  Fall systems don't clear the lift? What's going on? Ben, Shawn,
• 0:38
  Jordan, pair By and eight others watching this show. Happy Wednesday. Eight
• 0:43
  games slate on DK, six games slate on Fan Duel, Big Prize Schools
• 0:48
  twenty five hundred. The Millie is on DK today, So if you are
• 0:52
  in that, good luck to you. Pretty much, first or last is
• 0:55
  always in those contests, but good luck if you were in that. If
• 0:58
  not, plenty other good turns. It's out there, like always fun eight
• 1:02
  games late. Some injury news like always, but if you look at it,
• 1:06
  Luca, Trey, Jones, Cade, Kylerie, Jalen Green, Luke
• 1:10
  Canard, it's a mediocre injury report. I think. Talking eight games on
• 1:15
  a Wednesday, middle of the year, Rio, what are your thoughts on
• 1:18
  this slate? How are you doing on this fine Wednesday afternoon. Yeah,
• 1:22
  I'm doing good. Don't have any tickets tonight to the Big Millie, But
• 1:26
  good luck to everybody that's gonna be in there. I know that you got
• 1:27
  a few in there. I know Penzac has a few in there. He's
• 1:30
  been crushing lately, So good luck to you guys and anybody else that is
• 1:34
  competing for the million dollars tonight. Yeah, really really good slate though,
• 1:38
  a lot of good games to attack. A lot of the midsier is just
• 1:42
  absolutely loaded tonight, a ton of really good center options. Yeah. As
• 1:47
  far as the injury stuff goes, it's it's all kind of up in the
• 1:49
  air. We'll do our best to break down as the best we can.
• 1:53
  But yeah, a bunch of midday downgrades, so we'll probably see those guys
• 1:59
  closer to the doubtful side of things. I would assume Luca probably in tonight.
• 2:04
  Just some lower back tightness for him, so he probably plays. But
• 2:07
  yeah, all in all, really fun eight game slate should be pretty high
• 2:09
  scoring. A couple really close competitive games that I'm looking forward to breaking down
• 2:14
  tonight. Yeah, there's some fun ones for sure. I think it'll be
• 2:16
  a fun slight Sean Sullivan says someone taking down at million tonight. I saw
• 2:21
  Tambo in there. Maybe Tambo becomes a million maker that I forget who the
• 2:24
  name is that always tries to speak it into existence, af Gator, I
• 2:29
  believe it is. So Yeah, if you're in there, good luck tonight
• 2:31
  for sure. Great prizes. You mentioned Conley midday downgrade, CAD Midday down
• 2:38
  grade pretty show. You said Kyrie, you think Luca plays Kyrie more fifty
• 2:42
  to fifty. That's pretty much an injury news. Again, we'll go game
• 2:46
  by game like always, you know the drill and touch on injuries there,
• 2:49
  but that's the main We expect Luca to play Kyrie. Who knows with him
• 2:53
  Cad and Mike Conley. Midday down grade is usually lean out there if you
• 2:59
  had to guess. But again, any changes, cash reports will be updated.
• 3:01
  Projections ownership we'll be in discord. Everything you need, any updates,
• 3:07
  it is updated throughout the night so you have the biggest edge. Everything you
• 3:10
  need an NBA, you need projections, you need an updated throw out the
• 3:15
  night with news changing, we have that over here at schipination dot com.
• 3:19
  Golf is going on. There's still showdowns, no MMA this week. It'll
• 3:23
  be back next week, waste managements next week, NFL playoffs this week Saturday
• 3:28
  morning, ten Eastern. We'll be doing a show two gamer on Sunday.
• 3:31
  Good showdowns. Lot of money be made this week. Use that promo code
• 3:36
  Mayo get you ten percent off any package. Not the weekly Weekly doesn't come
• 3:39
  with discord either. If you want to just give us a try see what
• 3:43
  it's like. Weekly is obviously the cheapest, then monthly, six month annual
• 3:47
  use that code Mayo gets you ten percent off any of those packages. Give
• 3:52
  it a try and then get in the discord if you do join. You
• 3:55
  mentioned mid tier bill for sure, that is going to be the more popular
• 4:00
  route today. I think it is most definitely the right route, and when
• 4:03
  you're looking at like studs to even spend Luca Jannis Sga the only three above
• 4:09
  ten K, but this mid tier I totally agree with you. Another story
• 4:13
  of the slate the Atlanta Hawks, no Trey Young right now, if the
• 4:16
  slate locked in five minutes, all these Q tags were in. I think
• 4:20
  Hawks by far the most popular on the slates three and a lot of optimals.
• 4:26
  I think four in some as well, So we'll get to that.
• 4:29
  But any other initial broad slate overview thoughts before we go game by game,
• 4:33
  uh no, not really was kind of surprised with the de John sain Murray
• 4:38
  price. I thought he DraftKings has been pretty aggressive with their their pricing changes.
• 4:43
  I would I was kind of expecting to be closer to nine K.
• 4:46
  But yeah, we'll definitely Hawks are definitely the talk of the slates. So
• 4:49
  we'll do our best to break the down when we get to that game,
• 4:51
  but I think there are some ways to get away from it, and we'll
• 4:55
  go right here Sean Sullivan. First game of the night, LaMelo with Nora's
• 4:59
  year year shipped to Miami. The Hornets take on the Detroit Pistons. Two
• 5:03
  thirty one total, Detroit favored by two and a half. On the Detroit
• 5:08
  side, again, Cad is questionable, huge news there. As far as
• 5:12
  the Charlotte side, Cody Martin's questionable and there without Gordon Hayward and Mark Williams
• 5:16
  still obviously Rosier was shipped. I'll start with you, but that doesn't sound
• 5:21
  like Lowry's gonna play until the All Star break either. So start on this
• 5:26
  Hornet side. How does the offense gonna look without Rosier? Does Cody Martin
• 5:30
  injury status, do anything? And then talk about the Pistons with or without
• 5:32
  kid. Yeah, So on the Hornet side of things, obviously not having
• 5:36
  Rosier there is gonna it's gonna enter probably Cody Martin back to the starting lineup
• 5:42
  if he's in. If he's not in, I think that probably Nick Smith
• 5:46
  Junior is or Bryce McGowan's would enter the starting lineup either way. Those guys
• 5:49
  are gonna be playing a lot more now with Terrozier gone. That's about thirty
• 5:54
  five thirty six minutes a night, a good amount of shot volumes to go
• 5:58
  around too, So we'll have to see how they're gonna approach that. But
• 6:01
  they've been giving Nick Smith Junior a lot more run anyways, really, so
• 6:04
  I feel like he is probably the big winner in this trade outside of you
• 6:08
  know, LaMelo ball Miles Bridges, those type of guys. But yeah,
• 6:12
  Brandon Miller, I think that he is probably the biggest winner from this trade.
• 6:16
  He's been playing really well lately, scoring twenty three plus points in three
• 6:20
  straight games. I think now he's probably gonna be seeing around thirty five thirty
• 6:25
  four to thirty five minutes a night consistently with Rosier gone. And this is
• 6:30
  just a really good matchup all around. Both these teams are awful defensively.
• 6:33
  They're the dead last and second worst team in defensive raiding. Both are awful
• 6:39
  rim defenses, Charlotte much worse and a three point defense, but Detroit allowing
• 6:45
  a ton of points to pick and roll ball handlers and Brandon Miller has been
• 6:47
  adding more of that to his game lately, so he's in a really great
• 6:50
  spot. And yeah, like Sean said, LaMelo ball great spin up options
• 6:56
  tonight, probably one of my favorites on the whole slate ninety six hundred.
• 7:00
  This is just a great matchup, like I said, with the ball handling
• 7:01
  role he is. The Pistons are second worst than DVP to point guards this
• 7:06
  season, and LaMelo is averaging the fourth most points per game in pick and
• 7:11
  roll as a ball handler. I think that he just absolutely smashes tonight.
• 7:14
  He's in a great spot. Miles Bridges, He's been playing a ton of
• 7:16
  minutes too lately, thirty nine plus minutes and three straight games forty in the
• 7:20
  last two. The Hornets are pretty thin or they have a little bit more
• 7:25
  front court depth for court depth for They'll be getting Nick Richards back tonight,
• 7:29
  He's probable, so that will take off a couple of minutes that he was
• 7:31
  playing as the small ball five. But yeah, his role is going to
• 7:36
  be much bigger with Rosier gone. His second on the team in usage.
• 7:39
  With Rosie off the court this season at twenty five percent, He's just going
• 7:43
  to continue to play a ton of minutes to have interest in him. Yeah,
• 7:46
  I think if Cody Martin plays, you can get there though. Four
• 7:48
  point three K really good price tag for him. He's been playing pretty well
• 7:53
  since he returned or he made his debut a couple of weeks ago from the
• 7:57
  injury, but he's been out for a couple of games. Definitely would have
• 8:00
  to monitor that, yeah, if he's gone though, if he's not in
• 8:03
  tonight, I do think that Nick Smith Junior probably gets a good amount of
• 8:07
  run and he would be a decent value option four point one K in a
• 8:11
  really good game environment. And on the Detroit side, it's really all kind
• 8:15
  of like predicated on Cad Cunningham's injury status. I think that he's probably leaning
• 8:20
  closer to sittings since he was probable yesterday and they got downgrade to questionable.
• 8:24
  But you never know, we've seen weirder things happen. If he is back,
• 8:28
  you got to think that he'd be on some sort of minutes restriction since
• 8:31
  he's you know, the future of the of the Pistons franchise. They wouldn't
• 8:35
  be rushing it back to you know, the thirty six thirty eight minutes that
• 8:39
  he was playing on a nightly basis, and if that's the case, if
• 8:41
  he's on a minute limit, I don't think that you can get there.
• 8:45
  Almost eight K. Jade and Ivy would not be in play for me if
• 8:48
  Kate is back. If he's not back, He's been playing a lot more
• 8:52
  minutes lately. Monty Williams seems to have more trust in him now he's played
• 8:56
  thirty two plus minutes and four straight games. A great match obviously versus Charlotte.
• 9:01
  But the guy that I'm most excited about on the Piston side is Jalen
• 9:03
  Duran. He's shown hasn't really flashed huge upside lately, but he did have
• 9:09
  a fifty two point game in a week matchup versus the Wizards, and this
• 9:11
  one kind of profiles very similarly, where the Hornets are an awful rim defense
• 9:16
  and they're giving up a ton of fantasy points to a posting center. So
• 9:20
  I think that he makes a ton of sense at six point eight K.
• 9:22
  And then the last person I'll mention on the Piston side is Bojan Bogdanovic should
• 9:28
  see thirty plus minutes. Really good matchup for opposing three point shooters. The
• 9:33
  Hornets are bottom seven and three pointers allowed per game, and he's seen double
• 9:37
  digit shot attempts in pretty much every game since he's returned from injury. But
• 9:43
  yeah, that's pretty much where I'm looking at this game. I think this
• 9:45
  is a good game to attack right off the bat with a lot of people
• 9:48
  on both sides in play. Yeah, great breakdown. Does Duran does Caden
• 9:52
  injury news whether he's in or out, do anything to Durhan, Like to
• 9:56
  me, the biggest beneficiary is big Danovic at six' nine for Ivy's still
• 10:01
  like a lot. I still don't think I'm really going to get there.
• 10:03
  No one else like I still don't think I get to Bergs or Thompson,
• 10:07
  like, they're all probably efficient where And you mentioned if Kate's in, I
• 10:11
  think you can probably find better spends at seven eight, So really, big
• 10:16
  Danovitch gets the biggest bump. If Kate's out, I like him. If
• 10:18
  he's in, I don't like him as much. But Duran I think he's
• 10:22
  fine. I'm like, Kate doesn't do much, but you can definitely tell
• 10:26
  me if I'm wrong. Yeah, just looking at the on off court numbers.
• 10:30
  With Kaid off the court this season, Duran is actually the guy that
• 10:33
  benefits the most in terms of his overall like averages. From a usage standpoint,
• 10:37
  he sees the biggest usage bump. They have been talking about getting him
• 10:43
  more involved as like a you know, front court passer. They've been getting
• 10:46
  him more front court touches, kind of get him, you know, more
• 10:48
  involved like al pren Singun Yokic type thing. Obviously he's not there like passing
• 10:54
  wise, but that's kind of the the new offense of the NBA right now,
• 10:58
  So I think they're trying to get him more acclimated as passer. So
• 11:01
  I think that he does kind of benefit a little bit more if Kid is
• 11:03
  out, because obviously Kate is just such a high usage guy. He was,
• 11:07
  you know he had I always talked about it earlier in the year.
• 11:09
  That's just how great the role was for him. From ball handling, standpoint,
• 11:13
  touch time, usage, just his percentage all that stuff. So having
• 11:18
  Kate out obviously would spread out amongst a lot of people. Yeah, that
• 11:22
  makes sense. So I mean, I like Durham regardless, but if he's
• 11:24
  out, I definitely like him. So six't eight. He's by far
• 11:28
  my favorite player on Detroit, and I think it would be Bohan if Kate
• 11:31
  is out, I would like him at five eight. If he's in,
• 11:33
  it probably is just Duran on the Detroit side. Charlotte, I mean,
• 11:39
  I really like him, Meloan Miles Bridges regardless Cody Martin though, if I
• 11:43
  like him, if he's in at four point three K, I do think
• 11:46
  he starts a fine price take that makes a lot of work on this late.
• 11:50
  If he's out, though, is any of I think Brandon Miller's fine
• 11:52
  too, regardless of the Cody Martin news, he'll probably be pretty low on
• 11:56
  two guard Ford ALGIBILDI So those are the main Bridges, Brandon Miller, the
• 12:01
  main guys there. Talk about Nick Richards though, if you haven't already if
• 12:05
  I missed it, but then if Cody Martin's out, any of those secondary
• 12:07
  Charlotte piece is now coming to play. You mentioned Nick Smith at four to
• 12:11
  one. I think he's gonna be a little popular on FanDuel regardless if he's
• 12:15
  out. I think he'll be He's three point AK on FanDuel point guard and
• 12:18
  shooting guard eligible, whereas on DK he's four point one K also point guard
• 12:24
  shooting guard eligible. But I don't think right now he's gonna be more popular
• 12:28
  on FANDEL than DK. If Martin's out, I think he'll be very popular
• 12:31
  on FanDuel. Still not sure what his ownership would get to on DK,
• 12:35
  but any one besides Nick Smith. If Cody Martin's out, then talk about
• 12:39
  Nick Richards. Yeah, as far as the Nick Richards stuff goes, I
• 12:43
  don't think I'm gonna get there tonight. Just there's so many really good spend
• 12:46
  up options at center tonight that I will probably want to have two of them
• 12:50
  in my lineups. I mean, you could probably get three to four depending
• 12:54
  on you know, eligibility with power forwards center eligible some of these guys.
• 12:58
  So I don't think I'll get there on Nick Richards, and he's returning from
• 13:01
  multi game absence is probably going to be limited in some sort of fashion.
• 13:05
  Yeah, But as far as the secondary guys go, I think that Nick
• 13:09
  Smith Junior would be my favorite if Cody Martin was out. If Cody Martin's
• 13:11
  in, I like him as a value option where there's just not a ton
• 13:15
  of value on this slate. I do think that some will open up later
• 13:18
  depending on some news with the Mike Conley stuff, Luke Kenard, even in
• 13:24
  the Memphis game, possibly Luca Kyrie depending if one of those guys sit,
• 13:28
  I wouldn't be surprised to see somebody sit on a back to back game.
• 13:31
  And okay, okay, see, so I don't really want to lock up
• 13:35
  you know a guy like Bryce mcgallan's who's just such a low fantasy point permitted
• 13:39
  producer where there could be better spots later. Or I just flip the build
• 13:43
  and do more mids here and get away from those type of plays. Yeah,
• 13:46
  I like it. Thuring on the Detroit side gets a bump of kids
• 13:50
  out, Bigdonalanvitch gets the biggest bump of kids out for me. Mamalo,
• 13:54
  Brandon Miller, Miles Bridge as all strong plays. And if Cody Martin's in,
• 13:58
  I like him as well. So that's a quick breakdown for the first
• 14:01
  game you mentioned. Mike Conley, perfect segue into the second of two that
• 14:05
  lasted seven Eastern Timberwolves Washington Wizards two thirty total Twolves Timberwolves eleven point favorites.
• 14:11
  Mike Conley midday downgrade with an illness, he is now questionable. If he's
• 14:16
  out, I think Nikhil Alexander Walker slides in to the starting lineup four point
• 14:22
  two k shooting guard and small forward eligibility. As far as the Washington side,
• 14:26
  they are completely healthy. Easy for me in this game, Washington complete
• 14:30
  fade, full health. All prices are appropriate. If you've got someone,
• 14:33
  it'll probably be low owned. So I'm interested. As far as the Timberwolves
• 14:37
  side, kind of what we talked about a couple of nights ago with Gobaar
• 14:41
  and and in Towns, I think it's at next two of those guys.
• 14:48
  I still like that rule on this late and I still think they're all very
• 14:50
  strong plays, all three of those. If you want to ride the hot
• 14:54
  streak with Cap, you can do that. I also curious your take on
• 14:58
  Finch's comments after the game pretty much was like, shame on you Cat for
• 15:03
  going for sixty plus. That was very interesting. I do get what he
• 15:05
  was saying. I mean, the ball was staggered, they weren't running their
• 15:09
  offense as much. They got back into the game focusing on because the Timberwolves
• 15:13
  were focusing on getting cat Is points too much. But still is very interesting
• 15:18
  in common so talk about commonly news. If you'll make a rule ant Cat
• 15:22
  go Bear. That's really all the interests I have. It's on the Minnesota
• 15:26
  side. For me, what do you got? Yeah, the head coaching
• 15:28
  quotes were definitely interesting. I think it was just it's a you know,
• 15:33
  learning learning thing for them. I think they know what they did was wrong,
• 15:37
  just kind of hunting cat down, trying to get him his you know
• 15:41
  whatever record he was trying to break. Even Anthony Edwards said that they were
• 15:43
  just forcing him the ball. But this team has been, you know,
• 15:46
  really disciplined all season long. They don't really They're not a team that's been
• 15:50
  like stat padding as much. They care about something bigger. They're one of
• 15:54
  the best teams in the whole NBA. Just had a you know, it
• 15:56
  was a kind of like a mind a brain fart type game. I think
• 16:00
  they'll they'll bounce back in a big way here and definitely come away with a
• 16:04
  blowout victory. Yeah. I mean, if Colin's out, I think you
• 16:08
  can definitely go right back to Nikle Alexander Walker in a great matchup versus Washington.
• 16:14
  He's been really solid filling in for Mike Conley all season long. Great
• 16:18
  value option four point two k don't only have much to add. I think
• 16:21
  Kyle Anderson would even make some sense. They kind of run him at the
• 16:23
  point a little bit too, But yeah, I would probably make a rule.
• 16:27
  I honestly would probably be max one of the big three for them tonight.
• 16:32
  I just I don't really want to lock in two of these guys when
• 16:34
  on a bigger slate. If this was like a you know, five or
• 16:38
  six games slate, I'd be okay with it. But there's some really really
• 16:41
  good options in that same price range of like Anthony Edwards down to Rudy Gobert,
• 16:45
  that and even cheaper that I like a lot. So I don't really
• 16:48
  want to lock in to more than two guys or more than one guy,
• 16:52
  uh from a game that could possibly blow out. Not saying that two of
• 16:55
  them can't get there, but I think that they're gonna have to pay off
• 16:59
  in a really big where. There's some other spots that I think they could
• 17:02
  could outscore them, but I think I like this spot the most for Rudy
• 17:06
  Gobert. Been attacking the Wizards all season long with opposing centers. They're dead
• 17:10
  lasting DVP to opposing centers. They're allowing the most rebounds per game. Obviously,
• 17:14
  that's where Rudy Gobert. Rudy Gobert thrives. They're allowing almost nineteen rebounds
• 17:18
  per game to opposing centers and allowing the most points off of offensive rebounds.
• 17:23
  I think that he's in a great spot. I don't really have much add
• 17:26
  Obviously, you can attack the Wizards in multiple ways. Anthony Edwards Karnthony Town's
• 17:32
  make a ton of sense as well as mid tier or lower tiers, spend
• 17:37
  up options and then yea, Wizards are a full faid for me. Not
• 17:40
  kind of can go there against the Wolves. Yeah, pretty much locks up
• 17:45
  on that game. I don't know if this is your buddy or if he
• 17:48
  knows that you eat a lot of cereal, or do you even a lot
• 17:49
  of cereal, because I do not remember the last time I've had cereals,
• 17:52
  so if I I have actually been eating a lot of cereal lately. That's
• 17:57
  kind of crazy that j since Terner, who I am not related to,
• 18:02
  would say that, or at least I don't know, we could be distant
• 18:04
  cousins or something from those out there. That is his last name. That's
• 18:10
  why I said that. If he's from the South, then we could we
• 18:14
  could definitely be related. That's where my dad's from, North Carolina, so
• 18:17
  maybe well, to answer that, question. You've been eating cereal, so
• 18:19
  what is the cereal of the choice today. I'm trying to slay on the
• 18:23
  healthy kicks. I've been doing those. The magic spoon cereal. It's like
• 18:26
  the higher fiber, high protein one. That's not that bad. Obviously,
• 18:30
  it's not as good as like a honey bunches of oats or any or Simon
• 18:34
  toast crunch something like that, but it's crunches goded. Cinnamon Toel's crunches,
• 18:38
  got it for sure, But hey, on the grind, baby, I
• 18:41
  saw Sean Sullivan, I saw Jordan's always on the grind, trying to be
• 18:45
  out there, trying to eat healthy hit the gym. But cinnamon Toa's crunch
• 18:48
  is goded the last I do not know the last time I've had cereal,
• 18:52
  though, but I grew up eating cereal pretty much every single day. Do
• 18:55
  you prefer a skim milk or water for your cereal? Both are criminal?
• 19:00
  But if you're pulling water, come on, ross, I we like it,
• 19:03
  man, But you might be in a timeout for months for that comment.
• 19:07
  That's crazy. Yeah, no, not even one percent? Always all
• 19:11
  right, let's keep it wrong. Memphis Grizzlies Miami Heat two thirteen total,
• 19:14
  Miami favored by ten and a half on the injury report and pretty actually important
• 19:18
  news. Luke Canard is questionable. Memphis is already pretty thin, and if
• 19:22
  Luke Carnard's out, I think, I mean, I already have an interest
• 19:26
  in some of these Memphis guys, so I'll throw it to you on the
• 19:29
  Memphis but they're without Santy that obviously was still without Smart Bane Jaws out for
• 19:33
  the years. So Luke Canard Q tag is pretty important for me. On
• 19:38
  the Miami side, no injury news, Hotke has is doubtful, nothing changes
• 19:45
  there, So it's bam or bust on Miami side for me. Then the
• 19:48
  Memphis side, I mean, if Luke Carnard plays, I have interested him
• 19:52
  at five to five, pretty much running the points. Jared Jackson solid price
• 19:56
  tag Contra point guard, shooting guard eligible like if Carnard's out, Contra is
• 20:00
  probably one of the most popular plays on the slate. If he's Lukenard's out,
• 20:04
  do you think there's a chance Gilliard run point or do you think he'll
• 20:07
  be contra Davis Roddy at four to two on a slate where Valley's pretty tough,
• 20:11
  but Xader Tillman. Tilman's not least favorite because he's just centered eligible,
• 20:15
  but I think a lot of these Memphis guys aren't playing. Can only be
• 20:18
  stronger if Canard's out, So break down that side first. They'll get to
• 20:22
  Miami. Yeah, so the the Grizzlies have been running Canard as their kind
• 20:26
  of defective point guard, but they've been running a ton of their offense through
• 20:30
  Jeron Jackson Junior more. He's got a lot more minutes as a ball handler's
• 20:33
  been getting more pick and roll stuff, so they don't really have a true
• 20:37
  point guard out there. I think that if Canard were to miss, then
• 20:41
  it's Contra has been starting. I'm pretty sure, right, yeah, he
• 20:45
  has. It probably would be a Gilliard unless they go like Contra to the
• 20:48
  one and they go Zaire or Rodi or just something. But Contra has been
• 20:55
  starting, so it'd be someone new not named Gilliard if they did start him
• 20:59
  at the point, yes, I would kind of. I think it would
• 21:03
  make sense for them to go Gilliard unless, like you said, they just
• 21:04
  want to run conchards. I years the one and two, which they've done
• 21:08
  multiple times this season. I would love to just find any way I can
• 21:12
  to get away from John Conschar. I mean, he just doesn't. He
• 21:17
  gets there with the with steals and blocks. He had five blocks last game.
• 21:21
  As a point guard or a guard, I just would I would bet
• 21:23
  that would not happen on a nightly basis. And he doesn't take any shots,
• 21:27
  really has really low usage. I would find a way to get away
• 21:30
  from John Conchar. But yeah, I mean the I if Canard is in,
• 21:36
  I think I have a little bit interest in him. The Miami defense
• 21:38
  has been much better overall. They've gotten a lot better after struggling for you
• 21:42
  know, a couple of games without Jimmy Butler in there. But overall they've
• 21:47
  been really solid. The one area that they do give up points though,
• 21:48
  is to opposing catch and shoot shooters, especially three point shooters, and that
• 21:52
  makes a ton of sense for Luke Canard's game. He's been shooting lights out
• 21:56
  lately, had like four plus three point three pointers in like three of his
• 22:00
  last four games, So he would make sense at five point five K.
• 22:06
  And yeah, I don't know if he's out contract, going to get a
• 22:11
  ton of love. He'd probably be fifty plus percent owned, And I think
• 22:14
  you get away from it. I would not be looking to play him personally,
• 22:17
  but I would not follow anybody for doing it if that allows you to
• 22:19
  get up to Giannis or Luca or Sja or whatever it is you're looking to
• 22:22
  get up to spend up for. But yeah, if Billiard starts, I
• 22:26
  think that he would be a really solid option three point four K. He's
• 22:30
  shown to be a solid fantasy pointmant producer when he gets the minutes and then
• 22:33
  on the heat side. Yeah, like you said, just bammer bus,
• 22:37
  I think Grissies have been much worse with their interior defense since get rid of
• 22:42
  Bismack Biyombo. They're ranked bottom nine in room defense since then or in the
• 22:47
  month of January, so they've been much more vulnerable down low. I don't
• 22:52
  know if Terry Rozier is going to make his debut or not tonight, but
• 22:55
  if he did, I would obviously take a little bit of usage upside off
• 22:59
  of pretty much everybody Jimmy Butler till your hero bam one Bio. I think
• 23:02
  he's questionable right now, so I'm not sure if he's gonna make his debut
• 23:04
  or not tonight. I thought he wasn't. Someone in the jack can let
• 23:12
  us know, I didn't think I'm not seeing him questionable. Maybe I'm missing
• 23:15
  it though, I mean, regardless, I don't have it. We don't
• 23:18
  have interest on the heat side anyway. If he is, and maybe I
• 23:22
  don't even want BAM. I still don't think it means too much there,
• 23:26
  But somebody jack and let us know about Terror Roseier. I forgot to mention
• 23:32
  Greg Jackson as well. I just saw somebody mention him and Chad. Yeah,
• 23:34
  he's been playing more lately. I think that this is a fine matchup
• 23:38
  as a off ball catch and shoot guy. Four point one K definitely gonna
• 23:42
  see more run with no Santi tonight, so I think that he makes sense
• 23:45
  as a value option at four point one K. I mean, Memphis has
• 23:49
  ten guys if Lukenar plays and won the Scottie Pippen Junr. So like,
• 23:53
  if they don't have lu Canard, you're down to nine, assuming pipping at
• 23:57
  some run eight. It feels like they'd have to go Gillard at the point
• 24:02
  unless they just have them run all the ball handling with the second Uden stay
• 24:06
  you're kind of but man if Canard's out, I definitely have some interests in
• 24:11
  Memphis if it's Contra starting at the point, I'm probably running him. It's
• 24:15
  Gillard starting at the point. I'll probably have at least one of Gillard in
• 24:18
  contrat and a lot of lineups. Again, this game's at seven thirty Eastern,
• 24:22
  and I mean, we have some value on the slate, but no
• 24:25
  like slam dunk value. So I think Memphis would be some and if Lukenard
• 24:27
  plays like I actually want that. I really like Lukenard at five to five,
• 24:32
  running the point, chucking, hopefully makes some shots. But I'll be
• 24:34
  playing some of these Grizzlies eight point two K Jared Jackson fits the mid tier
• 24:38
  bill, but I think these guys just because of how thin they are,
• 24:44
  Like I don't love picking on the heat ten point favorites, low total,
• 24:47
  Like, I don't love it. But I'm a opportunity usage minutes all that's
• 24:52
  key in NBA. That's what I'm seeing on this on this Memphis side.
• 24:56
  Yeah, so all right, he is to be the term and we might
• 25:00
  he's questionable. Rio is right, I don't doesn't really do much to me
• 25:03
  though Dam's still in play. Though it's BAM or bust and BAM still fine.
• 25:07
  If if it was your place for you too. Yeah, I do
• 25:11
  like some other center options better though, so he would probably be like fifth
• 25:18
  if we're ranking some of these guys, like I guess we could rank him
• 25:22
  once we get to the other centers that we're we're gonna talk about later,
• 25:25
  all right, and then yeah, like so Tokyo talk about this. Even
• 25:29
  if the Heat win by thirty and Luke Canard, they have ten guys now
• 25:33
  Lukenard's out, it's nine. Scottie Pippen we're counting is one who would get
• 25:37
  blow at run, but he's hardly there. So I mentioned Jalen Nowell,
• 25:40
  and this is giving me nightmares from when I want a ticket and play Jalen
• 25:44
  Noel and I had all flames except him with one point. Thankfully. The
• 25:47
  dude's not even the league anymore. I think he's probably on the G League
• 25:49
  squad or something. He's not on the active roster from an icy, so
• 25:53
  he's a hooper though. The dude can put in the bucket. But even
• 25:56
  if this is a blawt though, like who gets the blow at Memphis on
• 26:00
  Roddy, Scottie Pippen, Gilliard, Gregory Jackson, they just run those guys
• 26:06
  and like Roddy and Gregor Jackson are gonna get some run anyway, Like would
• 26:11
  Zaire? Like, what are your thoughts on if this game blows out,
• 26:15
  who gets the run? Because some guys are gonna get both real run and
• 26:18
  blow out run. Yeah, this is I don't know if this is kind
• 26:23
  of a unique situation, so I'm not too sure, but I think they
• 26:26
  would probably give Scotty Pippen Jr. Some run. I think that they just
• 26:30
  signed him like a week or two ago, so maybe he gets some more
• 26:33
  run. Maybe it's Zaire. I I well, I know for sure that
• 26:38
  it's not gonna be Jeron Jackson Jr. It won't be Tillman, it won't
• 26:41
  be Kennard. It probably would I don't know. I Vince Williams might play
• 26:48
  in a blowout, but he's kind of important later he's been playing well,
• 26:52
  been playing a ton of minutes too. He probably would not get it.
• 26:56
  I think that it would probably be Roddy, greg Jackson, Zayre Hippin,
• 27:03
  and Gilliard. I guess, yeah, five of those six. I think
• 27:07
  that's that's probably right. Yeah, but those guys, a lot of those
• 27:10
  guys are gonna play Like if Luke Canard's out I mean, then again,
• 27:14
  we keep talking in circles. But I do think the Lukenard news is actually
• 27:17
  important on this slate and Memphis regardless, even if Luke Canard is in Conchers
• 27:21
  in play, Canard's in't play, Jaron Jackson's in play, Vince Williams at
• 27:25
  his price, He's the one I don't really have interest in. I still
• 27:27
  don't think Tillman's the craziest play. But center is strong on this slate,
• 27:32
  So monitor Canard news at game thirty minutes after Locke. We'll keep it rolling.
• 27:36
  But first I did take a look thirty second time out. That's my
• 27:40

  button, that subscribe button helps us out a time. We really do appreciate
• 28:02
  it. All right, let's keep it rolling. Next game on the slate,
• 28:03
  eight pm, Eastern Portland Trailblazers, Houston, Rockets two twenty total.
• 28:07
  Houston is favored by ten and a half. Injury report for Portland, Shaden
• 28:11
  Sharp is still out. As far as Houston, Reggie Bullock, questionable means
• 28:18
  nothing. Jalen Green is questionable with an illness though, that means something.
• 28:22
  Throw it to you any lean on Jalen Green. What does that news do
• 28:26
  if he is out? Because I think Sagoon is one of the more popular
• 28:29
  plays on the slate. And then Fred van Vliet Javari Smith, I think
• 28:33
  they have solid price tags. They get big bumps from me. If Jalen
• 28:36
  Green's out, so Houston side more interesting. And then touch on Portland as
• 28:40
  well. Yeah, I think Jalen Green has a real shot to miss here.
• 28:44
  He missed practice yesterday with the illness and yeah, questionable today, so
• 28:48
  I think that he definitely has a real chance to miss if he does miss,
• 28:51
  I would not be surprised to see the Rockets give I'm and Thompson another
• 28:55
  start. Played really well in the game versus Boston went for fifteen fourteen in
• 29:00
  five in thirty two minutes. Also, I don't even know what it is,
• 29:03
  but both these these twins are just like incredible rebounders. For their size.
• 29:07
  It's actually crazy. Like I remember earlier in the YEARSR. Thompson was
• 29:11
  averaging like eight nine rebounds a game when he was starting, and he's like,
• 29:14
  they're like six or five, I think, which is just crazy to
• 29:15
  think about. But yeah, this is a really really good spot for the
• 29:21
  Rockets. Obviously, the Portland defense has just been awful, especially the rim
• 29:23
  protection. Their bottom three in riom defense this year. They do a good
• 29:27
  job taking away three point shooters, So not as great of a spot for
• 29:30
  Fred van Feleiet, but the price tag is really good for him seven point
• 29:34
  four K. The matchup, Yeah, like I said, not great for
• 29:40
  three point shooters, but the Blazers have fallen all the way down to bottom
• 29:44
  six and dvpizza point guards this year, so I'm still pretty into him.
• 29:47
  He's got pretty big upside with the assist numbers as well. But my favorite
• 29:51
  play in this game, and probably my favorite center play on the slate,
• 29:53
  is Al Prinson goon in a total smash spot here, gonna go up against
• 29:57
  the one of the weakest room defense in the league, and he's just been
• 30:00
  on his hair of late. He had great games in two bad on paper
• 30:04
  matchups versus Utah and Boston went for sixty nine and fifty seven and a half
• 30:08
  DK points, so he can definitely beat up on bad matchups as as well
• 30:11
  as good ones, so he's seen his front court touches take up as well.
• 30:17
  The assist numbers have been really good for him all season long, too,
• 30:19
  averages around twenty six percent assist percentage on the season, So he's definitely
• 30:25
  my favorite option in this game. And outside of that, though, I
• 30:30
  guess Jr. Barti Smith is fine last man in five point nine k power
• 30:33
  Ford eligible. I would really just be looking to Aman Thompson as secondary guy
• 30:38
  if Jayleen Green was out, and then I have pretty much no interest.
• 30:42
  On the Blazers side, the Rockets have been a little bit more vulnerable to
• 30:45
  three point shooters in in the month of January. They're allowing the fourth most
• 30:51
  three point three pointers per game in in this month. So I guess if
• 30:55
  you want to make a case for a little game stack Anthony Simon's, Jeremy
• 30:59
  Graham Malcolm Brogden would would make a little bit of sense, but I'm not
• 31:00
  already looking to go there. Yeah, I'm not really getting to Portland either.
• 31:04
  What are your thoughts on Jordan side. If Jalen Green does play,
• 31:08
  do you have interest there? Six point two? K well ow any thoughts?
• 31:15
  Uh No, not really. I think he's just kind of fine at
• 31:19
  that price tag. He really like, he's not safe for thirty plus minutes.
• 31:23
  There's been times where they'll just go more defensive and then you know,
• 31:27
  play Aaron Holliday, Cam Win More, Aman Thompson over him. So I
• 31:32
  don't think that he's the safest option. Even in a game where they were
• 31:36
  down Fred VanVleet, he only took eighteen shots, so I don't really want
• 31:41
  to want to go there and jail Green. I think that he's just fine.
• 31:44
  Would you be good with Sengun and Van Vleet together? Yeah? I
• 31:47
  think they're both cheap enough that you could you could play both them and they
• 31:49
  could pay off. I agree, I like it. Brooks will shoot fifty
• 31:53
  times. Hey, do you think you think he'll shoot fifty times five point
• 31:57
  two? K lock him in. He might only make a couple of them,
• 32:00
  but give me fifty shot attempts any day. He's going to be very
• 32:04
  low owned on this slates. Keep it rolling. We still got a good
• 32:07
  amount of games left, and guys got took care of that, like button,
• 32:10

  well. Shut out Mayo. All right, let's keep it rolling. Next
• 32:55
  game. So I don't want to interrupt you. I forgot to mention this
• 32:59
  though I did. I did overlook that he wasn't shoot around, so he's
• 33:02
  probably in. So I guess scratch everything I said about Tom and Thompson.
• 33:07
  Hey, maybe uh maybe he is out. And then you get im and
• 33:09
  Thompson. If Jal Green's in though no interest in Iman Thompson, Cleveland Cavalier
• 33:15
  is taking on my I'll say Jordan's Milwaukee Bucks two thirty six total, Milwaukee
• 33:20
  favored by seven injury report for the Cleveland side obviously, so without Mobley Garland,
• 33:24
  Tristan Thompson, what you're doing man, he's out with the suspension.
• 33:29
  Caroselburt is questionable. On the Milwaukee side, Hey, they're fully healthy with
• 33:34
  a new man at the Helm. I don't think Doc's gonna be coaching today.
• 33:38
  The news did come out though, no Adrian Griffin, so there will
• 33:40
  be some new face there, and whoever that face is should be saying,
• 33:45
  Gianness, what do you want to do? Touch the ball, go downhill?
• 33:49
  I like me some honest today. If more value opens up like the
• 33:52
  Lukenards of the world and stuff, he's easier to get still. Levin K
• 33:57
  love him in this spot. I also love d match Man. He's harved
• 34:00
  up these Bucks. Jared Allen seven point seven K. I like the studs
• 34:04
  in this one for sure. Talking mid tier and value in this game,
• 34:07
  I definitely don't like the value like a Coro's as cheap as i'd go probably,
• 34:12
  and I'm not. If you guys know me, you know, I'm
• 34:15
  definitely not a Coro guy. But four point two K I like Strews at
• 34:19
  five to one. He can get hot guard Ford elgibility, maybe a little
• 34:22
  ownership, Not much there Middleton, I don't know, six' six not
• 34:27
  my favorite price tag when touching him. So mainly the Studs, Yanni Stimich,
• 34:30
  Jared Allen and then Streuce. What about you? Yeah, pretty interesting
• 34:37
  game if you want to get into it, pretty deep. I think you
• 34:38
  can from like a game sack perspective. The obviously the Bucks are going to
• 34:43
  be with a new head coach now so are I think it'll be the assistant
• 34:45
  coach that will be taken over until Doc Rivers is ready. But interesting to
• 34:52
  see how that works out. I mean, their defense has just been awful
• 34:53
  this year, which I'm assuming is the big reason why Adrian Griffin was fired.
• 34:59
  You know, have what like third best record in the East or something
• 35:02
  like that, because he was chirpent the NASAs it could be. I haven't
• 35:08
  seen anything about that. I know that's that's more your forte. There's been
• 35:13
  jokes and stuff. There's no way it was serious. I mean some funny
• 35:15
  ones, for sure, but no, it has to do with the defense.
• 35:17
  And Gyana said the team lost faith at like just because they're third and
• 35:21
  they're thirty and thirteen and people are wow, as a coach ever been fired
• 35:23
  for this, Like they have hoopers. I mean, you have one of
• 35:27
  the best players in the league with Like it's not because of the coach necessarily
• 35:30
  in a lot of aspects. He's probably took too much heat a different ramt
• 35:35
  like title you're better higher than Adrian Griffin. No, I mean obviously just
• 35:38
  joking all that stuff, but he's taken a lot of unnecessary heat, probably,
• 35:43
  But I do think there's better coaches out there that can make them a
• 35:45
  championship team. And in this day and age in the NBA, like you
• 35:49
  can't make any mistakes. You have to be at your best in every single
• 35:52
  spot. So I think it was the move. But I mean, we'll
• 35:54
  see how much this defense and how fast the defense does get better. I
• 35:59
  don't think it's an overnight change by any means. Yeah, I agree with
• 36:01
  that one hundred percent. I did see something like a weird interview that they
• 36:06
  did with Adrian Griffin, like talking about Chris Middleton's injury, and it's just
• 36:10
  the way that he was answering the questions was like, really weird, WEIRDO.
• 36:15
  Yeah, this is a weird, weird guy. But I'm sure he'll
• 36:17
  get another opportunity somewhere somewhere down the line. But yeah, in terms of
• 36:22
  this game, though, on paper, it's really tough matchup for the Bucks.
• 36:27
  The Cleveland Cavaliers have been one of the best defenses in the New Year.
• 36:30
  In twenty twenty four. They are first in defensive rating, second inbrim
• 36:34
  defense, and third in the least amount of three pointers allowed per game.
• 36:37
  They've been one of the best pick and roll defense in the league. Obviously
• 36:42
  great just all around defense with Jared Allen down there. Dean Wade actually underrated
• 36:49
  defender two even though he doesn't do much offensively. So on paper, it's
• 36:52
  a really tough matchup for Giannis. He's gonna get guarded by Jared Allen a
• 36:55
  lot, and like I just said, they have one of the best room
• 36:59
  defen in the league. But I think Giannas comes out extremely motivated first game
• 37:04
  with it without the old head coach, home game versus one of the best
• 37:07
  teams in the East as well a surging team too. The Cleveland's been one
• 37:10
  of the hottest teams as of late. So I think Giannis comes out firing,
• 37:15
  comes out extremely motivated, has a big game. Nothing really to add
• 37:20
  matchup wise, it's just not that great of a matchup. Don't really want
• 37:23
  to get to Damian Lillard here. This is a Luca Sorry Timber Luca though
• 37:29
  eleven K eleven three, You're not playing both unless some crazy stuff happens on
• 37:34
  this late you picking. I think I'm taking Luca. Yeah, I think
• 37:37
  I'm gonna take Luca. Yeah. Obviously these questions for those out there like
• 37:43
  Goods are all coin flips. It's very close. It's Luca is the honest
• 37:46
  any day. Those two. It's like talking Jefferson and Damn here. I'll
• 37:51
  say Pooka Nakula right now, he is the man. But all that stuff
• 37:54
  are coin flips. But I like hearing slight Leans keep going yeah and yeah,
• 38:00
  I'm not looking to get to Damian Lillard here. Bucks or the Cavs
• 38:02
  are one of the best pick and roll defense in the league, so really
• 38:05
  bad match up for him. I think Middleton, like you said, is
• 38:07
  kind of He's just fine six point six K. I think it makes sense
• 38:10
  if you wanted to get pieces in this game with it being a pretty high
• 38:15
  team sotal, you know, going somewhere like Donovan Mitchell or Jared Allen and
• 38:19
  Chris Middleton makes some sense without having to break the bank. From a salary
• 38:22
  salary standpoint, I think Brooke Lopez is awful here. He's not really looking
• 38:27
  at any ownership, but he's had double digit rebounds in two straight games and
• 38:31
  that's just not going to happen on nightley basis, which is kind of crazy
• 38:35
  for someone like him who's a center, is gonna be down low most of
• 38:38
  the game. He averages like five rebounds of game, so that I think
• 38:42
  that's just kind of an anomaly. And then on the Cavaliers side, love
• 38:46
  the match up for Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell is top nine in points per game
• 38:52
  in the league in pick and roll offense, and the Bucks are dead last
• 38:55
  in pick and roll defense, so he's got a great match up here.
• 38:59
  He's torch Milwaukee twice the season, already went for thirty four and thirty one
• 39:01
  real points for sixty one and fifty five point three DK points. The only
• 39:07
  thing to kind of keep me off of him is you do have to decide.
• 39:10
  I guess he does have shooting guard eligible, so he could get to
• 39:13
  both of them, but him or LaMelo when Lamello is one hundred dollars cheaper,
• 39:16
  I believe, yeah, And I think I just sided with LaMelo.
• 39:21
  Think his role is gonna be much better and a little bit of I mean,
• 39:24
  I guess the matchup is about equal, but I think I just sided
• 39:28
  with Lamello. I think that LaMelo's true ninety fifth, ninety ninth percentile outcomes
• 39:32
  a little bit higher than Donovan's tonight. But I do love the matchup for
• 39:37
  Donovan a lot. Same for Jared Allen. He's crushed this matchup twice already,
• 39:42
  sixty DK points in forty five DK points. I think that not having
• 39:46
  Tristan Thompson in there might be better for him. Obviously better for him because
• 39:52
  Tristan's been taking some of the backup center minutes. But I don't know how
• 39:55
  much they trust Damien Jones, and I don't think you're really gonna run and
• 40:00
  like George and Nyang or Dean Wade at the five, so they probably give
• 40:02
  Jared Allen a higher minutes floor. And yeah, it's a great matchup.
• 40:06
  He's just crushed this matchup only thing that has. He does have a little
• 40:09
  bit of downside because he will be guarding gan Us a lot, so he's
• 40:13
  got to stay out of foul trouble. But he's done a pretty good job
• 40:15
  of that all season long, so I think that he he's a great option
• 40:17
  at seven point seven K and then you have Lavert is out. I think
• 40:22
  Shrus and sam Merril could make your playerpool. I like Struce regardless. At
• 40:25
  five point one K, that's really cheap for him, and he could definitely
• 40:29
  get hot Bucks. Their defense has shifted a little bit more to three point
• 40:34
  shooting three point shooters lately, so maybe he can get going with no Lavert
• 40:37
  would not mind him, but he a pretty good game to attack. Yeah,
• 40:42
  great, right now. I don't have too much to ad and my
• 40:45
  thoughts were in the beginning, but any you mentioned briefly at the end if
• 40:47
  Lavert was out, do you have a lean on Lavert? And then you
• 40:51
  mentioned the sam Merrill people out there? You like little revenge narratives sam Merril
• 40:57
  pretty much the revenge is on the end of the bench with the bot.
• 41:00
  But he's been hooping. There's no doubt about it for Cavs. Sam Merrill
• 41:04
  was drafted by the Bat he started there. He's five point three k,
• 41:07
  though, like if you switch that three point five K, I would definitely
• 41:10
  like him. He's been hooping, he's been very efficient. I need LeVert
• 41:15
  to be out to even possibly click that name. And if he is out,
• 41:19
  I a do you have a lien am Avert? I like Shreuce regardless,
• 41:21
  I like Strews more than Meryll. Whatever way it's caught. But if
• 41:24
  he's out, do you think you said you can get to Meryll? Do
• 41:27
  you have any lien on if Lavert is out? I don't know they've been.
• 41:31
  They've been really cautious with ker Slavert. He's always has a pretty big
• 41:36
  history of injuries. It's a wrist injury, so not too sure, honestly,
• 41:40
  I don't. I only have a strong lean. I would just say
• 41:43
  it's a fifty to fifty, which doesn't really help much. But I think
• 41:45
  that if you're if you're building for him being in or out, I think
• 41:51
  Streuce's is totally fine. Five point one K is really cheap for him,
• 41:53
  So I think that only gets better if LeVert were to be out. Yeah,
• 41:58
  and Lavert's missed the past couple of games was probably true. Fifty to
• 42:00
  fifty. I like Drews regardless, even gets better if he's out. I
• 42:05
  like d Match, I like Allen, I like Giannest Middleton. Yeah,
• 42:07
  he reminds me like the derosing conversation we have, like it Wen's he actually
• 42:12
  gonna nuke me and you need him to win at six six. I think
• 42:15
  I can find others. He's not the worst play though. Terry Rogier is
• 42:20
  clear to play. Hey, Power, I've never seen this, never seen
• 42:22
  you in here, this avatar. I hope everything's going well with you,
• 42:25
  man, But a couple of people helped us out there. It was another
• 42:30
  common talent title. Looks like he went to Harvard. I mean I went
• 42:32
  to a D three school and did even get like a three to five.
• 42:35
  So that's the last place I would ever be. But hey, the blueleg
• 42:37
  glasses helping my eyes and I guess to make me look a little smart.
• 42:42
  I'll take that. A couple games left. Appreciate everyone hanging out keep saying
• 42:45
  that we really do. I'll hope everybody having a good day. Eight thirty
• 42:49
  pm, Eastern Phoenix Suns Dallas Mavericks two forty total. Phoenix is favored by
• 42:53
  two and a half. Injuries on this one, especially on the Dallas side
• 42:57
  Luca, Kyrie, Dante x Seth Curry all questionable. Powell is out.
• 43:04
  On the Phoenix side. Eric Gordon is out and he was questioning the last
• 43:07
  game. He did miss last game with the risk, so who knows about
• 43:10
  him. Not that Eric Gordon injury news needs much on the lay obviously,
• 43:15
  the Dallas stuff does. He said beginning of the show, you expect Luca
• 43:19
  to play Kyrie fifty to fifty Axum, Seth Curry don't mean much. You
• 43:23
  already said you like Luca more than ye Honest. If Kyrie is out,
• 43:27
  I mean Luca's got it. One of the more popular plays on the late
• 43:30
  people prioritize jamming him in. This game is at eight thirty Eastern, So
• 43:36
  who knows when we get this news talk if then scenarios start with Dallas and
• 43:39
  get to Phoenix. Yeah, so this is another really good game to attack
• 43:44
  from a game stack perspective, I will start with the Phoenix side because I
• 43:50
  do think that the Eric Gordon news has a little bit more implications just from
• 43:53
  the rotation standpoint, because the Suns are running super tight right now. They
• 43:58
  Frank Vogel just does not trust any of these secondary guys. I think at
• 44:01
  the deepest he wants to go into his bench is probably Drew Eubanks as a
• 44:06
  backup center. But even then, like they're they're running more Kevin Durant the
• 44:09
  five, so they're just they're going to run these guys super tight. Kevin
• 44:13
  Durant, Booker, Bradley Beal all going to be going touching near forty minutes.
• 44:17
  I think Kadie has hit forty minutes in back to back games. He's
• 44:21
  been playing well. Yeah, so if they just don't have Eric Gordon,
• 44:24
  it just tightens the rotation. I think Grayson Allen going to see a ton
• 44:28
  of minutes as well in okay matchup. But yeah, and then on the
• 44:35
  Mavericks side, I do think Luca play is it's a lower back stiffness or
• 44:38
  tightness whatever it is, which it's just probably like a fatigue thing. He's
• 44:42
  been playing a ton of minutes lately when he does play, and he's had
• 44:45
  a day off, I believe, so I think he should be fine.
• 44:47
  Kyrie a little bit more fifty to fifty. He said that he was going
• 44:51
  to play, had a pretty bad spring thumb, so he's going to be
• 44:53
  playing with a brace right now, which is probably going to be affecting his
• 44:58
  shooting to some extent. I don't really want to get there at nine K,
• 45:02
  just given that fact that he's gonna be a little bit limited from what
• 45:07
  he can do offensively. I would much rather just find the money get it
• 45:09
  to Luca. And yeah, lucas probably the top spin on the slate.
• 45:14
  The Suns have been a team to attack with opposing ball handlers all season long
• 45:16
  their bottom seven and pick and roll defense. Luca is second in points for
• 45:21
  game off pick and roll. You can get into the narratives too. Luca
• 45:23
  hates the Suns, obviously, dating back to the playoff series where he scored
• 45:29
  more points than their whole team at halftime. So I think that he is
• 45:32
  a great option eleven point three K. Nothing negative to say about the matchup
• 45:36
  for him, and yeah, I like Kevin Durant a lot. Didn't really
• 45:39
  kind of gloss over it, but he's been playing really well. They scored
• 45:43
  forty and forty three and back to back games. Matchup should be okay for
• 45:46
  him. Gonna see Derek Jones Junior and probably some Grant Williams, maybe MAXI
• 45:51
  Kleeber if they run more small ball, but he's been playing out of his
• 45:53
  mind lately, gonna be able to get to a spot whenever he can.
• 45:58
  He's been running more as a small ball five, which has been interesting.
• 46:01
  They kind of busted that out against Sacramento when he was guarding Demantus Sabonis a
• 46:07
  lot, and he's ran it more last last three games. Rebounding has ticked
• 46:10
  up, assists has been have been good as well. So I think he's
• 46:14
  a really good option at his price tag. Devin Booker as well, Gonna
• 46:16
  play a ton of minutes, would probably be Max one k D and Booker
• 46:22
  don't really want to get to Nurkic. He's losing minutes to KD as a
• 46:24
  small ball five, and I think Bradley Beal is okay as a last minute
• 46:28
  seven. K Gonna play a ton of minutes, but he he could have
• 46:31
  his hands full defensively if he's gonna be guarding Luka Dongs tonight. You don't,
• 46:37
  Kyrie, still no, not on this light. There's enough other cheap
• 46:43
  pieces to go to. I like somebody that is a little bit more.
• 46:47
  I think maybe one hundred dollars more expensive, same positional stuff in in the
• 46:52
  last game of the night, So I think I slightly lean there. I
• 46:55
  don't know. It's just kind of a little scary to to know what he's
• 47:00
  going to be limited to from an offensive standpoint with the spring thumb, because
• 47:04
  apparently it was pretty bad. He's always a tough click. I mean what
• 47:08
  I like is the minutes have been up at upper thirties as of Lade,
• 47:12
  and I mean, the dude's gonna chuck. We know that he needs a
• 47:15
  shots to fall from n hit a ceiling like forty twenty six, I ain't
• 47:19
  gonna cut it, but sixty three, seventy fifty two, sixty four fifty
• 47:22
  eight, yeah, I mean I would. I would definitely, like I
• 47:27
  have four teams in tonight, in the big one, if I would definitely
• 47:30
  max him at twenty five percent. But if I have one Kyrie team and
• 47:34
  he fits like the step below, the d Mitch, the Lamellos a little
• 47:37
  bit that mid tier Bill, I'd be fine with one Kyrie Booker KD.
• 47:42
  I like both. I like the max one rule as well, No strongly
• 47:45
  there, definitely like Luca and I like Giannis too, so kind of whatever
• 47:49
  fits positionally, is how I go about that. Beale, NRK gets Lively,
• 47:53
  Grayson. None of those guys really like, say me, so it's
• 47:57
  just the stars in this one. I max one of the Luka Kyrie,
• 48:00
  next one of k D Booker, and if any of them hit someone said
• 48:05
  Luca, and I forget who it was, like Luca and Booker stack or
• 48:08
  something like that. Sure, if you have the money and you can't get
• 48:12
  it, I don't think many in my lineups will do that. If I
• 48:14
  do stack, it would probably be Kyrie with one of Booker and KD.
• 48:17
  But I'm not going out of my way by any means. Probably, if
• 48:21
  anything comes to it, I'll just have one of those four and be good
• 48:23
  with it. Hope they put up one of the biggest scores on the slate.
• 48:28
  There was two comments. I wanted to bring a really quick one.
• 48:30
  I was waiting for this one, so Harry Potter reference wait for Jake to
• 48:35
  say something. I see, I don't know about that, so keep going.
• 48:37
  Jake is going right over my head and here we go. Lachlan mentioned
• 48:43
  this one. Yeah, I was going to bring this up. I don't
• 48:45
  think that it's the craziest thing to get onto a little bit of maxic Kleeb.
• 48:50
  He did play twenty six minutes last game, I believe versus Boston.
• 48:52
  They do like him as a small ball center, and I could definitely see
• 48:57
  his minutes get elevated here knowing that Kevin Durant is going to play some small
• 49:00
  ball five as well. Three point five K for Kleeber, he's you know,
• 49:05
  he's paid off that price tag. At times it's really gross because the
• 49:07
  floor is really low, but he's a decent shooter. Obviously, Luca and
• 49:13
  Kyri you're gonna garner most of the defensive attention, which could. We've seen
• 49:16
  some of these secondary guys perform really well fantasy wise, like Derek Jones Junior.
• 49:23
  I guess like Josh Green at times, Tim Hardaway Junior at times could
• 49:28
  step up when Luca is getting double teams or something like that. So I
• 49:30
  don't think that Kleeber is the absolute craziest value option tonight, fair enough.
• 49:37
  I mean he fits with him and Luca play together so well, like especially
• 49:43
  with how Lively is and then used to have what McGee and Powell like,
• 49:45
  the step out stretch of the court, pick and pop guy like Kaliba fits
• 49:51
  them so well. On the LUCA double teams, they have to make a
• 49:52
  choice. So three threes the last two games. If he hit some threes,
• 49:55
  I don't think it's the craziest. Probably would be more for me,
• 49:59
  Like if these Q tags, the lukenards and stuff of the world we're in
• 50:02
  and the value is kind of what we have right now, he'll be super
• 50:06
  super low owned. It's a good, good info right there. What was
• 50:09
  the name on that lockwy good infro? Another name I haven't seen. Hope.
• 50:13
  Everything going well, man. So that's six games down, two games
• 50:15
  left, but FanDuel the sleigh N's right there, So enjoy the time with
• 50:19

• 51:13
  DraftKings is offering it. DK is not nine to thirty Eastern OKC thunder
• 51:17
  San Antonio Spurs through forty two total OKC favored by eight. This is my
• 51:22
  favorite game of the night. Man, I'm super super pumped for this one.
• 51:28
  No injury news on the OKC side. Trey Jones is questionable for the
• 51:31
  Spurs. In terms of how I like this game, I mean talk about
• 51:35
  game stacking it one of or maybe even too I'll ask you this, but
• 51:39
  Sga Chat, Jalen Williams, I love all of them. On the Spurs
• 51:45
  side, Wemby even though he's on a minutes limit eight point three K.
• 51:49
  He is getting a little ownership, so I'm interested on your take there,
• 51:52
  but we know he has a ceiling in twenty five minutes. I mean,
• 51:55
  if people want the narrative of Chad, etc. I think Chad bit Wemby
• 52:00
  is very interesting in this spot. Again, I like Glen Williams of seven
• 52:04
  K. I like s G A for the a little below the Giannesses the
• 52:07
  Lucas of the world right by LaMelo d Mich. So this's where I'll throw
• 52:12
  it to you. How do you look at SGA compared to LaMelo Dnich?
• 52:15
  Very similar? Would you set any rules s G A chat Jalen Williams,
• 52:20
  I have locked them for you. Any lean on trade Jones and then Webby
• 52:23
  go for it? All right, I'll start with the injury stuff, because
• 52:27
  I think that's probably the most important trade Jones probably leaning towards being out with
• 52:32
  it being a midday down grade. It was an illness tag I believe right,
• 52:37
  uh ankle oh ankle injury, Okay, so that's even worse. Yeah,
• 52:43
  probably probably lean to him being out, which that that's a kind of
• 52:45
  interesting talking point because there's a couple of ways that the Spurs can play it.
• 52:52
  They could just bring in one of Kelden or Collins back into the starting
• 52:54
  lineup and have Jeremy Soshian run the point again, which I would get because
• 53:00
  I thought they gave up on that experiment. He's had some good games lately.
• 53:06
  But yeah, just he is not a point guard. I think he's
• 53:07
  gotta gotta stick to what he does dollar tree version, and that's not a
• 53:14
  good that's not a compliment. Yeah exactly, But he's six K. I
• 53:19
  keep talking about it. Yeah, but yeah, if Trade Jones out,
• 53:22
  I do think that so Cham becomes a little bit more viable. I think
• 53:27
  Kelvin Johnson would be a lot more viable. Five point a K is as
• 53:30
  cheap as we've seen him in a really long time. If you're using our
• 53:34
  projections, This one just pops off the page. From a game stack perspective,
• 53:37
  to see a ton of light blue values on on the solver same there's
• 53:43
  a lot of ways you can go. Collins even makes sense. Four point
• 53:45
  a K is fine just as a value option regardless of Trade Jones status.
• 53:50
  And then they could also start Blake Wesley. He's been playing a lot more
• 53:53
  lately. He's a point guard, pretty solid defender, I think that he
• 53:58
  would make some sense, would be a really good value option. Three point
• 54:00
  six K. I would like him a lot, And in terms of comparing
• 54:05
  SGA to Donovan Mitchell LaMelo Ball, I do slightly side with those guys more.
• 54:12
  It's it's close, though. I think I would probably rank SGA two,
• 54:15
  Donovan Mitchell three, and then LaMelo one. This is a great matchup
• 54:19
  for SJA. Obviously, he's been just on fire all season long, one
• 54:21
  of the better and most consistent scores in the NBA right now. The Spurs,
• 54:28
  surprisingly having Wenby down low, have not They've given up a good amount
• 54:31
  of rim points, their room defense not been that great. I think Chet
• 54:35
  is capable of pulling Wenby away from the basket enough to clear away some scoring
• 54:40
  lanes for SGA, So he is a totally fine option. Ten point one
• 54:44
  K showed huge, huge upside last game in the win over Portland, got
• 54:51
  a double double sixty five DK points, so he's he's a totally fine option.
• 54:53
  But I do lean LaMelo Ball a little bit more. Chet makes a
• 54:58
  ton of sense as well, So point three K really cheap for him.
• 55:00
  He's not really playing big minutes right now. Just gonna see round thirty thirty
• 55:05
  two minutes a game. Shot volume has been been down a little bit,
• 55:08
  but maybe he comes out a little bit more motivated. Goot against wemb tonight
• 55:12
  in the race for the Rookie of the Year. I think that, Yeah,
• 55:16
  I think that he's just okay. I like some of these center better.
• 55:19
  I like Duran for cheaper, I like Sengoon for a little bit more
• 55:22
  expensive. I like Jayn Willims here a lot. Here. There was some
• 55:28
  speculation that Sja might sit tonight, just with it being a back to back.
• 55:31
  I don't think that he's gonna sit, but if he if he does
• 55:36
  surprisingly get rolled out, then Jay Wims is gonna see a huge upside or
• 55:39
  uptick in his usage rate. Has a thirty percent usage rate with Sja off
• 55:44
  the court the season. He's been playing extremely well lately. Two seven K
• 55:46
  is a really good price sect for him. I like him a ton.
• 55:50
  I think he gets to any one of these guys. I think you're totally
• 55:52
  fine get into two of them. Would probably want some spurs coming back in
• 55:57
  that scenario, but I think you'll if you're using our projections, you're gonna
• 55:59
  get to some of them anyways. Just with how well they project, and
• 56:02
  yeah, Wemby is one of the best players on slate tonight. In my
• 56:06
  opinion, A point three K way too cheap for him. Minutes limit kind
• 56:09
  of lifted a little bit seeing twenty eight minutes in a couple of games in
• 56:14
  a row. Now back to back games twenty eight minutes twenty seven plus and
• 56:17
  four straight games. He has an elite usager rate the season, kind of
• 56:22
  on par with Mbid Jokich Luca type usage. So he's just been He's been
• 56:27
  crushing lately, so I think that he he did get shut down the only
• 56:30
  time that these teams met or there in the season. He only went for
• 56:32
  thirty DK points in twenty eight minutes, but that was, you know,
• 56:36
  eleven games into the season mid November. He's kind of running into form right
• 56:39
  now, so I think that he is a great option tonight. And then
• 56:44
  all these secondary guys are totally fine as well. Den Fasel much better if
• 56:49
  Trade Jones were to be out, but he's kind of fine as the last
• 56:51
  man in six point eight K or game stack. And then he already mentioned
• 56:53
  Sochin and Keldon Johnson, Zach Collins, those type of guys. Yeah,
• 56:58
  I will say as much as I just on SoC Socian. If if Trade
• 57:02
  Jones is out, and if especially if he was running the point and they
• 57:06
  didn't go like Wesley or Brandham or whatever, I would have some interest.
• 57:09
  It wouldn't be no lock, it wouldn't be anything like that, but he
• 57:13
  would if if you saw him in one of my four teams or something like
• 57:15
  that, I think he'd be fine. I think Kelden would be fine at
• 57:19
  five eight. I think Besill would be fine at six to eight. All
• 57:22
  those guys I want Trade Jones to be out. I don't think they're the
• 57:24
  craziest plays now, but man, it's an eight game slay. Like,
• 57:28
  there's so many other spots in the mid six k's that I'd rather i'd Max
• 57:31
  one of them, but it trays out. I think all of them are
• 57:35
  in play. I still don't want to go crazy on him. Wenby definitely
• 57:38
  love and I do like your shout on Max two Sga Chet Jalen Williams and
• 57:43
  if you do have two, probably have a spur. I like That's kind
• 57:45
  of how I'm going to be approaching it as well. So great breakdown there.
• 57:50
  We got one game left on the slate that was at nine thirty eastern.
• 57:52
  This is ten eastern. That was cracking me up. I'm glad you
• 57:55
  clicked that bores DL. I haven't heard that same or still could at least
• 58:00
  shoot the rock a little bit. That was back well with Monte Ellis in
• 58:04
  the day, back in the Bay and stuff. Montellis one of my favorite
• 58:07
  players out there. Well he was. He was a hooper. He was
• 58:08
  funnyoper back then. All my buddies love the Brandon Jennings era. When Monte
• 58:14
  Allis came, I was Jennings. That's Ellis got on the Monte train.
• 58:20
  I don't know if you saw it. I probably quoted on Twitter. It
• 58:22
  might be like eight months ago at this point, but he was at the
• 58:24
  wreck or somewhere hooping. They're just doing the one on one like you get
• 58:29
  it from the elbow or the wing. At the three three dribbles, bro
• 58:32
  went like eleven eleven in a row, but no one was stopping them.
• 58:36
  They were hoopers too. He was going to get that Jennings. It was
• 58:39
  Brandon Jennings. I mean they would both be doing the same thing, but
• 58:44
  hooper Jennings was. He was fun to watch and uh for your bucks back
• 58:47
  when he was a rookie hat that he doesn't still have the rookie record for
• 58:51
  most points in the game, does he. I don't know that. Fifty
• 58:53
  five or fifty yeah, fifty five. I don't know if he does though.
• 59:00
  Yeah, it was Ooper. The Bucks were earthsinal Lyasova a lot in
• 59:04
  Carlos Delfino. You can be naming all the names back in the day,
• 59:07
  and we got Barbosa Andrea. Yeah, I remember him back in the day.
• 59:14
  What a what a goon squad? Those guys say that Baron Davis.
• 59:15
  All right, let's keep it wrong. We got one game left on the
• 59:19
  sligh very very important game as well. Atlanta Hawks Golden State Warriors two thirty
• 59:24
  five total, Golden State favored by six. Why it's important, especially on
• 59:29
  the Atlanta side. Trey Young and DeAndre Hunter are out. Bruno Fernando's questionable.
• 59:34
  That doesn't mean much without Trey Young. I'll get to these Hawks.
• 59:37
  They're definitely popular right now, and that means that you're gonna have probably some
• 59:40
  roster flexibility if, like in this last game, as she were to randomly
• 59:45
  be ruled out or something like that, I'm gonna have a lot of spots
• 59:49
  on my teams due to the Hawks Golden State side, CP three still out,
• 59:52
  Gary Payton still out, Moody still out, and then Pods is questionable
• 59:57
  with an illness Hawks. Who's gonna be popular? Bogdan mcdonovitch very popular,
• 1:00:01
  to Jontay Murray very popular. Then like the Sadik Bays, the kong Mos,
• 1:00:07
  Jalen Johnson, I think they all get a little bit of ownership,
• 1:00:10
  but to Jonte and Bogdan definitely my favorites. On the warrior side, I
• 1:00:15
  don't know, does pods do anything for you? Like Steph and Clay.
• 1:00:21
  I definitely want to be max won these guys if I'm already playing a bunch
• 1:00:22
  of Hawks, Like we know, Steph and Clay can put up twenty five
• 1:00:27
  threes if they're feeling it early and they have that ceiling, So I don't
• 1:00:30
  want to say anything negative about him early nine point one K like in that
• 1:00:35
  Kyrie, you definitely like Steph more than Kyrie. I take it. So
• 1:00:37
  I'll just throw this one over to you. Any groupings you'd make away any
• 1:00:42
  how many Hawks or too many? Any lean on pods Q take Yeah,
• 1:00:45
  you definitely hit it. And Steph was the guy that I prefer over Kyries,
• 1:00:50
  and this is just such a good matchup for this Warriors team. The
• 1:00:52
  Hawks have been one of the worst defenses all year long. Bottom five d
• 1:00:57
  rating, bottom two rim defense, bottom eight three point defense, bottom three
• 1:01:00
  transition defense. I mean they oh, they've got the news pods in so
• 1:01:02
  you don't got to worry about that one faith, But yeah, this hok,
• 1:01:07
  this Hawks team is just they're a train wreck. They're so bad defensively.
• 1:01:10
  I think that somebody on this Warrior's side, I'm gonna lean Steph.
• 1:01:15
  I think that he has a really good game tonight coming in with I mean,
• 1:01:17
  I'm seeing like one to four percent ownership on him. It's not like
• 1:01:22
  Kyrie is much higher owned, but just one for one pivot. I do
• 1:01:27
  prefer step one hundred dollars more in a really good game environment. And I
• 1:01:32
  think that, like even Clay makes some sense. Six point three, k
• 1:01:36
  has been shooting the ball much better, a little bit, I guess,
• 1:01:38
  a little bit less upside with pods in there, but he's been playing much
• 1:01:43
  better lately. This is the first game that the Warriors will be playing since
• 1:01:46
  the passing of their assistant coach, so I'm sure that they're gonna, you
• 1:01:51
  know, match up aside, they're gonna come out wanting to win this one
• 1:01:54
  for him, which they definitely have a good chance to with them being six
• 1:01:59
  and a half point fives. But yeah, all these secondary guys are kind
• 1:02:02
  of just I think they're okay, like maybe pivots off of some of the
• 1:02:07
  Hawks chalk like Kaminga, Eh, he's okay, five point nine k Draymond.
• 1:02:14
  I think I have a little bit more interested in Draymond than Kaminga or
• 1:02:15
  sorrych here, just because he's had a few days off, made his return.
• 1:02:20
  Last game played, it only played like twenty twenty four minutes, so
• 1:02:25
  maybe he gets up to twenty eight to thirty and I think he can pay
• 1:02:29
  off the price side there. The Hawks are one of the worst teams to
• 1:02:31
  opposing power forwards, so he makes some sense outside that, though not really
• 1:02:37
  interested in any of the other guys. Sorry, just projecting pretty well,
• 1:02:38
  So I think he's okay. But yeah, that's that's about it on the
• 1:02:43
  Warrior side. And then on the Hawks side. Yeah, big big talk
• 1:02:45
  of the slate obviously, Deshohnston Murray gonna handle all the usage that he can
• 1:02:50
  for the Hawks as long as they're able to keep this game close with no
• 1:02:52
  Tree Young. Four games with out Trey this season, He's went for sixty
• 1:02:55
  one, forty eight point three, thirty nine and a half and sixty point
• 1:02:59
  three DK points in those four games. He's had just an elite role without
• 1:03:04
  Trey Young on the court of the season, has like a Luca Embiid like
• 1:03:07
  usage number and averages forty six d K points per thirty six minutes about a
• 1:03:13
  neutral matchup, the Warriors do lack some on ball defenders. I think that
• 1:03:16
  he could get going in multiple ways. Obviously, he has a good rebounding
• 1:03:20
  and assists upside as well triple double upside, So he's a great, great
• 1:03:23
  option for eight point four K. One of my favorite players. I always
• 1:03:29
  am looking for an opportunity to play him, so I'll definitely have a lot
• 1:03:30
  of him tonight. Jalalen Johnson, it seems like a lot of his upside
• 1:03:35
  is tied to Trey Young. We have seen, you know, power forwards
• 1:03:38
  and centers like Clint Capella kind of have a lot of their upside tied to
• 1:03:42
  Trey just with the pick and roll stuff. Jalen Johnson has not been all
• 1:03:45
  that great in the games without Tray this season. He has scored no more
• 1:03:49
  than thirty DK points in all three games without Trey. Projecting really well though,
• 1:03:53
  so I'll just side with the Boomer's projections and play some of him bogged
• 1:03:59
  on kind of the same story. He has not played that well, Leiley
• 1:04:01
  hasn't. He's only top twenty seven DK points once in four games without Trey,
• 1:04:05
  where he went for almost thirty seven against Philly. I don't really have
• 1:04:12
  much to say. He's kind of it's a little volatile for me. Projecting
• 1:04:16
  obviously great, but he last four games twenty three, twenty two and a
• 1:04:19
  half twenty four to twenty six and a half DK points when normally he's somebody
• 1:04:24
  you look to attack when either one of the de John Say Murray or Tree
• 1:04:27
  younger out. He just has not played all that well. He's not shooting
• 1:04:30
  the ball terribly. Two for a, one for six, three for seven
• 1:04:33
  from d three for eight, one for six. I think a lot of
• 1:04:36
  that's happened, like if a couple of shots fall, he'll get there.
• 1:04:40
  But like you said, at Chalk, a guy that is relying on shooting,
• 1:04:44
  which is pretty much in most variance that comes with the spart at NBA.
• 1:04:46
  Yeah, it makes sense actually getting away from chalk Chalkoga. Yeah.
• 1:04:51
  And then on the flip side, like you said, shooting is it is
• 1:04:55
  the variant part of the game. So that could come back at any any
• 1:04:59
  game pretty much. He could definitely, you know, if he makes two
• 1:05:02
  or three more of those three pointers you're looking at, you know, thirty
• 1:05:05
  plus DK points or whatever it is. So don't want to talk anybody into
• 1:05:11
  full fading him because he projects amazingly and rightfully. So with no Tree Young
• 1:05:15
  the guy that I do, I probably will be fading though. Cideik Bay,
• 1:05:18
  he's just he's shot the ball terribly, and not just I don't want
• 1:05:21
  to look at recent game logs, but like over the past month or so,
• 1:05:26
  he has like a thirty true shooting percentage or something like that, maybe
• 1:05:29
  not true shooting but a field goal percentage. He's just shot the ball terribly.
• 1:05:32
  He had a little bit of a bounce back game versus Sacramento thirteen points,
• 1:05:38
  seven rebounds, I got twenty five DK points. But that's just that's
• 1:05:41
  not gonna get it done for you. So I would look to get away
• 1:05:43
  from Sidik Bay if I can. Yeah, I think that's pretty much it.
• 1:05:47
  I think akong Wu is okay to keep in in your playpool. He's
• 1:05:50
  shown pretty big upside coming off the bench. Yeah, if there was any
• 1:05:55
  game whereas the thoughts on full sacking this game, if there's one game on
• 1:05:59
  the slate II to pay gets definitely this side because so many Hawks options and
• 1:06:02
  a lot of them aren't expensive, and then it's easy on going safe for
• 1:06:06
  me, like one with Clay or Steph, and I'm hoping that they could
• 1:06:10
  just get hot, like real lean Steph. STEP's obviously the better player.
• 1:06:14
  You are paying almost three thousand more. But if Clay hit my team,
• 1:06:18
  like I Clay and Middleton like I look at him very similar where man most
• 1:06:23
  times than not, they're not doing shit for you. They both need to
• 1:06:26
  really hit shots to get there. But I just feel better with Clay because
• 1:06:30
  like what only a couple of games ago you put up twenty five threes,
• 1:06:32
  Like if he starts early and he gets hot, those dudes are just looking
• 1:06:35
  at him NonStop. All the actions work in for Clay. At least you
• 1:06:41
  have that out if he gets hot early and you know he'll chuck. But
• 1:06:44
  any thoughts on that, like comparing the Middleton. I don't love Clay,
• 1:06:46
  but if he falls in one of one of my four teams, maybe even
• 1:06:50
  two of my four, you at least know he's got that sixty point up
• 1:06:54
  side. Last game of the night you're watching everyone's asleep PMR is now actually
• 1:06:59
  today, it would definitely won't be down, but he's not gonna be high
• 1:07:01
  on until what are your thoughts the game stack and just final thoughts on this,
• 1:07:04
  like talking in circles Now, yeah, I think I think you could
• 1:07:10
  definitely game stack this one. Then we've talked about it before. When you
• 1:07:13
  have a lot of chalk forming on a team, really it makes sense to
• 1:07:18
  to kind of get into the game as a full stack and kind of,
• 1:07:23
  I guess give your lineup more chance for upside because if you're playing like you
• 1:07:27
  realistically could play Dejonte, bogged On and Sadik Bay in a lineup and you're
• 1:07:32
  really not spending that much salary, but then you have to hit you know
• 1:07:36
  what, five other spots. I would rather just if you think that all
• 1:07:40
  these guys are going to pay off their price tags, the most likely way
• 1:07:43
  they're going to do that is in a close game where they're all seeing you
• 1:07:45
  know, upper thirties minutes or something like that, and in that case,
• 1:07:49
  something on the other side is probably keeping the game close. I would probably
• 1:07:53
  want to have a warrior on the other side. If you're playing all three
• 1:07:56
  of those guys, maybe even make a boost. If you're playing two of
• 1:08:00
  them, like de jont Jaylen Johnson bogged on SADIK. If you have two
• 1:08:02
  of those, boost tray or boost Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond.
• 1:08:09
  Sorry, guys like that, man, I was talking there was I was.
• 1:08:16
  I was on a roll hour ten through, we were wrapping up the
• 1:08:19
  show, and I catch myself on and I wouldn't even have known if it
• 1:08:21
  didn't pop up saying you are muted a games though again six games on fandle.
• 1:08:27
  That OKC Spurs Atlanta Warriors game is not on Fandel, just on DK.
• 1:08:31
  Obviously we talked on it because of DK Vandel content up, DK content
