- 1:50Speaker 1: been mentioning every week on here. Fifty nine point three
- 1:54Speaker 1: fantasy points in week nine. Even had an eighty one
- 1:57Speaker 1: point game against Charlotte. And that's eight and one point.
- 2:00Speaker 1: That's eighty one fantasy points, not scoring point. He ain't
- 2:04Speaker 1: tie Cole, you know what I'm saying, But that was
- 2:06Speaker 1: fantasy points in the points league, going crazy. Next up center,
- 2:10Speaker 1: new guy, new face on the top performance list. Jaron
- 2:14Speaker 1: Jackson Jaron Jackson Junior Triple J from the Memphis Grizzes.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Fifty seven fantasy points a week nine. He even had
- 2:21Speaker 1: a seventy eight point fantasy game against the Clippers, dominated them,
- 2:25Speaker 1: had twenty seven eight to three defensive stats of stack.
- 2:28Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. These are the staples. If
- 2:30Speaker 2: you got them, keep them.
- 2:32Speaker 1: If you don't build around similar roles, just keep it
- 2:35Speaker 1: pushing to our hustle's pickup waiver wide scoops. This what
- 2:39Speaker 1: opportunity beast reputation. First up, I got Cam Spencer from
- 2:42Speaker 1: the Memphis Grizzes. Twenty six fantasy point average for the season,
- 2:46Speaker 1: So he really.
- 2:47Speaker 2: Been doing this thing all you only twenty two minutes
- 2:51Speaker 2: a game for the season.
- 2:52Speaker 1: He getting twelve points a game, two rees, four assists.
- 2:57Speaker 1: One Still, he got four games scheduled this week and
- 2:59Speaker 1: he's he's still seventy percent available in ESPN leagues. I
- 3:03Speaker 1: think this guy here to stay. I believe this guy
- 3:05Speaker 1: he is here to State. Go on a hand and
- 3:07Speaker 1: grab him. Now keep him on your roster. Excuse me.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Next up, we got Trey Jones, you know what I'm
- 3:13Speaker 1: saying from the Chicago Bulls. Thirty one point fantasy average.
- 3:17Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. For the season, he averaging
- 3:20Speaker 1: twenty eight minutes a game on a year. As you know,
- 3:23Speaker 1: injury chaos equals more minutes. His fort to six point
- 3:26Speaker 1: game against Cleveland has proves it.
- 3:28Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 3:28Speaker 1: For the season, he gets thirteen points a game, three reps,
- 3:32Speaker 1: five assists, one point six steals. He only got three
- 3:35Speaker 1: games of Week ten, though, but I still believe he
- 3:38Speaker 1: a valuable add and he might be a stream to
- 3:40Speaker 1: state candidate, So make sure y'all check on Chae Jones
- 3:43Speaker 1: in your leagues if he available. Next up, Jalen Tyson
- 3:48Speaker 1: from the Cleveland Cavaliers. You know, twenty nine fantasy point average.
- 3:53Speaker 1: He averages twenty eight minutes a game, So this guy
- 3:55Speaker 1: getting major burn, major burn. He'll stream the state candidate
- 3:59Speaker 1: in my opinion as well. Thirteen points a game, five
- 4:03Speaker 1: and a half reps to assist, one steal a game,
- 4:07Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And he was in the
- 4:09Speaker 1: starting lineup against Chicago. He replaced DeAndre Hunter and he
- 4:13Speaker 1: scored thirty eight fantasy points in that game, had a
- 4:15Speaker 1: great day. He also he got four games in week ten,
- 4:18Speaker 1: so a lot of opportunity and he just ended the
- 4:21Speaker 1: starting lineup. So gone, double check, double tap on Jalen Tyson.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Get him in your lineups. You know he'll stream the
- 4:29Speaker 1: state guy. Next up, Duncan Robinson. Detroit basketball is back, Yes,
- 4:38Speaker 1: it is back. He's one of the guys that's helping
- 4:41Speaker 1: it be back. Twenty three and a half fantasy point
- 4:43Speaker 1: average on the year. We already know he got a flamethrower,
- 4:47Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. He making almost three threes
- 4:49Speaker 1: a game. He been shooting the pill season averages twelve
- 4:52Speaker 1: points a game. He got three, he getting three reps,
- 4:55Speaker 1: two assists, are still thirty minutes a game. He also
- 4:59Speaker 1: has four games scheduled in week ten. I ain't gonna lie.
- 5:02Speaker 1: I streamed him in week nine. He helped me get
- 5:04Speaker 1: a dug. He got a lower floor, you know what
- 5:07Speaker 1: I'm saying, But he got some high upside.
- 5:08Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
- 5:09Speaker 1: That twenty three pretty solid on Drankan Robinson, So yeah,
- 5:12Speaker 1: y'all gonna tap in on him. Next up, the big
- 5:19Speaker 1: from San Antonio, Luke Cordnett. You know what I'm saying.
- 5:23Speaker 1: He the center for the Spurs, backup center. Twenty five
- 5:26Speaker 1: and a half Fantasy points over the season.
- 5:28Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 5:29Speaker 1: He averaged eight points, six point seven reps to assist,
- 5:34Speaker 1: point four steals. That ain't really that good, but they
- 5:36Speaker 1: have one point four blocks on the season.
- 5:38Speaker 2: He stuffing the sheet, He doing his thing. And then
- 5:41Speaker 2: speaking of one.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Point four blocks, he had a game saving block against
- 5:45Speaker 1: Orlando just a couple of weeks ago.
- 5:47Speaker 2: You know what I mean. Cordnet been a staple.
- 5:49Speaker 1: He averaged in twenty five minutes, but he still has
- 5:52Speaker 1: great streamer value. He still got good upside. I like Cornet.
- 5:56Speaker 1: I think he been a solid player his entire time
- 5:58Speaker 1: in the league. Got three games scheduled in Week ten,
- 6:01Speaker 1: so make sure y'all playing accordingly. But he also had
- 6:04Speaker 1: four to one points in a four to one point

- 6:56Speaker 1: points on the season, he averaging eight point six one
- 7:00Speaker 1: point two assists. You know you ain't looking for him
- 7:03Speaker 1: to be a playmaker though, so that's the thing. Point
- 7:05Speaker 1: eight still, so you'll almost getting you a stier every night,
- 7:08Speaker 1: and then he getting one point six blocks for the season.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, like like you know, Gaffer
- 7:13Speaker 1: was a staple in Washington, he was silent in Chicago.
- 7:17Speaker 1: He's another guy that's been a solid player of his
- 7:20Speaker 1: entire career. Dallas also has four game scheduled in week ten,
- 7:23Speaker 1: including a Christmas Day game against the Royals. So make
- 7:27Speaker 1: sure y'all double check. You know, look, if you need
- 7:29Speaker 1: big help, you need rebounds, you know, block shots that
- 7:32Speaker 1: can help you get some big, big fantasy point games
- 7:36Speaker 1: with limited minutes. Look at Danil Gaffer also too. His
- 7:41Speaker 1: roster percentage is trending up with some streaming while he's
- 7:43Speaker 1: still available because it's looking like he ain't gonna be
- 7:46Speaker 1: available too much longer. So definitely check on Gaffer next up.
- 7:51Speaker 1: I ain't gonna this. This is really my favorite guy
- 7:53Speaker 1: on this list out of all. I like Angle, I
- 7:55Speaker 1: like watching Cam Spencer game. I like the noise he talking.
- 8:00Speaker 1: He was talking crazy to the Clippers when he was
- 8:02Speaker 1: going off. But anyway, neither here nor there, no clowning.
- 8:07Speaker 1: This is my favorite guy on this list. He from
- 8:09Speaker 1: the briok You know. He played for the Brooklyn Nets
- 8:12Speaker 1: eleven point nine percent roster. He called it as a
- 8:14Speaker 1: power forward twenty three fantasy point average on the season,
- 8:18Speaker 1: but he averaged thirteen points a game, four ReBs, one
- 8:22Speaker 1: point nine assists, so almost two assists. And again you
- 8:25Speaker 1: ain't looking for him to be a playmaker getting point
- 8:27Speaker 1: six steals, so he'll get.
- 8:29Speaker 2: You one air or not every now and then.
- 8:31Speaker 1: And in point nine blocks he closer to getting you
- 8:34Speaker 1: a block every night. I saw and last week coming
- 8:37Speaker 1: into week nine, three out of it. Out of his
- 8:40Speaker 1: last four games going to that week, he had a
- 8:42Speaker 1: steal ad a block in them games. So it looked
- 8:44Speaker 1: like he trending up with for sure. He averaged twenty
- 8:47Speaker 1: eight minutes a game. He and Hooper had thirty seven
- 8:50Speaker 1: fantasy points against Toronto last night and in that game
- 8:53Speaker 1: he had nineteen points, nine ReBs, two assists and two
- 8:57Speaker 1: blocks in that game. Now the thing is with him.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Brooklyn only have two game scheduled in week ten, but
- 9:06Speaker 1: he about to be on my roster. He'll stream the
- 9:08Speaker 1: State guy steam stream the state candidate. Uh, for me,
- 9:12Speaker 1: he's a stream the state guy. But for you, he
- 9:14Speaker 1: may be a candidate. You might, you might ain't ready
- 9:16Speaker 1: to pull that trigger yet. This guy, Hey, my favorite

- 9:26Speaker 1: really liked that. Had a big game last night against Toronto.
- 9:31Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely definitely tap in on him. So, uh,
- 9:38Speaker 1: you know that's gonna be a rap on the Hustle's pickups.
- 9:40Speaker 1: I gave y'all a few names, you know what I'm saying,
- 9:42Speaker 1: Seven names that you could check out, that you could,
- 9:45Speaker 1: you know, help you get a doug. We're trying to
- 9:46Speaker 1: get wins. We're trying to make it to that playoffs.

- 10:22Speaker 1: one block versus Minnesota last night.
- 10:25Speaker 2: Like he really he really, he really good. And I
- 10:29Speaker 2: know everybody knew.
- 10:30Speaker 1: This from when he was in Cleveland when he you know,
- 10:33Speaker 1: got a second chance in Houston.
- 10:35Speaker 2: I believe you.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Know that he really can hoop. He really good, you
- 10:40Speaker 1: know what I mean. It was really about the off
- 10:41Speaker 1: the court stuff. Seemed like he got that ironed out.
- 10:44Speaker 1: So that's good to see, love to see that, you
- 10:46Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. He had a crazy day against
- 10:48Speaker 1: Minnesota last night. But and with that said, like like
- 10:52Speaker 1: I mentioned last week, Johanna's been having some trade rooms
- 10:55Speaker 1: swirling his name. You know that by low window probably
- 10:59Speaker 1: closing on KP. So if you want to get them,
- 11:02Speaker 1: you like him, you've been on them. You know, the
- 11:04Speaker 1: time is not a gonna strike, you know what I mean.
- 11:07Speaker 1: He balling. People gonna take notice and it might be
- 11:10Speaker 1: hard to get him, or you might have to give
- 11:12Speaker 1: up more than you would have had a game give up
- 11:14Speaker 1: if you would have pulled it, you know, pulled the trigger,
- 11:16Speaker 1: made the move a few weeks ago. You know what
- 11:20Speaker 1: I'm saying, but I still think there's a little time.
- 11:22Speaker 1: But I think that window about the close is the
- 11:25Speaker 1: rumors getting a little too.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Loud with Joannis.
- 11:28Speaker 1: I hate to hear it, but if that's what he
- 11:30Speaker 1: wants for his career, good luck to him.
- 11:32Speaker 2: But with that being said, KPJ.
- 11:34Speaker 1: Gonna definitely be an immediate beneficiary if they move on
- 11:38Speaker 1: from you.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Honest.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Uh so, Yeah, he'll bilo candidate tap in with him
- 11:43Speaker 1: for sure. Next up, my hustler's energy pick lock this
- 11:49Speaker 1: who I'm locking on. This is who I'm throwing away
- 11:51Speaker 1: to keep with. You know what I mean? This who
- 11:53Speaker 1: I'm you know, I know that's gonna do their thing.
- 11:55Speaker 1: And I like this guy, young bull, you know what
- 11:58Speaker 1: I'm saying, old school mentality. K Cunningham Detroit basketball. He
- 12:03Speaker 1: fourth ranked at his position twenty seven, six point four
- 12:07Speaker 1: nine point two on the season. That's six point four revs,
- 12:10Speaker 1: nine point two assists. So he do everything from the
- 12:12Speaker 1: guard spot. He the heart of this Pistons team. Gonna
- 12:15Speaker 1: lock it in. I'm locking it in.
- 12:17Speaker 2: Hey.
- 12:18Speaker 1: He brought Detroit basketball back single handedly just with the mindset.
- 12:22Speaker 1: He matched the city what they was on and that's
- 12:24Speaker 1: what he did you know what I mean. He came in,
- 12:26Speaker 1: Like I said, Duncan Robinson one of those ones that's helping.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Don't forget Jalen Durant too, a killer, Isaiah Steward or enforcerr.
- 12:35Speaker 2: You know, they got a lot of things.
- 12:37Speaker 1: They remind me of an old school basketball team and
- 12:39Speaker 1: K Cunningham a big reason of why they having success
- 12:42Speaker 1: this year. So yeah, that's who I'm locking it in with.
- 12:45Speaker 1: That's who I'm throwing away to key with. K Cunningham,
- 12:48Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons guard. All right, Next up is our league.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Shot out my Hustle Sports fantasy basketball league.
- 12:57Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
- 12:57Speaker 1: I always shot out a manager every week, whether they
- 13:00Speaker 1: made a great move, they was high scored, they had
- 13:02Speaker 1: somebody who was high scored.
- 13:04Speaker 2: You know, I try to, you know, show love. You
- 13:06Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.
- 13:07Speaker 1: People doing work out here in these fantasy league so
- 13:10Speaker 1: you know, it's always cool to recognize them. I got
- 13:12Speaker 1: a shout out of my dog, the manager of Supreme Team.
- 13:16Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. In US a sports league,
- 13:18Speaker 1: like I say, he drafted KD. KD carried the low
- 13:22Speaker 1: keeping him in second place in the East Division. You
- 13:25Speaker 1: know what I mean KD had two nineteen, you know
- 13:27Speaker 1: for the week week nine, as you can see right here.
- 13:30Speaker 2: You know, I ain't gonna lie.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I I would have I skipped.
- 13:36Speaker 2: On KD this year. You know what I'm saying. And
- 13:40Speaker 2: that's hurt me. You know, I need dubs. I'm in
- 13:43Speaker 2: third in.
- 13:44Speaker 1: That division, and if I had a KD, maybe I
- 13:49Speaker 1: get some more dubs.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Who knows. So, you know, shout out to the manager
- 13:54Speaker 2: of Supreme Team. Good manage me. Work on your part,
- 13:56Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
- 13:57Speaker 1: You holding it down, keeping it steady, you know, making
- 14:00Speaker 1: sure you out here to get does putting that work
- 14:02Speaker 1: in putting that grind here. So, like I said, shout
- 14:04Speaker 1: out to the manager of the Supreme Team, all right,
- 14:08Speaker 1: we're gonna close the show here. We at the end
- 14:10Speaker 1: right here. We got it kind of quick. But fantasy
- 14:13Speaker 1: and community debate something I've been seeing online, you know,
- 14:16Speaker 1: or people talking about it or wherever I find it.
- 14:19Speaker 1: I always kind of try to bring a question back.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Question is do you prioritize upside or consistency in your
- 14:27Speaker 1: bench spots? I ain't gonna lie. I do want to
- 14:31Speaker 1: hear from y'all. I want to hear from y'all. But
- 14:33Speaker 1: I'm all here, I'm gonna jump in. Uh, that's just
- 14:37Speaker 1: not enough bench spots to worry about upside on the
- 14:41Speaker 1: fantasy basketball front. I mean, you only got three spots
- 14:44Speaker 1: in an hour spot if you're lucky, and depending on
- 14:47Speaker 1: what type of league you're playing in, you know, you
- 14:51Speaker 1: can't waste them spots, you know what I mean, unless
- 14:53Speaker 1: you got somebody that can just go. That's just really
- 14:57Speaker 1: just like that, it's hard to try to give them
- 14:59Speaker 1: spots act. So I think you gotta go consistency. I
- 15:03Speaker 1: think you gotta be you gotta have people on that
- 15:05Speaker 1: bench that you can trust, you know what I'm saying, Like,
- 15:08Speaker 1: you throw them in the lineup. Can they get you
- 15:11Speaker 1: a twenty five point game? Can they get you a thirty?
- 15:14Speaker 1: And if it's a really good night, can they sneak
- 15:16Speaker 1: and get a forwarded forty five point game?
- 15:18Speaker 2: Fifty?
- 15:19Speaker 1: Even depending on who you are, how you play the
- 15:22Speaker 1: opportunities that's out there. So I just think it's not
- 15:28Speaker 1: enough wigger room to try to, you know, look for upside,
- 15:33Speaker 1: especially early. Nah, I think by the middle of the
- 15:35Speaker 1: year injuries start happening, you know, you start trying to
- 15:39Speaker 1: look for opportunities. People who getting opportunities who probably wouldn't
- 15:42Speaker 1: got win.
- 15:43Speaker 2: So maybe then you probably try to be early on
- 15:47Speaker 2: some of that.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Maybe later in the year you might manage it a
- 15:50Speaker 1: little differently. But I think at this point in week ten,
- 15:53Speaker 1: we're still in the middle of the season, we're just
- 15:55Speaker 1: now getting the Christmas. Still a lot of ball left,
- 15:59Speaker 1: still a lot of ball all left, and in some leagues.
- 16:03Speaker 2: You're probably taken some ugly losses. I know I've taken some.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Ugly losses this season, you know, just just crazy stuff
- 16:11Speaker 1: like I'm the second highest point scored, but I played
- 16:14Speaker 1: the first guy who scored the most points. And I
- 16:17Speaker 1: think sometimes they just go against you in fantasy. So
- 16:20Speaker 1: with with situations like that, I think you gotta go
- 16:24Speaker 1: a consistency. That what that would be my emo.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Go consistency by this point week ten. Go consistency. Now
- 16:31Speaker 2: later in the year you might.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Can make it work for you trades, injuries, it might
- 16:37Speaker 1: be some potential there for the upside. So yeah, that's
- 16:40Speaker 1: my point. That's my that's my you know, opinion on it.
- 16:43Speaker 1: I want to hear from y'all. Make sure y'all tap
