00:00Celtics and the Knicks in part in part because this has probably been circled on the calendar
00:06for a while for Jason Tatum this is the return the triumphant return to Madison Square Garden
00:12where he was last seen at MSG writhing around on the court in pain last May rupturing the Achilles
00:18now a first opportunity to go back and what could also be a playoff preview Boston in this one four
00:23and a half point dog with some in question in terms of the injury report I'm gonna play we
00:29don't know about Derek White or Jalen Brown though so what are you expecting here in this one a low
00:34point total at that of 216 and a half well first of all good to see you bud thanks for
00:39having me on the
00:40show on this beautiful Thursday afternoon we just talking a little bit about the masters that are
00:45just rocking and rolling got golf on the tv you got basically playoff basketball every single day what
00:49a time to be alive in the sports world but glad to be with you guys right here on sports
00:53grid um
00:53yeah I'm excited about this game there's a bunch of big time matchups tonight in the NBA none bigger
00:58than like you said in the garden in Madison Square Garden you know and I tried to think about a
01:03way
01:03that I wanted to lean away from the Jason Tatum angle and the narrative associated to it that you
01:07talked about but I'm gonna go straight to it man I'm taking Jason Tatum I took his PRA line at
01:1239 and a
01:12half I knew that you would love that as a Celtics fan my other Celtics brothers at the betting news
01:17network are also going to love this play um but this also kind of leans into the fact of the
01:21Celtics have
01:21an opportunity to lock in that two seed right now if they get the job done against the Knicks kind
01:25of
01:25nipping at their heels in the Eastern Conference standings we're going down the stretch here with
01:28a couple games left in the regular season but again like you mentioned too you know Jalen Brown
01:33possibly possibly no Derek White so maybe one of those guys ends up sitting which I think is why
01:38the line is sitting where it's at as a four and a half point favorite for the Knicks fortunately for
01:42your Celtics Adam I feel a little bit like the Knicks might get the job done tonight in the garden
01:45the line's making me lean that direction this game does mean a skosh more for the Knicks than it does
01:49the Celtics but I don't want to back the Knicks basically with what the Celtics have on the line
01:56as well and what Jason Tatum has on the line as well like you mentioned so he's been fantastic since
02:00returning from that Achilles injury he was awesome the last time he was in the garden like you said
02:04until it ended with devastation with that Achilles tear and I think that he's had this one circled for
02:08quite a long time a guy that loves narratives and I think he's going to come into the garden tonight
02:12and remind everybody that Zero is back
