00:00Let's flip it over to the NBA action, the Detroit Pistons, and you might think this is a football
00:04line, minus 14.5 points against the Philadelphia 76ers. You might say, why is it so high? I don't
00:10know. Kelly Oubre now, he's down with an injury. It feels like, what is it, just VJ Edgecombe and
00:15nobody else in a bunch of G-Leaguers? 14.5s to 15.5s in the marketplace showing a total of
00:22221.5.
00:23The Sixers, limping is not the word, amputated tonight, taking on the Detroit Pistons. What's
00:29your spread line? Well, they've been like that for the last, what, week, Donnie? I mean,
00:33it's not being good, but they, you know, they, listen, they dropped a whole lot of points the
00:36other night. They did, too. And the Pistons, listen, the Pistons haven't exactly been blowing
00:41teams out here. That's not usually their MO. Yeah, sure, they'll win the game. Are they going to win
00:47it by, what, 15.5, 16 points? I have my doubts. I would likely look at the over, though, Donnie,
00:54at this one at 219.5, 220.5, somewhere in that ballpark. Sixers have shown, listen,
01:00Pistons could very well walk into this game. No, nobody is playing and be like, whatever,
01:04let's just, not a lot of defense here, a lot of chucking up threes. Let's see if we can get
01:09more
01:10points than less points here. Let's go back to the trust the process years. Like, I'd never had,
01:14like, optimism was awesome. Like, we would just tank for three or four years and get as many draft
01:18picks and the ping pong balls. That was our Super Bowl night that we cheered on. Now you just watch
01:23a
01:23bunch of veterans out there who never play. And now there's talk in the city of Philadelphia
01:27that the Sixers just might tank out the rest of the season, make the play, and make sure they lose
01:31in the first round to try to get their pick back from OKC, which is a top four protected pick.
01:35Incredible stuff here in that Sixers season that we thought might have had some promise. No promise
01:40at all. How about the Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat? What's BAM going to do for an encore?
01:45Well, they're favored by six points here in a total of 231.5. Can we go for 85 in this
01:50game,
01:50Joe? What's your spread line tonight? Well, I doubt that very much. I doubt Milwaukee is going
01:56to send them to the line 43 times in this one here. But listen, Miami has got it rolling right
02:02now, and they are at home. This Bucks team has been going through it. We know Giannis doesn't
02:08look 100% to me at all. Porter Jr., you know, has been, you know, is he playing? Is he
02:14not playing?
02:15Is he hurt? Is he not hurt? The Bucks are holding on by a thread, but you got to like
02:19the Heat's
02:19chances at home to follow up that BAM historical night there with another win at home for the
02:26Miami Heat. By the way, Joe, you got a couple bangers tonight, too. Nine o'clock start, Denver
02:31Nuggets and the San Antonio Spurs. That line now sits at six as a favor for the Spurs. And then
02:35the Boston Celtics taking on OKC. Could that be a finals preview with a six and a half point spread
02:42here for OKC? You ever have extra money laying around? You ever go to an auction and be like,
02:46hey, you know what? Let me go buy that truck there. What's it running? $1,500. Do I get
02:49$1,600? How about $1,725? Sold to the man in front, Joe. I've never been to an auction where
02:56a jersey is on sale. I'm like, hey, what is that? Like, $100, $200? How about this one?
03:01Scottie Pippen's flu game jersey, which you remember where he hugged Michael Jordan,
03:06helped his personal memorabilia fetch $6.2 million at the Sotheby's auction here. So that was included
03:13here. Would you like to wear, Joe, the flu game Scottie Pippen jersey or the flu game Jordan jersey?
03:18Did Jordan ever sell his flu game jersey? What's that going for today?
03:21Yeah, well, let's just hope you wash them at some point here because nobody wants their germs.
03:28$6.2 million is a monster number for what? Game five, I think it was, of the 1997 NBA Finals.
03:38Yes. My goodness. That is kind of crazy, Donnie, when you think about it here. You got $6 million
03:44laying around that you can buy a jersey? Do you have a no? Okay. Yeah, that's kind of interesting
03:51to me. Yeah, it was memorabilia. Now, let me ask you this question, too. I always find this interesting
03:55because we don't pocket watch or count other people's money. And yes, you make investments and
03:59you made a ton of money while you're playing in the 90s and early 2000s. We don't make the money
04:03anymore. I always find it interesting, like, who's selling the actual products at this point?
04:07Because you see it quite a bit, like, hey, just won the Super Bowl five years ago. My
04:10ring's up for sale, $375,000. Because honestly, memorabilia means different things to different
04:16people. Like, some people, including, like, Scotty Pitt, I'm like, yeah, I got jerseys
04:19and stuff. I can make $8 million or so on this if I sell it. It doesn't mean that much
04:22to
04:23me. When other people, like, you'll never, I'll hand these jerseys down to the generation,
04:27Joe. How would you, like, what would you do, Joe? Famous jersey you have, it's yours.
04:31Do you sell it? Do you let it go? Or is there a price point that you just can't pass
04:34it?
04:34I'm like, that much? Yeah, I'll sell it. Well, everybody's got a price point, Donnie.
04:39Everything is for sale, depending on what's going on here. So, listen, I don't blame them. I mean,
04:44there's been a lot of these. I mean, Larry Bird, Dream Team jerseys. You had Jordan's jersey.
04:51I mean, it's big business, the memorabilia market. My question is, it only goes up in value,
04:58right? The older it gets, the only thing that goes. So, it's not the worst investment in the
05:03world. Usually, barring anything crazy, those jerseys are going to be worth even more than that
05:09in the next decade or beyond. No, you're right about that. It's almost like buying real estate
05:14on the water somewhere. You can't create any more of it here. Like, how many times we see,
05:17like, those Hannes Wagner cards? Like, hey, back in 1988, it sold for 100 grand, and now it's up to,
05:21like, $10 million. Like, it seems like, oh, I'm not going to pay $10 million. What if I told you
05:26in
05:26five years, it's worth $15 million? Okay, $10 million. Great deal at this point right now.
05:30Just the way it is, man. They're not going to make any more flu jerseys, put it that way.
05:34Kelly Oubre, he's had at least two weeks for the Philadelphia 76ers, and it feels like everybody
05:38is out two to three more weeks for the Sixers here, as they are just the walking wounded as
05:43they finish the rest of the season. Tough times in Philadelphia. Tank. Let's go back to the tank
05:47here, Joe. I'm ready for it. I am. Is Paul George ever coming back? He's hanging out.
05:53When? I mean, what was it? Just 20? It was 20 games? 20-something-odd games, right, I think?
05:5925 games, maybe? I think it might have been.
06:01Was it 25? I mean, he should be eligible to come back here over the next week or so,
06:06shouldn't he, Donnie? I mean, that was, it feels like that was forever ago.
06:10Now, what's up with these new MRI machines? Because Steph Curry's going to miss another 10
06:13days with his knee, stretching his absence to five games and a total of 20 consecutive.
06:18How about that? Like, what is the deal? Should we shorten? Maybe Steve Kerr is right, Joe.
06:22Let's make it a 10-game season so these guys can play.
06:26Well, he's already missed, what, 15 straight? Yeah.
06:29And now he's going to miss at least another 10. Okay, things are, you think,
06:33you think they're packing it in there for Golden State? What do you think?
06:37Maybe poor Zingas can play enough games there to help him get over the finish line,
06:42but I doubt that very much.
06:44I'll tell you who was playing yesterday. Late night, if you watch, Kawhi Leonard,
06:48the claw strikes for 45 points and a blowout over the Timberwolves, Joe. What do we make of that?
06:56Yeah, like I've been saying, this is a very dangerous Clippers team with a healthy and
07:02motivated Kawhi Leonard. And look at what he's got around him. Mithoran and Darius Garland are just
07:08balling out right now. They are no longer the under team like they were with Harden.
07:13This is strictly an over team here moving forward, Donnie.
07:18Now, here's where the Bucs have their most fun, Joe. We love stuff like this because when the
07:22public sees like last week, oh, the 49ers won 49 to 7 over the previous opponent. Wait,
07:28the Niners are getting six points this week? Sign me up here. Well, we're going to do it again in
07:32the NDA edition tonight, Joe, because we take a look at the Bucs playing the Heat. You just saw
07:37Bam Adebayo score 83 points in NDA game. So what are you thinking? His over under tonight,
07:42Joe, should be 39 and a half, right? Somewhere in that range. No, it's not. It's 22 and a half.
07:47Joe, he scored 83. His points prop is 22 and a half. Are they teasing us on this one?
07:54Yeah. Well, and again, with the, it all depends. It's not a great matchup for Bam Adebayo in this
08:02one. So I think that's why it's going to be tampered down. I will say this. He has been,
08:07he's given Giannis fits over, uh, over his career. So he might be a little bit more focused on defense
08:14than he is on offense at this one. After all, there are some guys on this Bucs team that can
08:19score. So I think the focus isn't going to be on him scoring as much as it is, uh, you
08:25know,
08:25handling Giannis tonight defensively. Talking about focus, Joe, get the binoculars out,
08:30look all the way to the end of May and early June. Could we be getting a preview tonight? The
08:34Boston
08:35Celtics taking on the Oklahoma city thunder ninus six and a half. Now as a favorite here for OKC up
08:43against Boston, great game tonight, but look at that total, Joe, a playoff total to 16 and a half.
08:50Yeah, it's got, it might be the only team OKC could play where the public isn't backing them.
08:56They're backing the Celtics, uh, right now, because it looks like tickets and money all
09:01on Boston here getting the points, but don't be shocked. Uh, if it starts going the other way
09:08here, cause I do believe, OKC will have everyone ready to go. Yeah. I mean, Jen Holmgren's not on
09:14the injury report here tonight. They, they are going to treat this game like it might as well be game
09:20six or seven of the NBA finals here. And Jalen Brown, how about you don't get thrown out of this
09:25game early? How about that? Let's go with that one. Yeah. Yeah. No, no double techs here. Nuggets
09:30on the road here to take on the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs now favored by six points here, Joe.
09:36What's your thoughts tonight? Nuggets in the Spurs, Wendy style. Boy, I tell you, Denver, uh, just locked
09:42down Houston last night, but now they're on the second of a back to back with travel here. Yeah. Are
09:48we
09:49stepping in front of that San Antonio train? Not me. Nope. Uh, uh, I'll lay it with them here tonight.
09:55Total up to two 38 and a half points are expected tonight. How about this? We're going to keep it
10:00in
10:00Miami tonight. Cause I'm going to the association. The Milwaukee bucks are in town to take on the
10:05Miami heat. This line opened up at a six and a half price point here, despite only 30% of
10:09the tickets
10:10still coming in on those Milwaukee bucks. Bam out of bottom, the boys, where'd they celebrate club
10:14live? Were they out all night in Miami? And also more importantly, how many bottles of
10:18ace of spades as they drink on that 83 point effort? They're going to be exhausted for this
10:23game, which means bucks don't actually have to win. Joe just have to keep it close. And as I always
10:28like to say, nobody wants to bet the bucks tonight, Joe, but your boy DRS, he wants to bet the
10:33bucks
10:33tonight. And we're taking those bucks at six and a half down on South beach. What do you think about
10:37that? Yeah. And there's still some question marks about who's playing for Miami and Tyler hero is on
10:44that injury report, which I can tell you, Donnie, if that's the case, this grab that six and a half
10:50while you can, because it might very well be down to four or three and a half by the time
10:55this game
10:55tips. If anybody else is out for Miami and let's flip it over to the association tonight, Philadelphia
11:0076 is going to take on the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are trading right now to win this game,
11:05Joe 88% chance Philadelphia at 12%. Why? We don't even know who's playing for the Philadelphia 76%,
11:12which includes Kelly Oubre who got a mysterious MRI puts him out a couple more weeks, but the
11:17favorite in this game, Joe 15 and a half points for the Pistons currently trading at 49% as a
11:24chance.
11:25I don't like laying this number with the Pistons Donnie in any way, shape or form, but I mean,
11:33Philadelphia is coming off a game against Memphis where they dropped almost 140 points, right? So I,
11:39I felt that this game, the total was a little low. We know kid Cunningham and company is going to
11:45get
11:45theirs. They just dropped 138 on Brooklyn here. So we know they're going to be able to get their
11:51points. I still think Philadelphia will be able to score in this one. I think there's two 20 and a
11:57half number way too low for me. I think the over very, very much a solid play in this one.
12:05How about this one? You want a little plus money in your pocket as Joe thinks that the Philadelphia
12:0976ers should be able to score and say, well, who might be doing that scoring? How about VJ Edgecombe,
12:12Joe? I used the slider and put it at 20 plus points tonight. How about a hundred dollar investment
12:16pays back to 18 for just 20 points from a guy who probably is going to get at least 20
12:21shots off
12:22tonight. Use your noggins people. Let's see if we can make some of this money here. Miami taking on
12:27Milwaukee. We just talked about this game. I told you, I like Milwaukee to cover the line because
12:32everybody's lining up on those Miami heat tickets here. And by the way, Miami to win this game
12:37trading currently at a 69% chance. Milwaukee at a 31% clip here. Spread here, 50% trading at
12:45six and a
12:46half points. Exactly where it sits here, Joe. Down on South Beach tonight, Bucs taking on the heat.
12:52Well, let's just look at the last four games of Miami, shall we? They scored 126, 128, 121,
12:59and 150 while Milwaukee has given up 129, 130. And, uh, and they held Utah amazingly to under a hundred
13:09points. The bottom line to me is I am going Miami team total up and over here. Milwaukee is not
13:16going
13:16to stop this offense of Miami, uh, defensively and likely the Bucs are going to get their, uh,
13:22their share of points in this one too. So nothing but overs, uh, team totals and full game for me.
13:28All right, Joe, I'm on the Kalshi marketplace right now. And you know, the focal point tonight,
13:33bam out of bio last game, we watched him was 83 points. Say what you want. 83 is 83. A
13:38little bit
13:38of, you know, high jinx late in that fourth quarter, fouling this direction, try to get him
13:42extra points, but he got to 83. The slider only goes up Joe to 35 plus points tonight for bam
13:48out of
13:49bio. And we also asked earlier in the early line, 22 and a half is his points prop total. So
13:54if you
13:54bump it up, let's just say two touchdowns, which 35 off of 83, doesn't sound that bad.
13:59A hundred dollar investment, Joe pays back $1,112. So there's two thought processes, right?
14:06They're setting you up. Bam's going to get 17 points tonight. Or does he go, Oh, I saw a lot
14:11of people saying, making some comments where I didn't get this officially. Well, let me go
14:15out tonight and show you not for 80 again, but maybe pops a 40 spot Joe to sort of back
14:20that up.
14:20And you could put a decent amount of money in your pocket here.
14:25I listened. It's interesting. He's feeling it right now. He is absolutely feeling it.
14:31But I tend to think if you're going to do anything with bam, look for points and rebounds,
14:35whatever his points and rebounds prop, whatever that number might be, he's going to get his share
14:41of the boards. He's also got to guard Giannis.
