  Speaker 1: All system's going clear. Left.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Merry Christmas, Eve, Marry early Christmas. Tall you feel the animals.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: If you don't celebrate Christmas, you celebrate something else. Help
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: you guys enjoy Oh wow, something in the throat already?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Anything you celebrate? New Year coming up? Hope everybody out there?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Oh hold on, give me one second. That protein bar. Real,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that's not a great start over here. So I hope
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: everybody Merry Christmas, Mary, happy whatever you celebrate, Happy New Year.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Hopefully I won't be choking on this protein bar the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: whole time. I'm with the NBA legend, but also the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: NFL legend. Twenty two thousand dollars. Richard is my man,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Hebrew Cheta, shout out to you. Throw it to you
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: right away. Big night in the NFL streets yesterday. Hey,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: we get NFL again tomorrow and the next day. But
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: we're here talking to NBA. How you doing today?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm doing good. I wasn't even gonna play NFL yesterday.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Looking at the slate, it was just one of those
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: games where it's just so gross and you're trying to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: choose between all these shitty receivers that probably shouldn't even
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: be in the NFL. But yeah, I ended up just
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: kind of entering at the end right there and definitely
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: helped after losing all my EMBID lineups that were you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: my signatory teams had embiid on there and looking pretty
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: good and bubbled the cash line and definitely would have
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: got in there if had finished the game. So definitely
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a nice little consolation prize. But yeah, I was just
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: kind of surprised that the payout. I talked to you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: about it. The payo was so such a big chop
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in the in the NFL Showdown streets with a one
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and a half percent on guy, So I definitely wish
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: that the pal was a little bit better, But I'm
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: not gonna complain about twenty two thousand or whatever it was.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I texted a little joke like it's time to
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: retire from Showdown. But I mean, you see that lineup
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and it's chopped that many times, Like how many masterminds
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: are there out there?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Come on?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: That shit is absolutely insane to me.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: But gotta say hi to everybody in Chad is always
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: go collect Shaun Sullivan, Anthony Wardo, Max Manning, Lachlann, Happy Holidays,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Merry Christmas, to all of you guys. I want to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: shout out Manning. He had thirty percent Jacob's and Brooks
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: yesterday combined. That was absolutely insane. I was surprised he
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: didn't get there. It was definitely close Rio's lineup, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: mister Mims took it over the NBA. Embiid, what a
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: full tweak man. I get the NBA saw off this
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and that, but you can't be acting like that. It's
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: like he didn't even want to play. He wanted to
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: get ejected after that. That was really really tilting. What
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: else I mean people were tilted defenses yesterday. I mean,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: when you play a JV team, what do you expect?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Defense are pretty good play. I don't know what else
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: is on my mind.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I'll say it was a bad night in the NBA
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: streets for all the ratings people. When you had Tatum
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: get ruled out, you know, thirty seconds before lock, and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: then Embiid getting ejected, and then Audrey Drmond getting ejected
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and then not adjective. But it was just a bad
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: look for for NBA last night, I would say.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: And then Gianni's turping the NBA. Why aren't they on
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Christmas Day?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I agree. I always want to see some jannas some
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: dame on there.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Rio said, yesterday you thought they may be sat Gianna said,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: out of spite, who knows. A couple of days off
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: always helps too, But we're talking NBA Christmas late. Always
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: asked light button, subscribe button does help us out a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: ton over here. Again, five games in the NBA Christmas Day,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Like always, they're staggered, so you get one after the
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: other after the other, which means lake Swap is most
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: definitely in play and always important. Two big spreads. We
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: have a nine point spread for the Nicks, ten for Boston.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Otherwise a couple close ones after that. All the totals
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: two twenty two and a half all the way to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: two thirty three and a half, so nothing really stands
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: out crazy there. Injuries. Tatum obviously he is on this late.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: He won thirty seconds before illness he got ruled out.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Then Jamal Murray also didn't play. That's the only things
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that I'm seeing, though. I assume these guys want to
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: play for Christmas Day if they can, so I'm gonna
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: expect and talk like everybody is in. Any thoughts on that,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: any thoughts on anything before we go game by game.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: No, I mean as far as the injury stuff goes,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I think you just kind of have to play it
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: as if they're gonna gonna play. I'm still dealing with
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the sickness. But in terms of the Christmas Day slate
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: as a whole, like obviously, like you said, it's a lot,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of light swapping stuff. You're
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: getting information from every game because they're two hours two
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and a half hours apart, and three hours apart if
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you know, the Philly and Boston game, the Lakers in
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Golden State one. So definitely light swapping is huge on
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: this slate. I would say, if you're gonna be worried,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: like you know, you're with your family and you don't
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: want to be sitting in front of the computer all night,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I'd get it. Probably just play it like one or
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: two teams or whatever and don't worry too much about it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I personally am probably gonna be maxing the big one,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and my family doesn't really do too much at Christmas anyway,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: so I'll be I'll be okay there. But yeah, I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: was looking back at the at the line star perfect
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: lineup last season for Christmas. It was two spend ups.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I think it was Luca and Anthony Davis, and then
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like a mix and match of mid tier and value plays.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: It was a little bit different last year's I think
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: who was it that was out for I think Embiid
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was out last year on this Christmas Day slate, so
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: we had everybody's playing. Paul Reid and then Melbomba ended
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: up getting there like three point three k and then Phoenix.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I believe we're dealing with some injuries as well. I don't.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I think Nurkic might have been out, and then Chimezi
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Metu had like a huge game, so I just something
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to keep in mind. I don't think we're gonna get
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: any big injuries like that. It seems like everybody's gonna play.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Unless Tatam gets ruled out then that changes things, or
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: if Embiid gets hit with some disciplinary stuff for the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: ejection yesterday, which I doubt they're gonna suspend him for tomorrow.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: But I guess general slate, I mean, the pricing is
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: very soft, so it makes it pretty easy to get
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: who you want. I'm probably gonna be looking at this
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: as like game stack, gamestack, my favorite games, and then
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: mix and matching some of those values from the other games.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I don't love uh. In terms of like the spend ups,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I think there's two pretty clear game stack games that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you could get to, maybe three if you wanted to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: count the Minnesota Dallas one, but definitely those those two
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: later games are the ones that I'm kind of eyeing
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: out right now. See, that's kind of I think that's
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: how I'm gonna be approaching it tonight. Just a five
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: games slate definitely makes it easier to game stack. But obviously,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: like Singletury, you could just play the best plays, but
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I think I'm just gonna be game stacking for the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: most part.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I do think
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: the Lake games probably do get the most ownership. Phoenix
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: looks like they have some solid pricing. I definitely like
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: your point on if you are going to be with
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: family all day, you don't want to be on your
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: computer all that. Totally get that. That's I will be.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I will be with family and stuff. I will be
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: on my computer all day. They know by now Christmas
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Day not only is their NBA, there's NFL. It's too
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: much money that you may not to be playing. Myself,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: content of course everything will be up. I wish they
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: had a better twenty five dollars or like making a
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: fifteen dollars with like fifty five thousand people twenty five
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: bucks twenty eight thousand people. Man, that was really tilting.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: What's FanDuel? Fandals is probably better, to be honest, have
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: you looked?
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I'm still not allowed to be on fanduels, so I
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: haven't been.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yet, Okay, I like what fandle did for sure. Five dollars,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: twenty five cents, sixty eight thousand people, one hundred k
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: to first obviously, like you take third place? Yeah, you're
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: probably getting pennies five bucks though to or five and
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: a quarter to have a chance at one hundred k
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: almost three x the contest size, like two point seven.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Probably that is definitely I'll be maxing on fando for sure.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Probably I'll throw some in that twenty five dollars button. Man,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be a lot of probably rags one fifty
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: max and I assume I'm not sure how many of
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: those computer bros have a life out there now.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I'm just playing.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: But it makes it tougher for the casual player to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: want to play in those tournaments like it's definitely, definitely
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: gonna be all the all the sharks in there, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I mean they've been running those satellites. But it's so
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: hard to get a meaningful amount of tickets for that,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Like I know we had. I know Triskett has forty
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: three or something like that, so that's that's a good amount.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: But like the casual player is probably not getting that
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: many plays that many tickets for it.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Shout out Triska, shout out Jordan in the ship de
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Tomizer chat always helping out. It's Merry Christmas, Richie Smalls,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: anyone else come in? Nope, looks like that is it?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: So I say we go game by game reel. We
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: started off again first game of the nights, and the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: first game does have a pretty big spread the New
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: York Knick nine point favorites over the San Antonio Spurs
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: two twenty four total. Again, that is the second biggest
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: spread on the slates. The other one is ten when
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: we get to Boston over Philly. Looking at this game again,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: well not we don't have our projections up, we don't
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: have ownership up. That will all be up. I assume
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: this afternoon with Locke tomorrow at what is it tomorrow
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: one Eastern Rio neon Eastern New Eastern. It messes me
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: up in this Wisconsin time zone from the Arizona time
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: zone and you're a different time zone.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Everything's messing me up.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: But New Eastern big spread is our big spread for
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: the Knicks. I don't think this game gets too much ownership,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: to be honest, you mentioned the Lake games. I think
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: that is where a lot of the ownership does go Wemby,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I mean on FanDuel especially. I you know, we're mainly
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: talking DraftKings. Anytime a dude has seven blocks with like
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: seven minutes left in the second quarter, always a phenomenal
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: fan duel. DraftKings doesn't mean as much if you want
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: to spend, though. I think he's solid. I prefer and
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I think the field will prefer Jokic for only one
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: k more. Jokic feels very underpriced there, and with us
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: not knowing about Jamal Murray, if Jamal's out, probably been
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: better there. And I doubt we know before it locks again.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna assume Murray and Tatum do play. That's just
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a guest. So I think these guys want to play
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: on Christmas Day if they can talk to me in
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: this game, though, I'm looking probably more so for mid
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: tier value wish in this game and spending up later.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Yeah, I think that's probably how
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna play it too. I wrote up all my
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: stuff without seeing any sort of ownership, but now I'm
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: seeing some ownership coming in for these games, and it's
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: definitely a lot more interesting now seeing Kat and wenb
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: be projected for single digit ownership. Obviously, you know, the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: center only position and having to compete with Jokis makes
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of sense because he's clearly the best best
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: fend of on the slate, but definitely makes it a
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: lot more interesting now seeing ownership being really low in
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: this game. I mean even on the secondary guys that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I think are pretty solid plays. Obviously, it's a I
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: think this is the widest spread outside of the Philly
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Boston game, so good chance for it's a blowout. I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: don't think that the Spurs are going to be pushing
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: their guys as much as these other teams if the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: game gets out of hand, like they're definitely type of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: team that will treat Wemby, you know, kind of with
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: kid gloves. They're not going to play him thirty eight
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: minutes a night, so by anything on the low end,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: like thirty two to thirty four from him is pretty solid.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean this probably isn't the best game
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: environment as a whole. Both these teams kind of middle
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: of the pack in terms of pace, pretty solid defensively,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: they do have their struggles. Each team does with their
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: their pick and roll defense. The on ball defense not
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: been great this season. Nicks a little bit more of
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: a three point three point final this season as well.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: So there is some upside on these Spurs. Guys start
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: with the guy with up top. I mean, obviously it's Wemby.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's matchup proof. I'm not too worried about
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: it anytime. Like you say, you get somebody that has
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the upside for double digit blocks, you should definitely have
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: some interest in him. I don't think the matchup versus
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Cat is really one that scares you off too much.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Like Kat's been a really solid roar protector of this season,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and the Knicks are playing really good team defense. I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: think there's a chance they put og on him as well.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: But just because he's kind of he's he's not down
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: with the pain as much. He's kind of more of
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a perimeter player now just taking a ton of threes.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: But the matchup's good for three point shooters, so I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: think Wenby is a totally fine option as a spend
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: up that's gonna be low owned. I think that if
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I'm playing Wemby, I definitely would want to consider a
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: game stack, like consider him with one of Socian Chris
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Paul Vassel and then like two of those other guys
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: that probably you're probably not getting a cat there, but
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: probably like two of heart Og and Bridges and and
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and Jalen Brunson something like that is probably what I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: would be considering if I'm playing Wemby. But if I'm
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: not playing Wemby, I could definitely get to these secondary guys.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Don't really love Sochi in here, just not sure the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: upside is really there for him just on a nightly basis.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: He's not shooting the ball at time. He does have
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the peripherals to kind of stand back on with which
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: will help him getting you know, close to double digit
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: rebounds a game, which is good. But yeah, he's not
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the not the type of guy that I like playing
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: against the NIXT teams. I want. I want guys that
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: have the ball in their hands. I want shooters, So
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Chris Paul and Devin Vessel are two of my favorite
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: plays in this game. I think that Chris Paul is
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a pretty exceptional GPP play at five point a K
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: with the Knicks being such a bad pick and roll defense.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: We've seen Chris Paul in the league for twenty years now,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: just killing people and pick and roll. Yes, I think
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the matchup is really good for him. Christmas Day Slate
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: probably gonna, you know, lean on the veterans to keep
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the game close. So he played thirty five minutes against
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Philly last night, so it's nice to see that the
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: minutes can get up there in close games. Uh so, Yeah,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I definitely like Chris Paul here as a as a
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: low and option at five point a K. And then
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Vassell I think is probably one of the best values
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: on the slate at his price tag four point nine K.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Starting playing thirty plus minutes, it's it's a lot easier
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: to play him now he's very score independent. But yes,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: it's easy to click on him at four point nine
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: K versus like you know, for five ks when you
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: were just asking for somebody to score. It's kind of
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: asking for a lot, but at four point nine K,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: totally fine. Yeah, these secondary pieces, I don't really see
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a need to get to them. Maybe, you know, I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: would probably be if you're keeping any of these secondary
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: guys in the pool. I think it's Max one Castle
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and Chris Paul. I think it's Max one of probably
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Max one, Champagnee Keilden and Harrison Barnes. And then I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: guess like guys like like Charles Bassey keeping your playerpool
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Max won him and Wemby like just in case there's
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: an injury or projection or something like that. You can
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: those things can pay off in a pretty big way.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Not not something you're getting like ten percent of it,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: maybe like two percent, and then the next side of things. Yeah,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I think Kat obviously an exceptional play ten point one
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: K averaging right around fifty three DK points per game. Now,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I think that he could kind of beat up on Wemby.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Definitely has the the weight advantage, and I would say
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the just the overall skills advantage. Yeah. I really have
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: nothing like negative to say about Kat. I think that
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: he's a great play if you can get to him.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: He's playing like a ten K plus player. Definitely earned
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the price tag. Probably not gonna get too much of him,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: because I don't know if we see those like seventy
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: pointers out of him that we probably wouldn't need at
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: this at this price tag. But I still think that
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: he's probably fine Brunson. I'm okay getting away from him.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I just don't he just doesn't really have the upside
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: that we've grown accustomed to see for him years prior.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I had a couple of fifties mixed in there. It
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: is a good matchup for on ball guys. But yeah,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm kind of undecided what to do
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: with him. I would okay, I'd be okay getting away
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: from him in ownership, probably prefer Tyres Maxie a little
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: bit more expensive, and I would imagine it's gonna be
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: lower owned. Yeah, so I won't we get to to Brunson,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and then I do agree with the ownership. I like
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: these secondary guys, from Miles McBride up to Josh Hart.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I think og is my favorite at five point eight k,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: shooting the ball a lot better again, playing a ton
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: of minutes, averaging thirty six minutes this month, hit forty
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: twice this month. McKale bridges I think is totally fine.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: He's playing close to forty minutes a night, and at
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: his price tag, that should be enough for him to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: pay off. Josh Hart's kind of interesting. I like playing
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: him against teams that struggle in transition. Spurs are slightly
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: blow average in transition, so I could see him getting
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: there and then mounts with Bride looking like a pretty
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: popular value play. Don't really have too much to say
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: there in terms of groups. It seems like like you
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: probably want to be Max two of McBride, paying Bridges
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and Brunson, and then yeah, I think I think it's
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: probably it max two of those of those four guys,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Max one, Cat and Precious. Same thing for Precious as
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: for Charles BASSI he would get all those center minutes
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: if Kat does get injured or anything like that. So yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of in agreement now that I break it
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: down a little bit with the ownership here. Don't love
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: this game, but I do think that you could get
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: into a game sack of this.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: One Bridges An andob Heart. I know it sounds like
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: annonob first, and I do think ownership goes there. Would
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: you go Bridges two, Heart three? Do you have a
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: preference there take the savings.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's how I would rink it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: And your Wenby overchallenge right for find the five hundred. Yeah,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I think so I'm with you. I mean, I I
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: want that upside if someone's gonna new like I'm miss
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: like people are gonna put off some big boys.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Scorers, no doubt about that. I don't really have too much.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I like your Brunson like under Way call, I mean ak,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I think that's a price that will fit a lot
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: of builds. And yeah, looking at the game like he
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: just really hasn't got there, like I'm looking at this
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: late like usually five X has always been the rule,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: like keep in my mind, like I want more than
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: five x, I think on the slate with how weak
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: pricing is and these Christmas Day games, like I do
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: look at a different national televised close game. These guys
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: will play an extra couple of minutes, the studs will
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: have the ball in their hands a little more, etcetera.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: They're gonna try and show out.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Like so I'll mention, Yeah, Wemby and MSG on Christmas
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Day is first one, like all that sounds pretty good
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: to me. So yeah, I'm in agreement a lot with you,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: but especially like the mid tier values, the Veclles of
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: the world and Abe's the mckel bridges, the Chris Paul.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I definitely like your CP three shout out precious the Tool.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I like his power forward eligibility on the stars and
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: scrubs Bill good point per minute guy, if Kat were
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: to get in like foul trouble against Wemby or something
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: like that. And I did like your shout on if
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: you are playing Wemby to go more game stack it
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: because you expect it to be close the whole way. Again,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: nine point spread, Like a nine point spread is kind
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: of a lot, but just say that it's a nine
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: point game of four minutes left. I still think every
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: single starter is in, so it's hard for me to
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: try and like predict too many blowouts in this one.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I will say this game is gonna get a little
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: more ownership by the look at it than the Philly
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Celtics game. I think that'll be the lowest own game
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: on the slate, and I do prefer this game to start.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Last thing I'll mention is late swapwise, if you play
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: more of this game or if you don't, but whatever
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: way you go, you jam it. You know where you're
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: sitting for sure. You have all flames your low one
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: pieces in the past. In the other games, you can
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: then change to some chalk a couple pieces bust. Well,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: then maybe you have to get a little different, but
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: maybe you're just playing for the min cash equity, et cetera.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: So always be looking at your lineups. And that's why
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I think you made a really good point in the beginning.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: If lake SWAP's tough for you, or if you're just
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: with your family, like you have to go to the
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: shitter a couple times there to go on your phone
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: and do it, do it with one or two lineups,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: not with ten twenty lineups.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I think that's a great way to approach it.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: But actually for nine point spread, I think this is
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: a pretty appealing game to start it off, and one
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: that I'll have a decent amount of anything else in
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: this one before we get to the next.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: No, I just want to kind of piggyback what you
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: said about players playing more minutes. These these knicks already
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: playing a ton of minutes if you I mean, it
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: is within the range of outcomes for guys like Josh
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Hart and mckel bridges to legit play the whole game.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: We've seen that from them before. Doubt they would want
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: to do that at this point of the season, But
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: we've seen Bridges play like forty six minutes. We've seen
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Heart play forty two like on a regular basis. So
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I think that you could possibly project these guys as
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: if they're seeing forty two to forty four minutes. Probably
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: forty two I'd say it was on the high end.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I just want to kind of piggyback off
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: what you said there.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was even more talking just like the
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: whole slate in general, like the NIXT we already know
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: get a lot of minutes, but yeah, I think you
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: can bump the starters minutes a little more. Last thing,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Douce McBride, let's just say he's what percent you think
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: you could be thirty percent something like that at his
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: three point a tag. Again, I don't have a good
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: gauge on ownership. I'm just looking relative to the slate
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: the first look there. If that was the case, I
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: wanted to say, like, as one of the more popular values,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on that, like overweight field under
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: as just like a scoring, shooting dependent guy that obviously
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: can snowflake or go off for that price.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Probably a guy I would look to get underweight on
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: because there are some decent values. It might not be
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: like a straight line pivot of a volume I'm looking
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: to get to, maybe more like a construction standpoint, but
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I think there are pivots to get to in the
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Philly game. And I mean probably not in the same
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: range as as McBride, So I probably agree that he's
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: a good value, like probably one of the best values
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: on the slate at his price tag. But yeah, like
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: you said, it's just a scoring dependent guy. Like we've
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: seen him a floor in the in the single digits
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and obviously upside in the upper thirties, but those are blowouts.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: And yeah, like Wardo said, they did, they do have
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a Lanza Shaman now he's he's used to playing for
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the Knicks, so he I think he was with them
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: in preseason. Definitely a guy that's gonna get minutes, so
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: we're probably not seeing those super high in minutes from
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: a guy like McBride. So probably somebody I'm looking to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: get underweight on.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I like it a lot. Let's move to the next
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: game on the slates again. That game was at noon Eastern.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: This game is at two thirty eastern. Lowest total on
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the slate two twenty one. A lot of these are
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: pretty close, though, with the mass five point favorites over
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the timber Wolves. I'll throw it to you right, and
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: this one the first thing that does stay not a bit.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Nas Reed left yesterday's game but then came back and man,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: his usage has been really, really good as of late.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Price tag looks oud. I like seeing power forward eligibility
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: four point four K. Wouldn't be surprised if he got
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: a little bit of ownership. Can you make a case
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: for a go Bear a Gafford? Again, center is absolutely
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: loaded on this late so again, looking at I think
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: double center very well could be pretty popular. Pivoting at
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: a popular center or pivoting from a popular center is
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: one thing I'm interested in. If you think one of
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: these guys do have some upside, but like the power
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: forward center eligible guys like the Precious, like the nas
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I'm more likely to play them in the power forward position.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: At first glance, take away this game thoughts on go
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Bear Gafford to start at the center position?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not a game. This is probably the game I'm
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the least excited about. I guess it would be the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: same thing as the last one, Like if you're playing
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: these fan ups like Luca and and probably looking at
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: a game stack, but I'm probably canna end up underweight
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: this game as a whole. Yeah, I do think that.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, go beart, Like I've said it a lot
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: in these shows, like, he's just not somebody you look
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to for ceiling. He can randomly get like that forty
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: point game, but that seems like the absolute ceiling for him,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and he's got to play close to forty minutes to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: get there because he's just not scoring. You're relying on
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: him to get a double double of rebounds because he's
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: not really getting a lot of blocks anymore. So Yeah,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: probably not some wady I'm looking to play too much.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I do think that Nas is a great player, though
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk within the Minnesota Timberwolves
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: you know, fandom, and even some of the beat writers
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: are saying that they need to start him, possibly for Gobert,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: possibly for Julius Randall. I think that a trade for
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Randall will probably make the most sense of free up
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: more time for Nas. But yeah, I mean, he's just
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: he's too good for them to keep off the court.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: He their offense has been terrible this month. Who's the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: guy that you need to kind of make things go?
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: It's definitely not. So I think that he's probably my
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: favorite value on the slate. Yeah, I think that he's
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: probably closing in on playing like thirty minutes a night,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: just taking away minutes from Julius Randall and Rudy Gobert.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm considering being max one of that group, but
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: definitely Max two of Randall, Gobert and nas Reed. Yeah.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, in terms of like the game environment, these
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: are two as bad as Minnesota has been offensively, their
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: defense has been really good this month. Both teams are
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: in like the top five defensive rating this month, really
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: good rim defenses, really good three point defenses. Maps a
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: little bit worse than the pick and roll stuff, But
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: all in all, this game kind of sets up as
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: a low scoring affair. I think the ant is kind
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: of unplayable right now, just with how bad he is
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: on offense. That obviously could could turn around in a
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: moment's instance. Definitely on a day like a Christmas Day
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: game where's probably gonna get close to forty minutes is.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Interesting, fine, and just got fined. I mean he might
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: have some motivation, but all these dudes want to do
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: something like he has a price take so keep it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. It's it's not cheap. Like I talked about yesterday,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the A points have a price price, I look cheap.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: But now it's looking like you need him in like
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the low eight k is to really play. It's just
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: not I mean even I don't even know what his
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: highest scoring Fantasy point game was the season. I think
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: it's like somewhere like fifty four to fifty eight. Like
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: that's just not It's just kind of like it's Levine
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: levels of of like floor, Like it's just hard to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: it's hard to play him. I say all this, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: he's probably gonna go off tomorrow. But like that's that's
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: just kind of where I'm at with this team right now.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: It's just they're they're broken on offense. It just seems
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: like there's a lot of turmoil on the inside as
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: well these teams. Like the kind of ants kind of
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: like not calling out his teammates publicly, Joyce Randalls kind
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: of like talking about the team publicly. It's just not
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: a good look.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: So I'm reis Randall's bonds. I don't care.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: That's not a dude I want on my squad, and
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I have never been a fan like he just powitz
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: puts his head down bullyball.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: He's not not h don't don't tell Wardo that near
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: the ear mouse again for him. But yeah, I think
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: that if I'm getting to the Minnesota guys, it's probably
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: just the cheapiest. Like I don't want to play Randald
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: seven K. He did put up a ceiling game last night.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I mean these are just empty stats like they lost again.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: He put up forty sixty K points. Yeah, I'm not
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: looking to play him, probably won't. I probably just won't
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: play much of like go bear up to Randall or
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: up to Edwards. I guess Conley is okay, but not
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: a guy you're looking to for ceiling. I mean, I
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: love NOAs. I think he's definitely the best player on
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: this in this game, and definitely on the Minnesota side.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: I think McDaniels makes some sense at four point two
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: K gonna play a ton of minutes. He's rebound on
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the ball a lot better and kind of Dann Drew
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Smith Towny killes that sucks. He's rebounding the ball really
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: well and shooting a little bit better as of LA two,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: So I think, I mean he's got he does have
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: like really really high ceiling for his price, sing shown it,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: you know, thirty seven to forty three points into of
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: his last five games, so he's he's got that upside.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Another guy with a really really low floor, but this
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: kind of profiles is the spot where they need a
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: lot of minutes from him. Dante a little bit of
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: a push and poll with with Mike Conley. Saw Max
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: one of those guys, but he's shooting the ball a
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: lot better as of late. Alexander Walker, him and McDaniels
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: kind of eating to each other. So i'd be Max
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: one of those two, but probably not playing Alexander Walker.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I think that this is a McDaniel's game. In the
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Maverick side, it's really just Luca and Kyrie for me.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, Lively does like he was really good in
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the playoffs last year against Colbert. Golbert kind of struggles
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: against these uber athletic bigs like Lively, the pick and
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: roll stuff. Luca just destroys Rudy Gobert and pick and roll,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: so I think that Lively does have a little bit
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: of upside in this matchup and no ownership. Definitely max
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: one of him and Gafford, but Lively's kind of seen
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: kind of separating from a minute standpoint, So I definitely
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: prefer Lively, Max one, Luca and Kyrie as well. I
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: just don't I don't like this game at all, so
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of exing it out.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I think that is one of the best players on
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: the slate, and I like your McDaniels shout a lot
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: like this feels like a game, Eve. Why would you
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: not match his minutes with Luca's minutes and he passes
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: them up and down the court and you can just
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: fall into points when you do that at the end
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: of the day. So I all, like I just shouted
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: on Julius Randall. I love Jayda McDaniels. He is not
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: the best DFS player, but he's a dude I'd always
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: love to have on my team for sure. I think
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Luca with all that being said, with the McDaniels stuff,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Luca at eleven point one K like talk about upside.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Like again, Jokic, I think is better in a vacuum.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: The reason to like Wenby is the ownership and out
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: of that upside. But I mean, why can't Luca go
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: out there and drop seventy on Christmas Day? You project
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: him for a couple more minutes, Like I think some
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: of these studs get the game is supposed to stay close.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think he gets too much ownership. At first glance,
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: he'd be my favorite play, and of course he's the
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: most expensive. But I don't like this game much either.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I definitely don't like the Dallas side much. Luca would
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: be the way to get the stud nas.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: JD.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: McDaniels. Is the value you mentioned the Lively.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a center pivot that's gonna definitely be
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: low owned, and we're talking upside in the last one,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: like seven eight games to forty spots. He gets forty
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: on this late at five to five, you're definitely gonna
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: want him. So I like that call a little bit too,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: And like I would the Gafford's thirteen hundred cheaper, I
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: wouldn't even be surprised if he was a little higher
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: own because of that. So very interesting, Lively take right there.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Mike Conley's never someone like Rostering. I'm always a Dante guy,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: but man, that game Wilex Ben gross too. Yeah, I don't.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I don't see too much. I think Nas McDaniels my
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: two favorite plays in this game. And with all that
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: being said, with Randall, he's still cheap. He is power forward.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Like I'm not excelling the dude out. I'm just not
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: a fan of his real life game, is what I'm
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: what I was trying to say.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Any final thoughts in this one.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I guess I just want to touch on
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Luca again really quickly because in the playoffs last year,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: he didn't play less than forty one minutes I think
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: maybe it's thirty nine in one of those games against Minnesota,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: and did it score less than sixty draftings points in
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: all of those games? Return from the injury last night
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: was you know, it was a blowouts? Who didn't he
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: wasn't needed for a ton of minutes. But he's he's
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: been good. On Christmas Day he played last year, he
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: almost had one hundred. That was against Phoenix where they
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: don't really have a lot of defenders to throw at him.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: But the year before put up sixty against the Lakers
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: was a remount and assist away from you know, almost
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: seventy points. So yeah, I think I think Luca. I mean,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: this is a really cheap tag for him from what
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: we're used to seeing, and he's kind of kind of back,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Like when he returned from that injury. Was it like
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: towards the end he got injured, like the middle of
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: November he returned, it was just like on fire. Put
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: three seventy DK point games, put him ninety four against
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Golden State. So yeah, I think that Luca, if the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: ownership holds there, he's a pretty strong pivot off of Jokic,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: him or.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Wemby obviously completely different positions all that, but who's going
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: to score more points tomorrow?
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Gunder your head, I think Luca is. I he hasn't
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: really had an issue, like he loves playing against Gobert.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean go Bert. Yeah, the most fake defensive
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: player of the year of all time. No that Wemby's
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: in the league, go Barry and win his shit anymore.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: But no, Yeah, I think Luca's definitely strong. I think
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: you go, Luca, I'll McDaniels or a nas and just
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: that's kind of all you go in this game. So again,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: your lively shouts definitely interesting. Centers so loaded he gets
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: forty though. I mean, that's that's good enough to be
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: on the winner in my opinion, So good stuff, Reo.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely curious what you have in the next game.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: It was not your least favorite on the slate, but
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: it is the biggest spread the Boston Celtics ten point
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: favorites over the seventy six ers.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Two twenty two and a half total.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Again, the Tatum thirty seconds before locked somehow got sick
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: and they just found out. I'm assuming he's going to
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: play today. We will or tomorrow we will see embiid
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: full tweaking. I assume the NBA they don't want to
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: suspend one of the biggest names in the NBA for
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: this one, so.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I assume he will be playing as well.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: If any of that does change, of course, projections ownership
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: will be updated. I guess before we get to that,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: that's a perfect segue. No better time to get over
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: for the full year. This is our best deal by far.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: PGA one hundred gets you one hundred dollars off your
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: annual package and takes you into next Super Bowl, not
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: this year super Bowl, next year Super Bowl. Shout out
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: to Djen and the team. I love his new piece
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: of stuff we talked about on the show a little
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: bit yesterday is new tool someone like me who plays
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: golf but doesn't know any of these golfers. It's all
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: really just names on the paper. I love being able.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: We have so much content, the courses, our course fit rankings,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: the shows, slate plan et cetera. But to be able
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: to when I'm debating a two v two or one
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: v one or something, to click on each golfer, to
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: have bullet points and notes, pros, cons of them, how
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: they fit, courses, et cetera. Such a cool new thing
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: that we have over here. Best golf team by far.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Projections ownership shout out to the golf team. But PGA
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: one hundred gets you an annual package. So it does
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: include NBA, NFL, NHL, NBA, I've already said MMA, all
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: the sports we have over here.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: It does include if you.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Just want to try us out for the month, B
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: f fifty gets you fifty percent off your first month.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Also include ship Tomizer if you want to add that
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: as well. No better does, no better, Segway, easy job
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: right there again. Ownership projections for MBA the Stone, everything
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: will be up later. Tonight's ten point favorites are the
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Celtics rio Let's talk, assuming Tatum and am plays take
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: it away.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah this is yeah, I kind of tip my hat,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: but this is definitely the game I'm the least excited about.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I would just say up the top, it's the same thing, Like,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: you don't have to game stack this one if you're
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: playing the Studs. I think on the Sixers side, you
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: probably do if you're playing Mbat or MAXI, because I
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: don't think that those guys are getting there. Like, I
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: don't think that the Sixers are like outright blowing out
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the Celtics. I think that if the game is close,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: you're probably you know, they're taking some Celtics along with them.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: But I think that the most likely gamescrip here, the
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Celtics blow out the Sixers. I mean they can keep
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: it close. Like the Sixers they're not They're not terrible
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: when you add and be back into the mix, so
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: they could keep the game close. I would just not
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: be hoping for like a low scoring affair like one
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: hundred five hundred eight point game or something like that.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: But yeah, matchup wise, Sixers are still struggling defensively at
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the rim. Celtics are getting a lot better there. There
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: had their issues earlier this season with their room protection
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: both Chris stops back down low, they've gotten a lot better.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Sixers are taking away easy three pointers, so it's a
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: good matchup for them because the Celtics obviously the going
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: to take a ton of reason. You just got to
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: limit how many they're actually making. But the Sixers transition
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: defense has not been good either. Celtics pick and roll
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: defense not that good. So there's a couple couple like
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: spots that stand out here from both sides. I'll just
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: start with mbeat up top still too cheap nine point
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: five K. I think he's pretty much back to full health,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: like we his so his rotations last year, he would
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: normally see a full first and third quarter stint. Two
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: games ago when he played Charlotte, he only saw six
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: minutes in the first and then last night he got
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: up to ten minutes, So it tells me he's pretty
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: close to fully healthyest I would expect him to get
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: back to that full first quarter rotation again here, which
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: means probably getting that would be about thirty five thirty
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: six minutes, depending on where he checks in on the
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: second quarter, So yeah, he looks like he's just way
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: too cheap. Obviously, the matchup is a lot tougher going
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: up against christophs Pors. He's done a really good job
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: defending centers this season since returning to the lineup. Al
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Horford's done a good job against Embiid in his career,
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: so definitely tough spot for Embiid. But we know he
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: can get to the free throw line fifteen to twenty times,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: so I don't mind it. Like I said, I probably
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: want to pair Embiid with one of the main Celtics guys.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: It's pretty easy to do too. You can pare him
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: with Jaylen Brown, doesn't cost you too much money or
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: any of the guards, and it would look pretty good.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Embiid just too cheap, like him a lot.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I think the matchup is actually really good for Tyre's
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Maxi eight point four K filled in a big way
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: last night after Embiid got ejected put up a He
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: should be close to forty minutes in this game. Here.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: The pick and roll defense for the Celtics really bad
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: this season bottom three pick and roll defense. Obviously, the
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: matchup on paper looks tough against Drew Holliday and Derrick White,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: but Maxi is one of the better pick and roll
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: scorers this season, so I like his upside here at
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: eight point four k a pivot off of Jalen Bronson
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: for four dred dollars more. I'm not playing Paul George
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: r now. He's just got like historically low usage rate
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: right now. With Embiid and Maxie Courd, you can't play
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: him at a point one k Uber is a little
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: bit too expense so still taking a ton of shots.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: So the range for him is like they're still upside there.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: If Drummond were to miss, probably seeing Yabuo taken those
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: backup center minutes. Maybe Bona. I'm not sure if he's
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: in with the team right now, but I would imagine
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the rotation just shrinks a little bit with no Drummond
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: probably the only see I don't think that they would
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: play them alongside of each other, Yabu and Embiid. I
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: think that he's probably just taken up those backup you know,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: fourteen to twelve minutes, whatever it may be. But another thing,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: the another decently big piece of injury news is kJ Martin.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: He's been starting as of late and playing a lot
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: of minutes, and Caleb Martin returned two games ago from injury,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: played twenty nine and twenty seven minutes. I think that
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: he would be a very very good value if kJ
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Martin wore to miss. I kind of like him regardless.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think the projections are gonna really back up
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: my life for him, but yeah, three point eight K
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: is really cheap for somebody that was, you know, low
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: to mid five k's earlier this season and gonna probably
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes here because they need his defense. So I
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: think that the kJ Martin news is semi big, but
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I still think they're probably gonna be shifting a lot
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: of those minutes to Kayleb Martin soon anyways, returning from injury,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: and then on Celtics side, Yeah, say what you will
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: about Tatum. Obviously the him gave ruled out before Locke suck,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: but he's making a case for an MVP like season
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: right now just playing really good. Definitely deserves some recognition.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: As far as the matchup goes, There's not really a
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: ton of guys that can throw at him. This is
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: kind of where I think Kayleb Martin comes into places.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: I think they'll they'll use him a lot. On Tatum,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: but I mean, regardless, like he's still still got a
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: huge advantage and he's you know, all the numbers kind
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: of suggest that he's a guy that can flare with
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: a triple double. On Niley basis, twelve percent rebounding rate,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: leads a team in usage and assist percentage, so we
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: know he's gonna put up points. The assistant remind numbers
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: will look pretty good as well. So I think Tatum
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: is a totally fine spin up option at two K
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: for cheaper, though you're getting Jillen Brown, who is you know,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: right behind Tatum and usage a good matchup and gets
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: a struggling transition defense and the Sixers starting to get
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: his confidence back not shooting the ball well from beyond
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: the yarc. But like I said, the Sixers rim defense
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: is really not that good, and Glen Brown is going
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: to look to attack the rim every time he's on
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: the court. So I think that he's a totally fine
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: mitsier option, looking like he's not getting a lot of ownership.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Christops Porzingis, I think the Ranger rocks for him is
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: pretty wide. Obviously, depending EMBIID could lead to some foul trouble.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, we did see Wemby just spike
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: for eight blocks last night against the Sixers, so he
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: does have some website in that regard. I probably just
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: look to take an underweight stance or maybe around the
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: field on Chris Tops because I just don't I just
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: think that the foul risk is way too big against EMBID.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: I don't really like playing centers against EMBIID and then
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: these guards, I'll probably end up being Max one of
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Derek White, Pritchard and Holiday. Definitely prefer Holiday a four
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: pin ak. It's just a floor attack for him. Probably
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: going to be playing thirty two plus minutes for the
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: defense against Harvey's backse This is probably be a spot
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: where they go away from Pritchard and more into Derek
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: White and Drew Holliday a little bit more here. So
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I think Holiday is a very solid value play al
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Horford backup center Max won him and and Christops in
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: case he gets an feral trouble, injury or anything like that,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Horford would play a ton of minutes. So that's kind
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: of I'm looking at this one.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Not a great game, No, definitely not a great game.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Look at this talk about a great picture.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: There we go, chriss.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Man, he definitely likes some UFC shoutout. Chris STAPs Man.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I don't love him, EMBIID. I like Jalen Brown, I
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: like Tatum. Drew's fine, Like I'm big real life Drew,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: And I do think this is one of the spots,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: like when you do can you when you can pencil
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: in a couple more minutes on a big time game
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: like that for the starters. That price is so cheap,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: so I'm good with it, But like, how often does
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: he get forty? He doesn't need forty, So I'm fine
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: with Drew. I think one of Tatum Brown definitely have
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: a good game. Center's really good on this late EMBIID.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's just because of yesterday. I
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: feels like anytime like I've played him, he's just He's
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: just a bitch at the end of the day. But
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: I like maxymore. Center's loaded to like give me the
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: I want to find one k for ad. I want
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: to go Wemby, I want to go Jokich. The Lively
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: take was pretty interesting that you had too. Yeah, I
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: mean your thought, like if he does play, he's definitely rested.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: He plays all first quarter, all third quarter. He pencil
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: in five to six minutes. That is thirty five minutes
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: for sure. I still want fifty five points, maybe sixty points,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: like he obviously has the upside, but I like all
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Like there's so many studs on the side. I like Luca,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: like Wemby, Tatum, Brown, Aby, Yokich, et cetera. If I
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: had to say one that I didn't like too much,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: it's emped for me. I really don't like this game much.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: I think it's drue. What are your thoughts on Derek White?
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Did I miss it? I just kind of glossed over him.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I just think that he's a little bit too expensive
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: right now if the team is fully healthy. That's just
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: kind of that's my file. I just I just don't
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: think that we're like I think that at six point
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: a k, we're going to need him to really do something.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Like if he got you forty, would you be happy
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: with that?
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: I'd they sign out for forty because I don't think
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: he's going to be that owned, and that could be
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: like a more mid tier build stuff too.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: I would sign up for forty, but I don't.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: I don't love this game much, so I think how
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna approach it is like I probably will play
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: a Celtic in a decent amount of lineups because I
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: do think one of these guys knuke, whether it's Brown,
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Tatum true as a cheap tag. I think White probably
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: gets overlooked a bit. But I won't have really much
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: seventy six ers. I think Maxi's fine. Like you said,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: I don't like him bead much and the Caleb Martin
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: shout very interesting. If kJ Martin's in, you still are
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: good with Kayleb Martin or.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: I think so, Like there was a there was a
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: note earlier this season. I think it might have been
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: like a week or two into the season where Nick
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Nurse basically said, like he wasn't starting and everybody I
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: think he was like really popular to start the season
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: at like five K and Nick Nurse basically said, like
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: he we still view him as a starter even if
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: he's not starting, Like I think that's like he is
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: pretty pretty important in terms of like the team's success.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Might not see him that way just because like it's
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Kilb Martin, but he I mean, he's a really he's
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: a big contributor sa him with the heat, he was
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: huge in that playoff run, Like I think that he's
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: pretty big to this team success. Like I don't. I
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: just don't think that Kju Martin is really like, he's
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: not that dude like need you need defense, and you
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: need some scoring, you need some off ball scoring. I
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: think that kil Morton definitely provides that. This just seems
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: like a matchup where I could really see him getting
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I could see him getting like thirty two thirty four minutes.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: I would not be surprised.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: And people must to forget forgot about the Martin brothers
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: back in Nevada. Those dudes definitely can hoop, for sure.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: So I like Martin for sure at pretty much no ownership.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: I like it.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: That's really all I got in that one. Definitely my
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: least favorite, but mainly because the Philly side. I do
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: think one of those Boston guys get there more than likely.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Let's keep it rolling. Two games left on the slates.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Close the spread, Warriors three and a half point favorites
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: over the Lakers two twenty five total. Looking at this one,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: a couple of prices that stand out to me. I said,
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: spend one game more from him b to ad it's
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: actually only eight hundred. Yeah, I want to find that
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: eight hundred, no doubt about that. I want guys that
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: could put up seventy seventy five plus. Of course, any
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: of these studs really can. I think ad yok wembys
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: of the world have a better chance tomorrow, So definitely
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: give me some ad. I'll let you talk about Lebron
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: on Christmas Day. I mean, no doubt is he under
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: price at nine to three. I always am a guy
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: that prefers a d but Christmas Day adds a lot
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: more dynamics, and there's no doubt Lebron wants to show off.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Then Breeze price looks solid. Curry below nine k interesting
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: at a point guard position. Always love me some trace
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: Jackson Davis. I'm hoping you can tell me that's a
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: pivot center at low ownership. I do think probably people
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: spend up for the most part. I'm always a rooie guy.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: This game looks pretty pretty interesting to me. Talk to
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: me real.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. First, so I have a funny story about RUI
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: because I don't know if you saw once to the
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Lakers game. Was it two weeks ago?
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Yep?
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: You got to stay court side, got gifted some tickets
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: by a friend, and I'm pretty sure he hates me. Now,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't really say anything mean to him, but he
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: was sitting in the corner, got the ball in the wing,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: and I just I'm a basketball guy, so I was
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: just I said pull it, and he he he holds
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: it for a second and then shoots and just clinks
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: it and then kind of turned around and like gave
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: me a dirty look.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: So that was he made his shoot in and he
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: thought about it and he bricked it come off real.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: He ended up going off that game, and I think
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: that he he kind of like looked over a couple
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: of times and like I wasn't even talking shit to
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: him at all. I was just I wasn't rooting for
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: either the team. I had a bunch of showdown line,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: so I was just clapping for my guys.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: But that was a really good story. I like that.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: That was pretty funny. It's it's crazy seeing those guys
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: up that close, like you realize how like, first of all,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: how talented and skilled they are and just like athletic,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: but I mean, these guys are fucking huge. Delano man,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: that guy is massive.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Just long, longest allper long.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: He's got just the shortest Torso and the longest limbs.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: But yeah, and in terms of this game, yeah, I
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: hope that the ownership I'm seeing right now is holding
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: because I think that this is like easily the second
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: best game on the slate we've seen these Lakers in
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Golden State games, Like the matchup stuff doesn't really matter,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: like any like the macro like pick and roll, three
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: point defense, whatever you want to call it, Like that
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: stuff doesn't really matter when these teams face off because
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: there's just like a little like these teams kind of
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: play a little bit harder against each other, like there's
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: no stats to back it up, Like anytime Draymond and
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Stafford going up against Lebron and Nancy Davis, like they're
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: gonna play more minutes, they're gonna play harder, They're gonna
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: want to beat each other. I mean, you can even
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: look a look back at the game logs from last year,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: we saw all these guys playing a lot better. I
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: still got to mention the matchup stuff because I am
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: a matchup guy. But both these teams are really struggling
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: offensively this month, in the bottom five offensive rating in
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: the month of December. I think they'll turn around eventually.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: The Definitely, the Warriors are playing well below their talent level.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: I think adding Schroeder to the mix is gonna help
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: out a lot. You get another true point guard on
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: the court with Steph Curry to kind of it. That's
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: what they tried to do with Chris Paul last year.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: And Jordan Pool prior. Eh I like that those two backcourt.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a little different with Pool because Pool is like,
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: he's a scorer and Steph is a scorer. So I
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: think they just want to it seems like they want
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to get like a point guard alongside stuff to play
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: him off ball a little bit more. Just that's just
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: the offense that they run. It's a lot of screens,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of moving. You need a guy that can
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: pass like Draymond and Dennis Shortis. I think that the
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: trade made a lot of sense, and I think it'll
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: work out in the long run. But yeah, it's it's
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: a it's struggle. It's a struggle right now for both
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: teams not looking good offensively. Lakers have been bad defensively
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: all season long. Their transition defense is terrible as well
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: as their just their on ball defense against guards, so
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: and the Warriors are top seven transition offense this season,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: so good spot for these Warriors to put up a
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: big score. Wearers don't really have a ton of issues
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: on defense. They've been pretty solid all around, so nothing
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: too crazy. That's kind of getting me onto the Studs
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: because I just think that they're gonna take over. Like
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I love a d and Lebron here in this ad
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: has you know, this is a tough matchup against the
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: trio of Tray Jackson, Davis, Cavon Looney, Dreymond Green. Got
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: to be from defending him. But I think the the
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: two worst off paper, like two of the worst off
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: paper matchups in the league this season have been against
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Memphis and Sacramento in terms of Sanders, and he put
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: up almost seventy against those guys. So I definitely think
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: that he can do that tonight or tomorrow. And he's
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: gonna play a ton of minutes he put up last year.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: He played three games, one of the game that he
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: left early due to injury, but fifty eight point three
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: and fifty three and a half DK points. The usage
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: has been really good for him this season, kind of
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: turning things around. Had a couple, you know, stretch up
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: games where he wasn't doing too well, But yeah, I
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: think Ady is an exceptional play. I definitely prefer him
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: over Cat. They're they're kind of same play to me,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: But I guess Kat maybe Cat because he's going to
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: be a fraction of the ownership. But I like the
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: game environment a lot more for for Anthony Davis.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: Throw oneby in there too, one be over Ad. Then
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: if you said Cat over a d possibly.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: I guess just for the ownership because AD probably comes
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: in closest twenty percent, and if those guys are actually
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: gonna be three to five percent, Like, I don't think
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: that there is a seventy five percent chance that Anthony
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Davis is out scoring those guys. I don't even know
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: if that was right, but.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: We know what you're saying.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever, it was twenty twenty to five, that's seventy
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: five percent, Okay, cool, right, I hope although even sound
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: like more of a donkey, that's yeah. That's why I'm
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: getting better at math because the poker table. But sometimes
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: I literally take longer because I'm trying to do the math.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: So not the best over here.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't any exactly got the calculators on the
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: phones and everything. Via lebron he's been great since that
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: little personal absence. I think that he had to go
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: get some injected with some stuff to make him, you know,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: youthful again. But I mean he's been he's been really
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: good lately. The last two games, put up twenty nine
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: plus real points, had a triple double or twenty eight
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: real points, had a triple double game against Detroit last night. Yeah,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: I think that he likes playing against the Warriors, possible
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: destination for him to hear in some chatter about him
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: get traded there. But he's been great on Christmas Day too,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: averaging I mean he's played a ton of games, but
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: averaging over fifty DK points on Christmas Day. Yeah, I
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot to say. I think he's just
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: he's under priced, and honestly, I think he's under owned,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: like if he's going to be fifteen to sixty percent owned,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: like he's a much better player than Kevin Durant and
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: my eyes for half the ownership. So yeah, I like
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Anthony Davis and lebron A Ton here. I'm not really
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: getting the Reeves love. Maybe it's just a price thing.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: He's playing a lot of minutes. But did have a
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: couple of good games after coming from coming back from injury.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: I just see this being a game where it's all
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: Lebron and Ad and I don't really want to get
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: to the secondary guys. I don't think that they're doing
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: enough for me. Maybe Ruey does the last band and
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: a five point four K Max Christy, no, thank you, Hey.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I like the guys up top a lot for La.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: On the Warriors side, They're still gonna run out of
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: dep rotation, but I love the spot for Steph. I
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: think the adding Schroder into the mix is gonna help
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: him a lot on offense. Guards have been killing the
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Lakers all season long, So yeah, I think that Steff
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: is a really good play at eight point nine K.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: I think he's got a ton of upside here. Same
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: thing for Draymond, and he's expensive, but yeah, he gets
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: up for these games. Last year, he averaged forty one
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: DK points per game against the Lakers in four meetings,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: So he's got playing upside for this tag and nobody's
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: gonna play him. Don't really like Wiggins. I prefer to
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: get to Draymond Kaminia now that I'm seeing he's gonna
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: be low owned. I think it's interesting because it's a
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: good matchup for guys that score out in transition. Yes,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: I definitely like Wiggans. He had a couple of down games,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: shifted back to the bench, but played thirty minutes against
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Indy last night put up forty four DK points. And
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: then I think TJ D and Dennis Schroeder both pretty
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: solid plays. Don't think that Schroder is gonna do too much.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Just you see, when these guys, you know, get traded
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: to a team with a player like Steph like Lebron,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: they kind of make a backseat for a while. I
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: think that that's what we're gonna see for Schroeder here.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: And then Tray Jackson Davis. He's been playing really good lately,
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: shooting the ball really well. Yeah, I think that he's
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: a very if he's if the son ship holds too,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: I think that he's a great play. And I would
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: be maxwe Loony and tras Jackson Davis in case Jackson
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Davis gets into felt trouble.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Great breakdown. Yeah, it is obviously we're gonna get to
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: this next game. There's no Devin Bookers, so that's why
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: KD some of those Phoenix guys are popping at nine
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: K but I'm with you, Like, give me Bron in
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: this game nine point three k if he is a
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: lot lower on for sure over him. I like the
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: Tray Jackson Davis, I like Ruey. The Schroeder stuff makes
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: a lot of sense.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: Like I don't.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been it's been gross from for sure since
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: getting over here, So don't love that loony. Yeah, I
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: would definitely max one, and I doubt I really get
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: too much loony. But if he does get into foul trouble,
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: which definitely can happen against a good ad, like, that's
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: a two percent on slate breaker right there. Maybe better
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: for the nights late, there's a solid tude nights late
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: as well. But yeah, I think it's eight. I think
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: it's Bron Curry, Ruey, Trace, Jackson Davis. Did you mention Wiggins?
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: He was the other one I had a little interest in.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: Usage has been really solid for the price the past
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: couple games, and again another guy that's I always think
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: if you add a couple more minutes to him, he
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: could be seeing thirty six thirty seven tomorrow.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: I'm totally good with that. Any thoughts there, Yeah, not really.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: He kind of is just like a like a last
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: band in type of play, I guess the same thing,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: like why like Comina, you couldn't apply to Wiggins with
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: the Lakers being such a bad transition defense. But yeah Chulkin.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Sixteen eleven, eleven, twenty, twenty three, twenty one, twenty six,
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: twenty percent usage, twenty six, twenty seven.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: I like Wiggins.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna say that small four power forward eligibility.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's like if you're if he's not getting
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: you twenty plus points though he doesn't do enough of
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: the other things that matter, so it's kind of kind
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: of tough.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense if they try and take away steph.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: I like this game a lot. This is definitely I did.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: The San Antonio Knicks game is definitely one. I'm looking
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: at game stack. This game looks like a very solid
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: excuse me gaming, Oh gosh, I couldn't hit you that
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: that ProTeam mar is killing me over here. Man, this
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: game in this in the San Antonio Knicks game looks
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: like my favorite for game stack, and this last game
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: is will be the most popular without Booker. But it
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: looks like you can poke some holes in some of
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: the stuff too. Man, Let me wipe my eyes. It's
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: been it's been a tough one over here. Let's go
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: to the last game. Though it's been a tough one.

  Speaker 2: get in the discord two. With so many of these
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: fine fellas in the YouTube chat today. Last game of
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: the night. This game is at ten thirty Eastern.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Man. If I would I probably wouldn't have went.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say it's in Phoenix if I was home,
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: but I still probably would not have gone. Still have
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: not gone to a game this year, but I got
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: to one last year. Nuggets Suns three point favorites are
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets two thirty three and a half total, which
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: is the biggest on the slate. No Devin Booker for
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: the Suns, and that is why I do think KD Tias, Jones,
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Roy so O'Neill, Bradley Beal, maybe a little bit get
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: some ownership that you look at the Nuggets side. I
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: don't think Jokic ever should be priced below twelve K.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: That looks way too cheap to me. Jamal Murray, again,
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: that is a very important thing. It's the last game
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: of the night. I'm assuming he's gonna be real questionable.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: I hope we get coach speak. I'm gonna play it
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: like he's in because it's Christmas Day and I just
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: think all the studs want.
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: To be in.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: But who knows likes he's missed the past couple of
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: games he missed yesterday for sure. How many games does
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: he missed in a row? Rio, I think he was
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: just that one, just that one. Yeah, so I'm gonna
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: expect like he plays and seven point four k if
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: people are scared to play him as well, maybe I'll
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: lean into that. If I feel good that he plays
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: and it's the last game of the night, hoping he
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: is questionable, that's something I actually might be really interested in.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: Start with there and then take it away.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I definite agree with you. I think that this
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: is hands down the best game on the slate. Ownership
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: is gonna follow. I mean, I think there's a good
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: chance that it's really tough to predict ownership on a
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: like this where every game is spread out like some
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: like we said, not everybody has the luxury of sitting
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: by the computer all night and waiting for news or
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: just like updating their lineup. So I don't know if
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: ownership does hold here, if it does a little bit tougher,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: because I mean, every like, we've seen a lot of
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: guys thirty plus ownership here in this game. But I
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: think it could come down a bit. But yeah, I
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: definitely have the most interest in this one. This seems
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: just played, so they'll be very familiar with each other.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it starts, and it definitely starts
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: with the yogich. I think he's hands down the best,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: probably the best play on the entire slate. You're not
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: worried about the matchmak It's Nurkic and Miles Plumbley should
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: be well arrested. Only played thirty minutes last game, so yeah,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: I don't have anything to say. He's averaging sixty seven
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: point six DK points per game MVP front Runner. Definitely
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: the best playing of slate, a guy I'm probably gonna
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: be jamming in my single entry lineups. I do agree
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: with you though on Jamal Murray, he is I would
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: expect to play. He's been playing a lot of minutes only.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: I think that they just might have just been a
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: a situation where like a planned rest situation. Played forty
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: one against New Orleans the other night played thirty eight
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: and thirty eight against Portland Sacramento, So it could have
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: just been a situation. They're trying to rest him, but
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: he's Yeah, if people are scared off him, I agree
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: with you. I think he's a great play, like to
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: attack the suns with guards have been the thing for
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: the past couple of years. They're terrible against pick and
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: roll guys. Think your bottom three in the league against
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: pick and roll scorers. He's playing a ton of shots lately,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: putting up a ton of shots and scoring the ball
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: really well. Twenty plus points in fourth three games. Does
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit with the peripherals. I think that Jamal
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: Murray is a really good play here. I think that
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: you could still play Russell Westbrook if Jamal is in.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: I think that the push and pull is a little
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: bit on Michael Port Junior. We saw MPJ get benched
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: against New Orleans in that second half. For Russell Westbrook,
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of speculation about him getting traded to
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: So I think that you could definitely play both Russell
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: Westbrook and MPJ. But I would be Max one of
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: those guys do. I do think the Russ just he
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: does enough on defense. Oh Zion's coming back, so he
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: does enough on defense where he could still play like
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: thirty thirty plus minutes. He's played thirty plus in three
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: out of his last four games, and he's got a
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: ton of upside. Nobody's gonna be playing him, so I
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: do like Russ here a good bit and the secondary
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: pieces all fine. MPJ, Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun. Nothing about
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: them really stands out from matchup perspective. Christian Bond is
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: five K and playing a ton of minutes, so he's fine.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: And the air Gordon could you know he has the
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: games where he could just randomly pop off for thirty
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: five points or whatever it is. Seems like that's probably
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: the ceiling for him. But good price. SiGe on the
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Phoenix side of things, Yeah, Kevin Durant. Obviously, all these
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: guys are gonna see an increased usage with no Devin Booker.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Kevin Durant has been very solid for a point per
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: minute perspective, averaging one point four to DK punts minute
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: with a plus seven percent usage rate, So the price
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: is very fair for him. Sixty DK points in two
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: of his last three games. I do prefer Lebron for
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: a little bit more expensive, but I have nothing negative
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: saying about KD. Matchup is nothing you're too scared about. Yeah,
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: I think he's a really really solid play makes a
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: ton of sense in game stacks. Bradley Beal has been
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: pretty good lately. He's just fine, though, He's like a
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: round one Fantasy point per minute. Without Booker, this season
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: does see a little bit of a usage spike, but
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: nothing too crazy. The guy that I am interested in
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: is use their kitsch because he does have a His
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: range of outcomes is really wide. He only played fifteen
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: minutes against Denver last night, but anytime one of these guys,
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: these main guys, misses, you see his playmaking uptick in
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: a pretty big way. Six assists two games ago, for
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: assist last game in just fifteen minutes, looked like he
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: was I mean, that's like almost gonna be slave breaking numbers.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: If he ended up finishing out that game, probably would
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: have gotten double double or finished with forty plus DK points.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Just know that the range for him is really low.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: He can easily get benched if he's getting cooked out there,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: So trying to be mindful of like how I play him.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I want to play him with Jokic.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: You probably still could, but you are asking for a lot,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of things to go right there.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that he's he's a really solid option.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna play him either, Tyas and Royce and Neil
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: really good options in the low mid midsier range. Tius
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: looks like a really really strong value at five point
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: two K. Same with Royce. I think both these guys
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: make a lot of sense, especially in game stacks. They're
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: gonna play a ton of minutes. I guess great. I
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: didn't even realize that Grayson Holland was out too, so
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: that's decently big. That's another another rotation guy that's gonna
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: be missing. Yeah, I got I gotta look back. Rotation
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: rotations are like the pop worn machine stuff for this game,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: because this was the I literally was finishing it right
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: before we got on. But I'm sure I see it
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: looks like Ryan Dunn got some minutes over Yusuf Dirkins.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Some wondering if they just went small ball a little
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: bit more versatile defensively with him out there over over Nurkic.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: Let's see, I just pulled it up Nurkic. He didn't
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: pick up any fouls. He played five and a half
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: minutes to start and then a quick three minute stint.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: It looks like in this second.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: It was blowout. He played in the blowout Ryan Dune
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because all it was all those all those
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: bumps got in. But I mean when Roise O'Neil was
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: still in, I guess all those guys it must have
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: been a huge blow at the fourth quarter.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: So none of the starters for Denver played in the fourth.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was definitely the blow out. So what are
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: your thoughts any I mean, Ryan Dunn still got very
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: solid first quarter. I mean even when the game was close,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Like he still played what four minutes in the first stint.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: But like twenty two it would have been like eighteen
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: minutes if you take away the fourth quarter run, I'm
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: not sure he probably would have still played like probably
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: twenty three twenty four minutes.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was on pace for yeah, and maybe even
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: a couple more, and there wasn't foul of trouble.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Tis Jones like Tye Roy is probably
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: two of the most popular players on the slate. But
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: I think there's so many other ways to get different
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: on the slate. Like again, I'm not saying locket, but
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: that's the last thing I'd rather go underweight on is
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: no Grace and no Booker. I mean, I always love
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: playing Tighest too. The dude is a very good basketball player.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: Good dfs player, et cetera. So that the Kd's of
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: the world, though the Beals of the world we just
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: talked about, assuming they do get ownership. We talked about
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: so many studs on this game, like Jalen Brown's close
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: enough to Beal. Give me Jalen Brown if he's less owned,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: right there Kd's ownership, Like there's Tatum, there's again you
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: have to spend more for the Wemby's, the Lucas, all
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: that out of the world, but there's plenty of value,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: Like all those guys are mispriced. Yeah, I'll probably be
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: underweight on the KD stuff, probably underweight and beat. I
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: know that's a different game, but I'm just trying to
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: think through the studs because I it's gonna be hard
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: for me, like the ad Wemby against Naturally, I'll probably
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: have to be undercat because I centers so loaded this late.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: You have to pick stuff you like.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: I love Jokic, it's hard man, so I guess Luca
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: didn't even mention him, Like I think Lucas really really strong.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: So I just don't If KDE's gonna be the Chalks Bend,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna be underweight. There is my thought definitely
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: not gonna be underweight to value though. Yeah, otherwise you
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: broke it down really well. I just again, I just
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: try and add what you say my thoughts initially, then
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: after that BIL don't love it. KD is fine, but
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: I think there's enough other pivots in that area less ownership.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: What it looks like right now? MAXI in that same
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: range to who you liked? Any final thoughts, great breakdown
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: as always in the nurkic calls interesting. Like you said,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: range of outcomes definitely could get you an absolute stinker
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: and your lineups are doing anything. But when you're playing tournaments,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: all you really care about is first place. So much
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: money up top. Nowadays he can at low ownership put
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: up a nuke. So and my final thoughts that game,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: the whole slate great, great job is always real.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean as far as this game, like, I
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: guess if we are being underweight Durant, it makes sense
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: to get overweight some of these other guys. I agree
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: with you. I don't think bial is like a great
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: play like thirty. I don't know. I still think forty
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: is gonna be enough from him.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: Derek White, Uh, I'm presuming Derek White's probably low.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: Do you think, what do you have ownership at right now?
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: You think, uh, Derek, why he will be I mean
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: they're both coming in pretty low owned, Like it's not
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: it's like a ten to eight percent.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: Who would you prefer in a vacuum?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: I would probably say Beal just because I like the
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: game enviral game environment a little bit more and a
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: little bit there's a lot less less mouth to feed
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: in Phoenix versus Boston. Yeah, but yeah, I mean if
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: I definitely want to get into this game environment, so
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: I think that if I'm not playing Kim Durant, I
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: do think that Bradley Beal and Nurkic are interesting ways
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: to get deep into this game because Nurkic is gonna play.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: He's gonna play a lot of minutes, not a lot,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: but like thirty is thirty one to thirty two is
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: probably in a game that's close, is probably where I
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: would say he's gonna be playing, And you take that. Yeah,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: if this game's gonna stay close, and if Kevin Durant
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: is not breaking the slate or if he's having a
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: down game, these secondar pieces are gonna have to have
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: to step up. So I think like having Nurkic Tias
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: Royce in a lineup with Jokic and then filling out
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: the rest with some some values or some other spends
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: that you like. Definitely make some sense.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: And again I'm not saying fade KD fadent Like at
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, all these dudes can absolutely nuke.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: We know that.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: I just I feel better about some of the other
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: guys having a better chance to nuke. And there's a
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: plethora of studs on this slate. You have to choose
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: from someone mentioned above. Then we're about to get on
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: out here. But I wanted your thoughts on this. Whereas
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: if there's only so many comments, I think that could
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: be the case. You can go Tatum KD, Maxi and
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: beads below there. I don't love embiid brunts in. We
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: didn't love that, but I think you can do that.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: It's not my favorite way to approach the slate then
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: any means, because it is soft. But enough of the
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: studs Lebron like, there are enough studs that are still
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: below ten k. You very well could could build a
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: lineup like that. I mean, I probably will have some
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: if I'm one fifteen on fan Duel. I know it's
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: different there, and I will be playing on DraftKings too.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: I might have some I don't know how much of
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: my portfolio, since again I do like the ads, the lucas,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: et cetera.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: But thoughts on this, Yeah, I don't necessarily disagree with it.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: I think that with.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: All the stuff, we might not need to that's how
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: we might not need to spend over ten K and
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: this like that's how I yeah, okay.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Obviously, like Jokic is the most
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: likely guy on the slates to score the most Fantasy points,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: but I mean there's there's a case where anybody below
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: Yokich could outscore him, Like I don't even think that,
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: like it's out of the definitely a slim chance this happens.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: But like even aunt the Edwards could be the highest
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: scoring player on the slate, Like Steph definitely could KD
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Lebron everybody from like from uh Wemby down to ant Edwards.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: J Brown, how surprised would you be if he was
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: the leading scorer on the slate.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: I'd be very surprised. Might be might be one of
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: the best point per dollar plays yestly, but I'd be
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: surprised if he was the highest score on the slate.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be surprised if like Aunt or Steph
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: was Lebron. No, I would that would not have surprise
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: me at all.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: KD that surprised me.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: That would surprise me a little bit. I think that,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Like I think sixty, like the sixty we've seen from
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: him is probably his his like ceiling. Maybe maybe sixty
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: five if he gets like a triple double or something
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: And that's the one reason why, like I don't love
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: him as much, because I do think tomorrow we see
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: someone go seventy plus, Like I think we see someone
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: absolutely nuke the slates and that's and then again a
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: bed can do it, but I don't. I haven't really
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: seen it much as of late, and I don't love
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: the matchup. And you didn't like the matchup too much either,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: So that's another reason. Like when I'm playing the Studs
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: above ten K, I want to put up seventy plus
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: because I mean, I really think someone does. Jokic probably
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: does it at night, but one of these other guys
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: I expect to as well.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: So awesome stuff is always real.
• 1:07:58
