Fall systems do clear for lifting. What's going on? Everybody happy Wednesday?
0:39
Hope you guys and Gayl's having a good day so far. Rio and Iron
0:43
for a tree tonight as our all of you. If you're playing this eight
0:46
game NBA slate, I like how it's broken up. We have a nice
0:50
two hour window both FanDuel and DraftKings eight eight games on the slate. Two
0:54
games at seven pm Eastern, two games at seven thirty, one game at
0:58
eight and three at ten o'clock. So one hour window, got a grind
1:03
two hours off and you get those last three games bunched together showed on content
1:07
of course we will have on the site. Bring my man, Rio,
1:10
how you doing on this fine Wednesday afternoon? Doing good? Last show of
1:14
the week for me. Then head out to Arizona tomorrow. So I got
1:17
go my guys, ham title and Nay, it's gonna get you guys covered
1:21
over there. But yeah, good slate here. Just literally just published the
1:25
slave plan right before we went live, and yeah, I mean I'm looking
1:29
for tonight's slate a lot of It's one of those slates where you wish you
1:32
had five to six point guard slots tonight because there's so many good options tonight
1:38
in the point guard position. But yeah, I'm looking forward tonight. Slate
1:41
got the eight eighty eight tonight. I know we got some members in there,
1:44
so good luck to everybody playing in that one. Yeah, for sure,
1:47
first or last in that one. Maybe two fifty k up top would
1:49
be nice, for sure. A Z bound go collects as you bet.
1:53
We'll see Rio and Jasmin right here on Saturday. Very excited for that.
1:57
You guys have a nice trip. Ben's in here, Jordan, go collect
2:01
alex Han William. Yeah, you mentioned shout out Ham, shoutout needs.
2:06
We will be taking content over for real. He will be enjoying for the
2:09
enjoying the weekend for the most part. So if you're in discord, you
2:13
won't see him in there twenty four to seven as much. He's gonna be
2:15
trying to win that million dollars. Richie Small's time for the winners. Yes,
2:20
sir man, it is a crazy slate though there's a billion Q tags
2:23
like and the honest being ruled out really doesn't do too much for this slate.
2:28
It's kind of crazy, how I see it. You mentioned the point
2:30
guard position. I mean the game of the night for sure is Sacramento,
2:32
Toronto. When talking ownership, the price is just so many misprices in that
2:38
game. That's where value will come from, sabonus as well. Any other
2:43
broad slate overviews, I mean, so much is going to change up throughout
2:46
the nights. That's why you need to be at chippin Nation dot com.
2:49
Projections updated throughout the knight. If something changed on your core reports, cash
2:53
report, etc. It's updated. But we'll do the best we can now.
2:57
But yeah, besides a bunch of Q tags, any other injuries and
3:00
point guard being good, any other broad slate overview before we go game by
3:04
game, I know, not too much. Yeah, I mean I'm kind
3:07
of in agreement with we're ownership standing right now. It did just get the
3:12
news right before we went live. Anthony Simon's got downgrade to questionable, so
3:15
that that's gonna throw another wrench into the slate with that game being the late
3:21
the late lock windows, so you know, we'll try to break it down
3:23
as best we can. But yeah, I don't know. I mean,
3:25
there's so many good point guard options tonight, it's gonna that's really the make
3:30
or break position tonight. I think you're gonna have to get that one right,
3:32
So do our best to pinpoint the guys that we like tonight. Cool,
3:37
let's do it again like Bud helps us out, a time subscribe button
3:39
helps us out, and if you do want to join us at the nation.
3:43
PGA locks in the morning, Tamba Hoop just did a show MMA this
3:46
week, and of course NBA MLB will be here before you know it.
3:50
What eight days away? So crazy? Use that promo code Mayo Mayo shout
3:53
out Mayo get you ten percent off any package code Mayo ten percent off.
4:00
Game by game real start with the first one of the night, very low
4:02
total to kick it off. Cleveland Cavaliers Miami Heat. We have a what
4:06
two to oh five total, Cavs one and a half point favorites injury reporting
4:12
this one and a bunch of injuries of course. Miami side Jimmy Bam Djovic
4:17
What Bam was a mid day downgrade I believe, and Jimmy participated in shoot
4:21
around, so that's worth noting. We will get this news before lock.
4:26
It's still without Tyler Hero Cavs side no d Mitch, no Shrews, no
4:30
Dean Wade. I'll throw it to you, Yeah, obviously really low total.
4:33
I don't want much exposure in this one, especially with Q tags A
4:38
lot of Q tags on this slid. I don't want to lock myself in
4:40
too much of this game. But I do like some Indiana Detroit that locks
4:44
right away to start. But Levert's the only one that's grading out as a
4:47
solid value for me. He does have that shooting guard eligibility. You said
4:51
you like point guard, point guard, shooting guard, probably playing that shooting
4:55
guard if you do play him. But yeah, I guess talk about BAM
4:59
and Jimmy q TA and what it does in this one, but I don't
5:01
like it too much. Yeah, I mean, the spread would probably tell
5:04
me these guys play, but it's never good having the mid day downgrade.
5:08
With Bam. I believe he's dealing with the back injury, has been kind
5:11
of dealing with that for a little bit now. But yeah, I mean
5:15
it's it's definitely possible both these guys sit just because I mean, standing standings
5:19
wise, think that Miami doesn't really care too much where they wind up in
5:24
the playoff race. I mean, I think that they they just want to
5:27
go into the playoffs as healthy as they can be, so pushing these guys,
5:30
and I wouldn't say this is a meaningless game, but I don't think
5:35
that it's like a must win game for them, So I would not be
5:39
surprised to see them sit. Obviously, we'll have that news. I think
5:42
as the stands right now, the Heat are pretty much a full X out
5:45
for me if BAM and Jimmy were to be in. If those guys were
5:47
out, then we're looking to Caleb mar and Terry Rozi or Honey Hawks,
5:53
Heywood high Smith, Thomas Bryan I believe would be a really, really good
5:56
value starting for for a BAM out of buy, and that would make the
6:01
matchup a lot easier for Jared Allen as well. I mean, these these
6:04
Cleveland guys aren't only getting much ownership, and I think the matchup is not
6:09
great right now with BAM in, But if you were to be out,
6:11
Jared Allen looks pretty good at eight point one K, and then I'd really
6:14
just want to be focusing on the guys that are going to be taking three
6:17
pointers for the Cleveland side of things, because Miami really good interior defense,
6:21
but three point funnel as of lad, so I think Garlan would be pretty
6:25
good at seven point ak LeVert is already gonna be a pretty solid play at
6:28
seven point one. K. I guess these like value guys just there's no
6:32
way you're getting to them over any of these Detroit or Toronto guys. So
6:38
yeah, I mean like Sam Meryl, Isaaca Crow, George Niang, the
6:42
matchup suits them pretty well for their play styles, but I'm not looking to
6:46
play them over any of these Toronto guys. So as of right now,
6:48
pretty much a full cross off game outside of Kris Lavert and then a little
6:51
bit more interest if the Miami injury news shakes out the way we hope it
6:56
to. What about if Bam was out and Jimmy was in. Jimmy at
7:00
AK ownership still will be low, price is solid. Can you get to
7:04
Jimmy close close game? Yeah, I wouldn't mind. I mean, he's
7:11
kind of I mean, he's had that stretch where he was looking like playoff
7:14
Jimmy kind of come back down to earth a little bit as of late.
7:15
I believe some of that has to do with Terry Rozier's role kind of increasing.
7:20
But yeah, aka'd be a really good price HECT for him. He'd
7:23
have a ton of usage probably see the rebounding rates increase as well if no
7:27
BAM. But I just think that I would rather get to the value options
7:30
because I just like too many of the spend up options tonight to be playing
7:34
a mid tier Jimmy when like the ceiling for him, I would say is
7:39
probably like fifty. I think that'd be really good on the slate, but
7:43
not what I'm looking for there, Rows and ask, is what you're saying?
7:46
I got Yeah, I agree, yeah, pretty much low verts and
7:50
I like your call though, if BAM was out, Like talking about the
7:54
other side, Jared Allen, his ownership wouldn't really change. People don't think
7:58
of it. They think of if BAM's out, Thomas Bryant, etc.
8:01
Which four k is a good price tag if he did start. But yeah,
8:03
Allen at eight to one, no ownership, I mean no ownership.
8:07
And you mentioned today center's a solid position. I think for sure there's the
8:11
two in the Toronto game, John Z Porter Sabonis. Other than that,
8:15
though it's not great. Like you said, point guard's your favorite position.
8:18
So I wouldn't mind playing a Jared Allen maybe one of those other two if
8:22
BAM was out. So I like that shout. I got four teams today,
8:26
something I'll be considering in at least one of them. And people just
8:28
don't like locking themselves into too much in these first couple of games, especially
8:33
with three games at ten and a lot of Q tags. So eat some
8:37
chalk mixing, a low piece or two. Allen's got that upside to break
8:39
a sleep, That's how I see it, Skip it roll. The next
8:41
game, the second of two, they locks at seven. Eastern Indiana Pacers
8:46
Detroit Pistons. We have the pacer or two thirty five and a half total,
8:50
Pacers ten and a half point favorites. No injury news or Doug mcdermot's
8:56
questionle for the Pacers doesn't mean much. Detroit side uh Fentechio's questionable, which
9:01
means a good bit. Aser Thompson out, Isaiah Stewart out, Yeah,
9:05
Detroit side is pretty interesting and that Fontachio news means a decent bit. I
9:11
already think Kate this is solid play seven to nine. He's going to come
9:13
with some ownership though. That's why I was talking like Jimmy is a pivot.
9:16
Obviously different positions right there, but Kate looks really solid on paper to
9:22
me. Just high pace game, good matchup, not much defense, injuries
9:26
on the Detroit side and the Pacers side too. I mean, Tyrese,
9:30
maybe you're talking about getting these point guards. Al right, it feels like
9:33
the Knight. This feels like the night. He owes me a big one.
9:35
I don't know about the lock button, but I'm definitely going to get
9:37
some Tyrese talk about. I mean, this game looks like some goodness.
9:41
Talk about fantachio injury and that Detroit side to start though, Yeah, I'll
9:46
start with the fontech stuff because it does have a pretty big impact in terms
9:50
of how the rotation's gonna shake out. I mean, you look at it.
9:52
Detroit's going to be very very thin tonight. No Quinn Grimes, no
9:56
Isaiah Stewart, two pretty big rotation pieces. Obviously, Isaiah Stuart is a
10:00
starter, so him being out, and then Tosh Gibson, who got the
10:03
start in the second half for Stewart when he got injured, is also questionable
10:07
with the hamstring injury. I mean, Taj is seventy two years old with
10:11
the hamstrings hamstring injury, so I would expect him to probably sit too because
10:16
it was Taj. But yeah, I mean he did get minutes, so
10:20
yeah, So I mean, now if you're if you're telling me that Toaj
10:24
is out too and they have no en Simoni Fontekio if he gets ruled out
10:28
with the with the toe injury, which is I mean, we've seen a
10:31
lot of guys miss times with the similar injury, so he's not really a
10:35
lot to be playing. So if both Taj and Fontekio miss, we're talking
10:39
about a lot of minutes out of Stanley and Moudey who got the start last
10:41
time, been getting talked up by Monty Williams a good bit. And then
10:46
to son evvuwam he was with the Grizzlies, I believe for a ten day
10:50
contract. I mean he would probably see a ton of minutes as well.
10:54
Saw eighteen minutes against uh against Boston last game. Yeah, I mean,
11:01
like they're gonna be really thin. So I think you'd have to have some
11:03
interest in these guys, even Troy Brown at three K possible start candidate.
11:07
We kind of know what Troy bound is at this point of decres He's been
11:09
you know, he's decent, but I probably could do a lot worse.
11:15
I think that it would be comfortable locking yourself into is the first game of
11:18
the night, if like Fuan Techio Taj and then we're all out. I
11:24
mean, if if Simone and Toadj are out, I think I would probably
11:26
want one of mood Ay or Toson, depending on who's starting, just because
11:30
I think that the minutes can be really big for those guys. I mean
11:33
a Moody played with thirty one minutes last thirty four minutes against Boston last game,
11:37
didn't really do too much, but much softer matchup going against Indie tonight.
11:41
So I would I'd have some interest in these guys. And yeah,
11:46
changes he signed this morning to the ten day. He's not playing today though,
11:50
or is he I'm not sure exactly. I almost to see him.
11:58
It was literally this more. I don't know if like he was already in
12:01
like he probably has a fly that I doubt he probably plays, but he
12:05
did sign. Yeah, this is I don't know. I actually don't know
12:09
exactly how that works if you're allowed to play like the day you sign,
12:11
or or if he's been in contact with them for a while, if they
12:15
knew they were going to sign him. So I don't I don't exactly know
12:18
too much but that is something to keep in mind. I think we'll probably
12:20
get the an update whether he's available or not before the game starts, is
12:24
what I'm guessing. But yeah, so I think that they Detroit side's pretty
12:31
interesting if the if the team is really thin tonight, but starting with the
12:33
guys at top, because I think that this is a really good spot for
12:37
uh really two positions in particular on both sides, because both these teams play
12:41
very similar styles of defense, where pretty bad interior defenses, both towards the
12:46
bottom of the league in pick and roll defense pacers being dead last and pick
12:52
and roll and ISO defense, whereas the Pistons are bottom three and pick and
12:56
roll defense to pall handler's and pick and roll dead last pick and roll role
13:01
men. So that really just gets me on the point guards and centers in
13:05
this one. So I have a ton of interest in Tarrys Halliburton tonight,
13:09
even with the current form he's in obviously not shooting well. He's been kind
13:13
of in the in the headlights of the social media world lately, talking about
13:20
the gambling aspect of sports and talking about seeing a sports psychologist saying that he's
13:24
struggling to shoot right now hasn't really gone through a streak like this, but
13:28
yeah, me's shooting seventeen percent from three point range over the last nine games.
13:31
Not too good. But yeah, I like the match of him at
13:33
time still. I mean, the fantasy scoring has been there, forty four
13:37
plus DK points in five of the last seven games. His role is coming
13:39
back over seven minutes of touch time over the last seven games as well.
13:45
Yeah, I really like the matchup for Haliburns and I all definitely have a
13:46
lot of him. I'm always kind of on the side of getting away from
13:50
Pascal Siakaman ownership. He seems to always be around twenty percent. Just he
13:56
never really has the ceiling to beat you. Of course it's gonna, as
14:01
we say, that's like damar, he's gonna do it tonight, but he
14:03
did it last time. Yeah, pull up the game. I guess at
14:09
the time when I was shipping on him the game, Yeah, fifty four
14:13
piece. There alwas an ask who was that? We said before Jimmy.
14:16
Jimmy's putting out two It might not be enough to know on tonight's SLAGH because
14:22
there's some pretty good value options and a lot of good spend ups, so
14:26
that's not a lock to be optimal, I don't think, but you'd obviously
14:28
be happy with that if you got fifty from Siakam matchup is a lot better
14:31
with no Isaiah Stewart in there. But I'm really just looking at Tyreez and
14:35
Miles Turner. Turner's third in the league and pick and roll roleman scoring this
14:39
season. Piston's dead last in that in that category, like I mentioned earlier,
14:43
So I like Myles Turner. He's kind of shown a little bit more
14:46
of a willingness to be more of a score around the basket rather than hanging
14:50
around the three point line, So don't mind him. I think Aarthony Smith
14:54
not really the spot for him, but the price tag is really good at
14:56
five K. And then always have TJ McConnell in your playpool, just because
15:01
he's got huge upside coming off the bench, put up thirty seven and a
15:03
half in just eighteen minutes against his team earlier. Love the love the spot
15:09
for guys that score and pick and rolls. I think TJ has a really
15:11
big upside. And then yeah, Kate and Jalen during two of my favorite
15:16
plays in in this game. Seven point nine K for kid really good,
15:22
best possible match up for him. He is six in the league and pick
15:24
and roll scorer in this season. Just not too sure what the minutes are
15:30
going to be like for him coming back. Got the night off the other
15:33
night obviously with the with the back to back, but he's had a couple
15:35
of days off. So if we can get thirty four to thirty six out
15:41
of him, I think he's got huge fifty five to sixty point ceiling in
15:43
this game. If it's thirty two, then he's probably topped out like fifty
15:48
to fifty five or something like that. But yeah, I really like the
15:50
spot for Kate and then Duran. I think that he has a really good
15:54
game tonight. Six point nine k good for him, much more rebounding upside
15:58
with Isaiah Stewart out with Hash Gibson possibly missing in this one, So yeah,
16:03
I like those two guys a lot. In this game is Duran or
16:07
Miles Turner and then Cad and or Tyres if you had to pick, and
16:11
then would there be any merit if like if you played Cad playing Duran or
16:15
vice versa to that, if you're deciding, because like I don't know how
16:19
many Duran Duran, Miles Turner's teams I'm gonna have like sim Bonus and John
16:25
Say definitely looks strong at least one of them. They'll probably be on a
16:27
lot of my teams. I can definitely see myself playing one of these guys
16:30
though, So like six nine sixty six, do you have a price or
16:33
do you have a preference? Obviously there's one k difference with Tyrese Caid,
16:37
but I think Aid both are gonna get ownership. I don't know, so
16:41
I won't say that do you have a lean on on those one do ones?
16:45
I think I side with the Detroit guys. I like the upside a
16:49
little bit better for Duran than Turner in the spot, and then I think
16:53
price adjusted CAID is is probably a better point for dollar play than Halliburton,
17:00
very similar upside. We haven't seen like the big sixty seventy pointers from Haliburton
17:03
like we saw earlier this season. So not to say he can't do it
17:07
tonight, but I would. I mean, I still I really like halburn
17:11
tonight, but comparative to to kid with the price tag, I would take
17:15
the one k difference. I think, yeah, makes a lot of sense.
17:18
I do like TJ a lot, though the minutes are capped, which
17:22
you hate, so the upside's sort of caffed. But man, the floor
17:25
feels pretty. I say that there's obviously twelve seventeens in there, but his
17:29
use is twenty four to thirty, twenty nine, twenty three, twenty five,
17:32
thirty four, like it's north of twenty almost all game or almost all
17:34
these games. Obviously he has stock upside. I definitely like TJ at four
17:40
or five. How would like TJ compare to some of those pistons, Guys,
17:45
if if Ontechio was out, like first of all, like Sasser,
17:52
I think you would still like TJ over Sasser. But I know there's some
17:55
price difference with that really long e even that name, and then uh Umadi
18:04
or whatever. But Umity's strong at three to nine. But I guess that's
18:07
more of a question TJ or Umdy. If Fantacy was out, uh,
18:12
probably Amuda just for the shooting guard small fort eligibility, kind of would prefer
18:18
to pay down at those positions just with the strength of the point guard spot
18:22
tonight, I don't know if I want to. I don't know if I
18:25
want to get to TJ when I can get to Kid or Tyrese or too
18:30
Fowk, Stemen Lillard, those types of guys. I do think it is
18:33
an interesting pit, like people are gonna go Johnte and some of those raptors.
18:37
War is gonna be popular for some some savings. Ken Allie is gonna
18:41
get some too. I do think TJ his ownership has to be capped to
18:44
an extent. He's gonna get some. But he's a strong place, just
18:47
like you keep saying that position is really strong. Last thing on this game,
18:51
your boy Nie Smith, guard Ford eligibility, low owned, semi low
18:56
owned. What's your read on? What's your read on him? Yeah?
19:00
I normally like get into Nie Smith in games where I think he could put
19:03
up a big shooting night, especially from three point range, Like I mean,
19:07
I guess he did it against Orlando. But like the Pacers are,
19:10
I believe, top of the league in catch and shoot defense this season,
19:14
but it's just because their rim defense is so weak that teams just don't really
19:18
shoot much on them because they can get to the rim. So yeah,
19:22
I just don't really know if that if this is the spot for Nee Smith,
19:23
But I mean he should play a ton of minutes, so he's got
19:29
that going for him. But yeah, I don't know. I don't really
19:30
think that the huge upside that I want from Nie Smith normally in better matchups
19:34
is there tonight. I'm just trying to get some like Caruso play you had
19:38
a Nie Smith, one of those big gays too, one of these one
19:41
of these games. I'm looking for a little tim We'll find some. Yeah,
19:45
let's keep it going. This game, I don't know, not a
19:48
game I love too much. In terms of dfs, Milaukee Bucks Boston Celtics,
19:52
big, big spread again, Boston ten and a half point favorites two
19:56
twenty five and a half total. No Jannis for the Bucks for the Boston
20:00
for Boston, Jalen Brown, Drew Enhauser all questionable. So very important news
20:07
on the Celtics side. I guess yeah, I'll throw it to you on
20:10
this. I mean, Dane, you're talking about point guards. My thoughts,
20:14
I know, I prefer Tyrese Well. I think is gonna probably be
20:17
a little lower owned than Dame. I prefer him for cheaper. I prefer
20:19
Kid for cheaper. We're talking TJ who I really like for value. To
20:25
be honest, I don't love Dame in this spot as big dogs. If
20:26
they get blown out, he's gonna be one of the first to get pulled.
20:30
And man like, if Drew plays against the pick and roll, you
20:33
talk about a lot they can bv but like, hey, Drew ain't gonna
20:37
want Drew likes Milwaukee, he didn't want to go. He liked the honest.
20:41
I don't think he's gonna try and let Dame go out there and just
20:42
absolutely nuke on him. But there's no young honest like, the defense isn't
20:47
gonna let Dane beat him today, is how I see it. Nine point
20:49
one K. I think there's a lot of better options he's coming with ownership.
20:52
I'm just not gonna really get there. I like Bobby at six K
20:56
power forward center eligible. Like, if I don't think Dame gets it going,
21:00
they're gonna need some scoring. Bobby's gonna get some low like low touches.
21:06
He can step out. I think Bobby's won, yeah, fifty four
21:08
piece last game, thirty usage. I love Bobby in this spot. Other
21:12
than that, though, if these Boston guys, I'll throw two on this.
21:15
Do you have reads on these Boston guys, because if they're out.
21:18
Of course Tatum becomes a good play port zingis would be interesting if multiple these
21:22
guys were out. But yeah, take it away, Yeah, I mean
21:29
you, I think you laid up pretty good. There. Definitely has some
21:32
downside risks to these guys with the blowout concerns, with obviously the Boston Celtics
21:37
being a really strong defense. You you pretty much said the best. I
21:38
do like to attack the Boston guys with guards, mainly with ball handlers,
21:45
guys that are gonna be scoring and pick and roll's definitely Dame's game like Celtics
21:49
bottom six pick and roll defense season, so they could still get beat even
21:52
with Drew Hollida and Derek White out there. In terms of the injury stuff,
21:59
I think Howser's probably the most likely to miss. Doesn't really change too
22:02
much. I think that Jaln Brown's injury probably a little bit less of a
22:06
concern as Drew's. Drew's dealing with the ac joint sprain I believe, so
22:11
definitely some a little bit of concern there. If he does miss, then
22:14
probably gets a gets much better for Damian Lillard. They'd probably want to start
22:18
payde Prichard. I would guess just because he's been playing so well lately,
22:21
they can just kind of slide everybody up a little bit. But yeah,
22:26
I don't know. I mean, I'm still pretty into Dame here, just
22:30
obviously with no Jannis off on the court this season, he's seen a really
22:33
big usage upticks, up seven point three percent on his season average, leads
22:38
a team in usage, has fifty one DK points per thirty six minutes with
22:41
Gis off the court, but he's also averaging fifty four point two DK points
22:45
in four games without Giannis this season. I think I kind of like him
22:49
more than ty Resee. I think I like him than a little bit better
22:52
than some of these guys. Probably not better than Kage just for the price
22:56
discount on kid. But yeah, I mean I still think that dame Is
23:00
is really good tonight. I think that they can keep the game close still.
23:03
They showed to be really competitive even with no Giannis, and I mean,
23:06
getting Chris Middleton back definitely helps them a ton because they need that extra
23:10
scoring. And I actually don't think that Milton is like the craziest option six
23:14
point two k. His minutes are definitely going to be topped out around twenty
23:17
five to twenty seven. I would assume they're gonna ramp him up pretty slowly,
23:21
but in twenty five minutes last game against Phoenix, he put up thirty
23:25
eight point twenty five DK points, really big. He sees the biggest usage
23:27
bump with no Jannis up eleven percent this season with Giannis off the court this
23:33
season and forty two d K points per thirty thirty six minutes, so I
23:37
think that he's a fine option six point two K as well. And then
23:41
Barby Ports is kind of the guy you just always play when Dame is out.
23:45
Definitely a tough matchup Celtics, really good just all around defense, really
23:48
good against front court guys. But he's averaging almost forty three points in four
23:52
games now jianis this season, so I think that he's still a really strong
23:56
option. And then like Milik Beasley and Ja Crowded are guys you can keeping
24:00
your player pull but not too excited about them. And then Boston side things
24:04
not too excited about them right now unless we get news that multiple of these
24:08
guys were out. But yeah, normally try to attack the Bucks with guards.
24:12
But seven point five K for White a little bit too much, six
24:15
point eight too much for Drew if they're if the team's fully healthy, So
24:19
not really looking to these Boston guys tonight. How crazy do you like?
24:23
Do you think it'd be if you like Dame to go like Tatum and Dame,
24:27
you're hoping the game stays close. I mean, Tatum's you can do
24:30
any like Jalen Brown or Porzingis. I think Tatum, sorry about that.
24:36
I don't know what my alarm was on a Twilve fifty five. I guess
24:41
you don't really like Tatum too much, so you're probably gonna say no.
24:42
I think it'd be a little interesting though, like if Dane keeps it close.
24:45
I mean, I think nine point nine K is a good price for
24:48
Tatum, so I guess that's what I'm seeing. I'm not really gonna get
24:52
to day much. He's gonna be popular though He's nine to one. Definitely
24:55
makes sense with how Giannis. I just think there is some downside too,
24:59
if they sell against Dame, if this game gets out of hand and point
25:02
guard he's just point guard eligible. There's a lot of other good plays.
25:06
Maybe I'll have him one or four something. I'll probably cap him at twenty
25:07
five percent though today and get more Tyrese. Yeah, good breakdown there monitor
25:14
Celtics news. That could change if Brown Houser, if all those guys are
25:18
out, then I would like Tatum then I think Porzingis would be interesting if
25:22
we do get that news seven thirty eastern, though Rio is not expecting it.
25:26
Let's get to the lot better. Game at seven thirty eastern does have
25:30
vault risk again though. Sacramento Kings Toronto Raptors two thirty three hit and a
25:34
half total, King's eleven point favorites. No Kevin Herder for Sacramento on the
25:41
Toronto side, no quickly, No RJ. Barrett Man. This is the
25:47
game that's getting all the ownership some of the most or most popular plays on
25:49
the slate. John s Porter, who's gonna be getting the start at center?
25:53
He has been starting, been playing good ball, playing like low twenties
25:56
minutes twenty one, twenty four, forty one, twenty four of the past
26:00
four games. Center again isn't great on this late warra three point a k.
26:06
He's gonna be popular. Bruce Brown, Grady Dick, I mean all
26:08
these guys, sabone is Fox Ohlennock, you go top to bottom. These
26:14
guys are way too cheap for the role Toronto's shorthanded. I mean, you
26:18
know where the minutes are going on both sides, So how many too many?
26:21
Who are you going to group away? Who are your favorites? I'll
26:23
say my favorite of all the chalk, I think, I don't know,
26:27
Monk's been so good to be man at six three. I love love Monky
26:30
in this spot, but John Say and Warra they fit a lot of Kean
26:34
Ellis is definitely my least favorite value in this when we're talking four K,
26:38
Porter, Warra, ken Ellis from talking who's gonna get ownership? Ken Elis
26:42
is definitely my least favorites. Porter just feels pretty safe. War is gonna
26:47
chuck. I don't know. Man looks like pretty good, pretty good chalk
26:52
to me. And that's why I think getting different at a spend up or
26:55
mid tier or something like that is their way to go. Yeah, take
26:59
it away however you want. It's gonna It's gonna be a lot of ownership
27:02
in this game. Yeah, I just wanted to clarify. I don't think
27:07
that Porter is gonna be starting or he hasn't really been starting, just getting
27:11
the backup center minutes in a little bit of minutes alongside Kelly Linock. But
27:15
okay, what why my bad on that Kelly's minutes have come down the past
27:18
couple is and John Day's gone up a little just because he's playing more,
27:22
and they're splitting it. Yeah, they're they're just splitting it. I believe
27:26
those games blew out as well. So yeah, they lost by fifteen to
27:30
Orlando last time and then only ten the time before that. But yeah,
27:34
I mean they're they're just kind of Kelly linok is kind of just like topped
27:37
out around twenty eight to thirty two. I just don't think you're ever gonna
27:41
see the thirty six is out of him. So they're gonna they're gonna play
27:45
Porter the all the backup center minutes and then a couple of minutes alongside a
27:51
Link as well. But yeah, I mean, this is a definitely situation
27:55
it's very hard to get away from because it's a great game environment for one
27:57
and both teams are I mean, the spend ups are really good. On
28:02
Sacramento, they're a little bit short handed with no Kevin Herder, and then
28:04
Sasha vi Zenkov got ruled out, which doesn't really change too much. But
28:08
obviously Toronto gonna be without Rji Barrett and Emanuel Quickly already without Scottie Barnes yaka
28:12
Pertle, so they're gonna look really good. I'll start with the Sacramento side
28:18
because I really like the spot for Sabonis. The Toronto Raptors defense just been
28:23
terrible since January first, talked about all the time, bottom two in the
28:26
league. Since the first of January. They're playing a lot faster as well,
28:30
getting giving up more points in transition, and Mike Brown last game said
28:36
that they wanted to get the team going more in transition. So I think
28:37
that we could see, you know, a lot more possessions in this one,
28:41
which is which just means more fantasy points. So Sabonis really good here.
28:45
Toronto bottom five room defense scoring this month. They're giving up a ton
28:48
of offensive rebounds with Kelly Linnock and John s Porter down low. We saw
28:52
with Jalen Durant did to them a couple of games ago. Sabonis, one
28:55
of the better rebounders in the league, got the fifty plus game double double
28:59
Street going as well. Yeah, I mean it's not much to say.
29:02
I think that he just crushes in this matchup and is not too crazy high
29:06
owned, which I think he should be a little bit higher. Probably want
29:10
to be max one Sabonis and Fox tonight, just with it them being almost
29:12
twenty k in salary. I do think that both of them could pay off.
29:17
But I mean if Sabonas hits like sixty to seventy, Fox hits like
29:22
fifty, there's probably a lot of guys in that same point guard range that
29:26
could top Darren Fox, like we mentioned with Haliburn, with Kid with Aami
29:30
Lollard, just a couple of guys in later games. So I don't really
29:33
want to restrict myself too much with those two in the same lineup, but
29:38
I think they're both in great spots. Fox been a little bit more passive
29:41
as of late, the drives come down a little bit, but this is
29:44
definitely spot. I can see him putting up a big score. Put it
29:48
going up against Bruce Brown, really good matchup for him. Just yeah,
29:51
Toronto's getting beat all over the place. So I love Fox tonight as well.
29:53
Malie Monk is really good. Played a ton of minutes last game filling
29:57
in for Kevin Herder who got that mid game. Played thirty four regulation minutes.
30:02
Always has huge upside come off the bench. Five five forty DK point
30:07
plus games in nine games lately, so yeah, upside is definitely there.
30:12
I think he can Murray is a good spot. Toronto gain beat by three
30:15
pointers as of late as well, So yeah, I mean you can make
30:18
a case for a lot of these guys. I'm probably just gonna be max
30:19
One, Murray and Barnes max one Sabona's Fox. I think I'd be okay
30:26
if I had Fox and Monk together and then Toronto side of things. Yeah,
30:30
I mean Kelly linok is gonna have a really big role. He was
30:33
kind of the de facto point guard for the team last game, last couple
30:37
of games are games that quickly has missed, so we kind of expect a
30:42
similar role. He's been the type of guy that can fill up the statute
30:45
in multiple ways. Matchup is not not the worst. Savona is not the
30:48
greatest defender, but he does bring a lot of fouerrists. I think that
30:52
there is some downside to a Linux. I mean I have it. I've
30:55
been fading link at the ownership lately just because the price tag is not It's
30:59
not like a suit for strong value. He projects really well, but hasn't
31:03
really had a performance where it really killed you for not playing him, So
31:04
I'm probably gonna take another underweight stance on Kelly Lennox tonight. I think that
31:11
Trent and Bruce Brown look pretty good. Trent got the big scoring upside,
31:14
but six point one K seems about at his ceiling, but he's been scoring
31:18
the ball really well lately. Scoring is very high variant, so it can
31:21
come and go in a game's notice. So yeah, I know you have
31:25
to choose which one do with him. I think Bruce Brown is pretty strong
31:27
at five point six K, mainly because he's got the small four eligibility.
31:32
Gonna be running the point tonight, so I don't have any issues with him.
31:36
Not too into Grady Dick, just the scoring has come down a lot
31:40
lately, but should play a ton of minutes. And then yeah, Porter
31:42
and no War I think are really the two best values on this probably on
31:47
the slate and definitely in this game, but a couple of pivots. I
31:51
think if in the same game, same team, Jayleen McDaniels, he's been
31:56
playing a little bit more minutes when the team shorthanded only three point four K,
32:00
and then Jamias Ramsey. I think he was kind of on his way
32:04
to a bigger game last time been playing nineteen eighteen nineteen minutes. Don't think
32:07
that he starts here tonight, but he's only three point two k and clearly
32:10
in the rotation. If the game blows out, I think that he's definitely
32:14
out there. So I don't think that he's the craziest play. But thinking
32:17
about groupings, I probably want to be like Max two of Nowora, Oshai
32:24
McDaniels and Dick, and then maybe like a Max one of Bruce Brown and
32:31
Ramsey. Yeah that makes sense right now. I mean Ramsey's gonna be He's
32:38
gonna be really low on, so I guess you can use him as a
32:42
pivot to some other chalk. But Bobzi's definitely my least favorites. That's gonna
32:45
get some ownership, I think. Man, he just doesn't really do anything.
32:49
It seems like Grady Dick. At least when he's out there, he's
32:52
shooting. I mean, twenty percent usage at least the past two games minutes
32:57
are somewhat capped. I mean, I think if people game log watch,
33:00
he could be even a little lower on than people project. I think I'd
33:04
be fine taking a shot on him at four to seven. Yeah, I
33:07
know, I don't like a Baji. Ramsey's gonna be lowan. What's your
33:10
thoughts on him? You think? Yeah, like you think he's got twenty
33:15
five thirty thirty in his range Fantasy points or minutes? Yeah, no,
33:20
fantasy points, Yeah, I mean it comes down to how many minutes he's
33:25
gonna play. Really, I don't know if he's got the thirty in him,
33:29
but maybe twenty to twenty five. He's gotten twenty against Orlando just two
33:32
games ago, so I think that he's got it in him. And he's
33:36
kind of been getting game blows out too, like eleven like he because I
33:40
mean, there's so much ownership going in this game. A guy that you
33:44
know will get some normal minutes that's basically free, that's gonna take away like
33:49
if he does well, someone's busting, a couple of guys are busting on
33:52
their team, and you can get a hold like up. So yeah,
33:54
what were you gonna say? Oh No, I was just gonna say that
33:58
he's been getting He was getting minutes even when the team was a little bit
34:01
healthier. He got minutes against Orlando a couple of games ago when they had
34:06
they had Quickly and then even last game, Quickly was still in there and
34:09
he got some minutes, So I think that he's kind of kind of here
34:13
to stay in terms of getting rotation minutes tonight. So John Day's got center
34:17
eligibility. What's going on, by the way, Jake, what's going on,
34:21
Charlie? Hope you guys doing well? Always good to see both of
34:23
you guys in here a lot. What's your thoughts on would you Max want
34:27
Kelly Porter? They're both going to get a good bit of ownership. People
34:30
are definitely gonna play him together. Power forward eligibility for Kelly, oh,
34:34
center for Porter? Is there a mayor to doing that? I don't think
34:37
you need to do it just because Kelly has got the power forward eligibility.
34:42
If he was just centered, then I wouldn't want them together. But yeah,
34:45
him having power forward just frees up a lot of spots, So I
34:49
think that I'd be okay with both of them together. And then last two
34:53
things, A, are you in the seat of Max? Like I'm seeing
34:55
optimals have like six in this game. Some will even have sapn some like
35:00
it is getting jammed because there's so many so bonus one of the best fans
35:04
on the slave point per dollar up top, so much good value like Bruce
35:07
Brown, Monk, Gary Trentz, Keegan Murray. They're gonna play a bunch
35:10
of minutes, like just in every range there's pieces. How many are are
35:15
you going to make a rule on either side? And max? How many
35:17
would you be okay with? And then Kean Ellis talk about him a little
35:22
more. You love point guard. He projects pretty well, but man,
35:27
it feels like if you can't get point guard wrong, he just did did
35:31
come off with thirty three or a twenty nine DK game seven percent usage,
35:37
Like I just don't know if I can use a point guard spot when it
35:38
feels like that is his ceiling. So yeah, at Kean Ellis than any
35:43
max rules in this game. Yeah, I mean Keon had he had six
35:46
stocks five blocks in the Steel. I mean he's he's a really good defender.
35:52
He's getting those, you know, the Steel numbers pretty consistently. But
35:54
it's definitely not something that you want to bank on in terms of fantasy production.
36:00
But yeah, like you said, the point guard spot is not one
36:02
that I want to really spend down too much. On and you can't miss
36:07
on it. So Kean, He's been really good as a starter, not
36:10
that great as a fantasy fantasy scorer though, only averaging twenty point three points
36:15
in games as starter this season. So I didn't really mention him just because
36:17
I don't really have a ton of interests. I'd rather just find the money
36:20
to spend up at point guard and spend down at other positions. In terms
36:24
of MAX in this game, I probably would want to be like a max.
36:29
I think three is fine on the Toronto side, and then you could
36:34
probably do three on Sacramento side as well. But I'm probably gonna end up
36:37
with no more than two because I'm gonna have Max one Max one of Sabonis
36:43
Fox, and then I'd be okay if I had like Sibonis in Monk or
36:45
Fox and Monk or whatever one of those guys in Keigan Murray. Yeah,
36:52
so probably probably two on the Sacramento side, three on Toronto. Like it.
36:55
Jase Ken is gonna get the minutes, so you will. You can
36:58
play him with three seven. I mean, I don't think it's the worse
37:00
play, but he's gonna come with a little ownership too. I like TJ
37:04
a lot more for eight hundred more is where I go if I am punting
37:08
point guard. We'll keep it roll the next game on the slate. We
37:12
spent a lot of time on that game, but by far up the eight
37:15
games, that is the premier game of the slate. This game at APM
37:19
Eastern before the last three at ten eastern, Utah Jazz Rios, Utah Jazz
37:23
taking on OKC Thunder Rios Utah Jazz very big dogs fifteen and a half.
37:30
What kind of team are they sending out of here right now? Two thirty
37:34
two and a half total? I mean, man John Collins, questionable,
37:37
Market's out, Jordan Clarkson's out, Okay, see healthy? I mean talk
37:43
about point guard SGA. If this game somehow stays closed, I mean,
37:47
I guess I'll throw it to you on this because I don't have interest on
37:50
the Utah side. I guess maybe if John Collins were out like a Walker
37:53
Kessler at five to two, Hendricks five to one. I don't know if
37:58
you can talk me in to Keyante or Saxton as low home pieces. But
38:02
does SGA like can he get there in thirty minutes and be enough on this
38:07
late or at point guard again, you can't miss. Do you think you're
38:09
gonna need sixty or something from him? And then, yeah, Jaylen Williams
38:14
chat, I would know. I want to be Max one all of them,
38:17
but I don't know if your Jazz can keep this game close enough where
38:21
they get the last run. So what do you see it? How do
38:22
you see it going down? No, you spelled it up perfectly. I
38:25
pretty much echo the same things that you said about this game. I don't
38:30
think that the Jazz can keep it close. They're gonna be running out JV
38:35
roster tonight with I mean, I would expect Collins to probably miss this one
38:38
too. They've been pretty cautious with him lately, and obviously he's got injured
38:44
because he got absolutely demolished on the dunk by Anthony Edwards. But yeah,
38:49
I mean I would have interest in some of the really just the bigs in
38:52
this game on the Utah side of things, because we have seen Oks be
38:55
very bad against opposing centers this season, mainly because they're rebound is so bad.
39:00
So I could see Walker Kessler five to two putting up a pretty big
39:04
score if Collins were to miss, And then I mean, even over year
39:07
seven at three point four K would be I think he projected really well.
39:09
And if you're telling me, I'm split in center, minutes with a year
39:13
seven eighteen to twenty is all you need out of him. At three point
39:16
four k, that would be really good. So those are only two guys
39:20
that would remain in my playpool now if Colins were to miss, if he's
39:23
in not considering considering any of these guys. I mean, like Keonte George,
39:28
he's shown a really big ceiling at times. The shooting has not really
39:31
been there for him lately, minutes coming down a little bit. But okay,
39:35
see pretty big three point final the season, especially catching shoot guys,
39:37
So I think that he makes a little bit of sense. But yeah,
39:40
it's the point guard position that you don't really want to can't whip on.
39:44
So I don't know if I'll take too many shots on Keyante and then okay,
39:47
see, I mean, yeah, this is a great spot for SGA,
39:50
great spot for Jalen Williams, especially those two. With the Jazz just
39:53
being the dead last in transition defense. I believe they're dead last in defensive
39:59
rating this month, really given up a ton of three pointers as of late.
40:01
But yeah, I just I don't know if we're not getting if I'm
40:06
not getting thirty five to thirty six minutes at SCA, I think that he
40:08
could score really well. Probably is like a lock for fifty to fifty three,
40:14
but ten point four K the punt guard spot is very good tonight,
40:19
So I don't think that I'll have too much of him, as much as
40:23
I love the matchup, as much as I think that he has a really
40:25
good game, you just can't whip. And he's only averaging forty nine point
40:29
three points in three games against Utah. It's not because he hasn't played well,
40:31
it's just the minutes haven't really been been there for him because they just
40:35
the Jazz can't keep it close. But I think that Jenley Williams much less
40:39
opportunity cost for him at power forward, and his usage just look really good.
40:44
He's kind of commanding the second unit at times, they staggering him away
40:46
from SJA in the second quarter, and that's really helped him from a fantasy
40:52
perspective. Transition scoring is really good for him. He's second on the team
40:54
in transition scoring behind SCA. Bo I mentioned is third in the league and
40:59
transition scoring this season I think I would prefer to get down to Jilly Williams
41:04
at six point nine K rather than spinning up at ten point four k.
41:07
Only point guard eligible for SJA and then yeah Max one of all the big
41:12
three for them. Don't really have a strong lean on Chet. I think
41:15
that he's fine. Seven point two K is a good price seging for him,
41:20
but don't only have a strong take. Yeah we're I mean, I
41:23
agree. I don't even love Dame today. Don't like Dame too much,
41:27
especially ownership, but I prefer Dame over SGA. Prefers some bonus there.
41:31
I don't see myself getting there. I didn't look at Joan Williams too,
41:35
but it's like man like he's been getting thirty five minutes, Like I know
41:38
he's getting thirty five minutes. I love him in this spot. If you
41:42
go twenty eight twenty seven minutes, he can get there. But the risk
41:45
reward on this eight game slates. People are putting up big scores today,
41:49
like you need a lot of flames to be shipping fifteen and a half.
41:52
I mean, this game could get away early. He would be my favorite.
41:55
Though Jake does like Chet. I guess I wouldn't mind if I landed
42:00
on Chet or something like that. Center is not that great, but not
42:04
a game I want too much of. Walker Kessler would be my favorite,
42:06
assuming John Collins does miss. We got three games left on the slate,
42:10
all three of these at ten pm Eastern. Yeah, we'll shout out that
42:15
you're at seven. Call though, because no one, I mean he will
42:17
be one percent on if that one hundred and twenty seven people watch him,
42:22
add a couple hundred on playback whatever, like even a court, not even
42:25
one percent of them will click that name because it feels gross, doesn't project
42:30
well. So yeah, that can win something, win someone a lot of
42:32
cheese. It's going on Danny to the conte. Yeah, awesome stuff.
42:37
Danny love to see that go ahead. I just want to touch on the
42:42
Jillian Williams thing really quick from a blow up perspective, because the way that
42:45
his rotation works, I think that he probably still sees low thirties, maybe
42:51
like thirty four, because he plays checks out about halfway through the first quarter,
42:58
plays most of the second quarter, and then same thing in the third,
43:01
checks out about halfway through, and then plays the full fourth in games
43:07
that are closed, So I mean you're still probably getting five to six minutes
43:10
out of him in the in the fourth quarter, regardless of the score.
43:13
So I think that he's kind of I think he's still pretty safe from him
43:15
at standpoint, Say less, then I like him. So you think they're
43:20
up twenty, they're up twenty or something, he'll be He'll still go in
43:23
close it out. Yeah, not close it but I think that I close.
43:27
They need to be up by like thirty for him to not play that
43:30
fourth quarter. Say less, I like him then for sure, Yeah,
43:35
sign me up. He's probably one of my favorite plays now on the slate.
43:37
If you're getting me that against the Utah, I mean no defense.
43:40
I really like Jim Williams so good shout on that. What's going on?
43:45
Mark three games left on the slide if you want this great infal like even
43:49
though when Rio isn't on the shows, of course not this weekend, he'll
43:52
be at the live final trying to win a million bucks, but he has
43:54
a sleigh plan very in depth. Upper tier, mid tier, lower tier,
43:58

44:01

44:23
dot com. Use that promo code MAYO get you ten percent off. Three
44:28
games left, three to zero. I mean we talked about the best games
44:30
on the slate, for sure. I'm not sure how long these will take
44:34
for me. Seventy six ers Phoenix Suns to start it off, two twenty
44:37
three total. These are all big boy spreads. I mean, this slates
44:42
is all pretty much big boy spreads. Outside of a Heat Cavs game,
44:46
Sun's nine point favorites, injury report, nothing on the Sun side Philly Tobias
44:52
is questionable. I'll throw it to you right away because all I have interest
44:55
in. Really, Jake mentioned earlier, is Tyrese Natzi really like MAXI too?
45:00
Eight point? Ak? I like him over Dame for ownership discount.
45:04
Ty Reese is there? Cade? I like McConnell like you're I mean no
45:07
where my point guards are falling into place signing me off for MAXI for sure,
45:12
do you think Tobias plays, because I'd still be fine to MAXI if
45:16
he does. I'd like him even more if he's out, So there's upside
45:20
there and he'll be pretty low owed I think, So, yeah, take
45:22
this game away, but it's just Naxi or bus really for me. Yeah,
45:27
Sobias Harris was president shoot around I believe was the wording they used,
45:30
so did not participate. That does not just because he was there does not
45:34
mean he's a lot to play. I think the warding definitely matters, so
45:37
if he if he missed, I don't really think that it matters too much
45:42
from for MAXI, uh, if he's in or out, because I think
45:45
the role is going to be the same for him. It more so just
45:46
brings in like Kelly Oubrey, but healed a little bit into play, which
45:52
I mean, you're probably getting a really low owned and I think that the
45:53
matchup doesn't seem that great on paper. But the Suns, I mean they
45:59
just gave up what at first have three pointers to the Bucks. Last game,
46:01
they have started to give up a really like a lot of three pointers
46:06
as of late outside of that game. So I think those guys make a
46:08
little bit of sense as like pivots off of you know, the Milik monks,
46:13
whoever is getting ownership in the low five k's if you're interested in Buddy
46:15
Heeled. But yeah, right now, it's just Max your bust for me.
46:19
I think that you laid it out really good. He's a really sharp
46:21
pivot off of all the chalk condensing around Tyres Halliburn, around Damian Lillard,
46:27
and the Sun's been a team to attack with opposing point guards all season long,
46:30
been very vulnerable to lead guards. They only have the greatest on ball
46:35
defenders. Grayson Allen is okay, but he's about as good as it gets.
46:38
So yeah, I like Max a lot here. Thirty thirty exactly thirty
46:43
points and three straight games, two rebounds away from a triple double last game,
46:45
so I think that he's a really strong option at eight point eight K.
46:51
And then all the Suns guys, I think you're kind of just playing
46:53
them to get contrained. I don't really see much from a matchup standpoint.
46:57
The Sixers defense been getting much better as of after struggling for a while,
47:00
especially around the rim, so I think that like KD and nine putting four
47:04
K is okay, But with a fully healthy team. Do I think that
47:07
he pays off that tag over a guy like Tatum over, you know,
47:12
spinning up for Sabonis or something like that. No, probably not same thing
47:15
with Booker, just a kind of a pivot around the point guards because he's
47:20
he's got point guard shooting guard, which is a little bit nice. But
47:22
I guess if you're like paying down for a TJ. McConnell or Kean Ellis
47:25
considered Devin Booker, but don't love anything about the match for him. Sixers,
47:30
I guess are kind of weaker with their on ball defense, so oh
47:34
shit. I Saar Thompson done for the season with the blood Clott not good
47:37
sketch. Damn Yeah that sucks. But yeah, Devin Booker, I think
47:45
he's Yeah. I don't have strongling on these guys. I think bill Is
47:49
is okay, he's playing really well lately. But I don't think you're paying
47:52
seven point two k over for bal over Milik Munk, who's got the same
47:55
upside, if not better upside. Same thing for Karris Lavert cheaper and probably
48:01
the same, if not better upsides. So yeah, these guys are just
48:04
concuring options for me. Don't have a lot of interest. Yeah, no,
48:07
I don't think it'd be crazy to use one of them, Max one
48:10
Chalky Bill. Do you throw one of them in? You hope they knew?
48:13
But Max, you really or buzz for me to these two questions quick.
48:17
I usually get crushed in the late night Hammer games three tonight. Any
48:21
recommendation how to roster guys at the early games don't pop regardless, I mean,
48:24
just these I will say, it's always slate dependent. These last three
48:28
games don't look really great on paper. I know most of my teams will
48:31
be built early, but yeah, I mean, if you know pretty much
48:36
if you have if you're saying if you have a lot of late spots for
48:38
your roster the early games, if they do really well and you know you
48:42
can't ship, you're just trying to hopefully min cash to just play what you
48:45
think a cash lineup, or if you have to make a pivot or two.
48:49
If all the games bust and you have a lot of spots open,
48:52
then yeah, you know where I mean, you know that that doesn't take
48:55
too many points to get to first place. You might not have to make
48:58
as many pivots. If all the trusted you have to know about ownership.
49:01
I mean, there's a lot of variables that go into that, but I
49:04
wouldn't really worry about Like I'm always in first place, and someone in the
49:07
Late Night Hammer always passes me, like, don't change your roster or build
49:12
like that to get late night Hammers, to force them in just because you
49:15
like having them. Like these last three games. I don't like these last
49:20
three games, so I'll have a lot of early games today and three.
49:22
I don't know if you saw this, but DKSE has participated Underdogs at Presidence
49:28
who knows in the world, but I also plays. We still like MAXI
49:31
though I think I trust Underdog a little bit more than DK reporters. So
49:36
I'm just gonna I'm gonna go with what Underdog said. But yeah, I
49:39
don't know, it really doesn't change too much. Like I don't think that
49:43
you're backloading for Tobias Harris News No, for sure, none of these games.
49:46
Next game, I'm the late I don't have really anything in this one.
49:50
Memphis Grizzlies Golden State Warriors two nineteen total Warriors eleven point favorites. Draymond's
49:55
questionable and Moses Moody's questionable for your Golden State side Memphis Santi Aldama questionable,
50:04
Luke Cannard out, Vince Williams doubtful. I guess my only interest really is
50:08
Trace Jackson Davis center four point nine K. Do you have a lean on
50:14
Draymond? Because I mean, I think Tray Jackson is still fine if he
50:17
comes off the bench, and if he did start for Draymond, I definitely
50:22
would like him. So yeah, I guess, really, Tray Jackson or
50:24
bus, what do you see? And do you have a leen on Draymond?
50:28
Uh? Not as strong a lean on Draymond. He's been playing through
50:30
the injuries, so if he really is, you know, if he has
50:34
banged up, then I think that a game against Memphis makes some sense.
50:37
But now the Great U, sorry Golden State, they need wins right now,
50:42
so they can't really afford to give guys the night off. So I'm
50:45
expecting to play. I'm expecting full minutes out of everybody that is listed healthy,
50:50
So yeah, I'm expecting him in. But yeah, if Tray Jackson
50:52
David or if Draymond's out, Trace Jackson Davis, who is already projecting as
50:58
a pretty solid value at four point nine K, it can only get better.
51:00
For him. So I don't think that you're running away to play tj
51:04
D if Draymond is ruled in because he looks pretty strong. He's got a
51:07
really good role off the bench regardless, probably gonna need his size and his
51:13
defense a little bit for Jeron Jackson Junior tonight. So yeah, I think
51:15
that he's pretty solid as a value option tonight. I think that Steph kind
51:21
of falls into the same bucket as like a pivot off of all that point
51:23
guard chalk in that same range. Because he's posted really good usage rates in
51:28
his return to the lineup. I don't think that he's really restricted it all.
51:31
From a minutes perspective. Played thirty four against LA, played thirty three
51:36
last game against the Knicks, I think that he makes some sense. I
51:39
haven't really seen the really big Steph nuke game, but we know that he's
51:43
still got that in him. Yeah, I mean, I always like Steph,
51:47
especially coming with low ownership and the Memphis Grizzlies. They were their interior
51:52
defense is back to being really good with Jaron Jackson down low, but with
51:57
that kind of comes with them being a little bit more of a three point
52:00
funnel style defense, So that kind of lines up perfectly for step So I
52:04
like him as a pivot as well to all those nine K point guard options.
52:09
The only guys that really of interest in on the Grizzly side of things.
52:13
I mean, alsoy, it doesn't Baine just because he's had a really
52:15
good role. The touch time has been up the last two games. Pretty
52:19
encouraging that he got up to thirty seven minutes last game. That was in
52:22
the overtime loss against Sacramento, but still thirty two regulation minutes for Bain,
52:27
who's leading the team in touch time over the last two games. A little
52:30
bit more upside for minutes as he gets healthier and healthier, so we've seen
52:35
him have really big ceilings at time, especially with a really shorthanded Grizzies team.
52:40
So I like Bain a little bit. I think JGJ is just okay.
52:44
Not a great matchup if Draymond's in, but if he misses, much
52:46
better matchup for him. The role has kind of remained the same, so
52:51
I don't have a strong lead. I think that he's just okay. And
52:52
then Gigi Jackson six K looking to get some ownership, I'd go okay getting
52:57
away from that just because he is young, and we see him. I
53:00
really struggle shoot at time, So I'm okay getting away from that. Really
53:04
just Bane and then Stephan TJ TJD in this game, Steph Alberton, MAXI
53:13
rank them. They're all on that ak or end Daing and Ding, they're
53:17
all on that nine to one to eight seven range. I guess we gotta
53:21
talk TuS Fox in there too, because he's nine K to me, it's
53:27
assuming you play. If you're playing Fox, that's knows about this because you
53:30
made that rule just so everyone out there nose. But yeah, toss him
53:32
in there. Yeah, for me, it would be Dame Tyrese, Fox,
53:39
Maxi Curry, Okay, yeah, man, man, it's tough for
53:43
sure. Yeah, ownership will probably go Dame. I don't know, Tyrese,
53:51
anthony'll go Dame and Tyres up there, and then Steph will be the
53:54
lowest. And then yeah, I guess there's just Maxie and and who's the
54:02
other one? I was just missing Fox? Those two will be there,
54:06
so yeah, it definitely will be Dame Tyrese Steff will be low. The
54:08
other two will be somewhat low too. Yeah, not much for me.
54:12
Tray Jackson Davis in this game, the game one, and Steph is just
54:15
so hurtful, but man like I like him at home too. The price
54:20
takes fair, the usage looks good the last two games like you can definitely
54:23
tell yourself a story on Steph. He falls out on the list for me
54:27
too, so I wouldn't mind getting one or something. I don't think I'll
54:30
be too exposed. I like tray Jackson though with Yeah, if Draymond misses,
54:35
he has even more upside. Not everyone will be able to get him.
54:38
And Bain's low owned. Hey, I'll take your shout on that.
54:40
He might be the Alex Crusoe for three thousand dollars more play, but I
54:45
like that ownership will be really low. What's going on? Beat a Bump
54:50
one game Locked on the slate, real great job. Last game Los Angeles
54:53
Clippers Portland Trailblazers. We have two sixteen total Clippers twelve and a half.
55:00
My favorites Norman Powell, Terrence Man questionable for the Clippers on the Portland side.
55:05
Yeah, before we came on, you mentioned it. Simon's midday down
55:07
grade, so he's now questionable. Bible's questionable, Jeremy Grant's doubtful, I
55:14
mean, man, if Simons is out, they're already without Jeremy Grant,
55:19
Banton, Scoots, they'll probably start aside each other like they did before.
55:22
You can tell me if you think I'm wrong. That's what happened last game
55:25
though. Five to four Salid Price Sake for Scoot, five to six for
55:30
Banton. I don't know, it's not a game. If I knew Simons
55:34
was in, it's not. I don't really want to get to the Portland
55:37
side much, but this midday down grade it'll be interesting. I still don't
55:40
think ownership goes crazy on any of these guys. And then yeah, you
55:44
gotta mention DeAndre Ayton, the what the air mattress narrative or whatever gets on
55:49
a real bed and the dude's hooping or what. H Yeah, so what's
55:53
going on in Lachlan? Yeah, take this last game away. Yeah,
55:58
I'll start with Aiden and then I'll break down the Simon stuff. But yeah,
56:00
Aiden just been absolutely crushing this month since he got on a real bed,
56:06
averaging twenty six point eight points, fifteen rebounds, one assist, playing
56:09
thirty eight minutes fifty point seven DK points in the month of March. The
56:15
matchup got a lot so softer versus the Clippers because they've really been struggling lately.
56:19
Clippers are bottom nine in defensive rating this month. They're giving up more
56:22
three pointers, but even their rim defense and their rebounding rates have been really
56:28
bad as of late. So I think Aiden is a really really strong option
56:30
eight point two K just kind of buying into the narrative that he's turned it
56:35
around. So yeah, I think that he's really strong, and I mean
56:38
the it can only get better for him as well if if An misses,
56:42
because And is a high usage guy, so more of the offense is going
56:45
to have to run through run through Aiden, And I actually think that they
56:49
have a good chance to keep the game close even with the spread indicating double
56:52
digits. I mean, the Clippers have been really struggling lately. They just
56:54
got beat by the Hawks, who are shorthanded as well, So I think
56:59
the Blazers have a okay chance to keep the game close even with how bad
57:01
their offense has been lately. But yeah, I mean the Simon stuff mid
57:06
day downgrade probably, I feel like we've been burned by him a couple times
57:10
this season where he gets mid day down grade and then plays but I mean,
57:15
man, you could really get paid off in a big way if you
57:17
if you buy into him missing tonight, because Ben has been a guy that's
57:21
just been I mean, he's been crushing lately in games where the team shorthand
57:25
to put it forty six against New Orleans in forty two minutes, put it
57:30
forty three against Toronto, fifty two against Houston. I just don't think there's
57:34
many guys in that range that have the same upside as him. So if
57:37
you really are buying into Simon's missing, you could you get paid off in
57:40
a big way for Ben. And I don't really think that Scoot is worth
57:45
too much of a look. If you want like thirty points at him,
57:47
that's fine, but he's just I think he's one of the worst shooters in
57:51
the league right now. I'm not even saying that as like an opinion.
57:53
I think that's like actually fact based. Yeah, so those like Siamons was
57:59
out, he had a thirty six percent US his last game twenty twenty eight,
58:02
twenty seven twenty Like what about him in that range with Banton? Like
58:07
or you already talk about Bannon obviously, but they're right in that same range.
58:09
Compare him to I guess who else is on the slates, Scoots just
58:16
point guard Elge. Well, I'm not even gonna talk to you into him.
58:19
There's so many good ones. Yeah, shooting guard, which is nice
58:22
too. Yeah, so exactly. I will say, though, man,
58:25
I even if Simon's plays, I think Banton's fine. I even think Scoot's
58:29
fine. Like, I know you don't like him. I don't think he's
58:31
the craziest play. But yeah, I'm I like these guys, I mean,
58:37
especially Banton, but I'll I'll probably be having at least him in one
58:42
team maybe too, because if Simon's is in, he's not the worst play.
58:45
You don't love him in this spot, but plenty of these other guys
58:49
can bust. And if he's out, like you said, the upside's there.
58:51
The ownership can't be as much because people an't gonna have roster spots open.
58:54
Really in these last three, I already like eight and you think it
58:58
could stay close? Yeah, I mean, I'm just talking out loud,
59:00
but yeah, I mean it's lined it up. I like Portland. Well,
59:04
actually so I Simons was gonna make the slave plan. I actually liked
59:08
him tonight, just because the usage has been good for him, and it's
59:12
a good spot for three point shooters. But if you're telling me that role
59:15
is being vacated and it's just being absorbed by Ben, who is what two
59:20
k cheaper I think you have to have. I mean he's gonna project like
59:23
one of the best values. He you can put him at like thirty two
59:27
thirty four in your projections and then just get more of him. And there's
59:32
probably enough pivots around him to make it work as well. Maybe not if
59:37
you only have him shooting guard, but I mean he's you know, mid
59:39
five k's if you just look in the utail spot the last three games,
59:44
like who do we have in the range? You got g Jackson was not
59:46
the worst play like pods is not not the worst same eligibility If you're just
59:53
talking utail then like Zubac, I think in a good matchup is fine wiggin
1:00:00
conchar is cheaper if he needed a two v two as guard ford eligibility.
1:00:06
Yeah, So like there there's ways to make it work where you're not you're
1:00:08
not what's the word, like, you're not just like left left out to
1:00:15
have him. Yeah, because there's a lot there's three games in the late
1:00:16
slide, so you can you could definitely make it work. Yeah, I
1:00:20
don't even again, I don't even think he's the craziest play even Yeah.
1:00:24
Yeah, I mean, if it didn't work out, you're not You're not
1:00:28
dead. It's pretty much what I'm saying. It's still going to get he's
1:00:30
still gonna be on the floor, and he's still going to be very involved
1:00:34
like he usually is. I mean, back to the Toronto days, anytime
1:00:36
he got minutes or they were short, he puts he puts up big scores.
1:00:39
He's over. Yeah, but anything else in this one, uh no,
1:00:44
just touching the clipper side. I think I'd be a Max one of
1:00:45
the Big three, and Paul George would be my favorite. The ball handing
1:00:50
role has been really good for him, kind of trying to get him more
1:00:52
acclimated to being this the lead guy in the playoffs. I think that he's
1:00:58
in a pretty good spot here tonight. So I like him the And I
1:01:00
don't think Zubuck is the worst play at five point five K. Good matchup
1:01:02
Portland, one of the worst room defenses, worst one of the worst teams
1:01:07
in DVP wise versus centers. So I like those two guys a little bit.
1:01:10
Yeah, I mean if you have them in the util and Banton or
1:01:14
if Simons is in, you can just go Zubach if you feel a little
1:01:16
better with it. But again I still think they're relatively close. Yeah,
1:01:22
great stuff. Not much more to add. I do like eight and a
1:01:23
lot and assignment stuff mainly Banton. I like Scoot a little more than you.
1:01:28
But with how good point guard is. And yeah, I guess how
1:01:30
like Naxie and Steph in the Lake Game at point guard two. So if
1:01:34
I had a couple like two V twos or something, I wouldn't be surprised
1:01:37
if I dropped down to Scoot. But yeah, I mean great breakdown for
1:01:40
sure. Sacramento Toronto a broad state overview to wrap it up, all the
1:01:45
ownerships going to Sacramento Toronto talked about a lot of good point guard plays,
1:01:49
mainly in that nine what like Dane, Fox, Steph Maxi. Ownership in
1:01:55
the point guard range relatively spread out. Kid's gonna get some ownership, Tyresee
1:02:00
is gonna get some, Dame's gonna get some. I think the pivots are
1:02:02
the steps are the Maxis. Sa Bona's gonna be one of the most popular
1:02:07
spends. Yeah, I mean mainly just keep coming back to that Toronto Sacramento
1:02:12
game and a bunch of Q tags out there, like we think Boston and
1:02:15
Jallen Brown and stuff played. But if all of them are ruled out on
1:02:17
Boston, the whole slate changes with Tatum with some value there, et cetera.
1:02:22
So projections updated throughout the night are content. Any changes will be in
1:02:27
yellow, of course. And yeah, use that promo code right here.
1:02:30
Use that promo code. Mayo get you ten percent off any package. PGA
1:02:35
locks tomorrow morning, MMA, this weekend, NASCAR, MLB in nine days,
1:02:42
NHL, so many sports, trying to trying to count on my fingers,
1:02:45
how many we got? Real findal words for the people before you get
1:02:49
on out of your slate plan already up at chippinnation dot com. If you
1:02:53
mean because the flag is vertical and not horizontal, the only reason it is
1:02:58
because this thing is like twelve feet long and there's just not a room on
1:03:00
my wall for it to be vertical. If you mean because it's backwards,
1:03:05
it's because the camera is mirrored. So don't blame me for having it the
1:03:08
way that it is. But that's what I was. I was trying to
1:03:12
read that comment when I was doing the breakdown because I but, yeah,
1:03:15
that was too much for me going on. But I don't know what he
1:03:17
don't worry, man, it's all right, I promise, doesn't mean any
1:03:21
disrespect. No love love America, Yeah, no, I USA, baby.
1:03:29
Yeah, I don't have much to say. I think that we let
1:03:30
it up pretty good. Tons of pivots in the point guard range, so
1:03:35
you gotta really pick and choose which one you want to play tonight. I
1:03:38
still don't know right now what I'm going to do in my main team.
1:03:40
Definitely gonna be played one of those five guys that we mentioned, and probably
1:03:44
one of Sabonis. So if it's Sabonis, then definitely not Fox, and
1:03:47
that makes the decision a little bit easier for me. But yeah, still
1:03:51
still a lot of time to figure it out. Still a lot of stuff
1:03:52
can change in the slate. I mean, this is definitely a slate.
1:03:54
You got to be by your computer for sure for the first hour, and
1:03:58
then you can take you know, take a low break hour and half breako,
1:04:01
get some food, go for a walk, whatever, and then be
1:04:03
back for the seven pm games, ten pm games. Eastern, but yeah,
1:04:09
all around good stuff and then I'll catch all you guys next Tuesday.
1:04:13
No quick hit for me this weekend, no live show for me on Friday.
1:04:16
So you've got the guy's Naids and handwhich taken over for me. Absolutely
1:04:21
yeah, like you didn't mention it does great breakdown an hour window like we
1:04:25
mentioned earlier, and you have two hours off come back for the three games
1:04:30
FanDuel and DraftKings, all eight pm Eastern. My player pulls like fifty players.
1:04:33
Yeah, I mean it's definitely one eight games. It's a lot of
1:04:36
good plays around, so I don't feel like I feel like that's a solid
1:04:40
number. We appreciate those words, nat hit that like on the way out.
1:04:44
We do appreciate it. And good luck to you this week in Rio.
1:04:46
He's gonna be off for the weekend. Don't be blowing off his phone.
1:04:49
Today's last day grinding. Tomorrow we'll have the sleigh playing up. Changes
1:04:54
will be made by all of us again. Naids, ham myself, all
1:04:58
the guys, Hooped Tamba. I'll be helping out in the NBA streets.
1:05:00
Good luck this weekend, man, good luck to everyone else out there watching
1:05:04

1:05:09
him. Be safe, have a good night,
