- 0:08Speaker 1: Fall system's gone clear the lifting?
- 0:41Speaker 2: What is going on?
- 0:42Speaker 1: Ship a nation YouTube station. We're back with another edition
- 0:45Speaker 1: of the NBA Show. You got your boy hand today
- 0:47Speaker 1: filling in for Bellman. He'll be filling in for me
- 0:50Speaker 1: on Friday. A little switcheroo. You got your guy Rio
- 0:53Speaker 1: in here every Wednesday as always, here to break down
- 0:56Speaker 1: this nine games. Today, we got the Yannis talk to
- 0:59Speaker 1: talk about who's requested to what are they calling it?
- 1:02Speaker 1: Have conversations about his future with the Bucks AKA he
- 1:05Speaker 1: will not be a Buck for much longer. But Rio,
- 1:09Speaker 1: what's going on?
- 1:10Speaker 2: Man? How you doing? Happy Wednesday to you.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Happy Wednesday to you too. Appreciate you filling in this week.
- 1:16Speaker 3: We'll get Matt back on Friday. Uh yeah, doing good though.
- 1:20Speaker 3: A lot of pretty good games today, some back to backs,
- 1:23Speaker 3: and got a lot of drama in the NBA with
- 1:25Speaker 3: the y honest stuff. Apparently he was asking for a
- 1:28Speaker 3: trade in the offseason, and there's already a bunch of
- 1:31Speaker 3: these beat writers putting out these potential trade packages that
- 1:35Speaker 3: they could these.
- 1:36Speaker 4: Teams could get. But I don't know.
- 1:38Speaker 3: It seems like the most likely outcome is he gets traded,
- 1:42Speaker 3: and it seems like the Knicks are the kind of
- 1:44Speaker 3: the front runners to get him, which is pretty crazy
- 1:46Speaker 3: to think. But they'd have to give up a ton
- 1:48Speaker 3: to get him, So we'll see what happens there. And
- 1:50Speaker 3: then Yeah, Also the Chris Paul stuff was pretty crazy.
- 1:53Speaker 3: I mean that the Clippers are just such a poverty franchise,
- 1:56Speaker 3: just a joke of a team. I mean, you Tylou
- 2:00Speaker 3: and all these guys talking about how they didn't like
- 2:01Speaker 3: his the way that he's like goes about his leadership
- 2:05Speaker 3: and the way he talks to players, just like such
- 2:07Speaker 3: a soft thing to say. And then you release him
- 2:09Speaker 3: in the middle of the night. I mean, he was
- 2:11Speaker 3: the He's probably the best Clipper of all time, I
- 2:14Speaker 3: would say, and you just treat him like that. It's
- 2:17Speaker 3: just kind of kind of sad to see because this
- 2:18Speaker 3: is like his his farewell farewell tour, and then you
- 2:21Speaker 3: just release him in the middle of it.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Yeah, first Adam Feelin, now Chris Paul, who's gonna be next?
- 2:29Speaker 1: But yeah, Live City with him, Blake DeAndre, those were
- 2:33Speaker 1: fun times to watch. Uh you said, I didn't say
- 2:37Speaker 1: the nixt thing for Giannis, and yet I don't know
- 2:39Speaker 1: who they're gonna have to give up but assuming they
- 2:42Speaker 1: keep Jalen and Cat, that's gonna be a pretty formidable team.
- 2:46Speaker 5: I would say, does it say who they would have
- 2:49Speaker 5: to give up for him?
- 2:50Speaker 3: It would have to be Kat and then probably one
- 2:52Speaker 3: of Ogi or Josh Hard and probably some picks as well.
- 2:55Speaker 3: But I think it'd have to be like a three
- 2:56Speaker 3: team trade they talk about like the Sons being involved
- 3:00Speaker 3: with one of Kat and somebody else going over there
- 3:03Speaker 3: and Jalen Green going to Milwaukee something along those lines.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Yeah, or, to be honest to the lakers'd be that'd
- 3:09Speaker 1: be pretty nasty too.
- 3:10Speaker 2: But hey, Mike Spencer knows, what's up. Do us a favor.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Hit that like button, hit that subscribe button if you
- 3:15Speaker 1: haven't already. I think we're up over twelve k, twelve
- 3:18Speaker 1: thousand subscribers now, which is awesome to see. We appreciate
- 3:20Speaker 1: each and every one of you tuning into all of
- 3:22Speaker 1: our shows over here, NBA, NFL, going on my gut
- 3:27Speaker 1: nids holding it down to the NHL streets. So we're
- 3:30Speaker 1: gonna get right into it. This first game is kind
- 3:32Speaker 1: of juicy in the sense of pretty high, uh, pretty
- 3:37Speaker 1: high team totals of two hundred and thirty eight, uh,
- 3:41Speaker 1: we have some some some news on Donovan and Denny.
- 3:45Speaker 2: We have spied up Rio.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Who's just been going absolutely hamm the last couple of days.
- 3:49Speaker 1: I think he had what forty three the other night.
- 3:52Speaker 1: But talk to me a little bit about this game,
- 3:53Speaker 1: Portland at Cleveland two hundred and thirty eight and a
- 3:57Speaker 1: half point total.
- 3:59Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say a lot of the interests from
- 4:01Speaker 3: this game comes from the fact that we could get
- 4:03Speaker 3: a ton of value to start things off, with Denny
- 4:05Speaker 3: and Klingon both being downgraded to question both. This is
- 4:07Speaker 3: a back to back. Denny's been playing a ton lately,
- 4:10Speaker 3: just doing all the heavy lifting for Portland right now,
- 4:13Speaker 3: and Denny or Clinging came back last game from a
- 4:17Speaker 3: I think it was just one game absence with the illness.
- 4:20Speaker 3: But they're probably gonna look to get these guys some
- 4:22Speaker 3: rest because they've just been playing so many minutes as
- 4:24Speaker 3: of late.
- 4:25Speaker 4: As far as what they would do too.
- 4:28Speaker 3: I mean, that's obwaysly gonna push a lot of these
- 4:31Speaker 3: mid tier guys up. From a usage standpoint, Guys like
- 4:33Speaker 3: Jeremy Grant, Shaden Sharp would get a lot better just
- 4:36Speaker 3: from a usage and point per minute standpoint. Well, we'd
- 4:40Speaker 3: also get a new starter on both ends, so it
- 4:43Speaker 3: would probably be Caleb Love starting I think for Denny
- 4:47Speaker 3: for clinging. I'm not sure exactly who they would go.
- 4:49Speaker 3: They'd be really thin in the front court because Robert
- 4:51Speaker 3: Williams is going to be out, so you're left with
- 4:54Speaker 3: Hanson Yang and Duop Wreath as your two loan centers.
- 4:57Speaker 4: They haven't really been.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Looking to get Yang a ton of minutes as of late,
- 5:01Speaker 3: but they might have to start one of these guys,
- 5:03Speaker 3: or they could go small with Chris Murray like they
- 5:06Speaker 3: did a few games ago. Chris Murray is also questioned though,
- 5:10Speaker 3: so if he misses, then you're probably gonna have to
- 5:12Speaker 3: start one of Yang or Duop Breath.
- 5:15Speaker 4: And I think you gotta have a ton.
- 5:17Speaker 3: Of interest in both of them if they're gonna be
- 5:18Speaker 3: splitting the center minutes, because they're both min price three
- 5:21Speaker 3: k and going down to one of those guys allows
- 5:24Speaker 3: you to get up to like a Yo Kicch or
- 5:26Speaker 3: some of these other spend ups that I think are
- 5:27Speaker 3: really good tonight. So definitely gonna be one that we
- 5:31Speaker 3: wait on news. I mean, we'll get the news because
- 5:33Speaker 3: it's the seven pm start time, so we'll have that
- 5:36Speaker 3: news in playing time, but I do think that one
- 5:38Speaker 3: of those centers could start. I would have a lot
- 5:41Speaker 3: of interest in Shading Sharp and Jerremy Grant. It's very
- 5:44Speaker 3: encouraging to see that Shading Sharp is not on the
- 5:46Speaker 3: injury report after a back to back. I thought there
- 5:48Speaker 3: was a pretty good chance that he could sit tonight.
- 5:50Speaker 3: But he's the guy that definitely takes on the biggest,
- 5:52Speaker 3: biggest role with Denny and Dan Drew off the court
- 5:55Speaker 3: of the season. There is a chance that he gets
- 5:57Speaker 3: up to like twenty eight thirty minutes tonight. He played
- 5:59Speaker 3: thirty Live last night, so thirty is probably where they
- 6:02Speaker 3: want to keep him. But I still think at that
- 6:04Speaker 3: price tag he has a good amount of upsides. I
- 6:06Speaker 3: would like him a good bit and same for Jeremie Grant.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Probably wouldn't be too excited about too many. Kamara, who
- 6:10Speaker 3: a lot of people would go to, is just not
- 6:12Speaker 3: generally a very good point per minuted guy. More so
- 6:15Speaker 3: asked to be out there and play defense, more of
- 6:18Speaker 3: a three and D guy, and he'll have his hands
- 6:20Speaker 3: full to night.
- 6:20Speaker 4: Against Donovan Mitchell.
- 6:22Speaker 3: As for the Cleveland stuff, definitely have a lot of
- 6:24Speaker 3: interest in Donovan Mitchell, tonight, just playing great, Like you said,
- 6:27Speaker 3: been asked to do a lot of the scoring as
- 6:29Speaker 3: his team is kind of struggling offensively. A lot of
- 6:32Speaker 3: these games that Darris Garland has missed, he's been putting
- 6:35Speaker 3: the team on his back.
- 6:35Speaker 4: Really, Garland will be back tonight. I do think that
- 6:38Speaker 4: he is in play as well.
- 6:39Speaker 3: The Blazers have given him a ton of points, a
- 6:41Speaker 3: ton of fantasy points to opposing point guards this season.
- 6:45Speaker 3: He should be back to full Like thirty two to
- 6:47Speaker 3: thirty three minutes seems pretty reasonable in a matchup where
- 6:50Speaker 3: we just saw Amania quickly put up forty plus fantasy points.
- 6:53Speaker 3: I've interested in both the guards here a little bit
- 6:56Speaker 3: less interest and Mobile just at the price tag. I
- 6:58Speaker 3: think that it's a little bit tougher to get pure
- 7:00Speaker 3: sealing from him there. But I will say that the
- 7:02Speaker 3: matchup could get really good if Clingon is out, because
- 7:05Speaker 3: they'll just be really thin in the front court and
- 7:07Speaker 3: could He'll have a definitely big size and rebounding advantage
- 7:12Speaker 3: if they do have Chris Murray out there, so I
- 7:13Speaker 3: could see him putting up a solid fantasy score.
- 7:15Speaker 4: But I have a little bit more interest in the
- 7:16Speaker 4: guards here.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Sorry, caught me mid sip. Yeah, no, excellent breakdown there.
- 7:24Speaker 1: You didn't mention DeAndre Hunter. But I see fifty eight
- 7:26Speaker 1: hundred over on FanDuel. I think that's a pretty good price.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Any any interest in fifty eight hundred DeAndre Hunter?
- 7:32Speaker 2: Maybe only on Fandel?
- 7:37Speaker 4: Sorry, could you repeat? I step away for a second.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, I said, you didn't talk about DeAndre Hunter,
- 7:42Speaker 1: but on Fandel he's only fifty eight hundred bucks.
- 7:45Speaker 5: Does that have any You have any interest in DeAndre
- 7:48Speaker 5: at all?
- 7:48Speaker 2: Or out?
- 7:49Speaker 1: Are the Troublazers versus small forwards power forwards?
- 7:53Speaker 3: Not a ton of interest with Garland return and I
- 7:55Speaker 3: just kind of feel like he's going to be the
- 7:57Speaker 3: fourth option on offense.
- 7:58Speaker 4: So don't really think you need to go there.
- 8:01Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, too too good to be great. I thinks
- 8:04Speaker 5: Mobile should should crash. I think crash out maybe is
- 8:07Speaker 5: what he means by that.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Rio agrees with you. Uh yeah, Rio just said it, Ricky.
- 8:12Speaker 2: There you go.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Next game up on the slate. We have the nuggets
- 8:15Speaker 1: you talked about. Jokic had a triple double, not a
- 8:18Speaker 1: triple double. He had like almost a triple double in
- 8:21Speaker 1: the first quarter. The other night was good to see
- 8:24Speaker 1: take it on this Pacers team who struggling as of late.
- 8:28Speaker 1: I bet your boy, uh what's his name? I can't
- 8:31Speaker 1: the center that went to the Bucks, Miles Turner. I
- 8:34Speaker 1: bet you wishes he stays now, especially with with Giannis
- 8:37Speaker 1: wanting to leave. But we got the Nuggets, got Jamal
- 8:39Speaker 1: Murray news. That's the biggest news I guess from from
- 8:43Speaker 1: the from the Denver side, waiting to hear on that.
- 8:45Speaker 5: Jokic, I think it's questionable, but is expected to play.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Aaron Gordon is still out, Nie Smith and Jackson would
- 8:53Speaker 1: be out for the Pacers, But talk to me a
- 8:54Speaker 1: little bit about this game should be.
- 8:56Speaker 2: An up and down game.
- 8:57Speaker 5: Denver minus seven and a half going into Indy.
- 9:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I've liked picking on the Indie defense because they're
- 9:02Speaker 3: just really not that good, especially with their rent protection,
- 9:05Speaker 3: as it's kind of always been their weak point this season.
- 9:08Speaker 3: But they're keeping games competitive because they do have a
- 9:11Speaker 3: decent roster with Siakam and Matheren and Nemhart all getting healthier.
- 9:15Speaker 3: So I like picking on these on this indie team
- 9:18Speaker 3: and knowing that I'm probably gonna get full minutes from
- 9:21Speaker 3: the studs that I'm playing against. Them, so it definitely
- 9:23Speaker 3: gets me onto Jokic, even at the elevated price tag.
- 9:26Speaker 3: The big plus for Jokic is that if Jamal Murray
- 9:29Speaker 3: woard a miss, there's just gonna be so much usage
- 9:31Speaker 3: going his way, and that would make it more likely
- 9:34Speaker 3: that Indye stays competitive in this one. So if we're
- 9:37Speaker 3: getting thirty six to thirty eight minutes from Jokic in
- 9:40Speaker 3: a really good matchup that we like against Isaiah Jackson
- 9:42Speaker 3: and Jay Huff, I mean, he's definitely got eighty plus
- 9:45Speaker 3: point upst. I feel like that is a very reasonable
- 9:47Speaker 3: thing to ask for from him. So I'm definitely gonna
- 9:50Speaker 3: have a lot of interest in Jokic, especially if we
- 9:52Speaker 3: get the value hitting in the right way from the
- 9:55Speaker 3: Portland stuff, we get one of those centers starting, I
- 9:57Speaker 3: think I would really find ways to get up to
- 10:00Speaker 3: jokish guy. Do think that this could even be a
- 10:02Speaker 3: spot where he gets like ninety to one hundred Fantasy points.
- 10:04Speaker 3: I just really love the matchup for him. If Jamal
- 10:07Speaker 3: Murray were to miss as well, that would make guys
- 10:10Speaker 3: like Bruce Brown, Spencer Jones, and Jalen Pickett a little
- 10:13Speaker 3: bit more a little bit more of a value play.
- 10:15Speaker 3: I think Jalen Pickett would probably be the guy that
- 10:17Speaker 3: gets to start, but it could be Bruce Brown, whoever
- 10:20Speaker 3: would be. I think that they would definitely be a
- 10:21Speaker 3: guy you look to, and then that would make Peyton
- 10:24Speaker 3: Watson and Kim Johnson make their minutes a little bit
- 10:26Speaker 3: more solid. Fied him, they would have bigger roles on
- 10:29Speaker 3: offense as well. But I do think it kind of
- 10:30Speaker 3: starts with Jokic and then all those guys get a
- 10:33Speaker 3: little bit of the trickle down if Jamal Murray were
- 10:35Speaker 3: to miss. As for the indie stuff, they should be
- 10:38Speaker 3: in an okay spot that nick Nuggets have been struggling
- 10:40Speaker 3: on defense as of late, especially over the last five games,
- 10:43Speaker 3: but over the last two weeks they ran dead last
- 10:46Speaker 3: in points per possession allowed. So you could definitely make
- 10:50Speaker 3: the case for some of these guys in the game
- 10:53Speaker 3: environment where it's high scoring, the game stays closed. I
- 10:55Speaker 3: feel like Matheren and Nemhard from a pricing standpoint, are
- 10:58Speaker 3: the two best options because it's a little bit tougher
- 11:00Speaker 3: for Siako to hit a ceiling kind of similar to
- 11:03Speaker 3: Evan Mobley in some ways, where you get up to
- 11:05Speaker 3: the eight point nine K nine k range, you're really
- 11:07Speaker 3: gonna need sixty plus fantasy points. I'm just not too
- 11:11Speaker 3: confident that Siam can do that on a regular basis.
- 11:14Speaker 3: So I do prefer Matherin and nem Hard just for
- 11:16Speaker 3: the price adjusted. And then TJ is a guy you
- 11:20Speaker 3: should probably always keep in the pool because he does
- 11:23Speaker 3: have really good outside just from a points fer a
- 11:25Speaker 3: minute standpoint, but he did He's been playing I mean
- 11:29Speaker 3: not a lot of minutes, but like for someone his
- 11:31Speaker 3: age and just how much effort he gives it, he
- 11:33Speaker 3: has been playing a lot. So you see the six
- 11:35Speaker 3: minutes against Cleveland that was a back to back and
- 11:38Speaker 3: he wasn't really injured. It was more so he's just
- 11:40Speaker 3: really tired. And Rick Carlisle saw that he was tired
- 11:43Speaker 3: and just held him out. So he should be fine tonight.
- 11:45Speaker 3: But I do think mather and them Hart of the
- 11:47Speaker 3: two guys I have the most interesting on the indie side.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff.
- 11:53Speaker 1: There one thing, not to go too far back, but
- 11:56Speaker 1: Jalen Tyson if he starts, there's a few questions in.
- 11:58Speaker 2: There around him.
- 11:59Speaker 1: Any love for some Jalen Tyson real quick?
- 12:02Speaker 3: No, I think that he's just getting the price is
- 12:04Speaker 3: getting up there a little bit too high to really consider.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Him and mcgarland coming back. Yeah, excellent stuff there. Next
- 12:10Speaker 2: game up on the slate.
- 12:11Speaker 1: You got the Spurs, you have the Magic, you have
- 12:16Speaker 1: you have obviously the two big boys still out, Wimby
- 12:19Speaker 1: and Bancaro.
- 12:20Speaker 5: Castle is slated to miss the night as well.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Outside of that, no major injury news that I'm aware of, Rio,
- 12:25Speaker 1: but talk to me a little bit about this game.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Should be a good real life game.
- 12:28Speaker 1: I don't know much about the uh about the fantasy,
- 12:31Speaker 1: but this is our last seven PM tip. Talk to
- 12:34Speaker 1: me a little bit about this game.
- 12:36Speaker 5: Spurs at the Magic.
- 12:39Speaker 3: So it's a back to back for San Antonio, but
- 12:41Speaker 3: their injury report is pretty clean, so I would expect
- 12:44Speaker 3: normal minutes from these guys. They really weren't asked to
- 12:46Speaker 3: play a ton. Darren Fox only got up to thirty
- 12:48Speaker 3: one minutes last game, so should be good to go.
- 12:52Speaker 3: All systems go for San Antonio, and it's a decent
- 12:54Speaker 3: matchup for deeron Fox, very similar to yesterday's slate where
- 12:58Speaker 3: he had a good matchup from a pick and roll perspective.
- 13:02Speaker 3: The Orlando Magic are a team that does give up
- 13:05Speaker 3: a good amount of pick and roll, just allowing Jay
- 13:07Speaker 3: and Sucks to kind of defend by himself. They don't
- 13:09Speaker 3: really send it a ton of help because they want
- 13:11Speaker 3: to take away the three pointer and they've done a
- 13:15Speaker 3: really good job with that this season, but that does
- 13:16Speaker 3: allow some point guards to have some pretty decent volume
- 13:19Speaker 3: against him. So I think that Fox is really the
- 13:21Speaker 3: only guy that I'm looking to on the Spurs side.
- 13:24Speaker 3: The cell is okay, but a lot of his points
- 13:26Speaker 3: come from catch and shoot stuff, and Orlando is a
- 13:29Speaker 3: lead at defending that, so I don't really have a
- 13:31Speaker 3: ton of interest there, especially considering he doesn't really hit
- 13:34Speaker 3: his ceiling at this price tide. He's probably better price
- 13:37Speaker 3: in like the mid five k range. But Fox does
- 13:41Speaker 3: have a ceiling. We've seen it one or two times
- 13:43Speaker 3: in the non Wemby and Castle games where he's hit
- 13:46Speaker 3: fifty and sixty five DK points. But he's not my
- 13:50Speaker 3: favorite point guard options, and I feel like this game
- 13:53Speaker 3: is a little bit less appealing, especially from the Spurs side.
- 13:56Speaker 3: On the Orlando side, Franz and I think are okay here.
- 14:01Speaker 3: The half court defense for this versus been kind of
- 14:05Speaker 3: below average, so it's a good spot for both of them.
- 14:09Speaker 3: We're starting to see the role shift a little bit
- 14:11Speaker 3: more in Bain's favor. He's been taking a ton of
- 14:13Speaker 3: shots and really being aggressive getting to the basket. Double
- 14:16Speaker 3: digit free throw attempts in each of his last two games,
- 14:18Speaker 3: fifty five DK points in both those games, so that's
- 14:21Speaker 3: pretty good for his seven point eight K price sect.
- 14:23Speaker 3: So I do slightly prefer Fronz or sorry, I prefer
- 14:26Speaker 3: Bain to Franz there. I think the price is getting
- 14:29Speaker 3: a little too high for Suggs, but Anthony Black is
- 14:32Speaker 3: definitely a play. He's been playing really well, playing starter
- 14:35Speaker 3: like minutes off the bench. Five point five K I
- 14:36Speaker 3: think is a good price seg for him. And also
- 14:39Speaker 3: if Suggs, he is a guy that fouls a lot,
- 14:42Speaker 3: and darn Fox could definitely draw some foul so you
- 14:44Speaker 3: do have the idude of benefit there. If Suggs gets
- 14:46Speaker 3: into foul trouble, maybe he checks in a little bit
- 14:49Speaker 3: earlier than he normally would in his rotation. So I
- 14:51Speaker 3: do think that Black and Bain are the two guys
- 14:54Speaker 3: I have the most interest in fine getting to a
- 14:56Speaker 3: little bit of Sugs and Franz, but I think it's
- 14:58Speaker 3: definitely gonna be a max one now. I think with
- 15:00Speaker 3: the prices all up there for franz Ban and Suggs,
- 15:06Speaker 3: and then I see Googa getting a little bit of ownership.
- 15:08Speaker 3: I think it's just the way the slate is shaping
- 15:10Speaker 3: up that we're gonna need some of these cheap value plays.
- 15:12Speaker 3: So a three point five k he would be in
- 15:14Speaker 3: the play. But if we get the Portland stuff, then
- 15:16Speaker 3: I would prefer those guys in a pretty big way
- 15:20Speaker 3: over Goga.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Black has been balling thirty four plus DraftKings points in
- 15:26Speaker 1: three straight.
- 15:28Speaker 2: And scoring a.
- 15:29Speaker 1: Bunch of real life points obviously as well too. He
- 15:31Speaker 1: looks really nice tonight at that price tag.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Michael w what's going on? Man? Welcome man, Philly Fannom,
- 15:37Speaker 2: how you doing. Glad you guys could make it in today.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Moving on to the next game, we got the Chris
- 15:43Speaker 1: Paul Less Clippers heading in to the atl to take
- 15:47Speaker 1: on the Hawks.
- 15:49Speaker 5: Jalen Johnson.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Been balling.
- 15:54Speaker 1: I mean he's all the way up to ten one,
- 15:56Speaker 1: which is crazy to think. Congwo has been doing pretty good.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Trey Young and Portzingis will miss again tonight, But talk
- 16:02Speaker 1: to me a little bit about this game. Clippers have
- 16:04Speaker 1: lost what fourteen of sixteen something like that. They have
- 16:07Speaker 1: been playing very well. Obviously, just got shellact the other
- 16:10Speaker 1: night in Miami. But talk to me a little bit
- 16:12Speaker 1: about this game, Los Angeles at Atlanta.
- 16:16Speaker 3: Definitely a game I have a ton of interest in
- 16:18Speaker 3: on both sides and for different reasons. The Clippers defense
- 16:22Speaker 3: looks like one of the worst in the league. They're
- 16:24Speaker 3: bottom two in defensive points per possession over the last
- 16:26Speaker 3: two weeks, just behind the Nuggets. They're really bad at
- 16:29Speaker 3: defending and transition, but are kind of okay to below
- 16:32Speaker 3: average pretty much everywhere else. They're twenty eighth in defensive rating,
- 16:36Speaker 3: so really good spot for the Atlanta offense to get
- 16:39Speaker 3: going here. And they're gonna be a little short handed
- 16:40Speaker 3: as well, with no Chris Tops and no Trey Young,
- 16:43Speaker 3: so things are going to be pretty tight on the
- 16:45Speaker 3: Atlanta side. The Hawks defense have been pretty good this season,
- 16:48Speaker 3: but with Chris Hoops Porzingis out, the room defense does
- 16:50Speaker 3: get a little bit worse, and they're not great at rebounding,
- 16:53Speaker 3: So okay spot for Zubac. But I do think that
- 16:57Speaker 3: all three of James Harden why Leonard named Zubac are
- 17:01Speaker 3: pretty strong options tonight, mainly because this team is kind
- 17:05Speaker 3: of on the verge of blowing up, so they're gonna
- 17:08Speaker 3: need to play these guys a ton of minutes. I
- 17:10Speaker 3: think the matchup is pretty tough for James Harden, and
- 17:13Speaker 3: the range of outcomes is really scary because we saw
- 17:16Speaker 3: him only play twenty minutes last game. Tylu will do
- 17:18Speaker 3: this a ton of times, like if they're getting beat
- 17:20Speaker 3: up in the first half, he'll just pull the plug.
- 17:23Speaker 3: But he did bring back in Kawhi and Zubak towards
- 17:25Speaker 3: the end of the Miami game, as that kind of
- 17:27Speaker 3: made it a little bit of a run James Harden.
- 17:29Speaker 3: I mean, the range of outcomes I would say on
- 17:31Speaker 3: a Norman Knight is probably like thirty, but he could
- 17:34Speaker 3: get all the way up to seventy. And while I
- 17:36Speaker 3: do think the matchup is tough, I think that he's
- 17:39Speaker 3: gonna have to play like thirty six plus minutes tonight,
- 17:41Speaker 3: So that alone kind of gets me interested in him.
- 17:44Speaker 3: I prefer the matchup for Kawhi a pretty big way,
- 17:46Speaker 3: whether it's gonna be zachary Yshochet or Jalen Johnson defending him.
- 17:50Speaker 3: The Wings have been kind of the spot you want
- 17:53Speaker 3: to attack the Atlanta team, and he's been playing really well,
- 17:55Speaker 3: been hyper efficient shooting the ball. Played thirty minutes last game,
- 17:59Speaker 3: so we might get like thirty two to thirty three
- 18:01Speaker 3: from him, which would be really good at his eight
- 18:03Speaker 3: point one k price tag, So prefer him over Harden.
- 18:06Speaker 4: And then for.
- 18:06Speaker 3: Zubac, it's just he's gonna have a really big size
- 18:08Speaker 3: advantage and they're gonna have to play him a ton
- 18:10Speaker 3: of minutes.
- 18:11Speaker 4: So he's pretty good.
- 18:12Speaker 3: But I do wonder what like the true ceiling is
- 18:15Speaker 3: for a guy like Kim, who's probably the fourth option
- 18:18Speaker 3: in offense, really just gonna need like an eighteen rebound
- 18:21Speaker 3: performance and some easy buckets around the basket, which he
- 18:24Speaker 3: could do. So I think that I would rank those
- 18:26Speaker 3: three guys as Kawhi, Harden, and then Zubak, but definitely
- 18:29Speaker 3: interested in all three of them. And then John Collins
- 18:32Speaker 3: and Chris Dunn are kind of last man in type plays.
- 18:34Speaker 3: I think they're both fine, but nothing I'm really running
- 18:36Speaker 3: to play there. It's gonna be the top three guys
- 18:38Speaker 3: for the Clippers for me. And then on the Atlanta side,
- 18:41Speaker 3: love Jalen Johnson here been playing great, playing a ton
- 18:45Speaker 3: of minutes and his role has just been as good
- 18:48Speaker 3: as it can be for somebody. He's like one of
- 18:50Speaker 3: the best roles in the league just from like a
- 18:51Speaker 3: touches and touch time standpoint, and in the games that
- 18:55Speaker 3: Trey and Porzinis have missed missed the season, he's at
- 18:58Speaker 3: twenty nine percent usage rate, five percent assist percentage, seventeen
- 19:01Speaker 3: percent rebounding rate, and one point five to five fantasy
- 19:04Speaker 3: points for a minutes.
- 19:05Speaker 4: So I would say if.
- 19:05Speaker 3: Somebody asked me if he's worthy of the ten K
- 19:08Speaker 3: price tag, that I would say for sure, because he's
- 19:10Speaker 3: looked really, really good and he has seventy plus DK
- 19:13Speaker 3: point upside, So I like him a ton in this matchup,
- 19:16Speaker 3: a game that he should be able to get out
- 19:17Speaker 3: in transition versus team that is old and slow, So
- 19:20Speaker 3: I like him a good bit. Same thing for a Congo,
- 19:22Speaker 3: He's going to play a ton as long as Porson
- 19:24Speaker 3: this is out. Zubac has been below average at defending
- 19:28Speaker 3: centers this season. They he was really good last year
- 19:31Speaker 3: just with the rim protection all that, all the numbers
- 19:33Speaker 3: were really good, but this season they're average to below
- 19:36Speaker 3: average there and they're bottom nine and DVP against centers
- 19:38Speaker 3: this season. So a good amount to like about a
- 19:42Speaker 3: Congo's matchup here and then for Dyson and Naw, I
- 19:46Speaker 3: do prefer Dyson here, and the main reason is that
- 19:49Speaker 3: the Clippers are terrible at keeping the ball away from
- 19:53Speaker 3: the other away from opponents. They're bottom three and turnover
- 19:56Speaker 3: percentage of season, so a really big plus for a
- 19:58Speaker 3: guy like Dyson Daniels, who we've seen some really really
- 20:00Speaker 3: big games in the steel department from him. So I
- 20:03Speaker 3: think he's a pretty solid option some point two k Yeah,
- 20:08Speaker 3: lots of liking this game though, for sure. I think
- 20:10Speaker 3: I'm gonna have one of two pieces in a lot
- 20:12Speaker 3: of my lineups.
- 20:15Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent stuff there, So Kawhi, he's been playing right
- 20:17Speaker 1: around thirty minutes. I mean, he's still shot the ball
- 20:20Speaker 1: twenty plus times in three straight games. So, like you said,
- 20:23Speaker 1: he's been hyper efficient, I think is the word that
- 20:25Speaker 1: you use. So excellent breakdown there. And Angela, Angela knows
- 20:29Speaker 1: what's up. She knows where to come to find the
- 20:31Speaker 1: best breakdown in the NBA streets. It's my guy, Rio
- 20:34Speaker 1: Hebrew Cheeta, Angela. We certainly appreciate you tuning in. We
- 20:37Speaker 1: certainly appreciate this little nugget here, that little neck threw
- 20:40Speaker 1: in the chat. That's great stuff, great insight that you
- 20:43Speaker 1: added added here. Jalen Johnson ten to one, and that's
- 20:46Speaker 1: that's wild for me to see James Harden. Someone mentioned
- 20:50Speaker 1: it though rio he was in Miami, had a bad game.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Now he's in atl And is he gonna have a
- 20:56Speaker 1: good game, He's gonna have a bad game. We know
- 20:57Speaker 1: they can stay out late in both of those cities,
- 20:59Speaker 1: so that maybe maybe they're onto something. If Harden's doing
- 21:02Speaker 1: other things besides focusing on basketball.
- 21:05Speaker 2: Let's go to my boy though.
- 21:06Speaker 1: On the next game, we got the Hornets and the
- 21:09Speaker 1: Khanka Nipple led Hornets going in to Madison Square Garden
- 21:13Speaker 1: to take on Jalb Bronson, Josh.
- 21:14Speaker 2: Hart and Crue.
- 21:15Speaker 1: This should be a good one up and down the
- 21:17Speaker 1: fair as well. We got the Knicks eight and a
- 21:19Speaker 1: half point favorites. Any love for LaMelo, any love for
- 21:22Speaker 1: any of these Knicks talk to me this game Hornets
- 21:24Speaker 1: at New York.
- 21:26Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:26Speaker 3: I definitely think that you can get into some of
- 21:28Speaker 3: the Charlotte stuff here with it being a back to
- 21:29Speaker 3: back for the Knicks. And the main reason is because
- 21:33Speaker 3: Brandon Miller and Trey Men are out, so that will
- 21:36Speaker 3: condense some of the usage definitely on LaMelo, but con
- 21:38Speaker 3: gets a little bit better from a point per minute
- 21:41Speaker 3: standpoint there. And I think there's a lot to like
- 21:43Speaker 3: about Knipple's matchup, in particular with the way that the
- 21:47Speaker 3: Next gave of a ton of threes this season. They're
- 21:49Speaker 3: bottom four and three points three point is allowed per game.
- 21:53Speaker 3: Both these teams are really good at rebounding the ball,
- 21:55Speaker 3: but taking away I got like Mitchell Robinson could hurt
- 21:57Speaker 3: the Knicks a little bit. I'm not really too worried
- 22:00Speaker 3: a lot about that, but the Knicks are doing a
- 22:02Speaker 3: really good job at limiting pick and rolls this season,
- 22:05Speaker 3: and the Hornets are running a ton obviously through LaMelo
- 22:08Speaker 3: and Bridges and Kniple, So not a great spot for
- 22:11Speaker 3: LaMelo to get his scoring going. But we did see
- 22:14Speaker 3: him put up a pretty solid fantasy outing last time out,
- 22:17Speaker 3: in large part due to the fourteen assists. He had
- 22:19Speaker 3: nineteen potential assists in that game against the Nets. But
- 22:22Speaker 3: kind of lines up in a similar way the way
- 22:24Speaker 3: that both those teams play defense where they want to
- 22:26Speaker 3: take away the pick and roll, and that will lead
- 22:27Speaker 3: to some of these off ball scores like Knipple having
- 22:30Speaker 3: good games. The thing I like by LaMelo though, is
- 22:33Speaker 3: that his permanent rates do increase in a pretty big way.
- 22:36Speaker 3: With Brandon Miller off the court the season and him
- 22:38Speaker 3: getting up to thirty minutes is pretty encouraging because if
- 22:41Speaker 3: he's starting to play like thirty two to thirty four again,
- 22:44Speaker 3: eight point five K is a really good price egg
- 22:46Speaker 3: for a guy that we know that has multi stet upside,
- 22:50Speaker 3: So I do have interest in him in this matchup.
- 22:53Speaker 3: Don't really like Miles Bridges at Ak, just not really
- 22:56Speaker 3: encouraged about what I've seen from lay Lee. There's also
- 22:58Speaker 3: a lot of trade talk around, so don't really feel
- 23:02Speaker 3: too comfort about going there. But like I said, I
- 23:04Speaker 3: do like Canipple as six point seven K with Miller out,
- 23:07Speaker 3: really good spot for him to get up a ton
- 23:08Speaker 3: of Thre's been shooting the ball really well from three
- 23:11Speaker 3: point range this season, playing a lot of minutes, so
- 23:13Speaker 3: he's I think I like him a little bit more
- 23:15Speaker 3: than LaMelo just for the salary savings and I like
- 23:19Speaker 3: what I've seen from an upside standpoint, so he's a
- 23:21Speaker 3: really good option. Tonight for the Knicks, it's Kat and Brunts,
- 23:24Speaker 3: and they both have really good matchups. Tonight, Kat did
- 23:27Speaker 3: really well, and the last time these teams met, which
- 23:29Speaker 3: was like less than a week ago, he was killing
- 23:32Speaker 3: Kach Brenner in the first half, but then they switched
- 23:33Speaker 3: and went diabots in the second half. So if they
- 23:35Speaker 3: do that again here, I don't really think that's a
- 23:37Speaker 3: reason to get off of Kat because at nine point
- 23:39Speaker 3: three K price set is really good for a guy
- 23:42Speaker 3: that beats up on these types of centers, so I
- 23:44Speaker 3: do have a lot of interest in him. For Brunson,
- 23:46Speaker 3: I think that he should get a lot of points
- 23:48Speaker 3: in this game, but with Heart in there and McHale,
- 23:52Speaker 3: Bridges and McBride kind of take away some of the handling.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Like I mentioned last night, it's tough for him to
- 23:57Speaker 3: really put up big fantasy scores because he's not a
- 24:00Speaker 3: ton of the peripheral stats. He did get a double
- 24:02Speaker 3: double last game, but that came at the expense of
- 24:05Speaker 3: him scoring only had fifteen points in that game, still
- 24:07Speaker 3: took a ton of shots, just didn't.
- 24:09Speaker 4: Shoot the ball well.
- 24:10Speaker 3: I kind of think it's mostly one or the other
- 24:12Speaker 3: for him, so I don't really feel too confident about
- 24:15Speaker 3: paying a point a K for him. I do like
- 24:18Speaker 3: Josh Hart here though, at seven point nine K. He's
- 24:20Speaker 3: been doing a lot of everything, and with Mitch Robinson
- 24:23Speaker 3: off the court, the rebounding rates do increase up to
- 24:25Speaker 3: fifteen percent. The assists sit around twenty one percent. So
- 24:29Speaker 3: there is an outcome in this good matchup versus Charlotte
- 24:31Speaker 3: where he could come away with a triple double, but
- 24:33Speaker 3: I do think that a double double is well within
- 24:36Speaker 3: the range of outcomes. He's been shooting the ball really
- 24:38Speaker 3: well this season, so I like Heart probably the most
- 24:40Speaker 3: of the three Knicks. And then I think Bridges and
- 24:44Speaker 3: McBride are fine. But there's nothing really that stands out
- 24:48Speaker 3: about the matchup for Bridges. It's just that the Hornets
- 24:50Speaker 3: are kind of below average in transition, and he could
- 24:53Speaker 3: definitely get to go in there. But I think on
- 24:56Speaker 3: more most often than not, it's going to be and
- 25:00Speaker 3: Brunston doing a lot of the heavy lifting on offense,
- 25:02Speaker 3: so he's kind of third to fourth option.
- 25:06Speaker 2: You know, I love my three pointers?
- 25:08Speaker 5: How are the Knicks in guarding the three point shot?
- 25:11Speaker 2: They give up a bunch.
- 25:13Speaker 4: Yeah, they give up the fourth most per game, fourthmost.
- 25:15Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I got a Rocketsace said that Harden
- 25:18Speaker 1: he gets all the partying out in Miami goes to
- 25:20Speaker 1: atl and puts on a show something to monitor. Can
- 25:23Speaker 1: I interest you in any mellow triple double action Rio
- 25:26Speaker 1: at plus two twenty six hundred.
- 25:30Speaker 3: I probably wouldn't, but I wouldn't talk somebody off of it.
- 25:34Speaker 3: It's just he's not playing enough minutes for him to
- 25:37Speaker 3: really get there. I would like on a regular night,
- 25:39Speaker 3: I would say yeah, if he was playing thirty six minutes.
- 25:42Speaker 3: But he's probably playing, like on the high end, thirty two.
- 25:45Speaker 1: So yeah, we haven't projected for thirty right there, as
- 25:48Speaker 1: you can see on the stone. Excellent stuff there. That
- 25:51Speaker 1: does it for the seven thirty PM tips.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Moving into the.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Eight o'clock PM tips, we got the got the never
- 25:57Speaker 1: NEETs for your boy Ham taking on the bulls having
- 26:01Speaker 1: laundry lists of folks that are gonna be questionable for
- 26:04Speaker 1: this game, and I we know White is out heard
- 26:07Speaker 1: or is out that I saw yesterday.
- 26:09Speaker 5: Pretty much everybody else not pretty much everybody else, but
- 26:12Speaker 5: a lot of.
- 26:12Speaker 1: Other people are questionable. Giddy Vooch Bezells would be some
- 26:16Speaker 1: of the ones that are not. This is quite questionable.
- 26:18Speaker 1: I love my guy Giddy at ninety eight hundred, but
- 26:21Speaker 1: talk to me a little bit about this game Brooklyn
- 26:24Speaker 1: with no Cam Thomas Steel, no Terrence Man going into
- 26:27Speaker 1: the Windy City to take on these bulls.
- 26:31Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna I think I could definitely talk to
- 26:33Speaker 3: you into some of these Bulls or these Nets tonight
- 26:35Speaker 3: because it's a really really good matchup, really good game environment.
- 26:39Speaker 3: Definitely a lot to like about both these sides. I
- 26:42Speaker 3: see that Yegor Demon and MPJ are both questionable, but
- 26:45Speaker 3: I think that's mainly because they have not they haven't
- 26:50Speaker 3: filed their injury report yet, so I just want to
- 26:52Speaker 3: take a look before I break that down in case
- 26:54Speaker 3: I missed it, because there's just been a ton of
- 26:56Speaker 3: news flowing today.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Yeah, Demon was he was Chalky the other night. I
- 27:01Speaker 1: felt like maybe Monday night. Yeah, there was a lot
- 27:04Speaker 1: of people down.
- 27:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kind of kicking myself for playing a lot
- 27:08Speaker 3: of him because that just felt like such a fish play.
- 27:10Speaker 3: I mean, he I don't know, just a lot of
- 27:13Speaker 3: projection systems were really high in him that game because
- 27:16Speaker 3: they saw him have one good game, but that came
- 27:19Speaker 3: with MPG out. MPJ has really just had a massive
- 27:22Speaker 3: role for the Nets a season, so it just felt
- 27:24Speaker 3: really bad to go right back to them and at
- 27:26Speaker 3: chalk if you faded him, you're probably feeling pretty good
- 27:29Speaker 3: about that.
- 27:30Speaker 1: The Hey, real quick, I know the Bulls are a
- 27:33Speaker 1: good matchup, But does it matter at all that the
- 27:34Speaker 1: players on the Nets suck at basketball?
- 27:37Speaker 5: Does that matter to you at all?
- 27:38Speaker 4: I wouldn't say the Bulls are much better.
- 27:40Speaker 3: I mean they they started out five and zero and
- 27:43Speaker 3: everybody was saying they had a great defense. But this
- 27:45Speaker 3: team is not very good. I mean, I wouldn't say
- 27:48Speaker 3: they're They're probably a little bit better than them talent wise.
- 27:52Speaker 3: Obviously Giddy and Fouc they have some real NBA players,
- 27:55Speaker 3: But the Nets have been playing decently. I think they
- 27:58Speaker 3: have a good coach too, so they have a chance
- 28:01Speaker 3: to keep this game close. I think it stays closer
- 28:03Speaker 3: than the six and a half point spread would indicate.
- 28:07Speaker 3: But yeah, how this game matches up. Both teams are
- 28:10Speaker 3: really bad with the room protection. The Bulls are dead last,
- 28:13Speaker 3: and then the Nets are one of the worst transition
- 28:15Speaker 3: defenses in the league, bottom four in transition defense. The
- 28:18Speaker 3: Bulls are number one in transition offense. They're going to
- 28:21Speaker 3: look to play fast and get to the basket. The
- 28:23Speaker 3: Nets are also one of the worst rebounding teams in
- 28:25Speaker 3: the league, so could see a pretty big spike in
- 28:28Speaker 3: rebounds from some of these guys. On the bull side,
- 28:31Speaker 3: I think MPJ is in a really good spot here
- 28:33Speaker 3: against probably Matas Bozels and whatever other wings that they're
- 28:36Speaker 3: going to throw at him. It was really encouraging to
- 28:38Speaker 3: see him return from the I think it was the
- 28:41Speaker 3: back injury and then play thirty six minutes right off
- 28:43Speaker 3: the bat. He's just had a really really strong usage
- 28:46Speaker 3: role for the Nets the season and shown really good
- 28:48Speaker 3: upside at his price tag. So in a game environment
- 28:51Speaker 3: that I expect to play fast, he's probably the guy
- 28:53Speaker 3: that I would look to on the Nets. It's either
- 28:56Speaker 3: him or Claxon. I think that I probably have Clackson
- 28:58Speaker 3: a little b ahead of him, actually, because this is
- 29:01Speaker 3: just one of the best matchups possible. The Bulls are
- 29:02Speaker 3: allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing centers
- 29:05Speaker 3: this season. Give him a ton of rebounds to run
- 29:08Speaker 3: a ton of points, and he's done really well against
- 29:10Speaker 3: them dating back to last season. From a point per
- 29:12Speaker 3: minute standpoint. He's healthy right now, playing a good amount
- 29:16Speaker 3: of minutes. I think that he's a really really strong
- 29:18Speaker 3: option tonight, and he's historically done really good in matchups.
- 29:22Speaker 4: That he should do good, should do good again.
- 29:24Speaker 3: So you look at his like against Washington, he put
- 29:27Speaker 3: up forty five, against Charlotte put up forty one. They
- 29:30Speaker 3: had the random triple double game against Boston. But yeah,
- 29:33Speaker 3: I think that there's a lot to like about Nick
- 29:35Speaker 3: Clason's matchups. I like him the most on the net side.
- 29:39Speaker 3: He's like probably a top center play on the entire
- 29:42Speaker 3: slate for me, I would say, And then you get
- 29:44Speaker 3: to the guy the secondary options like Clowney. I'm not
- 29:47Speaker 3: looking to get go back to Deman because I just
- 29:49Speaker 3: think that he's not very good while MPJA is on
- 29:51Speaker 3: the court. But no, Clowney does have pretty appealing minutes upside,
- 29:57Speaker 3: and a game that should play fast paced is make
- 29:59Speaker 3: him a little bit better, So I think he'd be okay.
- 30:03Speaker 4: And then on the bull side, I'll.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Talk about the three guys that I like here, and
- 30:08Speaker 3: then if we get any of these guys that are
- 30:11Speaker 3: gonna be listed questionable out then it just makes them
- 30:14Speaker 3: that much better. But I think all these guys are
- 30:16Speaker 3: really good regardless. For Giddy, I would say the scoring
- 30:19Speaker 3: matchup for him is really tough because he gets about
- 30:21Speaker 3: forty one percent of his positions in pick and roll.
- 30:24Speaker 3: The Nets are one of the best pick and roll
- 30:25Speaker 3: defenses in the league, so I don't really think that
- 30:28Speaker 3: he's got a plus matchup there. But a way that
- 30:31Speaker 3: he could get some scoring going is with how bad
- 30:33Speaker 3: the Nets are with their transition defense. He's this team
- 30:36Speaker 3: is going to look to get out and run. They
- 30:37Speaker 3: play very fast pace, and he's got the triple double
- 30:40Speaker 3: upside with the Nets being one of the worst rebounding teams,
- 30:43Speaker 3: I could see him just kind of like get down
- 30:46Speaker 3: downhill towards the basket, not really asked for to me
- 30:48Speaker 3: pick and rolls, and then get some you know, the
- 30:50Speaker 3: potential assists and rebound stuff. I do think that he
- 30:52Speaker 3: has some upside, but I don't really love the matchup
- 30:55Speaker 3: for him. In particular, A guy that I do love
- 30:58Speaker 3: the matchup for and he's not going to a ton
- 31:00Speaker 3: of ownership, but he can only get better, I think
- 31:03Speaker 3: is Matas Buzzellis at six K. He played twenty one
- 31:07Speaker 3: second half minutes last game that Kevin Hurder got injured,
- 31:09Speaker 3: so I don't think that he's going to play forty
- 31:11Speaker 3: regulation minutes. But he's probably playing thirty six minutes on
- 31:14Speaker 3: the like his median outcome for minutes is probably thirty six,
- 31:17Speaker 3: with the upside for more if he is playing well,
- 31:20Speaker 3: and then all these question techs if they do get
- 31:22Speaker 3: ruled out, there's a really good chance he's playing a
- 31:23Speaker 3: lot of minutes. But he's a guy that can score
- 31:26Speaker 3: really well around the basket, really good transition score, and
- 31:29Speaker 3: he's averaging one point two Fantasy points per minute with
- 31:31Speaker 3: Kobe White and heard her off the court of the seasons.
- 31:33Speaker 3: That's really good for somebody price at six K that's
- 31:36Speaker 3: probably playing thirty four to thirty six minutes. So he's
- 31:39Speaker 3: my favorite option on the nets. I think you can
- 31:41Speaker 3: make a very good correlated lineup with Matas Buzzellis and
- 31:45Speaker 3: one of mpj or Clason. Probably gonna be a way
- 31:49Speaker 3: that I look to start a lot of lineps tonight
- 31:50Speaker 3: because I do like that spot for both of them.
- 31:54Speaker 3: And then for Ioh, he's going to be playing a
- 31:55Speaker 3: lot of minutes and he could have a lot more
- 31:58Speaker 3: handling go his way if Trade Jones were to be out,
- 32:01Speaker 3: If Tree Jones is out, I guess we could look
- 32:03Speaker 3: at Javon Carter. I'm not sure if he would start,
- 32:05Speaker 3: but he's at mind price. So if that allows you
- 32:07Speaker 3: to get to Jokic and some of these other spind
- 32:09Speaker 3: ups that we liked, then I'd be I'd be cool
- 32:11Speaker 3: with that.
- 32:13Speaker 4: Yeah, I like I like a lot in this game
- 32:15Speaker 4: for sure though.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Yeah, this game is juicy Michael Porter Jr. And you know,
- 32:20Speaker 1: going back to Fando, I know we do a lot
- 32:21Speaker 1: of DK talk. Eighty two hundred bucks is a good price.
- 32:24Speaker 1: Then all the not all the bulls, A lot of
- 32:25Speaker 1: the bulls are less expensive over on fandals.
- 32:28Speaker 2: So this game is going to.
- 32:29Speaker 5: Uh this, this game is gonna take have a lot
- 32:33Speaker 5: of ownership.
- 32:33Speaker 1: In my opinion, I've seen a couple uh former Michigan
- 32:36Speaker 1: Wolverine Great Danny Wolf questioned in the chat any any
- 32:40Speaker 1: interest in Wolf coming off the bench? He had what
- 32:43Speaker 1: thirty semi DraftKings points a couple of nights ago. But
- 32:45Speaker 1: any love for my god Danny Wolf?
- 32:49Speaker 4: Probably not.
- 32:50Speaker 3: I don't really think there's any reason for them to
- 32:52Speaker 3: get him more minutes than usual tonight. I would say, uh,
- 32:56Speaker 3: Like Little Neck said, it is a back to back
- 32:59Speaker 3: front end of a back to back for Brooklyn. So
- 33:00Speaker 3: if we get the if it's like Clackson and MPJ
- 33:04Speaker 3: is sitting tomorrow tomorrow, then we could definitely look to
- 33:06Speaker 3: Daniel Wolf, but I don't really think that you need
- 33:08Speaker 3: to go there tonight.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Good stuff. Newan says, it's going to be a clax
- 33:12Speaker 1: Daddy running back with Besella's and you're off to the
- 33:15Speaker 1: races there all right, Rio, We're headed down the home stretch.
- 33:19Speaker 1: I think we got three games left. We got the Kings.
- 33:23Speaker 1: The Kings headed into h Town to take on the Rockets. Hey,
- 33:28Speaker 1: the ore Utah Jazz did us a good favorite the
- 33:30Speaker 1: of the night, Rio getting that dub against these Rockets.
- 33:33Speaker 1: I know you never like Kevin Durant, but he's coming
- 33:35Speaker 1: off back to back forty eight plus point games, Rio,
- 33:38Speaker 1: So any love for any of these Rockets, any love
- 33:42Speaker 1: for any of these Kings.
- 33:44Speaker 5: Who will once again be without your boys?
- 33:46Speaker 2: The bonus?
- 33:48Speaker 3: Uh, this one's very easy for me to break down.
- 33:50Speaker 3: Kings are going to be a team that I just
- 33:52Speaker 3: hit the X out button on. I just think that
- 33:54Speaker 3: there's no chance of to keep this game close. Houston
- 33:56Speaker 3: one of the best overall teams in the league. I
- 33:58Speaker 3: know that Utah was able to hang around, but I
- 34:00Speaker 3: think Utah is a better overall team right now than
- 34:03Speaker 3: the Kings are, So no Kings for me tonight. For
- 34:06Speaker 3: the Houston side, it's gonna be Sengoon as the priority
- 34:10Speaker 3: play for me. The power forwards center eligibility is really
- 34:13Speaker 3: big on tonight's like, because if we do get some
- 34:15Speaker 3: value and that at the center spot, then Sengoon will
- 34:19Speaker 3: be a guy that a lot of rosters will flood to,
- 34:20Speaker 3: and it's a really good matchup for him. With the
- 34:23Speaker 3: way the Kings just give up a ton of fantasy
- 34:25Speaker 3: points to opposing centers, and with Steven Adams listened questionable,
- 34:29Speaker 3: we probably get more center minutes out of Singoon tonight
- 34:31Speaker 3: away from Steven Adams. So that'd be very appealing for
- 34:34Speaker 3: a guy like seng Gun coming off of a really
- 34:37Speaker 3: big game in a loss, and they're probably gonna want
- 34:39Speaker 3: to get a win tonight, or obviously they want to
- 34:41Speaker 3: get a win tonight, but they're gonna be playing these
- 34:42Speaker 3: guys heavy minutes.
- 34:44Speaker 4: So I like Sengoon a good bit. I think Katie's fine.
- 34:48Speaker 3: They okay, So that's cool that they made Kevin Durant
- 34:51Speaker 3: shooting guard eligible now kind of crazy to see. I
- 34:54Speaker 3: don't think that he's ever had that eligibility as long
- 34:57Speaker 3: as DraftKings and FANDO have been a thing. But that's
- 35:00Speaker 3: definitely reasonable because they have been starting him at shooting
- 35:02Speaker 3: guard sometimes. So yeah, I think he's fine. A point
- 35:04Speaker 3: three k's right about where I'd be fine playing Kevin Durant.
- 35:07Speaker 3: I think anything a little bit more expensive starts to
- 35:10Speaker 3: get tougher for him to pay off. But he's gonna
- 35:13Speaker 3: have the toughest matchup of the starters for Houston. I
- 35:17Speaker 3: think it's gonna be Keegan Murray on him. I don't
- 35:19Speaker 3: think Kegan Murray is like a lockdown defender by any means,
- 35:21Speaker 3: but he's definitely above average on defense. So I think
- 35:26Speaker 3: these are neutral play. I thinks Sengoon is very good,
- 35:28Speaker 3: and then everybody else in Houston is kind of just fine.
- 35:31Speaker 3: I don't really think that I want to go there
- 35:32Speaker 3: too much. So not a very appealing game, Bob.
- 35:38Speaker 2: He just said X out all the Kings.
- 35:41Speaker 1: That includes former Houston Rocket great Russell Westbrook, not getting
- 35:45Speaker 1: any Russell Westbrook love. We got a revenge narrative, Rio,
- 35:48Speaker 1: if you're into revenge narratives, we got the former MVP
- 35:51Speaker 1: taking on his old mates. They'll build the statue outside
- 35:54Speaker 1: of the arena one day for mister Westbrook.
- 35:57Speaker 2: But moving on to the next game.
- 35:58Speaker 1: We got two games left, makes you doing us a
- 36:00Speaker 1: favorite hit that like hit that subscribe button. We got
- 36:03Speaker 1: new ins this favorite team. You better get a good
- 36:05Speaker 1: look at Giannis now Newan's because he won't be there
- 36:07Speaker 1: much longer. Taking on these Pistons should be a good
- 36:11Speaker 1: real life game. Gianis all the way up to eleven four.
- 36:17Speaker 1: Kevin Porter Junior was balling the other night. Talked to
- 36:19Speaker 1: him a little bit about this game. Kate Cuttingham and
- 36:21Speaker 1: Crewe headed into Milwaukee. It's got to be like fifteen
- 36:24Speaker 1: degrees there, I would imagine, but pistons.
- 36:27Speaker 2: At the Bucks Rio.
- 36:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 36:30Speaker 3: From a DFS perspective, I don't think this game looks
- 36:33Speaker 3: too great. There were some a couple of games last
- 36:36Speaker 3: season where the games really popped off in a big way.
- 36:38Speaker 3: But Detroit looks like a different team right now. They're
- 36:40Speaker 3: just playing really good on the defensive end, so I
- 36:42Speaker 3: think they could neutralize a lot of the strengths for Milwaukee.
- 36:46Speaker 3: If you're really considering anybody in Milwaukee, it's obviously going
- 36:48Speaker 3: to be Yannis. But I mean, you have to wonder
- 36:51Speaker 3: like with all the news coming out, like how many
- 36:52Speaker 3: minutes he's actually gonna play, how invested he is into
- 36:56Speaker 3: the season. Maybe it's just a lot of I don't know,
- 36:59Speaker 3: like just not true stuff coming out. I kind of
- 37:02Speaker 3: feel like it more than likely is. But he's probably
- 37:05Speaker 3: not playing more than thirty two minutes tonight, so even
- 37:08Speaker 3: then he could pay off his price tag. But I
- 37:09Speaker 3: had look to get away from him tonight, just with
- 37:12Speaker 3: how tough the matchup is on the Detroit side. I
- 37:16Speaker 3: do like Caid though at ten point six K. He's
- 37:18Speaker 3: been playing really well, and I think that the Bucks
- 37:21Speaker 3: really are lacking some on boll defenders of his size
- 37:26Speaker 3: that could really slow him down. He put up fifty
- 37:28Speaker 3: nine DK points against the Bucks earlier this season kind
- 37:31Speaker 3: of an effortless fashion, and then he had sixty six
- 37:34Speaker 3: and a half and seventy one DK points against them
- 37:36Speaker 3: last season. Elite role, probably the best point guard role
- 37:39Speaker 3: in the entire league. I think he's a really good
- 37:41Speaker 3: option at ten point six K. That'd be probably it
- 37:44Speaker 3: for me on Detroit, though they're getting healthier, so I
- 37:47Speaker 3: don't really think that Durren playing at most thirty minutes
- 37:51Speaker 3: a night is really an option, and then Asar and
- 37:54Speaker 3: Tobias Harris don't really excite me too much, so I
- 37:56Speaker 3: think it's just kid and then you should probably keep
- 38:00Speaker 3: seen the playpool because he can get there. But I'm
- 38:03Speaker 3: kind of okay looking away from him. KPJ is questionable.
- 38:06Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna really change too much because
- 38:08Speaker 3: we've seen this story a few times this season and
- 38:11Speaker 3: he missed most of the season, just came back from
- 38:13Speaker 3: the injury. So it doesn't really make Ryan Rawlins or
- 38:17Speaker 3: like a J Green or Gary Trent great options. It
- 38:19Speaker 3: just makes I guess 'annest a little bit better. But
- 38:23Speaker 3: I think it's just Giannis and the Bucks probably gonna
- 38:25Speaker 3: be a max one from each side of this game.
- 38:30Speaker 1: I was disappointed you didn't mention, you didn't mission KPJ.
- 38:34Speaker 1: No love for Michael's younger brother.
- 38:38Speaker 3: I just mentioned him at the end right there. I
- 38:40Speaker 3: don't really think that you need to. I'm not going
- 38:43Speaker 3: to really look to play KPg off a questionable tag.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Okay, all right, coming off a fifty point game, I
- 38:48Speaker 1: think he'll get some ownership. I know it'll be popular
- 38:50Speaker 1: over on Fandel excellent stuff. There one game left on
- 38:54Speaker 1: the slate. We got the heat going into Dallas.
- 38:57Speaker 2: The last game. I like it Rio. It's the eight tip.
- 39:01Speaker 5: So we'll get all the news, We'll get all the
- 39:02Speaker 5: games in before.
- 39:03Speaker 2: Your boy Ham hits the sack. But got Hero back.
- 39:07Speaker 1: You got Norman Powell. We have him listed as in
- 39:09Speaker 1: right there, but he is out if I'm not mistaken.
- 39:12Speaker 1: So does that open up any shots and minutes for
- 39:14Speaker 1: anybody else taking on this Mavericks team? Ryan nim hardbin Ballin,
- 39:18Speaker 1: Cooper Flagg had a couple good games. We talked about
- 39:20Speaker 1: this game, super high total almost two hundred and forty
- 39:23Speaker 1: points Miami minus five in Dallas.
- 39:26Speaker 4: Yeah, I like this game a lot.
- 39:28Speaker 3: For a game that is gonna very likely play fast
- 39:32Speaker 3: paced and high scoring. It's not getting a ton of ownership,
- 39:34Speaker 3: which is very enticing. And then you take away a
- 39:37Speaker 3: guy like Norm Powell who has been doing a ton
- 39:40Speaker 3: of the heavy lifting on offense. Like there's a lot
- 39:42Speaker 3: to like about a couple guys on Miami. I think
- 39:45Speaker 3: that Tyler Hero is the main one. At seven point
- 39:47Speaker 3: seven k getting healthier thirty two minutes is I'd say,
- 39:51Speaker 3: in the low end what he gets. But there's a
- 39:52Speaker 3: chance with us being his fifth game back from injury
- 39:56Speaker 3: that he starts to get up there a little bit more.
- 39:58Speaker 3: They do like to run a very deep rotation because
- 40:00Speaker 3: they play so fast that these guys just can get tired.
- 40:03Speaker 3: So shorter stints has helped them out a lot. But
- 40:06Speaker 3: Pelly Larson is also questionable who is a main rotation piece,
- 40:09Speaker 3: so that would thin it out a little bit more.
- 40:12Speaker 3: That might just get a guy like Yovic back into
- 40:14Speaker 3: the mix, or maybe Keisha Johnson gets a little bit
- 40:16Speaker 3: more minutes. But I do like, I do like Tyler
- 40:19Speaker 3: Hero good bit here. His on off stuff with Norm
- 40:24Speaker 3: Powell out the season has been really good, something like
- 40:28Speaker 3: let me see.
- 40:28Speaker 4: If I have it here.
- 40:30Speaker 3: Yeah, about one point three six Fantasy points for a minute,
- 40:33Speaker 3: which is really good for somebody at seven point seven K.
- 40:35Speaker 3: So like Hero the most on Miami, and then I
- 40:38Speaker 3: think you can get into the Wiggins and the Haimi
- 40:40Speaker 3: Hawk ases, and I don't really think I want to
- 40:44Speaker 3: play Pelly Larson at Chalk if that number is true,
- 40:46Speaker 3: So I'm okay getting away from that, but I think
- 40:49Speaker 3: Hero is the best option. And then Bam probably second best,
- 40:52Speaker 3: coming off of a really big game against I guess
- 40:55Speaker 3: the Clippers, and it's nice to see that he can
- 40:58Speaker 3: have that type of upside playing alongside a fully healthy team.
- 41:02Speaker 3: So take away Norman Powell does make him a little
- 41:04Speaker 3: bit better, but it is a tough matchup with Anthony
- 41:05Speaker 3: Davis over there now. So I think Hero is the
- 41:08Speaker 3: main piece I'm looking to on Miami, and then I
- 41:12Speaker 3: would say everybody else is kind of okay. I think
- 41:15Speaker 3: hockey is at five point six k is actually a
- 41:17Speaker 3: pretty good price sag for him, considering that he's probably
- 41:20Speaker 3: back up to thirty minutes with Norman powlell out on
- 41:23Speaker 3: the Dallas side. Yeah, I like all of Antony Davis,
- 41:26Speaker 3: Cooper Flag, and Ryan Namhart. I think they're all pretty
- 41:29Speaker 3: good here ad probably getting closer to being fully healthy
- 41:32Speaker 3: as well. Thirty two minutes last game, you Sitch was
- 41:34Speaker 3: really good. Took twenty three field goal attempts. A point
- 41:37Speaker 3: ak for a guy like Anthony Davis is really cheap,
- 41:40Speaker 3: so I like him a ton and then Cooper Flag.
- 41:42Speaker 3: I think we talked about this a lot earlier in
- 41:44Speaker 3: the season. It was tough to see him struggling at
- 41:48Speaker 3: the beginning of the season where they're trying to make
- 41:50Speaker 3: him a point guard. I think he's a lot better
- 41:51Speaker 3: when you have a true point guard alongside of him.
- 41:53Speaker 3: So we saw had we saw him have a couple
- 41:56Speaker 3: of really big games with de Lo and Brandon Williams
- 41:58Speaker 3: starting alongside. And but now you get guy like Andrew
- 42:00Speaker 3: or Ryan Nemhard, who I would say he's gonna be
- 42:03Speaker 3: a lot more passive than guys like D'Angel Russell and
- 42:09Speaker 3: Brandon Williams. I think is a really big boost for
- 42:11Speaker 3: a guy like Cooper Flag. So he's playing really well,
- 42:14Speaker 3: kind of coming into his own as a pro. The
- 42:17Speaker 3: paint protection for the Heat has been really good this
- 42:20Speaker 3: season with bam Outabaio down there, and colo Ware has
- 42:23Speaker 3: been really good defending the paint. But he's in a
- 42:26Speaker 3: groove right now, and so seven point one k is
- 42:28Speaker 3: a good price seg for a guy that's hit forty
- 42:29Speaker 3: five plus basically in three straight games. I think four
- 42:33Speaker 3: out of his last six have been right around there
- 42:36Speaker 3: as well. So I like Cooper Flag a good bit here,
- 42:39Speaker 3: and then I also like Ryan Nemhard. I thought that
- 42:42Speaker 3: he would get a lot more ownership considering he's just
- 42:44Speaker 3: had a massive game, but I think that they're just
- 42:46Speaker 3: going to really run up his minutes after seeing him
- 42:49Speaker 3: play thirty five minutes last game and do really well.
- 42:52Speaker 3: And his numbers are pretty good with in one hundred
- 42:55Speaker 3: and forty minute sample, twenty percent usage rate, thirty four
- 42:57Speaker 3: percent assist percentage, averaging just under one fantasy point per minute,
- 43:02Speaker 3: and I normally see him getting a ton of ownership.
- 43:03Speaker 3: I think he's probably closer to thirty minutes than he
- 43:05Speaker 3: would be the mid twenties, just with how well he's played.
- 43:08Speaker 4: So I like him a good bit here. I think
- 43:10Speaker 4: he's kind of sneaky.
- 43:15Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff.
- 43:15Speaker 1: Yeah, forty four hundred for him. Nim Martin is dirt cheap,
- 43:18Speaker 1: all right. It's my favorite portion of the show.
- 43:22Speaker 2: Rio.
- 43:22Speaker 4: Let me.
- 43:22Speaker 2: Let me figure out what I want to do. I
- 43:24Speaker 2: think I know who you're gonna say. Let's go.
- 43:28Speaker 4: Let's do you know.
- 43:29Speaker 5: If I don't know, well, I know who you're gonna say,
- 43:32Speaker 5: Ont's I ask the question?
- 43:34Speaker 1: All right, So give me your top point producer, just
- 43:37Speaker 1: overall top point producer on this late tonight.
- 43:41Speaker 4: Oh right, I mean that's it's gotta be yokic.
- 43:44Speaker 1: It's gotta be yokic, all right, And your top point
- 43:47Speaker 1: producer sixty five hundred dollars in.
- 43:49Speaker 3: Below, Okay, between two guys. But I think it's it's
- 43:57Speaker 3: pretty clear. I think it's gonna be Clacks or Buzillis.
- 44:01Speaker 3: Those are two guys that you're.
- 44:02Speaker 2: Gonna say Bazillis. That was my answer. That was that
- 44:05Speaker 2: was who I was going with. I didn't want to
- 44:06Speaker 2: give to six thousand because I would have given another way.
- 44:08Speaker 1: So that's why I said sixty five hundred Bizellis and Claxton,
- 44:12Speaker 1: not Speedy Claxton, my boy Nick Claxton. All right, well,
- 44:16Speaker 1: good stuff there. It was a great show as always.
