  Speaker 1: Yah, All system's gone clear the lift up? What is
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: going on?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Shipping Nation YouTube station? We are back with another edition
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: of a four gamer NBA show Tonight. It's my guy Rio,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: it's your boy Ham. We're in the lab tonight, four games,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: gonna break it all down, and hey, the chat is
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: buzzing about while we were five minutes late. I'll be
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I'll take the l all that. I can't tell you
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: where I was or what I was doing, but I
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: was late. Rio was here on time with us. Some
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: good stuff you got going on in the chat? Rio,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: how's your week been? What's been going on? My man?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: You had a close with the other night, I think
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: in the NFL streets if I'm not mistaken. But how's
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: your week?
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Ben?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'k's been all right. I had been pretty sick
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: this whole week, so I'm actually kind of glad that
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: the schedule lined up the way that it did, because
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I probably would have had to call out on Tuesday
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: and Wednesday. But feeling much better today. Just recently got
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: my voice back last night, so I'm happy about that.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Feeling a lot better, ready to talk some hoops. I
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: wish that tonight's game was the eleven gamer and not
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: a four game slate, but either way still money to
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: be made. I feel like the everything's been pretty good
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: this week in terms of content between NBA and NFL.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: We've had a lot of winners. Our guy Wardo took
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: down some tournaments last night in the NFL, shout out
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: to him, and then have been a pretty profitable week
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: for a lot of members in NBA as well. So
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: overall good week minus being sick.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Well, we got the Hebrew flu game tonight. You don't
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: want to get Hebrew the flu. Have them coming back
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: in a four gamer. Just take all the money we've
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: been rocking and rolling over here at the Nation. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: got Tambo so close to nearly third time. Is not
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a charm for Tambo getting third again in the Milly
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: A shout out to him. If you aren't a member
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: over here at the Nation, hey come join us. What
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: is it nine dollars for one day or five dollars
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: for nineteen days? Use the code ship nineteen. The best
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: day to join was yesterday, The next best day is today.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Love to have you over here to get all our
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: insight as we go about it each and every day,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: whether it's NBA NFL, my guy big needs in the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: NHL streets, Rio and I'm not Rio title and Marley
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in the MMA streets. But yeah, some good stuff over here.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Jordan Dowings, what's going on, my man? How you doing?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: We're gonna break this one down. We got four games,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: may go a little bit more in depth. We got
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the Stone over here looking good. We got the heat
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: out the Celtics tonights, which should be, you know, pretty
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: good real life games. Still no Tyler hero playing this one.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: He's gonna be missing tonight. And then a couple of
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the guys that are few tags, but all the big
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: boys are gonna be in. Jalen Bam, d White, Norman Pal,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be in. So talk to me
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: a little bit about this game. Miami at Boston.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Back to back for Miami. So waiting on some injury
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: tags on Andrew Wiggins, but otherwise they are pretty fully healthy.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: But they they were running out a pretty tight rotation
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: last night, basically eight and a half guys they mixed
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: in their first round pick. I'm not even gonna try
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: to say his name. I actually love to hear you
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: try to pronounce that guy's name. But they got him
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: mixed in for a rotation in the first half and
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: then tighten things up in the second half as the
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: nets were able to hang around. But yeah, it should
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: be a pretty good spot for the Boston offense here.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I think that the ways that they play offense and
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the way that Miami leans defensively could really work in
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Boston's favor. I think this will be a spot where
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: we ladder up some three point shooters in this game,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: which will be a fun sweat later on tonight. Miami
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: continues to be a team, it just gives up a
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: ton of three point volumes opposing teams their bottom six
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: in three point frequency defensively and offensively, Boston is top
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: two in the league in three point frequency, so there's
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: a clear path for them to put up a good
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: amount of points here. For Miami. Offensively, they're kind of
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: just going to run things the way they normally do.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: There's not a ton of holes in the Boston defense.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Their transition defense has been really good. That's kind of
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: an area of Miami has been trying to do more
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: of this year. And then the rim defense has been
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: trending up for Boston as of late, but over the
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: last two weeks, they have been struggling a little bit.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: They've been involved in some pretty high scoring games. So
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: they're bottom seven in or sorry, bottom eight in points
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: per possession over the last two weeks, giving up a
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: little bit more threes as of late. And then they
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: are also a really bad rebounding team bottom two and
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: rebounding this season. So pretty decent spot for some of
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the bigs on the Miami side that we'll touch on,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: but I think Norman pal is in a pretty good
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: spot here. Did have a injury tag last night but
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: ended up playing through it with a CAF issue, which
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: is always little bit worrisome. There's a ton of calf
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: streams going on in the NBA right now. Obviously Wenby's
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: one of the main guys that's had it, but I mean,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you got you know what it leads into is always
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: some achilles worry there. But norm should be fine here,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: and he's probably the main offensive piece on the Miami
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: side that has a decent matchup, so he does see
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit of an usage bump with here off
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the court of the season one point one to four
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: fantasy points per minute. I think he's solid. I'm kind
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: of liking the bigs here a little bit more though,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: just for the main reason that the rebounding stuff for
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Boston has been pretty bad, and not surprisingly Bamba second
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: on the team and fantasy points per minute and usage
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: in the non hero minutes, but I do lean the
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Khloe wear here. Assuming that he's starting. I actually think
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: he'd be fine off the bench too, because he's gonna
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: see decent minutes regardless. But he's the best point per
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: minuted producer in the non hero minutes one point two
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: six Fantasy points per minute. Really good match up for
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: him as a guy that can stretch the floor A
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: little bit more positive coach speak from Spultra allowing him
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: to was over Bam last game. A lot of that
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: was due to Bam getting into fall trol, but I
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: think he picked up his fifth voul early in the
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: fourth and then where was playing well, so they just
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: ran with him. But I still think him starting alongside
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Bam takes away enough from BAM's upside at the price
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: tag for him to be viable. I'd rather just spin
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: down for Collette, where as he's sub five K right now,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: So he's my favorite option on Miami tonight, and I
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: think daveon is fine, but there's a little bit of
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: a push and pull between him and Drew Smith. They
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: rarely overlap, so I would negatively correlate those two guys.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Probably gonna be a max one of them, and I
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: do lean davey on here. I think that they're gonna
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: need his on ball defense a little bit more for
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: the Pritchard and Derek White matchup, so he looks pretty good,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: and then Hawkes should play starting minutes off the match.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: I probably don't want more than two of Hawkes and
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: probably Wiggins, and where I think that those three guys
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: are pretty negatively correlated. So that's how I'm looking at
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: the Miami stuff. And then obviously if Wiggins were to miss,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: things could tighten up a ton because I don't think
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: they're gonna mix in this Myron Gardner guy. They probably
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: bring Keyshaw Johnson into the mix for a couple minutes,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe five to eight minutes, maybe just
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: one rotation in the first half, but they're probably gonna
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: be running out an eight man rotation. So definitely would
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: be interested in the Miami stuff if Wiggs were to miss,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and then that would also make the matchup a lot
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: better for Jalen Brown on the Boston side, who I
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: think is good regardless because he's just been crushing right
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: now over the last eight games, averaging fifty five and
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: a half DK points, thirty five percent usage rate, twenty
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: eight percent assist percentage, and just under ten percent rebounding rates.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: A really strong role for a guy that's in really
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: good form in a really good matchup, just with the
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: way that Miami gives up a ton of threes, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I don't really worry too much about the single individual
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: matchup against Andrew Wiggins. I think he's good enough regardless
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: and just playing really well right now. So I'm pretty
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: into Jalen Brown tonight. And then that you look at
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Derek White and Pritchard, they both are set up pretty
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: well here. I think White probably has a tougher matchup.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I think Daveon will be on him and then they'll
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: probably leave Norman on Prichard. So matchup wise, I do
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: think that Pritchard is the guy with the better one.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: But Derrek White looks like he's out of the shooting
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: slump that was really plaguing him early on this season,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: coming off of a thirty one point outing shooting just
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: hundred and forty percent from three over the last five
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: or so games, and he's making over four and a
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: half over that stretch. Really good matchup for Derek White,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: so he'd be the guy Ham that we're probably gonna
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: be laddering up tonight. So like his overs in the
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: three point market, I think it's set at three and
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: a half, and then it's really I think for White
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: it's either he's making one or he's making like seven
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: or eights, and I don't know if he's just hitting four.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I feel like if he gets hot, he's going to
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: continue to launch, and if he's cold, he's still going
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: to launch, but he might go like one for ten
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: from three. But I really like the upside for Derek
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: White here and then Cada. I mean, he's playing a
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: ton of minutes right now, a decent point per minuted guy.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I think you really need things to go right in
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: the sense that you're probably gonna need a double double
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: from him because I just don't see him really really
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: being that involved on offense. And if he's getting some ownership,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: which I don't really know what it is right now,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: probably in like the low twenty percent, I think that
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: he's fine there, But if it starts to get up
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: into like the thirty percent range, I'd probably look to
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: get away from it, just because he doesn't really have
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: a role offensively, and I just think that where is
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: a much better permanent guy, so I'd rather go there.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I think the back of the rotation is just getting
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: really messy, Like Jordan Walsh was playing great for a
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: stretch of games and then saw his minutes crater just
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: because he had a you know, one bad game. And
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: that's always kind of the case with with Joe Miszoula.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: If you're not playing well, you're gonna get bench progressive
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: how well you've done in the previous game. So I
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: would be a little a little worried about any of
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: the back in rotation guys. But do we know that
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: there's a really good upside in Jordan Walsh. I think
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: that he's pretty fine to take shots on.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Excellent stuff there. I got a couple couple of things
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: you were talking about Pritchard the three three and a half.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: You're liking that, that's what you said, right, And I
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: know Derek White, they're both three and a half, But
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I think you're talk abou Pritchard.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: First, No, no, Derek White.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Derek quite Okay, I thought youre talking about Preacher before him.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: So you like White over Pritcher tonight.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have it ranked as Brown White and then
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Pritchard basically how it's priced.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, good stuff there. Second thing is you
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: you mentioned my boy Wardo taking it down last night,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: and hey, if you're not a member at the Nation,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Wardo is gonna give away a fifty dollars single entry
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: paying it for. We certainly appreciate that Wardo, appreciate you
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: doing that last night in the NFL chat. It's a
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: little different than this. And then and then my guy
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Ricky Rose won eleven hund oh last week. That's nice.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that was. Uh, I don't know if that was
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: DFS or if that was from the bets that.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Really I think that was. I think that was last night. Okay, yeah,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: all right last night. Yeah, last week was a really
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: big game, a really big week for us in the
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: betting streets. For sure.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Betting streets were awesome. We needed that Memphis. Uh, we
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: both did a Memphis Utah to go to go to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: ot they didn't. I was I was heartbreak hote that
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Laurie had three threes in the first half and proceeded
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: in the game with three threes and then that Jabbroni
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: nim hard as well. But hey, that's that's that's why
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: we do it. Yeah, you know, good job Ricky and Wardo.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Enough of that, Let's move on to the next game.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Should be a decent little game Nicks coming off their championship.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: If you will hang that banner. Seventy six ers without
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Joel Joel MBI, I think that's the big news in
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: this game tonight. Uh, maybe what I saw it on
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: next the other day that Brunton is questionable tonight with
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: a sore rear end after after taking the in the
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: rear end. But but yeah, no, mb tonight, Kat and
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: heart are questionable. But other than that, I'll stop making
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: bad jokes. Rio break this one down for me. Seventy
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: six ers at the Knicks.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so the Knicks are fully healthy tonight, which is
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: a little bit prizing and kind of figured that. I mean,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: they have a really tough schedule in not the sense
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: of like the matchups are tough, but just like the
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: way that the NBA scheduled them. You had a ton
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: of games with the NBA Cup. They had to back
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: to back tonight had to travel as well as they
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: played in Indiana last night, and then they don't have
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: more than one day off in between games for the
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: rest of the month and I think maybe even into January,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: so a really tough spot. I think they'll look to
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: give some guys the night off in some of these matchups.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I kind of figured it would be tonight, but looks
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: like that's not the case. Everybody that's probable is in.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: So with that being said, I think that the Nick
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: side is kind of closer to a not a cross offs.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I do think that the matchup's really good. Philly's not
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: a good defense, especially I actually think they're better with
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Mbid off the court. But regardless, it's not like Drummond
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: as a great defender by any means. But all these
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: guys are at least all the secondary guys like the Bridges,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Og and Hard are all priced up, and then Runs
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: is up there. But Kat did see a decrease. I
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: would have liked Kat regardless at like nine point five K.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: The one thing that I am worried about is he
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: did get dinged up in the NBA Cup game. Maybe
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: he's fine, It looked like it was a hamstring thing,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: but I think it's a knee issue. Yeah, left these
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: soreness so should be okay. I think that he's probably
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: my favorite option because the price is really good and
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: the matchup's really good. I love to attack these types
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: of defenders that are playing against Kat, just these prototypical
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: big men that I don't think really have the chance
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: to stay in front of him. So Kat gonna be
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: my favorite option. And then I think everybody else is
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: kind of fine, Like I don't really want more than
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: two of these starters, and then you're kind of asking
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: for a lot from any of the bench guys. Maybe
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: play Mitch rob away from Cats because he's really good reboundary,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: can put up a ton of points in small minutes.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Maybe Kat reinjures his knee or just is limited and
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: they get Mitch Robbed at twenty two and Kat's at
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: like twenty eight or something like that. Yeah, I think
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Kat is the guy that I'm looking to on the
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Knick side. The Philly side does get a little interesting
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: because I was kind of expecting more ownership going to
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: some of these guys, but pretty much everybody besides Paul
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: George I think looks under owned for the potential upside here.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: The Knicks have been playing really good defensively, but they
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: do have some areas of concern. They are allowing the
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: second highest three point frequency in the league this season,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: but they've done a really good job taking away the
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: room scoring. They are a pretty solid pick and roll
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: defense as well, so that's kind of a negative for
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: the matchup for tygree'se Maxi, but it's still Maxi without embiid.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Sub ten k is a really good spot. Sub ten
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: percent ownership looks really good, so I like him a
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: good bit here. I'm hoping that the ownership holds because
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: I think that he'd be pretty solid there. But I
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: do get pretty interested in these secondary guys. I still
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: like Paul George even in a tough matchup against OG
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: just the on off numbers for him with him beat
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: off the court are really strong. I think he's actually
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: has like a similar point Fantasy port minute rate to
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Tyres Maxie. I think he's like one point twenty seven
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: to Tyres max. He's one point three ish, so that's
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: really good for somebody price sub seven k even in
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: a tough matchup, so I think he has a ton
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: of upside here coming off of a couple of really
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: strong outings. The minutes have been pretty strong as well,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: So I like Paul George a good bit, and then
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Grimes and Edgecombe are I think pretty solid values. Graham
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: should come off the bench, probably playing upper thirties minutes,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: but Edgecomb is the guy that I really have a
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: lot of interest in. He should play a lot of minutes.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: For the Jalen Brunson matchup. I think he'll be the
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: primary defender on Brunson, so a little bit of flower risk,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: but if he can avoid the foul risk, I think
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: he does have thirty seven to thirty eight minute upside
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: and he's just over one fantasy point per minute, so
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: really good for somebody at six point four K. He's
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: my favorite option, potentially one of the best value plays
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: on the slate in my eyes. And then Drummond, I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: don't we kind of know what to expect from him.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: He's going to play upper twenties minutes and is averaging
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: just under thirty d K points with him beat out
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: the season in fourteen games. The matchup does bring foul
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: risks for him as well, gonna be defending Kat and
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: he's also probably the fourth or fifth option on offense.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Not really too excited there, but I do like Paul
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Georgia Edge coming to Maxie a good bit here on
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: the sixer side.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was taking some notes as you were talking.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I think this is gonna be a good one. So
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: you mentioned something, Mitch rob Do you think he's gonna
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: get to twenty two minutes?
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: No? No, I just think that there is a there's
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: an outside shot of that with the cat injury stuff,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: and then maybe some foul risk as well, because Kat
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: does foul a time.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, excellent breakdown there. On to the next game.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: We got the runners up in the Cup. We got
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the Spurs taking on the Hawks in Atlanta. Trey Young
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: played last night, played I think twenty minutes last night.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: He's gonna sit out tonight, but you're gonna have mister
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: triple double himself. Jalen Johnson. He's at ten k so
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: interested to see what you think about that. And then
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Wemby all the way up at ten to seven.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: He played last night as well, didn't play very long,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: but interested to hear your take on Wemby and what
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: they're gonna do with him.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: In the second game of him back.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: To back and he still put up impressive numbers. I mean,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: not for ten to seven, but you know, if he
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: gets his full minutes, he's gonna crush. But talk to
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: me a little bit about this game Spurs at the Hawks.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be a while before Wemby gets anywhere near
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: full minutes. I think they're really just I don't know,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: easing him back in is putting it lightly because he's
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: not even playing the first quarter in most games. So
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I just don't see how you can play him at
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: all until we get some more clarity on what the
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: minutes will be on a nightly basis, because even I mean,
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: they said he'd be under minutes limit, but he played
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: twenty five against the next twenty one against Okay, see,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: so this was the least he played. They weren't They
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: didn't really need him obviously because they won that game
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: pretty handedly. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Was at two point
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: twenty six fantasy points per minute last game. Just an
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: insane output in limited minutes. So still playing well, still
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: making an impact on both ends of the court, but
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: not gonna be a guy that you'll need, especially at
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: this price tag for the time being. But yeah, with
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Trey out, that definitely makes the Atlanta side very good.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: And I also think that the Spurs are in a
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: really good spot here. Atlanta has been struggling defensively over
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: the last few weeks. I think a lot of that,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: you know, due to them just being involved in a
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: lot of high scoring games, but also not having Kristofsperzingis
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: out there and then just asking a lot of your
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: main notation guys, is gonna make your defense suffer a
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: little bit. But they are bottom three and points per
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: one points per one hundred possessions defensively over the last
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: two weeks and bottom six in room defense this month
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: and giving up a good amount of three point volume.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: So really good spot for these Spurs guys. I have
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of interest in basically everybody, and not everybody
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: but the Fox, Castle, Visel, and Harper grouping. They have
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: been running out that small ball line up a little
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: bit more as of late, so that's pretty encouraging. But
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I do think that all four of those guys are
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: in a pretty good spot here. I think Castle is
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: the best option of the bunch at seven point four K.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I think that his minutes are slightly underprojected because you
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: look at a couple of places that will be anywhere
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: from like thirty to thirty two. I honestly think in
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: a close game he's getting thirty four to thirty five,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: and that's really good for a guy that has shown
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: really good usage stats while playing alongside Darren Fox, while
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: playing alongside Dylan Harper, I think that he's really the
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: kind of the point guard now for this team. So
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I like Castle the most. I'm kind of off of Fox.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be guarded by Dyson Daniels, which
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: is a tougher matchup. He's just hasn't really done it
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: like at all as of late. You really need one
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: of these guys to be out and with a fully
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: healthy team losing touches to guys like Castle and Dylan Harper,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: and then with wemb out there kind of have to
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: share usage with him, just kind of makes it pretty
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: easy to get away from Darren Fox. But Vassell and
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Harper are pretty solid value plays at their respective price. Taggs,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's obviously Harper the guy that is the
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: second best option on the Spurs, though he's been playing
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: really well running. It's the form the endurance is coming
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: back a little bit thirty two plus DK points in
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: three of his last five games, which is really good
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: for somebody price sub five K. So yeah, him and
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Castle are the two guys that I'm prioritizing on the
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Spurs side. Then I'll get sprinkles of Fox because there
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: is a little bit of upside as the price continues
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: to come down. But I do have Vassel ahead of
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Darren Fox, and then I don't think that I really
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: want to mess with the secondary guys. I think you
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: could get a strong outing from one of Barnes, Keldon
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: or Champagnee. I don't really know who it's going to be.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I would definitely be a max one of those guys
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: and then leave them in my player pool, but I'm
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: not really confident in any one of them, in particular
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: on the Atlanta side. Jalen Johnson obviously a great play
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: birthday last night, put up a huge game triple double
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: and four of his last five games, and obviously the
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: stats back it up that he can do that in
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: any matchup one point five to two Fantasy points for
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: a minute, thirty eight and a half percent assist percentage
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: and seventeen percent rebounding rate with Porzingis and Trey Young
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: off the court, so he's a really really solid spend
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: up option. I think that the matchup does get a
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: little bit tougher with Wemby down low, but if he's
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: still limited to upper teams minutes, then there's gonna be
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: plenty of minutes for Jen Johnson not overlapping with Wemby,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: which I think is a really good thing for him.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: So I like Jim Johnson a lot tonight, and then
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: a cong Wu is capable of playing a ton of minutes,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: so that kind of keeps him in play. But he's
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: gonna really need to knock down his three pointers because
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure how much ceiling there is for him
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: when he's not hitting threes, and I don't know, the
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: rebounding stuff hasn't been great, So yeah, you're really gonna
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: need a solid scoring performance from him, which he definitely
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: can do. I do think that Dyson and naw are
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: a little bit better than a Congu, though, and I
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: think that I'll Dyson a little bit more. I think
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: that the role is a little bit more predictable for Dyson.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: He said, basically second in touchdown behind Jalen Johnson. The
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: potential assists definitely increased with Trey Young off the court,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: so I think that he's a little bit better than
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: ANYW tonight. I also think that the matchup is better
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: for Dyson. He should see Darren Fox. I think it'll
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: be Castle on Alexander Walker, and also with ANYW, like,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: you're gonna need efficient scoring for him because he doesn't
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: do enough of the other things most nights for him
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: to really pop off in a big way, Whereas Dyson
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: has rebounding upside, a couple of double doubles in the
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: game the games before Trey Young returned, and also the
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: scoring is kind of ticked up a little bit as well,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: twenty seven and eighteen points in his last two games
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: before last night's game. So I like Dyson more than
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Nikkei Alexander tonight. Probably instead of being Max one of
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: those guys, I think it's probably makes more to be
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Max two of Jalen Dyson and Nika Alexander Walker tonight.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: And then I guess the back end guys AG's getting
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: some ownership. He's playing good minutes. Don't play him with rees,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: is what I would say. Yeah, I think that's that
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: covers it. Uh Man Zachary has got to be one
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: of the worst first overall picks since, like Anthony Bennett.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: That's the first thing that came to mind when you
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: said worst. Come on, Anthony Bennett. Came to my mind?
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Is he?
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Uh? And one cam Ward two of the worst
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: number one picks.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Not cam He's got some skill. The team is awful.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: As as a Titans fan of this NBA show, that
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: guy's terrible, but anyway is pretty bad. We got we
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: we got, we got a Dyson Daniels nute game in
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: the chat which you like Dyson Daniels a little bit? Uh,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: nikile Alexander Walker thinking he's freaking Antoine Walker out there
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: just chucking it up every time he touches it.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: I feel like, but.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it should be a good real life game. And yeah,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Jalen John, I did not know it was his birthday
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: last night. But ten k seems like a really good price.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: We'll rolling right through it. Hit that like h that
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: subscribe button for us. We've got one game left. We
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: got the Bulls taking on the Calves. Big news here
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: is Donovan Mitchell has not let us know yet if
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: he's gonna play tonight, but hey, let us know. Donovan
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: if you're gonna play he has an illness. No Evan
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Mobley tonight. He's missed the last couple of games. Everybody
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: in the chat's gonna be asking about Jalen Tyson. I
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: can already feel it. But talk to me a little
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: bit about this game. The Bulls don't play defense taking
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: on the Calves. Calves slated to score one hundred and
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: twenty four points tonight. That might come down a little bit,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I would assume rio if no Donovan, But talk to
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: me a little bit about.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: This game, Bulls. If you're not a fan of.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Billy the Kid, Billy Donovan taking on the Cavaliers.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Who said I wasn't a fan of Billy Donovan.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Well, last week on the show, you said maybe he's
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: not the right fit, maybe he's not the right man
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: for the job. So I just assumed you didn't like him.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: That's all me. I like.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I like Billy Donovan. He used to coach Okay, see
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: when I really started getting into basketball. So and that
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: was kind of I love that, Okay, see team, So
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: I like Donovan.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: But was that with was that with the Big Three?
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Or was that before them?
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: It was realized that Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'm
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: not a fan of Kenny Atkinson right now. I mean
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: this this team, oh deveion downgrade. But yeah, I mean
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: the Cavs gotta be one of the most underwhelming teams
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: in the East. I mean the East is really weak
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: this season, and they have just been pretty much average
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: all year long. Like you could say, you could say
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: all you want about the injuries, but they still have
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: a decent roster top to bottom and somebody that's supposed
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: to be a good coach. I mean, they just haven't
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: made any adjustments. Their team looks really really bad right now.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: So I'm not I'm all the way out on the
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Cleveland stuff right now. I think that Chicago can hang
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: around here, and they've actually been playing a little bit
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: better defensively. They are outside the bottom ten in defensive
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: rating this month. Cleveland is not too far ahead of them.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: They're sixteenth overall defensive defensive rating in Chicago's nineteenth. So yeah,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Cleveland trending down, Chicago kind of trending up. They're also
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: mixing in a lot of bodies right now, Like there's
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: probably eleven guys projected for real minutes, which makes it
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: very tough. So I would keep it pretty simple tonight.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: I don't really think that you want to try to
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: make the Trey Jones and Zach Collins stuff happen again,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: because the likelihood that they hit is probably probably small.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: I would be okay with Zach Collins because I think
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: that the plan moving forward for vouch is probably more
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: like twenty five to twenty six minutes versus thirty. There
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: was like a stretch if you're watching that game, where
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Zach Collins was going to come in, but then Vooch
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: kind of was cooking Jared Allen, so they just let
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: him out there for another like four minutes. So it's
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: I would say it's more likely that Collins ends up
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: at like twenty to Vouch's twenty four to twenty six
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: or something like that, because they are overlapping all three
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: or two of Jalen Smith, Collins, and Vouchs at times.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: So I'm definitely gonna be Max one of I don't
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: think you're playing Jalen Smith, but I will keep Zach
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Collins in my playerpool because he is cheap, and I'll
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: be Max one of those two guys Voochs and Collins.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's kind of clearly just Giddy and Kobe
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: White as the two main guys you're looking at. I
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: also think that Giddy, both these guys are pretty solid
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: for their prices. They're the two guys that we know
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: are going to see anywhere from like thirty to thirty
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: four minutes. I think that Giddy is obviously the guy
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: that probably is playing thirty four. Kobe's probably cap to
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: like thirty two. But this Cavs seemed really struggling defensively.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Over the last seven games. The Cavs are allowing the
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: third most Fantasy points to opposing point guards, which makes
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Giddy a really strong option coming off of another triple
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: double sixty five DK points. I don't really understand why
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: the ownership is so low because I think that he's
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: really a strong option when the price is at nine
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: point one k septeen percent ownership. So I like Giddy
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: a good bit, and the same thing for Kobe White,
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: like he's going to be aggressive when he's out there.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I saw a lot of Daris Carland last game, so
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: that's always a spot that I'm looking to attack, and
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: he's just gonna be really aggressive in the minutes. So
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: he's on the court, really strong usage numbers hasn't really
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: impacted him too much. With all the guys that are
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: running out there, I think that he's close to full tonight.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: So those two guys are the guys I'm looking at.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: I'd be okay gettingway from food because I just don't
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: really think that he's playing thirty plus most nights anymore.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I think they want to get a lot of bodies
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: on the court to kind of save energy, so makes
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: it a really tough spot for DFS. But I do
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: like those two guards. And then the Cleveland stuff. Obviously,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: if Donod Mitchell does not let us know probably in
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: the next thirty minutes to an hour, then we could
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: expect him to be out and then this this will
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: be a spot that you're going to have to get into.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: But I'll talk about this stuff for Donald Mitchell in
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: if he's in. He's a good option. Nine point Ak
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: played fine last game, but there was some times where
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: he looked really, really tired, and I just it reminds
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: me so much like this. This Cleveland team is basically
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: the Jazz when they were kind of towards the end
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: of their I don't know whatever you want to call it,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: with like the Rudy Gobert and Joe Ingles bogged on stuff.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: It looks like a very very similar team, and there
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: was just times where Donald Mitchell had to put the
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: team on his back offense, so because nobody else was
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: helping him out. That is honestly what it looks like now.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: He looks so tired at times throughout the game. About
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: that being said, they're going to have to lean into
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: him a ton if they want any chance to win,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: because he is really the only guy that's doing anything
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: on offense. Darris Garland has yet to put together a
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: full game. He's shooting the ball a lot better, the
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: shots starting to fall a little bit. Three made threes
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: in each of his last two games, but then really
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: cooled off in the second half. A lot of the
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: same for Jared Allen. They're not really looking to get
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: the ball inside anymore, which should be something you look
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: to do against the Chicago team that has no rim protection.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: So Donald Mitchell, good play. If he's in. I think
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: all those guys, the Garland and Jared Allen are fine
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: if he is in or out. But if he's out, obviously,
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: I think that Garland becomes kind of unavoidable. Same for
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Jalen Tyson, he is. I think he's good regardless because
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: he's one of the best players right now, which is
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: funny to say, but with Donald Mitchell and Mobile off
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: the cord, he's at one point one to four Fantasy
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: points for a minute. Should play thirty three thirty four minutes.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Good matchup for wings. Chicago doesn't really have great wing protection,
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: so I think that Tyson is pretty good regardless, and
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: then i'd go back to Jared Allen. I think that
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: they need to get his minutes up there a little
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: bit more. Only played twenty three and twenty eight in
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: his first two games back from injury, was honestly really
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: good in the second first half last game. I was
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: expecting him to go for like forty five to fifty
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: but then cooled off. Yeah, I think they need to
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: get him up there because this defense is really bad
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: right now and he's their best option. I don't really
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: think that you're gonna win many games playing Thomas Bryant
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: eighteen minutes, So I like Jared Allen a good bit.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: And then if Donald Mitchell's out, you have to have
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: considerations for guys like DeAndre Hunter. Lonzo Ball not so
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: much Dean Wade. I don't really think that you need
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: his defense in this matchup. But then also Tyre's Proctor
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: is more so tied to if both Donovan and Craig
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Porter Junior miss because Porter Junior is also questionable with
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: an illness, so it could be something within the building.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: And if those two guys miss, they're pretty thin at
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: the guard position. I would set a max one role
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: between Proctor and Lonzo Balks. I think that if either
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: one pulls away, it's coming from the the other the
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: other person's minutes, and I honestly feel like they might
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: just want to get a longer look at Proctor. There
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: was some positive coach speak about him leading into the
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: last game, thought he would be in the rotation, but
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: he wasn't really And then Lonzo has just been playing
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: really really bad right now, So I wouldn't be surprised
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: if they just kind of flip things and let Proctor
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: play like twenty six twenty eight and Lonzo plays like
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: twenty But yeah, I think that covers it for the
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Cleveland stuff.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a phenomenal breakdown here. Did you mention Bozells, No,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: it's just.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: They're not really doing anything in particular, they're just running
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: a deeper rotation. There hasn't been anything like they got
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: hurt Her back. Jalen Smith is back, they're trying to
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: turn him into a four. They're going to play a
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: kora with Patrick Williams. So they're just kind of kind
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: of deep right now with their rotation. Whereas earlier this season,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: when guys like Io and Collins and Jalen Smith were
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: missing a handful of games, it was easier for Bozills
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: to get up into the thirties.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: All right, we got some time. Do you mind if
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: we go back to this Miami game real quick? I
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: saw you got the alert, but Davion downgraded. Let's assume
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Davion is out. What does that do for the heat
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: and it conversely, Davion's probably one of their better defenders.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: What does that do for anybody on the other side?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Is that? Do you like Derek White even more? Now?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Do you like Richard Moore talks to us a little
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: bit about that If you don't mind.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would think that they probably go to Drew
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Smith as the starter because they were basically subbing in
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: and out for each other. So I think that it's
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: a pretty clear just slot Smith, and then I would
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: obviously I think make Haimi Hawk has a lot better
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: because he would essentially be there second to third, next
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: best on ball option. I'm gonna look at some of
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: the on off stuff with Davey on, but I feel
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: like it would probably be Hi May that sees the
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: biggest boost because Davion does do a lot of the
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: handling for the heat. Give me one second here.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Not your boy casper as Jack huyoshis.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: There you go. I think somebody spelled it out in
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Chad and I've ensured.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jason Turner did Jason at number seven on Rosemary Parmer.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: John hit a little bit different today, My boy, that
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: stuff was good stuff.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Let me see here. But yeah, that would like you said,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: they would make Derek White's matchup a bit softer. Drew
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Smith is a pretty solid defender though, so not a
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: It's definitely drop off, but not a massive drop off. Yeah.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: So it looks like like Cloe Ware is the guy
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: that sees the biggest booze from his uh. That seems
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: like a permute perspective. Yeah, I think I think a
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: lot of that is largely due to him probably being well,
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: there's eighty eight minute samples. I'm not sure how much
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: that came with BAM, but the usage does come up
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Rebounding rates are really strong for him,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: and the block percentage is really where it's coming from.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: He is a nearly seven percent block percentage. It's really high.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's Haimi Hawks is a guy that does
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: see a boost to his assist numbers, so that would
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: and then also BAM would see a little bit more
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: ball handling Norm Powell as well. So yeah, it's kind
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: of kind of what we would expect. But yeah, that's
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: kind of what I would I would say, I think
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: it's Drew Smith that would be starting, and then he'd
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: be the best value playing the slate by a pretty
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: wide margin, because jumping up from twenty two minutes projected
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: to like thirty probably would be a really tough spot
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: to avoid.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, good stuff. Question for you. More like
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: to get a triple double Jalen Johnson versus Joshua Gidey.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, Jalen for sure, Jalen.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll hoping you'd say both, but you said Jalen,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: so we gotta go with Jalen. So that'll do it
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: for the folks. We appreciate everyone tuning in. Good luck tonight.
