  Speaker 3: how's your week been? Happy Friday to you.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Happy Friday, Happy NBA Cup Day. This is my
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: favorite time of the year. I always liked the NBA Cup.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I know it's kind of controversial to some people. I
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: think it's Emirates. Emirates that is sponsoring it now. I
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: like the NBA Cup. I like that they've done this
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: kind of adds a new element to the regular season,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: which kind of has been a little boring at times
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: during the year. But yeah, doing pretty good. Had a
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: close call a few nights ago. Hoping hopefully you can
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: bounce back here and have a good week heading into
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the NFL Sunday slate.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, should be a good slate.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, these games, you know, it's still just one of
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: eighty two, but I feel like they are, you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: a little bit harder and got the different core.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It's a Friday nights. You got a lot of things. Bro.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to some people in the chat.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Got my guy, mister Wisconsin, Jordan Nwance, Para bay Wardo,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Anthony Massei, what's going on?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Anthony? Longtime? No see?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Desmond's in here, Nate d as always kid lightning. Colin
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: James says, it's gonna be a Lonzo ball Knight. It
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: must be Halloween. And Jordan's back in here again as well.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: We certainly appreciate you tuning in. Hit that like hit
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: that subscribe button for us. It certainly helps us out
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: of time. Over here at the Nation. We're gonna get
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: right into it. It's an injury, I would say, injury
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: riddle Field slate tonight.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Rio. We'll go through it as we get there.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: In the first game up on the slate, you can
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: see from the stone over here at the Nation and
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: got the Hawks taken on the beat up Pacers. The
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: big news here obviously, No Trey Young looks like Nikhil
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Alexander Walker, Lebron James Jordan is gonna be starting tonight
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: and the Pacers been shorthanded all season. Pascal Siakam obviously
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: a good play. But talk to me a little bit
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: about this game Hawks at the Pacers.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, gotta see what they're gonna do with the starting unit.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I would imagine it's Nickle Alexander Walker stepping in there
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: for Trey Young because I'm playing really well off the bench,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: but it would not be surprised if it's either him,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Kenard or Keaton Wallace. They kind of they're gonna split
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the ball handling between those three guys. But yeah, definitely
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a pretty good thing to kick a good game, to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: kick things off right away. With Trey Young being out,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: that vacates a good amount of usage and a ton
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: of touches for some of these other guys, and they
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: have a good group of guys that can fill that
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: role with like Dyson Daniels, n aw Jalen Johnson and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the porzingis even a little bit. He saw his potential
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: assist tick up in a pretty big way last time out,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and then with the Pacers got a couple of Q
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: tags that don't really mean too much. Like Johnny Furfey,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I think is the big one because that is a
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: guy that they probably had planned to have in their
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: rotation early in the season and he's been out for
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: mostly mostly games this year. But if he misses then
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: it's going to be the same thing that we saw
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: last time out with the Shepherd new Smith, siakham Walker,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Jackson starting unit and then Ray j Dennis, Tony
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Bradley Puff and then you get Quinn Jackson and Mac
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: mccumb kind of filling in the point guard minutes as well.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: We have both these teams not really playing great defense
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: right now, which has kind of been expected. I thought
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that the Hawks riom defense would get a little bit
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: better to start the year with chrisolps porzingis there, but
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: it really hasn't. Maybe that has something to do with
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: him only playing around twenty five minutes a game, but
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: just the rim defense has not been that great and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: their pace hasn't really been that good either. They definitely
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: played a lot slower without Trey last game. But the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Pacers they're you know, they're able to keep things competitive.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: They are one of the worst offensive teams in the league.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Though bottom three in offensive rating, it doesn't really matter
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: too much just because they have so much usage to
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: go around with all these injuries. But I'll started in
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the Hawks side. I really like Jalen Johnson here, definitely
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a guy I'm gonna want to get overweight on. I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: kind of thought that we were looking great and that
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: that game when Trey got injured, because Jalen Johnson is
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: always a guy that you want to fire up whenever
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Trey gets injured. He didn't really do much, kind of
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you know, lost some minutes due to falla trouble, have
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: been dealing with that ankle injury. That's kind of held
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: him back from like a minute ceiling standpoint. But last
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: year he did play two games without Trey, put up
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: sixty DK points with a triple double against Boston and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: then forty three point three in the other game, So
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: pretty pretty solid DK average there. But he is second
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: on the team in usage, third in assist last game
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and then the second touch time, He's gonna have a
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: much bigger role. They're gonna be running a lot of
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the offense through him, especially if the Alexander excuse me,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: if Nikkei Alexander Walker is starting then you really don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: have like a true point guard there, because those guys
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Naw and Dyson Daniels are more shooting guards. I would
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: imagine Jim Johnson picks up a pretty big offensive role
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: with no Trey. But I do have a pretty a
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: lot of interest in Anaw and Dyson Daniels as well.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Dyson is probably gonna be in the best spot here
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: just from like a matchup standpoint of his Baser team
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: not really having any true point guard in their roster.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I could see them, you know, putting up a lot
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: of turnovers, which make him really interesting. They also don't
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: really have great rim defense. He did lead the team
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: in drives and potential assists last game without Trey, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: he's also the most likely in the starting unit to
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: play up for thirty minutes. I like him a good bit,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: probably a little bit more than Jalen Johnson. And then Naw.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Something that kind of was interesting. I'd listened to some
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: you know, just some stuff around the industry, some beat
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: writer podcasts, and a good like A good note about
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Aw was when he came over to Minnesota, wasn't really
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: asked to have the same role that he did when
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he was in Utah was playing a lot of off
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: ball and just kind of a three and D guy.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: But when when he was with Utah, I mean, he
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: was a pretty high usage guy, and he's kind of
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: picked that back up here with Atlanta and definitely makes
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of sense. He was kind of running the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: second unit, been playing really strong minutes thirty minutes off
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the events in basically every game this season, so I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: think that he could kind of have sneaky big upside
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: in a sneaky big usage role here. So I like
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: him a good bit. I probably don't want to play
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: more than two of naw Dyson and Jalen Johnson because
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I think they're all kind of competing for the same stats.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I think that's probably it. On the Atlanta side, you
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: can make the case for Christops and Nokongo both are
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: playing pretty well, but neither really ever bring from a
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: minute standpoint. And then the Pacers side, I think Siakam
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: has probably probably got the best role from a non
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: point guard, first on the team and usage or over
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the last two games with the injury riddled games for
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the Pacers, second in assist and first in touch time
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: just under five minutes a touch time per game. I
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: think he's in a pretty good spot here with how
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: bad the room defense has been for Atlanta, so I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: like him a good bit. And then Jarres Walker, I
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: think is one of, if not the best value plays
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: in the slate. Played thirty six minutes last game, shouting
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the ball horribly, but he did have a really strong role.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Added six rebounds, five assists, only shot five to nineteen
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: from the field, but still put up forty five DK points,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: but yet really strong ballhanding roll three minutes of touch
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: time twenty one percent. You straight pretty favorable matchup here
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: as well against Jalen Johnson, who's an average to below
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: average defender. And then you could go back to ray
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: J Dennis if you want to. I think that there's
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: probably a better value places than the slate.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Though, yeah, I was I was going to ask you
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: that you answered my question about ray J went from
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: what thirty eight to fifty two hundred, So yeah, I
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: got it there.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Overweight on Jalen.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I wrote that down, so appreciate that nugget. Canard. Did
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: you mention Luke at all? See two questions about Luke
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: being cheapy? If you talked about him, you didn't talk
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: long about him. So no love for Canar tonight.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: No, not really. They're definitely gonna use some more on
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: ball a little bit, but I don't think that there
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: is enough upside there. I kind of like some values
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: in the other games, so I don't really think I'm
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: gonna go there.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Excellent breakdown there, and we got my guy, Tim D.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: And the Chad said he watched the show the other day.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: He didn't watch my show because this is my first
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: one of the week. That was my guy Hebrews Sheeta
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: and probably Bellman or title that you got you. Hey,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I'm biased, but there's no better guy in the industry
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Timmy D, than my boy right here, Hebrew Cheetah.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So yeah, appreciate you tuning back in today. Hit that like,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: hit that subscribe button.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Force.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: We're going on to the next game, and it is
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the Celtics. Would know Jason Tatum at still on the shelf,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: but he looks good bouncing around there taking on your
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: undefeated Philadelphia seventy six ers. Would it be the year
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: the rookie has been just dynamite Tyrese Maxi has been dynamite,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: but still no still no tatumiz I alluded to earlier.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: No other injuries that I'm aware of rio for Boston,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: but PG thirteen still on the shelf, thank goodness. Jared McCain,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: he's still sitting out as well. But talk to me
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit about this game. He got any love
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: or any interest in Boston at Philadelphia in a rematch
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I believe of an opening nighter game two in Boston.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely interested in this game. Something that I've been
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: kind of making a mental note of after watching these
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Philly games. I mean, they're they're getting up some huge
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: lines to opposing centers, and I think a good reason
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: why is drawl Embiid is obviously not the same player
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: that he was a few years ago. And I kind
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: of been like saying this past few years, like he
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: just doesn't give a lot of effort on defense every
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: times where he just does not chase down rebounds and
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: he's kind of doing that saving a lot of his
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: energy for offense. So he's been giving up some really
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: big stats lines to opposing the big men. I don't
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: know if there's enough upside from a minute standpoint for
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Nimia's Kida. He's been playing pretty well and producing pretty
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: solidly from a point per am minute standpoint. But I
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: just think that moving forward, once we get some of
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: these better spots for like a like maybe like a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Walker Kessler or like a don Hi Kling and Vucevich
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: something like that against himbid would definitely something to keep
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: an eye on. But yeah, the Sixers playing pretty poorly
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: defensive defensively right now, which is kind of crazy still
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: being undefeated. Uh, definitely a.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Lot of that.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Dude to Tari's Maxie playing so well, leading the league
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: in points per game of guys not named Luca's only
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: played two games this season. He's just crushing it. I
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: think you could definitely play him in any matchup in
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: any spot. I was told a few days ago that
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Maxi is not in play. As long as m beats
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: back still putting up a ton of points, I'm totally
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: fine going back to him. The Celtics are giving up
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: a ton of threes right now as they're trying to
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: take away a lot of the easy rim scoring, So
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I think this is a pretty good spot for Harvey's
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Maxi here like him the most and probably the only
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: guy I'm really considering on Philly. It's getting a little
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: too expensive for VJ, especially with EMBIID getting a little
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: bit better. I think he's definitely be a guy that
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: is negatively impacted there, and then you know, if you're
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: playing like fifty and the eight dollars tonight, don't think
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: it's too crazy to leave Quentin Grimes and Kelly Ubra
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: in your playerpool. But probably not enough upside for either
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: of them. The Celtics I definitely a little bit more intriguing.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I think Jaylen Brown eight win six K is a
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: pretty good price sac for him. It's a tough ish
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: matchup versus Kelly Ubray, but the role has been really good.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: He's leading the team in usage at thirty one percent,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: and I would say that the way that the Sixers
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: have been given up a ton of points in transition
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: is a plus for him from a matchup perspective. It's
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: just Celtics are not really playing very fast right now,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: so I don't know if there's enough upside for him.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Between White and Pritchard, I think that those guys are
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: slightly prefer them to Jaylen Brown. I don't know which
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: one I prefer between the two of them. Because Derek
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: White has been the main pick and roll guy for
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Boston and that's kind of where you want to attack
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: this Sixers defense. They're along the second most pick and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: roll points per game, so if he's gonna be the
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: guy that gets most of the pick and roll volume,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I would definitely prefer Derek White, but he's not really
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: doing enough of the other stuff and kind of shooting
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the ball pretty poorly. I like what I've been seeing
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: from Pritchard lately. He's been I think, trending up. Just
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: he's really not shoting the ball that great either, but
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: he's gonna see a much easier matchup. He did play
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: thirty seven minutes in the opener as they're trying to
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: match him up with the Tiger's Maxie a little bit,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: so I think I slighted lean Pritchard, but not a
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: strong stand between Brown, White or Prichard, and then Josh
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: might not a lot of people talking about him and Chad.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: He's been playing really good in his first two starts
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: of the season thirty two point two five DK points,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: forty two and a half DK points played thirty three minutes,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: probably gonna start again, so I think he's a very
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: strong value play. But I don't think that this game
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: is super appealing to get deep into. I think might
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: not in Max here the two top players in this game.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Excellent right down there, might not Max he favor too
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: on this slight. We're gonna go right into to the
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: next one.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Right off that rio. We got the Raptors at the Calves.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell I believe he popped up on the questionable
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: with a questionable tag this morning.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Darius and Strus are still out.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Sam Merrill, who left the game earlier of the night,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: he's also out. Jared Allen also questionable. He had a
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: good game his last time out as well. And then
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: on the other side, not that many injuries to talk about.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Yakum is gonna sit this one out. So no Yaka tonight.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Note no total pertle, however you say his name.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: He's out.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: But talk to me about this game Toronto at Cleveland.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Are you gonna let him know?
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I just literally just followed and put on Donovan
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Mitchell's notifications because he's definitely got to keep an eye
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: on that. He did post it last game, and he
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: was I think he actually said something in like an
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: interview he said I tweeted it before the game, So
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: if he you know, if he tweets the hash, I
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: let him know in the next probably thirty minutes to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: an hour, he'll be in. But Jared Allen is definitely
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: one we have to keep an eye on because that
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: could open up some good value in the game that
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: already has pretty good value in Murray Boyles, who got
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: the start last game. But yeah, I'm really interested in
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the Cleveland side here Offensively, this Raptors team, it seemed
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: like they'd be a little bit better coming into the league. Defensively,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't really believe it because I just don't think
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Yaka Purtle is a good defender, and I also think
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that everybody else other than Scottie Barnes in the starting
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: lineup and really on the team is not that great defensively.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: But they've been really given up a ton right now.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: They're the second worst team in the league only behind
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: the Nets, giving up a ton of rim points, the
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: fourth most pick and roll points per game, and the
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: fourth most transition points per game. So a really really
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: big spot for this Cleveland offense here to bounce back
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: after the letdown game against Boston. Bringing down the Toronto side, though,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: don't love the matchup for anyone here. In particular, I
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: think that Scotty Barnes is kind of always in play
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: just because he's their best option offensively, and he did
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: have some pretty big games in some tougher matchups against
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the Rockets and mitchellrou starting tonight against the Rockets and
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: against Dallas. But I really don't have a lot of
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: interest in picking on Evan Mobley, so probably not gonna
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: get to too much of Scottie Barnes. I think if
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: there was one guy of the non value plays in
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: this game that I like, it would be Emmanuel Quickly,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: but he's pretty expensive, does lead the league or lead
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the team in touch time. But the thing that I
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: really like about his matchup is that the guard defense
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: for the Cavs is probably their main area of weakness,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and they've also been a pretty big three point final
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: this season, allowing the fourth most threes per game. He's
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: taken around four to seven in each game this season,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: so you know, kind of a plus for him matchup wise.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: He should get down of the Mitchell on defense, which
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: is a really good spot to attack, So I like
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: him the best of the non value plays, and then
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Colin Murray Boyle is gonna likely get to start again.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Ran into some foul trouble, but probably was trending for
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: close to thirty minutes here, which is always going to
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: put somebody in play when they're sub four K. So
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I think he's probably one of the best value plays
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: in the slate. Him and Jarris Walker kind of one
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: A one B there, and then you could play the
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: leverage game with Sandro getting the backup center minutes. He's
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: always been a good point per minute guy, but I
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: don't think I'm gonna go to too much of that.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the Cleveland side I think is really good here.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Assuming that Don Mitchell is good to go. It's a
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: pretty big spot for him against a team that's allowing
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: a ton of rim points and being a huge on
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: ball funnel defensively with the bottom four ranked pick and
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: roll defense, that's an area that Donal Mitchell thrives in.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: The one area concerned for him is that I could
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: see the minutes getting cut down a little bit, just
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: because you know, dealing with the hamstring injury is not
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: something that you want to really push the limits, and
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: he's been playing more minutes than usual early on this season.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely gonna get cut down once the scene gets healthy.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: But I think thirty two to thirty four is probably
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: enough for him to put up a pretty big game.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: He was kind of on his way to a huge
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: game against Boston, then really pulled off in the second half. Yeah,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I loved the matchup for him. Mobly gonna see Scotty
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Barnes Defensively, He's pretty good on defense, but I don't
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: really think that's too much to worry about.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: The racks.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Reptor has just been getting killed on the on the
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: in tier. Just give him a ton of rim points
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: and he'd really benefit in a big way. If Jared
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Allen WARDI miss, going to see his rebounding rates shoot up.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I see, you know, DeAndre Hunter projecting pretty decently in
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: for a good amount of ownership, would probably prefer if
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Mitchell were to miss. I'd definitely play a lot DeAndre Hunter.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: They are really making it a point of emphasis to
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: get him going on an offense. He saw his usage
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: rate really climb last game. I don't know, I'm okay
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: with him. He should see some pretty weak defenders. I
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: think he's going to get brandon Ingram on defense, which
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: is a good spot to attack. I don't know. I
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: think he's just fine, but some value would definitely open
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: up if Jared Allen were to miss this game. I
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: think he's the only thing a broken finger, so it's
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: a good chance that he could miss. I think it's
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: something that he can play through. But if they give
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: him the night off tonight, Larry Nets Junior would probably
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: be the one that gets to start, and he'd be
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: a like smash value for sure at three point two k.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: So that's what I'd be, you know, I'd be waiting
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: on this game a little bit for sure, not getting
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: too deep into the first two.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: About who benefits the most from sam Merrillby and I
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: don't know we missed the other night he gets Boston,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: But who would benefit Like Jalen Tyson had a good
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: game the other night. I heard some Lonzo in the
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: chat earlier, but he hadn't gotten above twenty four minutes.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Is there anybody that's gonna benefit with him being out
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: another game?
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: It would probably be just Jalen Tyson is going to
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: continue to start. I would imagine they're definitely missing his
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: off ball scoring for sure. That Kenny Atkinson is has
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: talked about that in some of the games, really missing
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: a guy like Samuel So I think that it's going
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: to continue to be Tyson. But yeah, Lonzo Ball, he's
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: capped from a minute perspective, He's not going to play
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: more than twenty five in a game for the foreseeable future.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: And he's not shooting the ball that well. So I
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: don't I don't really think I'm too interested in him.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Would probably need Donovan Mitchell be out and Lonzo to
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: be starting to get to him. Yeah, that's kind of
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: what I'm seeing.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, excellent break down there. We're gonna go on to
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: the next game. It is the Knicks. We just got
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: the the Mitch rob news. I believe this is his
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: first game of the season. My guess is he's odds
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: in for who Miles Broad in the starting lineup. But
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: you can touch on that. But you got the Knicks,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: you got the Bulls. But believe the Bulls are still undefeated.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Correct me if I'm wrong, Rio, but they were undefeated.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Kobe White is still out for the Bulls.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for the Bulls.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: And then you got a couple of Q tags uh
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: in in Towns and Mitchell Robinson.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: But we just got the news that he started.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: We got a should be a good one Friday night
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: first game of the NBA Cup Knicks at Chicago.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is an interesting game from a matchup perspective,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: just with the way that these teams are playing defense.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I think it kind of is uh. I don't know,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Like the Bulls are a team that you can you
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: could have attacked pretty much anywhere last season. I don't
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: really think that they're going to be this good defensively
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: moving forward. But they're giving up the most rim points
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: per game and the least threes per game, so a
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: huge rim full and definitely taking away the three there.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: And then the Knicks offensively have become a huge our
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: team that's just firing a bunch of threes and not
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: really get into the basket much. So I think that
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: they're going to have to look to exploit that weak
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: room defense for sure in this one, and they should
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: be able to. Mike Brown's a good coach, should be
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: able to make adjustments. And for the Knicks, they've been
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: playing pretty poorly on with their three point defense or Yeah,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: they begin with a ton of three pointers, which is
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: also like a Mike Brown defensive matchup thing. They like
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: to double team a lot on lead handlers, so the
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: off ball guys for Chicago should be in a pretty
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: decent spot here. I don't know how to feel about
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Kat now. I think that he was probably one of
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: my favorite plays on the entire slate before the Mitchell
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Robinson news. I don't know if it's really gonna take
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: me off him as much. If anything, that might make
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: his matchup a little bit worse. I don't know, I
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: really know what to do, because I love the matchup
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: for Cat if it was going to be him going
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: up against Boch as a guy I love to attack,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: especially with a guy like Cat who's just traditionally killed
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: centers of Booch's archetype, like a traditional center. And it
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: kind of like the numbers back that he averaged forty
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: points per game fifteen rebounds per game against the Bulls
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: last season in three games just on just under seventy
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: DK points per game. Hasn't really had a big game
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: yet the season, but I'll kind of chalk it up
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: to him having some really tough matchups. He faced Cleveland, Boston, Miami,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: and then Milwaukee, so I think that this is a
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: blow up spot for Kat for sure. I got to
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: take some time after we talked about this game to
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: look at the on off numbers with Kat and Mitch Robinson,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: because I would imagine that it's definitely gonna hurt his
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: rebounding rates, but offensively he should be fine. Bronston's been
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: getting going in the last two games. Forty nine d
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: K points sixty DK points should be pretty good spot
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: for him. The way that the Bulls were a pretty
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: big pick and roll final last season, but this year
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: it looks like they have improved a little bit in
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: both pickroll and ISO defense. Definitely prefer Kat's upside, but
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I think that Bronson is a pretty solid mid tier
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: option at the point guard position. I don't think That'm
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: gone get to too much else in this game. You
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: could make the case for Og playing really well right now,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: but that's probably it. Chicago's I don't really like too
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: much on that side. They're running a pretty deep rotation
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: and also they're using giddy more off ball, which is
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, it hasn't heard of him as much. He
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: did almost get a triple double last game, but I
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: don't know. I just think that he might be a
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: little captoring on not playing a ton of minutes and
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: not having the ball in his hands out as much.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: So I don't love the bull side tonight.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you taught me to some og last week. I
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: still I think I still like him tonight. Real quick,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: going back, I missed a question. It's playing Mobiley and
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Larry Nance Junior together, Okay, if Allan were to miss, yeah,
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: definitely Yeah. With Nance being thirty two hundred bucks, I think, yeah,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I'm with Rio. There a great play there if.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: He has Jason Turner, what's going on?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Man? Appreciate you tuning in. Thank you, We appreciate it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: As always, we're halfway home. Ladies and gentlemen, just do
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: us a quick favor. Hit that like, hit that subscribe button.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: It helps us out of the ton over here. We
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: got eight games, we're breaking them all down. Opening night
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: of the emer It's NBA Cup that we're talking through.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I got my guy Hebrew Cheeah here with me. Next
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: up on the slate, it's the return of Luca. Luca
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: missed the last two games. Austin reevees acting like freaking
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Lebron James out there just bawling fifty pointers the other
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: night taking on my Memphis Grizzlies and John Morant. Still
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: without Zach Edie, still without Scottie Pippen, Jr. Still without
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: the what's his face from the Cavaliers. I'm drawing a
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: blank on his name, but he's not playing either, Tie
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Ti Jerome, Sorry about that, Ti Jerome. Mount Lebron still out.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: No other injuries for the Lakers that I'm aware of
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: outside of Gabe, Vincent and Lebron missing Marcus Smart. Revenge game, Rio,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: you got a little revenge game India with Marcus Smart
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: coming coming back home his second home to Memphis. But
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: talk to me about this game Lakers at the Grizzlies.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a lot of the fantasy appeal kind
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: of got taken away when you added Luca back into
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: the mixt. For sure, for the Lakers side, I think
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: that it's pretty straightforward just Luca right now. I don't
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: think you can comfortably play Austin Reeves at ten K.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, he had probably the best role in the
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: NBA with Luca and Lebron off at court. I think
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: he had like over ten minutes of touchdown per game,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: just insane usage rates. Was doing everything. But now you know,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: adding Luca back into the mix, he's going to fall
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: back into the role that he had before. But with
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: that being said, I'd love the spot for Luca for sure.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: At eleven point five K, that's a good price SiGe
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: for him. He was leading the league in points per
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: game and pick and roll scoring per game before the injury,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: put up seventy eight and seventy seven DK points in
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: his first two games a season. Don't think that he's
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: going to be limited at all tonight. He had really
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: good condition coming into the opening night. Looks a lot
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: skinnier as well, so I think that he's going to
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: be a very very strong spin up tonight against this
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Grizzyes team that's struggling defensively. The Memphis side kind of
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: easy to break down as well. I don't think that
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I have much interest here. I would love the spot
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: for job. He was playing like thirty six minutes, but
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: it just they they EASi into the regular season. It
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: takes him about a month to ramp up, so he's
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: gonna be in like the low twenties for the foreseeable future.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: But if I knew that he was playing thirty six,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I would definitely want to play him because he's always
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: been a strong, permanent guy, and it's a really good matchup.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: The way that the Lakers have been given up a
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: ton of volumes to point guards. I guess sex your
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: coward is projecting. Okay, he's had a couple of big games.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: They're not really separating a ton from a minute's perspective.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: So I don't think that I'm gonna go there. Yeah,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: it's probably just Luca in this game.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, looking at that Lakers roster, that's a pretty terrible roster.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Or is it just me?
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: I think the rest of those guys, I mean, obviously
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Lucas the man, but outside of that, would know Lebron
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: looks like a pretty terrible lineup to me or a
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: roster if I'm looking at it over there. Yeah, just
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: trying to see anybody on the Grizzlies. Yeah, I'm out
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: on the Grizzlies as well. We heard something in the
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: chat a little minute ago and asking if he was
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: the only one on the Suns in Jazz game, and
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: asking Rio if he was gonna be I think a
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: lot of people are gonna be on the game. The Jazz,
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: they are allergic to defense, gave up seventy nine first
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: half points to the Trailblazers the other night. Sons, I
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: think this is a rematch of the last game at
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: these two played at least in the last two. But
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: you got Devin Booker, got Grayson Allen. I know you
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: like a lot of these guys. Tonight, the Jazz, Laurie
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Malcolnin been ballin, Walker Kessler been playing out of his
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: mind as well. But talk to me a little bit
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: about this game. We got a two hundred and thirty
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: eight point total, but the Jazz and the Desert taking
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: on the Suns.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, these two teams played two nights ago, are two
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: games ago when it's overtime. One of the most exciting
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: watches of the of an NBA game so far this season.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: And from a DFS perspective, you needed like six guys
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: in that game. I was looking at the optimal lineup
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: it had. I think Booker, Royce, Gillespie, Laurie, Keyonte, and
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Kessler that we're all optimal. So all those guys look
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: really good again here for different reasons, but I'm gonna
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: continue to have a ton of interest in Utah and
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: then teams playing against Utah. They had a pretty strong
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: start to the season but have kind of fallen back
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: to their normal ways. Defensively, They're going to be a
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: team that gives up a ton of three pointers, the
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: most catch and shoot points per game, and then their
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: transition defense is training down as well. Those are the
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: same areas that they were poor on last year. They're
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: always gonna have a really good pick and roll defense
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: and rim defense with Walker Kessler playing very very good
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: defense there. But all in all, it's gonna be a
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: team that you want to attack, especially with guards and
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: especially with guys that are catch and shoot guys. And
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: then the Suns kind of the same thing. Their transitions
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: defense hasn't been great, given up some pretty big games
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: to lead scorers as well, just an all round not
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: that great defensive team. Don't really have any lockdown defense,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: especially with Dylan Brooks sideline. They're gonna be pretty bad
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: moving forward. But yeah, the Jazz side, it's the top
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: three guys for me for sure, and then kind of
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: move on. I guess you could make the case for
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: their Kitch at four K because he's a really good
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: permanent guy and it's a good matchup, But I think
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: that like Keyont the best of actually Keyance and Walker,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: they're all really good. I can't really make a case
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: against anyone more than the other. Laurie has been playing
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: lights out right now. Put up fifty points, a career
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: high against the Sun's last time out. They only have
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: a good defender that I think could slow him down,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: so I think that he's in a pretty good spot.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Kyante has been improving a ton this year, pretty much
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: getting better everywhere that he was poor last year. He's
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: had a really good role seven point nine minutes a touchdown,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: which would be tied for the league lead with Austin
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Reeves assuming that you take away Luca from that category.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Been driving the ball a lot as well, taking a
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: little bit less threes to kind of bump up the
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: true shooting percentage. So I love going right back to Kyante.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Definitely a team that I was looking to attack with
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: point guards a lot last year, and it's been pretty
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: sticky this season as well. Their bottom seven in defense
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: or in Fantasy points allow of point guards, so he
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: looks really strong. Walker Kessler I think is probably a
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: little underpriced. He's doing a lot more this year than
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: he was last year. Kind of just a rebound and
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: put back guy last year, but now he's getting more
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: involved as a passer and has also taken more threes.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: He's third on the team in potential assists this season.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I think he made like three or four threes. Last game.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: He went three for four from three last game, went
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: one for two against the Suns two games prior, so
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I think that he's very, very strong tonight. He's also
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: going to be gifted a much better matchup with Mark Williams,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: now the starting center for the Suns. And you know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: kind of dating back to his time with the Horns,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: he was a guy that you would pretty much want
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: to attack any time that he was on the slate.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think that he's that great of a defender,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: so I have a lot of interest in Walkerkester tonight.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Outside of that, I think it's going to get a
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: little too thin. I would keep an eye on Ace
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Bailey moving forward. I think they're going to eventually start
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: to get him more involved. But Spee has been playing
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: pretty good in the starting unit at Ace was dealing
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: with an illness coming into the season. I don't think
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: that they really wanted to push him. He looked like
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: he was struggling from a cardial standpoint. I think he's
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: getting a little bit healthier though. On the Sun side,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I love Devin Booker Tonight potential corporate again accord him
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: the last time out. He just kills this Jazz team.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: He's averaging over sixty DK eight. Sorry, I think it's
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: fifty eight draftings points against the Jazz over the last
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: two seasons. And it's the same roster essentially, the way
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: that the Jazz give it up, a ton of threes
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: and a lot of assists to opposing guards. Yes, I'm
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: gonna be playing a ton of Booker. They were doubling up,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: doubling him a lot last game, led to see him
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: going for thirty four to five and ten. Really strong
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: role for Booker. I love him again tonight. I think
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: you can definitely play Mark Williams now that he's starting,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: but he's not going to play like thirty four to
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: thirty five minutes. Probably capital on like thirty maybe thirty
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: two on the high end, but a really good permanent guy.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I don't love the matchup against Casser. He's a good
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: rebounder and really good rip protector, so I'm not super
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: interested in attacking that. But then you get Grayson, Allen,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Royce and Neil and Kong Gillespie. I think all these
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: guys are really really strong tonight. I definitely prefer Royce
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: and Gillespie by a pretty wide marchin over Grayson considering
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: that he's a thousand bucks more than Royce. Gillesspie's only
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: four point eight k So I like those guys a
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: good bit. Glessie's had a lot of positive coach speak
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: as well, really talented three point shooter. They like him there.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: And then Royce did a lot of everything last game.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: He's kind of a guy that can do a little
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: bit of everything. Had thirteen boards, seven assists, five steals.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Jazz are really heights turnover percentage team, so we could
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: have something similar like that tonight. But I love those
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: two and I think they are probably two of the
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: better value plays.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the breakdown there.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: I think this game comes in with a lot of ownership,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: especially with the back and forth. I'd loved what you
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: said about the Jazz Big three Kyle Philipowski.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Man, I don't know what happened to that guy.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: But Booker, Gillespie, Williams O'Neill, they're all in play. Question
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: for you, how would you rank? How would you rank Booker,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Siakam and ty Reese which is kind of all over
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: the place, but how would you rank ranked those three?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I think I would have it. How it's listed Booker, Siakama, Naxi.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Booker, Siako and Maxi all right, any other questions
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: throw them in the Chad Jordan says Royce is projected
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: pretty well, Yes, he has. A lot of those sons
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: are projected pretty well. Tonight it's gonna be a It's
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: gonna be an explosive game. We need those Jazz to
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: get those wins, though, Rio.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I need that.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I need them to get another dub tonight against the Suns.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: They've been playing everybody good. Just need them to get
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: get some wins. Nurkics Revenge Game two if you're into
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. Four K next game up on
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: the slate, got two left, got the Nuggets, got Jamal Murray.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: He's listed as questionable taking on the Trailblazers. Drew Holiday
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: ben ballin seventy two hundred dollars now on on DraftKings
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: dot com. But should be an interesting game. You know,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Yokich is gonna be played tonight. It's gonna be played
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: in droves, and rightfully so. But talk to me a
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: little bit about this game. Another hot total up in
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: the one hundred and two hundred and thirty eight as
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: well got the Nuggets four and a half point favorites
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: in Portland.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Talking about this game, he Brouchio.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Denver looks really good right now, just all around.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Their top five in defense, top three in offense, so
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: like they're poise to make a pretty deep run this season,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Like the additions that they made with Ken Johnson and
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Tim Hardway Junior and Jonas Valancuna, so they look really good.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Probably one of the better rosters they've had of recent memory.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: But the Blazers are playing really good defensive as well,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: top six in defensive ratings, so this is a pretty
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: interesting matchup. The game totals a little bit higher than
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I had anticipated. I think I thought it would be
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: somewhere in like the mid two twenties. But yeah, I
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: think that the Murray news is very big because that
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: would open up some value. I think that they would
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: probably go with Bruce Brown starting, and he would be
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: a guy that I would have a lot of interest
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: in if I knew right now that he was going
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: to be getting the start for an injured Jamal Murray.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Three point four k for a guy that can contribute
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: in every category would be something I'm highly interested in
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: But as it stands right now, I think that Jokic
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: is the only guy I'm really looking to on the
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Denver side. Don't only have much to say there, and
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: he's going to be going against Donovid Klingen and too
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Moni Kamar. They both kind of had their shot at
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: him defensively last year averaged sixty three DK points versus them,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: and then if Murray were to be out, that would
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: definitely bump him up from a usage standpoint and would
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: make him one of the best fans on the slate.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: It would be pretty close between him and Luca, I think.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, he's match a proof doing a
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: lot of everything right now, so I think I'm totally
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: fine getting to Jokic. If Jamal plays, I don't think
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: that I have a lot of interest in him coming
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: off of an injury. He's done really well in some
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: really tough matchups this season, but he will be going
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: up against Toumani Kamara, who I think is one of
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: the better defensive players in the league, and then Drew
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Holliday as well will help out there, so it could
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: be a pretty tough spot for him to get going.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: That would I mean if he's out, Gordon will look
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: a little bit better, Christian barmwoin look a little bit better.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: But I don't think that those guys would really be
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: priority plays. I think it would just be Jokic and
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: then Bruce Brown assumed that he would get to start.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: The Poland side is tough to get to. These guys
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: seem pretty appropriately priced right now than the eight point
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: three K would probably be the guy that I have
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: the most interesting, just because he has the most upside.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Of these guys, Drew is a little bit two priced
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: step now seven point two K sharp seven K is
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: too much. I think clinging is fine. Just a high
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: fantasy point for minute guy at six point one K
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: is something that would always stay in my playpool. But
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I don't really think they'm gonna get too much. I'd
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: probably be fine if I have zero Portland guys tonight.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I echo what Aaron says here is like why
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: same total for the most part, but yeah, not nowhere
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: near the same ownership or yeah, ownership projections on that game.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Any any thoughts as to why that is?
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean we kind of talked about appreciow the
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Blazers ran eleven guys in the rotation the first half
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: last game, which is always gonna make it tough to
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: especially at these prices, like these guys are, if anything, overpriced,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: so it's gonna make it tougher to make a case
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: for any of these guys in particular. And then Denver
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: they're pretty appropriately prices. We all six points six k
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: for Aaron Gordon, who hasn't done anything since the opening night,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: and then you have like two high usage guys in
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: You'll Kitchen Murray, So it's a little bit tougher to
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: make multiple pieces in this game work. I just think
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: that it's kind of you know where the production is
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: coming from in Utah Phoenix, and I think that the
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: field definitely knows that, and it's pretty comfortable with that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent point there.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: The ghost of Chauncey Billips running too many men out
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: there in Portland rip the Chauncey Billups is NBA coaching career.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Last game on the slate. Hit that like button, hit
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: that subscribe button for it certainly helps us out a ton.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Over here.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: We got Skinny Zion taking on the Clippers, the most
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: overrated team in the league. I feel like you got
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: the beard, you got bill you got Kawhi, But talk
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: to me about this game. It's a super low total
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty two and a half, but Pelicans
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: catching ten and a half.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Going up to where is that what do they call
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: that the wall? Rio?
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: They call that the wall going into the wall to
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: take on these Clippers.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a dome really really cool. Yeah that that place
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: is sick. Definitely, if you ever come to La go
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: watch any sporting event, there would be a lot of
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: fun with basketball. MMA is pretty cool there as well. Yeah,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: this is the worst game on the slate. I they
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: honestly could have just kept this one off. Like, I
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: don't really think that I want to get to too much
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: here other than you know, emergency lake swap things, because
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: I just don't really see it for the Pelicans. I mean,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: this team is they're in bad shape, like for the
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: next few years for sure. I think that I don't
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: know if they own a first round pick this year
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: or next year. They they did some weird trades. I
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: know that they're pretty screwed the draft for the next
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: few years, and I don't really have a lot of
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: piece like pieces that they can trade, so I don't know.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: They're they're kind of screwed. But defensively, they're getting killed
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: all over the court. Grim defense is terrible, transition three
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: point defense. Everything is bad for them right now. I
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna be competitive most nights. You can
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: make the case resign because he does have a really
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: big role, but he's not a lot of minutes. I'd
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: probably be fine with Jeremiah Fears. He bounced back in
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: a pretty big way last time out got the start again.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: They wanted to go back to him bounce back from
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: his awful start against Boston where he shaw one for eleven,
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: went ten for fifteen last game, six assists. So if
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: you're choosing one guy, it's probably Fears On the Pelicans
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: the Clipper side, these guys are all on a pretty
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: good spot. I just don't know if there's like game
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: breaking or a sleep breaking upside from these guys right
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: now in a game that they're projected to win by
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: double digits. So Harden's totally fine. He will see herb
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Jones on defense, which makes it a little bit tougher.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: So I've probably lean Kawhi. You're choosing between the two,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: then Zubak is in a pretty good spot. I like
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: attacking the center spot of the Pelicans. But I definitely
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: prefer Walker Kesser by a pretty wide margin than any
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: other value player that's cheaper than Zubax. So yea, I'm
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: not getting into too much in this game. I don't think.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it just seems like a gross game here. It's
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: definitely not a poll party. I was thinking about Sean
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Sullivan the ward. Oh yeah, definitely not a pull party
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: in there. That'll do it. That's all. Uh, that's all
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: I gained. So way to break it down, best of
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: the business, my man, Hebrew Chieta broke it all down
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: for us Top Spin on the slate.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Rio, you're going Jokic, You're going Luca who's.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Hired tonight in terms of DK Fantasy points just between
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: those two or like the just between those two.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna say Luca. I think he comes
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: back and just picks up right where he left off.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: He looked really good before the injury.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: So you you made it sound like you think someone's
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: gonna outscore one of those two.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: No, No, I don't think that. I don't know if
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: either of those guys will get out score tonight, but
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I think from like a points per dollar perspective based
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: off of pricing. I think that Devin booker Is is
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: really good tonight. That's probably gonna be a guy that
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: is heavily utilized across my portfolio tonight.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Louis he just he just spent the last thirty nine
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: minutes and fifty four seconds of mentoring.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: You gave you all the all the picks, all the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: plays to play. We appreciate you.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Sorry, I didn't want to. Yeah, I forgot to mention this.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: I'm terrible. Jordan always messages me about these giveaways and
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: I keep forgetting. But yeah, Jordan was so kind to
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: give away two forty dollars seeingle entry tickets tonight, or
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: you know, forty dollars worth of money and DraftKings for
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: the for the slate tonight. So he's gonna I don't
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: know if he wants to give one out here, if
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: he just wants to do both in the discord, but
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: we're gonna be doing doing that. Jordan, you're still listening.
• 40:28

  Speaker 2: use Gillespie again because I'm gonna be a bunch of
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: sons guys. But I think it's I think it's probably
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: jars Walker. If they're gonna be playing him thirty six
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: plus minutes a night moving forward, he's probably underpriced up
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: until like six point five K. I would say. I mean,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: a very very talented player that just kind of got
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: buried on the roster with this team being competitive over
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: the last few years. But I think that he's pretty
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: good and had a pretty strong role last game, so
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I think that he's pretty pretty solid up to like
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: six point five k.
• 41:32
