Hey Mark Daigneault, call me!
Las Vegas - Can you hold for one second, I'm calling Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault.
Hey Mark, this is Eck from America's Line. Have one question. You guys were up 2-1 heading into game four and you used the Energizer Bunny Alex Caruso perfectly. In game one, Caruso played 32 minutes and had 31 points. In game two, he played 25 minutes and had 17 points. In game three, he played 24 minutes and had 15 points. In game four, he played only 14 minutes and had NO points. ZERO! A BAGEL! A GOOSE EGG! He didn't look like he was hurt or was dragging, so tell me Mark, what's up? Gimme a call. Your buddy, Benj.
Still waiting on the call back but expecting Daigneault to give Alex at least 25 minutes and also expecting him to go OVER 10.5 points. Like the Thunder to come out spitting fire balls but just in case, we'll pass on laying 5.5 points and try OKC on the money line.
