  Speaker 1: M HM, all systems going clear, We're lifting.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: What is going on? Everybody?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: We're back Tuesday edition of the NBA Show. Got a nice,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: pleasant surprise, my guy Matt back in the saddle with
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: me today. Had a little change of scheduling, but got
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: my guy back here for at least one more show.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Matt bringing in how you doing today?
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: I'm good, brother.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: I always love talking who to you, even though these
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: slates are pretty gross, but what we're dealing with, it's
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: still fun to talk out some hoops of you.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: We got the playoff coming out soon. How crazy was it?
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: Memphis hit like almost thirty threes last night and still
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: lost by double digits.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty pretty wild stuff there. But yeah, this last week,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: last couple weeks.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Have been pretty wild, seen some crazy stuff going on.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I think last night Slave was actually pretty good in
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the sense that there was a couple games that were
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: pretty close throughout. I guess you kind of got screwed
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: if you played Wemby, but.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: He killed me. My lineups, which are pretty chid. I
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: played two lineups. All my guys were really good, except
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: for Wemby.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: I still snuck into the cash in both my lineups
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: because he was seventy percent owned. But getting off of him,
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, you were in a really good spot. I
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: played embad with him. I wish I had just played EMBIID.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I feel like the process there is
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: so good you can't really you know, injury like that.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: He could have probably finished It sounded like from everything
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I've been hearing, he's not injured, but it's just kind
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: of meaningless.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Game.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Didn't really need him out there, So definitely hurt you
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: if you played him. But say what's up to the
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: few amount of people we have here in chat.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: If you guys are in here, drop a comment, we'll
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: say what's up before we jump in. Should be a
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: pretty quick show. A lot of Shenanigan's going on with
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: these tanking teams.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: So we got our guy Ricky Rose in here, Para Bay.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Let's finish strong, indeed, Michael w I'm sure some other
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: people will trickle in, but just a quick slate overview
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: before we jump in.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: We have.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I believe, like six of the bottom tanking teams in
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: the league on this slate. You got Utah, New Orleans,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Nooran's not really tanking, but they're not really actively trying
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: to win. We have a tank off between Milwaukee and Brooklyn,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: and then Chicago and Washington, and then Indy is also.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: On the slate.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: So this brings a really weird and interesting dynamic to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: this slate in the sense that we are probably gonna
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: see a lot of weird shenanigans and weird rotations going
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: on that kind of so you can get off chalk
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: a little bit more so than than other spots. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: guess we'll try to pinpoint those those spots as we
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: get to it. But a couple of games that are
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: pretty big for the Eastern Conference standings. We have Miami
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: at Toronto. The implications there are if Miami loses one game,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: they will be locked into a play in spot, so
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: they should be playing this game really straightforward. I expect
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: like a seven man rotations high honestly, so I think
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: that's a pretty interesting talking point. And then Charlotte at Boston.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: This game is big for both teams in different ways.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Charlotte is in that big grouping of like five to
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: ten in the East where they could move up or
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: down in these last few games, and then Boston trying
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: to lock on a number two seed, and I think
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: that'll win here against Charlote would help them a ton
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: because they probably want to avoid them in the first
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: round because Charlotte is probably the most dangerous of that
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: like six to ten seeding in the East. But you're
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: going to give your click quick slate overview as a
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: guy that's gonna be playing less line ups than most
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: than jump right in.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a man.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: It's a tough slate because of everything you talked about,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: just a lot of muddy waters in a lot of
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: different spots. I think, like you said, you can definitely
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: get away from some of the chalk. For me, the
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: theme of the slate is just the injuries, guys being
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: out so much value and not even that we have
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: elite spend up options.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: So I think breaking it down is gonna be fun
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: if nothing else, yep.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Before we do that. So it's up to a few
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: more people that trickled in here.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Got a guy n Y Steegele Deacon is here, fade away,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Jose Douglas, Nade always in here, Michael w and Clinton
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Wood eighty three. All right, first game on the slate,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: we have Chicago at Washington. Chicago favored by six here
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: on the road injuries to note, we have Nick Richards,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Anthony Simon's Josh getting Montes bozelis out tonight. I would
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: probably expect them to be done for the year. Definitely,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Josh Katie, it sounds like he'll probably be We probably
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: won't see him again. Maybe Mata suits up one more time.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: But I guess the bigger news is what they signed.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: They fired their GM and their president.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Is that what it was.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I know they made a pretty big shake up in
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: their organization at the top, which is probably something a
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: lot of Bulls fans have been asking for for a while.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: And it sounded like Billy Donovan's probably done after this
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: year as well, but it doesn't really matter for tonight.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: On the Wizard side, Alex are still out ads probably
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: not gonna play for them this year, and then Tristan
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Vuksovich is out tonight. But they do have eleven guys
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I believe projected for minutes. We also have two questional
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: attackers that could tie things up a little bit. Trey
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Johnson is questionable, Jayden Hardy is questionable, so that could
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: thin out the guard rotation for sure. Yeah, the Bull
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: side of things was kind of the kind of the
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: one that I.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Could see being a little.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I could see him doing a couple a couple of
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: things weird in game to kind of tank out a
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: little bit, because just pulling up the tank of thon
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: stuff real quick. Chicago is ninth right now with twenty
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: nine wins. Milwaukee place tonight they have thirty one wins.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Pretty big difference going from nine to ten in terms
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: of getting.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: A top four overall pick.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: You go from twenty point three percent to fourteen percent
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: going from nine to ten, and Chicago is favorite here.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: But I mean this, they could definitely throw out some
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: of these really bad guys that they have, like Yuki Kawamura,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Mac mcclong.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Old Brick, like Rob Dillingham.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: They have enough bad guys that they could really tank
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: it up here, and they also have enough good guys
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: that they could probably win this game handedly. So I
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: would say, what do you plan to do with those guys?
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Because they are one of the top chalk spots on
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: the on the slate and it's obviously a really good
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: spot against Washington.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you bring it very interesting dynamic. I mean, like
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: on paper, I think you just want.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: To play the Bulls because they project really well. They're
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: not priced forgetting to be out and they're facing Washington.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: But all of a sudden, like you talk about out,
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: they do some funky stuff.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: It's not like the Bulls that you want to play
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: are super cheap. They're just too cheap for Giddy to
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: be out.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: You need full run from a sixty three hundred dollars Sexton,
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: a sixty nine hundred dollar Tray Jones, who if you
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: get full run, look like great plays. But man, that
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: makes me a little bit cautious, not gonna lie. How
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: could it not because they want to lose this game.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: That six percent is massive. I don't think they lose
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: this game, And I don't know. It's really tough to
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: know exactly how these teams are gonna play on a
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: game to game basis. But on paper, the Bulls look great.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: The Wizards are much harder to get to in my opinion,
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: But the Bulls Sexton, Miller, Trey Jones, I mean Dillingham like.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: With no giddy.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: These guys are just too cheap. So yaboo, I'm fine
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: with pretty much any bowl. You want to make a
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: case for the Wizards, I'm out on when the best
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: looking guy and the guy getting the most ownership.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Anthony Gill I'm out.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: No interest in Julian Reice for you at five? Was
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: he five point five k tonight?
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: And that's a real tag, Like, I guess some interest,
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: but we got him projected for like almost twenty eight
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: fantasy points. I think you want more sabers and projected
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: for twenty four fantasy points.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Clearly you want more. I think he's just a guy.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think I might have a little bit.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we'd like to play big man against the balls,
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I also think that he could play a ton
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Like he's the guy that could see playing like upper
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: thirties minutes and these tank off games. He's done really
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: well against these bad teams, like the Jazz had two
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: really big games against some I'm kind of in on
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Julian ree a little bit, but I think that you
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: make some good points, like he's not as cheap as
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: he was when he was playing Utah when he was
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: like thirty four hundred.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: But even if you took that score what he had
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: that night at this price, like I think you'd be
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: okay with it.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Oh that Utah game, Yeah, oh yeah, clearly, but like
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: as he come close to matching that, since.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: He did good against Brooklyn forty four at fifteen you
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: take that too easily. Yeah, So, I mean it's good
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: to know that he does have that up that upside.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I think that they will probably play him a good
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: bit with Vuksovic out so I'm okay with Julian Reize. Honestly,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I think I like him better than some of the
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: other centers in that range that we'll talk about. I mean,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Will Riley at sixty eight hundred, that's crazy. I don't
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: think I can do that, even with how well he's
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: played lately.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I just don't. I can't do that.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: That's your man's what do you mean?
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I hate that I'm associated with him, but he has
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: he has kind of given it to me these past
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks. He I don't think that he's maybe
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: not as bad as I gave him credit for.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: He has looked pretty good.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: But that's just sixty eight hundred is insane for him.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: On the bulls, I.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Think Leonard Miller is probably my favorite of fifty one hundred,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: and then I would probably just take a shot on
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: like Rob Dillingham at lower ownership than Trade Jones.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I believe he's lower owned.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would, I would take a shot in Rob
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Dillingham of forty one hundred over Trade Jones over Collinsex
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: and personally probably wouldn't. I don't think I would want
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: to get there on like McClung or Yuki, But I
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: think Dillingham is gonna have a real role in the
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: in the offense, and sixty nine hundred for Trade Jones
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: big tag for him payoff.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Sixty three hundred for Sexton is a pretty big tag
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: for him to pay off.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: I don't even think like a good game from Sexton
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: might not be enough, like forty on the slate might
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: not be enough because there are a couple spots. I
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: think that guy is gonna put up a ton of points.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I'm probably lower on the guys that are getting ownership
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: on the Bulls minus Leonard Miller.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Do like Dillingham, I would.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Set some rules for sure for this situation. I would
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: be max two of Trey Jones, Rob Dillingham, Yuki Kawamura
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: and Mac McClung. And that would be a MAX two
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: of Leonard Miller, Yabu, Patrick Williams and Oldbrick. You can
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: honestly just be Max one of Olbrick and Yabu and
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Max one of Miller and Patrick Williams, and that would
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: probably be enough to get you a little bit different there.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I think Sexton's kind of in any grouping, but I'm
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: not as high on him as the field is.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I like the Dillingham call because it's like to
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: get the ownership discount, you also get the price tag discount,
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: so like you're getting a completely different build, you're getting
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: the same exposure to the spot that people are getting
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: to with the expensive, more expensive guys. So I definitely
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: think Dillingham makes a ton of sense in almost any
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: aspat because I think he gets good run in any
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: type of game script.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: But to the points that you mentioned, he's kind of that.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: Like perfect fit there because he's good enough to be
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: productive from a DFS perspective, but bad enough where like
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: you can still easily tank with him, you know what
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, Like he's not an NBA player, but he's
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: can be productive from a DFS perspective.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Yep, definitely.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: All right, We'll jump into the next game here, Minnesota
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: at Indiana Pacers. Injury stuff in this one, and and
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Jada McDaniels are out for Minnesota and that's pretty much it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: And then for the pacers siakam, Nie Smith, TJ. McConnell,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Andrew and Nemhart are all out as well as the
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: guy that's the guys that have been missing all season,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: and then we have questional at tags on Jarris Walker
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: and Ben Shephard. Interested to see what the starting lineup
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: looks for Indy here, but I think this is definitely
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: a spot where we can get to I would definitely
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: expect I'm expecting Quinton Jackson, Kobe Brown, and Jay Huff
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: for sure three of the starters, and then if Walker
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: is healthy enough to play, he'll probably start. And then
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: that fifth starter could be it could be like Jalen
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Slots and it could be Ethan Thompson. I feel like
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: those are two guys that make the most sense. But
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: maybe Ben Sheppard fe's healthy. But yeah, a really good
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: spot for the Minnesota offense here, going to getst a
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: really short handed team that's been giving up a ton
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: of points as of lates. I think that you got
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: to have interest in these Minnesota guys with a pretty
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: solid team total, but I'll let you touch on them.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: What are you seeing in this Minnesota Wolves side of things?
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's basically all Minnesota for I mean,
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: they're in the great spot. No aunt Julius Randall eighty
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: six hundred, just productive. I'm a Randall guy at heart,
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: so yeah, I think, like again, he looks good, especially
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: if you're not playing like the sixteen hundred dollar Trey
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Jones and the sixty three hundred dollars Sexton, you have
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: a little more money to spend.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: He looks good.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: To Soon MoU, I think looks like a real interesting
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: pivot off of Trey Jones at the same price tag.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: You can obviously playing both together. Nas reed, He's gonna
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: have a nice role. I mean, Gobert should smash when
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: he's on the court. I don't see much from India
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: that I like, but I think again, anything from Minnesota
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: looks good. Their main pieces, I think at their tags.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: To Soon MoU is my favorite. Then Randall then probably read.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: But I think bones at fifty three hundred Stevencenzo is
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: now really cheap. Gotta like Minnesota.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Here, yep, I agree with that. I think I have
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: at ranked the same. I do like Io the best here.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: We've seen just some really really good ceiling from him,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: shooting guards small for it eligible is definitely good. On
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: this type of slate, So I like that call there, and.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I'm with you on Randall.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: He should definitely have success. I just wonder if it's
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: going to be enough to be viable, because like a
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: good game is probably mid to upper forties from him.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they're going to need him to
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: go for like sixty here in a game that they should.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Win pretty handedly.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I do think Bones is an interesting pivot off some
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: of the other Chalky guards that will be talking about
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: in a little bit and some of the guards in
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: the last game.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: He's played really well.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: A lot of positive coach speak from a Finch about him,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: so he's definitely in a good spot.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: It's a tough man because he's clearly dealing with the
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: shoulder injury. It's really impacted his shooting, just not shooting
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: the ball well right now. US has just been good,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: playing good minutes, but just shooting the ball really really
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: poorly right now. Pacer side of things, I think you
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: gotta just wait and see who the starting lineup is.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: This is kind of one I would probably side with projections.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I think Quinton Jackson seeing him get to twenty nine.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: It's last game was very encouraging, so I'm in on him.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I think Kobe Brown is kind of safe in any
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: sort of game script. He could do a little bit
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: ball handling. He could, you know, play just a wingspot.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be out there for a ton of minutes.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I like him.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I think Michael Potters for sure and play at four
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: point one k with the power forward eligibility OBI topping
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: same thing. And then I'll definitely keep an eye on
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Jill and Slosson if he's starting. I think that he
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: could play a good bit and he's the guy that
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: can kind of fill up the statute.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I liked his game.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I definitely have watched him pretty closely the last few weeks.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: He looks like a pretty solid player. So definitely a
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: way to see what Indy looks like in the sewing
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: lamp and then kind of go from there.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: I guess my biggest problem with Indy is like I
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: just like other guys more. You know, New Orleans guys
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: will get to talked about, like Dillingham. The bulls look
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: good Minnesota. I just think I have the pacers lower down,
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: but they are cheap and you know, they're shorthanded enough,
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: and I could see a couple of those guys getting
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: their no doubt.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that they're probably the.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Second worst spot of or maybe like the third worst
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: spot of these teams that will be thin.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I'll probably put Milwaukee and Brooklyn a little bit behind them,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: But like the Utah New Orleans game is really appealing,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: the Washington Chicago game is very appealing. Then I would
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: probably say India's right there. All right, we can jump
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: into this next one. Here, the game with probably the
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: most implications, and I could see really really tight rotations
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: on both sides. You're for sure on the Miami Miami
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: side of things, but these teams will be playing each
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: other twice this week. Could definitely shake up the landscape
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: of the East Raptors or two games ahead of the
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Heat right now, and I think the Heat cannot afford
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: to lose one game the rest of the way. They
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: do have a pretty soft schedule outside of the Raptors.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I think they'll be playing these games pretty straight up.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: But they've got Washington on Friday and then Atlanta on Sunday,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: so it's okay, not great. We'll see if Atlanta is
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: playing for anything on Monday. But yeah, this is definitely
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: a a spot where I'm pretty in on the Miami guys,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: just because I think they're gonna be playing so many minutes.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: The Raptors will have questionable tags on a menual quickly
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Calmary boils he can't seem to stay healthy, and then
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Sandra is also questionable. So they could be a little
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: bit thinner but still have enough depth where they could
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: run out a good probably like eight to ten guys tonight.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Miami's really not been playing great defense as of late.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Toronto has been pretty good, but I think that they've
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: had a much weaker schedule than Miami has. Toronto is
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: two to zero, and the head to head match against
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Miami talked about all the time with them. I'm just
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: not really a believer in them. I think Miami could
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: definitely pull away with this one. I just respect them
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: a little bit more, like their coach better, like their
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: overall talent a little bit better. But Bam, I think
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: that he's one of my favorite spend ups tonight. I
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: wish that he still had the power forward eligibility, but
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I really do think that he's gonna be playing like
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: forty regulation minutes tonight. It's just a matter of whether
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: or not he's getting there. I think the matchup is
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: fine if it is him against Purdle. If not, he'll
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: probably be Barns, which is a tougher spot for him.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: But I think he's just gonna play so many minutes
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: that he has to be a really strong play. And
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I think you could say the same for Tyler Hero depends.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: If Scotty Barnes is on BAM, then that would probably
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: leave here with a softer matchup, but he's also gonna
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: play a ton Even with Norman Powell back, I think
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: that he'll probably be playing close to forty here. Norm
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: I would expect to be limited been dealing with some
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: injuries lately, so that should get guys like Caught, Kas
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Wiggins and probably Larson enough minutes to be viable. But
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: in comparison to some of the other value plays, I'm
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: not too excited about that.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Toronto is just a spot.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I don't really see myself going as much of probably
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: just a Max two and I'll just let these guys
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: kind of feel in wherever they do. I don't really
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: like the spot for Barnes or Ingram in particular. I
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: think the spot's a little bit better for Barrett, but
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: between those three guys, he definitely has the least amount
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: of upside. I would say, well, yeah, what are you
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: what are you looking at this game? Miami at Toronto?
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: Pretty solid, total solid, total, solid game because you're gonna
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: get tight rotations, but still like tough to prioritize a
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: ton from it because of the price, Like all the
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: guys you want are expensive.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: So the two guys that stand out are the Miami
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: guys Bam and Hero. I guess Barnes also, but man,
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: when he gets over nine k like this with some ownership,
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: I'm never excited to play Barnes. Bam is the guy
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: I'm with you. I wish he had powerful or yeah,
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: I wish he had power for eligibility, but it's gonna
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: play so many minutes here, and even if the spot
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: isn't amazing on paper, if Barnes you know, is on him,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: like he should just still get there from volume. So
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: he's shown upside too. He looks like the best piece.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Of this game.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: And then Hero, uh you mentioned it. Powe being limited
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: helps him. It helps everyone, but it helps him. So
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: I'm in on the two heat guys spend up options.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: The other guys are all in play. It's just fringe,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: multi entry type guys and then the Raptors, you know,
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: kind of have to wait to see how the dust
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: settles with their questionable guys. But as of now, there
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: isn't like one guy i'd probably be prioritizing. I think
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Barnes looks the best, but he's the most expensive, so I.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Don't think you have to roster anyone from Toronto.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I think i'd agree with you there.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I think the Quickly q teg is pretty big for
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Scotti Barnes too, because we've seen his potential assists just
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: kind of been going crazy the last few weeks, and
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: I think that he'll definitely pick up a lot more
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: ball handling if Quickly is out.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of one.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: I'd be going back to Barnes if Quickly does miss,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: if he's in a little bit less excited about Toronto
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: as a whole.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: It's a good call, all right.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: The next game fun one to talk through. Milwaukee at
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Brooklyn does not have nearly as good as a team
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: or a game told as these other teams that we'll
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: be talking about or games we have already talked about.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: But two hundred and twenty over under Milwaukee's favored by
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: two and a half here looking at the tanking standings.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Like I said, Milwaukee is a tenth seed. Brooklyn is
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: third right now. Kind of looking to hold off Utah
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: and Sacramento right now because there are two games ahead. Yeah,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I just Brooklyn's a mess. But yeah, these teams are
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: you got to be in play because they're pretty thin.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: I think the Bucks side is probably a little bit
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: better than the net side of things, but out tags
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: on Bobby Portis, Gary Trent, Ryan Rawlins, Kyle Kuzma, Kevin Porter, Junior,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Molestern and Jannis. A lot of inner turmoil going on
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: in Milwaukee right now. I just saw a report about
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Doc Rivers kind of calling out Kevin Porter, Junior and
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Ryan Rawlins, and then Kyle Kuzma stood up for them,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: and then he got DNP the very next game. There's
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: all the weird stuff going on with Giannis as well.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: So it's just bad time to be a Bucks fan
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: right now. But the Bucks who have ten guys projected
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: to get minutes here with just a handful of those
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: going to the Antetokoupo brothers. We have the Nassis and
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Alex again like five to seven each the nets have
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: ruled out Zayer Williams, Noah Clowney, Nick Klaxon, and Terrence Mann,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: but they have eleven guys projected for minutes. I'll pass
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: some one over to you and just kind of get
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: your thoughts. Be a good luck talking through this one.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Milwaukee at Brooklyn.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's almost like the shrug emoji, like I don't
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: exactly know where to go, but there obviously are guys
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: that gonna look good in the spot just because both
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: teams stink, so no good defenses. You got a lot
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: of turnovers likely here Oushman Dang looks like the best
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: player on this on the slate from this game pricey
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: at seventy two hundred, but he's been good projects really well.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: I'm in on Dang here. This slave does seem like
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: more of a mid tier type of slate. He fits
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: that build, So I'm in there. Andre Jackson, AJ Green,
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: the Cormack Ryan, They're all in play, Pete Nantz all
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: in play.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Sims.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: They got enough guys where like I think for me,
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Dang is the only like priority players of right now.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: But I got no issues with any of those other
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: guys from the Brooklyn side, Ohio State legend AJ Liddell.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I always had high hopes for him in the NBA.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: He tore his ACL like in training camp of his
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: rookie year, and I think that really delayed and messed
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: up his career. But he's talented offensively, he projects well
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: a thirty five hundred.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: He's another value piece.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: I don't know if he gets the ownership that we're
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: projecting right now, but I think he's definitely in play.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Cheney Johnson, Trey or Jalen Wilson. Like these guys are
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: looked like fine filler plays. I'm not excited about any
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: of them, but unfortunately, I think we're gonna want a
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: need exposure to this game.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: How do you see it breaking down?
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Definitely think Dan is the best option on the buck
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: side of things. Really strong role from him. He was
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: kind of closing in on triple double. Was it two
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: games ago I believe, or was it no, that was
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: against Houston.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Played forty five minutes in that game.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's like, he's a good player for sure.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: He's just kind buried in the depth chart with oka
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: See for such a long time, but he's definitely a
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: solid player. After him, I would probably look at this
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Cormack Ryan guy, I don't know much about him, but
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: he looks like a guy that is a decent shooter
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: and shows real usage on offense thirty six and a
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: half DK points against Houston, forty one against Memphis, So
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I think that he's probably the next guy would look to.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: And then like sprinkling in the Nancy's Simms, AJ Green,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Prince Andrew Jackson, those guys should all play enough to
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: be viable. I just don't It's a low team total,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: so I don't think you need to go overboard with
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: exposure there. And then Brooklyn I don't even know. Treyori
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: is probably their most talented player on the roster right now,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: but he's I guess a little bit expensive for the
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: slate because there's a lot of really good guards. But
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: he did have a really good game last time out.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Usage was very strong. Yeah, I don't know they're going
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: to be splitting these center minutes or the front court
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: minutes between Josh Man not Cheney Johnson and e j Lddell.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: I would probably say Liddell is.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: My favorite because he's the cheapest, but you don't really
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: need cheap on the slate. We just need like raw
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: points because Tatum is the most expensive guy.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it. Honestly, I keep going back.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: To the Bulls guys like it makes it hard not
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: to play those guys because, like, I don't know, I know,
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: you're lower on them, but it does seem like such
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: a row points type of slate. And if the Bulls
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: played straight up, it's hard to see those guys not
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: getting there. But you know, there are there good spots.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: We've talked on Minnesota, Indiana. It's easy to see a
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: bunch of these spots getting there.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I guess Jalen Wilson another guy that has been viable
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: in the past. He's probably gonna play it enough to
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: be in plate tonight at three point nine K. I
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: don't think he's very good, but he's cheap. Again, don't
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: really need cheap, we just need raw points. I think
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: you just need to be focusing on guys that have
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: like really high ceilings. I guess like a cheap center
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: against Milwaukee probably does so that it would have to
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: put Liddell in play. But yeah, I mean this is
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: a lower just a lower game totals. I think you
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: could probably get upside elsewhere. I do like dang a
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: little bit on the Milwaukee side though. All right, jump
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: into the next one. Charlotte ad Boston. I think this
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: will be a really fun game to watch. These teams
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: have split their season series. This will be the third
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: game that they've played, and both teams each got a
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: blowout win. The These are the top two and top
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: three offenses in the NBA over the last two weeks.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: Both teams are really high volume three point offenses, so
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: this game is gonna be all about shooting variants who
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: can get there on better three point variants. I don't
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: think the Hornets guys projected great right now, but that
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: could change a little bit because Kobe White is questionable.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Doesn't seem like a really big thing because he's a
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: bench guy, but we have seen him take away minutes
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: from guys like con and Miller and Ball at different times,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: so that would for sure tying things up a little bit.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: And this is a pretty big game. I really every
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: game from here on out for the Hornets is really big,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: but this is one where if they're winning, they're gonna
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: need to play their guys a lot of minutes.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: It's not really a game that you could run away with.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Even though they did bull him out last time. But
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: I think you could definitely make a case for LaMelo,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Brandon Miller, and Kahn. I think those are only three
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: I'm really considering tonight. I think Bridge is probably a
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: little bit capped for upside on this type of slate,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: and same thing for Mussa Diabate probably getting better scores
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: from some other cheaper centers from a points per dollar standpoint.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: But I do think LaMelo and Brandon, Miller and Connor
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: very firmly in play.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: And then for Boston, I feel like it's pretty straightforward.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: It's just one of Tatum or Jalen Brown worth noting
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: that they are fully healthy tonight. They get usrevit sorry
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: the Kola vuksovit's back, yeah, and they've nobody else listened
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: on the injury report, so they'll be fully healthy tonight.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: So kind of takes off a little bit of the
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: upside of Kita, but he's been playing so great. But
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: I think it's really just Jalen Brown or Tatum for
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: me on the the Boston side of things.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: But how are you seeing? This one?
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Not a super appealing game total only two twenty one,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: but we do know that these are two pretty high
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: pots and offenses.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough because you don't have a great total.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: And again another game where the guys you really want
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: to play are expensive.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: But because now the slate plays out, like I.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: Could see flipping the bill a little bit and instead
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: of playing a lot of the good mid tier, which
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: I think gets a lot of the ownership the Bulls guys, Lushman, Dang,
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: you know, Bam on the higher end, like maybe flipping
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: it and playing Dillingham some of the pacers value and
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: then spending up here. This is really the only spot
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: to spend up up on multiple spots outside of Miami Toronto.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: Kind of so LaMelo like he can get there in
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: any spot. I don't like love him on paper here,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: but he's got upside of that tag. And then obviously
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: the two Boston guys con at sixty five hundred, I
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: think you can make tournament cases for a lot of
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: these guys, would like Charlotte Moore if Kobe why it's out,
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: But other than that, I don't think they stand out
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: in really anyway.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely see that. I don't know. For me.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: The first thing when I looked at the slave was like,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I just want to start with one of Tatum or
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Brown and then bam and then just choose my favorite
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: value plays. So I don't know, it's just we have
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: a ton of values. I think it's pretty easy to
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: get to these spend ups here. But yeah, I think
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I do like your idea of flipping the build a
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: little bit. This is definitely a game I could see
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: going over it's projected game total, so like a little
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Lamello with one of Tatum or Brown back and forth
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I mean this this
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: game feels pretty straightforward. There's not a ton to really
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: talk through. It's just the the starters really, so we
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: can jump into the last game when the Slave and
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: then maybe we could circle back to the Washington stuff
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: because they did rule out Jaden Hardy and Trey Johnson.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: But we have the.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Utah Jazz taken on the New Orleans Pelicans as was
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: it twelve and a half point road dog sorry, down
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: to ten and a half now two hundred and forty
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: three and a half over unduring this game, the Jazz
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: will be without E. J. Harkless, Conte George is a caller,
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: and then as Bailey was downgraded to doubtful Kyle phil
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Kowski was upgraded to probable. On the Pelican side of things,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: no Trey Murphy, no Dejonte Murray, no Carlo Mkovic, and
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: then he's Missy and Jordan Hawkins are both questionable, one
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: with the ni illness, another one.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: With the right hands brain.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: These Pelicans got priced up a ton really the cheaper
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: guys that we were playing, like Fears and Missy, but
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Zion's still cheap. Bay's got a little bit of a
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: price increase. But I mean this is a really really
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: good spot for them. They're not really playing for much.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: But they also it doesn't really matter whether or not
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: they win or lose because they don't own their picks.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: I think that they could just play their guys straight
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: up here and probably come away with a pretty easy win.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: But definitely a lot to talk through. On the Jazz
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: side of things, I could touch on them real quick
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: and they'll kick it over to you. For the Pelicans,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: but I'm expecting a nine to a man rotation tonight
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: on the Jazz. We saw Sphe get back into into
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: the rotation, but they have Blake Kinson called up from
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: the G League, so I would not be surprised if
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: if Fee is back out and they'll just run another
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: eight man rotation. As far as who starts, we know
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: that it'll be at least three these three guys, Cody Williams,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Sens the Ball, and Philipowski. Then it's kind of a
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: question mark of who it's going to be between. They
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: need a point guard, so probably be one of Chandler
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: or Bez Bang who they just signed to a two
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: year deal. And then it'll be between Oscar Sheebwey and
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: John Contrary I believe.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: For that last spot.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: I mean we're gonna have really really big roles coming
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: from Philip Hoals Game, Bryce Sense the Boss. They're my
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: two favorite, two of my favorite minier options on the Slakes.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: It's a good matchup.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: But the downside for both of them is that I
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: could see minutes getting cut here a little bit. We've
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: seen Flip like even games he's doing really well in
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: his minutes are not that secure because he could just
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: be doing a little bit too well while the game
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: is close. Like we saw him against what was a
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: game I think it was the Cleveland game. He had
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: like fifty DK points in twenty four minutes and didn't
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: play like the last fourteen minutes of the game. So
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: things like that can definitely happen here a little bit
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: tougher with how thin they are, but sense of Ball,
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: he's going to be just crazy usage in the first unit.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: He'll be shooting the ball a ton. I think it's
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: a great matchup for him.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I like Contra a bit here at four point AK,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: sewing that he can fill up the stat sheet. I
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: think Cody Williams is kind of sneaky at five point
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: AK because he's kind of like insulated regardless of game
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: game flow. I think he'll be in there in a
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: blow out, he'll be there in the close game. And
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: then Blake Hinton, I think is pretty strong at three K.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: He's showing to be a really good shooter and probably
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: gonna be getting some small ball center minutes as well.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: So those are the guys that I'm looking to. But
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: I think that you could definitely make a case to
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: be a little bit underweight on one of Philipowski or
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: sense of Ba because they'll be getting a ton of
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: ownership in single anduria for a good reason. But there's
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: the minutes are not as secure as as we may think. Yeah,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: if you want to touch on the Pelicans, side here.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: They look really good. Obviously great matchup. Yea, what have
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: you seen on the Pells?
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: First off? Who do you like more?
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: I guess different price points.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say dilling Ham or Hinson, but completely
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: different price points and positions.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: But do you have a take there?
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: I like Hinson?
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that he's like a just an overall
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: better per minute guy and doing him is like potentially
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: one of the worst players in the NBA.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fair. I do think that.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: Like do you think playing san Sama and Philipowski together
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: makes sense? Like we're not playing either of them? Like,
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: or do you think one of them could get caught
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: back and the other one not? Like would you be
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: more apt to play one of them and.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Not the other?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: How do you view that situation?
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I was trying to think through that as I was talking,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: and I don't really know if I have a clear answer.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: I feel like, if you are gonna fade one, it
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: would probably be Philipowski because his minutes are all over
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: the place and Will Hardy is really tough on him
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: when he's not playing defense, which is a majority of
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: the time.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I would probably.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Be a little bit lower on Philipalski than projected ownership
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: is showing. I think sense of all is fine regardless
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: because they need some somebody to score the ball, and
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: he's the number one option now that Ace is out.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: Cool, That's that's kind of how I see it. Yeah,
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: I like this game a ton. The New Orleans guys
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: have been priced up, so they're no longer must plays.
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: Man Zion, That forty point projection's pretty hefty for how
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: he's played. Not gonna lie, like, I mean, when's the
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: last time he hit forty. I'm gonna look right now,
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: it's been a minute, a minute, and that's forty. Like
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: his price tag has now risen a little bit for
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: what reason? Like he's I mean, I don't know, Like
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: I struggle to get there with him, Like he just
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: never gets there. And we know that he's got upside
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: because we've seen it a ton in the past, but
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: in his current form, like, I don't know how you
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: play him over Sadik Bay, who's five hundred less personally,
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Like that projection just seems wrong to me. Maybe I'm
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: off here, but I don't think you have to play
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: anything from New Orleans except for Fears, who I think
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: looks really good, even at the more expensive price tag.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: Him sense about Philipowski. I like a ton in this spot.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: This game should be, you know, really really appealing and
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: has a ton of upside from a DFS perspective. So
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: I like all those guys. I think you can go
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: to a bunch of the other pieces in this game.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: I'm seeing Mike Apevi at thirty five hundred project well
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: some places, so like, yeah, I think a bunch of
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: this game is gonna get exposure and should so I
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: like it a lot. I think he broke down Utah
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: really well. I don't have any different takes there. So
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: ultimately this looks like probably the most appealing game on
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: the slate, even with a bunch of other games that
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: are also appealing New Orleans less so because of their
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: price tags.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: That Utah looks really really good.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm all in on Fearce tonight for sure.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I really like him here. Just the minutes have been there.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: He's playing really well, great matchup, Like he checks all
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: the boxes here at six point one K. I'm really
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: in on Fierce Tonight. Didn't hear you talk about Dear Queen.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I feel like this is a really good spot for him.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Especially if Missy were to miss.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: But I think.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Regardless, I think we're gonna see yeah, because remember we
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: talked about it. I think maybe was it last Wednesday
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: or last Thursday where we talked about the Pelicans They're
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: gonna start playing their younger guys, Like this feels like
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: the spot to do it.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: So would you be off of like the Zion and
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Bays of the world.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: I personally would.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: The problem is you can't do that was like every
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: spot on the slate, you know what I mean?
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's true.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: It just feels like there's no reason for them to
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: play these guys a lot, like they're not they're playing
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: for nothing. And Zion's kind of like always an injured guy.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Hasn't done much ever really this season, but he had
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: like a couple of games where he put up must
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: have scores. Then I think Babe maybe a little bit
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: tougher to fade because he's still playing a lot of minutes.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: But I think you could definitely make the case to
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: be underweight on those guys and then just over on
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: all the young guys like the Queen Fears and PV.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: And like Bay is extensive enough where he's far from
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: a must play anyways, you know what I mean?
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, still needs you still needs to go for like
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: forty five.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: Right, like, which is real good for him, Like you'll
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: take forty but like you know, he's seventy one hundred,
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: he's got a real tag.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but all in all, I think it's a
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: tough game to avoid. I guess we can just circle
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: back quickly because we got through this slate pretty fast.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: But this Washington side, they now have nine guys I
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: believe projected for minutes when you take out Jaden Hardy
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: and Trey Johnson. So definitely I don't even know, man,
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: I like who who even who gets a bump there?
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Like obviously the bub Carrington's and Cooper's and Watkins. I
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: guess like maybe Leaky Black now is in play. At
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: his price tag's pretty expensive, Like these guys have been
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: playing a ton of minutes this season, so they're no
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: longer really cheap. I don't really know if these if
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: you really even like need to get these Washington guys,
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: maybe if they started Sharif Cooper at three point nine
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: k would be something I have interest in.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: It's hard to kind of put together thoughts for this
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: one without having time to research it. But what are
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: you just initial thoughts on the uh Trey Johnson and
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Jayden Hardy out tags.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: They are really really shallowed now, like what do they
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: only have nine guys?
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: They do have price tags, but like, man, hard to
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: see a couple of guys not getting there. It's a
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: really good spot. Your boy Rees looks better now just
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: because of the minutes. All these guys are gonna play
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: a ton, even Riley Bob Carrot, Like, yeah, I don't
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: think anyone's a must play here. You get Cooper starting,
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: he would look the best. But hard to just avoid them,
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: you know in single line, in single entry type stuff,
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: you certainly can avoid them. But like in multi entry stuff,
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: I think they have a definite role now.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I would also not be.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Surprised if like Cool Balle and Champagnee play like eighteen
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: to twenty minutes a piece, So there's definitely more same
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: minutes to go around than we are probably projecting right now.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: I would you probably say the same for Carrington, Like
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be playing leaky Will Riley Reese.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: It's a good spot for Washington.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely a good spot here, so they definitely
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: got a lot stronger.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you. I don't think you need
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: to keep Black at five point seven K, but will
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Riley a little bit, a little bit.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: More enticing now at six point AK. I just even
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: at the price tag, you kind of have to like
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: overlook it just because it's a different time of year.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: But he's gonna play a lot. I like Watkins though.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I think he's a guy that can filp the statute
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: enough to be viable shooting guard. Small for it, five
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: by two is fine for him, and then Cooper. I
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: would definitely keep an eye on there, but Julian Ree
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: is still my favorite option on Washington.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I get it. I think they're all play now
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: though for sure.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Yep, all right, that is gonna do it.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: The DraftKings only gave us these six games, thankfully, but
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: the other ones will have projections and stuff up for
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: showdown stuff as always. For that last game in slable
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: should be a fun when Houston at Phoenix, that game
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: does have a good amount of implications as well. If
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken, I just want to pull up the
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: standings one more time. I think those teams what we
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: got here? Well, I guess Houston trying to get to
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: that three spot still possible, but Suns are pretty locked
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: in where they're at, but close spreads like game should
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: be a lot of fun. I'll definitely consider dabbling in
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: some showdown stuff, but appreciate you guys tuning in. Be
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: back tomorrow with Title Town for Wednesday and Thursday, and
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Matt be back on Friday. Oh yeah, good luck and
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: everybody see you later.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Let me stay
