00:00All right. So Cavs Knicks tonight. Cavs are the favorites to win the East. They're one and a half point favorites tonight in New York. Injuries are part of the story as well. Total of 228 and a half. But if the Cavs are supposed to be a big favorite to win the East, you know, why only a point and a half favorite? I guess the Knicks are supposed to be just as good this year.
00:20Yeah, people expect that from the Knicks. These are your two favorites to win the East. But I think in terms of this game, I think the Knicks would be favored at home if we knew that they were going to have Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart there who are both going to be out for this game. So those are the two of the Knicks best rebounders and where the Knicks have killed the Cavs in their matchups with them have been on the glass, although the Knicks did not do a good job against the Cavs at all last year. However, I think the Knicks are deeper this year. They're a better team than they should be. So this is an interesting game.
00:49The Cavs also will not have DeAndre Hunter. So that's also a loss for them here too. I think the Knicks without Mitchell Robinson is going to be very interesting. They're likely to start Aria Hupporty. We do not know that yet, but we will see how that goes if they'll keep their double big lineup to go against the Cavs double big lineup. This to me, I think the line reflects what it is. This is a pick them game. This might come down to the play of the backcourts. What does Jalen Brunson and Mikkel Bridges? How do they do against Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland? I think that can go a lot.
01:19I don't really love betting this game because like I said, it's a pick them. Maybe you want to back the Knicks coming out with some good energy at home, a big game for Jalen Brunson. I could see that, but this is a really tough game because of the injuries. I'd be inclined to take the Knicks. If you really like the Knicks, get the money line. You're getting just a bit over even money there.
01:37But could I see the Cavs winning this game? Sure. I could, I could absolutely see that too. What I would say to look at if I had a prop for this game, Jordan Clarkson, I think could be a spark guard off this, of this team. His line is around 11 points, but I'm going to tell people actually look at his assist. Jordan Clarkson is a bit of an underrated playmaker. Then we see the line you're seeing for him is about two and a half. I'd go over that.
02:07I'd go over two and a half assists in this one.
