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
- 0:20April 21st, 2026. And well, I was wrong.
- 0:26But again, it was the good kind of wrong and kind of the damn
- 0:29kind of wrong in that T Wolves won.
- 0:32Even though I knew that they would cover, at least I felt
- 0:35like they would cover and they did cover.
- 0:36But as I said, they also won. I didn't think they would win so
- 0:40I didn't sprinkle at all. So I missed out on that extra
- 0:43little bit of profit so. But hey, it's way it goes
- 0:47sometimes. The important thing is at least
- 0:50we got the West. We got the the green numbers
- 0:53instead of the red numbers or the no numbers, depending on the
- 0:56particular app that you tend to be using.
- 0:59So All in all, not perfect, but a positive.
- 1:02So today, tonight, more basketball, more playoffs, I'm
- 1:06going to stay out West and I'm going to go back to this one
- 1:08that did me dirty the other night, right?
- 1:10This was Lakers, Houston, all right.
- 1:13Now, I'm not sure that that old man LeBron can dial it up two
- 1:17nights or two games in a row anymore, right?
- 1:20Like, he did what he needed to do.
- 1:21He dragged them across the line, got them the victory.
- 1:25But that's because Durant wasn't there.
- 1:26Durant is a game time decision. They can't go down to zero.
- 1:30They know that. So, yeah, his knees kind of
- 1:32hurting, but he's going to try to get out there.
- 1:34He's going to toke up as much as he can, numb it out, get out
- 1:38there, do some scoring. And I think Houston's going to
- 1:41win this one. They're giving up five and a
- 1:43half, which is I think a few more than last time.
- 1:46But I think that speaks even more to the fact that folks know
- 1:49Durant's likely going to play. Houston isn't going to go down
- 1:522O and they're going to do what they can get.
- 1:55The West. LeBron is notorious for once, he
- 1:57knows something's done, especially late in this career,
- 2:00just letting it go and taking the blowout.
- 2:02So we're going to go Houston Rockets -5 1/2 against the LA
- 2:07Lakers and tonight's NBA first round Western Conference playoff
- 2:13basketball action. Is anything better than that?
- 2:15Pound it. That's my and I'm sticking to
- 2:17it. Let's see if we can get to in a
