00:00the home team is trailing 3-1 in the opening round series and yet remains a pretty staunch
00:06favorite for game number five to keep that season afloat five and a half points spread
00:10in favor of the lakers that total for game number five tonight in la is 209 and a hook
00:18the rs much like we presented in the first game of the night golden state the road underdog with
00:24the series uh with the ability to clinch the series tonight getting most of the betting love
00:30from the public same story with minnesota 63 of the bets on the spread back in the timberwolves now
00:38this is even a larger number the lakers could win this outright minnesota could cover as a five and
00:44a half point dog but again probably not the idea based on what we have seen so far in the opening
00:49four games of this opening round you said right away even after the lakers were beat pretty bad
00:55in game number four you were buying back in on the lake show in the return to southern california
01:01is that still the same thought entering tonight's game five yep lakers win by double digits tonight
01:07you can book that don't have to watch it late at night wake up in the morning tomorrow and find
01:10your sports book a little bit extra money in your account that's just the way i feel at this point
01:14because i do think the lakers are a quality team are the timberwolves slightly better right now yes they
01:18have the lead in the series with a chance to close out in five games but i also understand
01:22how the nba works as well and it might not be the donny conspiracy theory hat we need them for
01:26ratings here we understand how things work home court advantage you're gonna get the extra calls
01:30you just have to make the plays yourself so luka donchich comes out with a points prop of 31 and a
01:35half lebron james at 25 and a half the expectations for those two both to be at least around 30 points
01:40which is a great start but also as i talk about a great start that's exactly what you need
01:46on your home court now i'm not saying minnesota's playing with house money but the urgency for
01:51minnesota probably for them is let's see what happens in this game and if we turn it up maybe
01:55we can come out with a victory do you know what the urgency for the lakers is not to have a 25 to 24
02:00first quarter hey we scraped out the lead or boy we're down four points at the first let's hustle up
02:05let's have a great offensive performance in the first by hitting 30 points and saying to yourselves
02:10we're up five six or seven points good start let's carry the momentum all the way through and that
02:15might be the best bet you can have on the lakers it's one thing to be thought about like okay
02:18minnesota's up at the break six points you're in danger lakers like this is supposed to be your game
02:23with urgency right out of the gate what lebron james do was a game two is like hey man to pop nwa on the
02:29car just to get that right mind focus here so we can handle our business he better be doing the same
02:33exact things in game number five because there is no tomorrow if you don't have a good start you don't
02:37have a good game you're going home and then we open up pandora's box on is lebron james done what
02:42the lakers do was it luka luka doncez trade even worth it because he's completely gassed and it's
02:47not good enough on this lakers team we'll get to that if they lose but i don't think they lose tonight
02:51and that means getting off to a great start in the first quarter
02:55you
