00:00And then, you know, today, for example, the Rockets are taking on the Lakers and the Rockets
00:07are six and a half point favorites in Vegas.
00:10You know, the totals are a lot lower here.
00:11Okay.
00:12So that makes some sense here because I understand the talent isn't going to be the same as it
00:15is in the NBA.
00:16You can't have totals of 200.
00:18So feel free, Gilbert, to tell me why the Rockets are six and a half point favorites
00:22and potentially if there's any side to take today, you know, I mentioned the Lakers showing
00:27they played in the California Classic Summer League in San Francisco and they went 0-3.
00:32They had some good moments, but also a lot of down moments as well.
00:36So I'm assuming that based on that and the Rockets having a pretty talented roster with
00:40number three overall pick Reed Shepard and also Cam Whitmore actually going out there
00:44who's had impactful moments on the actual NBA stage, that gives them a little bit of
00:49an edge.
00:50This is a primetime matchup.
00:51And as we know, Lakers games in Las Vegas are massive events.
00:55And this is this is Bronny James debut.
00:57So there's going to be a lot of attention and a lot of eyes on that Lakers team.
01:00Maybe they'll shine under the bright light.
01:03Maybe they'll shy away from it.
01:04So I trust the Rockets a little more in this one just because they have a few more veterans
01:08who have done more than actual NBA games than the Lakers do.
01:11All right, that's fair.
01:12Now there are some other props that you can bet on today in this in this summer league
01:16game and to score 10 plus points.
01:19There's a couple of bets that you really can't make here.
01:22I guess Dalton connect and that's not a bettable prop.
01:25Neither is Reed Shepard to be honest with you with with Houston.
01:28So the only thing I guess to hit on here, not that I want to spend 10 minutes with you
01:32on Bronny James, but I guess that's where we are.
01:34He's plus 225 to score 10 plus points.
01:39He did not average 10 plus points at USC.
01:43Can he get to 10 today?
01:46That's a tough one, Craig.
01:47He's actually hasn't even combined for 10 points just yet in the summer league games.
01:52That's not even to give him a hard time.
01:53He was very aggressive in his summer league debut looking for his own shot, but just really
01:57hasn't found his way.
01:58And I think he's looking to kind of find his spot in this.
02:01It's kind of a strange balance between needing to create for himself and play off of others.
02:05It's hard to see a way that he gets to 10 points today unless he gets hot from beyond
02:10the arc.
02:11And that would very much be a storybook way for his summer league debut to go in Las Vegas.
02:16So unless he can find a way to hit three or four three pointers, I don't really see that
02:21happening.
02:22Okay.
02:23Now, as far as three points made, that's our next opportunity here.
02:26As you see there, Shepard is minus 102.
02:30Kinect is plus 174.
02:33So you novices out there, if Kinect hits three plus threes and you bet 100, you win 174.
02:40Some people don't understand odds.
02:41So there's that breakdown.
02:43And man, five and a half to one for Bronny James.
02:46Can Bronny hit three?
02:47We can all go home happy.
02:50That would be definitely something that would make everyone happy.
02:52I do like Dalton Kinect there.
02:53He looked really good on their most recent summer league game.
02:56I think he's kind of settling into his own as a reason that he was the SEC player of
03:01the year.
03:02And he is a guy who benefits from being a five-year guy in college.
03:05So he's a little more developed, a little more mature than a lot of the guys he's going
03:08to be playing against tonight.
03:09So if he gets going, I could see him having a good night from beyond the arc.
