0:47

0:50
it feels kind of light. Email six games kind of in the middle.
0:53
Six games fine with me. Four games, three games. That's where it
0:56
gets a little too thin for me. But pretty light on a Wednesday,
1:00

1:38

1:47
stuff. Hopefully we'll get all that stuff at the at the same time so
1:49
we could digest it a little bit better. But yeah, didn't have the
1:55
best showing last night and the qualifier. Trying not to kick myself too much
1:59

3:49
have projections for it, of course, little slate plan hal Rio's going to
3:52
attack it. His favorite plays, captains, etc. So if you're having
3:55
a tough main slate, if you can't late swap all day, Hey,
4:00
Showdown and getting the Night Street definitely a big edge over there. Six or
4:04
seven thirty Eastern Lockdown Rio. So we got thirty minutes after how the games
4:09
are broken up today, two at seven thirty, two at eight, one
4:13
at nine, one at ten, So pretty easy over here. Initial thoughts,
4:17
I'll throw it to you on that one, obviously waiting on that Pelicans
4:20
news of course, Lakers guys Q tags as always, But any initial thoughts
4:25
before we go game by game, No, not really. I mean it's
4:28
a chance that this could be Stars and Scrubs type slay depending on how the
4:32
Timberwolves and Pelicans news shakes out. So we could see guys like Luka and
4:36
Jokic get a ton of ownership already in pretty good spots in their respective matchups.
4:43
But yeah, I think that we could be could be looking at stars
4:46
and scrub lineup, which you know, if you always want to get different,
4:47
could go in the mid tier, which is pretty low to tonight.
4:50
The lower nine K the upper eight K range looks looks really good tonight,
4:54
so we'll definitely go through that when we get to the game by game stuff.
4:58
Yeah, let's do it. Let's jump right into a first game of
5:00
the night. What's going on? Nay the Dallas Mavericks Toronto Raptors two thirty
5:04
nine total Raptors or Mavericks three point favorites. Looking at the injury reporting this
5:10
one on the Dallas side, Maxi Klee but doubtful. Toronto side definitely more
5:14
interesting. Yaka Pearl questionable he left with an ankle injury two nights ago.
5:18
Chris Bouchet also questionable in this one. If we do get Yaka Pearl out,
5:24
I think it'll be Kelly Oh sliding in the starting lineup. Touch on
5:28
this Toronto side first though, what Yaka Pearl news does for you? Then?
5:31
Obviously, Luca looks like a strong play right now, I'm not sure
5:35
too many. He's definitely gonna get some ownership. But if none of these
5:39
Q tags miss, I think he'll probably be a little more balanced than Stars
5:42
and Scrubs. Only takes one or two of these Q tags to miss,
5:45
though Luca absolutely been on fire. You can play in regardless, But like
5:49
you mentioned earlier, the Jokich the Lucas of the world definitely have their ownership
5:54
rise if these Q tags are out and more value opens up. But start
5:58
Toronto side Sara yaka Pearl News and take it away from them. Yeah,
6:01
I mean, I think he has a pretty good chance of miss. I
6:04
had a pretty bad ankle turn last game was totally dominating for some of our
6:08
members against the Pacers. I believe he was at shoot around this morning,
6:13
but you never know. With an ankle, it could definitely swollow up as
6:15
the day progresses. So if he misses, probably see a really really big
6:19
role out of Kelly Olinok because they just won't have really any bigs behind him,
6:24
especially if if Chris Bouche were to miss. He kind of hasn't even
6:28
been in the rotation, so I wouldn't really worry about that. Too much,
6:30
But I don't even think that. I'm not sure if John Tay Porter
6:32
is even with the team anymore. They don't really have any other bigs outside
6:36
of Kelly Olinok behind Yaka Peartle. So you know, maybe we see some
6:42
Scottie Barnes at the five, maybe we see them run more small ball.
6:45
Bruce Brown would probably get in there, maybe Oshai Jordan Uara would be in
6:49
the rotation a little bit more. But yeah, Keller Limp would become a
6:51
really good play in my eyes if Yaka Peerle were to miss. He's been
6:56
a pretty solid fantasy point print. A producer was on him last late but
7:00
he had the whole fourth quarter, just didn't really get it done. But
7:03
tonight I think there'll be a different story with this matchup. Mavericks pretty bad
7:08
in the DVP rankings versus centers this season. I believe they're bottom eight.
7:13
But yeah, on the Maverick side of things, the Toronto the Raptor has
7:16
been terrible defensively, been trying to beat that drum for the past couple of
7:19
weeks, but they've been really bad since the trade deadline. Since the beginning
7:24
of twenty twenty four, really bottom four rim defense, bottom two defensive rating,
7:28
bott six three point defense. So I love Luka Doncic as a spind
7:30
up option tonight. Maybe the minutes come down a little bit after he played
7:34
forty one minutes, but we know that Jason Kidd is not afraid to run
7:39
him and Kyry Irving into the ground. This Mavericks teams. They need to
7:43
get wins right now. The West is really close, especially in like that
7:46
five to ten positioning in the standings. So I think the Luca gonna still
7:51
be out there for a good amount of mits, maybe not forty minutes,
7:55
maybe he gets like thirty eight, but he should definitely crush in this matchup.
7:58
Toronto just has no really no great on ball defenders. Scottie Barnes is
8:01
decent, but yeah, I think Luca is just a great spin up option
8:05
tonight. And then if we're not looking at Luca, I would definitely give
8:07
a strong hard look at Kyrie Irving. I believe that one of these guys
8:11
is going to put up a pretty solid GPP worthy score. Kyrie probably,
8:16
you know, he's a little bit less likely to reach that true ceiling outcome
8:20
share in the floor with Luca. But we've seen him do it a couple
8:24
of times alongside of him. Nine point three K not the best price tag
8:26
on him. Would much prefer him in the eight ks, but I still
8:30
think that he's in play at nine point three K. And then I guess
8:33
I'm not really considering any of these other Mavericks guys. I think Tim Harwood
8:35
Junior is kind of he's cheap enough to keep in your playerpool at five K.
8:41
Minutes of kind of a turning down lately post trade deadline with PJ.
8:43
Washington and some of these other guys mixing in there, Daniel Gafford, and
8:48
then same kind of for Derek Lively four point four K. Pretty good price
8:52
sect for him. Did get up to twenty one minutes last game, I
8:54
believe twenty two minutes, but him and Gafford kind of splitting those center minutes.
8:58
Him and PJ. Washington, who kind of makes it a little bit
9:01
harder for him to get the mid to twenty to low thirty minutes that we're
9:05
seeing early from him this season. And then on the Toronto side of things,
9:09
definitely have interests in Scottie Barnes. Ball handling role has been increasing.
9:13
Back to back games of double digit assist at around five minutes of touch time
9:18
per game in the last six games as well, and then if portal ward
9:20
of miss could definitely see a rebounding increase. He did have a triple double
9:24
last game as well, so I think that he could reach those numbers.
9:26
Again, I do like a Mania Quickly and both RJ. Barrett the Mavericks
9:31
defense been struggling in transition. Those two are kind of the best transition scores
9:35
on this on this Toronto team. But I do side with Quickly. I
9:39
think he's a little bit more upside in this matchup. Yeah, I like
9:43
it as well. Would you make any so in terms of ownership Quickly we'll
9:46
get some Bart, We'll get some Scottie, We'll get some If Yaka Purtle's
9:50
out, I think Kelly Oh gets all those guys, get some Bump.
9:52
I think Scotty for sure with the rebound. Like you said, Bouchet News
9:56
would actually be pretty important, I think because he'd have to play some minutes
10:00
if Yaka Purdle's out. Like you're talking, they just don't have bigs.
10:03
Not we're saying that I'd play Chris Bouche, but like I would like Kelly
10:05
Oh, even get bigger bump to Scotti, I buche and Yaka perdole out
10:11
expect him to have it like Scotty have to play bigger. Now, would
10:13
you make any rules quickly? Bear at Scottie, I think I'll do get
10:18
some ownership, and again it can only go up higher. Any of those
10:20
rules, would you max two of them at their price tags? Yeah,
10:24
I think I would definitely be max two of those three. And then I
10:26
like Bruce Brown too, especially if Yaka purdles out too. Again, he's
10:30
gonna have to play bigger, like he plays bigger than he is point guard
10:33
small ford elgibility, which is nice. Four K on a slate right now.
10:37
The value is okay right now. I mean if some of these we'll
10:41
get to this next game with the Pelicans. The big three are all questionable,
10:43
Trey Murphy's questionable two like we can see everyone the Pelicans be all the
10:48
value or if some of the Lakers situation, et cetera. But if all
10:52
these Q tags are in and we'll get that Pelicans news, that's the main
10:56
spot on the slate. I'm looking at. Bruce Brown is someone especially if
10:58
Yaka pert is out, I'll be looking at at four K they'll need his
11:03
rebounding as well. And I mean, you get twenty two right now and
11:05
a slate at four k right now, how I'm looking at it, and
11:09
then gets you the others in the mid tier gets you a Luca, it
11:11
gets you something like that. I'm totally good. I don't think we need
11:13
Valley's not so strong or I need thirty at four k today. So Bruce
11:18
Brown's definitely another guy I'll add there. Any Gary Trent Love probably not for
11:22
me and he doesn't really get a boost, but any last thoughts on him.
11:26
Otherwise it's just yet Quickly, Barrett, Scottie and Bruce for me and
11:31
then just Luker Bus on the other side. I guess I'll say, what
11:33
if Yakapura plays center's loaded, but man, he will be very very low
11:37
on He was crushing too, He was crushing. Yeah, he's been playing
11:43
pretty well the two man game with him and Scottie Barnes and man quickly looks
11:46
pretty good. Mavericks aren't the best team in DVP wise versus centers. They've
11:50
been a little bit better with the addition of PJ and Dan Gafford. But
11:54
yeah, I mean he'd be super low on. I probably wouldn't get there.
11:56
It'd probably take me good, probably over one hundred lineups to get to
12:01
Yaka Purtle, I would guess, just because there's some really really great spind
12:05
up options Simona's ad, Jokicic even you know, you got Drummond below,
12:09
so I doubt I would get to Pero tonight. Personally, Yeah, that
12:11
makes sense, and I will say center right now, Kelly Oh is just
12:16
center eligible. The two centers that are looking to be very popular, Drumming
12:20
and Zubach, so a lot of people will be playing those two if you're
12:22
throwing another center like a pearl. Pretty much any of these other centers we'll
12:26
get to. Jokic too. I think his ownership will have to be in
12:30
check to an extent because both Drumming and Zubac grating out very well. You
12:33
can obviously only play two on DK, so any other center not named them
12:37
should be very low owned. I think Purtle's a little interesting in Chalky teams
12:41
definitely if he does play monitor that Q take though, what's up, Charlie,
12:46
what's going on? Jason bad Bear, brud de Bear, whatever the
12:50
name is in discord, I know exactly who you are, mister Mike's daddy,
12:52
two in a row. Get to see it. Good to see you
12:54
as well, stupid roll. The next game on the slate, New Orleans
12:58
Pelicans. A lot of injury news in this one, Indiana Pacers two thirty
13:03
seven total. Looking at the spread of Pacers seven point favorites, seeing the
13:09
pacer the seven point favorites makes me think at least one of CJ, Zion,
13:13
Ingram, Trey Murphy. They're all questionable. Makes you think at least
13:18
one of those guys sit wouldn't be surprised to see multiple of them. This
13:20
game is at seven thirty eastern, right away at lock, so we will
13:24
get this news. But if I to speculate of Murphy, Ingram, Zion,
13:28
CJ, someone sitting CJ saidt last game, so I'd guess I'll throw
13:33
it to you on that. Alvarado's also out on this one. Deal with
13:37
the suspension Pacer side Aaron Neismith's question, all which means a little bit?
13:41
I mean relative to this Pelican's news, it doesn't mean much, but on
13:45
this sixth game, I think it could mean a little bit. Start Pelicans
13:48
side, how you see this injury news shaking out if then scenarios, of
13:52
course, everything will be updated projections, core reports, cash reports at chipinnation
13:56
dot com. You got to be a member. News will definit dictate this
14:00
late, but try and do some guest work here on the Pelican side and
14:03
talk about pacers. Yes, I think that I think CJ is the most
14:09
likely to play tonight. Did he did practice on Monday. I believe they
14:13
played yesterday. He was training in the right direction of place. I believe
14:16
that he's gonna be in tonight. I think that Ingram and Zion both have
14:20
a pretty good chance to miss. Zion is more just rest related with it
14:24
being a back to back. He's playing a lot more minutes lately, could
14:26
very well play because he's not really not really injured, whereas Ingram he rolled
14:31
his ankle last night, did have a trip to the locker room, came
14:33
back and finished the game strong. But yeah, he's been dealing with a
14:37
lot of ankle injuries. I feel like Ingram is probably the most likely to
14:39
miss, with Zion second, that's kind of how i'mpressing, and then Trey
14:45
Murphy midday downgrade and never good, so he's probably pretty likely to miss as
14:48
well. So we could definitely see more minutes out of Naji Marshall, Matt
14:52
Ryan, even Herb Jones would be be pretty solid as well. And then
14:58
yeah, the Pacers just Aaron Nesmith list the question, Well, I think
15:00
that he probably sits again here. He's pretty pretty banged up right now,
15:03
so we'll get bent Matherens starting again at six point two. K Breaking it
15:09
down matchup wise though, pretty I mean pretty straightforward. The Pacers pacer has
15:13
been the same defensive all season long, really bad with their rimp production,
15:16
kind of bad transition defense, really good taking away, catch and shoot three
15:20
pointers. They've been trending in the right direction a little bit last few weeks,
15:24
but kind of went back to the normal ways last game. Give up
15:26
a ton of points at the rim versus Toronto, So what kind of expect
15:30
a similar game plan from them? If Zion were to play and Ingram were
15:35
to be out. Really liked the matchup for him because the ball handling role
15:37
has been really solid for him. I don't think the Pacers really have anybody
15:39
that they could throw at him defensively to contain him. He's just such so
15:45
strong and such a big body down low, and and this Pacers seemed just
15:48
no rimp protection. I could see him having another really good game here,
15:50
floating with a triple double with the assist upside, So I would like I
15:54
would like Zion a lot if he were to be in and Ingram were to
15:58
be out. Ingram, I mean, I think he says, but if
16:02
he were to be in and everybody else is in, he's just okay,
16:03
You're gonna see probably Andrew Nemhard on defense, and he would have a pretty
16:07
big size advantage over him. If it's not nam Hard, then it's probably
16:11
Beneigue Matheren, and he's just not the greatest defender at this point in his
16:14
career. Rick Carlo has been talking talking him up a bunch, saying he's
16:17
been getting better but still has a long ways to go as a defender.
16:21
So Ingram could have a pretty solid upside at eight point two. K not
16:23
sure I would really be going there though, with there being some better options
16:27
a little bit more expensive and cheaper, and then CJ. I think I
16:32
would need both of Zion and Ingram to be out for me to get to
16:34
him. But the matchup is decent, not the best for catching shoot guys.
16:38
He's one of the better three point shooters, but the usage would be
16:41
really good. Assist numbs would be really good if Ingram and Zion were to
16:44
be out, and then kind of the same thing for Joval. I would
16:47
need Zion for him to be out to get to Jovel tonight matchup is kind
16:52
of okay. Even though the Pacers are terrible with their rimp protection, they've
16:55
done a decent job of limiting fantasy production to opposing centers. So He's not
16:59
a smash play by any means, but would look really good if if Ingram
17:03
Zion were to be out tonight. And then, yeah, some of these
17:06
guys have be looking at probably Larry Nance, Naji Marshall, and Matt Ryan
17:10
if we do get news of all three of Ingram, Zion and Trey Murphy
17:15
to be out, and then on the the Pacer side of things, I'm
17:18
kind of okay getting away from them right now. Tyrys Haliburn, his ball
17:22
handing roll has really been limited as of late. He you know, he
17:25
had a ton of just a ton of touch time earlier in the season,
17:27
but the numbers have gone down only five point six minutes of touch time per
17:30
game in the month of February. That's not that great for for somebody that
17:34
gets a lot of his upside with with the assists and scoring. Pelican has
17:38
been pretty solid defensively. He's going to see her Jones on defense, which
17:41
is another another downgrade to his upside potential. So I don't think I'm gonna
17:45
be getting there to Tarry's haliburn tonight nine point five K, but he's going
17:48
to be super low owned. I'm expecting sub five percent probably, which is
17:52
pretty good on a on a six game slate. So if you get there,
17:56
I think that you're getting a ton of leverage on the field going to
17:59
him, But I don't think I'll be going there tonight. Seeaw come.
18:02
Kind of just a fine option. Nothing really stands out from a matchup perspective.
18:06
Pelican's been a little bit worse with their three point defense. He took
18:10
eight attempts last game only May three, But yeah, he's okay. And
18:14
then Miles Turner, I don't really like the price tag on him, and
18:17
with the loaded center position, could have a little bit of upside from a
18:21
scoring standpoint with Joval and not really chasing him out to the three point line.
18:25
So there's an upside case to be made but the downside is that the
18:27
Pelicans do have the personnel to go a little bit more small and we've seen
18:30
molestern Er loose some minutes in small ball lineups at times. And then benigmatherin
18:36
Lascal mentioned six point two K pretty pretty big price tag for him, but
18:41
he's played amazing lately. Obviously last game went for the sixty burger, but
18:45
went for He's played thirty five, thirty three, and thirty nine minutes at
18:48
his last three games as a starter, so the minutes are definitely there for
18:51
him. I think that's it though. On the pacers side, Yeah,
18:55
Sonie Smith, I'm seeing questionable. George said he's back to I mean regardless
18:59
to be honest about Nee Smith probably just mathering a bus and even at this
19:03
price, I don't even know if I can get there, So I think
19:06
our pacers are probably easy fade. And then, yeah, you broke down
19:08
that Pelican side. Well, I do expect CJ to play one of Ingram
19:14
or Zion to miss things. Zion's fine. I think Ingram would be fine
19:18
if all of them do play. I don't like that. Trey Murphy pretty
19:21
solid news as well. I still think there's other better spots on this late,
19:25
but at least Zion Ingram or like one of the big three. If
19:29
at least one of them do miss, I think are strong player or solid
19:32
plays for the price and fit that mid tier bild as well without breaking the
19:34
bank. Now CW talking about John D. Porter, Yeah, I don't
19:40
even see him on the starting on the roster either right now. I don't
19:42
know if he's down in the G League. You mentioned that too, but
19:45
correct me if I'm wrong, But I don't think he's up. I definitely
19:49
know Jordan Hawkins for me, any thoughts on Jordan Hawkins as a stands right
19:55
now, I wouldn't get to him. Would need multiple of these guys to
19:59
be out. It is still up there. Like i'd rather Nagie Marshall at
20:02
three four or like if those guys were out of stuff like that, Larry
20:04
Nance maybe even at four to two. But I don't know how much I
20:07
love him any of them. Yeah, I mean the matchups like matter a
20:11
little bit less when we're talking about value, But I mean the pacers,
20:15
I don't really want to overlook that because they're they're catching shoot defense against three
20:19
point shooters and just catching shoot in general. They're the I believe, yeah,
20:22
top in the league. They just do a really good job limiting off
20:26
ball shooters, which is kind of that's Jordan Hawkins game. So there's the
20:29
downside case, but the upside is he could play like thirty five minutes if
20:33
all these guys were to be out. And to touch on John Say Porter,
20:37
he is confirmed out. He's in the G League right now, so
20:40
don't have to worry about him. Yep, thank you, Michael. Appreciate
20:42
that he's in the JU League, don't. And that's why we even like
20:45
Kellyo. And we talked about why Bouchet. I mean, it's no secret
20:48
Turtles out, Kellyo probably start to like him there, but we even liked
20:52
him more because especially if Chris Bouchet's out, they just don't have big.
20:56
Jonta would be another big that could get minutes there, so definitely important to
21:00
keep an eye on that. And you did mention I know rio Matt Ryan's
21:03
name. If Ingram Murphy sat, I think Matt Ryan would be He'd be
21:07
fine as a value. The dude, chucks, you got me twenty five
21:11
minutes, three point three k something like that. I think you need at
21:14
least two of them to be out, and I we think CJ plays it
21:18
need more Zion Ingram if anything, I'm not exactly sure how much that would
21:22
help him, but I know you did mention Matt Ryan. Yeah, I
21:26
mean you're definitely gonna need two guys out, possibly even three. I think
21:30
you would need for me to Murphy. Yeah, I would need Trey Murphy
21:33
and Ingram out to get to Matt Ryan tonight. Things on a little bit
21:37
less affected or Matt Ryan's a little bit less affected by Zion in or out.
21:41
I think that Ingram and traymur Iphew need be out for me to get
21:44
to Mett Ryan tonight. But I would prefer him, Actually, I don't
21:48
want to say would prefer him to Hawkins, because I know that Hawkins has
21:49
like a nuclear ceiling we've seen at times this year. But the you know,
21:55
the thirteen dollars price difference and better positional eligibility would probably lend me to
22:00
getting more Matt Ryan tonight. And I will say a lot of it right
22:04
now. Again, assuming just say all these Pelicans are in, I think
22:07
Balance Build will be where a lot of people go because instead of dumpster,
22:11
I'm going to try and get a Luca, and it probably would be Luke
22:14
over Jokic for me with how good center is. But these mid tier options
22:18
with the lack of value ever right now, are strong enough. We're gonna
22:21
get to these clippers. That's gonna be the main story of the slate there.
22:23
But that's kind of my mid tier build, not as much stars and
22:26
scrubs. You can always fit Luca though we know what he can do.
22:30
And then I still don't even really think you'd go to the matt Ryans to
22:34
the Hawkins unless you said two of these guys are out rather some other value
22:40
in a couple other games we'll talk about. But keep it rolling eight pm
22:42
Eastern and appreciate everyone hanging out. I hope everybody having a great day.
22:47
Our day will get a little better with that like button, with that subscribe
22:48
button helps us out a ton. It is much appreciated. And if you
22:52
do want to see real slate plan showdown, Core report our golf that's going
22:56
on locks early tomorrow, make sure to get that up. No. Two
23:00

23:03
Hoop who even knows what it is nowadays? He's past couple of weeks though.
23:07
Use that promo code Hoop fifteen get you fifteen percent off any membership.
23:12
Let's keep it roll the next game. And we had to talk with someone
23:17
in the YouTube chat here, but it's important. We got Cavaliers and the
23:22
Chicago Bulls to sixteen total and the Cavs are five in that point favorites.
23:26
Injury report in this one, I didn't actually have it up. On the
23:30
Chicago side. Alex Caruso is questionable, so that's the news on that side.
23:34
Otherwise, nothing's changed. Nothing on the Cleveland side that we have to
23:37
worry about. But why I mentioned Drummond earlier was he's expected to start because
23:44
when they played before the All Star Break, these two teams matched up together,
23:48
they went voots Drummond because they're going against Mobili and Allen, so they
23:52
matched Bigs with Biggs. That is why we're talking about Drummond only five point
23:56
two k, assuming he starts like he did before, played twenty eight minutes
24:00
in that game. They use this size drumming a great point per mintent guy.
24:04
That is right now why I think, excuse me, Drummond will definitely
24:07
be popular. Now let's say he doesn't start and they go. Cruso plays
24:12
and they go Crusoe and they go small. Drummond completely gets taken out of
24:15
the equation as a great value play. The ownership goes down, center becomes
24:21
a little more open. So was talking to who was it in chat?
24:25
Mitchell? So that is the reason for that. I'll throw it to you
24:27
real. I take it you probably assume Drummond starts again, they go two
24:30
bigs. Let me know if I'm wrong. If that's the case, though,
24:33
Drummond definitely one of the more popular plays on the slate five point two
24:37
k just a point per mint beast. Outside of that, though, I
24:40
don't think this game gets much ownership. I think Io would be fine,
24:44
especially I'd rather Caruso be out. But man, outside of that low total,
24:48
we don't like picking on Cleveland. Cleveland side, they're healthy, like
24:52
these prices all seem right, So not much interest really outside of drumming for
24:56
me. Yeah, no, I think you did a great breaking it down.
25:00
I agree with all your points. If he doesn't start, it's it's
25:03
pretty volatile to get there. But I do think that he's going to start
25:07
tonight, just like you said, it would even be I mean the upside
25:11
of the minutes could be really good tonight if Caruso misses as well, because
25:14
they we know that Mobile and Allen are probably going to be playing, you
25:17
know, thirty two to thirty four minutes apiece, So if you're getting thirty
25:21
to if he's matching those minutes of those guys, I mean he could easily
25:25
break the slate. Not saying anything that people don't know. He's a Fantasy
25:27
Portmanite monster like you said, and the ownership is going to get there.
25:33
But I agree with it. Five point two k really good. I mean
25:34
he even crushed last night. I had a couple of shares of him in
25:37
my EMM stuff, only played twenty eight minutes, still put up thirty six
25:41
draftings points. So yeah, I would expect him to play tonight. Going
25:45
to be a great value option tonight. Don't only have much to add.
25:48
If Krusa misses, like you said, I would assume a little bit better,
25:52
probably a little bit bumping the projection, but yeah, the Cavs are
25:56
not a great team to attack in DFS. I only have a ton of
25:57
interest in the guys like Booch, Demarta, rozen Kobe White. I'll be
26:02
off of those guys, I can get to Io because he's cheap enough at
26:03
five point five K point guard shooting guard eligible, which is good. But
26:08
yeah, those only two I'm considering on the Bulls side right now, and
26:12
then on the Cleveland side, I want to attack this Bulls team with three
26:18
point catch a shoe guys. So Donovan Mitchell. I even think that Max
26:22
Shrews could be a little bit sneaky to night five point one K, there
26:23
probably will be better value. But I mean, obviously he had the crazy
26:29
sequence last night the last five minutes, made the sixty footer buzzerbeater to get
26:33
the win over the Mavericks. But yeah, this is a good spot for
26:36
him at five point one K as a catch shoe guy, and then you
26:40
have Crusa misses. I really liked the outlook on Donovan Mitchell. Though he
26:42
played thirty eight minutes last night, the usage was back to the normal role,
26:47
got to thirty three percent usage rate. Good good match up for catching
26:51
shoe guys as well as the Bulls being a bottom three pick and roll defense
26:55
to rollman, so Donovan kind of the lead ball handler at times. Even
27:00
with Derris Garland back. He could see his assist totals rising this one,
27:03
but the match will be a lot easier for him if prus it were to
27:07
be out. I would like him as a spend up option. Do you
27:10
think obviously ownership it will be in your favor, but clicking them over the
27:15
Hardens of the world, the Kauhi's over of the world, that Scottie Barnes
27:19
of the world, Like, do you see yourself doing that and taking the
27:23
ownership discount, because he definitely will be low roll, But like in it
27:26
on paper, it's pretty tough for me to do that with d Mitch,
27:30
with Mobile there Al and Garland, Like we talked about it a lot yesterday.
27:33
That's why you didn't like any of these guys. But can you see
27:36
yourself doing that over those three? Not in like a single entry line.
27:40
But I would much prefer the Lakers guys or Scottie Barnes or some of the
27:42
other guys you mentioned. I just think that in like a twenty max or
27:47
for me, I'm gonna be in the the micro Millie tonight with one hundred
27:51
and fifty. I will definitely want to get over the field on Donovan Mitchell,
27:52
just because we know that the ceiling could be really big for him,
27:56
and the matchup is is pretty good, so I'll definitely try to get over
28:00
the field. But yeah, single entry, I prefer those other guys a
28:03
lot more. I think I know your answer to this, but Voucher Jared
28:06
Allen is contrarian centers, like like we said, Zubac Drummond. Assuming Drummond
28:11
starts pretty much anybody else will be pretty low owed. I mean, fandol.
28:15
It's always easier when there's just one center, but today you know where
28:18
it is, like Alan goes for sixty, Booch goes for fifty five,
28:22
whatever it may be, you get a whole huge lag up on the field.
28:25
Any thoughts on those two? Alan is my preferred to Jordan. I
28:26
think Rio will say the same. But actually I started with vouch just I
28:33
mean, he's power forward eligible now, which is which is really nice,
28:36
so it's kind of easy to you know, you could play three to four
28:38
centers at times, depending on who you're playing. But yeah, I mean
28:41
the he's been really just super consistent lately. He's uh, well, I
28:45
have this number pulled up, give me one second. He has scored forty
28:49
two plus DK points in nine of his last ten games. That he's kind
28:53
of like topped out at forty five is I think he did have a sixty
28:56
in there once I forget which matchup it was again, but also well,
29:02
not the one down game that he did had he only scored twenty against Cleveland
29:04
the last time these two teams played. The rebounding upside definitely takes a hit,
29:08
but he's definitely shown still shown pretty good upside playing alongside Andre Drummond,
29:15
So I think I would side with him mainly because he's power forward eligible and
29:18
he's been a lot more consistent. Yeah, no, that definitely makes sense.
29:21
And you're be fine playing Obviously Drummond Vouchs together if you're plugging Vuchet power
29:25
forward. Sorry I say it again, if you play Drummond Zubac, you
29:30
play those two. Let's just say you'd be fine playing obvious. You know,
29:32
it doesn't need to be zoo back, but you'd be fine playing Drumming
29:34
and Booch together. I don't know if I would be I think that,
29:41
Yeah, I don't know. I guess I guess Drummond's cheap enough to do
29:42
it, but maybe if i'm you know, in the solver put a little
29:45
bit of a dock on them in lineup together. But I would probably prefer
29:51
Vouch away from Drummond and just hope that Drummond kind of busted really high ownership
29:55
and then you gain leverage by vouch. You know, maybe he is the
29:57
one grabbing all the boards and he's one scoring all the points for the Cavs.
30:03
Yeah. Yeah, So I just think it's kind of like a leverage
30:04
standpoint to not play them together makes sense. Spencer titles at double center Night,
30:10
Well, we keep right now the centers that stick out Drummond and Zubach
30:14
because of their prices. There's other good centers like Booj Allen, etcetera on
30:17
the slate. But I wouldn't say, like I'm one hundred percent of my
30:19
lineups will be two centers. I just right now to the better point per
30:22
dollar plays on the slate. Zuba because of this Clippers news, and then
30:26
Drummonds starting when he usually doesn't. The price wasn't adjusted. So those are
30:32
the two strong center plays. But I don't think you should you need to
30:33
force a two center night. That is how I see it. Any thoughts
30:37
on that Rio should keep it keep it moving. No, Yeah, it's
30:40
it's looking like a double center night tonight for sure, especially if more value
30:44
opens up in the Minnesota or even in the Toronto game. I want to
30:49
pull up the from Eddie because yeah, we're mainly talking Dragkings. Sometimes it
30:53
applies to Fando as well, but good catch Booch is only center eligible FanDuel
30:57
Allen and Mobley powerparts and eligible and Fandal. So if that's the case,
31:02
I would side with Alan on FanDuel. There you go. We'll keep it
31:04
rolling right into that game. We were talking about important news in this one.
31:08
Timberwolves and the Memphis Grizzlies two point nine total. Big favorites are the
31:12
Timberwolves at twelve and a half. Injuries important on the Minnesota side. Go
31:18
Bear questionable again QT yesterday he played put up a nuke. Anthony Edwards questionable.
31:23
He rolled his ank or his ankle during that game. Came back what
31:26
he's helped to the locker room, comes back still puts up a nuke.
31:32
Kyle Anderson's also, he got hurt in that game, burned a lot of
31:33
people. He is gonna be out today. I'll throw it too. On
31:37
the other side of Memphis, Lukenard's out contrad is doubtful, So nothing really
31:41
important on that side. I mean, man, I wouldn't be surprised twelve
31:45
and that point. Favorites give Anthon Knight off or something like that. We
31:48
know he doesn't like taking nights off. He talks about it all the time,
31:51
like I don't like missing games. People buy my tickets. I'm gonna
31:53
be out there, I'm gonna play. But I mean big favorites in this
31:57
matchup, it makes sense on a back to back. What are your thoughts
32:00
on Ant Gobert played yesterday. I don't know how serious that ankle is.
32:07
I think he probably plays. You're the sharper guy right here. Though thoughts
32:09
on Gobert, thoughts on aunt Q tags. But yeah, I mean I
32:14
have interest in Gobert, I have interests in Towns. I have interest in
32:17
Ant. If he plays, and if they're out, definitely load up on
32:21
these guys, the nas Reeds of the world something earlier, men Sin Jordan
32:23
Goodwin for value to get Luca one hundred percent. Unfortunately, it won't be
32:28
too sneaky, especially in Ant misses. It'll be chalky, but he's definitely
32:31
in play at four K. Start with the Timberwols side. Any leans On
32:35
Gobert and and yeah, I mean, to me, it makes sense to
32:38
give these guys the night off here. But we've seen their coach doesn't really
32:43
do what you think that they should do all the time. We haven't really
32:45
seen a lot this season where it's been like a mass rest spot for the
32:50
Timberwolves. We saw it a few years ago where were loaded up on some
32:52
of these guys naw, nas, reed, et cetera. But yeah,
32:57
I mean it makes sense for me to give Anti Edwards a night off tonight.
33:01
The I mean, it was a scary injury. It looked like an
33:05
achilles because he kind of just was running away from the ball and then and
33:08
then fell down like it wasn't like he stepped on somebody's foot. It was
33:12
just like a non contact thing. It looked like people were speculating it was
33:15
an Achilles' injury. But uh, yeah it came back out. Guys just
33:19
an absolute be still still showed out. But yeah, I mean, if
33:22
if all these guys are in, I think you could get to Ant at
33:27
eight nine matchup is pretty good. I think you get to Kat and Rudy
33:30
at their their price tags. But yeah, I mean, the most likely
33:34
thing is this game blows out and we probably don't see full minutes from any
33:37
of these guys. Probably see Nikkele, Alexander Walker Star. Oh actually sorry
33:44
scratched that. If if all these guys are in, it's gonna be the
33:46
regular starting lineup with Aunt, Kat, Rudy Conley, and Jada McDaniels.
33:52
Mike Conin is another guy that could sit, though he's been he rests a
33:55
lot on back to backs, so that would open up a starting spot for
33:59
Nikele, Alexander w maybe Monte Morris, but it's been naw in the past.
34:05
But yeah, I don't know if all these guys are in. I
34:07
don't really want to get into this game too deep with it being a really
34:09
really big total. I mean, the Grizzlies defense actually been pretty solid even
34:14
with all the injuries you've dealt with. Games should probably play pretty slow pace.
34:17
I doubt we see some really big draftings scores. I would just look
34:22
to get into this game if we get injury news that multiple of these guys
34:24
like Aunt and Rudy Gobert, Mike Conley would be out, because then we're
34:28
looking at nas Reed, We're looking at Nika Alexander Walker, looking at Monte
34:31
Morris at three point three K. So yeah, that's probably how I'm going
34:35
to be approaching it. That makes sense, I will say for me,
34:38
I think and if it does play, even Towns, if Gobert plays,
34:45
I think they're all fine. I probably would Max one, but they're all
34:47
contrarian options that kind of do fit that mid tier build. But people are
34:51
going like harden over and centers loaded, so Gobert, like, I mean,
34:54
Memphis can't hit water from about twenty rebounds is definitely in play there.
34:59
I'll be on probably Max one. I think Towns was fine too, that
35:02
power forward eligibility. Maybe do like Towns more than Ants if they play,
35:07
but I think Max one would be fine. They're like I'm debated playing that
35:12
micro seeing how much time I got people in Town. I don't want to
35:15
be my computer locked in all night. It is a great contest, and
35:19
if I do do it, though, one of those guys in lineups to
35:22
get different I think is a very sharp way. You do need the game
35:23
to stay close, but hey, well twelve and that point favorites. If
35:28
the game's at nine five minutes left in the fourth, they probably still are
35:30
out there. So I'd be using that max one the studs. I like
35:35
mc daniels though as value. Jordan Goodwin is value and they only get better
35:39
if like a Gober was out then nas reed steps in, et cetera.
35:43
This game's at eight eastern, so only thirty minutes after the start the first
35:46
lock time. Hopefully we do get it before and this definitely can mix you
35:51
on the slate a little bit. So two biggest pieces of news definitely the
35:53
Pelican side, and then i'd say Minnesota is the second. Right now that
35:58
we are waiting on the Yeah, Monte Morris like somehow Conley was rested or
36:02
an ants out with something like that, we need value on this slate three
36:07
point three K. I don't think it's the craziest thing for Monty Morris to
36:09
get a Luca or Yokich or something like that as well. So monitor Q
36:14
tags of course, first two games or the seven thirty eastern for Pelicans,
36:17
eight pm Eastern for Memphis or for Minnesota. Then you get an hour window,
36:22
so definitely make sure to be locked in on your computer with those thirty
36:24
minutes, and of course projections will be updated Core reports, cash reports,
36:29
et cetera. All updated with the news. Two games left Rio nine pm
36:34
Eastern, one hour after that one Sacramento Kings, Denver Nuggets two thirty one
36:38
total, Nuggets seven at point favorites. On the Sacramento side, we have
36:44
Dearon Fox questionable. That is the only piece of news in that game.
36:50
I mean, I'm not gonna be waiting for like my line's gonna be waiting
36:52
for that news. However, obviously, a Fox is out, a lot
36:55
of guys get a bump. David on Mitchell probably starts, but the biggest
36:59
bumps will go like Lak Monk, I think he's already a good play now
37:01
would be absolutely smash play. Kevin Herder gets a big bomb, Keegan Murray
37:06
gets a bump, all these guys. Of course, if foxes out gets
37:08
a bump, I already love I already like Monk, period. So I
37:13
think Bux is one of the better plays on the slate. Upside of Fox
37:15
misses already a good play regardless. Sabona is just Sabonis, just centered eligible
37:21
another guy that fine. If Fox is in, he's gonna have to take
37:24
on more of the load. If he's out now I'm gonna throw a two
37:28
on this one. Though we'll start with Sabonis. He's gonna be low owned,
37:30
but hey, they're going into Denver against you, O Kitchen the altitude,
37:34
I know you don't love picking on those fots. Take away or start
37:37
with that, and then what do you think Fox q tag is gonna be?
37:42
I think Fox plays tonight. He was at shoot around just a knee
37:45
contusion, so you know, a bruise most likely, So I think that
37:49
he's gonna be full go tonight. Been playing really well lately. Not it's
37:52
gonna be at full strength, but on the King side of things, you
37:54
broke down really good. I think Monk is a really really strong play tonight.
37:58
His shock creation is gonna be needed in this game, especially if one
38:00
of Sabonis or Fox are being limited or being shut down at all in this
38:05
one. Having shooting guards more forward eligibility is really really good too. Makes
38:09
them a lot easier to get to. But I like the upside on Monk
38:13
tonight a lot. I don't really want to get to Keegan Murray or Kevin
38:16
Hurd or Harrison Barnes to Night at all. I don't think they're even gonna
38:19
make my player pool. Nuggets have been really good really strong with their catch
38:22
and shoot defense. That's what you know. Keig Murray, we were on
38:25
him a couple of nights ago against the Heat absolutely popped off for us.
38:29
But yeah, this is just not the matchup for him. Need guys that
38:32
are gonna be able to score in isolation with you know, the the Nuggets
38:37
having some really good on ball defenders. So Darren Fox been playing amazing lately,
38:42
playing a ton of minutes, score fifty one plus DK points in five
38:45
straight games. He's going to be really low owned. Continues to be put
38:47
pretty low owned. Not a great matchup versus CACP case be really good on
38:52
ball defender. Nuggets are top six in pick and roll defense this season.
38:57
But I mean, Dearren Fox is just a really good form right now.
38:59
He's being back to being really aggressive, playing like a nine K player.
39:02
So I like the Iaron Fox a lot. He's gonna be. I think
39:05
he's gonna be really low owned, being one hundred dollars more expensive than James
39:08
Harden in a slightly worst matchup. But I'll still look to get to some
39:12
of him. And then, yes, Sabonis just been a triple double machine.
39:15
Not another one. Last game twenty one on the year, now leads
39:17
the league in that category. He's fared pretty well versus Denver this season,
39:22
fifty three point three DK points in averaging that over the three games that they
39:28
faced off. Yeah, he's okay. He's gonna be low owned. I
39:31
think I prefer Fox and Milik Monk to de Monts Sabonis, but definitely will
39:37
keep him my player pool just because he's been crushing lately, been very consistent.
39:42
And then on the Denver side of things, Jokis been actually held in
39:46
check. The last two times these teams faced off, he only went for
39:49
thirty five point three and forty nine point five DK points, but he did
39:52
put up eighty four in the first meeting earlier in the season. He's kind
39:57
of back to play like, you know, playing like MVP Yo Kitchen years
40:00
prior, where it doesn't really matter the matchup, you just play him every
40:01
night if you have the salary to That's kind of how I'm gonna be approaching
40:06
it. He's been playing great last three games, ninety seventy eight and seventy
40:07
two d K points, although those are much easier matchups against you know,
40:13
Golden State. I think he played the Wizards in one of those ones,
40:15
and then the Blazers, who you know, those two teams are the worst
40:20
in DVP versus centers. But you'll still be looking to get to yoga tonight,
40:23
just knowing that he has the same matchup as as a LUCA. And
40:30
then Jeal Murray seven point ak really good price tag on him. I think
40:32
that the minutes restriction is kind of off. He's been, you know,
40:36
dealing with the injuries, but he should be good to go tonight. And
40:37
then Michael Port Junior. I like him as a contrarian option in the six
40:40
point six K range. Good matchup for three point shooters. The Kings have
40:45
been getting killed since the start of twenty twenty four. They're allowing the fourth
40:49
most three points per game, the third most catching shoot points. I think
40:52
that he's got some pretty good upside in this matchup. And then KCP is
40:55
the last Goala mentioned four point two k looking to get some ownership. He's
40:59
playing a lot of minutes, you know, mid thirties minutes is a starter.
41:01
If we don't get any other value tonight, then he's going to be
41:05
pretty high owned. But I think for good reason. If nothing else opens
41:07
up, I wouldn't mind landing on kse P at four point two K shooting
41:10
guard eligible. What about Aaron Gordon? Did I miss that? I just
41:15
kind of overlooked at I don't Nothing really stands out from matchup standpoint for him.
41:21
He's always fine to keeping your pool. He's cheap. Yeah, he
41:23
just fits that MIT like right now, like you're saying, with the lack
41:25
of value, kind of like the MPJS, the Aaron Gordon's leak month,
41:30
definitely going to a couple more ownership. But those guys, I'll just screen
41:32
fine that thirty five forty point upside. I mean, I have a little
41:37
more upside, But you get thirty five from either of them, I guess
41:39
right now you're fine on a slate like this. Jamal is gonna get some
41:43
ownership. But if you had to pick Yo, get your Luca, And
41:46
it's Luca for me right now, especially with the position, but you can't
41:50
go wrong with either. Yoka is probably even lower on. Yeah, it's
41:53
Luca for me as well. I like the matchup a lot better for Luca
41:57
and just all the other center options tonight. But yeah, like you said,
42:00
you're gonna get Yo Kicch probably I think he still comes in double digits.
42:05
People are gonna try to find a way to get to him, but
42:07
you know, maybe on the low end, maybe like eight to nine percent,
42:10
which is really good on a small slate for sure. Yeah, if
42:15
no value opens up, it's gonna be something like that for sure. And
42:19
even if it does, like I think people will go to Luca before they
42:22
go to Yokich, So I think regardless, his ownership is going to be
42:23
somewhat in tag Mike or any thoughts on Watson Peyton Watson for bew. Yeah,
42:37
uh, if yeah, nothing else opens up, he's fine power forward
42:40
eligible. The minutes have not really been there. But yeah, I don't
42:45
know, I don't really know what you're expecting to get from him at that.
42:49
I guess you'd be probably fine with like fifteen to sixteen if nothing else
42:52
opens up, and if that allows you to get up to Yo Kich and
42:55
or Luca, then it'd be okay. But I think there's probably some better
43:00
options we can look at. Hopefully something's open up throughout the night. Yeah
43:06
cool, Yeah, good breakdown. All right, we got one game left
43:08
on the slate ten pm Eastern. Again, appreciate everyone hanging out life button
43:13
always helpful. Subscribe button always helpful, and if you do want to join
43:15

43:24
Core reports as well. No better price, no better content in the industry.
43:29
Use that code. Hoop fifteen gets you fifteen percent off. We got
43:32
a Nascar I've been hating I haven't even set a NASCAR yet. Has gone
43:37
right over my head and shout out the game who does our Nascar content?
43:39
I've seen a lot of screenshots in there lay the house. You almost shift
43:44
a million a couple at Daytona a couple of weeks back. So shout out
43:47
you got Nascar, we got college football now everything you need one low price,
43:52
can't beat it. Use a code hoop fifteen gets you fifteen percent off.
43:58
All right, real, this last game, talk about Fox on these
44:00
other Q tags. You're gonna have roster spots open because this last game at
44:04
ten pm Eastern. If you got to pick one game to stack or one
44:07
game that's gonna have the most ownership, I think it is gonna be this
44:10
one. Battled LA Lakers Clippers. We got two thirty one or no.
44:15
Two thirty four total Clippers three and a half point favorites. Why this game
44:21
is getting a lot of ownership, especially on the Clipper side. Paul George
44:23
is out. Zubac is questionable too. It's an illness. I mean right
44:29
now he grades out very well point per dollar. He's gonna come with ownership.
44:32
This game is on an island, though, so if Zubac were to
44:35
miss, you have to have a plan. A d at nine point a
44:37
k I think is very strong. However, I mean you're going up four
44:43
point two k to get there, so you have to have at least two
44:45
v two, three v three something like that. Talk to me if there's
44:49
any other like a Daniel Tye. Does he just slide in and you're you're
44:52
cool going Zubac down to Tyson upgrading elsewhere. Talk to me about that Q
44:57
tag on Zubach Lebron's questionables, Well, I'm assuming he plays. If he
45:01
doesn't, this game even becomes better. Turns of ownership though, a lot
45:06
of ownership. Norm Kawhi Harden very very popular. Zubac gonna be popular as
45:12
well. Touch on Zubac to start and then possible pivots. But what do
45:15
you think he will like? What do you think if he'll play, if
45:17
you won't play, kind of hard to tell with an illness. Then break
45:22
down this game though, because it's definitely a very interesting one and one that's
45:25
important for DFS. Yeah, I mean it's probably pretty likely that he sits
45:30
now midday questionable downgrades with the illness. I think they're more on the doubtful
45:35
side of things usually this season. So yeah, I would probably be approaching
45:39
it as him sitting. If you are playing him, definitely have I would
45:43
say multiple spot. I mean, if you have him in the utility spot.
45:45
I don't even think that going down to like Russell Westbrook is the worse
45:49
thing, because this team could run more small ball out there, and you
45:52
know, maybe they put Kawhi on Anthony Davis. I think that he'd be
45:55
able to defend him. Maybe they play a lot more you know, zone
45:59
defense. That's not the worst pivot to make at all. But if he
46:02
misses, I would Plumber I think. Yeah, I was gonna say,
46:06
I think it's Plumbley that would be starting. Yeah, they had been.
46:09
Tys was the the guy earlier when when Zuboch was missing, but Mason Plumley
46:15
was also returning from the injury, but they started started going with Plumby more
46:20
so, Yeah, he would be a really strong value at three point five
46:22
K. And I think Tys even splitting those center minutes, maybe not fully
46:25
down the middle, but probably get eighteen to twenty out of him as well,
46:29
which would be a pretty strong value at three point one K. I
46:32
think he would be matchup with a lot of Jackson Hayes minutes as well,
46:36
which could be pretty pretty good for him. But yet Plumbley would definitely be
46:39
the guy I'd be looking to first. Yeah, you're definitely gonna want multiple
46:44
spots to have a two v two swap in mind, there's I mean,
46:47
there's really not much Like if you go with like d Low and Zuboch,
46:52
then maybe you go you can get to a D and actually no, that
46:57
wouldn't even work. Like you said, at least a lot if you are
47:00
running a lot of two center builds, at least you will have Zubac in
47:02
the util. But on bills that you're not going two centers, I guess
47:07
to make it like to make even more of a case for two centers,
47:10
especially if Zubac is one of them, plug them in at utail, but
47:14
otherwise few some have two v two or three v three. I mean the
47:17
thing is, even if you have like a bunch of spots left, like
47:20
you have Norm or Harden or Kawhi or like even Terrence Mann, like,
47:24
you're not really jumping off those guys, like they only somehow get better if
47:28
Zubo's out, like they're gonna need man size a little more, etcetera,
47:30
Like is rebounding. It's like you want to swap off them to upgrade to
47:35
a d et cetera. So yeah, talking through it, you probably want
47:37
them in the util, you don't want them just as your only center is
47:42
probably how i'd approach it, Like you said, yeah for sure. I
47:45
mean, this is gonna be a game I'm gonna have a lot of exposure
47:47
to anyway, so I could see, you know, I'm gonna be able
47:50
to move things around a ton. Just I mean, there's great players on
47:52
both sides. Obviously, with the Clippers being without Paul George, that's opening
47:57
up one of the chalkiest value on the slate, Norm Powell. Hard for
48:00
me to say a lot negative outside of him just being you know seventy percent
48:06
owned, probably, but I mean the matchup is really really good for him
48:07
because Lakers they've been terrible with their three point defense all season long, terrible
48:12
with their catch and shoot defense. Their transition defense has been been really bad
48:15
all season long. Yeah, he looks like a top vyue tonight. I'm
48:19
probably just gonna be locking him in in like twenty max singluntry stuff for sure.
48:23
But I mean I love the side for the Clippers too. I mean
48:27
I love Kawhi Leonard tonight eight point seven k He's been playing really good four
48:30
games without Paul George's season, averaging fifty point four DK points, and then
48:35
in three games versus the Lakers this season, averaging fifty three point one DK
48:38
points. This is a big game for both these teams, so I could
48:42
see really big minutes out of Kawhi Leonard. James Harden equally as good of
48:46
a spot ball handling has been coming down a little bit. But you know,
48:51
I've liked to attack this Lakers team with opposing guards all season long.
48:53
They only have a ton of great on ball defenders and being a pretty big
48:58
three point funnel, so Harden is a good play. I did mention Darren
49:01
Fox as a pivot to him earlier, just you know, one hundred dollars
49:05
more looking at a fifth of the ownership probably and then Terrence Man looking at
49:10
some ownership. Yeah, I don't know that that seems like one. I'm
49:15
okay getting away from He's been playing a lot better lately, playing a ton
49:17
of minutes as well, probably going to be out there a ton tonight for
49:21
his defense, which you know, I mean, he's had good assist numbers,
49:23
good rebounding numbers as well, so he's been doing pretty well. But
49:27
we've seen a pretty low floor out of Terrence Man at times, so I
49:30
could see myself getting try to get a little bit underweight on him. And
49:34
then on the Lakers side of things, the matchup for Anthony Davis could get
49:37
a lot easier. With Iv Kazubach out tonight. I'm gonna see Mason Plumley,
49:42
who you know, he was on the Hornets few years ago, was
49:44
Hornets were one of the worst room defenses with him there, so I could
49:46
see him. I could see Anthony Davis popping off in a pretty big way
49:50
and maybe ghosts overlooked at a really loaded center position kind of wish that he
49:53
still had power forward eligibility, but that would give him, you know,
49:58
a lot more ownership. He's been pretty good versus Clippers this season forty eight
50:02
point two DK points averaging in the three games versus them, and then Lebron.
50:07
He seems like the top spend tonight in my eyes, just point per
50:12
dollar wise, he's only nine point one K. I do expect him to
50:15
play tonight, even though he's questionable big game. Like I said, he's
50:19
averaging. He's played forty minutes or averaging forty minutes in three games versus Clippers
50:22
this season and averaging fifty seven DK points in those games. So he looks
50:27
like a great, great option tonight at only nine point one K. And
50:30
then Danel Russell I think could cave in your playpool if you wanted to get
50:32
into like a game sack in this game, which I do think is very
50:36
viable on a small slate. What about I definitely know for me, I'll
50:39
bring it up because you're the man Eddie PJ talker. But what about that's
50:44
him? What about a mere coffee if he was in like as a cheap
50:46
val you give me twenty two minutes, hope, he does something as a
50:51
clipper that like people aren't going to play in the stars and scrubs build or
50:53
a guy that you plug him in and like he is your guy that you
50:57
can upgrade to somewhere else two v two, three v three, et cetera.
51:00
If you didn't have Zubac in the YouTube. Yeah, I don't think
51:05
that's the craziest thing at all. He's uh, he's been a guy that's
51:07
kind of stepped up when guys have missed. So I don't think that he's
51:10
the worst play at all. Good matchup for three point shooters if you want
51:15
to consider him at three point shooters. Don't think that there's like a ton
51:17
of upside. But yeah, if you if you get like eighteen out of
51:20
him, I think you'd be very happy with that. Yeah. And that's
51:23
more so I guess like these Pelicans are all ruled in, like these Timber
51:27
rules are ruled in. We're already kind of starving for value. Why not
51:30
backload a little bit three point four K you get on a little different roster
51:35
build and again the Zubos out, you have a three D three, you're
51:37
lining up, and you can upgrade him. I think would be how I
51:42
do it. What about Russell Westbrook? I did, I didn't know.
51:45
You can probably un talked about touch on Westbrook and a little revenge all that,
51:50
but it's not the fun most funkily. Yeah. Now, I wanted
51:53
to bring this up really quick because it's a good point the just like the
51:57
race for the West right now, the Lakers are kind of on the out
52:00
looking in the play in. They're trying to get you know, get out
52:02
of the play ins, but they have a really really tough schedule coming up,
52:06
so this is a big game. Definitely want to get this one versus
52:08
fellow Western conmas opponent. Definitely could see Lebron or and or Ad sitting against
52:14
the Wizards because they do play the Nuggets after that, but they have a
52:16
really really tough schedule coming up, so I would yeah, I mean Lebron
52:20
and Ad are gonna play a ton of minutes tonight and then yeah, if
52:24
if Zubox misses, I don't think that Russell Westbrook is the craziest option because
52:29
I do think that there's a chance the Clippers run out a little bit more
52:32
small ball lineup, and like I mentioned, Lakers really bad in transition,
52:37
kind of an area where where Russell Westbrook could thrive in. But yeah,
52:44
I mean, even even right now with zubac in five point three k is
52:46
is pretty solid. He's gonna be really low owned, so I don't I
52:50
don't hate that play at all, but yeah, there is some upside of
52:52
Zubakberg to be missing this one. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's a
52:55
really good Showdown game. Again, We'll love the Showdown content over here.
53:00
I think plenty of ways to go and with this zubac Q tag Lebron,
53:02
we do expect to play, but that can change a lot of things.
53:06
Definitely make sure to be locked in. We get tagged, Rio will tag
53:08
when everything goes up for the Showdown. Core Reports Prize School's pretty solid as
53:13
well, so definitely a fun game. Fun game. I mean battle La
53:17
three point spread and especially with a lot of these games is big spreads the
53:22
game of the night in terms of DFS and watching in my opinion, so
53:24
fun. Slate. We got to monitor news seven thirty Eastern though it is
53:28
a lock time right away. I'll be looking for Pelicans news. I'll be
53:31
looking for Minnesota news before lock and everything. Projections, Core Reports etc.
53:37
Will be updated again. Who fifteen is the promo code? What is going
53:40
on? Marquee joining right at the end. Hope you're doing well. Final
53:45
thoughts? Real should be a pretty fun six games slate, but from what
53:47
we just talked about now, the slate could be flipped on its head with
53:52
some injury news and that's why you need to be a member at Shipping Nation
53:54
for all the adjustments. But what are your final thoughts? Yeah, no,
54:00
think you said it, said it great. It's definitely a slate you're
54:02
gonna need to monitor the news in the Pelicans and the the Timberwolves side of
54:07
things especially. But yeah, I mean some some good games for sure.
54:10
The secrament the late two games just look like really good games that you could
54:15
possibly stack up. I mean, definitely the Lakers and Clippers one that we
54:17
just talked about. Even the Dallas Toronto one looks pretty good. But yeah,
54:22
pretty pretty good slate for a six gamer, big prize total, prize
54:25
pools. As always, I'll have the showdown stuff up towards the end of
54:29
the night. But yeah, looking forward to this one for sure. Oh
54:31
yeah, gonna be a great night. Build. Some NBA teams, they
54:35
give you two one hour windows and those one hour of course you can spend
54:38
time with significant other, do what you gotta do, or go watch Hoop
54:42
and Tambo and the Golf Show. Look at the stone, Look at all
54:45
the ownership projections we have in PGA. No better team with the merger with
54:49
djn over here. Check that out. Build some PGA teams a lot early
54:53
built, some showdown winners. Let's make some money tonight. Let's see some
54:57
ship the nation logos up top. Haven't right night. Everybody be safe for
55:00
my man, Reo. I'm titled town. Have a good
