Welcome back to cheddar bets brought to you by bet. Mgm. It's time now for a new game we like to call, Who's betting line is it anyways where we pull up a similar project, deadlines put them against each other and ask our expert which bet they think is worth taking. But unlike that other roll show you might have heard of the points do matter in this one we'll be keeping tabs on our expert picks. Let's welcome back in Alex Glaze. So Alex let's start with the big No right let's start with the biggest game of the night tonight. The Bucks and the nets who are now at full strength Katie versus Jonah's matchup. Who's the better bet on the point total tonight? KD at 30.5 or Janice at 31 a half, man. Well I think they're both gonna have big games but I'm gonna go with Janice here um make it a little more difficult for myself. Uh Janice hasn't gone over 31 a half points in either meeting against the nets uh this year. But last time out he had 29 points, shot 40% from the floor. So I think Janice's it's worth a shot here. The Bucks are playing pretty well. I'm with you with you on that one. So next up we've got points plus assists. Where the two former MVPs share a line of 36 a half what's the better bet? This is the one I'm going with K. D. For this one. Katie has big games against Milwaukee. That's just what he does. 29 points in five straight games against the Bucks has had six or more assists. Also in three of his last five meetings against Milwaukee. So I'm expecting a big game from Kevin Durant. Well the other stars, Kyrie, Irving and Chris Middleton have had some intriguing lines for threes made tonight. Kyrie over 3.5, threes will return you plus money while Middleton only had to hit three to cash his over. So what's the better side of this matchup? I like Kyrie over 3.5 and I think you're getting a lot of value at plus 1 15. He's gone over that number in five of the last seven games for the nets and the Bucks really struggle to defend the three there bottom of the league in an opponent's threes per game. So I think there's a lot of value here with Kyrie at plus 1 15. Wait can I just say I'm not surprised you're going with Kyrie but I went to his debut on sunday night and I thought he stunk it up. I know he did a little bit better on Tuesday. He lets you down. That means big big bounce back spot. That's true, that's true. All right. Last one let's switch it up to the matchup in the shy tonight between DEMAR DeRozan and Paul George. They're both laying around 30.5 points plus rebounds tonight. Who's the best bet I'm gonna go with DeRozan. um and his over um he's gone over that number and back to back games and just in one meeting against the clippers this year he had 35 points and seven rebounds. So I think that DeRozan can get it done in this spot, but it's tough because it is paul George but I just don't don't quite trust PU 13 Just yet. He hasn't been, he hasn't had enough time back yet. Alright, let's get to the best of the rest on the board tonight. What pics from? But MGm sports book are you hot on or bullish on tonight? Yeah, yeah. So I'm really bullish on the Hawks laying 5.5 points. Um they're looking to clinch a playoff berth. They haven't done that quite yet technically, even though, I mean they kind of have but not mathematically. Um they won three straight and have covered in five of their last seven games. I think this is a good spot for them. They've covered in 53% of their games this season when they are a home favorite. So I'm looking for them to handle business and cover the number tonight and I'm also going to the ice with the AVS on the puck line 1.5. Listen, I'm gonna go with the AVS tonight. This is the third meeting between the AVS and the Sharks and the AVS won both meetings by two goals or more. Um They have a huge home ice advantage where they have a plus 1 51 goal differential And this is the second game of a back to back for the Sharks where they have not been good this season with just a +12 and one record on the second game of a road back to back. So a tough spot for the Sharks. So what do you bearish on and staying away from tonight? I am staying away from the Lakers and what I think is a little bit of bait and the 13 points. Um the Lakers have only covered in four of their last 10 games, have failed to cover and back to back games. No Lebron, Anthony Davis is doubtful. This is a ton of points in an NBA game, but it's easier to bet that because of the slump that the jazz had been too, but I am just off on the Lakers completely so that could hit. I don't care. I'm going to protect my mental health. Just stay away anyone else that you're off on tonight. Yeah, I'm also often the sixers and against the pistons. The pistons have surprisingly been one of the best teams against the spread since the all star break going 14 and four against the spread since the break. Uh so I'm I'm not standing in front of that train. That's for sure. Alright. And last but of course not least super quickly. What is your absolute lock that we can take all the way to the bank tonight, Kevin Durant over 5.5 assists. He's had five assists in all but one game this month and has gone over 5.5 assists and 10 of his last 12 games. Um I'm expecting a big game from Kevin Durant, like I said earlier in the show, um and he's had six or more assists in three of his last five meetings against Milwaukee, So over 5.5 assists for Kevin Durant Tonight. Alright, Alex, we love to hear it. Thank you so much for jumping on. We're excited to have you in studio soon. To our thank you again to our sports betting expert, Alex Glaze.
