Welcome back to you better, you bet. Brought to you by Bet MGM with Nicostos and Ken Barclay on the Bet QL network.

0:28.0

Good stuff there for my fellow Fordham Ram, Spiro Dietis with a call on TNT is the Boston Celtic swim.

0:33.0

But let's be honest, who cares that they won? I covered this bread and that's what matters. Special shout out to our pal Bogdanovich for only making one of three three pairs.

0:40.0

Yeah, I mean, what a cover losing at the start of the fourth and they covered seven and win by eight. Amazing cover for us. Really kind of needed that last night, especially was the way some of the hockey ones.

0:52.0

Rangers, what are they doing?

0:56.0

What is that team doing? Louie getting smoked losing. Yeah, getting smoked by a kerosmith in the New Jersey Devils is the answer to that question. So as a result of the Boston Celtics win.

1:06.0

Last night over the Atlanta Hawks and winning that series, they will advance to the second rounds of the Eastern Conference playoffs, where to well embied, we think.

1:13.0

And the Philadelphia 76ers away joining us right now to talk all things NBA playoffs and his Philadelphia 76ers.

1:20.0

They get ready to take on Boston game one coming up on Monday, like a full like nine days of rest for the sixers after sweeping the nets last weekend feels like it was 10 years ago last weekend joining us right now to break it all down as our good friend Alex Trishonson better known to you and yours as

1:38.0

Analyst for our friends over at bet us NBA. He is on Twitter at underscore noops. Noops. Welcome back to the show. Nick and Ken you better be better on a Friday. How's it going?

1:48.0

Happy Friday. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. And I'm excited for the playoffs series against the Boston Celtics here to Ellen Beats nice well up a little bit. I don't think that they found anything too majorly wrong with it, but if he can play and Tyrie's Max, he can be good. There's always a chance.

2:05.0

Yeah, the update basically like overnight right so the Celtics win that game and the first question for like everyone in the sixers is like isn't being going to play the sixers aren't telling you whether he's going to play as a right knee spray and obviously that they found but last week or a couple weeks ago.

2:20.0

Don't know if he's going to play in game one and and noops that that kind of makes like game one and the series pretty interesting. Why don't we do like the kind of the small scale part of this first, which is.

2:30.0

I think we're more confident he's going to miss game one based on the kind of like all the reporting the game one market right now the Celtics are between a seven and a seven and a half point favorite depending on where you go seven and a half at bed MGM seven juice toward Boston elsewhere.

2:44.0

The total in the game is 214 and a half and I think we might see some low totals in this series as well like game one and then we'll do series after this. Do you think MB plays do you think this market implies he does not play not that the market knows but like this is a him not playing number and do you want to bet anything in game one.

3:02.0

Yeah, I think kind of just a good place to start here it does strike me as an in beat outline for the most part you know it's in beat in for this game you look at the Celtics you know closer to maybe a four point favorite or five point favorites of the kind of an at range so.

3:20.0

I think this game tells you the market generally thinks in beat is out as far as that first game goes I'm really hesitant to put anything down because like you said.

3:29.0

You don't know what in beat is going to do I'm happy to wait until we 100% know but it does seem like there's a chance he misses the game because the fixers know they can drop one of these two games as long as they can get to game five basically to two or better they're in good shape so.

3:44.0

The first game I would probably look towards honestly Tyree's maxi prop if indeed not going to play he is the guy that's going to drive a lot of his series he is the scariest match up for the Boston Celtics I think outside of which OMB does they have a lot of good defenders but his speed could really be problematic so I'm going to look honestly for a lot of Tyree's maxi props in that first game.

4:04.0

Noob's I'm guessing you're going to want to wait and not do anything with this right now especially since you're six years fan maybe your Celtics fan be like I want to bet this maybe it's short if it's not going to be back maybe until game five you just said maybe it's a possibility here series price Celtics minus 350 sixers plus 260 on the series spread Celtics minus one and a half games minus 130 sixers plus one and a half games plus 110 are you looking to play the series at all now do you have a strategy of how you'd like to play the series Philadelphia and Boston.

4:34.0

I am at some point going to try to pick up a sixers bet I want to wait and see if a few more markets open and our friends at bed MGM sometimes put this up you can do something say for example Celtics to win the first game sixers to win the series I'm flipping right now to see if I can sort of find what that looks like and it looks like that's plus 500 I might play that for a little bit because it does look like a nice spot for Boston to start I'm also going to look at some sixers minus one and a half games that plus 450 again smaller wagers but if this series does go fill it up.

5:04.0

It's helping his way they likely close it in six at home I don't see them really winning a game seven in Boston it's definitely possible but if you're looking for sixers angles that would look for again something like Boston to win the first game sixers to win the series that was again right around plus 500 I think I said and then sixers minus one and a half games looking at it right now plus 450 MGM I think both of those are worth at least a smaller wager.
