00:00 Now, for those people who were thinking about backing Milwaukee tonight over on the FanDuel Sportsbook,
00:05 if they didn't pay attention to earlier in the week, they're going to be surprised and probably jump all over this
00:10 by taking Milwaukee plus four and a half points tonight at Golden State.
00:13 But if FanDuel knows something, it seems to indicate here that Giannis may miss tonight's game.
00:19 He left Monday's game against the Clippers due to left Achilles tendonitis.
00:23 It's been bothering him.
00:25 I believe, Gilbert, he's listed as questionable for the game,
00:28 but the point spread here tells me he's not going to play in this game tonight.
00:32 This doesn't even look like a hedge here at all from FanDuel.
00:35 I suppose if he did, what's he worth?
00:37 Two and a half points, two points, somewhere along those lines, probably Warriors minus two.
00:41 But odds are telling me tonight that come, what, five, six o'clock Eastern,
00:46 you're probably going to see Warriors minus six or seven.
00:49 It certainly would indicate that Giannis isn't going to go tonight.
00:53 And I understand taking the cautious approach because winning on a Wednesday night in San Francisco
00:58 was not important in the grand scheme of things for this Bucs team.
01:02 But also, we just saw this Bucs team beat the Clippers without Giannis.
01:06 Granted, it was a home game.
01:08 They rallied in that game behind their home crowd.
01:11 And Damian Lillard had an excellent game, a 40-point performance.
01:14 Can he replicate that in San Francisco?
01:17 He is a Bay Area native, and he and Steph Curry tend to have some duels
01:21 when they go against one another.
01:23 So I'm expecting at least a good duel between the two point guards.
01:26 But the Warriors have been playing really good basketball lately.
01:29 They'll get Andrew Wiggins back. He missed the last four games.
01:32 They went 3-1 on their road trip.
01:34 It seemed like they punted that last game in Boston.
01:36 But I think being back home will rejuvenate this Warriors team,
01:40 especially given how well they've been playing lately.
01:42 They're pretty much at full strength for the first time in a few months.
01:45 So it makes sense that Golden State would be the favorite like this.
01:49 And it also makes sense that Milwaukee might continue to stay cautious with Giannis.
