0:09
Speaker 1: All systems going clear the left.
0:11
Speaker 2: M h, what is going on? Everyone back again for
0:44
Speaker 2: a Wednesday edition of the NBA Show. Got my guy
0:47
Speaker 2: Matt here with me. Matt, how you doing today? I
0:51
Speaker 2: got a bunch of big prize pools up top. How
0:53
Speaker 2: are you are you doing today?
0:55
Speaker 3: I'm good Man chatted a little bit before the show. Uh, yeah,
0:58
Speaker 3: some good contests today, A big, big version of that
1:01
Speaker 3: eighty eight. So hopefully one of us can take it down,
1:05
Speaker 3: or one of our members, someone that we know or
1:07
Speaker 3: someone that we're close with. So yeah, big two hundred
1:10
Speaker 3: fifty k up top tonight, So let's get after it.
1:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it. Good luck to anybody that is
1:15
Speaker 2: playing that one tonight. I know that we got a
1:17
Speaker 2: few in there. See hopefully somebody in our discord, somebody
1:21
Speaker 2: that's a member or even just watches these YouTube YouTube
1:24
Speaker 2: shows and supports us that way. I hope that you
1:25
Speaker 2: guys have some some good lineup tonight. But yeah, we
1:29
Speaker 2: had a little bit of confusion with the show earlier today.
1:32
Speaker 2: Had it set to stream at like two fifty fifty
1:35
Speaker 2: five Eastern, so I saw we had a lot of
1:36
Speaker 2: people in here a few hours ago. So sorry about
1:39
Speaker 2: the confusion there, so with up some people in chat
1:42
Speaker 2: got Mike he was in here earlier. Sean go collect
1:45
Speaker 2: Bobo so trade the Wizards Yet sounds like that's happening Seech.
1:48
Speaker 2: McCollum and Trey both out tonight. I got a guy
1:51
Speaker 2: Nuance in here. Shout out to him on the Furfey call.
1:54
Speaker 2: Scooter gonna be at the garden tonight. That'll be there.
1:57
Speaker 2: Should be a fun game. Clippers getting healthy with the
2:00
Speaker 2: Harden and Kawhi there, so that'd be fun. I've got
2:02
Speaker 2: Nate d Gang Green talking about Okay, see Matt, Matt
2:07
Speaker 2: knows ball, so he probably thinks that Go Bear's pretty good.
2:09
Speaker 2: I would imagine we got William interested in here all right. Yeah,
2:15
Speaker 2: so off the top, what are just some real quick
2:19
Speaker 2: slate overviews? What are you what are you looking at
2:21
Speaker 2: for this game slate just from like a thirty thousand
2:23
Speaker 2: foot view perspective.
2:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like the big thing right now.
2:28
Speaker 3: It's really hard to you know, I'm writing a slate
2:31
Speaker 3: plan before we've got on the show. It's it's really
2:34
Speaker 3: hard to do much without knowing the news. With Cade, yeah,
2:38
Speaker 3: because if he's in, you know, he's a really good
2:40
Speaker 3: spend up option, of course, and if he's out, it
2:44
Speaker 3: makes you know, basically everyone on Detroit viable, so hard
2:48
Speaker 3: to really know what to do with this slate until
2:51
Speaker 3: we get that news. The midday downgrade is never good,
2:54
Speaker 3: so I kind of lean towards he's out, but again,
2:57
Speaker 3: if he played, he's a really good spend up option.
2:59
Speaker 3: So that's kind of how I see it. Other than that,
3:02
Speaker 3: like a similar situation in Denver because we don't know
3:05
Speaker 3: about those guys.
3:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of classic NBA just waiting on injury stuff.
3:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll definitely talk through some some of the situations
3:15
Speaker 2: for Detroit, but I do think that it's a it
3:17
Speaker 2: is a bit of a trickier situation now because I
3:20
Speaker 2: think that the field is probably gonna be running to
3:23
Speaker 2: Dennis Jenkins if Kate is out, because we saw him
3:26
Speaker 2: have a lot of success earlier in the season. But
3:28
Speaker 2: they're pretty healthy outside of missing obviously Tobias Duran and
3:32
Speaker 2: then if Cad were to miss, especially at the guard
3:34
Speaker 2: because they didn't have Ivy or stats are around when
3:37
Speaker 2: Caid was missing those games earlier. So I kind of
3:39
Speaker 2: I wonder how that rotation is going to look if
3:42
Speaker 2: Cad were to.
3:42
Speaker 1: Miss saying, but they're also cheap.
3:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, very cheap for sure. And I think that Dannis
3:49
Speaker 2: will start, if I had to guess, I think that
3:51
Speaker 2: he just makes the most sense. It kind of had
3:53
Speaker 2: like the Cade like role with when Kate was out,
3:57
Speaker 2: Like we're kind of saying, he was like eighty percent
4:00
Speaker 2: pretty much, so I kind of would expect something like that.
4:03
Speaker 2: If anything. You know, they got Lilvert back too, so
4:05
Speaker 2: they could kick out Sass the rotation. But there's some
4:08
Speaker 2: ways that it can go. I definitely think that you'd
4:11
Speaker 2: want to get some Detroit guys if Kid does get
4:13
Speaker 2: ruled out.
4:14
Speaker 3: It's weird too, because Dannis is like now all of
4:16
Speaker 3: a sudden weirdly back in the rotation like after he
4:19
Speaker 3: wasn't for a while.
4:21
Speaker 1: So it is tricky. But I'm kind of with you.
4:23
Speaker 3: I kind of lead towards Dannis because he's played twenty
4:26
Speaker 3: five minutes in the past two games, and he was
4:28
Speaker 3: the guy when Cad was out earlier. But it is
4:30
Speaker 3: murky because like as far as, like in my opinion,
4:34
Speaker 3: the pecking order for them, as far as like how
4:37
Speaker 3: they see those guards long term, is Dannis last, Like
4:41
Speaker 3: you could put Sass or Ivy in whatever order. Probably
4:44
Speaker 3: Ivy because of the draft capital they spent on him,
4:47
Speaker 3: But like Dannis is kind of more of a flyer.
4:50
Speaker 3: So I feel like tonight it's Dannis. But again, I
4:54
Speaker 3: would really want him to start.
4:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess. I guess because over the first game,
5:00
Speaker 2: we we'll just go right into Detroit stuff. Kind of
5:02
Speaker 2: easier to do it that way. But yeah, I kind
5:04
Speaker 2: of that's kind of what we're alluding to with the
5:06
Speaker 2: point guard stuff. Whoever is going to be starting, I
5:09
Speaker 2: think is the guy that you should be prioritizing if
5:11
Speaker 2: Kid were to be out, I do. I do think
5:13
Speaker 2: it's Danis, Like you, I think kind of the easiest
5:17
Speaker 2: way to go about it would be like probably Max
5:22
Speaker 2: one of Danis and Sasser. I think those are two
5:24
Speaker 2: guys that would kind of eat into each other's workload
5:27
Speaker 2: if Kid were to be out, and then like it'd
5:30
Speaker 2: probably be like a Max one of LeVert, Duncan and Ivy.
5:37
Speaker 2: I think I'm just not sure how how they can
5:40
Speaker 2: find enough minutes for all three of those guys if Kid.
5:43
Speaker 2: Even if Kid were to be out at I think
5:44
Speaker 2: it's going to be it's gonna something's gonna have to
5:47
Speaker 2: give there, so I'm not really sure who's gonna be
5:49
Speaker 2: the one. I also don't think that Ivy's role would
5:52
Speaker 2: change that much, so he's kind of my least favorite.
5:54
Speaker 2: I kind of I would anticipate Asaar to pick up
5:57
Speaker 2: more ball handling, like it'd be a lot of Danis
5:59
Speaker 2: and a Sar hand on the ball with Kate out out,
6:01
Speaker 2: because we've kind of seen that with a star running
6:03
Speaker 2: the second units. I don't think that it's all of
6:05
Speaker 2: a sudden gonna shift to Ivy's way. More so, if
6:08
Speaker 2: Kate were to miss, just think it's gonna be a
6:10
Speaker 2: lot of us are in Danis. So if anything, you
6:13
Speaker 2: could just say like a max two of anybody that
6:15
Speaker 2: would benefit from Kate out to like a Sar, Ivy Lavert,
6:20
Speaker 2: Danis Sasser and uh yeah and Duncan too. Probably just
6:24
Speaker 2: say max two of all that big grouping. But I
6:27
Speaker 2: really like Paul Reed tonight at center at five K.
6:30
Speaker 2: I think people if he if he went off last game,
6:34
Speaker 2: people will probably be playing him at the same clip
6:36
Speaker 2: that they did last two nights ago. Whatever it was
6:39
Speaker 2: when he kind of failed at chalk, he was eighty
6:42
Speaker 2: ninety percent on in most contests and now he did
6:45
Speaker 2: get a price increase to five K, but he's only
6:48
Speaker 2: looking at like thirty five to forty percent ownership. I
6:51
Speaker 2: think he's great tonight. I'm gonna go right back to him.
6:53
Speaker 2: I really don't have too many fears going right back
6:55
Speaker 2: to him. He ran into some foul trouble. Also, the
6:58
Speaker 2: blowout didn't really help him. He was trending for thirty minutes.
7:01
Speaker 2: So I love Paul read one of my favorite values tonight,
7:03
Speaker 2: And then same thing for Stuart. At five point five K,
7:05
Speaker 2: he looks really good with the power forward eligibility. The
7:08
Speaker 2: bigs is kind of where you want to attack Chicago,
7:10
Speaker 2: their team that's been really giving up a ton around
7:13
Speaker 2: the basket, and that's been the trend all season long.
7:16
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm totally fine with the big tonight going
7:18
Speaker 2: back there. What about you?
7:20
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, I love read here picking on the Bulls
7:22
Speaker 3: with big men that it's been a winning strategy, and
7:25
Speaker 3: I'm with you kind of, you know. I like that
7:28
Speaker 3: he didn't explode last game because that's going to keep
7:30
Speaker 3: his ownership a little bit down tonight, at least a
7:33
Speaker 3: little bit. He'll still be owned, but not like nearly
7:35
Speaker 3: the clip he was the other night because of his
7:38
Speaker 3: price increase.
7:39
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with you.
7:39
Speaker 3: I like Read a lot. He's my favorite play, and
7:42
Speaker 3: I'm also with you that it's kind of murky like
7:44
Speaker 3: the Guard situation. They're cheap enough though, where I feel
7:47
Speaker 3: like you definitely want the starter between Sasser and Jenkins,
7:51
Speaker 3: who I think it's gonna come down to. I, you know,
7:57
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know how I feel about
7:59
Speaker 3: playing them both together because they're so cheap. It is
8:01
Speaker 3: a big enough slate where I don't really love to
8:03
Speaker 3: do it, but Sassar is shooting, are eligible? Just I
8:06
Speaker 3: have to wait and see what their starting lineup looks like.
8:08
Speaker 3: But yeah, Detroit News is certainly what we're what we're
8:11
Speaker 3: waiting on.
8:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, to answer some questions really quickly, Corey Kispert is
8:18
Speaker 2: on Washington and also out, So do not play Corey Kispert. Yeah,
8:24
Speaker 2: he kind of said you you could play. We're you
8:26
Speaker 2: talking about Sassar and Danis as the guys you could
8:30
Speaker 2: play together.
8:31
Speaker 3: I was talking about Sassar and Danis just because I
8:33
Speaker 3: actually they were Yeah.
8:35
Speaker 2: What about this one? Read and Stewards, I think you can,
8:37
Speaker 2: but not something I don't generally don't really love to
8:41
Speaker 2: play two bigs on the same team together kind of
8:43
Speaker 2: battling for the same stats.
8:46
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:46
Speaker 3: Same, I think you can because individually they both look
8:49
Speaker 3: like good plays, But I do think like their ultimate
8:52
Speaker 3: ceilings come at the expense of the other. That said,
8:57
Speaker 3: I do think that positive correlation in NBA is often
9:00
Speaker 3: like not accounted for enough. So while I don't think
9:03
Speaker 3: there's a ton of positive correlation between Stewart and Reed
9:06
Speaker 3: like together, like maybe the game just plays out in
9:10
Speaker 3: a way where you want as much Detroit as you
9:12
Speaker 3: can get, doesn't really matter who it is. So like, yeah,
9:15
Speaker 3: I think that those two are like fine together, but
9:17
Speaker 3: know that you're probably capping each of their ultimate ceilings
9:20
Speaker 3: by playing them together.
9:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh yeah, I did make a mistake. Corek Kispert
9:25
Speaker 2: is back tonight, but still he's in Washington, so doesn't
9:28
Speaker 2: really matter for this game. For the Chicago side, it
9:32
Speaker 2: sounds like Kobe White has a chance to miss. He's questionable.
9:36
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's really been much news there,
9:39
Speaker 2: so I don't. I don't Nothing really on Detroit or
9:42
Speaker 2: on the Chicago side is sitting out to me in
9:45
Speaker 2: a big way. I think the ways that you want
9:46
Speaker 2: to attack Detroit defensively is with shooters, So I would
9:50
Speaker 2: say like order is in an okay spot. But prices
9:55
Speaker 2: are up there and all these guys, I think they're
9:57
Speaker 2: all price pretty appropriately. Trey Jones should have a pretty
10:00
Speaker 2: big role with Kobe white out. I think Matas has ceiling,
10:04
Speaker 2: but things can always go poorly for him if he's
10:06
Speaker 2: not living up to Billy Donovan's expectations. I'm kind of
10:11
Speaker 2: I never really like Vuchi either, just he got it
10:13
Speaker 2: done lastly. I don't think it's the disclosed them against Detroit.
10:17
Speaker 2: They have really good rim defense. I'm kind of off
10:19
Speaker 2: of the Chicago side.
10:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm off the Chicago tight side too.
10:24
Speaker 3: Like it's hard not to like look at Vous right
10:27
Speaker 3: now with how he's playing and his price tag in
10:29
Speaker 3: this role. But I'm never like excited to play Vouch.
10:33
Speaker 3: So tonight's no different there. Matas price increase a little bit,
10:37
Speaker 3: he's playing well, those would be the two guys for me.
10:42
Speaker 3: If I'm playing one line up, I probably don't play either,
10:44
Speaker 3: but Vouch. I do think Vouch is at least intrigued.
10:47
Speaker 3: I mean, he's playing big minutes right now and he's
10:50
Speaker 3: on a little bit of an eater, so like I'm
10:52
Speaker 3: not playing him because of that, but worth noting.
10:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, Kispert is not on this team, so that's
11:01
Speaker 2: why we're talking about him. But yeah, he's back tonight
11:03
Speaker 2: when we get to Washington. We'll cover that.
11:06
Speaker 1: Such a nothing.
11:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, Toronto and Charlotte. First game of the night
11:11
Speaker 2: that we kind of or at least first game on
11:13
Speaker 2: the slate that we skipped over front end of a
11:17
Speaker 2: back to back for Charlotte here, Brandon Miller did it
11:20
Speaker 2: downgraded to questionable. They've generally been limiting these guys on
11:24
Speaker 2: back to backs. LaMelo, his range of outcomes for minutes
11:27
Speaker 2: is really unknown. I think on a back to back
11:29
Speaker 2: probably ends up on the lower side of things. But
11:32
Speaker 2: both these teams are playing pretty solid defensively right now.
11:35
Speaker 2: Raptors have done a really good job of limiting lead scores.
11:38
Speaker 2: They have a bunch of pretty solid defenders in the
11:40
Speaker 2: starting lineup, and the room defense actually been pretty good
11:43
Speaker 2: with and without Yaka Purtle on the court. I don't
11:46
Speaker 2: think that much is standing out for me on the
11:48
Speaker 2: Charlotte side. That might change a little bit if Brandon
11:51
Speaker 2: Miller were to be out. I think that Con would
11:54
Speaker 2: see a little bit of a boost. Colin Sexon a
11:56
Speaker 2: little bit of a boost there. Somebody's gonna have to start.
11:58
Speaker 2: I don't it's usually in Sion James. They are pretty
12:02
Speaker 2: healthy right now at the wing positions. I'm not really
12:04
Speaker 2: sure who's gonna befit the most. But I don't really
12:07
Speaker 2: see these guys as must have plays. Mussi Diabate at
12:10
Speaker 2: five point three K is intriguing as a pivot off
12:13
Speaker 2: some of the guys in that lower five km range
12:15
Speaker 2: at center, but I don't really think I'm going to
12:18
Speaker 2: be prioritizing Charlotte right now. It's kind of been a
12:21
Speaker 2: losing formula to like invest heavily into teams playing against
12:26
Speaker 2: Toronto because they've been playing really, really good defense as
12:30
Speaker 2: of lates. I'm kind of okay getting away from them.
12:34
Speaker 2: As for the Toronto side, I think Quickly is my favorite.
12:38
Speaker 2: He has pretty good numbers against the Hornets this season.
12:41
Speaker 2: Should be guarded by LaMelo Ball, so pretty easy matchup.
12:44
Speaker 2: But I think that we talk about Charlotte or at
12:47
Speaker 2: Toronto a lot on shows that we do together, and
12:49
Speaker 2: it's really tough to find ceilings for these guys, especially
12:52
Speaker 2: now that Barrett is back in our lives, so it's
12:55
Speaker 2: making it even tougher. So what are you looking at
12:58
Speaker 2: on the Toronto side or anything in this game in general?
13:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'll go to Charlotte after I touched on Toronto.
13:03
Speaker 3: From the Toronto side. It's exactly what you said. Now
13:05
Speaker 3: that they're all healthy, it's hard to find ceilings within
13:08
Speaker 3: any one guy, like at least predicting who it's gonna be.
13:10
Speaker 3: I do think at their price points, Barrett stand out.
13:13
Speaker 3: He's getting the most ownership. He's a little bit too
13:15
Speaker 3: cheap for this matchup for his role, sixty three hundred,
13:18
Speaker 3: you know, just a little bit too cheap for him
13:20
Speaker 3: compared to how the other guys are priced.
13:22
Speaker 1: You could say the same for Quickly.
13:25
Speaker 3: I watched a like a three minute video on how
13:27
Speaker 3: on Colin Murray Boyle's and how good he is defensively
13:31
Speaker 3: and how like Toronto like might have like snuck into
13:35
Speaker 3: like a legit, legit guy. I don't know about that.
13:39
Speaker 3: I liked him in college. He's been impressive, you know,
13:43
Speaker 3: when he's gotten chances in Toronto. From a DFS perspective,
13:46
Speaker 3: very up and down at forty five hundred with power
13:49
Speaker 3: forward eligibility starting at center.
13:51
Speaker 1: I don't hate it.
13:52
Speaker 3: I don't love it either, but I do like this game,
13:55
Speaker 3: and I want exposure from Toronto because I like Charlotte.
13:59
Speaker 3: I was on Charlotte the night against Oka. See unfortunately,
14:02
Speaker 3: okay Se couldn't keep up. So again, price tags like
14:05
Speaker 3: aren't rising here, and especially if Miller is out. Even
14:09
Speaker 3: if Miller isn't out, I love Miles Bridges here at
14:11
Speaker 3: seventy four hundred. I mean, he's just too cheap for
14:15
Speaker 3: how he's playing right now and what I expect to
14:17
Speaker 3: be a competitive game. This is basically a pick him
14:19
Speaker 3: spread in Charlotte.
14:20
Speaker 1: So I like.
14:21
Speaker 3: Bridges a lot here. I like Con a lot if
14:24
Speaker 3: Miller is out. If Miller is in, I like Miller himself.
14:27
Speaker 3: So really looking at just those three between Con, Miller
14:30
Speaker 3: and Bridges, with Bridges my favorite, I just don't trust
14:34
Speaker 3: LaMelo's minutes. On the front end of a back to back,
14:37
Speaker 3: he was trending towards like playing thirty plus and then
14:41
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, on the front and second half
14:43
Speaker 3: of a back to back he played like twenty five
14:45
Speaker 3: in each, So I'm learly there would I be surprised
14:50
Speaker 3: or shocked to be played like a legit workload and
14:53
Speaker 3: then like they held them out tomorrow. No, but I
14:55
Speaker 3: don't want to put my money on that when they've
14:57
Speaker 3: got other guys I like more. So I like this
15:00
Speaker 3: game from a dast perspective. I'm going to be overweight
15:02
Speaker 3: on it.
15:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, see if you can get it right two times
15:06
Speaker 2: in a row. That was a great call by you
15:08
Speaker 2: going to the Hornets guys there. I was pretty off
15:10
Speaker 2: of them, but got to a few shares of Brandon
15:13
Speaker 2: Miller after seeing him in your course, so they had
15:15
Speaker 2: to give you a shout out for that one. But yeah,
15:17
Speaker 2: I think you broke it down beautifully. The Toronto stuff
15:20
Speaker 2: very tough. I think I agree that Argie Barritt is
15:22
Speaker 2: kind of a standout from a pricing standpoint. I think
15:25
Speaker 2: matchup wise, Barnes has a pretty good matchup. The Hornets
15:31
Speaker 2: are giving up the thirty five percent of opponents field
15:33
Speaker 2: or sorry opponents field goals are thirty five percent of
15:37
Speaker 2: opponents field goals are coming at the rim against the Hornets,
15:40
Speaker 2: which is towards the top of the league, and I
15:42
Speaker 2: think that kind of sets up Scotty Barnes is a
15:44
Speaker 2: guy that's going to be attacking the basket more so
15:46
Speaker 2: to be in a pretty good matchup, So I think
15:48
Speaker 2: I like him a bit. And then yeah, the range
15:50
Speaker 2: of outcomes for CMB, for Murray Boyles is pretty wide,
15:53
Speaker 2: so kind of tough to feel confident about that. All right,
15:57
Speaker 2: Next name, let's go to what do we have here?
16:00
Speaker 2: Wizards and Sixers. We get to talk about our guys,
16:03
Speaker 2: boys Corey Kispert, who is back tonight after missing a while,
16:08
Speaker 2: but they will be without some of the older guys.
16:11
Speaker 2: Chris Middleton and CJ will be out tonight, expecting I
16:16
Speaker 2: think it'll be bub and Champagnee sliding too the starting lineup.
16:19
Speaker 2: With Kisper coming off the injury, he's probably coming off
16:22
Speaker 2: the bench. I would imagine we'll have to see the
16:25
Speaker 2: other game does It is in the first lock window,
16:27
Speaker 2: so we'll see. We get ample time to react to it.
16:30
Speaker 2: And then Philly also getting healthier. They're getting Walford and
16:33
Speaker 2: Kayley Ubrey back, so this will be as healthy as
16:36
Speaker 2: they've been in the entire season. What that does for
16:39
Speaker 2: the rotation, I think it's just gonna be. I think
16:41
Speaker 2: they'll probably keep it the way they have been, giving
16:43
Speaker 2: a ton of minutes to their main guys. I think
16:45
Speaker 2: Ubray probably eats in a bit to like the Barlow
16:49
Speaker 2: and Paul George. Maybe a little bit of VJ, but
16:52
Speaker 2: I mean VJ is just playing so so good right now.
16:54
Speaker 2: They really hit in a big way with him in
16:56
Speaker 2: the draft. Definitely a game that is intriguing, big spread,
17:01
Speaker 2: but Philly did just let Denver hang around, play down
17:04
Speaker 2: to competition, let them win, and then you got some
17:06
Speaker 2: value on the other side in Washington. I think this
17:08
Speaker 2: game is pretty enticing from a DFS perspective. What are
17:13
Speaker 2: you looking at in this one?
17:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, so from a thirty thousand foot view, I think
17:17
Speaker 3: it's really appealing from a DFS perspective, But when you
17:20
Speaker 3: like land in closer, I find it a little more difficult.
17:24
Speaker 1: It's from the Philly side. Like you mentioned, they're healthy now.
17:27
Speaker 3: And I do think that Ubra specifically eats in debt
17:32
Speaker 3: basically everyone but MAXINMBID, even Edgecomb a little bit.
17:36
Speaker 1: Like I still think that Edgecomb is in play because
17:38
Speaker 1: it's a great matchup an he's sixty.
17:40
Speaker 3: Seven hundred, but I would like him a little bit
17:42
Speaker 3: more if Ubra were out Maxi and Embid. I think
17:48
Speaker 3: really good spend up options. It's an interesting slate where
17:51
Speaker 3: like there isn't a ton of like supreme Chalk, which
17:55
Speaker 3: is kind of rare in NBA. Ownership is pretty flat
17:58
Speaker 3: across the board, so MAXI n B will get some ownership,
18:02
Speaker 3: but not a ton. And I think they're both certainly
18:05
Speaker 3: viable in all formats of spend up options and beats.
18:08
Speaker 3: Price tag is up but warranted. Maxi's price tag is
18:11
Speaker 3: kind of plateaued and it probably shouldn't have. You see
18:16
Speaker 3: his price difference on Fandel Like MAXI looks like a
18:20
Speaker 3: I think, a really strong play at ninety nine hundred,
18:22
Speaker 3: even with them being healthy. From the Washington side, I
18:27
Speaker 3: see Champagne projected for a ton of ownership.
18:31
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm cool with it.
18:33
Speaker 3: I don't look at this slate and be like, I
18:35
Speaker 3: have to play justin Champagne, but I see no issues
18:38
Speaker 3: with it at forty six hundred, Coolabali playing well fifty
18:41
Speaker 3: one hundred, fine with it. Washington has a bunch of
18:44
Speaker 3: guys that are in play. No one that I like
18:46
Speaker 3: have to play as far as I'm concerned. How about yourself?
18:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, for me, I do agree that CHAMPAGNEE and bub
18:55
Speaker 2: are really good options. Tonight. I really like them tonight.
18:59
Speaker 2: I just think that with them getting the starting nod
19:01
Speaker 2: and probably playing a good amount of minutes, with this
19:04
Speaker 2: being a back to back, and their main guys playing
19:06
Speaker 2: a lot last night, there's a lot to light there.
19:08
Speaker 2: The Sixers are not really that scary defensively, so I
19:11
Speaker 2: think you even have a plus matchup for them. But
19:14
Speaker 2: Bub is a guy that I'm I'm pretty excited about playing.
19:16
Speaker 2: We've seen him be a guy that can really fill
19:18
Speaker 2: up the stat sheet at times, and I think I
19:22
Speaker 2: also think that adding him into the starting lineup could
19:24
Speaker 2: help a guy like Trey Johnson who's been asked a
19:26
Speaker 2: little bit more to be on ball. You get like
19:29
Speaker 2: more of a prototypical ish type point guard in Bub
19:32
Speaker 2: Carrington out there versus CJ. McCollum, who's more of like
19:34
Speaker 2: a scorer. I think that's gonna help Trey Johnson long term.
19:38
Speaker 2: And also I think it's kind of like the plus
19:41
Speaker 2: side for like Trey going to Trey Young going to Washington.
19:43
Speaker 2: I think that will help Gray and and.
19:46
Speaker 1: We'll get those guys. Yeah, we'll get those guys. Bucket
19:49
Speaker 1: some with deal and like.
19:51
Speaker 3: One thing you mentioned it and like I kind of
19:53
Speaker 3: take the opposite approach to this. You were, like you
19:56
Speaker 3: mentioned how they just let the Nuggets like hang around
19:58
Speaker 3: with them, and the Nuggets actually won that a game
20:00
Speaker 3: in overtime. I believe I kind of take the other angle,
20:04
Speaker 3: where like I feel like Philly's not going to let
20:06
Speaker 3: that happen again.
20:07
Speaker 1: They're not going to play with their food tonight.
20:08
Speaker 3: They're gonna put away Washington early and just stomp on
20:11
Speaker 3: their throats. Now, Philly's not like the best team in
20:14
Speaker 3: the world either, so that's not guarantee. But I'm kind
20:17
Speaker 3: of telling myself that story a little bit and leaning
20:20
Speaker 3: towards other games. But I certainly understand why guys are
20:25
Speaker 3: projecting well here.
20:25
Speaker 1: It makes sense.
20:27
Speaker 2: I definitely agree with you there. I think that is
20:29
Speaker 2: there's a strong possibility that that could happen. On the
20:33
Speaker 2: flip side, though Washington has been playing pretty well as
20:36
Speaker 2: of Yeah, I don't know how much of that is
20:38
Speaker 2: due to like having Middleton and CJ out there. We
20:40
Speaker 2: kind of talked about the beginning of the season that
20:42
Speaker 2: they would be more competitive this year, having guys like
20:45
Speaker 2: true veterans that can compete, and you take them away,
20:48
Speaker 2: like how how good or bad does that make them
20:50
Speaker 2: now is kind of what I'm a little bit worried about.
20:53
Speaker 2: So I kind of I definitely agree with you, Like
20:55
Speaker 2: there's a good chance that Philly could just run away
20:57
Speaker 2: with this game pretty early and then you never you
21:00
Speaker 2: don't really need anything in this game.
21:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, But to your second point, like Washington did just
21:04
Speaker 3: destroy Orlando last night, so like, yeah, like it's not
21:08
Speaker 3: inconceivable that they win this game even and if it's
21:11
Speaker 3: even a competitive game, some guys from.
21:13
Speaker 1: Washington are going to get there. To your original point.
21:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I guess kind of a talking through this
21:20
Speaker 2: game as if it were to be competitive, then that
21:22
Speaker 2: would make I think Coolibali and Trey Johnson pretty interesting options.
21:28
Speaker 2: I don't think they'll be as owned as I'm seeing
21:30
Speaker 2: right now on Sabersim, but I do kind of I
21:34
Speaker 2: think that, like some mini correlations of this game make
21:36
Speaker 2: a lot of sense, because I highly, highly highly doubt
21:39
Speaker 2: that Washington is blowing out Philly in this game. I
21:42
Speaker 2: feel like if it's close, it comes from a high
21:46
Speaker 2: scoring affair. I think it's less of a defensive battle.
21:50
Speaker 2: So I would say if I like the pairing of
21:52
Speaker 2: like Sar and MAXI or Kolibali and Embiid. I think
21:55
Speaker 2: that those two kind of make a lot of sense.
21:58
Speaker 2: Koli Bali, I saw that go collect is asking who's
22:01
Speaker 2: going to be guarded by cool Bally. It's gonna be
22:04
Speaker 2: Coolibally on MAXI. I believe you.
22:08
Speaker 3: Could all out games stack this game, like with how
22:11
Speaker 3: cheap Washington is and like the expensive Philly guys. So
22:15
Speaker 3: the most expensive guy in Philly is sar at seventy
22:17
Speaker 3: to two hundred. Really easy to stack this game up
22:19
Speaker 3: if you think Washington's competitive here, because I'm with you,
22:21
Speaker 3: like they're not blowing out Philly here. So I think
22:26
Speaker 3: you could play Philly without playing Washington. But if I
22:29
Speaker 3: play a lot of Washington, I definitely want Philly. And
22:32
Speaker 3: if this game is close, it's more than likely a
22:35
Speaker 3: high scoring affair.
22:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think you could set a rule and
22:38
Speaker 2: your optimizer saying like, if I have three Washington guys,
22:42
Speaker 2: then at least one of Maxior Embiid, and then I
22:45
Speaker 2: guess you could extend that rule to VJ. I don't
22:47
Speaker 2: know if I would do that with with Paul George
22:49
Speaker 2: because we did see him get schemed out last game
22:51
Speaker 2: in a close game. I think that the Maxie, Embiid
22:55
Speaker 2: and VJ grouping are pretty safe from a minut's perspective. Y.
23:00
Speaker 2: I like Trey Johnson a good bit too. I think
23:02
Speaker 2: that he's he's pretty solid. He only played twenty two
23:04
Speaker 2: minutes last game. I think adding, like I said, with
23:06
Speaker 2: bub on the court could help him a bit. So yeah,
23:09
Speaker 2: I like that. And Alex Sarr has been playing really
23:11
Speaker 2: really good basketball this season, playing really improved in basically
23:14
Speaker 2: every category. But I do have a small fear that
23:18
Speaker 2: he could struggle against elite guards or elite centers like
23:20
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid. You're really not too worried about, like the
23:24
Speaker 2: Wendell Carter and Gogas. He did struggle against Rudy Gobert
23:27
Speaker 2: as well.
23:28
Speaker 1: It's a good call, all right.
23:31
Speaker 2: So it's enough time in that game. Let's head over
23:32
Speaker 2: to Boston. Now Denver coming in as double digit underdogs.
23:36
Speaker 2: They'll get all their guys back minus Yokich and Joe
23:38
Speaker 2: Vile of course, but Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, Jamal Murray
23:42
Speaker 2: all back for this game. Prices are up there on
23:44
Speaker 2: these guys, now, I would be surprised if if they like,
23:51
Speaker 2: if they get there, I don't know. Like, this is
23:52
Speaker 2: a tough matchup. Boston's been playing great, have one of
23:55
Speaker 2: the best two way guys in the league, Jalen Brown,
23:57
Speaker 2: been playing great. Denver struggling on defense as of late.
24:01
Speaker 2: I think they probably will get a little bit better
24:04
Speaker 2: getting these guys back, but still, I would imagine Aaron
24:07
Speaker 2: Gordon and Christian Brown are pretty limited until they're fully healthy.
24:11
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're really there yet, so kind
24:14
Speaker 2: of think that Boston can run away with this game.
24:18
Speaker 2: But yeah, what do you think about this one? It's
24:19
Speaker 2: kind of tough for me to make the case to
24:21
Speaker 2: get to these Denver guys.
24:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, the only Denver guy I have even remote interest
24:26
Speaker 3: in is Jamal and like that's like pairing Jamal with
24:28
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown, like, you know, hoping for a close game here.
24:31
Speaker 3: But the more I look at this slate, the more
24:34
Speaker 3: I'm more, the more unlikely I am to do that,
24:36
Speaker 3: just because there's other spots I like more so I
24:38
Speaker 3: don't like anything else from Denver. Hard to not at
24:41
Speaker 3: least shout out Jamal with how well he's playing. But yeah,
24:43
Speaker 3: this game looks like a like a mess from the
24:45
Speaker 3: Denver side, and a game that Boston should win pretty handedly.
24:50
Speaker 3: So I'm kind of out on this game altogether, you know,
24:54
Speaker 3: except for, like I said, Murray and then Jalen Brown, Derek.
24:58
Speaker 1: White on the Boston side fine plays.
25:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Cada is a little interesting, but compared
25:08
Speaker 2: like comparing him to some of the other low five
25:09
Speaker 2: KSE centers, don't think that you really need to prioritize him.
25:12
Speaker 2: The reason I like him a little bit maybe it's
25:15
Speaker 2: just more of like a like bet his overs in
25:17
Speaker 2: the betting market. But the Nuggets have been really really
25:20
Speaker 2: bad rebounding when you take away Joe Val and Joki,
25:23
Speaker 2: which makes a ton of sense, like paring or exchanging
25:26
Speaker 2: them for uh Drawn Holmes, who is honestly more of
25:30
Speaker 2: like an undersized center like I would probably categorize him
25:33
Speaker 2: more as like a power forward. And then Zeke Nauji,
25:36
Speaker 2: who was just he's playing really well right now, but
25:39
Speaker 2: is in general not that great. I think that Caida
25:42
Speaker 2: is a little interesting. Maybe look at some of his
25:44
Speaker 2: overs in the rebounding market. He did pretty well. Who
25:47
Speaker 2: was the last game against Chicago I believe had a
25:50
Speaker 2: double double and hit in a pretty big way from
25:53
Speaker 2: a DFS perspective, But that's kind of you need the
25:56
Speaker 2: double double from him, and he's still not like running
25:58
Speaker 2: away with minutes by any means. So lil thin, but
26:01
Speaker 2: I agree this game doesn't have a ton of fantasy appeal. Okay,
26:05
Speaker 2: next game, we'll head over to everyone's favorite team, the
26:09
Speaker 2: Orlando Magic heading to Brooklyn now back to back for them.
26:13
Speaker 2: Obviously got embarrassed in Washington last game, and we saw
26:19
Speaker 2: the benching to get a ton of run as they
26:21
Speaker 2: went away from the starting lineup. They just showed no
26:24
Speaker 2: resistance and were really low energy. Yeah, I don't know.
26:29
Speaker 2: I think this is a decent spar from about bounce back.
26:32
Speaker 2: The Nets are bottom four in defense over the last
26:34
Speaker 2: two weeks, a team that generally struggles to defend the paint,
26:37
Speaker 2: so lines up similar similar to last night, where Washington
26:40
Speaker 2: is a rim funnel style defense. The issue with Orlando
26:45
Speaker 2: now is these guys did see a pretty big price increase.
26:48
Speaker 2: You got Anthony Black up to seventy seven hundred, Desmond
26:51
Speaker 2: Bane up to eighty one hundred, and Paula at ninety
26:52
Speaker 2: six hundred. I do think Paulo still has upside in
26:55
Speaker 2: this matchup. We've seen the triple double upside from him,
26:58
Speaker 2: but as we mentioned yesterday on the show that he's
27:02
Speaker 2: like generally not worthy of this price tag if you
27:05
Speaker 2: just were to take his like points per minute rates
27:09
Speaker 2: into account, he's more of like a mid ak guy.
27:12
Speaker 2: So I think ninety six hundred you're kind of asking
27:14
Speaker 2: for a lot. And I do think that the Nets
27:18
Speaker 2: have a good game plan to defend a guy like
27:21
Speaker 2: Paula where they're going to be double teaming a ton,
27:23
Speaker 2: So I kind of am okay getting away from the
27:25
Speaker 2: Orlando side. Don't think that Wendell Carter Junior is worth
27:29
Speaker 2: the six k price tag either, even if it's a
27:32
Speaker 2: in an okay matchup. And then kind of nothing for
27:34
Speaker 2: the Nets either, what about you?
27:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, like the GP, the GPP player and me
27:41
Speaker 3: wants to go back to Orlando here because it's a
27:44
Speaker 3: really good spot coming off like a night after a
27:47
Speaker 3: couple of these guys were really really popular and they're
27:50
Speaker 3: in another good spot here. The problem is, like you mentioned,
27:52
Speaker 3: the price tags are up. Ben Carro is the guy.
27:56
Speaker 1: Though.
27:57
Speaker 3: If I'm going to get to anyone, I think it's
27:58
Speaker 3: man Carroll. I don't think it will be hard to
28:00
Speaker 3: find the salary. It just you're playing him over guys
28:03
Speaker 3: that are going to project better at ninety six hundred.
28:06
Speaker 3: That said, prior to last night, like ever since the
28:10
Speaker 3: PB no J comments came out, this guy has been
28:12
Speaker 3: on a straight roll, dropping like fifty five Fantasy points
28:15
Speaker 3: plus every game. So if that's the Ben Cara we're getting,
28:19
Speaker 3: I'll pay ninety six hundred for that. So I am
28:22
Speaker 3: a little bit interested in him in tournaments for the
28:25
Speaker 3: reasons you mentioned, for the GPP game theory aspect of.
28:29
Speaker 3: He was fifty percent last night in some tournaments and
28:31
Speaker 3: now he's going to be one percent. So yeah, that
28:35
Speaker 3: intrigues me. From the Brooklyn side, nothing, you know, Sharp's
28:40
Speaker 3: price is up now that he had been really good
28:43
Speaker 3: with Claxton out can't go there. There's nothing on Brooklyn
28:47
Speaker 3: and they might be the least own team on the slate.
28:49
Speaker 1: And it makes sense.
28:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. Yeah, my bad, I'm kind of skipping over games.
28:55
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the way that Sabrisim has it is
28:57
Speaker 2: different than how we have it on the Stone. But
28:59
Speaker 2: we'll we'll go back to that New Orleans game. Have
29:04
Speaker 2: we touched on this in the beginning. I don't know
29:07
Speaker 2: if either of us really had a lean. I think
29:09
Speaker 2: that it's kind of always up in the air when
29:11
Speaker 2: you get the mid day downgrade. But that game is
29:15
Speaker 2: the first one on the slate, so I would I
29:17
Speaker 2: would say that we'll have plenty of time. We did
29:19
Speaker 2: talk through what we would expect if Kate were to
29:21
Speaker 2: be out, though, so just rewind a little bit. We
29:27
Speaker 2: do have a betting train on the discord. Yep, okay,
29:31
Speaker 2: next game on the slate or I guess going back
29:33
Speaker 2: a bit is the New Orleans and Atlanta one. This
29:36
Speaker 2: one is the one that kind of catches my eye
29:38
Speaker 2: the most, and I'll let you kick things off here.
29:41
Speaker 2: Got back to back for the Pelicans. Herb and Trey
29:45
Speaker 2: Murphy are questionable. Tray was great last night, and then
29:48
Speaker 2: a Kongu questionable Tray obviously out with all the trade
29:50
Speaker 2: rumors circling, So what are you what are you looking
29:52
Speaker 2: at this game?
29:54
Speaker 3: Yeah?
29:55
Speaker 1: Really really intriguing.
29:55
Speaker 3: Here finally a slate where Jalen Johnson isn't projected for
29:59
Speaker 3: major ownership. I don't know if I buy that, especially
30:03
Speaker 3: if Kid is out like he's been so good. I
30:06
Speaker 3: know the price tag is up like outside of last game.
30:09
Speaker 3: I know he wasn't great last game, but he has
30:10
Speaker 3: been so good this game, like oozes GPP or DFS upside,
30:16
Speaker 3: I should say, so, he's the first guy I look at, like,
30:19
Speaker 3: especially if Okongwu is out, like just opens up so
30:23
Speaker 3: much rebounding equity, scoring equity, and like, yeah, it makes
30:28
Speaker 3: Atlanta worse, but I'm not worried about that, and a
30:30
Speaker 3: match up with New Orleans. So like, Jalen Johnson is
30:34
Speaker 3: the first thing I'm looking at from this game. I
30:36
Speaker 3: want exposure to him for sure. Even if o Kangu
30:39
Speaker 3: is in, I still like him. If he's out, I
30:40
Speaker 3: like him more. And then from the New Orleans side,
30:44
Speaker 3: like I see Derek Queen projecting for ownership at a
30:47
Speaker 3: couple of places, I feel like we need the Murphy
30:51
Speaker 3: News to really know what to do with New Orleans.
30:54
Speaker 3: I definitely want exposure there, but I'm not entirely sure
30:57
Speaker 3: from whom.
30:58
Speaker 1: But I know I want Jalen Johnson. How do you
31:00
Speaker 1: see it?
31:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. I think Jalen is probably the
31:04
Speaker 2: top spent up on the slate.
31:05
Speaker 4: For me.
31:06
Speaker 2: We just saw Lebron, who is twenty years older than
31:09
Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson put up a massive game. I would honestly
31:12
Speaker 2: expect a very very similar stat line to Jalen Johnson tonight.
31:16
Speaker 2: And this is a big game too for Atlanta because
31:17
Speaker 2: they they own the Pelicans pick, so they need to
31:21
Speaker 2: win to kind of make sure that they're securing a
31:24
Speaker 2: top three or whatever lottery picks. I think that they're
31:27
Speaker 2: gonna play US one, straight up, play this game all
31:29
Speaker 2: the way to the end. A ton of minutes for
31:31
Speaker 2: these guys, really really good matches all round. You can
31:35
Speaker 2: really make the case for a lot of guys and
31:38
Speaker 2: basically anybody that's playing against New Orleans right now, they're
31:40
Speaker 2: given a ton of points at the basket. They are
31:42
Speaker 2: dead last and three point defense this season, so I
31:45
Speaker 2: think that is really good for guys like Nicole Alexander Walker.
31:49
Speaker 2: I think a congu, if he plays, is really really strong.
31:52
Speaker 2: I even have a good amount of interest in Porzingis
31:55
Speaker 2: regardless of a congo being in or out. I think
31:57
Speaker 2: he can only get better if a congo were a miss.
32:00
Speaker 2: But this could be a spot where I see him
32:02
Speaker 2: playing like twenty five minutes, they're starting to overlap a
32:04
Speaker 2: congu and porzingis a little bit more now, so there's
32:08
Speaker 2: more minutes upside for him. It's not just like a
32:10
Speaker 2: one or the other type thing, but he's only fifty
32:13
Speaker 2: seven hundred. I can remember the last one we've seen
32:15
Speaker 2: Chris soaps that cheap. And then also for Dyson, I
32:19
Speaker 2: like Dyson over Nika Alexander. I think that he's just
32:21
Speaker 2: doing a lot more with the peripheral stats and the
32:24
Speaker 2: way that he scores is a lot easier for him
32:26
Speaker 2: to get buckets against a team like the Pelicans where
32:29
Speaker 2: they have no rim resistance at all. He's he's not
32:33
Speaker 2: taking threes like he's looking to get into the pain,
32:34
Speaker 2: score around the basket, and adding in the rebounds and
32:38
Speaker 2: assists has really improved his ceiling. So I like Dyson
32:40
Speaker 2: a good bit here. I do want to talk through
32:42
Speaker 2: some rules though, because I think that is kind of
32:44
Speaker 2: important when considering these Atlanta guys. If a Congo is in,
32:47
Speaker 2: I would be a max two of Jalen, a Coongu,
32:50
Speaker 2: and Porzingis. If or you could just be Max one
32:53
Speaker 2: of k P and a Congou if you want to
32:55
Speaker 2: play a little bit more aggressively. I don't know if
32:57
Speaker 2: I would love having two of Congu and Porzingis in
33:01
Speaker 2: my lineup instead of Jalen. I would be Max two
33:05
Speaker 2: of Jalen Nikki Alexander and Dyson, or the same thing
33:08
Speaker 2: could be Max one of Dyson and Niki Alexander, and
33:11
Speaker 2: then Max one of the secondary guys uh Resa, Schevitt
33:14
Speaker 2: and Canard, and then if a Congo was out, then
33:17
Speaker 2: you could just add in Mogay and Asa Newell as
33:20
Speaker 2: a Max one between him and Porsin or between those
33:23
Speaker 2: guys in Porzingis. As for the Pelicans, I love honestly,
33:29
Speaker 2: I like both Zion and Derek Queen here. I am
33:33
Speaker 2: a little bit worried about the minutes for Zion though,
33:35
Speaker 2: with this beging back to back. He played thirty three
33:37
Speaker 2: last night. That's like the most he's played in a
33:40
Speaker 2: really long time, so I could see him getting managed
33:42
Speaker 2: a bit on a back to back. But I think
33:44
Speaker 2: Queen is in a really good spot here. Just does
33:48
Speaker 2: a lot of everything, and he should be able to
33:50
Speaker 2: get more scoreing going here. With how the Hawks have
33:52
Speaker 2: really been struggling defensively around the around the rims, I
33:55
Speaker 2: think Queen is the best option. Six point three K
33:57
Speaker 2: with power forward eligibility is really really strong. And then
34:01
Speaker 2: if Herb and Murphy were to be out, don't think
34:04
Speaker 2: it changes a ton. I think they were getting Bryce
34:07
Speaker 2: McGowan's and Michael PV and probably like Hawkins and Carlo
34:10
Speaker 2: mccovich into the rotation a little bit more. I don't
34:14
Speaker 2: really know who would start, though, I think McGowan's is
34:17
Speaker 2: probably a lock to start, and then it's between probably
34:21
Speaker 2: Carlo or Michael PV. I think that they did go
34:23
Speaker 2: with a triple big lineup recently with Medkovich out there,
34:27
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's kind of just Zion and
34:31
Speaker 2: Queen and kind of move on, but definitely a game
34:34
Speaker 2: that I could see really really hitting in a pretty
34:36
Speaker 2: big way, and you might need some Pelicans again if.
34:39
Speaker 3: I remember correctly too, I think there was some back
34:41
Speaker 3: and forth between Queen and Atlanta, like their social media
34:46
Speaker 3: earlier in the year, because obviously that's the trade that
34:48
Speaker 3: got them, is the Queen trade.
34:50
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm in on Queen here. I like that.
34:53
Speaker 3: I like that kind of Queen Jalen Johnson pairing and
34:56
Speaker 3: then potentially getting more.
34:58
Speaker 1: I like the Dyson Daniels shout out to.
35:00
Speaker 3: So this game does really scream like upside if New
35:04
Speaker 3: Orleans could keep it competitive.
35:05
Speaker 2: Yep, I agree, k Town. We did go over the
35:10
Speaker 2: Detroit situation earlier in this show, so I would just
35:14
Speaker 2: scroll back, but I think Ivy overlivery personally. Okay, Clippers,
35:19
Speaker 2: do you want to add anything to that?
35:21
Speaker 3: No, I think that literally the only thing Lavert has
35:23
Speaker 3: going for him in that scenario is the small forward eligibility.
35:26
Speaker 1: But other than that, like, he's not in play for
35:28
Speaker 1: me at all.
35:29
Speaker 2: Yep, Okay, Clippers at at the Knicks are guys Skeen
35:34
Speaker 2: McGavin gonna be boots in the ground here. Nick's really
35:38
Speaker 2: really struggling on defense right now, really on both ends
35:41
Speaker 2: of the court. I saw a tweed come across my
35:42
Speaker 2: timeline a few nights ago that kar Anthony Towns is
35:46
Speaker 2: posting like career lows across the board. He's had a
35:49
Speaker 2: quite a bit of a role change under Mike Brown.
35:53
Speaker 2: It's just a different situation now with the Knicks, and
35:59
Speaker 2: the Clippers are playing really good on defense, so it's
36:01
Speaker 2: kind of I don't know. I think that there's some
36:03
Speaker 2: ways that it could go poorly here for New York.
36:05
Speaker 2: But with that being said, with them, with their recent struggles,
36:08
Speaker 2: I could also see the minutes really shooting up in
36:10
Speaker 2: a big way. I also want to keep an eye
36:13
Speaker 2: on the starting lineup. It has been Mitch rob starting.
36:16
Speaker 2: They probably continue to go that route, but I think
36:19
Speaker 2: that Duce is honestly playing really well, and I think
36:22
Speaker 2: that he should be starting over him personally with Josh
36:24
Speaker 2: hard out. As for DFS in this game, these guys
36:28
Speaker 2: are all just kind of fine, like Last Man in
36:29
Speaker 2: type of plays or just like borderline options. I don't
36:32
Speaker 2: think I'm going to get too much in this game.
36:34
Speaker 2: In single entry, the Clippers guys are all priced up
36:38
Speaker 2: for life without Harden, but Hardened will be back tonight.
36:41
Speaker 2: I think James has the best matchup between him and Kawhi,
36:45
Speaker 2: but he's also not really posting. Those huge DFS lines
36:48
Speaker 2: that we've seen are the huge stat lines that we've
36:50
Speaker 2: seen from earlier this season. So I'm kind of off
36:53
Speaker 2: of this game. Is there anything sneaky that you like
36:56
Speaker 2: because ownership is going to be really really low in
36:58
Speaker 2: this one.
36:59
Speaker 3: No, I don't like this game, But to kind of
37:03
Speaker 3: thinking about what you were talking about with Towns, he's
37:06
Speaker 3: interesting to me because he's the cheapest he's been like
37:10
Speaker 3: all season. He's like eight hundred less than this average
37:12
Speaker 3: tag this year, and he's not gonna get ownership, So
37:16
Speaker 3: that's a combination. I like I don't like the matchup.
37:19
Speaker 3: I don't like how he's playing, but cheapest price he's
37:23
Speaker 3: been all year and no ownership, like that's a you know,
37:27
Speaker 3: find that combination a lot. So I probably won't play
37:30
Speaker 3: him because I'm Larry. I don't like the spot, et cetera.
37:33
Speaker 3: Like he's certainly got upside in tournaments at this price,
37:38
Speaker 3: He's not powerful eligible anymore, which will take off his ownership.
37:41
Speaker 3: So I think he's intriguing in tournaments. If I were
37:45
Speaker 3: playing one fifty, he might be someone i'd want to
37:47
Speaker 3: get over the field on.
37:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you for sure. I really want
37:52
Speaker 2: Mitchrob back to the bench. I think that would help
37:54
Speaker 2: cat out a lot because now you are for sure
37:57
Speaker 2: pairing him up with Zubac, which I think is a
37:59
Speaker 2: match of the he could definitely eat against cause we
38:02
Speaker 2: talked about a lot with Kelly. He's just a very
38:04
Speaker 2: difficult guard for guys like Zuboc, and just what it's
38:09
Speaker 2: been kind of like impacting his upside sharing the court
38:12
Speaker 2: with Mitchrob a bit. He did go for sixty three
38:15
Speaker 2: against the Clippers last season, so kind of just solidifies
38:18
Speaker 2: him as being a guy that you should definitely be considering,
38:21
Speaker 2: but I really really want Mitch rob out of the
38:23
Speaker 2: starting lineup personally.
38:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with that, And like title and I talked
38:26
Speaker 3: about this and we did our show on Monday. Like,
38:29
Speaker 3: sometimes when you know a ton about a sport, it
38:30
Speaker 3: can obviously be helpful in DFS, but oftentimes it can
38:33
Speaker 3: hurt you, And like this is a good example of that.
38:36
Speaker 3: Like if I didn't know anything about NBA, about the NBA,
38:39
Speaker 3: excuse me, And I was just playing DFS tonight and
38:41
Speaker 3: I saw that Karl Anthony Towns was the cheapest he's
38:45
Speaker 3: been off season, averaging a very solid number at his
38:49
Speaker 3: price point and not getting ownership, Like I would be
38:54
Speaker 3: not locked, I would.
38:55
Speaker 1: Be playing a ton of that guy.
38:57
Speaker 3: So like we know a lot, so like it's we
39:00
Speaker 3: can't just do that, But when you look at it
39:02
Speaker 3: in that sense, he's a good play.
39:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's definitely a really really strong Bilo
39:06
Speaker 2: spot for Cat. And I think a lot of like
39:09
Speaker 2: you said, like no one know and ballin watching the
39:10
Speaker 2: games can sometimes help or hurt you. A lot of
39:13
Speaker 2: the best DFS players don't even really watch the games,
39:16
Speaker 2: so they're probably definitely keeping their eye on Cats and
39:19
Speaker 2: Nights I think it's a good shout out too. I'm
39:21
Speaker 2: gonna try to get some more of him tonight, just
39:23
Speaker 2: for the reasons you mentioned. All right, make sure I
39:27
Speaker 2: got the right game of Okay, Yeah, Sun's at Grizzlies.
39:31
Speaker 2: Main injury news in this one is John Morant still questionable,
39:36
Speaker 2: been questionable for quite some time. Don't really have a
39:39
Speaker 2: strong lean on what's going to happen there. Santy is
39:43
Speaker 2: that a new injury tack. I see that he's questionable
39:46
Speaker 2: on Saberson, but I didn't see that earlier in the
39:49
Speaker 2: injury report.
39:51
Speaker 1: I sign that it came out this afternoon.
39:53
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so Santy is questionable, Vince Williams is quite well,
39:59
Speaker 2: the showing questionable on Basketball Monster. I just don't think
40:02
Speaker 2: that they've reported those guys yet.
40:05
Speaker 1: No, I think they did. I got to think those
40:07
Speaker 1: guys aren't questionable.
40:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So yeah, I mean that that's pretty big.
40:11
Speaker 2: I mean that could open up a lot here. I
40:14
Speaker 2: think Jaw is obviously the biggest one. That'd be really
40:16
Speaker 2: big boost for Camp Spencer, Jaron Jackson, and Jack Landel
40:20
Speaker 2: to a lesser degree. But Santy being out and potentially
40:24
Speaker 2: Vince Williams being out, that true who those minutes really
40:29
Speaker 2: go to. I think it's definitely KCP would be a
40:31
Speaker 2: guy that'd benefit probably some more Gigi Jackson out there.
40:36
Speaker 2: I will say that I don't think the matter was
40:38
Speaker 2: that great. People could be playing really, really good defense
40:40
Speaker 2: this season. I think they're a little bit more of
40:42
Speaker 2: like a subpar rim defense if anything. So the Bigs
40:45
Speaker 2: and anybody that's gonna be attacking the basket would be
40:47
Speaker 2: in the best spot. So Jock kind of a guy
40:50
Speaker 2: I'm looking to a little bit, but he's pretty bad
40:53
Speaker 2: in comparison to Paul Reid, and the same thing for
40:57
Speaker 2: Mark Williams. Like those guys are just mainly pivots. I
41:00
Speaker 2: do think Booker is interesting tonight. He's getting a little
41:03
Speaker 2: bit of ownership. The Grizzlies have generally struggled against lead guards.
41:07
Speaker 2: I don't especially with such a coward out that definitely
41:13
Speaker 2: leaves them a little thin at guys that can defend
41:15
Speaker 2: on balls. I think Booker's in a pretty pretty good
41:17
Speaker 2: spot here, but I don't like him if he's getting
41:19
Speaker 2: a ton of ownership. Last time I checked, he was
41:21
Speaker 2: in like the twenties. I'm not sure what he's looking
41:24
Speaker 2: at now, but that'd be one i'd look to get
41:26
Speaker 2: underweight on personally if I knew that he was gonna
41:28
Speaker 2: be twenty plus percent in some of the contests I'm playing. Yeah,
41:32
Speaker 2: In general, I don't think that the game has a
41:34
Speaker 2: ton of appeal, but it could get a lot better
41:36
Speaker 2: if those Memphis Q tags are out.
41:39
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I'm with you on Booker, Like, I think
41:40
Speaker 3: the reason he's getting love is just the pricing here,
41:43
Speaker 3: Like he's also his average tag this year is like
41:46
Speaker 3: ninety one hundred, so you're getting a discount on him
41:49
Speaker 3: from what he's been.
41:50
Speaker 1: But he's price for he should be with this role in.
41:53
Speaker 3: The offense with how Phoenix is kind of more of
41:56
Speaker 3: a like grinded out team now than they ever have been.
41:59
Speaker 1: So I like him, but I don't like him at ownership.
42:02
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Mark Williams is intriguing.
42:05
Speaker 3: As a pivot off Read, but I like Read significantly
42:07
Speaker 3: more so probably I am not playing him. Feel very similarly
42:12
Speaker 3: about Jack Landell at the same price. Like Landell, Williams,
42:16
Speaker 3: and Cata all look real similar to me as good plays,
42:20
Speaker 3: but not as good as Paul Reid. So all of
42:22
Speaker 3: them are good pivots off of reed, but I think
42:25
Speaker 3: I can just play Read and get different elsewhere. For me,
42:28
Speaker 3: I want to play Camp Spencer if Jiz out, Like
42:31
Speaker 3: he's a lock for me in that scenario forty plus
42:34
Speaker 3: fantasy points or forty Fantasy points last night in the
42:37
Speaker 3: same spot, Like, I think you just play him, especially
42:42
Speaker 3: with shooting our eligibility at sixty three hundred with Jo out.
42:47
Speaker 1: And you know, kind of just waiting and seeing on
42:49
Speaker 1: the rest of the Memphis guys. But for me, it's Cam.
42:52
Speaker 3: Spencer would be the guy that I would pretty much
42:54
Speaker 3: just plug in and move on if Jiz out.
42:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a really impressive game last night. I
43:00
Speaker 2: was watching that. I think at thirteen points in the
43:02
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, just was just really took over the game
43:05
Speaker 2: and won it for them, So that was very impressive.
43:07
Speaker 2: But I agree he'd be a guy I would want
43:09
Speaker 2: to prioritize if a Jaw would be out, And I
43:12
Speaker 2: don't know how you're gonna pivot onto him because this
43:16
Speaker 2: game's at six. There's only or sorry eight PM, there's
43:19
Speaker 2: only one other game at eight and that's Utah and OKAC,
43:22
Speaker 2: And you really don't have a lot to move off
43:25
Speaker 2: of to get to Cam. So it's gonna be interesting.
43:28
Speaker 2: Hopefully just get the news early and we could react
43:30
Speaker 2: in time, because you'd kind of be drawn dead if
43:33
Speaker 2: you have Cam with with jaw In.
43:36
Speaker 1: I agree with that.
43:37
Speaker 3: I really want to play him at Jay's out, but
43:39
Speaker 3: he's like unplayable at this price with the Jah.
43:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd have to get really unique or creative with
43:45
Speaker 2: the way that you build for that scenario. You'd probably
43:47
Speaker 2: have to have like Booker and multiple pieces from OKAC
43:52
Speaker 2: to get onto Cam Spencer.
43:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is conceivable with Shape potentially being out. And
43:58
Speaker 3: then if he's out, I think then all of a sudden,
44:00
Speaker 3: the Utah pieces at least look more viable because the
44:04
Speaker 3: game less of a blow out, etc. So I didn't
44:07
Speaker 3: think there are ways to do it, but you certainly
44:08
Speaker 3: have to have a plan at hand.
44:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, all right, we'll go over to that. Okay,
44:14
Speaker 2: see game Utah, My Utah Jazz looking like one of
44:18
Speaker 2: the best teams to attack every single time they're on
44:20
Speaker 2: a slate, dead last in defense, but playing pretty good offensively.
44:25
Speaker 2: I don't evenally need to talk about where they're bad
44:28
Speaker 2: at because it's basically everywhere. They are packing the paint
44:30
Speaker 2: a lot, so it's kind of led to a lot
44:32
Speaker 2: of three point volume, which has always been the case
44:34
Speaker 2: for how Utah plays defense. They are pretty high turnover rate,
44:38
Speaker 2: team transitions bad, so a lot to like about Okay
44:42
Speaker 2: see here. And then you get also the Q tag
44:44
Speaker 2: on Shay, biggest on the slate because this would be
44:47
Speaker 2: a spot where it's almost borderline you're playing like two
44:51
Speaker 2: to three. Okay, see you guys. In my opinion, I'm
44:54
Speaker 2: really liking Jalen Williams regardless of Shay's availability. I'm probably
44:59
Speaker 2: going to be overweight to his I don't know where
45:03
Speaker 2: we have it at, but I'm seeming like the low,
45:06
Speaker 2: like low double digits. I'll get over that pretty heavily.
45:10
Speaker 2: I really really like j Deil tonight. He had a
45:12
Speaker 2: really I think his first game of the season or
45:14
Speaker 2: one of his first games of the season came against
45:16
Speaker 2: Utah and he went for forty five is Draftings points
45:20
Speaker 2: in just twenty five minutes. He's kind of always been
45:22
Speaker 2: a Jazz killer, so I'm really liking him, really like
45:26
Speaker 2: chet if Shae were to be out, and I think
45:28
Speaker 2: AJ Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins are both honestly really really
45:32
Speaker 2: good values right now, regardless and they can only get
45:35
Speaker 2: much much better. So how are you approaching the okay
45:38
Speaker 2: See stuff? Utah? For me, I would say is a
45:41
Speaker 2: cross out of these prices are tough to get to.
45:44
Speaker 3: So from okay See, I'm with you on Jalen Williams,
45:48
Speaker 3: like he's the top option in my opinion, even if
45:50
Speaker 3: Shaye is in, you know, price considered. If Shaye is out,
45:53
Speaker 3: I think he looks like a smash play at seventy
45:55
Speaker 3: four hundred, a guy that's going to gain a lot
45:57
Speaker 3: of scene, as he should. I like a lot in
46:00
Speaker 3: that scenario. Also, like I think a lot of people
46:02
Speaker 3: are gonna spend down on okay See. I think an
46:04
Speaker 3: interesting way to play it is to play Jalen, Limbs
46:06
Speaker 3: and Chet together because those guys like aren't super pricey,
46:10
Speaker 3: but they're pricey enough to you know, prohibit you from
46:12
Speaker 3: getting to other good plays. But I think their roles
46:15
Speaker 3: just become really, really really good in a great matchup.
46:18
Speaker 3: If Shay is out, and then you know, you get
46:22
Speaker 3: like the Aj Mitchell, who would look like a borderline
46:25
Speaker 3: lock Cason Wallace. It's almost like dealer's choice here. You're
46:30
Speaker 3: gonna really want okay See exposure for sure, if Shaye
46:33
Speaker 3: is out, just a matter of like how your lineup's
46:36
Speaker 3: constructed as far as who you get, whether you want.
46:39
Speaker 5: To spend up on both Jalen and Chet, maybe you
46:43
Speaker 5: want to just go one of those guys and play
46:46
Speaker 5: aj Mitchell and Aaron Wiggins like they're gonna have plays
46:49
Speaker 5: all over the board that are in play from.
46:51
Speaker 1: The Utah side. I'm more with you here. The one
46:55
Speaker 1: guy that he'll keep playing.
46:57
Speaker 3: I play him like every single slate and he gets
46:59
Speaker 3: there for him almost every single slate is Isaiah Collier.
47:03
Speaker 3: Price tag is up a little bit, but man like,
47:06
Speaker 3: I feel like he's gamescript proof.
47:09
Speaker 1: To a point.
47:10
Speaker 3: If this game gets crazy out of hand, like thirty
47:13
Speaker 3: points at the end of three, he's not going to
47:15
Speaker 3: play the fourth.
47:16
Speaker 1: But if it's like fifteen eighteen, I think he does.
47:19
Speaker 1: So Isaiah Collier is.
47:21
Speaker 3: The guy that I'm interested in, interested in in. He
47:24
Speaker 3: doesn't project well, he's not going to at this price point,
47:27
Speaker 3: but I just I love his game.
47:29
Speaker 1: I still think his upside is.
47:32
Speaker 3: High at that price point, and I think he's an
47:34
Speaker 3: interesting way to play a little of this game and
47:37
Speaker 3: not have it be from the OKAC side. So he's
47:39
Speaker 3: far from a lock for me, but I am interested
47:42
Speaker 3: in him because I play him all the time and
47:43
Speaker 3: he always gets there for me. And then okay see,
47:46
Speaker 3: is just a matter of how many do you want?
47:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, A good shout out on Isaiah Collier. He's been
47:54
Speaker 2: playing honestly really good this season since been been next
47:58
Speaker 2: to see his improved I did kind of skip over Nurkic.
48:03
Speaker 2: I think Nurkic is definitely in play. Kind of something
48:07
Speaker 2: that's day back to last season with hardensign off the court,
48:11
Speaker 2: the okay see, rebounding takes a huge hit when he's out,
48:15
Speaker 2: and Nurkic has been playing pretty good. I mean, he
48:17
Speaker 2: did played really well against Klingon, who's a massive body
48:21
Speaker 2: and a really good rebounder. So swap him out for
48:25
Speaker 2: uh Chet, who's an underside, like just a smaller center
48:29
Speaker 2: like weight and strength wise, I think Nurkic could it
48:33
Speaker 2: could be a smaller Nurkic kind of bullys him around
48:35
Speaker 2: a little bit. Eighteen point spread though, it's like you
48:39
Speaker 2: really have to hope.
48:40
Speaker 3: Yeah.
48:41
Speaker 2: Things kind of go the same way they did with Portland,
48:43
Speaker 2: where it's like they were they hung around enough for
48:46
Speaker 2: the main guys to play full minutes but they didn't
48:50
Speaker 2: really I don't know, like there was it was borderline
48:52
Speaker 2: almost like full blowout territory. Nurkic got there towards the end.
48:56
Speaker 3: I am just like in on Nurkic in general right
48:59
Speaker 3: now though, Like did you hear his comments recently about
49:01
Speaker 3: Utah and just about how like they've embraced him and
49:04
Speaker 3: just kind of let him play his game. I think
49:06
Speaker 3: we're seeing a comfort level from him that we haven't
49:08
Speaker 3: seen in a long time.
49:10
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah, that's a that's a good show for sure.
49:12
Speaker 2: I think you are kind of you're definitely seen that,
49:15
Speaker 2: Like he's shown flashes of the old Nurkics, like when
49:18
Speaker 2: he was at his peak in Portland, Like he's actually
49:20
Speaker 2: playing really good basketball. I hope that they hold on
49:22
Speaker 2: to him for a little bit. I think that he's
49:24
Speaker 2: a solid backup behind Walker whenever he comes back.
49:27
Speaker 3: He's always been very very good offensively and a great
49:30
Speaker 3: DFS asset. It's just a matter of like getting playing
49:33
Speaker 3: time for him. But now he's playing very well because
49:36
Speaker 3: he's playing, like I said, with a level of comfort
49:38
Speaker 3: that he hasn't had and like security because they actually
49:41
Speaker 3: like him there.
49:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so the I think the benefit from this
49:45
Speaker 2: game from the UTA side is that the Utah side,
49:48
Speaker 2: they're going to be very very low owned. I think
49:50
Speaker 2: that Nurkic I'm seeing like thirteen percent on Sabers and
49:54
Speaker 2: that feels pretty high. I doubt he comes in. He's
49:57
Speaker 2: going to be a single day play for sure.
49:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, all these guys are going to be very very
50:01
Speaker 3: very low on. That's the only real reason to get there.
50:04
Speaker 2: Yeah. But I mean, if you if you really believe
50:07
Speaker 2: okay See's struggling as much as they were, Like Charlotte
50:11
Speaker 2: was able to put up a huge score on them,
50:13
Speaker 2: I don't know if Utah will be able to, but
50:15
Speaker 2: they are Like this is that people are saying that
50:17
Speaker 2: the Jazz are a playoff level type offense defense. They
50:21
Speaker 2: have a lot to improve on, but the offense is
50:23
Speaker 2: not the issue.
50:25
Speaker 1: It's funny.
50:27
Speaker 3: I think Utah, I like the I like Utah a
50:30
Speaker 3: lot kind of how I like Charlotte. I think Utah
50:32
Speaker 3: is better than Charlotte, But in that spot, I just
50:35
Speaker 3: like Charlotte. I don't really like Utah like I did
50:38
Speaker 3: Charlotte because okay See just really let their guard down
50:41
Speaker 3: last game, and I don't see that happening again. I
50:43
Speaker 3: feel like if this game is close, it's because okay
50:46
Speaker 3: See is not hitting shots, not because like Utah is rolling.
50:49
Speaker 3: So I don't want to load up on Utah here
50:52
Speaker 3: like I did Charlotte the other night.
50:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's probably just a max one of
50:56
Speaker 2: Utah right now. All right, that covers the Draft Kings
51:01
Speaker 2: main slate. We did get done in under an hour,
51:03
Speaker 2: so if we want to just gloss over the fandal
51:07
Speaker 2: stuff really quick, I will say that I didn't have
51:09
Speaker 2: enough time to look over Fandle tonight, but the Houston
51:16
Speaker 2: and Portland game is probably the one that I'm I'm circling.
51:18
Speaker 2: And then I also think Steph against Milwaukee is the
51:22
Speaker 2: spot i'd really really look to attack.
51:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, the slate is completely different on FANDLE because these
51:27
Speaker 3: three games all have like pieces that you want to play.
51:31
Speaker 3: So like, yeah, to your point, I think Houston and
51:36
Speaker 3: anytime Portland's on a slate right now, you're gonna want
51:39
Speaker 3: to target them and the team they're playing, and tonight
51:42
Speaker 3: is no different. So I think you want exposure there.
51:46
Speaker 3: You know, the Milwaukee Golden State game, like Yannis's minutes
51:50
Speaker 3: are are you know, starting to increase. He's projected to
51:54
Speaker 3: be twenty percent on on Fandel. Yeah, it's a completely
51:59
Speaker 3: different slate over there tonight because of the three games,
52:02
Speaker 3: So just kind of know what you're signing up for.
52:05
Speaker 2: Houston would be a team that I would probably get
52:08
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of most definitely particularly or mainly in
52:14
Speaker 2: Amen and Tari Easton. The Blazers are dead last and
52:18
Speaker 2: turnover percentage of season. That's what I love to see
52:20
Speaker 2: when considering those guys. I could really see, like Tari
52:24
Speaker 2: having four or five steals and just a ton of
52:27
Speaker 2: easy buckets. The same thing for all men he looked. Honestly,
52:31
Speaker 2: he's been playing really good, shooting pretty well from the
52:33
Speaker 2: like I think he's shooting like eighty five percent from
52:35
Speaker 2: the free throwing the season, so improving his his jumper
52:39
Speaker 2: a little bit, but I like his upside here a
52:41
Speaker 2: good bit. Same thing for KD two. He it's been
52:44
Speaker 2: a while since he's put together like a complete game.
52:47
Speaker 2: I honestly thought he was on his way to a
52:49
Speaker 2: massive game against Yeah, the Sun's the other night, kind
52:51
Speaker 2: of cooled off in the fourth quarter, but still I
52:54
Speaker 2: think a really good option was Finn gun out.
52:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Easton looks like a lot of FANDLE.
53:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks really really strong. All right, I think
53:03
Speaker 2: that's going to cover it. Does Lebron play? I mean,
53:06
Speaker 2: if you didn't see last night, he's TBD every single
53:09
Speaker 2: back to back, so we don't We don't really know.
53:11
Speaker 2: It's to be determined.
53:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have no idea, but he is a player
53:15
Speaker 3: throughout his career that has been very good on back
53:17
Speaker 3: to backs, so it's definitely worth monitoring if you're playing.
53:21
Speaker 2: On FANDUL big game too. I would expect him to play,
53:24
Speaker 2: honestly against the Spurs. I think it's a nationally televised game.
53:27
Speaker 2: Wemby's probably playing like I would think that they come
53:30
Speaker 2: out full, fully healthy, and I think that's gonna be
53:34
Speaker 2: a pretty fun game to watch.
53:35
Speaker 1: Yeah.
53:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I had nothing on the show in terms
53:39
Speaker 2: of bets, but I'll take a look afterwards. Nothing really,
53:43
Speaker 2: nothing really stood out when I finished up everything, But yeah,
53:46
Speaker 2: that's gonna do it. Any closing thoughts for you, met.
53:49
Speaker 3: No, just still waiting on the cave news. It's going
53:51
Speaker 3: to be a big one for this slate.
53:52
Speaker 1: Oh.
53:53
Speaker 3: Actually we did get Kobe White being out, so I
53:57
Speaker 3: know he was questionable now all of a sudden, like
53:59
Speaker 3: the Tray Joneses of the world, they're more in play,
54:02
Speaker 3: so just at least worth mentioning.
54:04
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, I think, yeah, Trey Jones would have a
54:07
Speaker 2: pretty strong role. Matas looks a little bit safer. And
54:13
Speaker 2: then yeah, I guess like like Voush could get there
54:15
Speaker 2: again just because he's gonna he's kind of the de
54:18
Speaker 2: facto point guard two on the team now, and like.
54:21
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, Detroit is not the same team
54:24
Speaker 3: now if you take out Durn and Caid, like they're
54:27
Speaker 3: just a completely even on defense taking. I know, obviously
54:31
Speaker 3: Thurren means a lot more than kid defensively. The Caid
54:33
Speaker 3: is out there so much, it's like they're just gonna
54:36
Speaker 3: be playing units that they haven't played a ton of,
54:38
Speaker 3: so makes the Chicago side more appealing.
54:42
Speaker 2: Absolutely, definitely keep an eye on that. Kind of think
54:44
Speaker 2: the game has a little bit more sneaky game stack
54:47
Speaker 2: potential if Caid were to miss. So good good out there,
54:51
Speaker 2: all right, good luck tonight everyone. Hopefully if you are
54:53
Speaker 2: playing the eight ofy eight, you come away with some
54:55
Speaker 2: cash and we'll get you guys. I'll be back tomorrow
54:58
Speaker 2: with title Matt will be back on Friday.
55:00
Speaker 6: Look, everyone has.
