00:00And Donnie, one of the best games of the night at the home of the reigning champs inside
00:04TD Garden.
00:05The Celtics six and a half point favorite against the Houston Rockets, 2-22 is that
00:11total.
00:12Boston, second best record around the Eastern Conference.
00:16Houston, second best record in the Western Conference.
00:20A finals preview, again I think is a little bit liberal with the use of that term, but
00:25what are we expecting tonight in Beantown?
00:28I think we got a good game.
00:29And you see that six and a half opened up here in New Jersey at FanDuel with that number
00:32and still sitting this morning at six and a half.
00:34Be interesting to see where that moves.
00:36The total itself, 221 and a half as the opener, now up to 222.
00:40But if there's two ways you can look at this game, Houston is ready for prime time or the
00:45Celtics understand the magnitude of this game, like come on now, you're actually looking
00:48at these guys as one of those contenders out in the West.
00:50Let's show them what's up, we're at home on our home court.
00:52So theoretically you'd say, you know what, I think this is going to be a Boston win by
00:55double digits.
00:56But to me, I look at that line and read it as that's a Houston Rockets line where I'm
01:00expecting them to come to town and say, you know what, we're going to shake it up here.
01:04Yeah, you want a championship, but let's announce our presence here by saying we're not afraid
01:08of you.
01:09We're not going to cower and lose by 15 points.
01:10We're going to play Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Amund Thompson, Dylan Brooks, and Alperin
01:14Shangoon are expected to be in the starting lineup tonight.
01:17I think they fight tonight, Ben.
01:18Give me the six and a half for the upstart Houston Rockets in Boston to sort of have
01:23a measuring stick game for them.
01:25How about that?
