Is Jalen Green Holding The Houston Rockets Back From Success? NBA Bets & Reactions | Green Dot Daily
Oh it’s time for more money with Matt Moore and J Money always great to see you guys we’re going to get your Best Bets for tonight in just a moment but since this is the first time we’re all together in the New Year we’re going to start by getting some NBA resolutions for
2024 Matt why don’t you tip us off yeah let’s go ahead and let’s start with the Atlanta Hawks my New Year’s resolution for the Atlanta Hawks is get your together okay the Hawks are seven and 25 against the spread seven and 25 against the spread the worst Mark in the NBA they’re
On track to miss their win total by nine wins already they are already up against it there’s a lot of talk in League circles that this might be what’s being called a reset year for the Hawks where they try and instill install some new things that they’re going to use going
Forward evaluate T Talent there’s talk about them trading to jonte Murray Trey Young’s actually kind of figured some stuff out and is having a better season and they’re still garbage the Hawks have so much talent they have good coaching for the love of God Hawks get your together love the enthusiasm as per
Usual Jay what’s your NBA resolution yeah I’d like for the Suns to get their together as far as defense I think they can do it with offense but uh if this team starts playing some defense I really do still think that they can make it to the NBA
Finals especially when they have the big three in there Bradley Bill dein Booker and Kevin Durant as well um and also stay on the court as well man this team just can’t put it together as far as uh stay not being injured there but if they
Can start playing some defense I do I definitely think they have a pathway to make it to the NBA finals so Sons get your together on the defensive so apparently a lot of people need to get their together my NBA resolution is for the Brooklyn Nets and
I say this be careful with with your culture Nets because as you guys know last week on December 27th they played the bucks on the second night of a back toback treated it like a preseason game sat three of their starters barely played two others despite one of them
Being Mel Bridges actually wanting to play this was a winnable game they were down one in the third quarter you could have made a statement against one of the best teams in the NBA but no and guess what they’ve now lost four in a row including one to the Wizards when you’re
Not trying to win that’s not okay and the players are seeing that bad for the culture don’t do it and I am somebody who like I get rest at times to an extent this was not the way to do it who’s missed a lot of backtack so far
This season is Jimmy Butler let’s move on well Jimmy Butler is also injured Matt uh as I as I mentioned but listen I know you have one more resolution for us so why don’t you give it to us yeah and this one isn’t somebody who needs to get
Their together by the way we’re talking about this as if like it’s like everyone after the new year is like trying to be like this is gonna be the year I’m going to stop going out and drinking till 3:00 a.m. and I’m gonna get my love life in order all those
Things that that young folks say in the New Year’s never winds up happening this one though is does involve a young player it’s Jaylen green you know look Jaylen green this year has actually bought into a lot of the stuff that he needed to do over the last couple of
Years he is trying to play within a system the problem is that Jaylen green does not seem to be a player who can function that way his efficiency is at absolutely horrific levels it Contin he is one of the worst jump Shooters off the dribble this season that’s supposed
To be his role we’re seeing a lot of the guys from the g-league ignite struggle in the NBA because they don’t know how to play structured NBA basketball the Rockets are much better better this season but they need Jaylen green to be the guy they drafted number two to be a
Superstar level player he has done so many of the things that he needs to do he’s working more on defense he’s trying to work quality shots he’s not breaking the offense but he’s going to have to produce this is the bar if you want to
Be a star in the NBA Jaylen green really is up against it because if he doesn’t figure this out Houston’s going to have to go in a different direction they’ve got bigger priorities they’ve got alrin shenon who looks like a star Jabari Smith Jr has turned a corner Jaylen
Green needs a keep up with his fellow young guys in Houston and turn a corner and that starts with making some shots all right well now that we have put the league on notice I’ll just go ahead and say we can all be better in
2024 it’s not just the the people in the NBA we just called out but that being said uh Jay Money you’re off to a good start in 2024 with your picks why don’t you share your best bet for this evening yeah my best bet for tonight is
Wizards team total under under 114 and a half I’m I’m expecting the Cavs to bounce back here defensively after allowing 124 points in their last game to Toronto Raptors went back and looked at it after the Cavs allow 120 more points they average 10 uh 108 points in
The next game as far as defensively here so Wizards aren’t the best offensive team they do like to run and Gun they’re the number one in uh in Pace but this is the 24th uh team in offensive raid in their last five games I’m expecting the
Cavs to lock these boys up tonight uh they might not touch 104 105 points tonight so give me the Wizards team total under 114 and2 meanwhile Matt you’re going to be busy tonight on the NBA bet stream for bucks Pacers in the NBA app what is your
Pick for that game by the way one of the most intriguing games in a minute yeah it’s gonna be really interesting fascinating game love this match up very excited to be on it you can find it in the NBA app on League Pass just go to the stream section for
Bucks Pacers you can catch us betting all things live during that game my best bet for this one is going to be under 258 and a half now look I don’t like bet and Pacers unders I’ve Loved bet and Pacers overs this season it’s been one
Of the most fun things you can do but look the market has hit it Zenith and these teams I think have started to hit their Zenith offensively and as far as being bad defensively as well the under has hit in five of the last six for the
Pacers big reason for that is Indiana is I can’t believe this 12th in defense over the last two weeks they have started to play a a little bit not a lot a little bit of Defense the Bucks are 13th in defense over the last two weeks
This is a high point for the bucks and Pacers defense this season this is a low point I think for some of them offensively in terms of the matchup they’re very familiar with each other and when you’re this familiar this is going to be their fifth matchup this
Season we very rarely see that kind of thing in the NBA now the end-season tournament allows for it you see a team this much you learn how to guard their actions a little bit better again we’re not talking about some crazy low under here it’s 258 and a half but we I am
Going to go ahead and project I’ve got projected around 250 I’ll take the under 258 and a half in Bucks Pacers tonight plus I think this game means a little something to both these teams so they’re just going to hopefully put maximum effort out there on the defensive end
And Jay I did want to follow up with you real quick on this one because I know you’re really big on Revenge spots and the fact that two days ago the Pacers broke a 15 game home win streak for the bucks and beat them on their home floor
Were you staying away from this for a reason anything giving you caution as to you know the Bucs trying to get revenge yeah the Bucs they definitely have revenge and it’s not something I would go against too many times but I do know that they can’t guard opposing
Guards I mean Benedict Maan did whatever he wanted in that game Tyrese halberton did whatever he wanted in that game as well but also the Pacers don’t have an answer for jiannis so um it’s really like a it’s really uh kind of pick your poison type of game but I agree with
Matt there you definitely have to look towards the under I mean the fifth game so far this season between these two teams um like I mean he broke it down perfectly they know what each other like what each other um like to do there so I definitely look towards the under as
Opposed to trying to figure out um who’s going to win here all right sounds good J Money Matt Moore always a blast with you guys thanks so much for coming on
