Griffin Warner and Big East Ben talk college basketball betting for this weekend. They guys are gearing up for March and give you the biggest game for Saturday. Best bets as always. 🔹 Opening Remarks & Betting Recap (0:14 - 1:39) Griffin Warner and Big East Ben introduce the episode, reviewing previous best bets. Griffin mentions his Oklahoma bet, which survived the spread thanks to Otega Oweh’s dominant second half. Ben highlights Oregon State vs. San Francisco, detailing how USF erased a 12-point deficit with a 21-0 run. 🔹 Frustrations & Bad Betting Night (1:40 - 4:25) Ben recounts a series of bad beats: North Dakota State's top player was unexpectedly out. Rhode Island led early but collapsed against Dayton. Arkansas vs. Texas hit overtime, busting his under bet. Griffin reflects on San Francisco’s unexpected hot shooting, with a 22% shooter making four threes. 🔹 Conference Tournament Sleepers & Injury Uncertainty (4:25 - 5:59) Discussion on whether they should pick a conference tournament sleeper. Injury speculation in Big Ten & SEC: Lack of transparency makes betting tricky. SEC availability reports are still vague. Game Previews & Betting Analysis🏀 Kentucky vs. Auburn (-4.5, 166.5 O/U) (6:00 - 10:13) Key Injury: Jackson Robinson OUT for Kentucky. Matchup Analysis: Kentucky: Strong three-point shooting team but not as reliant on it as expected. Auburn: Best three-point defense in the SEC. Bets: Ben leans under 166.5 due to Auburn’s slower pace. Griffin backs Kentucky (+4.5), citing home-court advantage. 🏀 Kansas (-4.5) vs. Texas Tech (146 O/U) (10:14 - 13:56) Key Injury: Darian Williams & Chase McMillan questionable for Texas Tech. Matchup Analysis: Texas Tech fought hard against Houston, but only played six guys. Kansas desperately needs this win, but Griffin labels them a "shitty team." Bets: Ben takes Under 146, citing strong rebounding and foul control. Griffin reluctantly backs Kansas (-4.5), believing Texas Tech’s short rotation will struggle. 🏀 Tennessee (-3.5) vs. Alabama (159 O/U) (14:49 - 18:44) Key Stats: Alabama’s defense has been terrible lately (110+ points allowed twice). Tennessee's defense is slipping but still elite at home. Bets: Ben bets Tennessee (-3.5), expecting defensive regression for Alabama. Griffin agrees, taking Tennessee, but is wary of a high-scoring game. 🏀 Iowa State (-6) vs. Arizona (151 O/U) (18:45 - 21:27) Key Injury: Keyshawn Gilbert expected to return for Iowa State. Matchup Analysis: Arizona doesn't shoot many threes, which negates Iowa State's weak three-point defense. Both teams excel at forcing turnovers. Bets: Under 151 due to turnover-heavy play and fewer foul shots. 🏀 Gonzaga (-9) vs. San Francisco (157 O/U) (23:23 - 26:40) Key Context: San Francisco gave up home-court advantage to play at Chase Center (Golden State Warriors’ arena). USF’s interior defense is weak (212th in the country). Bets: Ben takes Gonzaga (-9), expecting a blowout. Griffin reluctantly backs USF (+9), hoping they stay close enough to cover late fouls. Best Bets & Closing Remarks (29:07 - 34:04) Best Bets: Ben: William & Mary (-1) vs. Northeastern – Citing weak three-point defense from Northeastern. Griffin: South Carolina (-1) vs. Arkansas – Arkansas without Tramon Mark will struggle. Promo Code: "Charging20" for 20% off betting subscriptions. Key Takeaways🔹 Betting Trends: Injury uncertainty and defensive regression were major themes.🔹 Player Analysis: Oklahoma’s Otega Oweh, Kentucky’s Jackson Robinson, and Arizona’s Keyshawn Gilbert were key names in the discussion.🔹 Game Picks: Unders were a common theme, with Ben and Griffin mostly favoring home teams in close spreads.🔹 Hot Take: San Francisco sacrificing home-court for a money grab at Chase Center is a terrible decision.

The guys also give out best bets. 🏀 NBA Saturday Preview & Best Bets: Detailed Summary This podcast episode, hosted by Munaf Manji and featuring NBA analyst Mackenzie Rivers, dives into the final stretch of the NBA regular season. They discuss injury updates, team performances, betting insights, and predictions for key games. The conversation follows the timeline of upcoming matchups while providing in-depth player analysis and betting tips.🎙️ Detailed Breakdown with Timestamps and Quotes 🔥 Victor Wembanyama's Injury (0:11 - 8:33) Munaf Manji (0:11 - 2:55): Opens with the unfortunate news that Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs will miss the remainder of the season due to an isolated blood clot. Despite the setback, there is optimism that Wembanyama will recover in time for next season. Mackenzie Rivers (2:56 - 6:28): Celebrates Wembanyama's second-year dominance, calling him possibly the best second-year player ever. He cites Dunks and Threes stats, placing him third in estimated plus-minus (+5.3) behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (+9) and Nikola Jokić (+8.7). Despite the injury, Mackenzie highlights his defensive impact, especially since the Spurs rank near the bottom defensively without him. Injury Concerns (6:29 - 8:33): Both hosts express concerns about the severity of Wembanyama’s condition, drawing parallels to cases like Chris Bosh and Mirza Teletović, whose careers were affected by blood clots. 📉 San Antonio Spurs Analysis & Betting Outlook (8:34 - 11:39) The Spurs’ record is currently 24-29. Munaf predicts a 35.5-win total for the season. Mackenzie predicts the Spurs will finish under 35 wins due to their poor defense and the loss of Wembanyama’s presence in the frontcourt. The injury also voids Wembanyama’s Defensive Player of the Year eligibility, with Jaren Jackson Jr. becoming the new favorite at -130. 🏆 Debate on Game Requirements for Awards (11:40 - 14:17) The hosts debate whether the 65-game requirement for award eligibility is fair. Mackenzie argues that it's arbitrary and penalizes players who suffer legitimate injuries, mentioning Joel Embiid’s rookie season as a precedent where fewer games cost him Rookie of the Year. 📊 Game Previews and Betting Insights🔹 Phoenix Suns vs. Chicago Bulls (14:18 - 18:14) The Suns are -3.5 favorites. Concerns about their locker room issues are discussed, referencing reports of a toxic environment. Mackenzie bets on the Bulls’ team total under 117.5, citing their offensive struggles post-Zach LaVine trade and the Suns' defense holding steady around the 14th rank overall. 🔹 Brooklyn Nets vs. Philadelphia 76ers (21:12 - 23:06) The 76ers are -9.5 favorites. The Nets boast a top-ranked defense in recent weeks despite being offensively weak. Mackenzie leans toward the under 213.5 points total due to Philadelphia’s inconsistencies and Brooklyn’s scoring issues. 🔹 Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets (27:28 - 32:03) The Nuggets are -6.5 favorites. Both hosts agree that Denver will cover the spread, especially considering: Luka Dončić’s poor conditioning and injury struggles. The Lakers’ defense being significantly worse without Anthony Davis. Nikola Jokić likely dominating in the post against a weak Lakers frontcourt. 📈 Player & Team Statistics Victor Wembanyama: Estimated Plus-Minus: +5.3 (3rd in the league). Defensive Player of the Year odds before injury: -2000 to -3000. San Antonio Spurs: Current Record: 24-29. Defensive Rating: 2nd worst over the last 10 games without Wembanyama. Chicago Bulls (Post-LaVine Trade): Offensive percentile rankings: 52% (immediately after the trade). Dropped to 21% and then 15% in subsequent games. Denver Nuggets vs. Lakers: Nuggets are 9-1 straight up and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against the Lakers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
