It is Monday, January 18, 2021, and this is the early edge powered by Sportsline.

I am the coach and a very happy Martin Luther King Jr. holiday to you.

Now, I know a lot of you out there like, my kids are going to be home from school today.

We have just the antidote for you. There's going to be home from school today we have just the antidote

for you there's going to be sports and basketball all day long so after a rough sunday at least

on props here on the show i decided i was going to go out and get our absolute best basketball

cappers that i've gotten my stable that's exactly what i've done so let's bring them in right now because we do this show every single day before 11 a.m. And it's 10 minutes.

The clock starts now, M squared right below me. Good morning, sir.

Good morning. We're ready for about 12 hours of basketball on the couch today. It's going to be a great day.

Yeah, it was a good week on Sportsline. Glad to have a bounceback week. You're damn right.

We are. And then the man, our rock, our legend. He is the bistro. Larry Hartstein. Larry, good

morning. Good morning, coach. Yeah, whiffed on the props, but had a nice six and two overall day on Sportsline.com. Let's keep it rolling.

Who would have known that Patrick Mahomes is going to go down four yards short of his prop?

Prayers to him that he'll be back for an incredible AMC championship.

And we'll get to that game on Sunday.

But we're here every single day.

So our first game on the board today, we're going straight to the National Basketball Association. In Miami, the Heat are hosting the Pistons.

Three Eastern Tip, M Squirt, start us off.

I'm looking at the Detroit Pistons plus six here.

So this team continues to be undervalued,

especially in another matchup here where Jimmy Butler will not be available for the Miami Heat.
