  Speaker 1: All systems going clear, were lifting? What is going on?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Shipping Nation YouTube station. We're back with another edition of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the NBA Show. It's your boy Ham in the Sea.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Got my boys Rio riding shotgun with me super close
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the other night, Rio second place finish. We've got a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: great group in here listening to us. Hope everybody had
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a good week out there. Rio, I gotta I gotta
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: tell you something, man. I was in Phoenix this week,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the West Coast, the best coast. Then I visit my
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: boy title, but I wrote in a Waimo for the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: first time ever, a little little driverless car out there.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It's kind of freaky at first, but man, that's the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: new wave. Love me a Waimo. What's going on, man,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: how's your week been?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Tell me about your second place finish and how's everything
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: else going.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: First of all, I'm a little disappointed to hear that
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: you're supporting Weimo and all these high tech companies. Now
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I'm anti anti future, anti robots. I don't like that stuff.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm all about robots, robot umpires, robot referees, get
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: all that. That makes me so mad when they make
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the mistakes.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Sorry to interrupt you, No, that's all good.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: We're just getting further away from just humans, I guess
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: in general being they're just obsolete now. But yeah, it's
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: way sketchy exactly. Yeah, I talked about the second place
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: finish on Tuesdays. You always need a lot to go
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: your way when you get up to you know, the
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: top one percent of teams lineups and tournaments. So obviously
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: would have loved to come away with the extra seventy
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: five thousand, but you never mitt about twenty five thousand.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I've had a lot of swings like that. Some will
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: go your way someone, so it's it's totally fine.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Nika's sharp in their ais where it's at, Man,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: we can't be having rio. Where do you stand on abs,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: automatic balls and strikes.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I'd rather just have them have like the challenge the
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: tab Yeah, keep the keep the humps. But I like
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: how they had all the challenges and the yeah, like
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: all the cameras and stuff where you can challenge plays.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm more for that. I just you gotta have.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: A little bit of human mistakes in sports.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I think there we go two weeks ago we had
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the birds, now we got the dogs. Who's it gonna
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: be next. We got everybody in the chat. Let's say
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: hello to them. Go collects in here. Para Bay nikas
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: alluded to earlier, Para Bay talking all of these Brooklyn
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: nets came, wait to see that a Z Bob, Mister Jersey,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Mike's in here. What's going on? Jason Michael Dubbs, Avery's
• 3:05

• 3:13
  Speaker 1: My guy new it's new. Ones just came to hear
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: me talk about Giannie. He's gonna get there in a minute, Gangreen,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: As always, we certainly appreciate you tuning in. Hit that like,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: hit that subscribe button. There's eleven games tonight in the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: National Basketball Association. We're gonna be breaking down the first
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: nine of those. You got the other two to talk
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: about on fan Duel, but Rio, we're gonna get right
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: into it. First game up on the slate, we got
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the Celtics, still know Jason Tatum taking on the Magic.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: No major injuries for the Magic. Mo Wagner is still
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: out for them. But talk to me a little bit
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: about this game. Jaylen Brown's been playing very good as
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of late. Magic slowly starting to gel together. They got
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the Trio the Big Three now. But talk to me
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: a little about this game Boston at Orlando.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot to mention at the top of the
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: show that this is a NBA Cup day, so things
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: are a little bit different with the rotations and you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: just the way that teams will play it, and I
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: think gets a little bit more serious in the next
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: two weeks, just with you know, having to make up
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and separated from like a point differential standpoint. But teams
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: will definitely look to run up to score a little
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: bit during these games, so definitely keep that in mind
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: when you're looking to choose players.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: For your lineups. Yeah, this game is is all right.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I could see this one playing more to the under
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: I think that you know, at Orlando playing a little
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: bit faster games. The game environments have been solid, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: they do have some kind of big defensive holes right now,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: just not playing as good defense becaus they were last season,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: especially with their rim defense. But they're always a pretty
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: big pick and roll funnel. They just have, you know,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: they got Jalen Stuggs out there and they'll just leave
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: them on the island. So the guards for Boston I
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: think are in a pretty good spot here. Just guards
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: in general have been pretty good against the Magic, so
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of I'm with you on the Jalen Brown thing.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: He's been playing pretty good the last few games.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Was all the Boston guys were really on their way
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: to a massive game against Washington before the blowout, was
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: looking really good with the Cada call. In that game
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: he was. He had his best game of the season,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: so very happy with the outcome there. But Jaylen Brown
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: is definitely guy that I think I want. He's just
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: had a really good role. Actually leads the team in
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: pick and roll scoring, assist and he's also third in
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: touchdown so just had a really really solid role. And
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I think the eight point five K is a pretty
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: fair price tag for a guy with fifty plus point upside.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: So I think he's good, you know, coming into the
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: game in pretty good form after a few big games.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I think he's solid. Not playing Derek White right now,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: he's just shooting the ball terrible. I think he's like efficiency,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: why is the worst shooter in the NBA right now.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: He'll get it going eventually, but I'm gonna need to
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: wait and see it before spending upwards of seven K
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: for a guy that's shooting this poorly, and kind of
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the same thing for Prichard, he's a little suprisy for
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: a game environment like this. I'm okay just getting to
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Jalen Brown in terms of the spend up guys, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: then you should definitely be keeping Kida in your playpool
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: just because he is a pretty strong, permanent guy, was
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: trending for pretty high minutes in that last game, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: if Boston does care about the NBA Cup, they'll probably
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: want to win this game in a big way. So
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I think Kida would be a guy that they turned
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: too for maybe upwards of like twenty five to twenty
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: eight minutes. A value play that I'm gonna be keeping
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: my player bowl as well. Though, as Anthony Simons, four
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: point five K is a really good price tag for him.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: He was normally in like the low five K range
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: to start the season, but now he's sub five K.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Four point five K is a good price sage for
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: a guy that can get hot in that six men role,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: and like I said, guards are really where you want
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: to attack Orlando, So I think he's pretty solid, but
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: definitely a Max two spot for Boston and for the Magic.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Side, I don't really like these guys at all. I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: think the price tags are a little bit too expensive.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Matchup wise, it would be the best for Bain, just
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: with the way that the Celtics give up a good
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: amount of three pointers. But he's shooting the ball really bad,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: almost as bad as Derek Whie. I think he' shooting
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: twenty eight percent from deep this season. The guy that
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: they brought in to really help in that area, he
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: just hasn't done it yet. But we know that he
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: is talented. Eventually he'll get it going, but he just
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: hasn't really shown enough for me to to want to
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: invest in him tonight. So I'm okay, not really get
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: into too much, Orlando. You can always meet the case
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: for polling fronds at these prices and with their potential upside,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: but I think there's way better spots on the slate
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: to attack.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent breakdown there. I agree with a lot of
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the things that you had to say. I struck a
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: nerve with the AI talk. Rio got a lot of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: AI buzz in there, So yeah, good stuff in there.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Let's move on to the next game over here on
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the Stone. We got the Cavs. We're gonna let him
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: know something tonight, who's talking trash to Donovan Mitchell in
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the two K streets taking on the Wizards, Keyshawn George
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and late add to the I think he's questionable. Rio
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: woke up with an illness, So any interest in some
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of those bench guys or stars for the Wizards to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: take his minutes. He's been playing well this year. Darius
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Garland his second game back, didn't do much in his
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: twenty six minutes the other night. DeAndre Hunter who missed
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the other night, he's back as well. The only guy's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: missing for or the uh the Cavs. You're still missing
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Max Strus and your boy Linzo Ball indeed Waiter out
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and then by Law COOLi Bali is officially out for
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: this Washington team. Talking about this game Cleveland at Washington.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I'm happy to hear you say my boy lones of Balks.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Actually I'm a big Lonzo Ball truther. I've always always
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: liked his game. Yeah, we gotta work on the pronunciations there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: you said, by Law and then Shawn George, I did
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: just learn today that it's it's kaishawan. I think it's
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: spelled that way, but you just think that it's keishawan.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: But you gotta work on the blow pronunciation for sure.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: By law Pal, Yeah exactly. Uh, he was is the
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: running back for the Jets back in the day, right,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's right, he had that he had that
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: stretch of a couple of good games, I think. But yeah,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: for this one, I think I last game for Cleveland,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I definitely underestimated or maybe over overstated the Darius Garland
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and Jared Allen returning to the lineup in terms of
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: taking away usage of guys if anything, is just gonna
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: make their offense better. Like this was a team that
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: was really struggling offensively leading AGAINSTO that last game. Obviously
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: playing Philadelphia does help because I just don't think that
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: they're really that great defensively, but adding a guy like
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Darius Garland where they really were missing some of that
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you call it, like the quarterback
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: of the offense.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Essentially really helped them.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: And then adding Jared Allen to add it to take
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: mobilely away from the center spot, putting back at the four,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I think definitely helped them overall offensively, and that led
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: to a huge game for Donovan Mitchell. Like you said,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: he was getting apparently trash talked on two K of
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: the night before, So it's got to have some years
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: in the on the online streets and the video games,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: I guess to know get those.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Type of narratives.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: But regardless of all that, like this is a good
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: spot for Cleveland here. Washington's one of the worst defenses
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: in the league, really just giving it up all over
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: the place. Their transition defense is really bad, and now
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: without Bali in there, they pretty much lose their only
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: good defensive player on the team. And like I said,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: with being an NBA Cup game, even with them the
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Cavs projected a win by double digit points, we could
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: see them run up the score, and maybe if we
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: get normal minutes from these guys, we could get some
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: outlier ceiling performances. But I really just like Donovan Mitchell
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: here a lot at nine K for the reasons mentioned.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: With no Kolabali and with how the the Washington Wizards
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: give up a ton of transition points, I just think
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: that it sets up really well for Donovan Mitchell here.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: And with Garland returning last game, his usage still held
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: up thirty three percent, let the team and assist in
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: that game as well. I think the numbers will start
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: to even out a little bit between him and Garland
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: as Garland does get healthy, but it's only a second
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: game returning, so he might still be limited somewhat. But yeah,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I think this is a really good spot for Donovan,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: really good spot for the Bigs as well, Mobley and Allen.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: You could make the case with either.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: One of them. I don't.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I kind of am struggling to see what the true
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: upside is for Mobili now, especially with the team fully healthy.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: They were running a lot of the offense through him
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: earlier in the season with Garland out, but I think
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: with Garland back, he might be the guy that gets
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: impacted the most. I really like the spot for Jared
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Allen though, I think that he's an extremely high upside
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: center option tonight on a slate with a lot of
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: really good options. I think that he is a guy
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: that could go overlooked. Just a really good spot for
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Biggs against the Wizards. They've been a team that just
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: continuously gives up a ton of fantasy points opposing center.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: So he's my second favorite option on Cleveland tonight, But
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Donovan's a clear number one.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: For Washington side. I think you could make the case
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: to fade this team.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: But unless we get news that kish Or Kaishan George
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: is going to be out, that will open up a
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: starting spot. And Parabay did say he thinks it's gonna
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: be Corey Kissfert very well could be him. It also
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: could be just In Champagnee. They talked about the last
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: time that ship had he started. It was just kind
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: of keep the rotations fluid. They didn't really want to
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: change too much there. So he might get the start,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: but that would open up a value play. We might
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: need it though, because, like for me, I'm really looking
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: to spend up for Giannis and then potentially Anthony Edwards tonight.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: If I can get three of those guys and playing
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: one of these value plays allows me to do that,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: then I'd be cool with that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I don't love the.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Spot for sorrow, but it's kind of tough to overlook
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: how well he has played this season, really taking a really,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: really big leap in his second year. I think I'm
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: just gonna avoid this matchup though. It's too tough of
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: a spot against the front court for Cleveland. They just
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: have too many good defenders down lost. I think I'm
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: gonna get away from sarrow here. But if bub Carrington
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: is starting, I think he should be starting tonight. Then
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: he'll look pretty good. Four K is a good price
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: sect for him. Played thirty one minutes, probably pretty safe
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: from blowout as well. I think that he'll get the
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: better matchup. I'm if I'm ever looking to attack Cleveland,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be with guards, just with Garland and Donald
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Mitchell not really being too great defensively. But yeah, I
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: think the Washington side more than not is going to
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: be a stay away from me.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: What about what about these I know you talked about
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: some of these Cleveland guys, but are worried about a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: blowout and then only playing like twenty eight to thirty
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: two minutes, Like can they put up a ceiling performance
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and that type of that type of.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Environment you said the Cleveland guys. Yeah, yeah, I definitely
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: think so. Yeah, It's just I honestly think that even
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: if the games of blowout, we'll see no MO minutes
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: from these guys. At least That's what I'm going to
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: be hoping for, and you definitely be hoping for that
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: if you're playing them.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that thirty two is enough for
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: these guys to hit value for sure.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Nice excellent breakdown. Let's say hello to some more people
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that came in late. Take down what's going on metro
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: booms in the house. Andrew Martinez, my guy Philly fantom
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: in here. As always, we certainly appreciate you. Tune it in,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: make sure you hit that like, make sure you hit
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: that subscribe button. Oh yeah, and that's another thing too.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah you say they pull that up, you can talk
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's blowouts do kind of matter. I think
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: that teams kind of start to care about it more
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: from the point differential standpoint, like next week and the
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: week after. But it does matter. Some teams will take it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: It's you don't really know like which teams are going
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: to be taking it seriously. Just it's I think some
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: teams have like higher aspirations. So I could see a
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: team like the Cavaliers not really caring too much about
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: an NBA Cup game, but who knows. But yeah, the
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: point differential thing definitely matters. So it's it's something to
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: keep an eye on for sure.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent stuff. That's the questions in the chat. Moving
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: on to the next game, we got the Raptors taking
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: on the Trey young less Hawks, and I remember seven
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: days ago, Rio, what did you say? You said you're
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: overweight on Jalen Johnson And all he did was go
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: out and put up a fifty seven point DraftKings performance.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: So shout out to you for last Friday. Can Jalen
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Johnson do it again against this Toronto team? It's Toronto team.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I like some of their pieces. They just got like
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: too many pieces in my opinion that can do some things.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: You got Barnes, you got Ingram, you got Barrett, you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: got quickly. So talk to me a little bit about
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: this game. Who do you love on the Hawks side
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and anybody on the Raptors that you're going to tonight.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I want to go back to the point differential stuff
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: really quick, because the Cavaliers did lose their first NBA
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Cup games. They do have quite a bit of points
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: to make up. Minus eleven is the point differential right
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: now in their group. So yeah, a big win would
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: definitely go a long way. So it might just be
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: full minutes for Cleveland here. Yeah, in terms of this game,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: I think this is one of the better games on
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: the slate just from a true like game environment standpoint
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: should be two teams that play fairly fast and tighter rotations,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: and like you said, with no Trey Young in there,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: it starts to you start to know where the points
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: are coming from. For Atlanta, the Raptors are definitely improving
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: defensively after a rough start to the season, but still
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: a team that gives up way too much at the rim.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: They're they've been able to limit transition, and the Hawks
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: are team that does like to get out and run.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: They're taking over three pointers, so it's really not that
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: great of a spot for how Atlanta likes to score
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: if they're looking to get out and transition transition here,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: But for the Hawks defensively it's kind of similar as well.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: They give a little bit more in transition this season,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: but are under towards the bottom half of the league
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: in rim defense and it's run us the top four
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: transition offense as well, So pretty good spot for Toronto offensively.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I would say it's gonna be just I think quickly
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: in Barrett for me on Toronto or sorry, Scotty Barnes
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: and RJ. Barrett here for Toronto. Scotty's gonna be my
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: preferred option pretty much always for Toronto. I just think
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: he does enough of everything to always be viable, but
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: it is a decent matchup. He put up a pretty
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: solid score against Jealen Johnson the first time these teams met,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: which was on the season opener, put up twenty two,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: six and nine, and that was a game that they
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: blew out as well, so could have seen more minutes
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: if it were to be closer. Vegas is projecting a
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: close game with the Landa favored by two and a half,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: so should get full minutes from all these guys. But
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: I just think that Scotty Barnes is a guy that
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: does have triple double upside. Really good matchup against Jalen
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Johnson and against a team that does give up a
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: little bit more points around the basket. I think kind
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: of sets up well for Scotti here. Ingram just I
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: just don't really think there's enough upside for him with
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: this team, and kind of the same for Quickly. He
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Quickly will probably get a tougher matchup. I think Dyson
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: might be on him, or it could be an aw.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: I think either way, his matchup is okay. But I
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: just like what I'm seeing from Barrett here. He's second
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: in the league in transition scoring the season so it's
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: kind of a sneaky good spot for him, and I
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: think he'll be able to avoid the best defenders. I
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: think that'll be dising on quickly, but I could be wrong,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: could be dising on Barrett, which is still not something.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: You're really too too scared of.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: He just plays a lot of one on one defense,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: so it could lead to some pretty big volume for
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: opposing guards against Duxan Daniels. But I like Barrett and
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Barnes here the best. That's probably it for Toronto. The
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Atlanta side is definitely easier to get into because they
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: have a pretty tight rotation and spread out usage. But
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Jalen Johnson's had one of the better roles with Trey
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Young's with Trey Young off the court this season, just
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: leading the team in all the meaningful categories that you
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: want to see, but did have a pretty solid game
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: against the Raptors as well in the opener of twenty
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: two to seven and eight.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Don't really love the matchup in particular against Scottie Barnes.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: But with the way that the Raptors are giving up
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of volume at the rim, I think that
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: it does make a lot of sen sense for Jalen
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: to attack the basket here, and he is a guy
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: that always has triple double upside with Trey aut so
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: I like him. Kind of think it's a sneaky good
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: spot for Dyson as well. He's a guy that has
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: been pretty close to some massive games, shooting the ball
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: really well right now twenty four for thirty four over
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: his last three games. I think it'll be quickly on him,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: which just makes it a really good spot. And then
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Porzingis and Congo I think are very much in play
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: as well. Probably gonna recommend being max one at these
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: price tags, but they do overlap enough where both of
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: them are viable. Porzingis is not really playing enough right
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: now to make him a smash, but I really really
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: like the matchup. I love attacking Yaka Pertle. Toronto's bottom
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: five and fantasy points allowed to centers this season, So
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: while the minute upside may not be there for Christops,
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: he could easily crush in like twenty five to twenty
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: six with like a double double and a couple steals
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: and blocks. I think that's very much in play. And
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: then a Congo same thing. Five point nine K for
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: a guy that has really strong permanent upside I think
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: is very fair, and then I'll be okay getting away
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: from Naw right now. I liked what I'm seeing from
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: the U standpoint, but he's not doing enough of the
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: ball handling and the playmaking stuff to really be a factor.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I think on in DFS just a fourteen point three
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: assist percentage since straight young one down. I think I'd
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: rather look to the other guys I mentioned on the Hawks.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, great stuff there, excellent breakdown. Naw's all
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the way up to sixty one hundred, which is wild.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: So I got to ask you again, you overweight or
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: underweight on Jalen Johnson. You're the Jalen Johnson whisper.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Uh probably even weight right now. I just don't.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I don't have a strong take on him. I like
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: three spind ups a lot tonight, and don't I don't
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: know where you wrote list.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, good stuff. Moving on to the next
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: game should be one of interesting talking points. Got the pistons,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: you got the nets, you got Jalen Duran he was
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: feeling twenty two the other night, twenty two points, twenty
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: two boards. I believe Beef ste back in the starting
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: lineup with note Tobias Harris, Kate Cunningham. The chat was
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: given Kay business in the chat at halftime, and he
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: ended up doing pretty well the other night taking on
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: these lowly nets who Rio, quite honestly, like, who are
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: these guys? Michael Porter Junior has been having a good
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: season on a terrible team. You got no Cam Thomas,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: so you have seventy nine extra shots to go around tonight.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: But anybody on the Pistons and what should be a
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: blowout ten and a half point spread. Anybody on the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Pistons that you like, Ronald Holland Junior or not? The
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: second I should say not Junior. He played pretty well
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the other night. He's only forty two hundred bucks. Anybody
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: on the Pistons at the.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Nets, Yeah, I think you're always going to have to
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: have interest in the in anybody playing Brooklyn right now.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: This is a historically bad defense. I mean, they're just
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: giving up a ton all over the place. They're dead
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: last and defensive rating bottom five, room defense, bottom six
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: and three point defense, and they're dead last and rebounding.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: The one area that they are always going to be
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: good at. While they have Jordi Fernandez as their coach
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: is their pick and roll defense, their first and pick
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: and roll, they put a lot of two on the ball.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: It's not that great of a spot for Kate, I
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: would say from a scoring standpoint, but I could easily
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: see like a pretty big assist output here. He's one
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: of the top potential assist leaders in the league right now.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Double double definitely in play for kid, but I don't
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think that I'm going to get him at
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: ten point four k I really want to see him
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: put together like a full good game. He was really
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: a big lead down in the first half, but like
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: you said, he went off in the second half, mainly
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, like the last six minutes. I
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: wasn't watching the game, but I had like the play
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: by play stuff, and he was involved in everything in
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: the last six minutes, so really kind of salvage what
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: would have been a really poor night with the double
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: double and then got up to like thirty one points
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: night game, thirty three points something like that. Yeah, So
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: it ended up being a pretty solid game for him,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: but not great. So I think he might be a
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: little overpriced right now for what we're seeing from him.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: From like an upside standpoint, So i'd be okay getting
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: away from him, But I really like the secondary options
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: for Detroit here. Jalen Duran at seven point five K
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: coming off of a massive game versus Utah where he
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: had twenty two points, twenty two rebounds, seven offensive boards,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: so just a beast on the on the boards.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: I think that he's pretty good here.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: With how bad the room defense and the rebounding has
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: been for Brooklyn, I could see a similar performance from
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Jalen Duran. I honestly think that adding Isaiah Stewart into
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: the lineup has really helped him from a playing time standpoint,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: because you look in the last two games at beef
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: sew as started, he played thirty four and thirty five minutes.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: The one area that I was always concerned about with
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: like playing Durham at upper six k's mid seven k's,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: was that he wasn't gonna play more than like twenty
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: nine to thirty minutes in any game because you have
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: a really, really solid backup in Isaiah Stewart. But now
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: that they're sharing the court together, it's kind of sneaky
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: good for him from a minute's upside standpoint, ASAR thinking
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: he's in a good spot here with how the nets
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: get beat up in transition, They'll be without a lot
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: of handling right now, so it could lead to some
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of turnovers, which would make it a really
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: good spot for us Are. And he's running a lot
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: of the second unit offense. They get him some extra
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: ball handling to stagger him away from Caid, so he's
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: gonna have to get it done in those minutes. But
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: like I said, with Kate getting doubled a lot here,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: it could lead to some pretty solid games from these
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: secondary guys. I think Asar as a guy I could
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: see benefiting from that a little bit.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: His playing time has been pretty good.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I think there's probably some better options in the mid
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: six case, but I think that the upside is definitely
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: there for us Are and the Beef stew As a
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Stewart with him starting, I think he's in a good
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: spot here. He's gonna see Michael Port Junior on defense,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: which is a spot I definitely want to attack. The
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Brooklyn side definitely deserves a lot of attention here. With
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: no Cam Thomas, like you said, that's a lot of usage,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of shots to go around. They're going to
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: be putting in. I would imagine Tygers Martin into the
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: starting lineup. I always recommend to proceed with a little
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: bit of caution with him, just because the range of
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: outcomes is really wide. He's just not that great of
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: an NBA player, Like definitely not that great offensively, but
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, if he's playing thirty plus minutes, the opportunity
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: for fantasy points are definitely going to be there. But
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: like Para Bay said, I think it's gonna be really
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: tough to get away from Michael Port Junior here. The
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: use it just gonna be really good for a guy
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: that's seven k I think that he's definitely under price
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: from a role standpoint, I think that the range could
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: be pretty wide for him, but he's his role has
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: changed a lot since coming over from Denver, like he's
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: asked to be on the ball a little bit more.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I think at one point he was leading the nets
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: and assists per game, So definitely changed from a role standpoint,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: And I think that the area that you want to
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: attack the Detroit defense would be with three point shooters,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: just with how elite their rim protection has been the season,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: So it's not a terrible matchup for him. So I
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: like Porter Junior a good amount here. And then I
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: also like Claxon. He's been really good from a point
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: per minute standpoint. With Cam off the court, he's also
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: been They've been running the offense a lot through him
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: more the last few games. If I were to give
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: out like a free bet, I don't really do a
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: lot of betting, but I've been trying to dabble in
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: the pick him stuff a little bit more with underdog
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: league laut here in California. But I like the assist
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: number for Claxon at three and a half. It was
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: two and a half for his last game. That was
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I think that hit in the first half. But I
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: like the three and a half assists for Claxton here
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: for sure. Yeah the over there like.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: That all right, lead pipe block lock it in Claxton
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: three and a half over assist.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Uh But yea.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: If I had to rank these value plays, I would
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: probably go Clowney MPJ Claxton. I didn't really touch on Clowney,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: but he should get the start, and he does provide
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: a little bit of handling in an offense that's gonna
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: be without a lot of it's I like Clowney, Claxton, MPJ,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: and then probably Tyree smartin Terrence Man and Darren Sharper,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: I would say, are in like the tier two bucket
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: though value plays.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Man, those nets, like you said, they always scare me. Rio.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: They just you just never know what you're gonna get
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: with those guys and freaking Jalen Wilson could play forty
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: minutes and you just you just would never know what
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: about uh you did well do at least I didn't
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: hear it. But Ronald Holland nothing. You don't like him
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: or did I miss that?
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't really mention him. I think he's fine, like
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: definitely cheap enough to add into your playpool. Probably don't
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: want to play more than I think on this big
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: of a slate, probably like a max one of either
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Max one of Holland and Stewart or Holland in a SAR.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I think that those three are kind of the guys
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: that are pushing and pulling with their minutes a little bit.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, excellent breakdown there. Let's let's move on
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: to the next game. Next game, we got the Rockets
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: taking on the Spurs in the Battle of Texas. Interesting
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: things to talk about here, Rio, you got no darn
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Fox deal yet to make his season debut. Dylan Harper,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: point guard, two point zero. He's also out, missing his
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: second straight game. Backup center and former Vanderbilt great Luke
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Cornett is going to miss the game tonight and then no,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: no real, no, nobody really out for the Rockets. DFS
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: is out. But you got Wemby all the way up
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: there at twelve three. You got I'm gonna say, Sengoon
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Shing Gun whatever his name is, at non five, I
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: would think he could just bullyball Winby down there the
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: bean the bean stalk. But any love for anybody in
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: this game Rockets at the Spurs.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Now Wenby put on some muscle in the off season.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you've been watching a lot of
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Spurs game, but he definitely looks looks a little bit bigger,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: and the room defense has been great for San Antonios.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: And same Gun is also like he's not I don't.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say he's like a physical presence. He's kind
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: of like a Finesse Sabonis Yoki chocolate player.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna be bullyballing one Big Yama
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: at all. But yeah, I think that this game is
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: more more so what I'm gonna be viewing than actually
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: investing in DFS wise, I just don't really see it.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: I don't see the upside in this game as much.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: These are two really good defenses. Houston's playing really good.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: I think they're one of the top teams in the
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: West now just overall. Obviously, the the Okay c is
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: probably the best team in the league right now, and
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: they're still dealing with injuries, but Houston's got to be
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: close behind them. They're first in offense right now, it's
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: six in defense, so one of the best net ratings
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: you'll see in the league. But the Spurs are second
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: in defense, thirteenth in offense. Definitely could see them struggling
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: a little bit here. I think not having run Dylan
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Harper is going to hurt them. But they'll begin fox
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: back pretty soon. I think they said he's making his
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: debut on Saturday, so that'll definitely help them because they're
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: gonna need Just with the way that teams are playing
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: defense on Wemby right now is making it really tough
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: for him. I think he needs somebody else to kind
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: of free up some of the offense for him. I
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: think the only one I'm really considering on I guess
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: there's two guys I'm kind of considering on Houston right now,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: and that'd be Allmen and KD. I don't really see
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: the upside for KD just on a nights and night basis,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: but matchup wise, it's okay for him. The wing defense
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: for San Antonio is not great, and then Allmen is
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: just coming into the game off of two really strong outings.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I think that he does enough of everything else to
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: kind of be viable in any slate, But I just
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: don't really see either of them putting up. A had
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: to have a score per se in this game, so
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: I probably won't get too much, but I'll keep them
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: up playrepool. I think Wenby should always stay in your
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: playpool just because he does have a crazy upside regardless
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: of matchup. But teams are definitely gonna be taking notice
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: on how the Suns and how the Lakers play defense
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: against him. I think that twelve point three K is
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: kind of a tough price site for him to pay
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: off right now. But Castle, I think, is the guy
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: looking to It's a good matchup for like Castle, Viseel,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Champagnee and Barnes really not so much as or not
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: as much Castle. Just Houston's given up a lot of
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: catch and shoots up right now. So those guys are
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: in good stylistic matches, But I don't really think that
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: there's enough to consider them for this big of a slate.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: But Castle is a guy I'd keep him my playrepool
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: because he does kind of similar to Amen. He can
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: add some of the peripheral stats to be viable.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Is Amen likely more likely to guard Castle or Vassil?
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: You said Amen, Yeah, yeah, he'll be on Castle. I
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: would assume.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Do you prefer Castle or the cell Castle? I think
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: even with a man gardner? Yeah, got it all right,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: excellent break down there. Next game should be an interesting game.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I see a lot of a lot of uh Yovic
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: talk in the chat with no Pel Larson, who just
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: got downgraded mid show. I don't know if you saw
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: that rio, but you got the Hornets taking on the heat.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about this in for a minute. We got
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball who's doubtful to play tonight. We got Bam, Bam,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: he's already been put on the shelf. We got uh oh,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: what's his face? Tyler Hero, he's not suiting up either tonight,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: So a lot of injuries should see a lot of
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: value on the UH on the UH on the heat
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: side as well as if if Ball were to miss,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have Ball out. You're also gonna have Brandon Miller,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: who's already been out, so you should have UH bridges
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: to get some more touches tonight. Andrew Wiggins, you figure
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: to be in a little bit more play. UH, Norman Powell, UH,
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: my boy, davey On Mitchell will talk to me about
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: this game. You got the Hornets at Miami.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we can talk about this as if Sexton and
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Lamela were to miss, because dubtfol is pretty much almost
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: always going to be out, so I would just assume
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: they're going to be out. The probably Larson stuff kind of.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's not like huge news in terms of
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: what he does, like giving away usage and all that stuff,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: but he he has been starting for Miami, so if
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: he were to be out, that's gonna bring somebody into
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: the lineup. I don't really know exactly who would be.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Like Hawkes makes the most sense, but I think they
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: have liked him in that six man role, so it
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: could be like Fontechio to get a little bit of
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: shooting out there. Maybe Drew Smith, although I don't really
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: know if they want to overlap him and davey On
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: too much. I think that would be Fontechio potentially, and
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Yovich is gonna be backing to colo Ware.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: But yeah, like you.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Said, with with Bam out, definitely gonna change the way
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: that Miami plays defense overall because he's their defensive anchors.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't really look into too much of like the
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: the macro matchups, in this one, you're replacing Bam with
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: colo Ware, who's okay defensively, but he does have some
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: lapses at times. So I think that the Charlotte side
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: is really good here, you know, taking away too guys
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: that dominate ball just ball handling and usage with LaMelo
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: and Sexon out is going to be a spot we're
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: going to want to invest pretty deep into. So I
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: really like Trey Man, Conkineple, and Miles Bridges all for
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: somewhat different reasons. I think for Bridges, the upside for
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: him is that the usage rate is going to spike
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: in a really big way thirty percent usage rate in
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: a small sample of minutes with those guys off the court,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: but even like dating back to last season, we have
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: a pretty large sample of Bridges on off numbers with
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: those guys out out of games, and he was averaging
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: around forty five DK points per thirty six minutes, which
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: is pretty solid for his price tag.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: But I think the matchup wise is pretty good.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Just like if the Heat are going to be running
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: a lot of zone with no BAM, now that's lead
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: to some pretty clean looks for Bridges as an off
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: ball scorer, and he's been really killing it as a
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: catch and shoot guy a spot up guys, so.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I like him a pretty good bit.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I would rank him first on
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: the team just because Trey Man and Knak Nipple are
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: projecting his really really strong values for me. But Con
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: is a guy that kind of for the same reason
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: reasons as Bridges. He's an elite three point shooter right
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: now already in his rookie season, and he's coming off
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: with two really big out in his forty and forty
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: three DK points last two games. Got up ten threes
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: last time out, So if he gets up that type
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: of volume volume again here, I think that he could
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: really hit in a big way. And then Trey Man,
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: assuming that he starts either way, I think even to
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: coming off the bench, they're gonna need what he provides,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: So I think that he's probably the best value play
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: on the entire slate if I had to choose one.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: So I'll definitely be playing a ton of Trey Man here,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: and then guys like Seon James kJ Simpson are going
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: to have to fill in some of that ball handling
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: as well. kJ is a guy that they have turned
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: two as a starter at times last season, so I
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be so prize if they go to him instead
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: of Trey Man and keep Man off the bench, and
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: then Kak Brenner and Diabat split in those sentimentes, I
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: think are pretty good here. Just with no Bam, it's
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: going to change the way that Miami plays defense. And
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Kak Brenner is a guy that's shown pretty solid endurance
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: in the NBA in his rookie seasons. I kind of
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: like him as a high upside center option here for
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: the Miami side. Very small sample with Bam off the
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: court of the season, but it has been Wiggins that
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: kind of sees the biggest bump in his usage and
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: just the overall role plus five and a half percent
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: usage bump and averaging one point four fantasy points per minute.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: I've been very anti Wiggins this whole season. He was
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: getting a ton of love first few games, being probably
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: to like five point a K, like six point three K,
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: but was really just kind of filling in a role,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Like he even talked about his role like he wasn't
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: trying to do too much. Now they're going to need
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: some secondary offense. So I think that if there were
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: a time to be playing Wiggins, I think tonight would
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: be the night. So I'll definitely have him in a
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: playpool and probably playing more than whatever his projected own
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: is to see like five six percent I think is.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: A really low number for Wiggans.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be playing a good amount of him.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Powell, same reason. Like same thing with Wigans.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: He's been a little bit worse as a per minute
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: producer with Bam off the court, just one point one
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: fantasy points for a minute, and then Hakkez is a
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: round one. So both those guys are solid, not great.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I think Powell definitely has upside though, just he can
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: get hot in any matchup, and he had a really
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: strong role earlier in the season. Before the before the injury,
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: was playing around like thirty six minutes a night, So
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: he gets back to that here after playing thirty one
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: in his second game back from injury. I think that
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: he's definitely viable. The killer where probably gonna be playing
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: thirty plus minutes here. I would imagine if if things
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: go poorly, it's gonna be Jovic that's playing ahead of him.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: So I would pair those guys together and maybe play
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: their projections a little bit closer. Because Sulzer has been
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: very quick to pull the plug on where at times
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: when he's not doing well. I think it's an okay spot.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Cop Brenner is a decent rint protector, but Charlotte's still
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: allowing the fourth most fantasy points per game to opposing
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: two opposing centers. So DVP wise very strong play considering
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: where and he's a He averaged thirty six point eight
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: DK points per game without banned last season, had a
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: couple of really big games.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: But I think it's a different.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Situation this season with Jovic kind of being a guy
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: that they want to get a longer look at.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so right now, there are a couple of questions
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: for you with LaMelo and Colin out. Who do you
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: think starts Trey Man, kJ Simpson won both. And then
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: do you kind of elevate those guys that are going
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: to be starting as opposed to coming off the bench.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I think Sion James started a game or two earlier
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: in the season as well.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: He's been starting the last few games with I think
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: he's been like slotting in for Miller at the three,
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: so he should stay in there. I think that it's
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: going to be Man, but like I said, they they've
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: gone to kJ at this like some of these similar
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: spots last season. I think Man missed a lot of
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: games last year too, though, But yeah, I think it's
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: gonna be Man. I kind of like Man regardless. That
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: would definitely make me like kJ a little bit more.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: But I think Man is going to have a role
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: in this offense, regardless if he's starting or off the bench.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: And then you mentioned you mentioned the heat going to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: his zone maybe a little bit more with Ban being out,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: And I remember last year the heat or a big
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: time three point fun on my boy Damian Lillard. Thanks
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: thanks him for that, But are the heat still bad
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: at guarding the three point shooters? And if so, obviously
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: con shooting ten last game. I like him a lot more.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: But are the heat still bad at defending the three pointer?
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: I could pull the numbers up real quick. I don't
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: think they've been as bad as they have in years prior.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: It's also very early. Yeah, they're giving up around three
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: per game, which is bottom ten in the league. Sorry,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: they're giving up fourteen and a half per game, which
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: is bottom ten in the league. So yeah, still same
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: style of defense under Skolsha as normal. SYS a good
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: spot for three point shooters for sure.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Con it is and Ham's giving out his play of
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: the day. It's his boy, and mentioned him earlier day
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: beyond Mitchell, I really like David. I'm gonna go out
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: on a limb rio forty points for Davion, not real
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: life points. We're talking daily fantasy points fifty five hundred
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: on DraftKings dot Com forty six hundred. I love me
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: some Davon tonight against these backup guards. He's gonna eat
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: their lunch. It steals rebounds, assists and get some points.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Give me davey On to go for forty plus on
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: DraftKings tonight. Moving on to the next game, we got
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: my boy jaw can't hit a three pointer to save
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: his life. We got the Mavericks. I don't think they've
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: won many games this year. Cooper Flag missing pull up
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: jumpers to ty games, d Lo letting us down once
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: again as mega chalk. Anthony Davis slated to miss another
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: one tonight. Uh Rio. I gotta be honest, my Grizzlies.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: We're struggling this year. When you start a guy by
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: the name of Jack Landell, you know you're gonna be
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: in for a long season. But any love for anybody
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: on this Mavericks team, anybody any love for any of
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: these Grizzlies trick or treat Tony Allen getting arrested. Maybe
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: he rises from the dead. We play for my boy
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: ta tonight.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: The teams have both been very underwhelming, to say the
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: least to start the season. I think it's been like
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: pretty embarrassing to I don't know, Dallas has been embarrassing
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: to start the season. I don't This was a team
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: with kind of finals aspirations and.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: They're one of the worst.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: I think they're actually the worst team in the West
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: right now, giving up a ton of rim points. Just
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: their de on ball defense is non existent. Really a
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: spot that you definitely want to attack. So I am
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: kind of in on Jaw tonight. I mean, there's a
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: lot you can say about Jaw, like all the all
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: the drama off court and.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: On court, I guess too.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: But like with with the you know, the coach drama,
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: there's all the talk about all the trade speculations as well.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: But if there was a time for him to really
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: kind of silence the noise, I think it would be
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: in this matchup. I just don't really see anybody that's
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: going to be in front of him that could stay
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: stay in front of him and that could really sew
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: him down. They're still playing him full minutes, so he's
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: obviously still had his role thirty four and thirty five
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: minutes in the last two games and two of the
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: tougher matchups that you'll you'll see for opposing guards, with
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: the time twins guarding him and really holding him to
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: some some low scores in those last few I think
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: that I think he's gonna cook whoever was in front
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: of him. I think it's gonna be Max Grissy. I
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: think that he goes off against him. So I do
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: like jog goodbit here eight point six K, very good price.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Side for him. I think that Cedric Coward probably needs
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: to be starting for this team. He's been one of
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: their better players and just continues to come off the
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: bench for KCP. I think he should be starting either way.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: He's playing starter like minutes. I like him the second best.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: And then so somebody mentioned the bigs for Memphis. Jock
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Landale is the guy you're looking at.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: He's okay, not a sexy player, but he was playing
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: low twenties minutes, a good matchup against Gafford, good matchup
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: against Dallas who's just given him a ton of rim points.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: I think that he's definitely in play, but I don't
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: really you know, I don't have too big of a
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: take there. I think you could for sure consider him
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: the Dallas side. PJ has been their best player of
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: the season, playing really well seven point two K. I
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: think it's a little bit too expensive for him. He
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: does have the upside show two games ago.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: I think it's kind of asking for a lot for
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: PJ at seven point two K to get there, But
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: I do. I do think that what we saw from
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Flag last game was pretty encouraging. I think helping it's
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: going to help him playing alongside Dangel Russell and not
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: really asking Cooper Flag to be the main point guard
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: for the scene. I think it's definitely going to help
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: him just kind of have a little bit less responsibilities
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: and maybe give him some better matchups as well. So
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: I do like Flag here at six point nine K.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: I think that he's starting to start to find his
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: stride as a as a pro, So I do like
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: him the best for Dallas. We saw the range of
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: outcomes like what it can be for D'Angel Russell. It
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: was like the ultimate Danel Russell experience had started, played
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: twenty one minutes, had one of the worst games he's
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: had all season, I believe outside of the Washington game,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: only played nine minutes in that one. So yeah, I
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: think that you could probably go back to him and
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: just hope that nobody goes there and he is good
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Dan Angel Russell tonight. But I really don't have any
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: level of confidence in playing him. The only thing that
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: really making me consider him is that he is going
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: to be low own and if he's starting again, he
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: does have thirty minute upside and really good permitted upside
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: that we've seen from him in the past and even
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: this season. He had the double double two games ago,
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: so he's definitely got the upside. Gafford should played twenty
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: five minutes again here, but jeting is another really strong
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: value in a matchup versus a Memphis se and that's
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: really not great around the baskets. I think that he's
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: for sure and play as well.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I got a question for you, Rio, do you believe
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: in the curse of Meghan the Stallion?
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't even know how to answer that, to be honest.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: The corpse of Klay Thompson just can't get it done anymore.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: It's the curse of Megan the Stallion. That's his girlfriend.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Rio.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: In case you didn't know that, you need to get
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: up up to speed on your pop culture, man.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: I guess I do.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: If you know more about pop coach than me, that
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: probably I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: All Right, that's it for the Memphis game. It shouldn't
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: be good. Jared Jackson Junior didn't much about him, but
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: seventy nine hundred, I don't hate that. Let's go to
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: the main event. I'm paging my boy Nowons. If you're
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: out there, this is your time to Sean, I actually
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: like the Greek freak tonight, but we got one of
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: the best games on the slate. We got the Bulls
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: and Josh Giddy giddy up all the way to a
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: triple double going up against Giannis. You talked about some
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: spind ups earlier. Josh Giddy's got to be in that conversation.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Giannis has got to be in that conversation. Anybody else
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: of this game. Ryan Rollins has played very well, but
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: he's he's all the way up to sixty two hundred.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Interested to hear your breakdown on this. You got the
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: largest total on the slate, I do believe at two forty.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: But Bulls at the Bucks.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope it doesn't seem like a cop out
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: to really not mention anybody else than Jannis and getting
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: this game. But I just really really like the matchups
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: for them, and I just think that they're the two
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: best spend ups on the entire slate tonight. We've seen
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: Giddy have a massive role over the last three games,
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: twenty eight percent usage rate leading the team there, four
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: sent assist leads a team there, sixty percent rebounding rate
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: over seven minutes a touch time, so it's really not
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: a surprise to hear those numbers and then look at
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: the stat lines. He had two triple doubles, a double
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: double in the other game, sixty three DK points was
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: the low, and then he topped out at just under
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: seventy one DK points last game. I honestly think that
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: he's still under priced for what we're seeing from a
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: role standpoint and then even a production standpoint, like there's
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: guys like Caid who haven't touched the numbers that he's
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: touched the season, but he's a thousand dollars more. I
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: just think that Giddy is a great spend up option tonight.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: The Bucks have been better defensively against guards. When it
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: was a team that I really like to attack man
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: because their pick and roll defense was just so bad.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: By honestly think a lot of that was due to
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: brook Lopez been out there just just has stone feed,
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: and Miles Turner is definitely a big upgrade there defensively
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: outside the shop blocking. I think brook Lopez was a
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: good shot blocker, but Turner's definitely a lot more agile,
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: so I think that's definitely helped them. But I still
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: just think that Giddy is way price here, so I'm
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: going to be playing a ton of him, and then
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: if I can do it comfortably, I would love to
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: pair him with the honest because I could see this
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: game going back and forth really close spread, so hopefully
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: we get like an overtime game as well, and then
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: just get two massive scores from these guys. But Giannis
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: has killed the Bulls historically and top of the league
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: in rim scoring the season. The Bucks or the Bulls
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: are the second worst room defense in the league, So
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: I think that it's not really a hot take to
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: say that Yiannis is a great span. I mean, he's
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: just doing it all for the Bucks right now, playing
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: as good as he has all in his career, at
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: least at this point of the season in his career,
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: so I think that, yeah, he's really good. So I
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: like Giannis and Gidea a ton. I guess some of
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: the guys that I would consider outside of those two,
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: I don't really like the spot for Fouche. I think
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: there's much better center options on the slate. You could
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: go to Ryan Rawlins, I probably won't. I don't think
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: that they really want to play him as much as
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: they haven't been playing him. Turner doesn't really do it
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: for me. But I don't mind Trey Jones and Kevin
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Herder and Io Desumu, just guys that could see some
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: clean looks with the off ball scoring kind of being
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: a spot to attack the books.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: I don't mind them. I think I would probably be
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: the best just because he's the cheapest. Though.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: I saw something you mentioned the other night, is that
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: it was that Billy Donovan hates Baziulas or how do
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: you say his name? Well, why won't he played? My boy?
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: I think he just cuts up every time he's in there.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: But why won't he Why won't Billy the kid play? Play?
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Uh play Basilis?
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's really hard on him, Like, I just think
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: he's trying to coach him up a lot and just
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: shows him a lot of tough love. Like I wasn't
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: watching the game the previous game, but he was getting
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: pulled like after two minutes stints, and I followed some
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: of the beat writers and they were all just saying, oh, Billy,
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: Billy Donovan called a timeout to yell at Buzzellis in
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: the sidelines, So he was literally just calling of time out,
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: yelling at him and not even coaching his team. Pulled
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: him out and then would put him back in. But yeah,
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: they're just coaching. It's just kind of tough love, I think.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: And everybody knows that I'm known Yanni's hater. But at
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: eleven six, let's talk about this, and I don't have
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: any data to back it up. Maybe someone can help
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: me out. But when was the last time Jannis was
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: on a winner? Like on the winning team, he's so expensive,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: He'll put up sixty DraftKings points, He'll get a bunch
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: of dunks, Jordan will go crazy in the chat. But
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: how many points does Giannis have to get tonight daily
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Fantasy points to be on the winner? Because I can't
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: remember the last time he was on a winner.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know, probably probably seventy I think same, Yeah
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: he had, But.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: When was the last time Giannis was on the winner?
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: He's gonna put up sixty five points and he's not
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be nowhere needed, nowhere near needed to win.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I think. I guess it's my point.
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: I'm all right, you're you're gone, Brandon. I'm just you're
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: just too annoying to look at it anymore. Sorry, can
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: this guy's just flooding the fucking comments with just shit
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: it all right, which.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Said, honest, what's your take on gi Honest? Let's get
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: let's get that, Let's get the maestro's take on Giannis?
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Are you a young I love honest?
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love you honest.
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: He's great, all right, He's a winner. He's got got
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: a chip fifty piece. I don't know if he's like
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: fifty real points. I mean, if there was a matchup
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: to do it, I think it would be this one.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: He's kind of being like limited though a little bit.
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: It's not played more than thirty eight in a game
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: since the opener or since the second game of the season,
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: so I don't really know. They're normally trying to.
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: Play his minutes like Bump with his minutes a ton
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: right now, so goldn't need to be efficient in the
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: minutes it does play. But I think that this is
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: a great matchup for him.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I was referring to the fifty piece when
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: he went to Chick fil A after they won the title.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty funny. And he was ordering
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: a fifty piece from the lady. You gotta, you gotta,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: you gotta watch these videos re you know, you gotta,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: you gotta be watching these videos after the after they
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: went chips. But Yannis, I'm gonna say not on the
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: winner tonight under sixty five points? Who scores more points?
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Let me put you on the spot, Rio, Joshua Giddy
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: or Yannis? However you say his last name daily Fantasy points?
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: I act like you don't know how to say his
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: last name.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: He's been one of the best players in the league,
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: like the last ten years.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: All right, who scores more tonight daily Fantasy points?
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's just it's like pot take you
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: to say Giddy. I would just say Yannis like it's
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: it's safe, big.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jannis. I'd say Yannis is probably like seven and
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: a half point favorite. What do we haven't projected at
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: forty four versus where are we at? No, it's he's
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: he's he's way. I'm gonna say Giddy's closer than seven
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: and a half. But in any event, we'll move on
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: to the next game. Good talk there by, Brandon. Hopefully
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: you come back again. But next game on the slate,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: we got my Utah Jazz taking on the Timberwolves. Needed
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: to start eating some doves. Come on, Jazz, let's go
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: they're actually Rio's Jazz, but taking on the t Wolves.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Pretty high team total for the t Wolves. Anthony Edwards
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: slated to play tonight. The Jazz are missing Walker Kesler,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: I believe, and I don't believe they're missing anybody else.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong there, Rio, But this is
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: the last game on the slate. I said it wrong earlier.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: The last two games, which I like, are not on
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: the Fandals slate either. So we got nine games on
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: tap for both main slates tonight. But break this last
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: one down. Your Utah Jazz in Minnesota taking on the Timberwolves.
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, really good, really good spot for the Wolves here.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: I'm always going to be talking up teams playing in
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: my jazz again. A ton of three pointers, a ton
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: of turnovers, Transition defense is starting to come down a lot.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: So it's a really really good spot for anybody playing
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: the Utah Jazz right now. And then their room defense
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: is definitely going to get better. I did not like
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: what I saw with with Nurkic down low. I think
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: that offensively, Nurkic kind of fills the role that they
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: were asking Kessler to do, because Nurkis has kind of
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: always been a decent passer, a guy that they put
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: at like the top of the key around the free
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: throw line and you know, run some offense through him.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: But Walker was His potential assists and assists per game
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: were way up this season compared to last, starting to
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: get some some of the three pointers going as well.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: So I think that offensively, Nurkic fills that role, but defensively,
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: they're definitely gonna miss them a lot, and I think
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: we'll start to see those rint protection numbers go down
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: in a pretty big way. Well, that being said, I
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: think there's two guys that you're really considering on Utah
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: right now, and I think it's Kyante and Nurkic. The
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: upside for Kiance is that how I mean, how good
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: the Wolves have been defensively with this unit that they
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: have the last few years. Surprisingly, their pick and roll
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: defense is worse than the league this season. You know,
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: we're about ten games done or about ten percent done
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: with the season, so it's kind of a trend for them.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: I'll definitely see them getting better, but Rudy Gobert is
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: getting older and Randall is not.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: That great of a pick and roll guy.
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: I don't think nas Reed really is either, so it
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: could be something that is a little sticky for this season.
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: But Kiance has had a really good role. Had a
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: bad game last time out, just didn't shoot the ball. Great,
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: that'll happen sometimes, but still a really good role, leading
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: the team in pick and roll points per game, touch
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: time drives our way up. He's getting to the foul
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: line a ton, so he's had a really good role.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: I think that he's kind of in a sneaky good
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: spot here. So I like Keiance, and then for Nurkic,
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: I mean he just if he got a double double.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: He's approaching fifty d K points last game, I think
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: he'll take that. At six point three k not a
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: great matchup, but he'll play a lot. He played thirty
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: three and thirty one in his last two starts, so
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: just from like a permanent standpoint, he's going to be
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: a guy to consider. But nothing about the matchup really
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: stands out for him. The Minnesota side I really like, though,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: and it's gonna start with Ant should be a full go.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: Didn't play well last time out, but I think that
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: attacking the Knicks with guards probably not going to be
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: something that we want to do moving forward. They're putting
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: two on the ball a lot to really make it
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: tough for guys like An to get going. But with
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: Utah not really doing that as much, I can see
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: this being a small where he blows up. And he's
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: just been I mean, he has not had a bad
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: game against Utah in like three season. The lowest he's
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: scored against them was fifty and a half DK points.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: The most he scored was sixty nine DK points. He's
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: averaging forty points against them last season and then thirty
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: six points over the last two season. So I think
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: that if Ant comes in relatively low, I think the
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: ownership does come up a little bit because he's getting healthier.
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: But man, this is a really really good spot for
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: An here, so I love him. It's probably my third
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: favorite spind up on the entire slate tonight. I don't
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: think I'll go to Randall. I just don't know if
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: there's enough upside sharing the court with Ant right now
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: at a point five K. But I do think that
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: Dante and Jayden Daniels do have a little bit of
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: upside here as guys that can't score off ball, and
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: with how how bad the Jazz have been against three
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: point shooters this season as well as committing a ton
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: of turnovers. I think that's a plus for both of them,
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: but especially Jaden and Daniels. He's had two really big
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: games against Utah last season, had forty six in a
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: couple of those games. So I kind of think both
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: those guys are our sneaky GPP plays tonight.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: How many guys from this game is too many you think?
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: I don't think I'll go over board. Look, you're not
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: playing more than two Jazz, and I would say four
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: is probably two much. I think three is probably the
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: sweet spot. If you're gonna like two of Aunt Dante Jayden,
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: I guess you can toss in Reno Gobert and then
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: one of Keyonte Nurk.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: It is probably plenty.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Got it all right, that'll do it. That's all nine games.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: We certainly appreciate everyone tuning in today, always enjoying my
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Friday's afternoon at four pm Eastern time to break this
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: down with my guy Rio, best in the business. If
• 54:33

  Speaker 1: appreciate you tuning in. We got the bet, the bet
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: of the day. It's not a betting show, but we
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: got Claxton for Brooklyn over three and a half assists.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Give me a guy, give me a guy six k
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: and under. That's that's gonna change the slate tonight, Rio
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: we'll get out of here.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: Does ownership matter? It's just just a just a.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Guy six thousand and below. Uh yeah, it's gonna break
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: the sleek.
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: I would say Trey Man, but he's gonna be the
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: highest on playing so so I will not say.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: That, but I'm gonna go with uh, give me kN
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: kankak nipple. Yeah.
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: I think that we're gonna see a good amount of
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: three pointers being launched by him, and then he adds
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: the peripheral stats with you know, losing two guards. Now,
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: I think they're gonna ask him to do a little
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: bit more on boss. I really like the upside for
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: Con here. I think that this is a great spot
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: to attack against Miami.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that. I'm going Con. You're You're You're
• 55:36
