• 0:08
  Speaker 1: All system's gone clear.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: We love talking.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: What is going on everybody? We're back for a Monday
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: edition of the NBA Show. Last week of the NBA season.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I believe checked the schedule before hopping on. I think
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: this is our final show together, Matt, But yeah, how
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: is your how's your weekend going? And if it is
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: our last show together, it's always a pleasure. Love talking
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: ball with you. But been a fun season has gone
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: by really quickly, surprisingly, But yeah, how's everything going for you?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: How's your Easter weekend? Yeah?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Everything's good. Man, weekend was good. A lot of family
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: time came real close in the MLB streets as you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So hopefully can get all the way up to the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: top sooner rather than later. But yeah, man, good weekend.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Excited to talk the slate out with you, even if
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: it's a small one. Maybe we'll have some good playoff
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: slates that we can talk over. So excited for that.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I know playoff oops is just better than regular season NBA.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: There's no like, It's just unequivocally better basketball. So excited
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: for the playoffs to start and there'll be some good slates.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: It's a completely different game. As far as the DFS
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: perspective goes, but it's better basketball, especially being a fan
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of a team that's like in the playoff mix, consistently
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: excited for kind of the playoff season to start. But yeah,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: MLB has kind of taken over from a DFS perspective,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: but there's still some contests in the NBA streets. So
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: excited to at least get into it with you tonight.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thankfully, tonight's slate looks pretty good. We do have
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: a couple one game that has playoff implications for the seeding.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: That Nicks and Atlanta game should be a fun one.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: And then Orlando, a team that is trying really hard
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: right now to stay or move up in the in
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: the East, and then as well as Philly. So some
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: good spots at least from a game environment perspective or
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: team environment perspective, where these teams will be playing things
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: pretty straightforward, some thing that makes it a lot easier
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to talk through. And then we have one game with
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: York Cleveland Cavaliers, who ruled out a bunch of guys,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and then that Memphis side of things, that's just they're
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: playing a bunch of creative players right now, so it's
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: really tough to talk through, but we'll go through a
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: game by game as always say. It's up some people
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: in chat before we do. Wins Law is in here,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Ricky Rose, our guy, Paara Bay, mac Na, it's what's
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: going on checking? I don't know, are you on the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: show tonight? Nate's for MLB If you are, definitely gonna
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: be tuning in there always good knowledge coming from our
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: guy and then Deacon and Julius are here tonight.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And our boy Josh. What's going on? Man?
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: If you wanted to go through any sort of like
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Slate overview stuff, If not, we can just jump right
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: into the games.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I think Days is on tonight with ham My guy
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: from the Friday NBA shows, and those are just a riot.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I know you'd be watching those, and yeah, we have
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun on those shows. So I'll be
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: watching tonight too for sure. As far as the Slate
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Overview goes, Piston's got a lot of guys out here,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: so they're gonna look good from a value perspective. I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: think the Slate overview is kind of what you said though,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: all competitive games really, and the Cleveland Memphis game because
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Cleveland has so many guys out that game could easily
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: be competitive less you know that game is much more
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: as far as knowing where to go. But I think
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: there's pieces to take. I think every game clearly has
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a role on this slate, and I think that you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: can take pieces from every game and kind of build
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: around it. So an exciting slate from that regard.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yep, for sure, great breakdown.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to go back to that Friday show
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: because you guys were that was a very entertaining show.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You guys got a lot right there.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: But our boy Cooper flag worst playing the slate, end
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: up going for fifty one real points against the Orlando Magic,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: who apparently are a lockdown defense. It's a bad look
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: for that one guy that was talking about them. But
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: it will jump in game by game as always. Going
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: into the first one Detroit at Orlando, a little game
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: overview here. Detroit locked in the number one seed, so
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: really don't have much to play for rest of the way.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I would kind of imagine them to dial back the
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: minutes a bit on these starters that have been playing
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: a lot.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: They do have doubtful tags on injury port real quick,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: but doubtful tags on duncan beef stew Tobias Harris, and Caid.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: We kind of know that Kid's not gonna play.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: He's done for the year, but the Tobias and Duncan
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: ones are new kind of just feel like it's management
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: tags at this point season. Then a questionable tag on
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Kris Lavert, but I do expect them to deepen up
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the rotation a little bit. The only guy that is
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: really playing for something right now is Jalen Duran because
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: he's kind of battling with Nicko Alexander Walker for most
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: improved Player. So I think that there's a chance they
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: start to maybe maybe he's not play him more minutes,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: but run more things through him, more of the offense
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: through him to kind of like juice up those numbers
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: a little bit. And then on the Magic side of things,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: out tags on Franz Wagner, Jet Howard and Jonathan Isaac.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: And then the big news was Anthony Black upgraded to probable.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: That's really big for the Magic. He was great early
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: in the season, just a really.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Good two way guy.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: As far as what that does for the rotation a
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: little bit. I do expect him to still come off
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the bench where there's a chance that he could bump
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: out Tristan da Silva. They have enough handling in the
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: first unit to not really need to start Anthony Black,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: but he does provide a secondary defensive option that the
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Magic hadn't really had with him off the court. Yeah,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: talk to me about this one. Detroit at Orlando pretty
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: low team, so I think I think this is the
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: lowest one in the slate at two twenty two and
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: a half, so it could be a little bit less
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: of appealing of a game. But the Magics, I think
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: things is a little bit more interesting because they will
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: run things pretty tight.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I would imagine.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Black being back. He's a good defender, So I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: don't like that from a Detroit perspective. From the Pistons
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: standpoint though, like they're gonna have guys in play just
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: because of the you know guys they have out here.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: You know, no Tobias, no Duncan Robinson, So I'm gonna
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: put someone like Kevin Herder firmly in the mix. Like
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I get your point about not really wanting to spend
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: on Detroit guys like Dura and Dennis. Although your point
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: about Duran, like you know, maybe playing for most improved. Sure,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: but I kind of lean more towards like they have
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the ones he locked. His numbers are what they are.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna win that award anyways, So I'd
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: be kind of surprised if they pushed him hard here.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: And that leaves the door open for the cheaper guys. Herder,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Holland you know, those two are the two that probably
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: stand out the most. Marcus Sasser at forty one hundred,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: like wouldn't be surprised if he played more here, But
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think you need to get too weird with it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I think Herder looks like a guy that I'm probably
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: just gonna play here. Forty three hundred. You can play
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: him at you know, shooting guard, small forward, so five
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: different spots. He looks really really good. LeVert is truly questionable,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I believe, right yep. If he's in, he looks good here,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: he's getting ownership Sabers showing it. I think that he's
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: not someone I feel great about it. But thirty seven
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: hundred very good tag for all those guys being out.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So I think it's the cheap Detroit guys. I understand
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: your angle about the most improved for Duran, I just
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: think I like to spend ups elsewhere, and I'll play
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it kind of from the angle you talked about, where
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you know they've already clinched the one seed and like
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it's likely even Okage seemingly is on a track to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: play in the playoffs. They're gonna need Jenkins, like especially
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: in the first round, so I doubt they're gonna just
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: push him here. I like the cheaper Detroit guys as
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: far as Orlando goes. It's basically the same thing they've been.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: All their guys are priced to a point where they're
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: all in play. I don't think any of them stand
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: out as guys you have to play. My favorite is
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: still probably Sugs. Sixty eight hundred is a good tag
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: for him, but Bain, Wendell, Carter Bank, Harrow, like those
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: four with Cain and Da Silva as like fringe guys.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I think they're all in play.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: YEP, pretty much agree with everything you said there. Kind
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: of feel the same about the Detroit stuff, don't really
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I don't really love going up to Duran or Jenkins
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: here because I agree with your point on them. Actually,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: the betting markets do have Nick Alexander Walker as the favorite,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: but I kind of agree. I think that I think
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Duran should be winning good but I mean Nika Alexander
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Walkers had a great last two months and really great season.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: But agree with you, I think that they don't really
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: need to push him up too much if the game
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: is I mean, the games aren't really They're kind of
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: meaningless for them the rest of the way, so it's
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: kind of just getting them ready for the playoffs.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Hurder as a guy, I agree with you.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I think that he's pretty safe regardless, because I remember
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: reading a lot of stuff when they traded for him
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: that he was a guy they needed to get going
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: and he's gonna be like a big part of their
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: their team success, I would say, in the playoff. So
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I feel like he's gonna be playing regardless. They're going
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: to look to get him a lot of minutes and
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of more offensive workload. He started two games
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: for the Pistons this season, thirty one point three and
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: thirty six and a half DK points, so very good
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: production from him. Four point three K And I agree
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: with you on Orlando. I think Sugs is my favorite option. Surprisingly,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: the minute ceiling has been a lot better than I
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: anticipated from him because he's just a guy that's dealt
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: with so much injury, but this is a game. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: mean they're gonna be needed to play these guys a
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: time the rest of the way to kind of move
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: up in the Eastern Conference seating or at least hold
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: their position, because they can fall all the way down
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: to ten, but could get all the way up to
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I think six or five.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Fives, some massive difference.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're one game back on the Sixers, who are
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: obviously playing tonight. He gets the Spurs two games back
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: on the Hawks, so I mean there's there is or sorry,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: three games back on the Hawks, but they're only one
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: game ahead of the Heat, who are tenth right now,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: so it's I mean a lot could really change.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: So they do need to play their guys at a time.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they need wins for sure. So interesting from that perspective,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: as you mentioned, like they're going to run a tight rotation.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: So I think getting to Orlando makes some sense here.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I just want to pull up there are scheduled this week,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: just to get an idea of who they're playing. Let's
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: see Orlando plays Detroit today, They're off tomorrow, Minnesota, Chicago, Boston,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: so three of the four of their four last teams
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: are very tough for sure. All Right, we'll jump into
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: the next game here, Knicks at Atlanta Hawks. I think
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: this game is gonna be really fun and definitely think
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: that this is one where we could see playoff like rotations
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: for both teams because it is pretty big for the standings.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: The Knicks are trying their whole depositioning in three, although
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I think that there are probably some easier paths for
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: them if they were to fall down or up.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: That's kind of last time you had talked about that
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: where the Caps were kind of trying to lose games
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: to hold that four spot. Not sure if the Knicks
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: are looking to do the same here, but I think
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: this is a game where both teams will be going
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: all out to win here because the Hawks do I
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: think they do want to stay fifth here. So if
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: you want to talk touch on that the playoff seating
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: real quick.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Do you think at this point it's kind of a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: lot that like the Calves are going to be in
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: fourth or yeah, the Calves are going to be in
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in fourth. I'm not positive, but only a few games
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: left to play, I'm not sure, but that's what I think.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: It's a likely outcome. I'm not sure how the Knicks
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: are playing it. It does seem like the Calves are
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: playing it where again they got all their guys out tonight,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: But basically I mean they're playing it is kind of
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: like they're fine losing these games. Not that they're tanking
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: per se, but I think the Calves, who would much
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: rather play Detroit in the second round. Frankly, yeah.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Matchup wise, I think that these teams do match up
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: pretty well.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: The Hawks have been.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Great in the second half of the season, one of
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: the top defense in the league, but also playing really
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: good on offense. Rebounding has been great for them, still
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: giving up a little bit of rim scoring, so there's
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: kind of a spot that you can attack there, but
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: all around, just playing really good basketball on both sides
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: to the court. The Knicks have been up and down
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: a lot as of late, definitely giving up a lot
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: more catch to shoot than they probably want to.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: In the room.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Defense hasn't been as good as it needs to be,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: so I think that Hawks do match up pretty well here.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Hawks are going to want to play with pace. I
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: think this game could be one that has heard from
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: from a DFS perspective. Nick side of things. It's Cat
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: over Brunton for me pretty much always. I just don't
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: think it's a good spot for Bruntson against Dyson Daniels.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: He's been fine from a production standpoint average twenty nine
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: points per game, one forty eight percent shooting against Dyson
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: this season, but the overall fantasy upside is.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Just a bit capped.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: With a fully healthy team, like we even saw on
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Friday when Cat miss he was pretty popular. I believe
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: in that's slate was efficient, but seventeen points in tennis
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: is for thirty four DK points is just not going
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: to get it done in nine K. Love Brunton as
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: a player, but I think that he should be priced
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: in like the low eight k's right now, just from
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: what we've seen from this season, So pretty clear XP
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: for me, do you prefer Kat over him? Kat got
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: the night off on Friday. The Knicks don't play again
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: until Thursday, so they're gonna be very well rested. Definitely
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: a game that they'll be going all out for. But
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Kat's been really good in these close games, probably be
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: playing around thirty four minutes. Hawks have been much more
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: lable on the vulnerable at the rim, and Kat did
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: go off against him earlier this season for thirty six
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: and fifteen and just thirty minutes. I like the match
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: up for him, like his upside. And then the trio
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: of og Hart and McHale I think are guys that
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: you should always keep in their playpool because more often
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: than not there's a good chance one of these guys
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: does enough to at least be viable. But they do
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: have really big ceiling outcomes when they do hit.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: We've seen og been great as of late.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Josh Hart is a guy that you know, double double,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: triple double threat. At times he'll have a soft matchup
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: less so for McHale, but he is really cheap at
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: five point seven K. And then yeah, if you want
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: to talk to me about the Hawks, they're getting a
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: little bit of ownership, I believe I've seen. Yeah, they're
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: all kind of like the load to upper teams their
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: main guys that they're playing. But definitely good upside on
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: these guys at these price siges. I think a Congo
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: is pretty interesting with no jock. But you touch touch
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: on this game here.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's the first guy from Atlanta I want
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to touch on. But it is interesting that this game
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: with it's basically a pick them. It is a pick
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: them decently high total. It's kind of falling through the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: cracks from an ownership perspectives, just because of how the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: slate lays out. Just interesting. I think, like from a
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: game stagging perspective, this game is interesting because, like projections
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: aren't going to get people to a ton of it,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: and certainly there's a peal here for it playing higher
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: than the total over time on a four game slate,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the other games busting. You know, multiple avenues, and there's
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: good players in this game. So from that perspective I
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: can get on board. I think your next breakdown is
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm right in line there. I prefer towns,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: and I think the other guys are certainly guys i'd
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: want to keep in my pool. Brunson's overpriced from Atlanta.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I like the Hawks a little bit more. My favorite
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: piece of Atlanta is a Congo no jock. He's in
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: good for him right now. He's got a really good
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: price tag. He's one of my favorite mid tier plays
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: on the slate. Ownership is there, but nothing crazy. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: think he's slightly underprojected here. I like him in what
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: should be a close game, and I can get on
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: board with all the other main piece pieces from Atlanta.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson's not my favorite spend up option on the slate,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: but he's always in play, so I wouldn't fallow anyone
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: who did have him as their favorite spend up option
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: and then dice in Alexander Walkerm Colum, all these guys
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: in the pool. No one, I'm like, I have to play,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: but all all of them I could play. Oh, Congu
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: is my favorite, how do you see it?
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I agree with you, I like the congo the best,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: and I probably have Nikki legs Una next. And I'm
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: with you on Jalen. I'm not really excited about this
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: matchup for him against OG. It's been a while since
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: we've had a game that you really needed to have
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: from Jalen Johnson, and he's still priced way up there,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: like I think March sixteenth, yeah, like lane Its Yeah,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: So he just feels more like a cash game play
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: to me right now because A fifty like he's pretty
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: much locked in for like fifty to fifty five and
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: it's just been a while since he's six x his
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: price tech I wouldn't I don't know if I would
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: expect that to happen against og just a tough matchup
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: for him.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: So I'm with you on the Kong Wu shout, and.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: I like Nikak Alexander Walker is my second favorite option
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: on Atlanta.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: I mean this, this whole show is kind of breaking
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: that down, so I feel like it's kind of yeah,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I would just go back and I don't know, the
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: show is kind of breaking down every single tier every game,
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: so I think it's kind of self explanatory. But we'll
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: jump into the next game. Philly at San Antonio. The
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Spurs don't really have much to play for now. They're
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: pretty much locked in it too, like there's an outside
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: shot they could reach okay, see, but highly unlikely they
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: play or sorry. The Thunder are three games up now
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: on the Spur, so they really needed that win over
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: the weekend against Denver. So yeah, there's a really really
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: small chance that Spurs can move up here. I still
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: think that they'll probably play this game straight up because
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: it would be good just to get these guys minutes
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: against a playoff team, So I think that they'll play
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: it straight up. But yeah, I mean, this game for
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: sure has a ton of appeal. Definitely looking forward to
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: watching him beating Wemby face off tonight, and the Sixers
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: do need to win because they are in that same
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: range in the Eastern Conference. They're six right now, could
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: drop all the way down to ten as well if
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: they do go on like a small losing streak. Highly unlikely,
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: but this is a game that they are not favored
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: to win. But I think they'll be gone all out here,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: and they run things pretty straightforward. They're one of the
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: more predictable rotations. We're gonna get like an eight man
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: rotation from them. I wouldn't say anything about the matchup
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: really stands out. The Spurs have been given up more
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: three point volume as of late, so guys like Paul
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: George are probably in better spots than max and Embiid,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: But Maxine and Ebid are. They still have upside even
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: in tough matchups. MAXI going against Castle Wemby and Embiid
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: facing off, so tough spot for both of them, but
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit easier for a guy
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: that can be to rack up fantasy points. I do
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: prefer him over Maxi, but not by like a really
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: wide margin because Maxi's gonna be playing forty plus minutes
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: pretty much every game of the rest of the season,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: So just easy to get fantasy points when you're on
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: the court so much. I do like Paul George though
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: a lot here at eight K. I've been playing great
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: since returning from the suspension, shown really good usage and
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: upside playing alongside those guys. Spurs do allow more off
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: ball scoring, so I think it's a good spot for
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Paul George to get a more shots than usual here.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: But what are you seeing on the six er side
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: of things? And then take us into the Spurs side.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So one like counterpoint of what we talked about
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: earlier with Detroit possibly like pulling the guys back a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: little bit is potentially, And it's kind of the same
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: situation with San Antonio, like they're gonna play their guys,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: you know, they're basically they're full of a lot, but
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: a minute and then when they don't want to play them,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: they're gonna rest them, like Detroit is doing with a
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: couple guys tonight. So you're not gonna see like huge
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: minutes from the Spurs guys, but normal minutes wouldn't surprise me.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I think you could see this game play straight up
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: from the Philly side. I really like Embaid here. I
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: like him in big time matchups like this, and it's
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: just as you kind of said verbatim, it's easy for
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: him to rack up Fantasy points, so it's nothing about
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the matchup, but Philly needs wins. All their main guys
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: are in play. I can get on board with embiid, Maxi,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and Paul George. You mentioned Paul George on his first
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: game back. I kind of pooh pooed him. I mean
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: pretty sure. He was a huge piece of Shaloub's winner
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: of all. I can't remember how much it was that night,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: but he was amazing that night. He's been really good,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: as you mentioned, since he's come back. So all three
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: of those guys guys I could play. I like Embi
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the most. No one else on Philly is any is
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I think gonna land in my personal like limited lineup pool.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I don't want the fringe guys. I want the main guys.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: And then from the Spurs side, I like him. I
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: like Wemby a lot, so I like running Wemby and EMBIID.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people are gonna do that.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: You're obviously taking up Center and Utah and a lot
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: of salary. I think they both have monster upside in
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: this spot and what should and could be a close game,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: so I like both them here. I think Castle obviously
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: looks good. The Aaron Fox is cheap, it's a better
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: matchup on paper for San Antonio, and they're really affordable,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: so I can get on board with a bunch of Spurs.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Yep, I agree with everything there. I can't forget to
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: mention Joel Embiid going for seventy against Wemby what two
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: years ago?
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like he gets up for spots like this.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Both the French you know whatever.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: And the yeah Spurs side agree with you.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I think Wimby probably the easiest click as a spend
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: up tonight eleven point five g. I mean, he's just
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: been really turning it up as of late, seventy six
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: plus DK points in three straight games. I like the
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: matchup against Embiid and b plays a ton of drop coverage.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Their overall defense is just much worse than him on
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: the court, so I think there's a good case for
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Wimby here to have a ton of upside obviously, but
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: the matchup being really well for him is kind of
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: the main one and the same thing for Castle. I
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: like him when he can get some more transitions scoring going,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: and maybe they want to. I don't think they're gonna
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: want to play Castle every minute that Max is in
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: the court, but they're gonna definitely want to have them
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: match up as much as they can, and he does
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: have a lot of upside. I think he's a little
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: bit underpriced for what he's shown us of late.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Fox is a.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Tougher sale just because it's he's like clearly the third
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: option on the team.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: He's just so cheap, so cheap.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: I actually do think that it's a good spot for him,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Like I said, with him Beid playing someone drop coverage,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: that's gonna help his scoring upside a ton, But like
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: realistically he needs like thirty real points, I think because
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: he's just not doing enough of the other things when
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Castle and Weeb are healthy. I think that the grouping
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: of Visel, champagnee, Harper, and Keldon should be in player
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: pools as well because they kind of profile similar to
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: the Knick secondary guys in the sense that these guys
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: are probably have like one of these four guys is
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: probably doing enough to be viable, and they do have
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: that upset that can win a tournament for you and
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: can be used as pivots off of the Cleveland and
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Memphis stuff. All right, good segue going into that Cleveland
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: and Memphis game. Your Cleveland Cavaliers are double shit to
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: spread here, thirteen point favorites on the road. So even
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: with all these guys out, which is James Harden, Donovan Mitchell,
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Jalen Tyson, Thomas Bryant, Max Strus, and Dean Wade, Vegas
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: still giving them a ton of credit here, obviously against
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: a team like Memphis who is just doing a bunch
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: of Shenanigans, signing a bunch of guys I've never even
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: heard of before. But Ti Jerome is out, Jami Mayshak
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: and Javon Smaller out, and then Hendrix and Gibson are doubtful.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Right now, I see nine guys projection projected on Memphis,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: but they could.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Make it ten.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Ryan Repair, we don't have a minute projection on just
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: yet because he's been inactive in some of these games.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: So if he's out or in would definitely change how
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at it. But yeah, I mean it's a
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: great spot for the Calves put up a ton of
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: points here. They're like we said, they're pretty locked and
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: in their positioning in the UH in the standings right now.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: So don't think we're gonna be getting full minutes from
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Mobley and Allen. But it's really a tough spot to
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: avoid because the matchup is just so so good. So
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: I'll let you touch on your calves on how you're
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: seeing them from a value standpoint and how you compare
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Mobley and Allen to some of these Mitchier options and
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Jared Allen at the center position against guys like Wemby
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: and embiid.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so another spot where I do like to value
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: more because I do think there's minutes insecurity with the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: main guys. It's hard to get away from them. As
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you mentioned, I like Mobili more just because of the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: eligibility of power forward, and I try like, especially with
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Allen's like recent injury history, I struggle to see him
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: playing big minutes here. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he breaks
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the slate. He's cheap enough where he can do it,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: But I think I'm gonna lean off of Allen and
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: into Mobili and the value impossible to get away from
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the value. It looks really really good here. Shrewder Craig
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Porter Junior, Kean Ellis, Sam Merrill, Nate Kwan, Tomlin. I
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: mean all five of those guys, I could make a
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: case for it for being one of, if not the
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: best value planned the slate. Obviously some of them look
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: better than others. Larry Nance, like this is what you
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: get in NBA dfs. Right now, we only have Larry
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Nant's ship at that is projected for like fourteen you
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: see it here, fourteen point six state fantasy points. Saber
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: hasn't projected for two now. Maybe that's just like we
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: have an updated since guys have been out. But from
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: a sabers In perspective, Nance looks elite. So you're gonna
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: want Cleveland here, just no matter how much like I
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: think playing the spend ups in the last game we
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: talked about and a lot of the value here is
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a build that I'm gonna certainly look at. Maybe it's
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: not how I land, but I want the cheap guys
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: here again, kind of like Detroit, and I like the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: cleete chievelin guy Cleveland guys even more than the cheap
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Detroit guys. Better spot more guys out for Cleveland, more
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: main guys out, So yeah, I probably order them like
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: right here, off the top of my head, Shrewder number
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: one easily, probably Man, it's tough because they're both point guards,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: but probably Kean ellis two. Then Craig Porter Junior, then Merrill,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: then Tomlin I don't know, dance in there too. How
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: do you rank them? Like they are all they all
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: have a real serious role on this slate.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for me, I'm kind of like putting the value
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: plays into two different buckets and because that makes it
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: a little bit easier to talk through. So like the guards,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: and I would even though Keon is a small forward
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: power forward on DraftKings, I kind of would group them
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: into the guards, And I agree with you. I think
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Schroeder is the clear cut number one option four K
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: really tough to get away from, and then I have
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: it Craigport Junior next, and then Keon.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I just think Craigport j Yeah.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Say, but it's so much easier to play ke On
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: with or so much easier. It's so much eat to
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: play key On with Shrewder than playing Porter Junior with
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Shrewder together, because they're both point guards, you know.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure you're getting off of I mean, definitely
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: easier to do double point guards and is to do
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: double centers because we do have a third spot we
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: can play them. But I do agree, I think that
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: it is a little bit tougher there, But for me,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I do have Schroeder and Porter Junior is my two
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: top options.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I just think that Craig for Jr.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Nobody on the slate has as good of upsize he
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: does when he actually gets there, because he does a
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: lot of everything, Like, he's a good, decent enough score,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: he can spike for a ton of assists at times,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: he's a good rebound. We've seen him get close to
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: triple doubles when he fills into these roles, and this
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: is just a great great spot for him. So I
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: have him second. But the way that I'm looking at it,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: like I said with Merrill, Keon, Schroeder and Porter Junior,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of grouping all those guys together. I think
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: there's a chance that you can get to three of them.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: So I'm gonna be max three of that of those.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Oh sorry, what they're proctor in there as well, So
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: it's a max three of Porter Junior, Schroeder, Ellis, and Merrill,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: and then I would put a max two of Alan Mobley.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Nance, and Tom and I think those.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Four guys will are the top four guys that will
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: kind of take over the front court minutes. It's gonna
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: be tough for me to not see one of Mobile
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: or Allen doing good enough even in limited minutes, because
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: the matchup is just so good, Like look what MOBI
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: did against Utah Jazz and thirty minutes plait like eight
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: or was it sixty eight DK points, Like this is
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: a much better matchup than that one against Utah because
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Cleveland or Memphis just has they don't have a real center,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: like it's oh max prosper and he's well undersized. I
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: think MOBII is really really strong here, definitely easier to
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: get there than it is to Jared Allen because they
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: are the center position is pretty strong tonight.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: But I think Mobley's a fantastic option.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: We did come down our saber did come down a
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: little bit on Larry Nance. If you can refresh projections,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: he's down to nineteen point seven right now.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I think they're just kind of.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Giving him a lot, Like the Fantasy port for minute
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: was at like one point one three now it's at
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: point nine to five. It so a little bit more
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: in line with what we had. But yeah, he came
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: down a lot.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: The spread is off here on this game. I'm zeeing too, Like, yeah,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: before I updated it, it was even more off. But
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: as you mentioned, the spread's like thirteen and a half here,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and the team totals here are only like ten ten
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: point nine and a half off, so you're gonna have
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: some discrepancies there.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they got it back to ten now on but
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: that's just I think that's like their own team projection.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, all right, that's way different than the spread itself,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: which is interesting.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they have it like a ten point spread on
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Save River. It's closer to thirteen and a half. So yeah,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: interesting how they do that. Yeah, Memphis side of things
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: is gonna have to I think just wait a little
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: bit to see what the injury report looks like closer
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: to tip off, because, like I said, with Rupair, they
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: could make him inactive, but he's running out of days
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: I think, so you just have to keep an.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Eye on that one.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: But as of now, they have nine guys projected for minutes,
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: so they can spread it out enough to make it
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: a spot where you don't really need to have these
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: guys like we've talked about, I feel like for the
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: past two months with Memphis. But one guy that is
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: interesting to me is Derek Whitehead because he was a
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: guy that was pretty highly regarded coming into the league,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: landed in a pretty bad situation in Brooklyn, didn't really
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: get to develop there, but Memphis did sign him, so
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: I'm expecting pretty big minutes from him the rest of
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: the way, and the usage was pretty solid in his
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: first two.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Games played a time last game.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: I think guys like Gig and such a Coward, Cam
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Spencer o Max are all on play here, but I
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: think that as we get closer to the end, they're
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: probably gonna be playing a lot of these two way
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: guys a little bit more. I really would be lying
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: if I said I knew anything about like Toby o'cannie
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: or Lucas Williamson or Adamo Ball, Like, I don't really
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: know enough about them to talk about them. So I'm
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: just gonna say kind of a max two spot for
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Memphis here, and I think that Derek Whitehead is my
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: favorite option.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: But if you wanted to touch on them.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, Whitehead is my favorite too, But I guess
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I want to throw it back to you, like, how
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: do you compare Whitehead to like the Cleveland Value and
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Kevin Herder, like you know, key on Alice Merrill, Shrewder
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: is obviously a better play but like Alice Merrill, Herd Whitehead.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: How would you rank those guys?
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Uh? You said ls, Whitehead and Herder and Merrill and Meryl.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Merril is my least favorite of for sure. I think
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I have.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Probably hurt Her in Whitehead like one A, one B
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: and then Ellis, So yeah, I think that's probably how
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: I have it. I do like hurt Her a good
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: bit here, but yeah, I'm pretty interested to see what
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Whitehead does tonight.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Well how do you have it? Yep? Can you hear me?
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Lastly, I think my headphones cut out?
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: But right now, how do you have that? The value
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: between those four guys ranked?
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I think I'm also with you. I have Merrill last
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I think I have heard her one Whitehead, two LS
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: three yep, but pretty interchangeable. And I think Merrill again,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: like offensively, if he gets hot, could have the best
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: game of all of them. So I think that they're
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: all in play.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, all right, I mean there's only four games,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: there is five on Fandua and that is a pretty
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: pretty solid game. The Portland and Denver game, Yeah, that one,
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: that one looks pretty good. I'm seeing pretty big ownership
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: on guys like Denny. He's expensive, but I think that's
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: definitely gonna be a game that's gonna be heard from.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: It's just I think you probably still need the value
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: in the Cleveland and Memphis game, and then you can
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: kind of swap in and out the spend ups in
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: that in that last game. I'm not sure if either
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: of those teams are playing for much now. The Blazers are.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I guess they can get up to eight. That would
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: make a difference for sure in the play in. Nuggets
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: can't get up to three, I think, but I'm pretty
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: sure they would.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that they So they are playing for something.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Never mind because actually Houston, Lakers and Nuggets are all
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: like that three to five range and pretty big difference
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: if you go from five to three, because I think
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: then you would avoid Okay, see if I'm not mistaken,
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: I think, Okay, so you would actually prefer to not
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: play Denver as well, So that game will definitely I
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: expect pretty big minutes from the main guys for sure
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: in that one.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but any any closing thoughts.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Did you mention Cam Spencer?
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: I kind of threw him into the group with the
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: like Gigi and such a coward.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: He's not.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I do like him, but maybe a little bit overhamed
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: because he's I really think that his minutes are getting
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: cut down in these types of games.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I have nothing neg go to say about him.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: He is a guy that can go for forty in
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: like twenty minutes, but I think that probably less excited
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: about him tonight than usual.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, it's just like, yeah, I'm I couldn't
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: agree more. It's I feel like he's a better play
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: than like Whitehead, but maybe not because to your point,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: like maybe Memphis does even weirder stuff with their rotation
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: going forward with only a couple of games left, so
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: it's really tough to break down.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, maybe do some Cooper flag work at the Your
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: talk kind of mentioned that a few weeks ago. It
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: was a good time to jump on him when he
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: was like plus I don't know what he was like
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: plus two seventy five or something, but.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: That was kind of last fight.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been killing I think it's the first first
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: teenager to go for forty plus and back to back games,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: and he I think he scored or the youngest player
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: to ever score fifty. I think before that was my guy,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Brandon Jennings. Always been a huge fan of him. But yeah,
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: it's been a while since we had a really young
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: guy go off, so that was.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: That was cool to see.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, totally against an elite defense too, in the Orlando Magic.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah right, but all right, appreciate everybody tuning in.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Matt. Always a pleasure.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Will definitely be doing some more stuff together down the line,
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: but I believe this was our last show together. It
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: just got to double check the calendar, but I'm prettyious
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: the last one. It's always a pleasure talking hoops with you.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Any any closing thoughts here I think is was this
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: your last NBA show? I didn't see you on the
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: schedule the rest of the rest of the week.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I'm honestly not sure, so I'll take your word for it,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: but if so, it was obviously fun. I haven't talked
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: to you yet about the playoffs, so again, maybe we
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: can get on for something there, but until then, it's
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: been fun.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, good luck tonight, everybody, I'll be back with Titletown
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: tomorrow and then the next two days after that, so
• 36:22

• 36:24
  Speaker 3: the week. But yeah, good luck to night everybody if
• 36:25
