I know you're ready man I know you're ready Alright On this day in the NBA You're right We got seven games To choose from Seven games worth of plays NBA alone Yeah People ask me Do you put out plays In other sports? I do I certainly do Alright Now in this day In the NBA stats Damian Lillard Scored 59 points Against Utah Breaking Damon Stoudemire's 2005 record For most in a game By a Trailblazers player Just something to take note of Today It's April 8th Of 2017 Yeah And just another note About Chris Paul When Chris Paul Joins a team That team gets better When Chris Paul Became a part of the Hornets Well prior to Chris Paul Becoming a part of the Hornets They had a winning percentage Of 22 After Chris Paul 46 Before Chris Paul got to the Clippers They were winning at a 39% clip After Chris Paul 60% Before Chris Paul got to the Rockets They were winning at a 67% clip After Chris Paul Almost 80% Oklahoma City Thunder Before Chris Paul Were winning at a 59.8% clip After Chris Paul 61% And lastly The Phoenix Suns Were winning at a 46% clip Prior to Chris Paul Now with Chris Paul on the team They had a 60 Pardon me 72% So shout out to those numbers Yeah Alright so Without further ado Let's take a look at these lines In the NBA real quick Why don't we In the first game We got Los Angeles Lakers At Miami This one taking place At 7.30pm Eastern time Down in Miami, Florida Miami is giving up 8.5 points With a total setting At 2.03.5 And What do we like What do we like In this one Alright The first thing That I'm noticing Is that The Lakers Have not been covering Many games Now They will be getting Andre Drummond back today However They may be missing Kuzma This is A road trip for The Lakers In which they have Won a couple games Won the first game And the third game Lost the second So it's the fourth game Of a road trip Out there in Florida Second time In three days How do I feel About this one I'm looking at The spread And I'm noticing That the Lakers Are 10 and 7 As the away Favorites But guess what They aren't Favorited today So why would I Have them on here As A home favorite That's why I'm so Appreciative Of you Because Without me doing This podcast I would not have Not noticed that Ever in my Reading Alright Let's take a quick Pause here for a second We're going to bring Bills to go back In a minute Shout out to The homie Bills Again man One of the Ellis producers Out here In NYC Period Alright So Miami Miami is the Home favorite I have to Recalibrate Really quickly So it's the Home favorite Miami's 8-12-1 Against the spread Miami 8-12-1 And so we got to Look at Lakers now as the Away underdog Against the spread It's 3-4 So that changes The dynamics a whole lot Alright Now I'm not so sure About the Lakers Right Now I am definitely Not so sure About the Lakers And Yeah We're going to We're going to I'm sorry I just got a text message And I kind of got distracted For a hot second Alright I was looking to pull up These notes In regards to the Lakers game And the number that I have here That I like in particular For the Lakers game Is the first half under Why do I like the first half under Because of the road team Lakers Has an away underdog 2-5 To the under As their home favorite Miami is 11-10 To the over However We're talking about Halftime here And I don't believe The Lakers have enough On the floor To run an offense That will be able to score A lot of points tonight And Miami In my opinion Runs a slow type of An offense through They have an under Record for the season At 24-27 overall After winning their 11-15 to the over As a home team They're 14-13 So I believe I think it goes to 14-14 today To the over Right By beating The Lakers Who probably will be Without Kyle Kuzma However my play In that game again Is the under 1-0-3 And a half in that one With that said We're going to move on To the next game And Where are we still at 7-30 If we are still at 7-30 Yeah we do have Another 7-30 game And that is the Chicago Bulls At the Toronto Raptors Now Chicago's A four point favorite And so that line Has moved up I had Chicago at three And the reason Is because I think that they're The team trending In the positive direction Right They are 28-21 Against the spread Overall As the away team 17-6 against the spread As the away favorite They are also 4-2 against the spread The Chicago Bulls are So this is a team When they're on the road In this type of spot They usually take Take care of business Now if I were Someone who wanted To give away A safe bet I would say Take the Chicago Bulls On the money line However That's not my style Of giving out pinks at all You know I like to go where the value is And I believe that the value Is taking the Bulls By the three and a half I have three on my sheet Obviously this number Has changed I still want to keep it at three Take the three and a half At your own risk But I would suggest Buying it down Which will be a little bit More than I like per se And so you might ask So why not take Toronto To cover the four and a half And that's not a bad question However I just feel like The line movement Is a little bit much for me And I am good with my number My number is three So give me the Chicago Bulls Minus three And that one Bill Stigler man What's shaking bacon Can I get an ill vibe Good brother Let's get to it Right Again shout out to the homie Bill Stigler Alright so just a quick recap Of the two plays That we like in NBA so far Like yeah We like the first half under 103 in the Lakers Versus heat game And we like the Lakers As well I just think that That is a large number And okay we are Talking about Drummond Being on the floor And Schroder Schroder's not just gonna lay down And just not hoop In my opinion So I think those guys Are gonna fight I think Miami is a Is a place that Leads to the history Of Miami versus LA And so there's a lot To that one So I don't think I think it's gonna lay down It's gonna be Lakers Plus eight and a half Alright then the Chicago Bulls Game at Toronto Again Toronto Let's take a quick look At Toronto Before we just totally Write them off Alright they lost Their last game And they lost a string Of games Prior to winning two One versus Golden State And against the lowly Washington Wizards They lost against the Lakers And now After a day's wrath They face Chicago This is a home game Chicago Has won their last two games And They're They're in the middle Of a road trip Basically After a big win Against New York Pardon me Brooklyn Then winning against The rivals In the end I think that they're Pumped in charge And that they're gonna Go into Toronto And beat them So Yeah Alright another NBA action Let's move on To later Plays and games In the day Let's take a look Okay so at 8pm Eastern time We have Cleveland Traveling Into OKC For battle Not saying that they're Not already there Of course They should be In the town already But you know what I mean If you know what I mean If you don't know what I mean Then you know what I mean You know what I mean Okay Oakland had means On the court Yesterday On the field Yesterday right Oakland A's Means And I believe they won the game We did get that play out As well Sidebar Side note Alright so we are looking At Cleveland At OKC Cleveland is giving up Four points And the total is sitting At 218 points Cleveland They've won their last game Cleveland's won their last game And they are playing Off a back I'm sorry Not a back to back They hadn't played in two days This is six or seven They had off Playing on two days rest OKC Last game of the road trip And Isaiah Robey Looks like he will be Hooping today Is Jared Allen Because now this game Gets a little bit tricky If you look at the ATS Cleveland is 0 And 1 Let's make a Let's double check that now Let's take a look now As the away favorite 0 and 1 Against the spread As the Home underdog OKC is 9 and 16 Against the spread So what we are going to do is Talk a little bit deeper Okay If you don't mind We are going to take a look at The best teams As home underdogs Against the spread And the entire association To see what that number Looks like Because when we look at a number Like 9 and 16 Right As home underdogs Against the spread Home underdogs Against the spread We're looking for home Underdogs Against the spread Alright so When we take a look at Home underdogs Against the spread And the teams who have been In the spot the most Detroit 12 and 9 They're sitting at 51% Cleveland 10 and 11 At 52% Charlotte 9 9-4-1 At 69% Washington 52% New Orleans Memphis Let's go back to the percentages Alright so Brooklyn Charlotte Clippers Alright But for the teams with double digit Games as home underdogs We're going to Detroit Is first Cleveland Minnesota Then OKC They're 4th Out of 5 Teams They cover 36% Of their games As home Dogs However Cleveland Has only one game With their benefit Let's go back to the We'll go back to the Alright so favorite on the road, and they did not cover that. So let's take a look at the away numbers, period.
That's the away team. How do the Cavaliers fare? So Cleveland Cavaliers away record against the spread is 8-18 on the season. Give me Oklahoma City Thunder to cover the spread.
The spread is what is the spread here? The spread is 4. Give me OKC plus 4.5. That is a play that I didn't have earlier.
Looking at the spread, though, I don't believe in Cleveland like that. Let's look at the injury report. I could be 100% wrong with this one. But no Larry Nance.
No Jared Allen. Isaiah Roby should be coming back. Okay? Let's take a look at Josh Hall will be playing as well, and Darius Miller.
Not household names. However, those guys are valuable pieces. So let's take a look at the injury report for today in the NBA. But for now, yeah, I like that OKC plus 4.
I'm not even going to hold you. I think Roby will be back. Let's take a look here. Daily.
Daily injury report. What is on the daily injury report? All right. So today, you see Mason Plumlee, Fred Van Vliet is out.
Mike Conley has a game time decision. Jordan Bell is out. All right. So yeah.
That's just what has been reported so far, I guess. Now let's go back to our team. Take a quick look. All right.
Are we looking for Oklahoma City Thunder now? Oklahoma City Thunder. Yeah, Jared Allen looks like he's out. And for the Thunder.
Thunder. We got Roby game time decision. Baisley. Game time decision.
If Baisley is back, I'm definitely going to go OKC. Now let's take a look. All right. So just for now, let's give me OKC plus 4 so we can continue on with the podcast.
Oklahoma City plus 4 is the play, especially if they get pasty today. I mean, Baisley, because I feel him with Roby when they go crazy against the Cavs. If they don't have Jared Allen in the middle, if you don't have that, then I'll see how they're going to get past. A team like the Thunder.
I hope my picks don't plunder. I hope they bring you my wonderful days from now on into the future. Because I got this pick super running line for the one time. Nah, I'm going to say that for any day.
I hope it don't rain on that day. That way my team get to play and get paid. You know I got to bust out a freestyle like nine there, man. It just happens.
You get me. I can salute to the homie Bills if they go with them on the track. We just added Oklahoma City plus 4 to the list. All right.
So we got a baseball play and that game is actually on right now. So let's take a quick look at this Marlins versus Smith. So we had the over eight runs in that one. We also had the Marlins to cover the spread.
So let's take a quick look. All right, so it's the end of the third and there's still no score. Unders looking like a play now. We shall see.
Next up, the lone hit in the game. Still a lot of baseball left. So I just saw something in baseball, right? Pardon me, in basketball.
And the play that we don't have on the board that we might put on the board now may be in regards to the Portland Trailblazers. Yes. I believe the Blazers have a chance. Should Mike Conley not play?
I know that the Jazz have a farewell without Conley. However, they did play a grueling matchup last night versus Phoenix Suns. And they lost. So I think they continue to get blazed today.
Doesn't get any easier. Let's take a look at this Portland roster. If the Blazers have enough today, it could be a tough one. The Blazers are sitting at 30 and 20 versus Utah, who's sitting at 38 and 13.
Who's on the roster? Who was playing today? That's what I want to know. That's what I want to see.
Starting lineups. Gotta look at the start lineups and take a look and see if we're gonna get the full Portland squad today. All right, so I see four of the key components playing Robert Covington, McCollum, Fane Willard, and Nurchick. Now, what I need to know is how does Utah play on the back-to-back?
After we lost, they're 9 and 3. After our loss against the spread, however, 5 and 7. No rest for Utah, 8 and 1. No rest, cover spread, 7 and 2.
So Utah's not a team that you want to sleep on for back-to-back. With rest disadvantage, 10 and 2. 8 and 4 against the spread, with rest disadvantage. Also, we have to take note that a team that is good against the spread in this spot is the opposing team.
So, this is just not an easy call here. Not at all, not at all. I kind of want to lean to the under. Let's take a quick look at some other numbers here.
This is a 10 p.m. ball game. And Norman Powell looks like he will be playing. Nurchick looks questionable.
Conley is doubtful. You gotta still feel that the Jazz can come out the victor in this game. However, let's look at the halftime. Let's take a look and see if we can get a play at halftime, four and over.
Halftime totals with the Utah Jazz. That is what we're looking for. We're looking to see how these halftimes fare. Do we have an opportunity to win some chicken for the halftime play?
Utah Jazz, Paul and Drum Blazers. Blazers at the half, 25 and 24 for the year. Utah Jazz at the half, 20 and 31 at the half for the year. Let's see if that has changed over the course of the last few games.
Over the last few games, Utah Jazz is 3 and 7. Hmm. Do we get a Portland halftime here? I think we can take a shot with Portland at the halftime here.
I think we can take a shot with Portland at the halftime here. Utah Jazz is 5 and 5 in the last 10 at home at the half and 3 and 2 at the half in the last 5 away. Blazers are 4 and 1. So give me the Blazers at the half.
The 6-point dog to cover the 3 at the half. Portland Trail Blazers at the half. Now let's take a look at the first quarter while we're at it. Why don't we?
First quarters. How does Portland fare? Portland is 25 and 25 in the first quarter. All games.
The Jazz. 26 and 25 first quarters all games. At home, last 10. Jazz.
6 and 4. First quarters all game. Oh wait, last 10. Blazers 3 and 7.
Again, last 5. First quarters, 1 and 4 Blazers. And at home, which Utah is, they're in 4 and 1. So Utah's been coming out strong first quarters but second quarter, hmm, hmm, second quarter spread.
Wow. Second quarter spread. Let's take a look. Blazers.
Not so good. Second quarter spreads have not been good for the Blazers. They've lost 28 of 36. Let's continue to take a look.
Let's see if that's gotten better in the last few games. Actually, the last 5 games, they've covered the second quarter. So we got to play here. A sneaky one.
Second quarter spread. Second quarter spread. Or second quarter Blazers. Blazers Q2 spread.
That is a play that we like a lot. Feels big enough. I had to step away for a second because I just thought about that play and I was like, wow, I think we got to go in there. Not that the other plays aren't good.
I like that Blazers first half spread. And that Blazers second quarter. Yes. I really do think that's a good play.
All right. So let's continue on. So like the Clippers and Suns first half under Clippers and Suns under 221 and a half. Blazers first half spread.
Blazers second quarter spread. So that's pretty much it. That's what we like for the day, y'all. That's pretty much what we like for the day, man.
That's a lot of work on here. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Those are 11 plays.
Not to factor in later on today, we'll have KBO, Korean Baseball. All right. So for the basic framework of it all, like the Lakers and Heat under first half under 103. Like the Lakers to cover that spread at 8.5.
Like Chicago Bulls to win the game to cover up to 3 points. We also like the Phoenix Suns plus 6.5. Like the Marlins and Mets over 8.5 runs although that game has started and there is a 0-0 score with only one hit at the bottom of the third. Marlins to cover the 1.5 points.
Clippers and Suns under 2, 12.5. Clippers and Suns first half under 108. Oklahoma City plus 4. Blazers first half spread and Blazers second quarter spread.
