2:05
How much we got a nice game here to kick us off. Clippers
2:07
Pacers two forty six and a half is the total in this one pace up
2:14
spot here for the clips clips three point favorites on the road. Here we
2:17
got injury news. Haliburt Miles Turner remain questionable right now. Obviously if those
2:22
guys missed, it's gonna be chalk city here with a lot of these pacers,
2:25
so kind of hard to break it down. I haven't seen any additional
2:29
news on those guys. Yet Haliburton questionable with the knee in that one touch
2:35
on this game two forty six and a half total. Pretty close spread in
2:38
this one, just a three point spread. Kawhi Leonard, Paul George,
2:42
Halliburton, James Harden, Zubac. Where are you going? Yeah? No,
2:47
I mean, obviously we're waiting on some uh symmetry news for Halliburton and
2:53
UH Turner. Hopefully they both play. This should be a pretty good,
2:58
pretty good game. But my face favorite play in the game, regardless of
3:00
who plays, is gonna be Kawhi Leonard. I really like Kawhi Leonard power
3:07
forward eligibility on both sites, I believe and just so happens, Pacers are
3:13
the worst team in the league at defending the power forward. Kawhi has had
3:16
some turn back to clock games here recently. He's gonna be my favorite clipper
3:21
in this game. Favorite favorite pacer for me would be Halliburton should he play.
3:29
Don't mind Haliburton, don't mind, don't mind Miles Turner if he plays,
3:32
and then I would sprinkle in some James Harden and Paul George. But
3:36
I'm gonna make Kawhi a priority of mine that I really like Kawhi. I
3:38
think he has a really good game in this game. Slay to score,
3:43
you know, one hundred and twenty six points, which highest on the slate.
3:46
If I'm not mistaken in terms of total total points. I think that
3:52
Detroit Atlanta games closed. But give me Kawhi, give me, give me
3:54
the other two superstars, and then give me ty Reese and Miles Turner.
3:59
Kind of round to doubt. I'm not gonna be playing any of the value
4:00
guess night in this game. I don't believe. Yeah, no, I
4:04
do like that. I'm seeing decent ownership right now on Kawi for good measure,
4:09
right, twenty six percent probably between twenty five and thirty percent ownership here,
4:13
great matchup, right, Indy struggles big time. James Harden coming off
4:17
what seventy one fantasy point game four nights ago against Golden State where he shot
4:23
five of six from three, six from twelve from the field, picked up
4:26
fifteen assists in seven rebounds, right almost got his way to the triple double
4:29
score twenty eight real life. I don't hate him, but I do prefer
4:32
Kawhi. Leonard. I'm with you there, but there is a massive ownership
4:35
discount there for James Harden, he is only point guard eligible. It's tough
4:40
to play one of these big three though overall eleven games slate, I'm not
4:45
super intrigued by it. Kawhi definitely with you there my favorite outside of that.
4:48
Really don't have a ton of interest in these guys, especially if Haliburton
4:53
and Miles Turner sit or play. Excuse me, obviously, if they slit
4:57
sit, you're gonna look at guys like Isaiah Jackson, right, but healed
5:00
Bruce Brown, everyone else gets a boost. TJ. McConnell, Mathurin.
5:03
Everyone else is going to get a boost. But right now I'm playing like
5:08
they they do play. Haven't looked too much into it. Been a pretty
5:12
busy day Monday going on here with everything else. Definitely matter that news,
5:15
We will get that news before Locke. Obviously this game tips off right away
5:18
early in the slate. But for me, it's pretty much Kawi Leonder or
5:21
pass. If those two other pacers do play, everyone else is pretty much
5:25
priced up appropriately right, everyone's basically priced up. I mean, Bruce Brown's
5:30
up over six k, Buddy heals up over six k. Even though Zad
5:33
Jackson the backup center there behind Miles Turner up at five k so Pacer side
5:39
pretty paced, pretty priced. Appropriately for me Clippers side, it would just
5:45
be one of Paul or one of James Harden or KWHI Leonard Really don't have
5:48
a ton of interest in Paul George myself, even though he is the cheapest
5:53
of the three. Jump into the next game. Here we got Chicago,
5:56
we got Philly. Obviously, anytime Joel Embiids on the slate is a talking
6:01
point here Philly ten and a half point favorites here two twenty six is the
6:06
total. Maybe a Joel Embiid Outside of that, not really seeing a ton
6:11
Maybe a Vucevic against Embiid in a in a tough matchup, but Embiid is
6:14
questionable as while Carus is questionable, and then Marcus Morris is also questionable on
6:17
the Philly side. So some more news in this one. Not the greatest
6:21
total, not the greatest game. Environment obviously massive spread here, Philly at
6:25
home should be able to handle this squad pretty easily. Where you're going to
6:28
this one Philly Chicago. Yeah, I like this game. I mean,
6:32
obviously Embiid is on another uh you know, another planet, you know,
6:39
really really good play over on DraftKings at eleven and five. Uh, he
6:46
should. I mean, I think the I think the Bulls have been playing
6:48
better of late, so hopefully they keep it close. Uh So, I
6:53
don't. I don't think he's gonna sit out like he has over the last
6:57
couple of games. So give me some Joel. And then on the other
7:00
side, I really like uh Vukovich. I like Vukevich going up against on
7:04
the other side of that at the center position. So yeah, give me
7:11
some Vukovich, give me some Joel. Obviously you can only play one on
7:15
FanDuel on two. You theoretically could play them both if you wanted to.
7:19
Uh, Joel is is popping over here in our models over here at ship
7:23
at Nation, So I would rank him obviously a little bit higher than Vukovic,
7:27
But vouch would be my favorite Bull to play Embiid and then man,
7:30
it's really tough in my opinion, to play a lot of these seventy six
7:33
ers unless you know an embiid or or a MAXI are gonna miss just because
7:40
those two dominate so much, and you have to have a lot to go
7:43
your way. In my opinion, if you're a seventy six or so it
7:46
would be Embiid or bus for me and then Voos on the other side.
7:50
You know, we like tomorrow a little bit for just looking at some of
7:53
our stuff over here. Uh, but for me, it's only gonna be
7:56
in bet Embiid or Vooch tonight. Yeah, I am embiid is He's still
8:01
questionable. I see some I see Matt talking about game time decision. I'm
8:05
still seeing on Basketball Monster him is questionable, Tory Craig doubtful, Carus are
8:11
questionable, and Marcus Morris remain questionable. If uh, excuse me, if
8:16
Embid does play here, I really love the spot for him. He's my
8:18
favorite stud in the slate at eleven and five. Just think he crushes his
8:22
matchup here. It is a plus matchup as well for him against Vus and
8:26
then vouch what he's been doing right at a K running it back. It
8:30
is a tough matchup here against Embid. I was just trying to look at
8:31
his numbers against Embiid in the past versus hold on. Let me let me
8:39
just see how he's fared versus Embiid in the past, just because I mean,
8:46
you could pair both centers in this game and just get contrary in that
8:50
way, right play both centers from the same game, So not the greatest
8:54
success overall versus him embiid right eighteen his last game forty eight fifty five thirty
8:58
eight, So not a ton of interest overall. I think you could go
9:03
there. It's just basically a beater pass for me in this game. Obviously
9:07
monitor to the news there. He is questionable. I'm seeing him, so
9:09
remain questionable. I don't see game time decision right now from what I'm seeing,
9:15
but obviously do you have to monitor that. Jumping into the next game,
9:18
here we have Houston, we have Cleveland in this game, contrarian Donovan
9:26
Mitchell spind Up maybe. But outside of that, looking at the total in
9:28
this one two fourteen, I believe it's the lowest on the slate overall.
9:33
Just a four point spread though for me, not a ton of interest in
9:37
anyone in this game personally. But do you see something I'm missing here?
9:41
Yeah, I mean it would be Mitchell for me. I mean, Houston
9:45
has just gotten so much better defensively this year, slowing it down a whole
9:48
whole lot. They're tough to tuck the score on. But I don't mind
9:52
Donovan Mitchell, you know, ever, especially if he's going to be lower
9:56
owned, but that's still a big boy price tag you're paying. That would
10:01
be it for me. And then it's just so hard to in my opinion,
10:03
to to pinpoint these uh these rockets, which one's gonna do get good.
10:07
It's a low total game, so yeah, I mean it's it's it's
10:11
Mitchell or bust for me, and it's probably gonna be busted. Just looking
10:13
at I can find better plays in my opinion, so we can skip this
10:16
one. Yeah, I'm uh, I don't think I can get to Mitchell
10:20
at his price point. Really, I think that game just plays better real
10:24
life basketball game than DFS game. And that's all right. Eleven games you
10:26
can't play everyone. That's a game that I'm crossing off personally. This next
10:31
one here, Toronto at Home versus Charlotte. Eleven point favorites two twenty five
10:35
is the total in this one. Pace up spot here for Toronto. From
10:39
an injury standpoint, Rosier's questionable, Miles Bridges is questionable, Hayward's questionable PJ.
10:45
Washington is questionable. Basically the whole for the four the five starters right
10:48
are all questionable on this Uh, I'm the Charlotte team. It's hard to
10:52
break down right now. Obviously, if one or two, three, all
10:58
those guys sit, it's gonna bring in guys back cups, right mcgallan's Ish
11:01
Schmith, Brandon Miller. Nick Richards is the only guy that's not questionable right
11:05
now in the starting lineup projected, So touching this game kind of if then
11:09
statement, if those guys miss where you're going, it is still a pretty
11:13
tough matchup overall against Toronto. Yeah, Toronto at home. And my two
11:18
favorite plays are gonna be Dennis Shrewder point guard position. Charlotte not very good
11:22
defensively, very bad guarding the point guard position as well. So give me
11:28
some Shrewder. Also, give me some Scottie Barnes would be my second favorite.
11:33
Scotty would be my second favorite player in this game. The Charlotte has
11:39
tons of trouble guarding you know, forwards and big men. So give me
11:43
some Scottie Barns, give me some Dennis Shrewder would be my two favorite plays.
11:46
And uh, I mean, we'll see if some some value opens up
11:50
on the Charlotte side. You know, maybe it seems like those guys have
11:52
been value all season long and and continuously let us down. So we'll see
11:56
what pops. You know, who sits, who's not. But give me
12:00
Shrewder, Give me some Scottie Barnes. Really like Scottie Barnes night, I
12:03
believe eighty eight hundred if I'm not mistaken, So give me give me him.
12:07
I think I like him a little bit tonight over over Siakam. I'm
12:13
sorry Scotty Barnes ninety two hundred versus eighty three hundred on Siakam, so four
12:16
hundred dollars off. Give me Scottie Barnes over Siaka to night. Give me
12:20
some Shrewder tonight as well. At that point guard position. Yeah, my
12:24
two favorite players are actually Potal and Schroeder here total at six to one,
12:31
has a nice price point here. This is a plus matchup for him against
12:33
Charlotte here. If he gets his minutes, I think he can crush this.
12:39
That's just the concern. I mean, if he if he sees thirty
12:41
two minutes here, he should post a good game obviously, like he did
12:43
two games ago on the on the back of the thirteenth against Atlanta when he
12:48
played thirty two I mean, if he gets his thirty to thirty two minutes,
12:52
he can smash I believe here. So I do have some interest in
12:54
Potal. I'm seeing very very low ownership on him at that mid tier six
12:58
one. I mean, if he gets you forty forty five DraftKings points,
13:01
you're more than happy with that. So I do like Poto a little bit.
13:05
And then Dennis Schroeder as well. I'm with you there. Don't don't
13:09
mind the flop lake spot there after coming off that bus there when that total
13:13
was massive there when they played the Hawks last game. But it does look
13:20
like Rosier is gonna play. He is probable pretty much the two guys that
13:22
are questionable that that might sit our Hayward in PGA Washington. So if one
13:28
of those guys misses, obviously it gives a boost to Miles Bridges if he
13:33
plays Brandon Miller, and then maybe a backup right forward maybe like a mcgallan's
13:39
or a JT thor or something like that. But until we have that news,
13:43
it's hard to go there. My two favorite plays definitely Poto and Schroederer
13:46
in this one, Hey Mark, Mark's asking about my guy o g on
13:50
Anobi any love for o g no no og for me. I'm gonna let
13:54
him score another fifty on min to night. I'm not going there. Mark,
13:58
and then Barnes, I think we said was ninety two hundred. Barnes
14:03
is, yeah, screwed it up again. But uh I don't mind Barnes.
14:09
I don't that price doesn't scare me tonight. Mark, sorry, go
14:11
ahead, and Nates Yeah, no, great breakdown. Let's jump into the
14:16
next game. Here. I believe this is the highest total on the slate.
14:18
To forty six is the total here. I believe this is second actually
14:22
behind that Washington game later but too forty six total here Trey Young at just
14:28
ten k flat here at home against a team that can't go far, can't
14:33
guard the point guard. Trey Young absolutely nuken slate right, I mean,
14:37
last two games, he went absolutely absurd against Toronto Nuggets. I mean,
14:41
arguably one of the best matchups in the league against Detroit here at ten k
14:46
touch on Trey Young touch on jaydon Ivy on the flip side at just five
14:50
three, seeing some ownership flock to his way. But definitely a pretty juicy
14:52
game. It is a it is a heavy spread here, right, eleven
14:56
point spread for Atlanta at home in this one. But I gotta have you
15:01
gotta have some interest in this one. I think this is a great game
15:03
environment here. Obviously Detroit plays minimal defense here. All these Hawks are gonna
15:07
grate out pretty well for me. Overall, it's just a matter of what
15:11
ones you click to play in terms of the questionable Capella, Bogdanovich, DeAndre
15:16
Hunter, Killy and Hayes have questionable tags right now, So touch on that
15:20
where you go in this one Detroit Atlanta. Yeah, I think we're gonna
15:24
see a little bit of this or whatever my homeboy Trey does tonight. Trey's
15:28
gonna I was doing this in case, in case you were looking at or
15:33
whatever that little move is he does. Yeah, Trey Young is about to
15:35
uh about to blow up tonight. And uh he's a great play. He's
15:39
gonna be a great play on both sides. So give me some Trey Young
15:43
and then, uh, I mean, the pissons just can't guard, you
15:46
know, can't guard the ball handler. So give me him. Clint Compella.
15:50
I don't mind him. He is Q tag. I think he missed
15:52
the last game. If if he were to miss I think that, and
15:56
this is gonna this is gonna be really gross, But I think that opens
16:00
it up a little bit for for my guy, Marvin Bagley, right,
16:03
starting at the center position tonight. Compella missed last game and Jared Allen went
16:08
for I think twenty five and fifteen or twenty four and fifteen, something like
16:12
that, So monitor Clint Capella. They don't have much rent protection as it
16:17
is, and then if he sits, it just opens it up a little
16:18
bit more. Marvin Bagley, the third forty nine hundred dollars at the center
16:22
position should should easily exceed six x if Clint's out, But Trey Young would
16:30
be number one. Yeah, I know, I was looking. I saw
16:33
a lot of people on Jade and Ivan Jaden Ivy earlier today fifty three hundred,
16:37
you know, almost three thousand dollars under Cad Cunningham, similar, similar
16:42
situation. Obviously Cad plays a little bit more, but don't mind Jaden Ivy.
16:47
But for me, it's Trey Young for sure. Bogdon bog Donovince,
16:51
we should have two. Bog Donovinch is playing the night. I like Bogdon
16:53
from the Hawks better than Bojohn for the Pistons. I know the one for
16:59
the Hawks is quite shitable, but it's Trey, It's Bogdanovich for the Hawks,
17:03
it's Marvin Bagley for me. If if Capella sits, and that's about
17:07
it. Yeah, no great breakdown. I do think if DeAndre Hunter is
17:15
in, he's gonna guard Bogdanovic here Bojan on Detroit side, So that's a
17:21
pretty tough manag shop. DeAndre Hunter obviously a great wing defender there, so
17:23
don't really love him a ton. Marvin Bagley and James Wiseman should split the
17:30
forty eight minutes at center, So I think you could play one of those
17:33
guys, especially if Capella, who is not slated to be in the starting
17:37
lineup. So people at least what I'm looking at, are projecting Compella to
17:41
sit again in this one. So obviously that would bring a guy like Oaka
17:45
Congu into play here at sixty three hundred, he's a high fantasy point per
17:48
minute producer, especially if he's in there without Capella. I believe him and
17:53
Capella were both in the starting lineup together last game if I'm not mistaken.
17:57
If Capella sits, that definitely get is a big boost to uh, a
18:00
neck of conglu here overall. But yeah, I really love Trey Young.
18:06
I mean, this guy's cooking right now. He's ten k. He's got
18:08
a nice price point. Kind of gives you a different roster construction than going
18:14
all the way up. I haven't built too many teams yet to see if
18:17
you could fit in the Trey Young and a guy like Joel Embiid, because
18:19
those two guys could absolutely both nuke the slate go for seventy plus both of
18:23
them. And Trey Young at ten k flat, I'm seeing some fifteen percent
18:27
ownership on him. Where it isn't isn't too concerning overall, Jayden ivy five
18:33
to three I think is fine. He's got a pretty decent projection overall,
18:37
his ownership should stay in check. I mean, he's been pretty brutal,
18:41
I get it. But it's still a matchup standpoint or a matchup play here
18:45
overall, But yeah, that's kind of It's kind of Tree Young. Basically,
18:48
it is the number one piece for me, and then I think you
18:52
could play one of Bagley, one of Bagley and James Wiseman. I see
18:57
some people talking about James Wiseman in the chat after He's coming off that forty
19:02
point game where he played twenty eight minutes against Philly right, went nine from
19:07
twelve from the field, thirteen rebounds, picked up a double double. I
19:11
think I prefer Bagley at the cheaper price point, but it's pretty gross.
19:17
Pick it. Clicking on Bagley, what's your take, I'm Bagglely versus Wiseman
19:19
there, because if you think that's yeah, it's gross for sure. I'm
19:26
with you outside Bagley a little bit over Wiseman. Uh, and just hope
19:30
badly. You know, you can get twenty you know, twenty five minutes
19:33
and you know, and they could basically split that in it for a thousand
19:37
dollars less expensive. I'm with you, I'm going badly there. And then
19:41
touch on this, what's your take on if Killian Hayes is out Marcus sasser
19:45
worth the worth of flyer. My take on that is, man, I'd
19:48
played this Sassar kid. I like him. I liked him when he was
19:52
at Houston. Uh, you know, playing college. I understand that college
19:55
is a little different than the NBA, but I think he's got some juice
19:57
to him. I really like that. Are not sure you know he was
20:00
playing a bunch there. You know, back in early November, something had
20:03
to have happened, right, You don't go from playing thirty minutes to none
20:06
that this is the worst team in the NBA. So uh, yeah,
20:08
I don't. I don't hate that, Nico. Yeah, but let's see,
20:12
let's see what Hayes is. My problem though, is you know you
20:15
still got Ivy, you still have cutting Ham. There's one other guard.
20:19
I think I'm missing out and so so he's kind of that fourth guard,
20:23
if you will, if Ivy sits. So I don't hate it. I
20:29
like him, but I'm not coaching the Pistons this year, and so I
20:32
don't see him playing many more than than twenty minutes. Yeah, I mean
20:37
at this point, anybody should be a coach of the Pistons. I mean,
20:38
this team is I see see a guy in the chat psa hey right
20:42
talking about over under ten games they win this season. I might take a
20:47
slight lean on the over just because I mean some of these teams just punt
20:52
punt off games and they might sit everyone in Detroit. I mean, all
20:56
these guys are gonna go out there, might prove a point or something,
20:57
but yeah, it's not gonna be my more than ten games if they do
21:00
win over over ten games there, But do you think this is an interesting
21:04
game? There is blow out concern obviously in this spot, especially if Trey
21:07
Young is going lights out like he has been the last two games. But
21:12
again, if the game blows out, it's likely due to Trey Young smashing.
21:17
So for me, Trey Young a ton of interest in him. Capella
21:19
plays, I do like Copella if he sits, I really like Okongwu.
21:22
And then on the Detroit side, I think I prefer Marvin Bagley to James
21:29
Wiseman. Obviously, Marvin Bagley has a great matchup as well. Centers against
21:33
Atlanta has been a thing all season long so far. So that's kind of
21:37
where I'm at in this game. Jump into the next one here, Minnesota
21:41
and Miami. Pretty gross game in this one to seventeen total here, I
21:48
mean, and Edwards questionable, Jaden McDaniel's questionable. Outside of that, pretty
21:51
much everyone's healthy in this one. Really not a ton of interest anywhere in
21:56
this game for me. I know Jamal Kaine was the thing last week,
22:00
but not not gonna go back to the well there and deal with that.
22:06
Another cross off spot for me. Obviously eleven games. There's much better game,
22:08
much better total environments in this one. I think this is about a
22:11
real life basketball team. Obviously two very good defensive basketball teams here overall.
22:15
But do you see something I missing? Yeah, the Aunt Edwards was the
22:21
news over the last couple of days for some non related basketball things. So
22:25
hopefully he can get out of the gutter with that. Go collect mentioned it
22:29
in the chat. We get our guy, Tyler Hero back the Native Sun
22:33
for all those Wisconsin nights. He's back tonight. This is just gonna muddy
22:37
the waters even more right, This is a should be a real life game.
22:41
Obviously, it's a one or two point spread, low ish, low
22:45
ish total. I'm with you, Naids. I'm not gonna be playing anybody
22:48
tonight in DFS. Bam is back. Uh should be a real, real,
22:52
real, a good real life game. Not for me tonight for fantasy
22:57
purposes, however, Yeah, Tyler Herro being back completely takes me off of
23:03
anyone from Miami. These pieces are still priced up like Tyler has been out
23:06
right, BAM's ninety three hundred, Butler's eighty seven hundred. Really don't like
23:10
playing Butler until it comes close to playoff time, Tyler Herroll at eighty three
23:14
hundred, you can't really play him, even Josh richards in the secondary pieces,
23:18
Caleb Martin's up to sixty seven hundred, Richardson's forty seven hundred. So
23:21
these price has adjusted correctly. Nobody really for me on the Minnesota side either,
23:26
so another cross off spot for me. Jump into the seven pm window
23:32
standalone game. Memphis okac here total in this one two thirty. Another big,
23:38
big spread, right Oka, see ten point favorites here at home.
23:42
Touch on this one, man, Okay, see Memphis not seeing a ton
23:47
of injury news in this one. You got SGA, you got Chat,
23:49
you got Desmond Bayne Jackson. On the other side, you got a lot
23:52
of ownership going to Vince Williams Junior on on the Memphis side at forty six,
24:00
and then Santi al Dama projected to get a decent amount of ownership,
24:03
quite a bit of ownership going to this game. Guys like Isaiah, Joe
24:06
Gilliard, Xavier Tillman, Jared Jackson, all these guys over ten percent,
24:10
Josh Giddy at six k flat. I do think it's an interesting game to
24:14
talk about from a dfast perspective, because it's gonna draw pretty heavy ownership in
24:18
this one, because Derek Rose remains outright and Biz mack Is remains doubtful in
24:26
this one. Yeah, this game should be up and paced game right and
24:32
in Memphis hasn't been very good all season long, obviously decimated by injuries,
24:37
decimated by their best player doing some extra curricular activities. So give me some
24:42
SGA man. This guy, this guy's really good. He's got a big
24:47
boy price tag too. Obviously he can't play all the big dogs. So
24:48
it's gonna be you know, do you want him? Do you want Trey?
24:52
Do you want to be? Who? Do you want? I don't
24:53
mind SGA to nine. He looks very good on everything that I'm looking at.
24:59
He would be my favorit thunder piece. He's obviously expensive. And you
25:03
talked about Santi and Vince Williams Junior. They're both gonna come with a lot
25:08
of ownership, and uh, you know, for Santy Santi's case, he
25:14
hasn't been playing a who whole lot in my opinion. Uh, you know,
25:17
Busy is Is is questionable slash doubtful, so that could give him some
25:21
uptick. But if busy since then, then he is the next big guy
25:25
they you know, they released Lofton Junior, who wouldn't playing a whole lot
25:29
to begin with either. But uh, I'm gonna wait and see what they
25:32
do with their lineup. I mean, Vince Williams has been coming on,
25:36
you know, playing you know thirty, you know, twenty eight to thirty
25:37
minutes over the last couple of games. Uh, so he'll get a ton
25:41
of interest. And then you know, d Baye and Jared Jackson Junior would
25:45
be the other pieces. But at that price, tag, I just don't
25:48
see how you can afford to get up to Bayne or Jackson. So,
25:52
uh, if I were to play these grislies, it would be Santy,
25:55
it would be Vince eat that chalk and then and then Paerimm maybe an SGA.
26:00
Yeah, Tillman remains in the doghouse. So that's kind of the love
26:03
for Santi al Dono. He's picking up a lot of those Tillman minutes.
26:07
I much prefer Vince Williams Junior here, who should have to play over thirty
26:11
minutes here to kind of kind of put a hand in front of Sga and
26:15
try and slow him down on this side. So I definitely have interest in
26:18
Vince Williams at four to six. If he gets his thirty eight twenty eight
26:22
to thirty two minutes again here, that's a fairly nice value play. He's
26:26
gonna come with ownership, But again, a lot of times ownership in NBA
26:30
DFS is different than other sports. A lot of times ownership is for a
26:33
good reason. Right minutes lead to production and fantasy points for a minute lead
26:37
to that he should be thrust it into more minutes here for his defense alone
26:42
against SGA, So I do like that. And on the other side,
26:47
I mean, you get SGA against the rookie, right, SGA kind of
26:51
does his thing. He has a ton of upside, like he's showing multiple
26:55
times in his career. Just went for sixty seven against the the Kings a
27:02
couple of games ago. He's projected sub five percent ownership on this game,
27:04
So have interest in him as as a stud spend up. I think I
27:08
prefer Trey Young at five hundred dollars cheaper just with the matchup, but again,
27:12
both of Trey Young could that game could easily blow out, and Trey
27:17
Young still has guys like Dejenttey Murray right, Bogdanovic other ball handlers to really
27:21
steal from him. I mean this is SGA's team right outside of Jalen Williams.
27:26
I mean, Josh Giddy's been absolutely atrocious. Last game. You could
27:30
see a flop leg there. He put a couple of good games together before
27:33
that. That last game, which I saw our guy in the chat mark
27:37
talking about, right, fifteen minutes, four points last game. I didn't
27:40
look into it if he got injured or what, or if he just was
27:42
was got awful and got benched. Personally, I didn't watch that game,
27:48
but I do like SGA here, Vince Williams. I prefer Williams to al
27:52
Dama. Don't really want to pair those two together, to be honest,
27:55
especially at their ownership in this spot. So it's SG for me, Vince
28:00
Williams. Chat Holmgrim I think is in okay center play. But there's a
28:06
lot of good centers on this plate on the slate, so basically those three
28:08
for me and kind of move on in this one. Hey, real quick,
28:14
Andrew. I don't know if we specifically mentioned that he's power forward eligible,
28:18
but Nate's did talk about conglu especially if Capella and or who was that
28:25
other gentleman that you mentioned next question with DeAndre Hunter. If either one of
28:27
those missed, especially especially Capella, he should get some minutes. Yeah,
28:33
he's power forward eligible as well. We did. I don't think we specifically
28:34
called that up, but we did talk about him. That is big,
28:38
right because center is obviously you can only play one center, and if you
28:41
want to play two, you got to use up your utility. So getting
28:44
a starting center, which Okannggu and Capella have been starting together, Finally they
28:48
put those two together. I know our guy Hebrew, who handles the bulk
28:52
of the NBA over here for US at ship at Nation, has been waiting
28:55
for that to happen. They finally did that. But if Capella misses,
28:57
I mean Okanlu comes one of the best players in the slate in my opinion,
29:02
against Detroit with that matchup, especially with with no if no Capella in
29:07
there, to to be fighting for minutes and usage. So really like that
29:11
a lot. Shove me to the next one here, Brooklyn, Utah eight
29:15
PM game in this one two thirty two is the total close spread in this
29:18
one pace up spot pretty neutral pace overall. There's a four point spread here
29:25
Utah four point dogs at home. John Collins remains questionable in this one.
29:30
Ownership not really coming to this game too much. You got mcal Bridges looking
29:34
alright, Colin Sexton, Claxton, where are you going to this one?
29:38
Brooklyn, Utah? Yeah, this Utah team, man, they're they're frustrating.
29:42
They're pretty bad. But you get them on home, they are they
29:45
are up and pace type of type of team. I like two guys tonight,
29:48
really like two guys tonight for Brooklyn. My favorite Brooklyn players be cal
29:55
Bridges shooting uh uh, shooting forward, power forward, eligibility small for whatever
30:00
you want to call it, seventy seven hundred, really like mckel bridges,
30:04
and then power forward Cameron Johnson sixty two hundred dollars. Man, this this
30:11
Jazz team does not defend the three point line very well. Keegan Murray,
30:15
you know, absolutely lift him up last time out. Obviously Cam is probably
30:18
not going to repeat that and get seventy points again. But they're very bad
30:22
at guard of the three point line. It's now or never for Cam at
30:25
sixty two hundred. Those would be my favorite two nets. I think I
30:30
think those are great plays. And then on the other side. You know,
30:33
Colin Sexton has really heated up seven K point guard shooting guard eligibility.
30:38
Don't mind him, and then I won't. I won't get to Nick Claxton
30:42
or Walker Kessler, but both of them have have upside. I think it
30:47
was a couple of games ago that might have even been last game, but
30:51
Kessler had over forty five points. So give me some, Give me some,
30:55
mikel give me some Cam Johnson for these nets, and it may sprinkle
30:59
in, you know, a jazz piece to go along with that. But
31:02
I really like those two tonight. Yeah, for me, in this game,
31:06
it's it's Sexton and it's Cam Thomas. I like those two lots.
31:08
I see it in our chat Eddie Sex and Big Ball. And since he's
31:12
been in that starting lineup there gets a decent matchup here against Brooklyn. I
31:18
do like him, and then I like Cam Johnson compared to Bridges. Just
31:22
at the price discount, right, you get fifteen dollars savings. You can
31:26
play at the power forward position as well. He's been pretty brutal overall,
31:30
but pretty fair matchup here against Utah. So I like those two pieces a
31:33
lot. Outside of that, I don't have a ton of interest in this
31:37
spot. I mean you could play guys like mcal Bridges, Chris Dunn,
31:41
Claxton. I'll have decent, decent matchups. But again claxon another center.
31:45
He's been underwhelming that price point as of late as well, So pretty much
31:48
Sexton in Cam Thomas. My two uh are Cam Johnson? Excuse me?
31:55
My two favorites in that one. Jumping into the next game here, we
32:00
got Jokic on the slate at home right where we like to play Yoke projecting
32:06
to be pretty pretty low owned sub five percent. You got Luca on the
32:08
other side, right. Don't think he can fit a Luka Jokic build here
32:14
in this one. But two thirty nine is the total. Denver's favored by
32:17
seven here. Pretty good game overall in this one. Obviously got the two
32:22
studs there. Luca is questionable, Jamal Murray's questionable, Gordon's questionable, Rashn
32:28
Holmes is questionable, and then caseyp is also questionable in this one. Won't
32:31
have the news before a lot of these games lock right because it starts two
32:36
hours after the first game tips. But where you going in this one?
32:38
Denver in Dallas? Yeah, I can't wait for this game should be a
32:43
good one too. Of my favorite players to watch. And you know you've
32:45
said it all year long. I mean, and I don't have any data
32:49
to back it up, but yeah, Jokic just feels like he's so much
32:52
better at home in that thin air. Don't mind Jokic, but I actually
32:57
prefer Luca over jokictined and obviously positions or whatever the case may be. But
33:01
uh, with with with Kyrie out, I mean, Luca's usage goes up
33:06
tremendously. Derek Lively scheduled to miss tonight, so I think, you know,
33:12
Lucas gonna have to be on the boards a little bit more than he
33:15
normally would be. So give me Luca over Yoga tonight. I mean,
33:19
they're both walking triple doubles. I just like him, just based on who's
33:23
in who's out. But you can't fault you for going either way. I'm
33:28
seeing Rashaun Holmes is questionable but likely to play. He's He's stone men gonna
33:34
start tonight. Uh, I'm gonna split with gonna split with dwighte Pal I
33:39
believe, but I'll side with I'll side with Holmes assuming he plays. Obviously
33:45
at three K over dwighte Pal who's forty two hundred. Give me that,
33:51
Give me that savings on a on a three K guy, that's gonna start.
33:55
We think in a game that should be good, should be competitive,
33:59
I'm gonna go with my guys. I'm gonna go with the guy Rashaan Holmes,
34:00
but just make sure he's in there. So for me, it's only
34:04
gonna be Luca or and or Rashawan Holmes tonight in this game. You said
34:08
it, I don't. I don't think you could play Jokic and Doncha should
34:13
be cool if you could, but don't think you can. Both of them
34:15
are totally fine plays. What about any other nuggets for you? I don't.
34:19
I don't think I like any other nuggets. Just looking at him real
34:22
quickly, it would be Jamal, but I don't think I'll get there.
34:25
What about you? Yeah, I would say Jamal, But man, he's
34:30
still got a pretty minutes cap on him right, obviously coming off those ankles
34:35
in that hamstring there, So with a minutes cap, right, it seems
34:38
like he still has a minutes cap for minutes restriction on him. Played twenty
34:43
two minutes against Brooklyn, twenty nine minutes against Atlanta. I can't get there
34:47
at seventy two hundred. It's a tough click it is. It is an
34:51
okay spot. I think the Luka Jokic thing. I definitely prefer Jokic.
34:55
It's a much better matchup here. Obviously, Luca can be matchup proof.
35:00
Leave he went for thirty four to ten and eight last time he played Denver
35:01
with Kyrie next to him. But Aaron Gordon, if he's in there,
35:07
he should be able to at least try and slow him down a little bit.
35:09
Guy like KCP should be able to help slow him down a little bit.
35:13
You could look at a guy like Dante Exum, right, if Denver
35:15
kind of focuses in on Luca. Dante Exum has been increased usage big time.
35:21
He stepped up big since Kyrie's gone down. He is sixty six hundred,
35:24
which I don't love a ton. Tim Hardaway always as a peer shooter
35:29
can get hot. It's just really boom or bust for him, right if
35:31
he's not hitting his shots, you're kind of drawing stone dead with a guy
35:35
like Tim Hardaway. But I do expect Aaron Gordon KCP to kind of really
35:40
close in on Luca here Denver to win this game. I like Denver to
35:45
win this game here at home, and it's gonna be on the on the
35:49
back of Jokic for me. So it's Jokic. It's exom kind of is
35:52
the plays. I mean, Rashaun Holmes if he starts at three K allows
35:57
you to do a lot with your roster. It's still a very tough match.
36:00
I mean, Yoki should be able to eat Rashaun Holmes out for lunch
36:02
right, could run into follow trouble and things like that, but can never
36:06
go wrong with a three K starter in NBA getting minutes it allows you to
36:09
spend up at a lot of other positions. So those are my preferences in
36:15
this game. Two games left. Hold on, you don't know anything about
36:19
this. My boy Martin knows something about this. Maybe I don't know.
36:21
Got that new dad strength needs. Luca's been balling since he's been a dad,
36:24
So maybe uh, don't get thrown out, Luca stay in the game
36:28
tonight. Yeah, yeah, it's uh. I mean again, he's matchup
36:32
proof. It's just I'm I'm just banking on at the price point. I
36:36
like him beid way better. I like Joki better. I like some of
36:38
those. I like Trey Young a lot at ten k flat right, I
36:43
like Sgat ten to five. So for me, it's just I like the
36:45
other guards as spend ups over Luca here tonight. But again, you can't
36:50
go wrong with with a guy that has ninety point upside anytime he steps foot
36:52
on the court, and he did. He did go for almost a triple
36:55
double against the same Denver squad with Kyrie next to him last time they played,
37:00
so good, good good, uh good talking point. There two games
37:06
left here, first game Washington Sacramento nine pm standalone game in this one,
37:10
two forty eight massive massive total here Sacramento twelve point favorites. Obviously, this
37:16
is the largest total on the slate in this one. From an injury standpoint,
37:22
did want to call out Wizards are on a back to back, so
37:24
we could see potentially some people sit, but not really seeing many of those
37:29
guys questionable, but again it's the NBA. One of these guys could pop
37:32
up. Gallinari remains out for Washington. On the King side, Fox is
37:37
questionable with that shoulder injury. You got some bonus. You got Darren Fox
37:42
if he plays, you got Kuzma Malik Monk, where you're going in this
37:45
one? Obviously the biggest total on the slate. Again, another blow up
37:47
concerned with a massive spread, but big total, big spread, Late Night
37:52
Hammer, where You're going King's Wizards. Yeah, I did see that.
37:57
The Aaron was at morning shoot around and looks like he's on schedule to play.
38:00
Actually, I hope he does play, because my favorite play maybe on
38:07
the slate is is gonna be Sabonis. Really likes sabonus tonight ninety eight hundred.
38:12
This loaded center position. He should go overlooked. With all all the
38:15
action that we have. He's in a great spot tonight. The Washington cannot
38:22
defend the rim norint protection. He should clean up the glass. He should
38:27
get you know, twenty plus points. Really likes Sabonis tonight. So I'm
38:31
hoping Fox plays obviously to you know, Fox sits, obviously you got to
38:36
go somewhere. But uh, Malik Monk, you know he gets an uptick
38:39
when when Fox sits, just from a shot perspective. Uh so give me,
38:44
give me Sabonis, Uh, give me gimme Monk. If Fox sits,
38:47
I don't think Fox. I'm not gonna play Fox. But I don't
38:51
think he's the craziest play. I mean, he's got a great matchup too,
38:53
uh, going against this Washington team that that doesn't guard anybody but Sabonis.
39:00
This is far and away my favorite player in this game. And then
39:02
on the flip side, I mean, I think you can play Kuzma eighty
39:06
six hundreds to too much for me. I saw the chat Mitch and Dan
39:09
Gafford at six K. I don't think Gafford's the worst play. I just
39:15
I just I'm going I'm going elsewhere tonight at the center position. But I
39:20
do think Gafford does come in really nice at six G. I that's where
39:23
you wanted to go. Certainly, don't mind some Gafford who's had a pretty
39:28
good season in my opinion. So don't mind Gafford at all. Yeah,
39:31
No, I a little bit different than you. We got to talk about
39:37
Tyas Jones, right, coming off absolutely back to back nukes, right fifty
39:39
four and sixty one. His last two games went for sixty one against Phoenix
39:45
last night. I mean he played thirty nine minutes. I don't know did
39:50
that game go into overtime last night? I didn't watch NBA on a Sunday
39:53
with football on the TV. But he played thirty nine minutes. Okay,
40:00
yeah, so he got thirty nine minutes. I mean Tys Jones. I
40:04
don't know if you want to chase that, but I mean he's back to
40:07
back. He's just been very efficient from the field. I mean game against
40:10
Indy when he went for fifty four, he shot six for seven from the
40:13
field, one for two from three, picked up the triple double right,
40:15
ten rebounds, eleven assists, had eleven assists in both the last two games.
40:22
I mean, you have to think those assist numbers are going to come
40:24
back and check because before that, I mean he was getting three, four,
40:30
five assists before that. I don't know if I would chase that.
40:34
My favorite Washington piece is definitely Dan Gafford. I really like Gafford here a
40:37
lot at six k flat, especially since you can play Okanngwu if we get
40:42
that news at the power forward position, you could still play a guy like
40:45
Embiid and Gafford Okangua at his price point. Gafford and Embiid, I really
40:50
like those three. You could play those. Gafford checks out well for me.
40:53
He's looking pretty good for me. And then I'm team dearon Fox at
40:58
here over Sabonis. Obviously, Fox is questionable. If he plays I think
41:01
he absolutely nukes this Washington squad here. It's the best matchup for point guards
41:06
on the slate. Fox two hundred dollars cheaper than Sabonis. I'm team Fox
41:12
over over Sabonas for me, so Fox Gafford my two favorites in this one.
41:17
Well, you know the reason why Tyas Jones got that triple double.
41:21
You know what it is, right, Nate's your boy. Jordan Poole finally
41:24
decided to hit some shots by twelve shots that game. That's why he got
41:28
a triple double. Any love for your boy? Pool tonight going back home
41:30
to the West Coast? I know, not Golden State, but he's going
41:34
back home up to North California. Any love for Pool tonight? In uh
41:37
in Sacramento, a place he's played numerous times. I can't click seven thousand
41:43
dollars Pool party? No pool party for me, man. It's thirty thirty
41:47
four degrees twenty five excuse me degrees here in Wisconsin. I'm not going to
41:51
the pool anytime soon. Shirt's much warmer out in Sacramento, but still Jordan
41:54
Poole. Not not for me, man, I can't do that at seven
41:58
K much. Rather just play Tyas Jones for four hundred dollars cheaper, or
42:01
go up sixteen hundred dollars to a guy like Cokuzma. But again, favorite
42:06
Washington piece, Gafford, favorite Kings piece, dearon Fox. Both of them
42:09
should be pretty low owned on the slate and should be two decent late night
42:14
hammers overall. Last game on the slate Nicks and the Lakers late night hammer
42:19
here in this one from a total standpoint two thirty five to the total,
42:22
just a four point spread for LA. Obviously, as always, Davis and
42:29
Lebron come in with a questionable tag, but so does D'Angel Russell. Jared
42:32
Vanderbilt is also questionable, so a lot of questionable tags. We will not
42:36
have that news it is the standalone last game of the slate. Might get
42:40
that news before that Washington game, but man, it's kind of tough because
42:45
there's only one game, or there's only two games at eight PM, and
42:46
then there's an hour break before the next game, So you're looking at needing
42:52
an hour and a half to before this game tips off to get that news
42:54
before those a PM games tip off, so kind of hard break this down,
43:00
Lakers Knicks. Yeah this hopefully you know Jalen doesn't go for another eighty
43:07
five piece like he did the other night. I think on Friday night that
43:10
was when he dropped fifty real life points. I was an epic late third
43:15
and fourth quarter performance out of my man Jalen. But uh, I think
43:19
I actually think the Lakers win this game going away tonight, and I think
43:23
it all starts with Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis obviously. I mean it feels
43:29
like every game he and I and Lebron are questionable and then they always play.
43:31
But I don't know why they do that. But in any event,
43:35
I really like Anthony Davis Tonight. I really think the Lakers run this next
43:38
team out of the gym. Don't think it's closed, So I'm not gonna
43:43
have any Knicks very interested in, very interested in my guy Anthony Davis,
43:50
who's just been on an absolute heater over the last what two plus weeks.
43:57
As far as value goes in this game, I don't really see. I
44:00
mean, if d Loo sits, I mean backup point guard, I mean,
44:04
I don't know who would be I guess Austin Reeves, you know,
44:07
gets a bump. But at seven to three, that's a that's a tough
44:08
price to pay. It's uh, it's a D. It's uh yeah,
44:14
a D. No lebron for me. I mean, Julius Randall would be
44:15
my favorite on the flip side, former Laker Great himself, Julius Randall.
44:22
But give me a D and that's about it. I don't think I can
44:23
get to Julius Randall. Yeah, I really actually don't like this game too
44:28
much. Obviously, if if the news hits right, if d LOO misses,
44:31
he gives a big booster a guy like Austin Reeves, who I played
44:35
last time when when DLO was out, but cam Reddish was also out,
44:39
so cam Reddish five to one I think would become okay play if DLO misses.
44:45
But as it stands right now, again standalone game. I'm gonna just
44:49
kind of approach this slate like this game doesn't exist, and just hope these
44:52
guys play for me, not not really a ton of interest. And I
44:57
see our guy go collect in the chat. Yeah, I really don't know
45:00
who's gonna guard Yokic on this slate, And I'm seeing I'm seeing ownership.
45:07
Yeah, Rashaun Holmes is not getting in the way Yokic at home. I'll
45:09
tell you that right now. I definitely think triple DEEB was coming from him.
45:14
But let's give our Plays of the day a little thing that we're adding
45:17
here. Just give the people something handwhich I'll kick it over to you.
45:22
If you've got to play the day ready, who's your who's your go to
45:25
tonight on this eleven game NBA slate? Oh yeah, for me, it's
45:29
uh, it's it's rather easy. He'll be in my core over at Ship
45:32
at Nation. They're slated a score of one hundred and thirty points. He'll
45:36
have thirty five of those and twenty rebounds. Domatas Sabonis at the center position
45:42
ninety eight hundred, you can lock him in for sixty five plus tonight.
45:47
Tough. That's a tough way to start the Plays of the Day on this
45:51
Monday. I'll tell you that right now. Deeron Fox two hundred dollars cheaper
45:53
outscore the bonus easily in this game. But hey, that's why we come
45:58
with these shows. Don't have to agree on everything. I'm going to my
46:00
guy Jokic, I mean sub five percent. I think embiid is also a
46:05
great play, but Embid's gonna come with a little bit higher ownership. I
46:08
think he is questionable game time decision as well. I'm going Nikola Jokic here
46:14
at home against Dallas. He's gonna show out against Luca here at home.
46:17
Triple double on the way. I'm calling a seventy plus spot here for Jokic
46:23
at home against these Dallas Mavericks. That's gonna do it. For this edition
