3:07
How much first game on tap Here it's Cleveland's Toronto close spread in this one
3:12
looking at the total to twenty seven? Is the total here Toronto favored by
3:16
two and a half at home in this one here? What are you looking
3:23
at in this one here? Cleveland in Toronto? I mean you're seeing some
3:27
decent ownership right now as it sits going to guys like RJ Barrett and quickly
3:30
in that mid tier there, Potal might get a little bit ownership at the
3:35
center position always got Donovan Mitchell as a contrarian spend up and then Scottie Barnes
3:38
on the other side, both of those guys seeing pretty low ownership. We
3:42
got pretty good projections as it sits right now. Obviously these projections will get
3:46
updated here, probably throughout the show that we're on right now with the Kevin
3:50
Durant news and things. But right now, Donovan Mitchell Scotty Barnes have a
3:53
pretty healthy projection for us, pretty good value plays overall. And then touch
3:58
on the guys getting ownership here and not quickly. Yeah, I think this
4:01
is a game, a good game. I mean, got the new look
4:04
Raptors, RJ Barrett coming home to be with his Canadians up in Toronto.
4:10
Five nines, A good price for RJ Barrett, assuming he starts, assuming
4:14
Emmanuel quickly starts as well. Barrett's been you know, accustomer playing thirty plus
4:18
minutes. I do think there will be some time to adjust and jail as
4:23
a team. But as it relates to daily fantasy, I mean, fifty
4:26
nine hundred for J. Barrett, he gets he's a customed thirty thirty five
4:29
minutes. That's a great play. And then Emmanuel Quickly. I have a
4:31
ton of interest in him five thousand dollars. I think he's a really good
4:36
ball player, just couldn't get you know, couldn't get the minutes sitting behind,
4:41
you know, brunting up in New York. I think he comes to
4:43
Toronto an immediate starter, obviously an upgrade over Shrewder at the point guard position.
4:47
For five thousand dollars, I think he can easily get thirty DK points.
4:51
He's gonna play hopefully gets you know, thirty thirty five minutes, but
4:55
really like quickly, really like Barrett, and then you can play Barns and
5:00
Siakam. The problem to me is that they're just so pricey, and we
5:02
got a few spind ups tonight that that we're going to talk about, So
5:05
I don't think I'll be getting to Siakam and Barnes. And then on the
5:09
flip side, Donovan Mitchell. I think Donovan Mitchell's in a smash spot.
5:12
No Darius Garland, no Evan Mobley, thirty six minutes his last time out,
5:17
Ogi Onobi, who was the Raptor's best defender, he's no longer there.
5:21
So you're gonna get the likes of Emmanuel quickly shrewder RJ Barrett guarding Donovan
5:27
Mitchell, which I just don't think they can do it. You're also going
5:30
to goe to ownership discount on Donovan Mitchell tonight, just based on the fact
5:33
that he's ninety five hundred. Like I said earlier, we got some spind
5:36
ups. So really love Donovan Mitchell. And then the last one I want
5:40
to talk about Naids is Jared Allen. Jared Allen been absolutely crushing it.
5:46
Seeing thirty five plus minutes. You know, like I said, with no
5:47
mobile, he's having a score more. He's obviously going to get the rebounds.
5:51
His last three games fifty six sixty five, fifty nine points. Another
5:56
great spot for him tonight. So give me some, give me some quick
6:00
quickly, give me some Barrett, and then I really like Donovan Mitchell on
6:02
the other side. And then I don't mind Jared Allen as well. That's
6:04
going to be the extent of in this game for me. Yeah, you
6:08
have sounds like you have a little bit more interest in the Toronto side than
6:11
I do. It's just hard to ignore, hard to see, Like I
6:14
don't think I can pay nine K or eighty four hundred for Siakam Well especially
6:17
can't play eighty four hundred here in this matchup for Siakam against the Rin defense
6:23
riom protection of Jared Allen. Jared Allen's been absolutely on fire right now.
6:27
He's good interior defender there Siakam. I just think it's a tough matchup for
6:30
him. I don't really love the spot. I don't like the price point
6:32
for him. Scottie Barnes at nine K is hard for me to pay that
6:35
when we got a two sixty one total in the next game. We're going
6:39
to talk about there and I'd rather spend up in spots like that with obviously
6:44
Giannis Dame Halliburn we're going to talk about. And not only that, you
6:47
got the addition of r J. Barrett and Quickly two more ball hunders that
6:51
Scotty Barnes is going to have to share the ball with. So it's hard
6:55
to see what's going to happen there. R J. Barrett Quickly are both
6:58
going to get ownership here. It's hard to see how many minutes Quickly is
7:00
going to get. He is five K. He is projected to start right
7:04
now, but that doesn't mean he's going to play thirty four to thirty six
7:09
minutes here he could get his rotation. You're not sure, right, They
7:12
got still got Dennis Schroeder there, They still got Gary Trent, they got
7:15
out of Porter as well on the bench. I mean, they got a
7:17
lot of guys there to go around. So I think I'm gonna take a
7:20
weight and see approach here in Toronto. It is. It is a pretty
7:24
good defensive matchup or a pretty tough matchup overall here at Cleveland's pretty solid defensive
7:29
basketball team here. I think the only play I like in this game is
7:32
Jared Allen. You hit on it. I'm seeing seb five percent ownership right
7:36
now on Jared Allen. He's seven to nine and he's been absolutely crushing.
7:43
Really like going right back to the well. With a guy like Jared Allen,
7:45
I think he should be pretty low owned. Has shown a ceiling obviously,
7:48
he has been smashing that seventy nine price point the last three games.
7:51
He's going to get his thirty five to forty minutes likely here again, and
7:56
I think he's my favorite play. Donovan Mitchell was not limited when he returned.
8:01
He played thirty six minutes last game. He's fine, right he's always
8:05
got a ceiling. But I think I just prefer Jared Allen, So it's
8:07
pretty much Jared Allen our pass for me in this game. I'm gonna take
8:11
out take away and see approach on these Toronto side. I do think Quickly
8:13
and Barrett both get decent ownership here. They're hitting early runs in optimizers right
8:18
now, so I think I'll stay off of that and it's pretty much Jared
8:22
Allen or pass for me in this one. Let's talk about the next game
8:28
here Hamdwich. It's the game of the night here to sixty one total in
8:33
eight point spread, which is a little bit of a decent spread overall,
8:37
but still, I mean to sixty one total here. Indy coming into Milwaukee
8:41
here, Tyler Halibert or Tyrese Haliburton returning back to Wisconsin here grew up obviously,
8:48
he played basketball in Oscosh, about an hour and fifteen minutes hour and
8:52
twenty minutes north of Milwaukee. He's returning back here. He's ten to three
8:58
in a matchup where the Bucks drug a big time against point guard, so
9:01
touch on him. You've got Giannis at just eleven k flat here, but
9:05
Dame is in there Middleton's getting more minutes now, he's up to seven to
9:07
one. You got Lopez at five to seven, Bobby Portis, Miles Turner.
9:11
I think there's a lot of plays in this game, a lot of
9:13
ownerships coming to this gilling for a good reason. It absolutely dust the restless
9:16
slate in terms of the totals. Benny mctherurn at four to seven looks to
9:22
be pretty chalky for sure. Jalen Smith because they've been running that too big
9:26
lineup with Turner and in Smith he's five too. He's getting a lot of
9:30
ownership right now. Chris Middleton and Giannis seem to be the two guys that
9:33
people want to go to for Milwaukee. I think there's a lot to break
9:37
down in this one where you're going here, Yeah, this game is a
9:41
juicy game. Not only not only do we have a two to sixty total,
9:45
but you'll remember the last time these two these two teams played, Janis
9:48
acted like he wanted to fight somebody and went chasing after some basketball. But
9:52
uh, it's gonna be a good game and one that you're gonna have to
9:56
get some some some pieces of Ben Jannis at at eleven k is a great
10:01
price for him, especially what he's done against this Pacers team, and he's
10:05
dominated him in essence, right, so he's he I think you've got to
10:11
have a ton of interest in Giannis. It's gonna come down like who do
10:13
you want? Do you want Jannis? Do you want Jokic? Do you
10:18
want you know, Luca? I don't think you can get both of them,
10:20
but which one has the best matchup? And I would say Janis has
10:22
a pretty favorable matchup, but so do so do Luca? So does a
10:26
Jokic? And then and then Halliburton just going down the line. I mean,
10:31
he's had double digit assists in four straight games back to back, including
10:35
back to back games of twenty plus assist. You said it earlier too,
10:39
There's no there's not many better matchups for point guards than the Bucks. They
10:45
don't have interest in guarding the dominant ball handler. So a ton of interest
10:48
in Tyrese Haliburton as well. And then the the other three that I want
10:52
to talk about, Brook Lopez Center for the Bucks fifty seven hundred. I
10:56
think it is a fair price on him on Brook Low and then the last
11:01
one Aaron Nesmith fifty one hundred. He's played twenty eight minutes and four straight
11:05
games. I think he's had back to back thirty plus minute games. Don't
11:07
mind him. He hit seven eleven threes his last time out two nights ago.
11:13
We need him to get into the thirties to pay off his tag,
11:15
but I think he can, especially if he's playing those types of minutes.
11:18
We anticipate this game being an up and down, back and forth type game.
11:22
So give me some Nie Smith, give me some Brook Lopez as a
11:26
cheap center, contrarian in the tires, and Giannis as well. Well.
11:28
Those are my four favorites. I'll sprinkle in some of the other ones as
11:31
well, just because I think we're going to need to have some pieces.
11:35
Six games late, this one is a two to sixty total, which is
11:37
uncanny really, but I think you're going to have a lot of pieces in
11:39
this game. Yeah. I mean this is the fourth test, the fourth
11:43
matchup between these two Pacers are up two to one, and I mean both
11:48
of these teams are averaging over one hundred and twenty five points per game when
11:50
these two teams play each other. Halliburton, coming off of back to back
11:54
twenty twenty games, twenty assists, twenty one points, twenty three assists twenty
11:58
two points, sixty five seventy and now gets an absolute stone nut match up
12:03
here against the Bucks who struggle massive against the pick and roll on ball point
12:09
guards here. Like Tyrese Haliburton, I think, if you want to get,
12:13
if you I haven't built too many teams here, but I'm seeing obviously
12:18
Giannis is getting ownership for good reason. Right, he should absolutely snook these
12:20
pacers. Nobody's gonna be able to stop him. Turner's not going to be
12:24
able to slow him down. Jalen Smith Inside's not gonna be able to slow
12:26
him down. I really think if you pair up Tyrese Haliburton and Giannis here
12:31
and just take your sixty five to seventy, I think both of them get.
12:35
Take your one hundred and forty points. You can throw in some value
12:37
guys like Aaron nee Smith at five to one here. You got other cheap
12:41
guys on the slate that we'll talk about, especially with the Kevin Durant news.
12:43
Now later you got Bradley Bealich just six to one. Will touch on
12:46
that later. I like those two. I think both of them go sixty
12:50
five to seventy. DraftKings points here at least ten to three eleven K.
12:54
I think you can do it. I think you can make it work.
12:56
So I really like those two. Not a crazy take by any mean,
13:00
but man, it's just hard to ignore both not matchups here. They're both
13:03
playing great and their price points are fair. I mean, you can argue
13:05
Giannis could be twelve k here and Haliburton could be eleven K. So really
13:11
like those two guys. Aaron Ne Smith, I'm with you there. I
13:13
think Ne Smith is gonna get thrust into more playing time here due to his
13:18
defense alone, for for on ball defense here against Dame and guys like Malik
13:24
Beasley and that. So I do think he picks up some increased minutes.
13:26
He's not gonna be able to do a ton offensively here, but I mean
13:31
he'll have some open shots from the outside. Obviously, the offense is dominated
13:35
by guys like Tyrese Haliburton, right, Miles Turner inside, things like that.
13:39
So for me, it's Giannest, it's Haliburton, it's aaron Ne Smith.
13:43
I really like that. And then you can go to some of these
13:46
guys in the mid tier, like at Brook Lopez right at five to seven
13:50
Brook Lopez is always a threat to nuke any slate here. It's just I
13:54
love Gianna so much that I don't know if I can get to a guy
13:56
like Brook Lopez. Here, Chris Middleton at seven to one, his price
14:00
point is coming up. So I don't love that now. I mean,
14:03
he's he's gonna get his thirty to thirty three minutes, thirty two minutes somewhere
14:05
in that ballpark. Seven to one. He's still got to contest with Dame,
14:09
still got to contest with Giannis. So I think it's Giannis, Halibert
14:11
and Nie Smith for me in this one, and I love all three of
14:15
them a lot in this spot. Yeah, tell you a little bit about
14:18
real quickly, you know. I want to throw this at board with what
14:20
Hebrews said. If you haven't, if you remember at Ship in Nation mixture,
14:24
you're checking out Hebrews. Uh, he does a daily slate plan.
14:26
But yeah, if we can get Nie Smith to avoid Giannis, which I
14:30
don't know that's gonna happen. I've seen, especially in that playing semi final
14:35
game, he was guarding him a bunch, So would obviously love to get
14:37
him off of Giannis to get out of foul trouble, but not sure that's
14:41
gonna happen. Hopefully we can get some clarity on that before before tip.
14:46
Yeah, I mean, I think they're gonna have to throw a kind of
14:48
a tornado approach at Giannis, to be honest, help defense with Jalen Smith,
14:52
Miles Turner inside. Nie Smith might try and be the on ball guy
14:56
with Giannis, which would kind of suck for him. But I mean,
15:01
it's just the price point and opportunity. I mean, he's gonna if he
15:03
doesn't get into follow trouble, which obviously is a big if against the guy
15:05
like Giannis, he's gonna be thrust it into probably thirty four minutes here at
15:11
five to one in a two sixty total right where he can pick up he
15:16
can knock down some outside perimeter shots, pick up some rebounds, pick up
15:20
some assists. So it's just a price point play for me. But definitely
15:24
is a good good thought in the chat because obviously, anytime you're going up
15:30
against guy like Yiannis, follow troubles always definitely in play. We are talking
15:33
pre show ham which you were saying Yiannis is the worst basketball player in the
15:37
year league. He just jumps into people and shoots seventeen free throws a game.
15:41
I don't know if I agree with that, but hey man, the
15:45
kids have studs. So definitely like this game a ton, much like everyone
15:48
will shopping to the next game here. It's the Detroit Pistons that I feel
15:54
like. I don't know if they're gonna win another game all season long,
15:58
but I'll head into Houston here to face the Rockets. Two twenty eight total
16:03
Rockets nine and a half point favorites here at home. In terms of injury
16:07
news, Terry Easton Jabari Smith are both questionable in this one ownership standpoint.
16:11
You got Bojon at six' four. He continues to be solid in that
16:15
mid tier. He's playing a lot of minutes. He's getting north of forty
16:18
minutes at six y four, which is a good price point. There got
16:22
Jayden Ivy, Jalen Duran. All the ownership in this game is going to
16:26
the Detroit side here. Touch on that and then anybody else on the Houston
16:30
side here. Yeah, I think the uh this is an interesting game.
16:36
I mean, I think those Pistons. Man, I watched that Boston game.
16:38
I know, I know Hebrew was excellent about it as well, but
16:42
man, those Pistons, I don't see how they lost twenty eighth straight.
16:45
They played so hard. And I watched the game the other night against the
16:48
Raptors that they finally won. I mean, Kay Cuttingham was a certified baller.
16:52
I think he's a really good player. He gets a really good matchup
16:56
tonight with Nad's his favorite player, Dylan Brooks still on the sidelines, so
17:00
uh, you know he'll he'll get fred a lot of Fred van Vliet,
17:03
you know, garden him as opposed to to Dylan Brooks. So I think,
17:07
I think Kate Cuttingham is a great play at eighty seven hundred bucks.
17:11
Uh, I think he's a smash play, honestly. And then uh,
17:15
Jalen Jalen Duran, you know, sixty seven hundred dollars. The three games
17:18
that he's been back, he's seen h thirty plus minutes and and in every
17:23
single game thirty four, forty and thirty three in the three games he's been
17:26
back. So I like, I like cutting him and Duran for the uh
17:33
for the Pistons. And then the big news is is Jabari Smith Junior and
17:37
Tari Easton gonna play? Jabari missed. I think the last game. Tari
17:41
has been questionable the last two or three games, so you know, if
17:45
they don't play, that's obviously going to open up some value because we don't
17:48
have a whole ton of value on this slate tonight. But I do like
17:52
Fred van Vliet, you know, on the other side of k then also
17:55
like Uh Seng Gooons. Seng Gooon's you know, been killing it eighty eight
17:59
hundred bucks for him. Those would be the four that I would focus on.
18:02
Kid Cunningham during Sengoon and Van Vliet would be my four favorite. And
18:06
then if some if some value opens up with Smith and easton Sitt, I
18:10
think you can look at some of those lower, lower priced rocket skies.
18:15
Yeah, I think my favorite playing this game is Fred van Vliet here.
18:21
I like the spot for Fred van Vliet. I get it, he is
18:23
priced up there at eighty two hundred here, but Man Detroit just doesn't defend
18:27
any any guards here. Fred van Vliet should absolutely smash here. The only
18:33
issue is obviously if the game blows out, that could be a concern.
18:37
Kid Cunningham, I do think is a certified baller by Pye all means,
18:41
I mean the kids a freak here, but I think Houston's going to do
18:45
anything in their power to throw pinches, traps, whatever they want and basically
18:51
put it on anybody else's shoulders, but Kate Cunningham here to allow them to
18:56
not get beat by one guy right in Kate, because obviously you look at
19:00
what Caid's been doing. I mean, he's been smashing and keeping them in
19:04
the game. So take him out of the and put it on guys like
19:08
Bojan Bogdanovic here, who I think is a fine option. Really don't like
19:12
Jayden iviets On here. I like him in more transition basketball, higher paced,
19:18
higher tempo games, and he's up to six to two, so I
19:21
really don't like that. Jalen Duran here has got a tough, tough matchup
19:26
against Sengun here, but man, I mean, since rereturning back from injury,
19:30
that Detroit just gives no FS about this guy's health. Because he's played
19:33
forty and thirsty four minutes returning back from an ankle injury. He's gonna have
19:37
to play all the minutes he can play here to match up with a guy
19:41
like Sengun, who is definitely a tough matchup, but again, he's gonna
19:44
play all the minutes he can handle to help try and contain Senguon. Both
19:48
of them pretty good defenders, so I think you could see them both bang
19:52
a little bit in the paint, go back and forth. So I guess
19:56
Jalen Duran at sixty seven hundred, just because you know the minutes are going
19:59
to be there, I wouldn't hate that play, so pretty much my two
20:02
favorite plays in this one. Fred van Vliet Jalen Duran. I'm out on
20:07
I'm out on a lot of these other guys. Jaydon Ivy, I'm not
20:11
gonna play Jadan and Ivy. Bojan Bogdanovich is getting some ownership here. I
20:14
think he's fine. I just don't love it. It's at the end of
20:17
the day. It's still a Pistons team here. Who's what three and twenty
20:21
eight on the season, something like that, three and twenty nine, So
20:25
just those two mainly for me in this spot, jumping into the next game.
20:30
We've got two games are the last three games all locket eight pm Central
20:33
time. Here again, if you guys are new, hit that like button,
20:37
hit the subscribe button if you have not already, and head over.
20:41
I see a guy Hebrew in the chat he does our slate plan over here.
20:45
He does amazing work, puts up a core every single night. He's
20:48
very very good NBA player, very good DFS player in general. So if
20:51
you want to check all his thoughts, obviously you catch him on the Tuesday
20:53
and Wednesday shows with our guy title. He's got that slate plan up.
20:57
I saw it in the discord already published that. So if you want to
21:00
get his thoughts, head over ship in nation dot com, join now and
21:03
get in there and check out his right up here. But how much Dallas
21:07
Utah Utah at home here in this one two forty six and a half total,
21:12
second biggest, our second largest total by a good margin. The other
21:15
totals are all in the two twenty six to two twenty eight range. Got
21:18
two outliers here this one, and then obviously that indie Milwaukee game we already
21:22
talked about here, touch on this one. You got a lot of injury
21:26
news right now. Lucas questionable, Kyrie's questionable, excellent is questionable. Obviously,
21:30
it's hard to break this game down with all those questionable tags. If
21:36
one of those guys sit, two of those guys sit, it's going to
21:37
give a ton of boost to other guys like Tim Hardaway, Jaden Hardy,
21:41
Josh Green, things like that. So it's hard to break down right now,
21:45
but as it stands, looks like Lori Market is getting all the ownership
21:48
on the Utah side. And then you've got Derek Jones Junior, who's been
21:52
decent. He remains five to two kind of in that mid tier. He's
21:56
been playing over thirty minutes. Touch on him and anyone else in this you're
22:00
looking at. Yeah, this is another exciting game for DFS purposes. I
22:06
mean, Luca obviously coming to questionable, He's he's been had the Q tag
22:08
next to his name for quite some time, expecting him to play eleven nine
22:14
Uh a little pricey, right, Uh, you know, nine hundred obviously
22:17
nine hundred dollars more than Yanna's different position, but uh, this is a
22:21
this is a great matchup for Luca going into Utah. Really like Luca Tonight.
22:26
I personally would side uh Yannis over Luca just based on the nine hundred
22:33
dollars salary difference, But I don't think it's the worst play to play Luca
22:37
Tonight out eleven nine. Uh. On the other side, Laurie Marketing you
22:41
said, he's you know, coming in the highest owner of this game,
22:42
and rightfully so. Uh, this guy, you know, set up for
22:45
a nice matchup against this Dallas team that does not protect the three point line
22:51
or the ren very well. So I don't mind Lauri marketing. Eight thousand
22:53
dollars is the very fair price for him in a game that if the coach
22:57
is gonna give him his minutes, his proper you know, thirty two thirty
23:00
six minutes, he's going to pay that tag off and then some. So
23:03
don't mind Laurie at eight thousand. And then on the Mavericks side, Derek
23:08
Lively fifty four hundred at the center position. Pick and roll game that he's
23:14
developed with Luca has just been pretty pretty good, and he's getting a lot
23:18
of easy dunks layups around the rim. So don't mind Derek Lively. Uh,
23:23
that's kind of the extent of it. You said to touch On.
23:26
Who who was that one you said to touch On? I don't have any
23:27
interest in him, but I think you mentioned somebody else. Derek Jones Jr.
23:32
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, Derek Jones. I mean he's fine,
23:34
fifty two hundred. I mean I won't get there. I like Lively better
23:37
than him. I mean, obviously different positions. I understand that, but
23:41
I would take Lively over Derrick Jones. Yeah, I mean you could make
23:45
a case to play Luca here. Luca's definitely going to be lower on Thaniannis
23:49
due to the nine hundred dollars in general. And I mean if Luca goes
23:55
here, he's going to be guarded by what who Fontacillo on Utah here?
23:59
Last time? What he go forty ten and eleven triple double and in thirty
24:03
two minutes something like that. So Luca obviously always a threat to go for.
24:07
I mean, I mean he just put up ninety seven and a half
24:11
a couple on Christmas right, seventy sixty three, so he's always got the
24:15
ceiling there. I think I'm with you. I prefer Giannis, but ownership
24:19
is also going to follow that way. But I like the nine hundred dollars
24:22
as well. That goes along with it, So I do like that.
24:27
I think Kyrie Irving obviously becomes pretty much a lock for me if Luca does
24:32
sit in this game, if they both play, I think I prefer Janis
24:37
just because again they're both in there. Lori Markt and I think at Ak
24:42
is fine. I see some questions about the jazz centers in the chat.
24:48
I mean, Walker Kesler is a stud, but man, you just can't
24:52
trust his minutes. He would be my preferred guy at just fifty six hundred
24:56
because I know he's got a ceiling. It's just it's tough because you don't
25:02
know what kind of minutes he's going to get. I mean, one game
25:04
he gets eighteen minutes, the next game he gets twenty nine. So without
25:08
his minutes being in there, he hasn't been great either. I just know
25:11
the type of player. He's always a threat for a double double, potential
25:15
triple double as well. So at five to six, if you need a
25:18
low owned guy in there and take a chance on it in GPPs, I
25:22
think i'd prefer Walker Kessler, but man, really don't have a ton of
25:26
interest there. Overall, it's pretty much Kyrie Irving in this game. For
25:30
me. I think Derek Jones Junior is an okay value play. I'm with
25:34
you. Derek Lively, I think is a solid value as well, but
25:38
man, he's center only. He's fifty four hundred, and again his minutes
25:45
twenty five to fifteen thirty five there's really no consistency with the minutes there.
25:51
So overall, for me, if all these guys are in, I think
25:53
I'm going to be under on this game and just much rather would play that
25:56
Indiana Milwaukee game. I think you can still pull pieces from here. I
26:00
think a lot of teams are gonna pull some pieces from here, mainly on
26:03
the Jazz side, because the Jazz have a lot of mid tier guys,
26:06
right. Walker Kessler's in that mid tier, John Collins is in the mid
26:08
tier. Sexton Clarkson are all in that mid tier, mid tier five K
26:12
to six K range. So I think I just grabbed the studs and and
26:17
move on here. For me personally, in this one touch on Charlotte in
26:22
Denver here, and I believe Terry Rogier was a midday downgrade, which doesn't
26:27
usually bode very well for DFS purposes here. So Rosier probably in my opinion,
26:33
sits in this game here, which gives boost to guys like Miles Bridges,
26:40
some backup point guards, Ish Schmith, Brandon Miller, Cody Martin might
26:44
get a little bit more run at four six touch on this one here Denver
26:48
and Charlotte. Yeah, I mean, obviously you gotta like Jokic. You're
26:52
you're you're a Jokics at home truther. Uh, you've got that ingrained in
26:56
my head now. Some anytime Yokic is at home always interested him. He's
27:00
got the absolute nut matchup tonight against this Hornets team that is just atrocious a
27:06
protecting the rim. He's in a great spot tonight. I mean, your
27:08
concern there is gonna be can the can the Hornets keep it competitive against the
27:14
defending world champions, And I just don't know if they can so at eleven
27:18
three. I mean, while Jokich is an amazing play, great spot for
27:21
him, I'm gonna side with with Giannis at the same position save that three
27:25
hundred dollars. But you know that's what a lot of people are gonna do.
27:27
They're gonna be, you know, think similarly to that. But Jokic
27:30
can get a triple double in three quarters. Uh, If for some reason
27:33
it's kept close and he has to play us full a lot and goes four
27:37
quarters, then uh, he's in a great spot. So so definitely,
27:40
like Jokic waiting to see the news on Aaron Gordon, I think he's still
27:44
questionable. He's gonna try to come back tonight, and then if Rogier plays,
27:48
and we saw what Rogier did on Friday night against the Suns, just
27:52
absolutely lit the Suns up. So I guess I think you have to have
27:55
a little bit of interest in Rosier at eighty five hundred. And then and
28:00
then the last piece that I want to touch on for the Nuggets is gonna
28:04
be Michael Porter Junior. I like Michael Porter Jr. At that price tag
28:08
at sixty nine hundred. Should Gordon sit? I would only have interest if
28:12
Gordon sits for Michael Porter Juniors opens up a few more rebounds and shots for
28:15
him. If Gordon should sit, so definitely like Jokic, like Rogie on
28:19
the other side of the Michael Porter Junior. Should Aaron Gordon sit? Yeah,
28:25
I mean Terry Rose here, I don't think. I mean, I
28:26
believe it wasn't mid day don Grade with an illness. I believe so definitely
28:32
monitor that we should get that news at least before, hopefully before that Milwaukee
28:37
Indie game tips off. I'm kind of baking on the stuck. This slate
28:41
starting at seven PM is kind of how I'm approaching it. I didn't like
28:45
that Cleveland Toronto game too much. Obviously you could play Contraria and Jared Allen
28:48
are a piece or two from that game. But basically I like these the
28:52
two seven pm games and then these eight pm games. Is kind of how
28:56
I'm approaching the slates. So we should get that news. Aaron Gardon,
28:59
I haven't an update on him. He is six to one. That is
29:02
a cheap price point for Aaron Gordon here in the matchup against Charlotte, but
29:06
again, if he misses, obviously gives a boost to guys like h Porter
29:11
Junior here, but Porter Junior's prices up tilmost seven K. You got Jamal
29:15
Murray back in the mix. It's pretty much Jokic your pass for me in
29:19
this spot. Jokic should be able to do whatever he wants here. The
29:25
only issue is is right the blowout? I mean, I think that's the
29:27
only thing that stands in his way here. Denver sixteen point favorites at home
29:32
to twenty six total, So Jokic I think is a fine option. But
29:37
outside of that, I really don't like too many of these guys. Don't
29:40
usually build for blowouts too much, but pretty good chance this one blows out
29:44
here with Charlotte, especially if Terry Rogier does miss this game, I don't
29:47
see a way that Charlotte does keep this close. I guess you could play
29:49
a guy like Nick Richards here, just because Charlotte's gonna need to keep the
29:53
size out there to contest with Jokic and PJ. Washington is not going to
29:57
be able to get that the full allotment of minutes that he'll need, so
30:03
Nick Richard should get a little bit boost there, so I don't hate him.
30:06
But overall, it's pretty much Jokic your pass in this spot, and
30:11
I definitely am on team Giannis over Jokic. I do like that Jokic,
30:14
Giannis, and Jokician and Luca are all in that eleven k range because all
30:22
of them are going to pick up some ownership. Jannis is definitely gonna be
30:25
the chalkiest guy. He's in the best spot in my opinion, and the
30:29
closest spread, so I'm definitely team Yiannis. But again, it's still gonna
30:33
limit people from just absolutely smashing Jannis, So I do like that because all
30:40
these guys are gonna get an ownership, so I definitely just prefer Janis jump
30:45
on the last game here. Obviously, we just got the news Kevin Durant
30:49
shortly before we went live. Kevin Durant is gonna be out in this game,
30:53
so it brings us chalk. Bradley Beal at six to one. I
30:57
think he's a great play here against Portland, Bradley Bus He's about a five
31:02
percent usage rate increase. Once Kevin Durant is off the court, he gets
31:07
a big boost. Grayson Allen gets a big boost actually as well, but
31:10
Grayson Allen is up to six' two here. Touch on this one,
31:14
obviously. Bradley bu very very good play for a good reason. You got
31:17
Jabari Walker at just five k flat. He's been crushing there for Portland.
31:22
Where are you going this one? Portland Phoenix, last game of the night
31:26
two twenty eight and a half. Sun's favored by nine and a half here
31:27
at home. Yeah, I mean if Bradley Bill plays, which all indications
31:33
are that he is, I mean he's he's a certified lock tonight in my
31:36
opinion, sixty one hundred bucks no KD, so his usage is going to
31:40
go way up. Scot I think I think you have to play him definitely
31:44
in cash and then even you know, GPPs if you want to go there
31:45
sixty one hundred, tough to pass on that. Outside of him, my
31:48
favorite son would be arguably the greatest center over the last seven days. Nurkic
31:56
not big on the revenge narrative so to speak, but you know, playing
32:00
his former team. But but Nerk has just been crushing it all season or
32:04
not all season long, the last last two plus weeks, and it gets
32:07
a great matchup tonight. Know, DeAndre Ayton just a really really good spot
32:12
for Nurkic seven four. It's gonna come down to him or Allen For me,
32:15
I think at the at the center of utility position. If I go
32:19
Yannis so really like Bradley Beal's sixty one hundred, really like Nurkic at seven
32:22
to four, and then waiting on some news you said, Jabari Walker is
32:29
a good play, Malcolm Malcolm Brogden to potentially good play, and then Scoot
32:32
Henderson potentially a good play too, depending on the news we get with uh
32:36
with Sharp. If Sharp is out, I like those guys even more.
32:40
But give me some Bill, give me some Nerk and then give me you
32:45
know, Walker, Brogden or Scoot Henderson, depending on the news that we
32:47
get with with sharp. Yeah, I think Beal's a lock for me in
32:52
this spot. I think that's just play you plug in there in that one,
32:57
I think he could spend up if you want to be different, right,
33:00
everyone's gonna be pretty much coming pre loaded with Bradley Beal just because obviously
33:05
he's six' to one. He gets a huge boost with Durant off the
33:07
court. You could flip it and just go to d book as a contrarian
33:12
spend up at nine to eight, who obviously does get a boost as well
33:15
with no Durant, but as Bial and Nurkics. For me, I think
33:19
Nurkic is the best center player in the slate. I love uses Nurkic here
33:22
at seven four. I think he's gonna absolutely destroy this Portland team here he's
33:29
been destroying lately as well. Seven to four very good price point here he
33:34
checks out as one of the best values for me on the entire slate,
33:37
especially and even at that seven four. So really like nirk really like Bradley
33:42
Beal in this spot on the Portland side. For me, let me just
33:46
double check. Here's something real quick looking at the Portland side. Nothing stood
33:51
out too much for me on Portland I mean maybe a guy like Scoot Henderson
33:55
at six to one. He's been playing good lately, finally starting to figure
34:00
it out. But it is got to take it for for what it's worth.
34:04
I mean, he played the Spurs back to back, which the Suns
34:07
are no Spurs there how much. So what's your talk take on a guy
34:10
like Scoot Henderson six to one? He's been getting thirty six, thirty seven
34:15
minutes. But again, both those matchups were against the Spurs, which is
34:17
a different team than than these Phoenix Suns. Yes, Scoot said he wanted
34:21
to win the Rookie of the Year, so I mean, obviously he's he's
34:23
uh, he's trying. He's trying to get the Rookie of the Year.
34:25
At this point, I like Scoot. I don't mind Scoot. I believe
34:30
Sharp missed the last two games, if I'm not mistaken, so I think
34:34
that's why his minutes were up the way they were. I mean, it's
34:36
like I said, if Sharp misses, yeah, and Sharp has been out
34:38
a couple of weeks. If Sharp misses again, I don't mind Scoot,
34:42
but we might be Boot Scoot boogieing all the way to the to the bank.
34:45
If if he if he if Sharp sits and Scoot does well, so
34:49
I don't mind Scoot if Sharp sits, uh, and then I like I
34:52
like Brogden and Walker as well in this game to go along with Bill and
34:57
or Nurkic. All right, perfect, Well, that's all six games.
35:01
He broke it down. Obviously, there is some injury news to pay attention
35:05
to, especially from that Dallas side in the second heighst total on the slate
35:09
Dallas in Utah. How much I'll throw it over to you. Give a
35:12
play of the day before we get it out of here. Play of the
35:15
day. All right, Uh, I'm gonna go with my boy. Let's
35:22
see here. I'm gonna go with Laurie Markinen at eight thousand dollars. I
35:28
think he gets a sixty burger tonight against this Dallas Mavericks team all around bad
35:31
defensively. Give me some Lauri Marking at eight k LOORI marketing. Well,
35:37
I'm going to another five sub five percent on stud here in the Absolute Stone
35:42
matchup. He's coming off back to back twenty twenty games. I'm calling Tyrese
35:46
Haliburton sixty five to seventy DraftKings points here. He's gonna keep it rolling.
35:52
That game's gonna be fun to watch. I hope my bucks pull it off,
35:54
but if they don't, it's definitely gonna be because Tyrese Haliburton is absolutely
35:59
setting defisor of Forum on Fire tonight. I love Tyres haliburtn here ten three.
36:05
He's sub five percent. I think he goes off for sixty plus for
36:07
sure in this spot. Really like him. I really like getting the build
36:10
together with Tyrese and Giannis. You're gonna have to fade some of these other
36:15
good plays like Nurkish that we talked about, some of these other good spots,
36:17
but I do think that is a pretty interesting build, and definitely one
36:22
of my main teams will be that build. Pairing those two guys together.
36:24
Hope they both get me one hundred and fortye hundred and fifty combined DraftKings points
36:29
and then find the rest the other one hundred and fifty or one hundred and
36:32
seventy points that you need to ship all the contests. So that'll do it.
36:37
We appreciate everyone watching as always. Happy New Year's Thank you guys so
36:40
much for all the support at Shipping Nation over here. We got an amazing
36:45
