NBA DFS Process | October 21, 2026 | DraftKings & FanDuel Picks, Plays & Slate Breakdown · Daily Fantasy Sports by Ship It Nation

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: All systems go.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Clear for liftoff. What is going on, everybody? Happy Wednesday.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: We are back talking some hoops with my man Rio.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: 11 games on tap. You go from three yesterday to
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: 11 today. Huge difference. FanDuel and DraftKings both decided to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: include all of the games tonight. So you got 7 p.m.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Eastern all the way to 10.30 Eastern. Yeah, you're in
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: for the long haul if you're going to be playing
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: this NBA slate tonight. I do think it's a greater
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: edge when they do that. Obviously, a lot more work
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: when they do that as well, though. It's the second
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: day of the NBA first game for these teams, so
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the injury news isn't too bad, but you never know
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: in the NBA. Riel, I'll throw it to you. How
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: are you doing today? What are your thoughts on the slate?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I'm doing good.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, slate looks fun.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: We've got to definitely take advantage of these slates when
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: we have them because I feel like the longer the
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: season goes on, the more they're going to make the
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: slate shorter, like with those one-hour windows or maybe two
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: hours if we're lucky. So I'm definitely going to be
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: firing away tonight on this one because I think that
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: There's a little bit of injury news at the end.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Denny Avdija, that's basically it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I think if we had more slates like this, it
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: would probably be bigger injury news late that you'd have
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: to wait on. I don't necessarily know if that is
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: going to be tonight. But Denny is a pretty big name,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: so I definitely want to monitor that news. Do got
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: to shout out our guy Roll Tide. Last night got
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: second place in the $ 20.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: For 50K, so shout out to him.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know what his username is in our Discord,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: but he had a really, really good team over there.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you beat me to it. I was going to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: shout out him as well. So shout out Roll Tide,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: second place, 50 Gs. Always great to see you. What's up, Sean, Jordan,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I am Rice, Nate B, JP, Jason Turner, Parabai, Winsalot,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: could be Travis, Scooter, JP, Warren, Kin Linen, Scooter again.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Great to see everybody. Hope you're having a great day.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: We got no time to waste. Loving games in the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: NBA is going to require a lot of work. Any
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: broad slate overview, anything you want to mention? Do you
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: think these– Guys are too underpriced just relative to– do
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you think most players are underpriced on DraftKings and allows
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: you to build pretty balanced slash lineups you feel really
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: good about? Or do you think pricing is pretty efficient?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Because yesterday it was clearly underpriced for the majority of players.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say there's some spots that are appropriately
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: priced that we'll get to. But for the most part,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: it does seem like a lot of the spots are underpriced.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: A lot of changes in roles that we'll talk through
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: as we go game by game. But yeah, kind of
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: the same thing as last night. I still see a
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: slate where I want to kind of jam in mid-tier
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: and like plays that I feel confident in. But there
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: are a handful of guys going through some of these
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: teams that have some pretty solid values, sub 5K and
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: even some of the 3K range. So I think that
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: there are, there's a case to be made for stars
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: and scrubs. You got Giannis and Luka tonight, no Jokic,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: but two really, two guys with a ton of upside.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: But point guard position looks really strong. Small forward has
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: some pretty good options. And then center has a couple
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: of guys and like, that dead zone range that I
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: really like.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I like it. Good initial breakdown, as you can see,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: just sorting by salary. Luka, Giannis, and then only one
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: other player, Cooper Flagg, is the next highest price at $ 9, 200.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So that will lead to Giannis being pretty popular, probably
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the most popular spend on this slate. We're going game
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: by game, though. We're going to kick it off with
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the first game. How fitting. My Milwaukee Bucks taking on
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the Washington Wizards. Pretty solid total in this game, sitting
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: at 238.5, 4.5-point favorites are the Wizards. Just going to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: sort by point per dollar, obviously, on the Bucs side.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Whole new team without a– I mean, you might as
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: well just call it the Heat squad. I mean, Jaquez,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Kahlil Ware, Kasperis down here, and who did I miss?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I said– oh, Tyler Hero, of course. Coming over to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the Bucs without Giannis. It'll be a new-look Bucs team.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: They waived KPJ, which says they're definitely confident in the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: backcourt of Rollins, of Hero. They might like Kasperis a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: little more than I initially thought. got berries as well.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: They drafted from, from Arizona, but yeah, new look bucks
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: team taking on the wizard. So I think some more
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: appealing option probably in terms of DFS on the slate,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: AD at 76, Trey young at 7,800, two guys that
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: seem a little underpriced on this slate, but I'll let
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: you take it away. First game.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this game is definitely appealing to kick things off.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Third highest over under on the slate.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Sweeping changes made across the rosters for both teams here.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Be the first time we see Trey young and Anthony
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Davis in the regular season. Definitely prefer the Wizards side
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: of this game a little bit more. I think that
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: they could have a really potent offense this year. We
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: know how good AD can be when he's healthy. That's
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: just a matter of him staying healthy. Trae Young is
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: a guy that has supplied some pretty good offenses in
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the past, and he has probably more offensive firepower than
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: he's ever had in his career, I would say. There
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: are some question marks around the youth of these guys,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: but we know DeBansa is really good. Won't be playing tonight,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: so that definitely hurts. But Keyshawn George is a guy
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: that they're expecting to step up. in a big way here.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Alex Sorrow was great last year. So like guys like
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Kula Bali, Trey Johnson, uh, Bob Carrington. So I'm liking
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: what I'm seeing from Washington for sure. Um, as for
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: DFS goes on the Milwaukee side, really only two guys
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: in consideration for me.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And that's going to be the guards, Tyler Hero and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Ryan Rollins.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: And if I'm choosing one, I would definitely lead with
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Ryan Rollins here.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: He's had a pretty solid role in the preseason. Hero
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was good too.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: He definitely was leading the team in usage, but, He's
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: going to have a much tougher matchup. I think it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: going to be one of Keyshawn George or Kula Bali
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: on Tyler Hero tonight, and they might have to put
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Trae Young and Ryan Rollins. It's definitely a matchup we've
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: loved to attack in the past, so I'm definitely excited
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: about getting to some.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Ryan Rollins here at 6.3K.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I think it's a really good price tag in comparison
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: to what we saw from him last year.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: That's it, though.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I want to wait and see how good or bad
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: this team is going to be. Never really have interest
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: in Myles Turner.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Kuzma, he's probably... the worst player in the league now.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just an absolute joke.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: And Hawkeyes, I think he'll have a pretty solid role,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: but probably very similar to what we saw from him
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: in Miami. And then Ware, too expensive. He's going to
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: be split in time with Miles Turner. The Washington side,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: like I said, much more appealing. Trey Young at 7.8K,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I think is a really good starting point on the slate.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: He had really good assist numbers in the preseason, which
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: we would have expected from him, but there's a really
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: high likelihood that he leads the NBA and assists the season.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: He averaged 11.2 per 36 in the preseason, so those
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: numbers definitely held true. I definitely think that he looks
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: good here, but I think I like Anthony Davis a
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: little bit more at 7.6K. A healthy AD with a
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: pass for his point guard, definitely something I'm going to
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: be interested in. Got plenty of spacing on the court
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: as well with Saar, Keyshawn George, Kulibaly able to just
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: give him open looks around the rim, and Miles Turner
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: is not the same defender that he was in the
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: years past. I never really thought he was that great
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: of a defender, but a guy that could get some
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: good shot blocks at times. He's a terrible rebounder, so
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of upside for a guy
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: like Anthony Davis tonight. Definitely want to be overweight, his
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: projected ownership, which looks fairly high right now, but I
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: think it's worth getting to. And then below him, probably
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: not the spot for Alex Saar. I just think there's
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: some better center options and going to be playing second
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: field to ADE. probably losing some rebounding stuff as well.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: His numbers in the preseason weren't that great. Definitely like
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: him as a talent, but not going to go there tonight.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: And then I see Sabre had a pretty high ownership
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: projection on Bilal Koulibaly.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: 10% right now. Actually, I'm taking our average, so maybe I... Yeah,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: 11% they got.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's kind of high, a little bit higher
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: than I would expect for him. If I'm going cheap,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I want to go to Keyshawn George.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Just a lot of good things about him in the preseason,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: a guy that can kind of deliver in all categories.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: And he was great in the preseason, shot it really well.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: He averaged 23, five and four and over four stocks
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: per 36 minutes. And they're really high on him. So
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I think that he's pretty good at 5.5 K. I
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: don't think anybody's going to be clicking that name. I
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: haven't projected a little bit higher, a lot higher than.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: What Saverson has.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, I'm in on him and then
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: probably not the spot to go to a guy like
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Trey Johnson or anybody on the bench really. fine with Koulibaly,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: but just his usage role is not good. So you're
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: kind of betting on efficient shooting when he does shoot
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: the ball. And then like a, a lot of rebounds
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: and stocks. I don't think that he's going to really
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: add a ton anywhere else.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I mean, on an 11 game slate like this,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: especially lock, it doesn't matter, I guess, as much locking
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: yourself into the first game versus the last, cause the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: injury news, but you still have more information, whether chalk bus,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: this and that. So I don't think I really need
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to get to these thin pieces and, I will say
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the Wizards, though, definitely– we talked about it, I think,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: last week or something. But looking out for them to
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: make a run toward the end of the year to
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: get in the postseason. I mean, they got DeAndre 8-2. Obviously,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: AD staying healthy is always questionable. But, man, they're deep
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: with a lot of young guard talent, wing talent as well.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: So I'm excited to see what this team can do. DFS-wise, though,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: you mentioned Keyshawn George. Other than that, though, Trey Young, AD,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: that's about it. We did have a question– from AFC
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: if Trae Young and AD correlate. For Saberson, if you
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: click Anthony Davis or any name, you can see the
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: correlation positive or negative. Trae Young does positively correlate a
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: little bit, which should make sense, obviously, with pick and
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: roll lob stuff. Could see plenty of assists. Trey Young
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: right to Anthony Davis. Buckside, yeah, definitely a little tougher
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: for me, though. The two that I probably would have
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: some interest in is just Hero and Ryan Rollins. More
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: likely a max one. Hero is very efficient, and I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: think this is his last preseason game, like 24 minutes,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: like 25 points. He's going to get his, and he
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: can always get hot. So don't mind these two, but
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: hard to get to any of the secondary pieces for me.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Let's move on to the next game on the slate.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Another solid one in terms of solid total, 233.5, only
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: two and a half point favorites are the Magic. Looking
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: at ownership in this game, only Jalen Suggs and Franz
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Wagner are looking to get some. 6,900 for Franz is
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: just way too cheap in my opinion. That's why you're
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: almost forced to get to middling builds, really, since there's
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: only two players, 10K and above. But even if there
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: were more that were above on the slate, these guys
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: look way underpriced. And then I can argue Jalen Johnson, 15%.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I thought he was going to come in a little
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: lower than that. I think people will rather go AD,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: will rather go Giannis. Maybe it does get there, though. But,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, anytime Jalen Johnson's somewhat low-owned, 9K price tag,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I think him and Franz, or if you want to
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: go Suggs or whatever, is a very solid skinny stack
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: in the NBA terms. You don't need that at all
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: for DFS. But on a big slate to help narrow
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: your roster construction, especially if hand-building– I do think picking
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: a stud on one or two studs in one game,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: one on each side is a pretty easy way to
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: correlate a little bit. And then if you get to
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: the OT or something, you only get boosted. So again,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: it's hard for me to go to too many of
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: these secondary plays though. I am Franz over Paulo today.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: What do you see in this game? Yeah, I agree
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: with you on that Franz over Paulo for sure. I
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: think just kind of season long, he's going to probably
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: outperform Paulo. But because the Orlando made a lot of changes.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I have a new coach now, Sean Sweeney and, they
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: really made a point of emphasis to get Franz the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: ball as like their lead handler and their lead playmaker
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: in the preseason. Obviously the sample size is kind of small,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: but you can still expect something similar, but he had
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: a 44% assist percentage in the preseason. Paulo was first
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: in usage, but they're looking to get him more just
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: going as like an offensive weapon. Whereas he was more
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: asked to be like the point forward at times. And
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I think that's going to be a lot.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Of Franz now.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: And you saw Jillian Suggs kind of just standing in
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: the corner at times and really saw a decrease in
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: his role. So I'm really high on Franz here at 6.9 K.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I think there are some really good small forward options
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: in that same range that we'll talk about, but I
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: think that he's the clearly best option in this game.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I just don't know if Hawks games are going to
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: provide the same types of fireworks that we saw from
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: them in the past, because they were a very fast
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: team that wasn't great on defense, but you saw them
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: really turn it around in the second half last year.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: And they were one of the best. They might've been
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: first in, defensive rating in the second half last year.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: I'm not really sure what changed because they got worse,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I would say, in the starting unit.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: C.J.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: McCollum's not really known to be a defensive stopper, but
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: you still have guys like Dyson Daniels, Nikhil Alexander-Walker, Jalen Johnson, Okonwu,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: all pretty solid defensive players. I think they just played
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: really good team defense. And they kind of were middling
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: of the pack in preseason pace.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to argue that Vegas, you know, They
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: think this game is going to be a little bit
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: higher scoring, but I could see it playing to the under.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: How that translates for fantasy options on the hog side.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not super high on anybody here in particular. I
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: think that the price is right on this team. This
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: is about where we saw them all last year. Maybe
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: CJ was a little bit higher, but Dyson, Nick Alexander
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Walker were steadily in that 6K range. Jalen Johnson in
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: that 9K range most of last year. I just think
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: that there's better options below him and above him. At
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: power forward, obviously Giannis is the only guy that's above
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: him at power forward. And then I think there's some
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: really good power forward options below him, like AD from
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: the game before. So I'll be a little bit under
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: on the Hawks' side tonight.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: You think that could? That's why I don't believe that 15%.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: What if I tell you it's 8% or 7%? Especially
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: with it being the first game on the slate with
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: only two locking at 7%. I think we're pretty hot
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: in terms of ownership. If I told you 8% when
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the cards were turned over, would that change anything or
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: still not? Not really.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I'd probably still end up around the field then if
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: it's at 8%. But yeah, I still just think that
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: those guys in a vacuum are much better plays. And
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: NBA is a very projectable sport. Those guys are going
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: to project a lot better from a point-for-dollar basis. Yeah,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: like I said, though, on the Orlando side, love Franz here.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Don't really like Paulo as much just with the decreased
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: ball handling and playmaking role. With all that going to Franz,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I think Franz is just a much better option here.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Suggs is appealing because he's so cheap and he doesn't
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: necessarily need the ball in his hands to score fantasy
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: points because he can do so much with steals and
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: blocks and then any scoring and assist and rebounding that
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: he has on top of that is just extra. But
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: that's probably it for me. Bane, I don't know, not
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: the most appealing option. I honestly like the guards in
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: Portland that are priced right there over him because they're
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: just going to have a much better role. Bane's probably
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: the third option and in Portland. We'll, we'll get to
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: them when we get to them, but they just have
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: better roles. I'm not really that high on Bain here.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: It's mainly just Franz. Yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: This is a slate today. We're used like back in
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: the day. We, I saw it. There's a five X threshold.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Can your guys get five X their salary and you're
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: happy to win GPPs today? I think you, you should
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: be shooting for at least six X and even 6.5,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: seven X that you could see, obviously the studs, you
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: don't need Giannis to get seven X and get 70.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: But when you're talking some of these mid tier, even
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Desmond Bain at six, four, In that 5K to 6K range,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: it's so loaded today. And in my opinion, so many
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: underpriced players where I'd be shooting for at least 6X,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: 7X that you can visualize your guys getting there. So
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: that does limit my interest a little bit in Suggs,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: especially if he comes in at this ownership. First thing
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: you said was he was standing in the corner more.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I don't need that. Franz, looks like an elite play
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: for me. I have a little more interest in Jalen
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Johnson to you, but not my favorite game.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Let's get to another one.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Also, so one thing just for like for pivots below 5K,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Tristan De Silva was getting talked up a ton in
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: the preseason. And their head coach basically said that they
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: are fine with him taking 10, like.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Minimum 10 threes a game.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: He was just taking it like firing away from three
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: in the preseason, high usage rate and was making a ton.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: So if that actually holds true and he's going to
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: be coming off the bench, but if he's playing like
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: 25 minutes and just launching every time he gets the ball,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: like it's hard to not have interest in the guy
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: at 4.3K that does that.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: You think he gets to 25 minutes?
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Not to see where we have him at, but I
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: think that's.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Faber's got him at 23. He topped out at 25
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: in the preseason. 25, 23, 21. Mid to low 20s.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 23 probably feels good. 25 would be the highest.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: A Grayson Allen pivot when we get to some of these.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of the value, Charlotte, so don't mind
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: that one bit. All right, let's get to, in my opinion,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: not too much or not a game I have much
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: interest for DFS, the Raptors. And the Bulls, big favorite
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: to the Raptors, 10.5, 237.5 total in this one. I
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: think the Bulls side is an easy X out. I
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: don't know who I'd click. Jalen Smith maybe. I guess
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: at 5K he's projecting the best. Good point per minute guy. But, yeah,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: he's just center eligible. That's all I got there. Toronto,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: my sneak. They're not sneaky, but that's who I picked yesterday.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: You picked the Timberwolves. I picked the Raptors. The problem
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: with these guys for DFS when they're fully healthy is
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: like they all are going to have a role. Scottie, Barrett,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: now you got Kawhi in the mix. It's a team
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: that I think is very solid, but when it comes
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: to DFS, I'll be more interested when someone gets injured
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: or sitting out versus when they're fully healthy. So I'll
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: let you talk about this one. Tougher for me to get.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: To this game.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd agree with you there. I think the Bulls
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: are a fairly easy max one situation. Like there's an
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: outside shot that somebody on this team does enough. It'd
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: probably be Norm Powell or Jalen Smith, if I had
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: to guess. I mean, Saberson is really high on Jalen
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Smith here, and I kind of disagree there. This Leonard
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Miller guy that was, you know, at times pretty like
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: a guy that had a role last year and the
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: guy that we were playing in DFS at times, he
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: had a really good preseason. They might want to get
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: a longer look at him. This game does have a
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: chance to go smaller as well because behind Yaka Pirtle
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: is Colin Murray-Boyles, who's only 6'7, so they don't necessarily
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: need to go big with Jalen Smith out there if
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: they don't want to. So I would probably end up
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: under on Smith at 5K.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I think there's a couple.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I know for sure there's one better option that's cheaper
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: than him at center that I'm going to be going
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: to in the later game. So I'll be underway to
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: him for sure. But Norm is kind of interesting because
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: he's got that dual positional eligibility.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: He's probably going to be.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: The number one scoring option on offense most nights for
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: this Bulls team. Cheap enough where like a 25 to
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: 28 point game from him could pay off his tag
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: because he's not really going to add much peripheral stats,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: if any at all. Because you've got guys like Giddey
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: they're going to handle. Caleb Wilson's going to be a
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: guy that they run the offense through at times.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: 7K.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: They already got him above Franz.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: What are we doing? Super aggressive on these rookies. Basically,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: everybody's in that 7K range minus Darren Peterson. Then Kampuser's 7.1K.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: People are asking about it. At these prices, I couldn't
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: imagine playing these guys over guys like Franz, who we
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: just talked about that. I mean, you know what you're
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: getting from there. So yeah, that's all I got. I,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: it's a note for me, but if you play a
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: bunch of teams, he's going to be really low on
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: people love it, but you got to do something at
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: seven K give me 42 plus.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I think you probably wait for a better, an easier
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: opponent than the Raptors because they are going to have
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: a really good defense this year. And seven K, like
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: you said, that's a real price tag. There's also some
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: talk about potentially easing him in early on the season.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, they don't want to, put too much on
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: his plate early and like match up against Kawhi and
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Scotty Barnes. I think that's a kind of a clear
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: stay away spot for me. But yeah, on the Raptors side,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Kawhi does look way too cheap at 7.4 K, but
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: same thing for him. Like they're not going to push
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: his minutes up in a game against the bulls where
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: they're probably going to win pretty easily. And like, what
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: does a 30 to 32 minute game from him look
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: like if he goes for like 45, 48, I would
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: not be surprised, but I don't know if that's necessarily
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: going to be enough on the slate. So I think
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: there's a case to be made to get away from him.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: I do think that like Franz and Brandon Miller and
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: games that are going to be way closer and they're
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: going to have the ball in their hands a lot
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: more than Kawhi will are kind of interesting to pivot
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: away from him. They are going to be highly owned,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: but I just kind of think that their high end
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: outcomes are a little bit more appealing to for me
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: than Kawhi's is, but could definitely be wrong. I was
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: wrong a lot yesterday. So I am not too sure there,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: but it does sound like they're going to be running
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: the offense through Scottie Barnes a little bit more this season.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: He was kind of all over the place in the preseason,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: 27% usage rate, 24% assist percentage, 4% rebounding. So yeah,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: that looks like a pretty good role for a guy
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: at 8.3 K. I think I want to get into
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: some of Scottie Barnes over Kawhi here. And then everybody
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: else is kind of just a fringe option. Like, could
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: make the case for manu quickly i think he's going
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: to get a ton of open looks just with the
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: gravity that kawaii and scotty barnes create for him uh
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: same could be said for rj baird but i really
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: think that he's going to be like the.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Fourth option at times and then don't think i'll go.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: To cmb or yaka fertile just yet.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Agree uh not much more to add in this one
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: and yeah i have the same take on kawaii he
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: looks too cheap but again so many do and i'm
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: worried at 10 and a half point favorites and it Kawhi,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: you never know with him. He can always defer, and
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: there's plenty of options for him to defer on this team,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: especially game one. So I do just worry a little
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: more about his true ceiling. I think he has to
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: be very efficient and the game environment be close enough
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: and stay close enough for most of the game. So
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I just prefer others. But yeah, by no means is
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: he a bad play, as you can see. Coming with ownership, though,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: so trying to make a case against some of these
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: highly owned plays. Tough to do. Interested to see if
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: you're going to make a case against some of this
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: chalk in this next game. Hornets, one at-point favorites. Over
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: the Nets, very low total, though. I believe the lowest
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: on the slate, yeah, 219 and a half is way
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: down there. But as you guys know, or many know,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: if you're new to NBA DFS, I mentioned spreads and totals. Spreads,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: closer the better because your studs are probably going to play. Total,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: the faster pace, more possessions on average. You like that,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: but it all comes down to salary, point per dollar.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: These guys are just mispriced. No LaMelo. They're priced like
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: LaMelo still there. DraftKings asleep at the wheel with these guys,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: but not the rookies. But yeah, Brooklyn side looks really
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: difficult to play. Um, and ownership will also show that
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: you can always play MPJ. I mean, at 3%, the
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: dude always chucks. So I'm fine with him. Um, but
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: on the, on the Charlotte side, this is the main stuff.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Dennis Schroeder going to start at point guard 3,700. You
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: can see he'll be one of the chalkiest, if not
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the chalkiest on the slate. Um, Yeah, I think he
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: actually will be the chalkiest on the slate.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: You agree, Rio? Yeah, it seems that way.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: And then Grayson Allen looks good. Royce O'Neal, Brandon Miller.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: You're going to get some Charlotte ownership for sure. They
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: all seemed underpriced. Take it away. I guess any rules
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: you would make, any that you don't like as much
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: as the field. And then, yeah, Brooklyn side is pretty easy,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think I would get too strict with
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: the rules here on the Charlotte side, but probably just
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: limiting how much. exposure I have to this team as
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: a whole because like you said this game does have
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: the lowest over under on the slate so there's going
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: to be less scoring opportunities guys can get there with
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: rebounds and steals and things like that but you mainly
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: want your guy to be scoring the ball and there's
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: just not going to be a ton of scoring in
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: this game but I do agree with the ownership on
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Schroeder and Grayson Allen just way too cheap like you
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: said at 3.7 4.3k I guess if there was holes
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: to poke in their matchup which there definitely is like
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: the Nets are going to do a lot of what
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: they did last year, which was run guys off the
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: three-point line and take away pick-and-roll scoring, which they were,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I believe, best in the league last year in pick-and-roll.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: So you're going to want guys that mainly score around
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: the basket, but that's not really what Charlotte does. I
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: think they took the most jump shots in the preseason,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: and they took a ton of threes last year. So
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: they're going to play their game of offense. So there
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: is a little bit of fragility on these guys from
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: a scoring perspective, but it's going to be really tough
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: for Schroeder to not pay off a 3.7K price tag.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Just going to have a fairly big handling role. I
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: think we know that Brandon Miller, they just signed a
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: huge contract. He'll be the guy on offense. And then
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: the addition of Nas Reed, like those would be the
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: two main scoring threats for Charlotte, but Dennis Schroeder is
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: going to be running the show on offense. So I
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: don't really see a reason to get away from that
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: in like single entry stuff. If you want to get
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: a little bit crazy, I guess in MME, this Christian
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Anderson guy, they're pretty high on it. He had a
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: good preseason. He doesn't project terribly. So yeah, I don't
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: think I would go there because you still need a
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: lot to go right. Maybe it's just flipping the build
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: around and getting value elsewhere and spending up at point guard,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: which is definitely easy to do tonight. But, yeah, I'll
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: be starting with Dennis Schroeder, probably a core play tonight.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I do like Grayson Allen. He shot it really well
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: in the preseason. But, like I said, they're going to
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: be running him off the three-point line, so he's going
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: to have to mix it up a little bit. And
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: then Royce O'Neal, another top value at a slay. I mean, 3.5K
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: is just way too cheap for a guy that can
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: kind of do a little bit of everything, mainly a
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: 3 and D guy, and add some rebounding in as well.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: But then, yeah, you.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Definitely have to consider Brandon Miller and Nas. I do
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: think that they have a ton of upside relative to
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: their price tag. They're going to have really big roles.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: We know that Brandon Miller is going to have a
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: massive role, but Nas was a guy that performed like
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: a 7.5K to 8K player at times when he was
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: given the keys to start at power forward with the
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Minnesota Timberwolves last year. Now he's going to be the
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: starting power forward in Charlotte. So I definitely want to
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: be ahead, especially if the ownership, I mean, I can't
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: imagine it's going to be less than 1%.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I think people.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Are always excited. 27 minutes. That feels light. Yeah.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I would, I would agree with that. Uh, don't double check.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's going to play 30 minutes for sure.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I don't see why it wouldn't. Yeah.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know how they could spread those minutes. I mean,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a close game. So, yeah, I
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: would imagine he's above 30 minutes. I mean, all these
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: guys in the starting lineup, maybe minus Diabate should be
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: above 30 minutes. I think that they're all in consideration
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: here tonight. But like I said, I don't want to
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: get too overboard with the team with 110 implied total.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: But maybe I could talk you on to the Brooklyn
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: side a little bit more. The role for Julius Randle
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: in the preseason was really good. And Jordan Fernandez said
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: it's going to carry over into the regular season.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: They're going to use him.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: A lot more as a point forward. He's a black hole.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: That's all you got to say. I mean, he always chalks.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: He's MPJ light. So, yeah, you can talk me into
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: him for fantasy, not to win games.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, all that matters.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Obviously, I don't talk down on him as a player,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: like a winning player. A lot of times I'm really
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: happy Minnesota got rid of him finally. But fantasy is
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: all about opportunity and minutes, and he's definitely going to
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: have that here. But his preseason per 36 stats were
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: pretty solid, 22, 7, and 7. you know, give or
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: take a few points, just kind of rounding up or down.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's going to, the role is going to
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: continue in the regular season.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: So he's definitely a guy that.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: I think could outperform his price tag. He's never really like,
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: if things don't go right for him, you're like, if
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: he lands at like 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: something like that, it's probably not great, but a good
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: night for him where it could be Florida with a
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: triple double is something that I'd be interested in. So
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: I definitely want to get to some of Julius Randle's,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: I think I'm out on MPJ right now. Just didn't
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: have a good role. Didn't like what I saw. A
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: lot of his field goals in the preseason were assisted on.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: So just basically kind of relegated to like a catch
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: and shoot guy or like getting passes off or scoring
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: off of a pass, which is not great for his value.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: The value last year came from because he just had
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: such a massive usage rate. And then Daron Sharp finally
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: gets the runway to be the starter in Brooklyn. And
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: he was good as a starter last year. He averaged
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: 29 DK points in 24.6 minutes per game. I think
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: he's probably closer to 30 minutes a night.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Tough matchup.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Diabat and Cochran are two really respectable big men on
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: the Charlotte side. They might have been the best rebounding
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: team in the league last year.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I'd have to double-check that.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, I just think that he's a good enough
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: point-per-minute guy, and he was getting involved as a passer
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: as well. So I think that 5.7K is a reasonable
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: tag for him. I'd much rather play him over a
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: guy like Jalen Smith.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: And then... That's probably it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: I think Damon is a little bit too pricey right
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: now and with just like an unknown role.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: And then Michael Brown, too expensive as well. I'm going
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: to have to wait and see what happens with him.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: All right, yeah, you talked me into Randall a little bit.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Like I said, just like on PJ, the dude absolutely,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: when he gets the ball, his head's down, he gets
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: the rim, he plays bully ball. It'll be fun to
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: watch Nas against Julius Randall in this one as well.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: All right, let's keep it rolling. Again, appreciate it. Everyone
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: hanging out, all we ask is the like button and
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: subscribe button. Helps us out a ton. No time to
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: waste with 11 games on the slate. Next game, definitely
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: a great one, real life and DFS. Miami Heat, one
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: and a half point favorites over the Minnesota Timberwolves. 240
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: and a half, which I believe is the biggest on
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: the slate. Yes, it is. Or no, it's not. The
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Memphis and the Grizzlies, 241 and a half. But it
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: is definitely up there. you can see this game is
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: getting some ownership lamello and janice the two uh yeah
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: janice will be the most popular spend there's enough value
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: there's enough good tier or good mid-tier options the 1k
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: off a luca goes a long way so a lot
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: of teams will come in with janice i do not
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: believe 20 i could see mid 30s curious here if
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: you have the same Thoughts on that in terms of
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: ownership and then thoughts on this game?
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, definitely in single entry stuff, you're probably
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: starting with Schroeder and Giannis and then building around those
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: two guys.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Just both of them are way too cheap. And, I mean,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I agree with it.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: I think Giannis at 10K, even in a tougher matchup,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: is a really, really solid option.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: You said this game had the second highest over-under now?
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: 240.5 on DraftKings MC and then only other bigger one, 241.5
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: for Utah and Memphis.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: That's interesting.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Last time I checked, which was earlier this morning, it
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: was this game as the highest, but either way, I mean,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: there's immense upside on both sides of this game. The
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: total supply represents that as well. I don't know about
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: the Minnesota side, though. These guys are going to be
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: low-owned outside of LaMelo, but probably for a good reason.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of holes to poke in all these guys.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, 8.8K for Ant normally would be fine, but
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Adding a guy like LaMelo, like LaMelo will probably take
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: a backseat more as a scorer at times this year.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: And the usage held up fine for Ant, 33.5% in
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: the preseason. But LaMelo does take away so many of
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: the assist opportunities that kind of made Ant a good
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: fantasy option last year. So now we're going to need
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: 35 to 40 point games out of Ant for him
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: to be viable, which he definitely could do. Like I'm
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: not going to, I wouldn't be surprised if Ant is
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: the leading scorer in the NBA this year. and a
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: guy that I've kind of picked over the last couple
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: of years to be a potential MVP candidate. But yeah,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: you're just really going to need a lot of points
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: out of him on a regular basis for him to
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: be fantasy viable when LaMelo is taking away the assist
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: and Gobert is taking away the rebounding. With that being said, though,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: this is a pretty good matchup for him. We know
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: that Miami is a team that's going to take away
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: the rim scoring. They've been playing at a really fast pace,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: so there's chances for a transition scoring for Ant, but
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: The area that I'm looking to is a three-point defense,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: which has always been kind of a hole in the
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: Eric Spolstra defense, and Ant is going to be taking
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: a ton of threes. So I do like his scoring
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: upside here, but not sure I'd get there in fantasy.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: I think Lomelo is a much more palatable price tag
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: at 7.9K with the assist upside, so I'll definitely go there.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: And he's done really well against Miami over the past
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: couple seasons, averaged 47 DK points per game. Obviously a
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: different role from Charlotte to Minnesota, but still– a guy
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: that should be able to outscore his 7.9K price tag.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit too big of a
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: slate to get to anybody else on Minnesota, but I
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: am curious about J.D.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: McDaniels.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: He's going to be guarding Giannis, which brings foul risk,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: but it seems like every year going into the season
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: for Minnesota, they just.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Always talk about J.D. McDaniels and even LaMelo.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: He is a stud. He just got rewarded. Shout out
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: to him. One year, $ 40 million. Absolutely deserved.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Definitely one of the more important players in the NBA
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: for their team's success, just with what he does on
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: both ends of the court. But as for fantasy purposes,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: not sure we really need to go there. Lomelo did
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: say he thinks he could average like 20 to 25
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: this year, and Jenny McDaniels said he wants to be
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: an all-star. Probably going to wait for a better matchup
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: where he doesn't have to guard Giannis on the other
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: side of the court and doesn't have Bam protecting the
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: rim down low. So just Lomelo and Ant for me
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: on the Minnesota side.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: On Miami, it's pretty much just Giannis.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: I think Wiggins and Davion Mitchell are probably okay at
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: their price tags.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, I mean, Giannis' role in the preseason was massive.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: He averaged a triple-double per 36 minutes, 30.4 points per game,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: just under 15 rebounds, just under 13 assists per game.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: So definitely going to be finding ways to get over
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: with Giannis. But I do agree with you. He's going
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: to come in way higher on. And then I'll keep
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: an eye on Pele Larson because I– He had a
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: crazy usage rate in the preseason, averaged just under 29
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: points per 36, and was really making a point of
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: emphasis to get to the rim and draw fouls. He
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: was averaging 15 free throw attempts per 36 minutes in
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: the preseason. A lot of positive commentary around him leading
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: into the season as well.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: And the Spolstra, like you said, been a three-point funnel
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: for years. It's only going to get bigger when you
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: add Giannis in the paint next to Bam as well. So, yeah,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: be prepared for teams absolutely be chucking it against the Heat.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: All right, next game on the slate, Indiana Pacers and
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: the New Orleans Pelicans. Three-and-a-half-point favorites are the Pels, 238-and-a-half total. Again,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: one of the biggest on the slate. Looking at ownership,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: this game is not getting much, but, I mean, I
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: see Zion at 6.7K and 15%. I mean, that's all
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: I need to see. Curious here your take, though, on
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Zion this year. You never know with him. What I
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: did like to see, Tyrese obviously came back. after injury.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: He's up there at 8,400, so I'm not sure if
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: today's the day, but his usage was great in the
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: preseason as well as the primary ball handler. The more
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: appealing ones, I think, is the pivots down low. Kelly
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Oubre at 4,700 is something, if he's placed 30 minutes,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: which he's projected at, according to Sabresim, he can always
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: snatch that price tag due to his ability to fill
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: it up. So yeah, this game's pretty tough for me
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: for DFS, but I think Oubre's elite on the Pacers
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: side and I mean, yeah, Zion at 6,700 just screams mispriced,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: but what are the minutes looking like this year? How
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: do you think his role in the offense is with
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: DeJounte healthy, Trey Murphy, and these guys?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: First off, did you say that the Pelicans were favored
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: in this game?
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Three and a half. Oh, no, sorry, I misspoke. So
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I did say that, but I said it wrong. Three
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: and a half point favorites are the Pacers. I was
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: looking at, Saber Sim. So they have one like that.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: And then I just, yeah, I have the sports book
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: up and I just, I guess, associated. So no, scratch that.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Pacers are favored by three and a half.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: I was about to say, you got to run in
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: and jam in the Pacers if that's the case. Because
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: I think that they are just leaps and bounds better
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: than this Pelicans team.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: You've hated the Pels, it feels like, for like two
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: years now. So that makes sense.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: They have a lot of guys that I like.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: I've always been a big DeJounte Murray guy, Trey Murphy
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: as well. Even Zion, I think, is a solid player.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: But for your question that you're asking about Zion, I
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: agree that he looks like he's underpriced, but did not
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: like what I saw from him from a role standpoint
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: in the preseason. Really low usage rate, and they're trying
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: to get his jump shot to work. It's just never
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: been a part of his game. Add in the fact
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: that you've got a healthy DeJounte Murray, you've got Trey
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Murphy still out there. You got rookies and Derek Queen
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: and Fierce who they're trying to develop. If he's going
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: to be like a 24% usage guy or whatever it
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: was in the preseason, I'll double check. But I think
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: that the price is probably appropriate there. And a lot
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: of the upside came from when he could just dominate
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: basically every stat category. Like now you're going to need
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: to just be a score first guy because you have
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Missy out there to take the rebounds away. You still
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: got to get Trey Murphy the ball to score. DeJounte
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: is going to be the guy that's running the show,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: running the point guard role.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: So I'm not super high on Zion here.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Maybe I end up with more, but he does seem
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: like a pretty positive value right now. I'm not going
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: to say that I'm smarter than Sabre Sim or any
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: of these other projection providers, but I just don't really
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: like what I saw from him from a role standpoint.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think I need to go to any of
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: these pelicans, really. You can make the case that Murray
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: and Trey Murphy are in good spots here. But, I
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: don't know, there's guys in their positions that just project
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: as much better values. I do think that the Indy
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: side is a little bit better, mainly those value plays
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: that you mentioned. But I think that, I don't know, Halliburton,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: worth a sprinkle in case he's back to full. I
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: don't think they're going to run him 36 minutes right
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: off the bat, but 32 probably. That seems reasonable. A
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: couple of eight-minute stints in every quarter seems reasonable. But
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: like you said, the usage was great in the preseason.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: He looked like he's all the way back. Like he,
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: it was great that he took the year off because
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: he knew that Pacers were going to be terrible last year.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: And then you add a guy like Zubac, who is
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: I think one of the better pick and roll roll
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: men's that you can have. Cause he's just such a
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: big body like Miles Turner, that pick and pop guy.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: It just didn't really help Halliburton as much. Didn't have
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: the same level of gravity that Zubac has. You can't
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: really throw two at Halliburton because he's just such a
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: good passer and Zubac will be wide open.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: He's even a fine passer.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Passer as the the role man as well I think
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: that the pick and roll offense for India is going
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: to be very very dangerous this year so I'm high
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: on that but like you said it might be a
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: little bit too expensive for Halle like maybe wait a
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: week or two when either the price comes down or
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: the minutes go up but Zubac is a guy I
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: do want to get overweight on because I think that
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: he could really dominate this matchup the Pelicans were a
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: team over the past couple years that we've just been
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: jamming in centers against and he has not had a
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: guy as good as Halleburn in the pick and roll
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: game so I'm I'm expecting a big game out of
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: Zubac here. Like all those values, I think Kelly Oubre,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: one of the better ones at 4.7K, no Neesmith. He'll
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: be in the starting lineup. And Obi Toppin, it seems
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: like he's got the backup center role locked down for now.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: They don't really have anybody behind Zubac. It's Jay Huff
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: and basically Obi. They have Larry Nance Jr. as well,
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: but I don't think they're going to be playing those
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: guys much, if at all, tonight. So, Pace of the
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: game against a Pelican team that was really bad in
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: transition last year I think sets up pretty well for
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Obi Toppin.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: I like it. Him as the center, it creates a
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: lot of mismatches on the other side. The Pelicans are
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: going to have to decide what they want to do.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: with in terms of a matchup because they'll just outrun
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: those centers in transition and get free buckets so i
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: do like obi at 3600 as well next game on
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: the slate rio's utah jazz taking on the memphis grizzlies
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: one at point favorites are the grizz 241.5, which is
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: the biggest on the slate. One ownership that is definitely
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: wrong is Ty Jerome. Let me just bump him up
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: to like 39%. Maybe that's a little hot. To be honest,
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: he could even be 39%, and I still have a
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: ton of interest. I mean, a fully unleashed Ty Jerome
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: this year. Then you can add in one of the
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: best matchups. In terms of pace and for guards, Ty
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Jerome is an elite, an elite play today. Again, unfortunately,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's sneaking past anyone, but I really
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: don't care. I can get different. in other spots. That's
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: all I really got. I'd be, it'd be a disservice
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: for me to talk about the jazz over you, but yeah,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I always loved Keontae marking him. They got some bodies.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: That's for sure. Take it away. Jaren Jackson, revenge game too.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: His first time, a lot of firsts in this game
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: is the first game. Darren Peterson and Cam Boozer will
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: be facing off against each other. The first time Jaren
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Jackson Jr. plays against his former team.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Huge over under. I don't know.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you're basing off some of the preseason numbers,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: there's a little bit cause of concern that Utah games
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: might play a little bit slower. And they, I mean,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: they're going to be better on defense this year because
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: they're going to actually be trying and adding Jaron a
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: big and Jackson Hayes. I don't think Hayes is great
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: by any means, but better than what we were trying
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: out last year. Uh, the rebounding is still going to
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: be a really big concern for them because they don't
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: have anybody that can really grab boards until they get
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: an air catch back. Uh, but yeah, last year they
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: were one of the fastest paced teams in the league
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: and a massive three point funnel, uh, I would probably
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: still expect that to continue here. But yeah, so for
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: the Jazz side of things, obviously they're going to be
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: mainly running their offense through Keontae and Laurie Markkinen and
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Darren Peterson, I would say. But Laurie was the guy
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: that did see the most usage in the preseason. This
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: was a Grizzlies team that did give up a decent
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: amount of three-point volume last year. Laurie, one of the
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: best catch-and-shoot guys in the NBA. And he's probably going
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: to be the primary rebounder when he's on the floor
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: as well. So I think we could get a pretty
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: respectable stat line. Another guy with small forward, power forward
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: eligibility to add to the list of very strong options tonight.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: Definitely have a lot of interest there. I don't think
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I want to get to Keontae right now.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I think the reason he.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Was so valuable was at DFS option last year, because
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: there was so few guys to take away any sort
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: of handling and usage away from him, especially in games
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: that Laura didn't play. But now you have Darren Peterson
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: and Jaron Jackson Jr. and a healthy Laura Markin. And like,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: I do think they're going to be running the offense
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: through a lot of these guys at times i think
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: i'll if i'm trying to get to a guard on
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: the jazz side i would probably prefer to get to
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: darren peterson uh because he looked as good as advertising
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: me one of the more polished guard players that uh
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: just guard scores that we've had come in probably since
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: like anthony edwards there might be some other guys in
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: between i missed out on but he looks like the
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: real deal and i think that he's definitely worth getting
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: to tonight because he did a little bit of everything
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: in the preseason and a lot better of a than
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: I thought he was, a guy that's got really long
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: arms can get some easy steals at times.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: So he can fill up the stat sheet in a hurry.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think that the top four guys that
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: are priced up on the Jazz are guys I'm all considering,
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: but I'd probably say Max one or just a Max
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: two overall and see what that gets me.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Ace is going to be coming off the bench to start.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Collier also coming off the bench.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the role is necessarily going to
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: look like for Hayes. I think they have gone and
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: will go smaller times with Ace in the lineup. I
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: think that's probably their best lineup, but you don't want
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: to start that way. Yeah, so I'm excited about this game,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: excited about the Jazz side of things, and I agree
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: with you on Ty Jerome. I haven't projected around like
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: 28 minutes because that's basically what their head coach said
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: he's going to be playing, but he's going.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: To dominate usage.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit of a different situation last year
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: because he was at like a 30% usage rate, 1.4
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: fantasy points per minute. You have Cam Boozer in there.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: That's another guy they're going to run things through. But
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: I still think that it's the Ty Jerome show. I mean,
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: he's too cheap in a really good matchup. I'll definitely
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: get to a ton of him. I think that's it.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, Sabre is really high on Coward, and I
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: don't disagree there.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: But I don't know.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: There's some really good shooting guard options in that same
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: range I might prefer over him. It is a great
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: matchup for him, though. So maybe just kind of roll
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: with the projection. I think he looks solid. Would love
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: the matchup. I knew ED was going to play normal minutes,
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: but I don't think they're going to. be running out
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: the first time just due to his injury history.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I think a coward's fine if you
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: trust the projection. Sure. But I think they got the
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: tie Jerome and coward ownership flipped. There's no way Jerome's
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: 12% and cowards 29%. So I added to that on
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: the screen as we see it. Boozer just tough at 7,300,
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: but I don't hate, I guess if you want to
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: be in on these rookies, I'll probably take more of
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: a wait and see approach. And it mainly comes down
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: to just the price tag relative to others on the
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: slate that I feel, more known about. But, hey, if
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: there was ever a day, $ 5, 98,000 people in the contest,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: today's your day to get different, get crazy for the
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: first real slate of the NBA. All right, let's keep rolling.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Next game, Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets. Nine-and-a-half-point favorites
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: are the Rockets. 230-and-a-half total, the easiest cross-off game on
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: the slate for me. I'm excited for Kyrie to be back.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Kyrie with the ball in his hands is a blessing
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: for basketball fans. But, yeah, DFS-wise, I got nothing. Yeah,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: take it away.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: That was nice. I don't know if you meant to
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: rhyme right there, but that was pretty good.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: I did not mean to rhyme one bit. Yeah, I agree, though.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've got a full-strength Houston team. Looks like
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: they're going to.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: Be one of the better defenses in the league this year.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: You've got Fred Van Cleet, Steven Adams. I think Steven
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Adams is still questionable, but he should be back. And
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: then you added some more depth and guard handling and
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: defense in Marcus Smart. So I like the moves that
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: they made this year. I think that they could be
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: a top team in the West for sure. Dallas getting
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Kyrie back.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: All in all, I agree.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: I think this is closer to a cross-off game. The
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: game total is not that appealing. Price tag on Cooper
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Flagg is way up there. If you want to bet
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: on him taking a big leap, he was already great
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: at times last year and definitely was paying off this
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: price tag, but in a matchup versus Houston, I think
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: I'd want to go away from that. I think Kyrie
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: definitely earns a little bit of exposure, though. It's 6.8K,
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: just a really cheap price tag. Looks like he's close
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: to fully healthy. I'm not sure if the minutes will
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: be there right off the bat, but he's match-approved when
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: he gets going, so I'm not really too afraid of
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: the Ahmaud Thompson assignment there.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: I think that's it, though.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Not seeing anybody that's projecting close to a positive value
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: on the Dallas side of things that we really need
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: to run and play.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Same thing for Houston.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: I think Kevin Durant is much worse than all the
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: other small forward options that we mentioned earlier, and I
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: think he's the most expensive of the ones I mentioned,
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: so Pretty easy X out on the Houston side of things.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Yep, agree. What's up, Matt? Or what's up, Matt? Our
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: man Matt over here does content. For NBA, he is
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: on the Slate Station today. Yeah, I think it's either
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Jerome or... Schroeder. And Schroeder, yeah. Do you have any
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: take on who's going to be higher?
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Probably Schroeder.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Due to the price, that makes sense. It's going to
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: be one of those two, in my opinion. Both will
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: definitely be high owned. Alright, let's keep it rolling. Still
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: a couple games left. We have an hour and a
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: half window in between that Dallas-Houston game to this Suns
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: and Portland game. Portland 2.5 point favorites. 2.30 and a
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: half total in this one. Game's not looking to get
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: much ownership. On the Suns side though, I will say
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks at 5,600. I think he's a little interesting. Man,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: he was so good and important for this team last year.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: They did get an addition to Miles Bridges, but Brooks
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: can fill it up in multiple different ways if he
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: is really going to be that low on. A little
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: interest there. Jalen Green's usage was also very good in
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: the regular season. I mean, you need probably 30 real
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: ones anytime you play him at 6,300, but he is
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: definitely capable of doing that. Portland side, it's going to
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: be fun to watch. Dane back at 6,500. Not sure
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: he can fill up the stat sheet enough to– To
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: score 45-plus, maybe. I'm curious to hear your main take
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: on that one. Definitely can if Abdi is ruled out.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: You mentioned that at the top, the biggest Q take
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: on the slate. Probably won't get the news until this
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: late window. Yeah, do you have any take on Abdi
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: and then take this game away?
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: I don't, but the fact that you're questionable leading into
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: opening night, picking up an injury that late in the
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: preseason is probably not good.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: But, I mean, he's going to do everything he can
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: to get out there. I'm sure home opener at home.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: Definitely think he's going to try to play, but yeah,
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: if he doesn't like, you got to find a way
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: to get creative and save a couple of spots, like
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: say I'm into, uh, to give yourself some flexibility of
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: a couple of these guys in these last six games. Uh,
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: you could actually just do the last two, I think,
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: cause you'll have the news. And if, if he does play,
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: you can open up to that.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: So that's three games, six teams is what real meant
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: by the way.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: Um, Yeah, I think that with Denny in, it's harder
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: for me to get to any of these Blazers. I
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: think that Ja is interesting at 6.6K, and if he's
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: going to be that low on, because he's basically going
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: to be running the point for them, and he was
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: dominating the assist numbers, kind of had Denny and Dame
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: as the two main scoring options, so pretty valuable role
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: for Ja. He is going to be a guy that's
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: getting points and assists, whereas Dame and Denny, Denny is
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: probably more of like a rebound and points type of guy,
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: and Dame probably more like just scoring. But all the,
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, he took a year off as well, similar
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: to Halliburton, so he's probably close to fully healthy. a
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: little bit older but everything around the Blazers camp said
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: that he looks as good as he ever has in
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: his career which I mean obviously don't believe that but
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: Dame is not really a guy that is super reliant
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: on athleticism and his explosiveness so he definitely could get
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: there he did look good in the preseason so I'd
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: probably just be wait and see approach on the blazer side,
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: unless we get news early on, which we probably won't
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: that Denny is out. Kind of the same for Phoenix though.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: I don't see anybody that's really projecting as a great value.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: Jalen green sounds like he's going to be more of
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: like the point guard for Phoenix. This year was working
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: with Steve Nash in the off season. Didn't really show
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: up in the preseason numbers, but like he is cheap
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: compared to what we saw from him last year. It
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: was some games where he really went off. Not sure
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: how that looks with miles bridges in there now though.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: And Gillespie's still going to be a guy that's eating
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: into him.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: So, I don't know. It's probably just a max one,
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: max two overall in this game.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Agree. Definitely do agree. Before we talk about the last
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: two games, let me head on over to our new
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: website at Shippenation.com. You got that right. New website. Look
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: at how sharp this is. As you can see, our
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: shows for the day. UFC, me and Big Marley will
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: be talking right after this. Free articles, all of our
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: different sports options here. What you get in NBA projections, ownership.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: The Stone Showdown content as well. If you want to
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: see all of our different pricing, see plans and pricing,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: you click it down and you drop down. You can
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: see monthly and annual deals. And you do get, like
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: I said, if you, or I always say it, the
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: longer you're with us, the cheaper it gets. So you
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: can see monthly $ 99 for the Core 100, $ 149 for
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: a starter. But if you go to annual, you save
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: $ 20 on both of those. And you can see everything
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: that you do get. With us, 500 lineups for the starter.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: You get Saber Sims projections and ownership. You get contest flashback,
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: ability to late swap, whereas Core 100, you get 100
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: ability to use 100 lineups. You do not get Saber
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Sims projections or ownership. You just get ours. But I
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: think the starter deal is definitely the best. If you
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: are playing probably even like $ 30, $ 35 a night or more,
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: I think starter would definitely be very important. NBA is
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: obviously a very big late swap sports. Uh, if you
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: can see down here as well, if you're only playing
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: one sport, we do have NBA for the month, less
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: than a dollar a day, uh, for NBA content, NBA content,
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: $ 20 more, you get, uh, Saber Sim. And if you
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: go to annual, you can see it definitely gets cheaper too, uh,
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: as all of our prices do. So we'd love to
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: have you also, you can take this 60 second quiz. Um,
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: and you also get a discount. So, uh, definitely do
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: join the discord if you do join any of our packages.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Let's head on over to Saberson. We've got two games left,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers. Lakers
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: six-and-a-half-point favorites, 234-and-a-half total in this one. Anytime I'm seeing
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Draymond get over 20% ownership, especially on a slate like
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: this with 11 games, I am good. I don't care
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: that he's 4,500. Yeah, if he beats me, he beats me.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Do you have any other different take in this game?
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: And then Lakers side seems pretty appropriately priced, and ownership
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: reflects that.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I tend to agree with you there.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: It's just tougher when his price gets that low because even,
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know, like 25, 26.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: I just don't think that wins it today.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that. And there's probably going
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: to be guys that outscore him.
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: Like we saw last night, there was a lot of
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: guys that were chalky that got outscored by people that
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: we weren't really on. So it definitely could happen here
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: with there being 10 other games to get to. Yeah,
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: for me, I mean, it's Yaxel. I don't know if
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: I'm saying that incorrectly. I saw that it was potentially Jack.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I saw the thing that saying Jackson,
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: I'm saying the axle until everyone says that the other way.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, savers way too low on him. We're going
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: to be, we're gonna have to come up a lot there.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: Cause I do think that he's going to be a
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: really big part of this.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: 27. They have them for 24. Do you think 27
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: is light too?
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I would put them probably like 32.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. Yeah.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, they, Steve Kerr came out and said like,
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: he's going to play a ton. He's going to be starting.
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: Like they're all in on him. Draymond Green said that
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: he's the future face of their franchise. And this is
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: after they just, I think that they just, uh, signed pods, right.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: To a long-term deal.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Pods or, uh, Steph Curry light or whatever you want
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: to call, whatever he wants to be called. Yeah. Yeah.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: That's hilarious.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, he's, he's going to be the
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: focal point, like of the team moving forward, the face
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: of the franchise after Steph and Draymond leave. I mean,
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: he looked great in the preseason and in, uh, what
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: is it called? The Summer League. I think he won
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: Summer League MVP. Yeah, he just does a lot of everything.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: Like he's kind of like in the, don't take this
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: too literally, but like the Giannis, like Jalen Johnson type
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: of forward where they can really fill up every single
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: area of the stat sheet. So I'm definitely going to
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: get to a lot of Yaxel here. I don't think
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: that he's going to be as low as I projected.
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're going to get a refresh. I think
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: he'll come up a good bit, but he should definitely
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: be in consideration here. Having trouble to say that I
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: want to play Steph over some of the other point
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: guards mentioned earlier in that same range. But just because
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's going to be playing four minutes
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: off the bat. I mean, you just saw a couple
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: days ago when they had their open practice, he had
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: a non-contact injury, which apparently was not anything serious. But
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: they're not going to be pushing him to a ton
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: of minutes. And I think it probably capped to like
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: 29 to 30 on the high end. So you really
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: just need a ton of scoring from him, which he
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: obviously can do. One of the best to ever do it.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: So if you want to play him, go ahead. But
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: I think that there's some other options I'm going to
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: begin to. And then the value on De'Anthony Mellon, I think,
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: looks pretty solid here. If Steph is at all limited
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: or just not playing well, I think Melton is a
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: guy they're going to have.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: To lean on for some offense.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Anything Lakers side? Yeah.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: Luka, Reeves, and Kessler are pretty much in for me.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: I think Kessler is a pretty solid option, similar to
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: Zubac in that same range where nobody's going to really
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: be playing him. And we've seen what Luka can do
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: unlocking a guy like Walker Kessler.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: You've seen some of the centers in the past that
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Luka's played with have some.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: Really big games. So yeah, they went out and got him.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: This is a guy that Luka wanted. I think they
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: have a big plan in place for Walker Kessler. Luka's
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: just kind of a spend-up to be contrarian option because
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: we have Giannis for cheaper and better positional eligibility or
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: just had an easier position to spend up for. So
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: you're going to get pretty low ownership on Luka for sure.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: But I think that Reeves might be Overall, a better
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: option at 8K with point guard, shooting guard eligibility.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: Very similar role, not as high of a usage.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: Luke was at 41% lead, or sorry, I don't know
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: what his number was in the preseason, but dominated and
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: led the entire preseason in usage. So like him, and
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: then just keep an eye on the starting lineups. I
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: think it's going to be Zaire Williams out there, 3.3K.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: You could do worse than a guy starting at a
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: shooting guard small forward that cheap.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the last game of the night. 10.30 Eastern,
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles Clippers. We are looking
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: at five and a half point favorites for the Clips.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: 226 and a half total in this one. Getting some ownership, though.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: So you did mention if you wanted to wait for
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: Obdianews or make a rule, have at least two players
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: in those last three games. I think this is a
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: game that you naturally will get a little bit of.
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: More interest on the Clippers side, at least in terms
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: of ownership. Then the Kings, but Sabonis is getting some
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: ownership at $ 7, 700. What Sabonis are we going to see?
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: The one like three years ago where he was just
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: a double-double machine racking it up or the Sabonis as
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: of late? What feels like the past year, year and
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: a half? I don't know.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, the preseason looked really bad for Sabonis. He
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: might be dust or just not motivated to play for
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: this team, which I wouldn't blame him for. But, I mean,
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: Darius Acuff is just going to be so ball-dominant.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Just going to have all the usage in the world.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: Like I struggle to see a scenario where Sabonis can
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: outscore a guy like Zubac or Walker Kessler who are
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: in much better positions. I guess the matchup is fine
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: because Isaiah Jackson's a kind of like a smaller bodied center.
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: So he could get there off of like, just like
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: a double double with a ton of rebounds, but I
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: don't know that this feels really high and kind of
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: just feels bad paying that, much and that big of
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: an ownership for Sabonis. I'm out on him, pretty much
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: out on the entire Kings right now. I just think
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: this team is just a train wreck, but the Clippers
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: side looks a lot better. Isaiah Jackson was one of
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: the guys I was mentioning over Jalen Smith because at 4.7K,
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: a guy that's starting and probably playing 27 minutes. I mean,
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: we know he's been a really good permanent guy in
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: the past. I was looking at the game logs last
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: year when he played for the Clippers, only a handful
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: of games, but there was five games where he was
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: above 19 minutes and he averaged 27.6 DK points per
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: game or 1.26 fantasy points per minute. So plug that
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: in a guy that's playing 25 plus one of the
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: better values on the slate for me, Garland going to
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: have a ton of usage and, uh, going to really
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: be leaned on in a really big way.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: Kings had the second worst.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: Defensive rating, the priest is, and I expect that to
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: carry over should be a really good spot for him.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: Another guy I'd probably rather play over Steph Curry, uh,
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: Chris Dunn was a guy that's getting a ton of
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: ownership or at least projecting as a strong value early
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: in the day, probably just because he's starting.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: But I don't know.
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: I'd probably try to find ways to get away from
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: him because he's point guard only. And then I do
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: have interest in Rui at 5.4K. A lot of positive
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: things around him. Ty Lue apparently wants him to average
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: over eight rebounds.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Per game.
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: His usage was the highest on the Clippers in the preseason,
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: and he led them in scoring. So I really like
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: what I'm seeing from Rui, the numbers leading into the season,
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: and probably one of the best spots that he'll face
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: all season.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: You don't got to talk me into Rui. Rui's an
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: absolute monster. Looking to be pretty low on what if
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: they want to run offense through Rui or have A
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: usage like that, 5.4K will not last long. He'll be 6.4K
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: pretty soon. I think that's actually my favorite play after
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: everything we've talked about. Rui Hachimura in the last game
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: of the night, only projected for 5%. Things you absolutely
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: love to see. You don't need this on an 11-game slate, right?
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: That's a showdown night slate, if anything.
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're just asking for way too much from a
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: guy like Brook Lopez.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: Hey, that's our talk in all 11 games, DraftKings and
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: FanDuel again, including all 11 of these games. Be on
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: the lookout for Denny News. Late swaps, obviously very important.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: We would love to have you at The Nation. Again,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: as you can see, multiple different options. I'll just head
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: over one more time to our beautiful new layout, see
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: plans and pricing, monthly and annual packages. We also do
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: have single sport options as well. Again, pricing only gets
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: better the longer you are with us. Rio, any final
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: thoughts for you before we get on out here? No,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: I think we covered it all.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: I know you've got to get out of here and
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: get to the MMA show, so ready to roll whenever
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: you are.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, UFC 334, I believe. A great, great MMA DFS slate.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: A lot of coin flip fights. Volk, Ivlov, Peter Jan, Murad.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a fun one. Good stuff, Rio.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: If anyone wants some MMA content, head on over to
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: the show. Big Marley and I will be going live
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: any second. Slate plan... is up from our man Matt Bellman.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: You can see Coors on there as well, as well
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: as projections, ownership, and showdown contents. That'll do it for
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: us for Rio on Titletown. Good luck. Be safe. Peace.
