00:00Could we have an NBA Finals, Joe, that will continue tonight in game number two in San Antonio?
00:04Also end up 1-1 before heading back to New York City.
00:08Knicks and the Spurs tonight, 8.30 p.m. Eastern game time.
00:11Line opened up around 5.5, similar to what we saw in game number one, Joe,
00:14where that line moved closer to 4.5 by tip time.
00:17Now we're seeing those 5.5s out here turn into 6.5s across the board, the total of 2.14
00:22.5.
00:22It feels like a must-win game for the San Antonio Spurs, but at the same time,
00:26this isn't a Knicks team that's walking on the basketball court going,
00:29like, ah, no big deal.
00:30We won game one, and we've lost a few games.
00:33Joe, it's been 40-plus days since they lost a game.
00:36That's going to throw in the towel and say let's go back to New York 1-1.
00:38Give me a spread line tonight.
00:41Well, you know, this is interesting.
00:43What are we, 48 hours removed, and we went from 4.4.5 San Antonio to now 6.5 San
00:51Antonio
00:51with a total of 2.14, Donnie, 2.14.5, and yet we closed at 2.18.
00:5748 hours ago.
01:00So the adjustment to the total, I get why that's going on.
01:04My only fear here is that, yeah, the Knicks ended up having one of their worst statistical
01:10shooting games of the postseason and still won by 10.
01:14If we're going to get positive regression, certainly from the wide-open threes that both
01:18these teams, you know, had opportunities to make shots on, this could be a total, Donnie,
01:26that we're going to wake up tomorrow and go, I cannot believe we didn't bet the over here
01:31because, listen, you've got to score if you're going to win this game.
01:34And both of these teams can play better offensively than they did in game one.
01:39So I get why the lines are where they're at here, but boy, oh boy, this is one of those
01:46moments in time in the postseason, Donnie, where maybe being contrarian is the most profitable
01:52thing you will do all year long.
01:56Speaking of being contrarian as well, Joe, about 6 out of 10 tickets coming in on the
02:01New York Knicks with that line going a little bit in the opposite direction, something to
02:04keep an eye on for this that you might hear in hour number two.
