Let's get to some NBA props tonight. Miami Heat are shorthanded in Sacramento. One of the late games today, David. No Jimmy. He's suspended. No Tyler Hero. He's banged up. No Terry Rozier. He's still not quite ready to come back from injury. So you and I both jumped on these props early. Jaime Hawkins. I like all of it. 15.5 points. I think it was at one point. I mean, you look at it. You've got Hawkins. They've got Robinson. They've got Caleb, I guess. Bam. Bam, right? But I just feel like they're going to have to feature Jaime tonight quite a bit. And he's back out in California, too, even though it's the northern part of the state. I feel like that gets him energized a little bit. He hasn't really had this opportunity in a while. So I guess the question is, which Hawkins prop do we like the most? I sort of like the 20. Was it the 23 and a half? Was it points, rebounds and assists? 26 and a half fantasy score. 15 and a half points. I mean, all of it looks good to me. What would you play? I like actually the rebounds and assists at seven and a half. He's going to be one of those do everything guys. You have five main rotation players out tonight for the Heat. He's going to have to rebound. He's going to have to make shots, obviously, you know, Duncan Robinson, whoever's left is going to have to score. So I worry about them more defensively in this game versus offensively. Yeah. So, you know, I feel like I could have a good game, like you said, in a variety of capacities. And the numbers are still reasonable, like four and a half rebounds. Very, very reasonable. Either one of those. But like you said, I kind of like him a little bit across the board. I know our guy, Eric, with Dickie, like BAM over on his rebounds tonight, 10 and a half standard. Yeah. Yeah. And again, thin bench. He's going to have a bonus. I mean, the rebounds will be there. Like I said, I never worry about that. Like who the matchup is. I mean, you know, you're fighting for different rebounds typically. I mean, defensive rebounds tend to be about 70 to 75% of the total. So yeah, you're fighting for the same rebound, but in terms of frequency, you're fighting for different rebounds. I think he'll be fine. I would play that over actually myself, unless he gets into foul trouble. Kevin Love is available. So they're not quite as thin in the front court as they are on the wings and in the backcourt tonight. But I still think that he goes over. Would you play Sabonis or De'Aaron Fox tonight? Oh, I love Fox. Yeah. Fox is one of my favorite plays period across the whole NBA tonight, 20, 24 and a half points. I mean, the assists, the assists are going to be there against Miami. You know, they're kind of middle of the pack, you know, 16 to this, this allowed, you know, I pick him and Joe, I mean, jump on that goblin play all day. I'm like a five or six pick at three and a half. I mean, that's, that's a freebie. You know, I would even maybe take a shot on this demon at six and a half. It's truth be told to defend Caleb on him. I guess maybe Highsmith I think is probably going to get a lot of that assignment. You could see some small, small, some Jamal Kane. Keegan Murray has been big against Miami. I would look at him maybe even more so than Sabonis tonight, but Keegan Murray has tended to go over against them. And again, like you mentioned, they're more shallow on the wings before we get to some other games. Would you play Sabonis tonight? Probably in some way, shape, or form. Let's go try the 19 points. Yeah. Yeah. Bam's going to be asked to do a lot defensively in this game. And Sabonis are going to get a few easy ones just out of situation. I mean, yeah, just, I mean, I feel like Miami's going to be scrambling a little bit down low to defend and rebound in this game. I was looking at actually these combo rebounds and I would also go with them over the three free throws made. Okay. Yeah. That, that looks pretty good too. Three free throws made. All right. Anything on the other games tonight? A fairly full slate. I, I kind of liked the Williams kid in Memphis over on his assists tonight. Yeah. He's been over consistently. I think that was six assists tonight. Seems like a fairly reasonable play. Anything else jump out to you? Well, I mean, anybody going against Detroit. Yeah. At this point, I mean, you know, you look at the Knicks healthy though. Yeah. So that, that, I kind of liked the Vincenzo. Actually, I was looking at some of his kind of off the wall, like seven and a half rebounds and assists. I was just trying to target, you know, some of these like Atlanta, you know, teams going against Atlanta, like Scotty Barnes the other night just, just went insane. So just some of these matchups, even with teams banged up, just the other side is just so bad. You feel the Knicks, you know, have a good front court. So, you know, in terms of size, they did, but they're banged up. The thing you gotta be careful of with Detroit though, is the team's getting too far up on them and then guys sitting the fourth. But I don't think with the Knicks injuries, that's going to be the case. I would look at Bogdanovich for the Knicks going up against his old team. That's another prop that was kind of interesting to me today. So those are some of the ones that we like, but the whole board is up there. I know I can't pronounce the guy's name. Simone Fontecchio was a favorite prop of Eric's tonight. If you can spell that, I give you more power, David, because I was trying to. Fontecchio. Fontecchio. So what he, I forgot what he liked, but he liked, he liked a lot of the stuff that's on the board for him right now. He's been getting. That looks pretty good right there. Yeah. Yeah. The 11 and a half, that is what he liked and over four of the last five. All right. Use the code five F I V E. We'll be back for, the heat will be in Portland, the Moleskine notebook bowl. That will be on Tuesday and Jimmy should be back and Rozier and Tyler might as well. So give you those props then. But our advice tonight is play Hawkins. That's the way to go. Pair it with something else. I think you're going to be fine tonight. I think as long as Jaime doesn't get hurt, knock on something, he'll put up the numbers tonight. All right. Thanks everybody.
