- 2:11Speaker 1: a half fantasy points. SGA sat out the last game

- 2:22Speaker 1: you know what I mean, when they when it's time
- 2:24Speaker 1: to get some rest in for their starters, they're gonna
- 2:26Speaker 1: turn the AJ to take the keys over, while you

- 2:37Speaker 1: fantasy game fantasy points a game, averaging thirteen six and
- 2:41Speaker 1: a half boards, almost two assists. He even had a
- 2:44Speaker 1: forty four point fantasy night the other night a couple
- 2:48Speaker 1: weeks ago. As you know, fantasy ain't just by players.
- 2:51Speaker 1: It's about volume, games, play points earned. Who out there
- 2:54Speaker 1: trying to get it and who out there getting after
- 2:56Speaker 1: You already know he goes some sleep with some under
- 3:00Speaker 1: raidar streamers. They wasn't on you know, they weren't on
- 3:02Speaker 1: everybody radar. But some opportunity to come up because of injuries,
- 3:07Speaker 1: because of you know how the game go uh speaking
- 3:09Speaker 1: up injuries, Franz Wagner just went down for the Magic
- 3:13Speaker 1: Anthony Black, next man up. He was inserted in the
- 3:16Speaker 1: starting lineup last night against the Heat. You know what
- 3:19Speaker 1: I mean. He averaging like fifteen points a game when
- 3:25Speaker 1: he's a starter this season, when you know, when Polo
- 3:27Speaker 1: was out he was doing this thing. Wagner then went down, so,
- 3:30Speaker 1: like I say, major opportunity. He averaged twenty five fantasy
- 3:33Speaker 1: points twenty seven minutes a game this thirteen four and three.
- 3:37Speaker 1: These in season numbers. He also getting to steal a game,
- 3:40Speaker 1: but as a starter, he averaging fifteen three reps, three assists,
- 3:44Speaker 1: one steal, one block, doing everything. Lock in on this guy,
- 3:49Speaker 1: Anthony Black, remember the night, Ryannimhard. I ain't gonna lie.
- 3:52Speaker 1: I like this one. You know he played for the
- 3:55Speaker 1: for my maths. Excuse me, kid, trust him, you know
- 4:00Speaker 1: what I mean, kid, trust him late game run. You
- 4:03Speaker 1: know you count the stats. You can bank on twenty
- 4:05Speaker 1: one Fantasy over the seas. But he averaged thirty five
- 4:09Speaker 1: Fantasy points in week seven. He getting major, major burn,
- 4:13Speaker 1: and he looked like he a true point guard. You
- 4:15Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. That's kind of hard to this
- 4:17Speaker 1: day and age is here where everybody scored the ball.
- 4:20Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. He averaging five assists and
- 4:22Speaker 1: only nineteen minutes. So for him, opportunity is in one
- 4:27Speaker 1: Fantasy cheat code. So yeah, Ryan nim hahd. My guy,
- 4:30Speaker 1: check on him, Anthony Black, Ryan nim Hard, check them first.
- 4:34Speaker 1: He got some streamers. You know what I'm saying that
- 4:37Speaker 1: if you in a if you in a category league,
- 4:39Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, threes. If you need threes,
- 4:41Speaker 1: you need a lot of threes in a week. Sam Merrow.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Now he's also injured. Everybody projected to come back on
- 4:48Speaker 1: the twelfth with sam Merrall averaging almost four three is
- 4:51Speaker 1: a game you could trust that. I ain't gonna lie.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I mentioned him on the episode earlier this h in
- 4:57Speaker 1: the season. Early on the episode, sam Meryll really liked
- 5:01Speaker 1: that he can shoot, he can let it go. Trust that.
- 5:04Speaker 1: You know, if you need threes, if you need stocks,
- 5:06Speaker 1: steals and blocks, you need a specialist. Another guy, Al
- 5:10Speaker 1: Horford o g three percent roster he averaging a block
- 5:16Speaker 1: and a steal on the season. He always done that,
- 5:18Speaker 1: That's always been his game. You could trust that this night,
- 5:21Speaker 1: though I think it's year nineteen, you can trust that
- 5:23Speaker 1: after nineteen years, you know what I mean. So if
- 5:26Speaker 1: you're in the category league, look at Al horfor if
- 5:28Speaker 1: you need assists, you know, six seven assists a night
- 5:31Speaker 1: without a lot of turnos. Then is Shrewder He averages
- 5:35Speaker 1: six assists on the season. Shannon Rock, I know Sacramento
- 5:39Speaker 1: record might not be that good, but they got a
- 5:41Speaker 1: lot of scores. He also projected to come back this
- 5:43Speaker 1: week on the twelfth. You know what I mean. But Shrewder,
- 5:46Speaker 1: he been solid his whole career. You know, we know
- 5:48Speaker 1: that you know we got enough evidence to trust that.
- 5:52Speaker 1: If you need rebounds, crashing the glass, getting them garbage points,
- 5:56Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Steven Adams all reliable, nine
- 5:59Speaker 1: ReBs a game, playing twenty two minutes a game. You
- 6:02Speaker 1: already know he didn't force your need. Memphis miss him
- 6:05Speaker 1: right now, Houston balling with him right now, So you
- 6:08Speaker 1: already know. You know Steven Adams, you could trust that.
- 6:10Speaker 1: And sometimes a category swing is the difference between playoffs
- 6:14Speaker 1: and packing it on the end come April. You know
- 6:18Speaker 1: what I mean. So yeah, these the stream the state candidates.
- 6:21Speaker 1: These are audition pickups. If they hit, they're not leaving
- 6:24Speaker 1: your roster. If they don't hit, find somebody else. You
- 6:28Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. You looking for clarity, coach, trust
- 6:31Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Efficiency, Hey, if he hit
- 6:34Speaker 1: twenty eight to thirty two minutes, he might not be
- 6:36Speaker 1: a streamer no more. He might be a win streak
- 6:39Speaker 1: first guy, I'm excited about. He just came back the
- 6:41Speaker 1: Anthony Melton two percent roster the ESPN Fantasy Leagues, twenty
- 6:45Speaker 1: four fantasy points. He only played two games, but he
- 6:48Speaker 1: got fourteen points, two assists a game, two steals go
- 6:53Speaker 1: to state need that, especially with STEPI right now, Draymond
- 6:56Speaker 1: I right now too. So yeah, the Anthony Melton I
- 7:00Speaker 1: like that. I'm excited about that. And as you know,
- 7:03Speaker 1: your streamer god audition guy can become a permanent play
- 7:06Speaker 1: for you. So you already know the people who plan
