  Speaker 1: Systems going clear, you lift.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: On what's going on? Everybody, Happy Tuesday? Ready to talk
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: some five game NBA slates before we get into anything.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: First things first, Happy Veterans Day if you are a
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: vet's current military service anything, very very thank you much
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: awful English, but thank you very much for your service.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Everything you guys do, lay down your life. The true heroes.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: So I wanted to say that we got Sean in here,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: we got little Neck, Denny Romey, Ramo, Ramo wins a lot,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Jason Turner, Michael w Rob g, kid Line and Jordan
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: appreciate everyone hanging out again like Bun subscribe button. Oh
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: we asked for Rio bringing in Hebrew cheet at one
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: of the best. Usually you will see him above you
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: on the leader board. How are we doing today on
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: this Tuesday?
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Doing great?
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Happy Veterans Day to everybody that has served and
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: is serving right now. I appreciate your sacrifice for our
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: country for sure. Yeah, doing pretty well though. Yesterday it
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: was probably the most exciting day in NBA this season.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: I mean there's so many game winners in close games,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: a couple overtimes, a lot of really big time performances.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Think one that probably got overlooked. Was my guy Ace
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Bailey get the start and had a pretty sick dunk
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: over Aunt last night towards the end of the game.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: That was if you haven't seen it, go watch that
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: because I was a crazy dunk, like a little reverse
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: jam over ant. Very impressive. But yeah, this late is interesting,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I guess to say the least, it's I don't know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: two games that looked pretty good and a bunch of
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: other ones that looked just okay.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: How do you like this slate?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Not much? I mean I do like the hour and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: a half window. After that, it's it's all over, So
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that part I enjoy. In terms of it, yeah, I mean,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: like you're talking about your boy Ace Bailey, he's in
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: play a little bit Boston Philly. The Boston stuff will
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: be Chalky, some Brooklyn, some Utah. Like you said, it condenses.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: It feels like so a five gamer. It feels almost
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: even smaller than a five gamer. But I mean you
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: get two late swaps three technically that's not always my favorite.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. I don't love this slade either,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to be honest, any broad Slate overview anything you you
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: want to talk about. I mean, we're sharing sabersim our
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: partner optimized over here, just sorting by salary, two players
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: above ten K Shane and Maxy. Sorting by ownership, you
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: have five K Flapowski, nem Hard, nurkicch Clowney. So that's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: looking like the chalk anything besides, just like it seems
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: like a condensed slate for teams wise that we're targeting.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Uh No, I mean, I would just say that at
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: this point of the season and we're starting to get
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: some actionable data from these teams, start to get a
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: little bit more of like a larger sample. So I
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: think that this is kind of where us at Shiba
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Nation for sure, is start to kind of find our footing. Yes,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I'm excited to just play more NBA DFS, I guess,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: and see how we can do the rest of the season.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's get into it. I'm Rice is in here,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Scooter's in here. Take down William. Yeah, Michael, you're right.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: The Packers freaking stink. Rio's Patriots though, absolutely do not stink.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: And yeah, yesterday's late, we're talking. Ace Bailey definitely got overshadowed.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, kid stole the show for sure, but d
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Mitch Kanka nipple. I mean, come on, man, con is
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the freaking man. We talk about it every Tuesday. But yeah,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: it's it's a fun time in the NBA, There's no
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: doubt about it. A lot of young stars. We'll get
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: into the first game of the night though, again like Bun,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: subscribe helps us out a ton. Actually, I'll say right
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: up top, you can see five days for nineteen bucks
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: using the coach ship nineteen no better time to get
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: in rio. Like he says, is season goes on. The
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: more dada you get even better. The slate playing gets
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: because you can use this year's stuff over last. No
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: one dives in deeper. You get him on the core
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: report as well with Ed Ballman one of the better
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: players out there. Got Matt and Ham. I'm on the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: cash report the Stone of course, like we have for
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: all sports and Little Neck does our slate plan Monday
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: through Friday for Showdown good prizes there is to definitely
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: check that out. First game of the nights. Let me
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: zoom in the Memphis Grizzlies and the New York Knicks.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I have to pull up DraftKings for the over under
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and the spread. But for the injury report, we have
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: nothing on the Memphis side to worry about. Mitch rob
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: is questionable. For the Knicks. It's looking at about two
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty one according to Saber him about eight point favorites.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: But again, I don't have DraftKings up yet. Take it
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: away Rio, Nicks and the Grizzlies.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, don't really have a ton of interest in this game.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: I think there's two main areas of weaknesses for these teams.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: On defense that should be the spots that these teams
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: look to attack. From Memphis, it's mainly been their pick
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: and roll defense. It's been really bad. They're bottom five
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: in pick and roll defense this season. And for the Knicks,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: their three point defense has been bad, but otherwise they've
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: been really good in pretty much every other category. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: think that the main reason we see from these Mike
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Brown defenses, they put two on the ball and that'll
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: leave some of these secondary scoring options open a lot
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: of the times. With that being said, I mean, Jaw's
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: looking like a semi chalky option on the slate seen
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: around like twenty percent. That's probably gonna be something that
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: come underweight on. I just really don't like the matchup
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: for him. He's shooting the ball terribly right now, they'd
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: have a pretty good game against Dallas. But that's a
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: much easier matchup just with the way that Dallas has
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: no really good on ball defenders and really weak rim defense.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: And you look at the two games that JAW has
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: played versus the Kings, which is when they had Mike Brown.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: You only put up twenty six point three and twenty
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: three point three DK points in those games. So probably
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: gonna be a guy that I'm looking to fade or
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: just get pretty underweight on at this projected ownership. After that, though,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: I think that I don't really know what's going on
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: with Jared Jackson junior right now. He hasn't had a
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: good game at all this season, but he does lead
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: the Grizzlies and catch and shoot scoring, so I guess
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: like it's an okay matchup for him. I don't mind
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: him seeing kat on defense either, if that's who they
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: put on him, I think that he should be able
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: to take advantage of that matchup, but maybe just a
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: wait and see approach for him. I do think that's
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: a pretty good matchup though, So if there were to
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: be a time for him to kind of hit in
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: a decently big way probably be in this spot, but
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I prefer just going down to Cedric Coward in Santi
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: al Dama and maybe even actually that's probably it. Yeah,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: just those two guys. That's the main catch and shoot
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: guys on offense. For the Grizzlies. You could look to
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: camp Spencer because he's cheap enough and he's a really
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: good permanent guy. But I don't really think that I'm
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: gonna need to go there tonight. For the Knicks. Like
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: I said, the pick and roll matchup is really good
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: for the guard, So Jenn Brunson is in a good
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: spot here, but nine K, you know, priced pretty much
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: exactly with Kat. I probably would just prefer Cat overall,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: just because he's a better permanent scorer. The Grizzlies are
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: allowing the fifth most Fantasy points to opposing power forward,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: so it's a pretty good spot versus struggling defense for Cat,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: so I do prefer him to Brunson. I think the
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: og is probably the guy like the most. He's just
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: been really good this season, really consistent, averaging thirty six
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: point three DK points and he's top thirty six Drafkings
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: points in five straight games, so he looks like a
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: pretty good option versus team that could be turnover prone.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I think you could use mckill.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Bridges as a pivot off of og different position, but
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: saing price tag, and he's in a pretty good spot
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: here as well, with the Grizzlies are allowing a good
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: amount of fantasy points to opposing shooting guards, and then
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: a Mitchell Robinson misses, which I think he should probably
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: gonna see Landry Shamit get the start. He'd be an
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: option at three point three k, pretty decent price for
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: somebody that could be starting and playing upwards of twenty
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: five minutes, and then Josh Hart would see some more
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: minutes as well.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: What was your thoughts on Josh Hart? He grades out
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: as like you said, he's fine, but you just touched
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: him at the end. He grades out as the best
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: point for a dollar play the Knicks.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I don't really have much to add to him, Like
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: he's probably gonna play up for twenties minutes, which is
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: enough for him, a guy that does a little bit
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: of everything. But yeah, I don't really have like a
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: strung take of him being a good or bad play
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: at all.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, I mean Memphis side just looks awful like Max one.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: If I was playing like single entry handbuilds, I wouldn't
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: click on more than one and probably wouldn't click on
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: any of these guys. Yeah, I mean the Knicks guys
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: though applied for like one hundred and twenty points. He
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: liked OG quite a bit. Kat always has big upside
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: at nine k. All these guys are relatively low owned.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Two like I think when we get to the popular
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: spends like Jalen Brown, I think we'll be more popular.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Mpg's price is getting up there. It's the more middling builds.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think many are going to go to Shay route.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: If they do spend up Max he has will get
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: some ownership, but I think the balance build not having
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to fully punt, so even if Shaman does get the start,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: he probably wouldn't be too highly owned. And if you
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: do want a jam in Shay or something up top,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: can get on a different build that way. But you
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: like OG a lot, I think Cat's pretty interesting. Do
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: not like the Memphis side. Next game on the slates
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Toronto Raptors and the Brooklyn Nets nine and halt or
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: nine and a half spread in this one, again with the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Raptors favored two thirty two and a half total injuries
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: in this one. On the Toronto side, Bajie is out,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Sondro is questionable. Not sure how much that means. On
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the Brooklyn side, we are looking at Cam Thomas and
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: day Ron Sharp both out terns of ownership in this game.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Sorting by Sabersim, A couple guys Clowney, Claxton quickly, MPJ.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: This game is getting decent amount of ownership. Like I said,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I think like I think this number could be too
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: low on MPJ, probably on Clowney Claxon just being center
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: might be right, but this game's going to get some ownership.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Nine to half point favorites the Raptors. What are you doing?
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a really good spot for the
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: Toronto side to put up a really big score here
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: versus the worst defense in the league. Their bottom two
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: in rim defense, Brooklyn is bottom ten or so in
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: three point defense, and they allow the most transition points
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: for game on defense as well. Toronto's top four and
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: transition scoring the season, So a really good spot for
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: them to get going out there. For Toronto, they're improving
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: a bit on defense, but it's mainly just the rim defense.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: That's going to be their area of weakness with the
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: off the Purtle down low. I definitely have a lot
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: more interest in the Toronto side than I do the
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Net side. I know that the Net side is getting
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: a lot of ownership because they are pretty thin and
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: we need some value on the slate. I just don't
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: really think that it's a great spot for anyone in particular,
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: but the Toronto side. These guys are in a really
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: good spot. I think it's mainly Scotty Barnes, Barrett and
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Quickly are the guys that I'm looking to. Barnes is
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: obviously the guy that you're looking to for the most
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: upside on the on the Raptors side for sure, one
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: point three to five Fantasy points for a minute. He's
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: first in assist percentage and second in usage, and he's
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: one of the top transition in rim scores for the Raptors.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Here and then Barrett, I would say, is not too
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: far behind from Scotty Barnes. For me, he's always been
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: one of the top transition scores in the NBA, and
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: he's leading the Raptors in the category this season. Really
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: good spot for shooting guards as well against this Nets
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: team that allows the second most DraftKings points per game
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: two opposing shooting guards, and then Quickly, coming off of
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: three strong outings top thirty five DK points and three
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: straight games adding a little bit of the purfals as well,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: six assists or more in each of those three games.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: I think five or more rebounding each of those three
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: games as well. The Nets are the best best pick
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: and roll defense in the league, but Quickly's only again
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: about twenty percent of his offensive positions in pick and roll.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: He's third in transition scoring for Toronto, third and catch
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: and shoot points per games, so I think it's a
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: pretty good spot for Quickly as well. Don't really like
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Ingram right now. He's just not really adding enough upside
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: to his game. At this price, sex I'd probably look
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: to get away from him. But those three that I
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: mentioned I think are the best options for Toronto, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: then the price is starting to get up down there
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: for Protal where it makes them a little bit interesting.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: It's a really good matchup, like I said, with the
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Nets allowing a ton of rim points this season, so
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: I think this is probably the spot where I'm going
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: to be playing a little bit of Yaka Purdle because
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: I do think that he could pop off in a
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: pretty big way in this matchup, and his last game
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: it was just an injury management thing. It wasn't like
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: he picked up another injury, so we could see like
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: twenty six twenty seven minutes from him. And he's always
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: been a really good permantent guy. So I think that's
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: a good price tag for Perdle. And then it's hard
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: to overlook MPJ and Claxon. I think that I prefer
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Claxon here. He's just been adding a little bit more.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously the role has 've tacked in a
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: pretty big way for MPJ. He's been third on first
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: in the team in usage with Cam Thomas off the court,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: adding a little bit of playmaking eleven point four percent
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: of sist percentage, eleven percent rebounding rate, so pretty solid numbers.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: But it is a pretty tough matchup for him with
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Scottie Barnes on him. So I probably just LeAnn Claxon
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: for the price tag. I think it's a really good spot.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Like I mentioned, always like to attack Yaka Purdle. He
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: has a nineteen percent usage rate in twenty four percent
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: of sist percentage, so a slightly better role for Claxon
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: than it is for versus MPJ. He's averaging one point
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: two nine Fantasy points per minute as well in those
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: minutes without Cam Thomas on the court, and then with
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: no day Ron Sharp as well. They probably give him
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: a little bit more minutes. I think they'll probably have
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Danny Wolf backing up Nick Claxon. Not sure how much
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: they want to see him, but yeah, I think Claxton
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: is probably the best option for the Brooklyn side tonight,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: and then all these other guys, they're gonna play enough
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: to probably be viable. The range of outcomes for Noah
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Clowney is really wide. I mean, he's just he kind
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: of reminds me of like a Jabbari Walker type where
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: he can put up like a pretty solid score one
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: game and then next game he goes one for nine
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: from the field and barely plays at all. So that's
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: definitely within the range of outcomes for him. I would
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: say that if the ownership starts to get up as
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: we get closer to lock, I'd look to get away
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: from it and probably just lean intoesire Wins a little
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: bit more, because I think that those two guys are
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: the ones that negatively correlate. I would definitely be Maxwell
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: and Zaiyere and Clowny tonight, and then I probably would
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: lean Zaire. And then if you're playing the blowout game,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Drake Powell is going to be the guy that plays
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: for MPJ when the game gets out of a hand.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Sold one of those two guys. You're probably not getting
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: any right now, but if you want to bump them
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: up a little bit, and in case we'll blowout, he'd
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: be the guy that gets to blow a run. And
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: then Max One, Igor Demon and Tarry Smartin as well.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Those guys are backing are doing the point guard duties.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: And then Danny Wolf Max One him and Nick Claxon
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Do you see yourself getting any like Wolf Powell? Like
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: it's it's a five games, not two or three. You
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: still nine and a half points, You're you're willing to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: make that a part of your portfolio a little bit.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: I think Wolf for sure, just because he's been priced
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: and it's easier for like a power forward center type
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: to get Fantasy points and it would be for a guard.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: So I don't mind playing some of him.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense, and it kind of like like
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: it gets you on a different build. Like you said
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: right now, the like stone, like the three K value
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: isn't really good. A lot of people will be living
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: in a more middling build and those middling bills like
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, you don't love the spot for the nets,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: but at with them being thin and at their salary
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: like Claxton Clowney MPJ. Some's out yere like these guys
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: are gonna be owned a little bit and the raptors
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: side not nearly as much because their full strength that
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: it kind of dictates a lot of NBA dfs is
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: minutes opportunity and health. But would you be fine playing two?
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: You probably don't want three of Beart Barnes Quickly, but
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: are you find playing two of them?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm always always gonna be max two of those
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: top four guys for Toronto.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Makes sense, and then you'd prefer to try and get
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: There's no such thing really as like a runback in basketball.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: But if you want the game to say competitive in
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: a sense, if you were handbuilding, you'd be more likely
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: to put a net in. I take it in those
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: lineups or do not? If I had like two Toronto guys, Yeah,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: two of Quickly Barnes, I mean, yeah, even Yaka Purtle
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: and stuff. You need the minutes from all of them,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: all the starters.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: I think nashally you're probably gonna get a lot of
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Claxton and MPJ, so I probably would probably get one
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: of those guys in there. I definitely prefer Claxton, but yeah,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: definitely not something you have to go and force.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, last thing to note like this, Yaka purtal like
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: he's gonna be point nine to nine percent right now,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: but Rio said he might play twenty seven minutes right now.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: This projection is with twenty four minutes. So just little
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: things like that is where you can get the edge
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: of the projection if you think the minutes dictate kind
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: of what the projection is because the usage and that
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: doesn't change. So that and then it sounded like you
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: thought Claxon, who's projected twenty nine minutes for the nets,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: that could go up a little bit in a close game.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: It sounded like, I mean he was already getting about that,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: but you said, no, Sharp, you don't know how much
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: they want Wolf to play. So that's two things that
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: stood out Claxon, Yaka Purtle in terms of minutes versus
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: the projected right now that Sabersome has next game on
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: this side, Oh go ahead.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Oh no, I was just say Claxton should probably be
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: projected for like thirty one minutes on the low end.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I would say, all right, yeah, that's that's good stuff.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: He said, Barnes is good MPJ. He didn't like as
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: much as Claxon, but he said mpj's fine.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: He was talking about the defensive matchup. I do think
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: that it's gonna be Barnes on MPJ.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Next game on the slates, we have the Philadelphia
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: seventy six ers and the Boston Celtics one a half
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: point favorites are the Celtics two thirty one and a
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: half total in this one, no Embiid, no Paul George Still,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: no Dominic Barlow. Still as far as the Boston side,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: no injury news to work or to worry about sorting
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: my ownership in this game. I think it's gonna be.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: It's definitely gonna get some ownership on both sides. I
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: think this is maybe accurate. No Embiid obviously brings Drummond
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: into the mix. Jalen Brown, Derek White, these guys just
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: fit the no value right now. If there was multiple
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: three K guys and there's a Yannis and Yo kitchen stuff.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: We could be looking at a different slate, But like
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Shay's not in the best spot, it doesn't seem like
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: people aren't going all the way up. A lot of
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: people go to this game and then MAXI at ten
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: to three. I'm wondering, as the second is zone player,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: do you think he'll be five percent? It feels a
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: little light, but curious what you'd say.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: No, he won't.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: There's no way he's probably getting up to like fifteen percent.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I would imagine, yeah, yeah, I know this is probably
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: the best or the second best game on the slate.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I don't think you're really getting past anybody because it
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: is the closest spread, But I mean, the Celtics are
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: starting to play a lot better, at least the main
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: guys like Jalen Brown and Derek White are starting to
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: kind of turn things around or turn a corner in
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: terms of like a fantasy production standpoint, and it's a
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: really good matchup for them. I love tacking the Sixers
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: defense their bottom ten defensive rating this season. The rim
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: defense and transition defense been a spot that they've really
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: been struggling. So I think that it's a really really
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: good spot for the guards at Jalen Brown, Derek White,
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Pritch I think are all in a pretty good spot here.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: And on top of that, the pick and roll defense
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: is the second worst in the league this season. They
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: don't only have like a true point guard that runs
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: pick and roll like a high volume, but all those
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: guys kind of add enough.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: In the pick and roll stats to be useful. I
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: definitely like.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Jayalen Brown the most here, just with the way that
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: the sixer are getting killed in transition in around the basket.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: He's guy's gonna be driving the ball the most the
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: for Boston. He's also first in rim and pick and
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: roll scoring and transition scoring the season, so really good
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: match up for him. He put up forty eight point
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: three DK points the last time that they faced and
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: like I said, starting to kind of turn a corner.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: From a fantasy production standpoints, I think that he's the
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: best option on Boston tonight. I'm okay with the ownership
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: where it's at. I think that it's totally fine. Price
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: tag is really good. Derrek White would probably be the
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: one I'm least excited about. He's still not shooting the ball.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: All that great.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: He does have a couple of games where he's hit
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: you know, around three threes, still taking a ton of shots,
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: but just not really adding enough upside.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, Pritchard is one point one k cheaper and
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: kind of has similar upsides. I think I probably prefer
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: M a little bit more, but I'm okay with White,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: I guess, But yeah, I do prefer Pritchard just the
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: cheaper price. Seg is kind kind of the main thing
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: that gets me onto him a little bit more. He's
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: gonna be the third option on offense. But they do
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: like this matchup for him. He played thirty three and
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: thirty seven minutes in the two games versus Philly this season,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: only averaging round twenty nine d K points there. But yeah,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: I think that the price is really good for Prichard,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: and then I think.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Cada is good.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: I kind of wish them Bead were to be in,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: although that Embid being out does make it a better
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: spot for him to play more minutes because he won't
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: have the foul trouble he's been playing, you know, twenty
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: four plus minutes in each of his last four games.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Sixers are bottom eight Room defense bottom eight and DVP
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: versus centers this season, So I think that upside is
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: for sure there for Cada, and then I would look
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: to Simons as well as another guy. Probably don't want
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: to play more than two of White, Pritchard or Simons.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know if those guys are all capable of
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: getting there, even on a small slate. I don't know
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: if it's like I think I saw something underdog that
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Simons had like twenty five first half points last game
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: and then he finished with twenty five.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it was insane. Yeah, so that
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: actually happened.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had literally like thirty one thirty two DK
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: points at the end of the half, and I don't
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: know if it was like nine for thirteen, like it
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: was an insane number. And then yeah, I just to
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: be honest, like I played NBA yesterday. I was watching
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: the Packers and all that, Like I didn't have Simons,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: but I knew he wasn't on the winner, so I
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: didn't even check what he did in the second half.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: But wow, he did nothing, literally nothing. That's crazy. Yeah,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: insane first half. They tweeted about it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so that was on Sunday then, right, I think
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: it was on the ninth c that was Sunday.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, probably why it wasn't, but.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Damn well, whatever day. I remember they tweeted about They
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: tweeted about it in the first half. He only got
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: twenty two minutes in that though, so I don't know
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: if something happened in the in the second half.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, Missoula is like a guy that doesn't stick
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: to the same rotation like he'll like I think that
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: the one game, I think it was on Friday when
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: they played Orlando, kind of talked him up a little
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: bit as a value play and people played him and
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: he only played like two first half minutes and then
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: you know, kind of went off in the second half.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: But he's not going to stick to like the same
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: rotation every single week. So it's every single game. So
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: it's kind of tough to know what you're getting from
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: guys like Simon's and Cada and miight not.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Speaking of I was.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Thinking of something else. I don't know. I thought, I
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: keep going, we got to twitter now.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say, just keep an eye on the
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: starting line of I don't know if they're really.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Going to change it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: But Jared Walsh or Jordan Walsh has been playing really
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: well over the last couple of games.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: It's starting to see more minutes.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: I would probably keep him in the playerpool in case
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: that he plays his minutes over mine not but I
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: probably wouldn't play those guys together all right now, the
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: sixer side is definitely gonna be one that you look
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: to for spend ups and even some value as well.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: With Joel embiid out, obviously that's going to bring more
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: usage to guys like Maxie and v J. Edgecomb is
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: even a guy that sees a little bit of a
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: usage bump. Uber will see more usage as well.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: But obviously I think that Maxie.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Is probably the best fin up on the slate at
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: ten point three K. He's actually averaged a little bit
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: worst numbers with embad off than with him on last season.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: It was the the inverse, but he does see a
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: plus two percent bump in his usage and assist numbers.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: But he's been killing Boston averaging thirty three, five and
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: ten and sixty three point three DK points for games.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: So I think it's kind of a no brainer play
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: just Maxi being the top spin up option on the
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: slate with there only being two guys priced above ten K.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Definitely prefer MAXI to SGA tonight, and then Uber and
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: Grimes I think are guys that could be in play here.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Uber should be playing upper thirty six, like forty minutes
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: in a close game, and a lot of his best
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: games this season came within bead out, averaging thirty six
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: point three DK points in four games without embid this season.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: And then Drummond played twenty eight thirty five minutes in
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: each of the last two games within bid out, and
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: he's probably gonna be the guy that's going to start.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: He did start against Detroit could have been somewhat matchup driven,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: but I think that he's kind of been out playing
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: at dem Bona enough to just solidify himself in the
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: starting lineup. So if we're getting like twenty eight to
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: thirty minutes from Drummond, then he's probably one of the
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: better value plays on the entire slate. And then Tryna
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Wafford as well as a guy that sees a really
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: big bump in his permitted production within beat off. We
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: do have a pretty large sample with him playing without
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: embied the season, one hundred and twenty one minutes averaging
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: one point one two fantasy points for a minute in
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: those minutes, So I think that he's pretty solid here
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: as well. But definitely think that Drummond is one of
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: the top value plays on a slate.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: And then MAXI my favorite spend up.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: I do think two centers will be decently owned tonight. Nurkic, Claxton, Drummond,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Cada Center is very strong. I assume most a lot
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: of build over fifty percent. I imagine the flagship and
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: stuff will have that, and it's probably the right thing
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: to do. I had to check underdog Twitter to make sure.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I just I literally wasn't going crazy. Yeah, was Sunday
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: at five, was at five seventeen our times, so building
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: football lineups in between that fourteen first half minutes eight
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: for eleven from the field, five for seven from the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: twenty five real points. Crazy yeah. And he finished with
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: the same only got eight second half minutes after that,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: that's crazy.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: He gave his thoughts on Watford at the end. I
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: was trying to find that, so I wasn't listening to
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: your individual breakdowns really on the Philly side, and Okaeda
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: was your favorite on Boston. But I mean, this is
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: one of the best games, like you said it's not
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: going to sneak by anyone. But when we're looking at
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: nine and a half point spreads ten and a half
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: now for the Knicks, nine and a half for the Raptors,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: seven and a half for the Thunder, you do get
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: this game and the Pacers game that will be close,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: but yeah, pretty appropriately priced on both sides. The last
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: thing to know was like the Maxi ownership that was
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: five percent. I'm taking the averageship in Nation and Saber.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: It should get updated. But if it doesn't, just know
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: like spotting inefficiencies like that, because then if you don't
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: change it and you go to your portfoliofolio and it
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: shows your leverage is like three x the field and
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: you have fifteen percent, I mean you're actually even with
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the field. So that's a big difference that way. When
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: you're looking at leverage common stuff, that's what I look at,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: compare where I'm at versus the field. But you need
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: good ownership and making some adjustments. Ownership is tough in NBA.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: The Ultimate package one of the biggest beneficiaries, but that
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: is the live ownership that they give and able to
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: sit sim against for the five thirty PM games after
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: that's locked. You will be able to like cats ownership, Brunson, etc.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Will be in the ownership and you can see it
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: live and then sim against that. So one very ultimate's expensive.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: It's definitely not for everyone, but if you are playing
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of money, a couple hundred bucks a week
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: definitely worth it. And over here Sabersim or Rio and
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: sheets to a Sabersims video Saber series aids will be
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: on it. I think this week, every single week you
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: can ask questions very in depth. There two of the
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: best Sabersim minds. So another reason to get over to
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: ship a Nation dot com again. As low as nineteen bucks,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: you can get in for five days. Next game on
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the slate, two games left, OKC Thunder and the Golden
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: State Warriors Thunder seven to that point, favorites two twenty
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: seven and a half total in this one. No injuries
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: to worry about on the Warrior side. Lou Dort Aaron
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Wiggins out for Okasee take it away, a game that
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: looking is looking to be very low owned and went
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: sorting by sabers and our ownership.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just don't see how or why anybody would
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: play Warriors tonight.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: At these price tags.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: I just it doesn't make sense for Kaminga to be
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: a Draymond Green to be six point eight K. I mean,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: pods above six K is kind of crazy too. I
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: guess you could make a case for Steph just because
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: he does always have slight breaking upside, but there's nothing
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: really about the matchup that stands out in a big way.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: The okay see, is given up a good amount of
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: threes per game, so that would be the one spot
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: you want to attack. Obviously, Steph one of the best,
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: probably the best three point shooter ever, so you could
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: make the case for him, But I don't think I'm
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: gonna be keeping anybody else in my playpool on the
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Warriors side, like maybe Trace Jackson Davis just and playing
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: in the blowout because okay see, he is the best
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: team in the league, so I could see this game
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: blowing out on that side, and Tray Jackson Dave was
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: probably getting a good amount of run. But yet nobody
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: else other than Steph in terms of spend ups for
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: the Warriors okay see side. I mean it's kind of similar.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: I don't really want to pay nearly eleven K for
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Shay on the slate there's nothing that really stands out
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: from the Warriors on defense. They're pretty good in pretty
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: much every category. Top six defensive rated team this season. Obviously,
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: it doesn't really matter too much for me talking about
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: a guy like Shay, but it's just the main thing
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: is that he's almost eleven K and he hasn't topped
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: sixty DK points more than twice this season, so Maxi's
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: done that probably four or five times already. I just
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: think that it's a much better spot for to go
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: down to Maxi at the similar price tags Chet, and
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: he's fully healthy now, playing thirty minutes in each of
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: the two of the last three games. Warriors do allow
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: some pick and roll role man scoring, so it's an
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: okay spot for him, But I don't know, don't really
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: love playing him either. Hartenstein's kind of interesting because he's
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: put up some really big games recently, double doubles in
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: each of his last three games, had the massive game
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: against Sacramento. It's not really great spot with the way
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: that the Warriors don't allow a ton of points around
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: the basket, and they don't really allow a lot of
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: fantasy points to centers either. But the thing that's been
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: interesting with Dordan Wiggins off the court. He has a
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: six plus six percent usage rate increase and averaging one
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: point five seven fantasy points per minute with those guys
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: off the court, so pretty big spike in numbers, so
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: you could make the case to play him. I think
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: that six point nine K is probably as pricey as
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: he should be, even for the huge game against the Kings.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: I don't really see many sixty plus DK point outings
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: coming from hard Sign, but forty to forty five is
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: enough on this slate probably, But I wouldn't say that
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: he's a top four or five option at center position.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: I think that he's probably the second best option on
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: OKC tonight, but not really one of my favorite plays.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: I do like Aj Mitchell a lot, though he's playing
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: a lot. They're really leaning into playing him more, and
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: he's been starting well, you know, with all the injuries
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: piling up for ok SEE played thirty one plus minutes
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: in three straight games, top forty DK points twice, averages
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: one point three to nine fantasy points for a minute
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: in the non Wiggins and Doort minutes. I think that
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: he's a pretty good option even at six point three
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: K with the just point guard llge ability, but I
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: do like him a good bit here.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: What a season for him all the way up to
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: sixty three hundred bucks crazy since night one? How often
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: have like the Warriors been going Draymond at the center
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: and going small bull.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: On it.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: It's been a while since I've watched a Wars games
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: because they haven't really been on the main slate, But
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: I can pull that numbers up quickly. I think they've
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: been starting posts pretty consistently.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I see the starting post. I mean because the
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: reason I ask is with Hartenstein, is there a threat?
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, going Chad at the five is pretty easy
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: for Okse to do if they wanted to. But I
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: I haven't.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I didn't have time to pull a popcorn machine. But
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: that is something to note, like your Hartenstein, like those
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: twenty nine minutes, I mean, if he gets a couple
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: more minutes. We talked about how loaded center is. If
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: he can beat out point per dollar wise just I
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: mean it has to be a lot of them, probably
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: three of the four Chalkier centers. But if he can,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get him maybe not even nine percent, maybe
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: even lower. So I thought that was an interesting take.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, this game is really tough to get to
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: my opinion, and I prefer Maxi over Shae for cheaper
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I prefer a lot of other mid tier guys I
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: think over Steph. Just not a game I want much
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: exposure to. In the field is thinking the same. What
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: did you think Drummond's minutes will be? Let's see what
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: we have. Sabersim has twenty six minutes?
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Do you agree with that? Reel?
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's probably that's a safe number. I
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: think there's there's a little bit more minutes or more
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: upside than twenty six. I don't think that he's going
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: to go below that.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: There you go, So, yeah, that's that's his minutes floor.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Real things obviously follows or something changes that, but good
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: to note. Last game of the slates Indiana Pacers and
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: the Utah Jazz Rios Utah Jazz two and a half
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: point favorites are the Pacers two thirty three and a
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: half total in this one. Injuries for the Pacers side,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: no Benedict's mathern TJ. McConnell's questionable. On the Utah side,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: no Taylor Hendrick still, no slow Mo, Kyle Anderson looking
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: at ownership in this game, it is not getting past anyone.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Are your Utah Jazz? Memhar looks to get some ownership
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: for the Pacers after that, not much, but holy moly,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: your Jazz are getting known for sure. And like this,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Ace Bailey number probably goes up. Flapowski forty five, Yeah,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: probably right, but him being power forward eligible on top
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: of center is huge for him, so that might even
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: be higher. Like we saw Ron Holland projected like six
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: like sixty to fifty nine, like high fifties yesterday, I
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: mean sixty eight percent. These guys aren't sneaking by anyone.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: The field's gotten pretty sharp, so I wouldn't be surprised
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: if that number got a little higher.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: But great game to target, Yeah, for sure, I think
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: this is probably this game might be a little bit
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: better than the six Ers one, but I think they're
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: pretty close just in terms of getting some ceiling games.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Prices are a little bit better on some of these guys. Yeah,
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: with no Tayler Hendricks, no Kevin love To and I
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: they'll definitely open up some more minutes for guys on
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: the jazz side. I think that Philip Kossi going to
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: be getting those backup center minutes. Now both The seat
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: was to see what they do because it is a
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: back to back for Utah. I wouldn't be surprised if
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: they lean into some of the younger guys a little
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: bit more. After Lori played thirty five, Kiance played thirty six,
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Nurkic didn't play a ton, but I could see Seve
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: getting dialed back a little bit here, and they're going
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: with Ace and maybe a little bit more like sense
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: of ball and Walter Clayton Junior a little bit. We
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: did get word from Will Hardy that they are going
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: to be starting Ace Bailey moving forwards. I think that
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: kind of an interesting uh. I don't know if it's
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: really a bi low spot, but it's a good price
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: sec to get a top five, top five.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Pick in the draft.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Obviously, some of that's extremely talented starting to come into
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: his own a little bit more, and he's been you know,
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: the role wasn't great for him as a starter last
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: game that had a really low usage rate, kind of
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: been used off ball more and like as a cutter.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: But he did show really good rebounding numbers. Had four
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: offensive board boards last game, so you know, the rebounding
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: could just give him a little bit of a better floor,
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: but I think the Nurkic is probably the best play
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: on the jazz side. Him and Philipkowski just really good matchup.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: With the way that the Pacers having given a ton
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: of points around the basket, and with this being a
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: game where there's gonna be no Kevin Love, so no
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: like true center behind Nurkic, I could see him maybe
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: playing closer to like thirty minutes here if the game
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: is close, and if you tell me I'll get thirty
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: minutes from Nurkic, then he has a good chance of
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: being the highest scoring center on the slate, you know,
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: a slate that doesn't really have like Wemby or Yoka
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: trinthling that I don't think that's really asking for too much.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: I do like him as the best option in Utah,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: but then I think, like Lori, it's a pretty good
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: spot for him. The Pacers don't give a lot of
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: three pointers, but he's been driving a little bit more
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: and scoring around the basket, so I'm not really too
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: worried off about the matchup. And then Kyante, it's I
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: mean some point one k pretty. He's definitely earned that
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: price tag, been right around like forty dk points in
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: every game this season except for a few. Nemhart is
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: in there, so the pick and roll defense can be
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: a lot better. But the role has been really good
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: for Kiante, and he's beat some really hard matchups this season,
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: so I think that he's he's pretty solid. But I
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: wouldn't be two opposed to getting some Walter Clayton junior
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: in the off chance that Caante's minutes come down to
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: like thirty one and we see like twenty from Clayton,
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: because he's been a pretty solid, permanent guy this season,
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: and he did close over Nurkic and Speed last game,
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: so there's definitely some upside for him the indie side,
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: I don't really know if I want to pay ten
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: K for Siakam now with you know, with Nempard back,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: they're starting to get like a real point guard on
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: the team that can take away a little bit of
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: usage and touch time from Siakam. The Jazz do give
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: up some pretty big games to opposing stars, so you
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: can make the case that he's in a fine spot here,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: but I probably would just lean into some of these
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: secondary guys, like I think Nee Smith is actually kind
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: of interesting. Jazz are one of the worst three point
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: defense in the league. They allow a ton of turnovers
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: as well, so I could see this being like a
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: pretty efficient game from Nee Smith where he hits three
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: to four threes and maybe gets like three or four
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: steals and pays off value in that way. But Nemhart's
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: gonna be the guy that I like the most. I
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: just always like attacking this Jazz team with opposing guards.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: They're allowing a ton of three point per game to
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: opposing guards. But I mean, the numbers have been really
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: good for Nemhart since returning had like a month long
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: injury absence and then played thirty three and thirty minutes
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: in his first two games back, taking thirty six shots
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: over his last two games. So there's gonna be a
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: ton of volume for a Nemmar And I definitely think
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: that he's the top play for the Pacers. I don't
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: really know like TJ might return, but he could. If
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: he misses again, then then Harden gets a lot better.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: But I really want to be getting off of Nemhart
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: even if TJ were to be in, Yeah, I would not.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: I would not get off of him, even if.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: T would not get it okay, And I don't even
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: know if I believe that thirty three percent, that could
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: be like I don't know, twenty five. Maybe I'm wrong,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: but there's just so many people in that mitt in
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: that like the balance build will be popular, but who's
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: around that six three month Let's see Derek White's gonna
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: get some ownership, Michael Porter kind of in that range, Prichard,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: all the scent like the Chalky Centers kind of are there,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: like the Nurkics, the Claxtons. I don't know, maybe it's
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I think twenty five is probably a little more realistic
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: than thirty three. Siak, I'm gonna get some ownership for
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: the Pacers. How I just view it is like when
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: we're circling back, Memphis looks bad. Knicks, I think og
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: or one of the studs, like they fit middling builds
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: with towns is the highest price in nine K. Toronto
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: looks good, and that's look good. Boston Philly is a
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: good game. This game's bad, and honestly, I think Indiana's
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: pretty bad. And Utah has some solid pieces, like we
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: talk about a condensed spot one, two, three, four, five
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: pretty much five teams, six teams. I would add Utah
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: so six of the ten teams right away to get
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: some exposure to and like that's how I'm gonna try
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: and narrow it down. Yeah, that's kind of my final
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: thoughts on this late though. The thing with basketball is
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: it's all I mean, projections, own stuff. If one of
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: these guys get ruled out at the end of the day,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: like if somehow Scotty Barton's got ruled out right now,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: like quickly brandon Ingram, the whole slates flipped on its
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: head and you have to be late swapping. You have
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: to be paired. We don't have too many big que
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: tags right now, but even little stuff changes some projections
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: and weird starting lineup can change stuff. So you got
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: to be around your computer from seven third Eastern to
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: nine eastern today. That's what we got for the five
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: game DK main slate. Final thoughts from your rio No
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Jackson love if you want to touch on that too,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Jackson fifty, I mean he's fine. I think the
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: center is pretty strong tonight, So I don't know if
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I really want to be taking a shot on him,
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Like Keda for three hundred cheaper is probably a little
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: bit better. Drummond for two hundred more a lot better.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: And then I think even like Nurkic and Claxon for
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: one thousand and thirteen thirteen hundred more are way better.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: So I don't think so he's kind of far down
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: the terms of priorities for center final thoughts.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: No, yeah, not really. It's kind of a kind of
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: a gross Tuesday slate. It's also been kind of odd
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: DraftKings is beefing up the contests for Tuesday, but we
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: get worse contests on like Wednesdays and Fridays. I wish
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: that they would flip that, like, I don't you know,
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: I don't like playing that five dollars on Wednesdays and Fridays,
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: But they just keep doing that, and then we have
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: like the Big three k contest, which I think is
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: pretty good on Tuesday. The seven to twenty five is
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: always on Tuesday as well, So I just kind of
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: wish that they would flip those around a little bit.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: If you had to pick a number for this late size,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: what's your ideal number? Would you say? Like like eight games?
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, seven to eight, yeah, seven to nine I think
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: is a sweet spot. I think ten and above gets
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: a little crazy, and then like five and below is
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: kind of boring.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. I wonder why they do it
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: right after Monday Night Football or Monday Big Contest. That
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: way get people, the winners to put more money in
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: or people to chase that way. Wednesday a little smaller,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: waiting for Thursday, and then I don't know why Friday
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: would college football is going on. I don't think that's
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: really taken away. Who knows what DraftKings thinks. That's gonna
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: take too much work to dive. I mean, they're better
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: than FanDuel, at least FanDuel's product. You talked about it
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: five years ago phenomenon. I grew up playing on Fan
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Duel before DraftKings. You can get a lot of good
• 40:04
