00:00Let's also set the stage for a new week on this Monday night some NBA

00:04Yeah, Wow your NBA handicappers in studio live in person

00:08Together the RS just four weeks remaining in this NBA regular season

00:12Most teams have 15 14, maybe even fewer than that left in terms of their regular season contests still outstanding

00:20So everything that happens right now for a team that is hunting down a postseason spot all about playoff positioning that includes out

00:27West where the Golden State Warriors winners of seven straight trying to make it eight in a row tonight in San Francisco

00:34Four and a half point spread in favor of the Dubs take it on the Denver Nuggets total stands at two thirty six and a

00:39Half, what do you like by the bag? Let's go ahead

00:41Let's keep the win streak going at this point here

00:43You take a look at the opening line at three and a half here in New Jersey at the Fandula Sportsbook now up to four

00:47And a half minutes four and a half now at most outlets as well the total 239 now sits at 236 in there

00:53So a little bit of a drop

00:54I like when streaks happen and streaks matter to NBA teams are also taking a look at the Golden State Warriors

00:59Getting ready for playoff positioning right now in the Denver Nuggets it currently I believe still ahead of them at this point even with the way

01:05I think at this point so you want to chase them down

01:07I like this matchup for Golden State and I agree with that line movement shame

01:10We couldn't get the three and a half but the four and a half would do just fine here

01:13The Warriors have made their way out of the play in tournament courtesy of the seven game win streak

01:18They have one fewer loss

01:20But also one fewer win right now than that of the Minnesota Timberwolves who actually are the hottest team in the Western Conference

01:26They have won eight straight games of Golden State trying to hold off

01:30Minnesota Denver in the three spot as of this moment same exact record as the Houston Rockets

01:36But a couple of tiebreakers the Rockets have won six in a row now Houston jockeying into that spot for the to see

01:43We have seen a lot of change in terms of two through six two through seven in the Western Conference

01:48Standings the only change we have not seen the top team in the Western Conference now 56 and 12 winners of three in a row

01:55That's the Oklahoma City Thunder road victory last night in

01:59Milwaukee speaking of Minnesota the hottest team out west they have won eight consecutive games

02:04They're at home tonight in the Twin Cities taking on the pace or seven and a half point spread in favor of the Timberwolves

02:10total it to

02:11129 how do you break down this matchup?

02:14Obviously hot streaks win streaks you see you want to ride those out when you take a look at three and a half to four

02:19And a half a lot different than eight and seven and a half is what you're seeing now

02:22Why don't open up overnight at the fan those sportsbook minus eight points toward the home team Minnesota Timberwolves?

02:26Let's now drop to seven and a half and a slight difference there on the total two thirty and a half to 229 for me

02:31I'm gonna take the points after seven and a half with the Pacers

02:33Do I think there's a legitimate chance they can win that game?

02:35Yes, I do

02:36But more importantly I'm getting seven and a half close to him down the stretch here to three points goes either way

02:40You still come away with a victory, but I think Minnesota is a better team tonight. Yes, they're favored

02:45They're supposed to win this game

02:46I'll take the points with the Pacers tonight not necessarily to end the streak

02:49But to keep it close enough or have a legitimate chance to cover the Pacers 13 and 13 against the spread as an underdog this season

02:55Minnesota in the eight-game win streak has covered in six of those eight wins

03:00Golden State has been great by the way winners of seventh straight and with Jimmy Butler in the fold

03:05They've been covering numbers a ton as well a 10-game slate around the Association on this

03:12Monday night a lot late got four games starting after 10 p.m

03:16Eastern time out there on the West Coast not this one inside Madison Square Garden the New York Knicks back

03:22Inside the Mecca after of course the Big East tournament this past week

03:26It's a seven and a half point favorite vote total 210 and a hook and they host the Miami Heat

03:32It wasn't all that long ago DRX. Yeah, we saw totals in the low to 40s for the New York Knicks

03:38This one at 210 and a hook

03:39Yeah

03:39No Brunson still anticipated back for this game as we wait on his injury status the six and a half still have moved to seven

03:44And a half's across the board here particularly in New Jersey

03:46And you're right a really low number

03:47Two ten and a half sitting at the fan blue sportsbook some other outlets as low as 209 and a half right now

03:53It's simple for me. I think the Knicks win this game. Yes, but I think that price point is a little bit too high for me

03:58I'll take the Miami Heat because looks like they have a full go starting lineup tonight going into the garden and I've talked about this

04:04Many times there's very few places during the regular season which teams get excited to play Madison Square Garden is one of those

04:10You're never gonna get it to you like oh man. We're at the garden tonight like no they're excited for this one

04:14We'll play within that I'll take the seven and a half points here tonight with the Miami Heat

04:17He 13 17 and won against the spread as an underdog this season the Knicks have gone under in eight of their last ten

04:25They finished that West Coast five-game road trip just two and three straight up an underdog three times

04:31They did cover in their last game against Golden State very low scoring and that matchup against the Dubs neither team got to the century mark

04:39Let's continue to break down all of our action around the Association on this Monday night

04:44There's not a lot left now the Philadelphia 76ers DRS

04:48But as we share the Houston Rockets winners of six in a row in H town tonight

04:53Fifteen and a half point spread in favor of

04:57The Rockets is Paul George even still playing for the 76ers. I don't even know

05:01He's like witness protection at this point by the way you take a look at the Sixers who won a game

05:05They probably should not have won against the Dallas Mavericks, but then again the Dallas Mavericks

05:09They're probably tanking out as well. It's two touchdowns in this game

05:12I would play probably minus nine and a half in the first half and here's the reason why

05:15Pictures are looking to start Jared Butler. I don't know if that's you know Jimmy Butler's brother

05:19No idea who that guy even is the start for Baylor that won a national championship of the Bears exactly Justin Edwards

05:25I mean that guy could be like a

05:26You know an NPC and again video game at this point here you take a look at Ricky council the fourth and Gershon

05:31Yabu sell it like that's the starting lineup that they have like that's the best of it tonight. They're getting hammered

05:36They will be down double digits at the break. I guess the only good thing for the Sixers

05:41They have no six of their last eight there are so many more losses since the month of February began

05:46They have covered in three of their last four as an underdog

05:49They have also gone over a ton recently six of the last seven games for Philadelphia

05:54They have played to the over of that number the Sixers

05:5923 and 44 again Houston trying to hold off Denver the Rockets a hefty favorite home Denver a slight underdog on the road in San

06:07Francisco could be an even bigger distinction right there for the 2-3 split around the Western Conference other important games

06:14Late night out on the west coast the Lakers at home against the San Antonio Spurs nine points

06:20Is that the return of one?

06:23LeBron James tonight again

06:25Or is that just how bad the Spurs are now without the Aaron Fox as well probably just as bad

06:29I got look at don't you short and good when Austin Reeves or infinity Smith and Jackson Hayes is that potent lineup out here?

06:34Hey, Chris Paul action tonight. Come on little castle keep the number in the inside there going now. What do you got come on Spurs?

06:41San Antonio might end up in the Cooper flag sweepstakes

06:45Some way the Suns by the way

06:46Because the Mavericks Mavericks are struggling just a game and a half out of the final play in turning position

06:52They're an eight and a half point home favorite tonight in the valley against the Toronto Raptors
