• 1:47
  Speaker 3: We're gonna break it all down for you rio keep
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: your phone value. Of the Indiana Pacers maybe calling you
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: to come play for them tonight. They have ten guys questionable.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: We'll see who they try it out. They may be
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: calling any and everybody to get in, but we're gonna
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: go game by game over here on the Stone.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: We got the heat taken on the Hornets.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Defense is optional in this game, especially for Miami two
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: hundred and thirty four and a half point total. You
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: got the Hornets five and a half point favorites. Mister
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: eighty three points himself, I believe is questionable. We have
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: theim listed out right now, but talk to me a
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: little bit about this game. Heat at the Hornets.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bem's doubtful. He's gonna miss and he'll probably be
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: out for I don't know, like a week maybe Yeah,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: capstring for him. Just I feel like that was caused
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: by the whole eighty three point game, Like you just
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: win a meaningless game and put up a meaningless that line,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and now you're karma out for out for a game
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that's you actually needed bam and the ha's a little
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: bit a little bit of karma. But I mean Sposal
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: stood by it, he said he would do it again.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I get it. But I mean this is definitely a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: big game for the standings in the East. The Hornets
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: are about, I think, two games behind the Heat right now,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and I think that they were really good chance of
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: winning this game. I like them a lot the last
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: time these teams played, just because they've been one of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the best, probably the best three point shooting team in
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the NBA in the since the All Start break. I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: think they have like three of the top five three
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: point scorers in the NBA right now, Brandon Miller, LaMelo
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and con all three of the top five. So they're
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: just bombing away from three right now. So definitely, I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: think that with the way that Miami plays defense, where
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: they are susceptible to giving up threes, it's a pretty
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: good matchup for the Charlotte guys. But these are two
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: of the better defenses in the East over the last
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: two weeks. Miami's fourth Charlotte is eighth. The schedule has
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: been very favorable for Miami, so I would take that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: with a little bit of a grain of salt, but yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Charlotte definitely is a clear path of winning this game tonight,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: but with Bam out, gonna be a lot of value
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that opens up on the Miami side. Khalil Whar is
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the first guy I'm looking to. I think that he's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a really really strong option, even in a tougher matchup
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: where Musadbote, Ryan coch Brann and two of the better
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: rebounderies in the NBA, so they might be tougher for
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: him to get like a double double. But we know
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that Where has been really good from a permanent basis,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: especially in the games that Bam has missed the season.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: He's averaging just over thirty minutes per game, so he's
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: had He has earned the trust of Eric s Bolshra
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in the games that Bam has missed, averaging just under
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: thirty seven DK points per game, So I'm totally fine
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: with him at Chalk. I think he's pretty solid. But
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the only downside is that nikola Jovic is back tonight
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and he's kind of been the guy that could eat
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: into the minutes of where if he's not playing well,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: but I think that they'll definitely need his size and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: rebounding against the bigger front court like the Abatine Cockburners.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I'm really good with where and then there's like a
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: trio of guys that are priced fairly close together between Hero,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Norm and Hakkez. We saw Hero have a massive game
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: against Charlotte the last time that these teams faced, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: we were all over him. Had like sixty DK points,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: fell a rebound, and and assist, shy of the double double,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: but was a guy that you needed that night, and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I have the same thoughts about him here that I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: did then. As good as Charlotte has been defensively, it's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: not really because they have the best lockdown defenders on ball.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: They just have a really good team defense. I don't
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: think anybody's really considering LaMelo, Bridges, Miller or con lockdown defenders.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: That was the same reason I liked Hero, and now
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: with Bam out, they might be able to run a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: little bit more of the pick and roll that they've
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: kind of gone away from this season. So I think
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Hero is in a really good spot here. Again, there's
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: even a chance that they start him in power alongside
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of each other here. Because Norm did return over the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: weekend and was full in his return to play thirty
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: one minutes in his first game off the bench. I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: think that they're going to be really leading on these
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: two for offense tonight. We don't have any data game
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: wise for Hero this season without Bam. He hasn't played
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a game without Bam this season, but last year he
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: had some pretty good numbers sixty DK points twice without
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: BAM in three games and at thirty four and a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: half percent usage rate, so really good numbers for Tyler Hero.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: So I'm good with two of those guys. Then Hokke
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: is not really getting a ton of ownership currently, but
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that could definitely change as we get close to the lock.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: But I think that he's in a pretty good spot
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: here as well. Could be a guy that uses like
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a pivot off some of these other forwards that are
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: getting ownership, like Josh Hard and Norm. Powell is probably
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: going to be getting more ownership as well, but he's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: been great without Bam the season, averaging thirty seven and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a half DK points per game, so really good numbers
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: for him. I'm very interested in all four of those
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: guys that I mentioned, and I think after that it's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: kind of a drop off. You could sprinkle in like
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Pelle Larsen and probably don't need Dave on tonight. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: think Pelee is in play for sure, just because they'll
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: need his his on ball defense against the hornet side
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: four hornets, it's basically the top four guys. LaMelo, Brandon, Miller, Cohn,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and Bridges have interest in all three of them. Definitely
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: think that Miller is a guy'd be looking to go
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: right back to. You had a huge game against the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Heat last time out, fifty three point five DK points.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Cohn's been shooting great lately and he went for six
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: or tent from the three point range in that game,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: so I think that he's totally fine here as well.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Spolsha's somewhat had LaMelo's number, been doing a really good
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: job of limiting him. I think his matchup is pretty
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: tough against Dave Yon, but it was encouraging to see
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that he played thirty three minutes the last time and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: these teams faced off and it's a really big game,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: so I think that we could get full minutes from Romelo,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: which definitely puts him into play. And then Bridge is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: probably the guy that have the least favorite or the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: least interesting. But he has played a little bit better
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: as of play, but was really really bad in that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: first match of a couple like a week or two ago,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and then Kobe wipe up the twenty six minutes last game.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I think that he's in play, but his minutes are
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: pretty tied to LaMelo balls. So I would max onon
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: those two guys if you're even considering Kobe White at all.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: But it is a good matchup for him. He's the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: exact type of guy that could beat the Miami Heat defense.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, excellent breakdown there. What I know we always like
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: to pick on Miami Heat garden the three pointer? How
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: are they didn't doing I don't know. They said they're
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: better in the last two weeks, but they still go
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: up a ton of three balls. If so, I might
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: have some con you know, three pointers in my life.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It hasn't been as much this season, but they are
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: still giving it up. Okay, yeah, eleventh over the last
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: two weeks.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not too bad. Excellent stuff there. Forgot to
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: mention it's Saint Patrick's day.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Rio.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I think that's a green shirt you got on. If
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken, looks kind of green, but.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was, actually I was. I didn't even realize
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: it was green when I put it on, just kind
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of tossed it on.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: But yeah, any big plans for Patty's a from I
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: got rio.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: No, I'm definitely going to be doing some green beers
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: out once the slate locks up at five, go watch
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the the WBC Finals and hope that USA gets a
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: dub Any plays for you.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, yeah, that that game on Sunday night
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: was awesome Dominicans. Yeah, that was electric, and tonight it's
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: going to be the same with my boy Ronald mccooney
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: on the other side. So I can't wait to watch
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: that game. Can't wait to watch these six games. Let's
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: go to the next game. We got the Thunder I
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: think on an eight game win streak if I'm not mistaken,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: going in to into Orlando to take on the Magic
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: SGA has been hooping, Chad Holgrom's been hooping. My boy
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Chared McCann just been balling when he gets in there
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: as well. This Thunder team is so deep even without.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Jaylen.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Williams, the other Jala Williams, one of the Jaalen Wiams.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: He's out tonight, but talk to me a little bit
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: about this game. We got the thunder almost ten point
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: favorites taken on this Magic team.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like this game a lot. Magic are
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: on the back to back and their coach even said
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: they had some tired legs, so that's why the minutes
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: got a little bit managed. I just don't really think
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that Orlando can do enough offensively to keep this game
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: close enough where we get it where we get big
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: games from either side of this one. So I'll definitely
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: be underweight the game as a whole. I just say
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that Okac has all the edges here on both sides
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: of the ball. They are the best room defense in
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the NBA. Orlando's a team that basically doesn't have a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: ton of three point shootings that they have to get
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to the rim, and I just don't think that they'll
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: have that just they won't have that path tonight, So
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty fine getting away from there Orlando. Guys like
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you could always make a case for guys like Polo
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: just because he can get there without scoring. Baine, I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: don't know the price is getting up there, but he's
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the type of guy that could beat them. You need
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: three point three point shooting against the Thunder, so I
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: guess that would technically be him. Same thing for like
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Tristan to Silva. He's been playing a lot of minutes lately,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: but I'm really not like a true believer in him
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: as a fantasy option. So Orlando's probably gonna be MAXI
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: one for me tonight. Okay, see pretty straightforward as well.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: It's really just Shay and aj Mitchell considering here, and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: those two guys do have the best matchups. I'm not
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: really high on Shade tonight. It's not because I think
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that the matchups difficult. Obviously, Jenden Sucks is a good defender,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: but just Orlando doesn't really send a ton of help,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: so they have pretty poor pick and roll numbers. I
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: every think Shaye could get it going there, but I
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: think that Shay is just better in big game of
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: environments like you saw against San Antonio and Okay, or
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: in Boston he had huge games, or Denver he's had
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: some really big games against, just because those are true
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: contending teams. I just don't think that he's gonna really
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: be getting up for a game like Orlando. So I
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: do think that aj Mitchell is a pretty solid option
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: at five K and there's a lot of guards that
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: are getting some ownership tonight in that similar range. And
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I think that he's just really good and has beginning
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to start. I think he started two games in a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: row now, and they're head coach basical said, they just
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: want to get him more minutes because he's been out
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: for so long, kind of get him get his his
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: feedback under him after missing so many games. But I mean,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: he's a really solid permanent producer one point one fantasy
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: points for a minute this season. She should be playing
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: around twenty seven to thirty minutes and a pretty good
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: matchup while he'll be avoiding Jalen Suggs. I think the
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: AG is a pretty solid option here, but yeah, probably
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a max one on both sides of this game. I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: think that it's a pretty pretty poor fantasy game.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, excellent stuff there. I feel like the magic always
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: just slow it down. And when they're playing these games
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: in Para Bay, yeah, that was a bad way to
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: end the game. Certain other baseball question, rio in or
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: out on the abs once the regular season starts.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's a slippery slope because
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the more you start to rely on like robots and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: technology for calls, a kind of waters down the game.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: So I think there needs to be a little bit
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: of human interference. But yeah, I don't know. I do
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: like it because some of the calls from these arms
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: are just egregious.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Some of them are so bad. I'm all for abs.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: We'll we'll see how it does during the regular season.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Good stuff. Four games left.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: You haven't done so already hit that like hit that. Subscribe.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: We got the next game up on the slate.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: We got the.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Pistons and they got some guys gunning for eighty three
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: themselves taking on this Wizards team. Hopefully they're not fouling
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: late in the fourth quarter. But Pistons at the Wizards.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: We've been picking on the Wizards all season long. With
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: big men, any big man that you like. Tonight, there's
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: a ton of people out. Trey is going to be
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: out tonight. Sar has been out for quite some time.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Anthony Davis, I don't think he's played three years, is out,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: and Keishawn George is out all for Washington, but talks
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: to me a little bit about this game. You got
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: a bunch of dudes missing for Washington and the Pistons
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: should take care of business tonight.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm hoping that the Wizards are on a West
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: coast roachrip pretty soon so we coud stop playing them
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: on the main side because it's just been difficult to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: break down what they're gonna do. They're starting to do
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: their best. Memphis Grizzley is a personation playing guys like
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: mid twenties up or twenty minutes every night, which just
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: makes it tough because they are a team that looks
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: decent for value. But I'm always gonna be on the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: other side of it because I don't think these guys
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: are very good that they're gonna be trying out there.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: You seeing guys like Will Riley getting ownership like Bub.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I think like there's like two guys on this roster
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: that I think are true NBA players, and that's like
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Bub and Actual. There's three like Bub, Trey Johnson, and Champagne.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I think are guys that can definitely compete on teams.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: But those guys are Will tu.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: You're the Will right right?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Who said I thought one time in chat you said
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: you love Will Riley or he like went off for
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: twenty five one ninety said something about him.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever said I loved Will Riley,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: but I mean I've played him before. I've definitely played
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: him like you had to. You've had to play him
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: a few times this season. I think that this is
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: probably one of those spots where he's got to be
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: in played just because they are thinner than usual and
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: he's probably the only guy that's gonna be playing thirty
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: plus minutes. I think that he's gonna close and blow out.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: You might need like thirty six or thirty eight minutes
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: for him to really pay off this tag, which he
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I guess he can do, but I think there's a
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: very clear path to get away from him because it
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: is Detroit and they're twenty point underdogs, so they might
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: not even like this could be as far as they
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: don't even break a hundred. But for Detroit, I am.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I do prefer Caid over Shay if we're getting into
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: that same range from point guard, I just don't like
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: it with cool BALI out like, I don't know who
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: they're going to put on him. I could see Kid
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: putting up a huge style line in three quarters three
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: and a half quarters. If the game close enough. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: just think he's a better option than Shaye Tonight, much
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: better team total as well. So I'm pretty I'm pretty
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: fine with Kid. I don't think that I really need
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: to go to him because the game is going to
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: be a huge bullout. But if you're landing in like
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: that three point or eleven point three K for a
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: point guard, I would side with Kid here. But I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: think Duran is really good. A point three K no
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Stewart till the minute floor should raise a little bit,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: But I mean, we've just seen what these centers continue
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: to do against this Washington front court. So I think
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: that Duran is a very very solid option here at
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: eight point three K. Do agree with Sean. I think
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: asar I thought a Sari was sneaky, but he just
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: returned from the ankle injury like one game ago, played
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: twenty four minutes. I don't really think that I want
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: to spend up nearly six K for a guy likely
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: on some sort of minutes restriction. He did fill the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: stat sheet the last time they seemed to faced off.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: He had six stocks, felt one rebound, shy of a
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: double double, so clear upside for him. But yeah, I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: just don't. I don't think that he's going to be
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: needed here, that Paul Reach should get the back of
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: center minutes. There's no guarantee that he's playing the blowout tonight,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: because they do have Tollu Smith, who was like the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: fourth string center when they're fully healthy. But he'll probably
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: be out there in blowout. If the game is it's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: like a thirty point game going into the fourth, it'll
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: be Tollu Smith and probably not Paul Reid. So I don't.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like I do want to play some
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Paul Reid tonight because he could be great from a
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: permanent basis. He's averaging around nineteen minutes per game without
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Sewart this season. A couple of those came when
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: he was actually starting for Stewart and Duran, But I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: mean the very like the worst he could do is
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: get two rotations and then maybe put up like five
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: ex's score. But yeah, I think I just like during
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: too much here to go down there. But I don't
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: know gross game overall. I think you got to consider
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: some of these Wizards guys. But I'm gonna be pretty
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna limit how much I play like it's probably
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: gonna be a max two of these guys for me.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what can a sar Thompson make any shot outside
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: of a dunker layup?
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Like a floater? Maybe for free throws? If he gets
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: like ten times to the line, he can make like
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: six of them.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: I think is over under on number of threes he's
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: made this years, like one and a half, and I'm
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: taking the under.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: On that guy.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love Durren as well. Eighty eighty three hundred
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: eighty two on FanDuel. You don't see many nineteen and
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: a half point spreads Rio in the in the NBA,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: So tough scene for the Wizards fans out there.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Are they going to cover it?
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I mean you literally you got Angel Reich Junior out there.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Gosh that that's That team's horrible, Kendall gill Man, that
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: team's pretty brutal. I'm taking the Pistons to cover that
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: twenty What do you think?
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: That's a huge number? But yeah, I could definitely see
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: it happening. But I wasn't okay see a twenty point
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: favorite pretty recently. I don't think that they even.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Covered oh against uh they were remember who was against
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: they were?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: I think I think you or Matt were talking about this.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: They were like seventeen and a half versus the Hornets
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: earlier in the season and lost.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was like kind of when the Hornets really
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: turned around their season.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so who you got you taking? You're taking the
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: points you taking, taking taking Detroit.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I'd probably take the points you can't pass up plus twenty.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: My boy knows. Kendall Gill. Do you remember Kendall gil Rio?
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Was that before your time?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Where did he play?
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: He played at Illinois, the Fighting a lion I and
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: the Charlotte Hornets.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it might have been a little bit past my time.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: He probably played with Larry Johnson's grandmama. I think, yeah,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I think he went to Illinois. Someone fact checked me
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: on that, but yeah, I think he went to Illinois
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: all right. Anyway, next time up on the slate. Jalen
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Bronson doubtful for this one. Jose Alvarado when he won
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Indiana Pacers I mentioned it earlier. No one's playing for them,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: They're all questionable. Pascal Siakam probably not gonna play on
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: this one as well. He got another big spread, another
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: team tanking fourteen and a half. Talk to me about
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: this game, Rio anybody on the Pacers, any any cheapies
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: that you like over there? And then what about the
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Knicks in Alvarado, Koleak and the rest of the cheap
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: guards for them?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Pacers are a joke, honestly, Like they
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: have four guys that are not listed on their injury report,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: They have what seventeen Q tags and one doubtful tag,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a couple out tags. Like it's just I don't even
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think that I can even talk about them
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: because I don't know who's gonna be in or out.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I would like, it's kind of a I don't know
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: shoe an answer or say a bad answer to say
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that just got way for projections. But I just don't
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: really know who's gonna even be playing tonight, so it's
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be difficult for me to even give any sort
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: of take. I would say, if Cam Jones is starting
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: at point guard, he'd be pretty good, just because he's
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: capable of playing a ton of minutes. But yeah, I
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: don't really have anything to say about the Pacers right now,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: just gonna be waiting to see who's in and who's out.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: How's that even legal? To like put seventeen dudes on
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the injury report.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, they got fined once, but
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: it clearly wasn't enough. But yeah, that's it's crazy how
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: much they have it one, two, three, they have a
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: twelve and then if you count the atttacks, it's fifteen
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: that are either questionable, DOUTFO or out.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: That's pathetic.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: All right, So nobody on the pacer is that really
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: going to talk about just because we don't know who's
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: suiting up?
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Then what about the Knicks with no Jalen Brunson or.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, go ahead, Yeah, so no Brunson, obviously
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get somebody starting. It's should be Jose Alvarado,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be surprised if it's somebody else. But
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, if if it is Alvarado, I just don't
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: see how he's not the best play overall in the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: entire slate. I mean, he's a good permanent producer. The
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: matchup will be really good. Three point two K Like,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I really have nothing negative saying about him. I'd be
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: like definitely locking him if I'm playing single entry, contest, satellites, whatever,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: and then he's got to be and probably eighty to
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: ninety percent of year one fifty Max I would say,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I just don't see how he doesn't wind up optimal
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: if he's starting in this matchup, So I'm totally there.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Kat, I mean he's gonna be pretty good,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and Mitchell Robinson is questionable as well. I think that
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: they'll probably give him the night off. Don't know who
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: they're playing upcoming this week, but I think that they're
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: off until like Friday, so they can really play their
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: guys full minutes here if they wanted to. If the
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: game is like semi close, then they're gonna be playing
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: these guys full minutes. Be a cat. I mean, he's
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: been really good as a permanent producer in the non Brunson,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: non metrob minutes, one point four Fantasy points for minute.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I think he's averaging like forty eight ish drafting points
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: without brunts in the season, he's been like the lowest,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: like forty five DK points. So at the very very worse,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: you're getting a really solid floor, but you are getting
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: access to a really high ceiling. So I think Kat
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: is a great option here versus a team like the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Pacers that just struggle to defend the interior struggle to rebound.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: There's just a lot working in his favor. After those
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: two guys, it does get a little bit trickier, But
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I do think that like heart, Og, Bridges and even
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Jordan Clarkson, maybe to a lesser degree, Landry Shaman are
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: in play here. Hart is the guy that I could
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: see taking off the high end upside of Jose Evarado
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: because he is capable of ball handling and like pretty
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: much every game that he's played without brunts in this season,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: he's been close to a triple double. He's averaging ten
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: point eight points, nine assists, nine point three rebounds in
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: four games without brunts in this season, So obviously a
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: very strong option here at this current price. Tag Og
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: went off against the Pacers. They do always struggle against wings,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and I think with McHale playing so poorly, it's kind
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of shifted a little bit of usage and offensive workload
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to OG's direction. Yeah, like McHale, I don't know, he's
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: just not playing great right now. Maybe his tired legs,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe he's deal with some sort of injury,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: but just down really bad right now. So if there
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: was every spot for him to bounce back, I think
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: it would be this one. But still he's kind of
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: losing minutes of Shaman and Clarkson at times, so I
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: don't feel super confident there. I would it be crazy
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: about Jerdan Clarkson if he does become chalky, but he's
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: obviously an option. It's only three point five k shooting guards,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: small four eligibility, pretty easy to get to him. He'd
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: be one of the guys that could eat into mckel bridges.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: And I think Tyler collect you know, dart throw, maybe
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: he plays more, probably get the backup guard minutes and
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: then definitely would be out there and blow out, which
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: he could just rock up a ton of SATs. I
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: think that he's for sure and play as well.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, excellent stuff there. Those those knicks are tricky with
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: all those cheap guards. Alvarado looks good. We got it,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: We got this is This may be a first for me. Rio.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: We got a guy asking or woman would you buy
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: any aj Mitchell rookie cards.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I am legally legally allowed to
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: give advice on trading cards because I know nothing about it,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I do like aj Mitchell. I just don't
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: really know if, like what the true ceiling is for
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: him if it's not winning the sixth Man of the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Year this year. Yeah, and they just have so many,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: so many guys that are gonna be coming up, Like
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I I certainly know. I do like Aj Mitchell a lot.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: He's a really really solid player.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got name. No one cares about it. He's
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: tuning in a lot.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: He hear's you talking about Aj Mitchell and Will Riley
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: all the time.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: So appreciate you tuning in.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: You're going to have people out here buying Will Riley.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: You can soon.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Combo pack Will Riley a j Mitchell combo pack. All right,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: now we know what new ens is tuned in?
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Is that time of the show where we talk about
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: his Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis the Greek freak take it
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: on the Cavaliers.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Ryan Rollins is questionable, No Jared Allen to night.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: My favorite player in the National Basketball Association, Keon Ellis
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: is in this contest power forward eligible. Kean Ellis, if
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: you will talk to me a little bit about this game.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: You got Matt's Cleveland Cavaliers taking on Jordan's Milwaukee Bucks.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: You gotta be the only p person in the world
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: who has ke On Allis as their favorite NBA player
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: If that's true, that's not true.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I'm his least. He's my least favorite player, I think. Yeah,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I can stand that guy.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: The worse than Giannis.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Uh different kind of hate, but yes, okay, a really
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: good tight end though, and I'll tell you what he'd be.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: He'd be amazing the on the football field.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't really know what the Bucks are doing
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: even listening. Giannis is questionable. He got banged up last game.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: They are eliminated from the playoffs. Basically, they I think
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: they have like probably less than one percent chance to
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs now, just I would just shut him
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: down for us this season. There's no no point in
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: playing him, honestly, so I'm expecting him to miss the night.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: The Rowlins midday down grade with an illness tag is
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: never a good thing, so they're probably gonna be missing
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: guys here. I think if we're getting multiple of these
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Q tags out, then we could start to talk about
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: like Bobby Portis and Kyle Kuzma KPJ a little bit.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I think would probably come more to play at seven
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: point a K, but as the stands right now, it's
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: just a max one. I just don't think that they're
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to keep this game close. I feel
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: like the Cavs have all the all the ways to
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: win here. Milwaukee's bottom four in defense over the last
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: two weeks, Cleveland's top three in offense. The Bucks are
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the second largest three point final this season, Cleveland's top
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: three and three point frequency over the last two weeks.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: So there's just a lot of ways that the Cavs
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: could really run up the score here and kind of
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: put this one out of reach really quickly. So I
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: do think that the Cavs guys aren't play Donovan Mitchell
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: James Harden, two guys that are dominating most of the
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: usage for Cleveland. It's been like it was shifting a
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: little bit more in Harden's favorite just because they are
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: they're running more of like a pick and roll standard
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: offense around him. But despite a bounce back last game,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: he still had really good usage in the games with
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: James Harden the season, so I'm fine with him. I
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: think that he'll be really good on a permanent basis.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I think Harden will too. We've seen the Bucks give
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: up really big games to lead guards over the course
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: of the season, so I think both guys are firmly
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: in play here. The only downside is that there's a
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: lot of blowout risk here, and I do think that
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the game does have a big likelihood of blowing out.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not super intomobile here at a point, ak I
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: get it. He's I guess he's cheap enough with no
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Jared Allen power Ford eligible, so they'll probably fit into
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: some builds. But I don't really see the tournament winning
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: upside for him when you got to share usage with
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: guys like Mitchell and James Harden. But if you, honest
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: were to miss, then it would get a little bit
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: better for him as a matchup. And then I don't
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: think that anybody else is really in play. But I
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: think your boy Max Shrews could be a guy that
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you ladder up some three point props on. He looked
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: great and his first came back six for seven from
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: deep You gotta do something about the hairline, but he
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: looked really good in that game, and definitely think he's
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Me and Matt talk about it a lot. Just his
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: contributions to the team come playoff time I think will
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: be really big. So I'm a big fan of hit
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: them getting him back. But I think that there are
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: some I don't really know what his lines are, but
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: if you get like one and a half or two
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: and a half, I think it's a pretty solid number
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: for Shrews.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Don't be hating on a man's hairline. Man, come on, now,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: we got we got some bad hairlines over here as well.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: So my boy, I'm my boy, mad Max?
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: What about and you might have you might have mentioned it,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: but KPJ any love for KPJ?
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: At seven eight? I missed it?
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: If you if you did? Uh, like if these guys
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: are in probably not, but if yeah, I think it's
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: gonna be. I just don't know if they're gonna really
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: be needing or needing to or wanting to play him
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: a ton right now. But yeah, I mean he's gonna
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: have all the usage in the world and it's not
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: really not a terrible matchup, so I have a little
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: bit of interest in him.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I thought I had one more question for you now,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: but we'll move on. Someone's Bobby Portis got mentioned as
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: the only Bucks player are a resident Milwaukee and Michael
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: any any love for for for Porters?
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: That's the only Buck.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he can only get better if j
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: honist and turn the world to miss probably gonna have
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to start in that instance, and we know what the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: type of website that he has, so yeah for sure.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, one game left, if you haven't done
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: so already, hit that, like, hit that subscribe button. I
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: know what I was gonna ask, different positions. But assuming
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Yannis does play Yannis versus s Ga versus Kate, who's
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: your favorite top spind up tonight amongst those three?
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it would still be Kid, and then I would
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: have Sga ahead of Giannis. Yeah. I just don't. I
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: just don't. Yeah, probably, but I don't know how much
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: i'd actually, like, realistically end up getting. I just don't.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I just don't see it right now, Like there's no
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: reason to be playing him anything close to normal minutes,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: So I just don't see it.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Got it, all right? Awesome stuff.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: One game left on the main slate, the Stunts taking
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: on the ant list, timber Wolves, my boy AO is
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: going to be playing, should be starting tonight. Talk to
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: me a little bit about this game. Phoenix Suns without
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: my God dealing Brooks taking on Minnesota Low total two
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: hundred and twenty one and a half point total. Now
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: the TEA. Wolves generally are good at defense, so talk
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: to me a little bit about this one.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I would think too. But looking at
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: the numbers, they've been all over the place this season,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: and they've been exceptionally bad over the last two weeks
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: their bottom five in the NBA and defense giving up
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: more rim scoring than usual, turning the ball over a ton. Yeah,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I mean this game has a ton of playoff implications here.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: The Sons, I believe, are two games back on the
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: on the Wolves right now, and there's a real shot
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: that they could definitely surpass them because Ant's going to
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: be out for one to two weeks now that they
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: said with the knee injury, and I think they have
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: a pretty tough schedule coming up as well. So there's
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the Wolves are kind of down bad right now. Just
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: not they're guys that they needed to play well or
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: not playing well. Jada McDaniels, skun Ice Cold, Lewis Randall
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: was playing terrible before doing better against OKC. But yeah,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I think that this game, even with the low total considered,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: is probably the best game like this one. And I
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: would say that Miami and Charlotte, what are two ones
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: that I could see myself getting to like four guys
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: in the game in total, just because I think the
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: minutes are gonna be really really tight for both sides.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: The Suns are more capable of spreading it out a
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: little bit, and they are on a back to back
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: with their guys playing pretty big minutes last night, but
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I think that they would really really want to get
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the win here on the road. I think that they
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: can win it. I think that there's some value in
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the money line streets for them betting.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: We're giving bets out already. We're giving bets out already
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: with the Sun's money line.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I would say I like that number tonight. Yeah, yeah.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: So the injuries on both sides definitely will condense minutes.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: And we kind of know that the Wolves are already
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: a team that runs a really tight rotation because their
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: deep bench unit is not really trusted but removing and
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: like it's going to condense the usage on guys. And
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: then the Sun still without Brooks and Mark Williams will
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: also likely be without Grayson Allen. He's doubtful then Heywood
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Heighsmith is questionable as well. So two guys that we're
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: playing decently big minutes for them will now be out
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: tonight and the guy. I think that the Guards are
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: in a really good spot here for the Suns. The
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Wolves are dead last and pick and roll defense this season,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Booker is top nine and pick and roll scoring Jalen
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Green is not too far behind him. Both those guys
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: have been playing great as of late. Booker has been
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: playing really really good though thirty four points per game
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: overs last five on sixty three percent true shooting. I
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: think we're starting to see that Booker that we've kind
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: of been used to seeing over the last few seasons.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: And having a guy like James Green out there as
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: much usage as he takes away, I think could open
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: things up a little bit more for him. Just add
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: another lethal score I think is really good for him.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: So I like both those guys a ton here. If
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I don't get Booker, I want Jalen Green and vice versus.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I think that one of these guys will be will
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: be hard from tonight, So I'm really high on them.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: And I even think Kln Gillspie is a guy that
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: should be considered as well. The minute should be strong
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: for him, probably gonna be overlooked with all like the
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: strength of the mid tier options, and he's actually been
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: been a pretty solid permanent producer as well this year.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: With the current injury situation for Phoenix, I think that
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: he's for sure and play, but I think that's probably it.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think I need to go into the rest
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: of the rotational guys like ohso not really an option.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I think Royce could be in a player pool, but
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: that's probably it. Maybe good one too, so they might
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: need some more defense. But I'm just really really high
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: on Booker, Jalen Green, and Gillespie here and then the
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Wolf side a lot to like here. Obviously Io getting
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: the start likely for Aunt is gonna be a pretty
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: easy click. At four point seven K with that shooting guard,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: small forward eligibility, good positionality for him, So I think
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: that he's probably the second best value playing on the
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: slates and I maybe third behind where I think that
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Josey Alvarado, Ware and I are three of the best
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: value plays tonight, and then Randall at seven point seven K,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: good price site for him. Don't really worry too much
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: about the matchup, especially know Brooks out there. The rim
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: defense has been getting a little bit worse for this
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: with you know, no Mark Williams and no Dylan Brooks.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I think that he's in a pretty good spot here,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: averaging forty five and a half DK points per game
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: without Aunt the season. Should should be able to hit
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: that threshold here, and I think that sub point seven
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: k really cheap price site for him. Not as high
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: on Go Bear. I don't think that his role will
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: change as much, and he's not a super cheap value play,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: but definitely in play. I think that I'd want to
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: get to NAS but I'm a little bit concerned about
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the shoulder injury. They've said it's really affected him shooting
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the ball, which we've seen kind of the efficiency go
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: down a little bit, but he is generally a guy
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: that is the one you want to look to when
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Ant does miss games. I'm really enticed about the price
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: tech for him at five point five K, but if
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: the ownership gets really high, which it likely will, then
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: there might be a little bit of a little bit
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: of merit of fading him maybe for Gobert and then Dante, Jada, McDaniels,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: bones Kyle Anderson are all guys that do make the playerpool.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Dante's been great without Aunt the season, but five point
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: seven k a little bit more expensive Jammie Daniels. They
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: just need more out of five point three K is
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: really cheap for him, but he's probably coming off of
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: his worst, worst stretch of basketball over the last week
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: or so. I just can't put together a strong game.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Been found a ton. Yeah, I want to go back
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: to him because I think that this would be a
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: spot where they really need his defense. We might see
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: like thirty eight minutes out of him. So I do
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: have interest in him in that sense, but a little
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: bit worried from what we seen from as of late.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, real quick, going back to the Suns, I like
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: the Gillaspie call, do you like him more?
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Does it matter if if let's say Grayson gets ruled out, Like,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: would you bump him up? Or that doesn't that doesn't
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: really matter. If I Smith and Grayson are out, does
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: that give Gillspie more minutes?
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm already expecting Grayson now because he's doubtful,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it would bump up his minutes a little bit.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Booker had fifty DK points last night. Jalen Green had
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: fifty and back to back games the two games prior
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: to that. The Suns are on cylinders that'll do it.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: That's all six games. We appreciate all three hundred and
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: fifty of you tuning in. My cat got more airtime
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: than me did today. I don't know what he was
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: up to. But Rio, we come to my favorite part
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: of the show. You've been twenty three and oh this
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: year in the bets giving out on this stream or
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: something like that. Can we make it twenty four in
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: a row? And you can't give out a Sun's money
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: line bet that's not the official bet. But give me
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: your give me your best bet of the night.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Just spewing propaganda all show tonight. I didn't look at it.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: It's close to twenty three and oh it's something in
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: a little a little bit, I promise you that.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Have you been tracking it? No, we've got to get
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: those numbers are good?
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Speaking of tracking, speaking of tracking, can those can those
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Utah Jazz give me one more w Mister Hebrew Cheedah
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: did call over twenty and a half win for his
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Utah Jazz and they're sitting on twenty.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: So I need one more win. Rio, give me one
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: more win for the good guys.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I think it's possible. When we play the Wizards next Wednesday, six.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Ers the official unofficial tracker nineteen four and one.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm going.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: That's pretty pretty good. I could start a patroon with
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: those numbers.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Not subscribe, you'd have at least one subscriber.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Uh yeah, I don't know. It would
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: have to be something with like always like the three
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: point lines games against Miami or teams against Miami. So
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: it'd have to be whichever one of like Lamello, con
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Bridges or Miller the Yeah, I can't be.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: On the fence, man, you gotta give us one. You
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: gotta give us one.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: But do you have CON's numbers in front of you
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Give me give me seven seconds.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: And I'll pull them up, all right, because that's usually
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: like looking at his But if it's like four and
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: a half, it's probably be four and a half, but
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: probably three and a half to be be pretty high.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: And if that's the case, then you got to be
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: probably looking to like Max Shrew's or Sam Merrill's.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: They're all three and a half. Miller, Ball and.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Kinneple k Niple whatever, But yeah, they're all three and
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: a half. LaMelo has the worst odds at minus one
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: forty Brandon Miller's plus one thirty six.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: All right, then, yeah, let's go let's go with Brandon
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Miller over. You said it's over three three and a.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Half, three and a half plus one thirty six.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, never mind, I take that back. I don't like that.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Let's do uh you know, look at Streus. Yes, let's
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: let's see what shrew says.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I must say one and a half. Let's see not listed,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: he's so terrible, not even listed.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: If you can get a number on Strew's wherever you
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: placed in your bets, I would do that. But yeah,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: let's go with let's go with Colin then.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: All right, So if you can get a number on
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: st were taking over on Strus. If not, we're going
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: con yep, con over three and a half to go
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: twenty four and one on the season. All right, one
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: more question in four weeks in Indianapolis on Monday night,
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: who's mea cutting down the nets?
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely the wrong person to ask. I don't. I
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: don't pay much attention.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: To fall of college basketball. You're not part of the madness.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: No, not really, I'm not. Unfortunately I don't. I don't
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: even know like seeding, I'm paying attention to the prospects
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: coming in, but not the teams as much.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Duke looks good. Wisconsin does not look good. But
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: I do like your enthusiasm.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Michael. Uh, he's asking me who's the better play, Alvarado or A. J. Mitchell.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I'm taking AJ Mitchell.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Oh No, I mean I don't know what this is.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like the question like what do you
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: mean better plays?
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: And like who's gonna get more points?
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: Is the way the way I assumed that I'm taking Mitchell,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: even with Alvarado starting. I mean, I understand there's price
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: differential between the two, but I'm taking I'm taking a
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: guy that I can actually shoot the basketball, and that's
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: AJ Mitchell. All right, No, I don't like to go
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: against Hebrew, but uh so you think al Rodo outscores
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: AJ Mitchell. Yeah, all right, let's see what the projections are.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Not that that means everything twenty two.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Versus it's likely not updated yet.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, well I'm going AJ Hopefully, hopefully I
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: can rub it in in Rio's face after he goes
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: twenty four and one.
• 40:37
