00:03 - The NBA, Joel Embiid is out,
00:05 but the Philadelphia 76ers right now
00:08 are beating the Utah Jazz.
00:11 It's 39-32 after the first quarter of play.
00:14 I think the, I think the Jazz could be worth a look here.
00:20 Thing with the Jazz is, we've been,
00:22 listen, the Jazz have been very good, right?
00:24 The Jazz have been a money-making team, man.
00:26 Like they're seven and three against the Spreads
00:28 the last 10 games.
00:29 They've been competitive.
00:30 The Jazz beat teams that they're supposed to beat.
00:33 And it's crazy because the Jazz
00:35 aren't supposed to be good, right?
00:37 But they don't suck
00:38 and they're playing good basketball right now.
00:41 Philadelphia has had a rough, you know,
00:44 rough little week here.
00:45 So I'm surprised, you know, they're, I'm not,
00:48 I'm gonna say that oftentimes when a team finds out
00:53 their guy is out, there'll be an initial spark, right?
00:57 They'll play over their heads.
00:59 All right, everybody's got to step up type of deal.
01:01 And then reality kicks in a couple of games later.
01:03 But I think reality could kick in
01:05 a couple of quarters later here.
01:06 Which like, so what, the Utah Jazz
01:10 closes five and a half point favorites.
01:11 So you got a five and a half point favorite.
01:12 But the thing is,
01:13 the Jazz are still actually favorites right now.
01:15 They are minus two and a half,
01:17 even though they're losing 39-32
01:18 after the first quarter of play.
