BetMGM Tonight — Tonight’s Basketball Bets Part II. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Great moments in sports. Michael Jordan is considered one of if not the best player to ever grace the courts of the NBA. His final game, Game 6 and the finals against the Utah Jazz, was TV's highest-graded game in all of NBA history. In the final moments of the game with under 42 seconds remaining, the balls were drilling the Utah Jazz 83-86. After a time out, Jordan got the inbound pass and drove to the hoop for a quick layup over several defenders making the score 85-86. In a clutch play, Jordan stole the ball from an unsuspecting car malone and stole the lead. Champion, shift number 6. Jordan open, shift combo with the lead. Michael pulls up and buries the shot to give him a one-point lead. That may have been who knows what will unfold in the next several months. But that may have been the last shot Michael Jordan will ever take in the NBA. Once again, Jordan was voted the finals MVP for a record sixth time.
105-7, the fan. The station voted most likely to be. Trying to drunk and stupid is no way to go through lifetime. Yeah. Sports Radio 105-7, the fan. Every score, every swing, every sharp take.

But we got a couple of NBA games on the docket tonight to finish off. Great matchups all throughout the night and including my beloved New York. Nickerbockers in Houston to take on the rockets here. And this is essentially a pick them tonight. You know, the next they enter this game here. The three seed in the east. Two games behind the Celtics, which if the first round of the playoffs goes chalk. That would mean Celtics next second round. If the nicks are able to jump Boston, they would have home court advantage in that series. They also have the Cavaliers hot on their heels only a game behind them for the four seed. And meanwhile, you got the Houston rockets right now. The six seed in the west, but only a half game behind Minnesota. Two games behind Denver. Four and a half games behind the Lakers. So feels like Houston does have a legit chance to climb as high as the four in the west.
But remember, they got Phoenix right on them. Three and a half games back for the play in tournament in terms of the injury news. None really to speak about. I mean, obviously Houston's been this entire season without Fred Van Fleet. They're starting point guard, which has been an issue for them. And for the New York Knicks, they're all healthy except for Landry Shammett who comes off the bench anyway. The nicks are off a back-to-back losses to the Hornets and the Thunder. Can they bounce back and take care of the rockets who have beaten the Pelicans and the Grizzlies their last two games? Knick one, Knicks won the first matchup last month when they came from nearly 20 points down in the third quarter to beat the rockets and a nail bider. I'm not so confident on the side here, Brad, just really quickly. The rockets have gotten torched by opposing team's point guards over the last 15 games. They give up the second most points in the NBA for the opposing point guard over that span. So if there's a night where Jaylen Brunson can go off, it would be tonight, in my opinion, over 24 and a half points. I like that one for Brunson. I think you could have a big game here against the rockets.
What do you like for this next rocket scheme tonight? Yeah, you know what's really odd about your New York Knicks team is usually known for its defense. And I really clamp it down along the perimeter. They have given up a boatload of threes here of late. So what does that mean? Katie for three. And I need exactly three main triples from Kevin Durant and I cash in at plus one 15. Now the next I have a lot of the fifth most May three pointers to the opposition of our last in games, giving up 15.9 per contest right around 38% from way downtown. They look at Durant. He is flash at least a trio of threes and four of his last six games. He shooting 43.8% from along the arcade of the month of March. And the last time he faced the Knicks back in late January, four for ten. So just a match that effort and I'm cash in it because all he need is three main threes from Kevin Durant at plus one 15.
Yeah, and the next day they have ironically they've done a pretty good job with the positions posing positions on the floor, except for the small forward position. Katie famously the three, the stretch three wing for the rockets and obviously every other team he's played for. And that's the one position that has given the next trouble. So I could see Katie burning my New York Knicks tonight for sure. I really quickly late one tonight in LA, the Lakers and the Cavs, Lakers again, the three seed in the West, the Cavaliers, the four seed in the East, a big piece of injury news. You know, this may be the LeBron Bull obviously played for the Cavs when the title with them started his career there as a lustrious career. We think there's a chance he might go back to Cleveland after the season ends because he's going to be a free agent. He might not even play tonight. He's questionable and this is a back to back for the Lakers. So maybe this is a rest night. I mean against the Cavs. Come on LeBron, no load management tonight. Either way, I think these are two teams that have been exceptionally well on offense.
They're both got some defensive question marks. And despite it being a back to back for both sides here, I think we're going to see a ton of points tonight. So I think there's going to be incredible shot making defense will be optional. I like the over 234 and a half in this game. Whether or not LeBron plays because Lucas coming back after his one game suspension because of the 16th technical foul. So I like the overnight lot of points between these two teams. And I am buying what you were selling me me go. Give me also and Reeves six or more assists at a plus one of five little babies. It is by the juice there at bed MGM. Cleveland has a lot of the 10th most opponent is his per game in the last 10 at 28.7 during that stretch. And look at Reeves. He's dropped a half dozen dimes in seven games a month of March. Average in just shy of this number. This month at 5.9 if a LeBron doesn't play. It only increases the probability of this cash and Reeves six or more assists a plus one of five. Love it. All right, very good.
We didn't get a chance to talk about a lot of the pitching matchups tonight in baseball. It is worth mentioning. Shohei Otoni expected to make his first start of the season tonight on the mound. So we'll talk about that game later on. It's not for a couple of hours. But coming up next our Odyssey sports NBA insider Nick Freedell. He joins Brad Evans and myself.
