  Speaker 1: a night in his one game this week. He got
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: good value. You know what I mean. He might be

• 2:37
  Speaker 1: on from Giannis. You know, at the dead line, you know,
• 2:40

  Speaker 1: me about a d I wanted to touch on. I know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you know, the Luca ad trade still kind of been
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a high topic up until they fired Nico. You know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: as a Math fan, we all know Lucas should have
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: been able to retire Math, you know what I mean,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: But as fans we also don't run the organization, so
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you just gotta go with go, roll with the punches.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Whoever they're they playing hard, they balling. Try to cheer
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: him on. This ain't d trade, ain't gonna lie. It
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: kind of intrigued me with the vision that Nico had
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: for the MAVs. You know, I've been watching basketball for
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a few decades now, and to see this team the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: way they built, especially if they all healthy, the vision
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: intrigued me. They kind of built like an old school team.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: A dominant big, a dominant guard, great role players, great shooters,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, a lot of playmakers. I
• 4:15

  Speaker 1: of them dudes that he gonna be good to today.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: He called it just because of the way he played,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Not a lot of athleticism,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: but it's a lot of mental a lot of smarts.

• 6:52
  Speaker 1: already know what it is. You already know why we're here.
• 6:54

• 6:57
  Speaker 1: if your roster need assists, need threes, you need you
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, don't chase the name, chase the role.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Opportunity always beats reputation. So at the guard spot. I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: got Aaron Wiggins out of ok See sixteen percent roster,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: twenty five fantasy points a game. His minutes down a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: little bit, you know what I'm since he came back
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: from a thigh injury in November November thirty. You know
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But he's still bringing the scoring and steals.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: He only got two games next week though, so stream accordingly.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: But I do like Aaron Wiggins, you know what I mean.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It's season long stats support the ad support the stream
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: y'all look at him. Next up, my dog, Harrison. Harrison
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: bourns for the Spurs seventeen percent roster, twenty six fantasy points,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: thirteen and a half points, three revs, two assists, one steal.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Veteran glue guy got three games a week nine. He
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a former math. You know what I mean he always
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: shown that he a great seemed like he a great teammate.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, he's a smart player. He's
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: just coming in and you know, get the job done,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: no complaints, go to work, lunch pair, bring your lunch pair,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the work kind of guy. Yeah. So Harrison Bars was
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: my forward. They are my big Draymond Green. Now he
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: is fifty eight percent roster, but you know, forty two
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: percent still some availability in some of the MISPN leagues.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Obviously he would go to State twenty five fantasy points.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Still you know, still producing. You know, at this point
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: in his career he g averaging eight six and six
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: on the year. One still one block Draymond doing Draymond things. Naw, again,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: he only got two games next week. But you're a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: good streamer, you know what I'm saying, You're a vible streamer.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: He had a forty two point fantasy game already this season.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: You know, he he still do what he do. So yeah,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I had Draymond at the big, had Harrison Bars at
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the four, and I have some Bars do have three
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: games next week. And then I had a Aaron Wiggins
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: at the guard spot from ok See Aaron Wiggins had
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: two games. A Mnna have two games. Harson Boy has
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: three games. Y'all tap in. Let me know who y'all
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: like the stream and the comments on the check, so
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you know that's a rap on the wave of wide
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: scoop on the hustle's pickup. So we're gonna keep it
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: moving to this playoff spotlight. You know, this is a guy.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: We all like this guy. We all like his game usage, minutes, matchups, production.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: He is straight cooking, straight cooking. Sixty five fantasy points
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: in this game. This last week, his last game he played,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you know, he had forty and nine. I believe that
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: was Monday against Phoenix. Boy had seventy four against Sacramento
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. That's fantasy points. Seventy four fantasy points.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: His floor is twenty five. That's fantasy goal. If you
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: could piscol in twenty five. Every night you go get dubbs,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you are gonna get dubs. You know, I like Anthony Edwards.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: You know he give us highlight plays, play hard. He
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: could score the ball, you know, so if you you
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: was able to draft him, you was able to get
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: him shot out to you. He was doing your thing.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's that's sit on my player spotlight.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Here's my in the zone guy, my in the zone
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: sleeper pick. I spoke about him earlier, KPJ. KPJ, I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: said this earlier, you know, when you know, when we
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: saw the when I highlighted the fifty fifty five Fantasy
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: points from this week. You know what I mean, the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: eighteen to ten, the thirteen assists, triple double, you know,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: type of game playing thirty four minutes. Like I said,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: his role could explode more if Jannis gets moved. He
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a score, He a shooter, your athlete, you know what
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you're able to get him in trade
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: talks right now before the breakout, while Yan is still out,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: while Yan is still on the bucks, I think right
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: now it's a good time to try to see if
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you you know, you could kick a try for KPJ.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: You know, he might not be you know, real under
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the radar. He might be you know what I mean,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: he's not really you know, he's on everybody roster, But
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: like I say, he looked like he got some breakout potential,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: specially with the Gianna's rumors. So you know, we find
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: value before the rest of the league see it, you
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. So, like I said, I like KPJ.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: If you able to able to secure him in the trade,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that's something you definitely should look at. You know what
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, A long as you ain't sacrific you know,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: sacrifice or sabotaging your season. But you know, I like KPJ. Y'all.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Let me know in the comments, let me know in
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the chat who y'all like at the end of zone
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: sleeper pit. Who a nice trade target, nice bilow target,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: or just somebody who on the way While anybody who
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: like this is under the radar, that ain't you know,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: people ain't really talking about him. Tap in. Let me
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: know what y'all think on it. So we're gonna get
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to this Hustler's Energy Lock Pick of the Week. This
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: is who I stand. You know, this is who I get.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I locked the lock and I'm throwing away the key
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: on this guy. This is, like I say, this ain't prediction,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it's conviction. Jalen Johnson, He's a lock. That's who. I'm
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: locking the lock and I'm throwing away the key, y'all.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: He averaged twenty three ten and a half and eight assists.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: On the season, he ate at his position since Trey
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: young injury, Jalen, you know what I mean, and carry
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Atlanta to the playoff level play you know what I'm saying.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: He got them in playoff position. Atlanta, you know, kind
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: of always a French playoff team usually in that playing situation.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: But I think when Trey Young come back, him and
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson really could do some damage him. Jalen Johnson
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and KP you know what I mean. So they could
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: definitely make some noise out there in the East. Because
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Jalen just really liked that he averaging almost a triple double.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Like I said, So he a dog, he a leader,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: he a bucket and I'm locking them in and I'm
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: throwing away the key. Yeah. Like I said, I like
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson for my Hustle's Energy Locked pick of the Week.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: So now we're about to get into Fantasy community debate.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: This is the last segment of the show. This is
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: where we you know, close the show with the bold
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: question something I've seen on the internet or anything. This
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: one hit home. This one personal for me. Is it
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: time to sell how check Holk or is he the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: future of his position in fantasy. Now, the reason why
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I say this one personal. I drafted Check in my
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: basketball league, you know what I mean, and he had
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: great production. Thankfully, I was able to secure a trade
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to get Karl Anthony Towns for Check. Now, at the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: time I traded Check, it was really about a washing
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the fantasy production. But I'm thankful I was able to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: get off Check because, okay, see, it's just blowing everybody out.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: We ain't seen it since the sixteen Warriors, where every night,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: come fourth quarter, the start is resting and then and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: then it gets to a point of where you kind
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: of surprised when they even it a close game, so
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: to see, you know what they're doing out there. Okay, see,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I think Chet's a great player. I think he good.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: He definitely produced any time he out there, you know
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: what I mean. But I think for this season, I
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: think if you can sell, you can sell on Check.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I think, you know what I mean. You if you
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: can secure a nice little package to sell on Check,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you probably got a good shot to you know, better
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: your situation. Because I think they okay, see, just they're
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: just too good right now, you know what I mean,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: They just too good right now. We've seen this before.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: A lot of starters get a lot of rest on
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: teams like this. So yeah, I'm not I'm not feeling
