More best bets for the night in sports. It's the end of our week because guess what? We do things a little bit different here at the brand. So we are fires up laser focused on basketball after an amazing weekend in the NFL. Let's bring in the stars of the show. We're going four wide today. We've got the speculator. We've got EC. We have Mikey B. We have no time to waste. |
| 1:00.0 | My man, KC. in the chat says, can't wait for speculators play. Well, it's just play. But you |
| 1:08.2 | don't have to wait any longer, KC. Speculator, start us off. Let's go. |
| 1:11.6 | Yeah, let's start off strong. And we're going to start with the Hawks at the Bowls under 239 and a half total. |

| 1:51.7 | more scoring this season. If you take the median line for just this month of January, |
| 1:55.8 | you're looking at 235. Both of those lines are significantly under what this line is for two, as we just said, |
| 2:02.9 | median level teams. |
| 2:04.1 | Add in the fact that the Chicago Bulls are the lowest three point attempt rate in the league, |
| 2:09.3 | kind of deflating their value on the total. |
| 2:12.4 | I just don't see why this line is this high. |
| 2:14.8 | That's why we're going Hawks and Bowls under 239.5. |
