00:00Let's take a look at that finals picture here at the FanDuel Sportsbook, which shows Oklahoma City

00:03Thunder to win it all, a minus 750 price, followed by the Pacers, of course. They have

00:08the lead series lead over the New York Knicks, looking to close it out in six games at a plus

00:12700 price. And if the New York Knicks find their way into the finals with a three-game comeback

00:17here in five, six, and seven, there are 16 to one price. If we look at the price points right now,

00:23obviously overwhelming favor because OKC, because they're already there. Talk to me about if there's

00:27any price points that you like between these three teams. And also, once we do settle on the

00:31finals, are we still looking at Oklahoma City that high of a favorite here, Coach?

00:36They should be that high of a favorite because if it's the New York Knicks, let's look at the fact

00:40that they played them twice during the year and they blew their doors off. It wasn't even a contest.

00:44So it does make sense for Oklahoma City to be a big favorite versus New York-Indiana. Obviously,

00:49the Knicks line is going to move. If you want to jump on New York, you jump on them now. You think

00:54they're going to win a series because you're not going to get a better price, even if they win game

00:57six, that's going to move a little bit more. Here's the thing. I honestly think the best way

01:02to do is wait for this thing out and play the series spread and see what kind of spread you

01:07get it at because I think if it's New York, I think, honestly, I think New York can get it to six

01:14and losing six. I don't think with the way the Pacers get it, I don't think it's gonna be more

01:19than a five-game series. Because Indiana is just one win away from the NBA Finals for the first time

01:25in two and a half decades. The hypothetical NBA Finals matchup that we have in an exact

01:30series price for is OKC versus Indiana. It's minus 770, even greater than that number we showed you

01:38with the three teams remaining in the hunt for a Larry O'Brien trophy, minus 770 for the

01:44Thunder outright. The Pacers a plus 540 price in that series outright number. A series spread

01:50would be Oklahoma City laying two and a half games at minus 120. What does that mean? The Thunder

01:57would have to win in at most five games to cover that series spread. It is very interesting,

02:04JY, to see what the odds are anticipating for the NBA championship matchup as of this moment.

02:11Of course, still a lot to figure out in the Eastern Conference Finals. We'll know a lot more

02:15come the end of tomorrow night in Indianapolis. The Pacers and the Knicks. Indiana, a three

02:20and a half point favorite for game six, a total at 218. JY, a fadeaway to the break. We appreciate

02:27your time as always here on this Friday morning on the early line on SportsGrid. Are we getting

02:33that the Tyrese Halliburton shot? Yeah. A couple of points.

02:35Halliburton what? Halliburton what?

02:37Halliburton. He's stuck. He looks like a robot. Halliburton. Halliburton. Halliburton.
