- 2:05Speaker 2: on Jamal Murray.

- 2:09Speaker 3: past and stuff like that, but uh, he whenever he's there,
- 2:13Speaker 3: he does play.
- 2:14Speaker 2: When when he's in rhythm, I'm buying.
- 2:17Speaker 3: Especially around this time of the season, I think I
- 2:19Speaker 3: think he's he's he's cooking.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he uh he a gamer to me, like, yeah, yes,
- 2:26Speaker 1: he might not always be in a conversation with the
- 2:28Speaker 1: beating dogs, but he wh it's time to he right
- 2:32Speaker 1: there right.
- 2:34Speaker 2: I agree. I definitely agree with Jamal.
- 2:36Speaker 3: Yeah, he's definitely he's I think what he's showing now
- 2:39Speaker 3: is exactly what we what we need to see. It's
- 2:42Speaker 3: hard to put him as you know always you know,
- 2:44Speaker 3: all starts, he does that.
- 2:46Speaker 2: But he's gonna he's a bucket. He's gonna get you.
- 2:48Speaker 2: So he's gonna get some stuff for sure. For sure. Yeah.
- 2:52Speaker 1: The next top or format that going spot is my
- 2:54Speaker 1: dog he on your Lakers now, Uh, Luca donc fifty
- 2:58Speaker 1: six points?
- 3:01Speaker 2: Uh? He doing what? Luca? Do you know what I mean?
- 3:03Speaker 2: I got him on the squad.
- 3:04Speaker 1: He sat out for me last night, so I ain't
- 3:06Speaker 1: gonna lie kind of open up the door for the
- 3:08Speaker 1: guy plan to come back because you know.
- 3:11Speaker 2: You know how they doing this new NBA.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yes, you know your day to day almost
- 3:15Speaker 1: every day play when you feel like I don't want
- 3:17Speaker 1: to say when you feel like it.
- 3:19Speaker 2: But they be in and out the line though. Yeah.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Yeah, fantasy basketball is definitely different than fantasy football. You
- 3:26Speaker 3: definitely have to watch every night because like you were
- 3:28Speaker 3: just saying, but but Luca is that dog. He definitely
- 3:31Speaker 3: he's definitely been been been carrying us, carrying the Lakers.
- 3:35Speaker 2: So yeah, he's definitely he's been cooking. He's been cooking.
- 3:38Speaker 2: So but like you said, just keep in mind for that.
- 3:41Speaker 2: But think with him sitting out last last night.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, so that that hurt. But uh yeah,
- 3:47Speaker 1: my dog Luca, you know what I'm saying. He always
- 3:49Speaker 1: up here.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Uh.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Next up at the forest side of the top performers,
- 3:52Speaker 1: we got some new blood.
- 3:53Speaker 2: We got Trey Murph for the third from the Pelicans.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Do all these Pelicans fifty six point three fantasy points
- 3:59Speaker 1: over the week thirteen? He even had a seventy fantasy
- 4:03Speaker 1: point game. Let me know you're buying a fade on
- 4:06Speaker 1: Trey Murphy.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Trey, I'm gonna actually with him. I'm gonna actually fade.
- 4:12Speaker 2: And I like Trey Murphy. I do. But I think
- 4:14Speaker 2: I think Trey Murphy. I think that seventy game people
- 4:18Speaker 2: are gonna hone it on him a little bit.
- 4:19Speaker 3: More of this coming this next coming week. So I
- 4:22Speaker 3: would fade a little bit. It's a little bit a
- 4:23Speaker 3: little fade.
- 4:24Speaker 2: I'm not my Yeah, I do like.
- 4:26Speaker 3: I do like Trey Murphy, and I do like the Pelicans.
- 4:29Speaker 3: The way that they they're playing, they.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Ain't winning them. I ain't winning a lot of games.
- 4:32Speaker 3: But they're competing a lot so and Trey Murphy is
- 4:34Speaker 3: a big part of that.
- 4:36Speaker 1: The talent there. I think if they stay healthy, they'll
- 4:39Speaker 1: be all right. They got the talent in the building,
- 4:44Speaker 1: Trey Murphy, new blood at the top of former at
- 4:46Speaker 1: the full spot. Next up, I got this player as well,
- 4:49Speaker 1: you know, over reliable to claud Kawhi Leonard from the
- 4:52Speaker 1: Los Angeles Cripps. He had fifty five and a half
- 4:55Speaker 1: Fantasy points over week thirteen. Hey, and I saw something
- 4:58Speaker 1: about man, they won like twelve out of fourteen out
- 5:02Speaker 1: of their last fourteen, Like the Clippers on a burner
- 5:04Speaker 1: right now.
- 5:07Speaker 2: You're right, You're right, the Clippers there what right now?
- 5:11Speaker 2: In the West? In the West, they are number eleven.
- 5:15Speaker 3: But I mean as of the last ten games the
- 5:17Speaker 3: Clippers have been, They've been on a five game win.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Streak right now, so eight and two in the last
- 5:21Speaker 2: ten games. So yeah, and Kawhi is a big part
- 5:24Speaker 2: of that.
- 5:24Speaker 3: He's also been a little bit more healthier this season
- 5:26Speaker 3: than he has previous season. So we'll see hopefully, you know,
- 5:30Speaker 3: with him having fifty five point five points last week,
- 5:35Speaker 3: I can see that being the reason why their record
- 5:38Speaker 3: looking the way it looks. Yeah, they're in the eleven
- 5:40Speaker 3: seed right now, but with him cooking like the way
- 5:42Speaker 3: he's been cooking, or consistently consistently consistently playing, you know,
- 5:48Speaker 3: so I think I think, I think Kawhi definitely is
- 5:51Speaker 3: one of those great forwards for that.
- 5:54Speaker 2: There's always just been availability for him. Yeah.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Yeah, they shouldn't be an eleven long So uh, next
- 6:01Speaker 1: up at the center spot, I got Evan Mold. He
- 6:05Speaker 1: had fifty five Fantasy points over Week thirteen. He been
- 6:08Speaker 1: bothering over the year. I saw he had a game
- 6:10Speaker 1: winner against Phield the other night too.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I didn't get to see that one, but
- 6:15Speaker 2: I did. I think I did read about it or
- 6:17Speaker 2: hear about it.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Okay, lot, when you say game winners, it's misleading because
- 6:22Speaker 1: it makes it it was.
- 6:24Speaker 2: It wasn't the buzzer beater. It wasn't.
- 6:25Speaker 3: But it was like within like like I thinks, like
- 6:28Speaker 3: within like five seconds.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, yeah he done. It wasn't like, you know,
- 6:33Speaker 1: mixed somebody up and you know we had a jump.
- 6:36Speaker 2: It was.
- 6:37Speaker 1: It was a nice pass though from Jalen nice back
- 6:41Speaker 1: that night and hit him with the past to win it.
- 6:44Speaker 1: So that was a good one, and then the next
- 6:46Speaker 1: center at the top spot is Nikolai Bore that point
- 6:51Speaker 1: seven fantasy points.
- 6:52Speaker 2: He had a sixty five fantasy point game against Utah.
- 6:56Speaker 1: You know he with Chicago. What you're doing, you're buying
- 6:58Speaker 1: a fading on boots.
- 7:00Speaker 3: Yah, Rooch, I'm not gonna lie I do like Booch,
- 7:03Speaker 3: I'm not gonna I was hoping that we could have
- 7:05Speaker 3: looked to try to do something with or try to
- 7:07Speaker 3: at least look to see if he was available look
- 7:10Speaker 3: for my Lakers, you know me, I'm always always trying
- 7:12Speaker 3: to do something for the Lakers.
- 7:13Speaker 2: But for fantasy, I think is going to be a
- 7:16Speaker 2: good bye. You know, I think he'll be a good
- 7:18Speaker 2: bye for fantasy.
- 7:21Speaker 3: He's one of those centers that most people don't really
- 7:23Speaker 3: know about if you're not really an NBA fan, But.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Especially for with Chicago, he's been playing pretty well, and I.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Think I think he'll be I think he can maintain
- 7:34Speaker 3: that consistency. I mean will when he get sixty five now,
- 7:38Speaker 3: but I think staying in that forty eight point seven
- 7:40Speaker 3: range where he's been at this for the season.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Uh for last week, I think he can keep close
- 7:45Speaker 2: to that. Yeah.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. So that was a type performers.
- 7:51Speaker 1: That was my top performers. You got anybody you want
- 7:53Speaker 1: to add?
- 7:54Speaker 2: Uh, top performers for last week.
- 7:59Speaker 3: I mean, the only one I could think about, and
- 8:01Speaker 3: this is kind of going to go into one of
- 8:02Speaker 3: my other ones, was was Bright Sensible.
- 8:04Speaker 2: He was he looked pretty good, you know. Uh, he
- 8:08Speaker 2: averaged up there. He's I think he had his last game.
- 8:11Speaker 3: He had thirty four Fantasy points for his last game
- 8:14Speaker 3: that he had, So, yeah.
- 8:16Speaker 2: He's one of he's one. He's one of the ones
- 8:17Speaker 2: that I definitely was kind of looking at.
- 8:20Speaker 3: So he's not he's not a big name Bright Sensible
- 8:23Speaker 3: for Utah, So he's been he's been cooking slowly.
- 8:26Speaker 2: His game has been a little bit inconsistent, obviously.
- 8:28Speaker 3: But it goes based off of his playing time. But
- 8:31Speaker 3: Fantasy he looked. He looks like he's someone that y'all
- 8:35Speaker 3: need to look out for.
- 8:37Speaker 1: So, yeah, my MAVs just played them back to back.
- 8:39Speaker 1: I think he had twenty five yesterday. Yeah, I think
- 8:43Speaker 1: he had thirty.
- 8:45Speaker 3: I think he said thirty thirty four thirty fourth game before,
- 8:47Speaker 3: that's what it was the game before.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, yeah, nah, he was, Uh, he looks oited though.
- 8:53Speaker 1: He looked like he could shoot, like got a burner,
- 8:55Speaker 1: like he got a good pull up, like got a
- 8:57Speaker 1: little post game too.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so I look like he been bothered to uh.
- 9:02Speaker 1: I mentioned him on my Big Week Hustle episode, and yeah,
- 9:07Speaker 1: he been bothered. Look like he's been getting major burn
- 9:09Speaker 1: since Christmas though, so it looked like.
- 9:12Speaker 2: His type direction and looking at his minutes.
- 9:15Speaker 3: I was actually looking at the minutes the other day,
- 9:17Speaker 3: and his minutes have been going up, which it makes
- 9:20Speaker 3: sense with his game, especially with the way he's been
- 9:22Speaker 3: playing and scoring and all that rebounding man, not so
- 9:26Speaker 3: much as this, but mainly just rebounding and scoring.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, that's that's a rap on the top
- 9:33Speaker 1: performance from week thirteen. Make sure y'all you know on
- 9:35Speaker 1: top of that, if it's somebody y'all can trade for, uh,
- 9:38Speaker 1: try to try to make something happen, make something shake
- 9:40Speaker 1: to save your season. We're gonna get up into who
- 9:43Speaker 1: you know who next up on the wave of wire
- 9:45Speaker 1: for our hustle to pick up.
- 9:47Speaker 2: You know, waiver wire gems. I'm gonna swing it to
- 9:49Speaker 2: you first, justin before we get it.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Before I swing it to you, you know, we try
- 9:53Speaker 1: to identify talent as under fifty percent rostered in leagues.
- 9:58Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, that can help you. That's
- 9:59Speaker 1: a available that you can go grab. So you know,
- 10:03Speaker 1: I'm an swing it to you. Who who Yo, let's
- 10:05Speaker 1: pick up.
- 10:06Speaker 2: So I'm hustle pickup. I'm gonna I'm gonna actually go
- 10:09Speaker 2: with the guy.
- 10:09Speaker 3: We just talked about. Bryce Censibal. He's eighteen percent rostered
- 10:14Speaker 3: right now. He's eighteen percent rostered. Like I said, he's
- 10:18Speaker 3: averaging nineteen point one Fantasy points twenty one minutes a game.
- 10:23Speaker 3: He's you know, I think he's trending in the right direction.
- 10:27Speaker 3: Like I said, with that eighteen percent, that means a
- 10:28Speaker 3: lot of people don't have him. He's available in our
- 10:30Speaker 3: league right now too. So I would say Bryce Censible
- 10:33Speaker 3: is definitely one of those ones. He can score his rebounds.
- 10:37Speaker 3: His rebounds are at three right now, but they're going up.
- 10:41Speaker 3: His points at eleven eleven point seven. But I think
- 10:44Speaker 3: Bryce censiball is one of those ones. Especially with Utah.
- 10:46Speaker 2: They're not the best.
- 10:47Speaker 3: They're what are they? They are thirteenth in the in
- 10:51Speaker 3: the West, but and they on a three game loten
- 10:55Speaker 3: streak two and eight for the last ten games. But
- 10:57Speaker 3: Brice Censibal has definitely been a bright spot or that
- 11:00Speaker 3: team and looking like they're trying to figure out what
- 11:03Speaker 3: they got going on with their whole team. But I
- 11:05Speaker 3: think Bryce Sensiball would be a really good fantasy pickup.
- 11:08Speaker 3: And he looked like he's been playing consistently, so yeah,
- 11:12Speaker 3: and I haven't seen anything about injuries or anything like
- 11:14Speaker 3: that with him, so and he's young, so I think
- 11:17Speaker 3: he's gonna be definitely one of those one of those
- 11:20Speaker 3: players that can consistently get you something if you just continue,
- 11:23Speaker 3: especially with them.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Giving him more and more play and time more especially
- 11:26Speaker 2: more recently. Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I was gonna touch your good points though. I know
- 11:33Speaker 1: we just talked about him in the top performers, but
- 11:36Speaker 1: I'm looking here. He only got one single digit Fantasy
- 11:39Speaker 1: game over his last team, so it looked like that
- 11:42Speaker 1: consistency there. It looked like, you know, he's awry, so
- 11:47Speaker 1: you could definitely probably go grab him and start him
- 11:49Speaker 1: with confidence.
- 11:50Speaker 2: And he might be a Streame mistake candidate too.
- 11:53Speaker 1: So uh, that's a great pick up, great suggestion, great
- 11:57Speaker 1: wave of wide scoop. If you need some help out there,
- 12:01Speaker 1: Bright sin survive from the Utah Jazz.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Okay, yep, exactly exactly. So what what you got? What
- 12:07Speaker 2: you got for us, Terrence?
- 12:09Speaker 1: So I got I got a few people, my first guys.
- 12:14Speaker 1: AJ Mitchell twenty nine and a half Fantasy points over
- 12:17Speaker 1: the season. He is forty five and a half percent rosted.
- 12:21Speaker 1: He got fourteen you know, he averaging fourteen points a game,
- 12:24Speaker 1: three and a half rebounds, three point six assists over
- 12:27Speaker 1: the season in twenty six minutes. So he getting major burn.
- 12:31Speaker 1: And as we know, you know, okay see, one of
- 12:33Speaker 1: the top teams and AJ Mitchell a big part of that,
- 12:36Speaker 1: you know. So I think he a good scoop and
- 12:40Speaker 1: like I say, forty five and a half percent, he's
- 12:42Speaker 1: still a majority available, so he'll you know.
- 12:46Speaker 2: He out there for you. Yeah, that's definitely Yeah. I'm
- 12:51Speaker 2: not gonna lie AJ Mitchell. I'm not gonna lie.
- 12:52Speaker 3: I think with okay See, they the team specifically, they're
- 12:56Speaker 3: getting everyone's best.
- 12:58Speaker 2: But like you said, I think A. J.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Mitchell has been definitely stepping up as one of those
- 13:03Speaker 3: others Shock and.
- 13:04Speaker 2: All them talk about, has definitely been doing his thing.
- 13:07Speaker 3: Franaghy wise, I mean also playing wise, but like I said,
- 13:10Speaker 3: fourteen point two, three point five rebounds, three point six assists,
- 13:14Speaker 3: you know, versus over the season, twenty six minutes per game.
- 13:17Speaker 3: That's that's you know, like you said, I think he's
- 13:21Speaker 3: definitely one of those under the radar players like you said.
- 13:24Speaker 3: And yeah, forty five percent roster, just under half, but
- 13:27Speaker 3: looks he looks really really good. And I think, you know,
- 13:31Speaker 3: for those that don't watch that are playing fantasy, he's
- 13:33Speaker 3: definitely one of those ones that you probably should be
- 13:35Speaker 3: looking at. I think that's a really good, really really
- 13:38Speaker 3: good one. A lot of people I probably talk about.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I screamed him a few times this week, though,
- 13:43Speaker 1: I ain't even gonna lie to you. So, yeah, so
- 13:47Speaker 1: I from experience, he's helping me get a lead right now.
- 13:52Speaker 2: So I'm definitely stream him this week next up. I
- 13:56Speaker 2: ain't gonna lie.
- 13:57Speaker 1: I've been mentioning it. I mentioned him earlier in the season.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Musa Diabat from Charlotte. He twenty average, twenty five fantasy points.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Uh that's over Yeah, over the season, you know, he's
- 14:08Speaker 1: fourteen point now suggest under fifteen percent roster get eight
- 14:11Speaker 1: points eight, eight point four ribs, rebounds, one point five
- 14:15Speaker 1: and six point eight steals and one block in twenty
- 14:18Speaker 1: four and a half minutes. Over the season, I streamed
- 14:21Speaker 1: him a couple of times. I ain't gonna lie, I
- 14:23Speaker 1: kind of didn't go back to the well he had
- 14:25Speaker 1: got hurt. You know, I missed a few games, so
- 14:27Speaker 1: I kind of stopped checking for him. But it looked
- 14:29Speaker 1: like he's still baved and still doing this thing I
- 14:31Speaker 1: see day to day now. But uh, I angle, lie,
- 14:34Speaker 1: this is one of my favorite streamers for sure.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Yeah. No, he definitely definitely is one of those ones.
- 14:40Speaker 2: You know. I know you Charlotte just beat up on
- 14:42Speaker 2: my Lakers the other day. So and did he did
- 14:47Speaker 2: he play? He did play? Yeah, yeah, so he didn't.
- 14:51Speaker 2: He didn't get much. I think he played thirty minutes
- 14:56Speaker 2: with the against the Lakers. But yeah, he's definitely one
- 14:58Speaker 2: of those ones. I know, he's definite with that young team.
- 15:01Speaker 3: I know them eight point two rebounds per game for that,
- 15:04Speaker 3: I think that's definitely gonna help you out fit with
- 15:06Speaker 3: them fantasy points with twenty five fantasy points. Yeah, he's
- 15:10Speaker 3: definitely one of those ones that I would definitely look
- 15:12Speaker 3: forward when I'm looking to try to like lock up
- 15:15Speaker 3: my center area.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Yeah, forward I'm centered forward. Yeah, now you're a good
- 15:20Speaker 2: school good school Uh so, yeah, I like.
- 15:25Speaker 1: And then Charlotte, I know they record ain't crazy, but
- 15:27Speaker 1: they look like they've been playing a little better here recently. Oh,
- 15:30Speaker 1: like you said, I watched that fourth quarter of the
- 15:33Speaker 1: Hornets beating the Lakers.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Uh, bro, I know, yeah, I know, I know. He
- 15:43Speaker 2: I know, but I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm
- 15:45Speaker 2: not I think I'm the same. That's this is kind
- 15:46Speaker 2: of how I felt in twenty sixteen. And I'm a
- 15:48Speaker 2: huge Kobe fan, but it's it's kind of the same
- 15:50Speaker 2: exact mindset. I think it's we're trying to give him
- 15:54Speaker 2: their flowers. But man, as a fan of the team, who, Yeah,
- 15:59Speaker 2: it's time he done all he could do. He done
- 16:02Speaker 2: all exactly exactly. Yeah, I think it's.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Time I hang a lot. This dude kind of surprised me.
- 16:10Speaker 1: I know, he's been bounced around the league for a while.
- 16:14Speaker 1: Pressures to two nineteen Fantasy points on the year, six
- 16:19Speaker 1: and a half percent roster from Sacramento, seven and a
- 16:22Speaker 1: half points, five and a half rebounds, almost one steal.
- 16:27Speaker 1: You know, he getting just under twenty one minutes a
- 16:29Speaker 1: game over the season, but over his last seven days
- 16:32Speaker 1: he averaged.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Twenty nine point three fantasy points. I had a lot.
- 16:36Speaker 1: I grabbed him today to stream, you know, trying to
- 16:39Speaker 1: push my lead out. So I think he'll extreame. Oh yeah,
- 16:43Speaker 1: I think presses Pressure that You will definitely.
- 16:45Speaker 3: You know, I've been kind of hearing his name a
- 16:46Speaker 3: little bit even on a little bit more in sports,
- 16:48Speaker 3: and yeah, I don't talk about they don't talk much
- 16:50Speaker 3: about Sacramento.
- 16:52Speaker 2: That much, but Pressure that You is definitely one of
- 16:55Speaker 2: those bright spots for them.
- 16:57Speaker 3: And like you said, he has been bouncing around and
- 16:59Speaker 3: like a s diff for fantasy players, he is definitely
- 17:02Speaker 3: one of those ones that you definitely want to look
- 17:04Speaker 3: out for because you know, if you look just looking
- 17:07Speaker 3: at his roster, look how consistently he's been playing. And
- 17:10Speaker 3: that's really the biggest thing is availability who's been playing,
- 17:13Speaker 3: who's been actually getting some pointed, like you said, the
- 17:15Speaker 3: last week, twenty nine point three fantasy points. That is definitely, uh,
- 17:21Speaker 3: definitely some things to look at for a lot of players,
- 17:23Speaker 3: especially as the season goes.
- 17:24Speaker 2: On, when more players are going to be sitting out
- 17:26Speaker 2: with rest and things like that. People like Pressures of
- 17:28Speaker 2: true is gonna be, it's gonna be someone that you
- 17:31Speaker 2: want to look for. So do you wish, If I wish,
- 17:35Speaker 2: I would have did a little bit better and uh
- 17:36Speaker 2: probably scooped him before you did. But but that's definite, definitely,
- 17:41Speaker 2: definitely a good pickup.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Yeah, And I can't help but notice, you know, Sacramento,
- 17:45Speaker 1: I believe one.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Fall in a row.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, they want ye in a row. Therefore, and
- 17:53Speaker 1: they last hand as fall in a row. And he's
- 17:55Speaker 1: been consistently playing over the last week two weeks. You know,
- 18:01Speaker 1: you know, it may be coincidence, I don't know, but exactly,
- 18:04Speaker 1: it's amazing, you know when you put a high energy
- 18:07Speaker 1: guy in, like a truer and your team starts to
- 18:11Speaker 1: play better.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Exactly, exactly.
- 18:14Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely a good
- 18:17Speaker 3: pick up or someone to look at for fantasy. I
- 18:21Speaker 3: don't know if there's any Sacramento King fans out there,
- 18:23Speaker 3: but definitely, yeah, he definitely is a bright side for
- 18:27Speaker 3: you guys.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Yeah, check him out, check him out. Pressure is a truer.
- 18:32Speaker 1: So yeah, I got another guy, Jars Walker, a probably
- 18:36Speaker 1: the name you don't hear much. He averaging sixteen point
- 18:39Speaker 1: nine Fantasy points over the season, he one point nine
- 18:42Speaker 1: percent roster. He averaged nine points, four point three reps
- 18:46Speaker 1: or rebounds, one point nine assists on the season. You know,
- 18:49Speaker 1: but with the injuries to the Pacers, they've been in, like,
- 18:51Speaker 1: ain't they injured? Situation crazy? It's man, God bless the
- 18:57Speaker 1: Pacer fans though, because they're going through it especially.
- 19:00Speaker 2: I was about to saying, I think that probably may
- 19:03Speaker 2: have taken a toll that that that short year.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Yeah, that short short off season because of the playoff
- 19:09Speaker 3: push that they had last year. So I can definitely
- 19:11Speaker 3: understand it. And it's but but George Walker definiteays a
- 19:15Speaker 3: little bit of a bright spot for him.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Yeah, soul, you can benefit fromhim now, you're good. He
- 19:20Speaker 1: averaging thirty point seven fantasy points over the last seven days.
- 19:23Speaker 2: He even had a fifty one point game.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Fifty one point fantasy game that is January tenth against Miami.
- 19:29Speaker 1: It's funny though, because he like the third or fourth
- 19:32Speaker 1: person I looked up and they had a good game
- 19:34Speaker 1: against Miami. So it might be a streaming opportunity for
- 19:39Speaker 1: you when somebody plays. But yeah, Jars Walker is, like
- 19:45Speaker 1: you said, a bright spot for the Paces this year.
- 19:48Speaker 2: MM hmm.
- 19:49Speaker 3: And man, like you said, if you just look at
- 19:51Speaker 3: the thing, I know everyone else been hurt looking at him,
- 19:53Speaker 3: just looking at his log. I mean he's been he's
- 19:56Speaker 3: been in all the games, so and consistently having no breaks.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Younger player.
- 20:01Speaker 3: That's another thing, Like I said, we keep talking about.
- 20:02Speaker 3: I keep going back to harping back to look at
- 20:05Speaker 3: the ones whose stats have not just not so much
- 20:08Speaker 3: the actual rebounds in a sense and all that, like
- 20:10Speaker 3: who's actually playing? Yeah, because you know for fantasy, you know,
- 20:14Speaker 3: I know we all hate it when if you didn't
- 20:16Speaker 3: check it that day and the player that you have
- 20:19Speaker 3: is sitting because of the rest and now the points.
- 20:24Speaker 1: So yeah, availability is your best ability for sure. For sure, Jared,
- 20:34Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, jars Walker, that's the name
- 20:36Speaker 1: for the Pacers.
- 20:37Speaker 2: So if you need help, you need stream of help.
- 20:39Speaker 2: Check him out. He getting consistent work.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Uh. Next up, Anthony Simons, I ain't gonna lie. I
- 20:45Speaker 1: thought he would have had a better year in Boston
- 20:47Speaker 1: with no Tatum, you know, being in a new spot,
- 20:51Speaker 1: probably taking that that Drew Holliday role, not not not
- 20:54Speaker 1: from the defensive side, but at least the office.
- 20:57Speaker 2: Side of my bar.
- 20:59Speaker 1: But I I ain't an lie. He had a great
- 21:01Speaker 1: game last week. He had a fifty six point fantasy game.
- 21:05Speaker 1: He averaged twenty two point eight fantasy points on the year.
- 21:08Speaker 1: I think he extreme the state candidate. He is fifty
- 21:11Speaker 1: three point four percent roster, playing twenty four minutes a game,
- 21:15Speaker 1: but he getting fourteen points two rebounds or two point
- 21:18Speaker 1: four rebounds the big exact two point six.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Uh you knows cis per game.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Here's another guy had a fifty six point fan or
- 21:26Speaker 1: a fifty six fantasy point game January fifteen versus.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Miami. Hey, that's the that's the practice game.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Yeah, they get some demons. It looks like yeah so so.
- 21:40Speaker 2: But yeah, he definitely, definitely, definitely Afrite Simmons definitely is
- 21:43Speaker 2: one of those ones.
- 21:44Speaker 3: I will say, I know when that trade happened for
- 21:46Speaker 3: you know, that trade with for him to come to Boston,
- 21:49Speaker 3: Like you said, I definitely could have.
- 21:51Speaker 2: I thought that was a good pickup for Boston as
- 21:55Speaker 2: well with him being younger.
- 21:57Speaker 1: Uh.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Absolutely, Obviously they lose living on defense, but that's scoring
- 22:02Speaker 3: if he can actually do it, like you said against Miami,
- 22:04Speaker 3: but if you can do that consistently.
- 22:07Speaker 2: It's amazing.
- 22:07Speaker 1: To me how Boston, Boston, y'all, the Lakers, Miami, they
- 22:14Speaker 1: be in running for everybody, everybody.
- 22:20Speaker 2: I think the location has something to do with it,
- 22:21Speaker 2: also the market.
- 22:22Speaker 3: But yeah, I feel you, and I want to believe
- 22:26Speaker 3: the organizations. I know Miami definitely runs a good organization.
- 22:30Speaker 3: Lakers do too, as you can see what like we
- 22:33Speaker 3: just talked about with Lebron. I think even though a
- 22:36Speaker 3: lot of US fans are ready for Lebron to retire
- 22:39Speaker 3: and I was ready for COVID to retire, I think
- 22:41Speaker 3: the way that they take care of their players, like
- 22:43Speaker 3: the Lakers and maybe even Boston to a degree to
- 22:46Speaker 3: a lesser degree, I think that definitely plays well with
- 22:49Speaker 3: players wanting to.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Go there, especially want to get in the back end
- 22:52Speaker 2: of their career.
- 22:53Speaker 3: But but yeah, afroty Simon's definitely fantasy wise, definitely been
- 22:58Speaker 3: looking a little.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Bit like been trending in that right direction as well,
- 23:03Speaker 2: you know.
- 23:03Speaker 3: And funny, could I always be looking always I'd be
- 23:05Speaker 3: forgetting that he's not with he's not with.
- 23:08Speaker 2: Portland anymore, And I'm like, yeah, that's right, he's over
- 23:11Speaker 2: there cooking with the he's over there doing good with Boston. Yeah. Yeah,
- 23:16Speaker 2: So Yeah.
- 23:17Speaker 1: He twenty nine point three fantasy points over the last
- 23:20Speaker 1: seven days. So yeah, Anthony's Anthony Simons. Yeah yeah, clearly
- 23:27Speaker 1: somebody was a Penny Hardaway fan when he was coming up.
- 23:31Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, so.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Yeah, Anthony Simon is a good stream to stay candidate.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Make sure y'all check him out. Uh, this is my
- 23:40Speaker 1: last guy, my last suggestion for y'all. Moose to Sea
- 23:43Speaker 1: Safe from the MAVs.
- 23:45Speaker 2: From my MAVs.
- 23:46Speaker 1: He ain't doing much on the year twelve point war
- 23:49Speaker 1: fantasy points. Uh, he extream a point two percent roster.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Like I say, he ain't doing much. He only averaging
- 23:55Speaker 1: eleven minutes of game over the season when he plays. However,
- 24:01Speaker 1: Lively's out for the year, ads out for some time.
- 24:04Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be reevaluated in four weeks. Gaffers
- 24:08Speaker 1: in and out the line of PJ. Washington's hurt.
- 24:11Speaker 2: So that increased the opportunity for Sea Safe. Yeah, he
- 24:14Speaker 2: has a good time to stream.
- 24:16Speaker 1: You know, you can stream him with confidence, so you know,
- 24:18Speaker 1: sometimes opportunity is your best cheat code.
- 24:21Speaker 2: Yep mm, you know, I agree. I definitely agree.
- 24:25Speaker 3: Like like you said, if you look at the stats
- 24:26Speaker 3: right there, you see his point four percent roster.
- 24:29Speaker 2: So he's not He's on nobody's radar. So that's a
- 24:32Speaker 2: good thing. Like you said, with all the injuries that
- 24:35Speaker 2: that Dallas has had, and I'm not gonna lie on paper.
- 24:37Speaker 3: At the beginning of the season looking at Dallas, I
- 24:39Speaker 3: was like, man, that's the team if they were good.
- 24:41Speaker 3: But it makes sense with all the health issues, you know,
- 24:45Speaker 3: moves to CSA. He definitely people like who's that? I
- 24:48Speaker 3: get it, you know, but if you if you watch
- 24:51Speaker 3: that team, they need that center there. So I feel like, well,
- 24:57Speaker 3: he probably do the best. Most likely not, but he's
- 25:00Speaker 3: gonna probably get you some consistent points with all the injuries.
- 25:03Speaker 2: That they have up there.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, now he athletic, uh look like he a
- 25:08Speaker 1: solid help side defender. So yeah, I here, Like I said,
- 25:12Speaker 1: he a streamer though, so I don't think there's long
- 25:14Speaker 1: term production.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Oh yeah, strictly streamer. You know.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Quick you know, pickure, you need them a day and
- 25:22Speaker 1: then you probably get off of them. So that was
- 25:25Speaker 1: that was all, you know, my way of pickups. I
- 25:28Speaker 1: know you had bright sense of biz ors. We had
- 25:31Speaker 1: a few that I think eight seven seven people for you.
- 25:36Speaker 1: So yeah, make sure y'all tap in. You know, let
- 25:38Speaker 1: us know who y'all looking at? Who y'all who y'all
- 25:40Speaker 1: like the stream out there? Uh yeah, So we're gonna
- 25:44Speaker 1: keep it pushing. We're gonna go into this this segment.
- 25:46Speaker 2: The top dog.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Who is your top dog going in the week fourteen with?
- 25:51Speaker 1: Is somebody who probably on a crazy burner. You know,
- 25:55Speaker 1: they they you know, they just hooping right now.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, So I I was kind of stuck between
- 26:01Speaker 2: two different people, but for this one, I'm gonna go
- 26:06Speaker 2: with for my top dog right now, I'm a burner.
- 26:08Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Yannis, who has about uh he's
- 26:13Speaker 3: having about fifty one point five.
- 26:15Speaker 2: Fantasy points on the season averaging.
- 26:19Speaker 3: But I know, like the past week twelve and with thirteen, uh,
- 26:23Speaker 3: he's had twenty eight point seven points per game, eight
- 26:26Speaker 3: rebounds per game, seven assists per game, one point three
- 26:29Speaker 3: blocks per game, and then one steal per game on
- 26:32Speaker 3: sixty eight percent shooting, which has definitely been making I
- 26:37Speaker 3: for Fantasy.
- 26:37Speaker 2: I know a lot. I know he's one hundred percent
- 26:39Speaker 2: rostered obviously, but.
- 26:43Speaker 3: I mean, like I said, if you have him, especially
- 26:45Speaker 3: with him, you know, with that team not being as
- 26:48Speaker 3: good he's still playing a lot, so I would definitely
- 26:52Speaker 3: still look into him looking at their standings. I know
- 26:57Speaker 3: with uh with the Eastern Conference, with the Milwaukee they're
- 27:02Speaker 3: eleventh and they're eleven, but they're five and five. They're
- 27:06Speaker 3: on a three game losing streak. But it hasn't been
- 27:09Speaker 3: because of Joannes. Jannis has been doing everything he can.
- 27:13Speaker 3: Maybe there maybe because he wants to get traded. Now
- 27:15Speaker 3: obviously we know that's what's going on, but I don't
- 27:18Speaker 3: think he's cheating the game, and especially not not for fantasy.
- 27:20Speaker 3: He's definitely been still performing the way he's supposed to.
- 27:25Speaker 1: That actually leads me to my next question.
- 27:28Speaker 2: Traded. Oh, I feel like Milwaukee has given him everything
- 27:35Speaker 2: that he's asked for, so uh, it's short and short. Yes,
- 27:40Speaker 2: only because of Luca.
- 27:41Speaker 3: With Luca last year, so I know if there's someone
- 27:44Speaker 3: out there that's gonna willing to pay Milwaukee, I know
- 27:48Speaker 3: Milwaukee will probably come off off with him for the
- 27:51Speaker 3: right for the right things.
- 27:56Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, I would have. Definitely I would have.
- 27:59Speaker 2: And that's and that's why I understand why. You know,
- 28:02Speaker 2: I'm a Laker fan, so you know I got I love.
- 28:04Speaker 3: I'm glad that we got him, But as an NBA fan,
- 28:08Speaker 3: I would have definitely been looking like, wait, Giannis is
- 28:11Speaker 3: not happy ways that, why didn't we look at that.
- 28:17Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest. It's easier to say this because
- 28:20Speaker 2: I'm not the GM, but as a GM of Dallas.
- 28:24Speaker 1: Be honest, probably would have been like the short list
- 28:27Speaker 1: of people I would have traded luper Fu.
- 28:29Speaker 2: But not to get too far ahead, would you say,
- 28:33Speaker 2: oh no, not Anthony Davis has been injury prone, So
- 28:36Speaker 2: I agree with you, but not to get too far off.
- 28:41Speaker 4: Yeah, I.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Don't know.
- 28:44Speaker 1: It's too much back and forth. It's like I think
- 28:49Speaker 1: he want to get traded, kind of like the Dame
- 28:51Speaker 1: Lilli situation. He want to get traded, but he don't
- 28:56Speaker 1: really want to say it because.
- 28:57Speaker 2: He want to hold on to being lawyer. He wanted
- 29:01Speaker 2: to be loyal. Yeah, and I can respect that to
- 29:04Speaker 2: an extent. You know, he's been there. So what is
- 29:06Speaker 2: year thirteen for? I think, yep, yep.
- 29:09Speaker 1: So I can kind of see why he will hesitate
- 29:12Speaker 1: on alienating the city, the fans, and it an alienation
- 29:17Speaker 1: to me.
- 29:18Speaker 3: But you know what I mean, getting up, I agree,
- 29:22Speaker 3: I think like I said, I mean, if you have
- 29:24Speaker 3: a little of time, I think, how did that looks?
- 29:28Speaker 3: But I guess my retort would be to that loyalty
- 29:31Speaker 3: quote unquote with the fans, how did that work out for?
- 29:35Speaker 1: Uh?
- 29:35Speaker 2: What's his dame? You know? So like sometimes as much
- 29:40Speaker 2: as much as.
- 29:41Speaker 3: We people don't like Lebron hate on it, but Lebron
- 29:43Speaker 3: had to do it was best for his career, for
- 29:45Speaker 3: his you know, his ascension as being considered one of
- 29:48Speaker 3: the greats. Same thing for Joannest. You want to considered
- 29:52Speaker 3: one of the greats. You gotta go fight with these teams.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Not every team.
- 29:55Speaker 3: Not every team's interest is going to be your interest. Yes,
- 29:59Speaker 3: it's the best for them to have you and keep you,
- 30:01Speaker 3: but that may not be your interest to stay.
- 30:03Speaker 2: It's like with.
- 30:04Speaker 3: Fantasy you know, when you're picking up your certain players,
- 30:07Speaker 3: it may be it may be, oh, yes, this is
- 30:09Speaker 3: a big name person, but are they production?
- 30:11Speaker 2: Are they scoring? Maybe I might need to trade them a.
- 30:13Speaker 3: Lot faster to give them somebody else so I can
- 30:16Speaker 3: get more players or more points, more Fantasy points to
- 30:18Speaker 3: try to.
- 30:19Speaker 2: Compete for that championship.
- 30:20Speaker 1: So I ain't gonna lie it sucked though. It's kind
- 30:24Speaker 1: of like multi faceted though, right, Because on one hand,
- 30:29Speaker 1: if you Milwaukee, you you probably need to rebuild because
- 30:32Speaker 1: you got so much money committed to Gianni's and then
- 30:35Speaker 1: trying to get these over the heel guys to try
- 30:38Speaker 1: to help him get another ring to where you kind
- 30:41Speaker 1: of strapped, Whereas you probably need just gonna start that rebuild,
- 30:46Speaker 1: you know, like you just said, there was what eleventh
- 30:49Speaker 1: in the East eleven? Yeah, so it's probably time to
- 30:53Speaker 1: start the rebuild unless you can if you can retool,
- 30:57Speaker 1: obviously you probably want a retool, but you probably won't
- 31:01Speaker 1: get much better without giving him up.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Though. Oh yeah, no, I agree, I.
- 31:06Speaker 3: Agree, and I mean I think also the writing was
- 31:09Speaker 3: on the wall, the fact that Damian Liller was there
- 31:12Speaker 3: and you kind of saw this guy who was faithful
- 31:14Speaker 3: with this team, and then when he's not with that team,
- 31:17Speaker 3: he's not the.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Same player anymore because the years have passed.
- 31:20Speaker 3: So they got all they Portland got all they needed
- 31:23Speaker 3: out of him, and now they got picks and got
- 31:24Speaker 3: all this stuff and their team is a lot better now,
- 31:27Speaker 3: a little bit different now than where the Bucks are.
- 31:31Speaker 3: So yeah, if I was honest, it's it's one of
- 31:34Speaker 3: those things that sucks, you know, But you know, when
- 31:38Speaker 3: you're in this, when you're in that industry, or you know,
- 31:40Speaker 3: sometimes you have to kind of think about your invested
- 31:44Speaker 3: interests over the team or what you what people keep
- 31:49Speaker 3: trying to make you buy into.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I think too. You made a point about Brian.
- 31:55Speaker 1: It's funny because I feel like switching teams hurt Braun
- 32:01Speaker 1: and KD Yes.
- 32:03Speaker 2: But I don't know if people will have that same
- 32:06Speaker 2: energy for Giannis if he was traded. Yeah.
- 32:11Speaker 3: You know what the funny thing is, I agree with you,
- 32:13Speaker 3: and it's because I think this is the thing that
- 32:16Speaker 3: most people don't really talk about, is he's not an
- 32:18Speaker 3: American born player. You know, I think it's easier to
- 32:22Speaker 3: it's easier, especially with fan bases, to get behind someone
- 32:25Speaker 3: that's us, you know, not to get into politics or
- 32:28Speaker 3: anything like that, but you know, most people, it's easier
- 32:31Speaker 3: to identify, oh, he's you know, he's this, is a
- 32:33Speaker 3: Cleveland native, this and that.
- 32:35Speaker 2: But then he went to Miami. You know, Miami loved him, man,
- 32:38Speaker 2: you know, you know, but then he moves on from
- 32:41Speaker 2: that too.
- 32:41Speaker 3: So it's like, you know, I could understand them that
- 32:45Speaker 3: was up there at the top top tier. But and
- 32:48Speaker 3: Giannis is trying to get there. I think he can,
- 32:52Speaker 3: but he probably has to kind of have that same
- 32:55Speaker 3: mindset and.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Maybe not be as vocal as Braun or r KD.
- 33:01Speaker 3: But he still need to try to kind of work
- 33:04Speaker 3: on putting himself out there a little bit better to.
- 33:08Speaker 2: Give the appearance that he's more available than what he
- 33:11Speaker 2: tries to give off. Yeah. Yeah.
- 33:14Speaker 1: Do you think, aside from your point of Joanna is
- 33:19Speaker 1: not being an American born, do you think part of
- 33:22Speaker 1: the reason he also wouldn't get that backlash is because
- 33:25Speaker 1: he won a ring with Milwaukee first and then left
- 33:30Speaker 1: left before he got his ring with Cleveland And ye, yeah,
- 33:36Speaker 1: right right, that makes sense.
- 33:37Speaker 2: That makes sense.
- 33:38Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I'm glad your brother. That's a really
- 33:41Speaker 3: good point. I didn't even make that connection to you
- 33:43Speaker 3: just said it.
- 33:44Speaker 2: Which, Yes, that'll definitely I think that'll definitely help him.
- 33:51Speaker 2: And we know he's won.
- 33:51Speaker 3: He was the Yeah, he was, he was the He
- 33:55Speaker 3: was the guy when they won their championship. Yes, they
- 33:58Speaker 3: had good pieces around him.
- 34:00Speaker 2: But he was the guy. So and he didn't have
- 34:04Speaker 2: to he didn't have the metal thing or had to
- 34:05Speaker 2: go team up with this star player and big, big
- 34:08Speaker 2: name players they actually get it.
- 34:10Speaker 5: I think now probably you know, getting to get more rings,
- 34:13Speaker 5: especially with him getting a little bit older, like you said,
- 34:15Speaker 5: being thirteen years in the league, it would definitely help
- 34:18Speaker 5: him to go that route and actually maybe team up
- 34:21Speaker 5: with other big name players to get more rings, because
- 34:24Speaker 5: that's probably going to build to boost him up more
- 34:26Speaker 5: so than it would detract.
- 34:29Speaker 2: From his legacy.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, that was a great white Yeah yeah, so
- 34:35Speaker 1: good banter around Giannis. That was your top dog going
- 34:40Speaker 1: in the Week fourteen. I ain't gonna lie. I went
- 34:44Speaker 1: with Jamal murray Man. Yeah, you know, you know, it's
- 34:49Speaker 1: funny because he told his acl I think it was
- 34:54Speaker 1: the end of the twenty pointy one season, so he
- 34:57Speaker 1: missed all of twenty twenty one and twenty two, and
- 35:01Speaker 1: it seemed like now he's all the way back and
- 35:06Speaker 1: entering the prime in history twenty eight.
- 35:09Speaker 2: So he looked like, oh yeah, the true prime of
- 35:13Speaker 2: his career. Oh yeah, no, no, you're right, you're right.
- 35:16Speaker 2: I agree.
- 35:18Speaker 3: I think like I said, I think that uh as
- 35:21Speaker 3: good as he is, he's if you ever watched when
- 35:24Speaker 3: you watch him play, and I hate it as a
- 35:26Speaker 3: Laker fan, especially in the past couple of years when
- 35:27Speaker 3: they used.
- 35:28Speaker 2: To take us out of the playoffs.
- 35:31Speaker 3: He was the big reason for it at the very
- 35:32Speaker 3: beginning when we won in the bubble, it was it
- 35:37Speaker 3: was because it was the Lakers were were able to
- 35:41Speaker 3: double team what's to call it, made him and made
- 35:44Speaker 3: him have to shoot the ball. Now, you don't want
- 35:46Speaker 3: him cooking, because he's gonna cook, and he's going to
- 35:49Speaker 3: he's going to like take he's going to pretty much
- 35:51Speaker 3: snatch your heart out.
- 35:52Speaker 2: So he's definitely, like you said it, being two years,
- 35:54Speaker 2: three years, two plus years removed from the A c L.
- 35:57Speaker 2: You know, I turned my a CL and I'm still
- 35:59Speaker 2: still paying for it. I'm still paying for it.
- 36:01Speaker 3: So yeah, So I can only imagine with him, especially
- 36:04Speaker 3: with all the you know, the work and all that
- 36:06Speaker 3: he put in.
- 36:07Speaker 2: He definitely looks healthier. Build's healthier.
- 36:10Speaker 3: Also that I think that team dynamic with him, you know,
- 36:13Speaker 3: with them getting rid of some of the issues that
- 36:14Speaker 3: they had last year, some of the players I wanted
- 36:16Speaker 3: to be there and all that I think they're playing.
- 36:19Speaker 3: I think he's also he seems like he's in a
- 36:21Speaker 3: happy space with Jokic with there and the two way
- 36:23Speaker 3: that team is looking.
- 36:25Speaker 2: So I can definitely understand why you would you would.
- 36:28Speaker 3: Have Jamal Murray as a top dog because he is
- 36:31Speaker 3: cooking right now and there with that team, what are they.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Their number three three in the in the West. They
- 36:40Speaker 2: four game win streak last ten, seven.
- 36:42Speaker 1: And three, and with Yogi's being out, Jamal Murray been
- 36:47Speaker 1: the top fantasy scored like over the last fifteen days.
- 36:52Speaker 2: So you know he got it on his mind right now.
- 36:55Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, he does. He really does. Yeah, he
- 36:59Speaker 2: really does, you know. And I think the way that
- 37:02Speaker 2: I love the way that they play, you know, you know,
- 37:05Speaker 2: they I think both of them are just unselfish enough
- 37:08Speaker 2: to feed each other.
- 37:09Speaker 3: And and I think that I think he plays that
- 37:13Speaker 3: way because tells hell, go ahead and take us there,
- 37:16Speaker 3: do this.
- 37:16Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I think Jamal is smart enough.
- 37:19Speaker 3: I think maybe with that a cl injury has kind
- 37:21Speaker 3: of showed him, Hey, Jo Kich is that guy, So
- 37:25Speaker 3: playoff of him, well, pick and rolls, you know, yeah.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Picking pop go out here.
- 37:30Speaker 3: And I think it's defense has actually stepped up a
- 37:32Speaker 3: little bit too since the injury.
- 37:35Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's a good point. So yeah, that was
- 37:39Speaker 1: our top dogs. Justin had Giannis, I had Jamal and Mary.
- 37:43Speaker 1: They've both been on the burner all season. Uh, y'all
- 37:46Speaker 1: tap in and the chat comments, you know, hashtags sports fantasy,
- 37:51Speaker 1: you know, let us know who your top dog is
- 37:54Speaker 1: for the going to the week fourteen and moving forward. Yeah,
- 37:58Speaker 1: so we're gonna keep it pushing to this end his
- 38:00Speaker 1: on sleeper pick. You know, we're trying to find somebody
- 38:03Speaker 1: who's under twenty five percent roster who could swing a
- 38:06Speaker 1: category or swing a week for you, help you get
- 38:09Speaker 1: a dub in these fantasy games. Justin I'm gonna swing
- 38:12Speaker 1: it back to you. Who's you're in the zone sleeper
- 38:16Speaker 1: pit for a week four all right, So I'm gonna sorry,
- 38:20Speaker 1: I kind of cheated a little bit. Mine is He's
- 38:23Speaker 1: actually not.
- 38:23Speaker 3: He's just a smidge above twenty five percent, So I know,
- 38:26Speaker 3: he said, under, I'm I'm to go with you know,
- 38:30Speaker 3: being in San Antonio, I have to go with the
- 38:31Speaker 3: San Antonio.
- 38:32Speaker 2: Rookie right now, Dylan Hupper.
- 38:35Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he's at So he's been averaging for
- 38:40Speaker 3: twenty six point nine fantasy points.
- 38:43Speaker 2: But like I said, he's been, Yeah, he's been, he's been.
- 38:48Speaker 3: He's been playing really really well obviously with that team,
- 38:51Speaker 3: those first team looks really really good they're number two
- 38:54Speaker 3: in the West, and I think they're the biggest threat
- 38:56Speaker 3: to the Thunder and it's because of players like like
- 39:00Speaker 3: Dylan Harper.
- 39:01Speaker 2: Yes, he doesn't always have the most.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Points because of how stacked that team is, but as
- 39:05Speaker 3: a rookie and just his usage and the way that
- 39:08Speaker 3: they play with him, he does a lot of a
- 39:11Speaker 3: little thing and you could tell the way that they're
- 39:13Speaker 3: coaching him.
- 39:14Speaker 2: You know, obviously with his.
- 39:15Speaker 3: Dad, you know, played in played in the league. You know,
- 39:19Speaker 3: him being a rookie, he doesn't play like a rookie.
- 39:21Speaker 3: He plays really well rounded and you coun tell that
- 39:24Speaker 3: coaching and it definitely shows up with his fans consistency
- 39:27Speaker 3: of Fantasy points, you know. You know, I think because
- 39:30Speaker 3: he's on the Spurs and because of San Antonio, a
- 39:33Speaker 3: lot of people don't a lot of people outside of
- 39:35Speaker 3: San Antonio, maybe even outside of sports don't, I mean
- 39:38Speaker 3: outside of NBA don't really don't really know about him,
- 39:41Speaker 3: or you know, I really think he's gonna do anything.
- 39:44Speaker 3: But I really love the way Dylan Harper has been playing,
- 39:49Speaker 3: especially more recently too. I think he's going to definitely
- 39:53Speaker 3: be one of those in his own lock picks. You
- 39:56Speaker 3: know for uh for fantasy. Yeah, I know, I supposed
- 40:00Speaker 3: to be on the twenty five, but I think he's.
- 40:01Speaker 1: Been Yeah yeah, I mean that's why they're available, you know,
- 40:05Speaker 1: which is say twenty five percent, yeah over.
- 40:08Speaker 2: TWI yeah, he's twenty five point six right now.
- 40:13Speaker 1: But yeah, so yeah, he wildly available, and that number
- 40:18Speaker 1: probably went down from earlier in the year. I know
- 40:20Speaker 1: he had missed a little time, but since he came back,
- 40:22Speaker 1: I saw hooping, uh yeah. And then with women in
- 40:26Speaker 1: and out the lineup, I'm sure that created more opportunities
- 40:29Speaker 1: for him. Castle been hooping, even Kelden Johnson been hooping.
- 40:34Speaker 1: So yeah, you're right, the Spurs they got something brewing.
- 40:38Speaker 1: And it's crazy to me, right because the Spurs got
- 40:42Speaker 1: Wenby but this year three for Weinnby yep, year three
- 40:45Speaker 1: for Winby. So they got him number one to uh three,
- 40:49Speaker 1: I guess three years ago, three years ago, and then
- 40:52Speaker 1: Dylan Harper was the number two pick and last.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Draft last year draft yep. So clearly the talent there,
- 40:59Speaker 2: he's really liked it.
- 41:01Speaker 3: Yeah, and most and the crazy again, most people don't
- 41:02Speaker 3: realize that that Spurs team. So the last two rookie
- 41:06Speaker 3: of the years, if you know it came from the Spurs.
- 41:09Speaker 3: It was obviously Wenby his first year and then uh
- 41:12Speaker 3: I think Castle last.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Year was the Castle uh uh not remember, but it
- 41:19Speaker 2: was yeah, so the last Yeah, obviously I think it
- 41:24Speaker 2: was Castle last year.
- 41:27Speaker 3: But but yeah, no, like and I think that's where
- 41:30Speaker 3: it goes to that coaching of the Spurs, you know,
- 41:33Speaker 3: developing their players and then also who they got, that
- 41:36Speaker 3: veteran presidence that they have be in there. So I
- 41:39Speaker 3: think that's definitely pushing them to compete.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Yo.
- 41:46Speaker 1: Even realized that Spurs got the last two rookie of
- 41:50Speaker 1: the years.
- 41:51Speaker 2: That's crazy. And then like I said, Dylan Hopper, like
- 41:54Speaker 2: I said, so he got hurt, so I definitely.
- 41:56Speaker 3: And then also just with the minutes and stuff like that,
- 41:58Speaker 3: it's kind of really hard for him to compete.
- 42:00Speaker 2: Against someone like a Cooper Flag. But I'm not gonna lie.
- 42:04Speaker 3: If you look at his minutes compared to a Cooper Flag,
- 42:07Speaker 3: the production is there, right is right there, Cooper Flag
- 42:11Speaker 3: is most likely gonna get it obviously, or you know
- 42:14Speaker 3: someone who's playing a lot more minutes, getting a lot
- 42:16Speaker 3: more points, a lot more usage rate and stuff like that. Also,
- 42:21Speaker 3: you know, Cooper Flag is doing a lot more with less,
- 42:25Speaker 3: so obviously that's gonna play as well.
- 42:26Speaker 2: But but I think Dylan Harper definitely has been looking really,
- 42:29Speaker 2: really really good as well for the Spurs.
- 42:33Speaker 1: And yeah, I think what's gonna benefit Cooper flag with
- 42:36Speaker 1: the voters is how banged up the MAVs being like
- 42:40Speaker 1: they not the lineup, So that's yeah, change for Cooper,
- 42:44Speaker 1: So I think that's probably gonna help him and his
- 42:46Speaker 1: numbers do support it though he is. Oh yeah, well, man,
- 42:52Speaker 1: I did not realize the Spurs had the last two
- 42:55Speaker 1: Rickie of the years.
- 42:55Speaker 2: That's crazy, that's insane being in San Antonio. And that said,
- 42:59Speaker 2: I can't I'm sure they don't let you forget it
- 43:02Speaker 2: being out there.
- 43:05Speaker 1: I remember living out there. Them Spurs fans, they passionate.
- 43:08Speaker 2: Yeah, yes they are, Yes they are. They're gonna let
- 43:11Speaker 2: you know what they're gonna tell you. Man. Also, them
- 43:13Speaker 2: tickets is not cheap anymore, so get better I can imagine. Hey,
- 43:18Speaker 2: but I ain't a lie. They arena like the energy
- 43:21Speaker 2: in the arena. Oh yeah, I ain't lie.
- 43:24Speaker 1: I hate the Spurs, but it's one of the funnest
- 43:27Speaker 1: NBA experiences I've had.
- 43:29Speaker 3: Though it's good they're moving downtown, so they're gonna be
- 43:33Speaker 3: in a couple of years, so it's definitely gonna be.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Even even better.
- 43:38Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So Dylan Harper in his own sleeper pick,
- 43:42Speaker 1: that's a great one. I went with the old dog,
- 43:45Speaker 1: the o G. Clay Thompson.
- 43:47Speaker 2: Okay, from my mass he twenty four point.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Six percent rosted. He only getting eighteen fantasy points on
- 43:54Speaker 1: the season. On the average in twenty two minutes, theyvin points,
- 43:57Speaker 1: two point four rebounds, one point four sister. He making
- 44:00Speaker 1: almost three threes a game for the season, and he
- 44:04Speaker 1: got four games this week. You know what I'm saying.
- 44:06Speaker 1: They play in New York in the Garden. He played
- 44:09Speaker 1: the Warriors, so he got a good week. You know
- 44:12Speaker 1: what I'm saying, to go crazy this week. So he
- 44:15Speaker 1: got some stuff that's in his favor. So that was
- 44:16Speaker 1: Miadis sleeper peak for Week fourteen. Clay Toms Okay, yeah, no,
- 44:21Speaker 1: I like I like Clay obviously.
- 44:23Speaker 2: You know it's mama call him play, So I'm gonna
- 44:24Speaker 2: call him Clay. He's I think he's consistent. I think
- 44:28Speaker 2: he's very consistent. You know. I know we talk about
- 44:32Speaker 2: the team being injured and stuff like that with them,
- 44:34Speaker 2: but with them having.
- 44:35Speaker 3: Those four games that week next week, I think it's
- 44:37Speaker 3: going to be a great opportunity.
- 44:39Speaker 2: You know, people people sleep like Clay can still shoot.
- 44:42Speaker 2: Clay is not dead.
- 44:44Speaker 3: I know he's not with the Warriors team and the
- 44:45Speaker 3: Mavericks aren't as good as they were and it's mainly
- 44:49Speaker 3: because of injuries.
- 44:50Speaker 2: But Clay still plays. Clay still can shoot. Clay still
- 44:55Speaker 2: can shoot.
- 44:56Speaker 3: You know, it's put in the right situations, and I
- 44:58Speaker 3: think with these four games this week, it's it's gonna show,
- 45:01Speaker 3: especially for Fantasy, you know, and I will I can
- 45:05Speaker 3: no most guarantee.
- 45:06Speaker 2: That those points are going to go up.
- 45:08Speaker 3: Fantasy points this week especially probably gonna go up for
- 45:10Speaker 3: him if he plays all four games. I think that's
- 45:14Speaker 3: a really good I think that's a really good in
- 45:16Speaker 3: the zone pick. Yeah, for for the you know, for
- 45:19Speaker 3: the old man now quote unquote yeah.
- 45:22Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 45:25Speaker 1: So that's the end the zone lock pick. You know,
- 45:27Speaker 1: we try to find go. I think everybody know about
- 45:30Speaker 1: Clay Thompson, but I think this week he got a
- 45:32Speaker 1: good opportunity. I think everybody know about Harper, but we
- 45:36Speaker 1: know the young boy got more to dude, he got
- 45:40Speaker 1: and you know, Rickys, they get better as the year
- 45:42Speaker 1: go on too, so they always start to look better
- 45:45Speaker 1: at you know, certain points of the year. So that
- 45:47Speaker 1: was the two in the zone sleeper picks. Uh, you know,
- 45:51Speaker 1: make sure y'all tap in, you know, let us know
- 45:53Speaker 1: who y'all got for the sleeper pick.
- 45:55Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 45:56Speaker 1: So next up is this this our last segment before
- 46:00Speaker 1: we get into our community debate. This our Hustle's Energy
- 46:03Speaker 1: Locked pick of the week.
- 46:04Speaker 2: The people who you guarantee a gonna pop?
- 46:07Speaker 1: Uh, you know who's pretty much like the top dog
- 46:12Speaker 1: you ready to you know, throw a way to keep
- 46:14Speaker 1: with the lot, you know what I mean.
- 46:15Speaker 2: So I'm gonna jump in there, my pig. I got
- 46:18Speaker 2: him on my my fantasy squad, Tyrese Max.
- 46:21Speaker 1: He's second at his position, fifty five point one fantasy
- 46:24Speaker 1: points a game, thirty eight minutes, twenty nine point eight points,
- 46:28Speaker 1: four point three rebounds, six and a half assists, almost
- 46:31Speaker 1: two steals, almost a block. He even got four game
- 46:35Speaker 1: scheduled in Week fourteen. Pacers, Sons, Rockets, Knicks. You know
- 46:39Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Feel it to me, that's his team now,
- 46:43Speaker 1: like you know, I think, Yeah, I think that's team.
- 46:47Speaker 2: Oh, easily easily easily Yeah, no, Yeah, he's definitely. I
- 46:53Speaker 2: mean he's just he's just hustled. He'd be moving, you know,
- 46:58Speaker 2: it's not like.
- 47:01Speaker 3: I think, like you said, with it being his team now,
- 47:05Speaker 3: I think when most people realizing that, yeah, that that
- 47:08Speaker 3: uh you know, the what's the call waiting on what's
- 47:11Speaker 3: his name? I think with it being Maxi's team is
- 47:14Speaker 3: definitely going to be Yeah, it's obviously gonna be some struggles,
- 47:18Speaker 3: but I think the team wise, but I think with
- 47:20Speaker 3: Tyree's Maxley being that actual center of attention, I think
- 47:25Speaker 3: if the other players that are coming up are going
- 47:27Speaker 3: to see his hustle, it's definitely going to be infectious
- 47:30Speaker 3: for the other players. You know, having Joel ol mb
- 47:33Speaker 3: there before and stuff like that, we could see he's
- 47:36Speaker 3: on the back end. It's over with him.
- 47:39Speaker 2: But that the processes that was quick, that was that
- 47:46Speaker 2: was he couldn't stay. That's the only and that's and
- 47:50Speaker 2: that's been the that's been the issue with them because
- 47:53Speaker 2: what where are they? Where are they at? Seventy six
- 47:57Speaker 2: is number six, they're six in the East actually, so.
- 48:00Speaker 3: You mm hmm, yeah, So I think Tyree's match, like
- 48:05Speaker 3: you said, fifty five point one fantasy points.
- 48:08Speaker 2: That's a you know, that's a lot. You know, that's
- 48:10Speaker 2: a lot. Like you said, that's bad, that's just screams lock. Yeah,
- 48:15Speaker 2: I think that's a really good that's a good lot.
- 48:17Speaker 2: You know, obviously one hundred percent roster as well. So yeah,
- 48:22Speaker 2: that's a good, great, great pickup for I mean our
- 48:24Speaker 2: great uh lock for that one. Yes, sir, yes, sir,
- 48:29Speaker 2: who you got from your lot? All right, So I
- 48:32Speaker 2: mean obviously recency bias.
- 48:34Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Anthony Edwards. Okay, I'm gonna go
- 48:39Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards. He just he just had fifty five points,
- 48:42Speaker 3: a career high in his last.
- 48:44Speaker 2: Game, so, which is crazy. Got my head off when
- 48:47Speaker 2: I saw it. I was like, that's that's his career Hi,
- 48:48Speaker 2: it's fifty five. I him.
- 48:50Speaker 3: I'm always thinking sixty with a lot of the way
- 48:52Speaker 3: these people have been playing nowadays, but fifty five is
- 48:54Speaker 3: his career high. They got great three game stretch this week.
- 48:58Speaker 3: They're playing Utah, Milwaukee, and Shicago. And Utah is what
- 49:02Speaker 3: thirteenth in the Western Conference, Milwaukee's eleventh in the.
- 49:05Speaker 2: Eastern Conference, and Chicago's ninth in the Eastern Conference. I'm
- 49:09Speaker 2: not gonna lie. I feel like there's gonna be games.
- 49:11Speaker 3: Yes, I know, Anthony Edwards just came off, just came
- 49:13Speaker 3: out of injury, and they maybe took it as some
- 49:15Speaker 3: minutes restrictions, but no one.
- 49:17Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards been twenty three, twenty four.
- 49:19Speaker 3: He's young, he's gonna be he's gonna want to play,
- 49:22Speaker 3: and he's probably gonna want to try to repeat that
- 49:25Speaker 3: fifty five.
- 49:26Speaker 2: Point game that he just got. If not trying to
- 49:28Speaker 2: be close. I know Fantasy, he's been averaging about forty
- 49:33Speaker 2: seven forty seven point two points per game in Fantasy,
- 49:37Speaker 2: so thirty five minutes a game.
- 49:40Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be one of those. For me,
- 49:43Speaker 3: he would be a good lock obviously one hundred percent
- 49:44Speaker 3: roster as well, so.
- 49:47Speaker 2: That seemed like he would have had fifty five already.
- 49:51Speaker 2: That's that's how I felt to when I saw it.
- 49:53Speaker 2: They said career high.
- 49:53Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, it seems like it seems like
- 49:56Speaker 1: he had fifty five. Now that's crazy, but you can't
- 50:00Speaker 1: go wrong with eds though you're a dog. Yeah, so yeah,
- 50:05Speaker 1: you can't go wrong with that. That was our hustles
- 50:07Speaker 1: in at your locked pick. I had Tyrese MAXI just
- 50:10Speaker 1: in time had Anthony Edwards, y'all tap in, let us
- 50:13Speaker 1: know who y'all are.
- 50:15Speaker 2: Let's know.
- 50:16Speaker 1: All right, So here we at the end our fantasy
- 50:19Speaker 1: community debate. I'm gonna throw a couple of questions.
- 50:21Speaker 2: Answer. Let me know your opinion on it, all right?
- 50:25Speaker 1: How long should I hold on the end of Stars
- 50:28Speaker 1: if I'm sitting outside the playoff picture?
- 50:32Speaker 2: Ooh, how long should I sit on?
- 50:36Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie to you that All Star Breaker
- 50:39Speaker 3: is usually the thing for me, I would say, right like,
- 50:42Speaker 3: if you're not looking at training someone by the All
- 50:45Speaker 3: Star Breaker during the All Star break, I would try
- 50:48Speaker 3: to trade them before. Honestly, I wouldn't hold onto them
- 50:51Speaker 3: too much longer because I mean, especially if they already hurt.
- 50:53Speaker 2: You throughout the season to put you in that seaton
- 50:55Speaker 2: to where you're at, You're not where you want to be.
- 50:57Speaker 3: Hide enough season, Like I said, I go back on
- 51:00Speaker 3: here and relook at what we just talked about, and
- 51:02Speaker 3: look at some of those good ones that we have
- 51:04Speaker 3: out there, those good people that that roster on rostered high,
- 51:08Speaker 3: that are low percentage of roster.
- 51:10Speaker 2: But I know so like for someone like John Morant,
- 51:14Speaker 2: I would definitely I don't see that situation getting better,
- 51:18Speaker 2: and I think he's sitting a little bit more based
- 51:20Speaker 2: more than just injury obviously.
- 51:23Speaker 3: So so people like joh I would definitely, uh, if
- 51:26Speaker 3: I didn't know, if I didn't have him already, I
- 51:28Speaker 3: would definitely try to use him as good trade bait
- 51:32Speaker 3: to get some decent pieces from other people. Hopefully someone
- 51:36Speaker 3: can see the name and not realize the situation and
- 51:38Speaker 3: be like, oh, that's job morant, let me get him.
- 51:42Speaker 1: Hopefully they see John saying, hey, he about to get traded, then.
- 51:47Speaker 2: Get him now before trade. That's true. It definitely could
- 51:52Speaker 2: help you move on and build your team up. Yeah,
- 51:55Speaker 2: that's true. That's true. Yeah, So how would who who
- 51:59Speaker 2: would you? How about you? Would you say? I don't know,
- 52:04Speaker 2: because I don't know.
- 52:08Speaker 1: I think it's situational, right, because I scooped Jason Tatum. Yeah, anyway,
- 52:14Speaker 1: I might have scooped him the beginning of December and
- 52:17Speaker 1: he been in.
- 52:17Speaker 2: My hour spot. Now.
- 52:19Speaker 1: I did see a tweet where they were saying he
- 52:21Speaker 1: might could play like in the January early February. The
- 52:25Speaker 1: ESPN got him in April first, and it's been April
- 52:29Speaker 1: first all year.
- 52:31Speaker 2: I think I think it just depends on the situation.
- 52:34Speaker 1: Like if you if you start hearing more and more
- 52:37Speaker 1: chatter or nowadays in this era of seeing more and
- 52:40Speaker 1: more big workout videos, maybe you maybe want to hold
- 52:46Speaker 1: But if you ain't hearing nothing or you know it
- 52:49Speaker 1: ain't changing, you might want to.
- 52:53Speaker 2: You know, you might want to get off of him.
- 52:55Speaker 1: So I think it's just I guess the best answer,
- 52:58Speaker 1: and I know, you know, yeah, the best answer would
- 53:02Speaker 1: be it depends.
- 53:04Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I definitely. I mean, I'm not gonna lie
- 53:07Speaker 2: to you. If that's a great if you have him
- 53:10Speaker 2: in your i R, that's a win.
- 53:14Speaker 3: Because if he does good, but if he doesn't, he's
- 53:17Speaker 3: in your ir so he's not hurting the team anyway.
- 53:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 53:22Speaker 1: Yeah, so you can make a judgment. Yeah, you can
- 53:27Speaker 1: make a judgment. Car, So yeah, I would say it
- 53:30Speaker 1: just depends. So I know you say, all start break.
- 53:34Speaker 1: I know it depends as a cop out answer, but
- 53:36Speaker 1: I do think it just depends on the situation. Like
- 53:39Speaker 1: whereas job, you know, you might want to trade him
- 53:43Speaker 1: because you might can get something good for him. Yeah,
- 53:45Speaker 1: you know, you know, so Yeah, I just think it
- 53:48Speaker 1: just depends on the situation, what they got going on.
- 53:52Speaker 1: If you make a move or that.
- 53:53Speaker 2: So my next question go ahead. Oh no, yeah, I
- 53:56Speaker 2: was gonna say, I think that's a good one. I
- 53:58Speaker 2: was gonna I was just gonna.
- 53:58Speaker 3: Also say all Star break or trade deadline actual NBA
- 54:02Speaker 3: trade deadline probably be the best time to look at
- 54:05Speaker 3: that too.
- 54:06Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 54:07Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point because people be on
- 54:09Speaker 1: the move all the time.
- 54:11Speaker 2: Yeah. So who's the.
- 54:13Speaker 1: Most underrated big man in fantasy right now? And are
- 54:17Speaker 1: they must starting off formats most.
- 54:20Speaker 2: Underrated big man? Oh that's a good one, you are.
- 54:26Speaker 2: Do you mind taking that one first? So there's a
- 54:29Speaker 2: couple of them I'll be thinking about.
- 54:30Speaker 1: But min ain't gonna lie my underrated big man. And
- 54:36Speaker 1: it's not a crazy name. But I like Jay Huff
- 54:40Speaker 1: from the Pacers.
- 54:42Speaker 2: Yep is a good one. Definitely good one. I was
- 54:45Speaker 2: that YEP I had. Yeah, I like him.
- 54:48Speaker 1: Uh you know, I've mentioned him a few times on here,
- 54:51Speaker 1: but when you look at his numbers, he can shoot
- 54:54Speaker 1: the three bar, he defend the rim. He looked like
- 54:58Speaker 1: here a great paint finisher. You look like you just
- 55:01Speaker 1: do a little bit of everything. And then, like I said,
- 55:03Speaker 1: with the Pacier's injury situation, oh yeah, you know he
- 55:07Speaker 1: really he really hooping. You know, like I said, his
- 55:10Speaker 1: name ain't sexy. You know what he could do it
- 55:13Speaker 1: and that you need him to do as a big
- 55:16Speaker 1: to where you.
- 55:17Speaker 2: Can you like what he offered. Oh yeah, no, I'm
- 55:21Speaker 2: with you. I'm with you. I do like that.
- 55:22Speaker 3: It's funny because I had him on. He was actually
- 55:25Speaker 3: one of my he was gonna be one of my
- 55:27Speaker 3: top three that I was looking at, uh from the
- 55:30Speaker 3: very beginning of our segment, so I was in there.
- 55:32Speaker 2: But I definitely want to go with Bryce because I
- 55:34Speaker 2: think Bryce was cooking. But I definitely I do like that.
- 55:37Speaker 2: When I was gonna, I was thinking, uh, he was one.
- 55:41Speaker 3: And then also I'm thinking about Robert Williams, the third
- 55:44Speaker 3: over there with U with Portland.
- 55:46Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
- 55:47Speaker 2: So he's been you know, he's not like I said,
- 55:51Speaker 2: he's not the sexy pig. People don't really talk about him.
- 55:53Speaker 3: He used to be with them, used to be with
- 55:55Speaker 3: Boston and stuff like that. But even when he was
- 55:57Speaker 3: with Boston when they won that championship, he was a
- 55:59Speaker 3: big part of it. He's a big part of it.
- 56:02Speaker 3: You know that that that center he does, the dougy wort,
- 56:05Speaker 3: the little things the rebounds, you know, they're putting.
- 56:08Speaker 2: People in the right passes and stuff like that, not
- 56:11Speaker 2: being a liability.
- 56:13Speaker 3: Offensive liability like a lot of centers and up being
- 56:16Speaker 3: becoming in our defensive liability, but to pick and roll.
- 56:19Speaker 2: And stuff like that. So he's definitely, I think one
- 56:22Speaker 2: of those ones.
- 56:23Speaker 3: And Portland's been, you know, sneaky good, been sneaky good
- 56:27Speaker 3: this year. Yeah, especially after the news with Thompson, Billups
- 56:31Speaker 3: and all that. So Robert Williams I think is a
- 56:33Speaker 3: big part of that.
- 56:35Speaker 2: Yeah, the center.
- 56:36Speaker 1: I like Robert Williams. Man, he wanted, he wanted them
- 56:40Speaker 1: players you definitely want on your squad. You look at
- 56:43Speaker 1: like you say, when he was with Boston, just the
- 56:46Speaker 1: dirty work guy, the double you know, the rebounding, the
- 56:50Speaker 1: paint finisher, the paint protector.
- 56:53Speaker 2: He could do, he do with what you need your
- 56:55Speaker 2: big man to do. So yeah, I like that. Yeah.
- 56:58Speaker 2: I mentioned him actually too on an episode a while back.
- 57:03Speaker 1: It's a category specialist that you should check out. Robert Williams. Yeah,
- 57:07Speaker 1: I definitely like that one. That's a great one. So
- 57:11Speaker 1: that leads me to should I be more aggressive with
- 57:14Speaker 1: trades this late in the season or play the waiver
- 57:17Speaker 1: wire smarter.
- 57:20Speaker 2: Oh that's a good one. That's a good one. I'm
- 57:22Speaker 2: not gonna lie with I'm always iffy whatever trying to
- 57:26Speaker 2: make a trade for me. I'm always trying to feel
- 57:28Speaker 2: like I always in my head, my instinct is always
- 57:30Speaker 2: like you're trying to take advantage of me.
- 57:35Speaker 3: You do have to go back and look at it
- 57:37Speaker 3: to make sure that, you know, look at the look
- 57:39Speaker 3: at the trends, look at also think about why the
- 57:41Speaker 3: other person wants to trade.
- 57:42Speaker 2: With you or why you want to trade with somebody else. Times.
- 57:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the waiver wire. I love the waiver
- 57:48Speaker 3: wire a little bit more. I feel like that's more
- 57:51Speaker 3: control that you have over it. Yeah, so, you know,
- 57:57Speaker 3: but it does require a lot of research.
- 57:59Speaker 4: You know why this park, watching this podcast help you
- 58:02Speaker 4: out a little bit, please please, So, Yeah.
- 58:09Speaker 2: I like the waiver wire.
- 58:10Speaker 3: I think the waiver wire is better, you know, even
- 58:13Speaker 3: going back to fantasy football, you know with that end
- 58:15Speaker 3: with basketball, it definitely helps whenever, like you know, them
- 58:19Speaker 3: draft grades come out. This had just what you draft
- 58:21Speaker 3: is what you got. But the waiver wires were really
- 58:23Speaker 3: what win people championships. That's the big difference is you know,
- 58:27Speaker 3: understanding which players are trending where and catching it before
- 58:30Speaker 3: other people do.
- 58:31Speaker 2: Also getting rid of players before you know, when you
- 58:34Speaker 2: see them starting.
- 58:34Speaker 3: To trend down or starting to take down, you know,
- 58:36Speaker 3: that's where the if you see them starting to take
- 58:38Speaker 3: down but they've.
- 58:39Speaker 2: Been performing, well, that's where that the trades come in.
- 58:42Speaker 2: But honestly and truly, if you can waiver wire them
- 58:45Speaker 2: best things I would rather go. I'd go that route.
- 58:48Speaker 2: What would you think?
- 58:50Speaker 1: Uh, So I'm in a matchup right now. I was
- 58:54Speaker 1: up I think between two and three hundred all week
- 58:59Speaker 1: and as we said earth because Luca didn't play last
- 59:01Speaker 1: night now due and he now he was down like
- 59:06Speaker 1: I think he was down like fifty coming into today.
- 59:10Speaker 2: So I think if you can trade.
- 59:13Speaker 1: For more reliable players, I think, uh, trading this late
- 59:18Speaker 1: in the season could could benefit you if you could
- 59:21Speaker 1: trade because now now people finish start focusing on seeding
- 59:26Speaker 1: in playoff position. So if you can make a trade
- 59:30Speaker 1: for more available players that's reliable.
- 59:36Speaker 2: Yeah, but.
- 59:38Speaker 1: I played away a while, I stream, I max out
- 59:41Speaker 1: my matchup acquisition, you know what I'm saying. So I'm
- 59:44Speaker 1: picking up and dropping all week. So I do feel
- 59:47Speaker 1: like that can help you as well. I just I
- 59:51Speaker 1: just you know, if you're looking for like boom, like
- 59:55Speaker 1: somebody who can go crazy, you got probably got to
- 59:57Speaker 1: go to the trade trade market for that.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: But you're looking for stability, you can find that on
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: the wave or Okay, yeah, I agree with you.
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: I agree with you, and man, I think that's that's
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: a yeah, the way we are. I mean, the trades
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: are good. I'm also just I'm not gonna lie. I'm
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: kind of lary, especially with I know, people get upset
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: when they see that someone like the top seed going
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: into the playoffs and they trade with someone that's like
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: not in the that's in the losing bracket. I know,
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: people get upset with that. When trades happened, they're like,
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: oh man, that's red y'all cheating. So you know, I
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: can understand that, but that's that's that's that's how this happens.
- 1:00:32Speaker 3: That's that's how sports, that's how it is in real life.
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: We're so.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: Because most times the person that's at the bottom was
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: being sellers while the person that's competing are being biased.
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: So yeah, of course that's the best person to do
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: a deal with. You first, the guy who ain't winning
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: because you know he's looking to sell.
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: Yeah, typically any oh yeah, yeah yeah.
- 1:00:59Speaker 3: But you know, now I would just tell most of
- 1:01:00Speaker 3: the people though that that are in fantasy sports just
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: may just you know.
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: Understand what your league rules are. Understand what your league.
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: Rules are, so that you know, I know, I know
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: for Fantasy football and some other leagues I was in.
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: They you know, whenever there's a trade, we all have
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: to vote on it, so to approve it or not.
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: So, but just be mindful of that. If you can
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: do without it, that's the best way. Any trade.
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: I'm a commission I approve, I'll trade if you do
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: a dumk trade.
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: That's that's all. That's all. That's all. I agree, I agree,
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: I agree. Yeah.
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: So, so which waiver pickups had the best shot of
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: becoming a playoff game changer right now?
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: Which waiver pickups who, like I said, I.
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: Look at someone like like a like I said, like
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: a bright and all, someone that you see that's been
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: playing for them, that's been playing the whole game the younger.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: But it's consistent.
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: The teams may not look I mean the absolute the
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: actual their team may not be winning or may not be,
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: but if their performance, you know, rebounds, assist if they're
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: being used properly, or you see that their users rate
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: is going up with a lot.
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: Of things, their defensive ability is up.
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: I would look at people like that that would definitely
- 1:02:25Speaker 3: on the way rewired to to help boost my playoff push,
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: because yes, they may not make the playoffs them, that
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: team may not make the playoffs for them in the NBA,
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: but for fantasy, it's not about them making the playoffs.
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: It's about how they how that player performs for you
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: to win your check.
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: We get that chip, so absolutely, Uh yeah, I ain't
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: gonna lie for me. Players like Royce O'Neill I've been
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: streaming all season.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: Oh yeah, some of them.
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the Pacers we mentioned, uh
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: Jay Huff players Walker, Uh like situations like that. I
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: guess you can't. I wouldn't name a specific player. Yeah,
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: the situations like that where they banged up. You know
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: what I'm saying that people, uh not some new blood
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: getting some opportunity that probably wouldn't have got it if the.
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: Vets was there. Uh that guy, you know what I mean?
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: I agree, I think that guy can help you with
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: your playoff push in your fantasy season season, But uh,
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: I don't think there's a lot of like super like
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: boom players left. I think sense of All looked like
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: he might be one.
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: I did a piece on Bryce McGowan's from the Pelicans,
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: feel like he might be a boom piece. But for
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: the most part, though, I feel that I really feel
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: like a lot of the people, it's pretty set unless
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: there's an injury or opportunity situation changed.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I would go with. Yep, I agree,
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: I agree.
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: I mean I would also even I'm not even gonna lie,
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: I would be if I if I'm using that.
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: Waiver wire, especially towards the end. Towards the end of
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: the season.
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: Look at who's probably not making the playoffs and what
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: players that they because you know that's when they start
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: pulling from the G League, pulling players up.
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: Look who's been cooking in the G League.
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: Watch a lot of that stuff to see who's who
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: is coming up, because what's gonna happen. It's gonna be
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: the ones that you don't realize are going to be.
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: Towards the end of the season, when some teams are
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: already cool, they already got the top three or four seed.
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: One two three seed, and they may start coasting a
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: little bit more, and i'd say not taking games off
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: of coasting, and then you'll see all a little younger
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: other players coming in from from those teams that probably
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: aren't making the playoffs that you see start making making
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: pushes and start playing really well.
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: So yeah, I definitely agree with that. It's not really
