  Speaker 1: Yah, all systems don't clear?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I left? What is going on? Everyone? We're back for
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: a Wednesday edition of the NBA Show. But our guy
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Marky in here go collect Uh. So you got I
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: think one or two lineups in the two twenty two
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: tonight's of good luck there, Gregory Lynch, Marcus d william Exclusive,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Ricky got a guy butter made a run in the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: fire our last night. Shout out to you, Boboso, Torreen
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and mister Mike's daddy Matt will bring in. How's your
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Wednesday going? How's your week been so far?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Wednesday's going good man? Finally at least I was gonna
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: say warmed up, but it hasn't warmed up. It's still
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: like zero degrees here. But sun's out so daughter is
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: back in school today. Things are looking up. Uh, Wednesday's
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: going good man. We got a full slight to talk about,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: as we kind of chatted a little bit before about.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: But always happy to be here talking to some hoops
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: with you. How's your week going?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, week's going good. Thanks for asking. Yeah, I agree
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: with you there. I like these slates a little bit better.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Was kind of tilting a little bit last night about
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the winning lineup in the five dollars wasn't the perfect lineup,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: but it was a seven white chop and a seventy
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: two thousand dollars or a seventy two thousand person tournament.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Just I haven't seen anything like that all season long,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: especially in that big of a tournament, so that was
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a little little disheartening. I know that we had a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: few people in our discord that were making a run
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: at the top. Like I said, Butter was up there,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and then our guy coach sav was up there in
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the top fifty believe, so definitely a tough runout for
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: people playing that tournament. And then I think we also
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: had somebody ship the mini Max got really not lucky,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: but very fortunate that he won, because I believe the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: second place lineup was one person that ran a forty
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: lineup train and he beat him out by maybe a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: point or a little bit less than a point, so
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: really really good run out. There is a shout out too,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I think I believe his name is j MSN or
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: JSMN in our discords, shout out to him. But yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: we got a lot to talk through, so I won't
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: really spend too much time on all the intro stuff.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Jump right into the first game actually, because we do
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: have nine games with the lotter injury news, try to
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: get in and out here in an hour. We got
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Lebron James making his return to Cleveland to face your
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Cleveland Cavaliers. I'll kick it off to you right away.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: We have close spread Cleveland favored, which is somewhat surprising
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to me. Lakers are playing okay basketball right now. Cleveland's
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: playing really well. But no Darius Carland know Evan Mobley.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: What are they going to do to fill up those minutes?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: And I we've always seen a massive role from Donovan Mitchell.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: He's been really putting it together. But the Mobley news
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: is really big for the Cabs moving forward.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Mobley news is big. Hopefully it's just a
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: shorts from injury. Got to be really careful with those
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: cap strains. He'd missed a couple of weeks earlier, like
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: about a month ago, came back gradually and obviously it's
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: now missing time again. Never good to see from a
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: DFS perspective. It's gonna make everyone on Cleveland look that
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: much more desirable because outside of Donovan Mitchell, he's been
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: like the second best offensive player for Cleveland. They've clearly
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: asked him, wanted him to do a lot more this season,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and he's been good as of late. So I think
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: that you're gonna kind of see a cumulative effort in
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: terms of his terms of the minutes from guys off
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: the bench, But as far as the production goes, hard
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: not to like Donovan Mitchell right now at ninety seven hundred,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: was already in really good form again multiple I think
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: fifty five plus in at least three straight games that
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: have to go back and check. It's Fantasy points, and
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: his price is now two hundred dollars less than it
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: was last late. He's getting ownership, but hard to argue.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: It looks really really good here. This game should be
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: pretty high scoring and competitive, so there's just a lot
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: to like about him in this spot. Then you look
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: at Jared Allen, who's probably the first guy you think
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: of that's going to benefit with MOBILEI out, and yeah,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: it just is likely that he sees a bump in
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: his rebounding equity, maybe a little bit more minutes at
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: the true five. So at sixty three hundred, it's scary.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: I really don't like playing him these days, but Jared
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Allen looks good. He's getting owned, so I think you
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: can make cases to fade him because this late is
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: massive and you don't want to go too heavy on
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: this first game. But he's not priced for Mobli to
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: be out, so there's a lot to like about Allen
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and Michell. I think those are the first two guys.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Then you start to get to like the Dean Wades,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: who had already started to play more with Hunter being
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: out the past two games. He was Chalking a couple
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: of games ago at thirty six hundred now forty two
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: hundred projected for over thirty minutes. Yeah, I mean, I
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: don't hate it. I never love him, especially at Chalk,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: so I'm probably looking to get away from that, but
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I understand why people are going there. The guy I
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: want to get to is Jalen Tyson. Price is down
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: a little bit at sixty to six hundred. I'm not
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: sure the production matches the price tag from like a
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: projection level standpoint, but I do think he's got upside,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: especially with mobiley out. I think you could just see
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: him play a ton with the ball in his hands
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and if anything gets a little bit wonky as far
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: as Mitchell goes like I think Tyson is the next
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: guy up as far as offensive production goes. So there's
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: gonna be a lot toke on Cleveland. I don't want
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: to get too heavy heavy with it. I think nak
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Kwan Tablin is a guy you could potentially look at
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: for cheap. Is there anyone on Cleveland that you like
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: have the roster here?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I would say that. I think
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that the pricing is pretty fair. I would say that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Jared Allen feels like the most mispriced guy when you
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: cannsider his permanent production. Just the usage role increase with
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Evan Mobley and Garland Off, so I think I'll probably
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: end up getting the most of him. It's also a
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: pretty good matchup for him. DeAndre Aiden's been playing so
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: poorly on defense lately. I think that there's even a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: chance the Lakers run more small ball out there, which
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: would be good for Jared Allen from a rebounding standpoint
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and just scoring around the basket. I think he'll get
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a lot more frontcourt touches and paint touches tonight, So
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I feel like he is my favorite option. But I'm
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: with you on Donovan Mitchell. It feels like he still
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: hasn't Like he put a forty five points last game.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: That was a pretty you know, obviously a really really
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: strong outing, but it still feels like there is room
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: for even more upside for him. His role has just
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: been insane over the last six games. With Daris Garland
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: missing and then you take off Evan Moby as well.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: The usage is way up, touch time, his way up,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: potential assist or way up. So I think there's even
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: a shot, Like I don't know if a triple double
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: is within the range of outcomes, but I do think
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: that a thirty to forty point double double could be
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: something that he flirts with tonight. So I definitely agree
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: with you. I think Donald Mitchell is really really strong,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: But I'm with you on Nick on Tom, and he
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: was kind of the guy that stood out to me.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I feel like, just the role that you have to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: replace Evan Mobley with. He is kind of the guy
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that pops in my mind. Not really a really big
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: offensive threat, but is a super high energy guy. He's
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: also been playing a lot more lately. I really like
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: watching him play. How do you like Tom Tomlin as
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a Cavs fan?
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Love him man like he's been given the Calves everything
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: they've been missing so far, kind of that energy, hustle guy.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: We've talked about the Calves a bunch. They've been very
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: disappointing for much of the season, finally starting to turn
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: it around, but before this little stretch where they've turned
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: it around, a lot of their problems have come from malaise, energy,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: low energy, and Tomlin's been the opposite. So he's been
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: really really fun to watch for the Calves on a
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: two way. I think you're gonna see him as a
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: big part of this rotation with mobiley out.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. There's so many tweets and videos of
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: him combing across my timeline over the past two weeks
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: where he's just sprinting down the court like running like
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: a gazelle. He's he's fun to watch for sure.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: And he's like new to basketball, like very new to basketball.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I can't remember like when he started, but it wasn't
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: until late high school, so he's still learning a lot.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: It might not have been until after high school, I
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: want to say, so very raw still.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, all these guys are gonna get
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a bump, so you ask can I see people ask
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: about Greig Porter. Obviously he's another guy that's gonna get
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: a bump all these guys. That's trickle down effect. You
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: just kind of have to make the decision how much
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you want early? Is my take on the bench guys,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: what about you?
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Same what I'm yeah, same like. I just think
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: guys like Craig Porter, unless he's happening to start at
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: forty four hundred, I'm just not sure how how good
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: guys like that are gonna look the guards. I think
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the big men are gonna look better just because they're
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: shorthanded there. I know that they're that Garland's out, but
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: they've been missing Garland. I get the case for basically
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: anyone on the have bench because they are shallow and
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: we don't know what they're gonna do. But someone like Tomlin,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: at least on paper, looks better to me than someone
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: like Porter.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at least from a minute standpoint. You're also getting
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Sam Merrill and DeAndre Hunter back. They've been missing a
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: lot of the games, so they're getting those guys back,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: which is just gonna loosen up to rotation a little bit.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: As So for me, I feel like there's a big
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: tear drop down from Donovan Mitchell and Jared Allen. In
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: terms of guys that I'll be prioritizing, it's gonna be
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: nakuon Tomlin, and then probably I would put Jalen Tyson
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: into that group, and then everybody else kind of below that.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: As for the Lakers, okay, cool. As for the Lakers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: you got Lebron making his return to Cleveland where it
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: all started. Obviously ninety one hundred. No. Evan Mobley should
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: still be guarded by a pretty solid defender, Dean Wade.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be on him. I feel like he matches
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: up pretty well. I'm not sure that I want to
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: pay ninety one for on with Luca kind of close
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: enough to where he could match him from a point
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: pur seiling standpoint. So I kind of lean Luca here,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: but the matchup is not great for either of them.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Jalen Tysons is playing really good defense. Obviously it's Luca
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: he's match approof. But I do say lean Luca over Lebron,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: and then don't think I really want to mess with
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the rest of the guys. The price is really good
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: for Aden if you think that he's gonna be able
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: to turn it around here. But Ruy's playing really well,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: and I think that they're more than willing to go
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: more small balls. So it's kind of Luca and Lebron
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and a max one of those two guys, and then
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: probably some max two of Lakers overall. How are you
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: prioritizing those guys?
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Lakers don't really look good here from like
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: a projection standpoint point per hour standpoint, I do. I'm
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: with you, it's Luca over Bron here. If you want
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: to give the boost to Bron for going back to Cleveland,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I get it, But I think you're just paying full
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: freight for him right now at ninety one hundred, So
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: could he get there?
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Is he a priority for me?
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: No?
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: And honestly the same with Luca. Twelve to two on
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: this slate is expensive. Now, we could potentially get in
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: our value where you're able to fit him with ease,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: but as of right now, I think there's better roster constructions.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: So you know, again, I like to break it down.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: If I were playing one lineup here, I don't think
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: i'd get to anything from the Lakers.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's probably where I'm at too. I
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: would drive over to the next game Chicago Indie really
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: high total close spread here, so a lot to like
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: here from game environment standpoint does get a little messy
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: when you add in Josh Giddy getting healthier for Cleveland
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: or for Chicago. That will be without Trey Jones for
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: a little bit, but not really too big of a
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: name there. So I think that there is an outside
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: shot for Giddy to get back to the starting lineup.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: He said that he felt really good after last game
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: played twenty eight minutes, which was where they had him
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: capped at. Would I would guess that if he started tonight,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: they probably feel good about him playing around thirty minutes,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: so that would make him interesting get seventy eight hundred,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: But then it just kind of confuses the rest of
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the guys. For me, I don't really know where else
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I'd like to go. I love the matchup for VOUCH.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I think Kobe White would be in a pretty good spot.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: But with Giddy getting healthier, how does that affect his
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: usage as of right now? I kind of don't see
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: this game as when I'm really needing to get to.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: But the game environment, so I could see there being
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of points here. So what are you thinking?
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: About this Indie and Bulls game.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. Like, from a thirty thousand foot view,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: this game looks really appealing, but then when you start
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: to look closer, price tags are where they should be,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: and then you get like the Giddy back to playing
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: more full minutes for the Bulls, and that really muddies
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: up the situation there. The two guys that I like
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: from this game, I think from the Chicago like all
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: their normal guys are in play still, but I think
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: with Giddy back to potentially playing full minutes, it does
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: hurt them. I like what I've seen from Kobe White
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: at seven k I think he's just a tournament play,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: but they're certainly upside there. My favorite play from this
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: game though, is Jarris Walker. He's questionable here, so you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: obviously I like him if he's in, but playing really
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: good ball right now and cheap at fifty two hundred
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: filling either of the forward position, so you can roster
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: him at a bunch of spots, like I'd like Jarris
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Walker here as my favorite player from this game, presuming
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: he's in. Otherwise, like I'm in you, I'm with you,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I should say, I don't think there's much you have
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: to get to from this game, despite like how appealing
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: it does look, just because there's other games that also
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: look really appealing here.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. There would love if Siakam
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: was a little bit cheaper, because I think this is
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: a good spot for him. He's done really well against
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Chicago this season, and just the ways that he gets
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the basket and scores, I think could really shine here.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: But I'm with you. I feel like Jaris Walker is
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the only guy that you're really prioritizing. I think I
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: would have interesting Giddy if I knew that he was
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: starting and playing, if he's like thirty minutes, and he'd
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: be really really interesting because he's been playing well off
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the bench. It's just kind of it's tough to get
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: into a rhythm when you have those short of Since.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I see he is projected to get a little bit
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: of ownership, which I get. I mean, it does seem
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: like this slate is pretty spread out, so there isn't
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: like the chalk we had last night. At least now
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: it's a bigger slate, so that makes sense. Like at ownership,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: I'm more inclined to get off of Giddy, just because
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: you know, again, it's not like he's gonna play full
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: minutes here even if he does, like if he plays thirty.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: He looks really appealing at seventy eight hundred, but there's
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: still outs for him not to get there. Like, I
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: see both sides of it. At that price point, you know,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: he would be the guy from Chicago that you'd want
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: to get to, especially if we've got some sort of
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: like you know, we got their coach saying that he
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: was gonna play more. So I guess we'll just have
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: to wait and see.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe they have a back to back tonight
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: as well, or tomorrow is a back to back, and
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I think they have another back to back over the weekend.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: So some of the beat writers were saying, they'll see
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: how both Kobe and Giddy are spawn to these back
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: to backs to kind of determine how much they're gonna play. Also,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: keep an eye on the starting lineup before Indye. I
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: feel like in a matchup with Vouch, a guy like
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Jay Huff who's been pretty much out of the rotation
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: could come back to life here, So definitely keep an
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: eye on that. He's only four k power for its
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: center eligible, he would definitely be a guy that would
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: be in play for value if he does get a
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: random start here right Orlando at Miami. Orlando really struggling
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: as of late, lost four in a row. Obviously not
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: having Franz Wagner has really hurt them all around offensively
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: and defensively. One of the worst teams over the last
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: two weeks or so. They've been a team that's really
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: been given up to lead handlers all season long, but
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: their three point defense has actually been getting a lot
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: worse as they've had to kind of shift their defensive
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: game plan. Miami coming in in much better form but
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: also pretty thin tonight, know Tyler Hero and then Davian
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Mitchell was downgraded to doubtful. Khalil Ware is questionable, but
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: it sounded like he was at practice yesterday, so good
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: chance that he's back. And then Norman Powell got an
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: upgrade to probable. There was a couple of games earlier
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: this season, I believe, against the two teams that were
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: pretty solid for fantasy purposes. I think there's a lot
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: going on here that you could definitely get into. You
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: have studs spin up for Bam and Paulo, and then
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: you have some mids. Your guys in the Bin Black
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Powell range, and then some value as well on the
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Miami side. So I think there's a lot to talk
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: through here. How you looked at this game feels like
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: one you could definitely get into.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. You mentioned how they played a couple
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: of games that were really good from a fantasy perspective,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: and now that you mentioned that, I believe they played
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: on the first game of the season where everyone was
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: just like, this is not a game you want at all,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: and it ended up being like, by far the best
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: game from a DFS perspective, So kind of shows you
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: the unknowns coming into the season. But I'm with you, like,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: there are kind of good plays in every range here.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I think the best plays are probably like the mid
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: range guys you to touch time them in passing, Jalen Suggs,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Anthony Black, both those guys look to be in play
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: for sure at their price points. You know, you flip
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: to the other side, someone like a Heimi Hakaz Norm
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Powell down to seven K. I'll say this, I think
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: there's a lot to like from this game. Nothing that
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: I love. Is there anything that you absolutely love here?
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Honestly, Bam is kind of sticking out to me here.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I feel like this is a pretty good spot for him,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: just with the way that the Magic are playing on
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: defense or they have been giving up more at around
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: the basket. I think I would need Where to be
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: out to really love him because I think that the
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: high end minutes for Bam could be there if Where
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: does miss. I think he's averaging like thirty six minutes
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: per game against the Magic this season, and he's been
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: flashing ceiling as of laid a couple of fifty point performances.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I feel like he's the guy that is kind of
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: sticking out to me. But then we also need to
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: talk about the point guard situation for the Heat because
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: it is a pretty good spot for whoever starts. It's
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: been Casper's I don't know, you can try to pronounce
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: his last one. I think it's Jocko chonas he's been starting,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: but it's kind of been Drew Smith running away with
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: the bigger role and the more minutes, so that would
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: be probably be playing more into Drew Smith. If playing
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: one of the two, they're not really overlapping at all,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: so you definitely should be max one of those two guys.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: It also feels like a spot where Drew Smith is
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: just matched up better. I think that you kind of
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: replace Daveon's defense with Drew Smith's. A team like the
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Magic that has a lot of guards that you really
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: require somebody like Drew Smith to play defense against. So
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I'm leading him, but definitely keep the lad in for Casprisk.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I think that he does have pretty solid permanent ups.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Is a guy that can fill the stat sheet up
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: a little bit, so if he gets hot, maybe they
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: run with him a little bit more. And hockey has
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: played a ton of minutes last game. I don't think
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be the case moving forward, but it's nice
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: to see that he does have that within the range
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: of outcomes because he's always been a really, really solid producer.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: But on the Magic side, nothing really stands out like
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: you're calling Suggs. Wasn't really considering him, but he is
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: getting healthier, so probably closer to thirty minutes tonight at
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: six point three K good matchup for guards, and I
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: think Paulo should definitely be considered in consideration as a
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: spend up. DE would ask him to rebound a lot
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: more so you've seen the double double bonus he got
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: two last game and they just need win. So I
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: could see him playing a ton right now, close game,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: close spread, and a pretty solid total. So I definitely
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: think this game there's ways to get in it. Into
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: it from like a like creatively, I think you can
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: definitely get into it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: That's a good call on polo, Like they need a
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: w right now, so I mean they're not going to
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: play him forty eight minutes here, but like you could
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: see him playing a little bit more, and he's coming
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: off a really really good game against Cleveland, So I
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: like that call. I feel like between Drew and Casparis,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: it's the answer is easily Drew, with especially him being
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: cheaper regardless of who starts. But the fields teas it
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: the exact same way. So I think you're going to
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: see Drew Smith significantly higher on I don't think you're
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: gonna see him as like uber Chalk today, So I
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: really get the rational for both of them. I'm more
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: likely to play Drew Smith, but I'm like with you
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: don't forget about Casper's either.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you definitely don't. I wouldn't say Drew is a
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: great value played by any means, just because this team
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: is I mean, outside of dave On and Hero, they
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: are fairly healthy, getting Norm and Clail. Weareback for this one,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: so I don't think you need to be running and
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: playing Drew Smith if if you don't want to. I
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: think there's other values on tonight's later just different ways
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: to play the slate, all right. Atlanta at Boston. Atlanta
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: have been playing much better defense as of late, but
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: still think that they have some issues that have been
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: kind of masked. I don't really look at them as
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: a great defense. Their sixteenth over the last two weeks.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Rebounding and riom defense has been improving this month, but
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: there's still bottom three and room defense on the season
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: shouldn't matter too much here. Celtics continued to be a
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: team that's going to be launching a ton of threes,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: but they're also the allowing the most catches shoot threes
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: per game this season, so the way you want to
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: attack them is with perimeter scores. Atlanta definitely has some
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: guys that stand out here, But the one thing I
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: think we need to talk about right off the top,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the Miya's Kada is out tonight. Luca Garza did get
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: upgraded to in but I'm seeing around some places around
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: the industry that Amari Williams is projected to get the
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: start here. That's very interesting. You get three point seven
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: k and I think a pretty decent matchup for him,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: So I definitely have interest there. But kind of talk
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: about this a lot. It goes back to like the
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: drum and bonus stuff. The guy that's coming off the
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: bench is also gonna get a lot less ownership, so
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: that'll be an interesting leverage spot. Yeah, how would you
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: be reacting to the news if Amari Williams does get
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: ruled as the starter.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I still will play garzap personally, like not like
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: if we're playing one fifty. I obviously have exposure to both,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: but I should say this, I like the guards Of
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: playing more than the Williams play off the bench. I
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: projected lower ownership because Garza is undoubtedly the better fantasy
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: the points per minute guy. I think that his ownership
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: would be lower and a lot lower than it would
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: be if he were starting. And like, there's still tons
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: of ways this plays out where gars Of plays more
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: than Williams. If Garza is just better when he's on
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: the floor, Williams could start, Guarsa could close like neither
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: of them could close. I like gars Of more just
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: because he's the better fantasy producer. But I understand why
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: people would want to play a thirty seven hundred hours
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: starting center against Atlanta, so I think they both be
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: in play for sure. I would like the guards Of
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: play more for the reasons you mentioned. You know, he's
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: also five hundred hours more like he will be less
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: owner than Williams, and I just think he's the much
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: better fantasy performer. Do you see it differently?
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: No, Yeah, he definitely looks like at least the uh like,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: we have more historical data of him being the guy
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: that has been a better fantasy producer if only Amari's
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: played in I don't know a handful of games in THEBA,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: so we don't really know that. I'd have to see
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: what ownership looks like, because I do agree with you there.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: If it's like fifty to ten Williams over Garza, then
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I think you just have to take that ownership discount
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: because Garza is gonna play for sure. But I did
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: see somebody in our discord earlier ask if it was
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: smart to play both and just kind of get all
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: the center minutes. I don't think that would be the
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: case to night. Joe Mizula is not a guy that
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: does what you expect him to do, Like, I wouldn't
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: be surprised to see him dust off. I don't even
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: know if Josh Mino is still with the team, but
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: like he was a guy that was starting at center
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: for them earlier this season. But they could easily go
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: to Jordan Walsh as the small ball center. I mean
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: they might even go like Hugan Zalez Baylor Shireman and
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: just move guys up a little bit. Like there's ways
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: that they can get creative, and I don't I wouldn't
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: expect all forty eight of the center minutes to be
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: covered by by the centers tonight. Matt thinks that Williams
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: is better than guards are definitely more talented for sure.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I mean he's younger and has some crazy G League stats.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of these guys that bounce back
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: and forth are gonna have really good G League stats.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Same thing in college. See, I definitely have an interest
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: in Williams.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, go ahead, I was just gonna say this
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: about Garza as far as Williams goes, Like Garza's college
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: offensive stats are amazing like the reason Gars that can't
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: play in the NBA really is because he's like slow
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: footed on defense, but offensively, like he was one of
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: the most talented center prospects like to literally ever play.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: So like him being a DFS, like a guy that
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: can put up points per minute is never a worry
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: for me. If Gars is gonna play like, he's gonna
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: be productive, at least that's how I see it.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: How do you think that he matches up with the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: the Coongu and Jalen Johnson front court.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I don't. I mean, he's gonna get cooked, which is why,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: like it's scary to play him, especially at ownership, But
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: like maybe he is just really good offensively. Maybe they
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: can hide him a little bit, like because they are
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: missing their starting center here. So yeah, I think that
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Williams is the better matchup, certainly defensively, but Guards is
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: going to give them a lot more on the offensive end.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: So I really get playing both of them. I'm also
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: with you, I would not play both of them together
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: because of everything you said. I'd be surprised if they
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: combined for you know, to eat all the center minutes.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: And even if they did, I wouldn't be surprised if
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: like one of them played thirty two and the other
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: played sixteen, depending on who's playing.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, I think at the end of the night,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: when it comes down to it, it'll probably end up
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: being like a maybe like a twenty to twenty two
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: split and then some other guys mixing in for some
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: small ball is what I'm expecting, which is plenty. Like
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: twenty two from either one, I think is enough to
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: hit value if you really run into a hot shooting
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: game from Garza or just Amari Williams gets the rebounds
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: and stocks things like that. As far as the rest
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: of the guys go in this game. On the Boston side,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I have a little bit more interest in the Guards,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Derek White and Paid Pritchard than I do Jalen Brown.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Jalen Brown cooked the Hawks earlier this season, went for
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: forty one, six and two in just thirty minutes, but
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Dyson Daniels wasn't in for that game. Dyson's gonna be
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: on him tonight. I think they're gonna throw a bunch
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: of attention his way. So that kind of leans into
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: more of like the Derek White Pritchard stuff. The hawksman
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: getting killed by Guards lately they're dead last against point
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: guards and DVP, and then over the last seven games
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: they're bottom seven against shooting guards. So I think that
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: it's a pretty solid spot for Pritchard and Derek White tonight.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: And then on the Hawk's side, we didn't really touch
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: on them, but if you want to leave things off there,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: nobody really projecting great, but I think that there is
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: upside for some of these guys.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. No one here is gonna get ownership,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: no one here is gonna project great from a points
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: per hour perspective, but Jalen Johnson always gonna have really
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: high upside. Back down to ten k, cheapest has been
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: in like three weeks, so there's some meat on the
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: bone in there. Like he's not cheap, but he's the
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: cheapest he's been in three weeks. And you know, he's
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: been more inconsistent since the McCollum trade, but his upside
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: has hasn't gone anywhere. So interesting. He's interesting to me
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: at ten k here, o'conwell a little bit intriguing. Dyson Daniels.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: They're pretty healthy, though not much I like from Atlanta.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I think my favorite piece from this game, uh, you know,
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: is I think Derek White. You know, either Derek White
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: or Jalen Brown, you know, the two guys from from
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Boston that you normally want. I get your points on Brown,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: and maybe that's the reason to not play him here
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: when there's a lot of good spend up and the
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: chier options. But you know, he's also just been really
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: really good this year. It seemingly gets there in every matchup.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I think for a stud, he's got one of the
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: better floor ceiling combinations on the slate. He just gets
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: there often, even if it's not like Luca type ceiling.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: I think Brown at this point is just going to
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: be in play on every slate he's on and what
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: should be a competitive, high scoring game here. I think
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I like Jalen Brown a little bit more than you,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: but I don't think he's a muss player or anything.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Yep with you on the Jalen Johnson stuff too. Definitely
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: always in play, but I agree with you about him
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: kind of being a little bit less of a ceiling
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: guy with CJ. I think he's topped sixty d K
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: points just twice since CJ came over, So that's not
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: great to see, but it's nice to see that he
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: still does have that upside. I do think that the
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: matchup is pretty solid for the secondary guys. Not really
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Dyson Daniels because he's more of the guy you want
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: to play when he's facing against a weak rim defense,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: but at cong Wu and any W and CJ should
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: all get up a ton of threes in this matchup.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Congo's pretty interesting at seven pointy five k playing a
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: lot of minutes and then it's kind of gross, But
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: like I wouldn't be opposed to playing a little bit
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: of Lucannard at least keeping him in your playerpool if
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: you're playing mm meets tonight, because he's been playing a
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: lot more even over court Kis butally just traded for
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: he has been playing over him and he's been shooting
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: the ball really well. Always been a sniper. So definitely
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: a good spot against a three point final like the
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Boston Celtics. All right, now we have the Knicks heading
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: into Toronto back to back international travel day for them,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: They're gonna be without a few guys. No Mitchell Robinson,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: no Duce mc bright tonight and then questionable tag on
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Josh Hart. Raptors are fairly healthy for the most part,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: obviously no Yaka Perto, but then a questionable tag on
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Colin Murray Boyles, who's been out for I believe like
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: a week or so. Raptors really clicking right now on defense,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: and the Knicks are coming off of a string of
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: really really good games, still not playing the best defense,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: kind of getting lit up against pick and roll heavy guys.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I think this game is one of the worst on
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: the slates, at least from just a total game environment standpoint,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: really low total close spread, which is good, but I
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: think that there are some ways that the Knicks can
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: hit ceiling. I mean, you're taking away two big rotation guys, catsmen.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: It should be more secure at cent, but he'll have
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: a tough matchup against either one of CMB or Scottie Barnes.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I think it'll be Scotty Barnes on him, and then
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Brunston did cook the Raptors earlier this season. But I
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: don't really see anything on the Knick side that is
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: truly like a standout play. If I had to choose one,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: it would be cut at eight point three kids, because
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: we talked about all the time, a little too cheap
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: for the upside that we know that he has, Yeah,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: that's probably it for me and the Knicks, and then
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: the Raptors is kind of gross too. I think it's
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: just e manual quickly, just because he's got a little
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: bit of a revenge spot and he's just been playing
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: really great, really great lately.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he stole that one for me that was gonna
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: be my guy from this game quickly here, Like, I
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: think he's priced where he should be, but clearly there's upside.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: He's gotten there with upside like the past three or
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: four games. Now you get him in a revenge spot
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: against the team that played last night. I'm interested in
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: him here. Like he's projected to be like one to
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: two percent own at some places I'm seeing on a slate,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Like that's really intriguing to me, Like, clearly he's got upside.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: At this price tag, games should be close, Like I
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: don't love it from a DFS perspective, but that doesn't
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: mean I think no one's gonna get there. So I
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: like to quickly call and then we pretty much always
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: see towns eye to eye, and we do here too.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: I think that in this spot, at this price tag,
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: he's too cheap for his upside, but he's also got
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: a low floor. We've seen it a bunch of this year.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: It's not a good matchup, so just know what you're
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: getting yourself into with Towns. I don't think he'll be
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: owned really though, so that makes me even more interested
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: in him in tournament. So the Towns quickly like run
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: back looks good to me here. I like both those guys.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: Other than that, nothing I like from this game. I
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: think you kind of said it best. The Knicks just
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: don't really look good here. They are missing a couple
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: of rotation guys, but prices are where they should be.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: They're not in a good spot, and they played last night.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like if there was ever a spot
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: for Kat to really hit at lowernship, it would be tonight.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's averaging like thirty three minutes per game
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: in games that mister Robinson missed the season, just under
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: fifty DK points, And I get it. The matchup is
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: really bad with how good the Raptors have been playing
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: on defense. But still, I mean, Kat is he's much
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: better than he has been playing later at least then
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: the box score has been showing, because last night he's
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: actually pretty good. From a permanent standpoint, just didn't see
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: a ton of minutes because the game was kind of
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: out of reach. They didn't really need him. Maybe they
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: knew that Mitch rob was going to be out for
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: this game. They probably did, and they're just like, let's
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: get him more minutes. But I mean, even in the
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: game against Brooklyn, like he was on his way to
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: a massive game, only played twenty minutes. So I kinda
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: like Katsnight, I think I'll they'll probably get a good
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: good amount of him and then yeah, just kind of
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: echoing your sentiment on manual Quickly Eastern Conference Player of
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the Week and playing great revenge spot, good pick and
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: roll matchup for him. So I like that call there,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: all right. Charlotte at Memphis Charlotte surprisingly one of the
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: hottest scenes in the NBA over the last couple of weeks.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: They are they have the best point different over the
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: last two weeks, thinks in large parts with a few
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: huge blowouts. They're third in defense first, and offense been
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: getting it done with some really hot three point shooting
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: and the rebanding rebounding has been spectacular. Lusa, Diabate, Cockbran
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: and all those guys really contributing there. So I think
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: it sets up pretty well for them here matchup wise
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: against a team like Memphis who's a huge three point final.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: All these guys should be well arrested to only played
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: like twenty to twenty five minutes last game in the
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: blowout win over Philly. This is a back to back
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: for Charlotte's well front end of a back to back,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: So LaMelo is going to be managing one of these
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: two games. But these prices are really really good for
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: all these guys. I have a lot of interest in LaMelo,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges, and con on the Charlotte side.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Why lets you break it down how you see in
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: the Charlotte side of things.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I continue to like Charlotte. Like Charlotte's in a
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: weird spot right now because, as you said, they they're
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: playing really good ball right now. They've been involved in
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: a bunch of blowouts. The games they've lost, they've gotten
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: blown out, So the minutes have been so wonky for
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: these guys. Granted some a couple of the games where
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: these guys have gotten full minutes, they haven't gotten there.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Namely I'm looking at you, Miles Bridges, but man sixty
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: three hundred for Miles Bridges here just stands out like
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: a sore thumb. To me, I am biased. I like
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: him a lot, I play him a lot, and outside
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: of like the past, I don't know week ten days,
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: like he would be an auto smash at this price point.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Now he hasn't gotten there even at this tag in
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: a bunch of the recent games. But I think that
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: can be attributed a lot to the blowout and just
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: lack of minutes. So I wanted to go right back
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: to Bridges here, Brandon Miller, Konkin Nipple. I like all
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: three of those guys a lot. I want to like LaMelo.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: They've been really, really weird with his minutes though on
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: back to backs, especially like playing him, just weird amounts
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: in both games. We don't know what they're gonna do here.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: So I think he's got upside at seventy six hundred,
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: but there's a real floor that or two. He is
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: now getting to the price point though, where the minutes
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: start to become less of a concern, Like he was
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: eighty five hundred than eight K. Now he's you know,
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: seventy six hundred mid seven K range. Like, clearly he's
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: got upside at this tag. I mean, we've seen it
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: a ton with him, so I like a lot of
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Charlotte here. They're pretty clearly, at least so far, my
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: favorite team that we've talked about. I want exposure here.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: It's hard for me to decipher between like con Brandon Miller,
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: and Miles Bridges. I like all of them at their
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: respective tags. And then I think LaMelo is the wild card.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: How do you see it?
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with you on the LaMelo stuff. If with the
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: price being as low as it is, if he's starting,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: he got him in there for like twenty eight minutes,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I think that's plenty of time for him to hit ceilings.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I'm with you there, But for me, I do have
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: a kind of a strong lean to Brandon Miller is
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: the number one guy for me, just a lot working
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: in his direction. He's been shooting the ball great as
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: of late last two games, says like an nine true
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: shooting percentage, but over the last seven games he's seen
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: more involvement in the offense, more usage, seventy percent true
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: shooting percentage, shooting forty five percent from three, which is
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: kind of the That's a big one for me because
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I love the match for three point shooters. There was
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: like a time where he was taking a ton of
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: shots but not making them. But now he's taking a
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: little bit less over the last three games but making
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: a lot more. If you run into a game where
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: he's playing full minutes and taking more and making more,
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's just been more efficient scoring the ball.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: I think that there's a ton of upside for him.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: So he's my favorite. But then I think I have
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Con slightly behind Miles Bridges. I wish these guys had
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: different eligibility. They're all I mean, they all this like
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: the right eligibility for sure, but it'd be better if
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: they had like shooting guards, small forward, small forward, power forward,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: things like that. But I do like the spot for
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Con here. Just think he's kind of the forgotten man
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: in the offense but still producing even not even having
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: that high of a usage rate. The three point percentage
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: has come down a little bit, but it is a
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: good spot for him and Brandon Miller.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like all those guys. I think this is
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: a game that I don't love the Memphis side, but
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: I think I like it more than the field. Also,
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: like they're coming off a really tough spot against Houston.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: You know, at least so far. This is the best
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: game that we've talked about from a DFS perspective. I
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: don't mind running it back with like a Cam Spencer
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: at sixty four hundred Eccentric Coward at fifty eight hundred.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: I think those would be my two favorite guys. But
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: but namely Spencer, I like playing him when John Morant
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: is out. Now he's not cheap anymore, but I still
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: think he can get there with upside at this price
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: point in a matchup that I think could be relatively
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: high scoring and close. So give me some lowan Cam
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Spencer here.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was looking at him too. He's been obviously
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: been really good in the games that Jaws missed and
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: as of late been playing really well. He doesn't shoot
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: the ball, I think. I mean, he's a really good
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: He has a pretty solid offensive game, just not taking
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: a ton of shots. He's also ran kind of hot
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: with the potential assists lately's averaging fifteen potentials per game
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: converting twelve. That's like you don't really get that type
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: of conversion. So I think that there might be like
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: the assist numbers might be a little bit skewed, but
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: I agree, like I think that he would be the
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: guy that I prefer, just because I think that he
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: can get there if he does decide to get more
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: shots of an offense than coward two. I'm with you there.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Nice se him get up to thirty minutes last game, didn't.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: I kind of thought that they had him like a
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: soft limit, but they never really said anything. So it's
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: good to see that he has that in his in
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: his bag. And then I'm okay with Jock. He's been
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: playing really well. It's not a great match up for him.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: The Hornet's really good rebound on the ball, have been
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: playing really good basketball defend or defending the rim, so
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: I think that it's kind of a negative spot for him,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: and he's been shooting it hyper efficient. I don't think
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: that's going to continue. Any thoughts in Jaron seven point
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: four K.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, with land out safety back, I'm good there. Like
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I think there's like neat on the bone at that tag,
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: But I think most of the time he's just going
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: to be a play that gives you like thirty three
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: fantasy points and you're not gonna really want him.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I saw somebody after the Houston game just kind
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: of point out how crazy it was that somebody that's
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know, like eleven years older. I don't know
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: how much older KD is to Jared Jackson, but he
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: played like like not double his minutes, but like eight
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: or ten more minutes than Jared Jackson did.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: That's sad.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely think that he might get traded, but we'll
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: see what happens there. Minnesota at Dallas. Anthony Edwards will
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: be back tonight after getting the night off. Has dealing
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: with some sort of foot injury that's kind of been
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: holding him in and out of the lineup, but he'll
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: be back tonight. This is a front end of a
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: back to back for Minnesota, I believe, and they play
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Okay see tomorrow, so definitely want to get your guys
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: ready for that one. And then on the Dallas side,
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: i'd semi big injury news for sure. I mean, Cooper
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Flagg been playing great in the absence of Anthony Davis.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: He's questionable, was limited in practiced the other day, didn't
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: really do too much, and then Klay Thompson got the
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: downgrade earlier in the day, so I feel like he's
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: probably more than likely going to sit tonight. I think
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: this game has a chance to get a lot better
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: if you get the questional tags on Dallas if those
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: guys get ruled out. I already like Anthony Edwards a
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: good bit here. Just think that Dallas doesn't have the
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: defenders that can really stay in front of him. They've
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: been getting killed by guards of his archetype all season long.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: So I like him and I like Gobert as my
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: two top options on the Minnesota side. But yeah, breakdown
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: to me what you're seeing from this game and from
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Dallas if we do get the Q tags out for them.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so from Dallas, I do think, like you said,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: obviously a big tag that are with Cooper Flag. I
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: kind of lean him not playing. He was doubt for
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: the game over the weekend. That game got canceled, so
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: questionable here. Kind of lean on him not playing, which
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: would make everyone on Dallas look more desirable, like as is,
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: guys like Brandon Williams, Max Christy, like those guys look
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: pretty good. Someone like Brandon Williams would look a ton
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: better if Cooper Flag is out. So obviously, I think
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: this is one of the later games on the slate.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure how many lock here after, maybe only
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: one or two so it's news. Hopefully we get earlier
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: rather than later, but just pay attention to it because
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: flag being out is going to make all these Dallas
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: guys look more desirable. And as I said with him in,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: I think these guys are still in play. My favorite
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: guy from Dallas is Najie Marshall. Kind of reminds me
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: of Quickly here where he's just on a heater playing
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: really good ball and he's not getting ownership and his
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: tag isn't moving. There's a little bit of sticker socket
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: sixty nine hundred. But man like, I like him a
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: lot here. I heard you call this out yesterday. I
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: appreciated the shout out shooting guard small Ford eligible can
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: roster them at five different positions. That gives you a
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: lot of different flexibility, and normally with guys like that,
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: you see their ownership get high because you can roster
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: them at so many spots. Not happening with Naji Marshall here.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: So I really like him as a low owned play
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: like not a cash game guy, but I don't play
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: cash games in tournaments. He's one of my favorite plays
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: on the slate. All the other Dallas guys get a
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: big bump with Cooper flag out. Why don't you break
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: down Minnesota?
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with you for sure on the Naji Marshall stuff
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: like some Max chrisy as Well shooting great over the
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: last four games, seventy two percent true shooting. And then
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: with you Brandon Williams can only get better already in
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: play right now? Yeh. For me, it's I like aunt Aton.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I think nine point three K is a really good
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: price seg for him mentioned at the top. I just
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: think that it's a really good spot. Just don't see
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: anybody in Dallas that's capable of selling him down. Got
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: the night off a couple of nights ago. The only
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: thing that worries me is the back to back. But
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: he's if is in, he's gonna play full minutes. I
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: don't really think that's too big of a factor. But
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Rudy Gobert, I think is. I don't know if I
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: like him more than ant, but I like him a lot.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: At six point four K, I feel like that's too
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: cheap of a price sag for how well and how
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: much he's playing right now. And Dallas is a team
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: that just gets killed on the boards, gets killed around
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: the basket. They will be getting Gafford, you know, getting
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: a little bit healthier. But it's not like Gafford is
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: a great defender or a great at limiting center. Production
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: by any means that Dallas has been one of the
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: worst teams at given him fantasy points all season long.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Rudy's on both sides of the DVP sheet the season
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: long and two weeks last two weeks. So I think
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: that he's the guy that kind of stands out for me,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: always fine with like Randall and nas Reed. And then
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: I think that Bones is not He's not not in play.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of positive coach speak from Chris
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Finch after the game against Golden State, and there's a
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: chance that Mike Conley's just a DMP tonight and Bones
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: gets all those backup point guarden shooting guard minutes tonight.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: So I think that they like him a lot. They
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: wanted to be more aggressive, so I wouldn't be opposed
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: to getting onto him for the like at least for
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: some late swap just kind of emergency stuff.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's also where like the game Tom could benefit
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: because I'm with you, like especially the first game I'm
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: back to back. I'm not concerned about it as much
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: as the second game, because you know what happened in
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: the first game for the second game. But and you
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: expect in the first game, in a close game, they're
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: gonna give it their all and it's gonna play full minutes.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: But if the game does get a little lopsided, I
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: think they're more apt to pull their guy sooner, which
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: would make someone like Bones stand out. Go Beart or
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Jared Allen here.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was That was kind of the one v
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: one that was on my mind when I saw the
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Gobert play. I feel like it's got to be Jared
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Allen's because you know that he's going to get the production,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: like he has much less to compete with than Rudy
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Gobert does. But I do like the matchup a little
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: bit better for Rudy. I would say that it might
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: be honestly, it might be better for Jared Allen now
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: with how bad Aiden's been. What do you what do
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: you think?
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: I think it's really close. I think ownership is going
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: to be pretty close. I think Allen will be higher owned,
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: but I think Gobert will be owned, especially coming off
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: a really good game. I don't have like a strong
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: lean I think that you can really make the case
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: for either of them, and at the end of the day,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: I think they look really similar and project pretty damn
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: similarly as well.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, before I jump into the last two games,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: I want to take some time to ask you guys
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: to kindly hit the like button gut over three and
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: fifty guys watching right now. If any of you are
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: not a member and you want to become a member.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: You could see at the top of the screen here
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: we got the code ship nineteen five days for nineteen
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: trying to do a better job in that because Matt
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: took over for that last last week, doing a little housekeeping.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I want to shout that out there, all right,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: second last game, let's say we got my Utah Jazz
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: welcoming in the Golden State Warriors back to back for Utah,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: and injury report is fairly clean, at least from the
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: last I've seen. I'm not sure if they've completely filed everything,
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: but I did. We know some guys are going to
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: be out. Kevin Love is out and Laurie is off
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: the injury report, Kyante off the injury report. We do
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: have a questionable tag on Nurkicchen, Cody Williams still waiting
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: for them to report on those guys. For the Warriors,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: they are fully healthy, obviously minus Jimmy Butler Kaminga. Those
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: guys will be out Jimmy dunf for the season. Obviously
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Kaminga done for the next few games, but Steph will
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: be back, Draymond's back, Horford Danthony Melton off the injury report,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: and then Gary Payton is probable. Obviously, anytime Utah is
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: on the slate, you want to be looking at the
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: opposing team. A little bit of a different situation for
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Golden State because we know that Steve Kurr loves to
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: run an eleven man sometimes even twelve man rotation, so
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: it makes it a little bit more difficult. You're not
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: getting thirty six minutes from a stud like Stephen Curry's
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: price at nine K, and you're also probably not getting
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: anybody into the mid thirties, so it makes it a
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: little bit tougher. But all these guys are obviously really
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: strong plays at these price tags in this good of
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: a matchup. So I'll kick it over to you first,
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: what are you prioritizing on the the Warrior's side, And
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: then if you wanted to talk on the Jazz after
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: that then be my guests.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man, so much ownership coming into the Warriors here,
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: Like I get it. Horford forty three hundred, he's too cheap.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: Curry even with like the lack of big time, and
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: it's still probably too cheap at nine K, Draymond fifty
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: five hundred, probably a little bit too cheap. The main
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: three guys, those are them right there. Then you're starting
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: to get into like the d Anthony Mountains of the world.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: He's also getting ownership, Like on this big of a slate.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: I understand the ownership for all these guys, like I
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: make sense each one individually. But I don't think there's
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: any one guy here that I'm afraid to fade. Al
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: Horford looks like the best points per dollar guy here,
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: but it's Al Horford forty three hundred. It's not like
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: he's free. So yeah, play him if you want, but
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: I don't think you have to play him in tournaments.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: I feel the same about Curry at nine k. Certainly
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: there's guys in his price range that can beat him.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: Draymond hasn't gotten there in weeks, even at this price point,
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I understand the ownership here, but man, on
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: this big of a slate, I kind of like the
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: idea of getting away from it. There are tons of ways,
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: or this game just gets wonky and no one gets there.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: I certainly see the outcome is where everyone gets there,
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: but ownership is already there in a big, big way here.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: So I really don't like that, especially with other games
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: that I think are desirable. Now, a lot of the
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: games we talked about you don't love, but there were
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: some diamonds in the rough there, and you might have
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: to get a little bit comfortable with being uncomfortable fading
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: some guys from this game. But I'm fine doing that
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: because I don't want to be loading up on Chalk
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Warriors here. Given everything that we know, which is what
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: you broke down, it's Steve Kerr. They're going to run
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: a big rotation. No one here is going to play
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: big minutes. They're probably gonna go with the hot hand
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: approach for a lot of these rotation guys. So it's
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: flimsy chalk and it's big chalk. So in tournaments, especially
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: like tonight where we've got that two twenty two, three
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: thousand person tournament instead of like a seven seven seven,
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: five hundred person tournament. I think you gotta think a
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: little bit more outside the box, which I'm willing to do.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: From the Utah side, they don't look as good as
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: the Golden State guy as the Golden State side does.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: But Kiante is always going to be in play for
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: me as a low spend up option. He's just been really,
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: really freaking good this year. And then Nurkic. I like
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: Nurkic if he plays. If he's out, I think the
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: trickle down effect we see Philip Houks can be come
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: in play. But if nurk is in, I think he
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: is a really really intriguing contrarian option at seven to eight.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: And I think if you're playing someone like nirk I'm
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: cool with playing more of the Golden State chalk because
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: you're running it back with a really low owned guy
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: with upside.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: YEP, that's exactly what I was going to lead off
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: with three straight triple doubles for Nurkic, by the way,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: he's the I think he might have like the most
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: triple doubles in jazz history now. If not, he's only
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: he's the only one that's done it three times in
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: a Row I know that for sure, but I believe
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: he marriviag has probably more than three. But yeah, I
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: agree with you there. I feel like if you're playing NRK,
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: if you're playing Kiante, if you're playing Lori, you're betting
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: on the game environment doing well, so it does make
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: sense to pair them up. I would think that Steph
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: is probably the easiest guy to click on because if
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: you're getting full minutes from Steph, he's gonna smash. Like
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: if if I'm if you told me Steph was playing
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: thirty four minutes an I in a close game, like
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: I might project him from fifty five to sixty points,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: Like I don't see a way a world where he
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: doesn't go off in this matchup. But then like the
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: main guys that would play closer in a blowout would
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: be like Pods, Draymond Melton, and then you can get
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: away from some of the other guys like Horford, I
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: would think. But I agree with you, like it's never
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: never comfortable playing the Warriors Chalk. I feel like you
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: can probably come into the sleigh with a little bit
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: of rules to limit how much shot you're getting, especially
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: in that two twenty two, Like you said, the rules
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: that I would say is like if one of nurkic
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: KIATR Lorii, then at least one of or maybe even
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: two of like Steph POD's Draymond Melton, and then for
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: the Warriors groupings, you could say Max one of Melton
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: and Pods Max one of Draymond and Horford. I know
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: that they'll probably start alongside of each other, but I
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: feel like they're gonna be competing for rebounds and assists
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: ats together, So I would be Max one of those
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: two guys, and then I think that's probably it like
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: it would. I don't think you're gonna really get too
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: deep into the bench guys like Guisanto's post or Buddy Heild,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: who I do think Buddyhild is another guy that's kind
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: of that should be in play, just a really good
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: matchup for three point shooters. I'm not not exiting him out,
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I think this this game definitely has upside,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: obviously highest over under on the slate, but there are
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: ways that the Warriors shock could go wrong.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's more like there's certainly a lot of risk
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: in fading you know, guys from this game, but it's
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: more just like the ownership is already there. And as
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: we've talked about a bunch me and you, at least
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: like we've seen ownership, like the projections, especially like guys
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: that are projected to be really popular are only that
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: much more popular and smaller field stuff. Yeah, and like
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: even though it's you know, the two twenty two has
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: more people than like the whatever, Sky five five or whatever,
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: it's still a smaller field tournament. So it's still going
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: to have much higher ownership on these guys. So that's
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: the real reason to get away from it.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people play it as if it's a lot smaller
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: than it actually is too, So that would be right,
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: you'd be you gotta be okay leaning into a little
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: bit of that's a great point. Yeah, all right. Last
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: game on the slate, uh sant Antonio Spurs Houston Rockets.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: This is a rematch from a few few days ago.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: I believe this team's played last week or at least
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: a week before that. But yeah, this is the lowest
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: total on the slate. Makes sense too defensive minded teams,
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: so it's not really that surprising, but they're there is
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: obviously a lot of star power in here. You got
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: wemby Castle Fox on one side, Segoon, durant Im and Thompson.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: So there's definitely ways that we get some really high
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: fantasy scores from these guys. Feels a little bit less
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: likely than some of these other games. But ownership is
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: going to be extremely low here. If you see nobody
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: even getting double digit ownership Tar East and only one
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: near at nine percent. I mean, I'm always interested in Wemby.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: It seems now like the minutes limit for him is
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: starting to come off. Obviously, had an awful game against
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: the Rockets last time they faced. They had a really
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: good game plan for him. We're putting some smaller guys
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: on him. He went five for twenty one from the field,
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: but it's Wemby like he's matchup proof. I feel like
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: they'll obviously try to get him more involved early and
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: change up the matchup for him a little bit. So
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: I feel like he's the best option probably in this game,
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: if not on the Spurs side itself. So I like
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: him the most, but I'm okay with Castle. I think
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I like Castle more than Fox. Here should see a
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: week of defender. Thompson will be on Darren Fox, so
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be Jabari Smith on Castle, who's not obviously
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: not bad, but Castle can fill the stats sheet. Houston
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Rim defense has been a lot worse. He just was
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: really inefficient scoring the ball last game against the against
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: the Rockets, so I like him as the second option.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: That's probably where I cut it off. Though. Last time
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: I talked about I believe it was it might have
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: been last Wednesday. We talked about the or at least
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: I talked about Champagne being a bad play and his ownership,
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: and he went for eight threes or whatever it was
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: against team that doesn't give up any threes. Yeah, any
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: any thoughts on the on the store side now?
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: Was it was actually last Tuesday? And then we chuckled
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: about it before the show last Wednesday, because I remember
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: I happened to catch it like the show right at
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: that moment, and I was like, God, like, what are
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: the odds this dude good? It's like ten threes and
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: the worst matchup possible. But of course I don't love
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: this game from a fantasy perspective. What does stand out
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: is what you mentioned, a lot of star power here,
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: so like Wemby always going to be in play, especially
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: with the minutes ticking up, like he's not going to
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: be owned also, which is intriguing. I think that on
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: this particular slate, like he's not going to be a
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: priority for me, but I understand why anyone would want
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: to prioritize him, especially a low ownership. I like Shangoon
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: on the other side, Boombus spot for him. He's coming
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: off a really good game here. I just love the
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: price tag and the positionality he has with still being
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: powerfulward eligible. He's had some spike games in this spot too. Obviously,
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: they've played a bunch and he's got some performances that
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: you wouldn't want at this price tag, but he's also
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: got a couple that could win you a slate, So
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: he's also kind of match up proof because he's his
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: own entity Sun Goon, He's going to be a guy
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: I like on every state he's gonna get no ownership,
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: and that's going to be the case tonight. And then
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you about Reed Shepard. I was
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: high on him last slate. I didn't end up seeing
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: what happened any idea why he only played fifteen minutes,
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: obviously far from the norm from what he had been playing.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: It just seemed like he was shooting the ball terribly
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: and not doing enough on defense. So it's kind of
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: if you're shooting bad and you're also him, Yeah, exactly,
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: like he's over seven from three two for eleven from
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: the field, like he was getting clean looks. He was
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: watching the game, but it just it just they seemed
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: like they wanted to go. I think it was even
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: who was seeing miss Oh Kogie I believe finished or
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: started or sorry closed over him and Tari Easton. I
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: think even who else was mixing there, Jashon Tate I
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: believe mixed in for a little bit. So yeah, it
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: was just kind of a bad runout for Rechephard. But
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: he was kind of the hero in the game the
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: last time the teams faced off, so obviously it's a
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: high variance guy like Rea Sheepherd. You probably could keep
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: him in your player pool, but he's getting a little
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: bit of ownership too, So I'm.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like he's someone I would love at like no ownership,
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: but at ownership, I have no interest. Just there's so
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: much downside there, we just thought, and like he's not
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: free either, so I think they're certainly upside there. And
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: again if he falls through the cracks and he ends
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: up being like two or three percent on then I'll
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: definitely want some of him. We just don't won't know
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: that before the slate Yep.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: I agree with you on Seng Gun though, he's probably
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: the top option in Houston. Like you said, there's been
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: these teams to face off a ton in the same
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: division or conference, I believe. I don't know if that's
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: that's true. I don't really I don't think conferences really
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: even matter. But he's averaging fifty or went over fifty
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: d K points twice against the Spurs' season, averaging just
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: under forty seven against Wemby. But he does have like
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: an eighty plus point performance against Wemby in his game locks,
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: So definitely upside still there. Like this could easily be
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: a game that stays really close and is surprising high scoring.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: But I think the more likely outcome is that it
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: is it is lower scoring. But I don't mind Katie
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: or Tari. Either matchup's gonna be a little bit better
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: for those guys than it will be for Seng Gooon. Obviously,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Wemby gonna be on Sangoon KD probably seeing Harrison Barnes
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: and KELDN Johnson and then Tari, Like it could be
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Darren Fox on him. I just don't know who they're
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: gonna start with if Tarri is in the starting lineup, Like,
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna They're definitely not putting some
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: fun castle on him. Maybe Champagne. I feel like Champagne
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: probably makes more sense on Jabari Smith, So it's probably
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: gonna be Darren Fox on Tory Easton. I feel like
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty pretty good matchup considering tars is gonna
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: be crashing the basket, so I think that he's pretty solid.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that call. I think that's a good
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: like because he's not gonna get ownership either. One other
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: thing I wanted to call out about Sangoon here, like
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: especially I think Shangoon gives you a good out from
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: Curry here, Like, if you like your line up, just
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: you know you've got guys that have snowflakes or whatever,
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: you have Curry at the utility, make sure you have
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: another couple of hundred because Curry is gonna be really popular.
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: And if you get off him for Sandoon and Curry
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: happens to bus like that could be enough to get
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: you cashing. You know what I'm saying, so it gives
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: you a little bit of an out at the same
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: price point.
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: Yep, good shout there. Yeah, I mean definitely a game
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: you could get into. Don't need to force it. But
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: there's obviously a lot of a lot of star power
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: in this one for sure. All right, that is all
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: nine games. Got four hundred of you watching now, So
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: just ask you kindly one more time, please hit the

• 59:26
  Speaker 2: doing this stuff with you. But yeah, any any close
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: thoughts before this pick slate?
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: No closing thoughts, but wanted to ask you favorite low
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: on play on the slate because there's a lot of
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: them tonight.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. I haven't had enough time to think about it.
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: But yeah, my bad to put you on the spot
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: No, it's all good. If you If you got a guy,
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: then please do the.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: I got two guys that I'm happy you asked two guys.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: We talked about him earlier. I like the run back
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: here towns and quickly Yeah.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna get really low ownership on that pairing,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: I think quickly, it's not even projected for a single
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: percentage right now, and then Kat only gonna be four percent,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: usually becoming really low on these slids. I like that call. Yeah,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: I think for me it's I mean, I don't I
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: don't know if Brandon Miller does come in coming at
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: this price or at this ownership thirteen percent if it
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: could be lower. But I like him a lot. I
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: think that this is a really really good matchup for him.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: So he's kind of the guy that I'm honing in on.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: But I also think Nurkic if he plays like just
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: ride the hot hand, if he's gonna be loaned.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the nerd call. I love the ner call.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: And that's Charlotte Memphis game, and I think it is
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: my favorite, like low O game stack or game of
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: the night.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, any bets. I don't know what Steph Curry's three
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: point line is, but that would be one I'd be
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: I'd be laddering all the way up to eight. Probably.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: I think that's that's the only one. I really they
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: really sit up for me. He's averaging six may threes
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: against the Jazz this season, and that was the game
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: where he barely played like thirty minutes. And so if
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: you if we get a random game where the jazz
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: keep a close thirty four minutes like Steph could go
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: for ten plus, Oh yeah, that's gonna do it. Appreciate
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: all you guys tuning in. We're able to get this
• 1:01:12
