Transcript

00:00Welcome to the Daily Boost. I'm Lucy Burge of the BetMGM Network and I am joined by Matt

00:07Horner and we have a pre-built SGP for all of you today. This is on the NBA and it is

00:12on the Lakers. To cover minus 9.5, Luka to score 35 or more points and LeBron to score

00:2025 or more points and this all together is plus 725 at BetMGM. I love this. As I tweeted

00:29out this morning, I think it will be a Celtics-Lakers finals, plus 1400. You can get that at BetMGM.

00:34I said this a couple weeks ago on, I think it was Daily Tip or Send It In or something.

00:40And I said Celtics-Lakers finals and there were doubts. People were doubting this because

00:44it was before the second half and people were like, I don't know if the Lakers have what

00:47it takes to get to the finals. Now they are being taken more seriously because everything

00:52is clicking now. And I think the other night was big for Luka, for the Lakers, clicking

00:56wise. LeBron's foot not an issue. So tonight, I think, as a subset of that, I like this

01:02SGP very much. There you go. Mavericks, they're taking on the Lakers and the Lakers minus

01:099.5. I mean, that is the spread. So there's no real advantage you're getting here. The

01:13spread's 9.5. You take a look at the points. Donchus to score 35 plus. Since coming to

01:20the Lakers, he's averaging 19 points per game. So obviously way below this. But as you said,

01:25this could be a very prime spot for him to go off. And we know he can. I mean, for the

01:29season, this is including when he was with the Mavericks, of course, and he's going to

01:32want the revenge as everybody's going to be playing into the revenge angle, of course.

01:36He's averaging 26.7. So, you know, pretty close, you know, getting up there. We know

01:41he could score 35 plus points. And then LeBron to get 25 plus. He's averaging 24.7. So again,

01:48basically right on par. So honestly, with this, you're just betting on the Lakers to

01:52cover the regular spread. You're betting on LeBron to get his average points. And you're

01:58betting on Luka to have a revenge game against his former team, the Dallas Mavericks, in

02:03Los Angeles. So if you love the Luka revenge narrative plus 725, I mean, that's basically

02:09what you need here. So yeah, I don't mind that at all. If you want to put like a quarter

02:13unit on it, if you think he gets some revenge tonight against the Mavs.

02:17Get in on this SGP plus 725 at bet MGM and head to odyssey.com slash betting for everything

02:34you have all the information. And of course, follow us on Twitter at sharp underscore side

02:39underscore and at Lucille Burge favorite bets for today. Sticking with the NBA. I am taking

02:45the Celtics minus ten and a half. They are playing the Raptors. They have been covering

02:50a lot lately. They've covered their last five and they've won their last five as well. They've

02:55also covered their last four on the road and the Raptors have not covered in two of their last

02:59three. And they have only covered once in their last four as the underdog. They have only covered

03:04once in their last three Celtics have covered their last five is the favorite. So I like the

03:08Celtics to cover this double digit spread here, minus ten and a half against the Raptors.

03:13What's it like having a good basketball team? Oh, it's amazing, Matt. It's the best.

03:18Yes, especially one that wins the finals. It's always fun because there's a path. There's always

03:23a path. There's always an upside. And if I was a Bulls fan, I would be a little sad. Yeah.

03:30Yeah. Big Bulls fan is a giant stinker. I'm an Illinois basketball fan and we just got obliterated

03:36by Duke the other night. So watching basketball hasn't been the greatest thing for me recently.

03:42But tonight, of course, we're going back to college basketball. I'm taking Missouri tonight,

03:47minus thirteen and a half. It's a gigantic spread, obviously. They're at home here,

03:53but this is just your prototypical spot for both of these teams. So they're facing South Carolina.

03:59South Carolina coming off that huge upset win against Texas. They dominated them,

04:04eighty four to sixty nine in that game. And then Missouri, on the other hand,

04:08they're coming off of that upset loss to Arkansas. Arkansas set them ninety two to eighty

04:15five. Now they're back home here. South Carolina off a huge upset win, has to go on the road to

04:20Missouri, a ranked team at number fourteen. I think this spread is massive for a reason.

04:26Again, it's just a prototypical spot where you're backing a team that's coming off a upset loss

04:31and you're fading a team coming off a huge win. So give me Missouri here, minus thirteen and a

04:36half tonight against South Carolina. Very nice. Get in on our bets and this S.G.P. plus seven
