00:00the nba regular season that is our focus right now with just five more days remaining sunday
00:06the regular season finale day for all 30 nba clubs all 30 teams will have played their 82nd game
00:13by the close of sunday which means the postseason on the horizon a play-in tournament around this
00:20time next week i think it starts on wednesday then the true playoffs after that in the nba
00:25we will do a lot of postseason looks in this second hour to begin in drs just over two weeks away from
00:34one of your favorite events in green bay wisconsin 2025 nfl draft in some shifting and moving markets
00:42in the last 48 hours at the top of the nfl draft to break down do we have a snow date as well just
00:48in case maybe it snows too much in green bay this time of the season don't you think move it back
00:52move it indoors do you remember by the way and again it's not too long ago the covid draft where
00:57roger goodell's in his basement i mean we've come a long way they did a really good job with it you
01:02don't remember that moment for a long time bill belichick's dog drafting for the new england
01:06patriots what a time it's kind of crazy the nfl throughout all of covid and that 2020 campaign
01:11and with everything even in the offseason calendar like they didn't miss a beat no they didn't and i
01:15remember like growing up like it was always in like new york city radio city musical and it's like you
01:20know what it's the bigness of the event and the nfl's like you know what we're gonna take this
01:23worldwide and just go city to city and have millions of people show up and enjoy themselves
01:27even in like cities like detroit where they even have a million people there was packed
01:31or it's on a comeback you watch i don't know i will say though it is crazy because we talk college
01:37basketball right and we always say well there wasn't a 2020 ncaa tournament yeah we talk about
01:42the 2020 campaigns the nba in the bubble the mlb the shortened sprint that was 60 games you don't need
01:48any asterisks for what happened in 2020 in the national football league they remain king let's
01:53look at the championship odds for this year around the association we reset the title odds and where
01:59things stand with fewer than a week remaining in this regular season the oklahoma city thunder who
02:05have the best record at this moment have already clinched the number one seed in the western conference
02:09are the title favorites at plus 170 15 cents in front of the reigning nba champs in the boston celtics
02:17at plus 185 donnie this has been the nba finals that we have expected and this is what the odds
02:25makers are still expecting that we see just a 15 cent gap between the celtics and the thunder on the
02:32fan duels and i don't think it's going to change all that much like you're already taking a look at
02:35games like oh okay so you got blown out by the lakers which review a game tonight where it's going
02:39to be maybe payback on deck for them but you see the plus 170 the plus 185 then the cleveland
02:44cavaliers pulling up the rear there so to speak there for only three teams at a five to one price
02:48regardless it looks like the cavaliers obviously the number one overall seed in the east you're
02:52going to have obviously also the oklahoma city thunder number one and the boston celtics we know
02:56the tried and true tradition last year world champions coming into the playoffs somewhat healthy at this
03:01point they'll be okay as well so if you're saying is there value right now towards the end of the
03:05regular season there really isn't because we understand where these teams are going to fall and
03:09they're just jockeying right now not for position but just to get their rotations correct and also
03:14be healthy once the playoffs start donnie something we have harped on the entirety of this nba regular
03:19season with how prolific and historic the cleveland cavaliers have been in their wins this season it's 62
03:25and 16 they've cooled off a little bit in the last two weeks they haven't officially clinched the
03:31number one seed in the eastern conference just yet but with a four game lead with only four games
03:36remaining and as a 12 point home favorite tonight in the land against the chicago bulls the cavaliers
03:41magic number to be that one seed is one that would be one victory tonight against the bulls and that's
03:48something we have discussed i would still say if you are looking for a spot that maybe you can find
03:54some value you give the pedigree and of course all the championship experience to the boston celtics
04:00at a plus 185 price to win the nba title out of the eastern conference but the celtics are not going to have
04:06home four advantage they've actually been much better on the road this year than inside td garden
04:11the cavaliers will be the one seed in the eastern conference and if oklahoma city gets to that nba
04:16championship set against anybody including the cavaliers okc will have that home four advantage
04:21exactly and that's the key here you want game seven in your building which theoretically you can say
04:26like just put in the back of your head okc okay we can lose every single road game as long as we
04:32in our home games and nobody can do anything about it we'll be world champions at this point
04:35that is a great thing to have now we understand how good the boston celtics are as a team and are on
04:40the road we'll see if the cleveland cavaliers are they just regular season tough can they enter into
04:44the playoffs and knock down some competitive teams we talked about like the new york knicks finally
04:47getting healthy at the right time in the season by the way big game tonight in the garden as well
04:51against the boston celtics we'll hit a little bit later in the show the los angeles lakers all of a sudden
04:55the warriors started to make a comeback here in the top two five now at an 18 to one price to win it but of
05:01course the focus is going to be and the questions will always come up we know boston's built for
05:05this they won it last year the cleveland cavaliers are they the paper tiger the regular season i don't
05:09think so i think there's a legitimate chance they can wind up in the nba finals but the question
05:13marks always will be for okc expectations we're gonna have a good basketball team i don't know if
05:18expectations were as high as we're gonna be the best record in the nba as we start to make our move
05:23toward a championship that'll be a fun one to play out but those questions will be there
05:27right up to the day where they possibly win it there's no doubt about it right it's a new
05:31it's a new era atop the western conference where oklahoma city reigns supreme at this moment they're
05:37a minus money favorite near a dollar and a half price to win that western conference crown but last
05:42year okc in a six game series against the dallas mavericks lost in the second round and so can the
05:49thunder now learn from that postseason lapse and take their lumps and move it forward this season that
05:55is what we will yes drs i think if we looked at value outside of those top three teams okc boston
06:03and then cleveland because you have to triple the price of the cavaliers then add on a few dollars
06:09of change to even get to the lakers or the warriors is there any team outside of the top three that would
06:15be worth a sprinkle as we enter this final week of the regular season yeah look at the rockets 90 to
06:21one on the rockets they're the number two seed in the western conference and they're 90 to one to
06:26win an nba championship are we just saying they're the ultimate paper champion of the regular season
06:31like every one of their wins doesn't count no way they can compete in the playoffs because what a team
06:35like the denver nuggets who's skidding down the stretch you'll be able to easily dispatch them the
06:39los angeles lakers that show points of hey we're really good and then step back and say oh i can't
06:44believe that lakers lost that game so for me outside of the clippers which you know i like at 43 to 1 as it
06:49sits right now at the fandu sportsbook 90 to 1 is insane like what other sport can you put the number
06:54two seed in any conference and say it's not almost 100 to 1 to win a championship i don't get it i bet
07:01the houston rockets before the all-star break at a 17 to 1 price to win the west because at that point
07:07they were the two seed i was just hoping they would host an opening round playoff series so i could cash
07:12out maybe with a couple of dollars of profit the price has gotten longer yeah by 11 dollars and they
07:18have cleared outrageous the number two seed in the western conference are we really i mean i guess it's
07:24the idea that the seven seed is probably going to be the minnesota timberwolves or the memphis
07:29christmas i'm not so sure yeah the rockets are going to be a hefty opening round underdog with home
07:34for advantage against any of the teams that could emerge from the play in tourney a lot to figure out
07:41though around the western conference lakers have a game and a half lead over the nuggets
07:45for that three four split the clippers only a half game back of the nugs as well and donnie when you
07:51look right now at six or excuse me five through eight 46 and 32 the clippers 46 and 32 golden state
07:5846 and 32 timberwolves 46 and 32 memphis all four of those teams five through eight right now tied with
08:07the exact same record it's incredible and again you're jockeying for major positions like okay we'll set up
08:11and lose one seed line you're either in the playoffs officially in the top six or you're
08:15playing a play-in game you don't want to have the playing game you want to be in that top six so
08:19for a couple games left those would be the teams to watch down the stretch and must need situation
08:23with wins we'll look at the western conference playoff picture up next live right here on tdl
08:28live right here on this tuesday morning on the early line on sports grid just five days remaining
08:33in the nba's regular season so we go conference by conference to look at where the playoff picture
08:39stands right now and what is still at stake over this final week of the nba regular season of course
08:45in the western conference the oklahoma city thunder about two and a half weeks ago already clinched that
08:50number one overall seed they have a 12 and a half game lead in front of the houston rockets i said the
08:57rockets had already clinched the number two seed technically a little bit still more at stake the
09:02rockets a three and a half game lead with only three games remaining if they were to lose their final
09:07three and the lakers were to win their final four in a row it would come down to some tiebreakers we
09:12don't expect that to be the case houston should be the two seed we'll talk about their odds to win
09:16the conference crowd in just a moment because they keep getting worse seemingly week over week which
09:22is crazy the lakers led by lebron and luka a game and a half advantage over the denver nuggets for the
09:28three seed denver in a tailspin the last week they have dropped four straight four straight games the rs
09:34where in two of them nikola yokich has recorded the first ever 60 point triple double in nba history
09:40and most recently a 41 point triple double in the nuggets recent loss on sunday against the indiana
09:46pacers and then the story that you see there five through eight the clippers warriors t wolves grizzlies
09:55all with the same exact record but just four games left 46 and 32 yeah you got you got to perform at this
10:01point in the year and also the troubling point about the nuggets is i don't think people are worried
10:05about once they get to the playoffs like they have a championship like and nikola yokich is playing
10:09great basketball but that's the issue you can't have a 60 point triple double and 40 point triple
10:13doubles and losing those basketball games it's one thing to say that they're on a slide because
10:16they're trying to manage an elbow injury let's just say for nikola yokich or hey he's just not right
10:21right now his cardio is a little bit off his uh triple doubles are 15 12 and 10 like epic performances
10:27like that somebody else needs to step up for that basketball team and they have the players to do it
10:31but they're just not performing and also the alarming rate of let's just say they don't play
10:35great basketball they go from the fourth seed to the eighth seed at that point or something like that
10:39which is great it sounds crazy but one or two losses where you might finish 500 the rest of the way and
10:44the other two teams are going three and one or four and one or five and one down the stretch however
10:48many games they got back no choice but you're out of it here so playing not your best basketball at the
10:52end of the season when you desperately need to be in tune with the playoffs to make a championship run
10:57and if you're seeding drops that hurts you that's a tough scene there the rs denver nuggets at the
11:02all-star break were 36 and 19 riding a very lengthy win streak they won their first game
11:07out of the break 37 and 19 from that moment they are 10 and 13 it's not atrocious but it's not the
11:16basketball you want to be playing of course rounding into your best form entering the postseason
11:21including this four game slide it may be more concerning than 10 and 13 they've covered five
11:27times since the all-star break in 24 total games again not where denver wants to be the championship
11:34pedigree is there but to donnie's point they only have a half game lead over those cluster of four
11:40teams all with the same record at 46 and 32 the clippers and the warriors right now based on tiebreakers
11:47the advantages they would be out of a play in tournament the five seed would be la the six seed
11:53would be golden state and golden state with jimmy butler since he played in his first game drs in a
11:58dubs uniform is now 21 and six golden state playing really good basketball but still in danger of having
12:06to be in the play and turning in the western and also like the expectations of the minnesota timbrels
12:10coming into the season you know you make the change from carl anthony towns over to julius randall
12:14from a team that played very well last year still playing good basketball 46 and 32 but at the season
12:18ended today they're in the playing round so you did it's not as if like you look at the east it's
12:22like look at these teams in the playing round like eventually they're going to get washed out but
12:26they're just happy to be there you're taking a look at championship pedigree teams fighting for their
12:31playoff lives right now from a one-game playoff that they might run themselves into and it's a shame
12:35that the dallas mavericks with anthony davis back into it still hovering around that 10 spot is what
12:40you're getting out of the phoenix suns who lost six games in a row without kevin durant services here
12:44they're completely bottoming out because you would have kyrie irving and then also
12:48layered up ability where they probably wouldn't be sitting at 38 and 41 so the western conference
12:53it seems on a year-to-year basis top to bottom is always better than the eastern conference but the
12:58heavyweights in the eastern conference certainly going to weigh into it but watching down the stretch
13:02where an nba season that doesn't give us a lot to cheer for the western conference finish is going
13:06to be interesting outside of those top couple seeds drs exactly one week from today the nba's play
13:12in tournament begins with the seven eight matchups in both conferences so that means out west as of
13:18this moment it would be in the twin cities between the timberwolves and the grizzlies memphis on a slide
13:23as well a very tumultuous second half of this season the dismissal of their head coach taylor jenkins
13:29just a few days ago memphis has one two straight though after a five game slide to be at that 46 and 32
13:37number i still need one more win for the grizz in their final four to go over their preseason win total
13:42bet of 46 and a half memphis will play minnesota down the home stretch of this regular season
13:49as well in their final four games let's talk about those western conference odds as it does correlate
13:55the rs to what we are seeing here in those postseason positions again oklahoma city 12 and a half game
14:02lead better than anybody else in the western conference in that number one overall spot they've
14:07already clinched they will have home floor advantage as of this moment the entirety of the postseason
14:11however long they are they are even in to the nba finals that's why they are a dollar and a half
14:17minus money favorite but when you have a minus 150 favorite for the thunder before the postseason
14:22has even begun of course there could be some value of those teams not named oklahoma city who catches
14:28your eye still the clippers 14 to 1 playoff testing to get experience quite leonard healthy at the
14:33right time hopefully james harden stays healthy as well and also our guy norm pow but you know the denver
14:38nuggets also have a pedigree at a 9 to 1 price not talking about winning the championship just
14:41making the championship round at getting those price points and then once again number two in
14:46the standings number seven in the odds market is the houston rockets 28 to 1 i'm not advocating saying
14:52that the rocket's going to run through the championship and knock off the boston celtics
14:55or the cleveland cavaliers but just the disrespect of that number it's like hey we you guys had a good
15:00season and yeah you're the two seed but you're the seventh overall number on the fanduel sportsbook i
15:05can't buy into that at that point here so from a playoff perspective for me clippers 16 excuse me
15:1014 to 1 rockets 28 to 1 the rockets are a young team but they do have eme udoka in his second year
15:16of course an experienced head coach with home floor advantage and where the odds look right now they
15:22would be an underdog against teams that have to get out of the play in tournament does strike me strange
15:28again i have a 17 to 1 number on the rockets that i hope gets a little bit better by the time we start
15:34the playoffs and i hope at least i can find some cash out value or some hedging opportunities
15:39throughout the postseason by the way the clippers have won four straight and 14 of their last seven
15:44eastern conference we go next a look at the eastern conference playoff standing with only five days
15:51remaining in the nba regular season drs unlike the western conference where basically everything is
15:57still up for grabs outside of the number one overall seed not much in reality that is still
16:03outstanding in the eastern conference playoff picture cavaliers have not officially clinched
16:09the top spot in the eastern conference but with a four game advantage over the reigning champs in the
16:14celtics with just four games remaining and tonight at home is a 12 point favorite against the chicago
16:20bulls the magic number to be one is one for cleveland and that and then again will make official the
16:26conversation we have been having for the large part of the last two two and a half months boston has the
16:32championship pedigree the celtics are a minus 150 favorite for the eastern conference crowd and yet
16:38they will not have home for advantage it's going to be the cleveland cavaliers it is going to be the
16:42cleveland cavaliers and all season like they're 62 and 16 and again we're still doubting them only
16:46because it's the boston celtics and the championship pedigree and how strong that lineup looks when it's
16:51fully healthy and intact we'll see if that lineup by the way is fully healthy and intact tonight here going
16:55up against the new york knicks but in the playoffs i don't want to doubt the cavaliers and i don't want
17:00anything to say like because their season start was so phenomenal and i just said they're 62 and 16
17:05which is crazy but i think people are looking like oh only six and four in the last 10 lost their last
17:09game they're rounding in the form for the playoffs i don't put a lot of stock in unless those seating
17:14purposes games particularly out in the western conference are going to like angle up right the
17:18cavaliers don't worry about winning games they're going to be the number one seed not going to lose
17:21four games out they'll have number one overall the most important thing is don't get there with a
17:25donovan mitchell sprained ankle quad injury or a groin injury at that point that's all i'm looking forward to
17:29but i gotta tell you like yes everybody should be worried about the celtics celtics are 58 and 20
17:34though they're not like the dodgers were expecting to go 162 and oh they lose two games oh my goodness
17:39what's wrong with them i actually believe like the cavaliers 33 and 6 at home and also 29 and 10 on
17:44the road they should beat the boston celtics but until we see it yeah people are going to doubt it it's
17:50the way it is they are not going to be favored to do that if that is the projected eastern conference
17:54finals matchup we keep hammering the point but boston won't be inside pd garden like they were
17:59last year on their way to winning championship banner number 18 maybe it doesn't matter for this
18:04year's celtics team they're 32 and 7 on the road it is the best away from home record around the
18:10entirety of the association four games though between cleveland and boston this year split to a
18:16piece in split in the home and home both teams lost once at home and both teams of course then won
18:21once on the road against that opponent and boston is going to be the two seed they've got an eight
18:26game advantage over the new york knicks the knicks at home tonight against the celtics not only a big
18:31game drs to try to wrap up the number three seed in the eastern conference but really a proven spot for
18:37new york who will play both the seas and the calves down the home stretch in the final week of this nba
18:43regular season as it has been well reported new york is oh and six both straight up and against the
18:49number against both boston and cleveland this year it is why there is such a large distinction among
18:55those top two teams in the eastern conference both standings and odds boys no and again proof is
19:00in the pudding as we like to say like you can beat every one of those you know smaller teams across
19:05the league yourself and say yeah we're going to beat those up but when you start to play the upper
19:08echelon teams we are going to look at that record because even if you struggle let's just say with
19:12the bottom six teams and they have only three and three against those teams but you do have wins
19:16against the boston celtics and the okc thunder you can sort of level that advantage that's a big game
19:21tonight in the garden not because it changes seating purposes or if the celtics is oh no are
19:25they not right for the playoffs it's just that one of those file it away yeah we beat the celtics
19:30down the stretch our guy is back in the lineup in jalen brunson now we're ready for the playoffs you
19:35know be a bad look brunson comes back nothing changes 10 point loss at home to the celtics bad
19:40look that would be inside msg tonight the knicks are an ever so slight favorite a point in minus 112
19:46on the money line they have been the underdog in five of the first six matchups against both
19:51cleveland and boston this year elsewhere drs around the eastern conference standings really not much
19:57to report the knicks have a three game lead over the pacers for the four split indiana three games
20:02in front of milwaukee the bucks without damian lillard but some really strong play from yannis
20:07down the stretch a game and a half advantage over the pistons and all four play and tourney teams in
20:12the eastern conference firmly locked into those spots we could see a change from chicago and miami
20:18for who hosts the 9-10 matchup but not much there again when you go back to the odds board that is
20:23why you see such large gaps in the prices minus 150 for boston plus 185 for cleveland 13 to 1 on new
20:32york donnie do you think anybody else will be in the eastern conference finals no except those top two
20:37teams no i don't and again maybe the knicks can catch some fire because the overall talent for the
20:41knicks and they do have a playoff pedigree last year getting so injured and so banged up and still
20:45winning a few playoff series maybe they can do it but i'll tell you one thing like the nba can't be
20:49happy with the magic hawks bulls and heat in the playing rounds who is watching that i think that's
20:54been the play-in tournament for the last three years all four of those teams i know orlando was not a
20:59season ago but it's basically rinse and repeat final week of the 2024-25 nba regular season just five
21:07days remain until regular season finale sunday where all 30 nba clubs will have played their 82nd
21:14regular season game still some postseason positioning to figure out around the association and jy that
21:21includes in the eastern conference a marquee matchup on this tuesday night slate a 10 game nba docket that
21:28we have in ahead including inside madison square garden is there a turbine that's a crab noise they love it
21:35we're a live studio audience it's like saturday night when they were doing the severance event
21:40and they would open up the door that's the kind of enthusiasm that jy brings new york knicks with
21:47one more win french the number three seed in the eastern conference the celtics still technically alive
21:54for the number one overall seed as the reigning champs but as we'll discuss in just a little bit
21:58the calves double digit home favorite tonight against chicago they win they are the one seed in the
22:03eastern conference jy a huge game tonight inside the world's most famous arena that actually sees
22:09the knicks as an ever so slight favorite against the seas total stands at 2 21 and a half again from
22:18the postseason position positioning standpoint just a little bit to figure out in the eastern conference
22:23but outside of positioning it feels like a proven opportunity for new york was oh and six this year
22:29against both boston and cleveland and oh and six against the number as well will the knicks make a statement
22:35tonight inside the garden it's more than oh and six it's oh and eight if you count oklahoma city and i think
22:39every game but one they've lost by double digits this is the proving game for the knicks you know and this
22:46is the first time all year that they're going to have everyone available including mitchell
22:51robinson which kind of changes the defense of the knicks this is the big game and if i'm tips i have to go for it
22:57because i need this for my psyche i need it for my team psyche and honestly i need it for the fan
23:03base psyche like myself who has seen this team humble any opportunity they've had in a big game so i
23:10think the knicks will try and go for it and get the win if you want to look at anything maybe look at
23:15that under 222 as tips will probably slow this game down mitchell robinson offensive rebounding along
23:22with shot blocking but not an offensive threat i think the knicks get the win more importantly
23:27i think the game goes under the knicks will play this game today donnie like it is a playoff yeah
23:31i think it's going to be an interesting one too because the fan dual sportsbook here in new jersey
23:34opened up as a three-point favorite for the boston celtics and as this morning moves on as you saw
23:38that graphic at plus one now shifting actually minus one and a half points for the new york knicks which
23:43does say that yes the knicks are healthy but also who's actually going to be in the starting
23:46lineup for the boston celtics understand this theoretically trying to catch cleveland not going to catch
23:51them right do they want to say you know what now's the time we're going to rotate each game here we're not
23:55going to max things out we're going to take our number two seed but the most important thing to
23:59be healthy by the time the playoffs start which means we just saw a game a few days ago coach
24:04lakers in the thunder sunday afternoon most people like okay i'm getting ready for the women's
24:08championship game and or tomorrow's national championship game an absolutely unbelievable
24:13performance by the lakers dismantling the okc thunder now here's what we like coach line opens up
24:19in new jersey minus eight and a half say well that's pretty strong right there as a favor for okc yeah
24:22maybe they handle their business we're not up to 14 and a half points here which lets us know
24:27luka dodges and lebron james maybe not playing at all in this game so okc two touchdowns as a favorite
24:33looking for revenge tonight looking for major revenge tonight and an oklahoma city thunder team
24:38that really has not put the pedal off a lot but here's the thing you got to keep looking every half
24:45every 30 minute past the hour the nba will release their injury report so you look at right now with
24:50the lakers luka questionable lebron questionable you already have rui hotchamore out awesome reeves
24:56questionable right so that's something to watch for we talked about boston you have a bunch of those
25:01guys questionable as well do you punt the interesting thing is is you know for the lakers though
25:06the west is so jammed up do they want to take a chance in losing a game tonight that's the thing you
25:16have to think about boston you're right they're not going to catch cleveland it makes no sense for
25:20for me if you want to rest guys tonight you got to rest them but that means for new york you better
25:24win and win comfortably but it'll be interesting what happens with the lakers without playoff
25:28positioning in the west even the lakers at full strength they're going to be an underdog tonight
25:32in okc against okc especially with the thunder try to exact revenge but i don't think the lakers
25:38should be taking any nights off they have a game and a half lead over the nuggets for that three spot
25:43denver currently the four seed in the western conference denver only has three more games
25:48remaining this will be la's fourth to last but again if you're the three seed right now if you
25:53were to reach the second round you would take on the rockets by the odds makers the lakers will be a
25:59pretty hefty favorite to win that series if you are the four seed and you were to reach the second
26:04round okc awaits with home floor advantage it benefits the lakers to be the three seed in the eastern
26:11in the western conference rather it is also very interesting to see la as a 14 and a half point
26:17underdog now and what you just mentioned about the availability report for la but in the prop market
26:23which is often an indication of who is going to play especially this early on in a day luka donchich
26:28ron james and austin reeves all have points props out there do with that what you will luka donchich
26:36had a 30 point performance in that road win against okc on sunday the lakers winning
26:41by nearly 30 27 points outright as a nine and a half point underdog right now jy oklahoma city a
26:48minus 150 favorite to win the western conference crown the lakers actually have the second best
26:53number at plus 650 when you have such a hefty favorite in okc as the west number one seed of
27:01course that can provide value in many different spots for every other team that will see the
27:05postseason around the western conference if you had to look at one of those long numbers who gets
27:10your attention well to me it's minnesota because of the fact that they have the moxie and and
27:15obviously the closer in anthony edwards and then obviously game slows down that's where maybe rudy
27:20gobert could be more effective in half court defense but to me it's hate to say it said at nick fans
27:27it's about julius randall like which randall do you get you got regular season randall you got
27:32playoff randall but here's the scary thing in the west why the east is pretty much decided one through six
27:37you got to think about denver clippers golden state minnesota memphis they're all tied in the
27:44loss column so seeds four through eight have not been decided and the lakers only two up on the three
27:52slot so a lot of this is going to go to the markers are going to move guys because this is going to be
27:58about matchups who matches up with who lakers gotta stay at three you know listen at the end of the day
28:06you don't want that four or five matchup with denver i don't i don't want any part of nicole
28:11yokich you know with jackson hayes and alex land and rui hachimora trying to stop the joker in a seven
28:17game series i don't care what happened during the regular season playoff basketball mike malone
28:22punted on one of those games probably both of them i would watch out we have to see the matchups
28:28man because that's going to dictate what's going to happen in the west and by the way what's going to
28:32happen in the west might be a factor there for the golden state warriors playing really good
28:35basketball since acquiring jimmy butler they're going to take on the phoenix suns tonight this line
28:39opened up at the fanduel sportsbook overnight minus six here in new jersey now sitting at minus
28:43nine and a half total in that game 228 and a half dropping a little bit to 227 live the phoenix
28:48suns i guess they could be in tank mode at this point after kevin durant got injured their playoff
28:52hopes basically up in smoke with the warriors looking to exact some revenge here and say you know
28:56what we might be to continue to improve our seating every win matters for the warriors right now
29:01yeah that's why you got to like golden state and obviously if you've watched not just uh
29:05ramping hurt bradley beal oh my god like what what happened to this guy yeah i mean listen by the way
29:13shout out to bradley beal best contract of all time no trade clause got himself to phoenix and then just
29:18like right down so to me phoenix is the team to watch right now but in the offseason
29:25do they go for their fourth coach in four years does kevin durant get traded does booker one out
29:30who wants bradley beal maybe the shanghai sharks maybe now someplace you can send them but there
29:35is problems in phoenix i would lay the wood tonight on golden state yeah golden state also since jimmy
29:41butler entered the starting lineup his first game against the bulls back on february 8th
29:4721 and 6 straight up that line doesn't feel strong enough for the direction the suns are trending
29:52and where the dubs are heading as well quickly jy in our final seconds together eastern conference
29:58title odds boston the odds on favorite cleveland second best price then everybody else is that
30:03the eastern conference finals matchup already yes unless the knicks show me something tonight with
30:08a big win but i need everyone playing for boston in order to think that yeah a statement win
30:12potentially for the knicks a slight favor tonight
30:15you should have fade away in the studio say what fade away in person
30:19jcu 31 go get it
