• 1:05
  Speaker 2: my friday or my week was good. I saw a
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: very good college football game last night. I don't know
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: if you stayed up for that. I saw some people
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: tilting in the chat last night as well for a
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: game that got a game that got rained out in
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the NBA of all things. So I don't know if DK,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: what DK and Fandel did about that. But hey, how
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: was your week? Nice to see you and have you
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: do a show with you.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man, wee going pretty good better now that I'm
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: here doing an NBA show with you. Like you said,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: our debut, so first show together. College football game was amazing,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: last night. You know, depending on what side you were on,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: was a little bit better than if you were on
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: the other side.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But just a great game overall.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Crazy rain out Postponeman in the NBA, which certainly you
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: don't see that every day. And I was giving you
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: some flowers before the show, but I wanted to give
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: them to you while we were on here so everyone
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: can hear about it. Like I said, it's our first show.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I was out for a while with Baxter, as I
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: told you guys, a couple of shows ago. But this
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: guy am picked up so much of the slack while
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: I was gone again, never met him before, just started
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: with ship it a little bit ago, as everyone knows.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: So can't tell you all how appreciative and how thankful
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I am with this guy right here and cannot wait
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: to get after it in this show and then every
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Friday moving forward.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, awesome. I was certainly glad to help out. The
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: big thing is that Matt's healthy. We're all here healthy today,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: so appreciate it. Let's go shout out some people in
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the chat. We got Jordan Coach save the answer, what's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: The answer?
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I got beat you little Nick Williams in here, para
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: base in here. Hey, the ham stash is I don't
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: know what op means og op, but hey, I appreciate him.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I got from the baseball streets Poe, Jen DJ and Stoner. Hey,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: he said he was never coming back to a grew mustache. Well,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: so we need to get after him. But FanDuel and
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: DraftKings did us a favorite. I guess FanDuel did because
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: they normally do those late night games, Matt, but they're
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: both seven games slates tonight. I think the big talking point, Well,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I'll let you give a broad slate overview of the slate.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: No Trey Young tonight, but what's a broad slide overview
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and just tell us where the value is gonna be.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I think I think we could figure that one out
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: pretty quickly.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: So we see slates like this in the NBA, like,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know, once every week, a couple of weeks.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: We just had one with Denver last week when they
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: had all their guys out.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: But the theme of this slate is going to be, Okay,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: see how much is too much? If there is an
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: answer to that question.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: As far as players from the thunder Go, you got
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: no Shay, no Chet, no Case and Wallace no Jalen
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: within uh with a y Williams. So a ton of
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: guys out for the Thunder in a game against the
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Grizzlies that now I guess should be competitive. So I
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: think that's gonna be the big talking point on the slate.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Not that there aren't other good spots to talk about,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: but really hard to give an overview of this slate
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: and not mention, okac is the big theme.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so you're gonna be the value. No Hartenstein
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: too that I just saw. I saw Jamal Murray I
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: believe got mid grade down grade to questionable, so he
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: may not not play. It's looking like Trey Young is out,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: as I alluded to, which I don't even know if
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: he's on this on the Yeah, he's on this slave,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: but he's not playing. And then the two new Atlanta
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: guys McCollum and Kispert are out as well. But we'll
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: do our best to break it all down for you
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: in this seven games. We'll jump into the first game.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go through the stone that you see here.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: We got the Raptors. I didn't mention Scotty Barnes. He's
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: also questionable as well, my boy yaka Perl totals still
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: out as well, but they're ten and a half point
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: dogs going into Boston. Boston slave to score one hundred
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and seventeen two hundred and twenty four and a half
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: point total. Talk to me about this game, Matt Raptors
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: at the Celtics.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Barnes actually got downgraded to doubtful I believe so. Yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: even more unlikely that he plays, which does open up
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: some things for Toronto. Overall, though this is not a
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: great game from a DFS perspective, I don't think there's
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: going to be too much we want from it. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: think as far as the Boston and side goes, kind
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: of the same characters that are in play, that are
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: always in play, starting with Jalen Brown, just a matter
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: of like whether you want to allocate ninety five hundred
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: for Jalen Brown in this spot. I don't think he's
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: a bad play. I just don't think he's a priority.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Kind of feel the same about Derek White, Like, if
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: you're landing on these guys, I'm totally cool with it,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: but I don't think their priorities. And then from the
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Toronto side, with Barnes, doubtful Ingram was at shoot around.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: So we'll presume that he's gonna play.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: There just isn't a ton to like here, even with
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: that Barnes news, like Colin Murray Boyles Okay, price is
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: up though at forty eight hundred, so I'm.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Not like excited about it. I think the.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: One guy that if I were making one lineup, that
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I could see myself playing, certainly wouldn't be a priority,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: but I could see myself playing as RJ.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Barrett.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I just don't think the price tag is caught up
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: to his role. Certainly, when everyone on Toronto is healthy,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: it's hard to pick through the mud there, Like they
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: just have so many guys that are able to contribute
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: in a lot of the same ways. But when you
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: take Barnes out, Barrett's price tags rising a little bit,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: but not enough. I'm sure it'll kind of stabilize around
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: seven K. He's been good, so it's sixty five hundred.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: He's my favorite piece of Toronto and maybe of this game.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: But all in all, again, if I'm making one lineup,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know if there's anyone from this game that
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: makes that one lineup.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Do you see it similarly or different.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, probably the same, especially with you know what we
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: have in the other six game as well. One thing
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I did want to ask you about though, with Sam
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: hows Er at thirty seven hundred, played thirty minutes last
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: game starting for Jordan Walsh. Now what about him at
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: thirty seven hundred or is he just not doing enough
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: for you, you know, to pay off that tag.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I do think those minutes are volatile depending on how
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: he's playing, So at that price point, I kind of
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: like that for tournaments like Okay, I don't I don't
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: think he's a value play that we're like starting our
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: rosters with. But I do think he's viable in the
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: sense that if he gets hot from three, you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the minutes can get up there towards Like you said,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: the thirty is mark. But generally speaking, like I don't
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: project him for that minute, so his projection just isn't
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: gonna look great.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Got it? Hey?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: One thing as well that I forgot to mention pre
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: show is you got some big shoes to fill Matt
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: in Rio for the people, it's gone like twenty seven
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and oh in his last twenty seven bets. So at
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the end of the show, we'll ask you to give
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: some bets, so hopefully you got one up your sleeve.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And he han't really gone twenty seven and oh, but
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: he's been. He's done very good, So be thinking about
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: one as we're talking. We'll go through that as well.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: When we do that. Your excellent stuff there on that breakdown.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Next one up is the seventy six Ers at the Magic.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Healthy two hundred and twenty seven and a half point total.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Sixers are three and a half point favorites, and that's
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: because there are a lot of missing pieces from this
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Orlando team. You got the Wagner Brothers, they're not playing tonight,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Jalen Suggs is out for the Magic as well, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: then Embiid. I think I said it earlier, but if
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't, Embid looks like he is gonna play Tyrese MAXI.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: He's been. He's been pretty darn good this year. Edgecomb
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: up the sixty eight hundred bucks as well. So talk
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to me a little bit about this game. You got
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the shorthanded Magic coming off of what was it was
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the Nets they beat late late the other night, but
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: shorthanded Magic taking on this seventy six ers team. Talked
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: to me about this one so.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: It's funny because of how this slave plays out with
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Okac providing so much value, and then there's some other
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: spots that have value pieces too, but namely ok See.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: It's almost like.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I'm star hunting in other spots because I don't think
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: we're gonna have value plays that are better than the
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: okaz value plays. So it's really a matter of like
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: what stars do I want to play, and this game
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I think provides some opportunity to play some studs. I
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: think Joel Embiide himself looks pretty good. The price tag
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: stabilizing around the nine k mark. We know that he
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: can smash that in tournaments, like he projects for a
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: fine score there, you know, forty five ish fantasy points,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: but we know the upside's real there. And then Tyrese
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: MAXI he's just continued to produce all season when Mbat's
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: been in.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: When Mbat's been.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Out, his tag's dropping a little bit, ninety seven hundred.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: He always plays a ton of minutes. Ownership is not
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: there right now, and I think he looks good as
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: a contrariant star. If you're playing a lot of the
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: oka See value flipping it to the other side, I
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: kind of feel the same about Paula ban Caro.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Outside of that game where they just.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Were awful against Washington and their starters got benched midway
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: through the third quarter, ban Caro has been really, really
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: good out a bit of a heater. So at ninety
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: three hundred, again, that's a little bit of sticker sock
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: for ban Carro, but he's worth it right now. So
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I could see playing off like the Maxi ban Caro
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: combo and be Ben Carrow if you think Philly just
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: rolls here playing both of them being a Maxie.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I don't hate that.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Philly is about as healthy as we've ever seen them.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, in years, I can't remember Philly being a
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: healthy so.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: That is worth noting.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I think because of that, I'm not as interested in
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: like the second tier players. Edge comb has been really good,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: so if you want to get there, I'm cool with it.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: After that, I don't think there's anyone on Philly I'm
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: really looking at. And then from the Orlando side, it's
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: really ban Caro or Boss just because of how these
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: guys are priced and how okayc looks.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jordan had asked about Black and you obviously said
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: it's Ben Cara or bus So no Black for you
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: at seven five that does seem like a like a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: steep price to pay for him. He did have fifty
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: eight three games ago, and then he came back down
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: to being Anthony Black and had like eighteen and twenty one.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: So I'm with you there, and then you have Ben
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: carro is probably my favorite magic as well. Just looking
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: to see who is uh he missed the other night?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Didn't didn't Wendell Carter Junior missed the other night? Or
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: am I thinking something?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think because they got they
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: all got badged.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: And then I was wondering why Jace Richardson had like
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: thirty DraftKings or yeah, thirty DraftKings points a couple of
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: nights ago, and it's because they all got benched. There
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: you go, so yeah, so you and I heard you
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: say this as well, but I just want to make
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: sure that the people heard it. So you're fine with
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Embiid and Maxi together on the same team, Yeah.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Again in tournaments if you're playing off that like Philly
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: just has a really good game here. Again, I'm kind
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: of the opinion that positive correlation in NBA, like isn't
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: accounted for enough.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm cool playing those guys.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: If I are playing one line in and building it,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I probably wouldn't land on Embeat and Maxie, just because
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: there are other stars to spend on. But I do
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: see outcomes where that plays out, and in tournaments it's
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: all about getting up, you know, to the very top.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: So again, do I think that's the likeliest outcome?
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: No?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: But am I fine with it? Yeah?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Are you fine with it without any magic bringback?
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Would you want plow in?
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: There?
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Is that just too much? Too much salary one on
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: one game seems.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Like a lot of salary to allocate, And I think
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: that if you can make it work, which on this
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: slate you might be able to, I'm fine with it.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: But I don't think you have to do that. I
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: will just reiterate that I do like better. Like my
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: favorite pairing from this game is probably Maxie and Paolo,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: but of the three main stars, I'm good with pairing
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: any of them in any way you want. And then
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: just to touch on Anthony Black real quick, I think
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: he's intriguing slash enticing and tournaments. Certainly in cash games,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: there's just gonna be other guys that project better than him,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: that are the same price or cheaper.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: But we've seen the ceiling.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: So again, like, if you're playing this game like it's competitive,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: you get a real high scoring game. Maybe you get
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: an outlier in some regards, maybe in that EMBIID and
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: MAXI pairing. If you can't fit Ban Carrol, maybe you
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: play Black. I look at Black and Bean pretty similarly.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: That's why Ben Carro stands out. He just seems like
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: the alpha right now.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff there. Moving on to the next game.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: This is everybody's favorite game. You got the New Orleans
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Pelicans taking on the Wizards and what is going to
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: be a horrible real life game. I think Matt should
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: be a spicy one for daily Fantasy. We've got one
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: hundred and forty two and a half point total. We
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: have Skinny Zion leading his team into Washington once again.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: No Trey Young in this game. No CJ McCollum or
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Corey Kispert. They now reside in Atlanta. And then on
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the Pelican side, you do have some injuries as well.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: You have Deontay Murray's been out all season, Bay is out,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Herb Jones is still out. So you got a few
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I guess key pieces missing or at least some guys
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: that gets the minutes normally. But any love for anybody
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Zion or anybody else on this Pelicans team taking on Washington.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely gonna be some love for the Pelicans here,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: starting with Zion, who at eight k it's just still
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: two cheap minutes are creeping up a little bit. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: think he just looks like kind of a cog in
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: the machine type. I wouldn't get too carried away or
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: expect too high of a steiling here, even in this spot,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: but I think he's got a really really high floor
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: with a decently high ceiling at ak, so he looks
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: good here. Derek Queen also looks good. Has been really
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: popular lately, is projected to be really popular again tonight.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Just a really good spot here, you know, projects very
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: very well at sixty two hundred. So both those guys,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: I think Zion and Derek Queen look like two of
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the you know, better plays on the slate. You know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah Fears and Trey Murphy I think look good in
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: their own right, probably more tournament plays than Zion and Queen.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: But I think you can play all four of those
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: guys really in any format. Then the other guy that
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: looks to be in play for me is Eves Me. See,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: thirty four hundred kind of has seemingly taken over the
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: backup center role now from Looney, you know, projects for
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: like close to twenty minutes. I think you could do
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: worse at thirty four hundred. I'm not going out of
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: my way for it. I don't think you need it,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: especially with OKC, but as a pivot off of like
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: a Brendan Carlson or Brandon Carlson.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Exces me, I don't hate it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: So yeah, OKAC looks to be in a really good
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: spot here, and then Washington does too. This game is,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: like you said, really appealing from a DFS perspective.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anybody on Washington that sticks out.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: To you, Yeah, probably Sar is the one guy that
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: sticks out in a big way. Again another Center, So
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: there's opportunity costs at Center tonight, even without Jokic.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: But Star looks really good here.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: They've said that his minutes are back up to normal
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: seventy three hundred.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: We've seen him just destroy this price tag in kind
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: of whatever spot he's been in.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I like I saw a lot Kouli Bali
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: like quite a bit fifty three hundred. Again, I think
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: he's another cog in the machine type. He fills up
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: the stat sheet in terms of the defensive stuff, so
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: can get there on bad shooting nights, which you always
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: like to see. Chris Middleton at the flat four K.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Kind of compare him to Klay Thompson last night, Like
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: you're never excited about playing Klay Thompson or Middleton. But
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: when these guys get to be thirty eight hundred like
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Clay last night who happened to have a big game
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: or Middleton four k, and they're playing decent minutes, they're
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: at least in play. So Washington looks good here. He
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: saw George back in the mix after missing I think
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: seven games. He's only sixty one hundred. A little bit
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: hesitant with him coming back at how Washington kind of
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: likes to spread out their minutes, But would I be
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: shocked if he got there? No bub Carrington, Trey Johnson.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Outside of OK see, I think both New Orleans and
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Washington looked like maybe the two best teams on the slate.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if I'm playing some guy named DeAndre Ayden against
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the Pelicans. I'm certainly playing Alexander sar. I'll see my guy,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Hebrew Cheeta is in the jet and now, hey, he
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: always tells me that the Pelicans are bad versus the Sinners.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: So I'll fire me up some Alexander saw a good
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: call there. One thing I did want to ask you,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I know you said you know you could play up
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: the iguesst four Pelicans. Are you fine with playing Queen
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: and Williamson on the same team or is it kind
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: of like one of those two and maybe a Fears
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: or Murphy.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Well, first off, let me just kind of when I
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: sat out cool playing those four, I don't think there's
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: any scenario where I would be playing all.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Four of them together. Yeah, just because of my sataries.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: But as far as Zion and Queen go, do I
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: think it's like an ideal pairing.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Am I going out a way to play them together? No?
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: But again, I do think there's positive correlation in NBA.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Certainly you can get gain scripts here where the game
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: just blows up, or New Orleans has a really good game.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: We've seen that a ton against Washington. So I wouldn't
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: go out of my way to avoid it either, you know,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: they play different positions, they share a lot of the
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: same court time, so not I don't think there's any
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: real reason you have to choose between them. And to
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: answer your next question, as far as running it back
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: with Washington, I think that that will happen naturally. So
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: I think playing Queen and Zion honestly, like it might
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: be when all is sudden done and we get to lock,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: that might be like the cash game optimal.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure right now, but I think that that's possible.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and new Ones is right, I'm not playing a
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: guy with no knees four thousand dollars. I don't care.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not playing my boy Chris Middleton. I wouldn't have
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: played him when he was in Milwaukee. I'd definitely not
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: playing him now that he's in Washington with like a
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: half a knee going there. Next game up on the
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: slate is Kawhi Leonard and his Los Angeles Clippers taking
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: on the Brooklyn Nets. And the Brooklyn Nets have been
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: They've been juicy this week, Matt. They've been missing some
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: dudes and Dayron Sharp has been balling out a little bit,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: but Kawhi has been balling. No major injury news that
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I'm aware of. Maybe I missed something, but any interest
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: in this game? We have la at Brooklyn seven.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure your boy Kawhi is questionable, So that's
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: the big injury news here.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Presuming he's in.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Man, there isn't enough ton from this game. This looks
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: like maybe the worst game on the entire slate from
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: a DFF perspective. If he's in. If he's out, everyone
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: from the Clippers gets a bump. I think Harden, now
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: under nine K, would look the best. Or no, he's
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: ninety one hundred, excuse me, so he's I was looking
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: at Fando and I think he's under nine k there,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: so got it a little mixed up, but he's ninety
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: one hundred.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: He would look good.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: If Kawhi is out, we know that he can produce.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: He smashed that tag a ton, so I think Harden
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: would be the guy I'd want to go to most
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: if Kawhi is out. If Kawhi is in, I'm not
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: really seeing it from the Brooklyn side, like they're in
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: probably the worst spot in the entire slate, So not
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: interested in them. Zubats I guess you know from the
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Clippers side is fine. I just think there's better center
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: since like at basically every price point.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, this game is not very appealing to me.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: No, no, it's it's it's I'm I'm never never the Nets.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I hate playing the Nets. I guess MPJ is kind
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: of that was the last year thing, and m mpj's
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: kind of had a good year. Uh, but at that price,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not paying those prices for him. And then yeah,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I mean maybe if Kawi is out. Yeah, you look
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: at James Hardenman, No Zubak and then William we We
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: answered this in the last game. Yeah, Zion and Queen
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: are fine in the same lineup. It's not like a
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: priority anything, but if you land on it, certainly okay
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: with getting there. All right, let's move on to the
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: next one. And this was gonna have a lot of
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: talking points. You got the uh, you got the thunder,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: you got the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies earlier today, Matt, I
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: don't know if you saw it, but I guess Jaws
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: on the trading block. He's been out for the last
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: uh last few games, I believe, and now they're saying
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: he's on the trading block. But there's gonna be tons
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: of value here. Let's break this one down pretty good.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: You got Jaws out, Chats out, SGA's out, Edie's been out,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Artens Doin's out, like you said, Cason Wallace, and what
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: is it? I mean, I know it's Jaylen Williams is
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the JDub or the other Jay, whatever they call him.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: He's out with the y. So talk to me. Break
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: this one down for me. You got the thunder at
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: the Grizzlies two hundred and twenty nine and a half
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: point total.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: So I think I'll start with the Memphis side, just
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: because they're pretty easy. There's really only two guys from
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Memphis that I like.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: One of them.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: You could say both of them are priorities. But Cam
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Spencer number one, sixty five hundred point guard, shooting guard
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: with no job.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: He's just a guy I want to play.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: The price tag you know, isn't as favorable as it's
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: been in the path, but sixty five hundred, I'm fine
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: with it. So he's a guy I like a lot.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: And then Jock Landale forty nine hundred. He looks good here,
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: so I think there are better center options, but I
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: think he's a way to get off the beaten path.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: A little bit without giving up a ton of projection
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: and gaining some ownership leverage. So Landale is in the
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: pool for me, and I like Spencer a lot. Spencer's
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: a guy. If I our plaint one lineup, he'd likely
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: be in it. As far as okay See goes, I
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: think you'll want I mean at least three, if not four,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: of these guys, and basically every lineup your making. J
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Dubb Jalen Williams the one who's in. I think he's
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: the guy I'm most leary of, just because they're resting
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: all their other main guys. That being said, they're not
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: resting him, and he messed a ton of time earlier
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: in the season, so maybe this is about his opportunity
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: to just go nuts and just have the ball in
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: his hands a ton and just kind of be the guy.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: So I like Jalen Williams of seventy five hundred. Ownership
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: is there as it should be because he's too cheap,
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: just like all these okay See guys are so after him.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: AJ Mitchell seems like the just lock of the slate
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: projecting for a ton of ownership will probably be even
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: higher on than he's projected, but you just play.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Him and move on.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: In my opinion, I mentioned Brandon Carlson and passing earlier.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know how you don't play him here with
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Okay see basically missing all their centers. I forgot about Hartenstein,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: who you mentioned chat No Jalen Williams, so it's really
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: between him and Kenrich Williams, who's also wildly in play
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: here at thirty four hundred.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Aaron Wiggins forty two hundred.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: I think his ownership only rises as we get closer
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: to Locke had a really good first half last night
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: or the night before whenever that was forty two hundred Elgible.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Both forward spots hard to get away from him. Isaiah
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Joe only shooting are eligible. Not quite as own as
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: the other guys because hasn't been playing as much, but
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: I think he looks really good in tournament at thirty
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: five hundred. Alex Caruso if he plays in play at
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: thirty seven hundred, Lou Dort, I don't like him as
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: much as the other guys, but in play, especially if
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: he's not gonna get ownership, which he's not, it's a
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: nice way to get exposure to this game without going
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: into all that ownership. But yeah, okay, see we'll have
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: to wait and see who they're starting. But all these
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: guys that are gonna play are wildly in play because
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: they're all super cheap. So it's just a matter of
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: how much OKC you want. I think if I'm playing
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: one lineup right now, I'm playing four OKC guys.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Wow, is there one? Is there one that maybe you
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: think is bad Chalk in this game? And I'll give
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: you mine or I'll go ahead, then I'll tell you
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: who I was thinking. Yeah, I think.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: It's certainly possible that a bunch of these guys fail.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: So I don't think it's like, you know, automatic that
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: all these guys smash, but I do think that their
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: price tags, all these guys are going to project well,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: you know, at Chalk, I think the you know, the
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: one guy I'd be most apt to get away from.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: You know what, I'll say this, There isn't one guy
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm like, I think that you need to get
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: away from. But I think getting away from any of
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: them except for aj Mitchell is more than viable. Like
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: their paths to all of them failing except for AJ Mitchell,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: where there's certainly a path to him failing. I just
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: think he's the least likely to fail, so after him,
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: my answer is just gonna be I think you could
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: fade any one of them in any lineup, how about you?
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: If I yeah, I'm with you. I love aj Mitchell,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: especially when when SGA is out and he can handle
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: the ball more. But I hate saying this because he's
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: so cheap and Brandon Carlson, I think I think he
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: could fail going up against you know, Jared Jackson junior
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: slash Yeah, not Landell, but you know he has to
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, how many points does he have to get?
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: I mean he has to get what twenty points.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: At least, because it's not just like it's not just
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: about becoming value for him. It's about like if he
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: only gets twenty points, which might look good and give
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: you the flame on DK, but then Sorrow and embiid
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: both go for fifty plus, like you're in a bad
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: spot with Carlson. So I think that would be my
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: answer too, and not even with him like just failing,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: like because like you just said, if he gets twenty points,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: that might not be him failing per se, but it's
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: not a good score or what you need so I'm
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: kind of on the same page as you.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, let's see Carlson's projected for Yeah, we're for two
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: twenty five, so even at twenty five, I mean, yeah,
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: I'm just I got some hesitation with with that guy
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: moving on to the next game before we go there,
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: if you haven't already, makes sure you hitting that like
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: makes you hitting that subscribe button.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: We got two games left. We're breaking it all down
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Matt and Mine's first show together. It's going great. We
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: got the Hawks traveling to what is it fifty to
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: twenty eight or whatever that elevation is, to Denver to
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: take on the Nuggets. Still no Yokic, she's out. Joe
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Ball is out as well. I did see that Jamal
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Murray was a mid grade down mid day down grade.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Matt correct me if I'm wrong on that, so he
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: may be out on this one. And then no CJ.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: McCollum and no Corey Kisburg either for the Hawks. So
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: all to me a little bit about this game. Yet
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: you have a decent total at two hundred and thirty three,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Hawks lightly favored going into the Maha City.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: So yeah, earlier in the show, when we were talking
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: about the Orlando game. I mentioned that, you know, with
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of the other games outside of the Okay
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: See game, I'm gonna be star hunting a little bit
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: because there's so much value there.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: We can kind of play whoever we want.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: And this was a game I definitely had circled as
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: far as star hunting with Jamal Murray and Jalen Johnson. Now,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: if Murray plays, I'm still interested in that. But yeah,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: the midday downgrade illness. We've seen a bunch of recent
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: midday downgrades end up playing for whatever reason with Anthony
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Edwards and some other guys. I don't think that's a trend.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: I think we just kind of saw that this week.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: So I certainly lean towards guys not playing when they
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: have a midday downgrade, which would change a lot for Denver.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Now they are a lot healthier than they were last week,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: They've got a lot of their ancillary pieces back. A
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: bunch of those guys aren't playing full minutes yet, so
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: it's hard to trust any one of those guys. If
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Murray's in, it's really only Murray from the Denver side.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: If he's out, I think you can start looking at
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: everyone else. Jalen Pickett would be the guy most interested in,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: but he would need to be starting with you know,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: everyone else, presumably back now he's.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Forty six hundred now, so again he would have to
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: be starting.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: But if Jamal Murray's out, I'd be interested in him,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: like he can fill it up, and they just lack
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: offensive creators with Murray out, So Denver is gonna be
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: kind of a wait and see approach.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: From the Atlanta side, I got no problems with.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Going right back to Jalen Johnson, who has been really
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: really popular in every slate he's been on recently. Saw
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: that come down a little bit the last slate, and
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: that's coming down even more tonight with the price tag rising.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: I just like him a lot.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: I think that basically in any competitive Atlanta game, he's
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: likely to get there. I think this game's competitive whether
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Murray plays or not. So I like Jalen Johnson a
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: lot here. I also like Okannglu missed last game. Now
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: priced down a little bit at seventy one hundred, might
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: get Porzingis, who also is midday downgraded out here, which
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: would only boost his minute. So Jalen Johnson and o
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Kanngwu two guys I like, you know, decent amount here
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: and Okngu is gonna be unknowned.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: At the same price as sor So.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I do like this game from a DFS perspective, just
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: kind of have to wait and see.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: On the Denver side with.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Murray, yeah, one name you didn't mention, and I got
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: made fun of for calling him n WA the other day,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: but n a w Nikhil Alexander Walker. He's chucking it
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: up there fifteen eighteen times a game. I think I
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: like him in this matchup at seventy two hundred. But yeah,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: you can't go wrong with the cong wu. And I
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: like what you said about brazing God. If he misses
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: a congu is gonna get a whole lot more more
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: minutes and then new Ones was in the chat talking
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: about Dyson Daniels at seven k I don't hate that
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: when it's where as well coming off of forty two
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: DraftKings point performance. And yeah, Jordan and trisk At my apologies,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I did not know how many feet were in the
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: mouth the top of my head, So I apologize on that.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I'll just see it on the record. There you go.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: It should be pretty should be pretty easy.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Excellent stuff there Matt, we got one game left on
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: the slate to talk about. It is the New York
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Knicks taking on the Suns, and h my boy, Colin Gillespie,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: he's been, he's been, He's been playing great as of late.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: But in this one, no major no major injuries for
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: the Suns that I'm aware of. Jalen Green is out,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: he's been out, I think all season long, and then
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Josh Hart is out on the Knicks side, and then
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: former wichital State great Landry Shammon is also out for
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: the Knick. So talk to me a little bit about
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: this game. It's the last game on the slate for
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: US two hundred and twenty eight point total. It's basically
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: a pick them.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: So this slate is interesting in the sense that, like,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: because of the OKC value and the Washington New Orleans
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: game getting so much love, it's almost like every other
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: spot is going to be unowned, and that's what we're
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: seeing here. And I don't like it more than those spots,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: But I do think there's a tournament upside scattered throughout
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: this game. First guy that I look at that I
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: think is a really good tournament play is Karl Anthony
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Towns who Rio and I called out last late after
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: he had douted the slate before that was eighty three
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: hundred against the Clippers, had a pretty good game. I
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: think he finished with like fifty Fantasy points are close
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: to it. Now is priced even lower at eighty one hundred, Hitch.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: His average tag on DraftKings this year is over ninety
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: one hundred, So we're getting a thousand dollars discount on that,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: and he's not getting ownership.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: That's a combination.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: I love, you just don't see it that often, especially
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: in NBA, so Carl Anthony Towns. The more I look
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: at this late, he might be a priority for me here,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: I like him quite a bit. I like Miles McBride,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: who Rio shouted out last late to be a candidate
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: to start because he was playing so well, ended up
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: starting and then having another really good game. So he's
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: too cheap at forty four hundred bruntson for some reason
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: price down at eighty six hundred. I like him, especially
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: with like unlimited salary to spend. The Knicks look pretty
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: good here.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: It's not like the.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Best spot on paper. I don't love going out of
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: my way to pick on the Suns, but I'm not
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: afraid of it either, And the Knicks have just been
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: priced down to a point where I think all these
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: guys are at least in play. I don't think you
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: have to play them, but they're at least in play.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: And then from the Phoenix side, you talked about Gillespie,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, no reason he's not in play here, especially
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: if you think this game is competitive. Mark Williams, who
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: you know, we've seen be very up and down, which
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: isn't a bad thing in tournaments. He's still really cheap
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: at fifty two hundred. Devin Booker eighty four hundred. It's
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: the cheapest we've seen him in a long time. I mean,
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: hasn't always gotten there, and I think that he's certainly
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: better served in tournaments, but he can win you any
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: slate he's on, So eighty four hundred, it's easy to
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: pair these guys now, Like a month ago, or at
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: any point last year or tonight per se, we could
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: have seen it like you could have had Booker over
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: nine k, both Brunson and Kat over nine k.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Now, these guys are like low eight K range.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: You could play them all together conceivably, And if this
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: game kind of goes nuts a really really good spot.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks under six k. I like this game. I
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: don't think that this game.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Projects amazing for these price tags, but I think that
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: the price tags are low enough where there's a lot
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: of hidden upside here. So just talking this out, I
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: like this game in tournaments.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too. Actually, and you called out the villain, right,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks thirty eight DraftKings points under last game under
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: fifty nine hundred. Hey, Oregon football's playing the night. Dylan
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Brooks is a Oregon A love so Hey the little
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Tambo narrative right there. Tambo comes up with some of
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: the craziest narratives too. He's a true But Dylan Brooks
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: at fifty nine, I love that Colin Gillespie forber National
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Champion at Villa Nova is in a great spot to
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: sixty four hundred. So yeah, I like what you said.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: This game has sneaky shootout potential in my opinion, and
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I love your call of Kat. I don't like it
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: that he's nine two hundred bucks on on on FanDuel,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: which obviously I don't. I don't love that being eleven
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: hundred more than he is on DK, But I think
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: this is a great game.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: This one go ahead. Sorry, no, I didn't mean to
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: cut you off. You finished, No, I'm done.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: So that kind of just plays into the point he's
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: eleven hundred more on FANDLE. That just speaks to how
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: he's too cheap on DraftKings and he's not even getting
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: ownership on DraftKings, Like he's not gonna be unowned, but
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: he'll be like ten percent is own. And he's unequivocally
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: too cheap. So I'm not like a cat guy. He's
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: not someone I play a ton of, but I think
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna dip into that pool tonight.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I love that call there. That'll do it.
• 33:36

• 33:50

• 33:52
  Speaker 2: First question is who's the leading point getter DK point
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: getter on the slate tonight salary doesn't matter Johnson Jalen
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Johnson leading the slate. Who's the best value. Let's go
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: sub Let's go sub seven K, seven K or below.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Sub seven k best value on the slate. That's a
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: good question. Uh, it's hard not to go with one
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: of these.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Ok, see, guys, I think it's I feel like that's
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: such a cheap answer, but I'm gonna go.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Give me the most DraftKings points. That's give me the
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: most Draft Kings points seven K below AJ Mitchell, AJ Mitchell.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: All right, and then uh we gotta go bet. Do
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: you see any bets or I don't know if you're

• 34:38
  Speaker 2: bets you like tonight? Yeah?
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: You know what.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I know that the Wizards are are a hard team
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: to back, But why on earth are the Pelicans road
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: favorites against anyone?
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't be road favorites against my high school basketball team.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: So give me the Wizards getting points here, even though
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: it's the Wizards and they stink.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: The Pelicans rode favorites. Note, thanks, give me Washington at.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Night and there you go. You heard it here first,
