00:00Welcome to the BetQL Daily Boost.
00:06I'm Lucy Burge of BetQL and I am joined by Matt Horner and Amir Tyree and we have an
00:11NBA odds boost for all of you today on Kevin Durant and Devin Booker to each have over
00:1624 and a half points boosted to plus 300 at Caesars.
00:21What do we think of this boost?
00:23Yeah, I mean, I don't mind it.
00:26So the Suns are facing the Lakers tonight.
00:30The Suns have lost five straight games.
00:33It looks like they're nine and seven.
00:34They've been a disaster lately.
00:37And in my book, I mean, right now they're favorite in this game and they've lost five
00:41straight usually pretty much in any other sport.
00:45Now, again, I don't claim to be an NBA expert, but in any other sport where a team's favorite
00:49after losing five straight, that tells you something that they're probably going to win
00:53the game.
00:55And in order to win the game, they're going to need big performances from their star players
00:58like Booker and Durant.
01:00So yeah, in this case scenario, I mean, it plays out.
01:02It's a very good, you know, trend basically in the sports betting scheme.
01:07So yeah, don't mind it for maybe a quarter unit or so, but I'm going to hand it off to
01:11somebody who's a lot more knowledgeable about the NBA than me, Amir.
01:14Yeah, for sure.
01:16You know, part of that is Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.
01:19They both missed seven games this year, both of them.
01:21For whatever reason, everyone wants to come back against the Lakers, stay on the team
01:24with Jokic missing that time and come back against the Lakers.
01:27Everyone has to go on and pick with them.
01:28So you know, Kevin Durant, he's a walking bucket at all times.
01:33Devin Booker stays around 24, 25, March this season.
01:37So they're both extra motivated and especially having gone one and one in the series.
01:41I think that's a great one, especially I think at bare minimum, one of them will get there.
01:45And then you only would have to worry about Kevin Durant if they monitor his minutes given
01:49that he missed a couple games.
01:50But regardless, we know we can score in an abundant way, so definitely like that.
01:55Love that.

02:37Favorite bets for today.
02:38I am as a noted puck head going to the ice and I am taking Bruins money line against
02:45the Canucks.
02:46So that's minus 120 at BetMGM.
02:48The Bruins are favorite here, but since firing Jim Montgomery, the Bruins are 2 and 0.
02:53They did not get off to a great start, fired their coach, and now they are 2 and 0 since
02:57that firing.
02:58So they are trending in the right direction.
03:00Also, yes, also Jim Montgomery right away.
03:04New job.
03:05Immediately.
03:06Maybe not so for Jim.
03:08Well, yes, reports now that he has been talking, was talking to the Blues throughout the season
03:13before this.
03:15So he was he was stepping out on the Bruins a little bit.
03:17So good riddance to him, but also, yeah, also in this one, the home team has won seven of
03:25the last eight games between the Canucks and Bruins and the Canucks have lost each of their
03:29last four games at TD Garden.
03:31So I love Bruins money line for tonight to make it three in a row for the Brazilians.
03:37There you go.
03:38I'm going to go to college basketball, which is the basketball hodgepodge today.
03:42What is sports?
03:43Hodgepodge sports tonight.
03:44Yeah, we got everything over here at the NBA.
03:48We got the NHL, college basketball, all types of things tomorrow.
03:52I'm going to have like a million college football bets to give out on this show.
03:55So be ready for that.
03:57Tonight I'm going to go to college basketball, which is the basketball that I'm a lot more
04:00knowledgeable on than the NBA.
04:01We're going to go to a matchup between two teams that I don't think anybody really cares
04:06about.
04:07Grand Canyon taking on Stanford.
04:10Grand Canyon is three and two this season.
04:13Stanford is six and oh, and they're playing in a neutral site game tonight.
04:17Grand Canyon is favored in this game against Stanford.
04:21And that just tells me, look, Grand Canyon is three and two, Stanford is undefeated,
04:27and they're underdogs.
04:28And in college basketball, when this is the case, again, like I don't know about the NBA,
04:32but in college basketball, I can tell you when a team that is six and oh is an underdog,
04:37they're going to lose almost every single time.
04:41So give me Grand Canyon money line here, minus 114 over at Beth Rivers.
04:46That's the best price I see right now.
04:48But again, that's coming up a bit.
04:49Now Stanford's plus one and a half.
04:51So more money coming in on Grand Canyon, it looks like there.
04:54But yeah, love the the Lopes tonight.
04:57Go Lopes.
04:58Go Lopes.
04:59I can't say I know too much about that specific game, but just college basketball in general.
05:04Normally, I've been doing well in college basketball.
05:07Wanted to make a play earlier today, but by the time that the show comes on, people will
05:12have missed it.
05:13But I am going to stay in the NBA top market like I was yesterday.
05:16I'm going to go with Damian Lillard over seven and a half assists, plus 115 where I saw it.
05:22Chopped rounds, even get a better number.
05:24After he came out of the concussion protocol, he had three straight double doubles, 10 assists,
05:2810 assists, 13 assists, and then four assists against the Charlotte Hornets.
05:32But he's going up against the Miami Heat, averaging 7.4 assists on the season.
05:36So to be right on his average, especially at three straight double doubles before his
05:40last game.
05:41I think great odds there, especially given that the Bucs are still waiting on Chris Middleton
05:45to come around.
05:46He's going to continue to need to score and play make at a high level and the Bucs outside
05:50shooters are from the bench and the starters are starting to shoot the ball a little bit
05:53more.
05:54So he's been getting a little bit more help.
05:55Love that.
05:56Love it.
