00:00But late night is where a lot of eyes will be

00:01when Golden State faces off against the Houston Rockets.

00:04The Warriors favored to win this series.

00:08The Rockets, though, favored to win game number one, JY.

00:12What a fun battle this should be.

00:16I think this series is over that five and a half games.

00:19One thing I did was play Rockets-Warriors over five and a half games

00:22with Clippers-Nuggets over five and a half games,

00:25plus 125 is that parlay.

00:27I didn't want to lay minus 200 on either.

00:29I want to be just, you know, I'm hoping to be double correct here

00:32that these are longer series, so I thought that was worth a shot there.

00:35Where are you at right now on Houston-Golden State?

00:38I think Houston is getting wildly disrespected, folks,

00:41because of the fact that they don't have the championship pedigree.

00:45They don't have Steph.

00:46They don't have Draymond.

00:47They don't have Steve Carr.

00:48You know, they don't have these guys.

00:50They don't have a top 30 guy.

00:53They got that guy, though, Jalen Green.

00:55And they got a kid that Kevin, myself, and I don't want to say I told you so.

01:03But Kevin, myself, Ben Stevens, when he got drafted,

01:08all three of us told you Al-Fair and Shungun was going to be a stud.

01:12People are like, Al-Fair and who?

01:13Who?

01:13What?

01:14Al-Falfa?

01:16The little rascals?

01:17No, no, no, no.

01:18Al-Fair and Shungun.

01:19Listen, this will be the Shungun coming out party.

01:23Mm-hmm.

01:25Unless they let Draymond be Draymond.

01:27Mm-hmm.

01:27And something tells me they're not.

01:31I think that E-Mate's got big game coaching experience.

01:36I know Fred VanVleet likes to play against the Warriors.

01:39How are you doing?

01:39NBA Finals?

01:41Yeah.

01:41So to me, I like the plus one and a half games for Houston.

01:48I think they find a way.

01:50And here's the reason why.

01:52And Kevin and I were talking about this before the show.

01:55You have to understand.

01:56Mm-hmm.

01:58I think they're going to be up 3-2.

02:02Right?

02:02Or I think they're going to be up 3-2.

02:04So I'm going to say seven games.

02:06I don't think they win it in six.

02:09I don't.

02:09But it's one of those things where it's just going to be so competitive,

02:15this series, that I just think Houston's going to be in it.

02:19So plus one and a half games, yes.

02:21Or if you're smart, and I think Kevin just threw out something to me

02:25that I was like, oh, I didn't think about that.

02:28The books are giving you wild numbers for five and a half games

02:33where you don't want to take anything by itself

02:36because you don't want to be at minus 200 or worse.

02:41So, yeah, maybe you take two series to go over five and a half games.

02:46I cover myself a little bit and say it goes six or seven.

02:49Then you do the same thing with, obviously, with Denver.

02:54Yeah.

02:54And now I'm looking at plus money.

02:56I've got to say, Kevin, very smart way of putting two of those things together

03:00and finding yourself some value.

03:02There's a lot of different things within this series that fascinates me.

03:07I think Sengun is incredibly important.

03:10I actually think you have one of the most.

03:12Steph against Eamon Thompson.

03:14Draymond against Alper and Sengun.

03:18Two guys in Steph and Sengun.

03:20I am not saying they are similar, but their goal is to be the offense for the team,

03:26the offensive engine.

03:27They are going up against one of the toughest matchups they could possibly have

03:31on the other side of the court.

03:32Eamon Thompson got first overall DPOI votes from people.

03:36Eamon Thompson held Steph to three points just a week ago.

03:39Draymond Green is Draymond Green.

03:41And got, of course, first overall DPOI votes from people.

03:44And can give Sengun some absolute issues.

03:47So then who swings this series?

03:50If Jimmy Butler is averaging 30 a game,

03:54Golden State is absolutely going to win this series.

03:56I am fascinated by Jalen Green.

03:59Jalen Green's worst opponent on the year, if you look at it,

04:02points per game statistically is probably Golden State.

04:04But it shouldn't be.

04:06Nobody on the Warriors should really be guarding him.

04:08Certainly not Pods or Moses Moody.

04:11Can Jalen Green step up and be a swing in this series?

04:15I think he can.

04:17I think the Rockets minus a game and a half around 320 is worth a look.

04:22Yet not one that I've played myself.

04:25I like a lot of Eamon Thompson props in this.

04:27We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:29We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:30We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:31We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:32We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:33We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:34We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:35We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:36We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:37We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:38We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:39We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:40We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:41We will hit those before we get out of here.

04:42We will hit those before we get out of here.
