00:00This line opened up as a five and a half point favorite here at four at the FanDuel Sportsbook for the Timberwolves and a total.
00:05How about this? 199 and a half. Woo! Up to 200 and a half live right now.
00:10Timberwolves Warriors tonight. Pivotal game number four.
00:14Yeah, this is also a must win for the Warriors.
00:16There's just not enough consistency.
00:18And we spoke about this on BATR on Saturday morning.
00:21Okay, Jimmy, great game from him.
00:22But who are we going to see step up? Is it going to be Kaminga?
00:25Okay, sure. It's going to be pods. It's going to be Moody.
00:27He's going to be, but he healed or any offense out of Draymond Green.
00:30Like there's no consistent option for the Warriors without Steph out there.
00:35So they need to win this game simply just for the fact that they need to extend the series just to give Steph time to get back out there.
00:41Because even if he's not 100%, which I think we'd all agree if he does come back, he won't be 100%.
00:45But just the overall, you know, the term that they use in basketball is like the gravity that Steph has to have the opposing defense like a sign to make them mark him.
00:53That opens up opportunity for everyone else.
00:55So if Steph can get back, he's 75, 80% where it is, everyone else then has to hit their shots.
00:59So this is a must-win game.
01:01When it comes to the pace overall, I'm not expecting to be super high.
01:04I'm expecting the under to hit.
01:06And frankly, I love the fact that I've seen live unders at, you know, 182 in some of these recent games.
01:11When it comes to Timberwolves' side of things, Julius Randall has been so much better than I anticipated.
01:15Do we want to get into the player prop now that I'd like for the Timberwolves?
01:19Should we do this?
01:19Yeah, of course.
01:20Come on.
01:21Go right through it, man.
01:21Mick Daniels.
01:23And just to be clear, I texted Joe Frizo, our producer behind the scenes.
01:26I texted him, Jaden Daniels.
01:28Not Jaden Daniels.
01:29Jaden Mick Daniels.
01:30Make sure we have that lined up correctly.
01:32Under 12.5 points.
01:33First game of the series, 12 points for him on 50% shooting on 12 attempts.
01:38Second game, 16 points on 70% shooting and 10 attempts.
01:42The third game, most recently, 4 of 7 overall.
01:443 of 4 from deep and 15 points.
01:47His percentage is way too high.
01:4970%, 3 of 4 from downtown.
01:51The attempts are falling.
01:52The volume attempts are going to fall.
01:53So it's going to be Ant.
01:54It's going to be Julius Randall.
01:56And then that next group is kind of jumbled, where it's a little bit of Nasrud off the bench.
01:59Dante DiVincenzo.
02:01NAW.
02:01Nikhil Alexander-Walker had a great game in game two.
02:03So there's just not enough consistency in that third grouping of players for me to go to McDaniels when his overall attempts are dropping.
