00:00Let's get to some of the action tonight, Joe.
00:02In the city of brotherly love, those New York Knicks in town with a 2-0 series lead
00:05to take on the Philadelphia 76ers.
00:08On the Calci marketplace, the Sixers are the slight favorite.
00:10How much by?
00:11A 51% chance currently right now to win this game outright.
00:15Because why?
00:16You take a look at the spread.
00:17It's the Sixers favored by one and a half.
00:19The contract for the Sixers to win tonight, just by margin, $100 pays back $193.
00:25And I should say, just to win that outright here.
00:27$193 back if you pick the Sixers tonight.
00:29I like the Sixers to win it, Joe.
00:31I do.
00:33You do.
00:34But, you know, now I look at the injuries and go, all right, I believe Embiid's already
00:38playing.
00:38I believe it's priced into the line.
00:40It's why it's already flipped and now moved towards Philadelphia.
00:44But my question is, where do those points that Ananobi would have gotten here, where
00:49do they go for the Knicks?
00:51And the answer, I think, especially if Joel Embiid's on the court, is to Jalen Brunson.
00:56His number hitting at, I think, 26 and a half, 27 and a half.
01:01Listen, Brunson is going to have to make up some of that slack here with Ananobi not
01:05available.
01:06I think him getting 30 plus, I think it's a good opportunity for the Knicks and Jalen Brunson
01:12maybe to ladder this up, Donnie, with his points tonight.
01:16How about an interesting one here for the Sixers side of it, too?
01:19And by the way, looking at the props for the points here for the players themselves, OG
01:23Ananobi is listed here tonight.
01:24Now, there's not a no prop on Cal.
01:26She just, yes, props here, 10 points, 15 points, and 20 points.
01:29But, Joe, flip it over to the Sixers side of things.
01:32Nothing is listed for Joel Embiid, which I do expect him probably to play tonight.
01:36But if he doesn't, who do you lean on then?
01:38You saw Tyrese Maxey play, like, what, 47 out of 48 minutes in the previous game, banged up
01:42his injured finger once again.
01:44So, for me, I don't look at Maxey and say, I need 30 at it.
01:46He might be able to get there.
01:47But, Joe, that centers on, where do players typically play their best basketball when they're
01:51young in their career?
01:52At home.
01:53Vijay Edgecombe, 15 plus points tonight, Joe.
01:57Only 39 cents here to the yes contract.
01:59A $100 investment will pay back $2.57 for Vijay to get 15.
02:03And, by the way, buying early sometimes.
02:05What happens if you take Edgecombe right now and Embiid doesn't play?
02:08That number's going to go higher.
02:09And we think, as Joe said, already baked into the marketplace.
02:12Is Embiid supposed to play?
02:14I like Edgecombe tonight, 15 plus points tonight with a nice little return.
02:18We'll see how that turns out.
