on the road at BYU. They lead 5228. They're laying 11 and a half in game. USC's at UCLA.

Bruins with a lead of 6, 2923 with 336 to go in the first half in that game. Nevada leads

New Mexico 21-20, but New Mexico's laying one and a half right now in that contest. And then the

NBA, one late game I really care about. The other one I'm going to lose a bet on so it's dead to me. But Minnesota does lead Portland 96-94 as we enter the fourth quarter. Then the Lakers on top of the magic, 65 to 53. Lakers laying 10 and a half in-game total, 219 and a half. To make sense of all the action from tonight in the NBA to look ahead to the Wednesday card, we're now going to go to the progressive guest line. Welcome in our buddy Michael Fiddle, contributor at Yahoo Sports, the Action Network, NBA handicapper at Fiddle's Picks on X, where you can get all the information for his NBA betting show up at Fiddle's Picks,, Wednesday, and Friday. He joins us now on the progressive guest line. How we feel in tonight, man? We're in the home stretch of the second half now. I bet a Cavaliers future. And I remember when we talked about a week or two ago, you were also on a Cavaliers' future. So seeing a Cavalaliers Knicks game tonight, you got to be feeling

pretty good about it. As the Knicks start going the other way, the Pistons yesterday get whacked

by the Spurs. Now they have a very daunting schedule coming up. The Pistons have this OKC Thunder

tomorrow. Then they have back to back against the Cavaliers, and then they got one at San Antonio

as well. So two against the Cavs, O KC, and San Antonio coming up for the Piston. So Cavaliers

futures looking bright and, you know, shining upon us. Yeah, look, I think I'm going to double

dip. So I have them six to one to win the east, but I don't have any title futures. They're 12 to one right now. And tonight felt like a statement because it's the third meeting between the Knicks and the Cavaliers. Opening night, Christmas Day, the Knicks got the better of Cleveland, who really haven't been at 100 percent. And they also didn't have James Hardin yet. Now they come out. They decimate the Knicks today, 109, 94. And I don't think it was really as close as far apart as the score would indicate in this game. Talk to me about the Knicks because I declared them dead a week ago. Maybe there was a little bit of life today if they could have pulled something off and made me believe again. But I don't think they're in the same class as the top three teams in the Eastern Conference, being Cleveland, being Boston, and being Detroit. Do you think that's a fair assessment of the Knicks right now?

Yeah, I think it is a fair assessment of the Knicks right now. To give the Knicks some credit

and credence to their chances here going down the back half of the season and into the playoffs,

they've been shooting horribly. And I think their shot quality metrics are a lot better

than what they're actually putting up in numbers.

So I do believe there is some shooting variants simply going against them.

But from a playoff standpoint, they just lack some of the physicality that you'd want.

I mean, Brunton's a small guard who gets a little picked on.
