“So I'm going to take the Boston Celtics minus three and a half here to kick”

“Do you have any other thing on props that you want to talk about? Yeah, I do like Jaylen Brown. I'm going to continue to ride the wave here of over six and a half rebounds. They haven't really moved this line yet. So I'm going to continue to attack it.”

Official NBA results confirm the recorded settlement.

“So I'm betting this series to end in seven games at plus 210.”

Official NBA Finals results confirm the recorded settlement.

“I also put a sprinkle on the Warriors winning game seven at plus 410.”

“Let's talk props. I want to talk props with you because I think this is a, there's a healthy market here. It's so much more robust than we get in any other really series. We can talk about finals MVP at the end of the show, but I do want to kind of ask you about right now, what are some scoring rebounds, some actual just like player props for the series that you think you can find value on right now? Yeah. So I know, you know, Steph Curry is the odds on favor to win MVP. He's also the odds on favor to hit the most three pointers in the series. And I don't really think that there's that much value on Curry at minus 120. The guy I'm looking at is Klay Thompson. He's at plus 425, which is a 19% probability of success here. And, you know, I think that's way too low, considering that if you look in the playoffs, plays averaging 3.6 three-pointers made per game. And if you look at Curry, he's a smidge higher at 3.8. But if you look at this defense and the way that the Celtics have made it hard for Steph Curry to score, I mean, he's only shooting 29% in his career when guarded by Marcus Smart, according to Second Spectrum. And the Warriors also have the second worst offensive efficiency rating when Smart guards Curry. So, you know, we talked about it in the last series you know we expected the the Mavericks to kind of blitz Curry they did um to the best of their extent and we saw a little bit of an increase in Curry's assists um I don't think I think his efficiency is going to continue to struggle here he's going to have to get the ball out of his hands this defense is feisty I think we see more open looks for Klay Thompson and more opportunities for him to hit some three So I want to get your thoughts on that being that Klay is plus 425 I love it. I think that's great.”

“in more than in one and a half games. Right. What do you like for rebounds? What's the rebounding props that you like for this year? Yeah. So rebounds, I'm going to go a little bit more square, but I really like Al Horford at plus 135. He's averaging 9.6 in the playoffs, and he's posted double digit rebounds in six of his last eight games. The reason I like Al Horford more than Kavon Looney, who is the odds-on favorite right now, as well as some other ones, is because I think he's going to be on the floor no matter what the scheme is for Boston. I think you guys talked about it on buckets, but as this series wears on potentially, the formula for the Warriors, they want to go smaller. They're going to try to attack Robert Williams as best they can on the perimeter because perimeter defense, not as strong as Bers. great of a defensive player he is. He's really a rim protector, great offensive and defensive rebounder. But if you stretch him out, that's where there's some vulnerabilities there. But Al Horford can actually guard the perimeter. And I think he's going to be one of these guys that's going to see, you know, upwards of 35 minutes per game in the NBA finals. So, you know, I think that there's some certainly some value left there for Al Horford at plus 135. But the”

“So I got another one. Top assists. I'm going with Marcus Smart plus 300.”

“Those to me are like the best values for finals MVP. Yeah. Yeah, so we didn't collaborate before coming on here today. And literally the two names that I had sitting right next to, besides not betting on Curry, was Jason Tannum at plus 175. I have him as my hedge to my Warriors pick. But then also Klay Thompson at 14 to 1. Much of what you said, it's about those big moments. And if Steph, I think you can argue that when Andre Iguodala won MVP, that was the one opportunity that they probably could have given it to Steph and they didn't. Um, but, you know, if he has one of those types of series where, you know, the Warriors just play well as a basketball team, you know, I think Klay Thompson could be, have that upside that kind of wins over the media. If he goes for like 40 points in game six, like he's, you know, he's averaging 28 in game six for the course of his postseason career. So, you know, there could be moments where Klay shines, you know, hits nine, 10 threes or whatever. And that kind of steals the shine away from Steph. So I think that variability of like, you know, just how good this Warriors team and how unselfish they can be, I think certainly opens the door for other players to potentially take home this award. And if you go to the Celtics side, you know, if they win, I totally agree. It's going to be because Jason Tatum had the ball in his hands. He made the big shots. He got the clutch moments. You know, and what's interesting is that the Boston Celtics haven't been good in clutch. in the postseason or the regular season. So, you know, it's going to be really, this is going to be the changing of the guard moment. If the Celtics win, it's going to be off the strength of Tatum. I'm actually betting the under on sidebar. I'm betting the under on Jaylen Brown, 24 and a half points per game, mainly because he doesn't play that well against the Warriors. And I can go on that over another day. But I really like Jason Tatum at plus 175 and Klay Thompson at 14 to 1.”
