Las Vegas - Of course, every Philly fan is wondering where, not when, Ben Simmons will go. Of course, we have the odds. The Blazers are the early leader in the clubhouse at +$250. The Wizards are +$300, the Jazz +$500, the Thunder +$550, the Warriors and Lakers both at +$600, the Cavaliers at +700 and the Rockets +$1000. Might throw a few chips at the Wiz because Russell Westbrook can show him what PASSION is, and Bradley Beal can show him how to SHOOT a jump shot.

On the NBA board, still not sure about Chris Paul, but Kawhi is still out for the Clippers and Marcus Morris is listed as questionable. Phoenix showed a little rust after a week off, but still managed to cover a -4 point spread in the opener with a 120-114 victory. Working on an 8-0 playoff run, EIGHT & OH, straight up and against the spread, the kids from the Valley of the Sun have a gigantic amount of SWAGGER coming out of every pore. Paul George is gonna get his, and Reggie Jackson might as well, but without Kawhi, the picture is dark. No Chris Paul again, so the line is hovering around -4.5. We would buy the hook down to -4 and watch PHX win by six again!

On the baseball board, we'll play against the Rockies as long as Kyle Freeland is on the mound for Colorado. Why? Freeland has been atrocious in his first four starts, allowing a staggering 32 hits and 21 earned runs over 16 innings. That's a 11.81 ERA, and that's WHY we're all over the Mariners, and yup, you can BOOK IT!!!
