  Speaker 1: All systems going clear, the lifting? What is going on
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: ship at Nation YouTube station. We're back with another edition
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of the NBA Show. It's Friday night, February six. We
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: got four games on the DraftKings menu. We will go
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: through those game by game. Then we'll briefly touch on
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the last two that FanDuel included tonight. But Matt, I'll
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: bring you in right away. How is your week? How's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: everything going up there in the land. No Darius Garland
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: by the way, So yeah, no, no more Darius up
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: there with you in Cleveland.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know he's you know, you're real familiar with
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: DG being from uh you know, I know he's from
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: around you. I don't know how close, but you know,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Tennessee guy. Nonetheless, I love Garland, so sad to see
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: him go, but I do think the Cavs are better
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: now for this yater with Harden a little bit of
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: awkward fit, but I'm excited to see it. He's debuting
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: for Cleveland tomorrow, so we're excited. They're on the West coast,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: which is nice because it is cold here again and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be a pretty bad weekend weather wise.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: But what else is new up in Cleveland. Hopefully we
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: only had a couple more weeks of this before it
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: turns nice. But that being said, I am happy now
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: that I'm talking some hoops with you. How about yourself?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: How's your week going?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, weeks going good. Yes, it's actually like fifty or
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: sixty day here in Tennessee. Darius Garland saw him play
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a bunch of times in high school. Yeah, literally the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: local high school. He's from Brentwood, right, Yeah, to Britain Academy. Yeah, so,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: which is a known powerhouse here around town. And uh, yeah,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: week was good. New Ones pointed out, I'm wearing my
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Bucks green today celebrate Giannis staying with the Bucks for
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: another half season. Anyway, but man, there was some there
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: was some excite I guess, exciting trades and then you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: just random like Mike Conley got traded, then like got cut.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Now he's selling going back to the te Wolves. Not
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that he means much, but just thought that was odd.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: What was your I guess most exciting trade outside of
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: like anything out of ball of Cleveland, Like we were like, damn,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that was gonna happen.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I think gotta be a d going to Washington just
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: was not expecting that one. Man, I know, I respected.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I was telling Rio this on Wednesday, like, maybe you
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: can appreciate this or understand where I'm coming from being
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: a baseball guy yourself a little bit. I'm such a
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: huge Guardians fan, right, Indian slash Guardians, and they're always
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: really good or good, but they'll never make a move
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to be really good. So I always respect when teams
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: go for it, even if it's not like the best move,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: even if it doesn't work out. Washington's not getting free agents.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: They got a really nice young core, so they're going
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: in a little bit next year with a D and Trey.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I respect it even if it wasn't what I expected.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. I don't know if you remember. We
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: talked about it last week though, we said whose core
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: would you rather have? We talked about the Wizards and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: talk about the Jazz and the Jazz moves both got
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: big moves. So man, like you look at him and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: like Trey an ad like obviously healthy, pretty nasty with
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: that young core, and then Jaron Jackson junior lowry marking,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: then Ace Bailey like call your Kiante.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like both those squads could be like, I love
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: what Utah did Adam Jaron Jackson. I know people like
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: he's paid, but U taught is not getting guys. They
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: have to get guys through trades and the draft. They
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: also identify a guy that they think can help them
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: go on forward. They got a great young core. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: just really like seeing it. So that's why with Cleveland,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: even though there's some hesitation dealing a twenty six year
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: old point guard for a thirty six year old, I
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: respect the cash. We're going all in.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to watch it was all over X
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: if you were on there, but I had to watch
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that video of I don't even know what what TV
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: station it was, but it was talking about the beard
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and the problem and all that stuff. Did you see that?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that like that viral like clip from that
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: PA announcer like a couple of years ago. That's also
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: how much he hates Harden. Yeah, I didn't even I
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: didn't even watch it this time because I had seen
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: it when it came out, so I knew immediately.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I had to rewatch it. It's true, I know everywhere
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Harden goes, it's like, man, where there's smoke, there's fire.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: But anyway, that's a mercenary. He is a mercenary. But
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I think that Cleveland knows they got him for two years.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to get to that, but
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: we will see, we will see.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's ended in a divorce, a messy divorce.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Everywhere else he's been so anyway, let's before we get
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: into it. Welcome to the show today. Hey, if you
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: aren't a member, head on over to the ship at
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: nation dot com. Get in for five days for nineteen dollars.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: We'll take you through NBA all weekend. We got the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: big game on Sunday as well. I got my guy
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Matt in here NBA seven days a week with myself
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and Hebrew Cheetah giving out corps, giving out plays, staying
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: in the chat as always. We got four games that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: we're really gonna break down. Then we're gonna talk about
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the last two as well. As I alluded to earlier.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: First game up on the slate, as a team that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: loves it gives up three pointers, that's the Miami Heat
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: taking on the Celtics to night. Looks like we got
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a fully healthy game to play tonight. Obviously, Tyler hero
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: is gonna be out, but he's been out for quite
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: some time. Jalen Brown ninety seven hundred dollars. He missed
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the other night, but looks like he's going to be back.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: New Look Nicola. Is it NICOLEA believe it is Vukovich
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: in there making his Celtics debut. I'm excited to see
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: how he does in the big as the big man.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Kada had a big night the other night. Obviously his
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: minutes are going to be limited. But talk to me
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a little bit about this game. You got the heat
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: taking on the new look Celtics.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, even though this game has really good players
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: in it, it's not that appealing from a DFS perspective
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: compared to the other games on the slate. It's a
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: four game slate, So if you want to make a
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: stand on this game, I totally get it. But from
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the Boston side, I think the only guy we're really
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: looking at is Jalen Brown. You know he's back tonight.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: He's at a reasonable price point. He's getting ownership, as
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: he should. Every spend up option on this slate, or
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: most of them at least, are getting ownership. He fits
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: that bill good spot against the fast faced Miami team.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I got no issues with it. I don't love the
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Vucevich move for them, not that Simon's had a huge
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: role there, but Bucevich is so bad defensively. I don't
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: think he's going to be playing a ton for them
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the whole play. Certainly, he's really good offensively, and you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: who knows. Maybe I'm wrong there, but I still think
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: we see a lot of Kada. I know started last
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: game with Ron Harper. I want to see what this
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: starting lineup looks like. Gars is always a guy I'm
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: gonna be interested in. If he's starting, we'll see I
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: don't know what it's gonna look like yet, but as
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: of now, it's really Jalen Brown or bust here. I
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: don't think he's a must play, especially with other spend
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: up options, but I do think that he's certainly in
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: play from the Miami side. Not seeing much BAM. I'm
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a huge BAM guy. He's been in my core a
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: bunch recently. He's now eighty seven hundred in a what
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: actually I was gonna say, a not great spot. It
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: could be a much better spot at Voo's the starting
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: so maybe I'm a little bit more interested in Bam
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: than the field. But man, that tag it's hard to swallow.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: You know, projected for under forty Fantasy points pretty much
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: everywhere almost nine K. That's a tough pill to swallow,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: no doubt. Norman Powell seven K. Like, Okay, I'm fine
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: with this with these guys if you want to take
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: a stand on this game. But other than that, if
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I'm playing one lineup right now, the only guy I'm
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: even really considering is Jalen Brown from this game. How
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: about you?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like uh Bam has been in my
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: core a bunch as well. I mean, Homi Hokkas. I
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: like him at sixty four hundred. If I'm playing over
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: on fan duel, I think that guy just he's goods,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: you know, six men off the bench, he plays a bunch.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: He's not hanging out with sponsor's ex ex wife anymore.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: What you say, I just said he's a hooper.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a He's a certified hooper. So I like
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: him at that price tag sixty four And then yeah,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: so we have Kate is starting. I don't. I don't
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: think I can get to Garzon right with with voochs there.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I think Vooch may eat up some of those minutes.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I don't really like anybody else if he's starting. I
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: said if gar was starting, because he started last game.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: That's all I was saying.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Gotcha, Uh, I like I like Derek White. I like
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Derek White. Uh. I don't like the price tag, but
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I do like Derek White. Uh. And I also like
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Peyton Pictcher. And the reason I say that is the heat.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: And for years I feel like I've given up a
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: bunch of three pointers. And we know Derek White, we
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: know Peyton Pritchard can launch him up there. I like
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: them a little bit more than Sam Howisar obviously, Obviously
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: they do more rebounds, blocks, steals, assists, things like that,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and that's why I would like them over Holser. But
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you're gonna pay for it in price, so I'm with
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: you all in all, I'm gonna be lower in this game.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: And there's not that many games to choose from, but
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: this would be one I'd have one, maybe two players
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. That tough thing. I like the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Pritchard spot. The tough thing is like he's coming off
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a really two really good games, one last game without
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Jalen Brown, so he's priced up to seventy to two hundred,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: and he's not starting, Like I don't necessarily mind that
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: he's not starting, but it's really hard to like spend
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: up for someone like that when they've got a little
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: bit of a minute's cap. That said, he's so good offensively,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: like he can get there off the bench. So he's
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: gonna be in my pool. You know, someone I'm considering
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: if nothing else.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Jake's asking about pel Larson. I don't. I don't think
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I have any love for Pale, but it doesn't sound
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: like you do either.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Nah. The Miami guys are just pretty on this slate again,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: like it's a small enough slate where you know, anyone
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: who's playing real minutes I think is in play in
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: that aspect. But there's nothing about Larson that stands out here.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I think he's priced probably where he should, maybe a
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: little bit expensive for Miami being healthy now with Powell back.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good stuff there. Next game up on the slate
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: is going to be the New York Knicks taking on
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the Detroit Pistons, and Matt I loaded up Jalen Durham
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: in the corps last night, played him on two of
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: my three teams and that Joker came out early, so
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: it was a bad night for your boy. Ham. I
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: think he's listed as questionable. Towns has went from had
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: a mid day down grade, he's doubtful. Now Og had
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a mid day down grade as well. Josh Hart missed
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: last game, but he does look probable tonight. Miles McBride
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: has been out, he's going to be out. What about
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson, I'll see him on the Andrey Ports he
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: is Duncan gonna play tonight.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I think he's probable, So yeah, I would expect him to.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: He's probably all right, But talk to me a little
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: bit about this game should be a good real life game.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's one versus two in the East. Got
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the Knicks at Detroit.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah so this game too.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: By the way, Sorry, yeah.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: No Detroit coming off and off of lost against Washington
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: last night. Otherwise they've been awesome this year. New York
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: is playing really good ball right now. This game wouldn't
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: have a ton of the FSPPIL except for we've got
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: guys out. So you mentioned the Town's downgrade, He's probably
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: not gonna play here. And then Og also, I would
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: kind of expect him to sit too. With the midday
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: down grade to questionable. So all of a sudden you
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: get the Knick Center stot opening up where Mitchell Robinson
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: at forty three hundred is gonna look elite ownership will
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: be there. I mean, he'll be like the guy that's
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Jade and Ivy level owned last night forty three hundred.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: He's a good fantasy producer. You know, he's just gonna play,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: you know, more than he usually does here. That's still
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: not going to be like thirty plus. But if he
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: plays twenty four to twenty five, twenty six minutes at
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: forty three hundred, he's gonna get there. So Mitchell Robinson
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: looks great. I think Huckporty looks like an interesting pivot
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: off of Robinson. He should play a lot of the
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: backup run. And as I just mentioned, Mitchell Robinson is
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: not going to play thirty five minutes here, So Mitchell
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Robinson may play twenty five. So then you might get
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: twenty ish from hawk Porty, which at three K could
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: easily get you there after that. Mchil Bridges Jalen Brunson already,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you know look good with Towns out. They would look
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: even better with og out throw Josh Hart in that mix.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Not a great matchup on paper, but you take out
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: so much usage, you know, equity in terms of rebounding
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: and scoring. With Towns out, the other Knicks are just
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: gonna look really, really good. From the Detroit side. I
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: feel like it's a similar story because I don't expect
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Dran to play here. Left last night, never came back.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Wasn't playing well anyways, but couldn't take advantage of that
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: really good spot. I don't think he plays here. We'll
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: see if he's out, we've already seen. While we saw
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Isaia Stewart start for Tobias Harris last night, I would
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: expect him to go right to Paul Reid starting at center.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: You know, forty one hundred. He's a guy. If he's starting,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like you just play him. It's not guaranteed
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: he's gonna get there, but he's such a good fantasy
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: producer that when he's starting at a cheap price point,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I'm in on Paul Reid, and I'll be in on
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Paul Reid here if duruns out and he's starting. If
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: he's not and it's Isaiah Stewart starting at the five,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I'll be in on Isaiah Stewart here after that Cad
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I think looks like an intriguing spend up option. Not
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: getting a ton of love, but I like him in
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: big games like this, even if it's not as good
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: of a matchup as it was last night. I think
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the game should be really competitive here we saw the
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Knicks just play double lot against Denver one verse two
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: in the East. As you just mentioned, Kid's gonna play
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: a bunch of minutes here. He's at least interesting as
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: a spend up to be contraler an option. Mostly it's
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the value in this game. And then if Og is
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: out pretty much all the other Knicks guys like Heart
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and Bridges. Do you see anything differently there?
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah? No excellent breakdown there. Yeah, be ball Paul as
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I think hebrew Chi refers to him as that's probably
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: his nickname. I think, yeah, he's a great play if
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: he were to start in Durham where to miss Landry Shammitt.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I like Landry Shammitt. I mean, if he gets the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: starting nod for some reason, he starts boys a hooper man.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: He's been shooting it pretty good lately. Forty three hundred.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Don't hate that, Mitchell Robinson I mentioned him a few
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. Yeah, forty three hundred. You know, I don't
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: know if he's on a minute's restriction, but to your point,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: he plays, you know, twenty four to twenty six minutes.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like he's gonna get a ton of boards,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: especially if Duran does miss man. I feel like this
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: game is gonna play like so much slower than maybe
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: some of these other ones in the total. You know,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: at two nineteen. I think the thing, you know, I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: think obviously last night you had like a classic look
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: ahead spot right, you know, taking on the Wizards. I
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: like what you said about Caid, Like Caid's gonna want
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to win this game, even at ten to two. I
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: love that price for him, especially in this matchup tonight.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's all it is. Like I see, it's a
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: low total and you're I feel like with Kaid, you're
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: not playing because of the projection. You're playing him because
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: of the ownership discount and just knowing that he's got
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: slate breaking upside in any matchup. I mean, he's that good.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: So to your point, like again, it's not the best
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: projection play, but sometimes you got to look a little
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: bit past projections, especially on a four game slate where
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: there just aren't that many ways to get different quite frankly,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: but to your originally point low total. That is kind
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: of why I just really like the cheap guys in
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: this game.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Hey, last thing and we'll move on. We neither one
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: of us mentioned Jalen Brunson. But if Carl if Kat
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: is gonna miss what is and Og? I mean, like,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: where else are they going to go to get points?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean, Like what is Jalo?
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Exactly what you mean? I mean, it's just the matchup thing,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: and he's expensive ish at eighty nine hundred. He's more
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: expensive than we see and it it's a tougher matchup.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I will say one thing on that though, Like just
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: reviewing and researching this slate coming into the show, a
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: bunch of guys are priced up actually, so I feel
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: like DK did a I don't know if it's a
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: good job or a job of pricing up players today,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: So you kind of have to look at it in
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: a little bit take it, I guess with a little
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: bit of a crane of salt that brunts into a
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: little bit more expensive than he usually is. Because a
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: lot of guys.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Are got you all right, good stuff there, excellent breakdown.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Two games left that we're gonna dive deep into. We
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: got the Pacers taking on my Milwaukee Bucks and my
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: green shirt. No this wasn't playing. But no Kyle Kuzma,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: no tight end, turn power forward Yannis tonight, talk to
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: me a little bit about this game. Though she got
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the legend Jay Huff in the game tonight. Nobody really
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: missing on the Pacers side. Zubach is not gonna make
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: his debut tonight, but outside of that, they should be
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: fully healthy. Obviously, we know Halliburton has been missing all season.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: But Indiana at Milwaukee the Miles Turner revenge game. Talk
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: to me about this one.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Indiana is fully healthy with a caveat that
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: they don't have Zubach yet, and they dealt mather In,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: so they are a little bit. They're different than we've
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: seen recently because not only that, I forgot to mention,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: they traded Isaiah Jackson in that deal, so they traded
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: their backup big man. They don't have the guy they
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: traded for yet. And last week they decided not to
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: resign Tony Bradley on a two way contract or to
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: a regular contract. So I do think that Jay Huff
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: with power forward eligibility, I think he might be under
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: predicted minutes wise here, Like all over the industry, I'm
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: in on Jay Huff here at forty eight hundred. Again,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit of sticker shock there, but I just
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: mentioned that a lot of guys are priced up today.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: He's one of them. But I think that he's in
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: a really good spot to play a ton here. Again
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: no Isaiah Jackson, no Zubac, and they dealt or they
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: decided not to resign Tony Bradley, So again you've got
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: their guys back like you didn't have last time. See
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Akams back, etc. So I'm not exactly sure what their
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: rotation is going to be, but I'm in on Huff here.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Aside from that, I think Indiana's kind of got good
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: solid Cogan the machine plays all over the board.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Aaron E.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Smith at fifty six hundred. He should play a ton here.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: He's getting ownership as he should. Andrew Nemhart seventy three hundred.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: We've seen some big games out of him. If you're
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: playing him and guys in that price range, you're probably
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: pricing yourself out of point guards like Caden Brunson, but
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: it might be more of a realistic build to build
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: like that, So I get it. Nemhard looks good here.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Pascal himself, I don't hate it at eighty eight hundred.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I don't love spending that on him, but he's not
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: gonna get a ton of ownership. I mentioned Huff talked
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: about Nie Smith, the other guy. I think that's worth mentioning.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Here is TJ. McConnell. He's not playing a ton of minutes.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: But all of a sudden you take Matthrin off this bench,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: and he's a guy who hasn't been priced up at all.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: His price has remained the same. So when you've got
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: prices rising on a lot of other players on the
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: slate and McConnell's not, it makes him seem cheaper than
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: he otherwise would be. So at forty five hundred, wouldn't
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: be shocked if he plays a little bit more off
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the bench, really good matchup. I like him here as
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: a nice cog in the machine type play. Uh. I
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: can talk about Milwaukee in a second, but anything else
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: in Indiana you like.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So McConnell's only forty forty one too. I think
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about so even even yes, cheaper
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: than than you had thought. No, I think that's an
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: excellent breakdown that that you said there, uh Niece Smith
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: got talked a little bit about in the chat. I
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: liked your Jay Huff call. That was interesting take there
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and I and I fully agree with it. Yeah, break
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: down this buck side. I've been playing a lot of
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Ryan Rollins lately, obviously with no uh, with no Jannis
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and unlimited KPJ. KPJ came back the other night. They
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: had a they had a really good game. I forget
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: who it was again, Oh the the Pelicans, yep, with
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the overtime. See some Pete nance chat in the chat.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Chatter in the chat. But yeah, talk to me about
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: this game. Ryan. On the bucks side, Ryan Rowlands eighty
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: five hundred, man, that's the steep price tag to pay
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: for someone like him, it really is.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: And even with Kuzma out, which made all the bucks
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: look better. I just I really struggle to pay full
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: price like that on Rollins with KPJ back, because I'd
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: rather just play KPg than Rolins. I think KPJ is
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: the better fantasy producer. Rollins is going to play more
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: right now, and he is also a really good fantasy producer.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: When you give me KPJ at a thousand less than Rollins,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I gotta like kpjmore like I just have to. And
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: that isn't to say Rollins isn't a good play and
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Porter Jr. Is volatile. We've known that forever, but man,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: he is a fantasy stud when he's on the court
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: seventy five hundred with no Yiannis, no Kuzma, maybe no Portois.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: I think Porter Junior is a really really good play here,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: and I think Rollins is a good play and in
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: his own right, I think you can play them both together.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: You're allocating a lot of salary for that, but smaller slate.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, if Porter Junior gives you forty and Rollins
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: gives you forty five, which is easily possible in a
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: game like this, you might want or need both of them.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: So I think those two guys look like the best
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: plays on Milwaukee because they're the most stable, which is
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: weird to say about KPJ. But that's how the cookie
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: crumbles here. Gary Trent thirty eight hundred, something I talk
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: about all the time, especially if you're handbuilding. He's shooting
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: guard and small Ford eligible, so playing at five different positions,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: and I know people like to chuckle at that, but
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: it matters a lot. Again when you're handbuilding and you're
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: only playing a few lineups. Trent is just easy to
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: fit anywhere. Going to play twenty five plus minutes here
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: at thirty eight hundred in a good matchup. I can
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: get on board with some Gary Trent here. Miles Turner
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: has been really popular and basically every slate he's been
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: on he's been good. I haven't played much of him.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to start tonight, although he's not going
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: to be that highly owned, so that's intriguing. Portis himself.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: He's seventy seven hundred, so I always like Portis when
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: he's starting and guys are out, but man like full
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: price for him when he's been out. I think he's
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: a good contrarian play. But if he's getting any sort
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: of ownership, I'm out. And if he's in, it makes
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Turner look worse. If he's out, obviously Turner looks better.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: That's really it. I think we do have to wait
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: and see about Portis. We talked before the show. He
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: is one of a bigger injury question marks we have
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: just because we don't have that many. So all in all,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee is gonna look intriguing. The point guards are going
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: to look like the best guys. But I think you
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: can really get to a lot of players here.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent breakdown there. Yeah, we just talked about Portis
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: being being too expensive? Is kp j still on the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: minute restriction? Did you did you say that?
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I do not know. I know he only played what
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: he played twenty eight minutes.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Twenty eight minutes and that was an OT too, if
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, But I mean he was hooping down
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: there down the stretch, and even in limited minutes, he
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: put up what forty some on DraftKings points last game.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I think he's just what he does.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he's a baller right with
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: him and Rollins and then you got then you got Portis.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Is the really the only one that that I like
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: on the on that side? Uh? What, I know that
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: they're a little bit different. You can only play him
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: at you know, the guard or utility spot. But Gary
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Trent versus TJ McConnell, similar price, you know, different positions,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: but you can play want, you know, guard utility, Like
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: what who do you like better between those those two.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I like that question. I do think there's value in
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: the shooting guard small forward eligibility Trent has. But in
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: a one for one, give me McConnell if I have
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: forty one hundred left and I could play either of them,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Like at Guard, I'm playing McConnell. I'll put it like that.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: And then what about this Pete Nance character? Any any
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: love for him?
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I talked about Hilary. Okay, is that Larry brother?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: It is? It's a brother.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you already talked about Pete Nance. I missed.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I missed the whole.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't. Rio and I talked about him via text
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday because I know he had mentioned him a
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: bunch and he ended up being really good in limited minutes.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's projected to play a decent amount here,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Like I'm not buying completely what he's selling, but Rio's
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: made some good points about him, like they run the
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: offense through him a little bit when he's on the floor.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: He's got good coach speak. I'll say this, you could
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: do a lot worse at thirty six hundred than him.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: So I'm not like going out of my way to
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: play him. But I think again, you could do a
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: lot worse in playing someone like that or him at
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: thirty six hundred.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate, appreciate a resident Bucks insider, new Ones
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: given us he a thirty is brought the cap And
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: is there a worst coach in the NBA than Doc Rivers.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I think he's pretty terrible. He loves him some Pete
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: nants according.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: To Rio, but yeah he does, he does.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Who was it the other day that was talking. I
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: guess they fired that Adrian Griffin guy when they were
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: like twenty four and seven or whatever the record was.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, and then Doc took over in the
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: middle of the year and then went downhill. Anyway, I'm getting
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: out top there. Last game on the slate is mister
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: thirteen three pointers himself, Trey Murphy. What a performance he
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: had the other night, just out there hoop and that's
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Rio's guy. I feel like Julius Randall you mentioned a
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: little bit earlier he had I think you said a
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: thumb injury or a hand injury. Played through it the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: last time out. That's the biggest news in this contest.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Ao no Ao. The soon move tonight for the t Wolves.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: He's not going to make his debut, but talk to
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: me about this game. This should be a good game.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I like Zion at eight K. But then the rest
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: of hear your take on the Pelicans at the Timberwolves tonight.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Before I even talk about that game, I want to
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: touch on something Rio said because I agree, but I
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: think there's also another way to potentially look at it.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: And I'll be talking to him after the show about it.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: So he said, and he's going to be tanking hard.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: The rest of the way makes sense a lot. They
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: stink right now. They have the third worst record in
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: the league, and they just traded their pick in the
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Zubach deal for they traded their pick and Isaia Jackson, etcetera.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: And the Zoobax deal. The pick that they traded is
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: one through four protected and ten through thirty protected. So
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: there is a world, in my opinion, I've heard this
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: theory kind of speed out there where there are so
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: many any bad teams teams trying to take that the
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Pacers could legit try to make a little bit of
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: a run here and guarantee if they fall past ten
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: that they don't have to give their pick. With the
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: chance that they could jump into the top three like
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Dallas did, like I think San Antonio did. So again,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I think that they're going to be tanking the rest
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: of the way, but I do think there are alternative
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: worlds where they don't, So I think it's kind of
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: something we'll just have to wait and see. We don't
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: know yet, But so a fun talking point, if nothing else,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: but to your main question this game, I do think
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: from like a totality standpoint, this game looks like the
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: best from a DFS perspective, just really good price tags.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: The Minnesota side is in a really good spot and
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: their tags are pretty good. New Orleans is missing guys
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: and their price tags are pretty good. So right off
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: the jump from the Minnesota side, Rando himself at eighty
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: one hundred is just in a great spot. I mean,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: we want big men against New Orleans, so Rando and Gobert,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: both of them going to be highly owned, and for
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: good reason, they both look like two of the better
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: big men plays on the slate. Whether you want to
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: talk about power forward or center, both Rando and Gobert
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: really good plays here. Anthony Edwards well before I talk
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: about him, Nasried fits right along in that group. Sixty
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: three hundred a big Man against New Orleans. I'm in
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards man. Hard not to like ant here, really
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: good spot. There aren't a ton of spend up options.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: He projects well, ownership isn't crazy. I don't know if
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: you saw him what he did in the Toronto game
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: last time out. They were trailing, like basically the whole game,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: really good game. In the in the fourth quarter, he
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: shot an air ball. The Toronto crowd was like letting
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: him have it. After the airball, he was raising his
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: hand up to have them give it to him more.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Next possession, he strips the ball from Barrett, runs down
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: for a dunk. He is a true alpha. I love
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards. He's probably my favorite player in the league
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: that's a non Cleveland player. So in this spot, I
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: got a lot of interest in the ant man here.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: How do you see Minnesota?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did not see that, but I love that.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: And he's awesome man, He's awesome.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Freak man. We talked about people we like it, don't like.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I love Anthony Edwards. He's great. Uh, I'm taking I'm
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: taking if we got if we're gonna get a chalky
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert at sixty five hundred. I like Miles Turner
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: better than him at sixty four hundred. I like nas
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Reed better than Rudy Gobert personally. But yeah, I mean
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you said, I mean Jaden Jaden Daniels played well the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: other night too. The t Wolves, Timberwolves, you know, slated
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: to score one hundred and twenty two points. Yeah, yeah,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I mean they're they're gonna they're gonna score, and they're
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: gonna score in bunches. I think all those guys, well,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I say, all those guys and Jaden Julius, I like
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: nas Reed and then I put go Beart like fifth
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: in there. Bone. So Island had had a good game
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the other night. I don't know what what that was
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: all about. Yeah, was it was was someone missing or
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: did he just was he just cutting up out there?
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: He just was cutting up. I think he just really
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: performed well in his minutes, so we got extra run.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: But you know, they don't have Conley right now if
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: they trade a Dillingham, which didn't really matter for him anyways.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: So he's like intriguing as a guy from Minnesota that's
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: not going to get any love. He's pricey at forty
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: six hundred, so it's really hard to go there. But
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: the guy we didn't mention that I think is also
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: in play is Devincenzo. He's a non sexy play like
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: you're not building your lineups around him, but he's I
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: don't want to say, the forgotten guy. But like again,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: if you're not playing ant like you're spending up on
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Kate or whatever, I think Devincenzo makes a lot of sense.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sixty two hundo though, that's that's pretty high.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's like fair to maybe a little
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: bit expensive, but it's in a good spot and he's
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: been playing well.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what about on what about on the other side,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I think we're pretty pretty much a line on the Timberwolves.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: What about you go Bear versus Miles Turner?
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Straight up, heye, Miles Turner. So I gotta say go
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Bear here, just because anyone ruy go Beart. So I
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: gotta say I feel that, like, I honestly like at ownership.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I like the call a lot. I mean it makes
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of sense, man, Like I do think that
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: if Portis is out, though, Miles Turner will get the
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: whole game steam, so the ownership gap might not be
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: that big. But at the gap I'm with you, Like
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: how you said it at first, like if the field's
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: gonna be with Gobert all righte with Miles Turner, Like
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: I get that, and I have no issues with that.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I will say, if they were like projected for the
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: same ownership, I think Gobert projects better, So I'd rather
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: play Gobert, but not at like huge ownership. I'm with
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: you there. The New Orleans side, they don't look as
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: good form as the Minnesota side because they're not playing themselves,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: but they got pieces all over because they just dealt
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Jose Alvarado for Dale and Terry, who's like not gonna
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: be a factor in this rotation, and Alvarado was a
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: factor in the rotation. So all of a sudden you
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: got Jeremiah Fears thirty eight hundred projecting pretty well. He's
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: not gonna play a ton and he's not gonna start,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: but thirty eight hundred for Fears, we've seen him get
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: there plenty of times this year. He's been chalk at
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: like five k. So at thirty eight hundred projected to
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: play anywhere from twenty to twenty three minutes, he looks
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: pretty good. Herb Jones again, another guy who's shooting our
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: small forward eligible. I think he looks good here, and
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: you know, his run, his minutes I think are a
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: little bit more secure here after that, Like Zion, he
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: hasn't been great. I really struggle to spend even eight
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: K on Zion right now. I just don't see the upside.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Trey Murphy. I had huge fomo not playing Murphy the
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: other night. He was just freaking amazing. Eighty three hundred
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: only point guard eligible, Like it's tough to get there, man.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: We talked about other point cards we really like today.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: We talked about like the cad and the Brunsons, which
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: aren't getting ownership. Then we talked about like the KPJ
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: and Rollins of the world, Like those guys just look
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: better than him, but the field thinks so too. So
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Murphy coming off a monster game in a game that
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: looks really appealing in play for sure. Jordan Poole, I
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: think we could go back to having potentially a pool
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: party here thirty two hundred, Like he's at the price
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: point where if he plays, I mean, somehow he gets
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: hot and he plays seventeen eighteen minutes, Like he can
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: easily get there at that price point. It's certainly risky though.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: New Orleans. Again, they don't look as good as Minnesota.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: But Sadik bay they got guys I want, And especially
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: if you're playing a lot of Minnesota, you're gonna probably
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: want some New Orleans because you're gonna want this game
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: to be close. So yeah, I think that the cheaper
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: guys look the best. But I got no issues is
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: spending up a little bit on New Orleans when the
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: field doesn't really want to.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got Sadig Baye man, he's had some really
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: good games. This Pelicans sid is just tough for me.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I mean I literally had to do a double take
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: when I saw thirty two hundred dollars next to Jordan
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Poole Man. How the mighty have fallen? But yeah, I
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: mean how many minutes, like fifteen thirty or fifteen or
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Uh, He's definitely gonna pay that tag off
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: if he can get to twenty, especially with no Alvarados,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: that's one less body has to fight with. I like
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: this question, Zion versus Julia's straight up one hundred dollars
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: difference both power forward eligible.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: It's gotta be Julius man. I mean ownership you're getting
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: a big ownership discount with Zion, but you're giving up
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: just a lot in projection, So.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I mean less than three points. Yeah, I don't.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I don't hate the pivot because I think the ownership
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: gap is going to be pretty big. And the other
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: thing I'll say is Randall has this stumb issue. He
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: wasn't great last game. Maybe it's bothering him. For me,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: it's just it's tough. It's not even the projection. It's
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: just like the lack of upside I see with Ion.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: But I think the ownership discount is there where I
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: could understand taking Zion in that one for one, I
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: really could.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: All Right, that'll do it for the four game main
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: main slate on DK. Do you want to talk any
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: anything about these last two games, these four teams. I
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: don't have much to offer, but anything that sticks out
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: to you or you just want to call it a show, Yeah,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: we can.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Talk a little bit about it. We talked touched briefly
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: before the show. It's really messy slate because you got
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: four teams that are just kind of in flux right
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: now with Portland, Memphis, Portland, more injury stuff, Memphis, just
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: all of it. The Clippers, certainly in the Kings, who
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: are always a mess. So I like these night slates
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: that don't have the games from the early slates, like
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: when they're separate slates, just because I think it takes
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: a little bit. It just takes a little bit more.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: You got to research more for this slate and stuff.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: So just completely different entity. I will say, like any
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: lineup I'm building in the late State, is Kawhi is
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: going to be in there? I mean, no Harden, Garland's out,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Zubatches out. They're playing the Kings like, Kawhi is just
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: a stone cold lock for me. At ninety six hundred
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: will be owned as such. But he looks really really
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: good here. And then Portland they look good. Cam Spencer
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: now looks good with no tide. Roome, Man, how good
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: has have you seen Jerome in his three games?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Man? He was hooping in Limited. That guy's so good.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I was just reading because he was on the Cavs
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: last year. So I was just talking to my cousin
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: before the show. We're close, and I read him Jerome's
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: three style lines in twenty minutes each and he couldn't
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: even believe, Like we're talking twenty eight one seven assists. Yeah,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: twenty minutes. This dude is just bawling.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: What is he just resting tonight or did he get
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: hurt again?
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: I think he's just resting tonight. Yeah.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Good. What about are the Clippers four points better than
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the Kings? Oh you didn't mention, You didn't mention? Dylan Cardwell,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: he just got a four year deal. Man, he just
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: got a four year deal.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Probably either I love him too, because in his last
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: press conference he was talking about how he'll just do
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: the dirty work, and I love a guy humble like this,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Like he was like, I don't get paid to be
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Domos to Mantes Simonis. I get paid to be Dylan Cardwell, like,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I'll go in there. If that means I have to
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: foul six times, that means I have to file six times.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I loved here and stuff like that.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, we need to get the anxious dog mom
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: on on our payroll. Like, yeah, get those likes up,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy five people watching, forty five likes.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Hey, they were the first person in here too.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Oh nice, Yeah we met Matt. I gotta eat too,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: So get those lights up. We certainly appreciate it, all right, Mat,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get out of here before we do. Give
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: me your with only four team, four games, eight teams,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: who's the highest scoring performer on the night.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: That's a great question.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Easy for me.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: There's a bunch Okay. I could see why it would
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: be easy for you, But for me, I think, see,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ant. I'm gonna give me Aunt Edwards.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I struggled because I could see Cade, but give me Aunt.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Give me mister triple double himself, Cade cutting him, gonna
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: mess around and get a triple double tonight.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I do really like the cad brunts and pairing in
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: a game that I think people are avoiding a little bit.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: But I think it should be really close and all
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, like this game goes ten points higher
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: than the total and you're in action there. So I
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: like that call for sure.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: All right, last one, we'll get out of here. What
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: did you mean by when you said I know why
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: it'd be easy for you, Well, because.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Kid, though, like because Cade just projects as the best
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: he just left. I think that he looks like the
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: best player on the board.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: So I was cheating. Yeah, I was gonna that's that's
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: not really a hot take. There give me the highest
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: scoring guy six k and below.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: That's a real good one. You know what, I thought
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: you were gonna ask me for like my play of
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: the day, and you didn't. So I'm gonna just go
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: with this guy as that answer anyways, because I really
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: think he could be. He's forty eight hundred mister Jayhuff.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Jay Huff, all right, I like that call. I'm gonna go.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier. I don't love him, but i'm gonna
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say him anyway. I'm gonna go with my
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: boy Landry shamm at forty three hundred bulls. He may
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: not be like the highest scoring, but he's gonna get
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say he's gonna get thirty plus tonight, thirty
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: plus DraftKings points tonight. Hey, we certainly appreciate everybody hitting
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: that like we certainly appreciate you. The anxious dog Mom
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: helps us out of ton over here. Hey, head on
