Transcript
- 0:06Welcome to nature daily wager. I ain't picking winners but I am
- 0:10making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
- 0:20May 18th, 2026. And man, glad I had those couple
- 0:26extra points there in my pocket. Might have been in trouble if I
- 0:29didn't. Or, you know, maybe it just
- 0:32wouldn't have mattered at all because Detroit just went out
- 0:35there and kind of laid an egg. Now to be fair, basically James
- 0:40Harden was James Harden as well. So, you know, as I kind of semi
- 0:44predicted, I wasn't sure what was going to happen and wasn't
- 0:47sure if he was just going to do what he does in game sevens,
- 0:50which is, you know, basically not show up.
- 0:52And he didn't he didn't show up is what I'm saying.
- 0:56But they still won. They still blew him out even
- 0:58though he couldn't get to double digits.
- 1:00So the important thing is our bet 1.
- 1:03So that's positive. Keep this momentum going.
- 1:05So tonight I'm sitting here, I'm looking at this right.
- 1:09We got ourselves a a game seven over in the NHL, Buffalo and
- 1:13Canadians, and we have a game one in the NBA, Spurs and the
- 1:17Thunder. So I got to think, I think, OK,
- 1:18am I going to go with the Game 7 or am I going to go with the
- 1:21game one? Well, here's what I'm thinking.
- 1:22I'm probably going to end up watching the Game 7 because it's
- 1:25hockey Game 7 and there's honestly, there's really nothing
- 1:29better than playoff game seven NHL hockey like that.
- 1:34That's really peak sports awesomeness.
- 1:37Especially then you get late people pressing.
- 1:39That's awesome. But as I said, I really don't
- 1:42know nothing about nothing when it comes to the hockey.
- 1:44So why don't I just bet the basketball, watch the hockey.
- 1:48So looking at this basketball game, Thunder, nice rested,
- 1:52ready to go. They tend to well, they tend to
- 1:55blow people out anyways either way.
- 1:57But coming off of rest, when you look at the stats, you look at
- 2:00the numbers, they really like to blow people out double digits.
- 2:03I think it's close to 15, something like that.
- 2:06And tonight they're favored by 6 1/2.
- 2:08So that means I can give the 6 1/2, figuring they're probably
- 2:12going to, let's say they do less than average, they just win by
- 2:1510 instead of like 15 and still have a if you to be all right.
- 2:19So that's what I'm going to do. So we're going to go Oklahoma
- 2:21City Thunder -6 1/2 against the San Antonio Spurs and tonight's
- 2:26NBA Western Conference final. Basketball, playoff basketball
- 2:31action. Is anything better than that?
- 2:33Pound it. That's my pick and I'm sticking
- 2:35to it. Give us watch.
