• “I’m going to go over 226.5 (-110). Timberwolves playing their second game of the year for the home opener against the Kings. Light the beam.”
• “Last year, one of these teams created 14 turnovers per 100 possesseions; that was ninth in the NBA. They’re going to be able to turn the Kings over. It’s going to open up the game, loosen up some things.”
• “For the five matchups last year between the Kings and the Timberwolves, four went over. Last game, 244 in OT. That would be an over.”

Taking the Points with the Spurs: “Give me the Spurs plus seven and a half.”

Luka’s Fitness and Game Readiness: “I don’t care if [Luka’s] coming in a much better shape. Sometimes you need some reps; like this is like a preseason game for Luka. I’m expecting him to be a little bit short-winded.”

Revenge Spot for the Spurs: “This is a quadruple revenge spot for the Spurs. They lost all four matchups versus the Mavs last year. This is the big brother.”
