2:50

2:52

Hit that like button, hit that subscribe button. If you're not a member
3:02
yet, head over to ship at nation dot com and join the movement.
3:07
Over here, we have tons of members crushing, coming off another big PGA
3:10
week and coming off a big NBA week where obviously the lead last week was
3:15
the leaderboard single entry series for DraftKings. I didn't follow it up with back
3:21
to back championships. I did place top twenty, so it was another close
3:24
run, but overall, looking to run it back here tonight. Let's start
3:28
with this first game here. How much we got news in this one,
3:30
Lakers Charlotte In terms of the news here, LaMelo Ball remains out On the
3:36
Charlotte side, Gordon Hayward's also out, Kyle Lowry's also out, Cody Martin's
3:40
questionable, Frank Nikkilita is questionable, which doesn't really matter, and then obviously
3:45
you got the standard questionable tags on Ad and Lebron. Overall, a pretty
3:51
good game. Two twenty eight total here, Lakers favored by eleven in this
3:55
one. Where are you going in this one? From a DFS per perspective
4:00
in terms of ownership, really not a ton of ownership flowing outside of a
4:02
little bit to Lebron, a little bit to a D, and then a
4:05
little bit to Miles Bridges, who's been playing pretty good basketball as of Wait,
4:10
ye, this it should be an up and down game. I mean,
4:12
these Hornets aren't very good, but they've been a you know, you
4:15
can pick on them when it comes to DFS. I mean, obviously a
4:16
D and Lebron questionable tonight, like they always are, so certainly make sure
4:21
that they're in your lineups. But if I was picking up the two,
4:25
assuming they're in, I think I'm gonna side with a D. I like
4:28
this matchup. Big just absolutely smash this Hornets team. So give me some
4:31
Ad over Lebron tonight certainly if ad where to seat, I think Lebron is
4:36
squarely in play. I'm a little bit lower on Miles Bridges at eight to
4:40
two. I don't like him at that price tag. I do like Cody
4:44
Martin point guard, shooting guard eligible. He is questionable, as you mentioned,
4:47
but if he plays, Lakers struggle against combo guard. So I like
4:50
Cody Martin at forty eight hundred. He's some good salary relief. I don't
4:55
mind him. I like Dangelo Russell a little bit as well. For this
4:59
Lakers team. Angelo has been been pretty good over the last you know,
5:03
two plus weeks, you know, fifty four, forty five, forty two,
5:08
fifty one had some had some lower scoring games in there as well,
5:10
but he's been doing better of of recent So don't mind D'Angelo Russell. And
5:16
then if if a couple of those guys that you had mentioned for uh or
5:20
I mentioned one, but if Cody Martin were to sit, I kind of
5:24
like Nick Smith Junior talked about how combo guards perform historically well this season against
5:30
this Lakers team. Is another combo guard that will save you some salary.
5:33
At thirty eight hundred, so like him if Cody Martin were to sit.
5:38
But like Cody Martin, Brandon Miller is certainly certainly fine play as well.
5:44
But no Miles Bridges, I guess would be my take for you know,
5:46
for talking about Charlotte. Yeah, no, great breakdown here. I do.
5:50
I like Ad quite a bit here. If he's playing ninety nine.
5:55
The question of the tag, you could say, right, is it is
5:59
a twelve points spread here. Charlotte's very beat up. They're also on the
6:01
back end of a back to back. You could see one of Ad or
6:04
Lebron sit due to that reason, right, not having LaMelo, the game
6:09
probably doesn't play very close, so you could see obviously one of those two
6:13
sit. If one of them sits, obviously the other one becomes much better
6:15
play along with other guys like D'Angelo Russell, Torrian Prince, Reeves, Hachamre,
6:20
we'll go down that. We'll definitely get that news. Obviously. It's
6:23
the first game on the slate here, so we'll get that news. I
6:26
do like eighty quite a bit here. Centers have destroyed the Charlotte team all
6:29
year long. Continues to be the case here, so I do like him.
6:32
My favorite Charlotte piece is actually going to be Brandon Miller at six'
6:35
eight. He's playing good basketball right now, pretty solid matchup here overall,
6:40
back to back fifty burgers, and he's getting great, great coach speak over
6:45
there from Charlotte. So I do like Brandon Miller quite a bit at that
6:47
six to eight hundred dollars price tag. I think he's going to be chucking
6:51
the basketball. It also helps Miles Bridges. Is likely you can get the
6:55
on ball defense from Torrian Prince, which is a very good defender there.
6:59
Obviously should be able to slow Miles Bridges down a little bit here, and
7:01
I much rather save almost two thousand dollars and drop down a Brandon Miller who
7:04
should see much better match up here. So I like Brandon Miller quite a
7:08
bit at sixty eight hundred. Like Anthony Davis, I think he could play
7:12
get away with playing Tory and Prints at four K. He's gonna play the
7:15
minute, especially in this game here. Like I said, he's gonna get
7:18
the on ball defense. Likely the assignment of Miles Bridges in this game back
7:23
to back thirty eight and thirty three minutes four K pretty solid value play there.
7:28
Should be able to pick up some per fields, rebounds, assist things
7:30
like that, So don't hate that as a value play. Kind of a
7:32
fringe value play for me. And then if Cody Martin does miss, I
7:39
kind of agree with you there with your your take on Nick Smith there,
7:43
but we'll definitely have to monitor that. Nick Smith would be come probably a
7:47
pretty solid value overall at thirty eight hundred back to back twenty one twenty five
7:51
minutes in his last two games, So definitely monitor the news in that one.
7:56
But my two favorite plays A d and Brandon Miller in this game.
8:01
But overall, not a ton of ownership from this game in particular. Let's
8:05
jump into the next game here before we do again. If you guys are
8:09
new, hit that like button. Hit that subscribe button helps us out a
8:11
ton here. I see our guy in the chat here giving me props.
8:15
James, appreciate that call on Bobby Portis yesterday. That was a nice price
8:18
tag there. People were tilting early in the game, right Portus isn't grabbing
8:22
rebounds, blah blah blah, and then the game went absolutely bonkers in the
8:24
second half. Just another little tip for everyone with NBA dfs. They play
8:31
four quarters of basketball, So just wait until the game's over. If you
8:33
want to tilt a nice flake or a snowflake on your lineup after the game's
8:37
done, do so then, but let the game play out. So yeah,
8:41
I had a nice night myself over there on the DraftKings streets. Looking
8:43
to run it back tonight here next game, Dallas Philly. In terms of
8:48
this game, two forty three totals, so massive total, highest total on
8:52
the slate and just a one point spread. Obviously, the big news in
8:56
this one, Joel Embiid is going to be sidelined for quite some time now,
9:00
right with that report coming out, he's getting some procedure done on I
9:05
believe his knee or meniscus or something like that, shoulder, one of one
9:09
of the body parts. I didn't read in it too it too much.
9:11
I just know he's out. And then the other big news, Kyrie Irving
9:15
is coming back here to play alongside Luca. Luca's been absolutely on a tear,
9:18
but now he's up to twelve k and Kyrie Irving comes back. The
9:22
other guy's remain out in here is Derek Lively's out. Donte Exem remains out.
9:28
Melton remains out for Philly as well, Paul Reid is back, and
9:31
then Kleeber, Kyrie, and Luca are all going to be in. Tobias
9:33
Harris remains questionable, which is actually pretty big news right with no Joel Embiid
9:39
in there. So where you're going in this one? From an ownership standpoint,
9:41
Luca Dons seems to be the spend up of the slate, obviously due
9:46
to what he's been doing lately, but I'm seeing thirty plus percent projected ownership
9:50
on him. He gets Kyrie coming back at his highest price point we've seen
9:54
him at yet twelve k is it a Luca knight for you against Philly?
9:56
Here? Where are you going? Yeah? This is a This is gonna
10:01
be an interesting game, right, I mean you said it. Embiid is
10:05
out, Harris is questionable. If Harris were to sit, I think Harris
10:09
is a good play. But if Harris were to sit, then Maxie is
10:13
squarely in play. We currently have him at twelve percent ownership. I think
10:16
that Skyrockets should Harris sit and then Kelly Ubray for me, I like Kelly
10:20
as well. I mean we saw when when Embiid and I think it was
10:24
Harris that were out. A couple of weeks ago, Aubray started playing forty
10:28
plus better thirty five plus minutes, you know, shooting it, you know,
10:31
fifteen to twenty two times a night. So I think Ubray is squarely
10:33
in play at sixty five hundred, I mean his price is skyrocketed up from
10:37
you know five, you know, mid mid fives up to sixty five hundred.
10:41
But if Harris were to sit, I think that's justifiable price for him,
10:46
and then Maxie at nine to one, I think skyrockets a twelve from
10:50
from twelve percent, So that would be kind of the interest I have on
10:52
the uh on the seventy six er side, I don't think I would get
10:56
to any of that those other players for them. And then on the flo,
11:00
I think Luca and Kyrie are both smash plays. Obviously you're probably not
11:03
gonna play both of them together to take up over twenty k. I like
11:07
Kyrie a lot tonight. Actually eighty five hundred point guard shooting guard eligible.
11:11
I think that's a great price for him, especially coming off to Luca Chalk,
11:16
I mean twelve thousand for Luca. I think it's a Kyrie knight myself.
11:18
I mean, certainly Luca could get there, but give me Kyrie over
11:22
Luca tonight and then give me those two seventy six ers that I just alluded
11:24
to being Uber and MAXI obviously like Uber a lot more. Should Tobias Harris
11:28
sit Yeah, I'm with you here. I mean you might want to watch
11:33
the spot. We could see Luca sit here on the back to back right.
11:37
He did roll his ankle in that game. Obviously, he came back
11:39
almost got his way to seventy Fantasy points there against the Bucks last game.
11:45
He could sit right, But either way, I do think Kyrie Irving,
11:48
He's had a couple of days of practice now. I think he gets majority
11:52
of his minutes here, and at eighty five the defense from the seventy six
11:56
or side has really kind of fallen off a little bit. So I really
11:58
like Kyrie Irving with you there. I really love the spot for him eighty
12:01
five hundred. I hope Luca doesn't get ruled out because obviously, if Luca
12:07
gets ruled out, Kyrie is going to be pretty much a lock button play
12:11
for majority of the people that are playing tonight. You could see a spot
12:15
where Luca cuts his minutes down a little bit, right, I mean,
12:18
he's been playing all the minutes he can handle lately, forty five, forty
12:20
six, forty three, forty two. Now Kyrie comes back, maybe they
12:24
say, hey, this is spot Luca, right, you messed up your
12:26
ankle a little bit, obviously you played through it. Why don't you take
12:30
a little back seat here and let Kyrie run with these other guys out there.
12:33
So I do like that Maxi Kleeber had a pretty good game there.
12:37
You could see him get another spot here right because Lively is still out.
12:41
So if he starts again at four to one here, he's not going up
12:45
against mb which does help. So I do think Maxi Kleeber would be a
12:50
solid play as well. But yeah, I'm with you, really like Kyrie
12:52
irving here in this spot. If Luca does play, I think I'm gonna
12:56
be under on Luca here at just twelve K. Like I said, I
13:00
think they're gonna let Kyrie kind of take over a little bit here and give
13:03
Luca a little break after he kind of went all the minutes he could handle
13:07
over the last week or so. So I do like that. Outside of
13:11
that, I mean, I think Tobias Harris is a solid play if he
13:13
does play at seventy four hundred anytime, and Beads not in there. At
13:16
Tobias Harris. He's been playing good basketball too, So I two favorite plays
13:20
Definitely Tobias, Definitely Kyrie Irving. I think Maxi Kleeber is a solid play.
13:24
Outside of that, I mean from a matchup standpoint, Paul Reid has
13:28
a pretty good matchup, so does Tyree s Maxi. So those two guys
13:31
would be fine, I guess. But my two favorites definitely Kyrie, Definitely
13:35
Tobias here in this game, jump to the next game. Here we have
13:39
Sacramento Cleveland, the last game that locks right at the start of the slate
13:45
at the six pm seven pm Eastern time window. Two thirty five totals another
13:48
pretty solid total on here. Overall, all these games have pretty decent totals,
13:54
but this one's pretty good. Two thirty five. There's a four point
13:56
spread in this one. In terms of news, Jered Allen's questionable, Darris
14:01
Garland's questionable. Outside of that, nobody else really has an injury designation in
14:05
this but that is obviously pretty big news if Allan were to miss. If
14:09
Garland were to miss, that definitely gives a boost to guys like Donovan Mitchell,
14:13
Kris Lavert, Jared Allen Misses. Obviously, that gives a boost to
14:16
Evan Mobley, a little bit of Dean Wade, Sam Merrill, some of
14:20
those other ancillary pieces. But break this one down, Sacramento Cleveland here.
14:28
Yeah, well, let's talk about if Allen and Garland were to sit.
14:31
Allen goes first, specifically, would give me tons of interest in Evan Mobley.
14:37
I mean, Mobley's still working his way back from injury, hasn't gotten
14:41
above twenty four minutes in the three games he's been back, but in his
14:43
limited time last game against the Spurs, I think you put up forty four
14:48
DraftKings points. I mean, hopefully you know we can get you know,
14:50
his normal run out of Mobile. And if Allan sits, I really like
14:54
him. If Darius Garland were to sit, that makes me like Donovan Mitchell
14:58
that much more. I'd like Donovan as it is, even with Garland in
15:01
there. But he's gonna be a ball dominant guard and they struggle, the
15:05
King struggle against point guards have on the season. So give me some Donovan
15:09
Mitchell. I mean, that's an expensive price tag. You're gonna pay,
15:11
But I really like MOBILEI and or Donovan Mitchell should you know, should some
15:15
of those stars sitting. Then on the flip side, one more, one
15:18
more, one more cav that I like work. If Garland were to miss,
15:20
that'd be Karris Lavert fifty three hundred. I really like that price on
15:24
Karris Lavert for somebody that that that's gonna shoot it like Carris is gonna shoot
15:28
it. I don't mind paying fifty three hundred uh for a guy that is,
15:33
uh, you know that's gonna shoot it, you know, ten to
15:35
fifteen times a game. Uh. That would be if Garland were to sit
15:39
and you know, play twenty five to thirty minutes at low ownership, don't
15:41
mind him at that price. Tag. Then on the flip side of Ala
15:43
sits, give me some Sabonis the walking triple double if he if he if
15:48
he uh, if he gets Allen to sit and obviously Sabonis at ten to
15:52
one, I don't mind that price we're showing him, you know, under
15:56
under ten percent ownership. I think that goes up. Should out on sid
16:00
and then then the other one I want to mention it would be Malik Monk
16:03
point guard shooting guard eligible fifty four hundred. I mean, we know we're
16:07
gonna get you know from the league, right, he's gonna score you know,
16:10
Ceilings will score twenty points, you know, get five rebounds, fopsis,
16:14
something like that, play around twenty five minutes. I don't mind him
16:15
if you need, you know, a point guard, shooting guard, eligible
16:19
player that's a little less expensive than some of the big dogs. But I
16:22
think this game could turn into a shootout with some teams that can score a
16:26
little bit. Yeah, no, great breakdown here. You didn't mention my
16:30
favorite king here in this game. I'll get to him in a second.
16:33
But I do think Donovan Mitchell is always in consideration for a contrarian spend up
16:38
guard, right, he always has a sixty point upside. He always comes
16:42
in pretty low owned, So I think he's fine as a contrarian spend up
16:47
point guard shooting guard. If Jared Allen plays. I love the price point
16:51
on Jared Allen. I think he absolutely crushes here. Really like Jared Allen
16:53
at seven to six. If he does play, definitely have to monitor that.
16:57
But I mean at seven to six, I mean I could see him
17:00
getting forty five fifty Draft Kings points here. Which will be more than enough
17:03
at that price point. So I really like him. But my favorite play
17:07
on the King side here is actually gonna be I get it right, Malik
17:11
Monk fifty four hundred. He's back to back forty plus fantasy point games.
17:14
He's been good. I mean he's shooting nine of fourteen, seven of fourteen,
17:18
he's shooting basically fifty percent as well from three over those games and picking
17:22
up rebounds, picking up assist I just don't know if that's consistent. It
17:26
could be fifty four hundred if he does stay consistent. He's a solid play.
17:30
But my favorite play is actually going to be spending up a little bit
17:33
more at the power forward position. Keegan Murray fifty nine hundred. I think
17:37
this is a pretty good Keegan Murray spot here. He's got the best matchup
17:41
I believe out of any of these the Kings here because he's gonna get I
17:45
mean, he's gonna get Donovan Mitchell likely here. So I like this spot.
17:49
I think Keegan Murray's a good play from the King side. He should
17:52
be very low owned here. Again, I think people if they're going to
17:56
the Kings, they're going to go to guys like Malik Monk. Carson Barnes
17:59
might get a lot o. He's been playing good basketball at forty eight hundred.
18:02
Kevin Hurder, everyone wants to click that name F five to one,
18:06
right because he was playing all the minutes, but his minutes half dropped off
18:08
lately. Twenty one minutes last game, thirty the game before that. But
18:11
before that, I mean he was playing all the minutes he can handle.
18:15
Obviously, Molik Monk's playing good so that he takes some of those minutes there.
18:18
But Keegan Murray Jared Allen my two favorite plays. Sabonis has been good.
18:23
It's just I think if Jared Allen's in there, I'm gonna I don't
18:26
really like Sabonis as much. I prefer the the other Kings guys. It's
18:32
just a pretty tough matchup overall for Sabonis, but hard to argue with the
18:34
basketball he's playing right now. Then you can get to some of these other
18:38
guys on this slate, right. Donovan Mitchell again has like I said,
18:41
has a pretty good matchup. But outside of that, I mean, Sabonis
18:45
and Fox don't have very good matchups either way. So I'm gonna grab some
18:48
of these wing guys like Keegan Murray, I'm elige Monk Karrisen Barnes, something
18:52
like that, some of these cheaper guys. If I'm going to the King
18:55
side here in this one, let's jump to the next game here at the
19:00
six thirty seven thirty Eastern time window Clippers in Atlanta. Here in terms of
19:06
the total in this one, two forty two total, so second highest total
19:10
on the slate. Just a three point spread, so close spread in this
19:11
one as well. But from an injury standpoint, we got a lot of
19:15
injury news in this game. Sadik Bay is questionable here, DeAndre Hunter is
19:18
questionable, and then on the Clipper side, Zubak is questionable, but Paul
19:26
George is back. Wesley Matthews is also back for Atlanta. So a lot
19:30
of guys questionable on the Atlanta side. Really the only ones that make a
19:33
difference is Hunter Sadik Bay right now, massive total here, a lot of
19:38
ownership going to Onka Congu here at five to one. Who's been playing good,
19:42
He's gonna be at least we have him projected at almost forty percent plus
19:48
right now at five to one. To talk about that, and then Trey
19:52
Young coming off a big game, and then talk about I want you to
19:53
break down James Harden and Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, right, because they're
19:57
all priced pretty similar, right, Kawhis at eight nine, he's been the
20:00
best Clipper as of late, James Harden eight to seven, and then Paul
20:03
George is back at seven point nine. So hit on those three in particular.
20:07
And then what are you doing with Onka Conglu as well? Yeah,
20:11
cong Wu, I mean Capella Capella is out tonight and so that's why everybody's
20:17
going to cong Wu. And he played I think it was forty forty plus
20:21
minutes last time out, so I mean fifty one hundred center position. I
20:26
mean, new one's over here claim claiming he's a lot and I kind of
20:30
agree with him just based on the fact of his usage and how much he's
20:33
going to play with No Clint Capella, Uh, you know, one of
20:37
their only true, you know, true big man that they have. I
20:40
mean, I don't know who unless they want to play some small ball,
20:42
it's going to be the cong Wu show. We don't really pick on this.
20:48
This Clippers team is generally pretty good, so I do like a cong
20:51
Wu at that price. Also like Jalen Johnson at that price, uh seventy
20:56
three hundred. I always dub him Hebrews Boy, because I feel like Hebrew
21:00
always on him as well. He played forty plus minutes last time out in
21:03
no granted that game did go to overtime, but it's usage and he shot
21:07
at twenty times. He's gonna get rebounds, He's gonna get assists. So
21:08
I really like Jalen Johnson as well. I'm a little bit. I'm a
21:12
little bit lower on Trey Young tonight than I have been in the past.
21:15
The Clippers pretty good against against the guard position. The snub Trey Young ninety
21:22
five hundred. I won't be getting there tonight. I don't believe on my
21:25
main team as relates to this Clipper second night of a back to back,
21:29
played in Miami last night, flew up to Atlanta. Always get concerned with
21:34
Kawhi on the second night of a back to back eighty nine hundred, and
21:38
I don't think I'll get there. Give me some James Harden night. That's
21:41
gonna be my big three that I go to. I know you're gonna disagree,
21:45
and you're gonna be all over Kawhi, but give me James Harden.
21:48
He's my favorite Clipper as it relates to the big three eighty seven hundred point
21:52
guards. I've been absolutely dynamite this year against this Hawks team. I think
21:56
he can go in there and really make some noise. I like him better
21:59
than PG thirteen myself. If they were to Sin, I know he's questionable.
22:03
Now. I would like a kong Wu and Johnson that much more.
22:07
But it's gonna be a kng Wu and Johnson for me on the Hawks.
22:11
I'm gonna be lighter on Tree Young. Then give me Harden over the other
22:14
two big three and I'll leave it at that. Yeah, no great breakdown.
22:18
I think you could get to a guy like Bruno Fernando two at three
22:21
k flat on the the the Hawks side, you could play them both.
22:25
I mean they were the the Hawks were running double big lineup with okong Wu
22:30
at the four and Capella at the five. You could see a little bit
22:33
of that. But I mean, you get those both, both of them
22:37
right. A package deal. Tampble talks about a little package deal all the
22:40
time. You get the package deal right to basically get all the center minutes
22:45
for eighty one hundred and a very very good match up here against the Clicker.
22:48
Not very very good but above average matchup here against the Clips four bigs
22:52
for the Atlanta side. So I'm with you, a Congu's a lock button
22:56
for me. Five months too cheap for him, very good fantasy producer.
22:59
He's been playing all the minutes he can handle already, So I do like
23:03
that. Bruno, like I said, I think is a solid option as
23:04
well at three k flat if he starts, but either way, I think
23:10
he's gonna play the backup five if he doesn't start, And then I'm actually
23:15
with you here. I've been playing Kawhi Leonard quite a bit. Obviously,
23:19
he's been in my core pretty much all last week. He's been smashing for
23:22
me. Have pretty low ownership. I mean the other night when he went
23:26
for forty seven and a half, I swear he had forty seven at half
23:29
time, and then the second half maybe scored like three fantasy points, which
23:30
was pretty hurtful. He looked like he was gonna break the slate. He's
23:34
been good. But I'm actually on team Paul George tonight here. I like
23:38
Paul George quite a bit. He got up the thirty three minutes last game.
23:41
Last night against Miami. Obviously, it is a back to back here,
23:45
so there is a little worry some there, but he's playing. He's
23:48
not gonna sit this one out here. So at seven to nine in this
23:51
matchup, I like the matchup for Paul George and James Harden both over Kawhi
23:55
Leonard. Kawhi Leonard is gonna be dealing with Jalen Johnson, who is a
23:57
long, pretty solid defender over all. So I think James Hard and Paul
24:02
George definitely my preferred. I give a slight lean to Paul George here just
24:04
due to the salary difference. I mean he's almost a thousand dollars cheaper.
24:10
I like that. As minutes cap really isn't there right now. I mean
24:15
he got up to thirty three minutes. If that gets up to thirty thirty
24:18
five, which I think it could thirty to thirty five minutes, I think
24:22
he's a solid option at seventy nine hundred here in this spot. So I
24:23
do like that. Outside of that, I mean o'kannglu, Like I said,
24:30
James Hard and Paul George, and then I'm with you. Jalen Johnson
24:33
I think is a solid option as well here, But again, the Hawks
24:37
are pretty much fully healthy outside of obviously Capella. There's just a lot of
24:41
miles to feed there. Trey Young's in there, de Jontay Murray's in there,
24:42
Bogdanovic is in there. Jalen Johnson at seven three, I mean at
24:47
that price point, he needs to do something right. He has been doing
24:48
something. He's been playing the minutes. I just don't know if I can
24:52
get to him. He's going to be low owned. So if you have
24:53
a lien on him, maybe I'll see if our guy Hebrew, who seems
24:56
to be the Jalen Johnson whisper over here the nation is on him, might
25:00
give a little look to him. But overall, I think it's a pretty
25:03
good spot for the guys. We definitely broke down here in this game.
25:10
Jump into the next game here, the last, the second game of the
25:14
two games, locking at six thirty seven to thirty pm Eastern time, Golden
25:18
State Brooklyn. In terms of the total two thirty eight, just a one
25:22
point spread in this one from an injury standpoint, let me pull it up
25:26
here. And on the second I just lost a basketball monster on my screen
25:33
here. But Dennis Smith Junior's questionable, Dario sarch is questionable, and all
25:37
the ownership on the slate is going to this game. I mean, you
25:41
look at the highest on players on the slate. You got Cameron Johnson,
25:44
Lonnie Walker, Cam Thomas mcal Bridges, and then on the Golden State side
25:51
you got Pod Right, that's gonna get a lot of ownership. So a
25:52
ton of ownership in this game. Obviously, this is the pivotal game of
25:56
the slate from what it seems the industry doing what it seems everyone else is
26:00
doing in tournaments, So very important game here for tonight's DFS Slate. Break
26:06
it down for me how much? Yeah, I'm confused, Like I think
26:10
Rostering Brooklyn and DFS has just been awful. I mean, every dude on
26:15
their team scores like fifteen real life points. I just don't I guess I
26:18
don't get it to understand it. I mean, I'm going to be lower
26:22
weight as it relates to Brooklyn on this in this game. I'm just not
26:26
a not a fan of them, but I will have me some Jonathan Kamena.
26:29
This guy has just been on the mission absolutely dominating. I feel like
26:33
every game he plays, and of course the game that goes to overtime.
26:37
He he doesn't do good. But outside of that, he had I think
26:40
five or six straight you know, forty plus points point Draftking points performances.
26:47
Give me some Jonathan Kamena at seven thousand. I mean, if I was
26:49
going to play, if I was going to play some of these Brooklyn guys,
26:55
I just saw where Hebrews said that that he got, he got ruled
27:00
in. Who was at? Dennis Smith is ruled in? I mean I
27:03
like Dennis Smith. I like that price tag on him. Lonnie Walker four
27:07
thousand, I guess you could play, But man, there's just no way
27:11
that I'm playing a Spencer dinwitty guys horrendous. No, No, I wouldn't
27:15
say, no Brooklyn. I'm gonna be way lower on Brooklyn. I guess
27:19
I don't understand why three of their dudes are thirty thirty, thirty five percent
27:23
plus. Oh but no, thank you for me. Give me some kaminga
27:26
in this game, and I'm gonna be lower on this game. I saw
27:29
someone mention Klay Thompson, No chance I'm playing Klay Thompson in DFS tonight.
27:34
No chance, he says. I mean the Brooklyn guys are getting ownership because
27:37
Finney Smith is outright sharp ruins out. Ben Simmons is out which helps some
27:41
of those guards, like the Cam Thomas right, that's getting getting ownership here.
27:45
I think it's a solid matchup for Cam Thomas at sixty six hundred.
27:48
But to your point, I mean, they just got so many guys,
27:51
right, Cam john Cam Cam Johnson, right, mcal Bridges, Cam Thomas,
27:56
Lonnie Walker, Dinwitty, Right, they got Dennis Smith. They just
27:59
feel like they have a million guards. They all go out there and play
28:02
their twenty five to thirty minutes, all score fifteen points, right, and
28:06
the scoring is just spread out. Lonnie Walker at four K, I think
28:11
is a great play. Obviously, he's gonna be one of the chalkiest players
28:14
in the slate. He should play his minutes there, his twenty seven to
28:18
thirty minutes. He's been playing good basketball as well, shooting good from the
28:21
field. I mean seven or fourteen, seven to sixteen, eight of sixteen.
28:25
He's taken almost double digit three point attempts in each of the last three
28:27
games, nine to eight and eight. So at a four K player,
28:30
it's hard to ignore what he's been doing. So I think he's a solid
28:33
option. Overall, my favorite play in this game is definitely gonna be a
28:37
pod here for Brandon Podzinski for the Golden State Warriors. This guy is going
28:42
to play all the minutes he can handle. He's gonna chuck his shots,
28:47
and I mean he's a hustle player. He's grabbing the rebounds, he's grabbing
28:49
assist, and he's scoring basketball. I mean had a double double last game.
28:53
Game before that, he had a double double. Last game was rebounds,
28:57
game before that was assist. I think at five to seven, he's
29:00
gonna get ownership. But he's definitely my favorite play in this game. I'll
29:04
take him over all of these nets up at the top outside of a Lonnie
29:07
Walker. So I prefer him over Cam Johnson. I prefer him over Cam
29:11
Thomas mckal bridges. I prefer Pod over all three of those guys. Lonnie
29:15
Walker is my favorite net just because the price point I think is the most
29:21
fair, and he's taken these shot attempts. I think Dennis Smith Junior is
29:25
an alright guy. At thirty seven hundred. I'm just I just don't know
29:30
what the minutes look like. I mean, he hasn't played over twenty minutes
29:33
in the last four games. I don't know if you need his value at
29:37
thirty seven hundred when you've got a guy like Lennie Walker who's guaranteed the minutes
29:41
pretty much. But again, it is definitely an interesting game. From DFS,
29:48
sounds like you're a little bit under on Brooklyn. I'm kind of leaning
29:51
that way too. I see new ones talking about it in the chat.
29:53
We saw this spot the other night with Memphis. Right, similar situation,
29:56
but only the Memphis guys were a cheaper than what these Brooklyn guys. Right,
30:00
Cam Thomas is over six K, mckal bridges over seven K. You
30:04
still have Claxton in there at almost seven K. The Memphis guys literally only
30:10
had eight dudes in rotation, and the highest priced dude was what six like
30:14
six K. The rest of them were all under forty five hundred and four
30:17
K, and not a lot of them ended up optimal. Obviously, that's
30:19
a different situation, different game. We take a night by night basis here
30:22
in Daily Fantasy, but all ownership seems to be concentrated on this game.
30:29
I think I'm gonna be a little bit under. I like Pod. Like
30:32
I said, I like Lennie Walker. Those my two favorite plays in this
30:33
game. Outside of that, I just don't have a ton of interest.
30:36
I'm not gonna chase Steph Curry coming off that massive game where he scored almost
30:41
eighty right shot twenty two of thirty eight, took twenty three three point attempts.
30:45
I mean, he was feeling it so outside that. I don't think
30:49
I can touch Kaminga at seven K either. His prices now starting to adjust
30:55
appropriately. DraftKings has done a good job getting his price up there. I
30:57
don't hate Klay Thompson at six K. Oh it oh man, that guy's
31:03
horrendous. Yeah, I mean it's just I mean, you know what you're
31:06
getting with Klay Thompson right getting. You're getting a terrible basketball player at this
31:11
point in his career, a guy that's gonna chuck at nineteen times, miss
31:12
about sixteen of them. You want to pay six K for him, but
31:15
you don't want to pay seven K for forty forty five points out of Kaminga.
31:21
I mean, Klay Thompson, goodness gracious, is not getting Kaminga's not
31:25
getting forty five points tonight. I'll tell you that. Right now, you're
31:27
saying Klay Thompson. I mean, you know what you're getting. I definitely
31:30
like podcast. I know what you're getting a player, and I'm gonna steal
31:33
titles line that it's absolutely cheeks. Klay Thompson is trash. All right,
31:40
we'll see, we'll see what happens. So you're telling me Klay Thompson is
31:42
is gonna be what what you look like against Title Town on the I'm the
31:47
old slab in Arizona, Titletown. Then then then Klay Thompson. If I
31:51
could click on titles name at six thousand, clicking it over Lay Thompson,
31:55
Well, hey, Title is a hustle guy and you're you're sleeping on Title.
31:59
But uh, I'll shut up about that. You're gonna f around and
32:00
find out come out Arizona this weekend here. But I don't think Klay Thompson
32:05
is the terrible play at six K, so I do like him. I
32:07
like Podzemski. Those are my two favorite Warriors, not touching him in at
32:10
seven k not gonna chase Curry. And then on the Brooklyn side, Lonnie
32:15
Walker I think is definitely my favorite play there in that game. All right,
32:22
last game of Slate after we got the track. Yeah, after Hamwich
32:27
got us off track there, he's hef heel was definitely uh, he's definitely
32:30
fired up over over Klay Thompson. I don't know what Lay Thompson did to
32:32
Hamdwich. Maybe he drained AU three in his face or something. I don't
32:36
know. But nonetheless, let's jump into the last game of the slate here,
32:40
Pelicans Toronto two thirty is the total big spread in this one, eleven
32:44
point spread, so much like that Charlotte Lakers game to kick us off here.
32:49
In terms of news in this one, Herb Jones questionable, Larry Nance
32:52
questionable, Zion Williamson also questionable, which is all that's pretty big news.
32:57
And then the big news R J. Barrett is out here in this game,
33:00
John Say Porters also out, but total is back for the Raptors,
33:04
and then Cody Zellers also back for the Pelicans here in this one, break
33:09
this one down for me. Yeah, the Raptors on the second night of
33:15
a back to back, had the game won in OKC last night. Then
33:20
as Hebrews said, Sga was presumed dead at halftime, came back and was
33:23
I think a rebound shot of a triple double just absolutely blew up. So
33:27
they went to overtime in that game. I think the Pelicans roll tonight.
33:30
I think you said it, but I think a Zion is questionable if he
33:35
were to sit, I really like jove all tonight sixty five hundred the center
33:39
position. Also, if Zion sits, give me some brandon Ingram seventy seven
33:44
hundred. I think he eats tonight. No RJ. Barrett in the lineup,
33:47
give me some brandon Ingram. Depending on you know. HERB Jones's status.
33:53
Larry Nance is also questionable. I mean, I think you could get
33:57
some of those value guys. Trey Murphy. I don't mind Trey Murphy should
34:00
HERB Jones said he was horrendous the other night shooting what three to ten on
34:06
back to back nights, and then the other night I think he was one
34:07
of twos that So he's gonna chuck if he's in there, especially if he's
34:12
starting. Don't mind him. With RJ. Barrett out, that obviously opens
34:15
up a lot of minutes, a lot of shots, a lot of different
34:17
things. So give me some quickly. I like Emmanuel quickly tonight seven thousand
34:22
dollars. Don't mind that price tag going up against this Pelicans team, I'll
34:28
be lower than most, But I do like Brandon Ingram, especially if Zion
34:31
sits like quickly on the other side of my favorite valentunas. I don't,
34:36
I don't, I don't mind, and then I guess my sneaky play if
34:39
you will, would be Bruce Brown fifty nine hundred. I think he gets
34:43
some of those RJ. Barrett minutes and he just does so many different good
34:46
things that we saw last year with the Nuggets. Obviously not had the same
34:49
year as he did last year. He gave me some Bruce Brown at fifty
34:52
nine hundred to pick up some of those Barretts men, especially if he's starting
34:54
tonight. Yeah, no, I think that's definitely good. But I mean
35:00
I would I like Gary Trent much more here. I think this is a
35:04
great, great Gary Trent spot at forty eight hundred. I mean, he
35:07
should play all the minutes he can handle. He's gonna chuck his shots,
35:10
his ten to fifteen shot attempts, and he's gonna take his eight to ten
35:15
three point attempts at forty eight hundred here in a matchup that's pretty good overall
35:20
here. So I do like Gary Trent at forty eight hundred, and then
35:22
I like the spot for Scotty Barnes as well at eighty eight hundred here,
35:27
I mean he should get back get up in transition at eighty eight hundred,
35:31
He's he has a ceiling at that price point. It definitely helps that R.
35:34
J. Barrett's out, So Scotty Barnes Garrett Gary Tranner my two favorite
35:37
guys on the Raptors side, Manual Quickly if herb Jones is in there,
35:42
has a pretty tough assignment. I mean, herb Jones very good defender,
35:45
likely will grab Emmanuel quickly here. If HERT Jones were to miss, that
35:49
definitely boosts obviously the match up four quickly. So that's I'd have a little
35:52
bit more interest in a guy like Emmanuel quickly here if herb Jones were out.
35:57
But if he's in there, I'm gonna side with Scotty Barnes. I'm
35:59
gonna skide with Gary Trent from the Toronto side. You can always play brandon
36:04
Ingram at seventy seven hundred. If brandon Ingram or if Zion misses, I
36:07
like brandon Ingram a lot. It also gives CJ. McCollum better play as
36:13
well at sixty nine hundred, and then the big boost right with no Zion
36:16
would go to Joevel. Joe Weel will probably become one of the best center
36:21
plays on the entire slate, especially at sixty five hundred here going up against
36:24
guys like fed Young Right and Total in this game, so definitely a news
36:30
dependent game overall. I think brandon Ingram is a solid play either way because
36:36
he does have a ceiling at that price point. And then two favorite players
36:40
on Toronto gonna be Scotty Barnes, Gary Trent overall Joe Veil if Zion were
36:45
to miss. That's all six games here him. Any final thoughts for the
36:51
people before you give your play of the day to probably come off mute first
36:59
before you talk. And donkey, Hey, I got in trouble for calling
37:01
Hebrew a donkey of other day and Hebrew is not a donkey. He's a
37:05
Cheatah. Someone told me so. Yeah, So I was the donkey today
37:08
and the people needed to hear what I had to say, and I said
37:10
is don't play Klay Thompson. That's my best advice that I can give you.
37:15
I think someone said he could hit eight threes, and yeah, he
37:17
absolutely could. He could also miss eight as well, and that's in a
37:21
row. So uh yeah, nothing nothing, nothing wise for me today.
37:24
But we can go to plays of the day if you do, If you're
37:27
ready, all right, I'll kick it over to you your player of the
37:30
day here tonight. Who's gonna be in the lineup that you need to ship
37:35
all the money on DraftKings you love? And I'm gonna take my guy eighty
37:40
five hundred point guard shooting guard eligible. He's gonna compete with Luca to night.
37:45
Give me some Kyrie at eighty five hundred tonight in Philadelphia. All right,
37:52
Well, I had that guy pinned, but you were slabbing on him
37:54
earlier, So I'm definitely doubling down with you on Kyrie. I do like
37:58
Kyrie quite a bet, but I'll give the people another kind of mid tier
38:02
play. I'm going back to the well here in this last game that we
38:06
just talked about, Gary Trent at forty eight hundred. Here is here,
38:08
guy Hebrew in the chat talking about three point attempts here with the pals,
38:14
right, they give up a ton of them. Gary Trent's gonna chuck hopefully
38:16
ten to twelve three point attempts here. He's gonna take his twelve to fifteen
38:21
shots. He's gonna play all the minutes he can have. Obviously, no
38:22
RJ. Barrett helps the case forty eight hundred for him. I'm seeing sub
38:27
five percent ownership on a guy like Gary Trent in his own shooting guard eligible
38:30
here, but definitely can play him at the shooting guard guard position or the
38:35
UTAOL spot. I think Gary Trent has a nice spot here tonight. I'm
38:38
going with Gary Trent forty eight hundred as my play of the day. That's
38:43
gonna do it for this edition of the NBA Show. Here. We appreciate
