00:00Around the Association, your two premier NBA handicappers back together.
00:08DRS, this is really the first time we're going to be breaking down basketball games.
00:12And again, when you come to the early line, when you come to the Spiz Grizz, when you
00:16think NBA first and foremost, you think the two guys that can do it all.
00:20It's myself, it's Donny Rightside.
00:23So we're happy here on this Thursday to be breaking down some basketball.
00:28What's up with the Memphis Grizzlies?
00:30I bet the over of their win total, 46 and a half now healthy.
00:33The acquisition of Zach Eadie in the NBA draft felt like this team with a healthy John Moran,
00:39they'd be back.
00:40Last night, Desmond Bain and Marcus Smart both injured and out.
00:44Injury woes, a huge story of last season.
00:47They've lost two consecutive games, Donny, to the Bulls, who actually are above 500 for
00:51the first time in nearly two years.
00:54And last night, the Grizz as a 12-point favorite, lose by 13 to the Nets.
01:02Memphis is two and three straight up this year, just one and four against the spread.
01:05Now catching six and a half in the grind city against Milwaukee tonight.
01:11Take a look at Milwaukee on the season and say, look at that, they're one and three.
01:13Well, apparently Doc Rivers says, well, we can't beat anybody unless multiple starters
01:17are down from said team, which means tonight when you take on the Grizzlies, an opening
01:21night when they took on the Philadelphia 76ers without Paul George and also Joel Embiid.
01:26So I understand why they're the favorites and it would be interesting to see how they
01:29rise up.
01:30He said Memphis want to back the back, the Bucs come into town knowing they got to get
01:34their season started sooner than later.
01:36I can see why we have that minus six up there.
01:38And for good reason, this should be a Bucs double digit win, to be honest, Ben.
01:43And if the Grizz are shorthanded again with the injuries to Bain and Smart, Milwaukee
01:47takes advantage.
01:48The only win of the year for the Bucs as that favorite in Philadelphia on opening night
01:53when the second night of the year when the Sixers did not have Joel Embiid or Paul George.
01:59Maybe some points tonight, Memphis over in four of five, all lone star state showdown
02:04between the Rockets and the Mavericks in Dallas, Mav six and a half point favorite at home
02:09total to 25 and a half DRS.
02:11What do you like?
02:12Yeah, probably stick with the home team here.
02:14Colorado, Texas, Donchik, Irving and Thompson still waiting for clay to find his groove
02:18there.
02:19You know, he doesn't get enough shots for me at this point right now, but that happens
02:22when you come over.
02:23If you can get the best out of Clay Thompson, we're not talking about, you know, shifting
02:26back the clock seven or eight years back with Golden State.
02:29But if you're telling me right now in the NBA, which everybody's shooting three point
02:32shots left and right, Clay should be taking a minimum of ten three point shots per game
02:36on that team.
02:37So that's crazy.
02:38No, it's not.
02:39Look at Donchik and Kyrie Irvin can set you up perfectly.
02:41And there's so many shots to go around.
02:43Now, give me Clay Thompson over three point props and also the Dallas Mavericks to come
02:47away with this victory.
02:48I like this match team.
02:49Yeah, good start to this year for Clay.
02:52Four more made triples in his first three games in a man's uniform, 18 plus in those
02:57opening three.
02:58Not great in the Western Conference Finals rematch against Minnesota on Tuesday, despite
03:03a Mavericks win winning 121 14.
03:06Clay Thompson, only two made buckets, both from deep, just seven points.
03:10The Mavs three in one this year.
03:12The Rockets two and two this year.
03:14They have covered in both of their victories, often an underdog a year ago, Houston.
03:20They have not been an underdog much this season.
03:23Four games in the NBA tonight, the Jazz two point home favorite against the Spurs.
03:28That's an ugly one to twenty one and a half.
03:30A lot of defense for this San Antonio team.
03:32Might we see Victor Wembenyama on a back to back bounce back after only six points last
03:38night.
03:39The Rockets out to L.A. into a dome, Clippers and the Suns, Phoenix four and a half point
03:44road favorite in Los Angeles.
03:46Total to twenty one second game already for Phoenix in the new into a dome this year in
03:52front of the wall of Clipper Faithful.
03:53Yeah, it says they're oh and two at home right now.
03:56So this game number three, I'm going to assume at this point at this point.
03:58So maybe it's not a great point on it.
04:02Yeah.
04:03Maybe it's not a great advantage for them, by the way.
04:06Also, I believe on a back to back, I had James Harden yesterday over his three point
04:09shot total.
04:10So I'm living with Harden over this.
04:11I'll take another hard and three point shot total, but the Clippers getting beat again
04:14tonight.
04:15Stop it.
04:16Team stinks.
04:17I mean, when you look at Phoenix, of course, they did win outright in their opener, did
04:21not cover as a road favorite against the Clippers.
04:23That game went to OT.
04:25L.A. bounced back from that loss, knocking off the Nuggets and the Dobs, but both on
04:31the road.
04:33When a team is oh and two and they're playing another home game, it would be their third
04:37at home.
04:38Yeah.
04:39What's wrong with you?
04:40I had to correct you on that one.
04:42How about that?
04:43What do you mean?
04:44You said you said they're playing their second home game.
04:47The Clippers.
04:48No, the second time Phoenix has been in the Intuit Dome.
04:51Oh, come on.
04:52No, I was weak.
04:53I was saying the second time the Suns have been in the Intuit Dome, which they started
04:58off the year there.
04:59I'm correct.
05:00There's the Clippers.
05:01I got you.
05:02All right.
05:03No, the Suns, by the way, clips under in three straight to Donny's point.
05:06They have not won a home game in front of the wall.
05:10This is their third.
05:11They did cover in the opener against the Suns.
05:14They lost outright as an eight point favorite against Portland last night.
