00:00That's a 9.30 start.
00:01It's the Lakers and the Timberwolves from Minnesota tonight.
00:04If we look at the opening line, the Minnesota Timberwolves at the FanDuel Sportsbook were a minus 2.5 point favorite.
00:10That line now sits at 3 at the FanDuel Sportsbook.
00:13Other books, Joe, as high as 3.5.
00:16Just like playoff basketball.
00:18Open up at a 2.08 total.
00:20That has now dropped to 2.05 and a half at the FanDuel Sportsbook and just about every other outlet.
00:26Let's start there with the price points of the side and the total.
00:29Any thoughts on those opening lines as we head into the game tonight?
00:34Yeah, listen, I think advantage Timberwolves.
00:38And I think anything other than looking at the under would be crazy in this game here, Donnie.
00:45We know both of these teams are playing at one of the slowest paces so far in the playoffs.
00:53Both teams have one of the lowest effective shooting percentages as well thus far in the playoffs.
01:00But listen, there's nothing easy going to be given to LeBron James or Luka.
01:06Luka knows how difficult this is going to be.
01:08The question to me is really whether or not the Lakers can come up with enough defense in order to give themselves an opportunity to win this game late.
01:19But when you look at it, I mean, unders, the Wolves at home have gone under in seven of their last eight games.
01:26They've got a ton of bodies they can throw at Luka and the Lakers, by the way, under in five of their last seven games.
01:33Yeah, I think the first one to 100 and 101 wins this game.
