• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Fall. System's going on? Clear the lifting?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: What is going on?
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Ship it Nation YouTube station. We are back on another
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: edition of the NBA Show. We are a little bit late.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I'm filling in for my guy Matt, But as always,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I got my guy Hebrew Cheetah with me, mister one
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: hundred K in the baseball streets. But Hebrew Cheetah. Sorry
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I was late. I'll bring you right in. What's going on? Man?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Happy when day? Happy?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: NBA seven games slate on the day.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Oh no, you weren't late at all. You're filling in,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: so I appreciate you jumping on here last minute. Matt
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: dealing with some East Coast storms, so WiFi a little shot.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: He didn't want to have another situation like I believe
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: was last Friday.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: You guys were on the show.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: He was jumping in and out. I would have jumped
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: on that day, but I was at a coffee shop.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Didn't want to annoy all the people around me. Weeah,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: I appreciate you jumping on. We do have a pretty
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: strict deadline to get out of here at well, pretty
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: much in like forty five minutes, because Ham has some
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: stuff to get to. So we'll I think we should
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: just jump right in.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was jumped right in.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: My boy Andrew Martinez throwing shots, and he says, old
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: man Ham is taking a nap, and he just suck
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: up from his nap. Now we're here there, we're gonna
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: get right into it. We're gonna skip the skip is
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: saying hello to everybody. But we certainly appreciate everybody that's
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: in chat.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Sorry, we're going on twenty minutes late. But the first
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: game up on the docket is gonna be those seventy
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: six ers taking on the Wizards. We know we love
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: targeting centers. It's the Washington Wizards. But no Joel Embiid tonight,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: no PG. No, I'm sorry, Keyshawn George. PG thirteen is
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: gonna be playing. But a lot of a lot of
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the the Washington guys are out. And then, like I said,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Embiid will be out for the Sixers.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Is the main one.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Talk me through this one Rio Philly at Washington.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, obviously it's six there's going to be in a
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: good spot here. No Embiid will condense the usage a
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: little bit. We've seen edgecumb kind of be the guy
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: that gets taken out a little bit when Embiid is playing,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: so I expect his usage to come up a little bit.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: The main concern with playing these Phillies guys is just
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: if the Wizards can hang around long enough for them
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: to get full run. I think there's a small chance
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: because Phillies' defense is not that great and Wizard's offense
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: has been a little bit better as of late. They
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: do have ten healthy bodies tonight, so they'll be able
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: to spread out their rotation. I don't really see anything
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: on the on the Wizard side of things that is
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: standing out as players I really want to get to.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's like two guys maybe, and that
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: would be Anthony Gill and Trey Johnson are the two
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: guys I'm really considering. But I think more often than not,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: you're probably better just Excell's team out or being like
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: a max one to two situation sixers obviously look really good.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I'm curious see what they do.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: With the starting lineup because I don't think that there's
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: a guarantee that they're going to one of a Damn
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Bona or Andre Drummond. I feel like they would rather
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: give those minutes to like Kelly Ubray, and this is
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: definitely a team that you can go smaller against. I
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if they shift Barlow up, shift Paul
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: George down one, and then go with like Ubre or
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Grimes in the starting lineup. But if it is one
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: of Bona or Drummond, I think you gotta have consideration
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: to those guys, because, like you said, Wizards have been
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: a team you want to attack with opposing bigs. There's
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: still one of the worst room defense in the NBA,
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: the worst rebounding team. So I could see one of
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: these guys going for like a double double and inlimited
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: playing time.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So definitely of interest there.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: If Bona or Drummond start, I think you'd want to
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: get a good amount of exposure to both of them.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: And then obviously MAXI going to be in a good
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: spot here. He's ten k averaging just under forty seven
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: DK points per game versus Balal Kulibali over the last
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: three seasons, did go for sixty one against them earlier
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: this year. I feel like his minutes are probably close
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: to full. He's probably playing like thirty six to thirty eight.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Been playing above forty in each of the last two games,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: and those were regulation minutes as well, so I think
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: that he's still pretty full here tonight. I could see
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Paul George being the guy that does have his minutes
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: cuts down a little bit just because he is one
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: of the older guys in the team, but obviously it's
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: a great matchup for him. The usage has been really
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: good since returning. I like VJ Edgecomb here though. I
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: think it's a good spot for him against an awful
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: transition defense, and with him beat out, like I said,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: he's the guy that does kind of see his usage
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: bounce back in a pretty big way. So I think
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: there's a ton of upside for the trio of Maxi,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Edgecomb and George. But I'm gonna lean Maxi and VJ tonight,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: and then I think you definitely should be keeping guys
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: like Grimes and Kelly Houbray in the start or in
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: the playpool because they'll have success here as well.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, excellent stuff there. Like what you said about it
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: stepping his game up. When in beats out, ustage goes
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: up a little bit, so excellent stuff there. Moving on
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: to the next game should be a pretty good game.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: So two and a half points spread through two hundred
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: and thirty four and a half point total got the
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Hawks two and a half points favorites taking on the Magic.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I think the big news in this one rio was
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: that Franz Wagner is questionable, So I don't know if
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: you've heard any news on him recently.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: He's been out for quite some time.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: And then the only big injury news on the other
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: side is Jack Landell as questionable as well. He's been playing.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: He plays well at times, especially when he's in the lineup.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: But talk to me a little bit about this game
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Hawks at the Magic and any updates on France that
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: you have.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen much, but for like, the upgrade is
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: obviously good for his availability tonight, and I do think
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: that he plays because this is actually a really big
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: game for the Eastern Conference. The Hawks are three games
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: up on the Magic, and that like five through eight
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: range I believe is really tight. I just want to
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: pull up the standings real quick before confirming that, Yeah,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: five through five through ten pretty much is all. All
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: these teams are within three to two games of each other,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: so Orlando trying to stay in that seven to eight range.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: So I definitely think that they're going to be We're
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: gonna be seeing playoff like rotations here for both of
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: these teams.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I guess the Jock.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: News is pretty big because we have seen a Coong
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Wu has minutes to come up a ton and the
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: games that Jock miss, so I think that he's kind
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: of like a sneaky option if Landa were to miss.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: But matchup wise, I think that the Hawks are in
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: a pretty good spot here. They've been playing really good
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: defense as of late, minus the Riom defense being like
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: their main issue, which is not a super big deal
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: because it's kind of there kind of by design, but
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: the Magic have been kind of getting beat.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Up all over the place as of late.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: They're allowing more threes, allowing more transition scoring. The Riom
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: defense is not great by any means. I think that
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: guys like Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels are set up
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: for success here. But I also think that Niki Alexander
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Walker looks pretty good here. The last time that he
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: faced off against Orlando went nine for fourteen deep and
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: that was kind of the snowball game that really started
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: this downward trend for the Magic. Defensively, a little bit
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: tougher to know if he's going to be able to
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: repeat that type of performance because three point shooting is
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: so highly variant. But I do think that he's in
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: a good spot here. I like Jalen Johnson has a
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: spin up tonight. He had a huge game against the
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Magic the last time these teams faced off, went for
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: twenty four fifteen thirteen sixty seven DK points. I would
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: take that all day on this type of slate. I
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: think that the price coming down a little bit is
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: good for him. Franz coming back maybe hurts his matchup
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: a little bit, but I would expect a pretty strict
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: minutes restriction on Franz and he probably is coming off
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: the bench to start anyways. So I think Jalen pretty
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: good regardless. And then, like I said for Dyson, good
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: that Orlando has been kind of getting beat up in transition,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: but teams are also kind of daring him to shoot
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: more threes, and he's been a little bit more willing
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: to and making more than he was earlier the season.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: So I do think that he has some upside matchups good,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: but just it's kind of like the same thing for Naw.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: It's highly variant if he's gonna be making his shots
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: because he's actually just not a good three point shooter.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I like the matchup for CJ like guards picking roll
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: heavy guys against the Magic, but just seems like he's
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: kind of the odd man now when it comes to
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: usage and the overall upside on this team. And then,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: like I said, with the Congo, I think that you
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: could definitely look to him if Jock were to miss.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: But yeah, the starting five for Atlanta definitely in play here.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: And then for Orlando, they got a much need to
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: win last night after kind of trending down as of late,
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: and this is a really big game, so I think
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: that the guys, the main starting five for them will
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: be playing a ton. Think Polo you gotta be considering
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: him tonight nine point four K, even with Franz back,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: I feel like he's gonna be okay.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I think Baine same thing.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I probably would be looking to follow and Baine over
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Suggs just because Suggs is a guy they don't really
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: like to push up a ton in back to backs
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: and he did play thirty eight minutes last night. So
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: I'm leaning more Polo and Baine tonight than Suggs. And
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I don't think that Franz is in play at all
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: at seven point five K Wendell Carr Junior. It's not
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: sure there's enough upside for him there. Don't really love
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: playing him, and then De Silva will be for sure impacted.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: From a minute standpoint with Franz returning, Yeah.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Good stuff there.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you about from would you just
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: answer that question. We currently got to miss it as
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: twenty three minutes, first game back in two months. It
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: be tough for him to get up there. Seventy seventy
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: five is too much, too much to pay for him.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Absolutely moving on to the next game should be another
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: decent game. I think you got the Celtics taking on
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: the heat. Norm Powell gonna miss this one. Andrew Wiggins
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: for Miami. I think he got midday upgrade to probable,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: so I think Wiggans should be in. Still no voots
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: for the Celtics, he's been out for quite some time.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: But you got JB and Tatum in this game. You
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: got at a Bio, you got Tyler Hero with some
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: big shots of the night obviously, Derek White, Peyton Pritchett.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: The list goes on and on for both of these teams.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: But talk to me a little bit about this game.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I'm interest to see what's your interest is in this one.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Definitely interested in this one. I think that there's a lot.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Of offensive firepower from both teams that could provide us
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: with some pretty big fantasy scores. Should be a lot
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: of fun. Both teams pretty much at full strength minus
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Norm Powell being out for the heat. I guess it's
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: a semi big game for both teams. Like I said,
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: for Miami, they're definitely gonna be ramping their guys minutes
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: up a ton with the Eastern Conference race and that
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: five to ten range cheating up. And then for the Celtics,
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: they're trying to hold on to that top two seed.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Knicks are two games back on them.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: They should be able to get a win tonight against Memphis,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: and then the Cavs lost last night. So I feel
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: like it's basically between the Celtics and the Knicks for
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: that two seed, and that it makes a huge difference
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: for sure. So I think both these teams will be
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: playing these this game highly competitively. Minutes will be up
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: there for them, and I think that the Celtics do
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: match up pretty well against Miami. The Miami's been a
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: little bit worse with their rim defense as of late,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: but they still the style of defense that they play.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: They it kind of lends itself to more three pointers
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: for opposing teams. They did really well at controlling the
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: pace against Philly, but I think the Celtics should have
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: the edge there. Celtics have done really well against Miami
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: the season. I've had a one nineteen and a half
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: offensive rating versus the heat. They've averaged fourteen point seven
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: made threes per game. So guys like, I mean, really,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: you're considering four guys and that's Brown, Tatum, White, and Pritchard.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I think all these guys for sure.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Have upside to their matchups here. I want to get
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: overweight to this entire group because I do think that
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: there's a good chance of one of these guys posting
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: a tournament winning score from this group, and Brown and
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Tatum are the clearest options. I think I've probably leaned
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Tatum tonight at eight point ak just like what I've
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: seen from him. Minutes should be solid to saw Hi
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: gifts like thirty five a few games ago, so I
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: think that he's getting fully unleashed now, no more minutes restriction.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Jyalen Brown's done great against Miami the season, so no
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: issues there. And then I do think that White and
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Pritchard are interesting at near to single digit ownership. White
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: is a guy that I've liked picking on or going
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: to against Miami because he matched up really well against them,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: went for sixty DK points against them in the first
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: game and then forty four point three in the most
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: recent one and sandwich in between. That is a twenty
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: six point outing. He's also shooting the ball really poorly
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: right now, so I'm a little bit worried about the
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: form that he's in. Peyton Pritchard definitely playing much better,
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: but I think Tatum returning will definitely impact his upside
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: a little bit. But I'm in on all four of
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: those guys. Then, Kita don't like the matchup for him,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: but he does project as a positive value solved keep
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: him in the playerpool, but I think that if he's
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: gonna be Chalky, I'd rather get away from that because
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: it's a really bad matchup for him. As for the Heat,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: I do think that their offense could struggle a little
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: struggle a little bit here because Boston does have such
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: great rint protection and they are above average at limiting
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: transition scoring so you're gonna need to lean on your
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: three point shooting, which is kind of the way that
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: you beat Boston, but being without Norman Powell, I think
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: should hurt them in that area. I think you're gonna
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: need guys like Hero and Pelly Larson and Andrew Wiggins.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Hemyhawks are gonna need to step up for sure in
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: a big way. Hero did have a decent game against
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Boston earlier this season, went for twenty two points. Didn't
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: really add much to the peripherals, but thirty eight and
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: a half DK points pretty solid considering I think he
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: only had like two rebounds and two assists in that one,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: and then Bam has not top thirty seven DK points
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: versus Boston this year. Kind of take that with the
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Granshal because he's playing really well right now and Spoltsh
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: has really been leaning into him heavily on offense. Keeps
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: talking about how he's in good shape. Playing in forty
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: plus regulation minutes is really good. So I think that
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: he's for sure in play. We saw him have a
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: great game against the Sixers the other night, but it
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: is a tougher matchup. And then I do like Wiggins, Homi,
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Hawkers and Pelly Larson for sure. I think all these
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: guys have shown plenty of upside at their price tags.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: But I think I'm gonna lean Wiggins of the three
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: because he has been playing a lot more minutes and
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: matches up pretty well here as the best three point
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: shooter of that bunch.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, excellent stuff there.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Just looking at Hero seventy, that's pretty good. Yeah, but
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I like your break break down on the Celtics. Looking
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: forward to watching this one for sure. Next game, Rio,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be interested in watching this one though.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: You got the Knicks taking on the Rizzlies, who have
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: officially melt it in. They melt it in a long
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: long time ago.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Talked to me through this game.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: You know, you got Memphis with pretty much everybody is
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: going to be missing Todd Jerome was kind of the
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: one that we were holding out on.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: He's going to be out.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: But kat is in Brunson I believe is questionable unless
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: he's got upgraded since our last looks about an hour ago.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: But talk to me about this one. You got the
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Knicks fourteen and a half point favorites taking on the Grizzlies.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously a great bounce back spot for the Knicks
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: lost to Houston last night. They ruled out Duce McBride
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: and Mitchell Robinson, and then Jalen Brunson is questionable. So
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: we'd be getting a very very strong form of value
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: in Josel Varado, assuming that he would start, and I
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: think that he would start. But yeah, I mean, the
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Grizzlies have been a team that you just wanted to
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: attack every time that they're on a slate. They don't
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: really have any good defenders right now. They're small, they
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: are dead last in rebounding in the past month, bottom
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: two in rim defense. Obviously all around, a really good
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: spot for the Knicks here. I think kat is a
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: very strong spin up option. I have no doubt that
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: the Knicks PLoP success here. But if it's a situation
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: where they're up are like twenty going into the fourth,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: I do worry a little bit about the minutes being
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: cut in a pretty big way. But they do need
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: to bounce back here, so there's a chance that they
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: just kind of run their guys normal minutes. I actually
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: want to I'm gonna let you talking a little bit,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: and I just want to check the schedule for them.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I think that I do prefer Kat over brunts,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: and I just think that there is a spot where
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Kat could have a ton of success. Power forward eligibility
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: is huge, Like, I think there's a range of outcomes
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: where he goes for forty real points in this game
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: just has such a small front court there on the
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Memphis side of things. I'm really into Cat tonight, especially
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: if Brunton would to miss, Like Best spent up on
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: the slate by a wide margin, and then Heart, O,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: G and Bridge is always in play. But there's a
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: lot of really strong value tonights. I think it's gonna
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: be more of a stars and scrub slate, which means
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: that these guys in the mid tier will get a
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: little bit overlooked. But yeah, I mean great spot for them.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Hard is the guy that I would prefer here, just
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: with the room defense being poor, and if Brunton were
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: to miss, you could see him really fill up the
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: stat sheet tonight. So I like Heart the most, then
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: probably Og and then Michale just mckail not really doing
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: enough to be in consideration for me. And then like
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I said, if Brunton missed, Jose Evaratto, what's he priced
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: even check?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's gonna there's a lot of really
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: strong value in Indie and then probably Toronto, Milwaukee and
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: even Chicago. Like, there's a lot of a lot of
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: value Tonight's I would I don't know if I would
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: say he's a lock, but he's he would be very strong. Yeah,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: he had a really good game in the first time
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: the field in for Brunson. For the Memphis side of things,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: they have eleven guys that are available tonight, so kind
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: of the magic number in terms of fading this team.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: I kind of always say, like, same thing with the Wizards,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: same thing with like Utah, these teams that are tanking,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: it's got to be a max one to two. Probably
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: gonna be going to and Cam Spencer. Again, this is
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Dureau and Tyler Tyler Burden. I believe their last game
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: on their ten day and they can't sign another one.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: So maybe they play these guys thirty plus minutes here,
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: but they have a lot of bodies they just signed
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: somebody else. So yeah, I don't really expect anybody to
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: get above thirty tonight. It's probably a game where everybody's
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: in like the mid twenties.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you bring up a good point.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you're going to look at that schedule,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: But I mean, but the last the last day, so
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: I guess the options are either let them walk or
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: sign them to I'll call it a long term deal,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: but have to sign them for the rest of the season.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know about forty points for cats a lot.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I was thinking more like twenty twenty something like that,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: where he just gets so many boards and pours in
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: the points and sits out the fourth as well. But yeah,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: what do you do you know, like after their second
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: ten days up?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: What like, what are the options?
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I think you have to sign a full contract, like
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: maybe like a multi year deal.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I actually don't know.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: There's probably people in our chat that know better about
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: that type of stuff, but I don't. Yeah, I don't
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: think you're allowed to sign a third ten day, so
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: these guys will probably just be They probably just won't
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: sign them again. But yeah, Nicks have a pretty favorable
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: schedule coming up this week.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: They play.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Chicago on Friday, It's another game that they should win,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: and then they get two days off and the next
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Monday they play at Atlanta, So their guys should be
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: well arrested going into that game versus Atlanta.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what about I know you mentioned Spencer, but I
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: mean he's kind of like I would say, the most
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: regular dude there, Like, do you do you would you
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: pay for Cam Spencer at forty And I know you
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: mentioned him briefly, but like if you were playing at Grizzly,
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: is he your favorite one?
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: It's probably Duroy.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: But I don't really think that you will need.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: These guys tonight because, like I said, like Indy, we're
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: gonna talk about in a second, Toronto could probably open
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: up a lot of value like Milwaukee, There's gonna be
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: a lot of really good, cheap value tonight.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, we'll move on to the next game.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: We got the Kings, we have taken on the Raptors.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: You just talked a little bit about the uh about
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: the value for Toronto you're gonna get tonight. And that
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: is because Scottie Barnes is listed as questionable. Brandon Ingram
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: has already been rolled out, Emanuel Quickly has already been
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: rolled out as well. So if Scotty were to miss,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: there would be a ton of value. We'll let you
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: talk about that then.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: On the other side.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Uh, former mister triple double Russell Westbrook is gonna be
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: out once again for this for this contest. And that's
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: really all I see on the King side. But another
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: team that's uh, that's playing out the string versus a
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: team that's uh, you know, playoff bound in the in
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: these Raptors. So King's at the Raptors. You got a
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: twelve and a half point spread.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, bad time for the Raptors to get banged up
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: and getting close to the playoffs. They've been out without
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: many quickly for a bit. And his injury is not
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: a good one. Was it a right foot planner fasciie
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Just it's a tough one to to deal with. And
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: then yeah, and then and Bi's got the heel injury,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: so that's not good either. They listed Scotty with the
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: shoulder contusions. I'm not really sure if that's just like
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: a get him the night off top of deal. But yeah,
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: I think that the most likely outcome is that Scotty
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: does sit and they give him the night off. I'd
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: touch on the Kings really quick, because they have enough
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: guys that these players don't really come into play. I
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: think that like there's an outside chance that somebody does
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: well enough here and we've seen DeMar DeRozan have a
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: lot of success when they just run his minutes up
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: and his matchup would get a lot softer if Scotty
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Barnes would have missed. But I just think it's a
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: little bit too risky to play these guys, So probably
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: another situation where it's max one to two, probably closer
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: to max one. I would say I'd be interested in
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Damar a little bit, and then one of Devin Carter
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: or Malik Monk, but they're starting to get a little
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: bit price as well, and we'll have a lot better
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: guard values. I'd be probably pretty low on this team
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: as a whole, but as for the raptor side of things,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: definitely need to get some consider to them, because if
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Scotty missed, then Jamal Shed, I think would look like
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: a really, really strong option. There was a little bit
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: of coach speak about how they wanted Jamal Shed or
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Scottie Barnes on the court at all times because they're
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: like they're two best handlers right now with the manual
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: quickly out, and I think that if Scotty were to miss,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: like there's a good chance that Jamal Shed leads the
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: slate in touch time like I could see him going
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: for like eight plus minutes here. Uh probably has a
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: ton of potential assists as well. I just worry a
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: little bit about the upside because he doesn't do much offensively,
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Like he's very passive when it comes to actually shooting
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: the ball. But he'll probably come up with like thirteen
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: to fifteen assists tonight, and then if you can get
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: a double double like that game against Utah is kind
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: of comparably at fifteen assists in that game, only took
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: six shots, but you know, if he had got another
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: three more points, that we're looking at like a thirty
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: six point game from him, which would be really good
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: at his price tags, I'd have consideration there. And then
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Archie Barrett would have to be a really strong play
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: because he's just gonna have so much usage in that
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: first unit with Jamal Shed not really looking to shoot.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Then guys like Jacobe Walter and Perle the other options.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: I would really think that Bear would be a really
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: strong option here, and then want to see what they
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: do at the starting line up. I think that Walter
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: will still start, but then if Barnes were to miss,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: that's probably Shed, but it could be CMB I do
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: think that Sandro would be in a good spot here
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: at four point one, k is already projecting pretty solidly,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: So yeah, all these guys are gonna get a lot better.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Definitely interested in how Jamal shed would look whenever Scotty
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Barnes gets ruled in or out though, Yeah.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Good stuff there.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: We're to wait and see to see what Scotti does.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: But I think he broke it down very well right there.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: We got several games left. I think what two or
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: three games left. If you haven't done so already, make
• 22:44

• 23:00
  Speaker 3: It does us an a ton of favors over here.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Next up on the slate, we've talked about it. We've
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: talked about the Pacers taking on the Bulls and what
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: should be an up and down contest. You see it
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: there on the screen. Two hundred and forty eight and
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: a half point total. Tons of injuries in this one.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Let's start with the Bulls. You've got Josh Giddy that's
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: listed as questionable. Anthony Simons has been out for quite
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: some time. He's not suiting up. And I guess the
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: big news on the Pacers is going to be what's
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: going on with Pascal Siakam.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Andrew Nimhart has already been ruled out.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Former Houston Cougar Great Jarris Walker has already been ruled
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: out as well, a bunch of other Q tags on
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: both sides. McConnell is out, you name it. Neia Smith
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: is out for the Pacers. So just walk us through
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: this game, walk us through the value that you see
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: popping in Indy at Chicago.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean tough to break down because both these
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: teams are highly.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Incentivized to lose.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: For the Pacers, they obviously have to keep their bottom
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: four pick. Right now, they are bottom two record wise,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: basically tied with Washington, so they're actually dead last. But
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Brooklyn's right there at eighteen, Sacramentos there at nineteen. I
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: think that they can afford to win win one game,
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: whereas Chicago's kind of neck and neck at that nine
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: ten spot with Milwaukee.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: It does drop off in a pretty big way.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: The odds getting a top four pick from UH nine
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: to ten, So I think that if there was any
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: tanking shenanigans going on here, it'd probably come from the
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: bull side of things. But with that being said, I
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: mean it's a really good matchup. I think that the
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Pacers side is a little bit a little bit more
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: straightforward because they've been kind of playing games a little
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: bit more competitive competitively as of late. There are three
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: starting spots that are opening up with those guys that
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: you mentioned that are out tonight, so we have to
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: see who they go with. But I think that Quintin
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Jackson will be one of those guys, Jay Huff will
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: be one of those guys, and then it's probably between
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Kobe Brown or Jalen Slosson for or the third. Quinn
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Jackson I think is just an exceptional value play at
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: three point three K with the point guard shooting guard eligibility.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Cam Jones will be split in some of the guard
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: role with him as well, and he'll project well at
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: three point one K. Kobe Brown I think is gonna
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: project well. I think Slawson is interesting if he's starting,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: because we saw that game against the Blazers he started
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: and played thirty seven minutes. If that's the case here,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: I mean three point five k is a very good
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: price sect for him, but I think it's gonna between
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: him or Kobe Brown and then I mean Siaka mean,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: he's just a I think that he's gonna do great.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: I just wonder what the motivation factor for him playing
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: this game is. If he's playing thirty plus minutes, then
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's got to be one of the best
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: midier options on the slate because it's just such a
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: good matchup for him. And then Obi top and at
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: three point seven k minutes are starting to come up
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: a little bit. I think that this is the exact
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: type of game environment where it's fast paced up and down,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: no rint protection on the other side of things. But
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: he's also at three point threat. I think that this
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: is the type of game where topping in twenty minutes
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: could go for like thirty.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Five to forty.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: I think that rules definitely have to come into play
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: here because your optos are just gonna flood these pacers.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: Some things that I've considered, it's definitely Max one of
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Huff and Potter. I think it's gonna be Max two
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: of siakam Obi and Kobe Brown and then probably throw
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Jon Jalen Slawson in there as well, and then a
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: max two of Quinton Jackson, Cam Jones, Ethan Thompson and
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: Taylor Peters. What I'm considering for the Pacers stuff the
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: bulls side of things, with no Nie Smith or Nemhard,
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: They're on ball defense is going to get much much
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: worse here, So I think it's a really good spot
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: for guys like Giddy and Trey Jones and Mats Buzzellis.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: But Giddy did get downgraded with the hamstring issue. I
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: think that there's a chance that he missed this game,
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: which would open up Trey Jones is a pretty good
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: MITTERI option, but I think that Matos would probably be
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: the guy that I'm looking to picking up more usage
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: and could play a ton of minutes here. Con Sexton
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: is another guy that would project a lot, and he's
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: been playing great as of late thirty one plus DK
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: points in three straight games. And then got to keep
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: an eye on the availability of Richard's and Yaboo. If
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: either one were to miss, or if both were to miss,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: then Letter Miller, I feel like as a guy that
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know, if you go overlooked but I would
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: definitely want to get to him a little bit at
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: four point six K because he does have really good,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: really big upside in this type of matchup.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Still muted, Yeah, I was muted.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna say. Giddy, what's your take
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: on Giddy? I know he's questionable. You think he's in
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: or is he out?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: You think?
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know, it's a downgrade hamstring, probably not something
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: you want to mess with. I feel like he's I
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: think that he would miss.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And so with them them losing, that just means
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: they got a better ping pong ball chance of getting
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: a better draft pick, right, Like, they don't do anything
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: based off records in terms of drafting.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: It's still the pink pong balls.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Right Yeah, Yeah, it's a they would just I think
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: that it's a decently big difference between nine and ten
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: for the like getting a top four pick.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: So Quentin Jackson at thirty three hundred you mentioned I
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: like that. Do you think this game can get into
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: the two fifties with with with with I'll call them
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: these backups, or do you think this is one you
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: could potentially fade?
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, the the level.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Of talent that each team's gonna be putting out there
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: kind of makes me seem that it could go under.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: But I mean Vegas is smarter than I am, so
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: they have it that high for a reason. I mean,
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: these are two really bad, two bad defenses, but I
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: just wonder if the bad offense is outweigh that. Yeah,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know, two forty seven and a half, Like
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: that's really tough to overlook.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll like this question too in the chat with
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: with the with so many injuries and uncertainties, would you
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: be fine fading the first two games that we don't
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: I'll say, don't particularly love Atlanta and Orlando in Philly
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: and Washington.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: I mean there are options. I don't think that you
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: have to play or faded. I mean I feel like
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: the like one twenty six teams total for Philly is
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: that's the best on the slate. I believe, Uh that's yeah,
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: tied with Chicago for the best on the slates. I
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: think you have to consider these guys. And then the
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Atlanta Orlando game is one that I could see the
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Studs doing well, and so I don't I don't know
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: if I would fade it, but I think you definitely
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: could get away with it.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know an hour, hour and fifteen
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: You know with uh with all the games start within
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: an hour, and you probably will know the starts and
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: sits maybe an hour and fifteen minutes before those eight
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: o'clock tips.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Deontay Wilder and I have to go check that out.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw that on the.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: T rio, but I just saw it before getting on.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I was waiting for you.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: It's it is whatever you think it is.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: It's way crazier.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Well I won't say where my mom went, but I
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: can't wait to go watch it now. We got one
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: game left, and I think there should be some plenty
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: of value here. We got a pretty good starting file
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: for the Bucks that will not be suiting up tonight.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: I feel like this is their entire starting five roster,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: or a majority of their starting roster at the beginning
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: of the year.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: No Greek Freak, no.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: KPJ, no Bobby portis I, no he comes off the bench,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: no Kuzman, no Miles Turner, no my boy, Tayshawn Tarreen
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Prince He's sitting out. And then the big news for
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: them too, Ryan Rollins, who bought out last night he
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: has listed as questionable, so they're in full tank mode.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Fired Doc Rivers, he is horrible taking on this Rockets
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: team who you already alluded to beat the Knicks last
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: night beat him handily as well.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: So any love for any of.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: These Rockets that you know theoretically are only gonna play
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: only gonna play three quarters. So Bucks eighteen and a
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: half point favorite, not slated to score one hundred points
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: taken on this Rockets team that might be gelling at
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: the right time.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Are you telling me that Hall of Fame coach Doctor
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Rivers needs to get fired?
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I would say so, yeah. I mean he is a
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I think I don't know how or why, but it's
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: time for him to go in my humble opinion, what
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: about you.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: No, I'd agree with that, but they definitely need a change.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: The scenery in Milwaukee, for sure, last couple of seasons
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: been bad. This season for sure has been pretty bad.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: But yeah, the Buck side of things is gonna be
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: one to keep an eye on because if they lose Rawlins,
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: they only have eight guys tonight, that's the magic numbers,
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: So these guys are gonna have to play a ton
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: not as good of a matchup as the Indie Chicago game,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: or like the Knicks Memphis one, even the Sacs Toronto.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: All the matchups are a little bit better there because
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: Houston steal is one of the top defenses in the
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: NBA and they do play a little bit slower. But
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, these guys are cheap and gonna be playing
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: a ton of minutes. I think those a good chance
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: that Ryan Rowlins would have miss because he was listed
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: probable with the hip thing and then questionable today with it.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: Haven't really seen any sort of news on that, but yeah,
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: I mean they are They definitely want to lose this game,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: and I think that they'll do as much as they can,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: which probably means that Ron's.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Is out the Houston.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Houston guys are gonna be in a really good spot here,
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: though Milwaukee's bottom four in defense over last month gona
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: gonna get much worse with all of their NBA level
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: talent guys actually out for this one minus a couple
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: of these guys, but they're just not defending well around
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: the rim. Still give up the second highest three point volumes.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: I'm really in on all of these Houston guys, but
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: I think I'll probably lean more like the amen Jabari
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: and Tari and probably read Shepherd grouping over Segoon and KD.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: I feel like if the minutes were to get cut,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: it probably come from k D and.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Sengoon more so than the the younger guys.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: But I also mean there's like an outside shot that
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Milwaukee keeps it close because Houston has been known to
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: play with their food at times, and they also will.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: I think they'll run their guys a litit deeper to
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: blow out just to kind of solidify the win for sure. Yeah,
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: so I think that Tari, I don't know if he's
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: gonna be starting again. I believe that they said they
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: would go back to reach Shepherd and yesterday was more
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: so for the matchup, But we'll have to double check
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: that one because if he's starting, I mean he's started
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: to turn things around. Last month, there was a stretch
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: where he didn't make a three for like three weeks
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: in a row, and he's starting to shoot it better now.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: And I mean a team like Milwaukee is just gonna
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: be with a bunch of worse ball handlers, like you
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: could see him really.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Fill up the statue here.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: He's a guy that does spike for steels and blocks
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: at times, so I would definitely have interest in Tari
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I think a man.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: He's been playing great as of late on both sides
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: of the ball. This could be spot where he gets
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: the scoring going a lot more and then Shepherd at
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: six point five K. Maybe he plays deeper in a
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: blow out if he's off the bench. He shot the
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: ball great last game. Probably don't need to get to Jabbari,
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: but I think you have to consider him for sure
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: because the matchups so good. The guys that I'm looking
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: at to on the Milwaukee side of things if Ryan
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Rowans were to miss would probably be Gary Trent Junior
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: because he did pick up a really big role over
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: the weekend when Rawlins missed, and he's kind of the
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: last like they probably have like three guys on this
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: team that are like true NBA talent level players. He's
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: just stuck on a really bad team, but they gave
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: him a really big role over the weekend. He played
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: a ton of minutes. I'd probably look into him.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know about Usman Jang.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: I don't like the price site at six point two K,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: but he's gonna have to play a Ton. Yeah, let's
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: excited about that one. I think that guy's like Pete
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Nant's at four point a K with power forward small
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Ford eligibility. They've shown a willingness to play him a
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: ton just not a good per minutent guy. And then
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: like Alex Santetakumpo, he's three K. I saw some minutes
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: last night, like they might just say screwed and play
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: him a ton of minutes and a mind price. Like
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: a guy like that with power forward eligibility gonna have
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: to be in consideration for sure. So yeah, more of
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: like a wait and see approach to what the what
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: it looks like for Milwaukee. But I I don't think
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: I'd be going to guys like Ada Green or Cormack.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: Ryan don't even know anything about him. Audrey Jackson is
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: never a guy I think that does enough to be
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: in consideration. Cardio King, Yeah, Cardio King, for sure.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: It would be.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: It'd be guys that are taking on more usage like
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Usman Jane Gary, Trent, Pete Nance. I don't think Jericho
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: Sims would be a guy I'm looking to either Smith.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: You any interest in him?
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Totally? Kid?
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: You missed, You missed the bit. It was with Matthew.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he plays with the Pistons.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I'm just.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: You do you know what I'm talking about?
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: I think Yeah, matt was mentioning him on one of
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: the shows two weeks ago.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that pretty much covered. Now. That's it.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Though, I just don't really have a strong take on
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: the Milwaukee Buck stuff, Like it's just gonna be wait
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: and see approach. But they also have a sub one
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: hundred team total, so like, even if they have eight guys,
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: there's not a guarantee that they do enough to be
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: the guy that you needed.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, excellent stuff there. Oh TOTALU Smith played
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Apparently we're running out of time, so just we'll just
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: who give me your top play. Let's go under six
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: K six K and under top play on the slate tonight.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean it's gonna be one of the one
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: of the indie guys.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: I feel like it'd probably do the inverse and do
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: like a top seven k plate tonight because there's so
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: many guys sub six k tonight that are gonna be
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: in play.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Goodness, gracious, there's not a single guy over four to
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: eight on Indy outside of Pascal.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: That's wild.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I've ever seen that. And that's
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: your boy, Jay Huff. That's all seven games. Hey, we
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: certainly appreciate you tuning in. We kind of sped.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Date through that.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Rio, Glad I could join you last minute. Good luck
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: tonight in your contests. Rio, I'm gonna get on out
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: of here.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: I'll catch you at a later time. Oh.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: One other question, the most important question, Uh, my guy
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Rio one one hundred k and the MLB streets Day one.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: It looks like Shaloub just shipped one hundred k a
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: in the streets today. But any any big purchases with
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: your hunter k or do you just just stack your
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: bank account up?
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Uh? Nothing yet, I don't really.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: I don't splurge a ton when I win, but I
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: think eventually maybe I'll give myself a nice bottle of
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: bourbon or something.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: All right, nice bottle of bourbon, will you deserve it?
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Congratulations on that win. That that will do it for
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: us folks. For my guy Rio, I'm him. We'll see
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: you next time. The ship it on?
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Then, said any spe
