Let's do this thing We're taking it off and we're getting right to game one Boston is in San Francisco to take on the Warriors tip time 9 Eastern on ABC Let's bet this thing guys dubs giving four here and we're gonna get all of your picks to start us off Dave You are up Well, I mean the Warriors know the importance of winning a game one you look at what they've done so far in this post season They beat Denver by 16 in game one They went on the road and they had to beat Memphis in game one and then they blew Dallas out by 25 the nerves are gonna be there for the Celtics everybody knows that they've never been in the situation This is old hat for the Warriors So I think they have a huge advantage and also in being at home Boston hasn't started their series very well They beat the Nets by one and then they lost their next two game ones by double digits So I think this is a good spot for the Warriors to get out to a quick start in this series Here are two more things to keep in mind as far as why the Warriors will have a significant advantage in this game one First off, they are rested rest matters more than rust They've had a few more days off and they played two fewer playoff games that matters in this situation Look at what Boston looked like at the end of game seven They were absolutely banged up Golden State a good bit fresher and speaking of freshness They are getting some reinforcements back in all likelihood guys like Otto Porter, Jr Who's huge for that second wave adding 9.4 points for 100 possessions Gary Peyton the second may also be coming back He forces just as many turnovers as anybody Andre Iguodala perhaps a bigger question, but still an outstanding spot-up shooter the Reinforcements who will return for the Warriors will give Steve Kerr a lot of different options and that's why I think they win handily Not totally disagree with you guys I think the Celtics are gonna cover this spread and win the series. I'm very confident in them I look at who the Warriors have played and beaten Denver was a one-man team in Yolkic John Moranke got hurt in the next round. We know Dallas fluke They beat Phoenix the Suns were the best team in the Western Conference all year look Boston No finals experience, but battled tested in these playoffs seven and two on the road This is the best offensive team that the Warriors have seen all put playoffs all season really frankly And I think it shows in this game They won in Golden State earlier this year and they're gonna win game one tonight So pony's good for the contrarian. I love it. All right, you know what take that plus money What 142 there on the money line for Boston? Here we go around the horn again and this time We're gonna focus on the total guys the line on the Fandalsports with cap right now It's there on your screen 212 and a half so guys will the teams combine total points go over or under that number and Dave I'm gonna come right back to you. How are you playing it? Yeah, it feels a little low to me the 212 and a half but when you factor in Boston's defense is what it is you go back to that heat series and The combined total average throughout those seven games was a hundred ninety points, but they're not playing the heat They're playing the Warriors. They know how to put up points in this postseason. They have Eclipse to 120 points six times already I think that the Warriors are you get into the teens 115 116 maybe 120 So that only means the Celtics need to get to you know, right around a less than a hundred if that's the case So I'm taking the over even though respecting Boston's defense They haven't seen what the Warriors can do and it's gonna be a high-scoring one I think at least for the warrior side that home to yeah This is the best offense that Boston has faced all playoff song I think there's no doubt about that whatsoever I always make a beeline for pay stats whenever I'm looking at totals and this is what I did I looked at Otto Porter and Gary Payton the second in terms of them Possibly returning for this game one and if they do that means the pace will go up for the Warriors We've also seen some sloppy passing at times from Boston and from Golden State as well That can also lead to transition baskets really from both offenses. And so the combination of potentially Sloppy passing that could lead some some breakaways plus the presence of reinforcements amping up the pace a little bit I also love the over here Yeah, I'm going under I need to that's got to be the game script for Boston to win the game They're not intimidated by the Warriors you saw what Marcus smart did to step curly curry early in the year I got some people upset like Steve Kerr. I love that. They got a rim protector and Robert Williams provided He goes which I think he will tonight. So you've got the front court defense the back court I just think Boston is very underrated in this spot because everybody's resting on their laurels thinking all the Warriors That have been there done that team. So I'm taking this game to go under and that helps Boston win Great stuff guys. That's a look at two of the most popular bets on the board right now the spread and the total We have plenty more coming up on the show including our guys picking some player props and their series winner Who will be raising the Larry O'Brien trophy that is coming up But first I want to tell you about a free contest with a $50,000 prize pool basketball bingo presented by Hulu plus live TV is Easy to play and you can enter right now All you have to do is log on a fandal comm slash Hulu dash NBA dash bingo before tip-off of tonight's game You'll get a virtual bingo card This squares the thing that could happen during tonight's Celtics Warriors game now as the game plays out when you Get a bingo click on the call bingo button on your virtual card the first 6200 people to call bingo we'll get a share of that $50,000 prize pool in the form of site credit such a fun throwback Make sure you get your card to play the free basketball bingo presented by Hulu plus live TV contest for your chance to win A share of that $50,000 prize pool sign up again at the website on your screen right there It's fandal comm slash Hulu dash NBA dash bingo and remember to enter before tip-off tonight 9 p.m Eastern time and good luck All right team. Let's get back to betting tonight's game and start right from the beginning here Which player will score the first basket of the game? This is a popular prop bet available right now in the fandal sports with cap and includes Does include free throws so definitely keep that in mind guys You see the odds right there on your screen Dave Which player do you think will score the first point of the game with a decent price in here? I'm going with number 22 been so impressed with Wiggins throughout the Western Conference finals He's not afraid to shoot that you need somebody that that wants to take that first shot. He's not afraid to do it You know, I think the odds are pretty good and even Looney has been making some of those first buckets as well So maybe we can get some prices in this one What'll make this series interesting is that Boston does have some significant size here And I do think they're going to win the tip and I think Boston can win and get points in that first possession So I want to feed it to the big guy to kind of beat that smaller lineup by Golden State So how about going after Robert Williams at nine to one there? And now you're finally speaking my language at the same thing I like the Williams matchup because what is Looney for real? I mean he was unbelievable against Dallas I don't buy it because fabrics have serious inside problems So I see Williams either maybe not a possession in the post But I see a second chance basket here an offensive rebound that leads to the game's first score All right guys from the first basket to the first quarter now Let's focus on which team will be ahead after the first 12 minutes of play the first quarter spread as a warrior is giving Half a point Dave first quarter pick go I mean to me chase center is gonna be rocking the nerves of the Celtics in their very first finals game for all these guys It's gonna take its toll. I think it is first 12 minutes. So I think the Warriors jump out quick I actually see value in Boston getting here in large part because look Golden State Yes, they are fantastic and could very well get a blowout here But all of their adjustments tend to happen at halftime and in the third quarter I think that's when they start to pull away, but at least in the early going I think Boston can cover this Dave I think I'm starting to come over to the dark side. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, I know I hear a little heads towards Boston here with that pick it would be a Charles Barkley I'm taking Boston to I see a formula very similar to game to a Dallas Golden State where Golden State comes out flat and they've got to recover later in the game to try to make up for that Chuck will appreciate that shout out by the way, Pony All right That is just one of a bunch of bets that you can make on a quarter or a half Just head to the Fandalsports with gap check those out for some really good value bets that you can place right now And some of the most popular wagers available on the Fandalsports book our player props you guys know that So we're gonna hit some of the big-name players and go rapid-fire style because it is our jam All right guys everybody's back in here guys. I'm gonna throw out a prop bet I'm gonna ask two of you to tell me if you're going over or under that number And we're gonna start with Steph Curry because why not Dave and Ed? This is you his point total is 27 and a half Dave over under I'm going over. I mean, this is what Steph Curry does He lives for the finals hanging 30 at home is what I think he'll do in all of those games But especially in game number one, I think to be draining it's been a while for him to get back in this spot I think it's gonna be so hyped out there and he's gonna have this crowd rockin. I'd say he scores 34 I hope someone mutes pony for my answer here because I'm going under. I think it's two points too high I see it closer to say 25 That's what the models are suggesting in large part because look Steph Curry is not the same three-point shooter that he was During this dynasty, but he is a much better assist guy. I think that's gonna be his real value in this game one I'm going under this number Okay, let's move on now. I was waiting for pony, but pony you're good job All right now the Celtic superstar Jason Tatum and pony and Dave this one is for you over under 28 and a half points for Tatum pony your turn I'm going over Dave. You really buy Andrew Wiggins your whole argument for the Warriors is Experience-based this guy doesn't know his way around that NBA finals and he's gonna get the he's gonna get the Tatum Over here that's one basket Okay, I'm going under because this is something that it just nerves are real pony You remember the first time you did this show on more ways to win your hands were shaken like this, you know, it happens Okay, I think Tatum is gonna have a little bit of a rough start here And it's gonna be too much of a gap to close late and get those points I'm gonna say under all right Let's focus on three pointers now guys Ed and pony for you over or under three and a half Three-point field goals for clay Thompson Ed. What do you think? Well, I think playing with Gary Payton the second is actually gonna be good for clay because I think it's going to create a lot More open looks he's effective field goal shooting is north of 61 percent and those kinds of lineups And so I feel like that all those open looks eventually some are going to fall So I'm gonna take the over here And you love these bench guys for the Warriors these eighth not the eighth man and ninth man coming back for them No, I'm going under he had eight threes in his last game. So everybody's thinking you got to go over here He's right off from three not happening going under here. All right now. Let's be under okay Okay, going under for pony not a Jaylen Brown the line for Brown two and a half three pointers made Dave and Ed this is for you. Which way are you going Dave? You're first Well, it's all about anticipating how many threes that he's going to take if he takes 10 like he did in game against Milwaukee He's gonna hit that number, but the last two games against Miami total of eight in the last two games making only one in each game So I think the trend right now is he's gonna attack. He's gonna might make most of his baskets inside the arc I'm gonna take the under it is a tight number only 35 percent of Brown shot attempts this season worth threes And so I feel like the number is about right, but I also think Boston could be trailing significantly in this third quarter So they're going to hoist a lot more threes and I figure okay a couple of them will fall I'll take the over and you guys know this you can bet on almost any stat including assists Dave and pony how about dream on green over or under five and a half assists here in game one pony That is a lot for a guy. That's not a point guard. I mean that is a ton I know he had nine in his last game, but I just don't see the ball and dream on greens hands enough for him to Go over that number. I'm going under here Lisa unequivocally, this is my best bet of the entire show of this game Pony when the NBA finals start this guy just a light clicks and he turns into an assist machine the last 10 Not just his last game when you mentioned he had nine, but that's last 10 NBA finals game He's averaging nine the last time he played in the NBA finals. He had 13 Against the Raptors. Yeah, it was a couple years ago But he just has a knack for for getting assists in these finals I think five and a half is a gift. He'll get I think he's gonna get at least 10 actually compelling arguments Let's focus on rebounds here over or under nine and a half rebounds for Al Horford Ed and pony We're gonna your takes an Ed coming at hot and you're first. What's up? Okay, so I know the numbers in terms of transition offense have not been too kind to Golden State at least for these playoffs But we know what they're capable of in terms of running it out and getting fast and upping that tempo And so to me Boston cannot commit too much in the offensive rebounding because if they do Golden States gonna make them pay I see an under here. All right, awesome stuff I'm going under too because I think I could see Horford getting pulled out of this game for Williams I think the up-and-down nature of the game means we might see the other big man play off the bench for Boston. I Thought I was gonna have to break up a fight there. So I just you know what I'm just I was I'm here for it though Awesome stuff guys. There are hundreds of fun player prop beds from ones We just previewed to others like whether a player will make or miss his first shot his first free throw and how he'll score his first Points now. There's a reason why Fandle is the number one sports book in North America We give you the most and best chances to win. It's all on the app and new users Don't forget to get your 200 bucks free just for betting with us Of course, there are a ton of game props as well. So we'll showcase a couple of them right here guys same drill I'm gonna ask a couple of you to give me your pick We're gonna start with Ed and Pony here guys, which team will get to 25 points first Ed I do feel like that Boston because they have the size advantage at the wings that they are going to cause a couple of problems at Least in the early going like I said before this is a situation where Golden State's adjustments will be in the second half Not in the first half. I think Boston can take advantage and get to 25 first Yeah, I think I think Tatum's gonna have a game that gets talked about for years to come So I think he's gonna have 20 in the first quarter help him get to 25 I think he might go for 50 tonight Dave a big 5-0 Dave's got a different prop here Dave and Ed This is for you over under 108 and a half points for the Warriors and Dave you are up. Yeah, I like the over I think they'll they'll hit this number pretty handily I'm gonna say they get closer to 120 than even the 110 So I'm this would be one of my strong plays over Warriors will be crashing the boards Significantly 27 and a half percent as far as that's concerned. They will get those second chance points take the over All right, guys, so we previewed a bunch of fun bets here spread totals props and all the Fandals sportsbook app You can combine those to form what's called a same-game parlay. You know that you also know it drastically Increases your payout guys instead of me asking you certain wagers here I want you to give me a three leg same game parlay explain What your pick is and why you're making each pick Dave I'm gonna start with you give us your SGP for the Celtics Warriors matchup tonight game one What's it? What's it looking like? Yeah, the same game probably so fun because you can really find So many different ways to make it pay. So for instance, let's start with the with Horford This is just a simple one. It's kind of just a 50-50 shot I don't think he's gonna score 11 points in this game since he got that career high playoff 30 points game 4 against the Buxies only hit this number twice out of his nine games since then so That's going too much right now. I'm gonna say he goes under let's focus on dream on green and his total for the assist Remember was five and a half, but I think it's gonna get ten. Look what that does to that number That's plus six fifty so this is really gonna juice up the same game parlay and I'm gonna end by Steph Curry hitting at least Five three so you can bet him to make one three two three three four I say he's gonna hit five he does that in his sleep. Look what I'm getting here 38 to 100 dollars is gonna get me back to shy for grand You know when we do football I do a lot of you know alternate spreads alternate totals And I'm gonna do that once again here, and I am so excited to be able to do this. It's so fun Okay, Jason Tatum Alternate over five and a half assists. I do feel like yes We'll get some baskets in there But I think it'll be more of a distributor because Boston will probably be going deep to try and find those six seven guys some offense Then I like clay Thompson alternate over four and a half rebounds You don't think of them as much of a rebound guy But multiple guys will be crashing the boards here And I feel like Thompson will be one of those and then Jordan pool alternate over three and a half assists You put it all together and you're getting close to ten to one Hmm. I like that one Ed You know I petitioned John Sheeran to have a special prop Draymond Green to kick somebody in the groin in the finals Ed Dave he's done that before yes, but I got shut down. So this is what I got instead. Let's start with Thompson Under points here sweltering defense. He's not going over 20 after his hot shooting to knock Dallas out my next one Draymond Green. I'm fading you Dave under everything with Draymond Green. You better believe it Okay, he's not gonna have a rent a finals reminiscent of what he did against Toronto when all of Golden State was injured at that series Not the case now and then my last one smart under rebounds Why because he's going to be playing defense right up in curry not giving him any space to shoot plus 683 same game parley So much shade. How do you feel about that fade Dave? No, he's not fading me. I hope he has zero points in 30 assists I don't care about the points that I just need assists anyway So that happens a lot with him. That's fine. And plus the mark is smart thing They'll be doing so much switching for curry like why are you focusing on just one guy like it's going to be everybody It's a team effort taking so much wind out of his sales by the way He was like all about like yes, I'm getting tuned. How about this Dave face?

Dave. Which team do you like? Well, you know, we like to stay out here in california west is best You're learning that lisa, you know, you've come out here to california now x amount of times This is where champions are made whether it be down here in la or up in northern california with the words This is a tough spot for boston being on the road in game one and two I think the warriors get out to a quick start here jump out 2o And you know, if they just take care of business to chase center, they're gonna get this job done But I think they'll also win in boston. So I don't think it's gonna go seven I think the warriors win it pretty handily boston is dealing with a real exhaustion problem here They've been playing seven guys in the playoffs pretty much, uh, all you know playoffs long Meanwhile, golden state has all this mix and match Inversatility all this switching that they can do on the key offensive guys I feel like that all of these weapons and all of these decisions that steve kurt can have at his disposal I think that's going to be the difference. We haven't even talked that much about jordan pool His usage rate has been pretty pretty high. Uh, you know kevon loonies assist rate has been really underrated There's so many good gifts that the backup guys present that they're going to make stef and clay and draymond look fantastic I've got the warriors winning this thing Series on paper honestly reminds me of when, uh, detroit upset the lakers and shack and kobe where one team was so defensive minded You know, this team boston is more of a star than that team did But it was an upset because one team had the championships and the reputation and the other team was green in the finals Speaking of green. I'm going selfics. I mean come on here with their great defense Second and field goal percentage defense. They've been better defensively in these playoffs than the warriors have been offensively Boston is going to take this series and maybe not shock the world, but close Green the color of money. All right, pony. All right. Now. Let's load this question a little bit guys We got your picks on who will win the series But hey, how many games will this series go you can see the odds right there on your screen right now Dave are you betting four five six or seven games for this year's finals? What do you think it's going five, but i'm going to take it one step further There's a bet you can make called select correct win order Golden state wins one two and three boston takes games four golden state wins it in game five plus 1400 So I took it next level I'm going six here because six and seven is pretty much a coin flip bigger payout with six But I'd rather do warriors win and six take that bet and get a bigger payout I like five Plus 250 love the payout there. I think this is a short series Hoping for seven hoping for seven. All right We're going to get our experts picks for the finals mvp and just a second But first I want to tell you about a special offer for fandal casino players Ladies and gentlemen, if you place a bet of at least five dollars on the mba finals before game one that is tonight You'll get ten dollars in casino credit anyone 21 and older in new jersey pennsylvania, michigan, connecticut and west virginia It's eligible for this again. Just place a bet of at least five dollars You'll get ten dollars in casino credit get your bets in before tip off tonight. Enjoy the action with fandal casino And now it is at that time Let's bring everybody back in here to talk about the finals mvp Steph curry the odds on favorite jason tatum is celtic's shortest odds there for him No surprises there. Uh, Dave you're going with a favorite or a long shot I'm going with a favorite if you like boston It's going to be tatum if you like the words it's going to be curry You know, he does have the rings, but he doesn't have this award is durant twice and igadala The first championship that they won. So I think Steph gets his mvp finals, uh, this year Steph is probably going to get it, but I love the value with clay tomson at 22 to 1 Did you know that clay has the second highest defensive rating for the warriors these playoffs? Well, I didn't know that that didn't make a lot of sense. And then I broke it down and go Yeah, he's actually been a pretty pretty solid defender in terms of all the switching they've had to do getting up to these finals Not to mention we know he can be an elite three-point shooter So if he gets hot for these series, then clay tomson's got this Pretty simple formula take the best player on the tv thing's gonna win It almost never goes to a losing player like jerry west a bunch of years ago and look at the recent history Yanis lebron kevin durant twice kawai Leonard. I think boston's gonna win and I think tatum will be their best player. So there What if okay, so you guys have all major picks for who you think is gonna win But if you were just going for value there, is there anybody on that board that you're like, you know what I would actually throw You know 15 bucks on somebody. Maybe I'll go back to my guy Wiggins wiggins Dramon green if this gets to be a defensive slugfest then why not go with the best on ball defender There you go. All right a little extra value for you guys.

But before we get out of here I really want to know as we tip off tonight 9 p.m. Eastern time dubs celtics What's the one thing that you're really going to be looking for in tonight's game Dave I think it's how tate and starts if he comes out 0 for 6 and starts out slow It's going to be a long night if he somehow is able to contain those nerves and make his first couple of baskets It's going to be interesting. I'm curious to see how marcus smart gets used offensively He could be a three-point shooting threat here if some of those do start to drop Then how how does golden state deal with him and some of the other playmakers? I'm looking for draymond greens temperman. I think he might get thrown out of this game tonight So frustrated we're going to draw him away from the basket and horror to williams are going to waste up threes All day long dave take that no assists Yes, because you got to get out Project it let's go. Let's just hope for an exciting and long nba finals I want seven games here for david and pony and our entire hardworking team behind the scenes I'm lisa kerney.
