- 0:06Welcome to Nate's daily wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
- 0:10am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
- 0:21May 25th, 2025. And well, as I speculated as I
- 0:27figured last night, few wolves coming home.
- 0:31They had the energy, they had the putzpah to go ahead, get it
- 0:34done and the OK C Thunder went ahead, let it happen, accepted
- 0:41that it was happening, sat there starters and just let the ass
- 0:46kicking take place. Didn't fight it knew hey, we're
- 0:49done for tonight. We're going to lose, but we've
- 0:51got the series in hand. So get the win last night, move
- 0:54those winnings, take them forward.
- 0:56Let's look at tonight. We're back out east.
- 0:58We've got Indiana this time hosting the Knicks.
- 1:02They're also up to 0. They're going back home that you
- 1:05would think OK, they're back home.
- 1:07They're already up to 0. They're going to place going to
- 1:10be rocking for they're going to take a commanding 3 O lead.
- 1:13Here's the thing. I know this is basically the
- 1:16antithesis of what I was saying yesterday, but I think this is
- 1:20the way it plays out with the Knicks.
- 1:22The Knicks, if you look back this playoff series, they've
- 1:24been actually better on the road than they are at home.
- 1:26Why? I think they get a little bit of
- 1:27that lemon booty when they get home.
- 1:29They things get ratcheted up. The role players are expected to
- 1:33do more. They, you know, that crowd just
- 1:36feeds them and they want to live up to what those expectations
- 1:41are, an MSG. But when they're on the road,
- 1:43they're a little more relaxed and they don't have that
- 1:45pressure from, you know, the crowd.
- 1:47So they're able to just get things done.
- 1:50And so tonight, I think they're going to go out there.
- 1:52I think they're going to be all right.
- 1:53The line is only a point and a half.
- 1:55They are getting a point and a half.
- 1:57I think they might win, but I think it's going to be close.
- 2:00I'm going to go ahead and do what I did last night too, even
- 2:02though it's kind of the opposite.
- 2:03I'm going to take the Knicks tonight.
- 2:05I still think Indiana's going to win the war, but I think the
- 2:08Knicks might pull one off tonight and make it look like
- 2:10it's going to be close. So I'm going to lay the I'm
- 2:13going to take the points and I'm going to sprinkle a little on
- 2:15the money line, and I think we're going to end up on the
- 2:18right side at the end of the night.
- 2:19So we're going to go New York Knicks plus 1 1/2 points against
- 2:24the Indiana Pacers in tonight's NBA Eastern Conference final
- 2:29basketball action. Is there anything better than
- 2:31that? Found it.
- 2:31That's my pick and I'm sticking to it.
