Game one of the NBA finals is in the books, and now we try to beat the books with our best

bets for game two.

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to the Early Edge, brought to you by BetMGM.

Make it legendary.

We got to get going with Larry Hartstein, Mike Barner, and Adam Thompson.

Larry, I'm going to start with you. Like I said, game one in the books, this is going to be a best betts show for game 2. But I did notice, Larry, that the series swing from a price standpoint, it swung a little bit further than I thought. The Knicks are now minus 140 to win it all. The Spurs over at Bed MGM plus 118, just some initial thoughts before we get into

picks. Yeah, and Jalen Brunson now favored to win the MVP as he should after getting 30 points

despite the injuries, despite not shooting well. But guys, I think this still has the chance to be a

classic series. The Spurs are going to come back and win game two on their home floor. I am

totally convinced of that. Not saying whether they cover, but they are going to even this series. The spurs are going to come back and win game two on their home floor. I am totally convinced of that. Not saying whether they cover, but they are going to even this series. Then the Knicks will win their first home game, first home finals game in what, you know, 30 plus years. They're going to win that game, game three at the garden. And then it's going to come down to game four, which I think will be tight. And then that will swing the series. If the Spurs get that, I believe we're going seven. If the Knicks get that, we're going six, and MSG and New York takes home the title. Mikey B, I like how we just kind of put all the emphasis on Game 4. I like how we're plotting that out. We're going to have final shows, by the way, for each of these games.

But Mikey B, I want to ask you this, Spurs at plus 118, maybe plus 120. Is that tantalizing to you at all?

It is because we saw last night, Jalen Brunson went down twice. He came back twice.

If he goes down again and doesn't come back, then things completely changed for the Nick's side of things. So at plus money, I think that's worth the risk. Adam Thompson, the flip side of that argument, of course, is that, well, yeah, he did go down. He went to the locker room and the Knicks still held their own against the San Antonio Spurs. What are your thoughts on the plus 120 or plus 118 on the spur side? Yeah, I mean, there's obviously

value there. They're a great team offseason. And New York teams typically get a little overvalued

than real life. We see it in the NFL all the time with point spreads with the Giants and Jets.

But, you know, they've looked great. They've won 12 straight now. Nobody has figured them out to a long term. Game two is going to be really interesting. You know, the Spurs need to win this one. But the Knicks are, you know, the Knicks have taken the best shots of other teams in game two's as well. Knicks haven't lost the basketball game in a very long time. Larry, go ahead. And the two losses came by one point to the Hawks. Yeah. So when you're looking at the spread, it's very attractive. I mean, who would have thought? The Atlanta Hawks gave the Knicks the best challenge throughout these playoffs. And for now, that does include the Spurs. It's wild. All right, obviously the Spurs are going to bounce back. Let's talk about some of the big name players and some of their points, props, before we get

into our official plays and some plays on sides and totals, things of that nature. Wembe is still sitting

at 27 and a half. Adam Thompson, your thoughts on his point total. Well, for game one, Mike and I sat here and both liked the under on 26 and a half and he finished

at 26 points.

And it was a tough 26.

Six of 21 shooting for him.
