🔥 The Hot Ticket
Warriors at Lakers, 10 p.m. TV: ESPNThe Pick: Kevin Love Over 1.5 Assists (-160) — I’ve made plenty of jokes at the expense of the Knicks in my time writing this newsletter, but I want Knicks fans to know that if they were up 3-2 in this series, I’d feel the same way. All I want is for this series to be over. I don’t want to watch it anymore. It’s awful. It’s setting basketball back as a sport. It’s one thing to watch college players play poorly, it’s another to watch guys being paid $20 million a year miss a bunch of 10-foot jump shots.
But as much as I hate it, I didn’t want to send you into the evening without at least something to bet on in the game. This Kevin Love prop is the easiest money on the board. Love is averaging 2.6 assists per game in the series and has had at least two in four of the five games. I hope he gets them both in the first half so I can turn the game off.
