00:00The NBA's best and worst against the spread. Can we look at the best and worst against the spread?
00:08There you go. The Cavaliers and the Grizzlies, Thunder. There's your three best and your worst.
00:14The T-Wolves have a big game tonight against the Celtics and the Sixers, Suns,
00:20Pels, and Kings are the worst teams against the spread. Very exciting. All right, Joe, tonight
00:29let's take a look at the games. It starts with your neck of the woods. How about Indy and Miami,
00:35the Heat and Hero Sandwich and Bammer laying two against the 16 and 8 Pacers in South Florida?
00:44Yeah, I mean Miami is still a team in flux and it's got it. We're all still trying to figure out
00:50what Jimmy's doing. Is he staying? Is he going? But we've actually seen some pretty big efforts
00:57from Miami as of late here over the last couple of games at Houston and then of course they beat
01:03pretty easily New Orleans last night. So the Pacers, it feels like this is a game, Scotty,
01:11where we might get a lot more points than usual here. I think it's bombs away time for Miami.
01:17A lot of threes going to be here. I think the over is not a bad look. You know the Pacers are
01:22going to get out and run, Scotty, if they can. I think they want to against this Miami Heat team,
01:27so it wouldn't shock me at all if this thing lands over the 225, 224 and a half.
01:34Hold on a second. Mafia is talking to me in my ear. The podcasts are available on iTunes,
01:39you idiot. Okay, it's not Instagram, it's iTunes and I'm sorry that I screwed that up for everyone.
01:48I am very capable of committing multiple errors in a major league game and on coast-to-coast.
01:55Thanks, Mafia. All right, Boston and Minnesota on TNT. The early game at 7.30 at the Target.
02:03Of course, they've drubbed this up as Tatum against Ann Edwards. It's actually
02:09the number two seed in the East against the number eight seed in the West
02:12and it's Minnesota getting four and a half at home on TNT.
02:19It just feels like the kind of spot in which the Celtics are going to handle their business.
02:26I wouldn't mind looking at the under either, Scotty. The Celtics much better defensively
02:31on the road than they have been at home here and we know the Timberwolves recipe for success.
02:37It's all about limiting what the other team can do, especially from outside. If they play defense,
02:44they got a shot in this one, but I know the Celtics can bring the defense themselves.
02:49Timberwolves have trouble scoring as it is. It's an under for me in this one.
02:54All right, Brooklyn's in Milwaukee at the five-serve in Brewtown and the
02:59Bucs are laying 12 and a half. 221 and a half is the number and the Nets now have D'Lo again.
03:08Yes, yes, they also have Cam Thomas back too as well since he missed what 13 straight games
03:17because of a hamstring injury there. He returned last game against the Magic only logged about 22,
03:2423 minutes and he still scored 25 points. So this is a different Nets team when Cam Thomas is out
03:31and he's able to play, Scotty. You gotta like him. I think in this spot now his second game
03:37back. That's the way I would look here. Give me the Nets to keep this thing close.
03:43All right, let's go to the Clippers and Thunder in OKC. I mean, the Thunder have been winning
03:49left and right. They seek the longest win streak. They're riding a 12-gamer with Shea Gilgis,
03:57who I think is the MVP. He is lighting it up every night. They're laying 11.
04:02214 and a half is the total. Yeah, I love it. I think that this is obviously going to be
04:12what many people think could be the game of the night here and I can see why. Except,
04:18man, you gotta be looking at that number and going, are you just daring me to take the Clippers
04:22here? That seems like an awful lot of points, but not when you consider that OKC just doesn't
04:28lose at home, Johnny. They just don't. I mean, their record at home is ridiculous here on 13-2
04:35at home. I think that the Clippers, if they dictate the tempo, have a chance, but I think
04:42this game could also get away from them rather easily. So I like the Thunder in this one for sure.
04:48Phillies at Golden State in the night capital in TNT. What could be worse?
04:54Dubs are laying three and a half. 214 and a half is the total of the chase in the city.
05:01I don't figure. I just don't understand this. This Golden State team can't get out of their
05:05own way here, Scotty, but maybe just maybe they can handle business here against this one. This
05:13is a long road trip for the Sixers, right? Throughout the holidays now, back to back,
05:18it is a tough spot, especially after a collapse against Sacramento there in the second half last
05:24night. And they got a Boston rematch coming up on Saturday. This feels like the Warriors can start
05:32to put it together if they can start winning some games at home. I think they can win this one
05:37tonight against Philly. Portland and the Lakers at the Krypton. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
05:42Lipstick City. The Lakers are the seven right now in the West, and they're laying seven and a half.
05:48224 and a half is the number. Yeah, exactly. Let's expect big things from Anthony Davis and
05:56from the Lakers here tonight. Even big things from Austin Reeves, who's really starting to
06:02shoot the rock, Scotty. He's really starting to become the end all, be all for them.
06:06I like him in this spot as well.
