So no better time to join then. Now MLB right around the corner,
1:53
we got you covered there. How much I'll kick it to you broad
1:56
Slate overview. Obviously we got eight games on the docket, some pretty big
1:59
toe right, Okay, see you up over two thirty, Indy, Golden
2:02
State up over to forty. Got a couple to twenty totals in there too,
2:07
mixed in and then obviously a couple of low totals there. But any
2:10
broad Slate overview for you off the top here for the people. Yeah,
2:15
Now, I think this slate's gonna be an interesting slate, right. You
2:17
got some big names that are out that have been out and remain out.
2:22
Embiid, Donovan, Mitchell, Brandon, Ingram is gonna miss a few games,
2:27
Memphis is not playing anybody. I feel like they got a lot of
2:30
people missing. Detroit has a lot of people missing. Toronto has a lot
2:35
of people missing. We're in the dog days of this NBA season, but
2:38
there's gonna be some value there where, and I think there's gonna be value
2:40
there where you can gym in two, possibly three studs to get there.
2:45
So looking forward to to talking about that and seeing where we can get some
2:49
value. Yeah, no, absolutely, a lot of this value seems to
2:53
be coming from the Toronto side, which is the first game we're going to
2:55
talk about here. In terms of this game, obviously massive in this one,
3:00
right, two thirty two total, but also a big spread, right,
3:02
okay, see fifteen point spread, fifteen point favorites here even on the
3:07
road. In terms of injury news in this one, okay, see Toronto.
3:10
RJ. Barrett remains out right, Carton remains out for Toronto, which
3:15
isn't big news. Johntay Porter does return, which is an interesting talking point
3:19
right for to one expected to start at center here, expect him to get
3:23
a heavy ownership at his price point here, Emmanuel Quickly is out and then
3:27
Gary Trent is also questionable in this game. So if Gary Trent were also
3:30
the miss in this one, I mean I don't see questionable take on him
3:35
right now on the solver, but looking at basketball Monster, he is questionable
3:38
here. Talk about this one because obviously big total, big spread got Chet
3:43
Holgrem at seventy four hundred looking like a pretty good value. Got obviously Johntay
3:46
Porter here at four to one, expected to uh to get a not start,
3:52
but expected to get a lot of run here in terms of his minutes.
3:55
And then obviously Jordan Laura is another nice value play too. Talk about
4:00
this one. Yeah, game should be an interesting, interesting matchup for sure.
4:04
Let's talk a little bit about the ok C side. My favorite,
4:09
my favorite thunder just based thunder piece based off price, is gonna be Chet
4:14
homegrin seventy four hundred dollars center position going up against this Raptors team that has
4:18
been bad all season, protecting the rim bottom ten in the NBA. On
4:23
top of the fact that their main center is gonna miss again Scott No Scottie
4:29
Barnes down there as well. So I really think Chet can get going in
4:31
this matchup. He would be my favorite thunder piece. I mean, Sga
4:36
is always in play, you know, going, you know, going back
4:40
to Canada. I don't know if he's from Toronto or somewhere in Canada,
4:43
but he's a great play every single night. And I think this I think
4:46
he's got much more reason to play good tonight as well at ten to five.
4:49
I don't hate that price on him. No really value in my opinion.
4:54
On the ok C side, it's it's gonna be Chet, It's gonna
4:57
be sg A potentially Jayalen Williams for me. And then let's i'll talk a
5:00
little bit about these Toronto pieces that you alluded to. I have interest in
5:04
Nowara at forty two hundred power forward eligible. I also have interested Kelly Olynic
5:09
power forward and center eligible. But my favorite piece is gonna be Grady Dick.
5:15
He's shooting guard and small forward eligibility forty eight hundred dollars. I like
5:19
this price tag. I like the dual eligibility. I like the fact that
5:23
he's gonna play thirty plus minutes. It's really been him and a Baja that
5:27
have been getting thirty plus minutes the last couple of games. A young player,
5:30
I think he can do a lot of different things. It's gonna be
5:32
Dick for me. It's gonna be a Baj as well to pair with,
5:36
you know, at Chet Holmern and or an SGA. Yeah. No,
5:41
excellent breakdown here. I'm a little bit under on olynic Here. I don't
5:46
really like the spot a tongue for olynic I mean centers have had pretty good
5:50
games against okac Here, but I mean olynic Man gonna be Chalky sixty six
5:56
hundred. I just don't like it. To be honest, I'm gonna be
5:59
under on him. I think I like Gary Trent a little bit more catch
6:01
and shoot. Guys do pretty good against this OKAYC team. Gary Trent sixty
6:04
two hundred should be able to to get his right. He's been playing pretty
6:11
good basketball right now. Seems to be pretty low owned. It's gonna be
6:15
tough for Toronto to keep this game close. But one thing I know is
6:18
Gary Trent's gonna chuck the basketball. Take fifteen to twenty shots, double digit
6:23
a three point attempts, and if by any means this game does stay close,
6:27
it's got to be on the back of you would think Gary Trent hitting
6:30
his shots. Don't mind the Grady Dick call. I think that's an all
6:33
right call there. And then my favorite, one of my favorite players on
6:36
the slate is chat holmgrin here. I mean, this guy should absolutely murder
6:42
this Toronto team in the inside right. I think chat Way two hundred priced
6:46
here seventy four hundred. I mean, coming off a massive game against Utah
6:50
now gets another pretty cake match up here seventy four hundred, and I'm seeing
6:55
pretty low ownership. I mean, his ownership at least held in check,
6:58
likely due to the spread in this but I mean, I think this is
7:00
a smash spot for chet Holgrid love him, and then I think Nora is
7:04
also a fine value play. But man, I want to if I'm playing
7:09
these these Toronto pieces, I think I want to play the guys that are
7:14
pretty safe in terms of a blowout and if this game does go to what
7:18
the spread indicates, right, what Vegas indicates here fifteen point spread in this
7:23
one, I still think carry Trent's fine as a starter there as one of
7:28
the main pieces. But outside of that, I mean, I really don't
7:30
want to mess with any of these guys. I don't think I'm gonna get
7:31
to a Joon day Porter, But again, he's fine, I think as
7:35
a pivot off of Kelly Olynyk there for cheaper. So overall, my top
7:42
play in this game, one of my favorite plays on the entire slate.
7:45
Chat Holme gred in this one. Let's jump to the next game here,
7:49
Boston and Detroit. In terms of this one, another big spread here two
7:54
twenty three total. Boston again thirteen point favorites on the road, another road
7:59
favorite here into Detroit. Injury news in this one, Drew Holliday remains out
8:03
for Boston. Porzingis, Horford and Haytum are all questionable, along with Jalen
8:07
Brown. At least That's what I'm seeing on Basketball Monster here. In terms
8:15
of out on the Detroit side, Fontechio is out. Derek White's back for
8:20
Boston as well. Outside of that, really not a ton of injury news
8:24
in this one. Outside of that, I mean, pretty girls game here.
8:28
It's hard to hard you uh to see Detroit keeping this game close.
8:31
But if they do, maybe it's on the back of Kate Cunningham here.
8:35
Not the greatest matchup, but Gade always has a ceiling talk about this one
8:39
in terms of dfs Boston Detroit. Yeah, this one, this one's gross.
8:46
As you alluded to, I don't I don't see how Detroit is gonna
8:48
keep it closed. You know that they've got Fontechio out, they got Isaiah
8:52
Stewart out there, and they're they're not a very good basketball team. To
8:54
begin with a two for Kate Cunningham's an easy pass for me, just based
8:58
on the match up that we have. I know there's no Drew Holiday tonight
9:03
for the Celtics, but I still think they can limit him. My favorite,
9:07
my favorite Piston, if I was gonna go, there would be Jade
9:11
and Ivy point guard, shooting guard eligible sixty six hundred dollars and that's still
9:16
a decent little price tag you got there. But you know, he's coming
9:20
off a thirty six point performance Draft Kings points performances last time out against this
9:24
Boston team, shot at nineteen times, can get some peripherals as well,
9:28
you know, rebounds, assist blocks, So don't mind, I don't mind.
9:33
Jade and Ivy would probably be the one and only Piston that I would
9:35
play. And then for me on the other side, it's gonna be Jason
9:39
Tatum. Jason Tatum ninety nine hundred dollars. He is expensive tonight, but
9:43
as long as this game stays close, he's gonna you know, he's gonna
9:46
put up you know, fifty sixty DraftKings points, I think is his floor,
9:52
plus a great ceiling as well. So I don't mind Tatum, and
9:54
then it's tough to tough to pick those other Celtics. Interested to hear your
9:56
take on that, but it's gonna be Tatum for me and then Avy on
10:00
Ivy on the other side. Yeah, I don't want to mess with any
10:03
of these Pistons's just a a brutal matchup for these Pistons. Spread everything.
10:07
Pretty much everyone on the Celtics has a good matchup here. The starting five
10:11
is gonna have a really good match up here against this Detroit team here.
10:15
But again, I mean from a DFS perspective, I just don't have a
10:18
ton of interest obviously, unless one of these some of these guys sit.
10:22
I'm not seeing any questionable takes right now on the Solver. I'm not sure
10:24
if Solver hasn't been updated or what, but on Basketball Monster, I am
10:28
seeing a couple of these guys questionable. If one of these guys sit,
10:33
it makes it a little different to play some of these guys against Detroit.
10:35
But with them all fully healthy, with the spread, with the other games
10:39
on the slate, I don't love a lot in this game, to be
10:41
honest. You can't play every game. I get it. It's still two
10:45
twenty three total. Majority of that obviously on the Boston side, But it's
10:50
hard for me. I mean, I think Jalen Brown would be fine.
10:52
Jason Tatum has a really good matchup. He's likely going to go matchup against
10:56
toss On, however, you pronounced his last name, and I mean that
11:01
should be a pretty brutal, brutal match up here for Tosn to guard Tatum
11:07
there. But outside of that, I mean, just not a ton of
11:11
interest in this one. Jalen Brown probably my favorite play in this game.
11:15
And then if any of these guys sit, obviously a lot of these guys
11:18
become much better plays. Some of the next game here we have Memphis San
11:24
Antonio. Those are the first two games locking at six pm. These next
11:28
three games we're gonna talk about all lock an hour after that. Obviously,
11:31
there is late swap today. They're not doing the no late swap thing like
11:35
they did the last two Fridays, So that's one thing that has changed today.
11:39
But in this one, Memphis San Antonio to seventeen total, San Antonio
11:45
six point favorites. Here injury news in this one, let me pull it
11:52
up. Desmond Bane doubtful in this one, Clark remains out for Memphis.
11:54
Luke Canard remains out for Memphis. Jared Jackson Junior is back from Memphis,
11:58
so they get him back. Conchard, La Ravia, and Pippin are all
12:03
questionable for Memphis. Obviously, Smart remains out as well for Memphis. Vince
12:07
Williams also doubtful here on the Spurs side, basically fully healthy here. I
12:13
think this game gets a decent amount of ownership from DFS perspectives, right,
12:16
Guys like Victor Wambayama, Gregor Gigi Jackson gonna get some ownership. It does
12:22
look like Trey Jones, Devin mcel break this doing down? San Antonio Memphis.
12:26
Where are you going? Obviously Memphis getting a little bit healthier, but
12:30
still pretty shorthanded overall. Memphis, San Antonio. Where you're going here?
12:35
Yeah? I think it really is going to depend on what they end up
12:37
doing with those guys that you alluded to that are questionable. Let's just talk
12:41
about if they're in. Scottie Pippen Junior, who's been out for quite a
12:43
while. He's listed as questionable. Don't mind him at the point guard position.
12:48
Eligibility fifty two dollars. This first team really struggles against the point guards.
12:54
So don't mind Scottie Pippen. If Scottie Pipper were to miss Jiro for
13:00
Memphis, the Houston, the former Houston Cougar, I don't mind him at
13:03
thirty eight hundred, should see some more run. He got twenty minutes of
13:05
the night against the Warriors, so I don't I don't mind that. And
13:09
then John Conchar as well, forty six hundred dollars thirty three minutes the other
13:13
night. They just don't have anybody needs and you know Conchart's going to be
13:18
out there. He was getting a lot of cardio in which obviously we don't
13:20
like to see. I do think he can do a little bit more than
13:22
he was doing the other night. I was watching that game as it was
13:24
on TV, So give me some Conchar. And then probably my favorite play
13:28
of the whole slate, it's going to be Victor wibbin Yama ten to six
13:33
against this Memphis team who cannot guard cannot guard the rim. And we obviously
13:37
have seen what Wimby did or as it has done all season long. He's
13:41
not on the minutes restriction. Should be a should be a somewhat competitive game,
13:46
just based off based off the spread, So give me some Victor wimbm
13:48
Yama. I think he goes off tonight at ten six. He's my favorite
13:52
spend up on this slate against this beat up, beat up Memphis team,
13:56
and Jaren Jackson and Santy won't be able to guard him tonight. Yeah,
14:01
No, excellent breakdown there. I like Devm to sell a little bit at
14:05
seven to three. I think this is a pretty good matchup for him if
14:07
you can't get all the way up to Wemby. I do love Wemby here,
14:11
obviously a great play here, but I also really like chat Hungrim obviously
14:16
for basically three thousand dollars cheaper at the same thirty two hundred dollars cheaper to
14:20
be exact, at the same position. But Wemby obviously great stud great spend
14:26
up here, gets a good matchup. The contraart thing. I'm off Conchar.
14:30
I mean, I'll let you have Conchar give me give me Lo Ravia
14:33
for one hundred dollars more at the same position. Small forward La Ravia is
14:37
gonna play his thirty plus minutes here. He's gonna chuck the basketball. I
14:41
mean, I like the La Ravia quite a bit here. I mean you're
14:46
gonna get ten plus shot attempts from him, You're gonna get five plus three
14:48
point attempts from him. He's forty seven hundred matchups above average here. We
14:54
got him projected for twenty eight minutes right now. I think that's a little
14:56
light. I think he plays more than that seven. I'm easy going to
15:01
La Ravia over Conchar here. Just prefer La Ravia in this spot. I
15:07
get right. I see people talking about Conchard's birthday. I mean, he's
15:11
not blown out any candles tonight against San Antonio here on his birthday. So
15:16
if you want to play him for a little at his birthday narrative, sure
15:20
you can play him forty six hundred. Don't think it's the craziest play,
15:22
but I just like La Ravia more at the same position, So I like
15:24
that. I think Gigi Jackson is a pretty solid play here at sixty two
15:28
hundred as well. He is going to get quite a bit of ownership here,
15:31
but I do think he's still fine, still slid. My favorite plays
15:35
in this game Wassel La Ravia and then Victor and then Gigi. Is kind
15:41
of how I'm looking at that game from a DFS perspective. That's my guy,
15:46
Sean v Man. Don't be don't be ritting on Sean VIA's parade.
15:48
We're going Consart birthday narrative. You're shitting on Conchard news must be it must
15:54
be a Wisconsin thing. I thought he's from Wisconsin. I thought he's one
15:58
of your sons. Is he not? No, I don't I don't know.
16:03
I don't know where these guys go to school. I don't follow it
16:06
all that close. Man, I'm not in the weeds like like like some
16:08
of these people. I just look at numbers and I just watched some of
16:11
the games and just see it. But I mean, if you want to
16:15
Wisconsin, good for him. I'll still take La Ravia straight up for conchar
16:18
I mean, we can throw a lunch bet on it if you want.
16:21
Give me l Ravia over Contart tonight Fantasy points. If you want to throw
16:25
a little lunch bet. It'll be a fun little banter for a Monday show
16:29
there. So give me La Ravio over conchar Let's. Let's address our guy
16:33
Newans here, my fellow Wisconsin I buddy here. Any love for three point
16:38
seven? Me too? In that last game that we talked about for Boston
16:41
Detroit. Obviously he'd get the blowout run two likely at three seven. Did
16:47
get up to twenty two minutes last game. Personally, I don't love it,
16:52
but I mean, big spread, he could get extra run here in
16:56
the fourth quarter. What's your take on him? You can play him at
16:59
power four, so adjust that. Yeah, I was thinking about that.
17:04
I don't think so for me. When they picked this guy up off the
17:07
street last week, they inserted him obviously, like I said earlier, Stewart's
17:11
out for the season. They got tons of injuries. They're not very good.
17:15
They may give him a look, but not for me tonight. I'm
17:18
just not going to med too some now. They picked up off the streets
17:21
last week, more of a wait and see approach for me. Yeah,
17:26
I kind of agree. I think in m me he's fine, but one
17:29
of three teams, five max whatever, single entry stuff, I don't think
17:33
I can get to me too. But hey, if you have a lean
17:36
on me too, new One's obviously your sharp player. Go ahead. I
17:41
mean, he's going to get the blow out run. I would assume if
17:45
the spread goes to what Vegas is indicating here, so could see him get
17:48
mid twenties minutes again, and potentially more obviously depending on what the game looks
17:55
like. But if the game stays close, I don't think he gets a
17:56
ton of minutes, to be honest with you. If for some reason the
18:00
game does stay close, all right, let's jump into the next game here,
18:04
another game locking at eight pm Eastern time. So the New Orleans Pelicans
18:10
here Miami heat two ten total, second lowest total on the entire slate,
18:15
but a close spread here. Pelicans are Miami three point favorites here in this
18:19
one. From an injury standpoint, looking at the injury news here in this
18:25
one, Bam is back, Tyler Herro remains out, Kevin Love remains out
18:30
for Miami. Jolvit's back. Bam is back for Miami, Kelb Martin's also
18:33
probable likely to play as well. Duncan Robinson remains out on Miami and then
18:40
fully healthy on the New Orleans side. Here, Zion's playing out of his
18:44
mind right now. I'm seeing Trey Murphy get a little ownership right now at
18:48
that combo guard shooting guard small forward position. From a DFS perspective, I
18:52
don't love a ton in this game, but maybe you see something I'm not
18:55
looking at here where you're going New Orleans Miami. Yeah. The one thing
19:00
that I would say is is Brandon Ingram is out for the Pelicans. That's
19:03
that's a late addition because he got injured last night. I think he's gonna
19:07
miss two weeks, so he will be out, which that's why we're seeing
19:10
all that trade Murphy ownership sky rocket. But for me, it's it's gonna
19:15
be Zion. I think Zion picks up the slack that that Ingram leaves behind.
19:21
Only played twenty nine minutes last night, second out of a back to
19:25
back, but at eighty eight hundred. I like Zion. I like this
19:27
matchup that he has against this team. And then on the other side,
19:32
I don't really like anybody on this Heat Heat team. I don't feel like
19:34
I ever like anybody on the Heat unless unless you know they have a bunch
19:37
of injuries. They just play so slow. But give me some Zion and
19:41
that that would do it. Maybe some Trey Murphy just because he should see
19:45
some elevated minutes. Obviously more shots going around. But it's Zion or Bus
19:48
for me really in this game. Yeah, I don't love this game.
19:52
I think Jimmy Butler is a contrarian spend at that in that AK range,
19:56
a small forward. I think he's a solid option you can play. Jimmy
20:00
Slate coming off a good game right where he took it to Cleveland a little
20:03
bit. Not the greatest matchup, still did good right score thirty in real
20:06
life fifty DraftKings points. I think he's fine. Zion, I think he's
20:11
fine. Zion's just playing out of his mind right now. Did have a
20:12
letdown last game against Orlando, but again, that's a tough, tough matchup
20:17
here. Still not the greatest matchup inside going up against BAM in the interior.
20:22
So I think I'd prefer Trey Murphy or CJ. McCollum, to be
20:26
honest here at the price points in this matchup if I'm playing any of these
20:29
Pelicans. Trey Murphy my favorite play by far in this game, but he's
20:33
also the everyone's favorite play from this game. I think you can just fade
20:37
this game in general, to be honest, but you can play some of
20:41
these guys in your MMM sets. Trey Murphy definitely my favorite play from this
20:45
game. Just his usage increases with no brandon ingram in there, gonna definitely
20:52
be be in that starting line up there, and at six K I think
20:55
his minutes are pretty secure as well. Jump into the last game that's seven
21:00
PM here, it's Cleveland and it's Minnesota. In terms of a total in
21:06
this one two O seven lowest total in the slate, Minnesota seven point favorites
21:10
here. In terms of injury news, let me pull it up here.
21:17
So Mobile's out, stresses out, Dean wades out for Cleveland. On the
21:21
Minnesota side, Ant is questionable. Gobert and Nasried are also questionable as well,
21:26
and Edwards at ninety seven hundred. I see some people talking about favorite
21:30
stud on the slate. He's playing out of his mind right now, hasn't
21:33
scored under fifty DraftKings points and since back early early March. Talk about Aunt,
21:41
talk about Gobert Anderson, any of these guys that you're interested in.
21:45
Caris Laverda on the other side right, obviously with no Donovan Mitchell. But
21:48
I do think these Cleveland pieces and prices have adjusted correctly. Obviously, it's
21:53
a brutal matchup against Minnesota, going into Minnesota to the slower paced, good
21:59
defensive teams here from a DF's perspective, not a great game overall, but
22:04
maybe you see something here that you can pull. Yeah, just just look
22:11
at it. I mean, this is one of those games. It's gonna
22:12
be tough. And uh yeah, I agree with the chat in the sense
22:17
that it's Anthony Edwards ninety seven hundred dollars. I mean obviously that's uh it
22:21
doesn't take too much. But yeah, I think he's a great play.
22:23
I think that's a great price on him. Uh, they don't really have
22:26
anybody in my opinion that's gonna stick with him. The problem would be if
22:30
this game, you know, blows out, then he won't get that fourth
22:34
quarter run. I mean we're missing a ton of pieces, a ton of
22:37
offense from this Cavaliers team. All those prices are just so elevated. I
22:41
mean, seven to four for Kearris, no thank you, eight to four
22:45
for Jared Allen, no thank you. So it's it's outside of ant in
22:51
this game. It's gonna be tough to get to any of these guys just
22:52
break based off of those elevated price tags that we're seeing. I mean,
22:57
if you wanted to to get crazy, Marcus Morris Senior seeing twenty you know,
23:04
twenty minutes that's a one fifty type thing. That's not a not a
23:08
you know, a three team type player or anything like that, but that's
23:11
a more of a one fifty set. But that's I don't see much of
23:15
this game outside of Ann. Yeah, and it does have a pretty tough
23:18
matchup if anyone were to contain him here a Coral, pretty solid defender likely
23:23
going to be glued to and Edwards here, maybe he slows him down a
23:26
little bit and at nine to seven, you do you need a ceiling out
23:30
of him here on a on a big slate like this, Kris Lavert doesn't
23:34
have a great matchup, but the role is just incredible right now for Karris
23:37
Lavert. So if you want to pull someone here, I think Kris Lavert
23:41
would be my favorite guy on Cleveland or then jumping into guy like me Yang
23:47
right, whose minutes are pretty safe right now. It's pretty gross saying that,
23:48
but I mean he's pretty sent stone for thirty plus minutes here for to
23:52
six, he's gonna take his I mean he's been shooting the ball, he's
23:56
been firing up threes. If he's making him, he's gonna keep. So
24:00
don't hate on kneeing or or a guy like a Coral just because of CLA
24:04
Core is going to be thrust it into a bunch of minutes to contain,
24:10
and Edward's the best he can. So either of those guys in that mid
24:12
tier I think are fine. Caris Lavert. I'm a little under on An
24:17
Edwards here, but I get the reasoning. I mean, he's playing great
24:18
basketball right now. It's just I like other spins on the slate more that
24:22
I already talked about, So not for me. But that's the last game
24:29
at the seven pm a pm Eastern time window. These next game, these
24:33
next two games, we could talk about Locke combined two hours after that,
24:38
those first five games. The next one here LAC Portland. In terms of
24:45
the total here two seventeen total, another big spread, Clippers thirteen point favorites
24:48
here on the road. Injury news in this one for Clippers and Portland.
24:56
Terrence Man questionable, Powell questionable, Jeremy Grant doubtful here in this one,
25:00
Anthony Simons is probable here, decent amount ownership looks like going to our guy
25:06
Scoot Henderson at five to four here and the Clippers Paul George James Harden talk
25:11
about this one. I don't love this game a ton here, big spread
25:15
talk about Scoot Henderson because I do expect him to get quite a bit of
25:18
ownership. He's been playing decent as of late. He's gonna play thirty plus
25:22
minutes and he's just five to four here, So touch on Scoot Henderson for
25:26
sure. Yeah, yes, Scoot would be the play like you alluded to.
25:30
I mean, you have you have Simons, who's probable then and then
25:37
Grant who is I think you said doubtful and that that would be the reason
25:41
to play Scoot. So it's kind of kind of depend on what those two
25:44
do. Uh. This is a rematch of the game two nights ago where
25:47
Scoot played thirty five minutes. So definitely at five four he's gonna be popular,
25:52
and for good reason. This may be some of that good chalk that
25:55
we sometimes talk about, assuming that a couple of those pieces are out,
25:57
So I would stay stay glued to that to see what you're gonna do,
26:00
and then I talk about it all the time on this show. To me,
26:03
it's uh. On the other side, with the Clippers, it's just
26:07
so tough to pick which one of the big three are going to have that,
26:10
you know, that blowout game for me tonight, if I'm picking a
26:12
Clipper, it's gonna be the point guard position eighty five hundred dollars James Harden.
26:18
But even then, I like other studs like you just alluded to a
26:21
minute ago, is there's other studs in my opinion, that I want to
26:23
pay eighty five hundred plus for. Uh So it's tough to fit in these
26:26
these Clippers guys, and there's no real value popping off the page night on
26:30
the Clippers. So it's Scoot. I think the the the Banton experience is
26:36
over for me, just based off the fact that his price is so elevated
26:41
and his minutes are going down, uh, you know with the with the
26:44
return of Scoot. So it's gonna be Scoot in this game for me.
26:47
And that's about it. Yeah, I agree with you, just scoop for
26:51
me, maybe as Zubac, but I just don't love it, love it
26:53
for Zubac. I just don't think he's gonna need the minutes. I don't
26:56
think they're gonna need to run them out there. But maybe again eighten right,
27:00
they run Zubac out there, So I don't hate Zoo at five to
27:03
four as a contrarian play obviously just crushes Portland team last matchup two nights ago,
27:10
scored almost forty and if he gets forty almost forty again at five four,
27:14
I think he's definitely good play for GPPs here, So don't hate Zubach.
27:18
Scoot Henderson by far my favorite play outside of that. Pretty much a
27:21
fade game for me, jumping in the second game at the eight ten pm
27:27
Eastern time window. One of two games. Right, we just talked about
27:30
the Clips and the Trailblazers. In terms of this one, Indy and Golden
27:36
State believe this is the highest total on the entire slate at two forty one.
27:41
Just a four point spread here. Golden State favorite by four at home.
27:44
Very very good game, I think from a DFS perspective. In terms
27:48
of injury news in this one, Draymond Green is probable for Golden State.
27:52
Outside of that, really no no important injury news. So two pretty fully
27:59
healthy squad here. In terms of this one, Jalen Smith kind of popping
28:03
off the page in terms of value right now and ownership. You got Curry
28:08
at sub nine k, which is crazy to see. You got tj D
28:11
at five k. Right, that's the center position for Golden State. Big
28:15
spread but pretty much fully healthy. Squads here are not a big spread,
28:21
but a big total. Excuse me, two forty one, where you're going,
28:25
Indy Golden State. Yeah, I think you're gonna need some pieces in
28:30
this game. Just like you said, I mean it's it's the highest highest
28:33
total points total of the evening. And for me, it's gonna start with
28:37
Aaron Smith based on price fifty one dollars. I like his dual eligibility at
28:44
a shooting guard and small forward. Warriors struggle struggle against combo guards and and
28:52
and forwards this season, so don't mind, don't mind him. Like I
28:56
said at fifty one, he would be my favorite pacer, another pacer I
29:02
have some interest in. We'll kind of see how it shakes out. It's
29:04
going to be Tyrese Halliburton. I think this is the type of game that
29:07
Tyreese thrives in, up tempo game, you know, playing against you know,
29:11
Steph Curry. I think Tyree's comes out pays off that tag at nine
29:15
thousand. We'll see how much of him I get tonight, But certainly don't
29:18
mind Tyrese Haliburton in this game. And then on the flip side of it,
29:22
I mean, you can play a variety of these of these guys.
29:26
But for me, Tracy Jackson Davis five thousand dollars center eligible, he just
29:30
does so many things very efficient around the rim. Most of his shots are
29:36
going to be around the ram layups, duns type of thing. And if
29:38
we can get some you know, a double double out of him, or
29:41
you know double double with some assists, I think he can pay that off
29:45
easily. And he does have a pretty good matchup to night. So give
29:47
me some some trace Jackson Davis tonight at at five thousand dollars at the center
29:52
position. No great breakdown here. I like Anie Smith a lot here.
29:57
Five to one, Like you said, shooting guard, small forward eligibility is
30:00
nice. Think he bounces back here. Price is nice. Matchup is decent
30:04
for him, His minutes are going to be there. We have him projected
30:07
for thirty five minutes right now at a five to one in UH in this
30:11
total in this game. I think that's solid. I also really like Siakam
30:15
here small forward, power forward position seventy eight hundred. I think this is
30:19
a good spot for him. Pretty low ownership here. I think this is
30:22
a pretty big Siakam game here, so I like him. I agree trace
30:27
Deck Jackson Davis I think is a good play here as well. Jalen Smith
30:33
the chalkiest one, but again, I mean, I think he's been playing
30:37
well limited minutes. You really need him to be productive. But he's just
30:42
three to seven, and I mean he scored twenty five, twenty three,
30:45
twenty three, twenty five. I mean even in his nineteen to twenty minutes
30:51
three to seven. I don't think he's the craziest value play here. It
30:53
is a big total, so I don't hate that, but uh, it
30:57
is kind of a fringy value play just due to the nature his minutes are
31:03
pretty much captain about twenty. But do you think this is a very good
31:07
game? I mean, can I interest you in a little Klay Thompson here?
31:11
How much I know you hate Klay Thompson, but man, he's playing
31:12
pretty good right now. It's not the not the worst matchup for him.
31:18
I mean, he's gonna get his right around thirty minutes. I don't think
31:21
he's crazy at five to eight here. I just don't think I can do
31:26
it. I just don't think he does enough for the other things. I
31:30
mean, you know, every time you look up, you're right. I
31:33
mean he's shooting it. I mean literally every time he touches it, you
31:37
know, averaging right around fifteen shots a game. I mean, good price
31:42
tag. I don't know, Nage, you might, you might, you
31:45
might talk me into it fifty eight hundred dollars. We'll see what it comes
31:48
down to. I mean, I would take Nie Smith over him, same
31:52
position and seven hundred dollars cheaper. But uh, you know, doing one
31:56
fifty. Don't think it's the worst call. Yeah, I just I mean
32:00
it's it's a tough matchup for him, but I mean he's chucking it.
32:04
I mean, Pacers are pretty good at catching shoot, which is obviously what
32:07
Klay Thompson does. Sits on the wing, catch and shoot three pointers.
32:09
But at five eight, I mean, I don't think it's the craziest play,
32:14
not the best matchup by far, but I just thought i'd give it
32:16
a shout. Curry. I'm gonna get memhar defense. So really don't love
32:22
it. From the Golden State side, I think my main interest here it's
32:24
definitely on the Pacers. Siakam Nie Smith. My two favorite plays in this
32:29
game. For sure. Jumping the last game of the slate. Here we
32:32
have Philly, we have the Lakers thirty minutes after those last two games.
32:37
Lock in terms of this one in a total perspective, two twenty five total
32:42
here Lakers seven point favorites at home. Injury news, Anthony Davis is probably.
32:47
Lebron James is questionable, Prince remains out for the Lakers, Reddish is
32:52
back for the Lakers. Vanderbilt and Vincent also out for the Lakers. On
32:57
the Philly side, Tobias Harris is questionable. Melton, it means out here
33:00
for Philly, got an ad popping off the page here for me, I
33:07
like ad quite a bit. Here in this spot is a late night Hammer.
33:09
He's uh, he's crushing right now as well, coming off a nice
33:14
game against Atlanta, obviously much a great matchup for center bigs against Atlanta.
33:20
Do you have interest in a D here late night Hammer in this one?
33:24
Any Lebron for you? Tyrese MAXI, where are you going in this one?
33:30
Yeah? This would be a good game. Like you said, late
33:31
night Hammer, I mean, I mean, of course you got to have
33:35
a little bit of interest in a D and Lebron I mean it's gonna come
33:38
down if you know, winby versus a D for me once ten six one's
33:43
ten to three, you know, same position. I think both in great
33:46
matchups. I think Wemby's got a little bit better matchup, a little bit
33:51
higher ceiling as well, just based on the fact that his team's not as
33:54
strong and doesn't have as many options. But you know, two of the
33:58
lower round guys that I want to touch on with the Lakers that I have
34:00
interest in are gonna be these guards d Lo, Dan Agelo, Russell Austin
34:06
Reeves seventy three hundred seventy one hundred dollars respectively. I certainly want a piece
34:10
of this game, and I think this is a way to get a piece
34:13
of that game and not going into the ten k range with Lebron or a
34:16
D. So I'm certainly fine with either one of those. I would do
34:21
Max one of those with d Low or Austin Reeves really like that. On
34:25
the other side, on the seventy six er side, they've struggled all season
34:30
long with point guards and combo guards. So what does that mean? So
34:36
that means give me some tyrese MAXI who you know, eighty seven hundred dollars
34:40
elevated price tag. You know, should see right around thirty five plus minutes.
34:45
He's gonna shoot it. He's a big, big piece of their action.
34:47
And then the other one that I like, forty nine hundred dollars,
34:51
buddy Healed should see, should see a lot of catch and shoot opportunities.
34:54
Hasn't been playing a who whole lot, but I think that could change tonight,
34:59
just based on how this game is gonna get played out. So it
35:00
would be the guards for me, d Lo and Reeves and then Healed and
35:05
Max on the other side. Yeah, no, I like Maxy a little
35:09
bit here too, a d I prefer ad to Wemby. I see that
35:14
question in the chat, Richie. It's it's an ad spot for me.
35:16
Ad been off since Monday coming here. I mean, Lakers got to start
35:21
winning games down the stretch. I think this is I mean, all the
35:24
talk is on Lebron for a good reason, right. Lebron's been absolutely crushing,
35:28
taking a lot of the ball handling duties, a lot of the shots,
35:30
so that hurts guys like d Russ and Reeves a little bit. I
35:34
don't think d Russ is a terrible play, but with Lebron doing so much
35:37
of the ball handling, taking so many of the touches, it's just hard
35:43
for me to get to these other shooters. Ad my favorite play by far
35:46
in this game. I love AD, one of my favorite studs on my
35:50
favorite stud actually on the on the host slate here. I really like going
35:53
AD and chat tonight kind of starting my team's there. I like that.
36:00
I think my other favorite, my other play in this game would be in
36:04
the mid tier Ruy Hachimura here at par forward center. He's got coach speak
36:07
on his side here. They need Rui to be more aggressive here. He's
36:13
going to get his minutes, his thirty plus minutes here, he's taking double
36:15
digit shot attempts and the coach speak here they want him to be more aggressive.
36:21
This could be a good spot for Ruey hot Chima here to be a
36:22
little aggressive, and he should be unhowned as a differentiation piece in your lineup,
36:28
so I don't hate him. But by far my two favorite plays eighty
36:30
in this game and Tyrese Maxi on the other side. That's all eight games.
36:36
We broke it down pretty good. Any final final thoughts for the people,
36:38
any questions you want to address in the chat here. Yeah, the
36:43
anybra love, I didn't mention Ubray. I don't think you did either,
36:46
So no uber love for me. I don't know if you want to touch
36:49
on that or if you already diet shaking your head no. And then yeah,
36:52
we talked about the Memphis guys earlier, pimpin if he plays, I
36:55
think it's a viable option based on that price. Also, like Jero,
37:00
just depending on who plays. And I hope, I hope no Ones isn't
37:02
listening anymore because I do have some uh some conc our love as well,
37:07
just depending on who's who's in, who's out, So yeah, that would
37:09
be it for me. But yeah, good luck in your contest tonight.
37:13
Winding down this NBA season, really enjoyed everybody tuning in, enjoyed, appreciate
37:17
you needs and thanks to the Ship and Nation family out there. We appreciate
37:21
you. So I do want to just go back to the Portland game because
37:25
we just got news DeAndre Ayton just got ruled as a midday downgrade, so
37:34
you want to hit on that. In terms of usage, Banton obviously gets
37:38
a lot of usage. Scoop gets some usage there at Camara is gonna get
37:44
some usage boost there at the small forward position. Wainwright a little bit as
37:49
well, talk about that that eight news. Yeah, if if eight and
37:53
were to miss that elevators I'm sorry, Yeah, I mean du up Wreath
38:01
obviously as well. We'd have to pay attention to to who would start there.
38:07
Yeah, I feel yeah, to your point exactly, we'd want to
38:08
see who starts. I think it would be Jabbari. But if duop Reath
38:13
started, you know, he had a he had a couple of good games,
38:15
you know, two or three weeks ago. Uh so, so yeah,
38:17
so either one of those guys, uh, I mean, that would
38:20
be some open up, some great value. I think the one issue you'd
38:23
run into there is that we may not get that news until the slate has,
38:29
as you know, well into the slate, right. I think we've
38:30
got four or five games before that game starts, so that's a that's a
38:35
ten pm Eastern game start time, so we may not know. But yeah,
38:38
I don't mind Jabari. I would prefer Jabari over Wreath. Uh.
38:43
Just on the record of staying that he is eight hundred, eight hundred dollars
38:45
more I should should eight and miss. Yeah, I think my favorite player
38:50
would actually be uh too many Kamara to be honest, at the small for
38:54
Ard power forward position thirty nine hundred, his minutes would solidify a little bit.
39:00
Matchup still isn't great. I'm approaching like Ayton does miss this game midday
39:05
down grade, especially this late in the day usually doesn't go too well here.
39:08
So maybe Aidon didn't want to go up and bang down low with with
39:10
Zubac here and the Kawhi Leonards of the world. So Ayton's probably like saying,
39:17
hey, Friday night, I'm gonna just kick back. I'll throw my
39:20
feet up on the bench and uh, you know, just get on with
39:23
my night. So I doubt eight and plays here. So we're definitely gonna
39:28
get some value from from the Portland side. But it is still a pretty
39:31
tough matchup, is kind of how I would look at it. But I
39:35
think it definitely helps Kamara a little bit there Scoot a little bit as well,
39:38
which we already like Scoot in that game. So overall, pretty good
39:45
spot there. That's all eight games. Again. I see our guy try
39:50
in the chat here talking about three core plays. Man, if you want
39:52
the core plays, we do throw up the core every single night. Over
