• 1:07
  Speaker 2: great show last Friday night. I appreciate y'all picking me up.

  Speaker 2: What's going on, man, how you been. It's been a

  Speaker 2: long time since we've done a show.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: I feel like, Yeah, I always missed doing the shows
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: at you in the beginning of the season, so it's
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: good to get back on talking here with you. But
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: how was the surgery? Everything going good over there?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, everything's going good. Just some just some little minor hernia.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Surgery got taken care of, so I'm back feeling good.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: You know, you lay around for a couple of days

  Speaker 3: Congrats on your night the other night.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: That was a heck of a team that you had
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the other night, Colin, Welcome to the show.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: We got five games to break down tonight.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: It's an interesting slate for me, Rio, because you got
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: two what I would call good real life games. You
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: got three absolutely duds with tanking teams, people being out,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: what have you.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: But I'm looking forward to it. We'll get right into it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Before we get going, make sure you hit that like,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: make sure you hit that subscribe button. We're gonna give
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you a lot of breakdown, especially from my guy Rio.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Nobody better in the NBA streets on that we bring
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: these shows to you live five days a week. So Rio,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: what do you say we get right into the first game,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: and it's one of those games I alluded to earlier.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a preview of the NBA East Finals.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe got the Cavaliers, new look Cavs with James Harden,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: who's got the thumb, he's questionable taking on these Pistons.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: We were talking a little pre show Kate Cuttingham moving
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: up the MVP charts. Shae would have something to say
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: with that. He's back tonight.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about him here in a little bit, but
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: still no.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: By tonight and taking on these Pistons. Mitchell's out correct, Rio, Yep,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: he's out.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thoughtso. I thought he was out. But talk
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to me a little bit about this game.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You got the Calves with hardness, questionable taking on this
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Pistons team. One other thing too, before I passed it over.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: To Jalen Duran. Man, he's been he's been a beast.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I saw them play the Spursday and I know they
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: got be but man, he's a man amongst boys.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Been been killing it. Talked to me a little bit
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: about this game. Calves at the Pistons.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you on Duran, absolute specimen of
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: a human being, just extremely athletic, and really kind of
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: bringing back the old school style of center play. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: feel like, not a stretch big, just a beast and
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: the rebounds great, great offensive rebound A really good scorer
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: in the basket. So a big fan of Jalen Duran.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I think the upside is really big for the Pistons Obviously,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: I think they have title aspirations this season, but a
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: couple of years on the line, they could be one
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: of the best teams. I mean, they kind of already
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: are one of the best teams in the NBA, but
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: they could really be really solid. So definitely high in
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Detroit basketball right now. But yeah, theyre coming off a
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: big win, bounce back win against the short handed OKAC team.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Okay see helped like hung around for most of the game.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Massive night for J dub Sorry jay Lynn Williams not
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: J Dubb. But yeah, they'll be facing another short handed
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Cavs team. No Donovan Mitchell, no Dean Wade. Tonight Harden
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: and Kean Ellis are both questionable. Kind of expecting Harden
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: to miss this game based off the comments from coach
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Atkinson basically said that they would be covered if they
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: if he were to If you were to miss any
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: time he viewed Dennis Schroeder as the starting point guard
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: in the NBA, so he also had a big rap
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: on his hand the last game. I just feel like
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: there's a good chance that he misses. I saw some
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Twitter doctor saying this was kind of like a six
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: to seven game injury, and I had to pause right
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: there because you just caught me pre show talking about
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: the six to seven ship. But yeah, it's like a
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: it's like a six game injury. Normally he said he
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: was going to play through it, but this is only
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: like a couple of days removed from the reporting, so
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I had to have a feeling that he's gonna tonight.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: But the defense, honestly, it'll get better with hard enough
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: the court, and we know he's not that great of
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: a defender. Dennischroeder is a pretty good defender. But they
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: kind of can offset that a little bit because Dean
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Wade is going to be out and I was expecting
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Dean Wade to be on Kate Cunningham, so it's a
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: better matchup for kid. He's just gonna have such a
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: big size advantage over whoever else is going to be
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: guarding him. And then for Detroit, on defense. They continue
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: to be one of the best things the NBA Elite
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: room protection, elite rebounding, but they're still a pretty big
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: three point finals. I think some of these awful scoring
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: options for the Calves will definitely be in play here,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: and I have a ladder bet for you and some
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: of the viewers tonight as well. But yeah, so my
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: interest in the Caves is largely dependent on the availability
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: of James Harden should get a really big role coming
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: from Dennis Schroeder if he's out again, although it's a
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: much tougher matchup against Asar Thompson, but the role should
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: be big enough where it shouldn't the match up shouldn't
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: matter as much. He had seven point five minutes of
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: touch time last game, eight potential assists or twenty six
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: points and thirty five minutes a really really big role
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: coming for him. He'd be one of the top value
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: plays on the slate. If Harden does miss this game,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: despite the tough matchup. Don't really think I have too
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: much interest in the Bigs, and I expect Evan Moby
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: to still be on a soft minutes restriction. I would
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: imagine he gets closer to thirty now and the role
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: should be really good for him. I think that from
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: a per minute standpoint, he'll look really good. But the
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: upside is a little bit capped because the minutes are
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: capped as well. And then this is just not the
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: spot for Joe Allen. He's been pretty much held in
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: check against a guy like Jalen Durance. I'd take the
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: underweight stance on both the bigs, but then the guys
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I would look to on the Cavs outside of whoever
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: starting at point guard would be Jalen Tyson. I think
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: he's gonna play a ton of minutes here, might get
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: some of the cat assignment as well, so he should
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: be playing a lot of minutes for that matchup. But
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: his role bounce back in a pretty big way over
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: his last two games. He was kind of being deemphasized
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: and out of the rotation in large part due to
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: James Harden coming to the team and just kind of
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: getting him acclimated. But he played thirty one minutes in
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: his last two games, score thirteen points per game, nine rebounds.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: So Philip the stats a little bit. He's gotten ice
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: cold from shooting shot like I think like ten percent
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: or twenty percent over his last couple of games, but
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: he is a season long forty seven percent three point shooter,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: so there's a good amount of upside for him, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: the same could be said for Sam Meryl. He's the
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: guy that I think you could look at for overs
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: in the betting market, in the ladder's market because he's
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: a really, really good shooter and all of his shots
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: are going to come from beyond the arc. So I
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: do think that this is a good spot for him
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: against a team like Detroit where they're going to be
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: leaving some of those guys open a little bit. So
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: I think Merrily and Tyson really solid scoring upside. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: then if hardenwore to miss and it's Craig Porter Junior
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: that's backing up Dennis Schroeder, I would have interest in
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: him because there is a lot of foul trouble that
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: comes for Dennis Schroeder guarding Kate Cunningham. And also Schroeder
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: was questionable coming into today, got upgraded throughout the days.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: He's got an ankle injury which could get reaggravated at
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: any time, so I think you do get a little
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: bit of leverage there if he does get into foul
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: trouble or if he gets reinjured mid game, and we've
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: seen Craig Porter Junior have some really really big upside
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: at times when he's filling in and for some of
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: these guards for the Detroit side of things, definitely think
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: you can make a case for Cad and during, but
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: these prices are really really high up there. It's gonna
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: be a much better spot for Caid with no Dean Wade,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: but he's eleven K. Now, the defensive rating does drop
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: in a pretty big way when you take Dean Wade
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: off the court, and their pick and roll defense is
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: going to get much worse. They drop from one to
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: eleven defensive rating to one fifteen with Wade off the court.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: So I think the individual matchup is pretty solid for Cad.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: It's just a matter whether or not he can hit
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: a ceiling at eleven K one that we'd really need
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: on this type of slate where the mid tier might
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: look a little bit better. So I'm okay with him.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Not in love with him as a play by any means,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: but I think he's fine. Same thing for Jurney, for
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Jayalen during excuse me, he's done really bad against Jared Allen.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: I think that Allen matches up with him really well,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: just a kind of like an offsetting talent between those
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: two guys, but he's failed the top forty one and
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: a half DK points in his career matchups against Jared Allen,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: and he's held him to under thirty one DK points
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: per game. The upside for during is that Cleveland is
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: a below average rebounding team, so we've just seen him
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: put up huge games recently, so I think that there's
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: a path website for him, but don't really see it tonight.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: And then the same thing for us are Cleveland's a
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: pretty good turnover to They don't really commit a ton
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: of turnovers, they're really decent in transitions. I think those
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: are two spots where you'd really want to get a
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: big game out of us R. And I just don't
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: know if this is the one for him, but maybe
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: there's a little bit more usage going his way if
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Kate does get shut down.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, excellent breakdown there.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to do it, but I feel like
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I'm obligated to do it because someone brought up in
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the chat this morning in our discord, which I thought
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: was pretty funny. And I know he's questionable, but what
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: about my boy Kean Ellis any love for mister Ellis
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: tonight at thirty nine hundred should he get in coming
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: off a twenty eight minute performance last game? You didn't
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: mention him, so I'm assuming you don't have any love
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: for him, especially if James Harden wortem.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: As No, I would definitely consider him. But he's also
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: dealing with a fractured finger as well, so it's kind
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: of his is that's an off ball shooting hand, so
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: it's the same thing. He should be fine if he
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: does play. It's just a injury injured like that's pain
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: tolerance things. I think he should be fine if he
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: does play. But yeah, probably looking to the other guys
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: that I mentioned, he.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Might actually shoot it better if it was on a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: shooting hand, because that guy absolutely stinks. Man. I can't
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: stand that guy. But are there any Are there any
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: rules that you would or groups that you would set
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: if Harden were to miss.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: I would probably just be Max One of CpG, Craig
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Porter Junior, and Dennis Schroeder, And that's probably it because
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I and then like Max One, you're not really considering
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Thomas Bryant or like Procter and Nance or anything. So
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: that's that's probably the one one I would say. I
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: don't think you'd want more than like three Cavs, I think,
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: but I would expect the minutes to be pretty condensed
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: between Tyson, Merrill, Schroeder, Mobley and Allen.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: And then would you play Kate and Durham in the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: same team or is it a max one of them?
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: It's never a max one because they are negatively correlated.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: It's just more so if you don't want to eat
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: up that much salary on the same team. I wouldn't
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: really be going on my way to make that rule because,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: if anything, they correlate more positively than anything.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: All right, excellent stuff there. Appreciate the questions. We're gonna
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: move on to the next game, and I can promise
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: you one thing. This next game will not be a
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: preview of the East Finals. It is the tanking Nets
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: taking on the Celtics. So you talked about CPJ, now
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: we talked about MPJ cost him a boy in the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: chat six hundred and fifty dollars last night, he said,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: But we march on. This game is slated to be
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: a blowout and the Nets are not interested in winning
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: any more. Basketball games. I don't think they would win
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: anyway in this one, though I love these Celtics. Tonight
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: D White, JB. Sam Houser, Peyton Pritchard coming off the
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: bench was bawling. I think it was the other night
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: against the Lakers Sunday night. If it was, he was hoping.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: But talk to me about this game. It's never the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: nets for me, always the Celtics in this matchup. But
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: talk to me nets at Boston.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna I might need a stall for a little
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: bit because I got my dogs in the room right now.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: They're kind of barking, but hopefully they'll they'll keep it
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: down while I break this game down. But I agree
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: with you, I think just don't really think there's too
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: much to talk about on the nets side. It's been
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: pretty short and sweet and just very simple. Breaking down
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: the nets this season, you just max one. If you
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: get zero, you find with that more often than not,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: they're not going to end up on winning rosters. There
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: is a hole defensively for the Celtics or on the
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: Celtics that you can attack. Don't really know if Brooklyn
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: is a team that could crack it, but Boston is
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: bottom two in defensive three point frequency. This season, they
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: just take away all rims scoring and they will let
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: up some easier threes. Brooklyn is top five and offensive
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: three point frequency. The guys that stand out there as
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: their main three point shooters would be Yegor Demon, Noah Clowney,
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Michael Porter Jr. And then if you want to get
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: like really gross and just hope you run into a
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: more minutes and like a hot shooting night from one
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: of these guys, Oshai Baji is big just shooting threes.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: And there's been times where though not play guys like
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Trey Mann and uh or sorry Terrence Man and some
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: of these other players that just aren't really good. So
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: there's a chance that he could see more minutes. Did
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: play twenty eight against Cleveland, so there's a chance that
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: you run into even then though, if you do get
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: the minutes right, you still need to get the outcome right.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: And feels like a very small percentage chance that happened.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: So Max one of Brooklyn stuff fine with zero. I
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: think that if I was playing a Jalen Brown type tonight,
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: which obviously I think the matchup's great. He's shown a
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: pretty wide range of outcomes in this matchup in particular,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: though he went as low as forty DK points and
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: then as high as sixty five against them. The sixty
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: five came in a double overtime games that was like
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: the ninety nine percent of outcome for Brooklyn. Really, I
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: think he more often than I will land somewhere in
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: like the mid to upper forties. But there's a good
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: chance that the minutes get cut down here with it
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: with Boston being favorite boy nearly twenty points, I don't
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: really want to go crazy correlating a guy like Jaylen Brown,
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: but to me it does make bit sense. Like if
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: you're getting a true ceiling game from him at nine
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: point eight k, which would need to be in like
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: the fifty five to sixty point range, unlikely he does
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: that in like twenty eight minutes. I would imagine it
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: comes in a close game. So I think it makes
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: a little bit of sense to pair him with an MPJ,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Clowney or Clackson. Those are like the three main guys
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: I think would be able to keep the game close
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: and play deeper if the game does get close throughout.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I just don't really I don't really think
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be going to Jalen Brown tonight. See he's
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: getting some ownership, probably just to rush the construction standpoint,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: but I'm probably gonna be looking elsewhere. Brooklyn is bottom
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: three and turnover percentage of season, So it's pretty good
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: for Derek White as a high upside option eight point
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: two k showing it a couple of times this season.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: If he has a few stocks to his stat line,
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: He's a guy that could pay off in less minutes.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: They paint Pritchard the way that his rotation lines up,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: there's a chance that he plays deeper into blowout because
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: he checks in about halfway through the first and the
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: third quarter, so he should get like the first six
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: minutes of the fourth regardless, and then if it's like
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: a really big blow they might give him like an
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: extra two or three minutes. And then Nimius Kida, I
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: think I'll sprinkle in some of him because it's just
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: such a good matchup with how bad the rem protection
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: and rebounding is for the Nets this season.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: What's up with my Boy and Nicole of Vukevich Man?
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: That guy sixty three hundred, he's five thousand dollars on
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Fandel They traded for my Boy and then he just
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: they don't play him. I guess they think this kDa
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: kid is just like the second coming. But what's been
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: his issue with Vukevich since he's gotten over to Boston.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's really an issue. I don't think
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: they were expecting him to come in and like take
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: over the starting center spot. I think it was just
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: a depth thing and they didn't really view Simon's as
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: like a winning piece right now. So it made sense
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: because they were pretty pretty thin in the front court
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: behind Kada, and he's not really somebody that is extremely reliable.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: So I feel like come playoff time, a guy like
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: vuk could could pop off in some of those games.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: All right, I hope you're right. I like him, But uh,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: what are they saying on Jason Tatum. I think he's close,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: But are they saying he's going to be back for
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the playoffs?
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: He could be as back as soon as next week.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Man, that's insane. You better watch out for those seas
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: if he does get back. In any event, moving on
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: to the next game could be a decent game. My
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: boy News was in here earlier. No Greek freak, but
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: we got the knicks. He got the cover. Boy at
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Carl Anthony Towns going into the Bucks. These Bucks, they're
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: always fun. I fuck, They're always in the shootouts with
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: KPJ and Ryan Rollins hooping in there. Kyle Kusman has
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: been balling a little bit, poured us off the bench.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: This game not really a good game per se, but
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I think that has some DFS some goodness in there. Rio,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: talk to me a little bit about this game. You
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: got the knicks at the Bucks?
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Could you repeat the things he said in the last
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: ten seconds? I had to close my door.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: No, No, all good.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I was just talking, well, I was talking about how
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: KPJ and Ryan Ryan Rollins always seemed to be balling
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: out in the DFS streets. The Bucks always seem to
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: be playing these high, high scoring affairs. I think this
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: game is probably gonna be a little bit better than
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: maybe the spread of eight and a half indicates. But
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: any love for the cover boy Cat, any love for
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: JB Jaln Bronson or any of these Bucks that I
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: just alluded to.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I almost always have interest in KPJ and Rawlins
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: because a lot of times we're getting a good enough
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: score from these guys where they can be viable and
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: single untry stuff, and I think even more so tonight,
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: where it's a smaller slate, that there's a better chance
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: for them to be optimal. But yeah, I agree, the
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Bucks have been involved in some really fun games as
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: of late. They've actually won eight of their last ten,
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: so making a push for the playoffs. And it sounds
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: like Giannis will be back tonight, which definitely makes them
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: a contender anytime that he's available. But their defense still
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: has not been that great. They're a big three point funnel.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: They've kind of been better rebound the ball, and I
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: think a lot of that is due to Miles Turner
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: playing a lot less because that guy just absolutely stinks.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: And the Knicks, like, I don't really know if they
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: deserve to be favored by eight and a half. I
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: get it, like the Milwaukee's not super scary, but the
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Knicks they don't look great right now either. I mean,
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: they're coming off a really embarrassing loss to Cleveland. I
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: get at Cleveland looks really good right now, but I
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: mean it's just kind of all over the place for them. Defensively,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Kat is down so bad right now. He attempted just
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: five field goals last game, committed as many turnovers in
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: that game, five turnovers. Just awful role for him this season,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: and I honestly think that he's at a risk of
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: losing minutes at any moment with Mitchell Robinson active. Mitch
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: rob just is a better fit right now, because it's
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: hard when your two best players are so bad defensively
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: that it's one of them like something's got to give.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: And I don't think you're benching Brunson, So I do
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: think that kat his minutes are very, very risky here.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Don't have a lot of confidence in him, but I
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: am quite enticed by the matchup and hypothetical upside that
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: he has at eight point five K because it is
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: a good spot for him if he can get up
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: some three point atteps. He's been rebound the ball pretty well.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: But I just think that Mitch robb is playing too
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: good to keep him off the court right now. But
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Brunson should see a good bit of Ryan Rollins here.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: He's done well against him in their head to head matchup,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: averaging twenty seven point three points per seventy five. Been
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: cruising this season, averaging thirty six and a half points
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: per game against them, just under forty nine DK points
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: so he's definitely definitely viable in nine K. Don't really
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: have anything negative say about him. I think there is
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: a good bit of upside for some of these secondary
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: options Josh Hart mckal bridges. With the Bucks being below
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: average in transition, at least in terms of points per possession,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: they do give up a lot of transition frequencies, so
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: teams that are able to get out and run against them.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: They're twenty fifth defensively points possession wise in transition, so
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: sets up pretty well for both McHale bridges and Josh Hart.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: And then the Bucks are also bottom four in defensive
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: three point frequency, so guys like Landry Shammitt, Josey Alvarado,
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: and then to a lesser extent, og Nanobi and Miles
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: mckal bridges are all set up pretty well there. I
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: think Alvarado and Shaman are pretty interesting at their price tags.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Elvarado in particular just because he's such a high energy
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: guy and can fill the stat sheet pretty quickly. We
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: saw him against Philly go eight for thirteen from deep,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: so a pretty good spot for Alvarado and Shaman in particular.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: On the Bucks side of things, really just gonna be
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: KPJ and Ryan Rawins. For me, KPJ just had an absurd
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: role since returning from the injury eight games ago, basically
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: the beginning of the month. He's a forty six percent
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: involvement percentage forty four percent on ball, roll points per
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: game are up from sixteen point eight to twenty two
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: point four. Assistant potential assist are both up as well.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: His three point percentage has been way down, but he
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: did bounce back in a pretty big way his last
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: three games, going forty three percent from deep, although I
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: think it was it might have been on limited volumes,
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: just not taking a ton of the threes right now,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: but good to see him bounce back there shooting the ball.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Gonna be Michael Bridges on him tonight, I would imagine,
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: and I really like that matchup because McHale is just
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: not the same defender that he was when he was
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: with Phoenix, So I think that's a pretty good spot
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: to attack with Kevin Port Junior, and the same thing
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: for Ryan Rawlins. If they do put Brunson on Rawins,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: which I don't know if that's the route that they
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: would go, then I think it's a really good spot
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: to be over on Ryan Rawlins and maybe flip the
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: exposure if you're gonna be like, I don't know what
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: KPg comes in that i'd imagine in like the twenties
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: we have him. I just want to check real quick. Yeah,
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: like eighteen percent Rawlins at ten percent, I'd be fine
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: getting over on Rawlins, and I'd be fine getting over
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: in KPg two. But I do think that it's a
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: pretty pretty solid spot for Ryan Rawlins in particular, so
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: I want to get some of there. That's probably it,
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: though I don't think we're getting enough from the secondary
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Milwaukee guys. Fine Keethan Kuzman in the pool because there
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: are random times where we can have a good game.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Same thing for Bobby Portis, but Kim Thomas minutes are
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: really bad. With how well KPg and Ryan Rawlins are
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: playing right now, I just don't think that they need him.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: The Nicks killers Miles Turner as well from his Pacer days. Yeah,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: kat I saw something yesterday Rio with kat I Guess
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: and Mike Brown not seeing eye to eye or whatever.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Kat's been struggling this year. Kevin Porter Jr.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Was wild for me to see ninety six hundred dollars
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: on Fandel which is which is out of this world
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, and Axetron, Yeah, I apologize apologies if
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I was saying that he is not in today and
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: you're just confirmed that yet Giann is still out with
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: the calf. Appreciate you putting that in there, Max one
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: of Kat and Mitch Rob For me, I would say, yes,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you, hebrewt Cheetah, Yes, yeah, I
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: would agree with that as well.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: All right, moving on to the next game.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: If you haven't done so already, got two hundred fifty
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: in here, watching makes you hit that, like, make sure
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: you're heading out subscribe for us. We've broken down the
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: first three games, gonna do the last two night, last
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: two four tonight, and this one is gonna be a
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: gross game. Got the Grizzlies, Got my boy Tod Jerome,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: he is questionable, not likely to play. Grizzlies rolling out there.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: G League roster tonight, Mavericks, no Cooper flag. I saw
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: come across Nause Marshall coming off. What's he coming off?
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Forty point forty real life point game something crazy like that.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Let me look real quick.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Thirty six and ten and forty two minutes. So he had,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: he had the game of his season last time out.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: But yeah, everybody, I feel like pretty much everybody on
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: this Grizzlies team that's anybody's not playing Todd Jerome, John Morant, PJ.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Washington.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I know he's a map, but he's doubtful as well.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Your boy, the bag Man, Marvin Bagley out, Santi Aldama out.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: So talk to him about this game.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Is there anybody left to play on the Grizzlies, anybody
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: left to play on the Maps?
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean this is where the value comes from tonight,
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: and rightfully so. Both teams are fairly thin. The thing
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: that does worry me with the Mavericks in particular is
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: that they played their guys so many minutes last night.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Like Chris Middleton played thirty three minutes. Now she played
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: over forty. And now these guys are getting a ton
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: of ownership, mainly now she's going to be like sixty
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: percent owned, maybe even like eighty percent owned, and some
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: singleuntry stuff. I guess, so to start there, because I
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: do feel like taking an underweight stance on the old
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: guys with the speaking back to back makes a ton
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: of sense here. So like Naji Marshall, gonna be really
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: good from a role standpoint for the minutes that he's
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: on the court. These teams are tied in the standings
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: right now in the tank off, so a loss would
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: go a pretty big way for both of them if
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: they are looking to move up in the lottery standings.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: It's basically just them too. So whoever, I guess not
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: a ton really changes if they if they are the
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: seven to eight team seven to eight teams in the tanking.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: But I just feel like it's I want to get
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: away from the ownership on the older guys like Nause,
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: even like Gafford coming in with a ton ton of ownership.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: He might be a little bit tougher to get away
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: from because he's so cheap and it's such a good matchup.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: I've been mentioning a lot with Memphis that they're just
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: so within the front court. Although they did sign your
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: boy TODJH. Gibson forty years older.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Dodge Gibson. What's Chris Middleton? You You couldn't You couldn't
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: pay me to play that Chris Middleton. This dude's so fragile.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: He played twelve minutes, got injured the game before thirty
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: three you're telling me on the second night of a
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: back to back, Chris Middleton Hebrew gena the worst play
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: on the slate tonight, hands down.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: If forty percent of people are playing them on Fandel,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: you got a sixty percent leg worst play on the
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: slight Hebrew.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: I could definitely get behind that. Like, I'm not excited
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: about that. There's also a lot of talk about him
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: in the buy out market too, because I think he's
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: a guy that still can contribute to some teams that are,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: you know, playing in the playoffs pretty soon. But it's
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: just a matter of not matter or not whether he
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: wants to stay in Dallas and potentially play there next
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: year or not. I just don't really know what the
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: plan is for him. But yeah, I agree man back
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: to back, he was questionable yesterday, barely played the night before,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: and now he's on a back to back and projected
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: to get a lot of ownership. I'm more player, yeah,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: And I honestly feel that maybe not as much about
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Nagi because they've been more willing to play him a
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: lot of minutes, but he played a ton last night.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: So for me, the guys that I'm prioritizing on the
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Dallas side of things, Brandon Williams for sure is my
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: top play five point five K normally been pretty off
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: of him, but I just feel like this is a
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: spot where they will get a He'll get a longer
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: leash here. Another guy, Max Christy four point ak I
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: would be looking too, because I think that he'll get
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: a longer lease with no Klaie Thompson and then A. J.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Johnson at three K is the other guy that I'm
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: looking at here. I'm probably gonna have a lot of
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: those three guys and much less of the Nauseie Middleton
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: and then Gafford Like I'll probably end up with a
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Tons because he's so cheap, and even in even if
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: he only plays twenty minutes, I think that he could
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: pay off his price tag. But Dwight Powell will back
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: him up, so you can max one those two guys.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: And I think Powell deserves to get some ownership as
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: well because he's gonna play eighteen to twenty minutes in
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: a good matchup. So for the Memphis stuff, getting Taj
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Gibson out there will at least help their front court
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: depth because they've been running out a bunch of guys
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: that are probably more like small forward power forwards than
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: they are centers, with like Taylor Hendricks and o Max
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: prosper those types of guys. But it's been very easy
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: to get away from Memphis as of late, just because
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: they've been nobody's really running away with minutes and it's
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: a they've been on some bigger slates, so it's been
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: kind of easy to get away from ownership. I think
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: here it's a little bit tougher, mainly away Javon Small.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: I think that he's probably the best value playing the slate.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Him and Brandon Williams are one and two for me
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: at four point seven K. He's actually been playing really
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: well and I think that he's a guy that's got
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: at least some talent in the NBA, So I'm looking
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: at him. I think he's gonna start, he could play
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: twenty seven to twenty eight minutes. I think he's pretty
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: solid there. And then Scotti Pavit Junior. We know that
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: he's a good, permitted producer. He's had a really really
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: solid role with Jerome out this season, so I definitely
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: think that he's pretty solid at five point two K.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: But those are two guys I'm mainly prioritizing, and then
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: after that, I think you have to look at Gigi
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: Jackson just because he's doing so much on offense when
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: he's out there, but the minutes are capped and he's
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: six K, so he's not cheap ol max prosper I
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: guess I don't know. He's a guy that's kind of
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: running out of two A days pretty quickly, so they
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: might have to sit him tonight. With the addition of
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: Toash Gibson and then Taylor Hendricks at four point two
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: K with small four power Ford eligibilly pretty solid, a
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: little bit of positive coach speak from the Memphis coach
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: about him want to get more involved on offense. And
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: then as Gross says it is, I think Ryan Repair
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: is probably my third favorite option at three point seven K.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Mainly been a very very low permanent guy. But I
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: think you have to take that with a little bit
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: of gran salt because you look at who he's playing
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: with a lot of time with the Blazers, they had
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: a lot of high usage guys when he was playing there,
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: it's kind of just delegates to sitting in the corner.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: But with here with Memphis, they're very thin on talent
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: and just guys that they can actually play. So I
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: think that he's okay. He's the cheapest option as well
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: with the shooting guard small forward eligibility, So I'm fine
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: getting to Repair as a like a last man in
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: or if I just need a cheap small forward.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I've heard it all now here.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Cheetah, It's February twenty seventh and we're talking Ryan Repair on.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: A Best Basketball show. You didn't mention Walter Clayton.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Someone in the chat had mentioned Walter Clayton, So I'm
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: assuming you don't have any love for Walter Clayton.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Not really. But I will talk through some groups on
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: the Dallas side because I know that people like that.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: I guess they do Memphis that one's gonna be more
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: on the flight because I didn't writ anything down. But
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: for for Dallas obviously.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Sorry, go ahead, what is it? Uh and small together.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll go through the enophis stuff when we'll get there.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: For Dallas it is Max one of Gafford and Dwight Powell,
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Max two of Nausee, Brandon Williams, Tyus Jones, and A. J. Johnson.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: They do listen nause a small forward, but he's more
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: of like a point guard for them. And then already
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: said that A. J. Johnson and Brandon Williams are my
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: favorites there. And then I'll be Max two of Christy Middleton,
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Kayla Martin and Miles Kelly Memphis. It's going to be
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: a Max two of Pippen, Small, Clayton and Spencer. I
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: think it would be Max one of Gigi, Prosper and Hendricks,
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: and then Max one of Wells and Wells, Mayshack and Repair.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Mayshak even plays, but definitely Max one,
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Repair and Wells at the very.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Least awesome excellent stuff there.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I looked at halftime last night of the Kings
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: and I think MAVs and you have precious had like
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know the twenty twenty five points at half
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: or whatever is that whatever it was he ended up
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: with like twenty eight, but yeah, he was crushing for sure.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Saber is too sharp with that stuff. Because I was
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: just kind of going to last night like I felt
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: great about my lineup. I had everything set up with
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: where I wanted. I had a lower low ish owned
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Naji Marshall with just a ton of points. But Saber
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: was having me swap off badly for Precious, and that
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: was basically what would have won me the Life Final
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: seed had I done that. But just yeah, I mean
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: that's kind of just game theory DFS one on one.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: It was like a three point projection between those two guys.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Saint Price tag, same positional eligibility, but Precious was like
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: ten percent versus Bagley's eighty percent. It's just easy, easy
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: decision to make there. Just kind of kicked myself when
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: I'm doing that.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Saber nos Man, I don't know how they deal with
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: their darn good that's for darn sure. Moving on to
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: the last game on the slate, it's gonna be a
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: good win. I find myself rooting against the Thunder every
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: time they play Hebrew Cheetah. I find myself rooting for
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets with Jamal Murray, love him, love Julian strath Or,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: love the Joker, love Timmy Hardaway, Junior and his pops
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Bruce Brown.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: But talk to me about this game.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: It shouldn't be a good one if you're if you're
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: in Vegas at eight point spread, Shay is back tonight.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: As we alluded to, uh some of these some of
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: these what I would call role players. I've been balling
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: for this Thunder team. They beat they beat the Calves
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: last Sunday. But I'm looking forward to sitting down watching
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: this game. Talk to me through it. Joker and the
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Nuggets versus the Thunder.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, all my homies hate Okay, See, just had to
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: get that off much use, But yeah, Shay's gonna be
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: making his return tonight, looking to hold their first place
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: standing in the West and then making a push for MVP.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Was surprised a little bit to see Plus Money on
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: chef like he's like the clear favorite now. Was kind
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: of touting Caid earlier this week as MVP guy thought
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: that Sha can miss more games, but now Caid's all
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: the way up to like eleven hundred depending where you look.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: I have to use these shitty, uh offshore odds in California,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: but definitely.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: What do you call the bookie to get those odds?
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my buddy is my bookie, and they use like
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: these off you know, off brand like Russian sites. So
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: it's it's fine if you do, you know, fight nights,
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: throwing down some parlays with your boys is always a
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: good time. But it's never not really something that makes
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: me money. But yeah, I definitely think it's interesting to
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: see shape plus money because he's the clear favorite now.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: But yeah, Jamal Murray is questionable. Checked out early last
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: game with an illness, expecting to be back tonight. He's
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: a gamer, he always plays through stuff, so I'm expecting
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: him back. Definitely excited about this game, Like you are,
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Nuggets are still contenders, but the numbers and like I
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: was listening to a ton of kind of like pre
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: playoffs podcast this past week, there's a lot working against them,
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: just based off of historical data. Teams that are actually
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: contenders because you have to be basically top ten in
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: defense and offense and have like a certain net rating
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: and they just kind of don't run now. Their defense
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: have been a huge issue this season, and really a
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: big issue since Jokic returned. There's a lot of talk
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: about him kind of returning for you know, to be
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: eligible for awards. Maybe he came back to early and
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: he looked pretty rusty when he first came back, but
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: did they coming off of a couple of big games lately,
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: so I think that he's probably healthy now. But obviously
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: this is a game that's really important just for morale
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: of these teams. I think both teams really want to
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: get the win. So I'm fine getting to Jokic obviously. Okay,
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: see the best defense in the league, and they'll have
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: all the guys back, mainly the guys that will be
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: defending Jokic, Shay or Chet and harns Selby back. He's
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: done fine against them, like Jokis, is clearly matchup proof,
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: but he should really have a big usage rate if
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: Murray does miss. But I do expect him to play
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: against Against Chet. He is averaging thirty point six points
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: for seventy five on seventy to two percent true shooting.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: So that's all right. Sorry, that's against Hartenstein, a little
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: bit less against Chet. Twenty two point two zero points
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: per seventy five, eleven and a half assists for seventy
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: five against Chet, so numbers all in line with what
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: you'd expect from Yokich. I have no issues getting there.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: I actually think that he's probably a guy I would
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: want to prioritize in singletry subject because I want to
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: take my floor from him and not really mess around
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: and just play the value pieces around him. Is how
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at tonight's late don't think I'm looking to
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Jamal Murray, even if he's in awful matchup against lou
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Door and Case and Wallace and Alex Crew, so they
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: just have all the guys that they need to shut
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: him down. I am a little bit more into the
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: off ball scoring guys, so Cam Johnson, Christian Brown, and
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Julian Straw to a lesser degree, Tim Hardaway Junior. I
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: think all those guys should be in play at the
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: very least for Showdown. I think these are guys that
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: you should consider. Cam Johnson's been pretty bad for the
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Nuggets the season as what they traded for to get him,
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: I honestly feel like they should just kept EMPJ. I
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: think he'd be huge for them right now. But he's
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: not shooting grade just thirty two percent from deep over
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: his last five but on the season, he's a forty
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: four percent three point shooter that should regress positively in
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: his direction. I do think that he's got pretty solid
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: scoring upside here, so I'm a little bit into Cam
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Johnson Christian Brown. He kind of gets there more in
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: teams against weak transition where he can get easy Buggets
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: to the rim. But he can put up some points
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: at a three point line at times and should be
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: playing a lot of minutes here. I think they'll need
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: his defense and the same part of Junior. I think
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: is just kind of like a flamethrower off the bench.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: He can get really hot. It might not even be
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: enough on the slate at four point six game even
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: if he does have a good night, but would definitely
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: keep an eye on him for a showdown for OKC.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Pretty short for me. I don't really think I want
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: to go to Shade here. He's only I mean, he's
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: coming back off the multi week app since I'd imagine
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: he's pretty limited coming back, like maybe in the low thirties.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Maybe that's enough to get there, but I just don't
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: think so Denver is the defense have been really bad.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: I don't really think they have anybody that can slow
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: him down, So I think efficiency wise, he should be fine.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: He's been practicing for a little bit, so maybe he's full,
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: but I highly doubt it. I don't think I'll be
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: going much there. Definitely not into Chet with Shade back,
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: I think is capped. I think hard Stein isn't play
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: at six point four K. They might want to ask
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: some more out of him, especially after how much Jaylen
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: Williams just played against Detroit. So maybe he gets closer
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: to thirty here, which would make him a solid option
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: at six point four K, and then Blue Dort always
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: better shoot at home. Never a guy I'm considering. Crusoe
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: is three point nine case. That's cheap enough to consider,
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: but don't love it by any means.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they just play so many dudes. It's tough to
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: get to Jared.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, McCain, he's been balling, but man, you can't
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: play him even at that price, in my opinion, was
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: shake him back on some of these other guys. Excellent
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: stuff for those five games. Hit that like hit that's
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: a scribe. But if you've already done so Hebrew One
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: question I had if you were gonna just overstack a game,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: maybe like a four to two, four three, five to two,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: something like that, do you have one that you like
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: more than any of the others.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I would do that many people
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: on a sec on a slay this size, but maybe
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: like two to two or three two is something I
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: could get behind. Yeah, I would probably say the Nickson Milwaukee,
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: but no, it would probably be probably the Memphis Dallas game. Honestly,
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: Oh really, yeah, I mean it has the best total
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: in the slate and the closest spread. I believe you
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: have closest spread. Okay, and it's cheap to get into.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, that'd probably be the one.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: All right, well, good stuff there.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: We appreciate all three hundred and twenty five of you
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: tuning in. It was a great show today. Rio, I
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: can't let you get out of here. Man, we got it.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: We got to get a bet for the people. We've
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: been struggling, not struggling.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: We haven't really given any out, but uh, give me
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: a bet for the people that we can all bet
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: tonight break Vegas shut him down?
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: All right, let me look at something real quick. I
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: want to see. I mean, I have one in mind.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Who's the highest stone power forward today?
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Middleton?
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: I think, no, don't say that. He should be zero percent.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: If anyone's listening to this show and plays Chris Middleton,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I can't help you, can't help you anymore.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: That guy's pathetic.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Saber has him at two percent. That can't be right.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Higher there, I think.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Hendrick probably gets up there too, just because he's cheap. Yeah,
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know you can man yet. Power forward is
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: really gross tonight, all right, I have Johnson, I'd go there,
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: Kim Johnson. I'd probably play him a power forward.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, Cam Johnson. That guy's not been very good either.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Good matchup for him, though, Yeah, I mean whatever I
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: would take. I take Sam Merril or Jalen Tyson's three
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: point lines tonight and you could light her up. Sam
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Meryril to like eight sam Maryril.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: All right, I got I got a big hospital bill.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I got to pay off, So I'm counting on on
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: on Rio moving into his new house. If it doesn't hit,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: appreciate everybody tuning in. We certainly appreciate it. We'll be

• 39:00
