2:54
I see you right there first Common, Happy birthday to you man,
2:58
looking to keep that rolling for you. Hebrew in the czeck, Oh,
3:00
collect Jake Swales, Nate d what's going on everybody, Let's kick off of
3:05
this first game here Handwich. We've got Memphis and we got Brooklyn. Pretty
3:08
interesting game overall. We could do have some injury news a two pH six
3:13
total in this one ten point spread here. In terms of the injury news,
3:16
we've got Ben Simmons is out, Cam Thomas is out, Brandon Clark
3:20
is out on the Memphis size, Jaron Jackson Junior's doubtful. Memphis Derrick Ross
3:24
is also out, and Zayier Williams is out for Memphis. Basically Memphis whole
3:29
team is out, so you're left with the Skelton squad, the squad of
3:34
Vince William Junior, Jordan Goodwin, Canard, Gregory Jackson, Aldama, I
3:38
mean, Lamar Stevens. You got Contra in there. On the Brooklyn side,
3:43
you got Cam Johnson right now, seems to be in a pretty good
3:46
spot here, seems to be getting a decent amount of ownership on the slate,
3:50
coming off of back to back two good games. Now it's just five
3:53
eight here in this matchup. Talk to me, first game to kick it
3:55
off here, six point thirty Central time, seven thirty Eastern. Yeah,
4:00
it's an interesting game. It's a gross game. Obviously, Memphis is playing
4:03
their G League team. No one's playing and then I'm I'm the never Brooklyn
4:09
guy. I just can't seem to get those guys right. I don't know
4:11
when the last time anyone on Brooklyn has been in the winner. But I
4:15
actually kind of like Memphis a little bit. Two pieces specifically that I want
4:18
to touch on I think are really good plays. The first one, Gg
4:23
Jackson coming in at the power forward position nets Brooklyn one of the worst teams
4:28
against forwards in the NBA bottom third Anyway, he's only fifty one hundred,
4:31
should see an uptick in minutes to night. Jaron Jackson Junior is listed as
4:36
doubtful. You just mentioned all the other folks that wouldn't be playing, so
4:40
Gg Jackson a ton of interest in him. And then my favorite Grizzly is
4:45
going to be Vince Williams junior, shooting guard and small forward eligible. We've
4:48
seen him all year long, just be one of their better players, I
4:51
guess if you can say they've had a good player. But over the last
4:55
two three weeks he's going to get thirty five plus minutes. There's no Zaier
4:59
Williams. There's no no Jaron Jackson Junior, no Desmond Bay, no job
5:02
I mean no Marcus. Smart list goes on and on, and he's been
5:05
the one constant all year long. And I just alluded to, you know,
5:11
Brooklyn struggling against Fords. He's at combo you know, combo guard slash
5:14
forward. So give me Gig at fifty one hundred. Really like that play,
5:17
Really like Vince Williams Junior at sixty eight hundred. Then on the other
5:21
side, the one net that I see him to constantly play when I do
5:26
play him Dennis Shrewder. I was a great matchup at fifty nine hundred,
5:30
depending on the minutes he's gonna get. Then Nick Claxton really like him to
5:32
take advantage of Santi al Tama. You know, no Jared Jackson Jr.
5:38
No big man so to speak. So gimme Shrewder Claxton if I was going
5:41
to play one of them that really like Gigi and Vince on the other side,
5:46
Yeah, no, excellent breakdown here. I'm with you. I do
5:47
like I think Cam Thomas is a pretty solid play here. He's got a
5:51
pretty solid matchup in this spot here, obviously going against this G League squad
5:56
here, played thirty to thirty minutes back to back games. He is only
5:59
powerful, But the price checks out for me at fifty eight hundred. Two
6:02
good games in a row right, shooting ten to fifteen, six to twelve,
6:05
Finally found those those that shot a little bit there, picking up some
6:10
rebounds there. He's taking some three point attempts right eleven and seven in both
6:14
of his last two games, so I think he's a fine option on the
6:15
Brooklyn side. But overall, to kick us off, I mean, I
6:18
don't love this game A ton lows total on the slate ten points spread here.
6:23
Brooklyn massive favorites obviously at home, So I do think Cam Johnson is
6:26
fine. On the other side, I'm with you, it's another power forward
6:29
an interest for me. Gregory Jackson here at five to one. Just from
6:31
a usage standpoint, he's going to get a ton of usage here. Santy
6:34
Aldams also going to get a ton of usage. Adama doesn't have the best
6:39
matchup at all by any means, going up against Claxton, right, but
6:42
I do think the usage is going to be there overall. I mean,
6:46
Jordan Goodwin, Vince Williams, I think he could go to. Just from
6:47
a ball handling perspective, they're going to be the main ball handlers here,
6:50
but pretty much not a ton of interest for me outside of a camera Johnson
6:55
play I think is a fine option. But outside of that, even with
6:59
all the show handed this, I just don't really love the spot for Memphis
7:02
for sure. They've been their worst offensive rated team here in the league since
7:06
all these injuries, I believe as well. And you want points, you
7:11
want teams that are gonna get up and down the court score a lot of
7:14
points. Obviously, that leads to more fantasy points. I just don't think
7:15
Memphis fits that build right now. And on the other side, Brooklyn just
7:20
a piece or two. Just seems like they spread it out around quite a
7:24
bit. But the price on Cam Johnson is pretty fair, so I do
7:28
have some interest in him, and then maybe maybe a flyer value on a
7:31
guy like Dorian Finney Smith at four to four I don't think would be the
7:34
craziest play here. He should get his upper twenties, low thirties minutes at
7:39
four to four in this matchup, I think he's a solid option as well.
7:43
Jump into the next game here. Portland and Minnesota two to nine and
7:47
a half total, so another very very small total here. Obviously Portland one
7:53
of the worst teams in the league here going up against one of the best
7:56
teams in the league here in Minnesota. Fourteen point spread. In terms of
8:01
injuries, Kyle Anderson's questionable, mclaughlan's questionable, DeAndre Ayton is questionable, Kamara's
8:07
also questionable. Fible is questionable. In terms of injuries, guys that are
8:11
out, Malcolm Broggin's out and Scoot Henderson is out. Jeremy Grant is doubtful,
8:16
so there is some injury news here, mainly on the Portland side.
8:20
Obviously it's a very tough matchup here, but talk to me in this one
8:22
because obviously some of these Portland pieces could get a little better, especially if
8:28
DeAndre Aiten does miss this game. Yeah, this game is gonna get ugly,
8:33
and it's gonna get ugly quick for the Portland Trailblazers playing one of the
8:35
better teams in the NBA. Uh, they've had their they beat up on
8:39
the Grizzlies back to back games, but now they head into the Twin Cities
8:43
to take on this Grizzly teams, one of the best, if not the
8:46
best defensive team in the NBA. And you alluded to it. DeAndre Ayton,
8:50
who's been He's missed a lot of games, still questionable. Uh,
8:56
Fible is questionable as well. You're missing Malcolm Brogen, You're missing Good Henderson.
9:01
Jeremy Grant is questionable as well. Minnesota, in my opinion, will
9:05
easily cover this fourteen point spread. No interest in any of these Trailblazers.
9:09
I think they get run out of the gym. And then my favorite,
9:11
my favorite Timberwolf. It's gonna be rudy Gobert at center the Trailblazers, absolute
9:16
struggle against big men. Give me some Rudy Gobert, don't mind that price
9:20
at seventy five hundred, any of the any of those big guns for the
9:24
t Wolves were fine. If you want to go ant, that's fine.
9:26
Cat's probably good. Naz Reid at five seven is a good play. And
9:30
then the other one I want to talk about is gonna be Jada McDaniels thirty
9:33
three forty five, thirty four minutes his last three. This guy's gonna play
9:37
thirty plus minutes, gonna get up, you know, around ten shots and
9:41
have some of the peripherals. At that price tag, I think it's I
9:43
think he can get the thirty points easily. Talking about DK points, I
9:48
think he can pay off that tag. It'd be Rudy Gobert for me,
9:50
Jada McDaniels for me as well. And then I'm gonna bet on the t
9:54
Wolves tonight to cover that fourteen point spread. I think this one gets out
9:56
of hand early needs. Yeah, I agree, don't have a ton of
10:01
interest. I guess if you want to low own Anthony Edwards right new Dad
10:03
narrative there at eighty eight hundred last time he played these guys that believe you
10:07
smashed the matchup here. But again it's a massive spread, low total here,
10:11
and both these games aren't the greatest to kick us off. This next
10:15
one is a decent game, I guess in my opinion, but pretty much
10:18
the slate revolves around obviously that that game locking at nine pm Eastern time eight
10:24
pm Central time, the Washington Utah game, which obviously there's a lot to
10:28
talk about in that game, so that's kind of the pivotal game, and
10:31
we're gonna want as much news as possible. So these first two games a
10:35
little bit under. On these two. You could grab some of these Portland
10:39
guys, but it's just a terrible matchup here going to into Minnesota, so
10:43
not trying to sign up for them. And then just on the Minnesota side,
10:46
a contrarian spend up in and Edwards I think is a solid option at
10:50
eighty eight hundred, But overall, not a ton of interest for me in
10:54
these first two. Talk about this next one. Here we have the Clippers
10:58
heading into Milwaukee, who think the Bucks have won what five straight now getting
11:03
getting it right here, Everyone talked about the Bucks basically being it sounded like
11:07
the local news for sure here in Wisconsin. Seemed like the Bucks were the
11:11
worst team in the East and they're sitting top three. Everyone slanttering them right,
11:15
and I said, just take a break, take a deep breath.
11:16
Right, They're gonna be fine. All they need to do is make the
11:20
playoffs. I think they're a better playoff team now with the addition of Dame
11:22
being will spread the court and stuff. But let's talk about it here in
11:24
this matchup to twenty five total, four and a half point spread. In
11:28
terms of injury news, got Giannis is questionable, bow Champ is out,
11:33
obviously, Livingston is out, and then Middleton is out as well. Talk
11:37
about this game in terms of that. Obviously on the Clipper side, basically
11:41
fully healthy. Right, Harden's there, Kawhi's there, Paul George is there,
11:45
Zubox in there, Powell, Terrence Man, they got their full squad.
11:48
Talk about this game, Milwaukee Clippers. Yeah, we haven't gone to
11:52
the playoffs yet, night, and we know Doc Rivers once he gets in
11:54
the playoffs, he loves choking. So once they get to the playoffs,
11:58
now good first second round exit, can play the Heat lose a one to
12:01
eight again, Hey, Milwaukee Bucks, a have an early summer joining in
12:05
Cabo me you can go join him in Cabo and then and then Russ.
12:07
We got Russ broke his hand in the night, missing for the Clippers,
12:11
so certainly his fourteen minutes a night will be missed by those Clippers. Get
12:13
well soon, Russ. You know we love you over here at ship at
12:16
nation dot com. But yeah, I mean Jiannis is uh having a Q
12:20
tag right eleven five. I mean that's gonna be an important piece. More
12:22
than likely we'll play. You know, he's often questionable, but uh,
12:26
Yannis plays. I think he's squarely in play against his team. The Clippers
12:31
do have a good, uh you know, good defensively, but Giannice is
12:33
almost matchup proof, So I don't mind Jannis. I think eight seven for
12:37
Dames a little high. I want to get my point guard exposure elsewhere.
12:41
But I can certainly understand if you wanted to play him, But it would
12:43
be Yannis in this game for me, and then I'm out on all these
12:46
Clippers. It's just tough for me to pick those big three. Similar I
12:50
mean they're better than the Nets, but similar in the sense that they have
12:52
so many pieces that do so many things. So this one's Yiannis. If
12:56
I get there at eleven to five or bus for me. Yeah. No,
13:01
First of all, hopefully you'll find a significant other out there that loves
13:05
you about a million times more than uh than Hamwich hates the Bucks. I'll
13:09
tell you that, right. I don't think there's another team out there in
13:13
the entire world that that he hates more than Milwaukee. Here, keep the
13:16
slander rolling, We'll keep it up. I mean, at the end of
13:18
the day, you still got Dame, still got Middleton, you still got
13:22
Janis coming into the playoffs. There, you got some bro low down low.
13:26
We'll we'll see what happens there, like to see what your hometown team
13:30
is. Like, I guy news in the chat. But it's good little
13:31
friendly banter here on the show. I'm from Denver, baby, I'm a
13:35
Nuggets fan. One of those one of those closet Nuggets fans, right,
13:39
one of those closet Nuggets fans. They come come out of the uh come
13:41
out of the league out of nowhere the last couple of years. And right
13:45
away Hamdwich right wants to get on here and talk about these Nuggets. But
13:48
in terms of this game. I think Giannis is fine. Obviously, if
13:52
Fiannis misses right, Bobby Ports becomes in an amazing option here. But overall,
13:56
I mean, if Giannis plays, I think he's can find find spend
14:00
up, just like he is any night. But again, really not too
14:03
much interest in this one here. So this slate is pretty much the last
14:07
three games are going to dictate me on this slate for the most part.
14:11
Obviously, everyone's gonna kind of dictate the rosters. Run that Utah Washington game,
14:15
and then I'm gonna fill in with some of those pieces from that Okay,
14:18
see Lakers game. Maybe grab a piece or two from that Chicago Sacramento
14:22
game. Sure you can grab like a Cam Johnson right or one of these
14:24
value guys that we talked about early. But outside of that, I really
14:28
don't have a ton of interest here. I think Dame is a fine option
14:31
at eighty seven hundred. He's got a solid projection, but just hard for
14:35
me to get excited it's Bobby portis or myth Bobby portis a ton of interests.
14:39
Obviously, if Janna smisses, Dame becomes a great play if Janna smisses,
14:43
But I expect Giannis to play. I think he's fine option. But
14:46
outside of that, don't really want to get to any of these clippers.
14:50
And I just think Milwaukee just keeps a rolling here. I think this game
14:52
plays a little bit slower, kind of goes under the total here. So
14:56
from a DFS perspective, which obviously matters what we care about, I don't
15:01
have a ton of interest personally in this one either. Now we talk about
15:05
the game of the slate here, and I've seen obviously it's been the talk
15:09
in our discard. I got Hebrew, Rio's been in the chat building the
15:13
slate plan out talking about this, talking about rules right in this game,
15:16
because if you run any optimizer right now across the industry, obviously we partner
15:20
with the solver over here, which I believe is the best one. Not
15:24
being biased, it's just it's very easy to use. All of our projections
15:28
are updated automatically into there for you as well if you use our package that
15:33
we have there. But any optimizer, four or five of these Utah guys
15:37
are getting slammed into place. Obviously, they're pretty shorthanded. Right when you
15:41
lose two guys in your starting lineup. Walker Kessler Lori Marketing, and then
15:46
you got also guys Keyante George right midday down grade I believe as well.
15:50
Jordan Clarkson is back, which does help. But outside of that, I
15:54
mean, you get the matchup against Washington, which is obviously not matchup.
15:56
They don't play any defense. You have a shorthanded team, take two ustage
16:00
monsters off there, and you throw a guy in like like Bryce Sensible here
16:03
at three point two k who's basically stone minimum price, gonna play all the
16:08
minutes he can handle. So definitely talk on this one. It's a very
16:11
interesting game here from a DFS perspective. Total and that doesn't really matter.
16:15
It is a two forty one total as well, right, which is the
16:18
highest total on the slate. But it's more shorthanded Utah team against one of
16:22
the worst teams kind of behind right right around the Pistons caliber here in Washington.
16:27
So where are you going here? Spend a little time breaking this one
16:30
down. Yeah, No, I think you're right, and this is you
16:33
know, some of those games we talked about was gross, like I had
16:37
a two h six total. We think, you know, we think that
16:38
Minnesota game is going to be a blowout and it's a low total as well,
16:41
So this one obviously is gonna garner a bunch of attention, and rightfully
16:45
so. We have two teams that are, uh, you know, two
16:48
of the worst teams in the NBA Jazz the worst team defending the three point
16:55
line, which is going to play right into the hands of the two guys
16:56
that want to talk about, first being Kyle Kuzma seventy four hundred dollars.
17:00
I think that's a great price for him, power forward and center eligible,
17:06
so I think he's a great piece tonight. He is coming in, you
17:10
know, over thirty percent known, so you have to decide, you know,
17:12
what you're gonna do there. That's no secret there. Then then the
17:15
other one I'm wanna talk about is Jordan Poole, who's kind of bought into
17:18
his role, if you will. I didn't really think he would, but
17:19
he has bought it to his role coming off the bench. He's a three
17:23
point shooter. He's gonna gun him up there for sure. And like I
17:26
said a minute ago, Utah is one of the worst, if not the
17:30
worst, defending the three point line. And Pool's played, you know,
17:33
right around thirty minutes. You know, since he's come off the bench and
17:36
he's shooting it, you know, anywhere from you know, ten to twenty
17:38
five times, you know, in those contests. So I think Pool's a
17:42
great play. He's gonna come in much lower owned than Kyle Kuzma at six
17:47
thousand dollars. Also, like two other players, Marvin Bagley the third sixty
17:52
one hundred dollars center. We know marking In is gonna miss tonight. We
17:56
know Walker Kessler is gonna miss tonight. So you know, both of those
18:00
guys are missing Jazz struggle against Biggs as well. So give me some Marvin
18:03
Bagley. The third and the last piece that I want to mention is going
18:07
to be Tias Jones at the point guard positioned sixty two hundred dollars. I
18:11
really like him tonight. So where a lot of the focus and a lot
18:14
of the attention is coming in on the Utah Jazz, and rightfully so they're
18:18
playing, you know, the worst basketball team in the NBA. I think
18:21
this Washington team is gets a great matchup as well with the key pieces,
18:25
So I'll be interested in those four that I just mentioned for Washington. On
18:30
the other side, I mean, yeah, it's it's John Collins for me,
18:32
sixty five hundred. Once again, he's coming in over thirty percent own,
18:34
almost forty percent owned. I'm going to be out on keyante, George.
18:38
I heard you say midday downgrade for him. That just scares me.
18:42
Anytime I hear the words midday downgrade, that scares me. Certainly a great
18:47
play, you know, the Jazz have given him the you know, the
18:48
keys to that offense, but midday down grade, it's going to scare me
18:52
off. Give me some Collin sext and replace of him. He's six hundred
18:55
dollars more. And then obviously the cheap guys bright cens of ball is going
18:57
to be very popular. Taylor Hendricks should be very popular. But without question,
19:03
uh, you'll have multiple pieces of this game in your lineup tonight.
19:07
I would I would assume it's gonna be high scoring compared to some of the
19:10
other ones. Then I saw a question arner in the chat about who's going
19:14
to be replacing Marketing. I think it was I think it's going to be
19:17
a combination of folks between you know, John Collins, Taylor Hendricks. I
19:22
don't know if they have any other bigs that you know that they would play
19:26
Mago small ball. But if you know Nate, it would be good to
19:27
know. But I think it's gonna be mainly those two guys. Yeah,
19:32
right now, First, I just want to give a give a poor one
19:34
alfber guy Newons and the Chad Newons understands, right, I mean handwich,
19:37
I mean put the drink down, buddy. I understand it's three o'clock,
19:41
four o'clock in the afternoon here for you on a Monday afternoon, might have
19:44
had a tough day at the office, right, a couple of stressful meetings
19:48
out there. You're you're spewing some crazy stuff right now. I'll slanting in
19:51
the bucks that hard and then coming and coming back with a pool party,
19:55
right. I understand the weather's getting warmer across the country here, but I
19:57
don't know if it's it's swim trunk season here. And I don't think I'm
20:00
gonna be jumping in the pool tonight. So I'll leave the pool party to
20:03
you. I do want to talk about this game, obviously off on the
20:07
side here from the Utah Jazz side, in particular lineups, like I said,
20:12
four or five of these jazz are gonna be slammed in every optimizer.
20:15
I think set in a rule to two to three max of these Utah side,
20:18
but also including Washington side, right if this game does play to the
20:22
total or play over the total of two forty one, some of these Utah
20:26
side. I mean the Jazz are bottom five in the league in terms of
20:30
defensive rating as well. It's not just that Washington's terrible defensively, that is
20:34
true, but Utah is also bad defensively. And now you take two guys
20:38
out Mikah Walker Kessler, like Laurie Marknen. Two solid defenders obviously gives a
20:44
big boost to a guy like Marvin Bagley at six to one. Here,
20:45
I'm seeing sub ten percent ownership on Marvin Bagley at six to one. I
20:49
think he's a solid guy. I think he's a great play. I like
20:53
Tyas Jones a lot. You can take your pool party five two hundred dollars
20:56
to go up to Tyas Jones. I think Tyas Jones is better play here.
21:00
Then then Jordan Poole. I think he'll they'll they'll be pretty similar in
21:06
terms of ownership, I think. And then Corey kisper right. I see
21:10
a guy Rio in the chat talking about Corey Kisper. The thing I like
21:12
about him is he's gonna take seven to ten three point attempts here against a
21:15
team that just can't defend the three point line. Overall, this game is
21:19
gonna be a track meet. He's gonna be out there chucking, so I
21:22
do like him. Koli Bally does return back to this lineup, so we'll
21:26
see how much that affects a guy like Kyle Kuzma right who's projected to be
21:30
probably around forty percent on. I think Kuzma is a solid play here at
21:34
seventy four hundred. The minutes are going to be intact, but Kulibally coming
21:37
back might affect him a little bit, might not. I guess we'll we'll
21:41
see. We'll figure out here tonight. John Collins, I think is uh
21:45
In a great play. Doesn't take me to tell you that he's gonna play
21:48
all the minutes he can handle. He's been good. He's six' five,
21:52
the price checks out. I like him a lot, But from a
21:55
starting lineup perspective, it does look right now that obviously Cante George is expected
22:00
to start. I don't think he does midday down grade, so you'll likely
22:03
see Taylor Horton Tucker get a boost in minutes, and then you'll probably see
22:07
a guy like Chris Dunn slide in the starting lineup. At thirty eight hundred,
22:11
he would become obviously one of the highest own plays in the slate.
22:15
It's also gonna boost Taylor Horton Tucker's ownership, who already seems to be a
22:18
very chalky value play. I think he's fine. It's just gonna lead to
22:22
more minutes for him. I think he's a solid option. But again,
22:26
when you're playing this game, especially in tournaments in cash right, it's a
22:29
little different. But in tournaments which we all want to play, you all
22:32
want to get to the top and ship it all, ship all the money.
22:34
I think limited to two or three of these jazz is definitely an interesting
22:38
approach because we really don't know, right what's gonna happen. I mean,
22:41
Taylor Hendrix sense the ball. You got Taylor Horton, Tucker, you got
22:45
your at seven right that can come off the bench. You got Chris Dunn
22:48
who's gonna get in there and get minutes. And you still have Sexton,
22:51
right, you still have Jordan Clarkson, you still have John Collins. So
22:55
I just don't know if you're gonna need four or five of these guys here.
22:59
I get it, it is gonna matchup. I like grabbing probably two
23:02
or three of these Jazz and then one or two, maybe three of these
23:06
these Washington sides and just stack it up because Washington has a good matchup too,
23:08
and a lot of the ownership isn't going outside of Kuzma to this Washington
23:12
side. So definitely very interesting game here on the Washington side. Like I
23:17
said, I like Tys Jones, I like Marvin Bagley, Kuzma's fine,
23:21
and then lower own guy Corey Kispert due a position eligie Bill, he should
23:26
be chucking up three point attempts in a plus matchup here, so I don't
23:29
hate that. But overall, very interesting game. Definitely an important game for
23:33
DFST purposes tonight. Here, let's jump to the next game here, Chicago
23:41
Sacramento. In terms of the total in this one, two twenty eight and
23:44
a half total, Sacramento favored by seven. In terms of injury news,
23:48
Carus is questionable, Darren Fox is questionable, Tory Craig is out for Chicago,
23:52
so obviously Fox News matters here. Carusa News matters a little bit.
23:57
But talk to me in this one. Games starts at nine pm, a
24:00
full hour after that Washington game, and uh, a full two and a
24:03
half hours after the start of the slate. Talk to me Chicago Sacramento.
24:08
Yeah, I mean the big news is obviously we wanna we want to see
24:11
what Fox is doing. I think it was uh, you know, it
24:14
was Friday night when uh, when Rio and I were on and uh the
24:18
no no late swap on dk LO and behold about seven o five, we
24:22
get the news that Fox is out, just send everybody into straight tilt.
24:25
So we want to we want to make sure we uh we get that Fox
24:27
news. But uh, I mean obviously, if he plays, I think
24:30
he could, he should be in your player pool. Uh, don't mind
24:33
that at all. And then then I like a lot of these pieces for
24:37
the uh the Bulls actually, uh, Sacramento not the best defitting the wing,
24:41
uh or for positions. So give me some of these wings, give
24:45
me some of these forwards. Uh, you know for the Chicago Bulls.
24:49
Uh that includes you know, he's a you know, more of a center
24:52
type. But give me some Andre Drummond uh for this Bulls team. Certainly
24:56
don't mind him. And then I don't mind uh Kobe White kind of a
25:00
combo guard, if you will. And then the last one that I want
25:03
to touch on is is Vooch Vukevich. So give me. Those three were
25:07
probably my favorite bulls, and I think you can run it back with mister
25:11
triple double himself. Sabonis. I think he's always in play. I mean
25:15
the thing about him, obviously is his price is up there at ten to
25:18
five, but he's got triple double upside every night. I mean obviously going
25:22
to pay for a couple studs. So for me it would be uh,
25:25
Sabonis ad or Giannis kind of kind of who you're looking at. But certainly
25:29
don't mind him. I haven't built teams yet, so I still got work
25:32
to do on that, but certainly don't mind Sabonus. Certainly don't mind Fox
25:34
if he plays. And then I think we got to talk about my link
25:38
monk. I mean, just what he did the other night I think was
25:41
something like I don't know, thirty you know, DraftKings points in the last
25:45
twelve minutes of the game or something crazy like that. I think he's always
25:48
in play. Certainly, if Daron Fox is out. I think malink Monk
25:51
is squarely in played. Yeah, no excellent breakdown. Imsly can play Sabonas
25:56
here. He can play Sabonas anytime. I do want to hit on one
26:00
point. Andre Drummond, right, we saw some overlap between him and Vusovich
26:04
his minutes last game with Caruso returning. If Caruso misses, I think that
26:10
gives me more interest in a guy like Andre Drummer because we could see more
26:14
double big lineup between Drummon and Vusavic sharing the court together. At five to
26:18
two, I still think he's a solid option. I would like it more
26:22
if Caruso, like I said, were to miss this game. So definitely
26:26
monitor that because that would give me more interesting in a guy like Andre Drummond.
26:29
A F five two, So I don't hate that. Kobe White is
26:33
popping to be pretty chalky here in this slate at seventy three hundred, I
26:38
don't know if I can do it. I think I'm gonna be off with
26:41
Kobe White here. He just hasn't looked right. I mean two fourteen five
26:44
at eighteen six to seventeen five to twenty. Finally, last game, he
26:48
shot seven to fourteen but man, he just hasn't been shooting good. He
26:51
hasn't been getting a ton of periphials, and that is an expensive price point
26:55
to play. You got to put him up against guys like Colin Sexton,
26:57
right, So you're gonna get lower ownership on a guy like Kobe White than
27:02
a Colin Sexton here. But I would much rather just play Colin Sexton because
27:06
both of them are obviously going to be to be owned. You got Cam
27:08
Johnson in that Brooklyn game, some other guys there, So I'm gonna be
27:11
off Kobe White here. I get the reasoning right, He's gonna play all
27:15
the minutes here. I'm just gonna take a wait and see approach on the
27:21
bull side. Io Desumo also projected to be pretty pretty popular here at five
27:25
to seven. He he's gonna play all the minutes, I mean thirty eight
27:29
plus minutes, right, He's been his last five games forty one minutes,
27:32
thirty nine minutes, thirty eight forty eight is likely an overtime game there,
27:36
right against Cleveland, and then thirty eight against Milwaukee. I think he's fine
27:40
at fifty seven hundred. I prefer him over a guy like Kobe White due
27:42
to the salary savings there. But outside of that, I mean maybe grabbing
27:47
a piece or two from this game. Andre Drummond would probably be my favorite
27:51
when you do all things considered right price the matchup. Still, it was
27:56
nice to see a little bit of overlap there between him and him and last
28:00
game, even with Caruso in there. So overall Drummond iota sumo for me
28:04
and the Bull side and on the on the King side if Fox is in
28:08
there not it's on interest overall for me in this one, some of the
28:15
next one here, okay see and the Lakers last game of the slate in
28:18
terms of a total, second highest total on the board, two thirty eight
28:21
total, just a one and a half point spread. In terms of injury
28:23
news, you got the standard probable tags on a D Lebron is, questionable
28:30
probable tag on Cam Reddish Christian Wood remains out for the Lakers, and then
28:33
Jalen Williams with a Y does have a questionable tag for okay see. But
28:38
last game of the night here, pretty juicy game, second highest total on
28:42
the slate, very close spread in this one where you're going, okay see
28:47
Lakers, Yeah as the uh as the UH you know big price guys,
28:53
you know ten K plus guys go. I think AD is gonna be my
28:56
favorite one. I just don't see uh check Home Grew and or any of
29:00
these other bigs containing containing a D. I think this is an AD eruption
29:04
spot. I really like him tonight, going up against his team, second
29:07
night of a back to back. I mean, you know, him and
29:10
Lebron, assuming Lebron plays, are gonna want to come out and beat the
29:14
number one seed. I think they're the number one seed right now in the
29:15
Western Conference. I think this is a big game for the Lakers. Obviously
29:19
they're relatively healthy. I mean Lebron and Ady are questionable, but they're always
29:23
questionable. Assuming they play, they'll be fully loaded with Austin Reeves, d
29:27
Lo Ruey, I mean, Din Witty, the whole team, but give
29:32
me some a D. Really like him tonight at ten to one. I
29:34
think I think he breaks the slate tonight, highest scoring player on the slate.
29:38
So he's my favorite. And then I gotta show love to my guy
29:41
Jaylen Williams for the for the OKC Thunder Love him every night, but really
29:47
like him tonight as well. Seventy three hundred's suspensive price to pay, especially
29:51
for a power forward, but don't mind him at all. And then and
29:55
then other than that, that's really gonna do it for me in this game,
29:59
just based on the fact that it's expensive pieces and I think we can
30:03
get other players elsewhere, and no great breakdown. I do want to talk
30:07
on one guy in particular on the Okay she side, just because I think
30:10
he goes overlooked here and he has the potential to go for seventy DraftKings points.
30:14
It's Sga, right, I think this game is competitive here. Lakers
30:18
aren't the best against the guard position here. Sga is what scored thirty points
30:23
in what I don't know, ten straight, eleven straight something like that,
30:27
and I think he's in line for thirty real life here again picks up periphials,
30:33
potentially flirts with that triple double again like he did the last game right
30:37
where he had nine assists, eight rebounds, thirty five points. He gets
30:38
you that triple double in this matchup here. He went for seventy last game,
30:42
just missing a triple double obviously against Phoenix. I get it. It
30:47
is a back to back. They're traveling across right from Phoenix, to LA
30:49
here, but it's competitive game. Second highest total in the slate. I
30:55
think not only that all the guard positions right are guys from this Utah team
31:00
right, or value guys that that other guys want to play here. I
31:04
think spending up at the guard position here preferably with SGA, I think is
31:11
a contrarian route here tonight that could bode a ton of success in tournaments here.
31:15
So I do have a lot of interest in SGA. I also love
31:18
your take on Anthony Davis. I love the matchup for a d here.
31:22
Eighties fared pretty well against these guys. Again, He's gonna play upper thirties
31:26
minutes, always has a triple double upside, always has the seventy plus fantasy
31:33
point upside here, so I do like him. And then one other guy,
31:37
I think Austin Reeves gets the ownership in that mid tier for the Lakers.
31:41
Give me D'Angel Russell over Austin Reeves here for four hundred dollars more.
31:45
It does suck he is only point guard eligible, whereas Austin Reeves does have
31:49
that shooting guard that's like you why his ownership, But I just like the
31:52
spot more for a guy like d'angela Russell. So for me, eighty SGA
31:56
D'Angel Russell here, there's tons of value to fit. I haven't built many
32:00
teams yet, but I want to hate doing a double spend up in the
32:04
late night Hammer game here and grabbing some of that value from the Utel side,
32:07
some of those other value pieces we talked about, and see if you
32:09
can make SGA and AD team work here. That's all six games. How
32:15
much I'll kick it over to you. Any final thoughts for the people here,
32:17
any comments in the chat sticking out to you, any final remarks?
32:22
Yeah, I mean you just alluded to that. Could you play SGA and
32:24
a D in the tournament? I mean you can. I mean you're gonna
32:28
be strapped with salary once you do that and have to find a lot of
32:30
value. But there is a lot of value on you know, on that
32:31
Utah side, Memphis Brooklyn, if you wanted to go there. I mean,
32:35
those are you know, two great plays. I mean Nates loves SGA
32:38
to get seventy potentially, and I think a D could get seventy potentially too.
32:42
I mean, obviously no guarantee, but I think that's okay. But
32:45
uh yeah, I think the key piece and you alluded to it. I'll
32:46
show what's gonna be that Utah, that Utah game with Washington, right,
32:52
and so you got to find the right pieces. It doesn't matter who you
32:54
play, it's how you play them, as the Great Tambo always says.
32:58
So you got to find the right pieces. There's gonna be some value how
33:00
many studs can you jam in? But it should be an entertaining night,
33:04
especially for those folks that, like I said, they'd like to switch lot
33:07
ups all night. Wait on that news. So we'll see how it goes.
33:10
