- 0:05Speaker 1: Fall system Stone clear the left of what's going on?
- 0:37Speaker 2: Everybody, Happy Tuesday with my man Rio talking some hoops.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Six games on DraftKings, seven games on FanDuel. They are
- 0:45Speaker 2: including the ten pm Eastern Utah Jazz and Clippers game.
- 0:48Speaker 1: You can see that on the stone.
- 0:50Speaker 2: We'll be talking the six games on DraftKings, though you
- 0:53Speaker 2: can see I always look right away. Start time seven
- 0:55Speaker 2: Eastern to nine eastern two hours and the main slate
- 0:59Speaker 2: will be done a couple of different lock times in
- 1:01Speaker 2: their rio.
- 1:02Speaker 1: How we doing with your.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Thoughts on this late and the big five dollars one
- 1:06Speaker 2: hundred k to first, I know not your favorite, but hey,
- 1:09Speaker 2: anytime someone has a chance to turn five dollars into
- 1:12Speaker 2: one hundred k, that's pretty cool. Seventy one thousand innutes.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Vandal's got a solid I leave five dollars contests as well,
- 1:17Speaker 2: So prides are good. With NBA the only thing in
- 1:20Speaker 2: town pretty much, NHL won't forget about NHL. Actually, I
- 1:23Speaker 2: do think they have a good three to sixty tournament
- 1:26Speaker 2: today that people had to collect a lot of tickets.
- 1:28Speaker 2: So hey, I know you won one hundred k once
- 1:30Speaker 2: in hockey. I know I swung this a lot of ways.
- 1:31Speaker 2: But you're gonna dabble in the hockey streets and NBA
- 1:34Speaker 2: tonight or just NBA.
- 1:36Speaker 3: No, just NBA usually just I have like an annual
- 1:40Speaker 3: one or two year slate where I jump in NHL.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Definitely just lean on Naids and all his content. He
- 1:47Speaker 3: does a great job over there. But yet it showed
- 1:49Speaker 3: this slate looks pretty solid. A couple games that are
- 1:52Speaker 3: pretty intriguing, a lot of injury news, typical January slates.
- 1:56Speaker 3: I'm excited to talk through it with you. Excited about
- 1:58Speaker 3: my Patriots going back to Super Bowl where they belong.
- 2:01Speaker 1: A good day over here.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't got much more to that. That hurt
- 2:05Speaker 2: me in my pockets, but it was a good football game. Yeah,
- 2:09Speaker 2: we'll go through game my game. We'll talk about our
- 2:10Speaker 2: favorite pump plays for sure. Rio also does the slate
- 2:13Speaker 2: plan over here at Chip Nation that has broken down
- 2:15Speaker 2: into upper tier, mid tier, lower tier, NBA slave plan,
- 2:19Speaker 2: and you can see does a phenomenal job.
- 2:21Speaker 1: We have the seven days a week, we have the
- 2:23Speaker 1: Core reports, seven days a week.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Matt Rio Ham, I'm on the Cash Report, DVP rankings.
- 2:28Speaker 1: This is new.
- 2:29Speaker 2: We've talked about a couple of times on here and
- 2:31Speaker 2: I mentioned yesterday awesome stuff. So he did the season
- 2:34Speaker 2: long just like the full season numbers and people wanted
- 2:37Speaker 2: the last two weeks, which I do think is important.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Helped us get on Donovan Mitchell. We talked about him
- 2:42Speaker 2: on the show at length yesterday and was there in
- 2:44Speaker 2: the last two weeks and for the year, so that
- 2:47Speaker 2: was a cool addition to our NBA stuff. You can
- 2:50Speaker 2: also find more education NBA if you want to watch
- 2:54Speaker 2: two hours us me Hooped Hambo breaking down some NBA.
- 2:57Speaker 1: A lot of content over here.
- 2:59Speaker 2: Can get in as low nine bucks that includes sabersim
- 3:02Speaker 2: includes all of our content except Discord. That's one day,
- 3:06Speaker 2: four more days only ten more dollars you can use
- 3:09Speaker 2: as well. Get you Discord and gets you PGA access
- 3:12Speaker 2: that lacks Thursday morning. Also gets you MMA, UFC three
- 3:15Speaker 2: twenty five Big Boy Prize is out there. We'd love
- 3:18Speaker 2: to have you again. Nineteen dollars for five days is
- 3:20Speaker 2: the best deal.
- 3:22Speaker 1: What's going on?
- 3:22Speaker 2: Go collect Sean Gane, Green, Jordan, Mighty, Naten, Rodney, Jose,
- 3:27Speaker 2: Marcus Torn Jordan. Great to see all of you. I
- 3:31Speaker 2: did the same thing season long, adapted to two weeks
- 3:33Speaker 2: towards the end rio. What do you think on that?
- 3:35Speaker 2: Do you wait the last two weeks more than season
- 3:40Speaker 2: due to injuries and stuff like that, and just how
- 3:42Speaker 2: streaky the.
- 3:43Speaker 1: NBA can be. Do you think you should be using both?
- 3:45Speaker 1: What's your thoughts? Yeah, I think you definitely should be
- 3:48Speaker 1: using both.
- 3:48Speaker 3: I don't wait it more than season long, though, But
- 3:51Speaker 3: I think it's like the context matters a little bit
- 3:53Speaker 3: more like the I think one in particular, the Kings,
- 3:57Speaker 3: their team that's beginning with a ton of big stat
- 3:59Speaker 3: lines opposing centers all year long, but they're a completely
- 4:03Speaker 3: different defense with Sabonis on the court. So it's just
- 4:06Speaker 3: something you have to know, and like it's just a
- 4:09Speaker 3: piece of the puzzle, is not everything. I think that
- 4:10Speaker 3: the context matters a lot more.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that makes a lot of sense for sure.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Any broad slid overview, any initial thoughts, some important Q
- 4:18Speaker 2: tags I'll mention when we go game by game, but
- 4:20Speaker 2: anything before we go game by game.
- 4:25Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
- 4:25Speaker 3: I feel like there's a lot of a lot of
- 4:28Speaker 3: drama going on in the NBA right now, a lot
- 4:29Speaker 3: of trade talk. Just saw some I've been seeing a
- 4:32Speaker 3: lot of mock trades for the Knicks. The last couple
- 4:35Speaker 3: of days about Drew Holliday kind of centered around there
- 4:38Speaker 3: and getting rid of kar Anthony Towns something like that.
- 4:41Speaker 3: So I don't know, I don't know what's gonna happen.
- 4:43Speaker 3: A lot of times these these trades don't ever end
- 4:46Speaker 3: up materializing. But I could see there's gonna be some
- 4:50Speaker 3: big trades that go down before the trade deadline for sure.
- 4:52Speaker 3: As I'm just wondering, I'm curious on who it's gonna.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Be that Gianni goes.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Uh.
- 4:58Speaker 3: It sounded like they're just gonna wait till the end
- 5:00Speaker 3: of the season or until the offseason to trade him.
- 5:02Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know.
- 5:04Speaker 3: I feel like they're playing a little bit of chicken.
- 5:05Speaker 3: Like Giannis doesn't want to be the one to say
- 5:07Speaker 3: that he wants to go, but he wants. He probably
- 5:10Speaker 3: wants to go, and they just I don't know. He
- 5:12Speaker 3: kind of wants the Bucks to do it, is what
- 5:13Speaker 3: I'm what I'm thinking, What about you as a Milwaukee guy.
- 5:16Speaker 2: The historian of Milwaukee guys saying that, I mean, I
- 5:19Speaker 2: think it just has to get done at some point.
- 5:21Speaker 2: I don't think the calf injury is great, but like
- 5:24Speaker 2: four people wanted to trade for him. But I mean,
- 5:26Speaker 2: if you're in in win now mode, if you're the Bucks,
- 5:30Speaker 2: just get as much as you can. I mean, when
- 5:31Speaker 2: the timing closes and stuff and teams want to win
- 5:34Speaker 2: and like, try and try and get as much as
- 5:35Speaker 2: you can. If you wait for the off season, you
- 5:37Speaker 2: can get what you think better. Sure, but at this
- 5:39Speaker 2: point I think the Bucks and Giannis unfortunately have.
- 5:42Speaker 1: To separate ways.
- 5:44Speaker 2: As bad as it is, you see any big moves
- 5:46Speaker 2: for the Celtics, it's the last one.
- 5:48Speaker 1: We'll do before we go game by game.
- 5:50Speaker 3: One thing I've heard of was Zubac earlier this season,
- 5:53Speaker 3: But I don't know if the Clippers are really inclined
- 5:55Speaker 3: to move somebody when they kind of need to win
- 5:57Speaker 3: to hold onto that pick. So I'm not sure who
- 5:59Speaker 3: would be available. They've been linked to Walker Kessler. I
- 6:02Speaker 3: don't think that they're going to trade for a guy
- 6:03Speaker 3: that's injured the whole season.
- 6:05Speaker 1: So we'll see.
- 6:06Speaker 3: I've heard the same thing that they do on a
- 6:07Speaker 3: trade for a big I just don't know who's available really.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Maybe Nurkic, Yeah, nurk it's been playing good ball. What's up, Josh,
- 6:14Speaker 1: what's up? Deacon, what's up? What's up?
- 6:16Speaker 2: Mister Mike's daddy. Appreciate everyone hanging out. Time to get
- 6:19Speaker 2: into this late again. Six games we're talking about on DraftKings.
- 6:22Speaker 2: First game of the night on an Island at seven
- 6:24Speaker 2: Eastern Portland Trailblazers and the Washington Wizards six and that point.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Favorites are the Trailblazers two thirty two and a half
- 6:30Speaker 2: total on the Portland side, Danny Abdya is questionable and
- 6:34Speaker 2: Robert Williams is questionable.
- 6:35Speaker 1: The same Q takes as yesterday.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Avia did end up missing, Robert Williams played for the
- 6:41Speaker 2: Washington side or no Bagley and then Chris Middleton is questionable.
- 6:47Speaker 1: Just looking at ownership in this.
- 6:48Speaker 2: First game, a couple guys getting a decent amount and
- 6:51Speaker 2: that's coming on the Washington side. So yeah, I'll let
- 6:53Speaker 2: you take it away. I don't think it's one we
- 6:56Speaker 2: can ignore Washington Portland.
- 6:58Speaker 1: What do you see?
- 6:59Speaker 3: Yeah, this is definitely the best game environment on the slate.
- 7:02Speaker 3: I would think it has the second highest over under
- 7:04Speaker 3: the first one is okay see in New Orleans. Although okay,
- 7:08Speaker 3: so he's gonna be holding up most of that over
- 7:10Speaker 3: under there. So this one has the most likely outcome
- 7:13Speaker 3: of being close and high scoring, so definitely one you
- 7:16Speaker 3: gotta make a decision on. But there's a lot of
- 7:19Speaker 3: players getting a lot of ownership, so it's kind of
- 7:21Speaker 3: I don't know, your night could be dictated pretty early
- 7:24Speaker 3: on depending on how this game goes, but I definitely
- 7:25Speaker 3: don't think that it's one you can't avoid. Portland is
- 7:28Speaker 3: on a back to back, so we have to see
- 7:30Speaker 3: what they do with their injury reporting. But it did
- 7:31Speaker 3: sound like the Tiagus splitter is pretty comfortable or confident
- 7:35Speaker 3: that Denny would be back tonight. He had the back injury,
- 7:39Speaker 3: I believe over the weekend and then he even said
- 7:41Speaker 3: that he was going to play on Sunday, didn't end
- 7:43Speaker 3: up playing, and then or I don't know what day was,
- 7:45Speaker 3: but they said he was going to play over the weekend,
- 7:48Speaker 3: end up missing the next two games, So we'll see.
- 7:50Speaker 3: I think that he's gonna be back. Definitely want to.
- 7:52Speaker 3: I'm sure he wants to play against his old team,
- 7:54Speaker 3: team that traded him away when he was still really young,
- 7:56Speaker 3: so it's a little bit of a revenge narrative there.
- 8:00Speaker 3: But yeah, I think this is gonna be a game
- 8:02Speaker 3: I get a lot of ownership on I think the
- 8:04Speaker 3: Portland side is pretty interesting. I also would expect Robert
- 8:07Speaker 3: Williams to miss this game. He just generally doesn't really
- 8:10Speaker 3: play a lot in back to backs, and I think
- 8:13Speaker 3: that they definitely wanted to play him last night against
- 8:14Speaker 3: his old team as well, So I think he's probably out,
- 8:17Speaker 3: probably getting a little bit of Hanson Yang into the lineup.
- 8:22Speaker 3: We'll see what they do there. So this first game
- 8:23Speaker 3: of the slates we'll have that new is nice and early,
- 8:26Speaker 3: but Washington playing pretty good or playing better, a little
- 8:31Speaker 3: bit more competitive as I've laid. Their defense is a
- 8:33Speaker 3: little bit better, not as big as a room final
- 8:35Speaker 3: Gasar is improving on the defensive end, but they're still
- 8:37Speaker 3: dead last and rebounding, and that bodes well for Portland.
- 8:41Speaker 3: Here their top three in offensive rebound in the season,
- 8:43Speaker 3: donovmc clingan the fourth or really the second best offensive
- 8:46Speaker 3: rebound you take away Steven Adams at Walker Kessler, who
- 8:48Speaker 3: have been out for most.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Of the year.
- 8:50Speaker 3: He's second in the league in offensive rebounding rate. The
- 8:55Speaker 3: Wizards are bottom three and transition as well. Blace is
- 8:57Speaker 3: one of the top transition scoring the offenses, so lots
- 9:00Speaker 3: of like here Denny in about a revenge spot against
- 9:03Speaker 3: his old team.
- 9:04Speaker 1: I think that he's a pretty good option.
- 9:05Speaker 3: He will be guarded by blow Kolibali, but there's a
- 9:07Speaker 3: chance with Koolibali making his return to the lineup after
- 9:11Speaker 3: a pretty lengthy injury absence that he's somewhat limited, so
- 9:14Speaker 3: he should get pretty I had enough minutes from Denny
- 9:17Speaker 3: away from Kooli Bali for it not to matter as much,
- 9:20Speaker 3: and I think that if Danny plays, he's probably closer
- 9:22Speaker 3: to full been out for a while and they sounded
- 9:25Speaker 3: confident in him returning. So I like Denny a lot here.
- 9:27Speaker 3: I think he's got a ton of upside. Been scoring
- 9:29Speaker 3: really well as of late. Shandon Sharp I was just
- 9:32Speaker 3: looking at the numbers before he started the show, but
- 9:34Speaker 3: he hasn't played more than thirty four minutes in a
- 9:36Speaker 3: back to back and really been held in like the
- 9:38Speaker 3: low thirties to up or twenties in most of the games.
- 9:41Speaker 1: He's still produced pretty well.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Only really had one bad game against the Spurs earlier
- 9:46Speaker 3: this month where he put up fourteen DK points. But
- 9:51Speaker 3: I do have interest in him at low ownership because
- 9:52Speaker 3: it's a really good spot for him he'll be avoiding Kolibali,
- 9:56Speaker 3: probably be guarded by Kishon George. He's an okay defender,
- 9:59Speaker 3: not great.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I still think that there's some website hint for
- 10:02Speaker 2: Shadan Sharp here against a really bad transition defense and
- 10:06Speaker 2: coming off of a game where he just shot out
- 10:08Speaker 2: really poorly, I think that he could bounce back in
- 10:09Speaker 2: a pretty big way. So I like Sharp, I definitely
- 10:12Speaker 2: Likedny Moore, and then Clinging, I think is another guy
- 10:15Speaker 2: that's definitely on my radar. He's only seven K, which
- 10:18Speaker 2: is I mean, that's kind of expensive for him, considering
- 10:20Speaker 2: he's not playing a ton of minutes, but the matchup
- 10:22Speaker 2: is great. The Wizards is still one of the worst
- 10:24Speaker 2: teams against centers fantasy points allowed wise, and he's the
- 10:29Speaker 2: second best offensive rebounding center in the entire league. So
- 10:32Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of ways that he could
- 10:34Speaker 2: really put up a big style line, even against a
- 10:35Speaker 2: team like Boston who's pretty solid at rebounding. He went
- 10:38Speaker 2: for fifteen rebounds in that one, a ton of offensive rebounds.
- 10:41Speaker 3: I like Clinging a good bit here. At seven K,
- 10:43Speaker 3: I think he's got a ton of upside. That's where
- 10:45Speaker 3: it cuts off for me. I don't think I want
- 10:47Speaker 3: to pay these price tags for two money. Kamara six
- 10:50Speaker 3: point seven k's a lot six point one for Drew
- 10:52Speaker 3: on a back to back, still not playing full, not
- 10:55Speaker 3: really excited about that. And then Jimmy Grant is also
- 10:57Speaker 3: on a minute limit as well, So I think that
- 10:59Speaker 3: it's just those times three guys for me on the Blazers,
- 11:02Speaker 3: and then the Wizard's side. Definitely agree with the ownership
- 11:05Speaker 3: on sar Kishon George and Trey Johnson. I think all
- 11:07Speaker 3: those guys should get a ton and the Wizards are
- 11:11Speaker 3: really running a tight rotation right now. They've been leaning
- 11:15Speaker 3: into these guys for a ton of minutes. So if
- 11:16Speaker 3: you told me over the last two games that Sorrow
- 11:19Speaker 3: will be playing thirty six and thirty seven minutes, he
- 11:22Speaker 3: would be a potential lock candidate. I'm not saying that
- 11:25Speaker 3: he is tonight, but I just those are like the
- 11:27Speaker 3: most minutes he's played all season long in regulation, and
- 11:30Speaker 3: he had two of his worst games, only what thirty
- 11:33Speaker 3: five and thirty four Fantasy points over those two games,
- 11:37Speaker 3: And I was looking at the numbers over the last
- 11:39Speaker 3: or He's top thirty minutes in eight games this season
- 11:42Speaker 3: is averaging forty three and a half DK points, So
- 11:45Speaker 3: those are two of his worst games while playing thirty
- 11:47Speaker 3: plus minutes. I really think that he's a great option.
- 11:50Speaker 3: Seven point two K going to be heavy overweight him
- 11:52Speaker 3: in that five dollars tournament. Kishawn George seeing a pretty
- 11:56Speaker 3: big role increase over the last six games. His involvement percentage,
- 12:00Speaker 3: which is basically a combination of like usage and touch
- 12:02Speaker 3: time and just how involved he has an offense, has
- 12:06Speaker 3: jumped from thirty three percent up to forty three and
- 12:08Speaker 3: a half percent. He has a really big increase to
- 12:10Speaker 3: his potential assist and his rebounding rates. So I think
- 12:13Speaker 3: that him being in great for him against the Blazers,
- 12:16Speaker 3: which I forgot to mention their dead last and pick
- 12:17Speaker 3: and roll defense. Kishon George is their best pick and
- 12:20Speaker 3: role scorer with CJ McCallum out now, So I like him.
- 12:24Speaker 1: I don't know if I like him more than Sar,
- 12:26Speaker 1: but it's like a one.
- 12:27Speaker 3: A, one B type situation there, and then Trey Johnson
- 12:30Speaker 3: is just too cheap to overlook for how many minutes
- 12:32Speaker 3: he's playing right now, He'll be in the starting lineup
- 12:34Speaker 3: regardless if Kolbal is in there or not. Coming off
- 12:37Speaker 3: of a career high twenty six points six threes in
- 12:40Speaker 3: that game, just under price for how many minutes, and
- 12:43Speaker 3: how good he's playing an offense right now. So I
- 12:45Speaker 3: really think that he's probably the best value playing the slate.
- 12:49Speaker 3: And then we got to talk about like bub Carrington,
- 12:51Speaker 3: if he's still starting. I think he's interesting because he
- 12:55Speaker 3: has the potential to play a ton of minutes. They've
- 12:57Speaker 3: really been fine letting him play like forty minutes at times,
- 13:00Speaker 3: even in blowouts. I think that he'd be an interesting option.
- 13:04Speaker 3: That's probably it, though I don't think that Champagne should
- 13:06Speaker 3: be getting double digit ownership. I don't think that Middleton
- 13:09Speaker 3: is somebody I'm really looking to. And then definitely not
- 13:11Speaker 3: unquote bally coming off the injury.
- 13:14Speaker 2: How much does the Middleton Q take due to some
- 13:16Speaker 2: of these guys, I mean, they're already looking to be
- 13:18Speaker 2: strong plays. It just makes them all just way better,
- 13:21Speaker 2: harder to get away from.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think that would make Champagne a
- 13:25Speaker 3: little bit better too at five K, But I think
- 13:29Speaker 3: that the I'd have to see what the starting lineup
- 13:31Speaker 3: looks like because I'm just not too sure what they're
- 13:33Speaker 3: gonna do with Coolibali, But yeah, it would definitely improve
- 13:37Speaker 3: the outlook of basically all those guys, and probably Lucky
- 13:39Speaker 3: in will Riley for a little bit more minutes as well.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Man, this game it's on an island. The first game.
- 13:46Speaker 2: There's important injury news, but you definitely can't get away.
- 13:48Speaker 2: I mean, it's not sneaky on the Wizard side at all,
- 13:51Speaker 2: but you talked up the Portland.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Side a lot.
- 13:53Speaker 2: I don't necessarily know if this ownership is going to
- 13:55Speaker 2: hold true, but they're not gonna be owned. I mean,
- 13:58Speaker 2: even if it is a couple of percent stuff like
- 14:00Speaker 2: point per dollar, they don't grade out very good, and
- 14:03Speaker 2: you made a case for a lot of these guys.
- 14:05Speaker 1: Obdy would be my favorite.
- 14:07Speaker 2: I like the little revenge narrative, but I mean Obdy
- 14:10Speaker 2: is always a guy I enjoy playing, assuming he does play. Obviously,
- 14:14Speaker 2: if he doesn't, then the sharp Man drew yesterday. He
- 14:17Speaker 2: looked pretty good against Boston. He was in some pull ups,
- 14:22Speaker 2: playing the d like he always does. Yeah, i'd be
- 14:24Speaker 2: interested to see if he he gets traded to the Knicks.
- 14:27Speaker 2: I think that'd be a pretty solid move for him,
- 14:28Speaker 2: But I don't know if I can play him today
- 14:30Speaker 2: in dfs, clinging sharp Obdiya though all low owned, and
- 14:33Speaker 2: their runbacks to popular Washington pieces. So I like it.
- 14:37Speaker 2: You spent a lot of time on that game. Not
- 14:40Speaker 2: sure how much time on this game. New York Knicks
- 14:42Speaker 2: and the Sacramento Kings fourteen at point favorites of the
- 14:45Speaker 2: Knicks two twenty five and a half total on the
- 14:48Speaker 2: Sacramento side. No Zach Lavine, no Malik Monk, no injuries
- 14:52Speaker 2: to note on the Knick side. There's a couple of
- 14:55Speaker 2: big spreads in this one. This and the OKC Pelicans
- 14:58Speaker 2: both fourteen and a half, but a lot of eight
- 15:01Speaker 2: and a halfs, nine and a halfs. I mean, yeah,
- 15:03Speaker 2: it's a lot of big spreads on this slate. So
- 15:05Speaker 2: what do you see in this one?
- 15:07Speaker 3: Yeah, Knicks coming off of two pretty big wins, had
- 15:10Speaker 3: the massive blowout against Brooklyn and then just coming off
- 15:13Speaker 3: of win against Philly. A really weird game for them though,
- 15:16Speaker 3: I was looking at the just like the rotations, Kat
- 15:19Speaker 3: got into a ton of foul trouble, only played like
- 15:21Speaker 3: what sixteen minutes in that game. I think he fouled out.
- 15:25Speaker 3: Just a really bad game for him, But they got
- 15:28Speaker 3: the win, and that's all. That matters if you're a
- 15:29Speaker 3: Knicks fan. Should be a good spot for them. They
- 15:32Speaker 3: are second in offense over the last two weeks, or
- 15:35Speaker 3: over the last two games they were second in offensive rating. Obviously,
- 15:38Speaker 3: put a ton of points against Brooklyn, so that helps,
- 15:41Speaker 3: but should be a spot for them to continue to
- 15:44Speaker 3: put up some pretty good scores offensively against Sacramento their
- 15:47Speaker 3: bottom five in.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Defense over the last two weeks.
- 15:49Speaker 3: I do think that there is a small chance that
- 15:52Speaker 3: Sacramento can hang around here. The Knicks are on the
- 15:54Speaker 3: front end of a back to back and they play
- 15:56Speaker 3: Toronto tomorrow in Toronto. I definitely think that they would
- 16:00Speaker 3: rather have their guys playing full minutes against Toronto in
- 16:04Speaker 3: a game that matters a lot more versus the Kings
- 16:06Speaker 3: team that is not really competitive and not even in
- 16:08Speaker 3: their same conference. So definitely keep that in mind. But
- 16:12Speaker 3: I think there are some spots on the Kings that
- 16:15Speaker 3: look pretty interesting at pretty low ownership. But I'll talk
- 16:17Speaker 3: about the matchup stuff for the next It's the same
- 16:20Speaker 3: thing all year long. They're one of the worst three
- 16:22Speaker 3: point defenses and given up a lot of pick and roll.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Definitely getting better as of late, though the Kings are
- 16:28Speaker 3: dead last and offensive three point frequencies, so not really
- 16:31Speaker 3: a ton for them to attack. The Kings just don't
- 16:35Speaker 3: really take a lot of threes. They have a bunch
- 16:36Speaker 3: of guys that like to take mid range jumpers. Knicks
- 16:39Speaker 3: are one of the best teams that defending the mid range,
- 16:41Speaker 3: so I think that they really have all the advantages
- 16:44Speaker 3: in the game, so I definitely think they should be
- 16:46Speaker 3: favored as much as they are. Knicks are bottom two
- 16:49Speaker 3: in transition defense, but teams just aren't really getting a
- 16:52Speaker 3: ton of transition points against them, so I don't I
- 16:55Speaker 3: do think that they can run away with this one.
- 16:57Speaker 3: But the Kings King side I have in Sabonis at
- 17:01Speaker 3: eight point one K. He started last game, was trending
- 17:04Speaker 3: for around thirty two minutes, only played twenty five as
- 17:07Speaker 3: they got blown out. But he's really interesting as a
- 17:09Speaker 3: guy that's normally priced nine K plus gonna be guarded
- 17:12Speaker 3: by Kat, which brings a foul risk. But on the
- 17:14Speaker 3: other side, Kat is not very good at defending without
- 17:17Speaker 3: failing either. We've seen that Sabona still has the upside
- 17:20Speaker 3: that he's shown the past few seasons. Pen for twenty
- 17:24Speaker 3: four to sixteen and six against the Cavaliers, So I
- 17:27Speaker 3: think that he's pretty interesting in eight point one K
- 17:29Speaker 3: with the power forward eligibility. I think with Sabonis playing
- 17:33Speaker 3: more that hurts Russ. You want to see Russ when
- 17:36Speaker 3: he can get those triple doubles, and adding a guy
- 17:39Speaker 3: like Sabonis in there who's just such a good rebounder
- 17:41Speaker 3: takes away the rebounding upside, which kind of takes Russ
- 17:45Speaker 3: out of.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Play for me.
- 17:46Speaker 3: But I do think Dennis Schroeder is interesting at four
- 17:48Speaker 3: point seven K. With Lavigne and Milik monkout, that should
- 17:51Speaker 3: solidify him in the second unit as the lead ball
- 17:53Speaker 3: handler and probably getting more playing time alongside Russ as well.
- 17:59Speaker 1: He has a pretty solid role with.
- 18:00Speaker 3: Levin and Monk off the court of the season twenty
- 18:02Speaker 3: four percent usage rate, thirty eight percent assist percentage, one
- 18:05Speaker 3: point one to three fantasy points per minute, and the
- 18:07Speaker 3: Knicks are at bottom four pick and roll defense. It's
- 18:09Speaker 3: a pretty solid matchup for Dennis Schroeder as a I
- 18:12Speaker 3: mean he could be a pivot off of Trey Johnson
- 18:15Speaker 3: for twenty percent the ownership. Yeah, I like Schroeder a
- 18:20Speaker 3: good bit here, and the Nie Clifford should get in
- 18:22Speaker 3: the starting lineup. You're gonna need to play like thirty
- 18:24Speaker 3: five minutes for him to really hurt you for not
- 18:26Speaker 3: playing game. He's just such a bad permitive producer. I
- 18:29Speaker 3: think Dylan Cardwell is a guy that's kind of interesting.
- 18:31Speaker 3: They've been wanting to get him more minutes, and he's
- 18:33Speaker 3: been playing alongside Sabonis a little bit more. The Knicks
- 18:37Speaker 3: obviously have a ton of size when they do overlap.
- 18:39Speaker 3: Mitch Robin Katz. I think that you could get a
- 18:42Speaker 3: little bit more minutes out of Cardwell here. That's pretty
- 18:45Speaker 3: much it, though I don't think I want to get
- 18:46Speaker 3: to DeRozan. I guess it is kind of worth mentioning
- 18:49Speaker 3: last time the Kings the Knicks faced off when it
- 18:53Speaker 3: was that in the fourteenth Precious Actua played thirty nine
- 18:58Speaker 3: minutes in that game. Definitely a big revenge spot for him,
- 19:02Speaker 3: if you wanted to get into that type of thing,
- 19:05Speaker 3: and then the King.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Hurts the bonus eh or they have to share the
- 19:09Speaker 2: court and play the four and the five. I mean,
- 19:11Speaker 2: if they're gonna bump his minutes that much.
- 19:14Speaker 1: It would probably come from it would come at Cardivall.
- 19:17Speaker 2: I think, Okay, what did you mention anything about Clifford.
- 19:21Speaker 2: He's thirty three hundred is the only reason I asked.
- 19:23Speaker 2: I mean somewhat of a projection, but very low fantasy
- 19:26Speaker 2: point per minute guy. Yeah, he's like, you're gonna need
- 19:29Speaker 2: him to play like thirty five minutes for him to
- 19:31Speaker 2: really bury you for not playing him. I would prefer
- 19:33Speaker 2: to get away from him if the ownership got out
- 19:34Speaker 2: of hand, but I think that he's fine. Like in
- 19:37Speaker 2: single bunch of stuff where you just need to save salary.
- 19:39Speaker 2: He makes a lot of sense because he will start
- 19:41Speaker 2: projected to.
- 19:42Speaker 3: Play around like thirty minutes, which is that's a lot
- 19:45Speaker 3: for somebody that cheap. So I don't I don't hate it,
- 19:47Speaker 3: but definitely don't love it because I don't think that
- 19:49Speaker 3: he's going to really blow it away.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Makes sense.
- 19:53Speaker 3: And then yeah, the knick side Cat and Brunson, the
- 19:55Speaker 3: two guys I'm looking at here. Good spot for Brunson,
- 19:59Speaker 3: but he he's eight point seven k not cheap. I
- 20:01Speaker 3: really like the matchup. The Kings have been getting killed
- 20:04Speaker 3: against point guards as of late. But he's never really
- 20:07Speaker 3: a guy that's going to break a slate. I think
- 20:09Speaker 3: he puts up a really solid fantasy score like forty
- 20:11Speaker 3: eight is probably where I would put him, but I
- 20:15Speaker 3: don't know if you really have like the sixty plus
- 20:17Speaker 3: DK points that we need for somebody at that price,
- 20:20Speaker 3: so I won't get too overboard there. And then same
- 20:22Speaker 3: thing for Cat. If you looked at the DVP sheet,
- 20:25Speaker 3: we have him as one of the top players in
- 20:27Speaker 3: the slate. The Kings are a bottom five rebounding team
- 20:30Speaker 3: this season, but a lot of that data is without Sabonis.
- 20:34Speaker 3: Sabonis is looking healthy, should be playing thirty plus minutes.
- 20:37Speaker 3: He's an elite rebounders. I think that the rebounding upside
- 20:40Speaker 3: for sure. It takes a hit, but the Kings are
- 20:43Speaker 3: an all around worst defense with Sabonis on the court
- 20:45Speaker 3: the season, so it's still a fine matchup for Kat.
- 20:48Speaker 3: I just think that he's playing. I don't know, it's
- 20:50Speaker 3: just the range of outcomes is really scary right now.
- 20:53Speaker 3: Obviously always a guy that can get into foul trouble,
- 20:56Speaker 3: but he's kind of getting out played by mitchrob a
- 20:58Speaker 3: little bit, just not playing good defense, and sabonas I
- 21:01Speaker 3: think could really I don't know, I think he could
- 21:04Speaker 3: embarrass him early on. So I don't really think that
- 21:06Speaker 3: I love Kat here, but not going to x him out. Obviously,
- 21:09Speaker 3: eight point five K for a guy like Kat is
- 21:11Speaker 3: a really good price tag. And then Josh Hart benefited
- 21:15Speaker 3: a lot from Keg into fell Shuble last week. The
- 21:17Speaker 3: Knicks going to be needed to run off a ton
- 21:19Speaker 3: of wins right now, so I think that they could
- 21:21Speaker 3: lean into their starters a little bit more, which makes
- 21:23Speaker 3: hard Og and Bridges all interesting. And then Mitch rob
- 21:27Speaker 3: definitely in play four point four k max one of
- 21:30Speaker 3: him and Kat.
- 21:31Speaker 2: The OG play. I mean you mentioned talent's on a
- 21:33Speaker 2: DVP Og is also there only five percent, I mean
- 21:38Speaker 2: he's The Knicks are imply just looking at Sabersim one
- 21:40Speaker 2: hundred and twenty one points, second most on the slate
- 21:43Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty three for OKC and the highest
- 21:46Speaker 2: priced player eight point seven k, like usually it feels
- 21:49Speaker 2: like they're more expensive. So yeah, I like the idea
- 21:51Speaker 2: of getting a nick at ownership on a lot of teams.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Town's probably my least favorite of the Spens. Center is
- 21:58Speaker 2: strong and how much you hyped up are Like a
- 22:00Speaker 2: lot of your teams will have Star and then you
- 22:02Speaker 2: only have one possible after that, which there's a couple
- 22:05Speaker 2: other solid centers and by no means you have to
- 22:08Speaker 2: play double center. But yeah, for a game that's as
- 22:11Speaker 2: wide of a spread, I guess so many of them
- 22:13Speaker 2: are on this late that you can't wait it too high.
- 22:17Speaker 2: I mean, Sacramento side's a little tougher. I think he
- 22:19Speaker 2: made some good points with the bonus, but yeah, I
- 22:22Speaker 2: think the Knicks side is pretty strong. Brunson heart og Yeah,
- 22:27Speaker 2: Mitch Rob I think is interesting too, So we'll keep
- 22:30Speaker 2: it rolling to a game that I think is a
- 22:32Speaker 2: really easy cross off on one side and the Pelicans
- 22:35Speaker 2: okay see, though very similar boat as the Knicks fourteen
- 22:37Speaker 2: a point favorites two thirty three and a half total
- 22:40Speaker 2: in this one. Injuries on the OKC side, no aj Mitchell,
- 22:45Speaker 2: Cason Wallace questionable, no JDub either, Jalen with the e
- 22:49Speaker 2: en the good one so no Jail Williams, no Mitchell,
- 22:52Speaker 2: Cason Wallas questionable. Pelicans side no injuries to note there.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Yeah these okay, see guys getting some ownership. Casey Wall's
- 23:02Speaker 2: actually a pretty important Q take, it looks like. And
- 23:04Speaker 2: then Pelicans Trey Murphy. He he's a hooper. I never
- 23:08Speaker 2: mind playing him, but feels pretty hard to click a
- 23:10Speaker 2: name over there.
- 23:11Speaker 1: What do you see?
- 23:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the Pelicans are playing better right now,
- 23:16Speaker 3: so I think that there's another outside shot that the
- 23:20Speaker 3: Pelicans can keep it close. And we've seen when teams
- 23:23Speaker 3: keep it close with okay See, you get some really
- 23:25Speaker 3: good games from them. We saw Chet and SJA have
- 23:27Speaker 3: really big games against Indy the other night fifty four
- 23:30Speaker 3: from Chet sixty two I believe from Shay. Yes, I
- 23:35Speaker 3: think if you are playing anybody in New Orleans, you
- 23:37Speaker 3: probably want to correlate it with some OKAC guys, is.
- 23:40Speaker 1: How I'm looking at it.
- 23:41Speaker 3: I think that okay See runs away with this one
- 23:43Speaker 3: because I just don't think the Pelicans are very good,
- 23:46Speaker 3: but there is basically one spot that you can attack
- 23:50Speaker 3: okay see with that's with three point shooting always been
- 23:52Speaker 3: a point of weakness for them. They help off a
- 23:54Speaker 3: lot and try to take away the rim scoring. So
- 23:56Speaker 3: guys like Trey Murphy and Cidy Bay are in play.
- 24:00Speaker 3: And then obviously Zion like he's playing a lot of
- 24:02Speaker 3: minutes right now in comparison to what he normally plays
- 24:05Speaker 3: and is good enough to beat up any matchup, went
- 24:07Speaker 3: for forty five DK points against wemby double double.
- 24:12Speaker 1: There.
- 24:15Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really the Thunder one of the best
- 24:19Speaker 3: rim defense in the leagues. I don't really think that
- 24:20Speaker 3: this is the spot for him. I would much rather
- 24:23Speaker 3: look to Murphy and Sadek Bay from leaning into the
- 24:26Speaker 3: matchup and then correlated with some of those OKAC guys.
- 24:30Speaker 3: Murphy has been pretty good from OKAYC from an efficiency standpoint,
- 24:33Speaker 3: shot nearly sixty percent from the field, but just lost
- 24:37Speaker 3: minutes due to blowout. And then Sadik Bay definitely should
- 24:40Speaker 3: be included in the playpools because he's looked really good
- 24:42Speaker 3: as of late over the last three games, averaging just
- 24:45Speaker 3: under twenty seven points per game, shooting forty eight percent
- 24:48Speaker 3: from three thunder a three point funnels.
- 24:50Speaker 1: I think that he.
- 24:51Speaker 3: Could be a guy that keeps the game close. You
- 24:54Speaker 3: got to keep an eye on Derrek, Queen and Missy.
- 24:57Speaker 3: They've been the minutes of me going back fourth Queen
- 25:00Speaker 3: has been playing really bad on defense, so I think
- 25:03Speaker 3: if you want to keep missing the pool makes a
- 25:05Speaker 3: little bit of sense. But I just don't think that
- 25:07Speaker 3: this would be a spot where you really get a
- 25:08Speaker 3: big game from him. Okay, see side Shay was hadn't
- 25:12Speaker 3: been needed for heavy minutes against the matchup versus Pelicans
- 25:14Speaker 3: earlier this season, but the thunder r a lot thinner
- 25:17Speaker 3: at this point, so that's why I think that there's
- 25:19Speaker 3: a chance that the Pelicans keep it close. Her Jones
- 25:21Speaker 3: has done a really good job against Shay in their career.
- 25:24Speaker 3: Looking at some of the data head to head, he's
- 25:27Speaker 3: been guarded by Herb the fourthmost of any defender in
- 25:29Speaker 3: the NBA in his career, and he's shooting just forty
- 25:32Speaker 3: five and a half percent true shooting percentage. He's held
- 25:36Speaker 3: him to nine point three points per seventy five positions,
- 25:38Speaker 3: which is really low. So I think that you can
- 25:40Speaker 3: make the case that's a really really bad matchup for Shay.
- 25:43Speaker 3: Herb looking like he's getting healthier too, so probably I
- 25:47Speaker 3: don't really have a strong preference for Shay has spent
- 25:50Speaker 3: up tonight, unless I'm correlating them together with some of
- 25:53Speaker 3: these other Pelicans. I do like the spot for Chet though,
- 25:56Speaker 3: starting alongside Jaylen Wims has not really hurt him at all.
- 25:59Speaker 3: His power Ford only, so it kind of sucks. I
- 26:01Speaker 3: think he is playing more of the center spot, but
- 26:04Speaker 3: he'll be a match up with Derek Queen. I think
- 26:05Speaker 3: that's the why he could definitely attack. Pels are allowing
- 26:08Speaker 3: the third most fantasy points to opposing centers along over
- 26:10Speaker 3: two and a half blocks per game. They're also bottom
- 26:13Speaker 3: four in rebounding, so there's a lot of ways that
- 26:15Speaker 3: check can really put up a big score here. I
- 26:17Speaker 3: have a lot of interest in Chet tonight, and then
- 26:19Speaker 3: Wiggins played twenty minutes or twenty eine minutes off the bench.
- 26:22Speaker 3: If Cason Wallace is out, he should be in the
- 26:25Speaker 3: starting line, but there's a chance that he starts regardless.
- 26:27Speaker 3: I think that they like him for this type of
- 26:29Speaker 3: matchup a little bit more where the Pelicans have a
- 26:31Speaker 3: little bit more size in the first unit.
- 26:33Speaker 1: But we'll see what they do there.
- 26:34Speaker 3: I think that Wiggins, regardless is the better fantasy producer
- 26:37Speaker 3: than Casin, and it was nice to see him return
- 26:39Speaker 3: to pretty much full minutes after being out for a
- 26:41Speaker 3: few games. I think Kenrich and Jalen Williams should split
- 26:45Speaker 3: those front court minutes with Chet. Cam Rich has definitely
- 26:48Speaker 3: outplayed him, playing more minutes and scoring more fantasy points.
- 26:51Speaker 3: Jalen Williams has not top fourteen fantasy points in any
- 26:54Speaker 3: of the last three games. And then Dort always a
- 26:57Speaker 3: little bit more interested in him at home, but I
- 27:00Speaker 3: don't think that you is unlikely that Dort's putting up
- 27:02Speaker 3: a big enough fantasy score to be useful in this
- 27:04Speaker 3: big of a slate. But he's a much better shooter
- 27:07Speaker 3: at home than he is on the road. Pelkans one
- 27:09Speaker 3: of the biggest three point funnels in the NBA, but
- 27:10Speaker 3: I think it's Chet as the number one option for
- 27:13Speaker 3: me on okay seat tonight.
- 27:14Speaker 1: I think you made a lot of great cases.
- 27:16Speaker 2: I mean, Herb is one of the more respected defenders
- 27:18Speaker 2: in my opinion, He's gonna be chasing Shay around all game.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Shay's getting more ownership than CHET two, So I think
- 27:25Speaker 2: that's a very sharp way to go about it. Kenrich Wigans,
- 27:29Speaker 2: can you get to Wigans if Cason's in, or can
- 27:32Speaker 2: you play case in himself at forty.
- 27:33Speaker 3: Four hundred, I think there's better point guard shooting guard options,
- 27:37Speaker 3: Like I prefer Schroeder and Trey Johnson more than Cason.
- 27:40Speaker 3: So I do think that I like Wiggans more than Cason. Okay,
- 27:44Speaker 3: different eligibility, but small ford powerful usually pretty weak and
- 27:48Speaker 3: better to spend down there.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I think Kenrich over Jalen. I mean
- 27:53Speaker 2: the power forward eligibility is huge there. I think it's
- 27:55Speaker 2: pretty tough to click Jalen at center. The other side, though,
- 28:01Speaker 2: the Pelicans, it's yeah, Sidik Bay, so I like your
- 28:05Speaker 2: shout on him, but Trey Murphy and then Sidik Bay
- 28:07Speaker 2: or nothing. It feels tough for me to click zyeon
- 28:09Speaker 2: today and too many Pelicans after that.
- 28:13Speaker 1: I really got nothing more.
- 28:15Speaker 2: I say we take it to a very chalky game,
- 28:18Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Bucks and the Philadelphia seventy six Ers.
- 28:21Speaker 1: Let me refresh quick looking at.
- 28:24Speaker 2: The odds Bucks nine and a half point underdogs two
- 28:27Speaker 2: nineteen and a half total in this one. For the
- 28:30Speaker 2: Philly side, Quentin Grimes and mb questionable. On the Buck side,
- 28:33Speaker 2: no Giannis, no Kevin Porter Junior. That will lead to
- 28:37Speaker 2: Ryan Rollins being one of the highest owned players on
- 28:39Speaker 2: the slate, Bobby port Is, Cole Anthony, some Miles Turner.
- 28:42Speaker 2: The Buck's definitely getting a good amount of love. And
- 28:45Speaker 2: then on the seventy six Ers side, obviously important news.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Do you have any lean on Embiid We'll start it
- 28:50Speaker 2: off there or Grimes, but obviously Embiid's a big one.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Umm.
- 28:56Speaker 3: No, I kind of expect him to be back tonight.
- 28:58Speaker 3: Miss a game over the weekkend. Have they filed their
- 29:03Speaker 3: injury report? Is this from last night the questionable tag?
- 29:08Speaker 1: I do not know for sure.
- 29:09Speaker 2: I'm just checking the injury report on I just go
- 29:11Speaker 2: based on the RG injury report, I can look at
- 29:14Speaker 2: look at that.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Obviously. That's huge news though, because I.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Mean, embid would become a very strong play if you
- 29:21Speaker 2: play otherwise. The Drummond Bona, we always have that conversation,
- 29:24Speaker 2: but outlook when you.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Talk, yeah, I mean if embiid, I mean, there's definitely
- 29:28Speaker 3: a chance from the miss. He's played so many minutes
- 29:30Speaker 3: in the last two games. I don't They definitely want
- 29:32Speaker 3: to keep him as healthy as they can. A game
- 29:35Speaker 3: against Milwaukee with no Yannis and no KPJ is probably
- 29:39Speaker 3: a game that they should be able to win without Embiid.
- 29:41Speaker 3: Maybe the spread does indicate that he's out, because I
- 29:44Speaker 3: kind of thought that sixers would be much heavier favorites
- 29:47Speaker 3: than just ten at home if they were questionable. But
- 29:52Speaker 3: it looks like, guess, do you have any thoughts on
- 29:55Speaker 3: the spread? Like I figured it would be a lot
- 29:57Speaker 3: higher than ten.
- 30:01Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 30:01Speaker 2: I guess we haven't really seen enough games without Giannis
- 30:04Speaker 2: where I don't know where the power rankings respect the Bucks. Yeah,
- 30:09Speaker 2: I mean I assume probably a fully healthy seventy six
- 30:12Speaker 2: Ers team should be in.
- 30:12Speaker 1: The twelve and a half mark something like that. I
- 30:15Speaker 1: think that's probably right.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Yeah, So I don't know, maybe maybe there's a little
- 30:19Speaker 3: bit of edge waiting for and B to be out.
- 30:22Speaker 2: I mean it's hard to wait, like you definitely if
- 30:24Speaker 2: you do get that news, right, and I think it's
- 30:27Speaker 2: you're better to take chances like that on a slate
- 30:30Speaker 2: like tonight with said the five dollars seventy one thousand,
- 30:32Speaker 2: I mean you're looking at three and a half x
- 30:34Speaker 2: the normal players are, the size of the contest, and
- 30:38Speaker 2: with how top heavy it is, like you really that
- 30:41Speaker 2: first place equity. So I think maybe it makes more
- 30:44Speaker 2: sense to lean into something like that today if you
- 30:46Speaker 2: do think it's a real possibility.
- 30:48Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I guess we'll talk through the Sixers stuff
- 30:52Speaker 3: after the Bucks. But yeah, obviously the main news Yannis
- 30:55Speaker 3: out for what they say, four to six weeks, and
- 30:56Speaker 3: then KPJ.
- 30:57Speaker 1: I don't even think they had a timeline for him.
- 30:59Speaker 1: This said he'd be for a while.
- 31:03Speaker 3: I mean, we've had a pretty a lot of data
- 31:05Speaker 3: from earlier this season when Giannis and Kevin Port Junior
- 31:07Speaker 3: were missing. Obviously, is the huge Ryan Rawlins usage role
- 31:11Speaker 3: as USACE jumps up to thirty three and a half percent.
- 31:13Speaker 3: Thirty six percent is SIST percentage one point two to
- 31:15Speaker 3: three fantasy points per minute. I also think the match
- 31:18Speaker 3: was pretty good for him. Sixer is one of the
- 31:19Speaker 3: worst pick and roll defenses. They're also just all around
- 31:22Speaker 3: a much worse defense with him beat on the court.
- 31:24Speaker 3: But over the last two weeks, over the last seven games,
- 31:28Speaker 3: they're two and five, bottom six in defense, bottom four
- 31:31Speaker 3: and offense, so just in pretty bad form. Milwaukee now
- 31:34Speaker 3: much better, though their twenty ninth in offense and defense
- 31:36Speaker 3: over that same stretch. Not having Johannis definitely gonna hurt them.
- 31:41Speaker 3: But yeah, we should expect a pretty big role a
- 31:44Speaker 3: ton of minutes from Ryan Rawlins, and he's done really
- 31:46Speaker 3: well against the Sixers already the season twenty four to six,
- 31:49Speaker 3: ten and a half is his average stat line went
- 31:52Speaker 3: for sixty plus DK points of one of the game,
- 31:54Speaker 3: but averaging just center fifty three draftings points per games.
- 31:57Speaker 3: I think he's one of the top mid tier plays
- 31:59Speaker 3: in the Sleigh ownership and projection is gonna follow that too.
- 32:02Speaker 3: Is not really breaking any news there, but I do
- 32:05Speaker 3: like Ryan Rowlins a lot here. We have to see
- 32:08Speaker 3: what they do with Bobby Portis. We know Doc is
- 32:11Speaker 3: notorious for doing some weird stuff in the starting lineup.
- 32:13Speaker 3: He makes the most sense though there's a lot of
- 32:16Speaker 3: size on the Philly side, although maybe a little bit
- 32:18Speaker 3: different now that Uber has been starting over Barlow. I
- 32:22Speaker 3: think maybe somebody else does match up a little bit
- 32:25Speaker 3: better than Bobby Portis. But if he does start, obviously
- 32:27Speaker 3: really good. He's averaged right around thirty three DK points
- 32:30Speaker 3: per game as the start of this season.
- 32:32Speaker 1: But we know that he has really high upside. With
- 32:34Speaker 1: Janis off the court, He's in a.
- 32:36Speaker 2: Big difference if he doesn't, because I wouldn't be shocked
- 32:38Speaker 2: at like they might need his bench scoring him and
- 32:41Speaker 2: Cole Anthony in the second unit. But if he doesn't,
- 32:43Speaker 2: since he get do you see a significant downgrade to
- 32:46Speaker 2: Bobby at.
- 32:48Speaker 3: Least you gotta knock off a few minutes, Like probably
- 32:50Speaker 3: him at like twenty five. I think we have him
- 32:53Speaker 3: at like thirty. We have him right now is a
- 32:57Speaker 3: little bit a little bit too high. I think that
- 32:58Speaker 3: he's probably closer like the thirty range if he's starting,
- 33:01Speaker 3: maybe like twenty eight if he's coming off the bench,
- 33:03Speaker 3: is what I would I would think.
- 33:06Speaker 2: He's still playable, yeah, for sure starting Yeah, and then
- 33:10Speaker 2: everybody's favorite player, Kyle Kuzma getting a good amount of ownership,
- 33:14Speaker 2: should be locked into starting role, should play a ton
- 33:17Speaker 2: of minutes. But he's much easier to get away from
- 33:20Speaker 2: Ryan Rawlins for sure, and then Bobby Ports if be starting,
- 33:22Speaker 2: I think you can definitely get away from Kuzma. I
- 33:25Speaker 2: even think that there's a pivot in this game Kelly
- 33:28Speaker 2: Ubre for one hundred dollars more. It's just I mean,
- 33:32Speaker 2: they're basically the same per minute producer, just different roles.
- 33:36Speaker 2: Obviously with Kuza Kuzma not having Giannis and Uber having
- 33:40Speaker 2: to play with Maxi Embiid and Paul George. But he
- 33:43Speaker 2: provides a little bit of rebounding and assist. They probably
- 33:45Speaker 2: need some more additional playmaking alongside Ryan Rawlins as well.
- 33:49Speaker 2: So I don't want to tell anybody not to play
- 33:51Speaker 2: in but I think that at Chalk you can definitely
- 33:54Speaker 2: make the case to get away from Kuzma and then
- 33:57Speaker 2: Cole Anthony, like you mentioned, off the bench, should get
- 33:59Speaker 2: a solid role. He's averaging just under twenty one DK
- 34:02Speaker 2: points per game without Kevin Port Junior this season, but
- 34:04Speaker 2: he has a few games in his game luck where
- 34:07Speaker 2: you would really be happy that you had him at
- 34:08Speaker 2: four point one k had won forty point performance and
- 34:11Speaker 2: then a couple in like the upper twenties, which would
- 34:13Speaker 2: be pretty good. But also in comparison to Schroeder and
- 34:17Speaker 2: Trey Johnson, I think I like those guys a little
- 34:19Speaker 2: bit more. I don't think you need to max one
- 34:22Speaker 2: Cole Anthony and Ryan Rowlins. They've overlapped for a good bit.
- 34:25Speaker 3: With KPJ and Giannis out right around forty four minutes,
- 34:28Speaker 3: there's a chance of they both can get there, and
- 34:31Speaker 3: they don't. If they were both only point guard elgible,
- 34:33Speaker 3: then I would set that role, but with col Anthony
- 34:35Speaker 3: being shooting guard, there's a chance that they could both
- 34:38Speaker 3: get there. I don't really like Miles Turner. I just
- 34:41Speaker 3: think that there's gonna be better center options he was.
- 34:44Speaker 3: He had seven stocks last game. The only reason he
- 34:46Speaker 3: really hit in a big way. Just not a good rebounder,
- 34:50Speaker 3: and I just don't really think that he's a good
- 34:52Speaker 3: fantasy producer. So I'm not going to play much if
- 34:54Speaker 3: any Miles Turner tonight and then the Philly side. I
- 34:57Speaker 3: did like the spot for Embiid against Miles turn just
- 35:01Speaker 3: not a great room protector. And Be's playing at a
- 35:03Speaker 3: high level again. Back to back strong game sixty two
- 35:05Speaker 3: and seventy two DK points against the Knicks and Houston,
- 35:09Speaker 3: which is really impressive. Those two teams are playing really
- 35:10Speaker 3: good defense as of late. He's been shooting the ball
- 35:13Speaker 3: really efficiently sixty nine percent true shooting percentage, shooting fifty
- 35:16Speaker 3: percent from three point range over his last two games
- 35:18Speaker 3: as well. So if he's in, I would expect him
- 35:21Speaker 3: to be full. But like we said, if he's out,
- 35:24Speaker 3: then Tyres Max is the guy you're looking to a
- 35:28Speaker 3: little bit of a tougher match up. Ron Browns a
- 35:30Speaker 3: pretty solid defender. The Bucks have a really good pick
- 35:32Speaker 3: and roll defense.
- 35:33Speaker 1: But he had a huge.
- 35:34Speaker 3: Game versus Milwaukee earlier this season, eighty six y K
- 35:37Speaker 3: points in that game. I believe that game went to overtime.
- 35:40Speaker 3: If it didn't, then those I think he played like
- 35:43Speaker 3: forty six minutes in that one. So yeah, I definitely
- 35:46Speaker 3: think you would want to look to Maxie if Embiid
- 35:48Speaker 3: were to miss this game, had a couple of bad
- 35:51Speaker 3: games as of late, maybe some tired legs, but should
- 35:53Speaker 3: be able to get it going here if if EMBID
- 35:56Speaker 3: were to be out, and then I like Kelly Bray
- 35:58Speaker 3: Like I said, he's playing a ton of minutes right now.
- 36:00Speaker 3: Pretty good spot for him as well. Bucks are a
- 36:02Speaker 3: pretty big three point final and he should be the
- 36:05Speaker 3: guy that's getting a lot of the easier looks if
- 36:07Speaker 3: those guys were to be in. So I like Ubray
- 36:09Speaker 3: as a pivot off of Kuzma in the same game,
- 36:12Speaker 3: similar price text, similar positional flexibility.
- 36:17Speaker 2: Really got nothing more to I agree with almost everything
- 36:20Speaker 2: you said. What about like Edgecombe if there was no
- 36:23Speaker 2: EMBIID and then if there's no EMBIID, the Bone and
- 36:26Speaker 2: Drummond situation comes back in our life.
- 36:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Edgecombe is not playing great right now.
- 36:33Speaker 3: It's kind of been tough, like he's been negatively impacted
- 36:37Speaker 3: a lot by EMBIID playing at a high level. So
- 36:39Speaker 3: definitely in theory he should get better, but he's not cheap.
- 36:42Speaker 3: His price has kind of stayed in the upper six
- 36:44Speaker 3: K low seven K range. You need him to really
- 36:47Speaker 3: go for like forty five on this type of slate
- 36:50Speaker 3: to put up a solid fantasy or a solid tournament score.
- 36:55Speaker 3: I don't really know what they would do with the
- 36:56Speaker 3: center game it is. Has Drummond been like out of
- 37:01Speaker 3: rotation a little bit, I believe, so, Yeah, I'm not sure.
- 37:05Speaker 3: Just be whoever starting is probably the guy that I
- 37:06Speaker 3: would lean to, But it'd probably be Bona, just because
- 37:08Speaker 3: they've been leaning into him a little bit.
- 37:10Speaker 2: More Over, Drummond, I would not play Max the nmp'
- 37:15Speaker 2: and I don't think Rio.
- 37:16Speaker 1: No, Yeah, I would be Max one of those two
- 37:18Speaker 1: guys tonight.
- 37:19Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I mean it's if m B plays.
- 37:22Speaker 2: He looks really strong. You mentioned Oubra Tyrese MAXI like
- 37:26Speaker 2: as well, But I mean the buck side, I really
- 37:28Speaker 2: like col Anthony at his price, Ryan rounds and he'll
- 37:31Speaker 2: be the chalkiest. Not much to say there. Bobby, Yeah,
- 37:35Speaker 2: definitely have to play little Kuzman. I don't mind aj Green,
- 37:37Speaker 2: Like if he does get the start, if it's not Bobby,
- 37:40Speaker 2: it's probably aj Green.
- 37:41Speaker 1: And I mean I think he's starting regardless. You think
- 37:45Speaker 1: he has started regardless?
- 37:46Speaker 3: Yeah, the like it would be off the Garry Harris
- 37:50Speaker 3: or like Trent or something.
- 37:52Speaker 1: Yeah, something weird like that. I like aj Green.
- 37:56Speaker 2: I mean he'll if he if he gets hot, he'll
- 37:58Speaker 2: keep chucking it and he'll be lower. So with all
- 38:01Speaker 2: the other Bucks getting ownership, I think it's interesting.
- 38:04Speaker 1: All Right.
- 38:04Speaker 2: We got two games left on the slates, Brooklyn Nets
- 38:07Speaker 2: and the Phoenix Suns. Another game getting a little bit
- 38:09Speaker 2: of ownership. Pretty much all on the Sun side in
- 38:13Speaker 2: terms of the spread eight and nap point favorites of
- 38:15Speaker 2: the Suns at home two ten and a half total,
- 38:18Speaker 2: the lowest on the slate. Injuries in this one on
- 38:20Speaker 2: the Sun side, no Jalen Green, no Devin Booker, Colin Gillespie.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Questionable on the Brooklyn side no Noah Clowney. So yeah, Phoenix,
- 38:29Speaker 2: no Booker, no Jalen Green. The prices look very cheap,
- 38:33Speaker 2: and then it could only get better without Gillespie. With
- 38:35Speaker 2: that being said, I mean this four games will already
- 38:38Speaker 2: be locked, This game and the Nuggets game on an
- 38:40Speaker 2: island at nine easterns. So yeah, are you gonna like
- 38:45Speaker 2: build any lineups assuming Gillespie's out and bump some of
- 38:48Speaker 2: these guys because they're already gonna get ownership.
- 38:50Speaker 1: But like if he was.
- 38:51Speaker 2: Ruled out at let's say eight thirty Eastern when all
- 38:55Speaker 2: those other games lock, I think they'll be lower owned
- 38:57Speaker 2: than they would if we got that news right away.
- 38:59Speaker 1: So interesting spot here suns mets.
- 39:03Speaker 3: Yeah, to answer that question, I think the only guy
- 39:05Speaker 3: that I'm really going to be meaningfully boosting up is
- 39:08Speaker 3: going to be Jordan Goodwin because I feel like he's
- 39:10Speaker 3: pretty good regardless, and he's got the chance to get
- 39:12Speaker 3: a lot better if Gillespie were to miss. The other
- 39:14Speaker 3: guys that I would expect to benefit are already projecting
- 39:17Speaker 3: pretty decently.
- 39:17Speaker 1: But then you got like we're.
- 39:20Speaker 3: Talking about like Jamari Bouyah, who would be the guy
- 39:22Speaker 3: that I would have interest in. I just don't think
- 39:24Speaker 3: that there's gonna be enough to pivot off of to
- 39:27Speaker 3: get down to him, and I don't I'm just gonna
- 39:30Speaker 3: kind of hope that he doesn't do enough to bury
- 39:31Speaker 3: me for not playing him. But he would be a
- 39:33Speaker 3: guy that I think is kind of a dark horse
- 39:35Speaker 3: value candidate if.
- 39:37Speaker 2: You'd have to do a lot because his ownership will
- 39:40Speaker 2: be so low because people will struggle to get in
- 39:42Speaker 2: there as well, like you need to have so much
- 39:44Speaker 2: backloaded and get the late swap.
- 39:48Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean definitely want to be cautious with
- 39:51Speaker 3: how much I'm playing this game. Though obviously you take
- 39:53Speaker 3: away Booker and Jalen Green and Gillespie, there's a lot
- 39:56Speaker 3: of usage and possessions go around, but this game has
- 39:59Speaker 3: a extremely low game total, so there's only so many
- 40:03Speaker 3: fantasy points to go around, so I don't really want
- 40:05Speaker 3: to get too overboard with it. I see Grayson Allen
- 40:08Speaker 3: projecting for a ton of ownership right now, and rightfully so.
- 40:12Speaker 3: I mean, his role is gonna be pretty big. He's
- 40:14Speaker 3: second on the team and usage behind Dylan Brooks. But
- 40:18Speaker 3: the ways that he gets his points, which is more
- 40:21Speaker 3: than likely gonna come as a three point shooter. The
- 40:24Speaker 3: Nets are not helping off on defense at all. They're
- 40:28Speaker 3: allowing the fourth lowest defensive three point frequency of this season,
- 40:31Speaker 3: the the best pick and roll defense in the NBA,
- 40:33Speaker 3: So there's I definitely think that there's ways that Grayson
- 40:37Speaker 3: Allen could could bust at Chalk at low ownership or
- 40:40Speaker 3: at high ownership. So that's gonna be one. I probably
- 40:43Speaker 3: end up getting a little bit under the field on
- 40:46Speaker 3: but that being said, he is playing a lot of
- 40:47Speaker 3: minutes right now. Did get a little banged up last game,
- 40:51Speaker 3: I believe. I think the rookie for the heat kind
- 40:55Speaker 3: of dove into his knee. Didn't get listed obviously, so
- 40:58Speaker 3: he should be fine. But yeah, he's playing a lot
- 40:59Speaker 3: of minutes right now. Saw I'm a hit for a
- 41:03Speaker 3: huge game against Detroy. Put up twenty threes in that game,
- 41:05Speaker 3: so he's.
- 41:05Speaker 1: Got the volume. Is definitely gonna be there.
- 41:06Speaker 3: But Brooklyn does not help off, so he's not getting
- 41:09Speaker 3: as clean of looks as he was in that game
- 41:11Speaker 3: against Detroy. We even mentioned it on that slate or
- 41:13Speaker 3: in the slave plan that Detroit is a team that
- 41:15Speaker 3: gives up some threes. So I think that, Like I said,
- 41:17Speaker 3: I think there are ways that he could fail at ownership.
- 41:20Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks is kind of the same thing. Like he's
- 41:23Speaker 3: going to get up a ton of shots. He put
- 41:25Speaker 3: up what twenty three shots the last time that Booker missed,
- 41:28Speaker 3: went for twenty six real points, forty two DK points,
- 41:30Speaker 3: leads a team in usage at thirty five percent, So
- 41:33Speaker 3: I think he's going to get his regardless, and he's
- 41:35Speaker 3: coming in at a fraction of the ownership to to
- 41:40Speaker 3: Grayson Allen with similar positional stuff. He's small for it
- 41:43Speaker 3: as well, So I like Dylan Brooks a little bit
- 41:46Speaker 3: more just for the ownership discount. That's probably where it
- 41:50Speaker 3: cuts off. I think that is a pretty big dip
- 41:52Speaker 3: to guys like Mark Williams and Royce O'Neill. Mark Williams
- 41:57Speaker 3: is just not playing enough right now to be viable.
- 41:59Speaker 3: I love the matchup against Brooklyn. The Nets have again
- 42:01Speaker 3: a ton of points around the basket, generally given up
- 42:03Speaker 3: a lot of fantasy points to opposing centers. But it
- 42:06Speaker 3: seems like also a Goadaro. He's eating into him at
- 42:08Speaker 3: a meaningful rate. So I guess, I guess if you
- 42:11Speaker 3: play Egadoro, then that allows you to pivot down to Boo. Yeah,
- 42:14Speaker 3: eight hundred dollars difference thereous you'd have to open up
- 42:16Speaker 3: the salary restrictions. But I think those two guys are
- 42:20Speaker 3: kind of negatively eating to each other. And Mark williams
- 42:23Speaker 3: minutes have been really gross. I don't like that there
- 42:25Speaker 3: and a good way projected. Oh sorry, go ahead, you're
- 42:29Speaker 3: going to switch sides? No, no, not yet, but go ahead?
- 42:32Speaker 3: Like what do you got byah? Projected?
- 42:34Speaker 2: Is he gonna be over nineteen point sixty one at
- 42:36Speaker 2: Gadaro if there's no Gilaspie? I'm not sure where his
- 42:42Speaker 2: minutes would land, but probably given him what like twenty minutes,
- 42:44Speaker 2: so he would Now he'd still be behind Agadaro, but
- 42:48Speaker 2: it'd be it'd be closer than it is right now. Okay, yeah,
- 42:51Speaker 2: you're gonna go to good one. Sorry interrupted you.
- 42:53Speaker 3: Oh yeah, asking said, He's the guy that I feel
- 42:55Speaker 3: the most confident as a value play from the Phoenix side.
- 42:58Speaker 3: He's just a of the stat sheet, a guy that
- 43:01Speaker 3: plays a really good defense. And then if Klin Gillaspie
- 43:04Speaker 3: were to be out in this one, then he can
- 43:06Speaker 3: only get a little bit better. Potentially would slide into
- 43:08Speaker 3: the starting lineup. And he's got the shooting guard small
- 43:11Speaker 3: Ford eligibility, which is good. I always hear Matt talked
- 43:15Speaker 3: about you can play him in five different positions, so
- 43:16Speaker 3: that's always good. There a lot of flexibility in your lineup.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Be a good one.
- 43:20Speaker 3: Be the guy that I have probably the most of
- 43:21Speaker 3: on Phoenix tonight. The net side is pretty pretty short,
- 43:27Speaker 3: like it's gonna be MPJ pairing him up with some
- 43:29Speaker 3: guys on Phoenix if you expect the game to stay close.
- 43:31Speaker 3: But even then, he's eight point four K and the
- 43:34Speaker 3: they're only projected for one hundred and one points, so
- 43:38Speaker 3: he'd have to produce probably like forty percent of the
- 43:41Speaker 3: team's actual points to be really viable in tournaments. So
- 43:45Speaker 3: but he's fine. Claxon too, saw him get there against
- 43:48Speaker 3: Boston the other night, played a ton of minutes. Those
- 43:50Speaker 3: are two guys that would really want if you expect
- 43:52Speaker 3: the game to be really close and competitive and a
- 43:55Speaker 3: little bit higher scoring than it's projected to be. I
- 43:58Speaker 3: think that's pretty much it, though, Camp Tom this seems
- 44:00Speaker 3: like he's just checked out mentally, not doing anything on offense.
- 44:05Speaker 2: Man when he's hot, Cam Thomas's he was fun to watch,
- 44:08Speaker 2: but I still I mean MPJ Clason clicking anyone on
- 44:11Speaker 2: Brooklyn feels really hard to do.
- 44:13Speaker 1: But if you do, you can play a lot of
- 44:15Speaker 1: chalk around it.
- 44:16Speaker 2: Maybe you plug them in and then you have more
- 44:19Speaker 2: backloading stuff for Gillespie news, and then you can swap
- 44:22Speaker 2: on more Phoenix stuff. I don't know if you have
- 44:25Speaker 2: MPJ in a punt and you can then get Brooks
- 44:28Speaker 2: Grayson something like that if Gillespie's out. But I couldn't
- 44:31Speaker 2: imagine really playing Brooklyn stuff. Nothing really more. Last game
- 44:35Speaker 2: of the Slates.
- 44:35Speaker 1: Appreciate it.
- 44:36Speaker 2: Everyone hanging out three six of you watching live. All
- 44:39Speaker 2: we ask is a like button, helps us out a
- 44:40Speaker 2: ton shout out to Rio, nobody better in the business.
- 44:43Speaker 2: He does put up his slate plan Monday, Tuesday, Thursday
- 44:46Speaker 2: and Friday as well, even if he's not on The
- 44:48Speaker 2: show breaks down the upper tier, mid tier, lower tier
- 44:51Speaker 2: individual players, awesome nuggets in there, has his GPP cor
- 44:54Speaker 2: report always up. Cash report is myself, Matt and ham
- 44:59Speaker 2: do the corpor well. Also added the DVP rankings. Really
- 45:02Speaker 2: excited about that. It is fully automated, no bias goes
- 45:07Speaker 2: into it, and very good stuff there.
- 45:09Speaker 1: So appreciate everyone hanging out.
- 45:11Speaker 2: If you want to join us at the nation, multiple
- 45:12Speaker 2: different options daily five days. As you see, nineteen dollars.
- 45:16Speaker 2: We got PGA, we got MMA, NHL. Some sports going
- 45:20Speaker 2: on right now. College basketball is even watching some Arizona
- 45:22Speaker 2: BYU yesterday. That was a good game. Arizona almost choked
- 45:25Speaker 2: it away, all right. Last game of the night, Detroit
- 45:28Speaker 2: Pistons and the Denver Nuggets we are looking at. Actually
- 45:33Speaker 2: there's one other game after but not on the DK slate.
- 45:36Speaker 2: Seven half point favorites of the Pistons two fourteen and
- 45:38Speaker 2: a half total in this one. On the Denver side,
- 45:41Speaker 2: no Aaron Gordon, still no Jokic. On the Detroit side,
- 45:45Speaker 2: Carris Lavert is out. That is the only injury news there.
- 45:49Speaker 2: Does not look like much ownership at all going to
- 45:51Speaker 2: this last game. If people are playing really any of
- 45:53Speaker 2: these nine Eastern games, a lot of spots will be
- 45:56Speaker 2: filled already, but it's the Suns that people will go
- 45:58Speaker 2: to mainly, so contrarian options in this one.
- 46:02Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this one's semi interesting. I feel like
- 46:04Speaker 3: the Denver Nuggets have provided us with some pretty solid
- 46:07Speaker 3: game environments over the last month or so since Yoki
- 46:10Speaker 3: has been out. Their defense is obviously taking a pretty
- 46:12Speaker 3: big hit. They were really struggling with the rim defense,
- 46:15Speaker 3: and now Aaron Gordon's out, you lose all your best
- 46:19Speaker 3: on ball defenders essentially. And then with Joe val being back,
- 46:23Speaker 3: they definitely should improve a bit with the rebounding and
- 46:25Speaker 3: rim protection. And the Detroit is just on a different
- 46:30Speaker 3: level right now defensively. So I do think that the
- 46:34Speaker 3: most likely outcome of this game is to be lower
- 46:36Speaker 3: scoring with Detroit getting the win, but there is an
- 46:40Speaker 3: outside chance that it does provide some fantasy goodness, and
- 46:43Speaker 3: I think on the Detroit side, it's pretty much just
- 46:46Speaker 3: kid for me in the tier of his own. He's
- 46:51Speaker 3: been struggling offense as of late, but coming off a
- 46:53Speaker 3: pretty good game against Sacramento efficiency wise, but the role
- 46:58Speaker 3: is exactly the same, high touch time, a ton of
- 47:00Speaker 3: potentials eighteen point six potentials over his last five games.
- 47:03Speaker 3: I'm going to see a good amount of Payton Watson,
- 47:05Speaker 3: who does match up pretty well from him from a
- 47:07Speaker 3: size perspective, But obviously Kaid is somewhat matchup proof and
- 47:11Speaker 3: a pretty solid price seg at ten point two k
- 47:13Speaker 3: So he's the guy I'm looking too on Detroit.
- 47:16Speaker 1: And then I think that there is a little bit.
- 47:18Speaker 3: Of upside for you guys like Asar Thompson, maybe from
- 47:22Speaker 3: a minute standpoint, because I think they'll have him on
- 47:24Speaker 3: Jamal Murray. Jamal obviously cable playing thirty eight to forty
- 47:27Speaker 3: minutes in a close game, so maybe he gets up
- 47:30Speaker 3: to twenty eight to thirty and the Nuggets are pretty
- 47:33Speaker 3: bad at transition defense, so there is a little bit
- 47:35Speaker 3: of scoring upside for him. That's probably it, though I
- 47:38Speaker 3: see Ron Holland getting a little bit of ownership because
- 47:40Speaker 3: he's been playing really well off the bench, not really
- 47:44Speaker 3: expecting him to see a ton of minutes or anything,
- 47:46Speaker 3: just a cheap option. And then on the Denver side,
- 47:51Speaker 3: I think you could play Jamal for sure going to
- 47:53Speaker 3: be guarded by ASR. We've seen Jamal tickets to tough
- 47:55Speaker 3: defenders all year long, playing great with Al Jokic. I
- 47:58Speaker 3: think if the game is close, Jamal is the most
- 48:01Speaker 3: likely guy to do most of the damage, but I
- 48:03Speaker 3: don't think that he's a priority spended by any means.
- 48:05Speaker 3: I will say that Jonas Valnchunis is a guy I'm
- 48:08Speaker 3: pretty interested in. At six point five K. He's got
- 48:11Speaker 3: a couple of days off. I think they had a
- 48:13Speaker 3: game get canceled over the over the weekend due to weather,
- 48:17Speaker 3: and he played was it twenty two ish minutes I
- 48:20Speaker 3: believe against Washington in his first game back.
- 48:24Speaker 1: So he should be closer to full.
- 48:26Speaker 3: Whatever that means for him, maybe like twenty five to
- 48:28Speaker 3: twenty six, which makes him a pretty interesting, interesting option
- 48:31Speaker 3: because we know that he's just a really, really good,
- 48:35Speaker 3: permitted producer. Obviously, the matchup is not good. Detroit is
- 48:38Speaker 3: the best room defense in the league, but they have
- 48:40Speaker 3: been struggling a little bit rebounding the ball this season
- 48:42Speaker 3: at bottom ten in offensive rebounding rate. I just really
- 48:45Speaker 3: like the potential upside for joeve always averaging thirty six
- 48:48Speaker 3: d K points per game without Jokic this season in
- 48:51Speaker 3: just around twenty two minutes. So if you bump that
- 48:53Speaker 3: up to like twenty four to twenty six, we're talking
- 48:55Speaker 3: about him topping forty draftings points, which I think would
- 48:58Speaker 3: be pretty good at his price.
- 48:59Speaker 1: SEG.
- 48:59Speaker 3: So he's a guy I definitely want to keep my
- 49:01Speaker 3: playerpool because I think that the upside that he has
- 49:04Speaker 3: is better than anybody else in that range at center.
- 49:06Speaker 3: So I like him a little bit, but that's probably
- 49:09Speaker 3: not a game I'm really in love with. I think
- 49:10Speaker 3: that the other ones earlier are better.
- 49:13Speaker 1: Oh, I really like that Joevel shout.
- 49:15Speaker 2: I will mention so FanDuel, you remember the first game
- 49:17Speaker 2: back he was only thirty nine hundred. They've still been
- 49:20Speaker 2: slow to update his price. He's fifty two hundred compared
- 49:23Speaker 2: to sixty five on DK. People, he will be one
- 49:27Speaker 2: of the more popular centers on the slate on FanDuel,
- 49:29Speaker 2: will not be owned really at all on DK. I'm man,
- 49:32Speaker 2: it feels like I've been playing Jovel for like six years, Like,
- 49:36Speaker 2: I mean, the dude just gets the job done when
- 49:37Speaker 2: he's on the court. I do like your cade shout.
- 49:40Speaker 2: You like Caid more than SGA at ownership, Yeah, I do. Yeah,
- 49:44Speaker 2: I'm in agreement there. I think Caid's a nice late
- 49:47Speaker 2: night hammer to have in this one. Outside of that, though,
- 49:51Speaker 2: I guess like a thirty eight hundred Holland. I mean,
- 49:53Speaker 2: if we were talking about Clifford at thirty three hundred earlier,
- 49:56Speaker 2: just being fine, I think Hollin's pretty much the same
- 49:58Speaker 2: play there.
- 49:59Speaker 1: Yep. Not too much more to add for me, though. Rio.
- 50:02Speaker 2: That's all six games and then the showdown game Fandal
- 50:06Speaker 2: is including Little Neck will have it right up there
- 50:09Speaker 2: at ten pm Eastern New Utah Jazz and the Clippers,
- 50:12Speaker 2: and you can see a little bit of DVP on
- 50:16Speaker 2: the website as well in that game. Any final thoughts.
- 50:20Speaker 2: Obviously we're waiting on some injury news. That's NBA DFS
- 50:22Speaker 2: for you, though. If you're playing seven to nine Eastern tonight,
- 50:25Speaker 2: you got to be around your computer.
- 50:28Speaker 3: I would say if you're playing the Fandal slate, then
- 50:31Speaker 3: I would strongly be considering James Harden tonight.
- 50:35Speaker 1: I like it.
- 50:36Speaker 3: Final thoughts but yeah, it's pretty solid slate, though I
- 50:38Speaker 3: think that there is a little bit of leverag should
- 50:41Speaker 3: be had in waiting for the Phoenix News.
- 50:43Speaker 1: I hope that you get it right. Yeah, we want
- 50:46Speaker 1: to get some Jamari Bouja in my lineups.
- 50:49Speaker 2: I mean em beats stuff too, not that like more
- 50:52Speaker 2: than maybe we get before the next Kings game. But
- 50:55Speaker 2: people are going to play a lot of Washington and
- 50:57Speaker 2: rightfully so. But having a plan with that is well,
- 51:00Speaker 2: is pretty important. So yeah, injuries will be I mean,
- 51:03Speaker 2: if they come out yesterday or except aunt Man that
- 51:06Speaker 2: was brutal.
- 51:07Speaker 1: But like the Stephans Draymon, if.
- 51:08Speaker 2: It comes out really early, makes us late easy in
- 51:11Speaker 2: terms of that, but I kind of hope it doesn't.
- 51:13Speaker 2: Seventy one thousand people and that five dollars one hundred
