Transcript

00:02 All right, Johnny, not too far away from us in Midtown Manhattan at Madison
00:06 Square Garden, most famous arena starts the season for both the Celtics and
00:10 the Knicks.
00:11 Boston enters MSG as a slight road favorite.
00:17 I believe the knot line is at three and a half.
00:20 It is 233 and a hook.
00:21 Is that over under tonight?
00:23 The Celtics are the NBA championship favorites.
00:26 Now the lone favorites to win the Eastern Conference.
00:29 What do the Celtics do on opening night against the Knickerbockers?
00:33 >> I think they win too.
00:34 Look at that lineup here.
00:34 Drew Holiday, Derek White, Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, and Chris Stapps,
00:38 Porzingis here.
00:39 So if we're trying to find a betting angle on this one, it's game number one.
00:43 Hey, Donnie, where are the three point shot statistics?
00:45 Are you gonna go back to last year?
00:46 How does this team fit with each other?
00:47 Let's remember, they didn't fit with each other last year because Chris Stapps,
00:50 Porzingis wasn't even on this team.
00:52 And also Marcus Smart was your starting point guard.
00:55 Now he's not here.
00:55 But how about this?
00:56 Porzingis' points prop here at the FanBlue Sportsbook, 18.5 points.
01:01 It's going back to his old stomping grounds at this point.
01:03 But there's now a lot of mouths to feed on the offensive end for
01:06 the Boston Celtics.
01:08 Tatum, 26.5, Brown, 22.5, Porzingis, 18.5, and Drew Holiday.
01:12 Maybe a bonus bargain here at 15.5 points.
01:16 I do expect the Celtics to win this game.
01:17 They're the better team.
01:18 But you know the charged environment tonight,
01:20 the garden is gonna be something to watch out for.
01:22 And also from a Knicks perspective.
01:24 Are you going Julius Randle, who you know that usage rate is going to be high.
01:27 Jalen Brunson looking to build off the season he had last year.
01:30 But for my money, I like the Boston Celtics, as I told you,
01:33 to win the Eastern Conference.
01:35 And that starts tonight with a win and a cover in the garden for me.
