  Speaker 4: Welcome back to another Wednesday edition of the NBA Show.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Got my guy Matt with me always Matt. How you
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: doing today? How is your Tuesday night? A lot of
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: a lot of fun hoops night.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I'm doing well. I always love these Wendays
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Wednesday excuse me shows with you. A little bit of
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: a smaller slate tonight for a typical Wednesday, but I'm
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: gonna look for it or I'm looking forward to breaking
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: it down with you. Either way, My NBA night last
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: night was awful. I played, as I told you, a
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: little bit on Fandel, a little bit on DraftKings, and
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: none of my lineups did anything. I played a lot
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: of that Miami Sacramento game. Few of the Miami guys
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: were good, but the ones that were good were owned.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: I didn't have Pelle Larson, so it was kind of
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: a bad night for me, but I made up for
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: it with a really good morning in the League of
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Legend Streets, So we're back. I got some good tournaments tonight.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: In NBA, and I'm excited to talk about it with you.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Likewise, it was an interesting night last night. We were
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: just talking pre show about some of the lineups, so
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: we had it there in the two two two and
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: just looking back, obviously you can make some changes hindsight.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: But for me as a Utah Jazz fan, it was
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: a great night just seeing how well they played at home,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: beating the Minnesota Timberwolves. Kianty George with a career high
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: forty three points Nurkic triple double was a really really
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: fun game to follow along with.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I think that Kiance is on his way to become
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: a superstar in the league.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: It seems like, yeah, did you see that Nurkic interaction
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: on Twitter with that guy who like called the statline hilarious?
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: And I don't know. When I read the tweet, I
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: wasn't sure. It kind of seemed like I couldn't tell
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: if he was like making fun of him or like
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: praising him. Nurkic obviously took it as the former, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: people in the replies were all like, Nurkic is an
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: idiot because he doesn't know if this guy's praising him. WI,
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: what was your take.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, I don't. I don't really know it does.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: It kind of seemed a little backhandish, like.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Like right, calling it hilarious, right.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: And I just think that there's been so much negative
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: talk about the Jazz over the last few weeks, like about.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: The tanking stuff.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: I don't really get why people want to pile on
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: like a small market team trying to thank for a
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: good pick when it just hasn't worked out the last
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: few years. Like, and then they play fun competitive games again,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: good teams like beat Cleveland and Minnesota, and then you
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: take okay, see to overtime, Like people just don't, I
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: don't know, they.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Just there are there are a lot of worlds where
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: like it's better to be a Utah fan right now
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: than a Cleveland fan or a team like that, where like,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: you know your team has is not going anywhere in
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: the playoffs, they're not even gonna make the playoffs. You
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: don't have high expectations, but you have good young players,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: and you have the hope for a really really good
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: pick in a draft where there's a few like like
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: elite players, guys that can really turn around a franchise.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: So I'm with you, Like I don't get it. I
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: think Utah depending on what pick they get, of course,
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: like is in a good spot for how like whatever
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: spot they could be in because as a Cleveland fan,
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: like I know, like free agents aren't going to Utah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: The only way to get these guys is through the draft.
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Yep, that's so true. I mean this this draft is
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: it's loaded too. I mean definitely, you know, like three
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: of the better top three picks I can remember coming out.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I was talking to one of my best
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: friends over the weekend because he was an fan. Obviously
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: it was a really bad loss by them, but I
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: was just talking about, like how if you would rather
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: be really bad for a few years and then win
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: a Super Bowl or like always be in competition for
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: you know, ten fifteen years in a row.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: It's so funny you asked that because like, as a
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: nineties a huge baseball fan, like a nineties Indians fan,
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: like that was our conundrum. We were always so good
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: but could never won the World Series. But we were
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: so good for so long going to games was so fun.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: I get the argument both ways, especially as someone that
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Browns have never made a Super Bowl, Guardians Indians have
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: never won a world series, so like, I really get
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: both sides of it. I think we live in stuff
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: like a ring culture now that a lot of people
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: would just say, give me the ring, but there's a
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: lot to be said about like enjoying the ride. H Yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: And also just like instant gratification now too, like people
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: want to win right away and be good right away.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, it's fun when your team is
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: in it a lot of times, even if they're not winning,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: like it makes the season a lot more enjoyable for you.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Whereas the last few years being a Jazz fan, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: like I mean the Patriots, it's they were really, really,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: really good. They've been really good for a long time,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: but then had a few down years. Like it's not
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: fun to go through those those bad times. But all right,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: enough to talk about fandom. Let's get into the slate here,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: five games slate. Some injury news before we came on.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: What happened earlier today, but Kate Cunningham downgraded to questionable
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: with an illness never a good sign. We also have
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: signed on the other side of that game with an
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: illness tag. Any broad slate overview on a slate like
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: tonight where there's a couple close spreads and a couple
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: of higher scoring games and then some clear cut value
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: that could open up.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so not exactly sure what to make of the
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: k situation. I always lean towards guys being out when
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: they're downgraded for an illness, like maybe they just put
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: him on because he wasn't feeling great like and just
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: for the chance that he doesn't play. But then again,
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: they're playing New Orleans, like I guess I suspect that
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: he doesn't play, which changes the entire outlook of the slate.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: I mean, you've got already limited spending options and you
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: take out one of the better ones at ten K,
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: and it just opens up so much value. That is
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: a really really big piece of news on this slate.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: I think it's just kind of is like the cloud
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: over it, if you will.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely interesting because there will be two games
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: to pivot off of if you don't get the news right.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: So definitely, hopefully we get it. I don't know if
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: it'd be better, honestly, the night to get it before
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: everything kicks off, because everybody's gonna be playing the same guys.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: You might get a little bit of better ownership if
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: it comes later and you guess right on his availability.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Any thoughts there.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: I see it both ways. Like, certainly, I think there's
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: advantages to not having the news, especially if you're you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: someone that is going to be by your computer all night.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: As someone who plays one lineup, I'm not really sure.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, I really get the edge of not getting
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: the news until later, But it sucks if you guess wrong, because,
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: as you said, there aren't that many spots to pivot too.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: That being said, like thinking about it for just that
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: one second, I guess I'd rather have the news just
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: because there's more edge.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah for sure.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, well we'll touch on that whole situation
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: how we're gonna appach when we get to the game.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: But we'll start off with your Cleveland Cavaliers heading to Charlotte.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Close spread three and a half points, I believe three points.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Cleveland's favored, which is kind of surprising. I think you
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: probably wouldn't expect that beginning of the season to see
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: them favored by only three, even in a road game.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: But the Hornet's been.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Playing competitive basketball as of late, playing really good defense.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I could see this one being a little bit lower scoring.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: The Cavs have been a little bit of a roller
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: coaster over the last week or so. You know, lost
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: of the Jazz, got blown out by okay See on Monday,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: but then a couple of big wins against the Sixers.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: They're still playing well on offense. Those six ronth offense
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: over the last two weeks, but they're twenty fourth in defense.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: The Hornets are surprisingly second in offense and eleventh in
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: defense over the last two weeks. So kind of curious
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: to hear your thoughts on how you're gonna approach this game.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: I think this one is probably the second best game
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: to fully stack up good team totals for both sides
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: and then a close spread. So how are you approaching
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: this one?
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: I agree with you there. I do think it's scott
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: like the It's the second best game to stack up
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: with like the second most appealing players after probably after
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: the Atlanta Memphis game, certainly the Detroit New Orleans game. Well,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: it might not be like as attractive, might also be
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: in play there just because of how many good players
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: they'll be in that game. That said, I'm with you,
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: like Cleveland is very inconsistent, so this spread doesn't surprise me. Personally,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: I'm sure it does surprise a bunch of people out there,
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: but Charlotte coming off a blowout win in Denver, they
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: didn't look good in a couple games out west against
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Golden State and the Lakers, but finished it off on
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: a really high note. Three guys mainly I'm looking at
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: in this game, one from Cleveland, and that's Donovan Mitchell
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: ninety five hundred. I wouldn't consider him a must play
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: or anything, but I think he looks good coming off
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: a really rough game last time out. He struggles against
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Blue Dort, so no surprise there much much softer landing
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: spot here against Charlotte, even with their better defense. I
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: think he's wildly in play at ninety five hundred. Mobley
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: is too expensive at nine K. I don't think he's
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: like out of playing tournaments, but it would take a
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: bunch of lineups for me to get to him, I think.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: And then from the Charlotte side, two guys that I
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: like here that I think are just priced nicely. Brandon Miller,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: who I've played a bunch of, is playing well, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: then Miles Bridgets, who I also play a bunch of
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: priced under seven k. Now coming off two really bad games.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: But as I mentioned, they've played in a bunch of
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: blowouts recently, so all of a sudden, if you get
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: a competitive game here, I think he could smash this
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: price dag. You know, in any matchup, I would say
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: it's just too cheap for him. I like him a lot,
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: and I like Brandon Miller. Those are the two guys
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: that I could play together, I could play individually. I
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: could play him with Mitchell. I like those three guys
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: quite a bit. How do you see it?
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love those calls. I agree with you a ton.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: I think you know better than anybody else. People kind
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: of overstate the defensive stuff for.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Evan Mobley this year, so I don't.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: I'm not too worried about the Miles Bridges match, but
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: I do agree that he's playing really well this season,
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: and I don't mind the matchup.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: But I'm with you on Brandon Miller. Like him.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: He's probably my favorite option on the Hornets. But I
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: also think LaMelo is kind of an interesting talking point.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: This is the front end of a back to back,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: I believe, for them, so he's going to be managed
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: in one of those games pretty strictly. The spread to
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: me indicates that this would be a one where they
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: kind of let him go a little bit longer and
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: probably start. I think they'll bring him off the bench
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: for tomorrow's game. That's just kind of what the spread
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: is indicating to me. And I don't I like the
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: matchup a lot for him, and I think you're gonna
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: get I don't think that the ownership comes in around
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: this fifteen percent. I feel it's probably gonna be lower,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: maybe comes up a little bit from like the low
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: to mid single digits to like the upper single digits
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: if he's confirmed as a starter. But AK for LaMelo
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: is a really good price seg and I think that
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: he's going to land in like that twenty eight to
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: thirty minute range, So I think he's pretty good. You
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: have any thoughts on on LaMelo specifically.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I really like that call, especially as a pivot
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: off of what's going to be a really popular job Morant.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: It's the same play essentially.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that team's coming back from being overseas. We've
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: only seen it for one game from Moran and it
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: was really just a monster first half. So I like
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: that call a lot, like, especially on what's kind of
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: a smaller slate with some unappealing games. You know, you're
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: locking up a roster spot where we might get really
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: good point guard value. But I think that also, you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: presuming we don't get the CAD news, but I think
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: that just lowers LaMelo's ownership. Like, I don't think he
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: gets a lot of love at all, even if he's
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: confirmed the starter. Yeah, that'll bump it. But with so
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: many people wanting to save roster spots potentially and John Morant, like,
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: I think LaMelo comes in really low owned and I
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: love that call. Charlotte has played in three straight blowouts.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: It's really messing with like the minutes and fantasy points
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: projection all over the board. So I think this is
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: a spot where we can go to.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree that there anything on the front court
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: guys for Charlotte.
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: Not really. I don't think they're like bad place, but
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: I don't think anything stands out to me there. How
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: about you?
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I think center is fairly strong.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Tonight, Kat we're gonna talk about next and then Jalen
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Duran a Kong Wu like there's and even Jock Lando
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: like similar price. I think that these guys are kind
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: of odd, like they're they're on the outside looking in,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: probably like the six or seventh best options. Prices are
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: getting close together to in the minutes can fluctuate back
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: and forth, so I don't feel super confident either. This
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: does feel like more of a Diabate spot versus Jared Allen.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Just Jared Allen a really good rebounder. I think that
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: diabaatee he's honestly one of the best rebounders in the league,
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: which is crazy, but I think that he kind of
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: matches up a little bit better versus Jared Allen.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Heard their coach talk about the Abate like comparing him
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: to like Dennis Rodman.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a it's a big comparison, but
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: he's he plays very similarly, Like he doesn't have much
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: of an offensive game, and he's just high energy thirty
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: six minutes. If he starts like he could just be
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: hundred ten percent the whole the entire game.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: So I agree with that. Could definitely see the similarities there.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Did want to circle back to the Cavs Steff real quick,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: because I agree with you on on Donovan. I feel
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: like he's one of the better spend ups on the
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: entire slate and nine point five K. The role has
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: been really good for him last two games with Daris
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Garland out just shooting the ball very poorly, but the
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: potential assists are way up sixteen potentials over the last
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: two games, forty four percent true shooting percentage of the shooting.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: When that levels up, levels out, He's gonna have a
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: really really big game pretty soon. I think that it
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: could come tonight. Hornets are bottom six and pick and
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: roll defense and worth noting that in the blowout loss
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: to Okay See, he was trending for like thirty six
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: to thirty seven minutes in that one, so he could
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: just play a ton in a close game.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: I love how he started at point guard too, because
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: he just like opens up more assist opportunities, et cetera.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: Someone asks about Mobley a four eight point four on FANDROL,
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: much more playable there, Like, Yeah, fide play there. I
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: don't think a must play, I don't think out of play,
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: just a good play there, especially on a smaller slate
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: on DK. It's it's tough to get.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: To him though, Yeah, I agree.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: I think that covers in to see genens Tyson getting
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: some ownership and he's been playing really.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I love Tyson. Man. It's crazy, he's been
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: like the second best player on the Cavs this year.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: I know, like not really because it's Mobley, but Mobley
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: just hasn't taken the next step in Tyson has just
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: been like with the Calves, everything they're lacking. He seems
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: to be like the one guy that brings it every
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: single night. He got a bunch of his stats or
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: a bunch of his scoring late in that OKAC game
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: when the Scrubs are on the floor that said he's
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: gonna play big minutes in a competitive game, and he
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: does it all for this Cleveland team. He rebounds, passes
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: like we've seen big games from him. I forgot to
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: mention him. He's definitely my second favorite piece of Cleveland.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: You can roster him at five different spots with the
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: shooting guard small ford eligibility.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: I like him here, Yeah, I agree there.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Getting more involved on offense too, like he does seem
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: like potentially the number two option on offense now, like
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: over over Evan Mobley in.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Some ways, especially with Garland out.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I agree there. I think it's Donovan Tyson
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: big gap. You could definitely consider Mobley and Allen, but
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: don't love those guys by any means. And then the
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Charlotte stuff. Agree it's Miller Bridges, and then probably LaMelo
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: and then con like he's not out of play, but
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: he's he does struggle from a usage standpoint while starting
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: the court with all of those guys. Okay, next game
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Brooklyn at New York Battle for New York Knicks. Man,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: I mean they are struggling right now. I feel bad
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: for our Knicks fans, but I think they'll get turned
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: around eventually. But it could be a spot where, just
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: with how bad they played over the last two weeks
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: or so, that they might just give their main rotation
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: guys a ton of minutes here in a very winnable
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: game against the Nets. Nets are also really bad on
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: defense right now, their bottom I believe bottom three or
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: bottom two in defense over the last two weeks. So
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: a really good spot. Curious to hear how you want
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: to attack it. For me, there's one clear guy that
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: stands out on the Knicks, and it's We're probably viewing
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: the same way because I think we've both been pretty
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: intocat this season at this price tag. But it just
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: feels like a really good spot.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: For him.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So man, Well, first off, before I get into it,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Nicks are Calves as far as like, who you think
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: has got a better shot of coming out of the East.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: I think the Knicks too, Unfortunately.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: I just I don't know if I'm I'm really not
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: a believer in Mike Brown as a head coach, but
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I'm definitely not a believer in Kenny Atkinson.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Interesting, I don't necessarily feel the same way. I didn't.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: I didn't know you were going to go there. I
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: just don't like the cut of the gym and this
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Calves roster. Like, I just think that they play like
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: they're better than they are, and last year losing to
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: Indiana like really took a lot out of them. But
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: I get it, Like I get you're not the only
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: one that feels that way about Atkinson as far as
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: this slate goes, Yeah, it's cat for me. I started
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: obviously writing the slate plan earlier, and Kat was the
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: one guy that really stood out. I'm leary of this
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: game though. I'm like with you that I think that
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: the Knicks guys could get big minutes because they haven't
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: played well, But I also think there's blowout concern here.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Like big blowout concern because when the Knicks get it right,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: I think that they could stomp this team, and they've
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: talked about how they haven't played well. So I'm not
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: not playing these guys because of that. But I'm can
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm leary. I guess it is the best
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: way to put it. That said, Cat stands out. I
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: think he's by far the best play from this entire game.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: Just too cheap is playing well right now. There's the
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: risk we've seen it a few times from him this
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: year where he's just completely disappearing games, and that could happen,
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: especially if the game gets wonky and there's a blowout
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: and he's not playing well in his first stint. But
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: that aside, he projects really well and I think he
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: looks like one of the better like mid tiers, not
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: even mid tier spend up options because of the lack
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: of thereof on this slate on the entire board.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Yep, I agree with you there. Definitely think you could
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: make the case for Brunson too. Just I don't really
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: like the matchup because the Nets are gonna sell out
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: to take away the pick and roll, and they've been
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: pretty good at limiting big stat lines to opposing point
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: guards this season, but there's like a motivation factor. He's
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: the guy that called the player only meeting, so it
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: could be a spot where he just puts a team
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: on his back and scores like forty tonight. I could
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: definitely see that happening. But matchup wise, it does lean Cat.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: He's done really well against Brooklyn this season. Brooklyn is
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: struggling to rebound the ball as well. He's staggered away
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: from Mitch Rob a little bit more so the rebounding
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: rates can trend up for him a little bit. But
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: I think he's the best. And then I really like
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: the spot for Josh Hart. Two six point five k
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: is a good price sack for him. I think he's
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: one of the guys that could really see an uptick
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: in minutes, and the nets are really bad at defending
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: a transition, so that's kind of where I like to
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: fire up a guy like Josh Hart.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Do you have any thoughts there?
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I really like the heart call because I think
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: that as kind of we both alluded to. I think
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: this is a game where New York could really like
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: lock down here. Uh, they're clearly going to play inspired
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: ball after players only meeting, et cetera. So I think
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: they could turn over. Then that's a lot here. Kind
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: of just lock them on defense and Heart could be
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: a big beneficiar area of that, especially at this price point,
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: Like Tyson can roster them at five different spots. Both
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: those guys, Tyson and Hart look pretty similar and good
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: to me.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: Yep, agree there, and then I'm fine with like McHale
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: and Og, I do prefer Heart, probably just for the
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: positionality of Josh Hart, but those guys are totally fine.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: They kind of are set up the same way, whereas
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: the nets are really bad in transition. I think that
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: all three of those guys could put up a solid score.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: To me, it feels like we're getting at least one
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: strong game from one of these knicks.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: And I think that there's a transfer too.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: I agree.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: So it's Almos, It's not like a min one on
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: all your rosters. But I think that you should strongly
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: be considering a lot of these these knicks tonight.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: It's tough because I'm with you and I want one
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: or two of them, but I like don't want more
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: than that.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Really, Yeah, I think two is probably the sweet spot.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I think that three is possible, but I think that
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: the groups you gotta definitely consider who you're playing. For me,
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: it's a max one of Cat and Mittrub. I do
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: think mitchrob is also in play, and that's our terrible
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: rebound in the ball. He's still getting twenty to sometimes
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: mid twenty minutes. I definitely think that upticking minutes comes
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: from Cat playing poor defense. So I'd be max one
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: of those two guys. I would be a max two
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: of Heart O, G. McHale and Duce McBride, and then
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: I normally would set a max one rule of Katon Brunson,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: but I think that there is a range balcoms where
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: they both get there. But if I'm playing both Kat
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: and Brunson, I don't want any other knicks. So it'd
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: be if exactly two of Kat and Brunson, then zero
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: other knicks.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm with that. I think I'm most likely if
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: I'm playing two, to play Cat and Hart. But I
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: like the Brunson call too. I like the kind of
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: like Vibes can call in the player on the meeting.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: He could easily just put the team on his back
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: here for sure.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the net side, I don't think that much really
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: stands out. These prices are not good, and it's really
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: tough to make a case for any of them some
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: kind I kind of think it's just MPJ and Cam
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Thomas as the guys that I'm considering, But I'd like
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: those guys are pretty pretty far down the list of
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: guys that I'm looking to get to tonight.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think for me, Brooklyn looks like the worst
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: team on the slate I have just playing a few
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: lineups tonight. There's that big thirty one eighty. I won't
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: play any Brooklyn here.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, easy fade and anything below probably twenty max.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, all right, Indy and Boston.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Close enough spread toward this game, could we could get
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: full minutes from these guys. Indies back to just sucking again.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Their twenty ninth in offense over the last two weeks.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Boston is top ten in defense. There's ways that you
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: can attack Boston that would be attacking them with three
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: point shooters. The Pacers don't really have the best options there,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: so I think that there's definitely below out concern here.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: The Boston is first in room defense and dead last
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: and three point defensive frequency, so teams are just getting
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: up a ton of threes against them. They've been doing
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: a great job defending the paint. Though for the Pacers
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: it's pretty much flipped. They always take away three pointers
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: but get give up a little bit more around the basket.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: I think for the Pacers side, it's really like Nie
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Smith and Jay Huff as the two guys that I'm
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: considering here just for the matchup alone. I think Siakham
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: always in play on smaller slates, but I don't really
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: think that you're gonna be happy with the forty two
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: to forty four that he gets you tonight. Very likely
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: to do that, but I don't think you're getting like
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: a huge ceiling game from him in a really bad matchup.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: And then same thing for Nemmar. The price is coming
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: down for Andrew Nemhard a little bit to where he's
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: more playable and he will see some of the weaker defenders.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: It might be Derek White on him, but it could
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: be Peyton Pritchard as well. But the Indy kind of
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: looks similar to Brooklyn in some ways where I don't
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: really see myself needing them in country stuff, but I'll
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: definitely get over the field on some of the other
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: guys that are like the matchup for which.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Would be mainly aaron NEI Smith and Jay Hoff. Aaron
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Ne Smith been shooting terribly as of late, shooting fifteen
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: percent from three over the last five games. If you
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: can go back to being the forty percent shooter that
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: he has been thee this season, I think there is
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: a little bit of ceiling there for him at five
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: point ak. But with that being said, oh, this is
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: also revenge game. I believe this is his first game
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: back in Boston since being I don't know if he
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: was traded or if he just signed somewhere else.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: Wow. Really yeah, and it seems like he should have
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: played there a bunch while it's surprising.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: And then for Jay Huff, I think this this matchup
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: feels more like a Jay Hoff spot than it does
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: a Tony Bradley spot. I think when you're getting more
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: minutes from Tony Bradley, it comes in matchups against like
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: embiid or like Yoki if something like that, you need,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: like a bigger body, Jay Huff more of like the
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: stretch big. I think that you want more floor spacing
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: against Boston. That's the way you attack them. So those
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: are two guys that stand out for me and Indy.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: Then I'll let you break down the rest of this
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: game if you want to.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so we see India the exact same way. I
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: understand why you say they look like Brooklyn in the
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: sense that like, if I'm playing one lineup, I'm not
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: playing any Indie. But they do have guys that I
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: think offer like legit upside here and it's the three
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: you mentioned at their price Tagsnie Smith is the first
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: guy that stands out, then them Hard, then Huff Nemhard's
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: price is down, Like I don't love the spot, but
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: as you mentioned, if he sees Pritchard d he could
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: easily get there at this price point. Nothing stands out though, like,
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: especially on this slate, we might get more you know
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: the CAD news Like, I think you need to play
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: at least a few lineups beginning to Indiana here and
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: then the Boston side. It's obviously a better matchup for them.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: I just think with how they're priced, like Jalen Brown
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: usage King, you can play him on any any slate
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: not getting a ton of ownership. That's really what stands
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: out to me in this game is that it's not
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: getting loved, So that would be the reason I'd play it.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's anything that looks great from a
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: projection sand point, but it's low owned on a smaller slate,
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: and there are good players in the game, so that
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: would be my reason to getting to guys here. All
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: that said, I feel similarly about the Cleveland Charlotte spot,
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: and I like that much more. You're gonna have a
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: little more ownership there, but not enough for it to
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: matter to me, especially if you play a bunch of
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: guys there. So that's kind of how I'm viewing that
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: game in terms of like the overview on the slate,
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: if you will.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I agree with you on the Jaylen Brown stuff.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: It feels like it feels like I don't know Siakham
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: a little bit, but like with more ceiling, just because
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: he's not really doing enough to be priced at this
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: at like nearly ten k in the fact that he's
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: just kind of settling in like the low fifties most nights,
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: which is good but not great for somebody at that
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: price tag. I think there's a little bit more upsight
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: at some of the other forward spots tonight, so I
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: probably don't get to a ton of him.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: What do you think about Uh oh sorry, go ahead.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Uh no, go ahead. I was just gonna kind of
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: touch on like the Derek White Pritcher stuff, but go ahead.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: I was gonna go back because we didn't talk about
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: Mitchell Robinson at all, and I see we're getting comments there,
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: so I wanted to ask your opinion there. But finish
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: on Boston and then we can go back.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: I think all these guys are just kind of like fine,
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: they're in play. Prayt Patrick has done really well against
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: the Pacers this year. A little bit more context though.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: One of the games came without Jalen Brown and the
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: other one was a blowout where he actually closed, so
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: he got thirty eight minutes in that game, just kind
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: of ran things against the garbage timeline up On the
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: other side, I do think Kita is solid at five
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: point four k This is a better matchup for him
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: than it is for Luca Garza.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: You want more.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: Guys that are gonna attacking the paint, Garza more of
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: the stretch big, so kind of vice versa between Bradley
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: and Huff and Kida and Garza, and then Hauser and
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Simons are both playing well enough that you can consider
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: them don't like the matchup for Houser. I think it's
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: fine for Simon's and then we could circle back to
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: the Mitch Rob stuff if you want to kick it
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: off there.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: I think he looks good man like forty four hundred,
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: not playing a ton of minutes. Like I kind of
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: mention it when I talked about Heart, I think that
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: New York could really style me the nets here, which
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: would open up a lot of rebounding equity for him.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Like I mentioned the stocks here, I actually like him
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: at forty four hundred. How do you see it?
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I agree.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: I think that this could be a spot where he
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: gets like six seven offensive rebounds yep. I mean the
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Brooklyn is really bad at rebounding the ball this season,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: they're like bottom eight ish, and then they're giving up
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: a good amount of putbacks as well. Yeah, towards like
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: the pretty much same spot. They're twenty first in putbacks
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: so offensive rebound scoring. So definitely think that Mitch rob
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: is for sure and play there.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: I'm glad someone mentioned it, and because you know, honestly,
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: with so many players and stuff, sometimes guys like that
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: can get overlooked. But he's definitely in play. I'm with you.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that kind of the theme of that
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: game is that we both like the centers, and I
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: think that they're definitely the best.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Spot all right, Detroit and New Orleans.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: I don't think that we're going to get any news
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: while we're on the show about the kid stuff, so
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: I think that we can I feel like he's probably
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: gonna miss, but we can talk about it in both ways.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: It's obviously a really really good matchup. The Pelicans getting
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: killed on pretty much everywhere, like you can just throw
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: a dart at somebody randomly on the pistons, They're gonna
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: be in a good matchup for a different reasons. Give
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: him a ton of points of the basket, a ton
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: of three pointers. Pick and roll defense is bad, transition
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: defense is bad, rebounding is terrible.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: So this is a lot to like here. For me.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: Duran is a guy that stands out as probably one
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: of the best plays in the entire slate. Seven point
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: two k really good price sect for him, saw him
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: get back up to thirty one minutes. They're overlapping him
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: and Isaiah Stewart a little bit more, which helps his
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: minutes upside a lot more. He'd be the guy that
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: I'm starting with on Detroit and then moving around some
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: other pieces to make sure I can account for Kid.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: But I really really like Durrance and I think that
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: he smashes Derek. Queen has just been watching some of
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: these Pelican games. It's pretty frustrating to watch him because
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: he just gives no effort on defense. So I know
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: we're all kind of upset about Queen getting benched for
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Missy at times, But if you watch a game, like
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: there's a reason he's not playing.
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, they don't want to bench him like they
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: need to for like the integrity of their team sometimes
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: because of his defense. As you mentioned, I will say
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: about Duran, I like him a lot too, and it's
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: nothing bad about him. Center is like kind of loaded
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: on this slate. We talked about two guys on the
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Knicks we liked Okongwu and Landale so and you mentioned
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: Kida Duran might be the best option of that bunch.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: I kind of get the vibe that that's how you
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: see it?
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Is that true of the centers?
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you like during the best Yep, Yeah, okay, I
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: get it. I mean it's a great matchup and his
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: price tags down seventy two hundred ton of upside here.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Obviously with Nocaid presumably much closer game expected, so I'm
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: with that Durham does look really really good here. Ownership
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: looks right now to be fine. As we talked about
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: a little bit before the show, Ownership has been kind
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: of off everywhere so far the season, so I expect
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: that to continue tonight. I wouldn't be shocked at all
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: if he ends up being pretty popular, but to that point,
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: there are other goods Center options, so I don't think
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: it'll get too crazy either way. I think he's a
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: really good play. If Caid's out, is it Ivy? Is
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: it Jenkins? Is it both?
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: To me, I think it's Jenkins.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: He's really outplayed Ivy in the games that Kid has
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: missed recently, and both games I've started both games this month.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: I believe that Caid missed and Jenkins saw more minutes
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: than him and just straight about playing them. I think
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: that he provides more of the stuff that Kid is
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: gonna be vacating. Like we talked about it earlier this year,
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: it was a different situation when Caid was out because
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Ivy and I believe, like even Lavert were out for
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: a lot of those games. Yeah, but Jenkins is like
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: a true point guard. I think that they would rather
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: have him out there, whereas Ivy's kind of like a
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: combo guard.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: I'm with that. I think that that makes a lot
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: of sense. That's how I saw it. Jenkins is cheaper,
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: so that helps, And yeah, I think that you certainly
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: want like Ivy's going to start, I would suspect they
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: just continue to start him. So it is a little
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: bit like Leary in the sense that if Ivy's playing
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: really well, that probably hurts Jenkins. But at their price
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: tags in this spot, I could see them both getting there.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Honestly, Yeah, I definitely can see that too. I'm not sure.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: I have to look back and see if they overlapped.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: I assume that they did overlap a bit. Also, the
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: LeVert tag is pretty big because then you're taking away
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: another another guard and sliding it in with Ivy getting
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: more of those minutes, so I think that they would
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: be a lot more potential for them to overlap. So
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: I think that at the prices, there's definitely a chance
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: that they could both get there, especially in this matchup too,
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: like they might just let Ivy and Jenkins run more
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: in the second half and kind of just salt the game.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Boy.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Also, I did make a mistake yet Nie Smith has
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: played in Boston before, but I meant this season not
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: he hasn't played against him the season, but.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, not that we're playing him or not playing because
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: of that. So yeah, cool, but yeah, not a SAR.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: I love a sorry, especially if Kate is out.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: I think Asaar looks a really really good because he's
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: going to get more ball handling and it is a
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: really good matchup for him.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Obviously, much for anybody, but for him especially.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: The Pelicans do turn it over a ton, really weak
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: transition defense, really weak rim defense. I think this could
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: be a spot where he gets like three to four steels,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of transition scoring. I do have a lot
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: of interest in a SAR, and he's not gonna get
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: He's looking at some right now. I think that we
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: talked about ownership again, but I think it's a little
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: this is a little too high of a number. But
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: I think he's really good. I think he's good regardless, honestly,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: in a pretty solid pivot. If you're at the forward
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: spot and you play a Sorrow over Tobias, I prefer that.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was gonna say it sounds like between Tyson,
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: Hart and a Sar Like those three guys, I like
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: all three of them quite a bit. I know Asar
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: is the cheapest. Sounds to me like you kind of
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: like Asar the most out of that three, than Heart
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: than Tyson.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that is how it happened.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: Okay, that makes sense. I think they're all good plays again,
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: but Asar the cheapest could see a big bump. Tobias
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: does look good here though at that price when I
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: hate it, I don't want to play him. I don't
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: know if I will play him, but at fifty two hundred,
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: actually have kids out, like he's just gonna get a
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: big bump. Offensively, you can play all these guys together,
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: is how I see it. Detroit. It just gets so
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: open because they are price tags are first off, aren't
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: accounting for the matchup, which is one of the best
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: in the NBA, and then second of all, certainly not
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: accounting for kid being out. So it's a spot where
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: I think you could get a bunch of Detroit here.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: One guy that we didn't really talk about, which I
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: think is definitely worth talking about, is Duncan Robinson.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: I saw him mentioned in the chat.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: He's shooting lights out right now from three point range,
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: really good matchup for three point shooters. But he's shooting
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: just under fifty percent from three point range since January first,
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: and this is one of the worst three point defense
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: in the league. So I wouldn't be surprised to see
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: him as a guy that goes overlooked on the Pistons.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: And I think he's got a chance of being on
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: the winner at four point three k shooting guard eligible only,
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: which is not great, But I do like the matchup
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: a ton for him, and I think he's got pretty
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: solid scoring upside here.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Any thoughts on Duncan, Yeah, I.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: See he hid him projecting pretty well also, So like
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: I like that call. Fourty three hundred good price point,
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: definitely in play, and it gives you roster spot like
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: you're able to move things around. The more players you
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: have from this game, the more you're able to do,
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: you know, if Kate is in or out. So I
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: like that call for sure. Yeah, I mean, clearly a
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: lot to like on Detroit here. How do you see
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: the New Orleans side?
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: I definitely think the zign news is big if he's
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: out I'm going to have interest in Murphy. I kind
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: of like Murphy a little bit. Regardless, he's put together
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: a really really strong month as well, pretty much seen
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: a uptick in all of his stats across the board
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: minus rebounding. Is a potential assister up on ball percentages
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: up a lot more as well. Bad matchup versus a star,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: but I think that the way that it does offset
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: a little bit. Like the Pistons is a team that
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: you can beat with three point shooting, He's gonna get
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: a ton of shots. Really think that he's the guy
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: that you would want on the Pelicans, and then it's
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: a pretty big tear drop down to the rest of
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: these guys. I do think that there's a a real
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: shot for Derek Queen to get benched this one, so
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: I'm not playing him and Missy together. He also lost
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: the power forward eligibility to make him borderline unplayable. And me,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: he's three hundred cheaper than Duran and a little bit
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: like fifteen hundred cheap or whatever then Cat, so he's
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: gonna be a tough click probably an X out for
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: me tonight. And I just think that Missy is probably
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: a guy that plays more than him. I do like
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: the matchup for the same reasons for Murphy as guys
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: like Cidy Bay and Jeremiah Fears and a little bit
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: of Jordan Poole if you're considering them. I think City
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Bay is the safest from a minute standpoint, though, so
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't really love the Pelican side,
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: but it can get a little bit better if Zion
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: were to miss.
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: What about you, Yeah, I feel similarly like it seems
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: like it feels like you want to play some New
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: Orleans if we play a bunch of Detroit, But I
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: don't even know if it's necessary. With the price tags
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: on Detroit, I don't think you have to avoid it either,
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: especially if Zion's out. Murphy would be the guy I
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: like Bay revenge spot for him also if you're into
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: that sort of thing, so yeah, he would be. I
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: don't know if not my face, but I think you
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: said it best. The safest here, Murphy would be my favorite.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: I think you can mess around with guys like Fears
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: and depending on how many lineups you're playing. I'm totally
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: with you on Queen. The guy I wanted to ask
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: you about in Detroit also is how do you think
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: Sasser fits into this mix here if Kate is out,
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: not sure what.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: His minutes projection would look like. He's been out of
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: rotation for a little bit, I believe, so I'm not
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: sure if they'd want to bring him in. I feel
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: like it'd be more of just like a Jenkins and
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: Ivy spot, But I don't know. Maybe, uh, I think
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: that's kind of like a tougher one to convince yourself
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: to play.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that would definitely have to be if
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: I'm playing a lot of lineups, and like I I
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: would have to see his minutes projection. Also, he seems
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: to be kind of an enigma also, where like he
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: could be out of the rotation he plays in a
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: game he plays really well and his minutes spike that
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: one game, and then all of a sudden he's back
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: out of the rotation. So I'm with you too, like maybe, yeah,
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: it's exactly how I see it.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's probably playing in like lower teams minutes, Like
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: maybe he gets a seven minute rotation in each side
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: of the half and that's it.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: And I still I feel like.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: It's you're gonna want Ivy and Jenkins, I would imagine.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: I do want to shout out also, especially because these
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: games are gonna be after lock and I know ship
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: it's got a bunch of really good deals right now,
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: including the nine dollars trial with that, like for one day,
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: you get everything, and that includes me and Rio in
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: the discord, which is pretty awesome because we're talking about
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: like the exact guys we're playing. So check it out.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: There's a nineteen dollars for five days off er out there,
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: or why don't you just put it out there because
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: we got a lot of good stuff going on.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, great job doing at little marketing breakdown. I always
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: forget to do it on the show, but I appreciate
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: you doing that for me. All right, Cool, So we'll
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: go to the last game of the slate. This looks
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: like one probably the best game environment this one in
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Charlotte Atlanta facing off against Memphis. Memphis was overseas playing
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: against Orlando, I believe, so maybe some some tired legs.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: I think those only three games three days ago that
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: they played. It's a little bit curious why they're playing
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: so soon, if like they deserve one more game off.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: But yeah, huge over under in this one, close surprise,
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: close spread as well. These teams are playing pretty solid
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: defense as of late, they do have some areas to exploit.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: The Atlanta Hawks are great with their pick and roll defense.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: I don't but the Grizzlies have kind of gone away
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: from that a little bit more of this season. They
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: are training in the right direction with their rebounding as well,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: but given up some more threes as of late. And
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: for Memphis, they've been pretty bad against the lead handlers
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: in bottom five and three point defense on the year,
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: So definitely some areas to attack their injuries.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: In this one, it's all.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: The G League guys are doubtful for Atlanta, and then
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: you have out tags on res che Chris asporzingis. This
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: will be the first time I've played a slate and
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: since the Siege of McCollum trade, I believe for Atlanta.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: So it's looking back some of the rotations he has
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: kind of interesting.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: They were on the West Coast.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: I think they've been on the West Coast road trip
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: for a bit, just on like those those later ones.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: But yeah, pretty interesting to see what they've been doing
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: in the rotation. I was curious of who was going
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: to be the guy that's kind of negatively impacted the
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: most from CJ. Mccarlum, and it has been in some
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: ways Jalen Johnson. He has seen a little bit of
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: a role change with CJ. Gatt into the lineup a
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: little bit more so, he's just taken on a pretty
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: big usage role in the second unit, and since CJ
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: has made his debut, he's seen a decrease in his
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: touch time, his assist, and his potential assist. All of
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: the shooting sets are down as well, so it just
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: kind of playing a little bit worse as a whole.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: But it did get going against Milwaukee last game, which
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: was good to see. And I think that there's a
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: chance that he could play a ton of minutes here.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: So I like Jalen Johnson a ton and I think
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: he might be slightly underprojected. I kind of had him
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: like closer to sixty. That might be a little bit high,
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: but it's a really good matchup for him. Memphis plays fast.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: You like Jalen Johnson in those types of game environments,
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: and it was good to see him get back to
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: his normal role last game twenty eight point sixteen boards.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: So he's probably my favorite guy on Atlanta, and then
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: I would say a Congu is number two at seven
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: point four K.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: The way that he.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Gets there with the ceiling is when he's knocking down
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: his threes, and it is a good matchup for a
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: guy like him to get up a lot of threes.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: So I think that he'll be left open a good
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: bit pretty into a Congo and Jalen Johnson, and then
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: I think the tier drop down to the naw Dyson
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: and CJ grouping is next. I think I like Alexander
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: Walker the best, probably gonna be a Max two of
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: that entire group. You could just be a Max one
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: of CJ and Kisbert because it feels like those guys
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: are subbing in and out for each other. I'm also
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: not really in love with CJ at six point two K,
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: just don't think that he's worthy of that price sag
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: with the minutes that we've.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Seen from him. What are you? What are you looking at?
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: The on the Atlanta side.
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, as far as that last kind of duo goes,
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: whenever it's a guy that's sixty two hundred and a
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: guy that's thirty seven hundred that we don't really want
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: to play together, give me the thirty seven hundred guy.
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: Certainly CJ has more upside, but Kitsburgh at thirty seven
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: hundred projects pretty well I think at right as of
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: right now without the Detroit News, he looks like one
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: of the better under four k players on the slate,
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: which is sad, but that's how the cookie crumbles here.
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: Don't love him, far from a must, but I'm totally
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: with you there. I like Jalen Johnson a lot, as
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: you mentioned, got going last game against Milwaukee after a
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: few down games, kind of integrating new players. I'm willing
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: to cut him a little slack there. And o'connwell looks
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: like the next best piece. I'm totally with you on
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: the three guards kind of lumping them together. I have
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: less interest in them, just kind of how the slate
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: pans out. And as far as Jalen Johnson goes, I
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: am worried about his ownership getting pretty really high. Actually,
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: if we get kid being out with people just saving
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: roster spots. Obviously this is one of the last game,
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: so you get all that Detroit value. He's the guy
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: to spend up on, so all of a sudden, like
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: he becomes one of those guys. It's like sixty seventy
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: percent owned, probably won't get there, but there are some
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: red flags here. So I do like him a lot.
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: I would like him a ton if I think the
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: ownership is lower than what I'm presuming, But just know
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: that going into the slate, Okanlu, like I do like
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: Duran slightly more as you do. So between the two,
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: I like Duran, but they look pretty comparable, like I
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: like them both here. So if you think this game
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: is competitive, the other one isn't, I could understand why
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: you play it, Okonglu. All in all, I understand why
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: this game is getting a lot of love, but I
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: think I'm a little bit more leery of it than
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: the field. Certainly the Atlanta side, the price tags are up,
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: they're still integrating new pieces. And then the Memphis side,
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: it's really just the ownership for me, They're gonna be
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: the highest owned team on the slate right now. Obviously
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: the Detroit News will factor in there, but I'm not
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: sure I'm ready to buy Morant Landale. Like all these
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: guys in ownership, I certainly get it like they're in
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: a good spot. The price DAGs are nice, but I
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: personally don't want to go too crazy with Memphis, how
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: about you.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we talked about the LaMelo pivot off
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: of Jaw, which we both like. I don't think it's
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: really a great spot for Jaw either. We know that
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: he can be matchup proof at times, and he looked
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: pretty motivated it. There's a lot of negativity around him
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: and the Grizzlies in general, so maybe he's kind of
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: using it as a chip on his shoulder. But yeah,
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: I think that the matchup is pretty tough. Just the
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: role should be really really good for Jaw and the
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: it's kind of know, it's tough for me to make
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: the case to get away from him with the game
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: environment being so good, and I know that I'm gonna
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: have one to two Atlantic pieces on my main roster,
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: so it makes sense to just paired up with the
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: Jaw bring back. But yeah, I think that you definitely
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: gotta perceive with a little bit of caution because there's
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: you know, they just traveled overseas. Jaws probably still limited
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: to like twenty eight to thirty minutes, which isn't great,
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: and the matchup is not great. I don't like the
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: spot for Jaron. I don't think that the price size
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: is very good. Don't think that he's just gonna have
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: much of a ceiling wall. Sharing the corps with Jaw.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: I kind of feel the same way with Cedric Coward,
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: like his maybe a little bit less so with him
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: because we have seen him just put up some massive
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: stat lines and really short stints, but he's gonna be
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: pretty limited probably for a while, been dealing with a
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: few different injuries. So i'd probably make Jock my favorite
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: play on the on the Memphis side. Five K is
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: a good price sick for him. He's been kind of
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: unleashed from a minute standpoint, playing like twenty eight plus
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: and three of his last four games, then was really
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: efficient as a scorer last game, So I think that
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: he's probably my favorite option on the Grizzlies, and then
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Jaw and then the rest of the guys I'm not
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: really two into, like the Gigi Jackson's and Vince Williams
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: and Kcps. Definitely not playing John Contra. I think that
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: he's terrible. So yeah, I think that you could definitely
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: make a case that Memphis is a team to get
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: a little bit under on for some of these other guys,
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: because I don't think that they're deserving of these crazy
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: high ownership numbers.
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like I get it. I mean it's a great
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: way to put it, because I totally get it. They
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: project well at their price points. But it's not like
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: they project so much better. It's just that they project better.
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: So that's why the ownership is there. And like, those
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: are spots I'm willing to get away from. We talked
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: about that first game. I really like stacking up that
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: first game. Certainly you might miss out on roster spots
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: for the Detroit News, but there are certainly like worlds
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: where that first game just goes nuts and it's much
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: better than the other games. That's kind of how I'm
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: viewing the late right now. So that should kind of
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: give you know, those who are going to see my
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: correlator a little bit of an insight.
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: I'm just looking at what you would be left with
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: from a like the roster standpoint, if you started with
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: like a Donovan Miller Bridges and then because if that
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: would allow you some spots later on to move on
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: to some of the the value plays and then feel
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: pretty pretty okay doing that.
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: But yeah, that's what's nice about the Charlotte price tags.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: Like ma LaMelo is the most extensive at eight K.
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because like a miniseac just a Donovan and
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Miller or Donovan and Bridges something like that, and then
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: save the rest of your spots for later. But yeah,
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: like I was gonna pull up Steven's message, but yeah,
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: this is true.
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: Though.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: If you start with three to four guys in this game,
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: it does allow you some spots to move on to
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: the Piston stuff later. Pretty easy to do that too,
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: Like you started with Jalena kong Wu and then one
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: of like any W Dyson, cj or Kisbert. That gives
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: you plenty of salary to work with for some of
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: the Pistons news and then Jaw and Jock as well.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: So there's definitely ways to move things around and make
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: it work. But all right, that's all five games. Any
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: closing thoughts here on the slate after we talk through everything.
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: I think my only closing thoughts are like, yeah, so
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: what you just said. That's a good way to play it.
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: But I think that's gonna be how everyone plays it,
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean. That's how this slate is viewed.
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: It's similar to a bunch of states we've had recently,
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: very reminiscent of a couple of nights ago with that
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: Warrior slate where all those guys were just super high owned,
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: and it makes sense like there was a eight spot,
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: but there were other spots that outperformed that spot that night.
• 47:03
  Speaker 5: So that could certainly happen again here. It might not
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: because there's a reason that that's getting so much ownership.
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: But at least for me, my final thought is I'm
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: more apt to get away from that ownership tonight.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: Never a bad thing to get away from some high
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: ownership for sure. All Right, Yeah, that's gonna do it.
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: Be back tomorrow me and Title Talent, and then that
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: will be back on hand with Friday. Hopefully everybody has
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: a good and profitable night tonight and we'll catch you
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: guys tomorrow.
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: An SNS.
