Best Bets for Ja Morant Against The Celtics in Primetime

joining us now. Bet mgM host Olivia Harlan Dekker to get into it. So Olivia, let's begin with the first game of tonight's national doubleheaders, jayson Tatum grizz at Celtics. What is the best pick tonight you think? Yeah, it's two of the hottest teams in the league. It's funny. This wouldn't have sounded like such a great game a couple of months ago, but you've got all this young star talent all over the court, Jayson Tatum, you mentioned Jalen Brown, John Moran two teams that like to get up and down the floor play defense. But I like the home dog here Celtics plus 1.5. That number has gone down. They have one of the best defenses in the league right now. They hold opponents to under 100 4 points a game. And I always like to take a home dog in the N. B. A. If it's that attractive. This one's easy. Well we cannot talk about job Moran enough by the way. He's been a human highlight reel all season but has really, really come on this week. So do you think josh shows out on national tv tonight And what do you think is the most fun prop for him? Yes, he definitely shows up for national tv tonight. A prop. I like that's kind of random. But one that I think shows to the game he'll probably have combined steals and blocks over 1.5. It's at plus 100. It's a big primetime game. I think he'll be aggressive, trying to get a couple impressive highlight blocks that will be scrolling on instagram seen tonight and it's only hit once in the last three games. He averages just one steel and half a block per game, but his athleticism can get him that at any time. So I think he'll be very aggressive tonight by the way. Did you see the drummer and buzzer beater versus spurs is now the most viewed video of all time. They have over 44 million views on instagram, which is oh my gosh, yeah, I didn't know that it was the most viewed video, but it makes sense. It should totally. Okay, so moving on to a big rematch in the West Warriors look for revenge On the Mavericks after blowing a 21 point lead to Luka. Don Cheech and Dallas mats have home court advantage and momentum. Do you think they cover? Yes, I love this. Dallas minus 1.5. Mavericks have been so impressive lately. They've been one of the top four teams in the West over the last two months. Not so much consistent at the start of the season, but they look great. Now Golden State has dropped four of their last five. I still think they're a great team. They can win any night of course, but Luca is playing at such a high level. He's in shape. He looks like all NBA Luca again. So I like Alice here. Ok, luka versus Steph tonight. Which props do you like between them? Well, the Warriors need a classic curry night. He'll want a big game. So I like Steph curry over 24 a half points. He's coming off a 34 point performance in Minnesota. But before that game his shooting percentage had slipped a little bit. But you never have to worry about his numbers though. This is a great night to have a big game for Steph. And then for Luca, I like over 9.5 boards at plus 100. He's usually matched up with the guards. So he has the advantage there with size. I think he'll get a lot of uncontested rebounds. Actually the warriors guards don't always crash the glass. So it's a good spot for him. We've got the national doubleheader tonight. It's another rematch from this week with the Lakers and the clippers. Now the clips got the better half the better of the disappointing leakers earlier this week. Do you think Lebron and Company get revenge tonight? Well, the Lakers Skid has to end at some point right there hearing all the noise literally with their crowd booing, which I think is horrible. Uh They're probably a little embarrassed. I would think Lebron James wants to get his guys ready to go tonight. There are 2.5 point underdog. So I do like them here. My husband used to play for the clippers in any time. It was in staples center or now a new name that those two teams facing off, there was just extra energy in the air. Um so as clippers, we always hated this game, it's still the staples center to me too by the way. So I'm glad we still, of course. Alright, Olivia, let's parlay it out for the folks at home. You've gone through all the matchups. What's the best one game parlay you've come up with for us tonight? Okay. It goes back to the Celtics game again. I like Celtics to cover Karen Jackson jr over 1.5, 3 pointers. That's at plus 1 65. I think Jackson's due for a good game. The last two games he's had under 10 points. So I think he's gonna want to get his scoring going early. He averages almost 17 points a game. So this has been really uncharacteristic. I think the Grizzlies will want to game plan him into the offense, get him going early like I said. And then this one is kind of random, but I like steven Adams over seven points at +105. He averages 9.2 over the last 10 games. He's very involved in this offense. So I think seven points is a gimme, we love the random ones from you, we take your word for it to always bring in a random one. Yeah, we love it. Alright, plenty of hoops to talk about these days? So let's break down some topics and our rapid fire buzzer beater, You ready for this per usual? Alright. Should the Lakers trade Lebron James or Anthony Davis? No neither. It's it's not good short term. I know but the Lakers have sacrificed a lot to get these two and Russell Westbrook, everyone else they've acquired and they want a title and I think people are forgetting that they want to title so recently. Um But no, a trade is not even in the conversation right now. According to jeanie Buss, Kevin Durant expected to be back tonight. How does that change? How you're betting the nets at home as Katy Ramsey backup from his M. C. L. Sprain. Well there's so much better with Katie on the court. He's the best pure scorer in NBA history. He changes everything they do, they're better on defense too because they can switch more when he's on the floor from an entertainment standpoint who have the three most exciting. Must watch players in the league been for you so far this season. Well the guy who we can't stop talking about john Moran of course he's like instagram Clickbait right there like he said, I think DEMAR DeRozan, he's having a resurgence with the bowls. He's also kind of going against the grain with the direction of the N. B. A. He takes so many two point shots when everyone else has taken threes and his percentages really high there and then lamelo ball. He plays with such joy. He's so advanced. He throws these alley oops all the time. He's just fun to watch. I like those three. That's a good one. I like that one last one for Olivia Allen Iverson tweeted a picture of his M. V. P. Trophy with a jam around jersey draped over it with the caption quote. Sooner or later john Grant is currently at 1100 to win M. V. P. This year realistically when will it be his time? Well let's take a second to appreciate how cool this tweet was. We continue to see ai loving and embracing this new generation of basketball which is refreshing A lot of former players do not as for jaw his time will definitely come. He's closing in as a candidate but I don't think it's realistic that he wins this year. Yokich and BD honest they're all established as favorites already but I love him. He's embracing a small market like a mini anasazi to compose his journey is the one that all the kids want. Now the NBA loves guys like him. His time will come. We always love a mini honest Olivia.
