00:00Which underdog in their opening round playoff set is winning that series outright with a plus

00:04money price? I mean, pretty simple for me. It's the Houston Rockets getting plus 138. This is

00:09the number two seed playing a play-in team with a home court advantage and the better regular

00:15season record and younger and fresher legs getting the number of 138. Ridiculous. I had no choice

00:22but to take the Houston Rockets in round number one against the Golden State Warriors. And I can't

00:26wait to watch this play out, which means, Ben, game number one. It feels like there will be a

00:30referendum immediately on that game. And I'm talking about if the Wiz, we talked about the

00:34Warriors winning by double digits. If the Warriors win by one, ah, no big deal. They won that game.

00:39They'll probably end up sweeping the Rockets. Rockets, H-Town, show up in this series and please

00:45deliver me that plus 138 because we will ride the Rockets after that as if they don't belong as the

00:50number two seed. They need this series more than any other team in the NBA just to show us that

00:56yes, Donnie, the regular season does have at least some weight in it. Go Rockets.

01:02DRS, unlike other Rockets this week, lasting more than 10 minutes is going to be crucial

01:07for Houston in this NBA playoff set. You know that I am on the Rockets at a 17-1 price to win

01:13the Western Conference crown. Rodney Dangerfield once said, I can't get no respect. That's what's

01:19happening here for Houston. I think the Rockets keep this series very, very close.

01:25I am hoping for an opportunity to cash out of my wager with a little bit of profit. I am also with

01:32Houston in this opening round set and frankly, Golden State has the pedigree. We know it. Last

01:38year did not make the playoffs out of the play-in tournament. Two years ago, came up short in the

01:42second round. Of course, three years ago, their fourth championship in eight seasons. A different

01:48Golden State team, but still a very good one. Steph, Jimmy, Draymond, obviously still led by Steve Kerr.

01:54A really formidable side, but should the Warriors without home floor advantage have this much of

02:00an advantage against Houston? I don't think so. Love the pick. My round one underdog DRS was always

02:06going to be the Milwaukee Bucks. Damian Lillard involved. Damian Lillard not in the lineup. I

02:12believe in what Giannis is doing right now for Milwaukee, much like he did back in 2021. Give me

02:17the Bucks to pull off the round one upset over the Indiana Pacers in the 4-5 matchup in the Eastern

02:24Conference.
