00:00but time for our Sports Millions plays of the day. This is where we take a game and we'll use NBA
00:06tonight and we pick a particular player that SportsMillions.com is offering. You go higher
00:12or lower whether it's points, rebounds, or assists. We use three. Joe takes two, I take one.
00:19Sometimes we do the other way around. Came close yesterday for hitting ours. We went two and one.
00:25I hit mine, but someone didn't hold up her end of the bargain. I won't say anything, but okay.
00:31All I know is I got my R.G. Davis pick. All right, so let's rebound tonight, Joe. Let's
00:36get a winner here for a three-pack. I'll go first. I got to use rebounds. I don't generally do
00:42rebounds. Generally, it's points, every once in a while assists, but we're going to go rebounds.
00:47We're going to use the Memphis game. That should be a high-scoring game. These two teams aren't
00:52going to play any defense. It's a Sunday. Who's going out of the way to play defense in a game
00:58like this? We're going to go higher somewhere along the line. Who are we going to choose?
01:02Memphis and New Orleans. The over-under is close to 240. We should get a ton of points,
01:09a ton of shots, a ton of missed shots. That's why we're going to go rebounds. I'm going to use
01:14Desmond Bain, believe it or not, of the Memphis Grizzlies. Why him? His number is six and a half.
01:21As much as he's not really known as a rebounder, for whatever reason,
01:25he's been on fire with the rebounds. His last three games, get a load of this. Again,
01:31the number is only six and a half. Desmond Bain, who averages five rebounds or so a game,
01:37his last three, double-digit in rebounds, 16 his last game. Then he had six. Then before that,
01:47he had 10. The time before that, he had 12. He's had double-digit rebounds in three of his last
01:54four games. He averages just over six. For whatever reason, these last three, four games,
02:01he's been on fire. Really, when you go before that, he had three and five, but then it was
02:05seven. He had six, eight, nine, nine. Really, from February on, he's hit this number one, two,
02:12three, three and one, three and two, four and two, five, six, seven, seven times in about 10,
02:1711 games. It's six and a half. Like I said, there should be a ton of shots, ton of made shots,
02:23but a ton of missed shots as well. I'm thinking Desmond Bain, believe it or not, higher,
02:29six and a half rebounds. Jo, what about you? Nice angle there. I like where you're going.
02:33I'm going to look at the matchup here between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Milwaukee Bucks. Now,
02:37I'm expecting a lot of points in this one. We've got a higher total, and because of that,
02:42I'm looking at two players, one on either side for a three-time multiplier over on SportsMillions
02:47for their points. So, the first one I'm going to look at is Donovan Mitchell coming out here. His
02:53points that I got him at earlier in the day was 25 and a half. You're now able to get that number
02:58at 24 and a half over on SportsMillions, and you're just getting a better number than I'm
03:03getting. And I do think it's still worth it, even though we're seeing the number move in the
03:07opposite direction. He is being so strong versus the Milwaukee Bucks. In his last game out on the
03:12court versus the Milwaukee Bucks, he was able to put up 27 points, four rebounds, and six assists.
03:17Now, he's averaging 27.1 points per game, 5.1 assists, and 4.2 rebounds in 20 career games
03:25versus the Milwaukee Bucks, and I don't think this game is going to be any different. I'm
03:30expecting that lack of defense here out of the Milwaukee Bucks versus Donovan Mitchell. So,
03:35look for Donovan Mitchell to be able to go higher than the 25 and a half. And then on the other side
03:41for the Bucks, I'm going to look at Giannis, and Giannis to come out nice and strong in this one.
03:45His last two games versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, we've seen him be able to put up those points,
03:5033 points in the last game, 14 rebounds and three assists. In the game prior,
03:5534.16 rebounds and nine assists. And we're coming in again with movement in the lines.
04:00His number is 28.5 that I got it at earlier. You're now able to get it at 27.5, and I will
04:06take Giannis higher than the 27.5 or 28.5 points on the board. He's averaging 31.6 points in five
04:14games versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, and I don't think this game is any different either. He's gone
04:20higher than 28.5 points in three of his last four games and six of his last seven. And then
04:25Donovan Mitchell's gone higher than 25.5 points in the Bucks versus the Bucks in three of the last
04:31four and seven of the last nine. So, we're going to see both of these players come out nice and
04:36strong, Scott. Donovan Mitchell higher than 25.5, Giannis higher than 28.5.
