SportsTranscript
00:00 the Milwaukee Bucks.
00:05 The Nuggets a four and a half point home favorite
00:08 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
00:10 Giannis has the fifth best number to win the NBA MVP
00:13 award at 10 to one.
00:15 Since the firing of Adrian Griffin last week,
00:18 the Bucks have won two of their three games.
00:20 Both games, Milwaukee has won.
00:22 The total has hit the over,
00:24 but it's just the four or the third game this year for
00:27 Milwaukee.
00:28 What do you think is the key matchup tonight in Denver?
00:31 Well, you gotta go to the middle.
00:33 You gotta go to the middle.
00:34 You gotta see what Nicola Jokic is gonna bring.
00:36 Now this is -- unless we get this tiredness of the voters
00:41 voting for the same couple of guys -- and we've seen this
00:44 happen -- this is where the Joker can make his run, right?
00:48 They win on Saturday, no M.B.
00:50 Now you're gonna go back and you have to play against,
00:52 you know, Milwaukee tonight.
00:54 And you're looking at the Joker, guys,
00:56 I'm gonna say it.
00:58 I smell a triple-double tonight for Nicola Jokic.
01:01 I think this is a game in which, you know,
01:04 with this high sight line and the fact that they -- Brook Lopez
01:07 plays that drop coverage.
01:08 Do they adjust what they do defensively?
01:12 Do you go high pick and roll with Jamal Murray and Jokic?
01:15 Give him the ball, top of the key, shoot the ball.
01:17 That's why I think a prop you may want to look at could be
01:20 Nicola Jokic's three-point prop tonight.
01:23 If Fandul's not laying it with too much juice right now,
01:28 that may be something you want to look at.
01:30 It's over a half at -188.
01:32 I wouldn't pay that.
01:34 Ben, maybe two-plus made threes for Nicola Jokic at +290.
01:40 Sounds enticing to me, but I think a big game out of
01:44 Nicola Jokic is gonna be key.
01:46 And here's the other thing, guys.
01:48 Okay, Dox's first game I think is tonight,
01:51 if I'm not mistaken.
01:53 What are they gonna do defensively?
01:55 Like, that's what I want to see as a coach.
01:57 What is the adjustment you're gonna make?
01:59 He lost the best defender in Drew Holliday.
02:02 He lost a sneaky underrated defender in Grayson Allen.
02:06 Dave Lillard is not that guy defensively,
02:09 so if you want to look points, maybe look to someone like
02:14 Jamal Murray because you've seen over the course of the year,
02:18 Lillard has struggled with strong scoring guards.
02:23 Brunson, Halliburton, so on and so forth.
02:25 What did they do?
02:27 Did they put KCP on him?
02:28 Did they bring Andre Jackson, a rookie out of UConn, off the bench?
02:31 I think Jamal Murray could be the guy that could go off for Denver scoring-wise.
