00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: it's all about? So without further ado, let's get to

18
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: the top ten NBA playoff bets for twenty twenty three.

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Number ten The LA Lakers, you upset the Memphis Grizzlies

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: in Round one of the playoffs. Now, the Lakers might

21
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: have gotten a gift as the Timberwolves were in complete

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: disarray heading into the play in games. But also the

23
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: La Lakers are starting to get healthy for the first time,

24
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: and you can't discount Lebron James in the playoffs. Anthony

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: Davis also starting to play well for the Los Angeles Lakers,

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: and perhaps the Lakers are one of the rare exceptions

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: of a team that wasn't so dazzling in the regular

28
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: season but might be a little bit more dangerous in

29
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They might be dangerous enough too with Lebron

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: for that first round upset. So keep a close eye

31
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: on the Lakers and the Memphis Grizzlies because this one

32
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: has all the opportunity to make some money on the

33
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: Lakers side of things. Number nine the Warriors defeating the

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings in Round one of the NBA Playoffs. Now,

35
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: the Kings might have had a better regular season record

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: than the Warriors, but don't forget the Warriors are the

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: reigning defending champions, coming off their fourth title in eight years,

38
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: and their core group is still returning. So although the

39
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings certainly put up some really good stats this year,

40
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: and one can argue that they had the best offensive

41
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: rating in the recently concluded regular season. But this is

42
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: about experience, especially experience in the playoffs handling your business,

43
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: and that's one spot where the Warriors can still shine

44
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: and maybe outshine the Sacramento King. So put some money

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: on the Warriors to advance in Round one. Number eight,

46
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers sweep that's right, sweep the New York

47
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: Knicks in round one of the playoffs. Tom Thibodeau, coach

48
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: of the New York Knicks, has really put the pedal

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: to the medal, and the Knicks look like they might

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: be out of gas. Julius Randall suffering that ankle sprain

51
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: that is still unknown about his availability for the playoffs,

52
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: that it seems like it's a good chance he doesn't

53
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: play at all. That means that the Knicks are gonna

54
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: have a hard time defending Donovan Mitchell in a hard

55
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: time keeping pace with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Could be an

56
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: easy first round get through for the Cleveland Calves and

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: an early exit for the New York Knicks. Number seven

58
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns to win the Western Conference plus two

59
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: hundred over on FanDuel. Now, the Phoenix Suns are the

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: heavy favorite, and two to one is still pretty good

61
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: outs to come out of the West where they are

62
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: the best team on paper, but on paper is not

63
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: where you win championships, so I'm not quite writing that

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: story yet. However, to win the West, it's still a

65
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: pretty good wager. The acquisition of Kevin Durant and obviously

66
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: not having to give up DeAndre Ayton in that deal,

67
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: was a huge win for the Phoenix Suns. But Durant

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: needs to stay healthy so that lineup can continue to

69
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: build chemistry throughout the playoffs, and if they can get

70
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: by the Clippers in the first round, then the Phoenix

71
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: Suns could have a clear shot at the finals. Number

72
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: six the Golden State Warriors to win the Western Conference

73
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: plus five hundred over at bet MGM. So, if it's

74
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: not the Phoenix Suns, and we were looking to wet

75
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: our beaks a little bit more in terms of what

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: we can get out of our investment, that perhaps the

77
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors is the way to go. This team

78
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: is battle tested, they have the star power, they have

79
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: the coach, they have all the right tools. It's just

80
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: whether or not they can get hot at the right

81
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: time in the playoffs. And we've seen teams like this

82
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: turn it on in the playoffs and run the table.

83
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: We've seen the Warriors do this before. So in terms

84
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: of who could be dangerous in the West, well, if

85
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: it's not the Suns, it could certainly be the defending champs.

86
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: Number five, the Boston Celtics to win the NBA Championship

87
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: at plus three seventy over on FanDuel. Now. The Boston

88
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Celtics certainly got out in front early in the Eastern Conference,

89
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: but the rest of the conference did catch up and

90
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: coach Joe Mizzula being promoted to official head coach status

91
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: has been a good move for the Boston Celtics. Here's

92
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 1: the thing. Although they got off to that hot start,

93
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: and although the other teams in the division seem to

94
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: have closed the gap, the Celtics are still a very

95
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: talented team. So depending on how the brackets shake out,

96
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: the Celtics could find themselves in a really good position,

97
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: basically only having to beat either the Bucks or the

98
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: seventy six ers depending how the brackets fall, and if

99
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: they can do that, then the NBA title could still

100
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: be well within their grasp. Number four the Philadelphia seventy

101
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: six Ers to win the NBA Championship at plus nine

102
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: hundred over on BETMGM. Now. The Philadelphia seventy six Ers

103
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: are poised to absolutely be able to return on this

104
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: very big number here, and here's why. Joel Embiid has

105
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: absolutely played like an MVP down the stretch, and the

106
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 1: Sixers have a deep enough team where they can compete

107
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: with anybody in the East or the West. The Sixers

108
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: also have the same thing the Celtics have going for them,

109
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: which is, depending on how the bracket shakeout, they might

110
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: only have to beat one of those other big time

111
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: teams in the East in order to get to the finals.

112
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: And we all believe that the East might be better

113
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: suited to winning this year's title than the West. Time

114
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: will tell, but this is a huge ROI on the

115
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers and one that you should strongly consider.

116
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: Number three the Milwaukee Bucks to win the NBA Championship

117
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: plus two forty over on FanDuel. Now. This is a

118
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: much smaller number than the Celtics or the seventy six Ers,

119
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: but the Bucks are the favorite for a reason, and

120
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: Yannis again has also played like an MVP, just like

121
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Joel Embiid. Here's the thing. The Milwaukee Bucks might not

122
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: have that Robin to Janis as batman, but they do

123
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: have Giannis and this could be a huge year for

124
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: him as the Bucks are getting hot at the right time. Yes,

125
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: it's a smaller number, but if we're writing a story

126
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: of who we think is going to win, and the

127
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Bucks are the favorite in the East, and the East

128
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: is the beast to beat, then the Bucks should have

129
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: some strong considerations for heavy investments in the NBA Playoffs,

130
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: which brings us to number two the NBA Finals pairing

131
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: Bucks versus the Suns plus five hundred on FanDuel. Is

132
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: it a little boring? Is it a little chalk? Yeah? Probably,

133
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: but it feels like it could be right. And if

134
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: you already think that the Suns really just have to

135
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: get past maybe the Golden State Warriors in order to

136
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: anoint themselves as West Coast champs, and you think the

137
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: Bucks are the favorites for a reason in the East,

138
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: then probably the best way to make money is to

139
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: combine them both on this wager of plus five hundred

140
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: over on FanDuel and get the most bang for your buck.

141
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: See what I did there, Most bang for your buck.

142
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: You're welcome. I'll be here all week, which brings us

143
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: to our final wager, Number one NBA Finals exact outcome

144
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: the Bucks to beat the Suns at plus nine to

145
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: fifty over on FanDuel. Look at this number, plus nine

146
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: to fifty. If we're writing a story about the NBA

147
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: Playoffs and we're investing in that story and that narrative, well,

148
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: these are the two protagonists, antagonists, whatever you want to

149
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: call them, that meet in the very end. And this

150
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: is the best way to make money on the NBA

151
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: Finals is to pick this outcome between the two teams

152
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 1: that we think is going to get to the big dance.

153
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Yes it feels a little chalky, Yes it might be

154
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: some big stars here in terms of the kind of

155
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: movie we're writing, and maybe Jerry Bruckheimer would have to

156
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: direct it. But I'll say this, if indeed we get

157
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,440
