Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yes, sir, welcome back to another edition of Fast Pray

(00:24):
bets zimby betting words. You know me, not the boys
and guys me really film Rock Sorel from in Junior.
Here at your sers.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Oh man, oh man, thank you, thank you whatever, Yes,
universe youuroverse, Yes, appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
What did I do to you know what? I was
in the airport and we were going from terminal terminal
and we were on the little trolley thing and there
was this older lady there and she walked up to
me and her friend was like hold on tight now,
and she looked like she was going to fall over

(01:46):
and like break into a million pieces. And so I
got up and I said, ma'am, you can have my seat.
And she said no, no, no, you don't have to. I
said no, no, please, seriously, I wouldn't I wouldn't feel comfortable.
You could have my seat. And my homeboy looked at me,
and I looked at him. He had the look of wow,
you just made me look horrible by doing that, and
I kind of laughed and I didn't think anything else

(02:08):
of it, and I went on about my day and
the lady like took the second to thank me again.
When we finally left. But this has to be that
good karma for that, because.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
What do you mean seven and oh on the week
play the recap card. I didn't even get the recap
what I did yesterday because I was talking about the
Knicks win and I didn't mention that we were three
and oh on the show yesterday. And then here nas
Reed goes off for nineteen points. Julius Randall gets us
there by the skin of our teeth eighteen points, and

(02:43):
so he stays under twenty and a half.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Cavon Looney comes in at the end of the game
and off. I think every single rebound he had was
office of rebound. Let me, he might have had one
defensive rebound in there, but I'm pretty sure every rebound
he had was office of rebound. And then the Warriors
Steph Curry goes down, has a big game, buddy, Heales
steps up, Jimmy flirts with a triple double, six and

(03:06):
a half. We didn't need those points.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
You can keep on, give me the money line.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
What what what has.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Been the past two days?

Speaker 1 (03:21):
I'm not questioning it. I'm not. I mean, I asked
a question, but I'm not questioning it. But I'm looking
at the account right now, and I'm just thank you
you first whatever, I appreciate it. Two more plays to
give out today, I'm sorry, I'm related. Two more plays

(03:44):
I have to get out today, and we're gonna get
to that, man. I mean, what what a what a
past two days to get out of that hole from
last week. I mean, oh man, that was what a
perfect read in that Warriors game, by the way, But
glad that I didn't force it to force the Cabs

(04:04):
game because of all of that. Matter of fact, let's
talk about the Caves right now, because in this week's
Microsoft's Chasing Challenges, we have to talk about the Cleveland
Cavaliers and what they have going on. So welcome to
this week's Chasing Challenge is brought to you by Microsoft.
Just like the athletes who push boundaries and redefine what's possible,
business decision makers today are turning challenges into opportunities. Microsoft

(04:29):
meets you where you are with tools and guidance that
help make an impact with safe secure AI solutions. Players
and teams are facing their own challenges. In this segment,
we spotlight a team that is currently undergoing a challenge
and what this means from a betting standpoint, and how
we can examine them to see if they can overcome

(04:51):
that challenge. Whatever you're facing, Microsoft empowers you with the
expertise to say, bring it on. And this week it
is the Cleveland Cavaliers who find themselves down on two
games to none after being the one seed, and so
now they have to go on the road. They have
to win two games in Indiana if they're even gonna
have a shot in this. Okay, so Game one, they

(05:22):
they they that was a butt kicking by the Pacers,
know nothing about it. Game two, the Cavs did everything
possible to give the Pacers the game. Now granted, and
I won't take this away from the Pacers. Pacers did
everything they could to stay in that game. They didn't

(05:43):
give up. They continued to fight. Tyrese Haliburton hit a
crazy shot at the end of the game, like they
did everything they could. But the Cavs also gave them
that game away. And so I understand that they got
them the first game, MOBILEI spraying his ankle, Hunter had

(06:05):
thumb injury, Garland didn't play. We still have not seen
this Pacers team, and it's crazy to think about it
because we're going into Game three of this playoff series,
and they played four games in the regular season, so
this is the seventh game they played. The Pacers have

(06:25):
not played the Cabs when they have had Spider, Garland Mobley,
Allen Hunter all playing. They haven't They have not played
them when they had all five of those guys playing.
I still think that that defensively can do something to

(06:47):
the Pacers. I think that actually can get them back
into the series. I don't want to fade the Pacers
anymore in terms of a long term standpoint here, and
so we're not gonna as much as I wanted to
make the betting tidbit for this segment. Hey, let's just

(07:09):
back the Cabs to come back in this series, because
I think they can if they have all of those
guys back. I don't know if all those guys are
coming back yet, so I don't want to tell you that,
but I'll tell you this, because if DeAndre Hunter comes back,
I can almost probably shoot. DeAndre Hunter is probably not
gonna be looking to shoot the basketball, and if he is,
he's probably not gonna be effective again. He fracted, not fractured,

(07:32):
dislocated his thumb, so that that's not something that's just
gonna go away in you know, a week like that.
That's something that's gonna be nagging him for a little
bit here, and I think that it's gonna alter his
shot a little bit. I think that it's something that
he doesn't necessarily need. When you think about this team

(07:52):
and how they're able to score. Yes, they like his contributions,
his corner threes and being able to score, get to
the foul line, all of that, but it's not it's
not necessarily a need defensively. What he brings is a
need and what they need in this series. And so
if DeAndre Hunter comes back, I will more than likely

(08:12):
be looking towards his unders. I will definitely be looking
towards his unders. I think if DeAndre Hunter comes back
into this series, he's not gonna have as much as
an impact as we would think offensively, and I think
that the defensive side of the ball is really where
they're gonna target with him, He's gonna expend all of
his energy, he's gonna have all of his focus there,

(08:33):
and then he's gonna be a vessel and just more
of Hey, let's continue to get the ball moving. Hey,
I may have my chance and opportunity here there to
be able to put the ball in the basket, but
that's not what I'm looking to do if he comes
back from this. So that's how I'm attacking this Cavs
team and DeAndre Hunter. If I see DeAndre Hunter is
playing in the game, I'm probably gonna take the under
or his points prop. So that's how I want to

(08:55):
do that, and we'll look forward. Let's see what happens.
We got a couple of days off until we see
this team playing in Indiana. So that is it for

ahead and get to it. It's really not too much
to talk about here because we kind of already played
both of these plays before. But I don't have a
play on the side or total of either game right now.

(09:39):
It's too large lines and I'm not fading the New
York Knicks. But I'm not taking the Knicks either, so
not giving you something there, but this is what I
have for you in the next game. I talked about
it in a livestream. If he didn't get to the
live stream, I'll mention it again here. We took josh
ar over pr earlier this week and it cashed well.
He didn't do as any favors with this part, and

(10:00):
it was really the points and rebounds that got us
home here, and so I'm gonna take it again. Josh
Art has been very very good against the Celtics. He
has been active against the Celtics. He has been a
ball of energy for the Knicks. He's out there rebounding,
doing everything, fighting for the glass, trying to box out
over there, making plays for his teams. And then he's
also giving what the Celtics give him, and he's taking

(10:23):
opportunities and he's being aggressive and scoring the basketball and
trying to not let them just walk all over them.
He's been very very good with this line against the Celtics,
as we talked about earlier this week. But just to
go over you look at josh Hart and what he's
doing for just points and rebounds. So I know we
talked a lot about the points, rebounds and assists, but
this time we are just focusing on points and rebounds.

(10:45):
And make sure you go get that betting pros app
if you haven't already, give me a follow over there
to ruber N. You can get all of this stuff
right there at your fingertips. Josh Shart has been over
twenty and a half points and rebounds in his last
four games straight. He's been over twenty and a half
points and rebounds in seven of his last ten games
against Boston. He likes this matchup. He's good against this matchup.

(11:06):
It is a matchup that they constantly concede to him
and he takes advantage of. So I'm gonna continue to
bet it again and again and again and again and again.
Josh hart over twenty and a half points and rebounds.
All right, play number two we have here is a prop,
that official prop that he sheet play, which is Isaiah
Hartenstein to yet again do what we had him doing earlier.

(11:28):
What was that on Monday? Yes, and that is going
over his points prop. Now it's at ten and a half.
It's even money now, so he's officially three and four
against tender because remember we had nine and a half,
he was four and four there. Well, now he's officially
three and four because he had a ten point game,
but he still had twelve points in that game that
he was in foul trouble, that he battled in foul

(11:50):
trouble in that game. Hopefully no foul trouble here, and
we have the bigs that are able to play a
little bit more free, have more motion and not feel
as restricted of hey, I can't make this move and
pick up another foul, or they're not sitting there playing
off the bench getting sporadic minutes because they're trying to

(12:10):
manage the fouls. Like no, hopefully this is a clean
game Isaiah Hartenstein. And even if it's not, we've seen
the floor floor is he's in foul trouble and he
still got to twelve points, So I like him to
go over ten and a half points here. I think,
actually I'm going to consider laddering this one here because
it was just too many easy looks for him where
they just dished off to Hartenstein down low and he

(12:32):
was able to just get an easy layup, like easy
points like those, those are the buckets that I like,
I'm not sitting there hoping that he's taken ten, twelve
eleven shots, like he can really take minimum amount of shots.
But the fact is they're going to be really really
good looks around the basket and he can get there.
So I like, I say, Hartstein here to be able
to get over his points prop yet again, he's been
really really good against Denver. That is a twelve point

(12:53):
four on the prop bet sheet sheet prop bet Analyzer
that gives you the projection for his points here and
a five start rating. I like Isaiah Hartstein yet again.
And so those are the two plays that I have
for you. Boom josh Ard over twenty and a half
pr and Isaiah Hartenstein over ten and a half points. Wow,

(13:15):
I mean, can we keep it going? Can we? Well,
let's see. I not trying to drink nothing, No, no, no,
that's not what I do. But let's see what happens.
But wow, what the past two days and we had
some amazing basketball games been at it at the same time.
