00:02 We'll start in Detroit.
00:04 The Pistons are pathetic.
00:05 They're two and 21.
00:06 They've lost 20 games in a row.
00:09 They take on the Sixers tonight.
00:11 This is 11 and a half, 232 and a half is the total.
00:14 You know, the Sixers the other night, Joe,
00:16 pounded Washington.
00:17 What'd they win by, 46, 45, 46 points?
00:19 - 45, yeah.
00:20 - They beat the Wizards by,
00:21 so shouldn't be a sweat tonight, right?
00:23 11 and a half against an equally as bad team on the road.
00:27 - That means you're taking the points.
00:28 I could tell you want to take the points.
00:31 No, I would take the points.
00:33 I would take the 11 and a half and I would go under.
00:36 I'll tell you what, 232 and a half is in that gray area
00:39 of the, especially 240 plus in the 230.
00:43 It's right in the middle, sell the 232 and a half.
00:45 Let's go under.
00:46 And if I had to play the game, I would take the points.
00:49 - I would never, I'm not, you can't bet the Pistons.
00:52 You just can't.
00:53 They are an awful, awful basketball team.
00:56 The Pelicans are in Washington against the Wizards.
00:59 Wizards are also awful.
01:00 They're three and 19 so far this year.
01:02 Pelicans minus seven and a half,
01:04 240 and a half is the heavy total here.
01:08 Wizards are one of those teams, Joe.
01:09 They've played a lot of their games to the over.
01:12 - Is Williamson gonna put in 30 plus tonight?
01:15 If so, then I'm gonna lay it with New Orleans.
01:17 I would go over the total
01:19 because Washington plays no defense,
01:21 lead to the Pelicans, but I go to the over, Carmen.
01:25 - Charlotte is in Miami against the Heat tonight.
01:28 Minus eight and a half for the Heat,
01:30 222 and a half is the total.
01:33 I actually kind of like the Hornets
01:36 with the points here, Joe, believe it or not.
01:39 Might like the Hornets with the points.
01:41 Do you?
01:41 - I do too.
01:42 We get points.
01:43 Who's the guy, Rozier?
01:45 Is that my guy that's cost me money with the Hornets?
01:48 Can we get him on threes?
01:50 - They played the other night in Charlotte, Joe,
01:53 if you remember on Monday night.
01:55 Heat beat them by two, 116, 114.
01:58 Now they go to Miami, so a little home and home,
02:01 and they get the bigger number.
02:03 I think they hang with them again, Joe.
02:04 I'm gonna take the eight and a half.
02:06 - I'll see what Rozier's number is,
02:08 but he's cost me, so I might wanna go props on that game.
02:12 - The Hawks are in Toronto against the Raptors here.
02:15 Minus one and a half for the Raptors, 240 and a half
02:19 is the total.
02:20 Gabe was telling me before
02:21 that he likes the Raptors tonight.
02:23 - I like the Hawks.
02:25 I mean, we just talked about how bad the Hawks are
02:27 against the number.
02:28 Why is that such a low number then?
02:30 If they're terrible and the Raptors are the right side,
02:33 I mean, they should dominate.
02:35 That seems like a cheap line.
02:36 I'll take the Hawks outright.
02:38 - They are, I just gave it to you,
02:40 the worst team against the spread so far this year
02:44 is Atlanta, but it's a short number, as you say.
02:48 They're against the Raptors, who've been pretty bad also.
02:50 The Raptors are nine and 14 this year.
02:52 They haven't been great.
02:54 Yes, the game's in Toronto.
02:56 Game's in Toronto tonight, minus the one and a half.
02:58 The Grizzlies are in Houston against the Rockets, Joe.
03:03 Rockets right now, minus seven and a half,
03:07 211 and a half is the total.
03:09 The Grizzlies have, I believe it's Joe, three more games
03:12 before they get John Morant back in the mix
03:14 and boy, do they need him.
03:15 They're six and 16.
03:17 - I would take the points with the Grizzlies,
03:19 but I would go under the 211 and a half.
03:21 Anytime, at least for me gambling,
03:24 anytime that it's in that area, 211, 214 and a half,
03:28 it never goes over.
03:29 It's always like, you know, 100 to 86 or something like,
03:32 so let's go, I'd take the points though with the Grizzlies.
03:35 Even though Morant's not there, I'm gonna take it.
03:37 Seven and a half is a huge number.
03:40 That's a huge number for the most part.
03:42 They don't suck all that bad.
03:45 - Yeah, and look, the Rockets have been spunky, Joe,
03:49 but this is a little bit different.
03:50 They've been spunky as a dog.
03:52 They've been spunky as things like,
03:53 a little different with them laying seven and a half
03:57 in a spot like this.
03:58 - You could have won basically by almost double digits.
04:00 - I would lean with you, honestly,
04:02 with the Grizzlies getting the points on the road.
04:04 Pacers are in Milwaukee against the Bucs.
04:06 So the interesting thing here, Joe,
04:08 is of course these two teams played last week in Vegas
04:12 in the semifinals for the in-season tournament.
04:14 And what was it total?
04:15 257 and a half in that game, Joe.
04:18 So now they're in Milwaukee tonight.
04:21 They didn't get over that total, by the way.
04:23 It was close, but they didn't get over the total.
04:25 Now tonight, 258 and a half for this game,
04:30 and the Bucs minus six and a half.
04:32 - I'm gonna take the over, I'm gonna take the Pacers,
04:37 and I'm gonna take Dane time.
04:39 Is Dane time, you think he's got 35 in him tonight?
04:42 He really didn't play well in that game against the Pacers.
04:45 He didn't show up.
04:47 He hasn't played well since that game either.
04:49 Monday night, he had an awful night.
04:51 Let me just say that in that game--
04:52 - Let's jump on Dane time tonight.
04:53 Come on, that's juicy.
04:55 It's juicy.
