00:00
Yeah, I'm gonna go to the third score especially with Bobby Portis being out for suspension and that's Kyle Kuzma to go higher than
00:06
Twelve and a half points Kyle Kuzma has gone
00:09
Lower than this his previous three games, but with higher three to previous four and then you look at the fact that
00:15
Kuz
00:17
Oklahoma City second leg of a back-to-back. Yeah, maybe where he likes Kyle Kuzma higher than twelve and a half point
00:24
Kyle Kuzma such an interesting addition for
00:27
Milwaukee they
00:29
Made her a risky move albeit to move on from Chris Middleton
00:33
who's been a part of this core for so long and I think to do it for someone like Kuzma is
00:38
What really made that risky with respect to Kyle Kuzma? This is not
00:42
The most pedigree player in the league. Yes, he be a championship many years ago with the LA Lakers
00:48
but he's been playing with the Washington Wizards now or you know for five seasons and
00:55
Kuzma is
00:57
Someone who struggles a little bit with deficiency. He can rebound the basketball
01:00
It I don't know if it's the move that is gonna be able to put Milwaukee
01:06
Over the top and he is struggling right now
01:08
I think you are getting perhaps a nice little by low spot there on sports million pick him a guy
01:14
I'm interested in is Chet Holmgren. We still are going to see Jalen Williams out for this game who has I
01:22
don't know if he's passed Chet as the
01:26
Second most important Thunder, but I know that he is the second most consistent
01:30
Oklahoma City Thunder certainly on the year averaging 21 points per game. Well Chet Holmgren who?
01:37
Doesn't play every night doesn't play back-to-back
01:39
But his last outing came up against the defending champion, Boston Celtics
01:44
And he scored 23 points chipped in 15 rebounds as well 8 of 14 from the field 3 of 6 from 3
01:51
I'm taking him higher
01:52
And then 15 and a half points if Oklahoma City is gonna cross the finish line if Oklahoma City is going to be
01:59
the best versions of
02:01
themselves, it's where Chet Holmgren is a force is a consistent force and I think that
02:08
Holmgren knows and steps up for big games and look he's not the same class as Giannis
02:13
But those are the kind of guys right that Chet needs to take that matchup and he needs to take it head-on, right?
02:18
Perhaps try and extend the floor a little bit more tonight going up against the guy like Giannis coaching a couple of extra three-point shots
02:24
So I'm going higher for Chet Holmgren at 15 and a half points
02:28
And when you when you look at Chet someone that could score inside now, right?
02:32
You start looking at the a second leg of a back-to-back for Oklahoma City
02:36
But you look at well, how are you gonna get him defended? Yeah, right
02:41
Obviously, no Bobby Portis Brook Lopez's Center
02:44
Obviously then you go to the fourth spot in regards to Giannis, but you could see Giannis playing a little big boy ball
02:50
Which means you couldn't get matchable Kuzma
02:52
Well, I'm taking to go over his points
02:54
But also is it a strongest defender on the other side of the ball?
02:57
So you got to look at how they match up with each other and how they guard each other
03:01
But you're right if this Oklahoma City team is gonna be the best version of themselves and they got to start to push forward
03:06
Chet Holmgren
03:08
It's got to be a huge piece as a guy that can shoot the three
03:12
Playing a pick-and-roll pick-and-pop kind of player
03:14
Sneaky transition and attack the O boards like to pick up object going higher that his points prop another thing to keep your eyes on
03:22
With Oklahoma City is their rotations in that game against Boston out of nowhere
03:28
They went with Isaiah Hartenstein to the bench. Could they make that same decision tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks?
03:35
Do they believe that Milwaukee perhaps?
03:38
Okay with Brooke Lopez and Janice in the starting lineup we want our
03:41
Double bigs available. It becomes very interesting. I think Mark Dagnall the reigning coach of the year in
03:47
The NBA is trying to get a feel for everything with his team Hartenstein tonight
03:54
Ten and a half points higher lower nine and a half rebounds coach
03:59
Yeah
03:59
It could be a spot where you can look at a double-double
04:01
The only problem you were but Hartenstein is you get big minutes out of Brooke Lopez brings him outside for takeaway rebounds
