for 55 or more

00:18points in Luka's debut with the Lakers. This is boosted the Lions boost from plus 100 to

00:24120 at BetMGM. LeBron had 42 points against the Warriors and Luka could go off in his debut. What

00:30do you guys think of this boost? Yeah, I mean it definitely could hit here. I mean they're facing

00:35the Utah Jazz, right? The Utah Jazz kind of a stinker. They have 12 wins this year or 13 wins,

00:41whatever it is. They're just they're a horrendous basketball team. Luka's going to want to make an

00:45impression in his first game. The only risk I would say about this is the potential blowout

00:50factor. As I say with these games, the Lakers are 12 and a half point favorites in this game

00:54against the Jazz and they're at home. So the blowout factor, you know, they could sit these

00:59guys if it's, you know, some ridiculous score or whatever against the Jazz, but at the same time

01:03getting plus 120 for this to happen in Luka's debut, I think it's worth it. So I'd put maybe

01:08a half unit down that, but I'm going to send it over to Amir here and see what he thinks.

01:12Yeah, there's definitely a little bit of a scare factor, but I think especially just from

01:17everything that the Lakers are from a showtime perspective, you just had Austin Reeds go

01:21for what, what, 42, 45. I think even though their depth has fallen off with the Martin

01:27Wilkins trade going back, I think a lot of it is going to be kind of around having the spectacle

01:31of, oh, the new big two, our new star guy who's going to lead us into the future. And, you know,

01:36I wouldn't be surprised even if it is like getting a little bit out of hand to just like, you know,

01:41let him have his opening game and introduction to the fan base in that kind of way. So I'm

01:45definitely a fan of it as well. I love that. Get in on this lines boost at plus 120 at that MGM

01:51and head to odyssey.com slash betting for everything you need to bet on the NBA. Now

02:23I am taking the Celtics minus five and a half against the heat tonight. That is minus one 15

02:28at that MGM. The Celtics have covered their last two spreads on the road. The heat have failed to

02:33cover in five of their last seven at home. And the Celtics are also averaging seven more points per

02:39game than the heat 117 to Miami's 110. The Celtics face Miami in December and Celtics beat them 108

02:47to 89. So I think the Celtics can cover tonight minus five and a half. Jimmy Butler for them.

02:52I had to watch his first game with the Warriors against the Bulls the other day. I had to watch

02:57that. It was very painful. It was awful to watch as a Bulls fan. Very tough. What what

03:03an insane they had. They had like 40 points in the third quarter or something like that.

03:07Steph Curry was great in threes. It was nuts. I'm going to college basketball. Hopefully all you

03:13are following me on X because I just gave out I went 15 and four on picks given out on X this

03:18weekend. College basketball absolutely destroying the slate. That's just what I do. I freaking love

03:23college basketball. We're going with North Carolina here tonight. They're going up against

03:28Clemson, North Carolina, plus six and a half, moving down to five and a half in some markets.

03:33I honestly think that they may win this game outright. This is just the classic fade of a

03:38team that just beat Duke Clemson with a huge upset over Duke in their last matchup. So,

03:44again, this is just a classic fade spot after they have a huge upset win. Then you want to fade them

03:49in the next game. North Carolina, I know, has been quite the stinker this year. Not very good,

03:53but I took them six and a half, five and a half. I think they have a chance to win this game

03:59outright. So, give me the Tar Heels here, plus six and a half. I'm going to go ahead and bring

04:04it back to the NBA. I'm going to go with the Sacramento Kings on the money line against

04:08the Dallas Mavericks tonight, minus 102. The Mavericks have essentially had the

04:14full Anthony Davis experience in about one game from a standpoint of, oh, amazing player. Now,

04:21he's on the shelf for roughly a month. I think definitely when you look at that and defensively

04:26what you need in your frontcourt going against Sabonis, the Kings still have been a little bit

04:31up and down since Frederick DeAaron Fox, but you just look at the head-to-head matchup, even with

04:35those added bench players that they've brought in from the Lakers, I think DeMondis-Sabonis is just

04:40too much for that group to handle alone alongside DeZagler being an elite punk kind of combo. So,

04:45they've been a little up and down, but I think especially with the blow to Anthony Davis and,

04:49you know, we've seen what a difference he can make when he is a part of the team.

04:53They're going to be a little bit too thin to battle physically on the boards to win that

04:57game. So, like the Kings, minus 102. Very nice. Get in on the Lions boost from
