my condolences to all the Atlanta Falcons fans out there. Kirk Cousins two hundred

1:14

1:17
moves. But this is an NBA show, so we'll talk that. But
1:21
a lot of money to be made out there in those NFL streets these days,
1:23
but we're here to talk to six games a lot of value, especially
1:27
in the Mahause city. So looking forward to breaking it all down for you.
1:32
Yeah, in the midst of a wild, wild day in the NFL,
1:34
here right. Obviously my packers signing Josh Jacobs, releasing Aaron Jones,
1:38
releasing Dylan. They just signed Xavier McKinney, which is a huge addition there.
1:42
Four years beefing up that defense. The Pasers are freaking going all in.
1:47
Baby Josh Jacobs a little bit younger there than Aaron Jones. We'll see.
1:49
Maybe there's some underlying injury concerns there with with Aaron Jones behind the scenes
1:55
that we don't know about. But excited for that, Excited for NFL obviously

a lot of promo. Have to do it right, have to do keep
3:58
the bosses happy, You have to do the marketing spiel off the top.
4:00
But let's talk about this slate. Let's talk about the six games we have
4:03
on tap. We're gonna start with the Charlotte Detroit game here. Big news
4:06
in this one. LaMelo Stale out obviously, mcgallan's out, drey Man is
4:11
doubtful outside of that of st. Thompson on the Detroit side is questionable.
4:15
That's probably the biggest piece of news. Quentin Grimes is probably likely to play
4:19
here on the Detroit side. Talk about this one. Not a ton of
4:23
ownership to kick us off. Not the greatest game in terms, but it's
4:26
two teams that don't play a lot of defense. Where you're going in this
4:29
one, Jalen Duran looks like the best play right now as it stands from
4:32
a projection standpoint. But where you looking in this one? Yeah, you
4:36
said it. I mean this, uh, you know, not doesn't look
4:39
like a lot of folks are going here tonight. Uh, you know,
4:43
ownership wise, But these are two teams that are allergic to defense, and
4:46
I think we got some good good plays in this game. You said it.
4:48
I mean, We'll just start with Jalen Durnan. I think he's a
4:50
great, a great spot tonight. You know, Uh, Charlotte versus Bigs
4:56
all year long has just been getting annihilated. And Jared Durham Jalen Durty,
5:00
sorry, at sixty four hundred, I think is a great play for starters.
5:03
And then his front court mate Isaiah Stewart Beef stew at fifty one hundred
5:10
power forward and center eligible. I think I think Isaiah Stewart is a great
5:15
play today. You know, we haven't projected for almost twenty seven points.
5:17
I think he beats that, you know, quite quite a bit tonight.
5:21
A Sward Thompson left the game early. I think he had an illness of
5:26
some sort the other night. So obviously monitor Asar Thompson if he doesn't start.
5:31
Simone Fotechio, former Utah Jazz grad he's been been playing pretty well small
5:38
Ford power forward eligible forty seven hundred dollars as well, don't mind that play.
5:43
And then Cad Cunningham, Jaye and Ivy, I mean, you know
5:46
both are point guard eligible, Jade and Ivy shooting guard eligible. I mean
5:50
they both have great matchups too. So I just listed all five starters basically
5:55
for the Pistons, who I really like tonight. I think they can exploit
5:58
this Charlotte team all relatively you know, price relatively good. We have some
6:02
spinning ups tonight with Luca and and or Jokic, so you're gonna need some
6:09
of these guys. And I don't mind any of those five starters assuming Thompson's
6:13
out for the Pistons. And on the flip side, this Hornets team,
6:17
you know, they're facing a horrendousity as well. And Vasili Micic has been
6:21
playing a ton of minutes right Trey Man has been out and or injured a
6:26
lot of the time, and he you know, he's logged thirty plus minutes
6:29
in pretty much five straight games, So don't mind Michiz there. And then
6:33
two other people I want to mention Grant Williams strictly based on price fifty six
6:39
hundred against this Detroit team I think is a great spot. And then lastly,
6:42
Miles Bridges, probably my favorite hornet small for power forward eligible eighty seven
6:47
hundred bucks, should have his way tonight with this Pistons team. I really
6:51
like Miles bridge is my favorite hornet, but I think this is game needs
6:57
that DFS. There's gonna be plentiful points scored tonight in this game, in
7:00
my opinion. Yeah, no, a great breakdown here. I agree with
7:05
a lot of the takes. My favorite play on the Charlotte side is going
7:10
to be Miles Bridges. The matchup's great for him. He's a mad man
7:13
right now playing playing. I mean he's coming off what back to back fifty
7:16
right fifty seven forty five and a half, thirty nine minutes, forty one
7:19
minutes, twenty seven shot attemps, fifteen shot attempts ten, ten to three
7:24
point attemps, five to three point attempts. He's a mad man right now.
7:27
Gets a good matchup here. Obviously Detroit doesn't play a look at defense.
7:30
And then on the other side, I love Kate Cunham. Caid's been
7:32
bawling, absolutely balling since the All star break, and I look for him
7:36
to keep that up here. He's got a plus match up here against Charlotte.
7:41
So I really like Caid, really like Jalen Duran as well from the
7:44
Detroit side. On the Charlotte side, Miles Bridges I like a lot here
7:47
outside of Miles Bridges don't have a ton of interest. I mean, you
7:51
can play a guy like Brandon Miller right at that for a little bit cheaper
7:55
if you can't get all the way up to Miles Bridges. Much preferred Bridges.
7:58
But Brandon Miller, I think is is fine. It's a decent matchup
8:01
for him at seven to two. Don't love that price though. On him,
8:03
I think there's good plays in here. And then obviously Fonticillo here coughed
8:07
him up the other night right when he dropped the forty one on the slate
8:11
there, that was a good, good, good, good play there.
8:13
So I think you can go right back to the well on him. He's
8:16
getting quite a bit of minutes for this Detroit team. He's playing good basketball
8:20
right now as well. That should extend his run. So fun Chillo fan
8:24
techyo, however you want to pronounce it, Jalen during Kate Cunningham, and
8:26
then on the other side, Miles Bridges would be my preferred guy from the
8:30
Charlotte Peace and I think Brandon Miller's fine as well. Jump into the next
8:35
game here we're talking Phoenix Cleveland. In this one, Phoenix at Cleveland.
8:41
A lot of injury news here. Donovan Mitchell remains out, is out for
8:46
Cleveland, Mobley's out, Max strusses out, Tristan Thompson remains suspended, Dean
8:50
Wayne is out, and then on the Phoenix side, Eric Gordon's out,
8:54
Monsieur Little out, A Kogi is out, Devin Booker is probable so looking
8:58
to play, and then Darius Garland is back for Cleveland. Here talk this
9:03
one. Donald Caris LeVert looks to be pretty pretty high owned right now.
9:07
He's playing pretty good right now, getting obviously low thirties minutes, mid thirties
9:11
minutes. Where are you going to this one, Phoenix Cleveland. Yeah,
9:16
this should be a good game. And the Cavaliers were doing some look ahead
9:20
last night, I believe as they got trounced by Brooklyn, you know,
9:24
playing playing the Suns not a little bit tougher matchup. I think it's a
9:30
uh, one of the best spots of the night, if not the best
9:35
Darius Garland eight thousand dollars up against this Phoenix Suns team. This Phoenix Suns
9:39
team is the worst team in the NBA guarding the point guard position. Darius
9:43
Garland not only is he a point guard, he's also without his running mate
9:48
Donovan Mitchell, as you alluded to, not a not a better matchup for
9:52
Darius tonight. He's going to have the ball in his hand. His usage
9:54
rate is ben sky high without Donovan. I think Darius Garland in eight thousand
9:58
is one of the best, if not the best play on the slate tonight.
10:01
And then you alluded to Karris Lavert would kind of be my my,
10:05
uh my second favorite calv that we have going. I really like Carris.
10:09
He did start last game. Uh, he's gonna get the shots up,
10:13
but he's a he's a he's a distant second for me behind Darius. I
10:16
think Darius's a phenomenal play at tonight and he'll be on my main team for
10:20
sure. And then on the flip side, k D at nine, Now
10:24
that's just too that's just too high for me, especially against this defensive team
10:28
like that, like Cleveland has, like they have to offer. So it's
10:31
gonna be Darius for me. It's gonna be Georgius Nyang for me, small
10:37
forward, power forward eligibility simply based on his price and what he can do.
10:41
I think he dropped in twenty one real life points if I'm not mistaken
10:45
last night. So I like I like Niang at forty eight hundred to help
10:50
me save some salary. And uh, you know my favorite son. He's
10:56
priced probably too high to get to, but it's gonna be Grayson Allen.
10:58
This playing forty minutes with no Eric Gordon been shooting the lights out. He's
11:03
had a fifty burger and a forty burger in two of his last three games.
11:07
So Grayson would be my favorite, you know son. I mean,
11:09
obviously Kada Booker are the show stoppers there, but give me some Grays and
11:13
Allen at sixty two hundred with nowhere at Gordon in there if Devin Booker missed
11:18
to have tons more interest. But it's Darius Garland is gonna be where it
11:22
starts for me in this one. Yeah. I don't think Darius Garland's great.
11:26
Obviously, he did deal with a little bit of an injury right late
11:30
in that game last game, wrist forearm there, but obviously he's in back
11:35
going to play tonight. Really like the spot as you should should be there,
11:37
should get get Grayson Allen on the defense on the other end, which
11:41
shouldn't be that terrible. I think Craig Porter could get a little that extended
11:45
run here at thirty three hundred. He saw him play twenty five minutes last
11:50
game. Three to three. I don't think Craig Porter is the craziest value
11:52
play on the slate, looking to be about ten or twelve percent owned right
11:56
now at least that's what we're showing with our ownership projections over here. But
12:01
at three three, obviously got Luke on the slate. You got it.
12:03
We're gonna definitely gonna talk about the Jokich Toronto game with basically Toronto's whole team
12:07
sitting here. He got some Drew Holliday missing right in Boston against Portland later
12:11
the on this slate that we'll talk about. But at three to three,
12:15
Craig Porter, I think he's a solid value play here if he gets you
12:20
like last game right last night he played twenty five minutes. It is a
12:24
back to back young kid here. I don't think it's a It's a terrible
12:26
play there, so I don't mind him. But I like Carris la Verda,
12:30
like Garland. Craig Porter is a value play on the Sun side.
12:33
Really not a ton of interest. I don't have a ton of interest overall
12:37
in this game total in general, it is just what a two twenty one
12:41
point total. Phoenix is favored by six here. There's a lot of injury
12:45
news that we'll talk about later. Short handed Boston team, obviously Toronto,
12:50
things like that. So maybe a piece or two from this Craig Porter value.
12:54
I like Darius Garland is guard at eight K with his usage rate with
12:56
the matchup, I think is an excellent play. Prefer Garland to Lavert,
13:01
so I would try to get up to Garland if you can, but I
13:03
think Levert's fine as well. Jump to the next game here seven pm Eastern
13:09
or seven pm Central, eight pm Eastern. There's two games locking at this
13:13
time. First one we're gonna talk about here is Golden State, San Antonio.
13:16
In terms of a total in this one, two twenty seven total,
13:20
four point spread, Golden State favored by four here in this one. In
13:24
terms of injury news, Jaymon Green's probable, Moody's probable, Gary Payton's back.
13:30
Not a ton of big news there, but Stephen Curry is out in
13:33
this game for Golden State. On the San Antonio side, Victor Wemby is
13:39
back here tonight, So really not a ton of intro injury news from the
13:43
Spurs side. Got to talk about it. Probably one of the highestone players
13:48
on the slate, TJD former Indiana hoosier here Jackson Davis at the center position.
13:54
Just four to four here against the Spurs, but he is going to
13:56
be going up against Wembinama down in that paint. Talk about him. Where
14:01
you're going in Golden State ten and Tony, Yeah, you mentioned it,
14:05
Tracy Jackson Davis. Probably one of the highest owned players and rightfully so.
14:11
You know, forty four forty four hundred dollars great price on him. He
14:13
started last game. Uh, you know, gets a top three matchup for
14:18
BIGS in this one, even with Winby down there. Uh, you know,
14:22
we need we need, we need him to put up a you know,
14:24
the thirty berg, which he can do tonight, especially with no stuff.
14:28
So you should see a few more shots out of him. You know,
14:30
he's gonna get rebounds, So do't mind Tracy Jackson Davis for sure at
14:33
forty four hundred dollars. The one thing I don't like about him is he's
14:37
only center eligible, which he was power forward and cente eligible, but uh,
14:41
only center eligible. So certainly like him. And then I don't see
14:43
how you know, Chris Paul's not in the conversation, we're not showing that
14:48
high of ownership on him tonight, you know, looking at you know,
14:50
sub ten percent, I think his usage goes way up. I don't think
14:54
he's gonna get into the you know, thirty eight forty two minutes just at
14:56
this point in his career, but he can do so many different things.
15:00
Is gonna have the ball in his hands a lot. They really don't have
15:01
any true point guards outside of him. The only other one would be maybe
15:05
Podzinski. But I'm going CP three over Brandon tonight, So give me CP
15:11
three sixty nine hundred Tracy Jackson Davis. And then I like Jonathan Kaminga tonight
15:18
as well. Power forward eligibility. Uh, you know, with Stephan out,
15:20
I think someone's gonna have to flip the load, the offensive load,
15:24
and I think Kaminga is one of their better offensive weapons tonight with no uh
15:30
no Steph Curry. So give me those two and then and then winby coming
15:33
back from an injury. Unaids always get scared when you know you got Pop.
15:39
You're dealing with Pop there ten to five. I mean, would Be
15:41
is obviously a freak and can get there. But with him Ben hurt or
15:46
been out anyway, I don't know if there's going to be a minute restriction.
15:48
I just don't trust Pop enough to get there at ten five. But
15:52
that's just me. I won't be playing any of the Spurs. Only interest
15:54
in TJD and Kamina and pol Yeah no, actually breakdown here. I don't
16:00
have a ton of interest overall in this game. Obviously, tj D is
16:04
a great value play. He's going to be very high owned. It is
16:07
a very bad matchup here for him, so you can make the case to
16:11
fade, But I mean, forty four hundred, he's pretty locked into his
16:15
minutes. As long as he doesn't get into follow trouble there, I think
16:18
he's he's solid, but I don't think it's the craziest fade in the world.
16:22
Going up against Wemby right could could run into some follow trouble pretty quick.
16:29
Wemby on the other end, I don't think is the worst play,
16:33
but again, coming back from injury, just don't know what the minutes are
16:36
are going to look like for him. Obviously the minutes have been capped at
16:38
kind of thirty one thirty two all season long. Now coming back from an
16:41
injury with pop, I don't know if I can pay ten to five for
16:45
one Banama here pretty much. Chris Paul, I think is a solid option.
16:49
I agree with your take there, and Chris Paul Kaminga, I think
16:52
is solid at seven. K Podzemski, maybe at sixty four hundred just for
16:57
another ball handler. But man, it's just overall not a great game in
17:02
my opinion, just even with Clay being out or Steph being out here,
17:07
I don't think it's uh it's a game that I want to target too much
17:10
here, Kaminga, Chris Paul, I think I'll find Klay Thompson if you
17:14
ever so choose to click that name at six to five. I know Hamiwich
17:18
that's his favorite player there, So outside of that, not do not do
17:22
it, He says, not a ton of interest outside of that in this
17:25
game, I think a lot of my interest is going to be more in
17:27
these later games, and maybe some of that Charlotte Detroit game to kick us
17:32
off is kind of how I'm looking at it. But let's jump into this
17:33
next game. Here. We got obviously Luca in this game. From a
17:37
total standpoint in the Dallas Chicago game here two thirty three total, so highest
17:42
total on the slate. Just a four point spread from the Dallas side.
17:47
In terms of injury news, really no injury news at all. Basically,
17:51
two fully healthy teams. Got Luca at twelve to four. Here, you
17:53
got he's looking to be pretty high owned. You got Caruso in that mid
17:57
tier at five to three, getting a lot of them in playing pretty good
18:00
basketball right now. I think this is definitely an interesting game from a DFS
18:03
perspective, where you going downas Chicago, Yeah, it's gonna be up and
18:08
down as well. I think we saw the Maps put up one hundred and
18:11
forty the other night against these against the Pistons. Uh, I mean Luca,
18:17
I'm gonna I think I'm gonna fade Luca to night in aids. I
18:18
mean, twelve four going up against a pretty good team, a defensive team.
18:23
Uh, I think that's a that's you know, gonna be my my
18:26
stance on the night when I say fade, you know, funny twenty teams.
18:30
I may have him on you know, two as opposed to like eight
18:33
or whatever. But I think the fade is there tonight comes back down to
18:37
earth and gets around fifty or sixty you know DraftKings points. It's kind of
18:41
is kind of where what I see just based on this matchup, and and
18:44
then on the flip side, I mean, I love a ton of these
18:47
Bulls because I'm not sold on this Dallas defense. Uh So, give me
18:51
some voots at eighty three hundred dollars. Kobe White, combo guard. Dallas
18:56
really struggles against combo guards on the year in our really like Kobe White in
19:00
that position. Demarta Rosen. I'm normally not a Demarta Rosen guy, but
19:04
at eighty two hundred, they struggle against forwards. Give me DeMar de Rosen.
19:08
And then lastly, point guard shooting guard eligible for the Bulls is your
19:15
boy Ao at sixty three hundred dollars. I don't mind him at all.
19:19
I think the Bulls take it to the MAVs tonight. I think Luca comes
19:23
back down to Earth and only scores fifty points. If you will DraftKings in
19:29
the fifties, give me the Bulls to win this game out right, Give
19:33
me those Bulls, the big name Bulls to get there in daily fantasy as
19:37
well. Yeah, no, I'm with you here. If there's a spot
19:41
to fay Luca, it's here. I'm on team Kyrie over Luca here tonight.
19:45
Kyrie's matchup is just much better against Iyo Desumo. Alex crusso very very
19:48
good defender. He's going to play all the minutes. That's why I like
19:51
Alex Cruzer here at five to three. He's going to be out there as
19:53
many many minutes as he can handle to try and contain Luca as much as
19:56
possible here. I mean, and the Bulls are one of the best pick
20:00
and roll defensive teams in the entire NBA as well, which twelve four,
20:04
I mean, he needs to do a lot at that price point. Cruise
20:07
is a very good defender here. I think he comes back down obviously he
20:11
I mean, he hasn't scored under seventy DraftKings points back since February twenty seventh,
20:17
right, he even dates back to that. His last game under seventy
20:19
was back February twenty fifth against Indy. Every other game since then he's been
20:25
over seventy. I think this is a good spot here to jump off him.
20:29
He's going to be heavily owned and in tournaments, I think I'm just
20:32
gonna go elsewhere. To be honest, I like going right over to Kyrie
20:34
Irving because if obviously Kyrie still is going to play all the minutes he can
20:38
handle, if lucas held in check a little bit, that benefits Kyrie Irving
20:41
here. So I like Kyrie. I don't think PJ. Washington is a
20:45
terrible play either from the power forward center position. Pretty solid matchup for him.
20:49
He hasn't been great, but again, solid match up here fifty five
20:55
hundred. I'm going with the take that Luca's gonna be held in check enough,
20:59
He's gonna have to distribute more and that gives other guys on his offense
21:03
boost, like Kyrie evering PJ. Washington. So those two guys I definitely
21:07
have interest in. And then on the bull side, matchup's pretty elite for
21:11
Vucevic here. He's my favorite bowl. At eight three, another center talked
21:15
about a lot of centers on the slate. You can play two of them.
21:18
Obviously one has to go in the utail, but I don't hate him.
21:21
I think DeMar de Rozen's in all right play and then Caruso I like
21:25
quite a bit as well in the mid tier at five to three. But
21:27
overall, I mean two pretty fully healthy teams here. Priced up there.
21:32
You can grab some plays, but despite being a two thirty three total,
21:36
there's just not a ton of injury news. And that's what I focus on
21:38
in NBA right. Short handed rotations, smaller rotations, more minutes, lead
21:42
to more usage, more fantasy points. Basically, both these teams are pretty
21:45
fully healthy. So grab a piece of two, but I wouldn't go overboard
21:49
in this game personally, jump to the next game here an hour after those
21:55
last two games lock it's Toronto and it's Denver. Here. In terms of
21:59
the total two thirty two total, massive mass was spread here, Denver fifteen
22:03
point favorites at home. Terms of injury news here, obviously a lot of
22:07
injury news on the Toronto side, Gary Trentz out Quickly's out, Carleton's out,
22:12
Bouchet is out, Bruce Brown is questionable. On the Denver size,
22:17
really no news DeAndre Jordan is questionable. R J. Barrett is probable.
22:21
So RJ. Barrett looks to be playing here for Toronto ton in a ton
22:25
of ownership. Going to this game, guy named by the name of Grady
22:29
Dick, Freeman Liberty, whoever those two guys are, and then on the
22:33
other side, Jamal Murray Yokich both gonna get a lot of ownership. Jordan
22:36
Nauara at three to five is going to get a lot of ownership. This
22:38
is where everyone's grabbing their value. Talk about how to navigate it, what
22:42
you're going, where you're looking at Toronto, Denver, hey Wich. Yeah,
22:47
I hope your boy Hebert Gina is not still listening to this. He's
22:49
all over Javon Freeman, Liberty, the former DePaul Blue Demon. Great should
22:56
get a lot of run. But I'm with you, never heard of him
22:57
until this season, and not somebody I'm gonna be playing tonight. I mean,
23:02
I see the you know, the thirty five hundred bucks, but I'm
23:04
gonna go with the known quantities for this Raptors team. Grady Dick forty six
23:11
hundred, I think that's I think he's a great play, should be a
23:12
starter tonight. RJ. Barrett, I don't mind it, seventy six hundred,
23:17
Kelly Olynics sixty nine hundred, don't mind him. But my favorite raptor,
23:21
my favorite value raptor is going to be a Boggie former Kansas Jayhawk coming
23:26
in tonight, should see extended minutes, extended run. And he's been playing
23:30
well, you know, been playing twenty plus minutes a game. Now,
23:33
I think he steps into a starter's role, assuming he's starting. He's on
23:37
me, my favorite one at forty five hundred bucks. Bruce Brown, any
23:41
Bruce Brown revenge game narrative needs any anything there, forty eight hundred dollars,
23:47
don't mind him, especially if he's going to see extended run. And then
23:49
it's the usual suspects for the Nuggets. I mean, they're projected to score
23:53
one hundred and twenty two and a half points. I mean, Jokic,
23:56
you said it's gonna be owned. Jamal Murray, who was in just a
24:00
phenomenal spot tonight, Michael Porter Junior, I think is okay. Those would
24:06
kind of be the three, you know, the three big boys for the
24:08
Nuggets that I want because you know they're gonna put up some points that against
24:11
this depleted in Rundown Raptor squad. Yeah, no great breakdown. I think
24:18
obviously it's a great game. I think Freeman Liberty is still fine. I
24:21
have a little bit more interest in him thirty five hundred. He's going to
24:23
start starter at thirty five hundred in a matchup where I think he's blow up
24:29
proof as well. Right, I haven't heard of this guy before the season,
24:32
so he's gonna play all the minutes he can handle. I assume out
24:36
there at thirty five hundred, I think he's still fine. Grady Dick,
24:38
I do like RJ. Barrett, I think is a solid play here.
24:42
Obviously he's the best player in that starting lineup the game gets out of hand,
24:47
which to spread indicates he's probably the first one to come off that court,
24:49
so could see his minutes cut up there. But if this game forever
24:53
stays close, got to assume it's on the back of RJ. Barrett.
24:56
I mean he's starting alongside Grady Dick, Baji, Kelly Olynyk, Bruce Brown.
25:02
I mean he's he's the main guy right out there. So Freeman Liberty
25:06
I think is a solid guy. But again, I mean it's worthy of
25:11
a fade to your point right, But again, he's gonna get the blow
25:15
up, blow out run. I think that's why he's projected to be as
25:18
high owned as he is. Because it is a fifteen point spread here,
25:22
it's hard to assume this Toronto team is going to go into Denver, into
25:26
the altitude and keep this game close with a fully healthy nugget squad. Jamal
25:30
Murray I think is an all right play. Jolkic I think is fine,
25:33
But I think my favorite play on the Denver side is Michael Porter Junior here.
25:37
You know what you're getting with Porter Junior. If he's not hitting his
25:40
shots, it's gonna be tough for him to get value here. But he
25:44
should have no problem here in this matchup. I think he's solid at sixty
25:47
six hundred, he's probably my favorite play. Can play a lot of these
25:51
value plays. I agree with Ibaji here forty five hundred. He's projected to
25:53
start at the three in this game. I think he's solid. But overall,
26:00
well, this is where everyone's going for value, so be cognizant of
26:03
how you play these guys. I think if you run any optimizer right now,
26:07
probably three or four of these these Toronto pieces are hitting teams at least
26:11
two of them in Freeman and Grady Dick up at the top for sure,
26:15
and then you're looking at Studs on the other side from from the Denver team's
26:19
kind of how optimizers are playing it. So maybe you play instead of playing
26:22
a Jamal Murray and Jokic on in this game from the Denver side, maybe
26:26
you go in r J. Barrett right and instead of a Jamal Murray at
26:30
seventy six hundred instead of eighty two hundred for Jamal Murray. Just a little
26:36
bit different way to construct teams because a lot of teams are going Freeman,
26:40
Liberty, Grady Dick, Jackson Davis as your value plays and then spending up
26:44
elsewhere, up to Jokic, up to Luca, up to another a K
26:49
plus guard there. So interesting game for sure. Obviously, Toronto pieces very
26:55
shorthanded here. My favorite plays r J. Barrett I think is a good
26:59
play. Grady Dick I love a lot, and then Agbaji would be my
27:03
third favorite here, and then Freeman Liberty obviously is a value player I think
27:07
is solid as well. Hey, one more, one more thing I want
27:10
to add real quick needs is is John T. Porter is slated to be
27:15
the backup center tonight. We currently don't have a projecting on him, but
27:18
John tay Porter, the brother of your favorite nugget Michael Porter Junior, should
27:25
see the backup center minutes tonight with no no pertal win there three k to
27:30
your point, you know, get off, get off Freeman of Liberty,
27:33
get off Dick and go John tay Porter. Uh, might not be,
27:36
might not be a bad route to go, but uh, I like him
27:38
and looking at the slate plan, Uh, Hebrew does too, so I
27:41
may route to John tay Porter at the stone Men price. Yeah, you
27:45
can never argue a guy against stone minimum. I mean, obviously you don't
27:48
want him to get a zero, but even if he gets you a zero,
27:51
it's a it's what it does for your other roster. And I don't
27:53
think he's gonna get zero. I think he gets run either way for sure,
27:56
especially in the backup. Obviously, anybody going up against Jo can get
28:00
into felly follow trouble, especially a guy like Kelly olynnok right, who should
28:03
get bullied down there in the paint in altitude. So definitely I like that
28:07
call a lot there showing in the last game of the night We do have
28:11
injury news in this one here, pretty big total in this one as well,
28:18
are not pretty big excuse me, the lowest total on the slate two
28:21
seventeen matches at Charlotte Detroit game. But we got injury news right. True,
28:26
Holiday is out in this one, Derek White is in, Jalen Brown's
28:30
in, Jason Tatum's in projected starters Derek White, Brown, Tatum, Howser
28:34
Horford on the other side, not a ton of injury news. Jeremy Grant
28:38
is questionable, expected to play here. Where you're going a lot of ownership
28:42
obviously going to Jason Tatum when you take Drew Holiday off the court. There,
28:47
Peyton Pritchard right, getting the getting the center or the backup guard.
28:51
Minutes at thirty eight hundred, but lowest total on the board late night game.
28:56
Despite the injury news. It is a match up against Portland. Where
29:00
are you going here? Yeah? This should be an interesting game. Yeah,
29:04
I don't. I don't think you mentioned Porzingis is out in Holidays.
29:07
So two of the you know, two of the big five are out for
29:11
for uh, you know, for the Celtics. So to me, that
29:15
leaves you know, three players or three of their Big five in I'm always
29:19
a Derek White homer. Give me some Dereck White sixty six hundred should have
29:23
the ball in his hands a lot more with no Drew. I know Peyton
29:26
Pritchard's popping over here at our stuff that I'm looking at. At thirty eight
29:30
hundred bucks, I don't think it's the worst play. I won't get there,
29:34
uh, personally on my main team, just because I like other players.
29:37
But give me some Derek White point guard shooting guard eligible, like the
29:41
dual eligible eligibility for him. And then my two favorite, uh, my
29:47
two favorite Trailblazers, which I don't mind is former Boston Celtic great Delano Blanton
29:52
forty two thirty eight minutes his last two games. He's been playing lights out
29:57
and for only fifty one hundred. I think he's squarely and played tonight.
30:00
I'm surprised he's not projected higher than he is, So give me him.
30:03
And then DeAndre Ayton would be my second favorite one, my second favorite player
30:08
for them for the Blazers played forty minutes in his return to action and just
30:12
absolutely went off, scoring thirty points, nineteen rebound sixty one DraftKings points.
30:19
So really like those two and I think you could play anto these Celtics,
30:23
right, It's not who you play, it's how you play him. But
30:26
it's Derek White to lead the pack for me. And then just you know,
30:29
we may get late news on Tatum or Brown sitting. I know they
30:30
both said that they're playing, but if one of them sits, or if
30:33
anyone else sits, right, that's just gonna bump them up. But for
30:36
right now, it's Derek White and those two Blazers for me. Yeah,
30:41
I'm with you. I think I think Tatum is a good play here too
30:44
at ninety five hundred here going up against Portland, got obviously a good great
30:48
match up here. Jalen Brown's got a great matchup too. I'm with you.
30:52
Derek White, I think is probably my favorite at sixty six hundred.
30:56
I like him a lot. And then the Portland side. Not a ton
31:02
of interest from the Portland sides. But I do like Delano Banton with you,
31:04
only if he starts. He's not slated to start right now. At
31:07
least projected Basketball Monster has Anthony Simon and then Chris Murray and Kamara slated to
31:12
start alongside Grant and Ayton. If he does start at five to one,
31:18
I like him a lot. But outside of that, I mean, maybe
31:21
a piece or two from this game, really going to be focused on that
31:23
Toronto Denver game obviously, I like that Dallas Chicago game a little bit,
31:27
and then some of the some pieces from obviously the Cleveland Phoenix game right with
31:33
with Donovan Mitchell being out there in Cleveland, So that's kind of where I'm
31:37
looking. Any final thoughts for the people before we get out onto here,
31:45
Yeah, I don't think so. I think we covered it pretty well.
31:48
You know, if you missed it earlier. I really loved Darius Garland Knight
31:51
at eight thousand dollars. I think he's in a smash spot against the worst
31:53
team, Garden, the point guard, and he has no no Donovan Mitchell
31:57
tonight. I think he's on the winner tonight, and as I'll be playing
32:00
a ton of Darius Goland eight thousand dollars tonight. Yeah, you're flight planting
32:07
on Darius Garland gonna be contrarian. I think all the ownership goes to not
32:10
contrarian. He's gonna get ownership, but I think the ownership more goes towards
32:15
Kris Lavert being cheaper at sixty seven hundred do you obviously get the dual position
32:19
eligibility with Karris Lavert there at shooting guard and small forward. But overall,
32:23
I think it's an interesting game. Not the highest totals on the slate,
32:27
just two thirty three is the highest total there in a game where both squads
32:30
are basically fully healthy in Dallas and Chicago, So she'll be an interesting one
32:34
here for tournaments. I think we broke it down well our sleep slate plans
32:37
up by our guy Hebrew and Rio over there at Shiping Nation. Again,
