It's not your Hamdwich host on a Friday here, it's me NIDS running it
0:53
back here handwhich is I'll probably enjoy some cold ones, enjoying some time out
0:57
on the beach, out on the I mean the guys was set out on
1:00
to see yesterday when I messaged him living his best life? Who runs better
1:03
than Hamdwich? Really? But we're here to break it down second ever,
1:08
No late swap again over here on DraftKings for the NBA slate. Luckily it's
1:14
not a massive slate. It's only six games. There is some injury news
1:17
in that Clippers game that is pretty big piece of news that we'll try and
1:19
navigate through again. Obviously, no late swap. Once the slate locks at
1:23
six, you're kind of setting stone, so definitely won't. We'll try and
1:26
navigate that. But if you guys are new, hit that like button,
1:30
hit that subscribe button. Hope you guys are having an amazing Friday. Bring
1:34
my guy Rio in the grinder himself. This guy knows every freaking stat there
1:38
is to know. He's out there crushing the slate. Plan. If you're
1:41
not a member and not familiar with the slate plan. Not sure what you're
1:44
doing. We'll hit on that in a second, but real man, happy
1:46
Friday, what's going on? Brother? Yeah? Happy Friday. I was
1:49
just informed right before we got on the show that apparently it's Saint Patrick's Day
1:53
weekend, So sure we'll have some good stuff going on this weekend for that.
1:57
But yeah, doing pretty good was a man heartbreaker for me last night.
2:02
I had had the nuts and the lotto had PJ Washington over Daniel Gafford
2:07
if I had Gafford shipping one hundred k, but instead PJ Washington decided that
2:13
he forgot how to play basketball last night and shot one for eleven from the
2:15
field, all for seven from a three point range, got a bunch of
2:17
good looks and played a time and it's just just was terrible. But yeah,
2:23
looking at bounce Back tonight, got a couple entries in the The Qualified,
2:27
get a live final seat in the four dollars Mini Max tonight as well.
2:30
Yeah, I'm actually kind of excited for the Late Swap slate. I
2:34
don't think that last time we did Late Swap I didn't do enough of the
2:38
guest work in terms of in terms of the injury stuff, I was kind
2:43
of like kind of on the Malak Monk train last time, and then darreon
2:46
Fox got ruled after the lock. If you ended up playing Monk, you
2:50
got you know, fifty something points out of him against Minnesota and he was
2:53
three four percent own. So hopefully we can pinpoint some of those guys tonight
2:58
and see if we can have some of those low and plays get us the
3:00
top of the leader boards. Yeah. No, absolutely, Obviously when you're
3:05
when you're talking to the late swap, right, you can't adjust based on
3:07
the injury news. You got to kind of pick your out and pick your
3:12
thoughts and navigate that at the start right and build your teams accordingly to that,
3:16
whether it's M and me, whether it's two three formatx five max teams,
3:21
whatever you're playing. So we'll be we'll be talking through that the best
3:25
we can. And say hi to a couple of people. I got new

5:11
us out of town. Right here, let's kick it off real, I'll
5:14
throw it over to you any broad slate overveal quick before we go game by
5:16
game. Obviously, you talked right last time the league Monk situation last Friday
5:21
with the no late swap. We got another no late swap slate here hour
5:26
after the first lock. There is some hardened news right in that Clippers That
5:29
is probably the biggest piece of news. Obviously, we saw hard and Sit
5:31
last night. That kind of threw us off for a loop. And my
5:34
guy bones Hiland came in there and just absolutely stone cold nutted on the slate.
5:39
If you didn't have him at his price point, it was pretty hard
5:41
to win anything when he goes out there and he subbed five k, dropping
5:44
fifty points. Any broad slate overview talking that Harden news a little bit and
5:47
anything that you're kind of seeing off the top, and you're gonna see a
5:51
lot of chalk condensing around this Utah in Atlanta game, and for a good
5:56
reason. Both team's pretty thin. I will definitely get to that game late
6:00
as it's the last game on the slate tonight and see if we can get
6:01
some pivots. But yeah, I mean, like the builds kind of seem
6:06
like you're going with a Jokich, going with some of these Utah value pieces
6:11
like a THHT and then like Marcus Setzer and Jonathan Isaac those types of plays,
6:16
and then like filling in some other pieces in Atlanta and Utah game.
6:21
I think there's some ways around it, because I do like some of these
6:24
games in the middle, like the Miami Detroit game I think has a little
6:27
bit of fantasy appeal. Even the first game on the slate, the Phoenix
6:29
Charlotte one has a little bit don't mind some of these Orlando pieces as well,
6:32
So I do think there's some ways to get around it. But I
6:34
do kind of agree with the chalk builds right now being the Utah and Atlanta
6:40
team and then get in some of the Denver pieces. So that's how probably
6:43
gonna play it tonight. Yeah, No, excellent breakdown from a overall slate
6:47
breakdown. My breakdown is it's a lot of games that feel pretty gross to
6:51
me. I mean, if you look at just the Vegas totals, right,
6:54
the highest total in the slates two twenty three, I mean a lot
6:57
of times they're seeing totals up in the upper two thirty, right even two
7:00
forties this season. So definitely, I think overall is going to be a
7:03
lower scoring slate. Obviously, there's a lot of chalk, like you said,
7:08
condensed around some of those like Gante George, right, Colin Sexton,
7:12
DeAndre Hunter that we'll talk about a little bit, some of those Detroit pieces
7:15
as well. So I do think it's interesting that's kind of my thirty thousand
7:18
feet overview as well. If you like a spot right, don't worry about
7:24
what the total says, because all the totals on this game are pretty are
7:27
on the slate are pretty pretty equivalent, right, ranging from two fifteen to
7:30
two twenty three. And that's not kind of a standard night here in the
7:34
in the NBA, so it should be an interesting slate. Let's kick it
7:38
off with Phoenix and Charlotte here, pulling up the injury news again. This
7:42
is let me from a from a total standpoint here, two seventeen total,
7:46
massive spread right, Phoenix favored by ten. Here from an injury standpoint,
7:50
LaMelo Ball remains out here, Eric Gordon is probable. Outside of that,
7:54
the injury news really doesn't matter. Mcgallan's is out right, Okogi is out,
7:58
but that doesn't matter too much. God expected to play, expect to
8:01
be back here, big spread here, Phoenix on the road in Charlotte on
8:05
the back end of a back to back Any interest in this one where you're
8:11
going from a DFS perspective, Yeah, a ton of interest in this game.
8:16
I do think that you could make a case for these studs. The
8:18
k D Booker, Nurkic and Bradley balle all in pretty good spots. But
8:22
I mean the Charlotte Hornets, they've actually been playing pretty good defense since the
8:28
All Star break. I'm adding guys, you know, like Grant Williams,
8:30
who's always been a pretty solid defender. I think that Trey Man, even
8:33
in his own right, is a decent defender. So they've been It could
8:37
be just them playing a lot slower as well, because this is kind of
8:39
a team that we've known to be pretty fast paced in years past, but
8:43
they've been pretty pretty slow paced team this season, so that kind of is
8:46
reflected in the total. Yeah, I mean, I don't really have a
8:50
ton of interest in these guys. I think that like Katie and Booker are
8:52
fine. I'm probably just gonna be a max one of the big probably Bax
8:58
two of the studs in KD Booker, Nurkic, and Bradley Beal. I
9:03
think that I like Katie the best. His matchup probably going to be the
9:05
better of all four. I think that Nurkic has a pretty solid matchup as
9:09
well, but Charlie's been much better defensively, especially in the interior. But
9:13
KDI going to be guarded by Miles Bridges, tonight Charlotte BTTOM four DVP versus
9:18
Power Forwards the season, Katie, you know, kind of coming out of
9:20
a shooting slump, he did you know he was on his way to a
9:22
great game last I think it's Boston. Then they kind of shut him down
9:26
the rest of the game after the first quarter. But I mean before that,
9:28
he put up fifty nine to sixty nine, thirty five real points.
9:31
Thirty five real points. So I think that with the nature of the slave
9:35
being pretty low scoring, a nine point six k K nine point six K
9:39
Kevin Durant could be on the winner. But yeah, I don't I don't
9:43
love this game in particular. We have seen Phoenix be very vulnerable to lead
9:48
ball handlers, so like mechich and Trey Mann, I guess are kind of
9:52
interesting. But at almost six K in a low scoring game, how much
9:56
you know, what really is their ceiling on this type of slate. So
10:00
I'm kind of okay. Getting away from that, I think that Bridges is
10:01
kind of okay as well. Matchup about neutral going up against Vin Durant.
10:05
Phoenix been pretty bad at giving up a ton of three pointers lately, so
10:11
Bridges is kind of like slightly above average in every offensive categories. I think
10:15
that he's just okay, can kind of get there just because he plays around
10:18
forty minutes a night. And then I'll just mention Pokachevski. You know,
10:24
that's an okay see guy that everybody was playing, you know, during the
10:26
COVID season, during those seasons when the thunder were really thin. But he's
10:33
started to get a little bit more run, got up to the twenty seven
10:35
minutes last game, put up twenty four DK points, So we need some
10:39
value. I don't think that he's the craziest play I don't really know exactly
10:41
how much we can expect out of him on a nightly basis, because their
10:46
coach, Steve Flifford, said that he wasn't really going to be like a
10:48
mainstay in the rotation. He said they weren't really looking to get him minutes.
10:52
But it could just be because he kind of ran pretty hot last game
10:54
and played pretty well. But I mean, he's always been pretty talented.
10:58
I know that a boomer or the okay see guy has always liked Poku and
11:01
was wondering why he wasn't gating minutes with Okac, But yeah, I don't
11:05
know, I don't really have a strong lean on him if he's gonna play,
11:07
if these minutes are actually sticky. So I'm kind of okay just getting
11:11
away from this game personally. Yeah, no great breakdown, amazing breakdown there.
11:18
I think Beal Booker and Nurkic. I think in my stuff Max is
11:22
one of those guys. I think they're all great plays. Probably my favorite
11:24
is going to be Nurkic just centers against the Charlotte team seventy two hundred.
11:28
The price is right there. We know the ceiling that Nurkic can have coming
11:33
off a massive game right last night against Boston, much tougher matchup, scored
11:37
twenty rebounds here, should have his way to a pretty easy double double here.
11:41
Obviously just missed the double double last night by by a field. Go
11:46
there. So I like Nurkis quite a bit at seventy two hundred. Here,
11:48
Kevin Durant is probably my second favorite. I'm Kevin Durant over bal Or
11:56
Booker, So Nurkich my favorite, Kde my second favorite. I think on
12:00
the Charlotte side, I don't really can't deal with the trade man and Mesich.
12:05
They're basically splitting down the middle. They're both six K right fifty nine
12:09
hundred and six K. It's just tough for me to play those price points
12:11
in this spot, to in this total, in this in this slow pace.
12:15
I think my favorite play here Miles Bridges. Obviously he can play him
12:18
any day, just because he's basically locked into his minutes, he's got all
12:22
the opportunity. But I actually like Brandon Miller a little bit here. He's
12:26
gonna be Garden obviously a very tough offensive target on the other end here,
12:31
so he's gonna be getting getting all the minutes he can handle there. I
12:35
think. I think it's a decent favorable matchup here. He does have some
12:39
fall concern right with with with Garden the the other side of the ball,
12:45
but seventy not in this matchup. I don't hate him. But again,
12:50
overall, from a DFS perspective, starting the game off here, starting to
12:52
slid off, it's not great. I don't love this game. I'd be
12:56
fine with nobody from this game, but I do think you could get a
12:58
little different grab one of these guys. I feel like this game is going
13:01
to be very low owned in general, so I think it's a solid contrarian
13:05
spot for some of these guys, some of these studs in particular right Nurkic
13:07
KD Brandon Miller of Bridges. But outside of that, don't really want to
13:13
grab any any value place here or any contrarian like kind of fringe fringe guys
13:16
here for me in that spot. Jump to the next one. Here we
13:22
have Miami in Detroit in terms of this one two fifteen total. Here Miami
13:26
favored by eight. Injury news in this one, Kate Cunningham questionable. I
13:33
didn't look at shoot around her or not, but Kate Cunningham coming in questionable.
13:37
Assar Thompson got ruled out, Quentin Grimes is ruled out, Bam is
13:41
probable, Tyler Hero remains out right, Kevin Lover remains out. That's the
13:43
main injury news, right, bam Adebio Kate Cunningham. The two main ones
13:48
touch on this game. From a DFS perspective, A lot of ownership seems
13:50
to be going here, Guys like Samon Fontaccio, right, Marcus Sasser probably
13:56
gets a little bit of ownership here. Jaden Ivy, Terry Rose Year,
14:01
Duncan Robinson, Jimmy Butler. I think there's a lot of good plays.
14:05
I think this is a pretty good game from a DFS perspective in nature to
14:07
the slate. But where are you going? Yeah, I'll start with the
14:11
Detroit stuff because I think that the Caid news obviously really big in terms of
14:15
the outlook on the slate, because that would open up a ton of value.
14:18
Jay and Ivy and Marcus Sasser mainly would be the two guys that benefit
14:22
the most. But yeah, I mean it's kind of I do think that
14:26
Caid has a pretty good chance to sit here. It's just the rotations.
14:30
I don't know. I think that he might be dealing with an injury,
14:33
like his knee might not be one hundred percent obviously, Tom when they listen
14:37
with knee management, this was something that kept him out for you know,
14:39
a full month. But I mean the minutes just way way down. He
14:43
didn't play the last fifteen minutes of the game versus Detroit versus Toronto last game,
14:48
only played thirty or twenty eight minutes, thirty two minutes a game before
14:50
that, thirty two of the game before that, And like Monty Williams reasoning
14:56
behind it was that he'd just said that Marcus Asser the line they had out
15:00
there with Marcus Sasser, was they wanted to close with it because that's the
15:03
one that got down the lead. I mean, that's just you don't bench
15:05
your star number one overall player for Marcus Sasser unless he's dealing with something.
15:11
So I'm kind of thinking that Kate has a pretty good chance to sit here,
15:15
and yeah, that would make me have a ton of interest in in
15:16
Sasser. In Jade and Ivy, I would I would prefer Sasser obviously,
15:20
just for the huge price discount. I think the matchup would be a little
15:22
bit tougher for Jade and Ivy. He would have a little bit more of
15:26
the defensive attention because they know, you know, he's a former lottery pick.
15:30
He's really talented. I think that they would kind of hone in on
15:33
him a little bit more than they would on Marcus Sasser. So I would
15:35
prefer him. And then yea, Fontechio gonna get another start here for FORSR.
15:41
Thompson. I know that people are probably gonna be not wanting to go
15:43
back to him because he did terrible in the last game, But I mean
15:46
the opportunity is there, and that's kind of all that you want to look
15:50
at for DFS. Obviously he did not do well, only shot three for
15:52
eleven, two for seven from deep great matchup versus Toronto, just couldn't get
15:56
anything going. Yeah, put up sixty and a half DK points. But
16:00
I mean the minutes he played thirty eight minutes played thirty seven the game before
16:03
that, thirty two of the game before before that. So he's definitely got
16:06
the trust of the coaching staff. And I mean, this is a matchup
16:10
that I think a player like him could do really well at. I try
16:12
to highlight it whenever we see the heat on on slates. Same reason that
16:17
I liked to Michael Porter Junior the other night against Miami and he did pretty
16:19
well. This Miami team just selling out to defend the rim right now.
16:25
They're one of the best room defenses in the league, but they play a
16:27
lot of his own and that, you know that lends itself to opposing teams
16:32
getting a lot of three point shots off. So guys that can you know
16:36
that can succeed in catch a shoot situations in three point situations, I think
16:40
would be like a guy like Fontachio. So I'm okay going back to him
16:42
tonight, even after he just failed for US last game, and I think
16:48
like Wiseman is kind of okay to keeping your player pool just because he's been
16:51
playing much better. Gonna split the center minutes with Duran He I don only
16:55
have a strong lean on that. I do want to highlight Stanley a Mouday.
16:59
He played fifteen minutes last game, put up twenty draftings points with only
17:03
four to five points, seven rebounds, three steals. But I mean,
17:06
this has been a guy that's kind of just ramly gotten minutes at times this
17:08
season. Saw him played twenty nine against Portland earlier in February, but he
17:14
kind of got the minutes over Evan Fournier last game. So if Kate Cunningham
17:18
misses, maybe we see a little bit more minutes out of mood Ay.
17:22
Just kind of somebody to keep keep your eye on, or maybe get some
17:23
sprinkles of him and your one fifty if you're doing that the micro Max tonight.
17:30
And then on the Heat side of things, I really like the spot
17:32
for Jimmy Butler tonight, Gonna you know, a tougher matchup going up against
17:36
Isaiah Stewart, who I do respect as a defender. But this Heat team
17:40
coming off of four straight losses. They need to start getting some wins off,
17:42
and I mean they've lost to some pretty bad teams. They lost to
17:45
the Wizards at home, so yeah, I mean, this team just definitely
17:48
needs to get some wins or now. And I think that Jimmy's just going
17:51
to take over. I think he's gonna play a ton of minutes. He
17:52
has a pretty solid ball handing role. This Detroit team been really bad in
17:56
the pick and roll situations this season, so I think that he's really strong.
18:00
Spind up at eight point four K kind of okay getting away from BAM
18:04
here. Just the usage has not really been there, the upside hasn't really
18:07
been there. Sharing the court with Terry Rosier, Duran's actually been pretty solid
18:11
as a defender down low. So I'm I'm kind of okay getting off of
18:15
at BAM Mountebio. I mean, coming in with pretty high ownership as well,
18:18
so that that seems like the underweight stance for me. And I mean
18:22
the matchup really good for Terry Rozier. The Pistons are bottom three DVP versus
18:26
point guards. I just mentioned how they're bad and pick and roll, but
18:30
man, he's looking at like thirty plus percent. I would rather just I
18:33
think the leverage is just getting up to Jimmy Butler, who's coming in as
18:34
the lowest owned of the big three for Miami, and just leaning into that.
18:38
That's kind of how I'm gonna play it. Yeah, no, excellent
18:42
breakdown. I'm fully aligned here. I'll start with the Miami side. I
18:47
love the spot here for Jimmy Butler, all the things you alluded to.
18:49
Four straight losses here for this Miami team. Butler's kind of in a slumping
18:55
a little bit here, had a good game right last time. He went
18:57
twenty six, six and eight in the same matchup earlier this year against the
19:03
Isaiah Stewart size. It's not the greatest matchup on paper here, but we
19:07
could see a little a little Jimmy Butler, and at eight four he's definitely
19:11
got a ceiling with his talent level there. I mean second half of the
19:15
season here, right, getting into the last third basically the season, Jimmy
19:21
Butler is gonna start turning around here. I like this match up here.
19:25
I think it's a good spot for him. He's my favorite heat play by
19:26
far, and then my second favorite player would be Terry Rozier. Here I
19:30
think his matchup is pretty solid, right jad and Ivy not a great defender.
19:36
On the other end, Terry Rozier here six' eight, don't hate
19:40
him. I think he's got a good matchup and a pretty solid price point
19:42
there. So I don't know if i'd play those two guys together. I
19:45
think one or the other, Jimmy Butler or Roseier. I prefer Jimmy Butler,
19:49
but I think Rosier is fine, not going to get to BAM right.
19:52
I just don't like the spot. I don't like the matchup for him
19:56
inside pretty much my interest there. I think Duncle Robinson would be fine too
20:02
as well, but my main interest Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier, and then
20:07
on the Detroit side, I also think Kate Cunningham sits right that knee injuries
20:10
kind of kind of frightening. Right. Knee injury is not not a good
20:14
thing to have when you're when you're playing thirty five to forty minutes a game,
20:17
running up and down the court, and you're you're the main ball handle.
20:21
That there so brings guys like Marcus Sasser into play, for sure.
20:25
I think he's good. Jaydon Ivy not the greatest matchup, but for him,
20:27
but I think he's fine, just especially if Kaide misses. My favorite
20:32
Detroit piece is definitely Fontechio here. I love going back to him at five
20:36
to three here to all all the points that Real alluded to. I liked
20:38
him before you even even kind of sold me on him even more so,
20:42
I think it's a good game. I think you can grab a lot of
20:45
pieces. Obviously, cade news is big. We should have that news before
20:48
the slate locks, So definitely pay attention to that because that is big.
20:52
It's gonna bring a lot of guys in from Detroit into play if he misses,
20:56
a lot of usage to go around there. So overall, pretty good
20:59
game nature of the slate. I like some pieces on both sides there.
21:03
Jump to the next game here, Orlando and Toronto. In terms of this
21:07
one two seventeen total eight points spread here, Orlando favored by eight. In
21:12
terms of injury news in this one, RJ. Barrett's out outside of that,
21:18
Gary Trent is questionable. Besides that, really no news here. A
21:22
lot of ownership going to Jonathan Isaac at three to seven here. Touch on
21:26
that, touch on any other plays you have in this one. Orlando Toronto.
21:32
Yeah, man, sucks to I just heard about the RJ. Barrett
21:36
stuff. He had been out for a couple of games due to personal reasons,
21:38
but apparently it's because his younger brother just passed away, So condolences to
21:42
him. That's definitely super sad to see. But he's been playing really well
21:47
over here. I hope he can get back on the court soon. But
21:51
yeah, really sad stuff. But as far as this game goes, though,
21:55
always get pretty excited seeing Toronto on the slate. I mean, this
21:57
team is just a train wreck defensively, one of the worst teams defensive rating
22:02
wise since January first, getting beat up all over the place. Bottom three
22:06
rim defense, bottom six three point defense. Just yeah, they're just getting
22:10
killed all over the court. They don't have any good defenders right now,
22:11
especially if Gary Trent were to miss. I mean, they're just gonna be
22:15
extremely thin in terms of defense. Magic continue to play really really good defense
22:19
here, but pretty you know, a little bit more vulnerable to pick and
22:23
roll situations. Their bottom five this season in pick and roll points allowed.
22:26
So I think that the Toronto side is pretty easy for me because the only
22:30
one I'm really considering, and I don't really love it because the price tag
22:33
is emanual. Quickly touch time has been really good for him, got the
22:37
you know, the lead ball handing role, returned from the injury, played
22:41
full minutes, so I don't think we have to worry about any sort of
22:42
minutes limit on him. I just kind of struggle to see Toronto able to
22:47
keep this game close here, but it Quickly would be the only guy that
22:51
I'm considering on Toronto and then on Orlando. I really like the spot for
22:53
both Paulo and Franz. Toronto terrible rim defense. These are two guys that
22:59
have I mean, I think the Magic are first or second in terms of
23:02
at rim frequency scoring this season might be then the Pacers one and two,
23:06
but this is a team that's going to attack the paint, so I think
23:08
you want the guys that are going to score down low. So like Polo
23:11
and Franz look really good. We've seen paulow kind of he's kind of like
23:15
the Lebron James of this team, Like he is a pretty good touch time
23:18
for a forward, over leads a team in touch time with over five minutes,
23:22
so he always has the ball in his hands. The potential assists look
23:25
really good. I mean, he's a really good passer, so I think
23:27
that he's you know, a really strong spindive option to night eight point nine.
23:30
K really like to match up for him. Same thing for Franz.
23:33
We've seen him beat up on a really weak Riom defenses, Rim defenses this
23:37
season, kills the Wizards who are dead last, and Room defenses Toronto getting
23:41
much much worse. So I think that he could have a pretty pretty solid
23:45
game here, and it's coming in pretty low, and so I like him
23:47
a good bit at seven point two K. I want to like Wendell Carter
23:49
here because we just saw what Jalan Duran did to this team, but they're
23:53
just two different players. Durant is gonna, you know, he's super athletic,
23:57
going to be crashing the board the time, going to be down low,
24:00
just you know, bullyballing Kelly Olynnock, whereas like one of Carter Junior,
24:04
more of the like pick and pop screen guy doesn't have like a super
24:11
you know, big physical presence down low. So I do want to like
24:14
Wendell Carter, but yeah, no, I mean I could see the upside
24:18
for him here, but I just don't think that it's it's Apple Staples in
24:21
terms of comparing him and Jalen Duran and then yeah, Jonathan Isaac, I
24:25
think that he's a totally fine option at three point seven K because this Toronto
24:29
team, outside of being terrible defensively, I think that they are a team
24:33
that he could have like a pretty big stocks game against. This team is
24:37
you know, they're really young, they have a lot of guys that are
24:40
very turnover prone, just under talented. So I think that Isaac could definitely
24:44
capitalize off that he's been playing pretty well lately. But you know what you're
24:48
getting out of him, You're capped around like twenty minutes. I think it's
24:51
like the the absolute ceiling of him. But like eighteen to sixteen is about
24:56
where I would expect him to get his minutes most nights. He's been you
24:59
know, twenty twenty twenty three in his last four games, So yeah,
25:03
he could definitely eat I mean that that would be very valuable on this type
25:06
of slate tonight. So I kind of am okay with the Jonathan Isaac chuck,
25:10
but somebody exact same positional eligibility two hundred dollars cheaper on the same team.
25:15
Mo Wagner, who we've seen at times. I mean, he actually
25:18
has a ceiling. We've seen thirty to forty out of him, so that
25:22
looks like a pretty short pivot. If you're looking to make some sort of
25:26
leverage move in large field tournaments, I think that Mo Wagner would be the
25:30
guy you look to. Just you know, it's pretty pretty easy, straight
25:33
line pivot on the same team where you kind of double up on your leverage
25:37
right there. So That's where I'm going in this game. No excellent breakdown.
25:42
I'll echo a lot of the same things you said. I think my
25:45
favorite playing this game is just Franz. Right Raptors right now have absolutely zero
25:49
rin production. Franz leads the team in rim possessions. He's seven point two
25:56
k This is a classic explosion spot. Think good to I don't know if
26:00
I'd play them together. I think one or the other. In terms of
26:03
overall upside, I think upside, upside, ceiling upside. I think Paulo
26:07
has a little bit higher ceiling just due to the nature right of what he
26:11
can do. But I just like the spot and the price more for fons
26:17
here value outside of maybe if we get that Kate Cunningham news right, value
26:21
isn't great on the slate, So I mean, when you're saving fifteen hundred
26:25
dollars, does make a difference on the slate to get some of the get
26:29
off of some of that sparse value right, like a Larry Nanzer or something
26:33
like that that we're seeing right now. Obviously, if Kay Cunningham were to
26:37
miss that, that changes the entire dynamic of slate right, because a lot
26:41
of those Detroit values come in or mid tier Detroit guys. But Franz really
26:45
like the spot from him and the Toronto side. I agree with you quickly
26:49
would be the only guy. But I'm really not getting to anyone on the
26:52
Toronto side. There's just a dumpster fire. Orlando's very good, defensively easy
26:56
Crosshoff spot for me on Toronto. And then I don't hate the spot for
27:00
Window Carter. I think the price is right, the matchup's good. I
27:03
think he could easily get a double double here. He seems like more of
27:07
a safe play. I just don't know if the slate breaking ceiling is there
27:11
in this spot, just the way he plays, just the way the matchup
27:14
is. But I mean it's hard to ignore. It's hard to doubt that
27:18
he's gonna score at least ten points and get ten plus rebounds here. Toronto
27:21
is terrible with with rebounding, so window Carter should be able to suck up
27:26
all those rebounds on the inside. I think he's a good option at that
27:29
center play. Got to put him up against some of these other centers on
27:33
the slate. Right, We're gonna touch on Larry Nance in the next games.
27:37
He's getting a little ownership at his price point, just being a value
27:40
play there. We got obviously Jokic against the Spurs on the slate if you
27:44
want to spend all the way up, so we'll touch on that. But
27:45
overall, I think it's a pretty good game. Orlando is my main interest
27:48
in this one. Fraud's my favorite play before and then obviously I agree with
27:53
your take there on the Jonathan Isaac, I think it's a good match.
27:57
I mean it's a it's a soft matchup for him. Minutes are always the
28:00
concern there. He's just not going to see over twenty three to twenty two
28:03
minutes. But at three to seven as a value play, I don't think
28:07
it's it's the craziest one, but coming in with a lot of ownership.
28:11
He is definitely volatile, especially with the minutes there, and if this game
28:15
gets out of hand, I just don't know. I mean, I don't
28:18
think they're with his injury background, they're gonna run him out there a ton.
28:21
So overall decent game from the Orlando side. There three games left.
28:26
If you guys are new, hit that like button. Hit that subscribe button
28:29
helps us out a ton here. Next one we have Clippers and the Pelicans
28:34
in terms of the total two to seventeen total New Orleans seven point favorites at
28:40
home here injury news in this one, the big piece right, James Harden
28:44
questionable, Paul George's back, Kawhi Leonard is in there, Cody Zeller's back
28:48
as well. Talk about the James Harden piece right, because if he were
28:53
to miss, I mean, it's hard to ignore. Bones Highland at four
28:56
to three again would likely draw the start again at four point three k that'd
29:02
be a value play that obviously would become elite on the slate. But again
29:07
we're not going to have this news before those first two games for sure lock
29:11
and then obviously that's six thirty game locks. But again no late swap.
29:15
How are you building your teams in terms of that hardened news. Talk on
29:18
that, and then talk on anyone from the Pelican side that you have interest
29:22
in as well. Yeah, it's tough to really break down how to attack
29:26
this without knowing the news. With James Harden, just we're kind of just
29:32
hoping that we'll get that news early in the day enough to where we can
29:36
adjust it before the slate locks. But yeah, I mean this is like
29:40
the classic thing from like Malik Monk and Darren Fox last week where you can
29:45
kind of lean into the situation. If James Harden were to miss, You're
29:48
you're bumping up Kawhi, You're bumping up PG, bumping up. I mean
29:51
really everybody, Norm Palace, Zubac, obviously Buncehyland would would draw another start
29:55
and be a really solid value play. I don't know this game just f
30:00
it was like one that he probably would return in because this is a pretty
30:02
game, a pretty big game in terms of playoff seeding for the Western Conference
30:06
because these are the fourth and fifth seeded teams in the West right now,
30:10
which is I thought that Kawhi would have missed last night and then be rested
30:14
up for this game. He obviously played through the back injury, which I
30:18
thought was I mean, everybody thought it was a lot worse than what it
30:21
apparently is. It was just back backspastens, but like he left the arena
30:26
limping and stuff, so he I thought he was a lot more injured than
30:27
he actually was. But yeah, I don't know. I kind of am
30:32
expecting Harden to be back tonight. I think that I'm okay still get into
30:36
like, like, I like Paul George in this matchup regardless, just because
30:40
the Pelicans have been a bit more vulnerable at times to three point shooters.
30:44
Tyler talking about getting Paul George more touches in the offense, just like getting
30:48
more ball handling for him, kind of starting to get him ramped up more
30:52
so for the playoffs, just because they know how how crucially he'll be for
30:56
this team in the playoffs time. And I feel like he's been you know,
30:59
in and out the lineup a ton this year. Like he gets going
31:02
a lot, he starts to look really really good and healthy, and then
31:03
he misses some time. So I think that this is kind of the time
31:07
they want to start to ramp him up heading into playoffs right now, So
31:10
I like Paul George regardless tonight. I yeah, I mean that's pretty much
31:15
it. Like I think I would lean into the Paul George stuff more so,
31:18
I don't really want to have like a super strong, overweight stance on
31:22
Bones Highland, because I kind of am thinking that James Harden is more seventy
31:26
thirty to play tonight, but playing one hundred and fifty tonight. So I'll
31:30
definitely have to mainly force in some Bones lineup because I think that even,
31:33
like we talked about it pre show, like if you're left with Bones at
31:37
four point three k and James Harden is in, like, it's not the
31:41
worst thing in the world. It's it's obviously not what you want. It's
31:44
not ideal. But even in a couple of games recently against Chicago four games
31:48
ago, thirteen minutes put up twenty one DraftKings points against Milwaukee twenty one minutes
31:52
put up twenty five Draftings points. So like, we know that he's got
31:56
upside when he plays. Maybe with him, you know, playing really well
32:00
last night, they just want to give him more run regardless, So you
32:04
can kind of tell yourself a story there that maybe he's okay to play regardless.
32:07
But yeah, I think I'm just going to lean more to the Paul
32:09
George stuff personally, and then on the Pelican side, I think the one
32:15
guy I'm really considering a Zion. Yeah. I just like what I've been
32:19
seeing out of him lately. His role is really good, touch time,
32:22
his way up, the drives are up. He put up a huge game
32:24
against Cleveland, who is one of the better room defense in the league.
32:28
So I don't really have any doubts that he could do the same to a
32:30
Clippers team with a Zuboch down low, going up against a slightly hobbled Kawhi
32:37
Leonard in a really big game to the minutes to get up there for him.
32:38
So yeah, I think I think Zion is in a pretty good spot
32:42
here. I think that he's my favorite Pelican and I would probably just be
32:45
like a Max one of probably Max two actually of Zion Ingram CJ because CJ's
32:50
price is coming way down, but the usage has come down as well.
32:53
Trey Murphy, I'll always have him in my playpool just for the fact that
32:59
he has the you know, fifty point forty point upside off the bench if
33:02
the shot is falling, because opportunity is there for him. They want to
33:06
give him run. He doesn't need more than twenty six to twenty eight minutes
33:08
to reach value. He's done it a bunch of times lately. And if
33:14
the game does go more small, I think that, you know, maybe
33:16
they run Trey Murphy out there, moves on up to the five or something
33:20
like that, They'll probably go with Larry Nance. But I do think that
33:22
his minutes are pretty safe and the upside has clearly been there for him.
33:24
Clippers are slightly falling off in terms of defending the three point line, So
33:30
yeah, interested in him. I don't think I'm really going to get to
33:31
like the Larry Nancer Jovel stuff. I just don't. I don't really see
33:35
enough upside for them to really even consider them for GPPs personally. So yeah,
33:39
mainly just Zion, Trey Murphy and then Paul George for me. Yeah,
33:45
I don't hate the Larry Nance thing just because I think his minutes could
33:47
tick up here. Joeve all Right got ran off the court last time these
33:51
two teams played, right, played eleven minutes, Because I mean, I
33:55
just don't think they need Jovell here. So I don't hate a Larry Nance
34:00
at three to six. Again, not the greatest play I don't know if
34:02
I get tell Larry Nanton in three max stuff, but definitely would keep him
34:06
in your pool. In tournaments you could see you could see him minutes kind
34:09
of ceiling out of him here in this matchup, and at three six,
34:14
I don't think it's a terrible spot. It's a pretty solid matchup as well
34:16
for him. Zion is definitely my favorite play by far in this game.
34:20
Zion is just behind s g A and in Drives per game right now in
34:25
the entire NBA, playing at his best right now. He's eight three fits
34:30
the build in the nature of the slate as well. So I do like
34:32
Zion quite a bit. From the Clippers side, I don't have a lean
34:36
Paul George, I think has the best best quote unquote matchup out of any
34:39
of these guys, and he's eight K so I don't hate that. Obviously,
34:43
Harden misses he would benefit there the Bones Highland thing. I think he's
34:47
fine to keep in your pool, but again it's a risk. I think
34:52
he's he's gonna get minutes either way, right because he's playing good right now,
34:54
He's been playing right around twenty minutes or so lately, so I think
35:00
he's fine. But again I don't know in single entry and three max stuff
35:05
unless we get this news before lock that you can you can play a guy
35:09
at four to three right bones Highland that could be capped at about eighteen minutes,
35:14
right if Harden comes back in a big game. So not the greatest
35:19
game from a DFS perspective. Zion Williams the best play in my opinion from
35:22
that game. Let's talk about this next game here Denver, San Antonio.
35:28
We got the Jokic and Wemby show here. In terms of the total,
35:31
two twenty one total, second highest total in the slate. Obviously, these
35:35
last two games have the highest totals of the entire slate. I think they're
35:37
definitely good. Obviously that next game is very good between Atlanta and Utah.
35:42
But from this game, it is a big spread right Denver on the road
35:45
here ten point favorites on the road. In terms of injury news, not
35:50
too much injury news in this one, really, Kelvin Johnson's back. I
35:57
mean, there's really no injury news in this game. Basically, both the
35:59
squad they're fully healthy. You have the pop situation on San Antonio. Some
36:02
of those minutes are are pretty sporadic. Here is it a spin up spot
36:07
at eleven eight to get up to Jokic? What about a Wemby going up
36:09
against Jokic? Here? Do you think Wemby shows out against Jokic? Here?
36:15
Got Jamal Murray at eight one against the Spurs, Michael Porter Junior still
36:17
in that mid tier at six four. He's always got a ceiling if he's
36:21
hitting his shots. Where are you going, Denver san Antonio? Yeah,
36:25
I mean I have interest in both of Wemby and Jokic night. I think
36:29
that everybody really should. I mean, anytime you see Wemby, uh,
36:32
you know, sub five percent, sub whatever, ten percent ownership, I
36:37
think you have to have some interest because it's really there's two guys on the
36:40
slate that have that slate breaking upside, I think, and it's obviously Jokicic
36:44
and Wenby, two guys that are facing each other. Yeah, I mean,
36:46
Jokich is my top spent tonight, and it's not really close. Even
36:50
with Wemby down low. You would think that the interior defense would get much
36:53
better for San Antonio, but it just it really hasn't gotten much better.
36:57
Their three point defense, which was really struggling earlier this season, has has
37:00
improved a ton, but the interior defense has been kind of sleigh below average.
37:06
We saw what Alpren Singhun just did to Wemby last week or two weeks
37:09
ago, put up the career night. And yeah, I mean Jokic is
37:13
he's like he's the top spin on the slight. Not much just to say
37:16
I think that he's a great play tonight and I'm definitely gonna play a ton
37:19
of him. A little bit concerned about the minutes for these guys though,
37:23
because Mike Malone after the game against Miami said that they were trying to find
37:28
a place to give Jamal Murray a rest because he's been playing a ton of
37:30
mens lately. I mean, I get that, but for you to come
37:32
out and say that after the game is I don't know, that doesn't that
37:37
doesn't sit well with me. A lot of people that have money on the
37:39
on the line, I get like these coaches don't care about our fantasy line
37:44
and stuff like that, but like, like, come on, bro,
37:45
let's give us a little heads up because he didn't he didn't close last game.
37:50
They let Reggie Jackson close over him. He only played thirty one minutes,
37:52
just very hurtful. But he'd been playing a ton of mens before that,
37:54
thirty nine, thirty seven, thirty seven, forty and thirty eight in
37:58
his last five games, so it made sense to give him some rest.
38:00
But he also said the same thing about Jokic. They said they wanted to
38:04
kind of cut his minutes down a little bit. Not sure you can really
38:07
do that with the uh the Nuggets looking to lock up the first seed in
38:12
the West right now, So yeah, I just don't think that you can
38:14
really you can't rest Yokich much, so I don't think that he's really at
38:17
risk, but maybe Jamal is a little bit more at risk of just the
38:21
minutes ceiling coming down a little bit. But I like the spot for him
38:23
as well. Spurs are bottom four in pick and roll defense this season.
38:29
I think that Jamal and Jokis really have the best two man pick and roll
38:31
game in the whole league. So yeah, I think that he's a pretty
38:36
pretty solid option at eight point one. K mpj I mentioned about how the
38:40
Spurs are starting to eliminate the catch and shoots up against three point shooters,
38:44
but MPJ just I mean, he's shooting the ball really well right now,
38:47
and Price sage looks really good for him. He's he's kind of an outlier
38:52
in terms of these numbers because he's so much taller than anybody that's going to
38:55
be defending him six' ten. I mean, he has the ability to
38:59
shoot over anybody just with the jump shot. I mean he gets really high
39:01
up and he's already going to be having a height advantage over whoever's guarding him.
39:06
So I don't think that the numbers really mean much to him. You're
39:07
kind of just banking on him having a good shooting night, and I don't
39:12
think you have to worry about the minutes coming down here for defense or anything
39:15
that you don't really worried too much about anybody on the Spurs side of things.
39:20
So I think the MPJA pretty good upside here. Aaron Gordon is kind
39:23
of interesting because I do think that he's going to be guarding Victor Webman Yama
39:28
tonight, just because if I mean, team's kind of I'm sure that everybody
39:31
pays attention in the NBA to how to defend guys, but if you saw
39:36
how Dylan Brooks was defending Wenbiyama a couple of games ago did a really good
39:42
job containing him, and I think that Aaron Gordon is kind of similar in
39:45
his archetype in terms of a defender, so I think that they probably put
39:49
Aaron Gord on him. Webby been pretty turnover prone at times this season,
39:52
so you know, with the Spurs being a weaker rim defensive defensive team,
39:58
maybe we could see Aaron Gordon get near a double double, gets some stocks
40:00
in there, and then look to pay off that five point nine k price
40:04
SiGe, which I feel is pretty pretty low for him. So I don't
40:07
mind Aaron Gordon at all. And then on the Spurs side, I'm really
40:09
just considering Wemby. But I mean he's coming in super low and I don't
40:14
even have much to say from like a matchup standpoint, because on paper it's
40:16
not very good. But I mean he's got seventy point upside and that's like
40:22
that's enough for me to get some exposure to him. So yeah, I
40:24
don't I don't mind him at all at ten point five k, just coming
40:28
in super loan, So that's really wor. I'm going to this one no
40:31
excellent breakdown. I'll keep this one pretty short. Jolkic and Murray obviously great
40:37
place here. It is frightening right that they want to keep Murray's minutes down
40:40
right Malone said that, and uh, I mean at eight one, it
40:45
is a great matchup for him. It is also a big spread, right,
40:49
ten point spread, ten point favorites here the matchup gets out of hand
40:52
for sure, He's he's gonna lose minutes. Same thing with Yolk, But
40:55
Yolk still has the highest ceiling by far to anyone on the slate in my
40:59
opinion. Eleven eight tough to get up to him. With some sporadic value
41:02
on the slate, but again, he could. He has the opportunity to
41:06
score ninety to one hundred DraftKings points anytime he touches the court, right,
41:09
So I think he's fine. I think Jamal Murray's fine. Michael Porter Junior,
41:15
I think is going to be the chalkiest nugget here. I mean,
41:17
this dud's shooting almost sixty percent from the field right now. If that sustains,
41:22
I mean, that'd be great. Right, He's shooting forty eight point
41:24
eight percent from three point range right in all this month, almost sixty percent
41:29
from the field. He's a shooter. That's what he is. If he's
41:31
not hitting the shots, he's not going to keep chucking. If he's hitting
41:35
the shots, he doesn't keep chucking. And that's where his ceiling comes in
41:37
at six or four. But I agree with you. I think I prefer
41:39
Aaron Gordon a little bit here at much lower ownership. Aaron Gordon's gonna draw
41:45
the Wemby matchup, which isn't good. But from a defensive standpoint, he
41:50
could run into some follow trouble there, but his minutes are going to be
41:52
locked into pretty much every time Wenby's on the court, Aaron Gordon's gonna be
41:57
out there trying to defend him. So I think Aaron Gordon's solid play On
42:00
the Spurs side. I mean, Trey Jones is in okay play. I
42:06
think at five to nine Wemby obviously anytime he's sep ten percent owned, it's
42:10
a tough matchup for him. But again, the dude's a freak. I
42:15
mean, he can go off on anyone. Devin Vessel I don't think is
42:17
a is a terrible play, but really not a ton of interest from the
42:21
Spurs side. It's mainly Jokic or Murray. I would say I'd prefer Murray,
42:27
but again, the minutes do scare me, right the coach speak the
42:30
minutes not closing last game, that is a concern at eight to one in
42:34
the ten point spread as well. So overall decent game, but this next
42:37
game we're gonna talk about, I think is the best game on slate from
42:42
fantasy perspective. I'm sure you're gonna have a lot to talk about here.
42:45
Highest total on the slate in terms of this one. Closest spread right,
42:49
just a two point spread Atlanta favored by two on the road here to twenty
42:52
three total. Terms of injury news, quite a bit of injury new or
42:58
not quite a bit of injury news. But Jalen Johnson is questionable in this
43:00
one, which is pretty big, and then Bogdanovic is questionable as well.
43:05
On the Utah side, Clarkson remains out, Chris Dunn is out, Congu
43:08
is also out. On the Atlanta side, we do have some questionable tags,
43:13
mainly Jalen Johnson and Bogdanovich, right, two big pieces of questionable news
43:16
from Atlanta. DeAndre Hunter seems to be a pretty good player, right,
43:22
Obviously a great spot here, one of the highest owned players on the slate
43:25
at least it's looking like right now. And then the trio of Horton,
43:29
Tucker, Kante, George Colin Sexton also getting a lot of ownership. DeAndre
43:34
Hunter I think is a great play too. At five to six, I
43:36
know you'll touch on him. Pretty good game here. It's the last game
43:38
of the slate two and a half hours after that first game locks. There's
43:43
a lot of questionable news on the Atlanta side. Do you have a lean
43:45
one way or other? How you building teams? Touching on that news because
43:51
obviously there's no late swap, so you can't swap once you once you kind
43:54
of set it and forget it. At six pm, you're kind of setting
43:57
stone. So where you're going last game of the night a real yeah,
44:00
great, great game to attack for sure. I'll start with the the Hawk
44:05
stuff from an injury standpoint, because I do think that this is kind of
44:08
the best spot to attack in terms of the non late swap stuff. Bogdan
44:13
Bogdanovic downgraded to an illness tag with the questionable injury designation, So yeah,
44:20
I mean traveling into elevation, his coach said. Quinn Snyder said he's been
44:25
you know, been really sick, so I'm kind of I mean, he's
44:29
coming in. I'm seeing pretty high ownership on him right now, which makes
44:31
sense if you consider the matchup, you consider the role with no no Sadiq
44:37
Bay and no Trey Young. So yeah, I mean, this is the
44:39
spot where I'm going to be taking a extreme underweight stance and bumping up some
44:45
of these other guys, mainly Jalen Johnson and DeAndre Hunter. Jalen Johnson,
44:51
I think that he said to make his return tonight after the multi game absence
44:54
with the ankle injury. But I mean we've seen I mean even as re
45:00
and as yesterday two games ago, Devin Booker returned from the inc country immediately
45:05
step back into thirty eight minutes. So I mean, Jalen Johnson, the
45:08
Hawks team doesn'tally have a ton to play for, per se, but Jalen
45:12
Johnson has some incentives to play for because I believe he's still in the running
45:16
for Most Improved Player. I don't know where he stands in terms of the
45:22
the odds, but I know that he's in the top top two or three
45:24
in terms of the voting right now for most Improved. But I think that
45:30
he needs to play every single game the rest of the way in order to
45:34
be eligible to win most proved Players. So yeah, I'm thinking that he's
45:38
making his return tonight. The team is just so thin with their their forward
45:43
positions that I mean front court in general, with no Akongu, with no
45:47
Sadiq Bay. So yeah, I mean, I think that he kind of
45:50
subs into a pretty pretty sizable workload right away. And yeah, I mean
45:54
I'm gonna I'm gonna take the stance that he's in. I love targeting Jalen
45:59
Johnson in these matchups where the other team plays fast paced, the other team
46:02
is terrible in transition, and that's exactly what you have here. Jazz are
46:06
dead last and transition defense this season. So these are the type of matchups
46:09
that I want to fire up a Jayalen Johnson type player. So I'll definitely
46:13
have some of him. The john S Murray to me is I would say,
46:16
like matchup wise and price wise, probably the top play on the slate.
46:21
Jokich's top spend just because he's got the highest upside. But I mean
46:23
the role for Dejonte obviously is amazing. With no Trey Young, He's averaging
46:29
almost fifty DK points in all the games without Trey Young the season, around
46:32
thirty percent usage rate, thirty four percent assist percentage. Jazz are dead last
46:37
versus point guards in terms of DVP, So I mean, he's got everything
46:40
going for him here. So yeah, he's definitely gonna be a core play
46:44
for me tonight, and I'm gonna look to get over the field on him
46:46
in my MM stuff. Some other guys on the Atlanta side things. I
46:52
think that like Capella is pretty interesting because if Bogdan is out, maybe he
46:57
sees a slight uptick in the usage, slight uptick in minutes just with them
47:00
being thin. But I mean the matchup, like, I don't know,
47:04
it's neutral. Jazz are pretty solid with the rim protection, so I don't
47:07
only have a strong lean on Capella per se, But I mean, if
47:10
you you get like twenty six, twenty eight out of Capella, he could
47:14
definitely pay off the tag. But yeah, I mean I like DeAndre Hunter,
47:17
somebody that you mentioned earlier when we were talking about this, But yeah,
47:21
I think that he's another really strong option. I'm kind of considering a
47:24
max one of Hunter Jalen Johnson because if Jalen Johnson were'll be out then I
47:31
think Hunter is gonna benefit a ton. I'm already gonna be taking an underweight
47:35
standsun bogged on, So I'm gonna bump up Hunter and Jalen in those runs.
47:38
But I'm probably gonna be a max one of those those three guys altogether,
47:43
just because I think that just from like a leverage standpoint, I think
47:45
I want to like go all in on one. So if one of those
47:49
guys misses, I think the other one benefits. I don't really want to
47:51
have too many of them because I'll already have a ton of Dejonte. And
47:55
then like I guess, Brudo Fernando at four point three k another value to
47:59
concent just because they are splitting splitting the center minutes down the middle. But
48:02
like, I'm not looking to get anywhere below that. I'm not looking to
48:06
get to the Vic Krazy's or Garrison Matthews handwhich's boy Wes Matthews, Trentforrest,
48:12
Like no thank you in any of these guys. And then the jazz side
48:15
of things, yeah, they're gonna be very offense, and I especially at
48:17
the guard position. No Jordan Clarkson, no Chris Dunn and then obviously no
48:21
Lori Markinen. So yeah, I mean, con Sexton and Canty George looked
48:25
really really good tonight. The Hawks defense surprisingly been much better lately their top
48:30
five since Trey Young has missed, which makes sense. I mean, you
48:36
think about it. Trey Young, he likes to play really fast paced.
48:38
He's just a turnstyle on defense. Probably one of the worst defenders in the
48:42
league, I would say, and Dejonte I always thought was a really really
48:45
good defender. You add in some of these other lengthy guys like Gantree Hunter,
48:50
like the VIC Crazy's pretty solid defender, So makes sense why they've gotten
48:53
better. But the opportunity looks like it's gonna be very very strong for these
48:57
guys, County and Colin Sexton. I could see thirty five to thirty eight
49:00
minutes from both these guys. Maybe even County touches forty. He's done it
49:04
a couple times in the past couple of weeks. But yeah, I mean
49:07
his County George in particular, has had a really really strong role, leading
49:12
the team in touch time this season. The pick and roll stuff have been
49:15
really good for him. Atlanta pretty good defending the pick and roll. But
49:20
I mean I don't know. I just think that the role is going to
49:22
be so strong for him that I'm willing to overlook that kind of same.
49:24
The matchup seems a little bit better for Conseext because he's much more capable of
49:30
getting downhill and attacking the rim, and Atlanta had been a pretty weak rim
49:32
defense all season long, so I think that he's really good here. Put
49:36
up almost forty DK points the first time these teams faced off, so he
49:38
looks really strong. I'm kind of off John Collins. I think that the
49:42
return of Walker Kesler has definitely hurt his upside. I would be okay again
49:46
to Walker Kesler because the Hawks are going to be probably running out forty eight
49:51
true center minutes tonight, so you're gonna need Walkerkesser out there. He put
49:53
up a really good game last time the team faced off as well. And
49:58
then yeah, I want to hear your take on Teach because I'm a little
50:00
bit skeptical on how many minutes they're giving him. And I think that anytime
50:06
you get THT sixty plus seventy plus percent ownership, it's worth an underweight stance
50:10
or even a fade, depending on the tournaments you're in just because there's so
50:15
many ways that it could go wrong. They're they're trying to get sensible,
50:17
more run. They have talked of Johnny Joosying, They've talked up Michael Potter,
50:22
Like, I think there's some ways that it could go sideways for for
50:25
tch T tonight, But interested to hear your take on that. Yeah,
50:30
I don't like THHD here tonight, especially at that ownership. I mean,
50:36
I love Colin Sexton. Here at Colin Sexton I think is an amazing play.
50:38
I love Dejenttey Murray, I love DeAndre Hunter. Those three guys are
50:42
core plays for me definitely here tonight. I think Kant George is a great
50:45
play. Bogdanovic, I'm gonna be way underweight on. I don't think if
50:50
he doesn't play that's that's great. But he is projecting to be pretty high
50:53
on right now, Bogdanovic, if he doesn't miss. Obviously, Jalen Johnson
50:57
gets boost, right, Murray gets a boost, Hunter gets a boost.
51:01
But outside of that, I mean, it's pretty much to Jentay Murray,
51:04
DeAndre Hunter for me in this game. Collin Sexton, County George. I
51:07
know that's kind of the chalky route to go. Those are the best plays,
51:09
but again, I think there's different ways to get There's ways to get
51:14
unique. Avoiding the Larry Nances or the Jonathan Isaacs right in that value center
51:19
range, I think is one way to get different with that kind of roster
51:22
build. I don't know if I'm gonna get I don't think I'm gonna get
51:25
to any of these secondary pieces here like the Fernandos in those other guys.
51:30
It's pretty much those four main guys not going to get to any of these
51:32
creashies or anything like that. So it's the four big dogs for me in
51:37
this game. Is kind of how I'm approaching it. Taylor Hart Tucker definitely
51:39
underweight on that three nine I'm gonna try and build a more balanced team that
51:45
kind of avoids that. With my spend being de Jentay Murray. You can
51:47
build a lot of nice teams with the Jentay Murray at nine to five and
51:51
then avoid a lot of that three K range of the Jonathan Isaacs, the
51:55
Taylor Horton, Tuckers, did Larry Nances that are gonna be all three of
52:00
those guys are going to be very highly owned in terms of projections in terms
52:02
of owner in terms of optimizers, so try to avoid those three and building
52:07
a different route to that is kind of the route that I'm taking. Maybe
52:10
playing guys like Terry Rozier and some of that that I think are under priced
52:15
for the matchup, for the role and the spot tonight is kind of how
52:17
I'm going. But great game here. Definitely be cognitant of when you're building
52:22
your teams on how to approach it. In terms of injury news, I
52:25
think Reo broke it down great. And if you want to see what Rio

52:37
core plays. My core plays already up. I just finished up my core
52:39
play while we were on the show here talking through it seems like a pretty
52:43
solid road. Obviously, there's not a lot of news that we're gonna probably
52:46
get before lock here, no late swaps, so feeling pretty confident. Obviously
52:51
any changes will be updated in yellow, but any final closing remarks here real
52:57
for the people before we getting out of here and head to the weekend.
53:00
No, I hope that everybody has a good weekend. Saw a lot of
53:04
questions in chat. We're not really able to get to them tonight, just
53:07
taking a little bit of time talking about the non light swap stuff. But
53:13
yeah, so, I mean, I'm pretty excited about this one, and
53:15
I got a couple of shots in the qualifier to get myself a live final
53:19
seat before the tournament fills up, So hopefully I can get that and get
53:23
