- 0:05Speaker 1: All system's going clear the left of.
- 0:36Speaker 2: What is going on? Paarabye, Jordan Luis, Mister Mike's daddy
- 0:41Speaker 2: put me in coach, wins a Lot Brock, Brandy William,
- 0:45Speaker 2: Jake Triscott. I hope everybody's doing well. Yeah, right there,
- 0:49Speaker 2: lame last day of the trade deadline. It is officially over,
- 0:52Speaker 2: so you do not have to worry about any more
- 0:54Speaker 2: chaos real Any final thoughts on the trade deadline for you,
- 0:57Speaker 2: Any moves you absolutely love from people? I don't. We
- 1:00Speaker 2: talked about your jazz on Tuesday, but anything after that
- 1:04Speaker 2: that you.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Want to talk about or discuss. No, nothing really that
- 1:09Speaker 3: moved the needle today. I don't think I like to
- 1:11Speaker 3: pick up for the Hawks getting comingo, though. I think
- 1:13Speaker 3: that'll be good for They're gonna have an insanely athletic
- 1:17Speaker 3: duo between him and Jalen Johnson, so I'll be interested
- 1:20Speaker 3: to see how that works out.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I actually think that he'll fit in pretty nicely with.
- 1:24Speaker 3: That that style of offense, So that's probably the one
- 1:28Speaker 3: that I like the most. But there wasn't really a
- 1:29Speaker 3: ton today that stood out. All the bigger ones kind
- 1:33Speaker 3: of got done earlier. Yeah, I'm just kind of looking
- 1:38Speaker 3: through Oh, the Matherin and Zubach one was big. I
- 1:40Speaker 3: don't really understand that for the Clippers personally, but yeah
- 1:47Speaker 3: to the Knicks and he's going back home so that'll
- 1:50Speaker 3: be fun.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought that was good too. Not great for Colic,
- 1:55Speaker 2: but yeah Jordan did he have a big, a big
- 1:58Speaker 2: night like yesterday.
- 2:00Speaker 3: I think just people in our discord did it. A
- 2:02Speaker 3: bunch of people ship satellites and showdown was really good.
- 2:08Speaker 3: I think I hope people whin got first person showdown.
- 2:10Speaker 3: So just all around this week has been pretty good
- 2:12Speaker 3: for a ship it. I saw Britney shout out to
- 2:15Speaker 3: Brittany whining. I think it was like fifty five hundred
- 2:17Speaker 3: woke up to a ship or shout out to her.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see too much else. DFS whispers in here,
- 2:25Speaker 2: de Gilbert in here, Juice appreciate everyone hanging out. Whispers again.
- 2:30Speaker 2: All we asked life putt subscribed button helps us out
- 2:32Speaker 2: a ton. You know a lot of people sweating their
- 2:35Speaker 2: golf teams me included over here. What a chaotic day
- 2:38Speaker 2: one so far? At Waste Management still do have a
- 2:41Speaker 2: lot of showdown though, if no one's ever dead on
- 2:44Speaker 2: day one but if you're not looking too hot or
- 2:46Speaker 2: if you're looking great, PGA Showdown is very fun. We
- 2:49Speaker 2: do have the Stone Slate Plan projections ownership for that
- 2:53Speaker 2: as well. Good prizes as well. So recommend getting in
- 2:56Speaker 2: not only PGA Showdown, of course, NBA going, NHL go
- 3:00Speaker 2: Next Thing you Know, or MMA too. On Saturday, Me

- 3:06Speaker 2: eight forty five Eastern An, NFL of course Super Bowl Sunday,
- 3:10Speaker 2: Rio's Patriots taken on the Seahawks, Monster prizes. I think
- 3:13Speaker 2: the best time to get in will be right now
- 3:15Speaker 2: using the code Well, you don't even need the code
- 3:18Speaker 2: chip nineteen if you just go to join the nation
- 3:20Speaker 2: ship a nation dot com. Join the Nation you will

- 3:29Speaker 2: days nineteen dollars sabersim and Discord and all of our
- 3:33Speaker 2: content brings you into the Super Bowl. I think that's
- 3:36Speaker 2: the best time to join. Get multiple sports, like I said, NFL, NBA,
- 3:40Speaker 2: PGA Showdown, MMA and NHL all for the low price
- 3:44Speaker 2: of nineteen dollars. We would love to have you for
- 3:47Speaker 2: SUREJPGA MMA the best sweat. I agree, I think MMA
- 3:52Speaker 2: for sure. I haven't really had PGA sweats, don't play
- 3:55Speaker 2: as many tournaments. MMA is definitely my favorites. Rio, what's
- 3:58Speaker 2: your favorite sweat?
- 4:00Speaker 1: Yeah, probably MMA. I think the worst is probably NBA.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, I agree. I think NBA is the stone
- 4:06Speaker 2: cold worst. I don't even think it's close. At least, Baseball,
- 4:10Speaker 2: like you're never safe, but at least you know what
- 4:14Speaker 2: you're cheering for. Like if you're eleven out and you're
- 4:17Speaker 2: like you need the guy to hit a homer, you're
- 4:19Speaker 2: fading this and that it's a lot easier. NBA is
- 4:21Speaker 2: just impossible, like it's super hard to really know where
- 4:24Speaker 2: you're at until Oh, yeah, Nascar, you're right, I mean
- 4:27Speaker 2: I NASCAR might be one of the worst. I remember
- 4:30Speaker 2: I was up two hundred thousand back in the COVID
- 4:32Speaker 2: time during Daytona the final lap, and I think I
- 4:35Speaker 2: lost like nine hundred bucks. Obviously it was Daytona, the
- 4:38Speaker 2: big one, but yeah, screw that. Not a fan of
- 4:42Speaker 2: the NASCAR sweat, No way, worst sweat is Nascar? All right?
- 4:45Speaker 2: Fair enough? I did forget that four days yup, and
- 4:49Speaker 2: then we got this Ryan Cox his favorites Nascar. I
- 4:52Speaker 2: love it. Everybody's different. Title. Might need a roof of
- 4:55Speaker 2: the Steelers with Big Mic and all the I hate
- 4:57Speaker 2: Big Mic. Big Mic is cheeks, so I'm definitely never
- 5:00Speaker 2: are going to root for Big Mike. I will say, though,
- 5:01Speaker 2: if Rogers is the quarterback, I'll always be rooting for them.
- 5:04Speaker 2: But now I think I'm not really sure what the
- 5:07Speaker 2: Steelers to do with.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Mike.
- 5:08Speaker 2: McCarthy's one of the bigger donkeys out there in the NFL.
- 5:10Speaker 2: So hey, if you're a Steelers fan, I feel sorry
- 5:13Speaker 2: for you. He is definitely not better than Tomlin. I
- 5:16Speaker 2: got off track though, any initial thoughts. Six games on
- 5:19Speaker 2: tap six pm or seven pm Eastern start time, one
- 5:22Speaker 2: and a half hour window eight thirty, and then there
- 5:24Speaker 2: is two Lake games at nights late in a showdown
- 5:27Speaker 2: ten Eastern games, but fandal DraftKings six games on tap?
- 5:30Speaker 2: What are your What are your thoughts? Yeah?
- 5:33Speaker 3: I mean the slate feels very similar to the one
- 5:35Speaker 3: that we've seen the last couple of days. We have
- 5:37Speaker 3: one team that's kind of dominating all the value in
- 5:39Speaker 3: Chicago tonight, so I would say that they kind of
- 5:42Speaker 3: profile similarly to Okay, see last night. They might have
- 5:47Speaker 3: nine guys tonight, depends on the availability of Collin Sexton.
- 5:51Speaker 3: He's questionable right now. Obviously just got traded there usually
- 5:54Speaker 3: takes a couple of days to get for the trade
- 5:56Speaker 3: to go through, so he might miss. But they did
- 5:59Speaker 3: bring up mac McClung, so they'll pretty much have seven
- 6:02Speaker 3: guys that you can roster if sex And does miss,
- 6:05Speaker 3: So you're definitely gonna want to get into that game
- 6:07Speaker 3: a lot be Other than that, pretty normal, kind of
- 6:11Speaker 3: straightforward slate Jazz could be not a team that provides
- 6:13Speaker 3: some value, but yeah, just a couple couple Q tags
- 6:17Speaker 3: that could kind of shake things up a little bit.
- 6:19Speaker 2: I agree with you, though, Jake. All DFS sweats are
- 6:22Speaker 2: great because if you're sweating something that means I mean,
- 6:24Speaker 2: you're sweating all the money, you're sweating first place, so
- 6:27Speaker 2: it's always a fun position to be there. NBA my
- 6:30Speaker 2: least favor least favorite sport, but favorite sport, if that
- 6:33Speaker 2: makes sense. I don't know exactly what you're saying, but
- 6:36Speaker 2: I think is a great DFS sport. It's just this
- 6:39Speaker 2: is what's really hard, Like I'm in a I mean,
- 6:41Speaker 2: it's the last fight you know, you need this guy
- 6:43Speaker 2: to win or that guy to win. You need this
- 6:45Speaker 2: amount of points to that amount of points, and two
- 6:47Speaker 2: guys are girls trying to kill each other, So that
- 6:50Speaker 2: always takes it from me. Well more, winning seasons for
- 6:53Speaker 2: Steelers is what they got with McCarthy. I mean, the
- 6:56Speaker 2: team solid, so maybe they'll get a winning season. Probably not,
- 6:58Speaker 2: though Mike McCarthy's the definition of what are the kids
- 7:02Speaker 2: like to say dog water nowadays? Yeah, Mike McCarthy's dogwater.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Good to see a big ed. I got nothing more though.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Let's go game by game. The first game of the
- 7:10Speaker 2: Knights Brooklyn Nets and the Orlando Magic nine to that point.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Favorites of the Magic two to fourteen and a half
- 7:15Speaker 2: total in this one the lowest on the slates. Injuries
- 7:19Speaker 2: in this one on the net side, Cam Thomas just
- 7:21Speaker 2: got waved. Pretty big news there. Yeah, that's pretty interesting.
- 7:26Speaker 2: They couldn't even find any one, like any trade partners
- 7:29Speaker 2: for him. I mean, he's he's a G baller, There's
- 7:31Speaker 2: no doubt about that. The ball doesn't move too much
- 7:34Speaker 2: with him, but he definitely can put it in the basket. Orlando,
- 7:37Speaker 2: no new injury news there in terms of ownership in
- 7:41Speaker 2: this first game. Definitely not a lot, and that kind
- 7:44Speaker 2: of makes sense with it being the lowest total of
- 7:46Speaker 2: the slate and nine to a half point favorites. But
- 7:48Speaker 2: what do you see in this one?
- 7:50Speaker 3: Yeah, these teams were fairly inactive at the trade deadline,
- 7:53Speaker 3: so somewhat somewhat shocking like that. Nobody could or wanted
- 7:58Speaker 3: to make a move for Cam Thomas. But he'll to
- 8:00Speaker 3: choose where he wants to go now, Yeah, curious to
- 8:03Speaker 3: see where he goes. There was a lot of motion
- 8:06Speaker 3: about him going to the Bucks. I think that would
- 8:08Speaker 3: be a pretty funny fit alongside Kevin Porter Junior and
- 8:12Speaker 3: Kyle Kuzma. That would be I'll take it. Yeah, But yeah,
- 8:16Speaker 3: I agree with you. Though not a very appealing DFS game.
- 8:18Speaker 3: I think that the net side is pretty unappealing and
- 8:22Speaker 3: you're probably better off fading the team fully more times
- 8:25Speaker 3: than not. And I especially think moving forward, this is
- 8:28Speaker 3: going to be a very frustrating team to roster. They
- 8:30Speaker 3: are probably going to be running out ten to eleven
- 8:32Speaker 3: guys most nights. You see that they don't project very
- 8:35Speaker 3: well from a value standpoint. I think there's really only
- 8:38Speaker 3: three guys that I'm even considering maybe four. I'm considering
- 8:41Speaker 3: keeping my playpool right now, and that would be Michael
- 8:43Speaker 3: Porter Junior on the off chance that the.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Game does stay close.
- 8:46Speaker 3: If it doesn't, he'll probably get his minute style back
- 8:49Speaker 3: Clackston and Sharp just because the matchup is pretty good.
- 8:51Speaker 3: But I think that they're going to end up splitting
- 8:53Speaker 3: minutes more even down the stretch, and then jegor Demon
- 8:58Speaker 3: at four point five K is just really cheap. And
- 9:00Speaker 3: now that I thought Terrence Man might have got moved,
- 9:04Speaker 3: maybe they'll end up cutting him. But if they make
- 9:06Speaker 3: a move to get rid of some of the guard depth,
- 9:08Speaker 3: then maybe some more minutes will open up for Demon.
- 9:10Speaker 3: But I just don't think that they really want to
- 9:11Speaker 3: play these guys a ton of minutes right now. I'd
- 9:14Speaker 3: be shocked if they even play MPJ like thirty six
- 9:17Speaker 3: plus more than one or two times. Moving forward, I
- 9:21Speaker 3: think that it's gonna be pretty even, So I'm okay
- 9:23Speaker 3: just fully faitding the Nets tonight if that's what you
- 9:25Speaker 3: want to do.
- 9:26Speaker 1: It does set up pretty well for the Orlando side, though.
- 9:30Speaker 3: Matchup wise, the Nets are bottom six in defense over
- 9:33Speaker 3: the last two weeks and bottom two and rim defense
- 9:35Speaker 3: also a pretty bad rebounding team as well, and the
- 9:40Speaker 3: Magic are one of the top scoring teams around the basket.
- 9:42Speaker 3: I forget the exact number, but they're like top three
- 9:45Speaker 3: or four rim offensive frequencies, so good matchup for some
- 9:49Speaker 3: of these guys. I think the ones that kind of
- 9:50Speaker 3: stand out to me would be Polo and Sugs. Of
- 9:53Speaker 3: the main starters, Paulo obviously still plenty of upside. I
- 9:58Speaker 3: think that three turn have sug of Suggs has kind
- 10:00Speaker 3: of hurt his role a little bit. It's slightly lower
- 10:03Speaker 3: usage in a slightly smaller on ball roll over the
- 10:06Speaker 3: last six games since Suggs has returned, but he's scoring
- 10:09Speaker 3: the ball well twenty five point two points per game
- 10:11Speaker 3: over the last six, still playing a ton of minutes.
- 10:13Speaker 3: I'm okay with Polow. I like Suggs though at six K.
- 10:16Speaker 3: I think this is a good spot for him to
- 10:18Speaker 3: kind of fill the statue. He's been shooting the ball
- 10:20Speaker 3: terribly since he returned from from the injury, but the
- 10:23Speaker 3: nets are bottom two and turnover percentage. Suggs is a
- 10:26Speaker 3: very good defensive player. I think that we could see
- 10:29Speaker 3: him get the steals up there tonight. And then they're
- 10:32Speaker 3: also bottom five and transition scoring, so pretty good spot
- 10:34Speaker 3: for Suggs here. Yeah, just kind of need him to
- 10:38Speaker 3: get back to baseline with his shooting because he's been
- 10:41Speaker 3: awful over the last six games. But I definitely like
- 10:43Speaker 3: Sugs here and then Wine Carter Juni at four point
- 10:45Speaker 3: nine k definitely going to be in play, a good
- 10:48Speaker 3: matchup for centers. Always like attacking the nets with big
- 10:51Speaker 3: men that square around the basket, so Wendo is in play,
- 10:54Speaker 3: and then I would probably want to be like a
- 10:56Speaker 3: max two of Polo Black Suggs and actually I think
- 10:59Speaker 3: Max two overall of Orlando is pretty a good way
- 11:02Speaker 3: to go tonight, and that's probably the cutoff. We'll see
- 11:04Speaker 3: what they do down the line if they start to
- 11:06Speaker 3: give more minutes to guys like Penda and Jace Richardson,
- 11:08Speaker 3: But I probably doubt it.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think point guard's pretty solid on
- 11:13Speaker 2: this late, probably the best position right now. So I'm
- 11:15Speaker 2: not even exactly sure if I believe twenty four percent
- 11:18Speaker 2: for Sugs. Maybe, but yeah, like you mentioned, a solid
- 11:21Speaker 2: matchup if the game stays somewhat close and these guys
- 11:24Speaker 2: do get their full minutes. Sugs Bain Paulo, I never
- 11:28Speaker 2: really love playing Bain, Like you said, Paulo Suggs, I
- 11:31Speaker 2: don't know how much I love playing two Magic on
- 11:33Speaker 2: this late but it's fine. I guess, probably one of
- 11:36Speaker 2: the least appealing games on this late though, And that's
- 11:39Speaker 2: I think is a very easy cross off. Like you could.
- 11:41Speaker 3: Probably be max one of the whole game, but max
- 11:45Speaker 3: one each side makes a lot of sense.
- 11:47Speaker 1: I was looking.
- 11:47Speaker 3: I like to look at like the line star perfect
- 11:49Speaker 3: lineup stuff, and the Nets and the Magic are like
- 11:55Speaker 3: two of the worst teams, Like they rarely have guys
- 11:57Speaker 3: that make the perfect lineup, so more often than not,
- 12:00Speaker 3: you're better off fading these teams entirely.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Yep, all right, Next game on the slate, Washington Wizards
- 12:05Speaker 2: and the Detroit Pistons, biggest favorites on the slate of
- 12:08Speaker 2: the Pistons at fourteen and a half two twenty six
- 12:11Speaker 2: and a half total. In this one, on the Washington side,
- 12:15Speaker 2: no trade Johnson, and they traded Middleton, and that's or
- 12:19Speaker 2: no Bagley either, So Baguley got traded, Middleton got traded,
- 12:24Speaker 2: Branham got traded, and then Trey Johnson's out. I think
- 12:27Speaker 2: I got that right. On the Detroit side, cade's questionable
- 12:31Speaker 2: Tobias is questionable. Yeah, I mean I'll start right there.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Do you have any leans on those two Q tags
- 12:36Speaker 2: because that could could change some things. When I'm looking
- 12:39Speaker 2: at the spread, though, it feels like they're probably playing.
- 12:42Speaker 2: But yeah, what do you see in this game?
- 12:44Speaker 3: I mean, they'll probably even if they miss, I would
- 12:46Speaker 3: expect de Troy to be heavily favorited fourteen and a half,
- 12:50Speaker 3: yeah against Washington. Washington is going to be a headache
- 12:54Speaker 3: moving forward, Like they're gonna be tanking really hard right
- 12:56Speaker 3: now because the tank race is really really tight. I
- 13:00Speaker 3: think that they're gonna I think they would smoke them
- 13:02Speaker 3: regardless if so.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Do you think if that might sit, Like you think
- 13:05Speaker 2: it's fourteen and a half without kid and it's like seven,
- 13:07Speaker 2: I mean, Caid's got to be worth at least one
- 13:10Speaker 2: and a half points at least, I would.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Say, yeah maybe, Yeah, I'm not sure how much higher
- 13:17Speaker 3: you can actually go, but yeah, I think that. I
- 13:20Speaker 3: just think that they should be favored by like thirteen,
- 13:23Speaker 3: regardless of Kate or Tobia's plane is kind of how
- 13:25Speaker 3: it is. Yeah, I mean we'll get the news before
- 13:29Speaker 3: the slight starts, so we can kind of talk through
- 13:31Speaker 3: both scenarios, but for the Washington side, yeah, I think
- 13:33Speaker 3: it's gonna be really, really difficult to roster this team
- 13:36Speaker 3: moving forward. I think that they have enough bodies to
- 13:40Speaker 3: give guys a lot of minutes, So you're now also
- 13:43Speaker 3: paying a premium for guys like bub Carrington and Keishan,
- 13:46Speaker 3: George and Alex Are and they probably won't be We're
- 13:49Speaker 3: probably not seeing that like thirty six plus minute seeling
- 13:52Speaker 3: that we've seen from these.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Guys moving forward.
- 13:54Speaker 3: I think if you're considering them, you're probably assuming that
- 13:58Speaker 3: the game is going to stay close. So I would
- 13:59Speaker 3: say like Sar and George to have a Pistons bringback
- 14:03Speaker 3: would make a little bit of sense to me. I
- 14:04Speaker 3: also don't know if you really need to force that rule.
- 14:06Speaker 3: I'm personally just gonna be pretty underweight on Sar and
- 14:09Speaker 3: George because the matchup one is terrible, and too, they're
- 14:11Speaker 3: probably not playing a lot of minutes. So that gets
- 14:14Speaker 3: me onto the value plays. I think that these guys
- 14:16Speaker 3: are definitely in play here. There's three guys that are
- 14:18Speaker 3: really standing out to me. One is just in Champagnee
- 14:21Speaker 3: at five K, he should be pretty clear for minutes
- 14:23Speaker 3: moving forward with Middleton gone. Just like the lack of
- 14:26Speaker 3: depth that they have at the wing position should be
- 14:28Speaker 3: pretty good for him moving forward, and it's an okay
- 14:31Speaker 3: matchup for him. Pistons are a little bit more vul
- 14:35Speaker 3: vulnerable at the at defending the three point line, so
- 14:37Speaker 3: I think it's an okay spot for him. And then
- 14:40Speaker 3: next would be Tristan Vuksovich Vuksevich. He's been out for
- 14:44Speaker 3: a while. I don't really know if that was truly
- 14:47Speaker 3: injury related or if it was more so they're just
- 14:49Speaker 3: holding him out until the trade deadline, but he'll have
- 14:53Speaker 3: a lot of fantasy appeal moving forward.
- 14:54Speaker 1: I think he should be the backup direct backup to Sarrow.
- 14:57Speaker 3: There might even be a little bit of overlap for them,
- 14:59Speaker 3: just because they have like Anthony gill Is their next
- 15:01Speaker 3: man up as a as their center. I don't really
- 15:04Speaker 3: think that they're interested in playing him much, but Vukcevich
- 15:07Speaker 3: has been a pretty good permanent producer in his career,
- 15:10Speaker 3: and he's really cheap now just three point six k
- 15:13Speaker 3: only center eligible, which kind of sucks, but I'm definitely
- 15:17Speaker 3: willing to take some shots on him. I like him
- 15:20Speaker 3: more points per dollar wise than Sorrow tonight. And then
- 15:23Speaker 3: the last guy Will mentioned, I guess there's two more.
- 15:25Speaker 3: One is Will Riley. He has a chance to start.
- 15:27Speaker 3: I think it'll be him and Chimpennee kind of splitting
- 15:30Speaker 3: those power forward minutes. And he's been okay the season
- 15:33Speaker 3: as a permanent producer. Should be a guy that plays
- 15:35Speaker 3: in a blowout as well.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Young guy with a.
- 15:37Speaker 3: Little bit of talent, so he'll be in there regardless,
- 15:41Speaker 3: but could play in a blowout. And then Jamiir Watkins
- 15:43Speaker 3: is the one guy that I have a good amount
- 15:44Speaker 3: of interest in at three point two K. We've seen
- 15:46Speaker 3: times where he really spikes for big minutes when the
- 15:48Speaker 3: game blows out, and it seems like he's the direct
- 15:51Speaker 3: backup to blow Cool Bali kind of a defensive stopper,
- 15:55Speaker 3: so I like him.
- 15:55Speaker 1: At three point two K.
- 15:57Speaker 3: Some rules that I am considering, But if you are
- 16:00Speaker 3: just not considering playing much Washington, then you could just
- 16:02Speaker 3: say Max two and cover it all. But it would
- 16:05Speaker 3: be Max one of Sar and Vuksavag for me, Max
- 16:09Speaker 3: one of bub Carrington and.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Sharif Cooper. If you're considering him, Max one of Watkins
- 16:16Speaker 1: and Cool Bali, and I think that's it.
- 16:22Speaker 2: You don't plan on getting any like kol Bali or Jeorge.
- 16:25Speaker 2: And I already know you said you didn't love Sar
- 16:27Speaker 2: that much. Either you're playing one fifty, but like you
- 16:30Speaker 2: don't you probably like if you were playing twenty teams
- 16:33Speaker 2: or less, you're not playing any of those guys priced
- 16:35Speaker 2: above five K or beside Champenny.
- 16:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's pretty smart to just sex them out.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:42Speaker 1: On the Piston side, though, we'll talk about it with
- 16:44Speaker 1: Kate in.
- 16:44Speaker 3: If Kid is in this spot looks like a like
- 16:48Speaker 3: not one I really want to get too deep into.
- 16:50Speaker 3: It'd probably max two of Pistons if Kate would be in,
- 16:54Speaker 3: and I would probably like during the most at seven
- 16:56Speaker 3: point seven K obviously a really good matchup.
- 16:58Speaker 1: The Wizard's getting killed at the basket and.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Still one of the worst rebounding teams in the league,
- 17:02Speaker 3: so you can play him regardless. He obviously gets a
- 17:04Speaker 3: lot better if Kid were to be out, but I
- 17:06Speaker 3: like during the most right now matchup wise probably won't
- 17:09Speaker 3: get too much Kid. Obviously, it's a good matchup, but
- 17:13Speaker 3: blowout concerns, and he's also gonna be guarded by cool Bally,
- 17:16Speaker 3: which is slightly neutral to below average matchup for him,
- 17:19Speaker 3: so I'd be okay getting away from that. I definitely
- 17:22Speaker 3: don't want to play Tobias Harris at ownership, even though
- 17:24Speaker 3: he projects like a positive value, like he's just never
- 17:27Speaker 3: a guy that really blows away as slate, and I
- 17:28Speaker 3: think that you'll probably get better points per dollar upside
- 17:31Speaker 3: from the Bulls guys and even some of the other
- 17:34Speaker 3: later games. I'm okay getting away from him. That's probably
- 17:37Speaker 3: where I cut it off, though. If Kid would be out,
- 17:40Speaker 3: then we have to get a little creative because I
- 17:42Speaker 3: don't really know what they would do at the punk
- 17:44Speaker 3: guard position. They obviously just acquired Kevin Herder. I feel
- 17:47Speaker 3: like Herder is probably they probably traded for him to
- 17:50Speaker 3: be the replacement for Karris Lavert. Moving forward, I think
- 17:53Speaker 3: that they'll probably want him out there a little bit more,
- 17:55Speaker 3: just because he has a little bit more force facing
- 17:57Speaker 3: probably a better defender at this point of his career.
- 18:00Speaker 3: But they'll probably give Marcus Sasser a good amount of
- 18:03Speaker 3: minutes and maybe even he starts, there's also a chance
- 18:05Speaker 3: that they just go to sar Thompson as the starting
- 18:07Speaker 3: point guard. He's obviously a guy that came into the
- 18:10Speaker 3: league that was more of like looked at it like
- 18:11Speaker 3: a point guard, So I think that he would be.
- 18:14Speaker 3: He'd have a pretty solid role and obviously a really
- 18:16Speaker 3: good matchup where he could fill up the stat sheet.
- 18:18Speaker 3: So he'd probably be the number one guy I look to,
- 18:20Speaker 3: and then obviously Duran right there with him. But I see,
- 18:24Speaker 3: I saw somebody ask about Dennis Jenkins. I don't think
- 18:26Speaker 3: he's gonna play tonight. He's he's out and they're kind
- 18:29Speaker 3: of figuring out some contract stuff with him.
- 18:32Speaker 1: They have to convert him.
- 18:34Speaker 3: Yeah, he's in the G League, but they're basically just
- 18:36Speaker 3: trying to convert his contract into a like a two
- 18:38Speaker 3: year contract right now.
- 18:39Speaker 1: It's a little negotiation going on.
- 18:42Speaker 2: I would just say, like kid is out and they
- 18:44Speaker 2: go with sass Er. How would he compare to Jade
- 18:47Speaker 2: and Ivy if Sexton plays Jimir Watkins on the other side,
- 18:53Speaker 2: I know a little different position that way, But how
- 18:55Speaker 2: do you think Kawamer or whatever, like, how do you
- 18:59Speaker 2: think he would compare to the those those guys.
- 19:01Speaker 3: I would have iv ahead of him, but he'd probably
- 19:03Speaker 3: be the second and best value play in my eyes,
- 19:05Speaker 3: definitely ahead of Watkins and definitely I think probably ahead
- 19:08Speaker 3: of Sex and two.
- 19:10Speaker 2: Does Caid playing have any impact on like those Washington
- 19:13Speaker 2: value guys that might get more blow out run Yeah,
- 19:16Speaker 2: like if Kid plays, is more likely to blow out.
- 19:19Speaker 2: And like if he does play and you play Kate,
- 19:21Speaker 2: are you less likely to play maybe like a Will
- 19:25Speaker 2: Riley or something.
- 19:28Speaker 1: I'd probably be more likely to play those guys.
- 19:30Speaker 2: You'd be more likely. Yeah, yeah, because you think it's
- 19:33Speaker 2: a blow it excuse me.
- 19:34Speaker 3: Yeah, the uh yeah, So the blowout lineup is going
- 19:38Speaker 3: to be obviously Sar George Coolbally will not be out there.
- 19:42Speaker 3: They've been a lot less likely to play Bubb in
- 19:44Speaker 3: a blowout where they were earlier this season, like he's
- 19:47Speaker 3: been below thirty minutes in each of the last five games.
- 19:50Speaker 3: So it'd probably be depending on what they wouldn't do
- 19:55Speaker 3: between Gil and champagnee I think, but it'd be Riley, Vuksevich,
- 20:00Speaker 3: Watkins and Cooper for sure as four guys, So then
- 20:04Speaker 3: it would be between Gil or Champagne is the last guy.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Yeah, probably, That makes it interesting. Like, I mean, they're
- 20:12Speaker 2: fourteen to a half point favorites, and I gotta expect
- 20:15Speaker 2: maybe probably some blowed assuming k does play, so Watkins
- 20:19Speaker 2: Vuksevich Riley looks to be really low on Like that's
- 20:23Speaker 2: like definitely an off the board. If you're eating tons
- 20:25Speaker 2: of chalk and there's a lot of chalk people will
- 20:26Speaker 2: be eating. But I think Vuke, Savitch and Watkins are
- 20:29Speaker 2: pretty strong plays on this late there's a ton of value,
- 20:31Speaker 2: though there's no doubt which is gonna lead. Like on
- 20:34Speaker 2: this late Jalen Johnson is gonna be extraordinarily popular because
- 20:38Speaker 2: I mean, sorting by price, Jalen ten five k, ten
- 20:42Speaker 2: two against questionable and blow out risk wemb ten k,
- 20:46Speaker 2: and then the next highest is nine point five k,
- 20:48Speaker 2: So just naturally you're gonna get a lot of Wemby
- 20:51Speaker 2: and a lot of Jalen Johnson. More starts than Scrubs build.
- 20:55Speaker 2: So yeah, we've had a lot of as the as
- 20:57Speaker 2: the season goes on and the later it gets, that's
- 21:00Speaker 2: kind of like what NBA DFS turns into. You try
- 21:02Speaker 2: and find studs that are playing for something and playing
- 21:05Speaker 2: a lot of minutes, and you almost always have a
- 21:07Speaker 2: ton of value, especially this time with the trade deadline,
- 21:10Speaker 2: and once we get into March, you'll be seeing random
- 21:12Speaker 2: names and stuff pop up. So yeah, we've had a
- 21:14Speaker 2: similar slate like this the past couple of days, and
- 21:17Speaker 2: Washington value is definitely in the mix, competing with some
- 21:20Speaker 2: Bulls value that we're going to get to. Someone asked
- 21:23Speaker 2: to j and Ivy get traded this he did. He's
- 21:26Speaker 2: on the Chicago Bulls and they're definitely going to be popular.
- 21:29Speaker 2: Like Real mentioned from the top seven that point favorites
- 21:32Speaker 2: other raptors two twenty six and a half total in
- 21:34Speaker 2: this one on the Chicago side, no Josh Giddy, no trade.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Jones Io got traded, Dang got traded. And Colin Sexon,
- 21:45Speaker 2: like you mentioned, is questionable. He did get traded here,
- 21:49Speaker 2: like you said, usually they don't play this early, but
- 21:51Speaker 2: they might need them to. I don't know if you
- 21:53Speaker 2: have any lean there. Toronto side, we'll get that news
- 21:56Speaker 2: more than likely before a lot, But Toronto side, no
- 21:59Speaker 2: RJ Bay and that's it there. I mean, yeah, just
- 22:02Speaker 2: sorting my ownership on the bull side. Again, assuming Sexons
- 22:06Speaker 2: in we're looking at, is that right? Assuming sections in
- 22:09Speaker 2: it's eight, it'd be.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Nine with sections because they have Mac McClung two.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Oh and he's not even the playerpool. He's in the playerpool. Yeah,
- 22:16Speaker 2: that makes sense. Yeah, I guess. I mean, you can
- 22:20Speaker 2: just see all this ownership right here. We're just talking
- 22:22Speaker 2: about Kaywa Murra yesterday. Now he's gonna find himself as
- 22:26Speaker 2: one of the more popular plays on the slate. My
- 22:29Speaker 2: question is, though these Raptors are really low owned, they
- 22:32Speaker 2: have some studs and it's only a seven and that
- 22:34Speaker 2: point total against backups. So I'm pretty interested in getting
- 22:37Speaker 2: some runbacks on Toronto at ownership. Curiously, year take there.
- 22:40Speaker 2: You can start Chicago or that side if you want,
- 22:43Speaker 2: but yeah, I'm definitely interested in in some Toronto pieces.
- 22:47Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the first thing that stood out was
- 22:49Speaker 3: earlier in the day, Saber was so high on these
- 22:51Speaker 3: bulls guys. I mean I think they had matas at
- 22:54Speaker 3: like forty eight earlier. Obviously they brought it down a
- 22:57Speaker 3: little bit because Sexon they had to put him in
- 22:59Speaker 3: there wasn't initially projected, but he had a crazy high projection.
- 23:05Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, the he's a lot less likely
- 23:08Speaker 3: now to get yanked out like we saw earlier because
- 23:10Speaker 3: they're not really gonna be competing. So I feel like
- 23:12Speaker 3: now is kind of the time where you can just
- 23:15Speaker 3: let him play a lot of minutes and let him
- 23:17Speaker 3: make mistakes.
- 23:18Speaker 1: We'll see though.
- 23:19Speaker 3: I mean, Billy Donvin's still really really hard on Matas
- 23:22Speaker 3: in particular, but it just makes it a lot tougher
- 23:25Speaker 3: tonight for him to dial back the minutes. But yeah,
- 23:28Speaker 3: you're definitely gonna want to get a good amount of
- 23:31Speaker 3: these bulls guys. I'm not really thinking about it in
- 23:33Speaker 3: terms of who has the best matchup. It's more just
- 23:35Speaker 3: who's gonna be playing the most minutes and then kind
- 23:38Speaker 3: of looking to group away guys that I think could
- 23:40Speaker 3: be eating into each other's minutes. Upside the bigs, it's
- 23:43Speaker 3: gonna be pretty much all Jalen Smith and Lachlann Oldbrick
- 23:47Speaker 3: as the centers tonight. I think that they'll probably cover
- 23:51Speaker 3: the forty eight, probably get like twenty six from Jalen
- 23:54Speaker 3: Smith twenty two from Oldbrick. I would imagine Jalen Smith
- 23:57Speaker 3: also has a chance to get injured mid game because
- 23:59Speaker 3: he had a they listed as a calf cramp last game,
- 24:03Speaker 3: but it was more like a strain. Obviously not something
- 24:05Speaker 3: you really want to mess around with because I can
- 24:07Speaker 3: turn into a bigger issue. So I wouldn't be surprised
- 24:09Speaker 3: if it's more like twenty four to twenty four John
- 24:11Speaker 3: Smith Ulbrick and you're getting good ownership. I don't know
- 24:15Speaker 3: if what they have it at right now is actually
- 24:16Speaker 3: where it ends up. I feel like it's got to
- 24:18Speaker 3: be higher because he's gonna be in the rotation for sure.
- 24:21Speaker 2: Are they not gonna overlap at all? Saber definitely has
- 24:23Speaker 2: it projected that they will.
- 24:25Speaker 1: They didn't last game. I don't think that they will.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, they just don't really have the same center
- 24:31Speaker 3: depth until Nick Richards is ready for them to overlap
- 24:33Speaker 3: at all.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Something looks like Jales Smith is a little projected a
- 24:37Speaker 2: little too high based on what you're saying with your
- 24:39Speaker 2: minutes projection.
- 24:41Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking. I feel like
- 24:42Speaker 3: it could be a lot closer than they have it. So, yeah, Max,
- 24:46Speaker 3: one of those two guys. The wing depth is kind
- 24:50Speaker 3: of like it's the wings and the centers where they
- 24:52Speaker 3: have very little depth. Obviously, they have a plethora of guards.
- 24:55Speaker 3: Once Simon's and Sexton and Giddy and all these trade
- 24:59Speaker 3: Jones these guys come back, they're gonna have a lot
- 25:01Speaker 3: of a lot of guard depths, so they need to
- 25:03Speaker 3: figure that out. But tonight it's basically Patrick Williams, Isaacacorro,
- 25:08Speaker 3: and Matas As they're three to four. I guess you
- 25:10Speaker 3: can kind of group in Ocoro as like a two
- 25:14Speaker 3: to three because he's gonna have to mix in a
- 25:15Speaker 3: guard a lot tonight as well. I'm not really setting
- 25:19Speaker 3: a rule for those guys because I feel like they're
- 25:21Speaker 3: gonna play a good bit, especially Patrick Williams. He played
- 25:24Speaker 3: a ton last time and now he's probably starting. I
- 25:26Speaker 3: think that they're just gonna need him for a lot
- 25:28Speaker 3: of minutes. So he's a pretty solid probably one of
- 25:31Speaker 3: the better value plays on the Bulls, I would say,
- 25:33Speaker 3: just from a pure minute standpoint, and then Matas has
- 25:36Speaker 3: the clearest upside of the team. Like if there was
- 25:39Speaker 3: anybody on this team that's going for fifty plus, it
- 25:42Speaker 3: would probably be Matas. But he's almost seven K and
- 25:46Speaker 3: he's the one guy where you can kind of poke
- 25:47Speaker 3: holes in his matchup because he will see Scottie Barnes.
- 25:49Speaker 3: So that's like the one downside of playing him at
- 25:52Speaker 3: such high ownership. I definitely think that there's a little
- 25:54Speaker 3: bit more downside risk to him, just from like a
- 25:58Speaker 3: scoring like DFS wise standpoint for the guards, though, if
- 26:03Speaker 3: Sexton is out it's gonna be a lot of Jay
- 26:06Speaker 3: and Ivy and a lot of ki Kwa Mora if Ivy.
- 26:08Speaker 3: If Sexton is out, then I'm not setting any rules there.
- 26:11Speaker 3: But if he's in, I would want to be a
- 26:13Speaker 3: max two of Ivy Okoro and Ivy Ocoro, Sexton and
- 26:18Speaker 3: Cala Mora. But I think Ivy is probably the best play.
- 26:21Speaker 1: He's the one.
- 26:21Speaker 3: Guy like him and Matas are the two guys on
- 26:24Speaker 3: this team. I think that have the most long term
- 26:26Speaker 3: outside for the Bulls. So I feel like they're gonna
- 26:29Speaker 3: be They're not gonna be cautious with Ivy's minutes. I
- 26:31Speaker 3: think that they're going to be more like intentional with
- 26:34Speaker 3: his role. I think he'll have a really big role
- 26:36Speaker 3: for the Bulls this season, as long as gideat sideline.
- 26:38Speaker 3: So he's Him and Patrick Williams are my two favorites
- 26:41Speaker 3: on the Bulls tonight.
- 26:42Speaker 2: How many would be too many bulls? If you're playing
- 26:44Speaker 2: one of all Brooks smith you're playing Ivy. I guess
- 26:49Speaker 2: Saxon Interer out determines that question. So if Saxon's in
- 26:52Speaker 2: how many? How many bulls is too many?
- 26:55Speaker 3: It would probably pin you play for Yeah, I think
- 26:57Speaker 3: it's four probably fine. I'd have to exact because it's
- 27:01Speaker 3: just they only have seven guys that can that you
- 27:03Speaker 3: can actually roster, so it's gonna be tough not to
- 27:05Speaker 3: play them.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Like, what's how many minutes do you think mc clung's playing?
- 27:10Speaker 1: Twenty maybe twenty two?
- 27:12Speaker 2: Well more than I expected, because I mean, man like
- 27:15Speaker 2: Jake's asking a good question, how many minutes does Ivy getting?
- 27:18Speaker 2: Like they only haven't projected save for twenty six. That
- 27:20Speaker 2: feels a little light. I mean, if he's gonna I
- 27:23Speaker 2: think he's playing thirtys. I think he's playing thirty regardless. Yeah,
- 27:27Speaker 2: he said that he was healthy.
- 27:28Speaker 3: I was just looking at the Casey Johnson, who's the
- 27:32Speaker 3: be reporter for the Bulls. He just said, I've been
- 27:36Speaker 3: healthy this year. They just it just wasn't really working
- 27:39Speaker 3: in Detroit anymore. I just don't think that he was
- 27:42Speaker 3: a good fit. But obviously he had the nasty, nasty injury,
- 27:46Speaker 3: but that was in January twenty twenty five, so it's
- 27:48Speaker 3: been more than a year. I think that he is
- 27:49Speaker 3: fully healthy, so he's probably ready for big minutes. But
- 27:52Speaker 3: I think they said Billy Donovan's gonna be doing a
- 27:55Speaker 3: press game conference pretty soon a pregame presser that will
- 27:58Speaker 3: kind of determine who's in and who's out, So we'll
- 28:00Speaker 3: we'll know pretty soon.
- 28:02Speaker 2: Yeah, But I mean you could just see just the
- 28:04Speaker 2: whole slate sorting my ownership right now, the top six
- 28:08Speaker 2: guys on the slate in ownership are projected for the balls.
- 28:10Speaker 2: I don't know if I quite believe that. I believe that, Yeah, yeah,
- 28:15Speaker 2: all right, all right, yeah, but like Ivy will be like,
- 28:20Speaker 2: I think that fifty two percent even if sexons in,
- 28:23Speaker 2: you might be looking at high stakes. You might be
- 28:25Speaker 2: looking at eighty percent. Yeah, and M and me like
- 28:28Speaker 2: you might be looking at sixty plus. So yeah, just
- 28:32Speaker 2: take that how you will? All right? What about Yeah,
- 28:34Speaker 2: Toronto said, I, I mean that ownership. I think that's
- 28:37Speaker 2: pretty appealing in a couple of these guys.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I kind of struggle to see how
- 28:41Speaker 3: Chicago can keep the game close, So I was very
- 28:44Speaker 3: surprised about the spread being as close as it is.
- 28:46Speaker 3: But yeah, you definitely have to have interest in these guys.
- 28:48Speaker 3: It's similar to like the Pacers and the Jazz a
- 28:52Speaker 3: couple of nights ago, where you're going up against a
- 28:54Speaker 3: really shorthanded team, that probably, Like, I don't know if
- 28:58Speaker 3: any of these guys really projected to be good to
- 28:59Speaker 3: fight outside of Isaaca Korro, but even he's like kind
- 29:04Speaker 3: of limited on who he can who he can slow down.
- 29:08Speaker 3: Matas is a really good shop blocker for his position,
- 29:10Speaker 3: but not a great one on one defender. And the
- 29:12Speaker 3: Jalen Smith and Olbrick are I mean, Jay Smith is
- 29:15Speaker 3: injured and he's not gonna play a ton and then
- 29:17Speaker 3: Oldbrick is young and probably not very good.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Seah.
- 29:19Speaker 3: I definitely an interested in the Toronto side. I think
- 29:22Speaker 3: Scotty Barnes is the guy that I'm looking to for
- 29:24Speaker 3: upside though he was really close to a triple double
- 29:26Speaker 3: last game against Minnesota, and he does have that upside.
- 29:30Speaker 3: Archie Barrett's out, so a little bit more usage should
- 29:33Speaker 3: go his way. I never really like paying eight K
- 29:35Speaker 3: plus for Brandon Ingram, so he'd be a guy that
- 29:37Speaker 3: I'm okay not getting to a ton of uh. And
- 29:41Speaker 3: then quickly, I do like quickly pick and roll heavy
- 29:44Speaker 3: guards have been good against the Bulls this season, just
- 29:47Speaker 3: with their defensive scheme, so I do like, quickly here
- 29:49Speaker 3: a good bit.
- 29:50Speaker 1: It's just tough with these guys.
- 29:51Speaker 3: Only having one position that you can play them at. Yeah,
- 29:55Speaker 3: so it's a little like kind of restrictive, but yeah,
- 29:58Speaker 3: I'm okay with those two guys. And I do think
- 30:00Speaker 3: c MB called Murray Boyles could see his minutes get
- 30:02Speaker 3: pushed up a little bit here. He's been kind of
- 30:04Speaker 3: limited with Sandro playing thirty plaus off the bench, but
- 30:07Speaker 3: I think that a team like Chicago, maybe they just
- 30:09Speaker 3: want to get him more minutes, So I could see
- 30:11Speaker 3: him getting liked to twenty eight thirty here and he
- 30:13Speaker 3: could kind of fill the session in a big way
- 30:15Speaker 3: versus a team like Chicago's.
- 30:18Speaker 1: I like him.
- 30:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's an interesting shout on Murray Boyles
- 30:22Speaker 2: and really chalky teams like over spending a little bit
- 30:25Speaker 2: really doesn't mean too much on his slate when salary
- 30:27Speaker 2: so loose, Scotty and Quickly definitely look like the main ones.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Though.
- 30:32Speaker 2: I think Quickly is really strong and his ownership has
- 30:34Speaker 2: to be in check just because of how loaded point
- 30:37Speaker 2: guard is. What's up, Rodney, Yeah, he's out today, he.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Hasn't signed yet. They're going to get it done the
- 30:46Speaker 1: next day or two. Probably cool.
- 30:49Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely a good game to target though and keep
- 30:52Speaker 2: keep your eyes out for Colin Sex and news. That
- 30:54Speaker 2: definitely will be important. All right, next game on a slate,
- 30:58Speaker 2: Rio's Utah Jazz on the Atlanta Hawks. Not in that
- 31:01Speaker 2: point favorites of the Hawks big boy total two forty
- 31:04Speaker 2: four and a half. On the Utah side, no Keyante George,
- 31:08Speaker 2: no Jaron Jackson, no Conchard, no Vince Williams, and then
- 31:13Speaker 2: k Love is questionable. On the Atlanta side, it Congu
- 31:17Speaker 2: is still questionable with that nasty mouth injury, and obviously
- 31:21Speaker 2: Porzingis did get traded. I mean, I don't believe this
- 31:24Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson ownership one bit. I think that could be
- 31:27Speaker 2: like forty percent or something. You only have so many
- 31:30Speaker 2: options to spend, especially if Kid's out then the options
- 31:33Speaker 2: get even more limited. But I think Jalen Johnson will
- 31:36Speaker 2: be the first one people click, and I think Wemby
- 31:38Speaker 2: will probably be the second one if people spend up
- 31:41Speaker 2: and you have all the money in the world to save.
- 31:43Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I guess you can start Jalen Johnson,
- 31:46Speaker 2: But can we get any if you don't play Jalen Johnson,
- 31:49Speaker 2: it's CJ or it's Gnaw or Dyson Daniels. Can you
- 31:53Speaker 2: make any case there, I mean, what a great game
- 31:55Speaker 2: environment though, And yeah, shout out to Matt skuy Collier.
- 31:58Speaker 2: He's been a beast, has gone up. But you could
- 32:01Speaker 2: argue it's not high enough. I definitely still have interest
- 32:04Speaker 2: in some of these Jazz. Yeah you only start in
- 32:06Speaker 2: the Atlanta Saw. You said, Yeah, I think that's probably
- 32:10Speaker 2: a little tighter. But yeah, and the Jalen Johnson is
- 32:12Speaker 2: the one that, like, like I said, that's that ownership's
- 32:15Speaker 2: just not right. So what you do with him? And
- 32:18Speaker 2: I'm curious to hear if there's pivots, if you don't
- 32:20Speaker 2: play Jalen Johnson, I.
- 32:22Speaker 3: Kind of would just eat the chalk on Jalen, Like
- 32:23Speaker 3: I don't. It just sets up so perfectly for him
- 32:26Speaker 3: from a matchup standpoint. I just find it very difficult
- 32:29Speaker 3: to see a situation where he doesn't go for fifty
- 32:32Speaker 3: five plus. Personally, he went for ninety two against the
- 32:37Speaker 3: Jazz earlier the season, a little bit of a different
- 32:39Speaker 3: situation because the Jazz were healthier and playing a little
- 32:42Speaker 3: bit more competitive basketball. But I mean had nine points
- 32:45Speaker 3: spread or whatever it's at now. Ten points is close
- 32:47Speaker 3: enough to where you get full minutes. And this is
- 32:49Speaker 3: the premier game environment on the slate two hundred and
- 32:52Speaker 3: forty four total. The Jazz don't play defense. He's been
- 32:56Speaker 3: a permitted beast this season without Trey and Porzingis, So
- 33:00Speaker 3: now we'll get him like this for the rest of
- 33:02Speaker 3: the season and then if Okongo's out, then that just
- 33:05Speaker 3: solidifies his role even more at like a triple double
- 33:07Speaker 3: would be almost a lock in my opinion, Like he's
- 33:11Speaker 3: his role is really locked in now, even kind of
- 33:13Speaker 3: meshing with CJ mccalm a little bit more. See, I
- 33:16Speaker 3: think Jalen Johnson is the guy that like the top
- 33:18Speaker 3: spend up for me, and it's you're not getting that
- 33:20Speaker 3: by anybody, But I'm gonna be fine playing him at
- 33:24Speaker 3: any ownership personally as Yeah, as for the second guys, though,
- 33:29Speaker 3: definitely think that there's upside to Nikki, Alexander Dyson and
- 33:34Speaker 3: CJ just because the matchup is so so good for them.
- 33:39Speaker 3: I could see one of these guys putting up a
- 33:41Speaker 3: pretty big score for me. I think it's gonna be Dyson.
- 33:45Speaker 3: The Jazz did a really good job taking care of
- 33:47Speaker 3: the ball last game, only two turnovers from Sexton or
- 33:50Speaker 3: from Collier, and I think they had ten total as
- 33:54Speaker 3: a team, but that's not really their identity. They have
- 33:56Speaker 3: been a team that's very turnover prone. So I like
- 33:58Speaker 3: Dyson here. I think I like him the most with
- 34:01Speaker 3: the point guard shooting guard eligibility. But it's a really
- 34:03Speaker 3: good spot matchup wise for Nah and CG.
- 34:06Speaker 1: McCollum.
- 34:06Speaker 3: The Jazz be getting killed against three point shooters. Both
- 34:09Speaker 3: those guys will get up a ton here. It just
- 34:12Speaker 3: makes it a little bit tougher for you to like for
- 34:14Speaker 3: Nika Alexander to really pay off his price tag at
- 34:16Speaker 3: seven K, because he's gonna need like thirty real points. Uh,
- 34:20Speaker 3: just kind of losing some of the the peripheral stats
- 34:24Speaker 3: Dyson and CJ as they're kind of getting more actimated
- 34:26Speaker 3: into the team. See, I just kind of prefer I
- 34:29Speaker 3: prefer Dyson as my number one option behind Jalen Johnson,
- 34:33Speaker 3: then I would say CJ and then Nikiel. But if
- 34:37Speaker 3: you have a strong lean on any of them, then
- 34:39Speaker 3: I'm totally fine with that. Like all, I think one
- 34:41Speaker 3: of these guys does put up a pretty big score.
- 34:43Speaker 2: You're fine playing Nah like any of them, with Jalen
- 34:47Speaker 2: Johnson too, like three Kiels a little a little like Dyson,
- 34:50Speaker 2: No Jalen feels a little much, but you're fine playing
- 34:53Speaker 2: two of Jalen with one of CJ non Daniels.
- 34:57Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that's smart.
- 34:58Speaker 3: You could probably be max two of the entire group
- 35:00Speaker 3: of those four because I would be okay getting a
- 35:03Speaker 3: lineups that don't have Jalen and yeah, just say that
- 35:06Speaker 3: it's like two of those other guys that are getting
- 35:08Speaker 3: there taken away from him in like a one to
- 35:10Speaker 3: fifty set. But my preferred route would be Jalen plus
- 35:13Speaker 3: one of these guys, probably.
- 35:14Speaker 1: Dison or CJ. After that though, go ahead.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Hey what about a well the kongu q tag, like
- 35:21Speaker 2: if he plays, can can he be a little sneaky
- 35:24Speaker 2: at center? Is a pivot off of I mean, Nerk's
- 35:26Speaker 2: gonna get a little ownership on the other side of
- 35:28Speaker 2: this game. But I don't think many run to a
- 35:31Speaker 2: kongu even if he does play, and I mean it
- 35:33Speaker 2: was his mouth, so like it shouldn't really be a
- 35:35Speaker 2: minute's limit or like I would assume he jumps back
- 35:37Speaker 2: into his the same role.
- 35:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if he's if he's in that, he's
- 35:42Speaker 3: playing full minutes, like you said, It's just it's not
- 35:44Speaker 3: like he pulled a hamstring or anything like that, like
- 35:46Speaker 3: he'll be full. Yeah, I mean, great matchup for him.
- 35:49Speaker 3: You really need him to get hot shooting the ball
- 35:52Speaker 3: because that's like from beyond the arc. That's kind of
- 35:54Speaker 3: where you start to access the big upside from him
- 35:56Speaker 3: because he just doesn't do enough of the other things,
- 35:59Speaker 3: Like it'll be a little bit tougher for him to
- 36:01Speaker 3: really spike for a big rebounding game when Jalen Johnson's
- 36:04Speaker 3: playing as well as he is, So I'd be fine
- 36:06Speaker 3: with him, but I do have him a take behind
- 36:09Speaker 3: Nurkic and Duran personally.
- 36:12Speaker 1: If he's out, though.
- 36:13Speaker 3: Then you're getting the minutes swit between Moga and Coloco.
- 36:18Speaker 3: I don't really know what their plan is with them.
- 36:21Speaker 3: It's been kind of back and forth on who's getting
- 36:23Speaker 3: the minutes and who's starting, so I'm not super confident
- 36:26Speaker 3: those guys. I'd probably just rather play like Patrick Williams
- 36:28Speaker 3: and Lachlan Oldbrick personally, But yeah, I think that's probably it.
- 36:33Speaker 3: Like I just want the top four guys for Atlanta.
- 36:35Speaker 3: I just don't think that has enough upside. He's playing
- 36:39Speaker 3: very little minutes right now. It's a great matchup for
- 36:42Speaker 3: like Reesa Scha and Corey Kisspert.
- 36:44Speaker 1: If you want.
- 36:44Speaker 3: To take a shot on somebody as a pivot because
- 36:47Speaker 3: he's a really good three point shooter, I'd be okay
- 36:49Speaker 3: with that.
- 36:50Speaker 2: So much better value.
- 36:52Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So that's probably it for me on the
- 36:54Speaker 3: Atlanta side. For Utah, though, I'm gonna being the status
- 37:01Speaker 3: of the G League guys coming into the game because
- 37:03Speaker 3: they none of the G League guys played last night
- 37:06Speaker 3: and they did have a game. So John Tan, g
- 37:09Speaker 3: Oscar Sheebwe, and.
- 37:12Speaker 2: E J.
- 37:13Speaker 3: Harkless are the three G League guys that are likely
- 37:15Speaker 3: on the roster tonight. I don't know how much they
- 37:18Speaker 3: plan on playing them. I just think that they like
- 37:20Speaker 3: Will Hardy and the guys really want the team to
- 37:22Speaker 3: develop with their core, so I would imagine the guys
- 37:26Speaker 3: that they have available like it's gonna be a similar rotation.
- 37:29Speaker 3: I would imagine to what we saw from the Pacers,
- 37:32Speaker 3: assuming that Nurkic is starting, But if he's not starting,
- 37:36Speaker 3: then he could definitely, Yeah, he won't play like it's
- 37:41Speaker 3: if if nurkicen Sphe are off the bench, you can
- 37:45Speaker 3: probably play Spee because they're just so thin at guard.
- 37:48Speaker 3: But he's probably not playing more than twenty minutes and
- 37:50Speaker 3: then Nurkic.
- 37:51Speaker 1: Is a D and P risk.
- 37:52Speaker 3: But if Klev is out then and Nurkic is starting,
- 37:56Speaker 3: then I'd be okay, Like I would expect them to
- 37:58Speaker 3: play the game straight up.
- 38:00Speaker 2: He still feels pretty difficult. I'm miss slave to get
- 38:03Speaker 2: there at four K, but I mean, fire up Philipowski again.
- 38:06Speaker 2: If if Kevin loves out and and Nurkic isn't starting,
- 38:10Speaker 2: I mean, what a smash.
- 38:12Speaker 1: Yeah, And Will.
- 38:12Speaker 3: Hardy even said like he was okay playing these guys
- 38:15Speaker 3: a ton of minutes. He told Isaiahler before the game
- 38:17Speaker 3: that he was or I think even like mid game
- 38:19Speaker 3: he was like, don't don't foul because you're gonna play
- 38:22Speaker 3: the entire game. I think he said that he told
- 38:24Speaker 3: him before, and he's I think he's fine playing him
- 38:28Speaker 3: forty plus again here. So Collier is hands down the
- 38:32Speaker 3: top option for me. I mean, he just had such
- 38:34Speaker 3: an insane role. It's hard not to have the role
- 38:37Speaker 3: that he had playing forty eight minutes, and like thirty
- 38:39Speaker 3: six or thirty eight whatever you played the night before.
- 38:41Speaker 1: Obviously gonna see Dyson Daniels. I think it'll be Dyson
- 38:44Speaker 1: on him.
- 38:44Speaker 3: I don't know if they're gonna put Dyson on Lourie
- 38:46Speaker 3: or if they'll put like Resi Che or Jalen on Lourie.
- 38:49Speaker 3: Either way, he will see a tougher defender than he
- 38:51Speaker 3: saw the last couple of games. But just the tracking
- 38:54Speaker 3: sets were insane for him. Nine point six minutes of
- 38:56Speaker 3: touch time, twenty one potential assist. Yeah, he's like underprized
- 39:01Speaker 3: for the role that he had. So I'm totally fine
- 39:03Speaker 3: with Collier. I'm going to be playing a lot of him.
- 39:05Speaker 3: I think that he's playing thirty eight tonight with a
- 39:08Speaker 3: chance for forty eight again, so I'm cool with him
- 39:11Speaker 3: after like he's the only guy I'm really prioritizing. If
- 39:14Speaker 3: Nurkic is in in the starting lineup, then I'm cool
- 39:16Speaker 3: with him too, because it's a good matchup and we
- 39:18Speaker 3: have seen really big upset from him. Seven point four.
- 39:20Speaker 3: K probably starting to come down a little bit, Laurie,
- 39:23Speaker 3: I'd be a little bit cautious with he came off
- 39:25Speaker 3: of a really long illness. I don't really know how
- 39:30Speaker 3: real the illness was, but he's probably still not playing
- 39:32Speaker 3: like thirty six here. I'd be more comfortable playing like
- 39:36Speaker 3: the ace Baileys and Bryce sense of Baz maybe even
- 39:39Speaker 3: Cody Williams. He's been turning the corner a little bit,
- 39:41Speaker 3: but in comparison to the Bulls stuff, those guys are
- 39:44Speaker 3: pretty far down. I do like Ace though he played
- 39:46Speaker 3: forty minutes last game, and I think they're gonna really
- 39:50Speaker 3: ask a lot of him moving forward as long as
- 39:52Speaker 3: they're a little shorthanded. So I do like Ace. Probably
- 39:55Speaker 3: my third option on the on the Jets tonight.
- 39:58Speaker 2: There's like a sense of do they get any bumps
- 40:01Speaker 2: if Nurkic isn't starting, like a little more usage to
- 40:03Speaker 2: go around ball, doesn't like run through him as much
- 40:07Speaker 2: down low or no.
- 40:08Speaker 3: Correlation, Yeah, for sure. I mean Nurkisch is a guy
- 40:11Speaker 3: that will take up possessions. They like to run the
- 40:13Speaker 3: offense through him at time, So definitely having him off
- 40:16Speaker 3: the court, the ball has to go to somebody else.
- 40:17Speaker 3: I feel like it's just more Collier if anything. Like Yeah, Collier,
- 40:22Speaker 3: I do I agree with you on Philipowski because if
- 40:24Speaker 3: Nurkic is off the bench and Philipowski's starting, Collier and
- 40:28Speaker 3: Philipowski's minutes have lined up a lot over the last
- 40:32Speaker 3: two seasons, like they run the second unit together. They
- 40:36Speaker 3: have a lot of chemistry in the pick and roll,
- 40:37Speaker 3: So I do think even at sixty four hundred, like,
- 40:39Speaker 3: if people aren't playing him and he's starting, I would
- 40:42Speaker 3: really really like him.
- 40:44Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree. Would Kevin Love News do anything like? Yeah, Like,
- 40:49Speaker 2: let's say Kevin Love Nurkic isn't playing Kevin Love is
- 40:53Speaker 2: playing Philipowski still starts? Does that do anything with Philipowski?
- 40:57Speaker 1: If?
- 40:58Speaker 2: Like? Does that doc come a little bit with Kevin
- 40:59Speaker 2: Love still active? To like? But usually when he comes
- 41:02Speaker 2: off the bench, he doesn't like play that many minutes.
- 41:04Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm still not expecting a lot, if any
- 41:08Speaker 3: minutes from Kevin Love tonight because they called it a
- 41:10Speaker 3: Oscar sheibwey like they might just have him be the
- 41:12Speaker 3: emergency third center.
- 41:15Speaker 2: Yeah. I think at ownership like right now, some a
- 41:17Speaker 2: little bit of Toronto and then Utah, I think is
- 41:20Speaker 2: I mean obviously call here and I don't believe that
- 41:22Speaker 2: ownership one bit either. Again, when we talked on the
- 41:25Speaker 2: show Tuesday, I forget what we had call Here at
- 41:28Speaker 2: twelve percent on the show, and when it closed we
- 41:30Speaker 2: have him at thirty three percent. So projections ownership, it
- 41:34Speaker 2: all gets updated throughout the day, constantly be refreshing. You
- 41:37Speaker 2: should definitely not be building your NBA teams right now.
- 41:41Speaker 2: But yeah, that ten percent is definitely not not accurate,
- 41:45Speaker 2: and we will have it all reflected on how we
- 41:47Speaker 2: see it when it gets closer to Locke. Yeah, definitely
- 41:50Speaker 2: do not play Nirk if he's not starting, that's for sure. Yeah,
- 41:54Speaker 2: I think some of these depending on the starting lineup,
- 41:58Speaker 2: depending on if Nirk is in or if he's not.
- 42:00Speaker 2: Ace Bailey sense about Phil Powski. I really don't think
- 42:04Speaker 2: these guys are gonna get too too much ownership either,
- 42:06Speaker 2: So I like it. Any other thoughts there as we
- 42:09Speaker 2: can keep it rolling.
- 42:11Speaker 3: No, I'll just I mean, I'll probably drop some more
- 42:14Speaker 3: notes in the Jazz and the Discord if we get
- 42:16Speaker 3: any sort of reporting, but definitely expect some weird stuff
- 42:20Speaker 3: to happen moving forward. Just I gotta really just look
- 42:23Speaker 3: at what they're gonna do with the g leaguers, because
- 42:24Speaker 3: I think that's a big thing.
- 42:26Speaker 2: Yeah, and Real mentioned the Discord, very very valuable piece
- 42:30Speaker 2: of our content over here at chippination dot com. Shout
- 42:33Speaker 2: out to Rio, Shout out to littleneck in there a
- 42:35Speaker 2: lot Matt as well, how to get in the discord
- 42:37Speaker 2: chipination dot com. Join the nation, it'll say right there,
- 42:40Speaker 2: bottom left, and there's a daily pass for nine dollars
- 42:43Speaker 2: that doesn't include Discord. It does include Sabersim though. Four
- 42:46Speaker 2: more days though you do get for an extra ten
- 42:49Speaker 2: dollars five days nineteen dollars. You'll get Super Bowl Sunday content,
- 42:53Speaker 2: NBA content, PGA Showdown, MMA this Saturday, and NHL. So
- 42:58Speaker 2: no better deal there. I do think the best deal
- 43:02Speaker 2: right now is the five days, four nineteen dollars Discord
- 43:05Speaker 2: sabers Sim access to all of those sports. We'd love
- 43:08Speaker 2: to have you, yeah, as our guy right here. Discord
- 43:10Speaker 2: is amazing. Hey, even if you just like entertainment, you
- 43:13Speaker 2: can watch Schlube tilt his ass off in the golf
- 43:17Speaker 2: or the NHL channel pretty much twenty four to seven.
- 43:21Speaker 2: Love you, Shalub, but yeah, very few tilt like my
- 43:23Speaker 2: man Shaloop. So I was a lot of entertainment, even
- 43:26Speaker 2: if I.
- 43:26Speaker 1: Was just looking at the PGA Discord and that was
- 43:28Speaker 1: the first thing I saw.
- 43:30Speaker 2: He was tilted. Yeah, right right on, right on, Q
- 43:32Speaker 2: there you go. There you have it all right, we'll
- 43:35Speaker 2: keep it roll the next game on the slate Houston
- 43:37Speaker 2: Rockets and the Charlotte Hornets four and a half point
- 43:41Speaker 2: favorites of the Rockets two nineteen and a half total
- 43:43Speaker 2: injuries in this one. Nothing really to note on the
- 43:47Speaker 2: Hornet side. What the saloon is questionable doesn't mean anything
- 43:50Speaker 2: to me. Tarry Easton's questionable on the Houston side. Yeah,
- 43:54Speaker 2: two relatively healthy teams, and when that's the case this
- 43:57Speaker 2: late in the season, usually that means not much ownership.
- 44:00Speaker 2: A shout out to our guy Manning yesterday, what an
- 44:02Speaker 2: awesome score, but yeah, KD definitely let him down. If
- 44:06Speaker 2: you're playing anyone in this game, it feels like you're
- 44:08Speaker 2: picking the Spens and the game should be close even
- 44:10Speaker 2: with the low total. Not much injuries, but you really
- 44:13Speaker 2: see any spends in this one to get.
- 44:15Speaker 3: To Yeah, I mean, I think this game definitely, from
- 44:18Speaker 3: a game stacking standpoint, probably the best outside of the Jazz.
- 44:24Speaker 1: Just in the sense that the spreads close.
- 44:26Speaker 3: Obviously, not a super appealing game total, but I definitely
- 44:30Speaker 3: think that Toronto has a good chance to blow out Chicago.
- 44:34Speaker 3: But yeah, I think this game could stay close. Obviously,
- 44:36Speaker 3: the Hornet's one of the hotter teams in the NBA.
- 44:38Speaker 3: Playing really good on both ends of the court, and
- 44:41Speaker 3: the Rockets got embarrassed last night at home against the Celtics.
- 44:44Speaker 3: A shorthanded Celtics, mind you, they got blown out at home,
- 44:48Speaker 3: just gave up a ton of threes and a ton
- 44:50Speaker 3: of offensive rebounds, which is never really Boston's game. So
- 44:53Speaker 3: I do think that there are some areas to attack
- 44:55Speaker 3: this Houston defense with and the Yeah, the Hornets made
- 45:00Speaker 3: the move to grab Kobe White, which I think is
- 45:02Speaker 3: a pretty solid move for them. Gets a more bench scoring,
- 45:05Speaker 3: but they will be a little bit thin at guard tonight.
- 45:07Speaker 3: Not sure if Trey Man's going to be mixed in
- 45:10Speaker 3: at all. They haven't really shown a willingness to play
- 45:13Speaker 3: him much while they have a fully healthy team. Maybe
- 45:16Speaker 3: he gets like a rotation at each half, but I
- 45:18Speaker 3: would expect a little bit of bigger minutes for the
- 45:21Speaker 3: main starters tonight.
- 45:22Speaker 1: So I do like LaMelo at seven point ak.
- 45:25Speaker 3: Obviously a tougher matchup against Alman Thompson, but they'll ask
- 45:28Speaker 3: a lot out of Alman.
- 45:29Speaker 1: LaMelo is a pretty good pick and roll guy, so
- 45:31Speaker 1: I could see.
- 45:31Speaker 3: Him still getting up a ton of shots here and
- 45:33Speaker 3: doing well. He's played thirty minutes or more in each
- 45:36Speaker 3: of his last three games, so the minutes restriction slowly
- 45:39Speaker 3: starting to come off. I do have the most interest
- 45:41Speaker 3: in him at seven point ak, and then it would
- 45:44Speaker 3: probably be Miles Bridges at six point three, just because
- 45:47Speaker 3: he's really cheap. But nothing about the matchup for Miller
- 45:51Speaker 3: Connor Bridges really stands out.
- 45:52Speaker 1: It's just a pricing thing.
- 45:53Speaker 3: I would definitely want to be a max two of
- 45:55Speaker 3: those guys, and then Diabatte at five point two. I mean,
- 45:58Speaker 3: after seeing what to me as Kida did to them, like,
- 46:01Speaker 3: I don't think that there's an outside shot that Diabot
- 46:04Speaker 3: could have a similar outing. I don't think he's going
- 46:08Speaker 3: for like what fifty two or whatever.
- 46:11Speaker 2: He did last week.
- 46:12Speaker 1: That's true.
- 46:14Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, obviously very rare ninety nine percent outcome,
- 46:17Speaker 2: but we did just see it from him.
- 46:20Speaker 3: Yeah, But I mean it's a really good spot for him,
- 46:22Speaker 3: and he's one of the best rebounding centers in the league. Honestly,
- 46:25Speaker 3: like just rebounding percentage wise, he's up there with some
- 46:28Speaker 3: of the top guys. So I do think that there's
- 46:30Speaker 3: a chance if the if Houston comes out as flat
- 46:33Speaker 3: as they did against Cada, like we could see a
- 46:34Speaker 3: pretty solid game from Diabotse, So five point two K
- 46:38Speaker 3: looks like a pretty appealing price tag for him. That's
- 46:40Speaker 3: probably it, though. I don't think I'm a mess with
- 46:42Speaker 3: any of the bench guys. I just want most mostly
- 46:45Speaker 3: starters for Charlotte.
- 46:46Speaker 2: You said you think before you move the other side,
- 46:48Speaker 2: like all these starters, minutes you think are under projected
- 46:51Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 46:53Speaker 3: Not Brandon Miller or Cohn. I think that there are
- 46:55Speaker 3: you talking about the minute everyone?
- 46:57Speaker 2: Yeah, like let's say thirty for Miller, thirty one, oh yeah, yeah,
- 47:00Speaker 2: nine Filamelo, Yeah, I'd probably.
- 47:03Speaker 3: Say like Miller and Cohn probably like thirty four, thirty
- 47:06Speaker 3: five ish.
- 47:07Speaker 2: Yeah. I think at ownership, I think the Hornets are
- 47:09Speaker 2: a little interesting to his pivots, Like we're it's a
- 47:12Speaker 2: very chalky slate in terms of like the value is
- 47:15Speaker 2: gonna be pretty condensed with the bull stuff. Maybe a
- 47:17Speaker 2: little Washington Jalen Johnson is gonna be really chalky Wemby.
- 47:21Speaker 2: Like we know where ownership's going, it's gonna be high.
- 47:24Speaker 2: So trying to find possible pivots. Yeah, I think the
- 47:27Speaker 2: minutes are a little underprojected, and the game's supposed to
- 47:30Speaker 2: be close, which can't really say about all these so
- 47:32Speaker 2: I think it's pretty interesting.
- 47:36Speaker 1: For the Houston side.
- 47:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, this kind of gross, Like these
- 47:41Speaker 3: prices have been up all season long. I tend to
- 47:44Speaker 3: just lean with Sengoon when the prices are disclose between him,
- 47:47Speaker 3: KD and all men. He got ejected last night. I
- 47:52Speaker 3: don't know if it was true, but apparently he called
- 47:54Speaker 3: one of the female refs a derogatory term but the bword. Yeah,
- 48:00Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true, but I was just
- 48:01Speaker 3: kind of looking at watching the video on mute.
- 48:03Speaker 1: I don't know if it actually happened, But all.
- 48:05Speaker 2: Right, what are your thoughts? I don't want to. I
- 48:07Speaker 2: mean maybe I should if you have full under watch
- 48:09Speaker 2: and we don't want to get like but you know
- 48:11Speaker 2: what I mean, Like people are probably chirping mail rats
- 48:14Speaker 2: and calling them stuff that like that. I'm not sure
- 48:16Speaker 2: they're getting ejacted for based on his words. I don't know.
- 48:19Speaker 2: I don't know. If you want to answer anything, you can,
- 48:21Speaker 2: but I try, and I guess stay away from controversy.
- 48:24Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we'll talk about it, uh post show.
- 48:27Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but when the prices are this close, I'll
- 48:31Speaker 3: just probably lean with Sengoon just because he has an
- 48:34Speaker 3: easier shot to get there with like the rebounding and
- 48:36Speaker 3: assist upside. I do think that they could lean on
- 48:39Speaker 3: KD for a ton of minutes here, just because he's
- 48:41Speaker 3: been pretty limited. He had the ankle injury, missed the game,
- 48:43Speaker 3: then didn't play a lot in the two games prior.
- 48:48Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that he'd be the guy that
- 48:50Speaker 3: maybe has a little bit a little bit of upside
- 48:52Speaker 3: in his price side. But I really don't like paying
- 48:54Speaker 3: nine K for Kevin Durant at just what the role
- 48:57Speaker 3: that he has with his team, So I'm I don't know,
- 49:00Speaker 3: I'm kind of torn. I'll probably just be a MAX
- 49:01Speaker 3: one of like the Senggoon KD Amen or probably Max
- 49:04Speaker 3: two just to make it easier. I'll be okay getting
- 49:06Speaker 3: a couple of these guys just with all the value
- 49:08Speaker 3: on the slate. I do lean Sangoon, but I wouldn't
- 49:10Speaker 3: be surprised if we see like forty minutes from KD
- 49:12Speaker 3: tonight and then a man's gonna have his hands full guarding.
- 49:15Speaker 1: LaMelo can obviously still.
- 49:17Speaker 3: Get there, but he's been a pretty low permanent guy
- 49:21Speaker 3: with the team fully healthy, So you're kind of just
- 49:23Speaker 3: banking on him getting like forty two minutes, which he
- 49:26Speaker 3: probably will, and then maybe falling into like a double
- 49:28Speaker 3: double with rebounds or assist and that kind of be
- 49:31Speaker 3: the way that he accesses his ceiling. Not playing Jabari
- 49:34Speaker 3: at six point six and then Tari with the question
- 49:36Speaker 3: tag is somewhat interesting because I could make the rolls
- 49:39Speaker 3: a little bit better for the starting guys, but he's
- 49:41Speaker 3: more of like the off ball guy, you know. I
- 49:43Speaker 3: don't really think that the guys that would get an
- 49:45Speaker 3: uptick of minutes between like Shepherd and a Kogi or
- 49:48Speaker 3: even like Aaron Holliday are really much in play at
- 49:50Speaker 3: these price tags. So really just focusing in on the
- 49:53Speaker 3: top three guys for Houston.
- 49:55Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I think it's hard to get to most
- 49:57Speaker 2: of these teams value outside of like the Washington and
- 50:00Speaker 2: the Bulls, maybe a little Detroit. So when that's the case, yeah,
- 50:05Speaker 2: like KD forty minutes, I mean I'll play that. I
- 50:08Speaker 2: think it's interesting if you want to go like a
- 50:10Speaker 2: KD or a Singoon and then play like a Brandon
- 50:12Speaker 2: Miller or Cohn or LaMelo, like if you are fading
- 50:15Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson I think that's one way you can get
- 50:17Speaker 2: a little different, like load up on the mid tier
- 50:20Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah, it's also worth noting this is
- 50:22Speaker 2: a four and nat point spread. I see fifteen and
- 50:25Speaker 2: a half, nine and a half, nine and a half,
- 50:27Speaker 2: eight and a half, and seven and a half. I
- 50:29Speaker 2: don't really play for like ots. I mean we saw
- 50:31Speaker 2: it yesterday. You definitely needed some of those OT games yesterday.
- 50:34Speaker 2: But yeah, if you bank OT in this one and
- 50:37Speaker 2: some of the others blow out, you could see a
- 50:39Speaker 2: little mini stack kd LaMelo something like that, So pretty interesting.
- 50:44Speaker 2: Definitely don't get to value if Targe Easton plays, would
- 50:47Speaker 2: you have an interest at six three or no?
- 50:50Speaker 3: I mean, if it's a true questionable tag, I think
- 50:53Speaker 3: it is, like he's always had this left leg injury
- 50:56Speaker 3: management thing, so I would think that they probably pretty
- 50:59Speaker 3: could like they're not playing him thirty plus minutes anymore.
- 51:02Speaker 3: I would imagine what that entry tag is also a
- 51:05Speaker 3: very odd injury tech for him because he's had the
- 51:08Speaker 3: same injury tag over the last like three or four seasons. Yeah,
- 51:13Speaker 3: there was a lot of like speculation with what was
- 51:15Speaker 3: going on with that injury, So I don't really know.
- 51:19Speaker 2: Kadi or Scottie Barnes. I don't know. I don't really
- 51:24Speaker 2: hate when go check projections. Yeah, no, I mean it's
- 51:27Speaker 2: it's really tough. All right. We'll get to the last
- 51:30Speaker 2: game of this late. I appreciate everyone hanging out watching live,
- 51:33Speaker 2: watching on playback. All we ask for is the like

- 52:07Speaker 2: the Discord dropping their thoughts there. So shout out to
- 52:10Speaker 2: our whole team and shout out to the members in
- 52:12Speaker 2: Discord that help bring some content and hey, help make
- 52:16Speaker 2: people laugh like my man, Chaloup, hope your golf teams
- 52:19Speaker 2: turn it around a little bit. My man. Last game
- 52:22Speaker 2: of the night eight thirty Eastern San Antonio Spurs and
- 52:24Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks eight and that point. Favorites of the
- 52:27Speaker 2: Spurs two thirty and a half total in this one.
- 52:30Speaker 2: On the Spurs side, Dylan Harper and Kelly olynnot questionable.
- 52:35Speaker 2: Luke Cornett is out. On the Dallas side no PJ.
- 52:39Speaker 2: Washington still and then Brandon Williams and Daniel Gafford are questionable. Man,
- 52:45Speaker 2: all I got to say is Cooper Flag is really,
- 52:48Speaker 2: I guess not turn a new leaf. The dude's been
- 52:50Speaker 2: a stud for a while, but it took them a
- 52:52Speaker 2: little bit to adjust to the NBA game. And yeah,
- 52:55Speaker 2: I mean you can see the confidence they have getting
- 52:57Speaker 2: rid of a d and stuff they're building around Flag
- 52:59Speaker 2: and right fully so. So. I mean Roschel in thirteen percent,
- 53:04Speaker 2: he still hasn't projected well like in this awesome stretch.
- 53:07Speaker 2: He really hasn't projected great, but he keeps getting the
- 53:09Speaker 2: job done at lownership for people. So maybe a contrarian
- 53:12Speaker 2: spend there, I think Wemby two interesting to hear your
- 53:16Speaker 2: take on Wemby's minutes in this one, but there's just
- 53:19Speaker 2: really not many spends if you don't play Jalen Johnson Wemby.
- 53:22Speaker 2: It feels like is the next one to click on? So, yeah,
- 53:24Speaker 2: what do you see in this one?
- 53:25Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 53:26Speaker 3: I mean Wemby only played twenty eight minutes last night,
- 53:28Speaker 3: obviously back to back. But I mean, if it's really
- 53:31Speaker 3: just if Dallas can hang around, is he going to
- 53:33Speaker 3: be able to play full minutes?
- 53:37Speaker 1: I think they could, but I don't know.
- 53:38Speaker 3: They looked really bad outside a flag against against Boston.
- 53:44Speaker 3: I mean, it's been kind of it's really tough for
- 53:47Speaker 3: Dallas to compete when you only have one guy that's
- 53:49Speaker 3: really producing. They don't. He's just kind of not surrounded
- 53:53Speaker 3: with enough talent to keep games close. But yet again, okay,
- 53:57Speaker 3: see was down ever since one of their main So
- 54:00Speaker 3: there's a chance here, But I think it's going to
- 54:02Speaker 3: really have to come from a huge flag game. We'll
- 54:04Speaker 3: talk about him once we get to Dallas, but I
- 54:06Speaker 3: think Wenby is pretty solid here at ten K. Obviously
- 54:09Speaker 3: really good matchup. Dallas trending down on defense. Daniel Gafford
- 54:13Speaker 3: is a guy we like to attack. He went for
- 54:15Speaker 3: seventy against Dallas earlier this season. Averaging thirty two point
- 54:19Speaker 3: two points per seventy five against Gafford in their head
- 54:21Speaker 3: to head matchup, so it's a really good matchup for Wenby.
- 54:24Speaker 3: I'm definitely interested in him tonight. I honestly got pretty
- 54:28Speaker 3: lucky like being low on Wemby last night. I was
- 54:32Speaker 3: pretty high in him before late swapping and then didn't
- 54:35Speaker 3: really check my exposure and only had ten percent of him,
- 54:37Speaker 3: and I was really kicking myself because I wanted more.
- 54:40Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, okay, see, he kept it close
- 54:42Speaker 3: and he hypothetically should have got more minutes, but just
- 54:45Speaker 3: didn't really produce a ton So we'll see what they do.
- 54:48Speaker 3: They could just manage his minutes again like they did
- 54:51Speaker 3: last night. I think that this is probably a game
- 54:53Speaker 3: they feel like they can win if they don't play
- 54:55Speaker 3: him full. Yeah, I definitely am interested in him a
- 54:58Speaker 3: ten K. It's a good price said, good matchup. I
- 55:01Speaker 3: think I like Castle over Fox tonight. He only played
- 55:04Speaker 3: twenty six was in a lot of foul trouble most
- 55:06Speaker 3: of the game. He should be the primary defender on
- 55:10Speaker 3: Cooper Flag tonight. I think that they'll put him on there.
- 55:11Speaker 3: I'm not sure if they would go Champagney, but I
- 55:15Speaker 3: think that Castle probably matches up a little bit better.
- 55:17Speaker 3: Foul has Flag has been drawing a lot of fouls
- 55:21Speaker 3: recently over the last three games, so I think that
- 55:23Speaker 3: there definitely is some downside risk to playing Castle. But
- 55:26Speaker 3: on offense, he should have very little resistance scoring the
- 55:30Speaker 3: way that he does, which is around the basket. That's
- 55:31Speaker 3: a really really weak rim defense. I'm cool with Castle,
- 55:34Speaker 3: would probably prefer Wemby over him. That's probably where I
- 55:38Speaker 3: cut it off. I think if Harper is out, doesn't
- 55:41Speaker 3: really do a ton like we saw them kind of
- 55:44Speaker 3: spread out the minutes between Keldon Vessel and Harrison Barnes
- 55:47Speaker 3: with Harper out, So I don't really think that it
- 55:50Speaker 3: changes much. Olynik being out definitely doesn't change much. I mean,
- 55:55Speaker 3: maybe they look to get Carter Brian going a little
- 55:57Speaker 3: bit more about it. I think it's a little thin,
- 55:58Speaker 3: So it's probably just Wemby and Castle for me. Okay,
- 56:03Speaker 3: for the Dallas side, yeah, Kuber Flag obviously been crushing
- 56:06Speaker 3: it last three games one hundred and nineteen points score total,
- 56:10Speaker 3: and those were against three really tough opponents Boston, Houston
- 56:13Speaker 3: and Charlotte, like three of the top defenses this season,
- 56:16Speaker 3: if not over the last couple of weeks. Spurs obviously
- 56:19Speaker 3: up there as well, but a little bit worse as
- 56:21Speaker 3: of late. Yeah, the role has just been insane. Six
- 56:24Speaker 3: point three minutes a touch time, thirty five point three
- 56:27Speaker 3: percent usage, twelve point seven potential assists, ten point three rebounds,
- 56:31Speaker 3: and then also leading the league and drives at twenty
- 56:33Speaker 3: two point three over those last three games. You take
- 56:37Speaker 3: away Anthony Davis and all the other guys that they
- 56:41Speaker 3: traded away, he's got a very solid permanent production. Obviously,
- 56:43Speaker 3: one point two eight fantasy points minute really good for
- 56:47Speaker 3: his price. SECT think that in a close game he's
- 56:49Speaker 3: probably playing thirty six minutes. But I definitely think that
- 56:53Speaker 3: Dallas moving forward will be will be tanking. So definitely
- 56:56Speaker 3: gona keep an eye on that. But all in all,
- 56:58Speaker 3: I do like him at eight point seven K. I
- 56:59Speaker 3: think the matchup is is okay, but I just really
- 57:02Speaker 3: really think that the role is strong for him. I
- 57:04Speaker 3: think Gafford has a good chance to sit. I mean,
- 57:07Speaker 3: he's been getting like real he always is a guy
- 57:09Speaker 3: that just gets injured mid game, but especially as of late,
- 57:12Speaker 3: he's been picking up a ton of mid game injuries.
- 57:14Speaker 3: I don't know if they if there's really a need
- 57:16Speaker 3: to play him. Tonight, he came back in that last one,
- 57:19Speaker 3: didn't he he did. I don't know if if it
- 57:21Speaker 3: was at halftime like he got somebody started over him,
- 57:24Speaker 3: but he did come back.
- 57:24Speaker 1: Into the game.
- 57:25Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't come out at halftime and start, but
- 57:28Speaker 2: then he returned to the game after it.
- 57:30Speaker 3: Yeah, but if he's out, then it'll be Dwight Powell
- 57:34Speaker 3: and Musasise getting the center minutes.
- 57:36Speaker 1: I mean, give me Musa Sisa all day.
- 57:38Speaker 3: I like him a lot the last There's been a
- 57:41Speaker 3: couple of games that Gafford has missed the season obviously,
- 57:43Speaker 3: and in the games where he has played twenty plus minutes,
- 57:47Speaker 3: which has been four times out of like ten, he's
- 57:50Speaker 3: averaging twenty nine point one five DK points for game.
- 57:53Speaker 3: So really really strong permanent producer when he does get
- 57:55Speaker 3: the minutes, And this feels like a better spot for
- 57:57Speaker 3: him against Wemby than it does for Dwight Piloce I
- 58:01Speaker 3: would I definitely have some interest in CSA if Gafford
- 58:04Speaker 3: does get ruled out.
- 58:06Speaker 2: How do you put like, this game's on an island
- 58:08Speaker 2: at a thirty eastern there's only one Houston Charlotte not
- 58:11Speaker 2: getting much ownership thirty minutes before, So if we don't
- 58:14Speaker 2: have that news by seven thirty eastern, Like, are you
- 58:17Speaker 2: gonna manually bump C says projection and force yourself to
- 58:21Speaker 2: get some and like he's gonna be unowned regardless or
- 58:24Speaker 2: is there too much risk on a slate like you
- 58:26Speaker 2: mentioned the all Brick, like there's there's so much value
- 58:29Speaker 2: where if Gafford does play and feel pretty bad playing SESA, wouldn't.
- 58:33Speaker 3: It Yeah, I mean there's just no way that you
- 58:35Speaker 3: can really prepare for that unless you'd have like you
- 58:39Speaker 3: need to have like three Dallas guys and not have
- 58:41Speaker 3: Wemby because you need like the flag Nausee and Gafford
- 58:46Speaker 3: and then I have no valueated lay games. Yeah, it'd
- 58:50Speaker 3: be really really tough to achieve that, So you'd probably
- 58:52Speaker 3: have to start with cisay like whatever, I don't know,
- 58:56Speaker 3: like ten fifty percent manually and then just kind of
- 58:58Speaker 3: hope that he gets the minutes. Yeah, otherwise or just
- 59:01Speaker 3: pretty much if we get the news early though, then
- 59:05Speaker 3: that'd be that'd be nice for sure.
- 59:09Speaker 2: I think I was gonna say, oh, yeah, isn't kill
- 59:11Speaker 2: Martin like one of your favorite players? God talking about
- 59:15Speaker 2: Discord that inside joke. If you're in Discard, you can
- 59:18Speaker 2: see Rio Rio Tilton Kale Mark. He still thinks he's
- 59:21Speaker 2: back in the Nevada days with his brother. He did
- 59:24Speaker 2: go on a nice.
- 59:24Speaker 1: Run with what Miami a few few years ago.
- 59:27Speaker 2: No, no talk about Nevada, Nevada. Yeah. Yeah, him and
- 59:31Speaker 2: his brother when they were taking over in the in
- 59:33Speaker 2: the tournament. I mean he was fine. I guess at miamis.
- 59:36Speaker 3: Just so frustrating seeing Cooper Flag have forty nine points
- 59:41Speaker 3: and then this guy is just over here trying to
- 59:42Speaker 3: dunk from like the free throw line over somebody like,
- 59:45Speaker 3: know your role, man.
- 59:47Speaker 2: That's good. How much do you think you would pair
- 59:50Speaker 2: like a Flag in Wemby? Obviously it makes sense the
- 59:52Speaker 2: closer the game, the more Wemby's minutes gets there. But
- 59:56Speaker 2: when you do that, you're probably not playing Jalen Johnson
- 59:58Speaker 2: as much. So, and he thought, like how much you
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: play those two together?
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: Yeah? I like that pairing.
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: I'm not sure exactly how much of it is gonna
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: consume my portfolio, but I would imagine I'd have a
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: good bit maybe like fifteen lineups with those guys together,
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: something like that, fifteen twenty something.
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: I do like that pairing a lot.
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: I think it does a good amount of upside if
- 1:00:19Speaker 3: they also keep it close, like we know where the
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: fantasy points are coming from.
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: Yeah, and the last thing Castle are Man Jordan, the
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: matchup man himself, good matchup for Castle. Yeah, if you
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: do go again, a new piece of content, fairly new
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: over your NBA DVP rankings, you can see Castle has
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: one of the best matchups at Shooting Guard and I'll
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: just kind of spoil stuff. Anyone really playing Utah has
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: one of the best matchups as well. It's been like
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: that all season long. And you can see the applied
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: points up here, one hundred and twenty five for Atlanta.
