0:08
Speaker 1: All system's gone clear. We left on what is going on? Everyone?
0:42
Speaker 1: We are back for a Wednesday edition of the NBA Show.
0:45
Speaker 1: I appreciate all your guys patience, having a little technical
0:48
Speaker 1: difficulties before starting up, but we are good now. Got
0:51
Speaker 1: a full seven game slate, a lot of injury news.
0:55
Speaker 1: If you're on the East coast, probably not a great
0:57
Speaker 1: slate for you because you have to wait until ten
1:00
Speaker 1: thirty or ten pm your time to get some news
1:03
Speaker 1: on Kawhi Leonard. But Matt, how you doing. How's your
1:07
Speaker 1: Wenesday going?
1:07
Speaker 2: Uh?
1:08
Speaker 1: We were just talking about a pre show and I
1:09
Speaker 1: saw a little neck mention it. But yeah, congrats on
1:11
Speaker 1: the League of legendship or last night.
1:13
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.
1:14
Speaker 2: Man.
1:15
Speaker 3: Nice to like we were talking about see her name
1:17
Speaker 3: up top and anything, even if it's just a smaller
1:20
Speaker 3: contests than what yeah, man, a little bit. It's oh, oh.
1:34
Speaker 1: Well, we knew that this might happen. Matt.
1:37
Speaker 3: If you can't hear we should be good to go
1:40
Speaker 3: now and be pitt for the rest.
1:42
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna get Matt. You can
1:49
Speaker 1: you hear me? Can you? Yep? You're so you're breaking
1:56
Speaker 1: up a good bit here, so it might be. I
1:57
Speaker 1: don't know if you're on Verizon. I did see that
1:59
Speaker 1: there was a big power outage over there. But get
2:04
Speaker 1: this squared away, all right. I'll take it over as
2:10
Speaker 1: we get Matt hopefully figured out. But yeah, congrats again
2:13
Speaker 1: on the legal legendshipper. And yeah, anyways, we got a yeah,
2:22
Speaker 1: seven game slate here starting at seven pm. We'll just
2:26
Speaker 1: kick things off and hopefully we'll get Matt back sooner
2:29
Speaker 1: than later. But yeah, first game on the slate is
2:32
Speaker 1: the oops, you get this figured out one second? Everybody
2:38
Speaker 1: appreciate the patience. Let do this boom. First game on
2:43
Speaker 1: the slate, Uh Toronto at Indiana, we got Q tags
2:49
Speaker 1: on Emanuel Quickly and Sandra mam m Keelich Villio, the
2:54
Speaker 1: two big ones. Garrett Temple also apparently picked up back
2:57
Speaker 1: spasms while he was sitting on the end of the
3:00
Speaker 1: and so have to monitor that news. But obviously Quickly
3:03
Speaker 1: and Sandro the two biggest ones. And Quickly has been
3:07
Speaker 1: playing a ton lately, been picking up a pretty large
3:09
Speaker 1: role with all the injuries that they've been dealing with.
3:12
Speaker 1: I would imagine that if he were to sit, you're
3:15
Speaker 1: obviously sliding Jamal s Shed down to the one. They've
3:18
Speaker 1: also been subbing in Elijah Martin kind of behind quickly
3:22
Speaker 1: and Jamal Shed so I think that there'd be a
3:24
Speaker 1: chance for him to start rookie. I believe he's still
3:28
Speaker 1: pretty cheap as well, only yeah, he's been priced. That
3:32
Speaker 1: would definitely be somebody to consider if he is getting
3:35
Speaker 1: the start. And then on the indie side, looks like
3:39
Speaker 1: they should be fully healthy. Uh, just out tags on
3:43
Speaker 1: the main guys that have been missing all season, Obi
3:45
Speaker 1: Top and Ben mcmadin, tars Halburn and then Isaiah Jackson's
3:49
Speaker 1: still out for this one, expecting Jay Huff to start.
3:52
Speaker 1: And yeah, defensively, I think that this is a game
3:56
Speaker 1: where these two teams could play to the under. These
3:58
Speaker 1: are teams have been playing really well offensively. They bring
4:01
Speaker 1: six over the last two weeks. They are still pretty
4:04
Speaker 1: bad offensively twenty third over that span, thirtieth on the season,
4:08
Speaker 1: but obviously improving a little bit on offense. But yeah,
4:11
Speaker 1: they've been playing really solid defense as of late. The
4:13
Speaker 1: room defense has gotten better. Obviously, having guys like them
4:16
Speaker 1: Hard and aaron Ni Smith out there to kind of
4:18
Speaker 1: shore up things defensively are going to help them. So
4:22
Speaker 1: it sounds like we got you back, Matt. Let me
4:23
Speaker 1: get this overlay set up here hopefully, hopefully you're all
4:27
Speaker 1: good now. But are you on Verizon by any chance?
4:30
Speaker 2: Yeah?
4:30
Speaker 3: I'm actually on Spectrum over here, but it looks like
4:33
Speaker 3: there's like an outage around here. There's been an outage
4:35
Speaker 3: around here. But I'm not an easy quitter, so we'll
4:38
Speaker 3: give it one more, try to try to make it
4:39
Speaker 3: through this show. If it gets to be real bad again,
4:42
Speaker 3: then I'll have to hop out. But hopefully we can
4:44
Speaker 3: make it through.
4:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds good. Well, while I have you, I'll kick
4:47
Speaker 1: it over to you in the Toronto Indie Game. Just
4:49
Speaker 1: mentioned the Emmanuel Quickly and sandro Q tags if you
4:52
Speaker 1: want to take over from there.
4:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think it's kind of a wait and
4:55
Speaker 3: see approach there. Either way, I think like Scottie Marn's
4:58
Speaker 3: eighty five hundred project to be one of the higher
5:01
Speaker 3: rowned spend up options on the slate. It's an interesting
5:03
Speaker 3: slate and that of the spend up options, it isn't
5:06
Speaker 3: like there's one choppy guy. Ownership is kind of spread around,
5:09
Speaker 3: with Barnes getting a good amount of ownership. He projects
5:12
Speaker 3: pretty well it's a really good spot against Indiana, so
5:14
Speaker 3: he's gonna look good no matter what. Could only look
5:16
Speaker 3: even better, say with like, you know, Jamal shed who
5:19
Speaker 3: looks good as a value play now, would look even better.
5:21
Speaker 3: Brandon Ingram looks good. He was good in his first
5:23
Speaker 3: game back. I think if Sandro is out it makes
5:28
Speaker 3: you more comfortable with like CMB. I mean, do we
5:32
Speaker 3: want to look at someone like a Jonathan Mogbo. I
5:34
Speaker 3: don't know. Doubtful. I think really it just makes you
5:40
Speaker 3: more secure about the guys that are already in play.
5:42
Speaker 3: Do you see it similarly?
5:46
Speaker 1: Yeah? I do think that it is kind of interesting
5:48
Speaker 1: the Elijah Martin stuff because he's been coming on a
5:50
Speaker 1: little bit as of late. So if Quickly were to miss,
5:52
Speaker 1: I kind of think there's a chance for him to start.
5:54
Speaker 1: Don't really know too much about his skill set, but
5:56
Speaker 1: we saw him play thirty minutes against Philly, had six
5:58
Speaker 1: stocks in that game. Doesn't seem like he's going to
6:02
Speaker 1: be too much of an offensive threat. If anybody has
6:04
Speaker 1: any sort of scouting report on him from college, definitely
6:08
Speaker 1: drop into the chat.
6:08
Speaker 3: But good, I was just going to go on from
6:12
Speaker 3: what you're saying, he was a pretty good offensive player
6:15
Speaker 3: in college. I believe he went to FAU and then
6:17
Speaker 3: transferred to Florida as part of that national championship winning team.
6:21
Speaker 3: More of like a slasher scorer than a shooter. But yeah,
6:26
Speaker 3: I mean, as always when we talk about these college stats,
6:29
Speaker 3: all these guys are going to look good in college.
6:31
Speaker 3: But it does seem like you're right that he's got
6:34
Speaker 3: an established role on at three K. If quickly he's out,
6:36
Speaker 3: I think you're going to see his projection rise pretty dramatically.
6:40
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah, I'd be really interested in Jamal shed
6:44
Speaker 1: if Quickly were to be out, he does see I mean,
6:46
Speaker 1: he's not like a great permittent guy, but we've talked
6:48
Speaker 1: about it even kind of dating back to the first
6:51
Speaker 1: shows of the season, and he's got a really really
6:53
Speaker 1: strong assist percentage, really good potential assist numbers like towards
6:57
Speaker 1: the top of the league. And then you add him
7:00
Speaker 1: arding and probably filling in the Quickly role. Quickly has
7:02
Speaker 1: been leading the team in touch time over the last
7:05
Speaker 1: few games. I would expect Jamal shd to see a
7:08
Speaker 1: really big uptick there, and there'd be a lot of
7:09
Speaker 1: ways for him to kind of get there. At four
7:11
Speaker 1: point seven K, So he's kind of the guy I'm
7:13
Speaker 1: keening in on if Quickly were to miss. But I
7:15
Speaker 1: agree with you on Scottie Barnes. Just not a ton
7:19
Speaker 1: of great spind up options tonight, so he kind of
7:21
Speaker 1: fills in the best of an okay bunch. I think
7:24
Speaker 1: that he's fine, but he did kind of lose a
7:26
Speaker 1: bit of his role with Ingram returning, so I'm okay
7:30
Speaker 1: with him, but don't really love it by any.
7:32
Speaker 3: Means, especially into ownership, Like I don't love it.
7:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really just could see. I think the main
7:38
Speaker 1: appeal from this game is that it's a really close spread,
7:41
Speaker 1: but these teams have been playing really good defense, so
7:43
Speaker 1: I could see it being one of the underwhelms. I
7:45
Speaker 1: kind of think a Max two of Toronto just overall
7:49
Speaker 1: is fine, and then on the Indie side, I could
7:53
Speaker 1: even be a Max one here. I don't now that
7:55
Speaker 1: these guys are all priced up. They're pretty healthy too.
7:58
Speaker 1: I think Siakam is a easy fade for me going
8:01
Speaker 1: against Scotty Barnes, really really good wing defender. Don't really
8:05
Speaker 1: like that nemhard at seven point two K. Don't love
8:08
Speaker 1: the price. I think that the more expensive he becomes.
8:11
Speaker 1: He's just not really a guy that's gonna blow you
8:13
Speaker 1: away by any means, So I'm okay getting away from him. No,
8:16
Speaker 1: thank you, on Nie Smith. I think Jay Huff is
8:18
Speaker 1: probably my favorite option at four point seven K, but
8:20
Speaker 1: even him, there's holes that you can poke because he
8:22
Speaker 1: doesn't he's not a big like rebounding center or a
8:25
Speaker 1: big I guess you kind of need him to get
8:28
Speaker 1: there with like steals and blocks and scoring, which he
8:30
Speaker 1: can definitely do. But I prefer to go with guys
8:33
Speaker 1: that have really strong rebounding rates at the front court position,
8:36
Speaker 1: and I don't really think that that's going to be him,
8:38
Speaker 1: So I really don't like the indie side. Also one
8:41
Speaker 1: thing to note, I mean the defense with the CMB
8:44
Speaker 1: and Scottie Barnes out there for Toronto has been elite.
8:47
Speaker 1: They're one four point eight defensive reading with those two
8:51
Speaker 1: guys on versus one fourteen ish with them off the court.
8:54
Speaker 1: So they've been really good defensively with those guys on
8:56
Speaker 1: the court. Kind of an easy spot for me to avoid.
8:59
Speaker 1: If you do you like anything on the indie side.
9:01
Speaker 3: No, I don't at all, And as someone who plays,
9:03
Speaker 3: you know, minimal lineups. I can take go even a
9:05
Speaker 3: step farther and say that I don't think you're doing
9:08
Speaker 3: it wrong if you have no one from this game,
9:10
Speaker 3: say you're playing one lineup, I don't think there's anyone
9:12
Speaker 3: you have to lock in. Certainly that could change if
9:14
Speaker 3: we get all the Toronto guys out, then there might
9:16
Speaker 3: be guys on Toronto that you can't really get away from,
9:18
Speaker 3: namely like a Jamal Shad. But yeah, I don't love
9:22
Speaker 3: this game from a DFS perspective. And the one thing
9:24
Speaker 3: that adding the late games does is it just gives
9:28
Speaker 3: more plays on the slate, so it makes fading you know,
9:31
Speaker 3: the early spots more viable.
9:33
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's a great point too. We haven't had
9:36
Speaker 1: a lot of slates like this where you can be
9:37
Speaker 1: backloading and going to get more information as the night
9:40
Speaker 1: goes on. So I think definitely Indy being an X
9:43
Speaker 1: out is a possibility for me. But for sure MAX
9:45
Speaker 1: one and then I think Toronto MAX two. But could
9:48
Speaker 1: change if Quickly does get rolled out. Next game, your
9:51
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers at the Philadelphia seventy six ers. This game
9:55
Speaker 1: is a very interesting one because we have a lot
9:57
Speaker 1: of star power on both sides and a clevel team
10:00
Speaker 1: that's kind of been up and down defensively over the
10:03
Speaker 1: course of the season, but a fully healthy Philly team
10:06
Speaker 1: looks like a real contender in the East right now.
10:08
Speaker 1: You get him beatback playing at his high level like
10:11
Speaker 1: he was a few years ago. Their top three in
10:14
Speaker 1: offense over the last two weeks, top four in defense
10:16
Speaker 1: over that span. Cleveland is twentieth in defense over the
10:20
Speaker 1: last two but playing pretty well on offense. Rinked ninth there.
10:24
Speaker 1: Getting mobilely involved a little bit more. Getting Daris Garland
10:27
Speaker 1: healthy and kind of getting his rollback has definitely helped them.
10:30
Speaker 1: I think the best way to attack Philly is with
10:33
Speaker 1: the guards. So I'm really interested in both Donovan Mitchell
10:36
Speaker 1: and Daris Garland. This is your team, though, I'll let
10:38
Speaker 1: you talk about them in depth if you're liking anything
10:41
Speaker 1: in this game.
10:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably the most frustrating and one of, if not
10:44
Speaker 3: the most disappointing team in basketball. You know, they showed
10:48
Speaker 3: glimpses at sign They showed glimpses at times as being
10:51
Speaker 3: the team they were last year, but then they lose
10:54
Speaker 3: by double digitsy Utah at home. I feel like they
10:56
Speaker 3: just haven't gotten over the mental effects of losing to Indiana.
10:59
Speaker 3: How they last year in a very unexpected way, and
11:03
Speaker 3: they just haven't played inspired basketball. That said, obviously they
11:06
Speaker 3: still have players that are worth at least discussing from
11:10
Speaker 3: a DFS perspective. I'm with you. I like the guards
11:12
Speaker 3: way more than the front court here. I think the
11:14
Speaker 3: spot is better for them. And also just the price tags.
11:17
Speaker 3: I'm not paying eighty six hundred dollars for MOBILEI here.
11:20
Speaker 3: Despite you know, I know he came off a good
11:21
Speaker 3: game last game. A lot of those stats were empty.
11:24
Speaker 3: I'm not buying it. Jared Allen, I'm not buying it.
11:27
Speaker 3: Nurkic out rebounded Alan and Mobley combined last game, so
11:31
Speaker 3: that will set up into the Philly talk. But as
11:33
Speaker 3: far as Cleveland goes, I'm with you, it's Mitchell, it's Garland.
11:36
Speaker 3: Garland actually looks healthy now, which is big for him.
11:39
Speaker 3: We know how good he is offensively, and listen, despite
11:42
Speaker 3: his defensive shortcomings, Cleveland has no choice but to play
11:45
Speaker 3: him huge minutes because he's a MAX player and he's
11:48
Speaker 3: one of their better you know, he's their second best
11:51
Speaker 3: offensive player. So in what I you know, presume to
11:55
Speaker 3: be a close game here, I am interested in both
11:58
Speaker 3: Mitchell on a slate without a ton of spend options
12:00
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, and Garland in the mid tier from
12:03
Speaker 3: the Philly side. I really like Mbat in this spot.
12:06
Speaker 3: Again I mentioned it. The Cleveland front core is just soft.
12:09
Speaker 3: Nurkicch out rebounded both of them combined last game. Emb
12:13
Speaker 3: I mean, I think his upside is pretty high in
12:15
Speaker 3: this spot. So tell me what you think about this game.
12:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I definitely agree with you on the
12:21
Speaker 1: guard situation in Cleveland. I am probably slightly leaning towards
12:25
Speaker 1: Garland now just because he's a little bit cheaper and
12:28
Speaker 1: the role has kind of been shifting his way. We
12:30
Speaker 1: have seen at times before Mitchell will take a back
12:33
Speaker 1: seat when these guys are going off, and we did
12:35
Speaker 1: see that a lot against Utah, I mean normally and
12:38
Speaker 1: that type of matchup, I feel like you would expect
12:40
Speaker 1: Doavin Mitchell to get up like twenty to twenty five shots.
12:43
Speaker 1: Only got up eighteen shots and Darris Garland led the
12:46
Speaker 1: team in touch time there seventeen shots, so basically matched
12:49
Speaker 1: him from a role perspective. So I think if you're
12:51
Speaker 1: getting that moving forward, the price to scriptancity between the
12:55
Speaker 1: two is a little bit two wide, so I'm with you,
12:58
Speaker 1: I do lean Garland also gets the much softer matchup.
13:01
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Maxy on Garland and VJ
13:03
Speaker 1: Edgecomb on Donovan Mitchell. So there's just a lot working
13:06
Speaker 1: in Garland's favorite tonight. Yeah, it's I'm a little torn
13:13
Speaker 1: on the Embiid versus Maxi stuff because Embiid, while he's
13:17
Speaker 1: looked really good at nine point three K, you really
13:20
Speaker 1: need him to do something at that price tag. You
13:22
Speaker 1: kind of have to go back pretty far to see
13:24
Speaker 1: him have a game where he really buried you for
13:27
Speaker 1: not playing him at this price tag. And one of
13:29
Speaker 1: those games came against Indy thirty two minutes in that one,
13:32
Speaker 1: put up thirty nine points. Indy was playing really bad
13:34
Speaker 1: defensively at that time, so you know, you could say
13:37
Speaker 1: what you want about that one. But the other time
13:39
Speaker 1: was against Memphis, put up sixty four and a half
13:42
Speaker 1: fantasy points, needed thirty eight minutes, so five minutes plus
13:46
Speaker 1: and overtime to get there exactly. So he feels like
13:50
Speaker 1: very safe to get you forty six to fifty, But
13:54
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna be enough on this slate.
13:56
Speaker 1: I feel like you might need a little bit more,
13:58
Speaker 1: and I know that Maxi does have that upside because
14:01
Speaker 1: he's gonna play so many minutes. So I'm kind of
14:04
Speaker 1: leaning Maxie tonight. Personally, Cleveland's been really bad against guards.
14:08
Speaker 1: I would say that they obviously are very soft in
14:11
Speaker 1: the front court, like you said, but their best defenders
14:14
Speaker 1: are their bigs, and they're very, very bad against guards.
14:18
Speaker 1: I'm kind of leaning Maxie, but I do have interest
14:21
Speaker 1: in embiads silkcase. He obviously I think that there is
14:25
Speaker 1: sixties in the range of outcomes for him. Just don't
14:28
Speaker 1: know if I feel super confident in the spots. I'm
14:31
Speaker 1: kind of leaning Maxi. I think Paul George is an
14:33
Speaker 1: easy fade and he's getting double digit ownership. Let's see
14:37
Speaker 1: what Saber has him for, Yeah, eighteen percent. I mean
14:41
Speaker 1: that's that's easy to get away from. He looked really
14:43
Speaker 1: bad last game, returned from a one game absence where
14:47
Speaker 1: his knee quote unquote stiffened up. I'm not really I
14:51
Speaker 1: don't expect him to run up his minutes back to
14:53
Speaker 1: like thirty six thirty eight after he's been in and
14:55
Speaker 1: out of the line. So I think Paul George is
14:57
Speaker 1: easy to get away from giving me Maxi and EMBIID
14:59
Speaker 1: and Garland in this game.
15:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you there, and ultimately kind of the
15:04
Speaker 3: point you made is why I might not get again
15:07
Speaker 3: limited lineups not playing one point fifty. I don't think
15:10
Speaker 3: you have to get anything from this game because the
15:13
Speaker 3: price tags are all really high on the guys you want,
15:16
Speaker 3: so certainly I think all of them are in play. EMBIID,
15:19
Speaker 3: but to your point, like how much upside is there
15:21
Speaker 3: at that tag Maxi, He's still kind of priced for
15:24
Speaker 3: MBD to be out. The Cleveland guys are expensive, so
15:27
Speaker 3: I like all of them individually, But at the end
15:29
Speaker 3: of the day, I do think that at each of those,
15:32
Speaker 3: at each of their price tags, there might be better options.
15:35
Speaker 1: Yep, for sure. Yeah, I definitely don't want to lock
15:37
Speaker 1: in too much too early. There's some really really good
15:40
Speaker 1: spots coming up that we'll get into. We go to
15:43
Speaker 1: a game with two really bad basketball teams, kind of
15:47
Speaker 1: putting it nicely, New Orleans and Brooklyn facing off in
15:50
Speaker 1: New Orleans. This is a back to back for the
15:52
Speaker 1: Pelicans as well, so you have kind of a lot
15:54
Speaker 1: of downside risks there in terms of guys not playing
15:57
Speaker 1: their full minutes. Brooklyn got a day off and they'll
15:59
Speaker 1: be get some guys back as well to kind of
16:02
Speaker 1: take away a bit of the upside off of the
16:04
Speaker 1: people that we were considering a few nights ago. But
16:08
Speaker 1: still a really good matchup for Brooklyn, I mean, a
16:10
Speaker 1: good matchup for both sides are actually but the Pelicans
16:13
Speaker 1: are one of the worst three point defense in the league.
16:16
Speaker 1: They're also dead last in transition defense. The Nets are
16:19
Speaker 1: bottom five and transition defense also a team that gives
16:22
Speaker 1: up a ton around the basket. So you could make
16:23
Speaker 1: the case that these guys on both sides are in
16:26
Speaker 1: good spots. But I don't really know if you need
16:30
Speaker 1: to lock up spots in this game either, because people
16:33
Speaker 1: are priced up for life without some of these guys,
16:36
Speaker 1: so the Nets side, to me, I'm interested in Clackson
16:39
Speaker 1: and Daryn Sharp at their respective price tags. I think
16:42
Speaker 1: both are in fine spots. Definitely not playing them together,
16:45
Speaker 1: but I don't really know what the minutes are going
16:48
Speaker 1: to look like for Clason, He's been pretty managed since
16:51
Speaker 1: returning from the injury, had one game where you top thirty.
16:53
Speaker 1: I think you need to be confident that he's playing
16:56
Speaker 1: thirty plus minutes to really consider him as a strong
16:59
Speaker 1: play at six point one K. But Darren Sharp's been
17:02
Speaker 1: playing great in his absence, and I think that they
17:04
Speaker 1: might just be trying to, like, I don't know if
17:07
Speaker 1: they really want to play Clacks in thirty plus minutes
17:09
Speaker 1: when Darren Sharp is I mean, I don't I don't
17:11
Speaker 1: know if I would say he's out playing him, but
17:12
Speaker 1: he's doing really, really well in the minutes that he
17:14
Speaker 1: is out there, so it might be more of like
17:16
Speaker 1: a twenty two to twenty six minute split between the two,
17:21
Speaker 1: which just kind of makes Claxon unplayable in my eyes.
17:23
Speaker 1: One guy that I have my eye on that's getting
17:25
Speaker 1: no ownership and I and like grossly in love with
17:28
Speaker 1: this play is Cam Thomas, if you can talk me
17:32
Speaker 1: off of him. But at five point nine K, I mean,
17:33
Speaker 1: he returned from injury a couple of games ago. Played
17:36
Speaker 1: He's not gonna play a ton of minutes, but we
17:38
Speaker 1: know what he's gonna do when he's on the court.
17:39
Speaker 1: He's gonna chuck. He's normally a guy that's like upper
17:42
Speaker 1: six K, low seven K twenty five minutes in his
17:45
Speaker 1: first game back, twenty two minutes in the second game
17:48
Speaker 1: went for twenty five points, twenty four points, forty two
17:51
Speaker 1: drafting points against Orlando, forty against Milwaukee. Definitely a great
17:57
Speaker 1: matchup for guards. I'm kind of pretty in on cam
17:59
Speaker 1: to Elms tonight and off of mostly everybody else on
18:03
Speaker 1: Brooklyn and then New Orleans is a team I could
18:05
Speaker 1: just see myself fully X and out. You're just asking
18:08
Speaker 1: for a little bit too much. Derek Queen's rotation has
18:10
Speaker 1: been all over the place this season back to back.
18:13
Speaker 1: Not really spot where I want to get into him.
18:15
Speaker 1: The one guy I would like is Murphy, but he's
18:18
Speaker 1: expensive and it's not really a great matchup for guards
18:20
Speaker 1: against the Nets. So I can see myself just playing
18:23
Speaker 1: no Pelicans. But yeah, talk to me about the Nets
18:26
Speaker 1: side if you like anything over there.
18:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, Honestly, this game you mentioned it two really bad
18:31
Speaker 3: basketball teams, and sometimes when you have bad basketball teams
18:33
Speaker 3: you get a ton of turnovers and games that really
18:36
Speaker 3: play out well. From a DFS perspective, I could see
18:38
Speaker 3: that here. But the problem is again, price tags are
18:41
Speaker 3: all like where they should be or too high here.
18:44
Speaker 3: As far as Claxton Sharp goes, I'm with you. Give
18:46
Speaker 3: me Sharp, Claxton just especially with them, you know, not
18:51
Speaker 3: splitting minutes evenly, but with that gap becoming narrower by
18:54
Speaker 3: the day, it feels like Sharp is just a better
18:57
Speaker 3: play at under five K in my opinion. So yeah,
18:59
Speaker 3: I think he's actually a pretty good play. I think
19:01
Speaker 3: there are better plays. You know, brook Lopez has emerged
19:04
Speaker 3: out with Zubatch being out, he's a thousand dollars cheaper,
19:07
Speaker 3: so I think Sharp is in play. And then Michael
19:10
Speaker 3: Porter Junior for me, again, his price tag is up,
19:13
Speaker 3: and I feel like it's it's similar to the Embiid
19:16
Speaker 3: story that you you know, gave us when we talked
19:19
Speaker 3: about Embiid, because you know, he's not putting up sixties.
19:23
Speaker 3: But Porter Junior is about as consistent as you as
19:25
Speaker 3: you can get forty two plus DK points in like
19:29
Speaker 3: ten straight or nine straight in fourteen to fifteen or
19:32
Speaker 3: thirteen or fourteen, something like that. So you could do
19:35
Speaker 3: a lot worse than that consistency. Again, I don't think
19:38
Speaker 3: he's got sixty five point upside, but certainly he's got
19:42
Speaker 3: in the fifties upside as he's done plenty of times
19:45
Speaker 3: this year. So he's the guy from Brooklyn for me.
19:47
Speaker 3: I don't really like anything from New Orleans and as
19:49
Speaker 3: far as camp Thomas goes man, that's tough for me.
19:52
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna talk you off him per se, but
19:55
Speaker 3: it's tough for me when I see a guy at
19:57
Speaker 3: like six k projected for like twenty five fantasy points,
20:00
Speaker 3: that's difficult for me. I get it from your perspective,
20:03
Speaker 3: like all you need is for him to get hot,
20:06
Speaker 3: and then the minutes become a little bit higher, and
20:08
Speaker 3: he's hot, so he's making shots. I get it. If
20:11
Speaker 3: I were playing one fifty, i'd want to be over
20:13
Speaker 3: the field based on just the point you made. But
20:16
Speaker 3: as someone who plays minimal lineups, I don't think I
20:18
Speaker 3: can even look at him.
20:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to pull a lot of strings to
20:21
Speaker 1: make it work, and you're it's really just based off
20:24
Speaker 1: of vibes. Like there's nothing saying that he is a
20:26
Speaker 1: great play because even if you look at like his
20:28
Speaker 1: per minute rates and all that stuff, they're not that good.
20:31
Speaker 1: It's just kind of hoping that he gets hot.
20:33
Speaker 3: But I'm cool with that, honestly. Like, especially in this
20:36
Speaker 3: day and age, with like everything being based on projections,
20:39
Speaker 3: especially ownership, sometimes it can pay off in spades to
20:43
Speaker 3: make a vibes play like that. You don't want to
20:45
Speaker 3: make all your plays based on vibes, but sometimes you
20:48
Speaker 3: know that works, and as we often say, like your
20:51
Speaker 3: gut instinct is often the best way to.
20:53
Speaker 1: Go for sure. Yeah, I'm with you on the MPJA.
20:56
Speaker 1: So if he feels feels very safe, I am a
20:59
Speaker 1: little car just playing him now moving forward at this
21:01
Speaker 1: elevated price tag, because there's obviously all like the trade
21:04
Speaker 1: rumor stuff, and I think teams would be very smart
21:08
Speaker 1: to limit their guys that are potentially getting traded. You
21:11
Speaker 1: see what just happened to Anthony Davis, Like he's out
21:13
Speaker 1: for almost two months now and they can't trade him.
21:16
Speaker 1: So it's kind of I don't know, you gotta be
21:18
Speaker 1: cautious if you really like they can get a pretty
21:20
Speaker 1: big haul for MPJA right now based off of them
21:23
Speaker 1: getting basically traded him for you know, just Cam Johnson
21:26
Speaker 1: last season, Like you can flip that into a lot.
21:28
Speaker 1: So I think they'd be smart to kind of limit
21:31
Speaker 1: him moving forward, make sure that he's healthy.
21:33
Speaker 3: That's fair. I just I agree with you. I think
21:36
Speaker 3: that's what they should do. I just don't know if
21:38
Speaker 3: we're like at that point where I'm thinking about not
21:40
Speaker 3: playing someone because of that, do you know.
21:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, it's purely speculative. All right, We'll go
21:47
Speaker 1: to a game that's gonna get a ton of ownership,
21:49
Speaker 1: a ton of love, as it should. Two really bad
21:52
Speaker 1: defenses facing off Utah heading into Chicago. They're going to
21:55
Speaker 1: be down Lori Markanen and the Bulls, who are on
21:58
Speaker 1: a back to back by the way, so some of
22:00
Speaker 1: these guys minutes maybe a little bit more fragile, but
22:03
Speaker 1: still a really, really good matchup. They'll be getting Kobe
22:06
Speaker 1: White back tonight. He's been very managed all season long.
22:10
Speaker 1: Can't remember the last time he's played more than like
22:11
Speaker 1: thirty two minutes in a game. Getting a ton of ownership,
22:14
Speaker 1: but obviously a lot a lot to like about this
22:17
Speaker 1: matchup for both sides. Really neither team plays much defense.
22:21
Speaker 1: Chicago's playing a little bit better as of late, but
22:24
Speaker 1: they've had some up and down games. Their sixteenth over
22:26
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Utah is dead last for Chicago defensively,
22:30
Speaker 1: getting killed around the basket there towards the bottom half
22:33
Speaker 1: of the League of transition, while Utah is and continued
22:36
Speaker 1: will be one of the worst three point defenses in
22:38
Speaker 1: the league also bottom three in transition, so sets up
22:41
Speaker 1: really well for some of the Chicago guys. Chicago's first
22:43
Speaker 1: and offensive transition scoring this season. Kick things over to you,
22:48
Speaker 1: I feel like there's gonna be a lot to talk
22:50
Speaker 1: through in this game because there's just a lot of
22:52
Speaker 1: really really good matchups all around. But what are you
22:54
Speaker 1: looking at in this one?
22:56
Speaker 3: Yeah? So all right, I get it. This game has
22:59
Speaker 3: a ton a dfspl and there's a players in this
23:02
Speaker 3: game that are projected for a lot of ownership. That
23:04
Speaker 3: makes sense, But I first just have to ask you,
23:06
Speaker 3: and you've touched on it a little bit, Like I'm
23:09
Speaker 3: seeing places that have Kobe White as like the most owned,
23:13
Speaker 3: the highest known player by far on this slate, and
23:15
Speaker 3: I just don't get it, Like, I don't understand it.
23:18
Speaker 3: I know his price tax cheap for who he is,
23:20
Speaker 3: but he's not gonna approach thirty minutes, I don't think.
23:24
Speaker 3: And I think his upside is clearly capped because of that. Like,
23:28
Speaker 3: I just don't understand why he's the highest hon player
23:31
Speaker 3: on the slate. Can you give me some insight there?
23:34
Speaker 1: No, I'm with you, honestly, Like it's feels feels kind
23:38
Speaker 1: of bad playing into this much ownership for a guy
23:40
Speaker 1: like Kobe White, where he's I mean, he's just not healthy,
23:44
Speaker 1: he's not playing enough minutes. You got guys on his
23:46
Speaker 1: team that are inequally as good a matchups not getting
23:49
Speaker 1: any ownership, like Iotasumu, I think I saw somewhere else
23:53
Speaker 1: he was a little bit higher, but like Ioe at
23:55
Speaker 1: five point seven k similar position eligibility, a guy that
23:58
Speaker 1: can touch thirty two to thirty three minutes. Same thing
24:01
Speaker 1: for Trey Jones coming off of a huge game. Guards
24:05
Speaker 1: are terrible or Utah is terrible against the guards, so
24:08
Speaker 1: it's like equally as good of a matchup for a
24:10
Speaker 1: lot of these guys. So it feels bad playing into
24:13
Speaker 1: that much ownership for Kobe White.
24:14
Speaker 3: I'm with you there, Yeah, we feel the same there.
24:17
Speaker 3: So I get it, he's a good play, but at
24:19
Speaker 3: that much ownership, I think he becomes a guy that
24:21
Speaker 3: you can easily look to get away from in any
24:23
Speaker 3: size tournament. I like the guys you mentioned as pivots
24:27
Speaker 3: that are getting like tenth of the ownership, as he
24:29
Speaker 3: is not half like a tenth, so makes a lot
24:32
Speaker 3: of sense to be Kevin Herder, I think you can
24:33
Speaker 3: throw in that mix. Vooch. You know, he had that
24:37
Speaker 3: hot stretch. Seems to be kind of back to where
24:39
Speaker 3: he normally is. I'm not really excited about playing him
24:43
Speaker 3: on this slate. For me, I like the Utah side more.
24:45
Speaker 3: I like them a lot. In that Cleveland game, just because,
24:48
Speaker 3: just as you kind of said with cam Thomas, there
24:51
Speaker 3: was more vibes. I thought that they were gonna really
24:53
Speaker 3: put forth a good effort after they got embarrassed by Charlotte.
24:56
Speaker 3: I wasn't expecting Cleveland to just kind of lay down,
25:00
Speaker 3: but that's you see that sometimes, and I think you
25:02
Speaker 3: can go right back to Utah here. So Kyante I
25:06
Speaker 3: think looks great. He looks great even before the market
25:08
Speaker 3: in news, and he looks even better now. Nurkic looks
25:11
Speaker 3: better now, more rebounding equity, He's playing really good basketball
25:15
Speaker 3: right now. So he's the guy I'm interested in. I
25:18
Speaker 3: think those two are the main guys. I think that
25:21
Speaker 3: on this slate, with how many good spots there are
25:25
Speaker 3: and potentially more with injuries, I don't think that I
25:29
Speaker 3: want to get too deep after that. Like Philip Auski
25:33
Speaker 3: fifty four hundred I think is in play. But I'm
25:36
Speaker 3: not like crazy excited about it. Maybe I should because
25:39
Speaker 3: his tag has come down. I guess I'll put him
25:41
Speaker 3: as a better player than I originally thought.
25:42
Speaker 1: So.
25:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, Nurkic and Kyante George looked really good to me.
25:46
Speaker 3: I think the other guys look good, but there's not
25:48
Speaker 3: one that stands out outside of maybe Filipowski. How do
25:51
Speaker 3: you see it?
25:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree with you there. I love Kiance
25:54
Speaker 1: and Nurkish tonight, great matchup for both of them. There's
25:57
Speaker 1: been five games without Lori this season, and I think
26:00
Speaker 1: two of the games you can kind of throw out
26:01
Speaker 1: the window because it was massive blowouts against Okay seeing Charlotte.
26:05
Speaker 1: But if you take those two games out, he's top. Kyante.
26:08
Speaker 1: We're talking about his top fifty draftings points twice, averaging
26:11
Speaker 1: forty six d K points. Very very good for a
26:14
Speaker 1: guy price at eight point two. K just continues the
26:17
Speaker 1: breakout season. I'm gonna see Isaaco Korro defensively, which I
26:21
Speaker 1: don't really I'm not too worried about. He's an Okay defender,
26:23
Speaker 1: not great, So I'm with you. I think Kiante is
26:26
Speaker 1: awesome tonight. Agree with you on NRK. He's playing great.
26:28
Speaker 1: I think he's at like forty eight DK points and
26:30
Speaker 1: four straight games. Yeah, just crushing it. No Kevin Love
26:34
Speaker 1: behind him, so it probably plays a little bit more
26:36
Speaker 1: minutes and normal, I K Love, We're in and then
26:39
Speaker 1: phil Kowski is gonna end up being a decision point
26:41
Speaker 1: on the slake because he's projected to start and is
26:45
Speaker 1: getting a lot of ownership I've seen somewhere else. I
26:48
Speaker 1: don't think that we or Saber Simus updated for the
26:53
Speaker 1: Lori News yet, but it's gonna come up to like
26:55
Speaker 1: forty to fifty probably Insigle Country contest, maybe even more
26:59
Speaker 1: once we find out that he is starting. So yeah,
27:03
Speaker 1: you got to make a decision there. I think he's
27:05
Speaker 1: pretty good. I like the matchup for Wings against the
27:07
Speaker 1: against the Bull, so I feel like he's pretty good.
27:10
Speaker 1: Similar to Kyance, though he's had a pretty wide range
27:13
Speaker 1: of outcomes and larger sample because he is a guy
27:15
Speaker 1: that can play blow out at times. But he did
27:19
Speaker 1: put up forty four and fifty three DK points in
27:21
Speaker 1: a couple of games that Laurie miss the season. But
27:24
Speaker 1: the leash is kind of tight on these guys, like
27:26
Speaker 1: if you're playing bad, Will Hardy's not really messing around anymore,
27:30
Speaker 1: he's gonna pull guys out of the lineup, So that
27:31
Speaker 1: would be like, there's there's probably ways you can get
27:34
Speaker 1: away from the phili Kowski Chuck, I feel like it'd
27:36
Speaker 1: be Taylor Hendricks as a pivot. I wouldn't. I don't
27:41
Speaker 1: believe that this eighteen percent on Hendricks is gonna be
27:45
Speaker 1: what it ends up becoming. I feel like it's probably
27:47
Speaker 1: gonna be maybe like ten, maybe eight percent. But the
27:50
Speaker 1: starting lineup definitely matters. I think that there's a little
27:53
Speaker 1: bit of a push and pull between philip Kowski and
27:55
Speaker 1: Taylor Hendricks though, so I might want to set a
27:58
Speaker 1: max one role there. So think that Ace Bailey is
28:01
Speaker 1: back in the starting lineup tonight. Don't think he's played
28:03
Speaker 1: with five K though. And then the bull side, I
28:07
Speaker 1: agree with you on vouch. Don't really want to play
28:09
Speaker 1: a guy that old coming off of a thirty seven
28:11
Speaker 1: minute night last night. The guy that is the most
28:14
Speaker 1: interesting to me is Matas Buzzellis. I think there's a
28:17
Speaker 1: lot of ways that he can get going tonight, and
28:19
Speaker 1: he's been playing really well. I always kind of proceed
28:21
Speaker 1: with a little bit of caution with him because Billy
28:24
Speaker 1: Donphin has him on a really tight leash as well.
28:26
Speaker 1: But he's played, he said, some really good games as
28:29
Speaker 1: of late, and he's kind of surprised me as a
28:32
Speaker 1: three point shoot. I didn't really expect him to be
28:34
Speaker 1: as good as he is behind the three point line.
28:36
Speaker 1: But he's also one of the best transition scores on Chicago,
28:40
Speaker 1: so I think that he can really put up a
28:42
Speaker 1: strong outing here. So I like matas a good bit.
28:45
Speaker 1: And then I'm with you on the Kobe like under
28:48
Speaker 1: probably just being underweight him in tournaments and maybe shifting
28:52
Speaker 1: some of that ownership to Trey jones Io and Kevin
28:54
Speaker 1: Herder because those guys are in a good spot. I
28:56
Speaker 1: also saw somebody who's a coach was asking about jay
29:00
Speaker 1: Than Smith thirty six minutes last night. Yeah, he's played good,
29:04
Speaker 1: like he's been one of the better players for Chicago
29:06
Speaker 1: this season. There's a weird, weird stat. I think they
29:09
Speaker 1: were winless in every game that Jalen Smith has missed
29:12
Speaker 1: the season, but they have like they've won. I don't
29:15
Speaker 1: know what the number is, but they're winless in games
29:17
Speaker 1: without Jalleen Smith. I think that he's just actually a
29:19
Speaker 1: pretty solid player, always was fun to watch when he
29:23
Speaker 1: was with the Pacers back in the day. But yeah,
29:25
Speaker 1: he's he's a solid player. Not sure. I mean I
29:30
Speaker 1: wouldn't set a rule against that. I would definitely not
29:32
Speaker 1: be opposed to doing it because he's getting a lot
29:34
Speaker 1: of production from those two guys. You have any thoughts
29:36
Speaker 1: on Nurk and Keionte in the same lineup?
29:38
Speaker 3: No, I mean I feel like there's a lot of
29:40
Speaker 3: positive correlation there for sure, like game plays out, you know,
29:45
Speaker 3: we're more high scoring than normal. I mean a lot
29:47
Speaker 3: of different ways there's positive correlation. I mean tons there,
29:50
Speaker 3: and I don't think they eat into each other at all,
29:52
Speaker 3: So I actually like the idea of playing them together.
29:54
Speaker 3: Now you're allocating a lot of salary, But they're both
29:57
Speaker 3: really good plays on their own, so I'm totally cool
29:59
Speaker 3: with it. Here's a good one though. If Sandro is out,
30:04
Speaker 3: Murray Boyles is basically the same price as Philipowski, and
30:07
Speaker 3: there he's projected to get love. Also, who do you
30:10
Speaker 3: like more?
30:11
Speaker 1: That's a good question. It's tough to It's tough to
30:16
Speaker 1: say without knowing if phili Kowski is starting, because I
30:18
Speaker 1: think if phili Kowski is starting, I would slightly lean
30:21
Speaker 1: him just I think the matchup is a little bit better. Yeah,
30:25
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's tough. I think philip Kowski, though,
30:28
Speaker 1: what about you?
30:29
Speaker 3: I think Philipowski, But I also think that, like if
30:32
Speaker 3: he is really projected for like let's say, fifty percent
30:36
Speaker 3: ownership and Murray Boyle's is twenty percent, so I think
30:40
Speaker 3: it's a really interesting pivot just based off that. Then
30:42
Speaker 3: also adding if we don't know if Philipowski is starting,
30:45
Speaker 3: I think it's even more valuable. So I think I
30:48
Speaker 3: like Philipowski slightly more from a projection standpoint, but the
30:52
Speaker 3: ownership wouldn't need to get like that crazy for me
30:55
Speaker 3: to be interested in pivoting.
30:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just doubling down on your nurkicch and Kiance
31:00
Speaker 1: being positively correlated. You open up Sabersim and you see
31:02
Speaker 1: that they are the two highest correlated pieces from the
31:06
Speaker 1: Jazz side point two two plus added correlation there. So
31:09
Speaker 1: there is definitely some benefit to playing both those guys.
31:12
Speaker 1: I think that a strong outing from the Jazz in
31:16
Speaker 1: general probably comes from those two. Are we get an
31:19
Speaker 1: hour half break after the Jazz and Chicago game, heading
31:23
Speaker 1: to Dallas Denver is going to be definitely a spot
31:27
Speaker 1: to wait on for news because obviously the biggest one
31:30
Speaker 1: is Jamal Murray, and then you also get a questionab
31:33
Speaker 1: attack on Bruce Brown. Christian Brown is out tonight, Aaron
31:36
Speaker 1: Gordon is going to be in after playing what thirty
31:40
Speaker 1: minutes last night, so that will take Deron Holmes out
31:44
Speaker 1: of the rotation. But yeah, I mean the value could
31:47
Speaker 1: definitely open up in a pretty big way on the
31:51
Speaker 1: Denver side tonight, and I think it's a really good
31:53
Speaker 1: game to attack. We've been kind of blessed from these
31:56
Speaker 1: Denver game environments all around over the last the last
32:00
Speaker 1: two weeks at least since Jokic has gone. Now you
32:02
Speaker 1: get value an upside on the Denver side, and then defensively,
32:05
Speaker 1: they're just not playing that great right now, so it's
32:08
Speaker 1: the opposing players have looked really good as well. It's
32:12
Speaker 1: a kind of a tale of two different stories for
32:13
Speaker 1: these teams. Defensively, Dallas has been a huge rim funnel
32:16
Speaker 1: this season, and now you take away Anthony Davis, there
32:19
Speaker 1: left Daniel gafferd who's been historically really bad at protecting
32:22
Speaker 1: the basket dating back to his time in Washington. For Denver. Though,
32:28
Speaker 1: also they Dallas might be getting PJ Washington back and
32:32
Speaker 1: Brandon Williams. It sounds like Williams is definitely playing PJA
32:35
Speaker 1: a little bit more insure, but adding PJ back should
32:38
Speaker 1: help their on ball defense. Max Christie's out for this
32:40
Speaker 1: game or doubtful, so getting a little thin if PJ
32:43
Speaker 1: were to miss on guys that can actually defend on
32:46
Speaker 1: ball outside of Cooper Flag. But for Denver, they've been
32:48
Speaker 1: a pretty big perimeter funnel catchershoot funnel defense this season,
32:52
Speaker 1: kind of middle of the pack in transition in rim defense.
32:56
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think there's a lot to like here.
32:58
Speaker 1: We saw Cooper Flag pick up a massive role last
33:00
Speaker 1: game that Brandon Williams miss. He's basically the point guard
33:03
Speaker 1: for this team, so that definitely adds some more upside
33:06
Speaker 1: with the assist potentials and all that stuff. But Naji
33:09
Speaker 1: Marshall would be another guy that would benefit from some
33:11
Speaker 1: of these Q tags being out. Yeah, you got to
33:15
Speaker 1: definitely wait for news in this game because I feel
33:17
Speaker 1: like it could get really good. On the Denver side,
33:18
Speaker 1: Peyton Watson playing great pickett a five point three K
33:21
Speaker 1: would be a guy you want to look to. I
33:22
Speaker 1: think Tim Harwood Junior as well would be in play.
33:26
Speaker 1: So yeah, how are you approaching this game from a
33:29
Speaker 1: injury standpoint?
33:30
Speaker 3: It's difficult. I think this is like the most like
33:34
Speaker 3: this is the breaking point on the slate because it
33:36
Speaker 3: comes as much after the first game's tip, so we
33:39
Speaker 3: might not know. And Murray is tough man because even
33:43
Speaker 3: at ten k, like, if he's in, he looks really
33:46
Speaker 3: good right now. I mean he's got like fifty I
33:48
Speaker 3: think with fifty six Fantasy points in four straight couple
33:51
Speaker 3: sixty balls, what he's doing right now is really impressive.
33:55
Speaker 3: I mean he is putting the team on his back
33:57
Speaker 3: when he's out there and really filling it up from
33:59
Speaker 3: a DM perspective. So if he's in, I'm interested now
34:02
Speaker 3: the tag is up, he's ten case. I don't think
34:04
Speaker 3: he's a must play, but I also don't think he'll
34:07
Speaker 3: be owned nearly as high as he should be if
34:09
Speaker 3: we don't get that news until after Locke. The other
34:13
Speaker 3: part of it, like if he's in, it makes a
34:15
Speaker 3: bunch of these guys not really playable, Like Watson is
34:19
Speaker 3: in play he's playing good ball right now, but at
34:21
Speaker 3: seventy seven hundred, like you really want Murray out there.
34:24
Speaker 3: Same with Pickett, like he's really only in play if
34:26
Speaker 3: Murray's out, But if Murray's out, they both become really
34:30
Speaker 3: really good plays. So it's tough because there are good
34:33
Speaker 3: plays early on and there are good plays later. I'm
34:36
Speaker 3: more inclined to kind of get away from the earlier plays,
34:39
Speaker 3: especially the players that are getting a lot of ownership,
34:42
Speaker 3: and lean in more towards the later games, even if
34:44
Speaker 3: that means giving up some in projection and getting away
34:47
Speaker 3: a little bit from that Utah Chicago game, which is
34:50
Speaker 3: going to get a lot of love in hopes that
34:53
Speaker 3: we get the news breaking right in this game and
34:56
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit in the later games. So it's tough.
35:00
Speaker 3: I don't think there is like a right or wrong answer.
35:02
Speaker 3: I just think it's kind of a personal preference type
35:04
Speaker 3: of thing. As far as the Dallas side goes, I'm
35:07
Speaker 3: with you. For me, it's really only Cooper Flag, but
35:11
Speaker 3: I like him a lot. Here we saw the role
35:13
Speaker 3: that he is playing now with a D out, I
35:18
Speaker 3: don't expect that to change even with PJ. Washington in.
35:21
Speaker 3: You can roster him at five different positions. He's ninety
35:25
Speaker 3: two hundred. I think I'm FanDuel. So it kind of
35:27
Speaker 3: just shows you that he's still too cheap on DraftKings,
35:29
Speaker 3: I expect him to kind of stabilize at nine K.
35:32
Speaker 3: So at eighty three hundred, I think he's a really
35:34
Speaker 3: good play still.
35:36
Speaker 1: Yeah with you love Cooper Flaggs, and I think it's
35:38
Speaker 1: a really good spot for him. I'm gonna see Peyton
35:40
Speaker 1: Watson on defense, which is Peyton Watson's a solid defender,
35:43
Speaker 1: but I just think that the role has been really
35:45
Speaker 1: really good for Cooper Flag since Ad has been injured.
35:49
Speaker 1: So I like him a ton. I think Clay is
35:53
Speaker 1: somewhat interesting in this game at his price tag now.
35:56
Speaker 1: Clay is extremely streaky. We know that from him, but
36:00
Speaker 1: two of his last three games he's hit six threes,
36:03
Speaker 1: and it's a really good matchup for three point shooters,
36:05
Speaker 1: as it was versus Brooklyn as it was against Utah.
36:08
Speaker 1: So I would say I think Clay is pretty interesting
36:11
Speaker 1: to playing him a lot more minutes lately too, So
36:14
Speaker 1: having Max Chrissy out I think benefits him a good bit.
36:18
Speaker 1: And then if you get the like that, I think
36:20
Speaker 1: it would be really really good for Clay PJ. Wor
36:22
Speaker 1: to miss because you're gonna probably get him starting. I
36:24
Speaker 1: would imagine looking at some of the price tags. If
36:30
Speaker 1: you were planning for Jamal Murray worre to miss. There
36:35
Speaker 1: are some pivots, like if you're starting with Jalen Pickett
36:38
Speaker 1: looking in his range at that guard position, you have
36:42
Speaker 1: like Malik Monk, who I think is gonna be a
36:45
Speaker 1: guy that is interesting to a lot of people tonight.
36:48
Speaker 1: Trey Johnson could be a pivot there, bub Carrington, like
36:51
Speaker 1: there are ways that you can.
36:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally, you can go there. So they're also like
36:57
Speaker 3: you're probably gonna at least for me, like, I'm gonna
36:59
Speaker 3: have guys in Clippers game, so like you know, it
37:02
Speaker 3: doesn't even have to be like a one for one
37:03
Speaker 3: slop if you don't want it to be.
37:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, cool, all right, next game, we have the New
37:11
Speaker 1: York Knicks going to Sacramento. Uh, they've been there for
37:16
Speaker 1: a few days. They are the reason why the Houston
37:19
Speaker 1: Rockets had to travel to San Francisco to stay overnight
37:23
Speaker 1: and then end up losing their game in Sacramento. And
37:25
Speaker 1: if you if you kept up with all the hotel
37:27
Speaker 1: gate stuff, it was pretty funny. But yeah, really, I
37:32
Speaker 1: think this game is actually very interesting. The Knicks are
37:35
Speaker 1: getting healthier. Josh Hart returned a few games ago, but
37:38
Speaker 1: their defense has just been kind of struggling a lot lately.
37:41
Speaker 1: They're the second worst defense over the last two weeks,
37:44
Speaker 1: Sacramento is the third worst over the last two weeks.
37:47
Speaker 1: New York offensively still getting it done their ninth over
37:49
Speaker 1: that span, third on the season. So kind of, you know,
37:53
Speaker 1: some pretty solid game environments attacking the next team, and
37:55
Speaker 1: I think there's clear ways to do it. They've been
37:59
Speaker 1: trending down with their roll defense this season, Transition scoring
38:02
Speaker 1: has been up well against them, and they can also
38:05
Speaker 1: give up a ton of threes, So a lot to
38:08
Speaker 1: like on the King side matchup wise, And then for
38:11
Speaker 1: the Kings, they're the second worst rebounding team in the league.
38:13
Speaker 1: They're also really bad with protecting the basket. So I
38:17
Speaker 1: think there's some really clear spots for both sides here.
38:21
Speaker 1: I'm interested. I have a lot of interest in Brunson
38:23
Speaker 1: and kat Tonight, it was kind of weird. I was
38:27
Speaker 1: looking at the just kind of how teams are scoring
38:29
Speaker 1: against the Kings this season. They've done a decent job
38:32
Speaker 1: at with their three point defense in their room defense,
38:34
Speaker 1: but you look at the mid range stuff, they're dead
38:37
Speaker 1: last in mid range defense. I think it kind of
38:39
Speaker 1: sets up really well for Brunson. He's a mid range killer.
38:41
Speaker 1: I could see him putting up a ton of points here.
38:44
Speaker 1: Nobody on the other side that can really stop him.
38:46
Speaker 1: With Keegan Murray out, they're left to guys like an
38:48
Speaker 1: older what Russell Westbrook, who's never really been a defensive stopper.
38:53
Speaker 1: So I think Brunson very interesting tonight, going to be
38:57
Speaker 1: very low owned. And then for cat Stock, him away
39:00
Speaker 1: from Mitchell Robinson has definitely helped his rebounding rates. The
39:04
Speaker 1: role has kind of not been great for him, and
39:06
Speaker 1: he's also not playing a ton of minutes lately, so
39:09
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit more worried there. I think Brunson
39:11
Speaker 1: is a little bit more capable of playing upper thirties
39:13
Speaker 1: minutes and providing a bigger game right now, normally outside
39:17
Speaker 1: with kat But I do have interest in both these guys.
39:19
Speaker 1: And then I also think Mitch rob at four point
39:21
Speaker 1: one k is a guy you could go to as well.
39:24
Speaker 1: With how bad the Kings are at rebounding, he's still
39:26
Speaker 1: playing around twenty four to twenty five minutes. They're trying
39:28
Speaker 1: to find spots for him to get out there. Even
39:31
Speaker 1: with heartback, even with Cat healthy. So Nick side those
39:35
Speaker 1: three guys is who I'm looking at. And then Sacramento
39:38
Speaker 1: Westbrook with no Dennis Schroeder. I'm interested in Milik Monk
39:42
Speaker 1: with no Dennis Schroeder. He also closed over Zach Lavine
39:44
Speaker 1: last game, so you can maxiwell those two guys. I'll
39:48
Speaker 1: also say another plus for Kat is you're throwing guys
39:51
Speaker 1: like Reno and Yeah Card well, like these guys are
39:55
Speaker 1: young and just not grown into their man bodies yet,
39:58
Speaker 1: so I can see Kat really put in the like
40:01
Speaker 1: just going after this guys all game along. But what
40:04
Speaker 1: do you what do you like it in this one?
40:05
Speaker 3: I really like this game from a DFS perspective, It
40:08
Speaker 3: might be my favorite game because I think there's plays
40:10
Speaker 3: like all over the place at basically every price range,
40:12
Speaker 3: every price point. I should say so from the Knick side, man,
40:17
Speaker 3: I love I like Towns and Brunson a lot here,
40:19
Speaker 3: Like I'm with you on every point you made. I
40:22
Speaker 3: think that I do prefer Brunson slightly. But I also
40:25
Speaker 3: think that Kat has real upside for the point you
40:27
Speaker 3: mentioned at the end, like he's going against these young
40:30
Speaker 3: guys inside, like Kat could really feast here. I think
40:33
Speaker 3: that Brunston is more stable and offers like the better floor,
40:36
Speaker 3: and I think I like the spot better for him,
40:38
Speaker 3: and he's just not gonna get ownership with Keante George
40:41
Speaker 3: eight hundred cheaper. So I like Brunson a lot here.
40:44
Speaker 3: I like Towns a lot here. I like Mitch rob
40:47
Speaker 3: a lot here. He looks like one of the best,
40:51
Speaker 3: maybe the best value play on the entire slate at
40:53
Speaker 3: forty one hundred in this spot like just an elite
40:56
Speaker 3: spot for him at this price point, you know, barely
40:59
Speaker 3: over four K, So I like him a lot here.
41:03
Speaker 3: From the King side, I like your shoutouts on both
41:06
Speaker 3: Westbrook and Monk. Both those guys are wildly in play
41:09
Speaker 3: for me. And then Pressist, who has started I know
41:12
Speaker 3: he started last game, not sure if it's two in
41:14
Speaker 3: a row revenge spot here for him forty two hundred.
41:17
Speaker 3: I think he looks like one of the better value
41:19
Speaker 3: plays on the slate. You've got the Mike Brown angle
41:22
Speaker 3: of him going back to Sacramento, so I think you
41:25
Speaker 3: see an inspired effort from both sides here. I like
41:28
Speaker 3: this game quite a bit, honestly.
41:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit of a little bad blood between
41:33
Speaker 1: the Kings and Mike Brown, I would say too, and
41:35
Speaker 1: he kind of left on pretty bad terms. So yeah,
41:38
Speaker 1: it's a good shout there. Yeah, I'm with you. I
41:40
Speaker 1: think this is a very very interesting game and it's
41:43
Speaker 1: getting somewhat overlooked just from like a full game second perspective.
41:47
Speaker 1: You don't only have a ton of ownership like fifteen
41:49
Speaker 1: percent Westbrook seventeen. Monk is is fine, Like, I think
41:52
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. And then yet Precious he's capable of
41:56
Speaker 1: playing a ton of minutes and you're gonna need a
41:57
Speaker 1: ton of minutes from him because he's not the best
41:59
Speaker 1: permit a guy, but the power forward eligibility is good
42:03
Speaker 1: and he is probably playing a lot of minutes here. Yeah,
42:06
Speaker 1: I was just looking at some of the value scores
42:08
Speaker 1: that we had as of now. Mitch rob is the
42:10
Speaker 1: has the fourth best value score, Precious as the third best.
42:15
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean this game looks looks really really strong.
42:18
Speaker 3: Here. Would you say max one of Levine and Monk.
42:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would do that. They didn't stagger. I was
42:23
Speaker 1: looking at the rotation a little bit from two nights ago,
42:26
Speaker 1: and they didn't stagger for a ton, Like if you
42:29
Speaker 1: didn't want to be that strict for me, I'm not
42:31
Speaker 1: really playing Levine right now because I just don't think
42:33
Speaker 1: that he's playing inspired basketball right.
42:36
Speaker 3: But are you doing a west Brooking Monk together?
42:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd be fine with that. I was gonna say
42:41
Speaker 1: it could be a max if you want to keep
42:42
Speaker 1: Levine in. It could be a MAX two of Levine,
42:45
Speaker 1: Westbrook and Monk.
42:46
Speaker 3: But I think it sounds like you highly prefer the
42:48
Speaker 3: Westbrook and Monk over Leavine though, So yeah, for sure
42:51
Speaker 3: Levine in there. Yeah.
42:53
Speaker 1: Man, the handle like what they've been doing with Milik
42:55
Speaker 1: Monk is also pretty gross, Like how do you just know? Yeah,
42:58
Speaker 1: it's it's there's gotta be something that we just don't
43:00
Speaker 1: know what's going on behind the scenes. I just don't
43:02
Speaker 1: get it all right, Washington at Clippers, last game of
43:07
Speaker 1: the night at ten thirty pm, So for all you
43:10
Speaker 1: East Coast guys probably beginning ready for bed at this point. Yeah,
43:14
Speaker 1: we do have a pretty big Q tag on Kawhi Leonard.
43:16
Speaker 1: He's been questionable the last three games. Kind of got
43:19
Speaker 1: rolled up in New York, I believe against the Knicks,
43:22
Speaker 1: kind of stepped on a fans foot and then was
43:25
Speaker 1: hobbling a little bit. I feel like if there were
43:27
Speaker 1: ever a time to give him a night off, it
43:29
Speaker 1: would be against Washington, traveling from east coast to west coast.
43:33
Speaker 1: We'll see, though, I think that he definitely wants to play.
43:36
Speaker 1: He's playing great this season. But yeah, there's definitely a
43:40
Speaker 1: lot to like in this game. I'll let you touch
43:42
Speaker 1: on the Kawhi stuff. If you have any sort of
43:44
Speaker 1: lean on him begin and out, or if not, then
43:47
Speaker 1: you can just break down this game.
43:49
Speaker 3: I don't really have that strong the lean other that
43:51
Speaker 3: kind of I agree with your sentiment that, like he's
43:54
Speaker 3: been questioning while bunch recently, this seems like a good
43:56
Speaker 3: spot to sit him. Obviously, if he's healthy enough, he's
43:59
Speaker 3: gonna But they are I think the biggest favorites on
44:02
Speaker 3: the slate, or at least right up there eleven and
44:05
Speaker 3: a half point favorites I see right now. That's kind
44:07
Speaker 3: of baked in the Kawhi news, so I don't know.
44:09
Speaker 3: It kind of seems like a good spot for him
44:11
Speaker 3: to sit. If he sits, makes Harden look like an
44:14
Speaker 3: elite elite play, I mean, one of, if not like
44:18
Speaker 3: the best spend up option on the slate, even with
44:20
Speaker 3: Harden in or excuse me, with Kawhi An, I think
44:23
Speaker 3: Harden looks really really good at this price point. I mean,
44:27
Speaker 3: it's the Wizards just an elite spot for Harden at
44:31
Speaker 3: a very reasonable ninety five hundred dollars price tag. So
44:34
Speaker 3: I like Harden a lot. I'm willing to play him
44:36
Speaker 3: and hope the Kawhi news breaks right because I think
44:39
Speaker 3: Harden's a really strong play either way. Obviously you worry
44:42
Speaker 3: about the blowout, but if it blows out, I'm sure
44:46
Speaker 3: Harden had a lot to do with it. So much
44:49
Speaker 3: less concerned with playing players on the blowout side than
44:51
Speaker 3: the team getting blown out from the Washington side. I
44:56
Speaker 3: don't see much. And then excuse me. Going back to
44:58
Speaker 3: the Clipper side with h zubach out, I think brook
45:02
Speaker 3: Lopez looks like a more than viable play at thirty
45:05
Speaker 3: seven hundred. I'm never excited about playing brook brook Lopez,
45:09
Speaker 3: but we saw this, read this story a couple of
45:12
Speaker 3: weeks ago when Zubox was out, he was playing decent
45:15
Speaker 3: minutes and he's now under four k again, so again,
45:18
Speaker 3: I think he's more than viable at that price point.
45:23
Speaker 1: Can I talk you into some Yani coded Jani coded Nederhauser, Yeah.
45:29
Speaker 3: I mean you could h.
45:32
Speaker 1: Is.
45:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess you could flat three K. Hey. I
45:35
Speaker 3: never I will never argue with a flat three K play.
45:39
Speaker 1: Yeah to me. I'm struggling. Like I was kind of
45:43
Speaker 1: talking Smarck about Brook Lopez and Disco before we hopped
45:46
Speaker 1: on to our guy, Parabay. It's I mean, he's gonna
45:50
Speaker 1: project so strong, but I really think that he's over
45:52
Speaker 1: projected because a lot of projection systems will say, Okay,
45:57
Speaker 1: the Wizards have been one of the worst teams against centers,
45:59
Speaker 1: like they have their DVP stuff baked into projections. But
46:03
Speaker 1: it's just he's not the same type of center that
46:05
Speaker 1: gets it done against Washington. Like this guy is literally
46:09
Speaker 1: doesn't to getting re I kind of think it does,
46:12
Speaker 1: like if he's just gonna be sitting out there launching
46:14
Speaker 1: threes and not getting any rebounds, and it kind of
46:17
Speaker 1: takes away his overall upside. I think you'd be fine
46:20
Speaker 1: playing game if he got you twenty four to twenty five,
46:23
Speaker 1: But is that enough to win you the slate? I'm
46:26
Speaker 1: not really sure. Like I feel like we could see
46:28
Speaker 1: a better score points for dollarwise against mit or with
46:31
Speaker 1: Mitch rob or with Dayron Sharp for one, thousand dollars more. Yeah,
46:37
Speaker 1: I don't know he's gonna be someone I'm definitely contemplating
46:40
Speaker 1: leaning up to slave. But I kind of like Conan here,
46:43
Speaker 1: Jonni Conen Niederhauser, because last couple of times that Zubac
46:48
Speaker 1: has missed, I think it was against Utah was the
46:50
Speaker 1: last time he played twenty seven minutes in that game,
46:53
Speaker 1: and it was a close game. I kind of feel
46:55
Speaker 1: like he just is like sets up better here mat was.
47:00
Speaker 1: He's the guy that's gonna be scoring around the basket.
47:03
Speaker 1: He's a pretty good rebounder. And then you also are
47:05
Speaker 1: probably getting him out there for all the blowout run
47:09
Speaker 1: as well. So and if you do think the game's
47:10
Speaker 1: blown out, you should definitely be taking away some minutes
47:14
Speaker 1: from Brook Lopez and giving it to neither Houser.
47:15
Speaker 3: In my opinion, yeah, totally. I mean, not even a question.
47:19
Speaker 3: I guess for me, I guess then it depends on
47:22
Speaker 3: how steamed Lopez gets. Like, if he's becoming like one
47:26
Speaker 3: of the most popular players on the slate, I have
47:28
Speaker 3: no problem getting away from him. But if he's just
47:30
Speaker 3: like average owned, I have no problem getting away from
47:33
Speaker 3: him or playing him. I certainly don't think he's a
47:35
Speaker 3: must play, but I do think that, like at under
47:39
Speaker 3: four K, a lot of the negative detractors you mentioned
47:42
Speaker 3: are kind of for not because he's so cheap.
47:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right now it's him as the most highest own. Okay,
47:49
Speaker 1: that's probably true. I think it's it's gonna between him
47:52
Speaker 1: and Kobe for sure.
47:53
Speaker 3: And to your point, like you know, even if he
47:57
Speaker 3: has a good points per hour scorer, he's scored is
48:00
Speaker 3: like twenty three to twenty four fantasy points. Like oftentimes
48:03
Speaker 3: at center you've got guys that just nuke and you
48:07
Speaker 3: can't win without the guy that goes for like fifty
48:10
Speaker 3: sixty plus. Now with no Jokic, you know that is
48:14
Speaker 3: a little bit, there's a lot more leeway there. Certainly
48:17
Speaker 3: there's like Embiid, there aren't a ton of guys you're
48:19
Speaker 3: worried about going for like massive scores. But certainly even
48:24
Speaker 3: a you know, good point per dour score from Lopez
48:27
Speaker 3: might not mean that much. You're gonna need an actual
48:29
Speaker 3: good score I think from every position tonight.
48:32
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a great point. You mentioned Center you
48:36
Speaker 1: definitely cannot miss on. There are some guys that can
48:38
Speaker 1: get done. Like you said, embiid. We did talk about
48:41
Speaker 1: some ways that he could fail, not fail, but not
48:44
Speaker 1: really blow it away. But do have nurkics there at
48:47
Speaker 1: seven point three K. I guess Booch is getting you know,
48:51
Speaker 1: a little bit of a little bit of love. I
48:52
Speaker 1: mean basically close. Yeah, I was gonna say anything on
48:55
Speaker 1: the washing side. He was definitely the guy that I
48:57
Speaker 1: had the most interesting kind of regardless, I think that
49:00
Speaker 1: he's go ahead. I think he said really well tonight,
49:03
Speaker 1: but go ahead and break that down.
49:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sor for me. I think the Trey Johnson
49:07
Speaker 3: is the second guy. You mentioned him a little bit
49:08
Speaker 3: ago with the pivots off of picket, but and I
49:11
Speaker 3: do like him here. He's gotten better lately. I've been
49:14
Speaker 3: on him, talked about it in the discord a while ago. Like,
49:16
Speaker 3: I'm just a big fan of his game is good. Yeah,
49:19
Speaker 3: he's just kind of an electric scorer, can get it
49:21
Speaker 3: done at all levels. So I'm interested in him. Not
49:24
Speaker 3: a must play at his now five to two price tag,
49:26
Speaker 3: but guy I like, and then Sar is really the
49:29
Speaker 3: guy that interested. It interests me here because we know
49:33
Speaker 3: that he's got massive upside. He showed it last time
49:36
Speaker 3: out against Phoenix in a blowout. So maybe this game
49:39
Speaker 3: doesn't get too crazy out of hand. Maybe Kawhi is
49:42
Speaker 3: out and the matchups are a little bit more. Even
49:45
Speaker 3: if this game is close, I have a hard time
49:48
Speaker 3: seeing Sar not getting there in a big way. So
49:50
Speaker 3: he's one of those guys who we just talked about
49:53
Speaker 3: that can kind of make Lopez's score irrelevant if he
49:56
Speaker 3: goes for fifty, you know, fifty five something like that.
49:59
Speaker 3: Now he won't really beyonned, so it won't matter that much,
50:02
Speaker 3: but it sure is how it would be nice to
50:04
Speaker 3: have him on your side if he throws up a
50:05
Speaker 3: score like that.
50:07
Speaker 1: Definitely, And yeah, I think that there's really a lot
50:10
Speaker 1: working in his favor. I didn't mind the matchup against
50:13
Speaker 1: Zu back. He's been honestly pretty bad defensively. But now
50:15
Speaker 1: you replace him with brook Lopez, who's what twenty years
50:19
Speaker 1: older than Sar, Like, I think that Sar can just
50:23
Speaker 1: get around him with ease, Like Brook Lopez is so slow,
50:26
Speaker 1: doesn't really provide much defensively, So I think that Sar,
50:30
Speaker 1: that's a great shout by you, so ill like him
50:32
Speaker 1: a good bit.
50:33
Speaker 3: Trey Johnez off the floor.
50:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, like that could also be like, if you
50:38
Speaker 1: think Star is doing well, that's probably another plus for
50:41
Speaker 1: Yannick in some ways. Maybe. I mean, the Clippers could
50:44
Speaker 1: go a little bit smaller with John Collins, So I
50:47
Speaker 1: guess is another guy that we didn't really mention, But
50:49
Speaker 1: I think that he does get a little bit better
50:51
Speaker 1: in this spot as well with Zubuck out, because he's
50:54
Speaker 1: going to be the guy that's setting the pick and
50:56
Speaker 1: rolls and going to the basket with with James Harden,
50:59
Speaker 1: Now it's not going to be Brook Lopez. He's gonna
51:01
Speaker 1: be standing around the three point line just picking pop
51:03
Speaker 1: type stuff. So I think it definitely benefits Collins a
51:06
Speaker 1: little bit more than anybody else on the Clippers. I
51:11
Speaker 1: also don't mind cool of Balia either. He's much better
51:14
Speaker 1: in close game scripts. So probably pair him up with
51:17
Speaker 1: one or two Clippers that you think are gonna do
51:19
Speaker 1: well something that does work in his favor as well.
51:22
Speaker 1: As the Clippers are towards the bottom half of the
51:24
Speaker 1: league in turnover percentage, so it could be one of
51:27
Speaker 1: those spots we get like three to four steals from him.
51:29
Speaker 1: Those plus eight points definitely help when he's playing thirty
51:32
Speaker 1: thirty two minutes, so, but yeah, I think that does
51:36
Speaker 1: cover it. Alex Aar definitely does not suck. He's had
51:39
Speaker 1: a couple you probably probably salty like a lot of
51:43
Speaker 1: us from that one night against New Orleans where he
51:44
Speaker 1: put up one rebound. But he's not bad. Uh.
51:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, highlight of like the block and then him like
51:52
Speaker 3: running the fast break against Phoenix last game.
51:54
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I assume that happened over the weekend.
51:58
Speaker 1: I was a little checked out this weekend. But yeah,
52:02
Speaker 1: I mean he's a stunt. He's gotten a lot better
52:05
Speaker 1: last season, from last season to this one. Yeah. Jordan
52:08
Speaker 1: Miller definitely another guy that's in play, been playing really well.
52:12
Speaker 1: Some positive coach speak about him as well. But yeah,
52:14
Speaker 1: I think that pretty much covers it. From this game.
52:17
Speaker 1: I don't you're kind of using guys like Chris Dunn
52:19
Speaker 1: and Miller as like pivots. I guess if you're planning
52:23
Speaker 1: for the Jamal Murray stuff and he gets ruled in,
52:26
Speaker 1: then you can go down to Chris Dune if you
52:28
Speaker 1: really want to. He's not really a guy that's ever
52:32
Speaker 1: gonna excite you for DFS, I would say, so, I'm
52:34
Speaker 1: kind of fine getting away from him. But yeah, any
52:37
Speaker 1: any closing thoughts.
52:39
Speaker 3: No, I think between those two guys it would be
52:41
Speaker 3: miller for me. And then yeah, someone said Will Riley
52:44
Speaker 3: coming off the bench for the Wizards, I see him
52:47
Speaker 3: projecting decently some places. He's the flat three K Like,
52:52
Speaker 3: I think I'm good there unless I need it. I'm
52:54
Speaker 3: not building around him, but I do see him getting
52:56
Speaker 3: a little bit of love. So someone mentioned it wanted
53:00
Speaker 3: to shout him out, but I think I'm probably good there.
53:03
Speaker 1: Cool our. Oh that covers all seven games then, Uh,
53:07
Speaker 1: pretty made pretty good time here, even with the technical
53:09
Speaker 1: difficulties at the top of the show. Yeah, I definitely
53:12
Speaker 1: excited about this one. Yeah, don't don't think it's a
53:17
Speaker 1: slate that you got to get too crazy too early.
53:18
Speaker 1: I would definitely be have a plan prepared for some
53:22
Speaker 1: of the questionable tags. Yeah, later in the night, but yeah,
53:25
Speaker 1: that's gonna it's gonna do it. If you have any
53:27
Speaker 1: any last thoughts before we get out of here.
53:29
Speaker 3: It's kind of adding on to your last point, like,
53:31
Speaker 3: if you're playing tonight, you better be prepared to be
53:34
Speaker 3: able to make changes be at your computer. Uh, no
53:37
Speaker 3: matter how many lineups you're playing. So certainly the last
53:40
Speaker 3: lineups you play, the easier it is, but just know that,
53:42
Speaker 3: like if you're not willing or able to do that,
53:45
Speaker 3: like the field has a big edge on you.
53:47
Speaker 1: Yep.
53:48
Speaker 3: So yeah, yep.
53:50
Speaker 1: And with that our guy spiritual expression likes Colin Tonight,
53:54
Speaker 1: I agree with you, former jazz legend. But yeah, we're
53:56
Speaker 1: gonna get us out of here. Then I'll be back
53:58
Speaker 1: tomorrow with title for a no Their NBA show. I'm
54:00
Speaker 1: not sure how many games we got for that one,
54:02
Speaker 1: but usually pretty solid Thursday late and then Matt will
54:05
Speaker 1: be back on Friday with him. Good luck tonight, everyone,
54:08
Speaker 1: and yeah, we'll catch you tomorrow.
54:59
