- 0:05Speaker 1: Fall. System's gone. Clear you left.
- 0:36Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 0:37Speaker 3: Everybody happy Wednesday? We're talking some hoops. Seven games on
- 0:41Speaker 3: the slates, only a couple of games left. My voice
- 0:44Speaker 3: is definitely gone, so I'm gonna try and live it
- 0:46Speaker 3: my speaking as much as possible. Michael in here, Colin
- 0:49Speaker 3: in here, Colin, let me know, boy or girl, I
- 0:53Speaker 3: know you're having your gender last Friday or something to
- 0:55Speaker 3: let me know Rio my boys cooked.
- 0:57Speaker 2: How we doing today?
- 0:58Speaker 4: Doing fine? Yeah, just kind of crawling away to the
- 1:04Speaker 4: finish line here. Ready for some playoff basketball. These games
- 1:08Speaker 4: are just gross today and the rest of the season's
- 1:11Speaker 4: gonna be pretty bad.
- 1:11Speaker 1: So just ready for some real basketball soon.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not I'm not gonna lie and come on
- 1:17Speaker 3: here and say, oh, what a great slate this and that.
- 1:19Speaker 2: I'm miss I'm looking right now.
- 1:21Speaker 3: Twenty and a half, spread, ten and a half, twenty
- 1:23Speaker 3: three and a half, twelve and a half. Got a
- 1:26Speaker 3: couple close ones though throughout a lot of cue takes.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Unfortunately three hour window from the first lock time to
- 1:33Speaker 3: the last, so it is definitely gonna be difficult. We're
- 1:36Speaker 3: gonna talk as best we can through the slate, but
- 1:39Speaker 3: I mean, you do the show yesterday and then you
- 1:41Speaker 3: get the Pelicans news and then the whole slate slipped
- 1:43Speaker 3: on his head that way. So definitely getting the discord
- 1:46Speaker 3: if you do. Hey, look at that though, there's still
- 1:48Speaker 3: money to be made. You guys, you and Matt help
- 1:51Speaker 3: to make four hundred dollars from twenty bucks last night.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Shout out to you. I rush,
- 1:56Speaker 3: that is awesome stuff. We'll do our best to try
- 1:58Speaker 3: and do that again again. It's a lot slay with
- 2:01Speaker 3: a lot of moving parts. We'll just say that for sure. Yep,
- 2:05Speaker 3: there you go, mid show lunch break, Trivet. I don't
- 2:07Speaker 3: know if this was the one Turpin or not, but
- 2:10Speaker 3: I just got my smoothie today. There's no there's no
- 2:13Speaker 3: food on my plate.
- 2:14Speaker 1: But I don't think it was him. I think it
- 2:16Speaker 1: was somebody else.
- 2:17Speaker 2: I think it was too I think he was just
- 2:18Speaker 2: messing around there.
- 2:19Speaker 3: But okay, April twenty second, there you go, healthy baby
- 2:26Speaker 3: and healthy Harpy.
- 2:27Speaker 2: That is a great star for sure, Colin. I appreciate it.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Every hanging out all we asked Tyke button subscribe button
- 2:33Speaker 3: helps us out a ton for you.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Any broad slate you want to say, I mean we
- 2:37Speaker 2: go game by game.
- 2:37Speaker 3: I'll say the totals, the spreads, the Q tags, but
- 2:40Speaker 3: it's a mess.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
- 2:44Speaker 4: I feel like the main theme that we kind of
- 2:47Speaker 4: talked about yesterday was not being so confident in the rotations,
- 2:50Speaker 4: Like we saw a lot of weird stuff happening in
- 2:52Speaker 4: that Utah game really from the Utah sit like Kyle Philipowski,
- 2:55Speaker 4: I saw get a lot of ownership and he wasn't
- 2:57Speaker 4: really playing a ton. We kind of talked about that
- 2:59Speaker 4: a little bit.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
- 3:02Speaker 4: I think that's kind of the same thing applies here.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Do my best to pinpoint those spots, but it's gonna
- 3:08Speaker 4: be it's gonna be pretty tough here. I think that
- 3:11Speaker 4: there's like three to four teams on this slate that
- 3:15Speaker 4: are highly incentivized to win. So I feel like that'd
- 3:19Speaker 4: be the spot you want to go to for svend
- 3:21Speaker 4: ups because we know that their minutes will be there,
- 3:22Speaker 4: and then there's kind of like three spots for value.
- 3:27Speaker 4: I would say, so from that perspective, it's pretty straightforward.
- 3:32Speaker 4: But you'll do our best to kind of talk through it.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Yep.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Absolutely, and we will go to one of the teams
- 3:39Speaker 3: that start with the value side in the first game,
- 3:42Speaker 3: the Timberwolves and the Magic.
- 3:43Speaker 2: We are looking at ten and that point.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Favorites are the Magic two twenty nine and a half
- 3:50Speaker 3: total in this one. You're probably want to why the
- 3:52Speaker 3: Magic are such big favorites while you go to the
- 3:54Speaker 3: injury report on Minnesota, no Ant no Randall, no Go Bear,
- 3:58Speaker 3: no Io Desumo, no Mike Conley, and Jada McDaniels is questionable.
- 4:02Speaker 3: On the Orlando side, Wendell Carter is questionable and that
- 4:06Speaker 3: is all we got there. So for me, it looks
- 4:08Speaker 3: like you got some spend options on the Magic and
- 4:11Speaker 3: you got some value on the Timberwolves.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Do you see it the same way?
- 4:14Speaker 1: Yep.
- 4:15Speaker 4: Wendell Carter Junior did just get upgraded to available, so
- 4:18Speaker 4: they'll be fully healthy tonight.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Perfect.
- 4:21Speaker 4: I guess that kind of makes the Orlando side a
- 4:23Speaker 4: little bit tougher because they have everybody like Anthony Bla.
- 4:26Speaker 4: This is probably the first time since I don't know,
- 4:29Speaker 4: like the first month of the season that they were
- 4:30Speaker 4: fully healthy with Anthony Black and Franz and Paulo Suggs
- 4:34Speaker 4: and Baines. I think from that point of view, it's
- 4:36Speaker 4: a little bit tougher to really get like a GPP
- 4:39Speaker 4: winning score from these guys. So I don't think that
- 4:42Speaker 4: this is what I'd really be going overboard with, But
- 4:45Speaker 4: the matchup is going to get a lot better because
- 4:46Speaker 4: no Rudy.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Gobert, no Ioh.
- 4:48Speaker 4: I don't really think that Jada McDaniels plays tonight, but
- 4:51Speaker 4: he might, but just overall, the team defense for Minnesota
- 4:54Speaker 4: is going to be a lot worse, and I think
- 4:55Speaker 4: that this is probably a better team total that we
- 4:58Speaker 4: would have from Orlando in any other spot. So I
- 5:01Speaker 4: think that from that point of view, these guys are
- 5:04Speaker 4: still in play. Probably just be focusing in on Paulo,
- 5:07Speaker 4: Suggs and Bain. I think Fronds still on the minutes limit,
- 5:10Speaker 4: Wendell car Junior never really a guy I'm looking to
- 5:11Speaker 4: go to Anthony Black. Same thing with the seeming fully healthy,
- 5:14Speaker 4: but the Minnesota side definitely spot can get into a
- 5:18Speaker 4: little bit more. We'll have the news with j McDaniels
- 5:20Speaker 4: if he plays or not. I just don't think that
- 5:22Speaker 4: they're gonna play him.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Maybe they do.
- 5:24Speaker 4: It was encouraging that he is ahead of schedule with
- 5:27Speaker 4: the injury, but I think that it'd kind of make
- 5:29Speaker 4: more sense to give him another night off, but.
- 5:31Speaker 1: If he plays, he is in play.
- 5:33Speaker 4: The guys that I'd be the most concerned with from
- 5:36Speaker 4: a minute's perspective would be Ja McDaniels and Dante DiVincenzo.
- 5:39Speaker 4: For Dante, he hasn't missed a game this year. It
- 5:41Speaker 4: feels like like the McHale Bridge is like Iron Man
- 5:44Speaker 4: thing where he's just gonna go out there and play
- 5:46Speaker 4: a little bit of minutes. But I would probably think
- 5:48Speaker 4: that they go pretty deep into the bench here, So
- 5:51Speaker 4: Bones and Nas I like those guys a lot here.
- 5:53Speaker 4: I think that those guys are pretty fine regardless. Think
- 5:55Speaker 4: Bones has been playing really well. They need some ball handling,
- 5:58Speaker 4: so he'll be a guy I'm looking super value. And
- 6:00Speaker 4: then Nahs should get the start shot a lot better
- 6:03Speaker 4: last game.
- 6:04Speaker 1: That was good to see.
- 6:05Speaker 4: I think Kylie Anderson probably gonna get the start at center,
- 6:08Speaker 4: so he's always in play because he does a good
- 6:09Speaker 4: job filling up the stat sheet. Is a multi stat
- 6:13Speaker 4: type of guys. I think that he's very firmly in play.
- 6:15Speaker 4: And then Terrence Shannon Junior another guy at min price
- 6:18Speaker 4: that I'm looking to, and then I would also be
- 6:20Speaker 4: sprinkling in like the Joan Bearringers Jalen Clark as pivots
- 6:24Speaker 4: off of probably I mean like a Behringer would be
- 6:28Speaker 4: like a max two of nas Kylie Anderson and Barringer
- 6:32Speaker 4: and then Clark. I feel like I'd just rather play
- 6:34Speaker 4: him over McDaniels and over Dante de Vincenzo. But definitely
- 6:38Speaker 4: a pretty good good spot to kick things off. But
- 6:40Speaker 4: the Wolves do have enough bodies where they can run
- 6:43Speaker 4: a pretty deep rotation tonight, So I'm definitely trying to
- 6:46Speaker 4: find ways to get away from these the guys that
- 6:48Speaker 4: I'm not super confident and mainly Dante and J McDaniels.
- 6:52Speaker 3: But you think nas will still play like twenty seven minutes,
- 6:54Speaker 3: bon Bones will play roughly thirty or can you not
- 6:58Speaker 3: even feel confident about pretty much any spot for the Timberwolves.
- 7:01Speaker 4: I think those guys will play a good bit. I
- 7:03Speaker 4: think they'll play enough to be very viable tonight.
- 7:05Speaker 1: I think No is probably closer to like thirty, and
- 7:07Speaker 1: probably the same for Bones Man.
- 7:09Speaker 3: I think that makes Nos one of the best plays
- 7:11Speaker 3: on the slate. Fifty seven hundred has that power forward
- 7:14Speaker 3: center eligibility as well, not competing with any usage. Not
- 7:18Speaker 3: the easiest matchup any means, but Na's just when he's
- 7:21Speaker 3: playing alongside these guys, like his role grows a lot
- 7:24Speaker 3: and he's a good player, good point per minute guys.
- 7:26Speaker 3: So for sure, nos, I mean you can see bones
- 7:29Speaker 3: ownership is not sneaking by anyone. I do think slow
- 7:31Speaker 3: Mo Kyle Anderson's ownership probably does come up like it's
- 7:35Speaker 3: gonna be very easy to jam like a jokicch and
- 7:38Speaker 3: Avda whatever spend you want, Jokich will or the Kyle Anderson.
- 7:44Speaker 3: There's so much value in the slate, but three point
- 7:45Speaker 3: four k does go a long way. What did your
- 7:48Speaker 3: thoughts on like Paula versus other spends on the.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Slate, I mean compared to like Denny.
- 7:54Speaker 4: I prefer Denny a lot more, and just Orlando being
- 7:56Speaker 4: healthier makes these guys a little bit tougher to get to.
- 7:59Speaker 4: But I think the ownership, I don't think he'll be
- 8:01Speaker 4: that high. I guess he's say for every sugs at
- 8:04Speaker 4: like twenty five percent, Paulo at twenty I feel like
- 8:06Speaker 4: that's that's too high, Like especially in signatory stuff, Danny's
- 8:09Speaker 4: gonna be seventy percent owned. I think Jokic probably be
- 8:12Speaker 4: like fifty plus percent, probably Jalen Johnson gets a little
- 8:16Speaker 4: bit more than Paula. I'd say so from that, Like,
- 8:18Speaker 4: from that perspective, these guys are pretty decent leverage plays
- 8:21Speaker 4: and it is a pretty good matchup, just with the
- 8:24Speaker 4: the Minnesota defense getting much much worse.
- 8:26Speaker 3: YEP, totally agree there, and I would be surprised if
- 8:29Speaker 3: McDaniel's played as well.
- 8:30Speaker 2: You did say if he's in, you're fine playing.
- 8:32Speaker 3: I'm like, man, what are his like Saber has it
- 8:34Speaker 3: for thirty one, I'd be shot like twenty three minutes
- 8:38Speaker 3: twenty four.
- 8:38Speaker 2: That one feels a little tougher for me to get to.
- 8:42Speaker 4: I'd probably say he's closer to like twenty eight, like
- 8:45Speaker 4: closer to full.
- 8:47Speaker 2: But I don't mean it's not bad.
- 8:50Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna be super low lo and like he
- 8:53Speaker 3: I don't people aren't gonna take chances. I don't think
- 8:55Speaker 3: at that at six point one, k you just go
- 8:57Speaker 3: to the other side of the game. Uh sug six
- 9:00Speaker 3: And again salary's not too too tight on this late
- 9:02Speaker 3: people are going to go there. I got nothing really
- 9:05Speaker 3: more in this game. Will keep We'll kick it to
- 9:08Speaker 3: the next game that I think is probably the worst
- 9:10Speaker 3: on the slate. The monkey Bucks and the Detroit Pistons
- 9:13Speaker 3: Detroit twenty and a half point favorites two twenty two
- 9:16Speaker 3: and a half total in this one. On the Buck side,
- 9:18Speaker 3: no Miles Turning, no Kuzma obviously still without KPJ, Bob
- 9:22Speaker 3: be honest. On the Detroit side, Isaiah Stewart and Kevin
- 9:26Speaker 3: Herder both questionable. I mean, all you gotta do is
- 9:29Speaker 3: just sort by ownership in this one. No one projecting
- 9:32Speaker 3: for over six percent? Is it one of these clicked
- 9:35Speaker 3: that little circle with a slash through it on both sides,
- 9:38Speaker 3: or you got any pieces on either side?
- 9:42Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 9:43Speaker 4: Like I'd probably keep in Jillan Duran in the playpool
- 9:45Speaker 4: because it's just such a good matchup. But yeah, I
- 9:48Speaker 4: would say that this is probably closer to like a
- 9:50Speaker 4: max one on both sides of it. Just Kate returning
- 9:54Speaker 4: takes off a lot of the upside of basically everybody.
- 9:56Speaker 4: I don't think Kate is going to be anywhere close
- 9:58Speaker 4: to full like probably twenty six to twenty eight minutes.
- 10:01Speaker 4: I don't even think I think he's now ineligible for
- 10:04Speaker 4: the any sort of awards.
- 10:06Speaker 1: I don't.
- 10:07Speaker 4: This feel is just more so kind of getting his
- 10:09Speaker 4: legs back back under him before the playoffs start, but
- 10:12Speaker 4: they're not.
- 10:13Speaker 1: They have no incentive to win, so really no incentive.
- 10:15Speaker 4: To run their guys minutes up just more so I
- 10:17Speaker 4: would say like a dress rehearsal type of thing for
- 10:20Speaker 4: Detroit and kind of a get not a get right spot,
- 10:23Speaker 4: but as far as they could have a lot of
- 10:25Speaker 4: offensive success and just momentum going their way.
- 10:29Speaker 1: So yeah, probably Max one Detroit. Probably the same thing
- 10:34Speaker 1: with Milwaukee.
- 10:34Speaker 4: They do get Ryan Rawlins and Gary Trent Junior back tonight,
- 10:37Speaker 4: so that will make the rotation a little bit deeper
- 10:40Speaker 4: than it was before. I'm not definitely not playing any
- 10:44Speaker 4: Ryan Rawlins at nine point five K. I think that
- 10:46Speaker 4: takes Lusman Dang out of play a lot as well
- 10:49Speaker 4: at seven point three K. And I mean, this is
- 10:50Speaker 4: just not a great matchup for anybody. But like guys
- 10:54Speaker 4: like Prince and A. J. Green, Pete Nance, I guess
- 10:59Speaker 4: those guys are in play a little bit. Gary Trent two, yeah,
- 11:02Speaker 4: I don't know. And Milwaukee's like one of the worst spots.
- 11:05Speaker 4: I would go, like, I'd really be looking to get
- 11:07Speaker 4: away from them because at least with Minnesota, these guys
- 11:10Speaker 4: are cheap and the rotation is pretty straightforward. For Milwaukee,
- 11:14Speaker 4: it's not that straightforward, and they're expensive and it's a
- 11:17Speaker 4: really bad matchup. So I think they just have a
- 11:19Speaker 4: lot working against them. I'd probably look to just get
- 11:21Speaker 4: away from this game in general.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Yeah, I couldn't imagine clicking any of these bucks if
- 11:25Speaker 3: you're playing twenty teams or less. Like you said, not
- 11:27Speaker 3: only they have real price tags, you don't know who
- 11:29Speaker 3: where the minutes are going at the end of the day.
- 11:31Speaker 3: So I comparing a lot of these like five K
- 11:36Speaker 3: Milwaukee guys to the timberwol stuff that we just talked about.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Obviously you get an ownership discount, but give me Ro'd
- 11:42Speaker 3: rather played Paulo or something like that as a conturion spend.
- 11:45Speaker 3: Then I would be playing a Buck as a pivot
- 11:48Speaker 3: in like that mid or lower tier stuff. So that
- 11:50Speaker 3: looks really bad in ye Detroit twenty and that point
- 11:53Speaker 3: favorites Kate back. If you play Duran, I mean, are
- 11:57Speaker 3: you more likely to play Duran Jokic and just double
- 11:59Speaker 3: spend there and get value? Is that like your way?
- 12:02Speaker 3: The Duran's kind of the Denny pivot up top or
- 12:05Speaker 3: would you play him and then not play Jokic really
- 12:07Speaker 3: because obviously both center ol eligible.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Probably a pivot away from Yoks. I would say.
- 12:14Speaker 4: Just looking at the center position as a whole to
- 12:16Speaker 4: see if there's like great value that you'd be passing
- 12:19Speaker 4: up on by playing both of them. But like, there's
- 12:22Speaker 4: definitely a holes of poking Jokis because they're twenty three
- 12:25Speaker 4: point favorites and he probably isn't playing like the last
- 12:29Speaker 4: fifteen minutes of the game. So yeah, I would say
- 12:32Speaker 4: that Duran is mostly just a pivot off of Jokic.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Okay, what's up, Michael, what's going on?
- 12:39Speaker 1: Terry?
- 12:39Speaker 2: Great to see you off topic?
- 12:41Speaker 3: I know, but if I asked you guys last week
- 12:43Speaker 3: few if you guys were playing female, is that a
- 12:46Speaker 3: horseship question?
- 12:47Speaker 2: Please be honest. I mean, it kind of depends who
- 12:49Speaker 2: you're asking.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Like if like I'm Tomorrow and Golf, I think I'm
- 12:53Speaker 3: playing I don't know three hundred and ninety five teams,
- 12:56Speaker 3: so yes, I'm playing female, But that doesn't really tell
- 12:58Speaker 3: you anything, so I do. I think there's probably a
- 13:00Speaker 3: lot better questions to ask if you're playing one person.
- 13:04Speaker 3: If they're playing female, well, they might want to tell
- 13:06Speaker 3: you to go to the site to look at the
- 13:08Speaker 3: core play. But yeah, I don't really know that. It doesn't
- 13:11Speaker 3: matter who it is. It depends on who it is,
- 13:14Speaker 3: like it real plays foreigner teams, and you play one female,
- 13:17Speaker 3: you are playing them. But technically it hardly means anything.
- 13:20Speaker 3: So there's a lot better questions to ask. Is it
- 13:22Speaker 3: a horseshit question? I wouldn't necessarily say that allergies.
- 13:26Speaker 1: No.
- 13:26Speaker 3: I just came back from a bachelor party over the weekend,
- 13:29Speaker 3: and yeah, it was.
- 13:30Speaker 2: An absolute bender.
- 13:31Speaker 3: And my voice is cooked, so that is why I
- 13:33Speaker 3: sound like garbage. All right, I'll keep it rolling to
- 13:36Speaker 3: the next game on the slate, the Atlanta Hawks and
- 13:38Speaker 3: the Cleveland Cavaliers too and a half point favorites of the Cavs,
- 13:41Speaker 3: which is the shortest on the slate two thirty six
- 13:44Speaker 3: and a half total, which is a good one. On
- 13:46Speaker 3: the Atlanta side, no injury news to talk about, not
- 13:49Speaker 3: so much.
- 13:49Speaker 2: On the Cleveland side.
- 13:51Speaker 3: We have Dean Wade and Donovan Mitchell questionable, Jalen Tyson doubtful,
- 13:56Speaker 3: Thomas Bryant out. I definitely think this is a game
- 13:59Speaker 3: we can go to for some mid tier, possibly upper
- 14:02Speaker 3: tier spends in this one. I mean the Atlanta side.
- 14:06Speaker 3: The Donovan Mitchell news is really big. But like Daniels
- 14:09Speaker 3: kaminga c J. A kong Wu, maybe even a Jalen
- 14:13Speaker 3: Johnson contri and spend that one, I'm more curious you
- 14:15Speaker 3: hear your take, but definitely interested in these Hawks. I
- 14:18Speaker 3: think they play minutes or like the normal minutes in
- 14:20Speaker 3: a close game, and Cleveland could only get really good
- 14:23Speaker 3: if there was no Donovan Mitchell. So actually Sabers not
- 14:26Speaker 3: showing questionable, I think you okay, So I guess that
- 14:31Speaker 3: makes it a little less appealing, But I mean, we're
- 14:33Speaker 3: seeing very low ownership on these guys in what should
- 14:36Speaker 3: be a close game.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Do you expect their minutes to be normal?
- 14:39Speaker 1: Yeah? I do.
- 14:40Speaker 4: But before I go into this game, I we're trying
- 14:43Speaker 4: to remember what your drink of choice was.
- 14:44Speaker 1: I know it is diet coke. Was it die coke
- 14:46Speaker 1: and tequila or vodka.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Vaka dia coke? Yeah? I hit a lot of those,
- 14:50Speaker 2: for sure.
- 14:51Speaker 4: I was trying to I was trying to line it
- 14:53Speaker 4: over under on how many of those you slammed this
- 14:55Speaker 4: past weekend?
- 14:57Speaker 3: Whatever was take the over as well as some some
- 15:00Speaker 3: other druggist stuff having some fun not just listen wee
- 15:03Speaker 3: and some addie and some fun stuff. Nothing, no craziness,
- 15:06Speaker 3: but from someone that does not drink hardly ever does
- 15:09Speaker 3: not do his stuff when I do go out and
- 15:11Speaker 3: then you talk more a lot of music. Yeah, I
- 15:14Speaker 3: don't the sound has been helped in the past two
- 15:16Speaker 3: two days. But not feeling good over here.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Hopefully you feel better in a couple of days. But thanks.
- 15:24Speaker 4: Yeah, this one, I do expect both seem to play
- 15:26Speaker 4: it straight up. Cleveland not really playing for much right
- 15:29Speaker 4: now because they I think that they would prefer to
- 15:31Speaker 4: be the fourth seed then the third seed in the
- 15:35Speaker 4: East because then you'd be avoiding Boston in that second round.
- 15:38Speaker 4: And I just think that probably Detroit is a little
- 15:40Speaker 4: bit of a better matchup for them. I think Boston's
- 15:43Speaker 4: probably a terrible matchup for everybody, but definitely think that they'd.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Probably want to stay where they're at right now. But yeah,
- 15:50Speaker 1: just kind of like.
- 15:50Speaker 4: Thinking back to last year, I think that Cleveland was
- 15:53Speaker 4: kind of locked in where they were in the seedings.
- 15:55Speaker 4: Then they gave their guys rest, and I think Kenny
- 15:59Speaker 4: Atkinson was kind of just thinking like he should have
- 16:01Speaker 4: probably played his guy more down the stretch, just to
- 16:03Speaker 4: get them ready for playoff like minutes and kind of
- 16:06Speaker 4: get them more acclimated as a team because we haven't
- 16:09Speaker 4: really seen a ton of the Mitchell hard and mobile
- 16:12Speaker 4: Jared Allen minutes. So I think that they will play
- 16:14Speaker 4: this game straight up their favorite here. But this is
- 16:17Speaker 4: a bigger game for the Hawks for sure because they
- 16:20Speaker 4: are highly motivated to hold on to that number five seed.
- 16:22Speaker 4: So I would expect the minute to be up there
- 16:24Speaker 4: for these guys. The rotation is going to be really tight.
- 16:27Speaker 4: We saw a Congo get to thirty seven minutes. I
- 16:28Speaker 4: think Jalen played forty plus in that game against the Knicks.
- 16:33Speaker 4: We know that Nick, Alexander Walker, and Dyson and CJ
- 16:37Speaker 4: are going to play a ton, so I think it's
- 16:38Speaker 4: pretty straightforward on who you're going to play, Like, all
- 16:41Speaker 4: five of these guys are very very much in play here.
- 16:45Speaker 4: I think I would prefer to get to one of
- 16:47Speaker 4: naw or Okongu over Jalen tonight. It's just been a
- 16:51Speaker 4: little bit tougher when the Hawks are fully healthy to
- 16:54Speaker 4: get that type of score that you need from Jalen
- 16:56Speaker 4: at this price tag. Maybe it's a little bit different
- 16:59Speaker 4: this time of the year, just with kind of there
- 17:02Speaker 4: being so many unknowns, like raw points do matter a
- 17:04Speaker 4: little bit more. But at the same kind of to
- 17:06Speaker 4: like counteract that point, there's probably gonna be a lot
- 17:09Speaker 4: of really big scores in like the mid tier and
- 17:11Speaker 4: cheap value guys that you could probably get away from
- 17:15Speaker 4: Jalen Johnson, Like we think about last night, you had
- 17:17Speaker 4: you could have played four Pelicans and two Jazz guys
- 17:20Speaker 4: that nobody was really on, and you would have looked
- 17:24Speaker 4: really good, like Contra had fifty. I think Kenny Chandler
- 17:27Speaker 4: had like sixty.
- 17:28Speaker 1: Fears Pool Queen all did really well.
- 17:30Speaker 4: So I could see something like that happening with these
- 17:32Speaker 4: other teams tonight, because I do expect some more guys
- 17:35Speaker 4: that get ruled out as we get close to the lock.
- 17:36Speaker 4: But this is a game where both rotations should be
- 17:40Speaker 4: should be pretty straightforward, so from that, like you know
- 17:44Speaker 4: where the minutes are going here. So I think that
- 17:46Speaker 4: you do have to have consideration all these guys. Cleveland
- 17:49Speaker 4: maybe a little bit less so because it's been tougher
- 17:51Speaker 4: to get ceiling games from these guys when they're fully healthy.
- 17:55Speaker 4: But I mean Mitchell, Hard and Mobi all in play.
- 17:58Speaker 4: I think Moby's probably my least favorit because he's looked
- 18:01Speaker 4: his role has been pretty bad while sharing the core
- 18:03Speaker 4: with Jared Allen. I think that James Harden just prefers
- 18:05Speaker 4: Jared Allen as his pick and roll partner. Strew's four
- 18:08Speaker 4: point a k I think a high upside value play
- 18:11Speaker 4: that probably won't get owned, but I'll probably be looking
- 18:13Speaker 4: to the guards Donovan or Harden, but not a not
- 18:17Speaker 4: easy matchup. They do have some really good guard defenders
- 18:19Speaker 4: in Atlanta, so I think it's gonna be a tougher
- 18:22Speaker 4: game for Cleveland to show upside.
- 18:23Speaker 1: I think Atlanta you can definitely.
- 18:24Speaker 2: Go to them, though how many Atlanta's too many.
- 18:29Speaker 1: I'd probably keep it a too.
- 18:31Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Did I miss you
- 18:34Speaker 2: say anything about kaminga.
- 18:36Speaker 1: Not really on my radar, But yeah, I don't really cheat.
- 18:40Speaker 3: But like, there's so many cheap players on this slate,
- 18:43Speaker 3: and most of them have people that are out next
- 18:46Speaker 3: to them that boost their role ONLI kamingas, so that
- 18:49Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's so much value.
- 18:51Speaker 4: There's gonna be guys in that same range that are
- 18:53Speaker 4: playing thirty plus minutes.
- 18:54Speaker 1: I just don't really see it. I don't. I don't
- 18:56Speaker 1: think that he's necessary.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree with you there. Before we do
- 19:00Speaker 2: get to the next game, let me just show you
- 19:03Speaker 2: quick right here. Look at that.
- 19:05Speaker 3: It's beautiful homepage and PGA Masters Special. Obviously you're watching hoops,
- 19:10Speaker 3: probably don't want the special just golf because you're playing
- 19:13Speaker 3: some other sports. But tomorrow is Masters, very very excited.
- 19:17Speaker 3: The prize are absolutely insane. On DraftKings, FANDLE has solid
- 19:21Speaker 3: ones as well. Not only golf going on of course,
- 19:24Speaker 3: MBA and the playoffs coming up soon, MLB going on.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Main slate is still kicking.
- 19:28Speaker 3: MMA pay per view really good, no such thing as
- 19:32Speaker 3: a pay per view, but insane card this week. NASCAR
- 19:36Speaker 3: and NHL all going on a lot of good prizes.
- 19:38Speaker 3: So six sports bottom left Join the nation if you
- 19:41Speaker 3: do want to join, can get in as low as
- 19:43Speaker 3: nineteen dollars. That'll be five days, so you will get
- 19:46Speaker 3: MMA content, NASCAR content, PGAPGA Showdown, a bunch of big prizes,
- 19:52Speaker 3: you get Sabersim, you get the Discord five days of
- 19:55Speaker 3: content for only nineteen dollars. Definitely think that is the
- 19:58Speaker 3: best deal if you're looking at take advantage. If you
- 20:01Speaker 3: are just looking for US our NBA content throughout the playoffs.
- 20:04Speaker 3: You can get that for as low as twenty nine dollars,
- 20:07Speaker 3: less than a dollar a day. Only twenty more dollars
- 20:09Speaker 3: does get you Sabor Sim as well. Again MLB a
- 20:13Speaker 3: very fun sport, Nascar, MMA, BGA massive prizes. So I
- 20:17Speaker 3: think if you haven't tried US, I think this five
- 20:20Speaker 3: days for nineteen dollars probably the best deal to get
- 20:23Speaker 3: in and you get the Discord and savorsim to very
- 20:26Speaker 3: big pieces of our product. Let's keep it rolling to
- 20:30Speaker 3: the next game. On the slates, Sabersim deathly has it off.
- 20:34Speaker 3: I think it's one oh six point five is that
- 20:36Speaker 3: Memphis team total versus Denver? They find themselves as twenty
- 20:40Speaker 3: three and a half point underdogs. Big boy total two
- 20:42Speaker 3: forty seven and a half on the injury report on
- 20:46Speaker 3: the Denver side, no Spencer Jones, no Peyton Watson. On
- 20:49Speaker 3: the Memphis side, no Gg Jackson, no Cam Spencer, Aliver
- 20:55Speaker 3: Max and Prospers doubtful. Man Mayshack is questionable. You can
- 21:01Speaker 3: let me know if I missed anything there. But it
- 21:04Speaker 3: is that time of the year where this Tarique Whitehead
- 21:06Speaker 3: guy will be looking at some of the most ownership
- 21:09Speaker 3: on the site. Kind of like we just talked about Minga,
- 21:12Speaker 3: where you can play Whitehead with all these other dudes
- 21:15Speaker 3: out shorter rotation, huge job grade, or you can play
- 21:18Speaker 3: Kaminga next to his usual guys where minutes or more
- 21:21Speaker 3: down and he's competing for more usage. So that's kind
- 21:25Speaker 3: of the point with Rio saying, I feel like we've
- 21:27Speaker 3: been on NBA shows talking about Memphis for weeks, and
- 21:31Speaker 3: they never have anyone price above six k. They're always
- 21:33Speaker 3: somewhat shorthanded and somewhat in play. On the Denver side, yeah,
- 21:37Speaker 3: I mean, Jokich is definitely going to be owned. You
- 21:40Speaker 3: have the money to spend for him. He could play
- 21:42Speaker 3: twenty five minutes and probably crushing this spot. But is
- 21:45Speaker 3: Jamal an interesting pivot for you? Looks like he's definitely
- 21:48Speaker 3: getting ownership, but I think this gap will be wider
- 21:52Speaker 3: when it's all said and done.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Take it away Denver and the Grizzlies.
- 21:56Speaker 4: So one thing that kind of stood out was looking
- 21:59Speaker 4: at the last game Grizzlies played. I think they broke
- 22:01Speaker 4: the three point record in a game still ended up losing,
- 22:05Speaker 4: but made I think they broke the record for mad
- 22:09Speaker 4: threes in a game they lost. Yeah, they lost to
- 22:12Speaker 4: the Calves. I think they lost by like double digits too,
- 22:15Speaker 4: So it's just like, I don't know how that is
- 22:17Speaker 4: even possible. Wow, But but the Nuggets gave up I
- 22:22Speaker 4: think twenty five threes, so the Blazers last game, who
- 22:25Speaker 4: are not really a good three point shooting team, so
- 22:26Speaker 4: like outside chance that they're able to keep it close
- 22:29Speaker 4: enough where we get full run from the Denver guys.
- 22:32Speaker 4: I think, regardless, you're still considering all of these guys
- 22:34Speaker 4: because they are too cheap for the matchup and too
- 22:39Speaker 4: cheap for their upside in this matchup. And we know
- 22:41Speaker 4: that they're gonna run things pretty tight, pretty like they're
- 22:44Speaker 4: not going to go deep into their bench early, where
- 22:46Speaker 4: I think some other guys like Detroit and like, I mean,
- 22:50Speaker 4: there's other teams on the slate, like Milwaukee, other teams
- 22:52Speaker 4: that will go deeper into their bench. I think San
- 22:54Speaker 4: Antonio is another team that could do that. But we
- 22:56Speaker 4: know that Denver is gonna play. It's pretty straightforward. But
- 23:00Speaker 4: who we're considering on the Memphis side of things, I
- 23:01Speaker 4: do think these guys are in play. I would not
- 23:04Speaker 4: be looking to anybody that has any sort of long
- 23:06Speaker 4: term value. With the Grizzlies moving forwards, that would take
- 23:09Speaker 4: out such a Coward Hendrix and Walter Clayton Junior. And
- 23:13Speaker 4: then if Mayshok were to miss, then we're talking about one, two, three, four,
- 23:19Speaker 4: five guys you're basically considering, and that would be Lucas Williamson,
- 23:23Speaker 4: Derek Whitehead, Adamo Ball, Toby o'connie, and Ryan Rupair.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Now Ryan Rupaer is.
- 23:28Speaker 4: A guy we do have to keep an eye on
- 23:30Speaker 4: because I think he only has one game left on
- 23:31Speaker 4: his contract and they have I don't know, probably three
- 23:35Speaker 4: more games in the season, so he'll have to sit
- 23:37Speaker 4: one of those three games if he plays tonight, definitely
- 23:40Speaker 4: has to be strongly in consideration. We saw him put
- 23:43Speaker 4: up like seventy points over the weekend. He had a
- 23:45Speaker 4: triple double. But I mean, Whitehead is actually like a
- 23:50Speaker 4: decent player. He was a fairly high draftick if I remember,
- 23:54Speaker 4: I know that he was pretty highly talented coming into
- 23:56Speaker 4: the NBA. But definitely a guy that has talent and
- 23:58Speaker 4: he's been playing a ton of minutes. I feel like
- 24:00Speaker 4: he's my favorite overall. And then I would say Rupeir
- 24:03Speaker 4: is second. If he does play this Adama ball guy
- 24:06Speaker 4: doesn't seem like he's very good. Lucas Williamson maybe has
- 24:10Speaker 4: a little bit of games. I probably consider him because
- 24:11Speaker 4: he's gonna be playing thirty plus minutes, and then Toby
- 24:14Speaker 4: o'connie also, I mean he he might be like a
- 24:17Speaker 4: do nothing type of guy because he played I think
- 24:20Speaker 4: forty minutes.
- 24:22Speaker 1: I just went to double check.
- 24:22Speaker 4: He played thirty two minutes last game, put up seven
- 24:26Speaker 4: fantasy points, but played forty one minutes two games ago
- 24:28Speaker 4: put up fourteen points, seventy five fantasy points. And he's
- 24:32Speaker 4: probably gonna get ownership. Like, just play Whitehead over him.
- 24:35Speaker 4: I don't even care like it. I don't think he
- 24:37Speaker 4: should be getting any ownership. Just play Whitehead and Williamson
- 24:40Speaker 4: and repair and then move on. No, Walter Clayton, I'm
- 24:45Speaker 4: not Yeah, I'm not on any any guy that has
- 24:48Speaker 4: any sort of long term value for Memphis I'd get
- 24:50Speaker 4: away from. Like I'll play all the two way guys
- 24:52Speaker 4: right now. So like that for me, it's I'm axing
- 24:54Speaker 4: out Coward, Hendricks and Clayton.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Yeah, And the only reason I mentioned that, Like I
- 24:59Speaker 3: don't know, I know if they're going to get that ownership,
- 25:01Speaker 3: they definitely could. But that's that's a pretty big edge
- 25:03Speaker 3: on this slate. If you are right, when it's all
- 25:05Speaker 3: said and done, that's going to be at least people
- 25:08Speaker 3: paying the rake, and I assume more that are going
- 25:10Speaker 3: to be playing those other guys, and you are going
- 25:12Speaker 3: to get somewhat of a discount on some of those
- 25:15Speaker 3: other guys you mentioned, So that's an important spot.
- 25:17Speaker 2: On the slate.
- 25:19Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Denver pretty straightforward. Like Jokic. You probably
- 25:22Speaker 4: have the money for him. I think you probably play
- 25:24Speaker 4: him in single entry and then play Denny and then
- 25:27Speaker 4: move around some of these other value plays that you're considering.
- 25:29Speaker 4: But yeah, I just don't like there's no way that
- 25:31Speaker 4: he doesn't. He probably has a first half triple double.
- 25:35Speaker 4: I don't know if you can bet that, but I
- 25:36Speaker 4: think that he's probably doing that. Like this Memphis team
- 25:39Speaker 4: has just given up so many points at the room.
- 25:41Speaker 4: They're terrible at rebounding, terrible at defending. So he's gonna
- 25:45Speaker 4: he'll have a big stat line pretty early on this game,
- 25:47Speaker 4: i'd imagine. And then Jamal eight point four k pretty
- 25:50Speaker 4: good price hect for him, even in limited minutes. I'd
- 25:53Speaker 4: probably get away from Aaron Gordon just because I think
- 25:55Speaker 4: this would be a game that they dial back his
- 25:56Speaker 4: minutes because he's probably i mean, outside of Jokich and
- 25:59Speaker 4: Murray for like obvious reasons, he's probably the most important
- 26:02Speaker 4: player on the Nuggets, So you got to come into
- 26:05Speaker 4: the playoffs with him healthy. I just don't really think
- 26:07Speaker 4: that they should even play him tonight, but he's in.
- 26:11Speaker 4: And then Cam Johnson Brown both Browns, and then Tim
- 26:14Speaker 4: hard Junior. I think are guys that maybe are just
- 26:16Speaker 4: like pivots off some of the other value plays because
- 26:18Speaker 4: they're in a good spot as well.
- 26:20Speaker 2: None of them are getting garbage time run though, are there.
- 26:24Speaker 1: I don't think so.
- 26:25Speaker 4: It's probably like Joe Val maybe straw the and then
- 26:29Speaker 4: I don't know, like.
- 26:30Speaker 3: Picket Picket, Yeah, maybe down there just I guess one
- 26:36Speaker 3: of them.
- 26:38Speaker 2: If that's all they have active, Almost one of them's
- 26:40Speaker 2: forced too.
- 26:44Speaker 4: They have enough bodies I think where they don't really
- 26:46Speaker 4: need to because just just Wat Watson and specially Jones unavailable.
- 26:50Speaker 4: So they have like Kaje Simpson, David Roddy, Tis Jones,
- 26:54Speaker 4: Curtis Jones.
- 26:56Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, then it makes me a lot hart It
- 27:00Speaker 3: makes it hard for me to click a Hardway Cam
- 27:02Speaker 3: Bruce Brown that just because you're comparing him to Memphis
- 27:06Speaker 3: or Minnesota or other stuff where you're playing against Yo next.
- 27:10Speaker 2: I guess i'd if I would, it'd be like a
- 27:12Speaker 2: Hardway Camp.
- 27:12Speaker 3: I'd want the threes like I just would want the
- 27:15Speaker 3: Yokich is going for twenty five assists today and he
- 27:18Speaker 3: just keeps getting double kicks it to open threes and
- 27:21Speaker 3: guys that will do it that way a little.
- 27:22Speaker 2: More than Bruce Brown. So I guess it's not the
- 27:24Speaker 2: craziest thing.
- 27:25Speaker 3: But that's why they're so low on because when you
- 27:28Speaker 3: compare their projection to some of this other value like
- 27:31Speaker 3: Minnesota and Memphis, it's a lot more difficult with them
- 27:34Speaker 3: sharing the court with Yo Kic and Jamal.
- 27:37Speaker 2: But I think Yo.
- 27:39Speaker 3: Kich is, i mean, probably the best player on the slate.
- 27:41Speaker 3: It's so easy to get him. He's going to be
- 27:43Speaker 3: out there quite a bit. In twenty five minutes. He
- 27:46Speaker 3: could easily break the slates. So, but Jamal's a good pivot.
- 27:49Speaker 3: You wouldn't play both together, would you, Uh?
- 27:54Speaker 1: Probably not? I don't think so.
- 27:55Speaker 3: It feels tough on the slate for both of them,
- 27:58Speaker 3: And at twenty three and a half.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Point and spread to get there.
- 28:00Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean Memphis would I'd be running like
- 28:04Speaker 3: four Memphis guys and just really thinking they're smashing to
- 28:07Speaker 3: keep this game close.
- 28:07Speaker 1: It'd be tough. Yeah, all right, we'll keep it rolling.
- 28:11Speaker 3: Next game on the slate, the Portland Trailblazers and the
- 28:13Speaker 3: San Antonio Spurs through that point favorites other Spurs. Two
- 28:16Speaker 3: twenty eight and a half total in this one on
- 28:18Speaker 3: the Spurs side, no Wemby, no Castle on the Portland side,
- 28:21Speaker 3: no new injuries to talk about. You did mention, so
- 28:25Speaker 3: these port Spurs are definitely going to get some ownership,
- 28:27Speaker 3: but you seem a little hesitant on what the Spurs
- 28:30Speaker 3: were gonna do. Rotation guys definitely have plenty of bodies,
- 28:33Speaker 3: but like you see, Fox, Harper, Cornett all getting a
- 28:37Speaker 3: decent amount of ownership. On the other side, Portland's more thin.
- 28:41Speaker 3: They're going to keep it more condensed. Denny will be
- 28:43Speaker 3: a spend that a lot of people go to. I
- 28:45Speaker 3: think Denny Jokich is probably how a lot of people
- 28:47Speaker 3: start their teams. My man, I love to see it.
- 28:50Speaker 3: Matist Thaibile, first time I've seen them pop up here
- 28:53Speaker 3: all year. But I'll let you take it away, Trailblazers
- 28:56Speaker 3: and the Spurs.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Yeah, so the Blazer side is probably the most straightforward
- 29:01Speaker 4: spot on the slate minus the Atlanta side, because they
- 29:04Speaker 4: have a lot to play for and they play before
- 29:07Speaker 4: the Clippers tip off. So this is a game that
- 29:10Speaker 4: they definitely need to win because Clippers and the Blazers
- 29:12Speaker 4: are kind of battling for that bottom spot in the
- 29:15Speaker 4: play and I just want to pull up the standings
- 29:17Speaker 4: real quick before confirming them. I know they're going for
- 29:20Speaker 4: that last spot. Yeah, they're going for the eight to
- 29:21Speaker 4: nine spot. So that makes a pretty big difference in
- 29:25Speaker 4: in terms of the play in. So I think that
- 29:27Speaker 4: they'll be going all out for this one. And with
- 29:29Speaker 4: the Spurs losing Wembing Castle and really not having much
- 29:32Speaker 4: to play for, like there's the slimmest of chances that
- 29:36Speaker 4: they could catch okay see, but okay, see, we need
- 29:38Speaker 4: to lose out and they're probably not doing that. So
- 29:41Speaker 4: the Spurs I just don't see a reason to run
- 29:44Speaker 4: up minutes on. Like the older guys like Aaron Fox,
- 29:47Speaker 4: Luke Cornett, Harrison Barnes are three guys I could see
- 29:51Speaker 4: really getting died back a little bit, I think maybe
- 29:53Speaker 4: to a lesser degree of the cell Champagne, Harper, Keldon.
- 29:57Speaker 4: I think Harper is a great value plates and I
- 29:59Speaker 4: though he's gonna be starting, he should be starting that
- 30:02Speaker 4: For most of the season, they've been going with Harrison
- 30:04Speaker 4: Barnes in the starting lamp whenever somebody missed. But the
- 30:08Speaker 4: last time that Castle miss, I think, or Fox miss,
- 30:11Speaker 4: he did start, So he should get the start tonight,
- 30:14Speaker 4: and it's kind of good regardless. I'm really in on Harper,
- 30:17Speaker 4: but I'd be pretty cautious on dearon Fox. I'd be
- 30:20Speaker 4: cautious on Luke Cornette. I would honestly be willing to
- 30:23Speaker 4: take shots on like Carter Bryant at three point six
- 30:25Speaker 4: K because nobody's gonna play him. I think this is
- 30:27Speaker 4: part where he'll play more minutes, more minutes unprojected. I
- 30:32Speaker 4: don't think i'd go there on Olenock, but he's another
- 30:33Speaker 4: guy could see getting a little bit more minutes than
- 30:36Speaker 4: usual here, and he's a pretty good permanent producer. I
- 30:38Speaker 4: think you're geting a little bit too cute there, But
- 30:40Speaker 4: mainly is what I'm trying to say is that I
- 30:42Speaker 4: would be lower on Fox and Cordinet than usual because
- 30:45Speaker 4: they just don't really have much to play for. It
- 30:46Speaker 4: doesn't make sense to run them out there for full
- 30:48Speaker 4: minutes and risk any sort of injury. But the Blazer side,
- 30:52Speaker 4: I think Denny is I hate to use the word lock,
- 30:56Speaker 4: but I feel like you're starting with him in sing
- 30:57Speaker 4: leuntries tonight. I mean, they're just playing these guys so
- 30:59Speaker 4: many minutes and they have a lot to play for.
- 31:01Speaker 4: The matchup is gonna get a lot better with no
- 31:03Speaker 4: Castle out or with with Castle out. Role has been great,
- 31:06Speaker 4: matchups even better. So I really have nothing else to
- 31:08Speaker 4: add about him. I think that you start with him
- 31:10Speaker 4: in single entries after that, I mean, these guys aren't
- 31:13Speaker 4: getting a crazy amount of ownership. I need to reload
- 31:16Speaker 4: Saber to see what they had on the Blazers guys.
- 31:19Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean that's that's pretty interesting because these
- 31:24Speaker 4: guys are playing a lot of minutes right now. It's
- 31:25Speaker 4: a game that they want to win. That's gonna that
- 31:28Speaker 4: projects to be closed. Like Drew Holliday had no ownership,
- 31:31Speaker 4: He's been playing great. I think that he's in play.
- 31:34Speaker 4: I think timany Kamara has been shooting the ball really
- 31:37Speaker 4: lights out as of late. He's playing a ton of minutes,
- 31:39Speaker 4: like he's got to be in play maybe less so
- 31:43Speaker 4: clinging and like time lords because they're splitting minutes together.
- 31:46Speaker 4: Scoot got to thirty six last game and then your
- 31:48Speaker 4: boy matisse Tible. They're finally starting to play him more minutes.
- 31:51Speaker 4: I just don't know why it took them so long,
- 31:53Speaker 4: because he just plays a winning brand of basketball in
- 31:55Speaker 4: my opinion. But I mean, he's actually shown much better
- 31:59Speaker 4: permanent upside this season than any season in the in
- 32:03Speaker 4: the past. I have to double check that to confirm,
- 32:05Speaker 4: but like, he's been really good as a permanent guy
- 32:07Speaker 4: this season, just not really consistent minutes. But now he's
- 32:10Speaker 4: starting to play more minutes. I think that he's a
- 32:12Speaker 4: pretty strong option. I think Portland Side is really good tonight.
- 32:17Speaker 3: So he's still sitting in the corner just hitting down
- 32:19Speaker 3: open threes and hounding dudes, or is he getting to
- 32:22Speaker 3: the rack more, moving around more from the corner.
- 32:26Speaker 4: I think he's just getting more involved like on maybe
- 32:28Speaker 4: on ball and like with rebounding and stuff.
- 32:32Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know, he's looks.
- 32:35Speaker 3: He's always a season five two three steals, three three
- 32:39Speaker 3: threes zero one. I mean, yeah, for anyone that's been
- 32:42Speaker 3: found me any bit of time him, Jaden McDaniels, Drew Holliday,
- 32:47Speaker 3: Gary Payton the third. I mean, give me all these
- 32:50Speaker 3: dudes that they're gonna compete, eyeball is I shout out
- 32:53Speaker 3: to Washington, any Washington fans out there.
- 32:55Speaker 2: They played zone, they played two three zone back in
- 32:57Speaker 2: the day.
- 32:57Speaker 3: But man him at the top left the right side,
- 33:01Speaker 3: his hands were absolutely instating. His instincts are off the charts.
- 33:04Speaker 3: So yeah, absolute menus for sure. Not sure it takes
- 33:08Speaker 3: these guys so long.
- 33:09Speaker 4: Last year it was his best fantasy season, but he
- 33:12Speaker 4: only played three hundred and seven minutes. This year he's played, sorry,
- 33:15Speaker 4: he only played three hundred twelve minutes. This year, he's
- 33:18Speaker 4: played four thirty. But he's at point nine to five
- 33:20Speaker 4: Fantasy points for minut where he's been like zero point six,
- 33:23Speaker 4: zero point seven pretty much every season prior.
- 33:26Speaker 3: And it feels like it's four to thirty minutes. What
- 33:27Speaker 3: half of them came in the past, like month and
- 33:29Speaker 3: a half or something like. Yeah, he was he was
- 33:32Speaker 3: never getting anything early, so I like it. So it
- 33:35Speaker 3: sounds like you think Denny's more of a lock than
- 33:38Speaker 3: Yo Kich.
- 33:39Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean if I'm playing single entry, which if
- 33:42Speaker 4: you're even playing nbad if at this point of season,
- 33:45Speaker 4: then kudos to you. I'd probably be starting with Denny
- 33:47Speaker 4: and Yo Kich and then just building around them.
- 33:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's zero, definitely is.
- 33:53Speaker 3: But there's enough mid tier, lower tier options you already
- 33:56Speaker 3: talked about on Memphis stuff. There's Minnesota guys that really
- 33:59Speaker 3: aren't getting too much ownership.
- 34:00Speaker 2: You mentioned enough.
- 34:02Speaker 3: Pivots even in this game, Kamara Drew Hollidays a thigh. Well,
- 34:06Speaker 3: these guys aren't getting too much ownership, and sounds like
- 34:09Speaker 3: you like it quite a bit. All right, we will
- 34:11Speaker 3: keep it rolling to the next game. On the slate,
- 34:14Speaker 3: Oka See Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers. The Thunder are
- 34:17Speaker 3: eight and that point favorites two twenty five and a
- 34:19Speaker 3: half total in this one. On the okay S side,
- 34:22Speaker 3: no injury to talk about. On the Clippers side, no
- 34:25Speaker 3: Darius Garland and that is the new No. That is
- 34:28Speaker 3: the only injury news there. Sorting my ownership, the only
- 34:32Speaker 3: one getting double digit ownership is Kawhi. But I mean,
- 34:35Speaker 3: if you're starting with Denny and Jokic or just Denny
- 34:38Speaker 3: in general, it's a little harder to get to Kawhi,
- 34:40Speaker 3: his shooting guard and small ford eligible as eight and
- 34:44Speaker 3: a half point Dogs though in a low total against
- 34:47Speaker 3: a healthy OK seed team, feels like a little uphill battle.
- 34:50Speaker 2: So this game looks more like the Detroit Milwaukee game.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Make a seven games slate a five games slate? How
- 34:55Speaker 2: do you see it?
- 34:56Speaker 1: Yeah? Pretty much see it similarly.
- 34:58Speaker 4: I think that the Garland News I was not expecting
- 35:01Speaker 4: that because, like I said, Portland and Clippers are vying
- 35:05Speaker 4: for the last spot. Maybe they just kind of knew
- 35:07Speaker 4: that they'd lose this game because okay See is fully healthy.
- 35:10Speaker 4: Like they don't even have Harnstan and Caruso listed on
- 35:12Speaker 4: a back to back, So really good chance that okay
- 35:16Speaker 4: See wins this game easily. So I'd be very cautious
- 35:19Speaker 4: about playing any Clippers guys tonight. They play the Blazers
- 35:22Speaker 4: on Friday, so that's the game where they'll be loading
- 35:24Speaker 4: up the minutes.
- 35:25Speaker 1: But for sure, I.
- 35:26Speaker 4: Think the Blazers will still play their guys full tonight,
- 35:29Speaker 4: but Clippers much less so.
- 35:30Speaker 1: And then I just don't see.
- 35:32Speaker 4: A reason or how you can get to okay See
- 35:35Speaker 4: on this iye of slate when they have their guys
- 35:37Speaker 4: fully healthy like maybe Shaye does enough in more limited
- 35:41Speaker 4: minutes to be viable, but I doubt it. So this
- 35:45Speaker 4: is like the Milwaukee Detroit game to me, like Max
- 35:47Speaker 4: one probably.
- 35:49Speaker 2: Yep, seven games slate, make it a five game slate
- 35:51Speaker 2: after you go X X X and X.
- 35:57Speaker 3: All right, last game of the night, ten PM, Eastern
- 36:00Speaker 3: Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns twelve and that point.
- 36:02Speaker 3: Favorites are the Sons two thirty three and a half
- 36:05Speaker 3: total in this one. On the Dallas side, Caleb Martin
- 36:09Speaker 3: out and then Clay Brandon Williams, Naji Marshall Gafford and
- 36:14Speaker 3: PJ alldoubtfol unless uh there was any is that Greg
- 36:18Speaker 3: still all doubt?
- 36:19Speaker 2: Phil? We haven't heard any news since yep, okay.
- 36:23Speaker 3: And then on the Phoenix side, Mark Williams got ruled
- 36:26Speaker 3: out shortly before the show or right on it, and
- 36:28Speaker 3: then Grayson Allen is questionable. All right, We're looking at
- 36:34Speaker 3: some ownership in this game, Bagley d Book, Goodwin, maybe Igadora,
- 36:40Speaker 3: probably not at center. I was hoping because Mark Williams
- 36:42Speaker 3: was out, but we got three guys looking to get
- 36:45Speaker 3: a little ownership, and after that pretty much nothing. Can
- 36:48Speaker 3: you make a case for some of these Dallas guys
- 36:50Speaker 3: being better value or at least pivots and viable value
- 36:54Speaker 3: off of Minnesota Memphis stuff is my main question.
- 36:57Speaker 1: I definitely could.
- 36:58Speaker 4: Like this feels like the spot like you two last night,
- 37:00Speaker 4: where there's a lot of unknowns about the rotation but
- 37:04Speaker 4: clear upside.
- 37:06Speaker 1: Oh so somebody hit a bomb in that. Uh the
- 37:10Speaker 1: Rockies game was good? Yep, good one. Nice one guy
- 37:13Speaker 1: I don't have.
- 37:16Speaker 3: The player has been on fire, not as bad as uh,
- 37:19Speaker 3: not as fire as bald when they'll beach balls.
- 37:26Speaker 4: But yeah, I would, so I definitely want to take
- 37:28Speaker 4: shots on these guys on the Dallas side of things.
- 37:30Speaker 4: I feel like Flag pretty clear number one option, like
- 37:33Speaker 4: they're still trying to get him the Rookie of the
- 37:34Speaker 4: Year stuff. And this is a game where they're double
- 37:37Speaker 4: digit underdogs. I feel like, you don't really need to
- 37:38Speaker 4: worry about winning this game. But they are more incentivized
- 37:42Speaker 4: to lose than they are to win, obviously because they are.
- 37:47Speaker 1: They Pelicans got to.
- 37:48Speaker 4: Win last night, so they'll be pretty locked into where
- 37:52Speaker 4: they are with the loss here in the tankathon standings
- 37:54Speaker 4: because they are the one game ahead of them. Memphis
- 37:57Speaker 4: placed the night against Denver, so that's another loss for them.
- 38:00Speaker 4: So yeah, Dallas definitely looking to lose. And then the
- 38:04Speaker 4: Suns are locked into where they are in the seven spot.
- 38:06Speaker 4: They can't move up or down. So surprised that they're
- 38:09Speaker 4: playing their guys here because there was some coach speak
- 38:13Speaker 4: that's saying that they probably played the guys a little
- 38:15Speaker 4: bit too much. We knew that Mark Williams wasn't gonna play,
- 38:17Speaker 4: but I mean it's a great spot for Phoenix. Dallas
- 38:21Speaker 4: is terrible in defense, terrible rim defense.
- 38:23Speaker 1: They have no guard.
- 38:23Speaker 4: Defenders like Booker and Jalen Green are in a good
- 38:26Speaker 4: spot here, but Dylan Brooks takes away usage from them.
- 38:30Speaker 4: Grayson Allen got upgrade to questionable, so a little bit
- 38:32Speaker 4: tougher to get to the Phoenix side. But I would
- 38:34Speaker 4: say that they are in a very appealing matchup here.
- 38:39Speaker 4: But one guy I definitely want to take a shot on.
- 38:40Speaker 4: I guess it's kind of two guys, but mainly just
- 38:42Speaker 4: the front court guys on Dallas, because we saw Phoenix
- 38:46Speaker 4: really struggle at the rim when Mark Williams was off
- 38:49Speaker 4: the court. He's not even that great of a defender,
- 38:51Speaker 4: but just they got a lot worse with him off
- 38:52Speaker 4: the court, like I would definitely want to take shots
- 38:55Speaker 4: on Musa Cis at three K. I talked about him
- 38:57Speaker 4: a lot earlier in the season. He's a really good
- 38:58Speaker 4: permanent guy. I'm more or I did play a couple
- 39:02Speaker 4: of minutes the last time that he was actively twenty
- 39:03Speaker 4: two and twenty six, and he should be active tonight.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Don't really see it.
- 39:07Speaker 4: They have ran like a three man rotation at center,
- 39:10Speaker 4: which is annoying. But yeah, I think that he's really
- 39:13Speaker 4: got the upside that could blow away the position from
- 39:15Speaker 4: a point per dollars standpoints, I do have a good
- 39:17Speaker 4: amount of interest in him, good amount of interest in
- 39:19Speaker 4: Badley as well, because he kind of profiles similarly. Probably
- 39:23Speaker 4: it though Nemar. Someone asked, I guess, uh, I don't know.
- 39:30Speaker 4: He isn't at Middleton. I guess at three point six k.
- 39:34Speaker 4: You probably need him to get it done in limited
- 39:36Speaker 4: minutes because I don't think he's playing a Ton. I'd
- 39:38Speaker 4: probably just rather take shots outside of Cooper Flag, like
- 39:42Speaker 4: away from the older guys, like away from Middleton, away
- 39:44Speaker 4: from Badley to a lesser degree, but like, definitely think
- 39:49Speaker 4: Cisa is strong.
- 39:50Speaker 1: I think A. J.
- 39:51Speaker 4: Johnson is in play. I think Tyler Smith is in play. Yeah,
- 39:55Speaker 4: just kind of going away from ownership in this game
- 39:57Speaker 4: is kind of how I would go.
- 39:59Speaker 3: I like, man, I was just checking out the awards.
- 40:02Speaker 3: Since it's been a little minute. Con no longer probably
- 40:05Speaker 3: gonna win, Sadvin.
- 40:07Speaker 4: If you were tracking that all season though, and you
- 40:09Speaker 4: were kind of getting in on good spots, you'd probably
- 40:12Speaker 4: make a good amount of money on that.
- 40:14Speaker 2: Oh for sure, on both guys.
- 40:16Speaker 3: And we were looking at kind of from the I
- 40:18Speaker 3: don't know, a third day or something, when Con started
- 40:21Speaker 3: off so hot, he was like plus fourteen hundred, and
- 40:23Speaker 3: then one day you were surprised when a couple of
- 40:27Speaker 3: days actually that Con was still a wider favorite than
- 40:29Speaker 3: you thought and you could get flag at plus money.
- 40:32Speaker 3: So I assume most people that do take shots on
- 40:34Speaker 3: markets like that are watching it pretty closely, and they
- 40:38Speaker 3: were able to get good plus money on both those
- 40:40Speaker 3: guys throughout. So good stuff there, Kelvin minus four hundred
- 40:44Speaker 3: and six, man Clutch minus twenty five hundred, SGA MVP.
- 40:50Speaker 3: We already knew it was going to be there. Most
- 40:52Speaker 3: improved nah Over during all right.
- 40:55Speaker 1: JB.
- 40:56Speaker 3: Bickerstaff gonna win Coach of the year more than likely
- 40:58Speaker 3: minus two ninety.
- 41:00Speaker 1: It should be Misulla, but Missula's.
- 41:02Speaker 3: Number two plus two thirty. I do agree with that, right,
- 41:08Speaker 3: and I'm hard. Seems like it's just a little too
- 41:10Speaker 3: crowded right now there in Dallas. Yeah, super cheap on
- 41:15Speaker 3: fan duel. He's also, I mean, there's just also just
- 41:18Speaker 3: so many value plays on this slate, and there's only
- 41:20Speaker 3: so many spins to play.
- 41:22Speaker 2: So good stuff, Reo. We have two more days.
- 41:25Speaker 3: I believe it's me and you on Thursday, and then
- 41:28Speaker 3: me and Ham'm going to do our best on Friday,
- 41:30Speaker 3: with no rio to break down the wild Friday slate
- 41:34Speaker 3: on the last day. But any final thoughts before we
- 41:36Speaker 3: get on out of.
- 41:37Speaker 4: Here, Uh no, I mean, considering that this is like
- 41:42Speaker 4: a tougher part of the year to talk about NBA.
- 41:44Speaker 4: The viewership's still been good, so I appreciate you guys
- 41:46Speaker 4: tuning in as always.
- 41:48Speaker 3: Absolutely, and again if you do want to join us
- 41:50Speaker 3: at the Nation Masters going on tomorrow, NBA, MLBPJ showdown
- 41:55Speaker 3: throughout the next couple of days, MMA, NASCAR, NHL join
- 41:58Speaker 3: the Nation in the bottom left. I think the best
- 42:01Speaker 3: deal that goes to try is the five days four
- 42:03Speaker 3: nineteen dollars. You can get access to all of our contents,
- 42:06Speaker 3: you get Savor SIM and you get access to the Discord,
