00:00Okay, so tonight, 7, 10 p.m. Eastern, the Celtics can put this series to bed.
00:06They are huge favorites against the Philadelphia 76ers.
00:10I see a total here of 2, 13 and a half.
00:13It seems like Boston woke up after taking that one loss.
00:17I would anticipate Boston winning tonight, but what about a cover here?
00:21This is, again, a lot of points, Kyle.
00:23It's a lot of points, and the way Boston plays is just these low-scoring,
00:27slug them out, kind of ugly games.
00:29They're not the prettiest team to watch unless Peyton Pritchard has it going,
00:32and guess what?
00:33Peyton Pritchard has had it going.
00:35I'll take them to cover here.
00:36I don't feel great about it, but I don't really like what I saw from this Embiid
00:40functioning offense with him coming back from the appendectomy.
00:43There's a lot not to like in Philly.
00:46Don't get me wrong.
00:46They've got some pieces, but when he's there, Edgum's role looks completely different.
00:50Oubre's been a lost player of late.
00:54As far as my best bet or my biggest wager on this game, I've got Paul George under
00:59eight and a half rebounds plus assists.
01:01It's kind of a niche market, but that's what I do here.
01:03It's juiced a little bit heavy, but everything kind of ran out right for him in the return
01:08of Embiid, and he ended up with four rebounds and one assist.
01:11I don't think he's getting near eight and a half.
01:12It doesn't feel like a big number for a guy that's valuable, but with Embiid suctioning
01:18or suctioning up a lot of the offense and a lot of the time of possession because of
01:22the free throws, Paul George under eight and a half rebounds plus assists.
01:26All right.
01:26Let's see if we can sneak in another game.
01:28Then we'll bring Kyle back to do the rest and do some baseball here today, too.
01:31Okay.
01:32So this is going to be a fun series.
01:33Look, I think this is going seven.
01:35And then at that point, I don't know who's going to win, but the Knicks are favorite tonight.
01:39Big, by the way, Kyle, six and a half point favorites over the Atlanta Hawks total of
01:44two 13 and a half, it almost seems disrespectful with the way that the Hawks have played, but
01:49I think Atlanta is going to steal a game, either this one or next one.
01:53And then going back to the garden, I would guess for game seven, what do you make of tonight's
01:57game though?
01:58I said at the beginning of the series, I'm going to keep doing it.
02:01I think Atlanta is just as good as New York.
02:03So be getting more than two to one to play them on the money line.
02:08I get that it's in the garden, the mystique, all that stuff.
02:10I'll take Atlanta to win this game.
02:12And I'm going to hedge it by taking them against the spread too.
02:14So I get my money back if they cover and lose, but I just, they defend like in the postseason.
02:20If this series was played in the regular season, give me the Knicks.
02:23It's not the regular season.
02:25It's the postseason.
02:26Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson, those guys just too much consistency on the defensive end.
02:31I don't think it's pretty, but I do think Atlanta covers this number six and a half,
02:35a lot more in a low scoring game.
02:36I think they get to the finish line.
02:38I'll take the 215 here.
02:39And by the way, look at the series odds, by the way, Hawks.
02:42You could still get plus 190 here if you think that they can win in the garden,
02:46which would sort of be unprecedented for game seven.
02:48And, you know, naturally to bet the Hawks plus a game and a half in the series is silly.
02:52It's minus 240.
02:53I mean, listen, it's a three game series at this point.
02:56Do you have Atlanta winning this whole series?
02:58I do.
02:59You're worried about it going back to the garden for game seven.
03:01I'm not sure we get there.
03:02What's to stop Atlanta from winning the next two?
03:04I'm not sure.
03:04I'm not sure.
03:04I'm not sure.
03:04I'm not sure.
03:04You
