  All systems going clear, the lift up. What's up? Guys, rio
• 0:37
  here are gonna be breaking down the six game NBA Slate on Saturday, March
• 0:41
  ninth, Big weekend over here at the Nation. Got m M A tonight?
• 0:45
  Do you UFC two ninety nine. If you guys get the chance,
• 0:48
  go check out Big Marley in the title towns breakdown of that one to the
• 0:53
  best in the industry, what they do. Big Slate's obviously big money to
• 0:57
  be made over there, looking forward to it. Got golf going on right
• 1:00
  now, Nascart tomorrow, and of course NBA every day, So a lot
• 1:03
  of stuff going on over here. If you do not remember, use code
• 1:07
  Hoop fifteen get you fifteen percent off on your first purchase. But yeah,
• 1:12
  let's get right into it. First game of the Slate got Brooklyn taking on
• 1:18
  Charlotte. Not a ton of interest in this game. Brooklyn's going to be
• 1:22
  getting back Cam Thomas kind of takes off all the upside and value of guys
• 1:26
  like Dennis Schroeder, Dennis Smith Junior, Lonnie Walker. So I'm off of
• 1:29
  those guys, I think the only one I'm really considering on the Brooklyn side
• 1:32
  of things is Nick Claxon. Pretty good matchup for him, but the minutes
• 1:34
  might not be there with Daryn Sharp returning, probably gets back to you know,
• 1:40
  low thirties minutes in this one. But it is a good matchup,
• 1:42
  so I don't mind him. Charlotte Interiors defense has still been pretty bad this
• 1:46
  season. On the Charlotte side of things, They'll be without Trey Man again,
• 1:49
  so we should see Vasilji Michic take on another big, big, large
• 1:56
  ball Handley Roll leading the team in touch time over the last three four games.
• 2:00
  Saw Bridges put it on last night, put up fifty seven DK points
• 2:05
  in that one. Finally got the double double thirty two points. So I
• 2:08
  think that he is a pretty good option at eight point five K, but
• 2:12
  I don't love the matchup, don't love this game environment as a whole.
• 2:15
  I think I'm really only considering me Chichen Bridges tonight on in that game.
• 2:21
  Next one, Dallas versus Detroit got a lot of interest in this one.
• 2:24
  Mavericks have been one of the worst teams defensively over the past seven games,
• 2:29
  ranked dead last and defensive rating in that stretch, giving up a ton of
• 2:32
  three pointers. I think they're dead last and three pointers allowed per game in
• 2:37
  those last seven games as well. Piston's obviously one of the worst team's worst
• 2:39
  defenses all season long. Interior defense has been really bad. A little bit
• 2:44
  better versus three point shooters, but their pick and roll defense has been terrible.
• 2:47
  Makes me love Luca tonight as the top spin up. I think twelve
• 2:51
  point two K is a fine price for him. He's got a seventy plus
• 2:55
  point upside pretty much every time that he plays, and he's shown eighty to
• 3:00
  twoe hundred point upsides. I think that with this game projected to be pretty
• 3:04
  close eight point spread right now, I love Luca has spent up tonight,
• 3:07
  so I definitely get to him. I think that Kyrie is a great option
• 3:12
  as well, really good matchup for the guards b Max one Kyrie and Luca.
• 3:15
  Obviously prefer Luca, but I think Kyrie at eight point six K makes
• 3:17
  a lot of sense as well. And then outside that, really only considering
• 3:23
  Daniel Gafford. Derek Clive is going to miss this game, and Gafford got
• 3:25
  the start last game. I think that there's probably some pretty big minutes upside
• 3:30
  for him in this one. With the front court being pretty big on the
• 3:32
  Pisson side of things, I think he's got a lot of upside at four
• 3:36
  point four K and probably one of the better values on the slate. On
• 3:38
  the Pisson side of things. Love Caid at ak minutes. I have been
• 3:44
  there for him. I think he's pretty much off his minutes restriction, like
• 3:47
  around thirty four to thirty six minutes in a close game. And like I
• 3:51
  said, the Piston or the Mavericks one of the worst defenses right now in
• 3:54
  this current stretch. So I love Kaid as a mid tier spind up option
• 3:59
  tonight at eight K. Jalen Duran, I think he's fine. The matchup
• 4:01
  is pretty good against Dale Gafford. We know that he's been a pretty bad
• 4:04
  in tier defender with his his years with the Wizards, so I think that
• 4:10
  he's an okay mitser option at the center position. Six point six k.
• 4:15
  Ivy's looking at some ownership. I think I'm okay with that five point seven
• 4:18
  K. He played a ton of minutes last time, minutes I have been
• 4:20
  kind of up and down for him. Yeah, twenty nine minutes, twenty
• 4:25
  five minutes, and then thirty nine minutes last game, So I'd be okay.
• 4:29
  Get away from away from ivied ownership. I do, I do like
• 4:31
  a sar Thompson this one, though he played a ton of minutes. He's
• 4:35
  been playing a ton of minutes forty three, thirty four, thirty three,
• 4:38
  thirty seven, thirty five, thirty six in his last six games. Yes,
• 4:44
  I think that he's a great option to five point six K. I
• 4:46
  don't mind Beef stew Isaiah Stewart. He's shown really big upset at times playing
• 4:49
  thirty plus minutes a night. Yeah, I think I think that he's pretty
• 4:55
  good. And then front Techio liked the spot for him for three point shooters,
• 4:58
  I'd probably be a max one a sar Thompson and on tech Yo though.
• 5:01
  Next game Boston versus Phoenix fun game from a viewers standpoint, but it's
• 5:06
  not the best game for a DFS perspective. Devin Booker looks like he could
• 5:12
  be making his return tonight from the ankle injury, so that really just kind
• 5:15
  of gets me off of pretty much everybody on the Suns considering the matchup,
• 5:19
  considering their price tags. So Soun's pretty much gonna be a full fad for
• 5:24
  for me tonight. I can get to Tatum at nine point three K.
• 5:29
  Regardless of Jaylen Brown. Jaylen Brown's questionable right now played a ton of minutes
• 5:33
  against Denver the other night, so I would not be surprised to see him
• 5:38
  miss this one. But yeah, Tatum looks like a really really good spind
• 5:40
  up option. Nine point three K really cheap for him and would be really
• 5:44
  good if Jaylen Brown wrought a miss. Porzingis is really tough matchup. Sun's
• 5:47
  been one of the best teams and not allowing fantasy scoring to opposing centers.
• 5:54
  But he's been you know, he's been playing really well, lady, shooting
• 5:56
  the ball really well, so I don't mind him. I think he's got
• 5:58
  a lot of upside at seven points, and I do like the matchup a
• 6:01
  lot for Derek White. He's been the guy that's benefited a ton from any
• 6:05
  one of the starters missing a game, and the Suns have been one of
• 6:10
  the worst teams that defending opposing guards this season, so I think that he's
• 6:13
  really good at six point one K. That's really all I'm considering this one,
• 6:15
  though not a ton of interest. Next game, San Antonio Spurs taking
• 6:19
  on Gold State Warriors. Spurs will be without Wemby, so we'll see Zach
• 6:24
  Collins getting no start, He's gonna be really strong value option at five point
• 6:27
  eight K. Played thirty minutes last time, put up thirty seven DK points.
• 6:30
  Devin Vessel is going to take on another big offensive workload. Usage was
• 6:34
  not as high as I thought it would be with Wemby out, but he's
• 6:36
  been playing great, has like fifty plus DK points and three of his last
• 6:43
  seven to three of the last six games something like that. I'm not too
• 6:46
  afraid of the matchup here. I think that he's a pretty pretty good option.
• 6:48
  Seven point seven K Keldon and so I'm gonna have to pick up some
• 6:51
  of the slack two. Do you prefer Keldon from an upside standpoint, But
• 6:56
  both are pretty good, same eligibility one hundred dollars difference, so I guess
• 7:01
  just choose whichever one is gonna be lower owned. Trey Jones minutes kind of
• 7:05
  got cut down a little bit, but he's been one of the guys that
• 7:08
  benefited a ton from a usage standpoint with one be off the court of the
• 7:11
  season, so I think that he's fine. And then Brandon, I think
• 7:14
  is kind of a sneaky option at four point four K with no Chetty osmin
• 7:16
  tonight. He's played twenty six plus minutes in three straight games, put thirty
• 7:20
  five, twenty five and thirty four DK points in those games. So I
• 7:25
  think that he's a pretty good value option. Is gonna be looking to be
• 7:29
  pretty low owned on the wairior side. Things They're gonna be without Steph Curry,
• 7:32
  so gonna see Chris Paul most likely stigned to the starting lineup. And
• 7:38
  I think that he's a really really good option in the mid tier at six
• 7:41
  point four K, a possible core play. Spurs are just terrible versus the
• 7:46
  posing point guards bottom two in DVP, and I think even if Chris Paul
• 7:49
  only gets up to thirty minutes, he is a pretty good shot of paying
• 7:53
  off this price tag. Gonna have the ball in his hands a ton,
• 7:56
  im gonna have a lot of assist potential assist in this one, So I
• 7:59
  think he's a great opt. I think kaminga pretty good matchup for him versus
• 8:03
  a week rim defense. He's shown a really big upside, but the price
• 8:05
  almost seven K, I think that I'm okay getting away from that. Looking
• 8:09
  at double digit ownership as well, I think Draymond is pretty good even at
• 8:13
  six point AK. Yeah, I mean the matchup is good for opposing centers
• 8:20
  with no Wemby especially, but yeah, he had he had triple double last
• 8:24
  game, so we know that he has that upside, the fifty point upside,
• 8:26
  So yeah, I think he could get that again. Here, I
• 8:31
  think Clay at six point three K looking at sub five percent ownership, he's
• 8:35
  been one of the guys that's benefited in a big way without step off the
• 8:39
  court of the season from a usage standpoint, from a per thirty six minute
• 8:43
  standpoints, I like him at six point three K, and then Tray Jackson
• 8:46
  Davis at three point AK. Been been getting the backup center run for the
• 8:50
  Warriors right now and been a really solid fantasy point for a minute producer in
• 8:56
  that role. Great matchup for opposing bigs against the Spurs team with no be
• 9:00
  downloaded protect the paint. Next game Utah versus Denver, Utah going to be
• 9:05
  without Lauri Markin and again tonight they we just got the news that Walker Kesler
• 9:11
  will play tonight, so he'll fill in those backup center minutes again here.
• 9:15
  Can't say George's back, So this team's getting get a little bit healthier on
• 9:20
  the nugget side of things. They are fully healthy as of right now,
• 9:26
  so nothing no injury on their side of things. But yeah, I don't
• 9:30
  I don't love the spot for Utah double digit dogs on the road going into
• 9:33
  Denver. I'm pretty pretty okay getting away from all these guys, especially now
• 9:39
  that Walker Kessler's back. Did have a little bit of interest in John Collins,
• 9:43
  but can't get there now with uh. With Walker back, I think
• 9:46
  the minutes start to come down a little bit. Concepts have been playing thirty
• 9:50
  five, thirty four minutes a night lately, and he's got I think he's
• 9:54
  pretty much matchup proof at this point. He's in you know, he's playing
• 9:56
  really really good this season. Site. I don't think that he's the craziest.
• 10:00
  I'm seeing sub five percent, sub four percent ownership on him. I'm
• 10:03
  not getting to Clarkson tonight with Kanty George back, Noan Kessler, no one
• 10:09
  done, no on THT. I think sense thebo makes a little bit of
• 10:11
  sense. I think that he's leapfrogged Lucas Saminich in the depth chart, played
• 10:18
  thirty minutes in his first career start, put up a double double. Yeah,
• 10:22
  I mean if he starts. I think that he's okay, but don't
• 10:24
  don't love the spot for Utah. Do like some of these guys on the
• 10:28
  Denver side of things. Obviously, Jokich is a great spin up option.
• 10:33
  I prefer Luca for a little bit more expensive in a more competitive game environment,
• 10:37
  but Jokic has the same upside as Lucas, so it would be fine
• 10:41
  if you if you need a high sight center. He's the guy Jamal Murray.
• 10:46
  I really love this matchup for him. Jazz are dead last and DVP
• 10:48
  versus point guards this season. Jamal sub Ak looks really, really good,
• 10:52
  and he has fifty plus DK point games in backsback games before putting up forty
• 10:58
  and a half against Austin last night, playing a good amount of minutes too.
• 11:03
  See, I really like Juel Murray tonight. I like MPJ as well,
• 11:07
  my comporter Junior a time. Jazz are bottom two in catch and shoot
• 11:09
  defense and in three pointers allowed per game. I think that this could be
• 11:13
  one of the games where you look back and see MPJ scored forty five to
• 11:16
  fifty DK points and you wish you played him. I think he's got a
• 11:20
  really big upside in this one. And then I think Peyton Watson is kind
• 11:24
  of fine to keeping your playpool if you need like a low three K value
• 11:28
  option at the power forward position. He's been playing pretty well lately off the
• 11:31
  bench, and he could play to blow out as well. Last game of
• 11:35
  the night to run O versus Portland probably one of the better games from the
• 11:39
  DFS environment standpoint. Both these seems really bad defensively and offenses have been improving
• 11:43
  a little bit manual quickly. Starting on the Toronto side of things, he
• 11:48
  looks really good. This Portland team is bottom seven and DVP versus point guards
• 11:52
  quickly kind of showed that same upside that he did a couple of years ago
• 11:54
  with the Knicks when they were short handed, putting up triple doubles. So
• 11:58
  I think he's a really strong option. Eight point two K almost had a
• 12:03
  triple double last game, had eighteen assists, which I believe is a career
• 12:05
  high for him, nine rebounds played forty minutes, playing thirty six to thirty
• 12:11
  eight minutes on a nightly basis, so I think that you have to have
• 12:13
  some interest in him. I think this is a pretty good spot for RJ
• 12:16
  Barrett as well. Blazers are bottom five and transition defense, and Barrett leads
• 12:20
  the Raptors in transition score in the season. I think he goes pretty overlooked
• 12:24
  at seven point nine K. I'm not getting to Kelly olynok. The minutes
• 12:28
  just have not been there for him. They've been running out pretty dep rotation
• 12:33
  in the front court, so I think I'll get away from Alynic at six
• 12:37
  point seven K. Gary Trent okay to keeping your player point five point five
• 12:41
  K. Don't love the matchup for three point shooters in this one. Blazer
• 12:45
  has been pretty good defending that, but he's taken twenty two shots double digit
• 12:48
  shot attempts in pretty much every game that he's been starting lately, so I
• 12:52
  think that he's fine. I mentioned Javon Freeman Liberty played eighteen minutes and back
• 12:58
  to back games. I think just someone to keep an eye on moving forward.
• 13:01
  If this team misses anybody, if quickly we're going to sit out a
• 13:05
  game, I think that he's gonna He's gonna be very interesting in the future.
• 13:09
  He's been killing in the G League, so definitely somebody I have interested
• 13:13
  in down the line. On the Portland side of things, Anthony Simon's a
• 13:18
  great spot for him. This Raptors team has just been terrible defensively, dead
• 13:22
  last and defensive rating over the past two or three months, so I really
• 13:26
  like Anthony Simons here. Usage has been really good over the last four games
• 13:28
  as well, leading the team eight point three K looks really good with the
• 13:31
  point guard shooting guard eligibility, so I have a lot of interest in him
• 13:35
  tonight. I think Grant is okay to keeping your playerpool at seven point two
• 13:39
  K, but he is questionable, so we have to keep an eye on
• 13:43
  that. I mean double check. I don't know if they've even submitted an
• 13:46
  injury report yet. Yeah, so they haven't submitted yet, but he's been
• 13:56
  missing the last Coal game, so keep an eye on that. One brief
• 14:00
  really good spot for him. Raptor has been giving up a ton of three
• 14:03
  pointers. He's been shooting a ton for six last game, oh for a
• 14:05
  five game before that, but five out of six, so he's taken around
• 14:09
  six a game, playing thirty plus minutes a night, scored thirty plus DK
• 14:13
  points in three out of his last six games as well, so I like
• 14:15
  him. And then Delano Bean he's been crushing it last couple of games.
• 14:22
  Thirty two dk points, twenty nine point twenty five and then fifty two last
• 14:24
  game. I think that they're going to just have to give him run,
• 14:28
  just with how good he's played. But if Jeremy Grant were to miss,
• 14:31
  would have a lot of interest in him. I think he'd be one of
• 14:33
  the better value options tonight. That's gonna do it though, all six games.
• 14:39
  Nice quick fifteen minute breakdown right there. Yeah, good luck tonight everyone,
• 14:43
  I hope. But everybody has a great weekend. See you later.
• 15:00
  He had been still needed a bus and then still mothered and pans and then still
