00:03 But at Madison Square Garden, a new era begins for the Clippers.
00:08 James Harden expected to make his LA debut tonight on the road at MSG.
00:13 What a welcome for the beard in a Clippers uniform to debut
00:18 at the world's most famous arena, the New York Knicks, hosting the Clippers.
00:22 Right now LA, Donnie, a very slight one and a half point underdog.
00:27 Updated line on FanDuel minus 188 on that money line, the over understands at 224.
00:33 Donnie, he's not a system player, he is a system.
00:36 So what do you expect out of the system in a new organization tonight in New York?
00:42 >> Well, the system is always programmed to be very good in the regular season and
00:45 terrible in the playoffs and not win anything.
00:47 So therefore, this is a regular season ball game.
00:50 The system will be just fine in New York City.
00:52 And quite frankly, it's a great stage to sort of debut here.
00:55 Because you're right, the Clippers are superstar studded here across that lineup.
00:59 Look at the starting lineup here, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Paul George,
01:02 Kawhi Leonard, Avika Zubach.
01:04 That should be enough to get it done.
01:05 But also, how are we gonna acquiesce, as we like to say, Ben, on the court?
01:09 How is it going to figure out?
01:10 Because if you are starting Westbrook and Harden, both of those basketball players
01:14 want the basketball in their hands to make things happen.
01:17 Is it too many mouths to feed here?
01:19 And how's it gonna go off night number one?
01:21 Typically, we see a little bit of struggle to start.
01:23 But I'm actually excited to see the Clippers on the court.
01:26 And I see that short price here on the Clippers.
01:28 I'm willing to take that there.
01:29 There's a lot of excitement from that basketball team.
01:31 And if we're just looking at star power, the Clippers have that tonight in the garden.
01:36 >> Right now, the Knicks are struggling as well, DRS.
01:38 They have lost two straight games.
01:40 The Clippers dropped their most recent game against the Lakers.
01:43 That was a while ago, though.
01:45 The Clippers have had some off time here, maybe some practice time on the floor for
01:49 James Harden to get in to the rotation tonight.
01:52 I would look out for an assist prop if it is posted on the Beard,
01:56 third most in the NBA a year ago.
01:58 The third most assist, that is, in the association in 2022, 23.
02:04 No props out just yet, though, for James Harden's debut.
02:09 Donnie, for the New York Knicks, it has been a struggle.
02:13 They played Cleveland a couple of nights ago.
02:16 Then they played Milwaukee in the in-season tournament.
02:19 And that debut on Friday night.
