Hey, everybody.

Welcome to Prop Points.

Jeff Erickson, Nick Whalen here.

Welcome to the show.

We've got a big show today.

We're going to be talking NBA props with Nick Whalen, but it's also a master's theme show. Two great guests, Len Hockberg and Gary Williams, joining us. We'll wrap up the show talking to my favorite MLOB props as well. Make sure to download the Prop points podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your podcast. Nick, it's a busy, busy slate on the NBA. Final week of the regular season. Always a little dicey to find, you know, good playing time information there. We just got big news on Minnesota, for instance, going up against Orlando. A lot of their key players sitting today. Yeah, we've had some big breaking injury news in the NBA just in the last 15 minutes or so. So we got some lines on the move, including that Minnesota Orlando game. We've had a three point swing in that line. And oftentimes you'll look at a game and you'll say, that seems a little short or that seems a little long. You know, you wonder if there's been some injury information out there that maybe is not public yet.

I don't know if that was the case here.

You know, this came as somewhat of a surprise.

I know it's a back to back for the Minnesota Timberwolves won easily against Indiana last night. And they are basically almost mathematically locked into the six seed in the Western Conference. but they're going to hold out Anthony Edwards, of course,

who's missed some time lately, Julius Randall, Iyo Dissumu,

also going to be out tonight.

There's a chance Rudy Gobert could still play.

We'll see. He's listed as questionable, but certainly a reduced version of the Timberwolves.

And that bodes well for Orlando because still so much to be decided. We have like five nights

worth of games, I believe, left in the NBA. And the five through nine spots in the Eastern Conference pretty much still up for grabs. Orlando currently occupying the 8C, but they're only a half game up on Charlotte. They're only two games behind the Atlanta Hawks for the five. They're one game behind Toronto for the six spot, which of course would get them out of the plan.

So a nice break on paper at least for the Orlando Magic.

And then the other one, Jeff, we've seen some line movements in Buck's Pistons. This was 18 and a half this morning in favor of Detroit, now up to 20 and a half on the news that

Kate Cunningham expected to make his return later tonight.

Doesn't really impact how I think this game specifically plays out. But this is huge. This is huge for the Detroit Pistons to get Kate Cunningham some reps, to get him his win back quite literally before the playoffs. Because Detroit has a long break coming up, right? Like they're not worried about the play. And they won't even know their opponent until later next week, but they might not play their first playoff game until next Sunday. So if Kate Cunningham could come back and even just play limited minutes in a couple of games, that is invaluable as far as working him up and not just going in cold to game one of round one. Yeah, especially because you know, they've got the, you know, they'll have that little time off while the playing tournament's happening too. So, you know, you're not going to, you want to get these reps in now ahead of time. So you're not coming in cold there. I really like it there. I really like that news for Detroit. Remarkably good job there on getting through this stretch without Cunningham playing a tough schedule, clinching that number one seed. They faced the Bucks tonight. The Bucks embarrassingly lost to the Brooklyn Nets, a team

that did not want to win. Devastating win for the Nets, really, when they're trying to lock up

a bottom spot in the standings there. The takeathon stuff still fascinates me. I think maybe it's because my team is a tanking team.
