1:51
obviously we'll have you covered for the MBA slate here tonight. We're gonna go
1:57
buy the DraftKings games or the order here on the Solver our optimizer partner here.
2:04
First game, haw much. We got the Miami Heat here and the
2:07
Charlotte Hornets in this game. Injury report for this one. Mark Williams is
2:13
doubtful, Nick Smith is doubtful with the foot Bam out of Baio is out.
2:17
Hig Smith here is out as well. Pretty decent close spread here in
2:23
this one. But first game of the night here, we got some injury
2:27
news in here. First couple of plays that I'm looking at here from an
2:30
ownership standpoint that are popping a little bit here. Nick Richards obviously with that
2:35
Mark Williams news, he's four point six k but gets a pretty tough match
2:38
up here gets Bam outa Bio, Kevin Love are kind of some of the
2:42
players getting ownership here in this one where you're looking in this one Charlotte and
2:46
Miami. Yeah, this game I think is gonna be a little juicy in
2:51
my opinion. I like scary Terry Terry Rose here Tonight point guard, shooting
2:55
guard eligible eighty three hundred overall DraftKings. Don't mind Terry Rozier. You said
3:01
it. If Mark Williams does sit Nick Richards, that's I think it's viable.
3:05
Uh so, don't mind Nick Richards and then Orlando Robinson. I think,
3:08
uh, Bam out of Bayo is out. Nate's in that correct,
3:13
Yeah I believe Yeah, yeah, yeah, so BAM's out. So yeah,
3:19
so I like I like that, uh the center the center for Nick
3:23
Richards, if Mark Williams sits, and then on the flip side, I
3:25
like Orlando Robinson too. Uh fo uh for these heat don't mind either one
3:30
of those. I think both of those are great plays, especially Robinson,
3:35
especially Rosier. I really like both of those. It's kind of where I'll
3:38
be starting this game. Yeah, I like those two plays there. Orlando
3:42
Robinson has been pretty good with the when when BAM's not out there. Obviously
3:47
struggled a little bit last game against Cleveland, but Cleveland's got the towers there
3:51
right with Mobley and Jared Allen, and that you could see him bounce back
3:54
here in a matchup against Nick Richards and the Hornets here. I like the
4:00
centers a little bit in this spot. Miles Bridges is popping pretty good in
4:02
our our projections over here at the Nation, seeing pretty low ownership on him,
4:08
so I maybe I wouldn't hate a guy like Miles Bridges here. But
4:12
first game of the night here to twenty two total, not one of the
4:14
best totals on the slate overall from a total standpoint here, but it is
4:18
a close spread, just a four point spread, so I think you can
4:21
pull some plays. Obviously, you can always play a Jimmy Butler as as
4:26
a spend up, but I'm kind of a team no Jimmy until the playoffs
4:30
right when he kind of turns it on, especially at that almost nine K
4:32
price point on this one. So not my favorite game to start it off.
4:35
I think you can grab either one of these centers personally, But let's
4:40
jump into the next game here Washington and Philly, and man, you got
4:44
to talk about it. You got to talk about Joe Embiid. He's got
4:46
almost a seventy projection here. Where are you going in this one? Washington
4:50
Philly? Eleven point spread in this one to forty four is the total here?
4:59
Massive? Massive, little massive spread where you're going? Yeah, I
5:02
mean it's almost tough to fade and bead in this situation. We've seen already
5:06
twice this season, you know, I think he got seventy nine at seventy
5:10
six in this game, So he's going to be a tough fade. Obviously.
5:15
The concern would be that, you know, it's a blowout scenario.
5:18
The Wizards are probably the worst team at defending the rim. Now, taking
5:25
the consideration that Dan Gaffert has also been listed as out as well, I
5:29
think Joel Embiid, you know, at his price, at what he can
5:32
do. You said it, you know, projection is super high. I
5:35
think he exceeds that projection tonight. I really like Joel Embiid as a spend
5:42
up. My only concern there would be we have so much value at the
5:46
center position. We mentioned Orlando Robinson. We'll obviously talk about some other folks
5:49
as well. My second favorite seventy six er that I want to talk about,
5:56
who's who's still super duper cheap. It's a Nick but just does so
6:00
many little things for this team, and you know, hopefully he can get
6:03
some more rebounds, assists and things like that. So I don't mind Nick
6:06
Batoum tonight, you know, as a cheap kind of fill in type of
6:10
play, but for me it would only be Embiid and then I might have
6:15
a little bit of a Batomb. Uh that's where I'm going, and then
6:17
no Wizards for me. I'm just gonna be off of this Wizards team tonight.
6:23
Yeah. No, I'm with you there and be definitely my favorite stud
6:27
on the slate. It's hard to ignore this spot here for Joe Embiid,
6:30
so I really like him. No Wizards with you there, And then I
6:33
do think Batom's a fine value play at forty four hundred. He's been playing
6:36
pretty good if he's he's thirty three or twenty nine to thirty three minutes there
6:43
Again, I think you I think he's a fine value play at forty four
6:46
hundred here, But the only the only thing I think that's gonna slow and
6:49
be down here is a blowout. But man, look at his game log.
6:53
He hasn't He hasn't scored under sixty eight DraftKings points in his last five
6:58
games there and now it get not match up here against Washington. So obviously
7:01
Embiid, I'm seeing pretty low ownership on him right now as well. If
7:04
if that stays true, I mean I really like Embid at eleven seven here,
7:09
so I really like that spot. Let's jump into the next game here,
7:13
Cleveland and Orlando. In this one, we do have some news obviously,
7:17
Glen Suggs still questionable there, could bring up some of these value guys
7:20
for the Orlando side. But where are you going in this one? Man?
7:28
Cleveland and Orlando. Yeah, this should be a good real life game
7:34
tonight. I think Evan Mobley is out, is what I'm seeing. So
7:39
with Mobiley out, that really to me, that kind of strikes up Ben
7:43
Caro and then Wagner on the other side. I don't mind either one of
7:46
those, you know, getting a backup going against what I would assuming would
7:50
be uh Dean Wade uh kneeing type type of type of folks. Really like
7:57
BN Caro, really like Franz Wagner tonight in this game, and then with
8:03
no mobile out there, obviously it's gonna that's gonna lead more you know,
8:07
opportunities no LeVert as well, some more opportunities for Donovan Mitchell Jared Allen.
8:13
Then my favorite out of those three would be Darius Garland's actually my favorite uh
8:18
cavalier just strictly based on his price seventy seven hundred over on DraftKings, saving
8:22
eighteen hundred dollars off of Donovan Mitchell. I'm looking forward to this game.
8:26
Gonna be gonna be a good game. I won't see it because I'll be
8:28
at the Memphis game, but should be a good one. So Darius Garland,
8:33
Ben Caro, and Franz Wagner would kind of be How how I rotate
8:37
these guys in and out? Yeah, No, excellent break down. I
8:39
think you can take a shot at Jared Allen here, But overall from this
8:43
game, I'm gonna be under on this game completely. I know Paul Butch
8:46
Harrow has been balling out right now, but I'm gonna be under on this
8:50
whole game in general. Here obviously thirteen games slate, I get it.
8:54
It's a close spread. Here, But I think everyone's appropriately priced down.
8:58
A ton of injury news in this one, So for me, this game's
9:01
kind of a cross off here. Let's jump into the next game. Here.
9:03
We got Indy and Detroit. Pretty juicy game here too. Forty eight
9:07
is the total only a seven point spread obviously Tyrese haliburt and up to ten
9:13
nine. I mean, he's been deserving him that price point. The guy's
9:16
been absolutely nuking here and now gets a stone nut matchup against Detroit. Have
9:20
to talk on him him versus EMBIID got Kate Cunningham on the other side.
9:24
Where are you going to this one juiciest game on the state in terms of
9:28
a total perspective up all the way up to almost two point fifty Yeah,
9:35
real quick, Hey Smarty, you re late to the party. But man,
9:37
I'm in a hotel room. I left my landing gear at home.
9:39
Sorry about that. That was hilarious. What Tamba did. I'll have it
9:43
back though next week. I'm in a hotel in Memphis right now. But
9:46
yeah, this should be This should be a good game as far as as
9:50
you know. Scored a lot of daily Fantasy points. My personal take is
9:54
that this is gonna be tough for the Pacers to get up for right,
9:58
you know, playing you know, playing you know prime time against the Lakers.
10:01
Now coming back you know to reality, if you will playing the Detroit
10:05
Pistons, arg will be the worst team in the National Basketball Association. Uh
10:09
So I like some of these Pistons. I like Killian Hayes fifty five hundred
10:13
point guard eligible on DK. I mean, certainly you can play Halliburton.
10:20
He's he's just he's amazing. But uh, you know, going on the
10:22
road, going into Detroit, I'm gonna be lower on Halliburton that maybe most
10:28
My second favorite one would be Isaiah Stewart power forward and center eligible should be
10:33
thin in the front court. Duran I think is either out or is questionable.
10:39
And then the only other option would be, you know James wiseman At
10:43
who's at fifty two hundred, UH is kind of the last man standing as
10:48
release to the center. So give me some Isaiah Stewart, give me some
10:52
Killian Hayes, uh, and that would be kind of where I go,
10:54
and then you can play these Pacers. But man ten to nine for Halliburton
10:58
is uh is a steep I used to pay in my opinion. Yeah,
11:01
I mean I think Haliburton comes in sell five percent in a matchup against Detroit.
11:05
He is ten to nine, which is expensive, but man, uh,
11:09
seventy three sixty seven sixty four. Uh, he's gonna get his thirty
11:13
six to forty minutes here in a matchup against Detroit. I mean, blot
11:18
really isn't a concern here. I don't really look for blowout. It's too
11:22
much and I mean if this game blows out, it's definitely on the back
11:24
of Haliburton. So I do think he is a good spend up if you
11:30
can't get up to EMBIID, I do like EMBIID and be just projects way
11:33
better. And BID's got a match up against Washington as well here. But
11:35
Haliburton has a great matchup. He's been great as well, so I do
11:39
like him. On the Detroit side, Killian Hayes, I'm with you there.
11:43
I prefer Killian Hayes at the Savings fifty five two. Bojon Bojeon's been
11:48
lighting lighting it up since he's come back. Did let down last game obviously
11:52
against Orlando, so you could see a flap lake spot here against both uh
11:56
for Bojon. But I just prefer killing Hay. He's been balling, he's
12:01
fifty five hundred, doesn't need to do quite as much with that. Thousand
12:03
dollars does go a long way on a thirteen game slate, So I do
12:07
like him. And then I'm with you Isaiah Stewart. I think Beef stew
12:11
Is is fine, but I just don't love it there. So for me,
12:13
it's pretty much killing in Haliburton for me in this one. But I
12:18
think you do see a lot of people go to this game. Obviously,
12:20
the largest total in the slate here is definitely a definitely a good, good
12:24
game to target here. Let's jump into the next game here, it's the
12:28
Denver Nuggets and the Atlanta Hawks here in this one to forty one, another
12:35
massive total in this one, obviously Atlanta. This is a good spot here,
12:39
good pace game here, pace up spot for Denver. Only a two
12:43
point spread here in this one. Jokic eleven nine, I mean him versus
12:48
NB two hundred dollars difference there, talk about that and then talk about Trey
12:52
Young. This Clint Compella, who's been smashing. Pretty tough matchup here now
12:58
against Jokic Stoll. I do think you can grab some plays on this one,
13:01
but you can argue Yokic's ceiling hasn't been as good with with Jawan Murray
13:07
back, So definitely touched on that. Yeah, I mean obviously we've seen
13:11
we've seen Jokic struggle, you know from I guess I say struggle, uh
13:16
not not Jokic standards if you will. Over the last week or so some
13:20
rough shooting nights. What does the doctor order? The doctor orders the Atlanta
13:24
Hawks facing that team that does not protect the rim very well. I like
13:30
Jokic in a big bounce back spot tonight. I mean that you said there's
13:33
gonna be three major spind ups that you have to see. You know who
13:35
you want, Embiid, Jokic and then obviously Luka against this this Memphis team
13:39
that I'm going to see tonight. So those are going to be the three
13:41
deciding points on tonight's slate. They all have pristine matchups. To be honest
13:46
with you, I actually like Jokic a little bit more than embied ament of
13:50
Embiads in a great spot. But I think Jokic gets back on tracks simply
13:54
because I think the game is going to be closer. I think it's going
13:56
to be more competitive, and I think he gets uh you know, out
14:00
of his funk if you will. And this is the perfect recipe this Atlanta
14:03
Hawks team. Outside of Jokic, I like Michael Porter Junior. I feel
14:07
like I like Michael Porter Junior every night. But uh, Michael Porter Junior
14:11
is showing really well over at our stuff. Uh you know, seven thousand
14:16
dollars showing showing a good value. Uh. So it'd be Jokic one for
14:20
me. Michael Porter Junior would be number two for me as it relates to
14:24
the Nuggets. And then Trey Young is great, uh, you know,
14:28
great fantasy player, but ten to one, I think it would be a
14:30
little bit lower on him. I don't mind the Clint Compella call that you
14:33
that you said a little bit. He does a lot of a lot of
14:35
things. Ownership is going to be be in check. But you know,
14:37
obviously you going to play so many centers. I feel we got a bunch
14:41
of centers tonight. Uh. I personally won't be getting to Capella, but
14:43
I don't I don't think it's the worst play on the slate. Yeah,
14:48
I mean Copella has been good. He is still six six' five,
14:50
He's probably my favorite play from this game with obviously Trey Young back now de
14:56
Jontay Murray's up to eight six. Bogdanovich is there, he's he's commanded usage
15:01
six to eight for him said he bays up to six three. DeAndre hunters
15:05
up to almost six k. He's he is questionable. So if Hunter does
15:07
miss, I mean that's about thirty to thirty five minutes there that do need
15:11
to be spread around. Both these teams are basically fully healthy here in this
15:16
one with a massive total, I just don't see a lot of spots here
15:20
to go to in this one, which is kind of kind of crazy here.
15:22
Obviously that changes if DeAndre Hunter misses a little bit here, but overall
15:28
in this one, I think I'm just gonna grab maybe a Clint Compella,
15:31
Michael Porter Junior, maybe on the nuggets. But even he's up to seven
15:35
K, I mean, you really need him to get you forty five to
15:39
fifty. There is what you're kind of looking for in tournaments at that price
15:43
point, when you got other guys in that price point that that are in
15:46
other better spots in better game environments with injuries, so massive total, I
15:52
get it, but I prefer Jokic more at home personally, so I'm team
15:56
and beat over Yokich here tonight. Can't go wrong with really either of them.
16:00
Obviously, Jokic do for a triple double or in line for a triple
16:04
double almost anytime he touches the court. But for me, I'm not seeing
16:08
a ton in this game, which is kind of crazy to say when it's
16:11
a two to forty one total. But both teams are basically fully healthy here,
16:14
and their prices are up one due to Trey Young missing a couple of
16:18
games, and prices still haven't reflected that so massive total. Long, way
16:23
long, long winded way of saying, not a ton of interest for me
16:27
in that game. You can definitely pick some studs out, but I'm gonna
16:30
be under on that game in general. Let's jump to the next game.
16:36
Here, we have the Toronto Raptors and the New York Knicks here two twenty
16:41
one of the lowest totals on the board here tied for the lowest total on
16:45
the board. Actually, with that late night game between the Clips and the
16:48
Trailblazers, there only a four point spread in this one. Maybe Isaiah Hartenstein,
16:52
who seems to be popping pretty much right now with obviously the mitchrob news
16:57
there touch on isaih Ha Hertenstein here in Uh, I mean it is a
17:02
pretty tough match up here against Toronto siakam and and Potal and those guys Scottie
17:07
Barnes touch on that, and then any other players you're looking at here.
17:12
Yeah, and uh, Embiad is questionable now and I knew it was cool.
17:15
I thought he was always questionable, but he was a shooter around this
17:18
morning. So obviously keep your keep your eyes and ears pill pill for that
17:22
news. But yeah, this game I like, Uh, I like Hartenstein.
17:29
Obviously, Mitch rob Out, I think it's said eight to ten weeks
17:32
if I'm not mistaken, So obviously the prices were out before this one came
17:36
in. Uh. I think Hartenstein's gonna be tough to fade to night my
17:40
own my own opinion. I think he can eight x his uh his projection
17:44
by uh, you know, pretty pretty easy tonight, right, should play
17:47
thirty one thirty two minutes. But the backup center Jeri Jericho Simms, you
17:53
know, played sparingly all season, so I think uh TIBs, you know,
17:57
Truss Hartenstein, and it's gonna play a lot, and he does so
18:00
many different things for this team. Rebounds, offensive rebounds, blocks, you
18:04
know, steals, things like that. I like Hartenstein at that price forty
18:08
six hundred. It just opens up so much for your roster. And then
18:15
also like if if Jalen Brunson, who's questionable, but I believe he's gonna
18:21
play if he happens to sit, I do like Isaiah Quickly or Emmanuel Quickly.
18:26
I'm sorry, Emmanuel Quickly at the point guard position. Should Jalen Brunton
18:30
sit. I think that's a great play for that, but it's gonna be
18:34
Hartenstein for me, you know, Siakam or Scottie Barnes on the other side,
18:38
I think is fine, a little bit too pricey for me, but
18:41
I'm definitely gonna have some Hartenstein in my line up. Yeah, I see
18:45
some talk on with Mark in the chat about Scottie Barnes. I mean it
18:49
wasn't match up against Charlotte, which is basically a Stone Nutt match up there
18:52
in that spot. He is eighty seven hundred. Here, Knicks play very
18:56
slow. Here a very good defensive basketball. That's why you see the total
19:00
what it is with the raptors basically fully healthy here. I don't think I
19:04
get to too much of these raptors personally, obviously out of porters out there,
19:10
but that doesn't really do much. My interest is more on the knick
19:12
side here right With mitchrob being out, obviously that brings heart and sign another
19:17
center. Obviously, I do think it's definitely a two center slate here tonight
19:19
for me personally. Like I said, I like him beat a lot if
19:22
he plays. There's plenty of other centers that we already mentioned here, Hartenstein
19:27
being one of them, forty six hundred. He's gonna get ownership, but
19:30
it's just hard to ignore the minutes are going to be there. I expect
19:36
thirty two thirty five minutes here, thirty to thirty four minutes something like that,
19:41
as long as he stays out of follow trouble. So I do like
19:42
that for me. Pretty much nobody else in this game just eating the kind
19:47
of value with with Hartenstein. Let's jump into to the game of the night
19:52

game's icy and it's like what a two twenty six total? Hopefully we can
20:44
hit that before halftime. I mean, just because I'm going to the game,
20:47
I will have one of my teams just fully stacking this puppy. But
20:51
you know, just speaking, you know, in a and logically, Desmond
20:55
Bane would be my favorite player in this game. Eighty seven hundred dollars tonight,
21:00
Uh, it was. It was less than a week ago, uh
21:03
that he put up a seventy five Burgraman. Obviously that was against Detroit,
21:06
not this Dallas team, but uh so he has that upside against this is
21:08
where I was going really like Desmond Bain tonight. How could you not like
21:12
Luca? Uh No, Kyrie Irvin mind you? So Luca's the main competition
21:19
you know for shots, uh to Luca is is out, so that's gonna
21:23
bump him up a little bit on on on with him. Tim Hardaway Junior
21:29
great price fifty four hundred dollars, Also like Derreck Jones Junior fifty three hundred
21:34
dollars. Uh So, I don't mind those three MAVs com paired with Desmond
21:40
Baine. So I really liked this game, not only well being attendance,
21:42
but I think it's a good game to stack up with Desmond Bine being my
21:45
favorite in the game Luca. Really like Luca as well, and then like
21:49
Derreck Jones and also like Tim Hardaway Junior with with uh with Kyrie being out
21:56
tonight tonight, Yeah, One guy I also want to bring up is Dante
22:00
exem Here, who's been playing great since the Kyrie injury. He is.
22:03
His price is rising up to fifty seven hundred, but should get thirty thirty
22:07
plus minutes here in this spot. He's gonna be obviously a ballhander there alongside
22:14
Luca and still Lucas team here. I still think I prefer embiid up at
22:19
the top. But on the Memphis side, I really like Desmond Baine.
22:23
I'm with you there. I think this is a great bounce, big bounce
22:27
back flop lake spot. Obviously, Minnesota, I believe is the best defensive
22:32
team in the league so far this year. That's where you saw Desmond Baine
22:36
letdown spot. So I think you can flop right back, jump right back
22:38
on the flop lake spot here. Desmond Bain obviously went off for almost a
22:44
fifty burger real life fifty fifty burger there against Detroit, now comes back here
22:49
and gets a decent matchup against Dallas, who ranks bottom bottom six in the
22:55
league against shooting guards here. So I really like Desmond Bain. I see
23:00
if you want a ping pong him and Luca, I think that's one way
23:02
to get different. I'm seeing about twelve to fifteen percent of ownership on both
23:04
of those guys. Tim Hardaway is gonna get a decent amount of ownership,
23:08
as he always does when without Kyrie. I think I prefer down to XEM,
23:12
who you can play at the same same position. I would definitely play
23:15
x them at the small forward position versus the point guard position at fifty seven
23:21
hundred there, just pay up a little three hundred dollars more than the Hardaway.
23:25
I just like XM more so. Definitely a good game here, not
23:29
not one of the best totals, but you're gonna be in attendance ham So
23:32
you know what that means. Maybe maybe you stack it up and just hope
23:36
for hope for overtime game or something right, and uh, you just go
23:38
to the ticket window and cash all your tickets after after the game there.
23:44
Let's jump to the next one here. Utah and OKAC in this one two
23:48
thirty four total, but a massive spread here twelve points spread for Utah touch
23:55
on this one Utah and Okay. See from an injury standpoint, LORI marketing
23:59
Reoman out with a hamstring injury, Walker Kessler's out, lou Dort is questionable,
24:04
and then John Collins is questionable as well with an illness SGA another spend
24:11
up stud here, which who's obviously been nuking right, coming off a massive
24:15
game where he dropped thirty eight real life against Golden State, played forty two
24:18
minutes here ten to six for him. Sub five percent ownership on him is
24:22
another contrarian spend up. Chet Holgrom has been playing out of his mind this
24:27
season. They're in contention with Rookie of the Year there with him and him
24:30
and Wemby. Where are you going in this one? Pretty pretty good total
24:34
in this one, but again pretty big spread. Yeah, I mean Utah
24:41
has been been struggling of late and from Kessler is out and so is marketing.
24:48
To me, that's just going to open up the interior, right,
24:51
and so who does that benefit the most on the opposing team? You said
24:53
it? Chet Holgrin had a great year. I really like chet Holgerman.
24:56
He's had a traditional big man so to speak. But uh you know at
25:00
that frame he's down there a lot getting rebounds, blocking shots, scoring at
25:03
the rim. Uh So the rim protection is not going to be there for
25:07
the Jazz. I think, I think the thunder roll tonight. So chet
25:11
Holgren would be my favorite. Lou Dort I'm seeing he's out If he's in,
25:18
I like him, but I'm seeing he's out. Uh. If he's
25:21
out, I like s g A. But he's another spind up. But
25:23
obviously you can only play some of these spin ups. My favorite play of
25:26
the game would be Chet Holmgren though, and that might be the extent of
25:30
it, because I am seeing that Lou Dort is out. Someone in the
25:33
UH chat can can let us know, but i'd be it'd be Homegren s
25:38
g A and then and then Josh Giddy wouldkind of be the three where I
25:41
go tonight. Yeah, no, excellent breakdown. I do like s g
25:45
A quite a bit. If you can't get up to that eleven five,
25:48
like the the Yolkic's, the the Lucas, the beads of the world,
25:55
I think going up to ten six s g A here he checks out pretty
25:57
good in this spot here. It is obviously okay. See he's favored by
26:03
twelve here, so little risk for a blowout there, But I don't factor
26:06
that in too much. I mean, if it blows out, it's definitely
26:08
likely on the back of SGA here, So really like SG in this spot
26:14
on the Utah side, if John Collins misses, you could see some more
26:19
run for guys like your at seven here Kelly OLYNNOK could get a little bump
26:25
other guys like Fontacillo Agbaji maybe, but hard to know right now with the
26:32
news he is still questionable. But that's thirty to thirty five minutes that would
26:37
be up for grabs in a lot of usage there if John Collins does sit
26:40
in this spot, so definitely have to monitor that. Let's jump me into
26:44
the next game here, Minnesota and the Pelicans in this one. Two twenty
26:49
three is the total three point spread here in Minnesota favored by three. Anthony
26:53
Edwards questionable, Jada McDaniel's questionable in this one. Again. Minnesota, I
26:59
believe is the defensive team in the league so far this season. Not a
27:02
ton of interest for me in this one. I think it's going to be
27:04
a real life, good, good basketball game here. But we care about
27:07
dfs, we care about under priced spots, injury spots. I'm seeing no
27:12
place for me for this one. Do you agree? Yep? Thirteen games
27:18
slate just int just turn into a twelve game slate. I'm with you on
27:21
that one, all right, excellent, Let's move on talking about Chicago and
27:26
Milwaukee here, another stud on this slate. Obviously, thirteen games brings all
27:32
the studs into play. Here. You got Yannis at home here against the
27:34
Bulls. I'm pretty sure Yannis has pretty solid history against the Bulls for whatever
27:40
that means, if you want to take it for what it is. But
27:44
two thirty four is the total here in this one, Milwaukee eleven point favorites.
27:48
I believe here you got a pretty much fully healthy Milwaukee team. Got
27:52
some questionable takes Caruso, Patrick Williams on the Bulls side. Where are you
27:59
going in this one? And they got Vucevic and and Giannis look look like
28:02
decent plays off the top, But again it's another stud argument here, and
28:07
Milwaukee's fully healthy. Here, you still got Dame there at ninety four.
28:11
Tame time in Milwaukee. Where you're going in this one? Milwaukee Chicago?
28:17
Yeah, I mean, obviously you can play Giannis the Greek freak anytime.
28:19
I think I'm gonna go other places tonight. Just from the reports I'm seeing
28:23
you may not get a full workload. And I just like some other spind
28:26
ups better. But my favorite Buck, I think the Bucks roll the Bulls.
28:32
It's gonna be bro Low, Brock Lopez, I like. I like
28:33
Brock Lopez tonight is one of my favorite favorite Bucks versus this Chicago team.
28:38
On the flip side, if Patrick Williams plays at fifty seven hundred, I
28:44
really like Patrick Williams tonight small forward power forward eligible has been playing well the
28:48
last couple of games, and so I like him at that price tag.
28:53
Milwaukee is so good that they have so many mouths to feed so many good
28:57
players. It's almost kind of like the chiefs of of the NBA. It's
29:02
it's outside of Giannis, you know, it's tough to kind of pick and
29:04
who's gonna have a good night. So God would take Brolo and then Patrick
29:07
Williams to kind of be the extent of it for me in this game.
29:11
Yeah, really not a ton of interest here. I do like that Brook
29:14
Lopez play a little bit as an unknown center play at sixty five hundred.
29:18
Obviously centers loaded on the slate, especially when you when you take a guy
29:22
like Isaiah hartenstein Wright who's kind of thrust it in a bunch of minutes due
29:26
to the mitrob Injurst injury. Excuse me there, so Brook Lopez, But
29:30
overall, I think this game is the past for me. Again, Bucks
29:34
fully healthy, large spread Bucks should be able to handle the Bulls here pretty
29:38
easily. So pretty much another cross off spot for me. Let's jump into
29:44
this next game here, which should be a pretty good one here, Houston,
29:48
San Antonio to twenty six is the total in this one. Pace up
29:52
spot a little bit here for Houston. Houston eight point favorites here San Antonio.
30:00
You got se Goon, who's again another center popping off the plage here
30:03
gets a great, great match up here against the Spurs. Centers against the
30:07
Spurs have crushed uh and then Victor Webbebiyama has been playing out of his freaking
30:11
mind. Here are you going back to Wembam here at eight eight? I
30:15
mean that price point is very very nice on him. You got Fred van
30:18
Vliet on the other side, se Goon. I think this game is pretty
30:22
juicy from a DFS perspective. What do you see here? Yeah, I'm
30:27
a little bit different than you on this. I don't the Spurs. I
30:33
mean, obviously they're they're they're they're not very good. They've lost i don't
30:34
know what fifteen sixteen in a row. They're just tough to tough to predict.
30:40
I mean I like Fred van Vliet over on on Fandel, where he's
30:42
got a much better price. I mean the Spurs are bad against centers,
30:45
they're bad against point guards just as well. So FVV I'm down with FVV
30:51
tonight. I don't mind him, especially on Fandel. I think he's a
30:52
better play over there. And then Seng Goon is and you said it,
30:56
he's played out of his mind this year. But center position is so loaded.
31:00
I mean you can play what at most two on on on draft Kings
31:06
and if you you know, if you get one that's power forward centeology,
31:07
I guess you could play three theoretically, but only one on Fandel. So
31:11
it's gonna be tough. And although I do like sim Goon, I think
31:15
this game plays slower and lower than some of the other spots that we want
31:21
to hit. So I'll be off of Simngoon that I think is a great
31:22
play, but I'm want to I like other centers, and then Fred van
31:26
Vliet would be my preference over on Fandel. Uh, you know, great
31:32
price over there, and like I said, Spurs can't guard the point guard
31:34
position. Wimby I'm okay with. I will not have any winby on my
31:37
main team tonight. Yeah, I think this, uh. I do have
31:41
a little bit more interested seams than than you do in this spot. But
31:45
again, basically both these teams fully healthy, right, so their price points
31:49
are basically pretty fair for for the statuses of the team. Fred van Vliet
31:56
eight three I think is my favorite, uh favorite Houston play again, Sangoon,
32:00
I would love him, but he's up to almost nine k right,
32:02
eighty nine hundred ad a loaded center position on the slate. I really like
32:06
embiid. You got the value with Hartenstein already, so it's gonna be tough
32:09
to get to a guy like Sannggoon. So, I mean, it is
32:13
a decent game here. I do do think it is fine, but it's
32:17
gonna be hard to fit some of these plays, I think, just because
32:21
right both these teams pretty much fully healthy. Here. Not one of the
32:24
best totals. We got some totals up up approaching two fifty right on the
32:28
slate, which obviously definitely are are more trigguering than this spot here. Something
32:34
in the next game here Brooklyn and Sacramento we got this one, and then
32:37
the Clippers the last game. This one is a two thirty six, so
32:39
pretty good total. Here just the four point spread in this one Sacramento favored
32:45
by four Darren Fox. Here is it a Fox time for you? You
32:49
got Fox or some bonus? Right? You got both of them there.
32:51
Malik Monk is questionable obviously. If he misses, that helps out Fox,
32:53
helps out Keegan Murray, Kevin Hurder a little bit. And then on the
32:59
next side you got Dinwitty, you got mcal Bridges. Where are you going
33:01
in this one? Sacramento Brooklyn? Yeah? Spread uh as closely as it
33:13
is. I think the Kings, I mean, I just feel this way
33:15
that are much better than Brooklyn. But maybe I'm wrong with that and that
33:19
fact. I mean, yeah, obviously the news on Monk is huge.
33:22
If he's out, that does bump up harder, That does bump up Fox
33:24
in my opinion. So if Monk misses, I would have Fox over Sabonis
33:30
tonight. It's it's so tough to play those guys because they're expensive and they
33:35
just kind of eat up each other. I know we've gone back and forth
33:37
on that on this show several times. Uh. I don't mind Fox obviously
33:40
a good, you know, real life basketball player, but uh, I
33:45
will probably be under on this game. Non six for Fox is kind of
33:49
pricey, and then Sabona is non seven. It's just tough to play those
33:52
guys. And then on the other side, I'll be I'll be lower than
33:55
than than than most on that as well. I mean, Bridges, Dinwitty,
34:00
you know, Thomas Claxton, Cameron Johnson, They're just all kind of
34:04
priced in there together, and they all just kind of seem to have fifteen
34:06
points every single night. So I'm gonna be off Brooklyn, and then depending
34:09
on what Monk does, will determine whether I take Fox or Hurder. Yeah,
34:15
I don't mind mcl bridges in this game as a contrarian, kind of
34:19
mid tier spend. I mean, outside of the last game against Washington,
34:21
he was nuken right, crushed, Orlando crushed, Atlanta was playing pretty good.
34:25
Right, He's gonna get just thirty five to thirty eight minutes here.
34:29
I don't hate him, Cam Thomas seventy one hundred, he's been awful.
34:36
I don't think he can go to him. So for me, it's probably
34:38
mcal Bridges in this game, and that's about it. Obviously, If Fox
34:43
miss or if Monk missus might increase my owner or my interest a little bit
34:46
in dearon Fox. But with both him and sa Bonus Price right next to
34:51
each other, they just it's hard for them both to hit their ceiling here.
34:54
So I'm kind of with you a little bit under on this game.
34:58
These late night games really aren't that aren't that tasty? So I mean,
35:01
you got the whole slate lock in two hours before these last two games.
35:05
Obviously got NFL on the TV tonight too. It might be an early night
35:10
here for me, might might be locking in my lineups early, and just
35:13
hope these last two games don't don't go there or don't don't pop off from
35:17
a DFS perspective. But let's jump into this last game of the night here
35:22
tied for the lowest total massive spread here again Clippers thirteen point favorites here at
35:28
home two twenty is the total from an injury standpoint, DeAndre Ayton's questionable,
35:32
Malcolm Brogden's questionable. So obviously, if Malcolm Brogden misses again, you got
35:37
Anthony Simon's play right as a late night hammer who should continue to chuck if
35:42
Brogden is not out there? Obviously twenty seven attempts twenty one attempts in the
35:45
last two games. He's taken twenty three three point attempts as well since since
35:50
Brogden's been out. Touch on that but again last night to the or last
35:54
game of the slate. Not going to have this news before these other games
35:58
lock. And you're kind of on an island here between this game and the
36:01
Brooklyn Sacramento game, touching this one where you going, Yeah, this game
36:08
is kind of like that last game is just I just don't know who to
36:10
take. You know, you got so many mouths to feed on that Clipper
36:14
side, you know, Zubach I think is fine. Then obviously like the
36:17
Big Three, you could play any of those guys, but I'm just not
36:21
gonna have them on my main team. I think if you're doing you know,
36:22
twenty plus lineups, they're fine, but I'm gonna be lower lower on
36:28
them than than maybe most And then Portland is not a good basketball team,
36:32
you know what I'm I'll probably won't have anybody. Just looking at the players,
36:37
I probably won't have anybody in this game unless some value pops late.
36:40
If you know, if Brogden and or eight and sent then you make it
36:45
in you know Grant's already out. You may get somebody that's cheap that you
36:49
could plug in there if you need it, you know, needed some money.
36:51
But I'm gonna be lower on this game than than maybe most. Yeah,
36:54
I don't like this game of ton Maybe at Zubac right, fifty nine
36:58
hundred is a low owned center as a late night hammer. I think if
37:04
Brogdon does miss, you can play Anthony Simons, but again hard to uh,
37:07
hard to know that he's still questionable with that knee. DeAndre Ayton's questionable.
37:10
So both of those myths definitely gives a boost to to Moni Kamara there
37:15
and Anthony Simon are going to be the two beneficiars the most I believe from
37:20
those two guys there. Kamara at four point eight k Simons at seven point
37:24
eight k would be my two preferred guys. Chris Murray at three point four
37:28
k's of value. You could see him get some extra run as well if
37:32
those guys remain out. He's gotten twenty one and eighteen minutes last two.
37:37
But I think there's better values on this slate personally, So overall kind of
37:40
under on this game. That's all thirteen games obviously It's pretty much an early
37:46
game slate for me here tonight. A lot of these early games are are
37:50
pretty juicy, so my ninety of my rosters are going to be locked from
37:54
uh, from these this this first hour basically of Locke, what's your what's
38:00
take on that? And then any closing remarks before we get on out of
38:01
here. Yeah, and I think I do think it should be a good
38:06
slate, right, you got uh, you know, four or five of
38:08
the best players playing the night, and obviously on the thirteen game slate most
38:13
some more, but you know, big boy price sact, it's gonna be
38:15
who you know, You're gonna have to get that one right, and then
38:17
you know, find the value in there. I think there is a lot
38:20
of value us building some teams. As we were talking back and forth,
38:23
a lot of cheap centers tonights. I think for me, I'm gonna have
38:27
you know, at least two centers on my team and uh, you know,
38:29
hope to shoot up the leader board and hopefully this uh, this Grizzlies
38:32
and MAVs game goes into quadruple overtime. Yeah, quadruple overtime. There you'll
38:37
be in attendance. That'll be good. There is some good plays. Beat
38:40
Buffalo wild Wings, hitting up Buffalo wild Wings, buzzer, keep over to
38:45
right exactly exactly. No, I think it's uh I think it's an interesting
38:49
slate here. It's definitely a two center slate for me. I love embiid,
38:52
I love I mean Hartenstein's a good play. I think that's heart and
38:55
Stein is definitely gonna be chalk there. But uh over, I think it's
39:00
