• 0:08
  Speaker 1: All system's going clear lifting.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: What is happening ship at Nation? It's your boy, m
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Bellman Night sixty seven here with another NBA quick hit today.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: It is Saturday, January tenth. NFL playoffs start today, so
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are focused on that,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: but we are here to talk some hoops. Happy to
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: be back here after a couple of weeks off. For
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: those of you who don't know, I had back surgery,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: was in pretty constant agonizing pain for a while due
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to a her need, a disc causing saiatica, and a
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: bunch of other things. So I'm still in recovery, but
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: happy to be back here doing this quick hit with
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: you guys. We got five games to talk about tonight,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and it's a pretty typical NBA slate and that there
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: is a lot of injury news. Stuff we know about,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: stuff we don't know about yet. So just if you're
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: playing tonight, make sure you are by your computer and
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: able to make changes because that will be important to
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: see me. That being said, let's dive right in first
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: game of the slate. We have Miami at Indiana. Miami
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: is a seven and a half point favorite. Indiana finally
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: got off the snide and won their first game in
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: like fifteen games or something like that when they beat
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Charlotte the other night, So.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Props to them.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: From an injury perspective, Miami is about as healthy as
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: we'll see them. Jaima Hakas is six, so he's questable tonight.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Other than that, they're healthy. Because of that, they're not
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: getting much ownership, and despite being in a really good spot,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think they should be getting much ownership.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: So I think Bam is a good play.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: At seventy three hundred on this slate, he's just not
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: going to stand out, you know, hero down to sixty
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: eight hundred minutes are stabilizing. He's playing full run. So
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I don't hate that. I don't hate Norman Powell, who's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: having a really good year. But none of these guys
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: are going to be priorities. From the Indiana side, Nemhard
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: is questionable, so if he's out, you know, we'll go
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: right back to t J McConnell. Let me check the
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: latest on real quick. One second, guys, I thought he
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: was still questionable, but I just want to make sure. Yeah,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: he's still questionable, So just want to make sure. If
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: he's out, I think you go right back to TJ.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: McConnell Jackson if he starts, sure, thirty five hundred. But
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I think McConnell is the guy really gonna want Jay
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Huff starting at center these days for the Pacers for
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the last two games, at least forty four hundred. He's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: the guy getting the most ownership on Indiana. I get it,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you know, power forward eligible forty four hundred looks like
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: a cog in the machine. I think there's gonna be
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: better value throughout the slate a couple of spots we're
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: gonna get to, But you know, I think he could
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: do worse than a forty four hundred dollars Jay Huff.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: If nem Hard is in, there isn't gonna be much
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: from Indiana that I like. Siakam's price is increasing them
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Hard's seven k, McConnell's five k, So I'll have to
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: wait on the nem Hard news. But no priorities at
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: all from this game, at least as of this point.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Now we get to a spot where we are going
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to want exposure to and it's not the Clippers side,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: so they're on the second half of an active act.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't be surprised if you know a co WHI sits out,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: sits out tonight, making which would make James Harden a
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: really really good play with how it stands right now,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: though I don't think anyone from the Clippers is a
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: priority on this slate. You know again, I think Harden
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and Kawhi's are fine to get to, but I don't
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: think there's anyone that like stands out. We will have
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: money to spend, so potentially playing a bunch of Detroit
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: would make you know, one of or both of Kawhi
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and hard and more viable. But the Detroit side has
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the sided we really want to talk about, and I
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: will say I'll go back and the Indiana guys like Siakham,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: especially because we're gonna have a lot of value.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I don't hate Siakam as a.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Spend up option, just wanted to say that he's, you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: playing good ball right now. From the Detroit side, Stewart
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and Cunningham are questionable. Both misshoot around today to go
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: along with Jalen Duran being out. So if Stewart is
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: out with Duran, I think we lock in Paul Reid, even.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: At an increased fifty five price tag.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I know he hasn't been that great the past two days,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: much more solid than spectacular, but we know the upsides
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: in there, and without Stuart, without Duran, I think Reid
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: would look amazing at fifty f hundred, Asar Thompson.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Would get a bump. You know.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: If Cunningham is out, which I kind of expect him
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: to be out, I think we go right back to
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the IVY Dannis Jenkins is of the world.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Now they're more expensive, so not as interested in playing
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: both of them together.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Jenkins finished closed last game, he had a monster second half.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: If he doesn't have a monster second half, I'm sure
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: IVY gets more run so, you know, again, with their
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: increased price tags, I really only want to play one
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: of them, and I presume IVY will start again. But
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I think they're both wildly in play, and I'm a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: small slate. I guess I don't hate playing both of
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: them together, especially in like the Big fifteen or eighteen
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: dollars or whatever it is tonight. Other than that, not
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: a ton I mean when I say not a ton,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: pretty much everyone from Detroit is viable if Cunningham and
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Stuart are out, but guys like Duncan Robinson, you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: never going to be overly intrigued with. But at forty
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: two hundred, you know, in play if nothing else, Detroit's
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: not even the best value team of the night, which
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: we'll get to in a couple of games here. Moving
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: on to San Antonio and Boston. Really good game from
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: a real life perspective, not sure how much we love
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: love it from a DFS perspective. Now it should be
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: a close, competitive game, you know, but uh, San Antonio,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: excuse me, is favored by one and a half over Boston.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Seems odd in Boston and check that real quick, yep,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Spurs one and a half point favorites.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: The Spurs are back healthy now with Wemby, you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: back in the mix, not playing full run. So from
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the San Antonio side, there isn't a lot I.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Love here, you know.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: With Wemby back in Uh, you know, I think guys
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: like Fox and Castle can truly get there.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: You'll have the money for them.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: But I just think there's better options on this slate,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: And I feel similarly about the Boston side second half
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: of a back to back. Jalen Brown is always in play,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: you know, one of the usage leaders in the league,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: having a year so on and so forth. He's a
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: very good play here. You're gonna have money to spend.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: He's probably my favorite play from this game. Not projected
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: to get a ton of a ton of ownership here
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: at that price tag, which makes sense. See, yeah, this
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: game is not projected to get a ton of love,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: which doesn't surprise me because it's not an amazing game
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: room with the have best perspective, and when we have
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: spots like the next two games, it's easy to see
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: why San Antonio and Boston aren't getting a ton of love.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: So all right, we got Dallas at Chicago.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: This is a game I think.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: We're gonna want a lot of from both sides. Obviously,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Dallas is gonna look amazing with Anthony Davis, PJ. Washington, Owt,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: along with Brain and Williams so Cooper Flag right now
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: projected to be the highest owned player on the slate
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: at a bunch of different places, and I believe it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: You know, still under eight k can play him at
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: five different spots on DraftKings. With the point guard and
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: small four eligibility, he looks like a just plug in
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and move on type of play. Still really good play
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: in all fourmats. Ryan Nemhard. Presume he's gonna start at
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: thirty seven hundred. He's gonna look great here. A ton
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to love here, you know, with no Brandon Williams, I
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: think it's gonna be a mix of Nemhard and you know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I guess D'Angelo Russell at point guard along with Cooper Flag.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: We've seen Nemhar have big games already this year, so
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: he's the guy that I'm targeting there. Thirty seven hundred
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: the cheapest he's been in a long time. Naji Marshall again,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: you can play him at five spots on DK. He
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: looks great here. Max Christy, who has gotten a lot
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: of good coach speak recently. I know Rio mentioned that
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: in the show yesterday.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I heard it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Also they want him shooting ten plus three is a
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: game forty six hundred shooting guard.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I'll take it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Daniel Gafford looks great here. Klay Thompson. You know, I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: think we can look at D'Angelo Russell, you know, not
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: getting a ton of love, but could see him playing
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a bunch and at flat at the flat three k
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: we know dl of them get there, So yeah, all
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: of Dallas is in play. They look really really good here,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: you know, the top team on the slate. They don't
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: look like Okay, see last night, where like all their
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: guys are dirt cheap, but similar in the sense that
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: we want a lot of a Dallas exposure and they're
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: not priced how they should be for Anthony Davis to
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: specifically being out are moving out to Chicago. Like I said,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: we certainly want more exposure to Dallas than Chicago. But
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: there's a couple guys from the Bulls that look really
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: good and they're getting ownership.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Vucevic seventy nine hundred.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I'm playing really good ball right now in
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: a good spot here against the shorthanded Dallas team.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: So I like Vouch.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I like Matas Buzzlis, you know, sixty three hundred. He's
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: playing really good ball with giddy out. So those two
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: would be the main guys I'm looking at, you know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Trey Jones and Kobe White, I think GPP tournament guys,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: but Boozalis and Vouch should be the two main guys
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I think we want exposure to all right now, last
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: but not least, we got a really really good one.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: From a DFS perspective, Dallas is getting all the ownership
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: right now. But after that, I think we're gonna see
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: some guys from this game get up there, and I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: like potentially game stacking this game.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: We know Utah games can get crazy.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: We know Charlotte Kanes can get crazy, So I like
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: this game a lot from the Charlotte side. We saw
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: LaMelo come off the bench last game and absolutely nuke
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: off the bench in limited minutes. It's not going to
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: project amazing at seventy seven hundred, but you know price
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: going down, you know minutes are stabilizing in a close game.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: He's gonna close here. So I think LaMelo's interesting con
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: is in play. Brandon Miller, fresh off getting ejected which
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: killed my lineups wildly, in play Miles Bridges, I like here,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Diabate I think is in play.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So I like Charlotte a lot here.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's one guy in Charlotte that like
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: stands out as the overall best play. But LaMelo and
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Brandon Miller getting love for good reason, Miles Bridge is
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: gonna get some love.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I like all three those guys. I like con and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I like the about it.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I like the starting five for Charlotte, and then if
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Sexton starts again over LaMelo I think he becomes wildly
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: in play as well in a revenge spot if you
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: care about that sort of thing.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: And then from the Utah side market is out, Nurkic
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: is questionable.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: We saw him sit the other night when he was questionable,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: so all of a sudden, if he sits as well,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Philipowski becomes a really really good play here. You know,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: whole start sixty one hundred is pricey for him, but
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: with no Mark and no NRK and Kevin Love playing
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: limited minutes, most likely you know hard not to at
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: least look at him here. Yeah, I love played twenty
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: four minutes last time out. If Nurk is out, I
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: think we can go right back to him. But I
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: think you can play both Nurk and Kevin Love together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Probably not ideal, and you're probably eating into their each
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: individual's upside a little bit, but at their respective price tags,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I think they're both wildly in play.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I think sense Ofba looks okay.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I think Heante George looks really really good, especially on
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: a slate with salary, not really.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: At a premium, because there's value all over.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I like getting into Kante George here, my boy Isaiah Collier,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I like him, so kind of the wait and see
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: approach with Utah.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: They're gonna look good.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: They're in a great spot against Charlotte, and I definitely
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: want Charlotte exposure this slate again, it's easy to see
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: why I like Boston, San Antonio Clippers and the Miami
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: and an indie game isn't getting a ton of love
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: just because of the spots later on and how good
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: they look. So again, as always with these Saturday shows,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: news is gonna come out.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Weekends in the NBA tend to.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Be a little bit wonky, So just know that going
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: in and know that you know news is gonna come
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: out throughout the day that we expect that we don't expect,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: So just be it. Be prepared to again, like I
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: said at the beginning being of the bdo be prepared
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: to be able to change your lineups and be at
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: a computer because news on this slave will probably be
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: probably be coming throughout the day and throughout the evening.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: That is all I got. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Haim is going to be on next week, so I
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: hope you guys enjoy him. I appreciate any feedback. Good
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: luck tonight and let's ship it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Guys, spiked hands, step step and sprits and the set
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: spike
