Speaker 1: All systems going on clearing?
0:41
Speaker 2: What is happening ship at Nation? It is your boy,
0:44
Speaker 2: M Bellman ninety sixty seven. I am here to talk
0:47
Speaker 2: over the Saturday, November one NBA slate on DraftKings. We've
0:52
Speaker 2: got a small four gamer, little sprint splate, little sprint slate.
0:57
Speaker 1: Excuse me.
0:57
Speaker 2: We got the first game starting at six eastern a
0:59
Speaker 2: little bit earlier, and the last game tipping off at
1:02
Speaker 2: eight eastern, so two in between, small little four gamer.
1:06
Speaker 2: The early game of Sacramento and Milwaukee is not on
1:09
Speaker 2: the slate, and neither is the Dallas Detroit game, the
1:12
Speaker 2: Mexico City game, which is at ten eastern, I believe.
1:15
Speaker 2: So we just got four games to talk over. Hopefully
1:18
Speaker 2: everyone is having a great weekend. Everyone had a great Halloween.
1:22
Speaker 2: Without further ado, let's hop into this slate, let me
1:25
Speaker 2: screen share, and we will dive right in. All right, cool,
1:34
Speaker 2: should be, should be pretty good there, all right, first game,
1:37
Speaker 2: we got Minnesota at Charlotte. So from the Minnesota side,
1:40
Speaker 2: no Jalen Crap, no Jalen Clark, no Anthony Edwards. Still
1:44
Speaker 2: so that's gonna put a bunch of these guys certainly
1:47
Speaker 2: in play. If nothing else price increases on all these guys,
1:51
Speaker 2: so they're no longer the must plays they were on
1:53
Speaker 2: slate's pass, but still some guys in good spots. Dante
1:57
Speaker 2: di Vincenzo sixty six hundred, now, you know, projecting for
2:01
Speaker 2: thirty fantasy points. His ceiling is high on a four
2:03
Speaker 2: game slate, but he's certainly not a guy with a
2:05
Speaker 2: thirty point projection that I'm going to, you know, prioritize
2:08
Speaker 2: as of right now. I think the two main guys
2:11
Speaker 2: we're looking at that we probably would prioritize it if
2:14
Speaker 2: anyone here is going to be Julius Randall and Jaden McDaniels.
2:17
Speaker 2: Randall's price is up, but it's probably where it should be.
2:20
Speaker 2: Projects pretty well at eighty five hundred, forty two and
2:22
Speaker 2: a half fantasy points, really nice ceiling there, and then
2:25
Speaker 2: McDaniels he projectly at fifty seven hundred, you know, twenty
2:30
Speaker 2: nine fantasy points with a forty point ceiling. I like
2:33
Speaker 2: both those guys. I would say, as of like right now,
2:41
Speaker 2: I think the guys that we'd prioritize are those two.
2:44
Speaker 2: And then Nasried coming off the bench. Don't want to
2:46
Speaker 2: forget about him fifty three hundred projects for twenty six
2:49
Speaker 2: fantasy points. Minnesota isn't a really good spot here against Charlotte.
2:53
Speaker 2: We know no Aunt, so certainly want to get some
2:56
Speaker 2: Minnesota exposure. Again, prices are up, so I don't think
2:59
Speaker 2: we want a jam four pieces of the t Wolves here,
3:01
Speaker 2: but getting to two or three makes sense in an
3:04
Speaker 2: optimal early lineup. Again, we'll have to wait and see
3:06
Speaker 2: on injuries and stuff. And speaking of injuries, we got
3:09
Speaker 2: a pretty big one on the other side of this game.
3:11
Speaker 2: But with the Hornets, let me.
3:15
Speaker 1: All right, there we go.
3:17
Speaker 2: All right, it should be on the Hornets here, now
3:19
Speaker 2: move it over a little bit, all right, it should.
3:26
Speaker 1: Be good now, all right.
3:27
Speaker 2: So starting with LaMelo Ball, he is questionable tonight. So
3:31
Speaker 2: if he's in, he looks like a really good spend
3:34
Speaker 2: up price is kind of plateauing at ninety eight to
3:37
Speaker 2: ninety nine hundred. He's ninety eight hundred tonight projects for
3:40
Speaker 2: forty six and a half Fantasy points with a sixty
3:42
Speaker 2: one plus points ceiling. A lot to light there if
3:45
Speaker 2: he is in.
3:47
Speaker 1: If he's in, the rest of the.
3:48
Speaker 2: Charlotte looks pretty good. This should be a competitive game
3:51
Speaker 2: with no Aunt and if you have Lamello in so
3:54
Speaker 2: Sexton's priced at six k. He looks decent here. No
3:57
Speaker 2: problem with Sexton. Miles Bridges is you know, expensive ish
4:01
Speaker 2: for his median projection, but has a high ceiling at
4:04
Speaker 2: seventy five hundred Kulk Brenner has been really good. I
4:07
Speaker 2: think you can look again at Trey Mann even coming
4:10
Speaker 2: off the bench, projects decently at forty two hundred.
4:13
Speaker 1: But really we want to.
4:14
Speaker 2: Talk about these guys if LaMelo is out, because if
4:16
Speaker 2: LaMelo is out again you already have Brandon Miller being out.
4:20
Speaker 2: It just opens up so much usage, so much everything
4:23
Speaker 2: for Charlotte here. So if LaMelo's out, I don't think
4:25
Speaker 2: we can get enough Charlotte exposure. Sexton would look like
4:28
Speaker 2: one of, if not the best plays on the slate
4:30
Speaker 2: at six K. Canipple at fifty one hundred already looks decent,
4:33
Speaker 2: would look even better. Miles Bridges would look like an
4:36
Speaker 2: elite play. Trey Mann would become you know, right there
4:39
Speaker 2: with Sexton as one of, if not the best plays
4:41
Speaker 2: on the slate. So a lot to like about Charlotte
4:44
Speaker 2: as is. If LaMelo is out, I think we're looking
4:48
Speaker 2: much harder at Charlotte.
4:50
Speaker 1: If he's in.
4:51
Speaker 2: I think, you know, probably points per dollar wise, kulk
4:56
Speaker 2: Brenner is the best play. LaMelo is the guy always
4:59
Speaker 2: that has the most top side for sure. He's been really,
5:02
Speaker 2: really good this year, so a lot to like him
5:04
Speaker 2: on any slate, certainly on a small four gamer.
5:07
Speaker 1: Tonight is no exception, all right. Moving on.
5:11
Speaker 2: To Golden State at Indiana. So, Indiana is one of
5:16
Speaker 2: two teams coming off playing last night, so they are
5:18
Speaker 2: on the.
5:18
Speaker 1: Back half of the of a back to back.
5:21
Speaker 2: Golden State coming off a rough loss a couple of
5:23
Speaker 2: nights ago against a Milwaukee team that was shorthanded missing
5:27
Speaker 2: Yannis still managed to get the win against Golden State.
5:29
Speaker 1: Let me center this cool should be good to go.
5:33
Speaker 2: So as far as the Golden State guys go, you know,
5:37
Speaker 2: we've got four guys projecting between twenty and twenty five
5:40
Speaker 2: percent ownership. I do think that Kaminga, the guy right
5:44
Speaker 2: now we're projecting for twenty three ish percent ownership, will
5:47
Speaker 2: be the highest on and all said and done at
5:50
Speaker 2: sixty two hundred, just cheap for his production so far,
5:54
Speaker 2: projects well, really good spot against Indiana. Kuminga's my favorite piece,
5:58
Speaker 2: especially if that ownership state is where it is I
6:01
Speaker 2: expect him to be higher owned. I think he should
6:03
Speaker 2: be higher owned. So Kaminga is the guy that I'm
6:05
Speaker 2: looking at most. I think Butler looks good here. Falling
6:08
Speaker 2: price tag at seventy three hundred. All these guys tags
6:11
Speaker 2: are falling a little bit, so that makes them appealing,
6:14
Speaker 2: especially if we get LaMelo in and Charlotte doesn't look
6:16
Speaker 2: as good again, Minnesota's price tags are up, Charlotte's price
6:21
Speaker 2: tags are plateauing or up, especially if LaMelo is in.
6:25
Speaker 2: Golden States are falling. So I do think on a
6:28
Speaker 2: four game slate you could potentially overstat Golden State here
6:31
Speaker 2: in a really good spot against Indiana. You know, wouldn't
6:36
Speaker 2: be the first time Steph has won me a tournament
6:37
Speaker 2: playing in this in this arena, So little biased there,
6:41
Speaker 2: not that I think he projects great at eighty eight hundred,
6:44
Speaker 2: but I do think this is again small four game
6:46
Speaker 2: slate you think game theory a little bit. I do
6:49
Speaker 2: think Kaminga is the highest owned here, but none of
6:51
Speaker 2: these guys are getting crazy ownership, and they are in
6:53
Speaker 2: a really good spot against Indiana. Other than that, knowing
6:57
Speaker 2: I'm really looking at off the bench is a potential
7:01
Speaker 2: you know, blowout spot for Golden State, but I would
7:03
Speaker 2: feel better about that if they were at home. As
7:06
Speaker 2: far as Indiana goes, you know, again, they're still really
7:09
Speaker 2: really depleted. Played last night, got rolled by Atlanta, So
7:14
Speaker 2: that kind of tells you where they are at right now.
7:16
Speaker 2: Only a few months remove from an NBA's Final. From
7:19
Speaker 2: an NBA Finals run price tags are up here, so
7:23
Speaker 2: you're seeing ownership kind of plateauing or falling a little
7:26
Speaker 2: bit with them. We saw Quentin Jackson get the start
7:29
Speaker 2: last night. I think he was thirty eight hundred. He's
7:31
Speaker 2: thirty seven hundred to night. He had a good game,
7:34
Speaker 2: doesn't project amazing, but again we saw it last night
7:37
Speaker 2: in a spot where he got a little bit of
7:39
Speaker 2: extra run because of the blowout he started anyway, so
7:42
Speaker 2: certainly there's potential for extra minutes if he's playing well.
7:45
Speaker 2: He doesn't project great, but he's got a high ceiling
7:47
Speaker 2: and he's not getting a.
7:48
Speaker 1: Ton of love.
7:49
Speaker 2: Jaris Walker's been phenomenal. I've been a fan of his
7:51
Speaker 2: since Houston. He's a guy that can do a little
7:53
Speaker 2: bit of everything, even at that rising price tag. He's
7:56
Speaker 2: my favorite piece of Indiana dual eligibility. There projects well,
8:00
Speaker 2: high ceiling. I like him quite a bit, and then Pascal.
8:03
Speaker 2: He's been phenomenal this year in close games. I mean,
8:06
Speaker 2: Siakam has been amazing. So if you project this game
8:09
Speaker 2: to be really competitive to the end, I think Siakam
8:11
Speaker 2: is a guy you want, especially if you're playing a
8:13
Speaker 2: lot of Golden State, and Golden State is cheap enough
8:15
Speaker 2: now where you can play two three Golden State and Siakam.
8:18
Speaker 2: We're not getting the ten K plus Curry nine K
8:21
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler. Butler is almost seven K, Curry's under nine K,
8:25
Speaker 2: So I do think this game is very stackable if
8:28
Speaker 2: that's the route you want to go.
8:30
Speaker 1: Ray J.
8:30
Speaker 2: Dennis would be the last guy that's in play for me,
8:33
Speaker 2: just playing really good ball. Price tag is up from
8:36
Speaker 2: what it was a few games ago, but it should
8:38
Speaker 2: be fifty two hundred projects for twenty nine plus Fantasy
8:41
Speaker 2: points forty plus ceiling. I'm interested. I think he's under
8:44
Speaker 2: owned right now. He's a guy I definitely want exposure
8:47
Speaker 2: to and have interest in if this slate started right now,
8:52
Speaker 2: all right, Moving on to Orlando, who has been a
8:56
Speaker 2: big disappointment this season. They're coming off a win against
8:59
Speaker 2: Charlotte but they have not been good. They have all
9:02
Speaker 2: of a sudden decided not to play any defense. Their
9:05
Speaker 2: games are being being played at a much, much faster pace,
9:08
Speaker 2: and then we kind of know who Washington is at
9:10
Speaker 2: this point in the DFS realm. Their team you always
9:13
Speaker 2: want to pick on. So Orlando finds himself in a
9:16
Speaker 2: really really good spot. Definitely guys are going to get
9:19
Speaker 2: ownership here, and it makes sense. I think with Orlando.
9:21
Speaker 2: It starts with Polo has been up and down this year,
9:24
Speaker 2: back to back really good games. His assist numbers or
9:26
Speaker 2: sky high. If he had gotten one more assist or
9:28
Speaker 2: one more board last game, you know, his DFS score
9:31
Speaker 2: would have been, you know, absolutely needed. Even without it,
9:35
Speaker 2: he ended up with like forty nine or fifty. So
9:37
Speaker 2: he's feeling good right now. Prices up at nine K
9:41
Speaker 2: should be though, so you know this is probably the
9:44
Speaker 2: peak of his pricing point and not a lot of
9:46
Speaker 2: main slates I wouldn't want to get there, But on
9:48
Speaker 2: this smaller four game one, I think he's obviously wild
9:51
Speaker 2: in play and a priority if you want him to
9:53
Speaker 2: be projects good At eighty nine hundred and forty two
9:55
Speaker 2: and a half Fantasy points, high ceilings certainly in this spot.
9:58
Speaker 2: If Washington can stay in this game, and why wouldn't
10:00
Speaker 2: they be able to? Orlando kind of stinks, then he
10:03
Speaker 2: should have put up a really big score here. Now
10:05
Speaker 2: you're finally getting the bigger price discrepancy between Polo and Franz.
10:09
Speaker 2: Franz at seventy four hundred, he looks good here. You know,
10:13
Speaker 2: Polo's obviously playing better and his the higher ceiling, but
10:15
Speaker 2: now their prices represent that. So I like both these
10:18
Speaker 2: guys there. Bain has not been good, but he projects well.
10:22
Speaker 2: He's got a high seeing. If there was a get
10:24
Speaker 2: right spot for him, it'd be tonight against Washington. I
10:26
Speaker 2: do like the idea of getting the Bain ownership is there,
10:29
Speaker 2: but I think it kind of gets split between all
10:31
Speaker 2: these guys. I think you can play multiple of them,
10:33
Speaker 2: especially if you want to stay away from that Golden
10:35
Speaker 2: State spot or play it with the Golden State spot.
10:38
Speaker 2: Wendell Carter would be the other guy I'm interested in
10:41
Speaker 2: was really good for us the other night Monster second half.
10:44
Speaker 2: Fifty four hundred is just a really good price for Wendell,
10:48
Speaker 2: especially in a spot where I don't think Washington can
10:50
Speaker 2: really stop him on the inside. So if he gets
10:52
Speaker 2: the run, he should put up a good score potential
10:54
Speaker 2: great score here. So I like this game from a
10:57
Speaker 2: DFS perspective, and I have no reason to think despite
10:59
Speaker 2: this that Washington cannot stay in this game. And Washington
11:04
Speaker 2: has not been good. Don't get it twisted. But this
11:07
Speaker 2: is a team with upside. They have players who are capable,
11:10
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't be shocked at all if they win
11:12
Speaker 2: this game, even as an eight and a half point
11:14
Speaker 2: dog here.
11:15
Speaker 1: So CJ.
11:16
Speaker 2: McCollum is the guy getting the most love. Just a
11:19
Speaker 2: really nice price tag here. He's never a guy that
11:21
Speaker 2: you're excited about playing at this point in his career.
11:23
Speaker 2: Who knows how long he'll be on Washington, but projects
11:26
Speaker 2: for almost thirty three Fantasy points, big ceiling at sixty
11:28
Speaker 2: two hundred, He's getting.
11:30
Speaker 1: The most love, good amount to like there.
11:32
Speaker 2: Chris Middleton looks good at fifty three hundred, projects for
11:36
Speaker 2: twenty eight Fantasy points. You know, you never know how
11:38
Speaker 2: many minutes these guys are gonna play, but you also
11:40
Speaker 2: don't know how many wins the Wizards are gonna get.
11:42
Speaker 2: So if this is a competitive game, not gonna be
11:44
Speaker 2: surprised if these guys see more run than you would
11:46
Speaker 2: normally think. You know, Sar has been monstrous lately. Price
11:51
Speaker 2: tag is up at sixty nine hundred, and you can't
11:53
Speaker 2: really trust the minutes, but at low ownership on a
11:55
Speaker 2: small slate, I think he's in play if nothing else.
11:59
Speaker 2: And the other guy I like, kind of in all
12:01
Speaker 2: games scripts, especially if you're playing this game where you
12:03
Speaker 2: do think it blows out, is Trey Johnson, stud rookie
12:06
Speaker 2: out of Texas.
12:07
Speaker 1: He just has.
12:08
Speaker 2: Montrous upside in any given game he shoots a ton.
12:10
Speaker 2: He's been given the green light forty six hundred. I
12:13
Speaker 2: think that he's in a really good spot to I
12:16
Speaker 2: wouldn't say break a slate, but to be needed at
12:18
Speaker 2: that price point.
12:20
Speaker 1: All right, last League last.
12:22
Speaker 2: But not least, I sho'd say, we've got Houston at Boston. Boston,
12:25
Speaker 2: the other team that played last night got to win,
12:28
Speaker 2: but it was really really close against Philly after they
12:30
Speaker 2: were up massive in the first half. So take that
12:32
Speaker 2: with a grain of salt, or at least mentally noted
12:35
Speaker 2: going into the night. Who knows if that will affect
12:38
Speaker 2: a rotation to night. Playing a tough game against Philly
12:40
Speaker 2: last night, but now they're in an equally tough spot
12:43
Speaker 2: against Houston here. So starting with the Rockets, they've got
12:46
Speaker 2: guys all over getting ownership, just really really good price
12:48
Speaker 2: tags on Houston here. Amen Thompson seven K projects for
12:54
Speaker 2: thirty seven and a half fantasy points fifty points ceiling.
12:58
Speaker 2: He's getting close to between twenty five and thirty percent
13:01
Speaker 2: ownership depending on where you look. We have him at
13:03
Speaker 2: twenty seven percent, so a lot to like there at
13:05
Speaker 2: that price tag. Jabari Smith fifty one hundred, he projects
13:09
Speaker 2: really well. Ap Alprin Sangun ninety two hundred, not getting
13:14
Speaker 2: a ton of love, but certainly has high upside in
13:16
Speaker 2: this spot. Josh Akogi looks like one of the top
13:20
Speaker 2: value plays on the slate. At thirty seven hundred. He
13:23
Speaker 2: projects for a little bit over twenty one fantasy points
13:26
Speaker 2: thirty point ceiling, getting thirty plus percent ownership right now.
13:29
Speaker 2: He's not a guy I ever loved playing at Chalk
13:31
Speaker 2: because he's just not a guy that has the ball
13:34
Speaker 2: and has high usage and does a lot of the
13:36
Speaker 2: things you want. That said, he's thirty seven hundred on
13:40
Speaker 2: a slate that as of right now, we don't have
13:42
Speaker 2: a ton of value. If LaMelo is out, I would
13:44
Speaker 2: imagine a Kogi's ownership kind of falls with the wind
13:48
Speaker 2: or blows with the wind. I should say he'll still
13:50
Speaker 2: get ownership and some love at thirty seven hundred, as
13:53
Speaker 2: he should, but he won't be that that overly, overly
13:56
Speaker 2: chalky piece that you know you may be looking to
13:58
Speaker 2: avoid tournaments. I think he just becomes a good play
14:00
Speaker 2: at that point. Last, but not least on Houston, Tarry
14:03
Speaker 2: Easton forty five hundred, he's the guy like the most.
14:06
Speaker 2: He projects really really well at twenty five and a
14:09
Speaker 2: half fantasy points, big ceiling. He's getting ownership, but not enough.
14:13
Speaker 2: I like Tarry Easton a lot here. I think you
14:16
Speaker 2: can play multiple Houston guys. You know, NBA dfs, especially
14:19
Speaker 2: all dfs, but NBA in particular is a price game.
14:22
Speaker 2: Houston's got good pricing tonight. Houston and Golden State guys
14:25
Speaker 2: have been priced, probably cheaper than they should be. So
14:28
Speaker 2: both those spots look look really good. All right, Last,
14:31
Speaker 2: but not least, I got my dog wanted to get out. Also,
14:33
Speaker 2: so perfect timing. We've got the Boston side of this game.
14:36
Speaker 2: No one looks great here. You know, four guys getting
14:39
Speaker 2: between ten and sixteen percent ownership. Josh may Not let
14:42
Speaker 2: down a lot of people last night coming off two
14:44
Speaker 2: monster games.
14:45
Speaker 1: He's forty eight hundred.
14:47
Speaker 2: He's fine, Like, I'm not playing it at forty eight hundred,
14:50
Speaker 2: but I don't think you're wrong to play him. Peyton
14:52
Speaker 2: Pritchard sixty five hundred, probably my favorite piece. He's just
14:56
Speaker 2: got high upside if and when his shot is falling
14:59
Speaker 2: highest the six state, highest assist rate on the team,
15:02
Speaker 2: you know, projects okay, but he's got a high ceiling.
15:04
Speaker 2: So in tournaments he's my favorite piece. Jalen Brown at
15:07
Speaker 2: eighty six hundred, fine with it, coming off a monster
15:10
Speaker 2: first half last night, so we know he's got it
15:12
Speaker 2: in him. And then Derek White kind of the same thing.
15:15
Speaker 2: I think all these guys are getting appropriately owned. No
15:18
Speaker 2: one's getting a ton of love. I understand the wantingness
15:21
Speaker 2: to run it back if you're playing a lot of Houston,
15:24
Speaker 2: I think that's totally fine, but I also don't think
15:27
Speaker 2: it's needed at all. I just think, again, as I
15:29
Speaker 2: had mentioned a couple of minutes ago or a minute ago,
15:31
Speaker 2: NBA is such a pricing game, with such cheap tags
15:34
Speaker 2: on Houston. It's not like you need Boston guys, especially
15:38
Speaker 2: in Boston. I wouldn't say is priced up, but priced
15:40
Speaker 2: where they should be. All Right, that's all four games.
15:44
Speaker 2: That's all I got for you, guys. I hope you
15:46
