00:00Let's get to the action tonight.
00:01The Atlanta Hawks at home, Joe, to face the New York Knicks.
00:04This series is tied as one Atlanta.
00:06Now the home team, overnight lines and opening lines showed the Knicks
00:10as a very short favorite, Joe, minus one to minus one and a half.
00:13Now some outlets are actually showing a one and a half point favorite
00:16towards those Atlanta Hawks, a low total of 216 and a half.
00:21New York goes down to the big A.
00:23Time for game three, Joe.
00:24Give me a nice little reaction on a spread line here.
00:27Well, it's, you know, all of a sudden the Knicks, who have led
00:31and controlled most of this series outside of one quarter,
00:36and that being the fourth quarter of the last game,
00:39have now all of a sudden feels like could be going off as a road dog here.
00:45Now listen, they've had their problems on the road this year.
00:47They were much better at home than they were on the road.
00:50But the problem is it's the playoffs.
00:53And we're still dealing with a very inexperienced Atlanta Hawks team.
00:58And, you know, this series to me, Donnie, always had zigzag written all over it.
01:03Bouncing back and forth because this feels like what's going to happen.
01:07But ultimately, experience matters.
01:09And experience matters here with the Knicks.
01:12I don't think it should be a pick-em price, which is kind of where it's at.
01:16I do think that the over is, once again, worth taking a look at here,
01:21even though the Knicks only scored 15 in the fourth to keep it under.
01:24But I do think maybe points are on their way in this game here tonight.
01:29Could be here.
01:30Low total here.
01:31Let's go north to the sixth.
01:32We've got the Cleveland Cavaliers going to take on the Toronto Raptors tonight.
01:36Overnight lines, minus threes, minus two and a half,
01:38depending on where you're shopping at the total.
01:40Now listen, at 220 and a half,
01:42the Cavaliers on the road to take care of the Raptors,
01:45or can the Raptors get some revenge tonight?
01:47Joe, give me a spread line here.
01:49A lot of tickets and money on the Cleveland side here,
01:54but opened up two and a half, three, Donnie.
01:56And, yeah, maybe a rogue three and a half here or there.
02:00But for the most part, for all those tickets and the amount of bets coming on Cleveland
02:04and this line really isn't moving all that much,
02:07I've got to tell you that there is some influential money coming in on the Raptors here,
02:14keeping this thing right around a bucket.
02:17And, listen, you're going to find out everything you need to know about this Raptors team at home,
02:20right?
02:20Do they have what it takes to get back into this series?
02:23Because we all know what happens if you go down three games to none.
02:26And that means it's likely over.
02:29Just ask the Pittsburgh Penguins.
02:31But I like the Raptors in this one.
02:34I think they have a little something left in the tank here.
02:38And Emmanuel Quigley, keep an eye on his availability.
02:42They need him on the court here tonight, the Raptors,
02:45if they're going to have a chance to put this two games to one.
02:49All right.
02:50We got a triple header in the association tonight.
02:52Late night action.
02:53Going to like this one.
02:53The Denver Nuggets taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves, Joe.
02:56The Nuggets on the road as a slight favorite, minus one and a half,
02:59and a total of 234 and a half.
03:01So tonight, Joe, one and a half, three and a half, one and a half.
03:05No more 17 and a half and 14 and a half on the board.
03:08Give me a little Nuggets Timberwolves action here.
03:10And what can we expect from the spread line?
03:12You got to love this one.
03:14You know, this is quietly flying under the radar.
03:16These are two teams that do not like one another.
03:19They are running to microphones left and right,
03:22taking shots at each other here.
03:24And look at that total, Donnie.
03:26In a playoff atmosphere, we're still getting two on the mid-230s.
03:32Feels like a regular season, you know, Thursday night game, but it's not.
03:37It's going to be two offenses that are going to go at each other.
03:40Denver's MO is we are going to drop 130 on you.
03:44We don't care about playing defense.
03:46Minnesota's not as good defensively as they have been,
03:50but they're going to be able to score on this defense of Denver.
03:53So I don't care about the side.
03:56I definitely think team totals and the total in the game
03:59are certainly in play tonight.
04:01Time to get to some of those best bets for a Thursday.
04:03Here's bye, bye, bye.
04:11We got the information that you need.
04:13Trying to come up with some W's tonight, Joe.
04:15Where are we going for your best bet tonight?
04:18Yeah, well, tonight I'm going to go with the,
04:20I believe the first game up there, Donnie,
04:22with the New York Knicks heading to Atlanta to take on the Hawks
04:26in the all-important game three.
04:28And listen, this has been a series that the Knicks have handled,
04:32except for, well, down the stretch in the fourth quarter of that last game
04:37and gave, of course, Atlanta an opportunity.
04:40And they did, and they took it.
04:42But this is where experience comes in.
04:44It's also a series that I thought a lot about the zigzag theory,
04:49and I thought this would apply in this series.
04:51And look at the market price, Donnie.
04:53It's just about a pick-em.
04:55And I get a proven team, playoff team, with the Knicks at this kind of number.
05:00I think Jalen Brunson and Cubs, they have no answer for Josh Hart, by the way,
05:04Atlanta.
05:04They have it in two games.
05:06I think he's going to be key again tonight.
05:08I like the Knicks at this price to get it done.
05:11Yeah, Knicks fans probably travel well.
05:13Probably still cheaper, Joe, to get on a flight to Atlanta this morning,
05:17buy a ticket, and come home than what it would be costing to get into the garden itself.
05:21Let's move over in the NBA for myself today.
05:23I'm taking an underdog tonight.
05:26Love to take the dogs.
05:27Last night, Joe, hey, man, every game, OKC wins by 20-plus points in the playoffs at home.
05:31Not last night.
05:32I told you to take the 17-and-a-half, and we got the cover with Phoenix.
05:35Tonight, Cleveland Cavaliers on the road to take on the Toronto Raptors.
05:39Cleveland up 2-0 in this series.
05:41Love this spot for the home team, kitchen sink type of game.
05:45Lines opened up around 3-3-and-a-half.
05:46Actually, right now, I'm seeing across the board, 3-and-a-halves.
05:49We locked in that plus 3-and-a-half earlier this morning.
05:53Let's even get an outright victory tonight for those Toronto Raptors.
05:56Now, you say, Donnie, what do you like about this game?
05:58Not a ton here, except how about the betting public, Joe?
06:01Only around 35% of the tickets coming in on those Toronto Raptors.
06:05That line is going down, and we'll take it.
06:08Here's your handicap tonight.
06:09Nobody wants to take the Raptors.
06:11Your boy DRS, he's taking the Raptors, and you should too, Joe.
06:14Big winning night for the boys tonight on a Thursday.
06:17That's the script.
06:19Yeah, I mean, listen, the Cavs have led this series wire to wire since game one.
06:23I mean, it's kind of crazy, but they're going home, and they've got a shot, Donnie.
06:28I really think I'm with you on this one.
06:31Prediction Markets Edge on the early line is next.
06:35Joe and Donnie, we return right after the quick break.
06:37Prediction Markets Edge on the early line starts right now.
06:40It's Donnie Wrightside, and it's Joe Renier with the next half hour.
06:43We got you covered on all the latest hot topics here, different ways to invest your money.
06:47Get that stock market approach, because Joe, draft, NHL, NBA, Major League Baseball,
06:53it's all going down tonight.
06:55A little something for everybody here tonight, Donnie, in the draft, of course.
07:00These markets have been available for a while now, and there are some opportunities coming up,
07:06not only in the draft, but of course, in playoffs, too.
07:09We got NBA and NHL here tonight.
07:12Back-to-back warm days in Pittsburgh here.
07:14Well, at least it gives them something to cheer on, because who knows where the Pirates are going?
07:18Who knows if Aaron Rodgers is going to show up as their quarterback?
07:21And also, the Pittsburgh Penguins about to get sent home and maybe swept by the Philadelphia Flyers over the weekend.
07:26But we got action to talk about in the association tonight, Joe.
07:30That's the New York Knicks traveling to take on the Atlanta Hawks.
07:331-1, this series is tied up.
07:35This game will tip off tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern.
07:38If we take a look at the Cal Sheep Predictive Markets, New York currently trading, Joe,
07:42at a 51% chance to win this game.
07:44And Atlanta at 49%, if you include the spread, which is 1.5.
07:48New York's contract currently at 49 cents in this one, Joe.
07:52We just talked about our best bets a few moments ago.
07:55You're really digging into those New York Knicks tonight.
07:58Yeah, and one of the big reasons I do is because, like I had mentioned,
08:03they have zero answer for Josh Hart.
08:06He has been an absolute PRA machine in this series through two games here.
08:14And despite the fact that Mike Brown and the very questionable rotations that he put out there for game two
08:21in that second half,
08:22Josh Hart, 35 minutes, 15 points, 13 boards, 6 assists.
08:27He's got back-to-back now, 30-plus PRA games in this series.
08:31And call me crazy, I think it's 24-and-a-half, I believe, points, assists, and rebounds again here tonight.
08:40If it ain't broke, I ain't fixing it.
08:42I like the Knicks, but I like Josh Hart a whole lot here tonight in this Game 3.
08:48There you go, Josh Hart, centerpiece there.
08:51Also, if you take a look at Jalen Brunson to be on the road and be that man,
08:53they expect 30-plus point effort tonight on the Cal Sheep Marketplace, Joe.
08:57A $100 investment on that pays back $278.
09:02Let's go north of the border.
09:03Another best bet you just saw on the early line.
09:06That's Cleveland at Toronto today.
09:08Cleveland is the favorite in this game on the Cal Sheep Marketplace, Joe.
09:11Currently trading at 59 cents for the contract if you think they win this game outright.
09:15A $100 investment pays back $170.
09:19If we flip it over to Toronto, which I think they have a legitimate chance to win it outright,
09:23that $100 wager, Joe, pays back $239.
09:27But if we take a look at the spread, Cleveland by 3.5 is what's listed here.
09:31So if they win by four points or more, they get the cover.
09:35But for me, Joe, it's all Toronto for me.
09:38Give me the 3.5 tonight.
09:40Yeah.
09:41Well, listen, it looks like they are posting some props for Emmanuel Quigley there,
09:46which they're going to need tonight.
09:48He has got to get back out on that court for them because he gives them options offensively.
09:54They have been a mess, Donnie.
09:5640 turnovers in two games.
09:58I mean, that is just absurd.
10:00You can't win in the NBA if you keep turning the ball over.
10:04So if he is, in fact, out on the court tonight, which I think he will be,
10:09then I got to look at his points prop, Donnie, as well as his assist prop,
10:13because I believe that's going to be key to Toronto finally stopping the bleeding,
10:19less turnovers, and more points with a true point guard on the court there.
10:23So I'll be looking at his props to go over tonight.
10:26Give me the 3.5 tonight.
10:28And also have a little Scotty Barnes action.
10:3020-plus points tonight that he scores at home.
10:32That $100 investment on Cassie would pay back $228.
10:37Triple header, Joe, in the association.
10:399.30 start tonight.
10:41Denver at Minnesota.
10:42If we look at Denver, currently trading to win this game outright at $0.55, Joe,
10:47which means a $100 investment on Denver winning this game outright would pay back $182.
10:52You think the underdogs can steal another one here from Minnesota at home?
10:56That's trading currently at $0.46, which means, Joe, plus money in your pocket,
11:01a $100 investment would pay back $218 if you take the T-Wolts.
11:05Yeah, so another one of these zigzag series, Donnie,
11:09where there's not a lot separating the two.
11:11But keep an eye, because Anthony Edwards, questionable.
11:15He's been questionable.
11:16And there is some concern about the knee swelling up here.
11:20So if he's 50-50 to go tonight, I would likely look towards Denver sooner rather than later in this
11:29spot here.
11:30But I bet Denver early, right after the game against Minnesota, that Minnesota won in Game 2,
11:35because this has got zigzag written all over it.
11:39I think especially with questions on Anthony Edwards,
11:42I would jump in on Denver and maybe the overs for a team total in this one as well.
11:48I think it's a great deal.
