I headed down to Circa last night to watch the Netflix bout between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano.
Unfortunately, I looked down to drink my vodka soda and missed the 17-second armbar finish by Rousey (-625 or so).

🏀 NBA Playoffs: Game 7
The winner gets the Knicks. The loser goes home.
Cavs (+4.5) at Pistons, 8 ET (Prime). Total: 206.5. Series tied 3-3.
Steve Makinen’s analytics point to two plays:
➤ Cavaliers +4.5
More of a price play than a Detroit fade — you’re getting points in a historically tight Game 7 environment, fading an inflated line after a blowout, and aligning with ratings and anti-public indicators.
➤ Under 206.5
Game 7 Unders have hit at a 60% clip, and this matchup checks multiple boxes: slower pace, tighter rotations and fewer transition looks under pressure.
