  Speaker 3: Juice is here, Williams here, our guy who.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Else is here?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Truck of Chad Y title tonight he's eating off camera.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: No names here and Atron and Avery appreciate you guys
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: getting here nice and early. I guess we were kind
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: of late figuring out some technical difficulties on the back
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: end because we're both in different locations than usual, so
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: different setup, trying to figure out how to get the
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: stream stream yard setup. But we're here a little bit late.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: But yeah, Matt, how you're doing today? Really fun Wednesday
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: NBA slate. Just a little bit of a bummer that
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: this portion of season, the prize pools are what they are,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: but all on all, pretty fun slate in general.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, prize pools are pretty disappointing, but always happy to
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: get on here and talk some boops with you. Love
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: these Wednesday shows. We got a big slate tonight with
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: games kind of throughout the night. Nothing crazy late, but
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: later than most slates we've seen all year. So excited
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: to break down a slate with a bunch of games,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: a bunch of good spots. Interesting to hear your takes here,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: and let's take something down tonight.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: Let's ship it. So, yeah, man, excited to break this
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: one down again.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: How do to give you a shout out? We're talking
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: a little bit pre show about your your performance in
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: the MILLI you got all the way up to eighth place,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I believe you said, right, Yeah, so that's a that's
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: the way. Obviously, it sucks when you don't get top
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: two in a such a top heavy contest like that,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: but regardless, really good showing for you.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: So shout out to you on that one.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, analog men in digital world, that's right. Uh, this
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: one's new. I'll take it though. I guess substitute teachers
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: are cool.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: But yeah, a.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Couple of games off the top that I think look
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: pretty good here. There's a couple, uh, just fun games
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: in general, like the Atlanta Detroit one should be good.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: This is a different slate in the sense that there's
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: a lot less blowut concerns in some of the games.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: We have two tanking teams.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: With Utah and Washington facing off, but that'll kind of
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: be a fun one to get to. But I mean
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: there's like three games that are less than three point spreads,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: actually four games that are less than three point spread
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: three point spreads, than five that are less than four
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: point spreads. So all in all, pretty pretty fun slate overall.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: But what are you seeing just from like a slate
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: overview standpoint.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of seeing what you're seeing in the sense that,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: like every game looks like it could be viable in
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: one way or another from a DFS perspective. But man,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: that Washington Utah game, it's like the perfect storm because
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: you've got two of the main tanking teams going at
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: each other with guys out from both squads, so it's
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: really hard to get away from from either side there,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: especially with how cheap most of the guys are. I mean,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: we'll talk about Kennedy Chandler, who I know we were
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: both on Ace Bailey, Like, these guys are really difficult,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: some of the best players to play on the entire slate.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: So interesting to hear if there's other spots you like
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: more than that game, Because when I first looked at
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: this slate, that game the price.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Hads who is out, who is in? I was like, Man,
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I can get enough from this game.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: So I'm just looking forward to breaking down this slate
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: to see if maybe there's other spots we can take
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: advantage of it and maybe get away from that spot
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: a little bit.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to me, this feels like a very good mmy
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: slate because I don't know if there's necessarily a certain
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: game or like a certain spot that I have a
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: ton of confidence in like we've had in the couple
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: of these slaves past. But you could really make a
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: case for guys in every single game on the slate,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: maybe minus like the Memphis side of the Spurs and
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Memphis game like, but even the Spurs guys are gonna
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: look good, like I think the Lakers and Indie game
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: is kind of sneaky, maybe the one that will I
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: guess this would be a good segue into but the
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Atlanta and Detroit game Detroit favorite by three there. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: think this is probably one that seems like the worst
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: environment on the between the close spread games. But I'm
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: curious to see if you if you're thinking about it
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: differently than I am. But the Pistons favored by three
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: here and this will be the first time the Hawks
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: have faced like an actual good defense over the last month.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: They did lose to the Rockets, I believe, like like
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: March fifth or whatever it was that they've played, but
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: they've been playing some pretty weak opponents and good to them.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Though they were on a you know, eleven game win streak,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: got all the way up to six in the East,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: a couple of teams were kind of sliding the heat.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Who will talk talk about a little bit falling down
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: in the standings, but I do think that this is
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: a pretty tough matchup for them, even if they got
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Jalen Johnson back. I kind of do feel like Pistons
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: deserve to be favored here, and I honestly was I
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: don't really bet sides a lot, but I do feel
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: pretty enticed by the Pistons minus three here because I
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: do think that they can slow down enough of what
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: the Hawks do well. Pistons are really really good rim defense,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: giving up you know, their slight three point funnel tendencies lately,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: but has been spraying a lot from deep over the
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: last two weeks. Guys like Cigar mccallman, Nick Alexander Walker,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I think have been playing great basketball lately, but the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Hawks have been a pretty poor riom defense and the
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Pistons are number one in rim scoring this month, so
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I do think that they have the edge there, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: if they can run into a cold shooting night from
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the Hawks side, I do think that they can pull
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: this one out. But it talk to me about this one,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Atlanta Detroit.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Man, I know it hurts a little bit to see
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: your Pistons only three point home favorites against the Hawks here. Obviously,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: playing kid is out, but they haven't been playing great
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: ball and the Hawks have been to your point, Atlanta's
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: been in much better spots recently, so it's hard to
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: want to plant your.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: Flag out Atlanta. Guys.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: The only thing I'd say is like, if Jalen Johnson
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: is out again, I see no reason why we can't
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: go back to Dyson Daniels CJ, the same guys we
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: were looking at mostly those two. Daniels being the top
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: option with his shooting guard, small forward eligibility. Not a
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: great spot on paper, but he's got upside of his
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: price tag in any spot with Jalen Johnson out, So
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: with Johnson in, I don't really think I want to
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: spend up on him here over the other spend up
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: bobsons we have, and all the other guys would obviously
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: take a huge step back if he's out. That's where
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I think we can get to a little bit of Atlanta.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: They wouldn't be must plays like they would be on
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: some other slates, but I think they'd be in play
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: from Detroit. I think that's where it's a little bit
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: more intriguing. Jalen Duran coming off back to next subpar performances, Like,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I think he's got a pretty low floor for this
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: price tag, but I think his ceiling is high, so
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: in tournaments, I'm interested.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Danis Jenkins coming off a really good game.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Price tag is not like I heard you make the
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: point on him, I don't know, a couple days ago
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: or last week, I can't remember that. Like, he's not
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: at the price tag where he's not a must play,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: and I agree with that, but he's still the in
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: play in a pretty good spot at this tag. Clearly
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: he's got upside there. Those would be the two guys.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Other than that, I think it's all fringe to your
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: original point, though, even though I think that those guys
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: are all in play, I do think because of how
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: this slate lays out that this might be the worst
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: game from a DFS perspective.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you on the Hawk stuff, like
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: if Jaylen's out, that's obviously gonna make these guys look
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: a lot better. And I think I'm definitely more of
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: like the matchups guy. But like the numbers do say
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: that Dyson would be the preferred option between him, Nika,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Alexander Walker, and CJ. But the matchup I think is
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: just much much better for uh CJ and NIKIEL. But
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: the small forward eligibility is always good to have for
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: a player like Dyson. Just think of the prices starting
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: to get to a point where it's a little bit
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: tougher for him, Like you probably need like fifty on
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: this big of a slate, and he hasn't really done
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: that much, like forty five if I feel like you'd
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: be happy with. But Nikke Alexander Walker has that really
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: big upside if he's hidden shots, and I think that's
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: a pretty good spot for him matchup wise. But yeah,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: the Dannis jacket stuff has been great to see. There's
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: a I wish there was, Like maybe I just don't
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: listen to enough Detroit Beat Ryder stuff. But to me,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: it seems like they're really trying to ramp him up
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: come playoff time for the possibility that Kid misses a
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: lot of the first round, because I mean, he's had
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: an incredible role, like basically the same exact role that
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Kate had when he was starting, and now you're basically
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: getting not saying that Kid and Dannis are comparable, because
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Kaid's a you know, first team All NBA player and
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Dannis is an undrafted guy, but from a role standpoint,
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: it's the same role. But you're getting him at six
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: point three K versus Kid at like eleven K. So
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: even you know, if you just took the role into account,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Dannis is probably worth eight thousand dollars right now, I
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: would say in salary, so you're again still getting a discount.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: But I would say that this is probably the tougher
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: matchup that a toughest matchup that has had on this
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: hot streak can play.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: The Lakers.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: They're solid defensively, not great, Warriors are bad, Wizards are bad,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: and now he's playing, you know, against the Alexander Walker
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: and Dyson Daniels. I think that he could underwhelm. But
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: there's also a chance that he's just way too cheap
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: in any matchup. And then I agree with you on Duran.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I think this is a really good spot for him.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: At eight point five K still been fine from like
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: a permanent standpoint outside of the Laker game, just involved
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: in a lot of blowouts. But I do think that
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: he could bounce back in a pretty big way here.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: The only issue is that this is kind of like
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: a dead zone for centers, and we have you know,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Julian Reees or Anthony Gill and then probably Oscar Sheeb
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: way wamby Sengoon Bam.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Like the center position is really really strong tonight. So
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: is he gonna.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Payoff in a way that really separates at the position.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not too sure. I think that we do get
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: a really really strong game from one of at least
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: one of, if not both Oscar and Reese tonight, and
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: they're gonna be you know, three K to three point
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: seven K.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: I'm with you, I'm with you.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: The only thing I'd say is like Duran has the
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: capability of destroying those guys because like those guys obviously
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: you know, points per dollar wise are likely to be
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Resa and Shebey that is both really really good, but
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I think they're ceiling in this spot. It's worth at
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: least thinking about tournaments. That's all it is. I'm more
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: with you than against you there.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I definitely agree with you, like I'm gonna be getting
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: to him. I don't know what the ownership com like.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: If it's gonna be fifteen, probably like an even field
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: thing with him because the center position is really strong.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: And I guess there is some negative correlation of playing
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: both Reese and she Boy in the same game, so
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: it might make more sense to go one of those
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: guys and then one of Wenby Sengoon or Bam and Durham.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Something like that.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Maybe I don't even know if there is though, just
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: because of how cheap recent she Boy are like to
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: it's I guess my main issue would play both of
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: them would be and then playing other really popular plays
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: is just funneling your lineup into into a spot where
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: it's just too similar to the lineups.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean. That's all it is.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, hard to really get a lot of win
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: equity when you're building the same as a lot of people.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: All Right, I think that'll do it for that game.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: We could jump into the next one on Saber, they
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: have Chicago at Philly, a game with injury news on
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: both sides. May be less important on the Bull side,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: but they have questionable tags upgrade questionable tags on Yaboo
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: and Isaacaccoro. We've been seeing somewhat of a tighter rotation
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: for the Bulls as of late, so we've gotten, you know,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: pretty solid fantasy performances from Gideon Matas, and this game
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: does have a should have a lot of fantasy appeal
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: because it is a two hundred and forty over under.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Sixers are favored by six and a half, I believe,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: and they're getting Paul George back and then potentially Joel Embid.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: It sounds like Mbia it's going to be back tonight,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: which is tough because when I was looking at this
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: a couple of days ago, think about Edgecom and how
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: great the matchup is for him. It's going to be
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: tougher for him to really separate in a big way
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: now that Embiid and Paul George gonna be back to
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: take away some usage from him. I don't think it
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: matters as much with Paul George returning as it does
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Embiid because we know that Embiid could really just dominate
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: usage when he does play, even in limited minutes, he's
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: probably gonna be posting like a thirty five plus percent
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: usage rate. But I mean, I'm kind of interested in
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Paul George here at seven point five K because it
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: sounds like he's been staying in NBA shape. Obviously out
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: with the suspension PDS or whatever it was that he
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: got suspended for. But he's healthy, which is good because
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: it's kind of always been the issue with him. But
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: he's been in the building, he's been practicing taking contact,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: and it sounds like he's gonna be back to full,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: which might be like thirty five thirty six minutes right
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: off the bat in a really good matchup. Yeah, I
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: mean the bull side I would love to get to.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: It's just gonna be a little bit tougher if these
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: guys do come back O Korol and yah because they
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: are playing. But I think that Giddy and Matas are
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: definitely in play here. But what have you seen in
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: this one?
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: So I'm with you, Like, when you first look at
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: this game, man, it looks really appealing. The problem is,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I think there's other games that look even more appealing.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: But to your Philly point. I also really liked and
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: still do like Edgecomb. If M beat this out, if
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: M beat is in, he's just too expensive. But if
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: M beat this out, I don't care about Paul George,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: and I understand he might be too cheap, and he
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: might be in shape and.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: He's been whatever. I'm not playing Paul George here seventy
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: five hundred, like I just.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I definitely don't think he's too cheap, but it's just
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: like a matchup thing. He's definitely not too cheap.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Like his first game back at this tag, he's projected
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: like that's a ripe projection, so Favor and other projection
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: system see it similarly to you. I can't imagine will
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: be high owned. He's not projected to be highly owned,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: and people won't want to go there.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: So I get it. I just don't I can do
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: it for me.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Two guys in this game that I like Edgecomb if
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: embat is out and then Giddy from the Chicago side
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: talking about playing thirty seven and thirty nine minutes again
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: in the past two games we've seen it. The balls
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: are not afraid to run him massive minutes. Towards the
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: end of the season, even with Chicago playing for nothing,
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: this game should be good from a DFS perspective, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: because there are better spots on paper, like a bunch
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: of them, he or nothing from this game is going
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: to get a lot of love. So, man, if em
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: beat is out, I'm really considering running a Gideon Edgecomb
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: pairing in at least one of my lineups.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: I like that idea because I definite think the scoring
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: will be there, and I mean Giddy's I think people
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: are still kind of off of him because of the
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: price tag, but I mean he's been he's bessing the
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: ball like his potential assists have.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Been through the roof lately.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Just the scoring and reboundings come down a little bit,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: so I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if it all
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: kind of lines up in a good matchup here.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: So I'm with you on that. I think that's a
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: pretty pretty interesting.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Pairing right there. I think that does it for this game.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Really not much else to talk about it. I feel like
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: it's a pretty pretty top heavy game environment in terms
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: of the spend up. So I think we can move
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: on to the next one, Lakers at Indy.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: This is go ahead.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say Yeah, to your point, it's just
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: tough because there's there's just other really good spots on
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: this slates. It's hard to prioritize value there. It's just
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: send up options or nothing for me.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Same here.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: So this game, I think there's kind of a lot
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: to unpack here. Lakers at Indy we've been seeing obviously
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: the Indye Pacers have been tanking most of the season,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: but I mean a home game against a team like
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: the Lakers, I wouldn't be surprised if they do run.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Up their guys a little bit.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I feel like they're pretty safe where they are in
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: the standings right now. I's want to pull up Tankathon
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: real quick, so they it's kind of a three man
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: race toward the end between Indy, Washington, and Brooklyn for
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: the bottom three spot. Sacramento has nineteen wins. Those teams
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: have sixteen and seventeen, so it's a lot easier to
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: lose games right now than is for them to win games.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: I feel like this could be a game where they
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: do play things more straight up, and we saw against
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: the Magic where they actually came away with the win.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, they play their guys a ton of minutes
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: and they like this is the Pacers are easily the
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: most talent like NBA talent ready team of the tanking teams.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: When they play their guys, it's just a matter of
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: not of them playing them, and if they do play
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: them tonight, I kind of feel like the game plays closer,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: which is great for the Lakers guys, because we've basically
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: seen in every game over the past month, we're at
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: least one and sometimes up to three to four opposing
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: players post a tournament viable or fantasy winning score against
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: the Pacers. So that is great for guys like Luca,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: for Reeves, for Lebron James, and then potentially more value
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: open up at the center position if Aiden were to
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: because he is questionable with a back injury. So I
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: have a ton of interest in all three of those guys.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I feel like Luca is clearly the most appealing guy
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: here because he's has the best upside twelve point two
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: k a slight where we have plenty of value, Like
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: he makes a ton of sense. Lebron turning back the
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: clock a little bit, as I've laid a couple or
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: a triple double one game close to another one the other game.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: But you know, settling into more of like his role
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: as a third option on the team I think does
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: cap his upside a little bit, so I would say
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I have him as a close third between him and Reeves,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: but I mean Reeves, man, he's just playing a ton
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: right now. I feel like it'd be smart to get
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: overweight the Lakers side of this game. But in particular
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Reeves and Luca, I think are two guys that I
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: really want a ton of here, because I do think
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: one of these guys, if not both go for a
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: tournament viable, if not tournament winning score. But you talk
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: to me about this one.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Are you willing to play both those guys together and like,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: you know, smaller field stuff, like allocate that much salary.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: I'm sure it feels like a lot, but I don't
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if they both go for like
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: enough for you to like not need them, but like
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: they'd be fine at their prices.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't disagree with that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Just curious to how you felt, because I like your
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: point about man. Uh, I'm getting stuff about TOTALU Smith
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: and chat like he was if durns out that night,
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: like he's the backup set. I can't I can't uh okay.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: So I like your point about like the Lakers at
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: home for Indy the only time they come to town
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: all year, they're coming off a road win.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: Like to your other point, the.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Only reason they're really in this mess or not even mess,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: they're tanking this years because of Haliburn injury.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Like other than that, their roster is pretty good.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: So if they play their guys full minutes tonight, I
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: could see it like playing a couple of these Lakers.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Seakham is cheap if he's gonna play thirty four thirty
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: five minutes, I.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: Think there's better spots.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure I'm gonna allocate the salary that it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: gonna take to get to the guys I want from
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: this game, but you're drawing me in like I get
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: your points, and it's interesting if nothing else, And even
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: with that being said, Luca looks like the best spend
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: up option on the slate, which he often is when
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Jokic isn't on that particular slate.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: So if nothing else, it's Luca.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: But I like your points about the bron reeves and
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: then your Indy calls like it's I'm playing multiple of
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: the Lakers.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: I'd like.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: I like the idea of running it back with an
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: indie guy, even though it's not needed.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, more so, I was saying that I think that
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: they could keep the game competitive. I don't necessarily know
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: if that would make the indie guys viable. But the prices,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, like you said, the prices are pretty good.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Like Siakam at some point, ak if he was playing
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: normal minutes, would be a guy that we're always considering.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Same thing with Nemhard at sixty four hundred like it is,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: these prices are really cheap. It's just like we don't
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: know for sure if they're gonna be playing them. But
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: I would say that, like, if you do play a
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Siakam or a Nemhard, it does make a lot of
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: sense to pair them. I don't necessarily think that you
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: would need.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: To do that. On the other side, though, makes sense.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this game, I don't know, very interesting too. I'm
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: just kind of curious to see what Indy does because
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: if they do play it straight up, I mean, man,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: the Lakers have to be in a really really good
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: spot here.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Mart will dump.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Into the next one potential finals preview depending what a
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: team you're a fan of If you ask.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Matt, he probably would.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: You're more realistic as a fan of your own team,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: but I feel like some people aren't. But this, I
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: think this is kind of the two clear favorites for
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: their respective divisions. Okay, see at Boston A. I mean,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: should be a fun game from a viewer standpoint. We
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: did see the last time that these teams faced off,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: we got a couple solid fantasy scorers, mainly Sga and
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Jalen Brown. But I think take that with a little
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: bit of a grain of salt because Boston was without
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Tatum and Derek White that night and OKAC was without
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: j Dubb and Isaiah Harnstein, so much different here where
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: we have two fully teams and a really low over under.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: It feels like it's gonna be tougher to get tournament
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: winning scores from either side of this game. But to
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: that point, I mean, the prices are pretty fair. Sga
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: a ten point five K looks solid as a spend up.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: I think Jalen Brown at nine point three K is
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: a good price sect for him, A point a K
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: for Tatum. Okay, I think Derek White is in play here.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: The thing that does interest me is that both these
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: teams have basically the same style of defense elite rim
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: defenses on both sides, but two of the biggest three
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: point finals in the league, the Thunder are first in
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: defensive three point frequency, Boston is second, but Boston takes
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: more threes than ok so they could win that battle
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: and potentially win the game if they do run hot
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: with their three point shooting here. I think that's kind
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: of always the way that you beat Oka See. But yeah,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: is there anything that's really sticking out to you in
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: this game, because I do feel like it's a little
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: bit tougher to get to from a game environment standpoint
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: with all the other high scoring games and value in
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: the other games.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so totally and great for me.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: It's all about the stand up options here because it's
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: tough spot for each side, no doubt. But both Boston
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: and especially Okay see playing a lot of non competitive games,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: so SGA's price tag is kind of accounting for that.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: In a spot tonight where they're not guaranteed but likely
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: to be competitive, I can make the case for spending
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: up to be contrarion on SGA. Hatum or Jalen Brown,
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: the secondary fringe guys I'm less interested in, except for
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: maybe like a pretcher to Derek White.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Because of a three point funneling you mentioned.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: But really it's about the spend ups year and potentially
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: playing a lot of the chalking value and then spending
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: up to be contrarian with an SGA and a Jalen
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Brown something like that.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: I don't think I'll do it, but it's in play,
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: and it goes into just what we've.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Talked about, and what I've talked about on pretty much
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: every show I've been on lately is about getting off
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: the beaten path a little bit more this time of
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: year in NBA, with projections just not being able to
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: be as sharp as they are at the beginning towards
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: the middle of the year, with so many teams doing
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: funky stuff. So that's all it is for me, spending
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: up to be contrarian. Other than that, I don't think
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: this is a game we really want much of.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like this is more of like a
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: like a narrative narrative type of game, Like it's a
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: big match up for both teams in the sense that
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: these are two of the best teams in their conferences. Yeah,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: and I feel like for Shay, like I almost always
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: like him in worst matchups on paper, like against really
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: good teams, because you know that he's got that kind
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: of killer instinct where he's going to play more minutes
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: than usual, he's going to be probably having more usage
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: funneling his way, and I actually do think that the
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: matchup might be a little bit better for him than
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: it was in that one game, because I don't know
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: if people were watching, that was a really good game,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: but they were sending a ton of doubles at Shaye
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: in that one, and you kind of can't do that
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: as much here because you have Jay Dubb, who looked
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: great in his return, by the way, kind of taking
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: off some of that taking off some of that importance
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: that you just can't really throw all those doubles at
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Shay anymore because they have secondary playmakers that can actually score.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: You have Aj Mitchell now, like all these guys, they're
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: fully healthy, So it's gonna be a lot tougher for
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Boston to really be doubling up Shae here. So I
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: do agree with you that, I mean a pivot from
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Luca down to Shaye, Like you're obviously not getting the
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: high end ceiling or highest end ceiling from going down
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: from Luca to Shae, Like Luca can go for ninety.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know if SHA's doing.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: That, but if he goes for like sixty five, Luca
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: goes for sixty, then definitely opens up a lot of salaries,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: maybe go off some of the like shake your chalk
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: and into like a more a mid tier option.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all, I know.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: I think a good game, a fun game, not necessarily
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: one that you need to be going crazy with in
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: DFS next one.
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: I really do know what you're saying though about like
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: earlier in the show about how like a multi entry
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: type of slate, because a lot of these games are
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: like this where they might not stand out as like
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: the top game of the night, but they all have
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: things where you could see busting out in tournaments. So
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: like if you're playing a lot of lineups kind of
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: small to entering like you were talking about, you can
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: get to all those different spots in smaller field stuff.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: It's hard to choose like which spot you want to
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: get to.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: I'm totally with you, and I am seeing it as
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: we break down this slate, you know what I mean?
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure, I mean it's fun, like this
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: is a I feel like we've had so many I
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: don't want to say bad slates, because there's still been
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: some fun ones, but like in terms of the games,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: that's all kind of sets up pretty.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Nicely here exactly good way to play it out.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: What's up going? However? Thing's going well? Did you ever
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: answer Toddle's question?
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I think he was asking if you figured out if
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: you're giving me having a baby boy or baby girl?
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: But either way, congrats whatever it is.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Miami at Cleveland should be a fun one, the highest
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: scoring game on the slate, as most Miami games are.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Just with the pace of play that they play at.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Miami's down pretty bad after dropping their their fifth game
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: in a row. Defense has been really bad. Offense still
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: getting it done, but they're getting killed around the basket,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: which is really bad for them because that's kind of
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: been their strong suit under Eric Spolstra and especially the
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: last two years. But they've kind of been worse around
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: the three point line all year. Definitely always being the
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: drum to take three point shooters against them, but it
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: hasn't really been the much the case this year, or
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: at least as of late. But they'll be fully healthy
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: for this one, and I think we're gonna be seeing
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: a lineup change tonight. I think Pelly Larson is going
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: to be going to the bench and we're gonna be
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: getting Norm Powell back in there, which I feel like
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: they should be doing. But yeah, we have to on
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: and see, but I do think that's gonna happen tonight.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: As for the Calves, they will still be without Jared Allen.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: It sounds like he's ramping up here pretty soon. Craig
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Poor Junior's out for a couple of games, Jawn Tyson
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: is also out, and then Max Shru's getting the night
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: off after the back to back. So yeah, all in all,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I think this is I mean, Miami is always involved
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: in these really high scoring games, but they are so
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: spread out in terms of usage and in terms of
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: their salaries, like everybody's always appropriately priced, so I think
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: they're tougher to get to. I think your Cleveland Cavalieres
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: look interesting, though, so let you break down this one.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Miami at Cleveland.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Honestly honestly feel similarly about Cleveland, and they do Miami.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: I think Cleveland's more appealing because of the point you
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: just mentioned about Miami, but I think you're kind of
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: dealing with a similar situation in Cleveland now, with Mobley, Harden,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: and Mitchell all healthy and price like basically the same.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: It's Mitchell for me tonight, but the ownership looks like
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: it's there on Mitchell and it's not really there. And
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: the other guys, I mean, I don't know. I guess
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: hard and projected for basically the same depending on where
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: you look. Mitchell's more Mobile's the least out of all
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: of them, but he's now expensive.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Man like Miami is involved in these high scoring games,
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: and I think this game looks appealing from like a
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: thirty thousand foot view.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: I just think pricing is efficient all over.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: I don't really care about Streus being out for like
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: a DFS perspective.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Maybe I should care more. I don't know.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: I think I just want to lean into other spots
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: more on this slate, Like I like the Lakers, Pacers,
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Tall more, I like Edgecomb, gideymore.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: I just I don't know.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: I don't think this is the game I'm gonna lean
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: into hard, and maybe that's to my detriment tonight, But
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: I just think pricing is efficient.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: That's I think honestly, when it comes down to am
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: I am I off?
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: No, I feel like you're you're definitely on.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: Like the reason that Cleveland guys were more appealing last
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: night was because it's only four games late, Like, we
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: have what four other games to choose from, so eight
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: other teams kind of with you, I feel like it's
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: a max one of Harden and Mitchell, and then I
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: think Mobley's.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Good regardless of what he plays with. I do have
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: interest in Mobley.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Because I mean he was like, like our guy Scooter
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: was saying, he was super effishing last night, a freight
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: from the field. Listen to some podcasts this morning. Just yeah,
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: but like if you're you start a freight from the field,
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: you would think that he deserved more than eight shots.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: So that is kind of it was a little concerning,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: but I mean, hopefully they've talked about it. But I
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: do think that the more that hardened, it's him.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's like deserve it. I think it's
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: him personally.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: But maybe again I'm off there and my you know,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: biases are being shown.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, potentially, I feel like you're pretty pretty good being
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: unbiased when it comes to your own team, though.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: I just feel like with the more games that Mobley
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: and Mitch or and hard and play together, I feel
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: like the better they will get. Like we saw Jared Allen,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: we kind of knew that he would be a lot
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: better with with Harden. Mobley has like a different type
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: of pick and roll game than Yeah, So it's like
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: it's kind of finding the Like it's easy for those
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: two for Jared Allen and Harden to acclimate it because
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: it's like he's like Capella but you know, a bit
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: better and yes.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: And different things.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: Mobley likes to, uh, he likes to, uh, you know,
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: go out to the three point line a little bit more.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: The Angels are different that have been a lot better
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: with it recently.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: And I know Scooters mentioning Mobley had early foul trouble
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: last night that easily could have gone into his inaggressiveness
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: or lack of aggressiveness, say because he's.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: Stayed on the court.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: But you kind of need it all from him on
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: any given night and the eight shots to just never happen.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: I tweeted about, you know, two games ago, when he
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: had one rebound at halftime against the Pelicans, that just
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: cannot happen for him, a guy hit size and talent level.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: That's why I automatically go to it's him when you
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: talk about the eight shots. Now to that point, they
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: need to get him more shots, because when you're that
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: efficient and that good, you just have to get more.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: So they're still working out the kinks when you add
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: a guy like Harden. I think it's going to take
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: a while to all acclimate together.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: To that point.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Though, like this game should be high scoring, I think
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: that someone from Cleveland, a couple guys from Cleveland are
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: likely to get there.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: I just don't know if I want to spend my
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: money on choosing who.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's fair.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: It is nice that movie does have power forward eligibility
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: with how good Dennis to Night, So I definitely think
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: that he is in play, and I would I probably
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: say the same about Spider and Harden, but they don't
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: necessarily have easy matches by any means. Donovan's gonna be
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: guarded by Davion Mitchell. I will spend some time looking
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: at the head to head stuff, so I feel like
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: there's a good amount of data there. Uh you know,
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I always I always thought that they were brothers. But
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: it turns out they're not, like not related at all,
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: which is like I kind of I don't know why,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Like nobody ever told me they were related. I just
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: kind of made it up in my own head, but
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: they're definitely not related. Yeah, Harden will see Andrew Wiggins.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: I don't really know which one is a better matchup
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: between those two, hopefully. I don't know if you guys
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: can hear the the mower in the background, but if
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: that's too loud, let me know. Uh yeah, so, oh yeah,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: we got to touch on the Miami stuff real quick.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: If Norm Powell does start, I definitely have interests there
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: at six point five K. I think that this could
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: be a spot where they really tighten up the rotation here.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know how deep in the bench you're going
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: to go, Like I think Bam is nine K, so
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be tougher for him to get there with
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: the strength of the center position.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: But I do I do have interest in him.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Because we have seen him go off obviously the taking
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: away the Wizards game, but like against Houston, he had
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: a huge game, played like a twenty four minute rotation
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: in the second half, and he didn't really want to
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: come out last game, So I think that we could
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: see really heavy minutes on these Miami guys.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like to call it again to your original point,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: like this game does look appealing, just like from an
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: overall points possession standpoint should be competitive. The only thing
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: I'll say about Miami and kind of I guess boosting
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: my calves a little bit, even though I'm certainly not
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: that high in them going into the playoffs. They kind
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: of got shredded last night for their defensive performance against Orlando.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Atkinson after the game was talking about it, told them
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: that if they play like that, it's going to be
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: an early exit in the playoffs. So like, I think
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: you might see a really good effort from them to night,
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: which maybe doesn't matter, but maybe it does. And that
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: was already kind of leaning on probably getting away from
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: this game, and that doesn't make me like it anymore,
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: so just throwing that out into the either.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: What was it that he said?
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: He said something like, uh, like our defense was bad,
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Like it was something about Sam Merrill in particular, because
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: they were saying the defense was and he just needed
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: to get offense on the court and that's why he
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: went with Merrill something along those lines, right.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And he also was saying, like verbatim, if they
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: play like that in the playoffs, they will be going
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: home early.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I just think you see them strap up tonight.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Yep, definitely you will see.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: This game's gotta be gotta be in played because even
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: even if they do, I'm not like refuting what you
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: said at all, but like, Miami plays so fast and
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: it's just hard for game environments not to be high
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: scoring with how.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: Fast they played.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: And even like if it is true, like Cleveland doesn't
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: really have the horses to be great defensively anyways, So
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not not playing them because of that.
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: To that point, I'm just again like doesn't make me
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: like them anymore. And I was already like thinking that
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: maybe I want to lean harder into other spots. So
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: that's all it is for me.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: All right, cool? All right?
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: San Antonio at Memphis. Now, big news in this one.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: The Spurs will be without Darren Fox tonight lower back tightness,
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: and then plethora of injuries for the Grizzlies as always,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: but Jami Mayshak is doubtful, and then Ty Jerome and
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Jalen Wells be out for this one. Jayvon Small is
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: questionable for this one, but they'll get Cedric Coward and
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Cam Spencer back tonight, so pretty deep rotation for Memphis could.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Tie up a little bit on Javon Small.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: I feel like we can spend less time on Memphis
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: and more on the Spurs though, because Darren Fox does
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: leave a pretty sizable role in terms of playmaking and
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: touch time and all that stuff. Obviously, Dylan Harper is
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: the guy that we're going to be looking so, and
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: I think for a great reason. But some of these
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: other guys will definitely get more involved here. And I mean,
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be hard for me not to get to
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Wenby here. But you could make the case that these
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: guys are more underweight positions because of the big spread.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: But yeah, talk to me about this one.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So Memphis is just not a fem I'm interested
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: in playing here.
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: You know, limited lineups.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: If I were playing one fifty, I wouldn't be like
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: exing all Memphis out, but it would take a lot
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: of lineups for me to prioritize Memphis guys in this spot.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: Just with how many good you mentioned at the beginning,
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: Like there's only like one or two spots maybe to
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: get away from on this slate, and Memphis is one
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: of them. So I'm out on the Grizzlies. From the
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: first Wemby looks great. The problem is the spread. You've
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: seen him play a lot more in games that are
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: likely and have been competitive, So man, he should absolutely
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: nuke when he's on the court here. It's just a
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: matter of how long can he stay on the court.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: But that said, like in blowouts, I'm always much, you know,
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: less hesitant to play guys from teams doing the blowout.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: So I think if you're not playing Luca, Wemby makes
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: a ton of sense. I don't think you have to
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: play him, but wildly in play as.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: The second bester.
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: If you want to say the best snded up option
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: on the slate, I get it. Dylan Harper looks like
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: a guy that I'm a struggle to get away from.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Huge bump with Fox out. You know, he should get
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: a lot of the a lot of the minutes without
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: their main guys on the court, where he's just eating
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: and taking all the usage offensive league.
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: So I really like Harper here.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: Caldon Johnson, I think wildly him play whenever they're missing guys.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: He's gonna have a good role off the bench, and
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: he's really cheap. I think he does look good here
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: the sell back in play Champenny Stefan Castle, Like, I
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: think Castle's got upside here.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: I don't see any reason.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Why Wemby should be like four times his own as Castle,
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: you know. I think that in terms of like the blowout,
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: they're in similar spots and Castle is really cheap for
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: his upside. So Antonia is definitely an important team on
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: this slate. I'm not sure how much Spurs I'm gonna get,
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: but if I'm making one lineup right now, Harper's definitely
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: in it, and I'm going from there, likely another Spurs
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: who are in that lineup.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great breakdown.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: I definitely have a I guess kind of like a
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: take on Wemby. But I mean there's a lot of
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of talk from him personally, like post game,
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: you know, kind of thing for.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Himself to be the MVP.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: I feel like this is like a statement game for
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: him against a really bad team where he could go
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: for like thirty ten plus and the Grizzlies again blocked
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: a ton right now. They also have a lot of
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: inexperienced ball handlers outside of you know, like Camp Spencer.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: game where he has like thirty ten and then like
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: ten plus stocks in total and then it doesn't even.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: Matter a little on that spot.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: Rinds me a little on that stop before the All
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Star Breaking against the Lakers, remember they were they just
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: like sat everyone and he went nuclear and like just half.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: I think he only played a half, but he went nuts.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: So I'm with you. I like that call. If you're
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: playing one lineup right now, I guess is it Luca
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: or Wemby?
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: In tournaments for you, it'd probably be Luca, just because
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: I probably I think in like a sing leunture, you're
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: probably lucking in SHEBWAEI and uh and Reese. I just
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: feel like that's probably the chalk you'd want to then
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: you're going like Harper and Luca and then kind of
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: filling in the rest. But with that said, I think
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: that's gonna be a very chalky route that a lot
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: of people go, but it's hard to argue against it.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: I think, yeah, great, I like that call because.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I think, no, it's all good.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: I think we might be on a little bit of
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: a delay, so I think it's a little bit going
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: on there.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: But yeah, with all that said, I do think that
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: the narrative behind Wemby kind of vying for you know,
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: MVP voting and defensive players. I think he's got dpo
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: I locked up probably for the next like four years.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: But for sure, I don't think that A and he's
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: you know, he's the one that's saying like defense is
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: half of the game. He's one of the I think,
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: you know, Shaye plays solid defense, but Luca doesn't really
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: play a lot of defense, Jokis doesn't play defense, and
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: we're talking about all the MVP candidates, he's easily the
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: best of the four. So I do think that a
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: big defensive game here could definitely help his case. Yeah,
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: just like there's a lot of a lot of content
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: about the awards right now, so I've been kind of
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: kind of locked in there. But I do think Wenby
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: is interesting in that narrative alone. But I agree with
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: you on Castle hard for him to not be in
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: play here. The only issue is that he'd be the
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: one guy I could see really getting cut down if
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: the game does blow out and agree with you on Keldon.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: Keldon is the leader in six Man of the Year
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: odds right now, so I.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Feel like he is.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: He's got to be in play for sure, like Harper
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: and Keldon easy clicks.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, to your point about about Castle, he's also kind
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: of in that dead zone like you mentioned with Jalen
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: Durham early earlier, where I think a lot of it's
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: going to be standing down and then spending up, starting
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: with scrubs type approach to this slate for sure.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Brian, we will get to that right now actually
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: because where we talk about this game right now, but
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: he will definitely be seeing the court tonight. Washington Wizards.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: I guess, let me go through my grizzlies real quick.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: I think that it's a max one, potentially max two
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: if you're doing one fifty max. And there's really three
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: guys that I'm considering. Spencer, Clayton Junior, and Gireau are
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: the three. I think Cam Spencer in particular is interesting
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: because he does have that small forward eligibility and is
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: actually a good permanent producer. So he's a guy that
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: I'd be looking at a little bit tonight Washington at Utah.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: I mean arguably one of the biggest tanking games of
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: the season for the Jazz. They are it's getting close
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: between them and Dallas now and a loss here with
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: sure help them because they are pretty close to the King.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: So I think getting, you know, letting the Kings pass
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: them would be huge here. But I think it's gonna
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: be really tough with Washington really tanking it up here,
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: but Utah only favored by four Tonight, I'll go through
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: the outtags on both sides. On the Wizards, all these
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: guys are basically done for the season, but Cam Whitmore,
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: Trey Young, Kishan, George D'Angel Russell has ensued up for
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: them and Anthony Davis, and then tonight they'll be without
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: Alex Sar, Trey Johnson, and Tristan Vuksevitch for the Jazz.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: No Kiante George, no, Isaiah Collier, no Sensiba, no Kyle Philipowski,
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: and then Lorie Nurkic, Jaron Jackson.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Walkerkeaster Alden for the year. Yeah.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: So I'll let you touch on the Wizards stuff first
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: and then I'll break down the Jazz. As the resident
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Jazz fan, I do have a little bit of a
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: take on what they're gonna do tonight. But yeah, go
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: through what you're seeing on the the Wizard stuff.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: First off, look at this ownership, like just all over
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: this game. I mean, good luck getting away from this ownership.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: Certainly the Utah side looks more appealing, but Washington impossible
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: to get away from. And from the Wizards, they'd you
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: start with Koolabali like Big Minutes right now. Fifty eight
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: hundred fills a weak position. He looks like the top
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: piece of Washington and getting owned as such. Then you
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: go down to the fringe pieces because all these guys
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: are fringy but wildly in play. My favorite is gonna
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: be bub fifty six hundred point guard and shooting guard
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: eligible goodspot for him, should play Big Minutes here.
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: He's my second favorite piece.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: Jaden Hardy in play forty one hundred, Sharif Cooper contrarian option,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: Anthony Gil Jamir Watkins.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: I'm not excited about those guys.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: Even at cheap price tags, but they have to be
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: a in play. Your ultimate goat, Will Riley. I don't
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: love him. I don't really want to send fifty seven
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: hundred on him here, but I can't say he's not
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: at least in play, you know what I mean, Like,
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: and we're both not really will Riley guys. So yeah,
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: you gotta get Washington exposure here. I don't think you
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: have to overload with Wizards, but I do feel that
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: Utah is gonna be higher owned, and part of me
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: is like, Okay, well then I'll play a little bit
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: more Washington than the field. And I think that's totally
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: a take to have. I don't think you have to
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: have that take, but I'm gonna have Wizards exposure here
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: in any lineup I make. I think it's unavoidable. How
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: do you see that? And the Utah side of this game.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: Pretty much agree with everything you said on Washington. For me,
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: I think Reese is the best option. I imagine he's going
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: to start tonight because when he does.
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: Plays, he's like not projected on Saber.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll that'll change.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: They I think they got him back up to like
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: they haven't an Yeah, they only have a nine minutes
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: right now, which is obviously not correct, but that'll come
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: way up. The guys that I don't expect to play
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: a lot, so I really want to be getting away
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: from the guys that are getting ownership on the Wizard
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: side that I don't think would play a ton of minutes,
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: So that would be like Justin's Champannee. I wouldn't be
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: surprised if he plays like ten minutes. I think that
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: you could probably. I mean, there's we've seen Coolbali play
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: deeper in a blowout. It's a little bit more worried
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: about his minutes and him kind of hitting in a
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: way that you would need to have because he's he's
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: actually been really good as a permanent guy. With this
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: current iteration of the roster, and also a jazz team
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: that does turn the ball over a lot, he could
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: really spike for a big Steels game. But yeah, I
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: don't know. I don't I don't think that Hardy really
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: does it for me personally. I think that the guys
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: that I like the most on Washington outside.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: Of Reese would be bub So I agree with you there.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: Point guard shooting guard eligibility is good, and we've seen
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: his minutes really get ran up regardless of game script.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: I would say that I I think I like Jimmy
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: or Watkins a little bit more than you, but mainly
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: because he's small for it eligible, and I think that
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: there's a chance that he starts again here and probably
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: playing thirty plus minutes.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: And then Shreef Cooper. I agree with you.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: I think that he's an interesting option because he's probably
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: going to be a little bit overlooked tonight. I think
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: he'll probably be in the single digits. And I mean,
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: I don't really necessarily think that he's a great player
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: by any means, but I mean, if Bub is going
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: to be so much higher on than him, then he's
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: definitely worth.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Looking to as a pivot.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: The only issues that he's point guard only it's a
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: pretty viable position, but you could play in my guard
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: for sure, because this is one of the later games.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: And then like guys that would keep an eye on
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: to start Leaky Black thirty seven hundred and I think
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: that's pretty much it for Washington. But yeah, really focusing
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: in on Reese and Bub the most from the Wizard side,
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: and then all those other guys that I mentioned.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: On the Utah side.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: I think Shibey is going to begin the start tonight,
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: so they they'll be down Philipowski and then they called
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: up Blake Henson, which I think is big because so
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: basically I was listening to a press conference from Will
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Hardy this morning, and he said that the emphasis moving
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: forward now is internal development and two way play. So
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: that tells me that Kevin Love and Spee are two
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: guys that are probably not playing tonight, which would give
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: them eight bodies. Cody Williams's question, I think that he'll
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: be back tonight. If he misses, then you're probably getting
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: Love or cv intoid rotation a little bit. Speed probably
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: makes more sense there. But I think with those quotes
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: kind of in mind, I think that they're gonna be
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: going with all younger guys in Love and Speed will
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: not play, so that's eight guys are gonna be playing.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: I think the front court mints at center will be
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: split between Sibwei and Blake Hinson because they do kind
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: of view him as like a I guess, like a
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: backup center, at least DraftKings does. And we've seen the
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Jazz bust out with the small ball lamp a lot
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: more like you don't need a big body against the Wizards.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: Their backup center is Anthony Gill, who's more like a
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: I think he might be like six seven, six', eight
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: so he's an undersized. Guy BUT i think she way
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: is an exceptional play tonight at three point seven k
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: an amazing rebounder in THE G, league kind of.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: Like a high effort.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: Guy so he's gonna go on after, boards and The
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: wizards have one of the worst rebounding teams in the,
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: League SO i think that there's almost no chance that
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: he doesn't put up a really solid score if he's starting.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: Tonight as for the rest of the, GUYS i, mean
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: you're the ace, guy So i'll let. You you're the ace,
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: whispers so let's you talk about. Him but just looking
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: at the numbers over the last couple of, GAMES i,
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: mean the role has been great for. Him thirty two
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: percent used to tread over his last, three averaging fifty
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: SIX dk points per. Game dropped thirty seven points last,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: night and The jazz rookie record is forty one, points
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: held By Donovan. MITCHELL i think that he could break that,
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: tonight but he he went nineteen three's last, game and
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: Even Will hardy said like he doesn't mind that he
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: took that many because it was kind of flowing to him.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Naturally it wasn't like a force. STAR i was nineteen Against,
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: milwaukee but he was saying that wasn't really like a
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: force nineteen. Threes it was just flowing to not going
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: out of his way like seeking these. Threes he's kind
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: of accepting more contact as, well getting into the line
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: when the game calls for, it really running into form
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: as a pro right. NOW i think That ace is
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: kind of just a wave that you have to ride
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: until it kind of. Breaks AND i think that this
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: is a really good spot for. Him and Then Kennedy
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: chandler going right back to. Him he had a i
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: think five point eight minutes a touchdown last, game led
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: the team, there let the team and potential assist gonna
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: be playing a. TON i think he does better than
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: he did in the last. GAME i was looking watching
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: that game actually Because i'm a siko AND i like
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: paying watching jazz. Games but he was missing some really
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: really easy, shots LIKE i think he airballed two or
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: three floaters airball to, three didn't take a ton of,
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: threes BUT i mean fel one.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: Assist shy the double double. BONUS i really think that.
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: He's a very strong plates And i'm gonna be on
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: but That's chuck That i'm totally fine.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: EATING i Think.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: Harkless is Probably chuck you could get away from there's
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: a chance that he bounces back here missed some really easy.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Shots but watching the, game they just weren't really using
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: him on ball as. Much they're obviously running a lot
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: of their offense through sense of ball and through a
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: so maybe with sensible out he does see a little
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: bit more of a bump in, usage but he's kind
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: of just standing in the corners of the. Game wasn't
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: really initiating the offense. EITHER i think that was More
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: Kennedy chandler's, Job SO i think that'd be One i'd
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: be okay getting away. From and the same thing For Bez.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: Bang he's just a defensive, specialist so it'd be easily
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: a max two Of, Harkless, chandler And. Bang AND i
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: Think contra is in play, too because there's a chance
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: that he goes small ball. Five they did that a
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: lot with him In, memphis Uh. Bee if there's anything
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: else you want to say about The jazz. STUFF i
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: Think hinson also in play, too power forward center. Eligible
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: i'd probably be a max two Of Conchars Wwayne hinson
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: BECAUSE i think those are probably the three guys that
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: get the front coor.
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: Minutes, Yeah i'm with you all around.
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: HERE i think that the thing that stands out the
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: most from this game is like when you look at,
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: projections look at the difference between The sabers and projection
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: and ship and projection of some of these guys Like
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: Kevin love to your, point projectives a really good play
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: from A sabers in, perspective projects is nothing from a
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: ship a Perspective League Black, champagne similar.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: Stories that's kind of the, nache like how.
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: It how the cookie crumbles IN NBA dfs right now
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: and you kind of have to navigate through those.
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: Waters that's just something THAT i.
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: Noticed as far as like your takes on the, Players
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: i'm completely in line with.
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: You my only hesitation With ace Is.
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: Man he's been two three five percent on the past double.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: Slates now he's going to be fifty.
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: Percent he should be because he's really coming into his,
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: own really really talented offensive. Game he's too cheap for
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: his role With Kyle Yer kyante market in now sensible all.
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: OUT i just say that the ownership is just, insane
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: BUT i mean it should. Be So i'm gonna play
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: a lot of this. Game shebey looks like probably the
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: best player on the. SLATE i think his ownership is
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: much higher than anyone's projecting right now because of how
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: good he looks. Like there's no, way in my, opinion
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: at least Hark list is the highest oone play from this,
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: game especially considering how last game played. OUT i Think, Chandler,
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: ace She, way And kolibaldi are all higher owned than,
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: him AND i like all of them more than. Him,
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: yeah so. WOW i don't know if that changed right
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: now or, like because now we Have chamber And sibe higher.
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: Owned so, YEAH i like a lot from this. GAME
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: i Like contraart.
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: Too they, Say i'm more interested in The utah guys
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: and The washington, guys but this game should be.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: Competitive tip. Spread you, know it's hard to get.
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: Away from just fully, loading and even with other good
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: spots on this, slate this one just looks that much.
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: Better at least that's HOW i read.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: It let me ask you a question about The ace,
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: stuff BECAUSE i do.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: Agree it's, like you, know big Sticker shock from what
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: we've seen from the last three, games prices up a little,
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: bit but the ownership is way up.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: There, obviously the matchup is. Great if he were to.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Underwhelm are you more likely to pivot to somebody on
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: the jazz BECAUSE i, mean technically he does have a
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: tougher matchup going Against, koolibali one of the better wing,
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: defenders but he also went off Against Scottie barnes' last,
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: game so he can do it against several. Defenders but
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: LIKE i, mean guys Like Paul george is two hundred dollars,
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: More Matas buzzellis is two hundred dollars. Less so there
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: are direct line pivots off Of A's but do you
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: think that it's more of like a pivot to somebody
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: on the jazz that would do well if he is
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: getting shut, down or like one of those straight line
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: pivots to Like george Or.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: MATAS i think because of where he's, priced it's more
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: of one of those straight line, pivots BECAUSE i think
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: there are ways where he's not great because he's missing
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: a ton of shots and it doesn't really help a
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: lot of other guys From. Utah the other side of
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: that Is i'm already playing the GUYS i want to
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: play From. Utah so Like Kennon chandler to a certain,
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: extent she, way but more Like. Chandler, YEAH i could See,
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: chandler you, know bumping up a little bit if you're
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: bumping Down.
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: Bailey But i'm already.
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: Playing, Chandler so there's no guy THAT i like want
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: to play instead of ace On. UTAH i think it's
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: more about just like he's missing, shots he's not. Engaged
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: maybe they don't play him as many minutes, tonight like
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: just weird scenarios because we know he's not. Consistent that's
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: not like the part of his game that to write
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: home about. Yet he's suber, talented but consistency isn't there,
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: Yet SO i like him a lot. Tonight like you,
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: said he could break the rookie scoring record for The
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: jazz To, knight but wouldn't be like the craziest thing
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: in the world if utupules an okie doke and he
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: doesn't play as many minutes or like, again he's missing,
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: shots and when young guys miss, shots they start to
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: become less, engaged.
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: Foul, trouble et.
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: Cetera like there are ways this plays out where he,
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: Underwhelms and for me it's you mentioned the sticker. Shot
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: it's the ownership sticker. SHOT i think he's too cheap
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: for his current. Role but, man like you get a
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: guy WHO i liked last night that certainly the spot
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: was harder on, paper but doesn't even matter with his
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: current role coming in as like five. Percent now he's
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: going to be fifty. Percent that's that's tough to, swallow you.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Know, YEAH i agree with everything you.
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: SAID i think That Cody williams might as grossly it
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: sounds because we kind of know we know About Cody,
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: williams but he's a guy that they are very invested
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: in to. DEVELOPING i feel like If ace at all is,
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: limited not, limited but like if he gets shut down
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: a little bit By, coolibali the offense has to flow
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: through somebody, else AND i feel Like Cody williams could
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: be that.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Guy.
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah like all that being, said, Also i'm just gonna
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: Play ace If i'm playing one, lineup you know WHAT i? Mean,
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: Like i'm you can Make devil's ad goot cases to
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: get away from. Him like he's at the price tag
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: now where you need a big, score but he's most likely,
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: underpriced which is why the ownership is. There And i'll
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: find ways to get different.
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: Elsewhere, YEAH i, mean it's gonna be HONESTLY i think
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: it's really tough For race and not do good to great.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: Tonight JUST i, Mean i've obviously watched a lot Of,
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: jazz AND i pay attention to all the press conference
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: and everything they say about, him you, Know Will hard
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: and all that, stuff and he just looks like a
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: completely different player these last few. GAMES i think he's
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: really just rounding into.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Form in a big. Way and, yeah go, Ahead.
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: NO i was just gonna say kind of a piggyback
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: on the question you just asked, me, Though LIKE i will,
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: say last, NIGHT i think the big reason why his
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: ownership was very low was because you Had Dyson daniels
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: basically the same price.
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: Tag, yeah argiveratt.
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: TOO i feel like, tonight If Jalen johnson is, out
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: you almost have the reverse. Scenario people will not Play
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: Dyson daniels nearly as much Because Aast.
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: Bailey is right.
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: There so, like you could totally talk me into flipping
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: the script and Playing daniels Over, ace even THOUGH i
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: fully Recognized ace is a better, play projects better et,
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: cetera AND i will Play.
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: Ace but we know HOW dfs.
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: Works it's an ownership, game SO i think there's cases
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: to be made for at least sinking that, out you,
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: know yeah for.
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah great. Breakdown, DEFINITELY i think that was worth talking. Through,
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: yeah we both liked COOL bali not much more to.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: Add there can go back a few minutes and Then,
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: JOSE i think that the last couple of minutes should
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: answer your, Question.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Uh, say what's up to our? Boy title? Town what's
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: going on? Man titletown DASH tp EIGHT, wq what's going?
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: On all?
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: RIGHT i think that should cover it For utah tonight
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: or for this. Game but, yeah definitely. One you're gonna
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: have to get into it one way or. ANOTHER i
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: think this game is gonna be very, strong BUT i
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: would say it's just be a little bit cautious about
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: how much you're playing because even on an eight game,
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: SLATE i don't know if we're gonna need like five
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: to six from one, game probably four from this. ONE
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: i think preferably like three to four would be would
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: be good in this. One but, YEAH i think that
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: The utah side looks looks really good here.
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: All.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: Right last game in the Slate houston At. Minnesota huge
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: game for The Western conference. Standings double check the. STANDINGS
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: i Believe houston is one game. ABOVE i have to double,
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: check BUT i think one of these, games these are
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: the fifth and sixth seeds, regardless so really, GAME i
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: think we're gonna see extremely tight, rotations which we pretty
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: much have seen all year long from both these. Teams
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: SO i feel like this is kind of the perfect
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: storm in terms of guys playing a lot of minutes
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: because both teams do not both these coaches don't really
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: trust going deep into their. Bench we've seen seven to
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: eight man rotations from both sides in this, one but
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: even more so, here like it's going to be a
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: six to seven man rotation.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Here so a lot to.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: Like and then we also have a question tag On,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: iodasumu which would open up more value in the forms
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: Of Bones, highland WHO i think.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: Would look great.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: Here The rockets defense has been slipping a little bit
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: as of, late AND i don't want to point any,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: fingers But Reach shepperd did recently join the starting lineup
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: a few games ago and is very huntable on. Defense
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: their rim defense has been, fine but they're giving up
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: a little bit more threes as of, late and the
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: pick and roll defense For minnesota is still a big,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: issue but they have fixed their rim.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: Defense as of.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: Late, YEAH i wouldn't be surprised if The rockets go
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: back to tari here, tonight just with how bad the
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: defense has. Been we'll, see, though they probably probably give
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: it another game or two if it does go. Poorly
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: but we're seeing a lot of the offense really just
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: run Through sengoon And Kevin. Durant they're really leaning on
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: these guys. HEAVILY i Think Seng gun is another very
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: strong center option, tonight even in a, borderline you, know bad.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: Matchup you could say what you want About Rudy, gobert
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: BUT i still Think segun does enough of the peripheral
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: stuff that kind of negates the matchup just a little
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: bit tougher to get.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: To.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: Though you got to compare him to all the centers
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: that we've already talked, about like The, wembs The, Durham Bam,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: reese And. Shebwei so he'll definitely get, overlooked but probably rightfully.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: SO i don't know if we're going to be getting
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: another one of those seventy five point, performances but he's
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: gonna be playing thirty six minutes tonight for. SURE i
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: Think Kevin durant is probably a little bit easier to get,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: to but he will be going up Again jada McDaniels
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: tonight they Got Kevin. Durant we Got jaden McDaniel's matchup,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: here but a point nine K i think that's fair
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: for him playing probably forty minutes. AGAIN i Think minnesota
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: is probably a tougher side to get, to BUT i
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: think all in, all this should be a fun, game
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: probably the second best game on the slate from a viewer,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: standpoint behind That BOSTON okc one uh be a talk
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: to me about this.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 5: One, YEAH i see this similarly as you. Like the
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: appeal from this game.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: Is the competitive nature of it and the fact that
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: these teams both run limited. Rotations From, MINNESOTA i think
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: they become a lot more appealing With io being out
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: if that. Happens so then you got Like bones and
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: even like A Kylei anderson who would likely be come into,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: play but Mostly, bones who right now is interesting in.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: Tournaments That that's about, it just how this slate plays out.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 5: After. That man tough to prioritize The wolves, here like
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: Nas reid has upside at that. Tag BUT i think
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 5: there's a reason that.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: None of these guys are getting, ownership AND i think
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: it'll stay that way unless this soon moves.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 5: Out houston looks, better BUT i don't love them.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 4: Either LIKE kd in play at eighty nine, hundred really
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 4: good eligibility. Here they've added shooting guard to go along
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 4: with that small, forward so.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 5: Easy to, fit not a prohibitive.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: Tag fine with, him but not a Guy i'm personally
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: building around more than, likely especially With luca talked About
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: gideon Edgecomb, wemby like it takes me.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 5: A bunch of lineups to want to just build AROUND.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: Kd that, said, like he's only eighty nine, hundred so
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: you could play him with one of those other, Guys
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: and if my bill lands like, that Then i'm fine
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 4: playing him Reed, sheppard presuming he's.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: Starting we've seen the. Upside i'm good with.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: Him he's probably my favorite piece just because of the price,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: tag but hard to prioritize it at the guard. POSITION
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: i was all Over sangoon last time out against The,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: bulls was especially in the second half triple. Doubled i'm
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: less inclined to get to him, tonight just a much tougher.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: Spot price tag is, higher and we've got better center,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: options SO i like him in the sense that he's
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: a great tournament played with, upside but lastly he was
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 4: in a much better spot and wasn't getting.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 5: Owned tonight he's in a much tougher.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: Spot SO i get it as a stand up to
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 4: be contraried, in but that's all it is for me.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: There so all in, ALL i could see playing a
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: couple pieces from this, Game BUT i could also see
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: not and just letting it ride and playing a lot From, Washington,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: utah and then filling in from wherever else it, Is, Miami.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 5: CLEVELAND i, mean we made.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: Cases that we talked about how good of a slate
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: this is in terms of, being you, know every game
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: pretty much being. Viable so that's the reason WHY i
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: don't think you have to get to anything from this.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 4: Game but on the flip side of, that this game
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: is viable in. Itself so if you want to plant your,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: Flag i'm playing one of the stand ups From houston
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: and MAYBE i out and you play a couple of
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: guys From. MINNESOTA i can get on board with. THAT
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 4: i just don't think that's How i'm going to play.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: It, yeah fair as somebody that plays fewer, LINEUPS i
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: think that makes a lot of sense for. Me i'm
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: going to be bumping these guys up for sure in
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: MY mmm build BECAUSE i do think that the entire,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: team really the entire game is. Underprojected from a minute,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: Standpoint Like Kevin, DURANT i, feel you know it's gonna.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: Be it's hard to put somebody at forty minutes because
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: things can, happen, injuries foul potential or foul risk or blowout,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: potential things like.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: That but if the game is.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: Close Which vegas expected expected to, be he's playing forty.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: Minutes AND i Think Sam goon thirty three minutes That
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: saber has is three to four minutes too. LOW a
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: man's probably playing thirty eight. FORTY i Think randall's probably
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: playing like thirty six to thirty, seven Like io is
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: gonna be playing a ton if he's.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: In jay McDaniels At.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: Randall randall's interesting to me in tournaments with like no
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: one getting there with his. UPSIDE i we've seen it without,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: Bands so, yeah you're selling me a little bit on this,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: game kind of like The Lakers pacers, game just in
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: terms of there being untapped upside because people aren't going here, Really.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah for, Sure and it can only get. BETTER i
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: think that if there will be ways to pivot Onto
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: bones if we do get the news before That washington And,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: Washington utah game tips. Off so that's kind of an interesting,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: pivot if you get that, right kind. OF i, MEAN
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: i honestly like, that regardless if you're landing On harkless
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: OR i Guess chandler LIKE i do Like chandler more
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: Than bones by a pretty wide, margin But i'd consider
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: Playing bones Over harkless. Same, so, YEAH i think this
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: game is, interesting just a huge game for the. STANDINGS
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: i think we could really really see some tight rotations
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: for each site in this, one which you just have
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: to have a lot of interest.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: In but all, right that's gonna do it a great.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: Show as, Always durren's probable he'll play. Tonight, yeah this
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: is ONE i. THINK i talked about this with one
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: of our guys In discord On saturday Or. Sunday BUT
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: i do think that if they had Van fleet that
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: would make all the difference for. Them this year just
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: brings a, veteran calming presence that they don't have When
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: Kevin durant's off the, court and that's why you SEE
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: kd playing so many. MINUTES i, mean he's almost a
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: couple of years away from being forty and he's playing
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: forty minutes a, Night like that's just. Crazy you'd expect
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: more from the younger, guys BUT i Think Van fleet
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: is a guy that they're really really missing this.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: Season.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah even beyond, That, Like i'll take it a step
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: farther BECAUSE i also. Agree but as good as the rant,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 4: Is Van vliet is more of a locker room leader
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: in my. OPINION kd is obviously the better, player but
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: he's more of a, loner isolation. Guy Van VLIET i
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: feel like has been the leader in almost every locker
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: room he's been.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: In so, Yeah i'm totally in agreement with.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 4: YOU i feel like when he's, healthy if he had
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: been healthy this, year he would be that out of their.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: Snake even though he's not the most talented he's been,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: there he's. One i'm a big bad league, guy just
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: in terms of his ability to lead a. TEAM i
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 4: guess it is the best way to put.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: It, Yep, YEAH i agree with one hundred. PERCENT i would,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: say if you're in our, discord we'll definitely have the
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: slate plan up that will have all, that but usually
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: just a. Projection it's tough to go through. THAT i
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: think we broke down the slate so you can kind
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: of get an. Idea are we getting we gotta get
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: out of, here BUT i think we Get philly. Stuff,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: yeah that's all. Good we'll get that over in. Discord but,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: yeah that's going to do it. Tonight matt always a. Pleasure,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: also yesterday did kind of prematurely mentioned that we will
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: that today was the Last ambia.
• 1:08:47

• 1:08:48
