On this special edition of BUCKETS, professional bettors Preston Johnson (@SportsCheetah) from BetsTV and Justin Phan (@JPhanned), founder of Fantasy Labs NBA join the show to give their preseason best bets. The three talk the Peilcans’ disarray, and why they’re both bearish on the Lakers. They’re all in agreement on the Jazz over, which obviously means it’s doomed, while Matt and Justin believe in the Knicks (to win at least 42 games) (22:24). They debate about a bare bones Spurs squad and whether Atlanta can steal the division from Miami. Then they tackle the toughest question going into the season (outside of Brooklyn): can Luka Doncic bring up a Jason Kidd team enough, or can Jason Kidd tear down a Luka Doncic team enough? Then, Justin gives his favorite MVP and 6th Man of the Year futures, and Preston asks an interesting question about what the Bulls have shown in the preseason, while Matt reveals he has the Magic as one of the worst teams of all time. All that and more on this Best Pro Bets Edition of Buckets!Team Win Totals (NOP, LAL, NYK, SAS, ATL, MIA, DAL) - 3 minMVP Favorites - 43 minSixth Man of the Year - 46 minBulls + Magic Outlook - 49 minFor more info, hit the guys up on Twitter:Preston Johnson (@SportsCheetah) | TwitterBetsTV (@BetsMedia) | TwitterThe latest Tweets from BetsTV (@BetsMedia).
