00:00
But being a play-in-tourney team, very, very familiar for Trey Young and his Hawks.
00:06
Fourth consecutive year being in the play-in tournament.
00:10
And they've been astounding in the play-in-tourney.
00:12
Three-in-one in their previous three trips.
00:15
Their only year, DRS, not getting to the playoffs last year
00:19
when they lost their only game in that 9-10 matchup.
00:23
Five-point spread in favor of the Magic at home tonight.
00:26
A total that was at 216.5 yesterday on its way up to 219.
00:32
That would probably favor the Hawks, who have the second-highest over-percentage this year
00:37
at nearly 62% of their games.
00:40
The Magic, second-highest under-percentage, more than 50% of their games.
00:45
Which style wins out tonight in Orlando?
00:49
It's really interesting, too, right?
00:50
Because we saw that all week long.
00:51
The buybacks here from the opening numbers pounding on the unders.
00:55
And now you're getting that little bit of a discount going the opposite direction.
00:59
218.5 was the opening number.
01:00
Got as low as 216.5.
01:02
Now back up to 219.
01:03
And even some other outlets at 219.5 right now across the board.
01:07
That's interesting.
01:08
But the five, however, has stayed there all the way through with the FanDuel Sportsbook.
01:11
Opened at five, still sits at five.
01:13
Some outlets are actually as high as five and a half.
01:15
For me, again, it's just a trust in the home team.
01:17
And you're right about it.
01:18
Styles that make fights, right?
01:19
The Orlando Magic, they've been known.
01:21
Look, we'll play a slugfest here.
01:23
We'll grind it out.
01:24
We'll play good defense.
01:24
We won't get that up-tempo style when you know that's what the Atlanta Hawks want to do.
01:28
They don't play great defense here.
01:30
They want to get out and run.
01:31
And also, outside of you taking a look at Trey, Trey's been in big environments before.
01:34
Madison Square Garden cheering his name, knocking out the New York Knicks.
01:38
I mean, he's had some of those, you know, big-time fights here in the NBA.
01:42
You take a look at the Orlando Magic.
01:43
We're waiting for them, right?
01:44
We're waiting for that playoff to say, you know what?
01:46
It's a good young team here or they're ready to make the next step.
01:48
And the next step starts with playoff victories, which include the one that they're going to get tonight.
01:53
So I agree that some outlets moving to 5.5 off of the 5 at the Fandula Sportsbook.
01:57
I think the Orlando Magic win.
01:59
But also, now with that buyback going higher on the total, I'll still up to 2.19.
02:03
I like it better, obviously, than 2.17 or 2.16.5.
02:06
I think we get a win by the Magic, and the game stays under.
02:09
Because I do think, as you said, the Magic will dictate pace in this game, not the Hawks, Ben.
