NBA DFS Process | October 28, 2026 | DraftKings & FanDuel Picks, Plays & Slate Breakdown · Daily Fantasy Sports by Ship It Nation

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: All systems go. Clear for liftoff.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: What's going on, everybody? Happy Wednesday. Back with my man
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Rio talking some hoops. Nine games on DraftKings, 12 games
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: on FanDuel. FanDuel is including the 9 p.m., 9.30, and 10.30
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Eastern games. Whereas DraftKings isn't, we'll be talking DraftKings. As always, Rio,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: no time to waste. Throw it over to you. How
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: you doing today?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Doing good.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Would have been doing a lot better if either one
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: of us came through with the win last night because
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: we had two.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: We had the same lineup.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Obviously, we didn't build them together, but two of the
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: same lineups in the contest last night. We're talking through
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: some swaps, and both of us made the wrong decision. But, yeah,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: you never know how it's going to go. Robert Williams
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: was huge last night for them. I went with Sandro
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and Sexton. It was Zaire and Robert Williams. I think
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: you had Zaire and Tybill.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Is that what it was?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: No, I had freaking Scoot and Tybill, two of the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: worst guys you could have. That's just the way she
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: goes sometimes. It is the way she goes. At the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: end of the day, or at the 10 p.m. Eastern,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: or 11 Eastern, I guess it was, you had the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: best one because yours was unduped. I was duped with
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: one other. The winner was duped with one other. You
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: were not. So, yeah, 100K versus 65K is a world
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: of a difference. Obviously, when it's all said and done, though, results-oriented-wise,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: congrats to the Robert Williams squad. Yeah, I was cheering
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: for overtime. Because I saw that team early on. Obviously,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you never know in the NBA streets. But I knew
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: getting OT and that boss in that game could do wonders. And,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: you know, we talked about that on that four-game show yesterday.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: But nobody cares, as Tampa says. Nobody cares. Work harder.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: People watching do not care. Hey, half of them probably
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: rooting against us. That's all right. We got to say
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: hi to some people in chat. Sean, Michael, Maids, Jordan,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I am Rice. M. Bellman, Matt Bellman, Josh, great to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: see all of you. Hope everybody out there is doing well.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you for the hat. Let's go, crew. What a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: game yesterday. Shout out to Jake. I know he's going
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: to be in here pretty soon, but what a baseball game.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Pat Murphy, the best manager in baseball. Hey, everyone's human.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I think he could not have done a worse job
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: managing pitching yesterday, but that's a story for a different day.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Anything you want to say, Rio, broad slate or anything? It's, again,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: nine games, everything locks within one hour, but we have
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: some pretty exciting news. So just any initial thoughts on
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: this slate you want to mention before we talk some
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: big news?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing too crazy. Big slates.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: There's a ton of injuries, probably more than we've ever
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: had this early in the season. I think there was
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: something like 15% of the NBA is either questionable or
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: out tonight. So just really a ton of big injuries
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: at top that are going to create ton of value
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: tonight so really not a slate where you want to
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: get too cute with values um but yeah with that
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: being said before we jump in we do have a
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: couple things we want to talk through if you want
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to go to the new tool that we added.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Absolutely so you go to sports you go to nba
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and you click on the slate station go all the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: way down and you see this new thing called a
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: usage bump right here so i will be clicking buttons
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: when you explain our new tool.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so the new tool, Usage Bump, essentially what it
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: is at this point is mainly a predictive tool that's
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: going to help us understand which injuries are the most
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: impactful in terms of how it affects teammates from a
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: minutes usage and fantasy.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Scoring output standpoint.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: If you want to go over to the News tab
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: real quick, this is a feed that's going to be
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: automatically updating as news comes in throughout the day. We
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: have it connected to an API that's up to date.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: So You see 224. I don't know who this guy is,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: but he's out. Doesn't really change much, but this is
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: going to update every single piece of news that goes
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: on throughout the day, and it'll just give you kind
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: of a brief overview of who we expect to see
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: the most minutes increase in those scenarios. And then if
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: you want to go over to the What If tab,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I think this is probably where people will find the
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: most use. I think that it makes the most sense
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: to probably just go over to that Pacers game because
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: that probably has the biggest injury news on the DraftKings
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: main slate. But you see here, we already have Tyrus
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Halliburton is out. And then if you can go up
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: top and click that Andrew Nembhard name, because he's questionable,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you'll get a brief idea of which guys.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Are going to see the biggest usage bumps.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: You see Quinton Jackson, the main guy that is going
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: to see a really big projection and minutes usage increase. Now,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: this is not meant to be something that you should
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: really be taking.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: As true numbers.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: This is very predictive as we are early on the season.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: We don't have a ton of data to work with
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: as of yet. So we're just kind of getting a
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: brief idea and of what we're expecting to change. But
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: this is mainly just to make sure that people are.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: On top of news.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: If they're using this tool, that way you don't have
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: to be reactive. When we see the news, you can
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: be proactive and just kind of be prepared for it
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: as it comes in. And then you have, lastly, we
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: have the bumps tab, which will, it's similar to the
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: news tab, but it's going to show you which guys
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: see the biggest increase in, um, in their, uh, points
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: about and their value. You can actually take off that
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Pacers game. We could see everybody from top to bottom,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: just kind of giving you a, even more of an
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: overview of who is going to have the biggest, uh,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: value increase when the injury news does hit that way.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really, really great job by you, by our team
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes, NBA, so many moving parts and a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: lot of people get very overwhelmed on news that hits
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: with Q tags. You can see just going to, um,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the what if, like this little questionable tag right here.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: So when we go to the Pacers, you can see
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: like right next to Nembhard, this little tab right here,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: this little orange dot, Obi Toppin, Aaron Neesmith. So it
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: makes it very easy. And again, NBA, it's a chaotic
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: sport for sure. And some people, when news is out,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: they just wait for projections to refresh and they don't
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: have any idea and they just blindly trust it. This
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: bumps tab is, Definitely shows who gets the biggest bums.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: You can plan ahead. You can say, all right, I
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: don't think Nembhard is going to play today. What does
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it look like if he doesn't play? Boom. Then you
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: could even change projections if you would like to new projections,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: assuming he's out and then make changes if he is in.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: So really, really big in the NBA street. Shout out
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to the team behind the scenes. A huge piece of
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: our product over here at Chippenation. Again, always trying to
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: get better and improve. And I think this is a
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: big improvement over here. What's up, Courage? We appreciate you.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Shout out to the man Bonnets. $ 25 single entry takedown
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: yesterday with the stone and hand building. Things you love
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: to see. We haven't even showed off the stone, really.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Everyone knows we have the stone for all sports here.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's a little easier to screen share Saberson
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: for me and click through things and filter teams. But
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the stone, big piece of our product. If it loads,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: as you can see, everything you need. how many minutes,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: fantasy points per minute, assists per game, rebounds per game,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: draft kings, and fan duel projections, ceiling projections, ownership, the spreads,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the totals, all of that good stuff. So shout out
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to you for taking it down. One other housekeeping thing
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: before we do go game by game, if you click
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: on the articles section, this is something that we have
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: been doing that we started probably about a month ago,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and it is very important for everything. I mean, it's free,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: so anyone that wants to to look at anything, whether
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: it's ownership, leverage at NBA, NHL, lineup building, all of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that good stuff. We have a new one coming up.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to find it right here. NBA late swap,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: how to use news to your advantage. Shout out to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: one of our members that use late swap. And it
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: was Kyle Bush. I believe it was. And he went from,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I believe $ 900 or something to 2,500. I could be
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: mistaken real and what it was, but it was a
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: late swap. That was the key to him shipping a slate. And,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: We just talked about how late swap is important for
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: NBA with injury news and not even just injury news.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Some people don't really understand when to use it. Again,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: even if there's no injury news, whether it's yesterday, like
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Rio and I having to decide, okay, we saw six people.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: You're able to go to our train. We saw six
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: people at the same lineup, guessing where the people were
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: going to go with that 2v2 based on projected score,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: based on ownership and just tendencies. Like I said, Rio
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: had a huge, huge edge. His one wasn't duped. He wins.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: He has a hundred K. Mine was duped once. If
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I win, I only get 65 K only, but that's
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: a huge difference when you're talking like one or two
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: projection points there. So yeah, we have a lot of
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: articles again, shout out to the team behind the scenes,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: but it's not just NBA late swap. You can click
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: on the sides though, common questions and make it even
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: easier there. All right. Yeah. And if you want to
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: get over to ship a nation, of course, ship a nation.com,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: see plans and pricing. You guys know the drill by now.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: It cheaper, As you're with us longer, 20% you save
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: for annual for the starter and the core, 10%. For
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the ultimates, we also do have single sport options as well,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: single sport, NBA. $ 17 a month if you're with us
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: for the annual just to add Sabreson. Less than a
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: dollar a day, $ 25 a month only. We'd love to
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: have you at the Nation. All right, let's get on
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: over to the Our partner Optimizer at SaberSim, and we
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: are going to go to the first game of the
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: night at 7 p.m. Eastern. Again, all nine games lock
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: within a one-hour window today, which makes it very easy
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: for late swap and just doing whatever you want to
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: do in life. Yeah, first game of the night. We have, ooh,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: that's not the wrong page for DraftKings Sportsbook. Yeah, Detroit
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: and the Charlotte Hornets, Pistons seven-and-a-half-point favorites, 212-and-a-half total, the
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: lowest on the slate, very low. Injuries on the Detroit side,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Joe's out, Durant's still out, nothing new there. On
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: the Charlotte side, Conn Knipple's still out, Kobe White, Grant Williams.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Nothing crazy for the injury department, sorting by ownership in
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: this game. Dennis Schroeder, the only one looking to get
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: double-digit ownership. I will say, you can play Brandon Miller.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Not the easiest matchup by any means, but the dude
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: absolutely is chucking right now with the injuries they have.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Is that something you're interested in? Any pieces in this game?
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely a little bit interested there.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: This is a back-to-back for Detroit coming off their first
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: loss of the season, so Wouldn't be surprised if we
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: get a late injury tag on. I mean, I think
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Asar is probably the most likely to get downgraded if
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: somebody were to miss. I think everybody else is pretty
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: much good to go. But that would definitely benefit a
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: guy like Brandon Miller. I think it will be Asar
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: on Miller here. And surprisingly, Hornets are 3-1 this season.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: They've had pretty solid defense, really good rebounding. But it's
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: a little bit of smoke and mirrors because they're offensively
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: not playing that well and their opponents haven't been that great.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: But yeah, the way to attack the Pistons is going
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: to be with their three-point defense. They've been a pretty
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: decent big funnel there. Rebounding also has taken a little
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: bit of a hit, but no during the season. So
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: really three guys, I guess four guys I'm considering just
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: because the projection does look pretty good on Schroeder, although
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: I think I'm probably going to end up going elsewhere
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: with value tonight than Dennis Schroeder. But yeah, Brandon Miller,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I think as a guy, you can definitely look at
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: single-digit ownership, just a massive usage role, taking a ton
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: of shots. So even if the efficiency isn't there, the
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: volume isn't, Could definitely get him there. I think Nas
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: is in a pretty good spot here. Maybe is getting
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: to the point where he's a little bit too priced up.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: What does he know?
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: $ 7, 200. So that feels about right. Or if anything, maybe
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: a little bit too expensive. I'm okay getting away from Schroeder,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: like I said. He has a solid role. But I
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: just don't really think that he's going to be the
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: guy that really breaks the slate open on a nine-gamer.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: And then I think Diabate is a decent pivot off
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: some of these centers in this pivot range or if
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: anything just a guy that's kind of getting overlooked in
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: general just because if we look at some of.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: The games that were close he's playing.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: 34 35 minutes and i see around the industry mostly
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: projected in like the upper 20s so if anything there's
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: a pretty big difference in where he should be projected
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: versus where he is and like i mentioned the piston's
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: not as great as a rebounding team that's kind of
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: where he gets his fantasy points going so i think
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: that he's a decent option here tonight at 5.5k at
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: low ownership Pissing side of things, I think it's kind
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: of just Paul Reed or bust. Cade is going to
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: have to compete with a lot of really high upside
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: options on the slate. The bigger the game gets, the
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: more you add in guys like Giannis and Jokic. It
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: just makes it a little bit tougher for me to
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: see Cade being the guy that you need to spend
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: up for. But Paul Reed, our guy Matt Bellman mentioned
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: it on the slate plan. This is probably the last
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: time we get him sub 6K, and I definitely would agree.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: When he's starting, he's probably a 6,800, 7K player or so.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: even in a tough matchup versus a really good rebounding team,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: I think you have to have some level of interest
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: on a guy like Paul Reed, but just keep an
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: eye on the SR news. Cause there's a chance that
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: he does get downgraded. That would open up some value
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: on guys like Dennis Jenkins to a lesser degree, Dr.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Robinson and Kevin Herter.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I got nothing to add. I think this game
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: is pretty bad. Paul Reed though, for sure. 5% holds true.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do that 25 DK points or something
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: in the first quarter yesterday, someone that's been around, um,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: If you've been playing NBA DFS for a while, point-per-minute monster.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Anytime he's had somewhat of a solid role, yeah, someone
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: that I've played a bunch. Next game on the slate,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a very important one. Oh, I did also want to
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: mention Luka was ruled out, and that matters for the
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: FanDuel streets. So we do have core plays for FanDuel,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: cash for FanDuel as well, projections, ownership, of course. And
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: you can go to the What If page again and
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: check out what that does. Everything will be updated, though, there.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: But that is important news on the FanDuel slate. Philadelphia
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: 76ers and Indiana Pacers. The Sixers seven at point favorites,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: two 34 and a half total in this one on
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: the Philly side, Jabari Walker's out on the Indiana side. Yeah.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: You mentioned it. No Zubac, no Halliburton stinks for Halliburton.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Going to miss a little time with the hamstring. And
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: then Andrew Nembhardt is questionable. We don't have to, I mean,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: you can talk through like what, Hey, you can go
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: to the slate station and check out the bumps, see
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: what the, if Nembhard's out does. But you can talk
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: about it, but you don't have to guess because this
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: game is the first one on the slate at 7 Eastern,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: so we will get that news. But, yeah, definitely a game,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: especially if Nembhard does miss, that you are going to
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: be able to get some value on the Pacers' side.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's probably easier just to talk through
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: as if he were to be in because I think
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: there's probably a more likely chance that that happens. And
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: then at that point, like if he's out, you just–
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: following projections because right now we have him in so
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I think it's just safer to talk through it that
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: way but yeah start with the Philly side of things
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: their defense has been somewhat of a surprise this year
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I didn't expect.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Them to be this good but Embiid looks good.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Uh LeBron James is guarding one through five so he's
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: just looked really really good this year and they both
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: seems are playing pretty fast on the year um Pacers.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Gone back to being a rim funnel their.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Seventh fastest paced team in the league the I believe
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: the Philly is like top four or something like that.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Or they're top six, excuse me. But they were one
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: of the fastest teams in the preseason.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: So this game definitely has a lot of appeal to me.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: It's just a little bit tougher for these Sixers guys.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: I think that they're all appropriately priced and the roles
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: are pretty spread out from a usage standpoint. All four
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: of their main starters, not counting BJ Edgecombe, are in
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: that 24 to 28 percent usage range. But I feel
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: like most nights, you're probably getting a pretty solid score
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: from one of these guys, and this is a very,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: very good matchup for them. If I had to rank
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: how I would be prioritizing these guys, it's for sure
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Embiid and Maxi 1 and 2. I just think that
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: the upside kind of is in these guys' hands more
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: so than not. Embiid in particular I think looks really good.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Just Jay Huff, good shot blocker but not a great defender,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: and Embiid has cooked him in the past. Looking at
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: some of the head-to-head numbers, he's averaging like over 40
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: points per 75 defensively. And behind Jay Huff, it's going
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: to be small ball center. So Embiid could really, really
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: cook in a big way here. I'm really liking him
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: as a low-ish on center option tonight. I would have
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: LeBron ahead of Jalen Brown, too. Jalen Brown's just been
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: really inefficient this year. LeBron provides stats across all three categories.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I think that he's, at.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: The very least, has a very solid four and then
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of room for upside as well. Indy side
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: of things, Nembhard becomes probably the premier value play on
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the slate. assuming that he does play. We've seen dating
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: back the past couple of years, just how the role
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: increases in a big way for him when Halliburton's out.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: And I would expect that to continue here. Not really
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: too worried about the matchup against Vijay Echcombe. I imagine
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: that would be the guy that's going to be guarding him.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: But I also think Pascal Siakam at, you know, modest
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: ownership and a pretty decent position looks good to me.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: It's going to be updated.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think that what Sabre has is correct yet, obviously,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: because Nembhard's going to be more than 1% owned. but
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: yeah Siakam I think looks pretty good he's started off
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: the year really hot and as good as the Sixers
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: have been not sure I fully believe that they're going
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: to be that good of a defense he probably will
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: see Jalen Brown on defense here but I just think
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: that he's going to be asked to do a lot
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: more ball handling than we're used to seeing and you've
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: seen an uptick in rebounding with Zubac sidelined so I
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: think that he could be in a pretty decent spot
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: here generally a guy I'm not too excited to play
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: and I think the price is kind of creeping up
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: to the point where I don't love playing him but
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I think that he's definitely in play tonight. Outside of that,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, you could consider Jay Huff as a value play.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: I know that Clint Capello was kind of a big
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: talking point in our Discord and just overall tonight is
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: going to be maybe a deciding factor. I'm not sure
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: if he's even going to be starting, but Jay Huff
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: is one of those guys in that 3K range as
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: a center that's going to be starting.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: And obviously he missed in a really.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Bad way last time out, going to be going up
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: against Embiid, who's going to be drawing a ton of
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: fouls and a double-digit free throw attempt last game. So
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: I think that ownership is going to be really low
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: on Huff, and we've seen him put up some big
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: games in the past. So I'd be willing to go
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: away from the field, assuming that the ownership is going
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: to be low on him.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: As for the rest of these guys, just got to
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: wait for the Nembhard news.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I think Quinton Jackson is a guy that we could
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: look to play 27 minutes off the bench last game.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: That Nembhard miss, and now with Halliburton out, I'd probably
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: expect that to be around the same. Kyle Burns is
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: a much higher usage guy than Nembhard as well, so
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: the role could be a little bit better for Quinton Jackson.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like Nembhard is going to be, what, 30%, 35%,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: something like that. It's definitely not going to be 1%.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Siakam's not going to be 2%. He might be, I
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: don't know, he's not going to be, I don't think, too,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: too high on. If Nembhard misses, he definitely is going
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: to get a big bump there, but maybe 15%. I
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: definitely am in on Siakam. I'm definitely in on Nembhard's
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: going to be chalk. Embiid, though, is my favorite one
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: at ownership in this. So many people want to go
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: spend down center today or mid-tier. I don't think many
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: are going to spend up. And, yeah, Embiid, Jay Huff
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: is not someone I'm worried about at all, and you
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: have the numbers to back it up with their individual matchup. Maxie, man,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: it's a big price at $ 8, 700. I'm fine with it, though.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I think I do prefer LeBron for $ 1, 300 less if
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: having to choose there. Would you make a rule, Max,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: one of these Philly guys? It's not big enough.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: I think it's just a max two overall, not really
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: getting into the max ones of LeBron and Max or
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: anything like that. I think that there's plenty of nights
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: where two guys.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Will go off.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Makes some sense. Jake, I already gave you some flowers.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: uh at the beginning he told you brewers weren't sweet
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: but i will say not sure you can say told
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: you all this start that was um it was a
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: great game there's no doubt about that and again i
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: already was chirping pat murphy very interesting pitching decisions later
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: in that game uber a revenge any uh I mean,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: especially if Nembhard's out, you can definitely talk me into
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: some Kelly Oubre. I always like playing Kelly because he
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: can chuck, but it's not the same Kelly Oubre as... Man,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Oubre was on teams where there was a lot of
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: injuries around him that boosted his minutes throughout times of
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: the year where he really flourished. Any Kelly Oubre interest?
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, based off the tool, if you took
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Nembhard out, he's looking like a 6x value tonight, so
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: definitely would be considering him at.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: If he's in.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: No, if Nembhard is out.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if Nembhard's out, for sure. If Nembhard's in, though,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: would you have any interest?
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Probably not.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I think that there's some really solid shooting guard, small
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: forward options that are going to be just projecting much
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: better values.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. Definitely a good game environment to target
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: on the slate, though. Have to monitor. Nembhard news, we
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: will get it before lock. But yeah, just don't build
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: your NBA teams now and go about your day, of course.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Appreciate everyone hanging out. I hope everyone's having a great day.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: All we ask is the like button and subscribe button.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: It helps us out a ton. Next game on the slate,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: we are talking the Cleveland Cavaliers who are 10 and
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: a half point favorites over the Washington Wizards. 240 and
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: a half, which I believe is second biggest, tied for
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: the second highest total. On the slate, on the Washington side,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: no Justin Champagny. On the Cavs side, there is no
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: injury news to talk about. Yeah, I mean, Cleveland's implied
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: for 123 points. The Wizards do not play any defense.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell, like give me Mitchell personally over Maxie in
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: a vacuum. Again, $ 8, 700 is pretty expensive, though, compared to
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: two great players. Harden, I don't know. It's really tough
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: for me. It seems like he's taking a little more
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: of a backseat. I prefer Mobley. I prefer Donovan Mitchell. And, yeah,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Peyton Watson right at 5K I think was a great
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: signing for the Cavs. If they want to do anything
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs or deep this year, Peyton Watson's going
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: to be a big part. Wizard side's getting no love, though,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: and I don't mind. I never mind playing Anthony Davis,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: especially when you're looking at sub Not the easiest matchup
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: against Mobley, but, hey, when he's healthy, if he's playing
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: 34-plus minutes, I have interest in AD. I guess, is
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: he going to play 34-plus minutes in a close game?
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Because Saberson has him at 31.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: I would think so, yeah. I mean, they're running up
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: the minutes on these starters a lot. The one thing
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: that we do have to note is that DeBansa, I'm
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: not sure if you said that, but he will be
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: making his debut tonight.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I think so, yeah.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll be on a minutes limit, and... I'm not
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: sure if he's going to start. We'll obviously have that news.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think it really changes much. Maybe a little
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: bit because if he comes off the bench, that's probably
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: better for AD and Trey Young just because he is
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: a decently high usage guy. Preseason had about a 24%
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: usage rate. But he's mainly going to be taking away
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: minutes from guys like Keyshawn George and Kula Bali.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I think mainly Kula Bali.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: But these guys are all just going to get pushed
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: down a little bit more as you try to acclimate
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: the number one overall pick in.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, probably expecting low minutes for him.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: But yeah, in a close game, I mean, this is
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: the second or third highest over-under on the slate, I believe.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: So definitely could get into it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: I think we're now starting to get to the point
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: where these prices are asking for a lot more. AD
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: did have a 60-something pointer in game one.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: But we even saw on Monday night when it was.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: A decently big slate, you had like five or six
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: guys go for 60. And Giannis had a great game,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: and I don't even think that he was needed.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: So I could see something there. Like that happened tonight.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: We're going to get some really big scores across a
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: lot of these games.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: So I'm a little bit lower on the wizard stuff.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Trey has been really consistent, basically 45 DK points in
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: every game this year, double digit assist. So I think
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: he's OK. Like it is a really good matchup. Cavs
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: are pretty weak at their point of attack defense. So
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: I think that he's fine, but nobody's really a standout
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: player in Washington. I think the Cleveland side is a
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: little bit better, and it's Mobley and Mitchell for me.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. Just James Harden, really bad usage
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: so far to start the season. Looks old.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: Jared Allen's not playing full minutes yet. Mitchell looks really good.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: The usage is down a little bit versus last year,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: so I'd like to see that come up a little
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: bit more, but not too worried about this matchup here
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: against Keyshawn George, especially if Koulibaly is off the bench.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I think that's better for Spida.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Mobley, I don't know.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: It's just a little bit tougher to get Really high
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: upside games from him. Going to be going against AD
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and SAR.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Much better frontcourt than they've been facing the last couple
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: years against Washington. But I agree with you on Peyton Watson.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: 5K feels a little bit too cheap for him. Really,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: really solid signing in the offseason. And then one guy
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: on the Cavs that did make the slate plan I
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: saw was Malik Thomas, the rookie. He was a standout
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: in the summer and looked really good last game. I
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: think it might be a little bit too thin to
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: go there just because you're not getting a ton of minutes,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: but Maybe on a smaller slate, but I definitely want
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: to shout out to him now because Matt was pretty.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Hyped on him.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Not only the slate station, he also doubled down adding
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the comment section as well. So Matt is a Cleveland guy.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: He lives there. That's his team. Hey, if you want
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: to take a shot on a 0.1% Moody Thomas, that
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: can be you. Yeah, I loved seeing his own you
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: do that. Yeah, just Donovan Mitchell, you can't always be
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: a baby or get the ball when you want the ball.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Sometimes the best play is taking to yourself when you
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: have a mismatch, and I loved to see him talk
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: about that. Yeah, Watson, Mobley, Donovan Mitchell, I think all
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: three are good. I'd like Anthony Davis a little more
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: than you. You like Trey Young a little more than me,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: but it still feels a little difficult on the Wizards'
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: side because, yeah, I mean, if Trey's done solid every
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: single game, he could have five acts, he could have 45,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: and you still probably don't need it. Same thing, AD
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: probably needs 60-plus in this matchup, which he has only
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: done on night one. Let's get to the next game
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: on the slate. Very good game when it comes to DFS.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Obviously is coming with ownership, though. Miami Heat taking on
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: the Hawks. Hawks two and a half point favorites. This
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: was the largest total on the slate. Looking at injuries
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: in this one, nothing to note on the Miami side.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: On the Atlanta side, the same can be said. Yes,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: just sorting by ownership. I don't, I guess, necessarily believe
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: this is how ownership is going to be. I think
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Giannis will be the highest owned player in this game.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: 10-2 is a joke. I think he should be at
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: least 11-2. Yeah, he burned me night one when I was, like,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: almost all in. But if you play him every day since,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: you are, I guess, I mean, you're happy, you're sad,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: you're happy, you're sad, whatever it may be. But 10-2
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: is just way too cheap and a good matchup. And
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: what should be a competitive game where he plays upper
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: 30s minutes, they definitely are going to try and get
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: out there and get their win. But, yeah, looking at
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: plenty of other options, Bobby Portis had a solid game,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: not showing to have too much ownership. Wiggins is still
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: sub 5K. Pelley Larson, There is some value on that
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: side if you want. Atlanta side, I mean, if C.J.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: is 35%, like I get it, but it's a nine-game slate.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I think I could find maybe other places to go.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I'll let you talk about that, though, because obviously on
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: paper he's going to grade out very well. I think
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: not 6,400 as a pivot would be a little interesting myself.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: But a game that's getting quite a bit of ownership,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: what do you think?
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's definitely right that this game is
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: getting a lot of ownership. I think if there was
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: a game that I came into with my lineups with
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: like two to four players, then it would be this
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: one because I'm seeing a lot of really good matchups
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: across the board. Miami and Atlanta both play extremely fast
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: this season. And we kind of know, I don't, I mean,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I've always hammered this home with Miami, just giving up
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: a ton of three point volume this year. Atlanta is
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: a really good three point offense as well. Atlanta themselves
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: are allowing a lot of three pointers as well, but
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: don't think that, He really has the guys that can
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: take advantage of that. The Hawks just gave up a
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: ton of points and a ton of big stat lines
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: to the Rockets just last game. They haven't really been
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: giving up a ton of volume at the rim this season,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: but when teams are getting to the rim, they are
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: allowing over 78% field goal percentage on rim attempts this year.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: So they're just not able to stop anybody.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: It makes sense when you've got an undersized center like
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: a Congo down low and nobody really else. It's like
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: a lockdown defender at the rim. So definitely brings Giannis
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: firmly into play. Probably my favorite stand-up, I agree with you.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: He should be 11.2K.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: I think that they're just going to have to run
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: up the minutes a ton on these Heat guys because
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: their bench is really weak. Like, I don't even know
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: if they can play Klay Thompson or Tim Harvey Jr.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: as much as they have been. Like, Jovic has been
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: a guy that they don't really like anymore. Drew Smith,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: you know, returning from the injury, hasn't.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Looked as good.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: So I could see their top seven guys playing a
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: ton of minutes tonight. I wouldn't even be surprised to
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: play Larson tonight. is in the starting lineup. I mean,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Clay has been so bad, just not the same defender
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: that he was. Still okay as a three-point shooter, but
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: I just think that you get more juice with Clay
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Larson there. I'm not going to go to Bam. Just
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: the role is disgusting for him. I actually think if
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: you're looking for a pivot at a point guard, Davion
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Mitchell off of CJ McCollum looks pretty good. He's quietly
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: had a really solid season this year at a double-double,
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I believe night one.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: They're going to play fast. He's going to play a
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: ton of minutes here. They're going to need his defense.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: So not normally a guy that we look to for upside,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: but I think that he's in play tonight.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: I won't play any Wiggins.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Just think he's dust now. I'd rather play Portis, and
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: I'd much rather play Larson. I think that he's actually
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: a really strong value play tonight at 4.3K. Just think
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: that he's a guy that they need to lean onto
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: a lot more. The role has been great offensively, but
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: 34 and 36 minutes at that price tag, I mean,
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: it doesn't really get much better unless we get like
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Oubre starting. with Nem hard out, then I would probably
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: prefer that, but even then it'd be kind of close.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I really do like Larson here. From the Miami side,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: tough for me to justify the price tag on Jalen Johnson.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, the heat defense hasn't been good this year,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: so maybe I'll take that back a little bit, but
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: just generally the way that you and attack the heat
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: is with perimeter scoring. So I do prefer the matchup
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: for Nikhil Alexander Walker and CJ McCollum a little bit
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: more than I do. Jim Johnson, Dyson Daniels, but that's
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: not to say that I won't play any of them.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: I just think that, you know, with the way that
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: my brain works, I want to attack those three point
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: shooters with against Miami. So I would lean those two,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: but definitely think Jalen and Dyson aren't played here. We
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: saw Dyson get it done against a turnover prone team
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: like Orlando. Miami has actually been doing a good job
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: taking care of the ball. So maybe the turnovers won't,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: won't be there, but, Yeah, just a little bit tougher
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: for me to picture either of those guys hitting the
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: ceiling where I can really paint a clear picture with
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: Nikhil Alexander-Walker and CJ McCollum.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Shout out to our man, Douglas. Look at that. Went
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: to bed, thought he lost all of his money because
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: of Precious. Woke up to 15 Gs from the Lakers
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: and the Blazers showdown. That is awesome stuff, Douglas. That
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: is a lot of cheese. So that is very awesome.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I love how at the end you said feeling grateful. Yeah,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: it's easy to think you're the man on a hot
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: streak or when you win and stuff like that, but
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: you do need a lot to go your way. Feeling
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: grateful is always good. So congrats to you, Douglas. Very
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: well deserved. Any rules in this one, I guess? Like
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: CJ's getting ownership. I guess, what, max two of Nod, Dyson, CJ?
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much you're really going to get
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: it on a nine-game slate anyway, but any rules on
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: either side?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: That would probably be the only one that I make
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: on the Atlanta side. Miami, I didn't have enough time
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: to look through the rotation on who Larson would eat into,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: but I assume that it's Clay and Tim Hardaway. I
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: don't really think that those guys are even in play tonight,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: so you're just X-ing them out and then playing these
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: top five to six guys a lot.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I like it. Makes some sense. Next game on the slate,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: we have the Orlando Magic and the Toronto Raptors. Raptors,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: four and a half point favorites, 223 and a half
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: total in this one. Paulo's out. He has been for
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: a couple days now. Anthony Black's questionable, so that is important.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I know Jalen Suggs as well, who's going to be
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: out for a little while. Toronto side, Kawhi's also going
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: to be out for a little while. So Anthony Black news, though,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: is going to be pretty important. I don't know. I mean,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I get it. Franz is 8.3K, which might be a
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: little expensive for him. Bane, I don't love seeing him
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: at 6.8K, but that's usually when Paul is in. Without him,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: they have to take on a big part of this offense,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: and it only could get better if there is no
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Anthony Black With that being said, ownership would also follow
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: a decent bit if he is ruled out. This game
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: is the only game at 7.30 Eastern. Hoping we get
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: it before the 7 p.m. Eastern start time. We very
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: well might. But yeah, for a pretty low total, that
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Anthony Blacknews is important on this slate. Then on the
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Toronto side, Jacoby Walter has been solid. And obviously, yeah,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: they're without. We said it day one, like it's hard
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: for me to get to this Raptors team when they're healthy.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: But without Kawhi, it's back to this old Raptors team. So. Quakely, Barrett,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Scottie Barnes, any interest for you in any of those guys?
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Was Black expected to play? Did I miss that?
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's questionable still, but it was just with a
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: personal issue, and then they said, like, right afterwards that
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: he was expected to be back for.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: The game tonight.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: So what am I not implying?
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I know. I mean, the game total is
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: really low here.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: It makes sense. These teams have not been good on
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: offense this year. Orlando is bottom six. Toronto is bottom eight.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Toronto has been the top defense in the league and they're,
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: they are playing fast. So there is a little bit
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: of chance that the game speeds up and there's more scoring,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: but I don't know. This isn't like, obviously the value
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: is going to get you onto some of these guys.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: I'm not really too into it. You kind of made
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: the case against Bain and I pretty much wrote up
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: the same thing. Like I don't like playing him at
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: what I expect to be higher ownership than what we're
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: seeing right now. The numbers did look pretty good last year.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: He was around like 1.2 fantasy points a minute. So
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: at 6.8 K guys playing 30, five to 36 minutes
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: definitely a chance for him to hit the upside case
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: but i really just think that with all the offseason
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: talk around franz about them getting more involved as a
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: on-ball option he'd be the guy that i look to
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: because if we're getting 60 from somebody on this team
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: i'd imagine it comes from franz here he was one
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: assist shy of the triple double last game and uh
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: had a 32 usage rate without paulo and that one
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: and now you take away jayden sucks it's just going
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: to be really, really sky high usage for him.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. He's going to go up against Scottie.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: That's the big downside.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: The scoring may not be there, but I just think
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: that the role is much, much better for Franz, even
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: at 8.3 K. I'd probably want to end up at
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: least around the field or slightly over there. And then Bane,
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: I'd probably say is more of like around the field
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: to underweight, assuming that the ownership once we get, once
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: it gets updated, it's probably gonna be a little bit
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: higher than it's at right now. And Anthony Black, he
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: was on a minute's limit, but kind of, wasn't. Played
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: 26 minutes in his first game back, so could be
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: looking at full workload from him. He'll mix in on
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: ball a good bit with Sugg's sideline. He's the cheapest
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: of the three, so I think that he's a decent
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: value play.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: That's about it, though.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: I did talk a little bit about Tristan Da Silva
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: earlier this year, like last week, and he hit in
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: a pretty big way, but now he's that 5.5K guy
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: that's just going to be shooting the ball, not really
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: too much in play.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll give you props for sure. Opening night, you
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: talked about Tristan De Silva. I'm trying to see what
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: he did. Yeah. I mean, he had like the same
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: amount of drafting points in the first half is almost
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: what he ended with it seems, but definitely did solid.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Now it's hard at that price tag though. Uh, yeah,
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, uh, your thoughts on Scotty Barnes, right?
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Uh, no, I didn't, but I just, I don't really
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: think that you're sneaking in passing buddy. Like everybody's expecting
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: a big role from him. Obviously one scoreless last game, uh,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: But I was looking at some of the coach speak
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: and then just the presser from Scottie Barnes. They still
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: want him to be aggressive around, especially attacking the paint.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I think you can against Orlando with Wendell Carter Jr.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Down low.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Missed all of his open shots. I mean, every single
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: one of his threes was wide open. I would expect
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: him to regress back to the mean here, and then
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: he could put up a really big score like we've
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: seen from him in the past.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Good eligibility as well.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: RJ Barrett's expected to take on a larger workload as well,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: but he's 7.1K with just shooting guard eligibility. not super
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: into IQ at 6.9 K with the strength of the
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: point guard position, cheaper and more expensive. And then I
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: do think that Walter, like you mentioned, basically in all
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: like the preseason stuff I was listening to about the Raptors,
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: they said there's going to be games that Kawhi misses
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: and Walter's going to have to be the guy that
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: steps up. He had a really good game, seven for
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: 12 from the field, five for eight from deep. I
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: actually think that he's a high upside value play, not
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: just a guy you look to for floor. He was
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: pacing for, like 36, 37 minutes in that game before
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: the Raptors pulled the plug.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: He was at 31 minutes.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: When they subbed all the starters out. So he actually
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: looks like a pretty high upside play to me.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I didn't even know he was pacing
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: for those type of minutes. Obviously, he was efficient. Shot
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: eight threes, though. He was pretty important in their playoff
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: run as well. They trusted him at the end of games.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: So I think Jacoby Walter is definitely an elite play
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: at 4.6K, regardless of Nembhard. in or out, even if
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Quentin Jackson, all those guys get ownership, that would only
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: lower Walters. But yeah, I think he's my favorite play
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: in this game. I'll say that at the price. Scottie,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, if he does what he did against the Wizards,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: just feels like he needs the up-tempo, the stocks, get
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: out and run. The lower total always scares me, but
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: he definitely has, I mean, he's not, I don't even
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: know if he's going to be 17% today. It could
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: be like 10%. And he always does have that 60-point
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: upside at 8,300. So he has to be in the pool.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: I don't love him.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Uh Orlando just gave up seven steals to Dyson Daniels
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: so there's definitely a path.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: For him yeah there you go um 8.3k solid price
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: I guess like him or LeBron LeBron's a little cheaper
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: but similar positions who would you choose.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: I would probably like in the the large field tournament
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: I would side with Scottie just because I think the
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: high end upside is there for him but if you're
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: looking for like a floor play I definitely think LeBron's
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: is much.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Much better No one's looking for a floor play on
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: this show.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Some people play cash or smaller field single entry stuff.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're looking at one right here, but nowadays
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: you're not even really playing for floor and cash as much.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: People are too good. All right, next game on the slates. Wardos.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Terrible New York Knicks. Hey, they got the win. I
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: know you are. They got the win. Taking on the
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Chicago Bulls. Seven net point favorites are the Knicks. 232
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: and a half total in this one. Jose Alvarado odd
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: for the Knicks. No real injury news on Chicago to
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: mention what Toby Awaka is questionable. No Nicholas Claxton back
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: to back for the Knicks. Carl Anthony Towns. Yeah, we
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: got that game, right? I mean, Azure Thompson's a stub.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Brunson was limited a bit. Towns gets there greatly in
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: the second half. These guys did play most of their
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: starters are hard play 27 minutes, but Brunson OG played
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: over 35 or about 35. Towns only played 32 though.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Seven and a half point favorites. So, I mean, if
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: they are going to be seven point game with five
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: minutes left, I'm expecting the starters to play. So I
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: guess I'm not too worried about the back to back,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: but it is worth noting. I mean, we talked about
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: the Knicks yesterday on a four game slate. It's just
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: their starters and nothing for the bench. So it only
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: gets tighter on a bigger slate. The Bulls side, I
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: think it's going to be tough to click these buttons
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: most of the year. Caleb Wilson, a lot of his
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: games once in a while, but 7.1K, you definitely have
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: to get it right. What do you think?
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish that the Knicks ran away with the
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: game last night because they kind of let the bench
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: unit for the Pistons back in with a couple minutes left.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: I think they cut it to like 13 or 14,
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: something like that, with like four or five minutes left.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: So the Knicks starter stayed out there. I wish that
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: they We're able to run away with it because then
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: we get four minutes a night in a really good matchup.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: I just think that the Bulls continue to be one
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: of the worst defenses in the NBA. There's still a
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: huge rim fault on giving up transition points. I just
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: think that the entire Knicks starting five is in a
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: really good spot here. I do worry that the Bulls
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: won't be able to keep it close, but the back-to-back
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: probably helps them more so than it does hurt them.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: I like the matchup for Cat, though. Not worried about
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: anybody he's matched up with on the other side. If
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: you looked at just like DVP numbers, then it probably
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: would point to everybody else but Cat because the Bulls
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: have allowed the fourth most drafting points to point guards,
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: second most to shooting guards, small.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Forwards, and sixth most to power forwards.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: I just think it's a little bit tougher for Brunson
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: on this big of a slate to really hit in
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: a big way, especially in potentially a non-competitive game. I
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: think you want him more in a really competitive game
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: against a good team, a good playoff team. But I
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: think that OG, Hart, not as much Bridges. He just
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: hasn't looked good. He looked better last night, but still
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: doesn't do enough to get there. I feel like you're
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: going to add something about Bridges there.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: I was just going to say better price on FanDuel.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Like yesterday, the ownership on FanDuel was night and day different.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: But like Derek White was another one yesterday. There's still
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: some big pricing differences on both. That's all. His usage
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: went up to 16%, which was like double his first
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: couple games. It's like, wow, but not what you're looking
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: for on a non-gamer.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: What is he on? Fando's like 4.2K, something like that?
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he was yesterday. Let me see. 4.4 now. Okay.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Small forward and shooting guard eligibility. Still on a, again,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: four-game slate, a lot more appealing. 12-game slate because Fando
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: did add the other three games. Luka's out. I still don't.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I'd be hesitant, especially if he is coming with ownership.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: I haven't looked at updated projected ownership since Luka news.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: To me, this feels like a Josh Hart get right
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: game like you like these up-tempo games for heart where
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: you can get and get out scoring transition can add
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: the rebounds and the assists and things like that so
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: i kind of like him at uh what looks to
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: be the lowest ownership of the starting five but i
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: mean og is going to fit a lot of builds
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: with that power.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: Forward eligibility and a fairly cheap price tag.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: So i'm fine with all these guys don't want to
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: go to a report i think it's a max two
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: overall um and then kind of just move along but
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: i expect the next to roll in this one Bowles,
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: if you're looking to anybody that's potentially going to keep
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: the game close, it's probably Caleb Wilson and Norm Powell.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: I think the matchup's pretty decent for Norm Powell against
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: a three-point funnel. Really tough spot for Caleb Wilson, I think,
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: but he's just a stud, so he can get there
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: in really tough matchups. The role has been so bad
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: for Josh Giddey. I just can't play him until he's
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: below 6Ks right now.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Jordan's got me dying. Wardo, I can already see Wardo
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: screaming at his computer, getting all angry nobody gives a
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: shit about the defending champs bordo it's now and they're
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: one in three so they better figure it out this
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: is a good get right spot for them uh what
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: you would play uh like you wouldn't play brunson and
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: towns together i.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Probably wouldn't just because i think you're eating up a
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: lot of salary from the same team and you probably
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: get a better score from other guys at uh same
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: positions different teams so.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah i probably wouldn't i agree All right, let's keep rolling.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Next game on the slate, Denver Nuggets and New Orleans Pelicans.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Four and a half point favorites are the Nugs, 240
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: and a half total, which is tied for the second
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: biggest on the slate with the Wizards and the Cavs.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: And then the Heat and the Hawks, 241 and a half.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: So pretty much tied for the highest. Denver side, no
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Cam Johnson, no Spencer Jones. On the Pelican side, no Messi.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Looking at ownership in this game, no one above 10%. Yeah, see,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: this is why Giannis is just going to be so high-owned.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: $ 10.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: 2K versus $ 12K. $ 1, 800 goes a long way on the slate,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: and then you add in Jokic just being center, obviously,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: as he should be, with a lot of spend-down options
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: at center. I prefer going to Embiid just because you
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: get a big pricing difference, and yeah, you're giving up
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: some ownership, but Jokic could have $ 68K today and still
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: not be on the winner just because of how the
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: slate works out. So that's the bear case for him.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: The bull case is he's Jokic and Heck, he could
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: have 92 today, and if he does that, then you
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: need him. But competitive game, not getting much ownership either side.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Do you have any interest?
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, really appealing game total, close spread, two really
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: bad defenses. I mean, Denver's kind of fallen off in
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: a big way since winning the championship a few years ago.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Lost a ton of depth this year.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: Guys are injured. Like, they just don't look very good.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Pelicans are competitive. So this game does predict to be close.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: I agree with what you say about Jokic. But I
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: think there is a high likelihood, maybe not high likelihood,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: but better than his ownership is projecting right now that
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: he is a guy that's needed tonight. He's averaging 68
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: DK points versus the Pelicans this year. Just had 81
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: against him over the weekend. Obviously, a little bit helped
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: out with overtime. But I mean, this Pelicans defense is so,
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: so bad. I really do think that Jokic could put
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: up a massive score here.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: I think he's one of the top players on the board.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: The question is, do you start with Him or Jokic,
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: you can play both because there is plenty of– Who.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Do you mean, him or Jokic?
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Giannis. Yeah. Yeah.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, there's plenty of value that you can play both.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: I was looking at some of that before getting on here.
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: And the lamps don't look too bad. Like there is
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: a lot of really good value now, especially with the
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: pacer stuff opening up.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, if it's not him– Let me look quick.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: I just want to check rough numbers, how much you're
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: giving up from the optimal doing so. Oh, yeah, very
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: much in play. like seven and a half or something
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: like that. So definitely a route you can go. Yeah.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: If it's not Jokic, then it's probably pretty clearly going
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: to be Jamal Murray. He shouldn't really have too bad
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: of a matchup. They'll put DeJounte Murray on him. So
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: he just cooked that over the weekend as well. I
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: think he's totally fine. Probably like, that's probably a reason
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: why you'd be a max one of Kat and Brunson
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: because Jamal Murray is right there for 400 more than
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson. I'd much rather go with a Murray, Kat,
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: pairing than I would pairing those two guys together.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Outside of that though, we'll see. I mean, they've been
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: starting this Bryce Hopkins guy.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know much about him, but it seems like
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: this Trayvon Brazil dude is a better player and he's
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: been closing out games in close games.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: So I think I'd probably look there.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: Power forward eligibility, 4.7 K looks like a decent value.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Pelicans are tough to get to just because the.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: Prices are right. Usage is pretty spread out. I think
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: if you're looking to anybody, it would be Trey Murphy. The,
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Nuggets have been really bad at defending a three-point line
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: this year. He kind of came back, bounced back after
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: a few not-so-great games to start the season. I think
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: that there's still upside for him at 7.3K, so I
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: would look to him. Maybe Derek Queen as a pivot
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: off of OG or some other guys priced in that
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: same range, because I think that they're going to want
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: to play him more, and we've seen what the upside
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: can look like for him if things are going right,
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: but it can also look really bad, because I think
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: Jokic just absolutely cooks him, and maybe he gets benched,
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: but I'm not Super excited about the Pelicans in particular,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: more so excited about the game environment as a whole.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Makes sense. And, yeah, Jake, if you don't want to
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: play Capella at 3,100, spending up at center for Jokic,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: obviously plenty of Jokic teams probably will have Capella as well,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: but Jay Huff we mentioned is some sort of value. But, yeah,
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: you can flip builds and go more value guards and
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: forwards and spend up with Jokic, which does not sound
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: bad one bit. Jordan Poole, any Jordan Poole love?
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: No.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: $ 3, 500?
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe. He'll probably land some bills because he's so cheap.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: If you are playing Jokic, I think it makes sense.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: If you don't want to play Capella, you play Jokic,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: talk about spending down at guard. That's an option. You
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: can do it. But it's really to jam in probably
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: Giannis and Jokic stuff.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: All right. Two games left. The Houston Rockets and... Jordan
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: and Michael's Milwaukee Bucks, just as good as the Knicks. Hey,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: we're as good as the defending champs for now. Could
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: end today, though. But the Bucks are decent-sized underdogs. They're
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: looking at– where is it on– what the heck? Oh,
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: they're eight-and-a-half-point favorites of the Rockets. 226-and-a-half total, and that
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: is with no singoon for the Rockets. And then on
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: the Bucks' side, there is no new injuries to talk about.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw. I think it was–
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: monday maybe uh whenever the bucks were at home and
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: the brewers were playing i've never seen the pfizer form
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: so empty and yeah i'm expecting that to be the
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: case again tonight tickets are probably free no one's going
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: to be there because everyone's going to be across the
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: street at american family field watching a game that's not
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: even taking place but watching it on tv absolutely all
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: brewers right now in wisconsin no one cares about the
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: bucks that being said I mean, they're going to be bad.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: It's going to be tough for them all year. But, like,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Tyler Hero has a good role for 7.2K. Just get
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Kuzma out of this lineup. He is absolutely atrocious. But, yeah,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: it's can the Bucs fight enough, I guess, is the question,
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: to make some of these Rockets, like a KD, like
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: an Amin Thompson, like a Fred VanVleet, give them their
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: full allotment of minutes to smash is the main question,
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: I think. What do you think?
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, there's a chance. They don't look.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, they do look pretty bad, but not absolutely terrible.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: like they're able to keep some games close i think
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: they had a pretty decent game either over the weekend
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: or a couple days ago where they kept it pretty
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: close um you definitely want that if you're playing any
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: of the older guys on the rockets like kd for
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: event fleet we saw kd in the game where they
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: were kind of running away with it against atlanta didn't
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: even check back into the fourth so that would be
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: definitely detrimental to his price tag and him paying it
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: off at 7.5 K not necessarily necessarily a situation where
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: you're like, if KD one of hero or Rollins or
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: Jaime or anything like that, but you're just kind of
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: hoping for a closer game.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: I mean the value on the Houston stuff just looks really,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: really strong. Sorry.
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: He's in particular, even if he's not starting, like if
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: that takes away some percentage points of his ownership, which
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: I doubt it will, I'm just going to be playing
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: a ton of him. He's looked really good to start
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: the year, really good positional eligibility and, I don't know
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: what to do with the Capella stuff just because he's so,
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: so cheap. I'd be surprised, though, if he's playing 20 minutes.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: I honestly think he's closer to 16 to 18 on
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: the high end. A lot of places around the industry
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: are projecting him for 20.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: I think, what does Saberson have him at? 21.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Damn near 22. Damn near 22. I think that feels aggressive.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: I'll probably take some and give some to Eason if
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: I was doing minutes projections closer to 29 for Eason
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: and like 18 for Capella. That feels a little bit
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: closer to what I would expect tonight. But yeah, Eason
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: hands down the best value play on the slate. Him
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: and Nemhar, I think are one and two. But yeah,
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: You're, I'm a little bit interested. This might be.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: Getting a little bit too cute on this, but go
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: with slate with the value, but reach shepherd at 4.8
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: K as a pivot off of Fred Van Fleet, who's
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: looking a little chalky is something that is interesting to me.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: He's looked really good, even off the bench, been, producing
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: pretty well. And, you know, this long season, Fred Van
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: Fleet coming off the, the 20 ACL getting older, like
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: maybe they don't want to push his minutes up too
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: much here against a bad Milwaukee Bucks team. And maybe
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: they just give it mostly to Amen and Reed Shepard.
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: So I'd be a max two of those three. I
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: honestly would probably be a max two of KD, Amen,
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Van Fleet and Shepard. Cause I do think that there's
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: multiple ways that Reed could eat into these guys. Definitely
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: want ample amount of exposure to all of them, but yeah, it's.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Kind of far and away.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: He's in as the best play for me here. And
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: that's still, I'm kind of, I'm going to have to
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: take some more time to wrap my head around the
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: Capella stuff.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Cause he does project really.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: Well, but it could be a, maybe not a precious
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: situation like last night, but if he's at like 16 minutes,
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: it'd be tough for me to paint a scenario where
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: he's the guy that you need at value.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: And then you're missing out on one of Yoka, Trampied
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: in that situation.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: Before you go, I don't even know if you have
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: any interest in the buck stuff, but like, How many
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: is too many? This is the team. I mean, just
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: sort of my ownership, it shows. But you might have
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: some pretty solid projected teams playing Capella for sure, Eason,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Fred VanVleet, and KD. Or instead of KD, Amin Thompson.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Probably not as much Thompson because it could be point
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: guard and shooting guard eligibility he has. But, yeah, like
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: four of these top five guys, and mainly Atari, Eason,
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Capella would be like two of them that are in there.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: Is four just too much on this list? Probably.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: I think three would probably be where I'd want to land.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I wouldn't be playing.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you're even going to get a
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: lot of these lines, but like Tariq and Capella and
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: Jabari are three guys that are going to be competing
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: for the same stats and the same minutes. I wouldn't
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: play more than two of those guys together. I don't
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: know if it'd be smart to say Maxwell and Capella
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: and Tariq. I think at their price tags, they could
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: definitely both get there if we're wrong or if I'm
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: wrong on the minutes for Capella.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think that three, Probably feels a little
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: bit better.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Makes sense. Young Gunn talking about walking to them traditional centers.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: I think Houston goes small. Yeah, I agree with that.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, Mount Turner and Kahlil Ware.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, neither of them are traditional centers. They're not going
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: to back you down. They both want to do the
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: same thing.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: They want to launch a bunch of threes and get
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: some cheap blocks and not even have good rim protection.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: So I do agree with that. You don't need to
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: go with Capella against either of these guys.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is true, Michael. Actually, no, I think the
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: 3 p.m. people actually had there. I think it was
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: the game after that at home. I could be wrong, though,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: but no one cares about the Bucs right now in Milwaukee.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: That's clear.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: Can you get to any Tyler Hero? That's the only
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: guy that I really would have interest in myself.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think it would be Jaime,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: if anybody. But even then, he's still asking for a
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: lot of his price tag.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fair to say.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: I'll just say– Last two or three games, Hero 52-50.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: He's chucking it. Usage is there, but the minutes do
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: seem capped a bit, which is annoying.
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: He's also going against Ahmen, who's shut him down in
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: the past. I mean, you remember him just absolutely bullying him.
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that was last year or the
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: year before, but Ahmen's going to lock him down.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, makes sense.
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: There was some, I don't know if it's a conspiracy
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: or just people making shit up, but Giannis did say
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: after he signed with the heat that he, or it
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: was traded to the heat that he wanted to come
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: back to Milwaukee.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: He's only on a one year deal.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: What if he did this orchestrated this massive trade for
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: them to have a good roster when he comes back
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: and then just resigns the next year.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That sounds more. Cause I feel like Giannis is
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: too good of a guy to be doing something like that.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're partnering with, with betting, uh, these prediction
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: markets and things like that.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: How many people in the world are doing that nowadays? Yeah.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: But I mean, how much money is enough money when you're, uh,
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: you know, multi-time all-star MVP finals champ.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: That's Paul Pierce. You see that?
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: No, what are you doing?
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: He's going broke, I guess.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, Paul Pierce. For some reason, I just was thinking
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Paul George because my mind's on this. But, yeah, I
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: did see that.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is really, really sad. Yeah. And, I mean,
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: broke is definitely all relative. Yeah. You're not playing Khalil,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: where are you?
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: He's done really well, but that seems a little bit fluky.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: He's not going to continue to average two fantasy points
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: per minute.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: All right, last game of the night. Last game on
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: the DraftKings slate. Three more games on FanDuel. But Golden
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Three-and-a-half-point favorites are the Wolves,
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: 227-and-a-half total. No Anthony Edwards. He's going to be out
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: for two months or something like that, I believe. And
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: on the Golden State side, the Axles, questionable. I mean,
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: coming off a massive game against the Nuggets it was.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Is that a real cue tag? Like, I'm just assuming
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: he's in. I didn't hear any news, though. Any thoughts
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: on that? Because that matters a decent bit.
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: I was looking at a bit yesterday, I believe, or
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: the day before, and he kind of downplayed it. He said, like,
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: he stepped on somebody's foot, and it was just kind
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: of like a bruise type thing. So I think he's
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: going to be fine.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: You know, still young. Well, young-ish.
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: He's a young guy, but not a young rookie. But, yeah,
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: I think that he probably plays tonight.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah. I mean, the Warriors side, like the T-Wolves
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: are going to be very similar to the Rockets where
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: they're going to get quite a bit of ownership and
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: where mid-tier plays are going to come from. But no
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: one's going to play the Warriors. So it seems like
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: a very similar game to the last one. One side's
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: getting ownership, not the other side. I will say Yaxl
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: at 7K is something I'm interested in at 5%, hoping
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: the Q tag scares people. because there still is four
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: games at 7 or 8 p.m. Eastern that you can
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: late swap to if you are wrong. So I think
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: he's a great play. Yeah.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if you want to, it
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: might be too much to go back to the tool,
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: but I would be curious to see what it looks
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: like with, you know, for the Warriors with the axle out.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we can do that.
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: While you're pulling that up, I'll just touch on the
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: Warriors getting that big blowout win against the Nuggets. Offense
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: has not been an issue, but they are one of
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: the worst defenses, bottom four in defense this year. bottom
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: three in transition points per game. So I think that
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: this is a pretty good spot for the Wolves offensively.
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: Wolves have just been pretty good defensively. So I think
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: it can be tougher for the Warriors to really put
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: up a big score. But yeah, we see, yeah, Guy
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: sees a really big bump. Niang, don't play him.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: You love Niang.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about it earlier today. I was like,
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: like I was watching the Rudy Gobert low lights where
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: he just was awful last game. And I was like, damn,
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: as a professional athlete, Who are the most unathletic guys?
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: Niang and Rudy Gobert were two of the ones that
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: came to mind.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Niang was one of the most unathletic in college. He
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: was able to make a work. I liked him at
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Iowa State. There's a huge level difference when you go
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: from college to the NBA. When you're not even excelling
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: in the athletic category in college, props to him though.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: He's getting paid, doing what he loves, and still getting
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: minutes out there. It doesn't mean we're playing him for DFS.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: This is interesting. Guy It would look really good.
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: You don't see a huge bump on Draymond or Steph
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: or anything like that, but I do think Pods would
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: be a guy that would see a pretty big uptick.
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: He missed the opening night game and then was pretty
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: much back to full, so we could expect a pretty
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: decently sized role for him. Going to have a much
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: better matchup than Curry as well. Curry's going to be
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: guarded by Jaden McDaniels. Generally a stay away, but I
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: think that there's a little bit of upside for him.
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: Minnesota's been pretty bad in the pick and roll over
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: the past two seasons. Gobert's playing a lot of drop
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: coverage these days, so it could be a good spot
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: for Curry to put up some points.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, the match was not great for Yaxel.
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: He's kind of a little bit more reliant on the
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: rim scoring, but he did have a game where he made,
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it was, like six threes, something
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: He's not afraid to shoot it.
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: No, definitely not. And they are like encouraging him. I mean,
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: he's had like the best, I feel like some of
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: the best PR run to start the year just with Aldo.
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: the post-game interview stuff and you know not backing down
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: to luca uh regardless if you think that he did
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: a good or bad against them but yeah six for
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: 11 two games ago only made one of the other
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: three games a little bit more uh higher variance there
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: but prefer him in games that are up tempo where
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: you can get room scoring going not thinking that this
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: is the one but Still, I mean, the talent level
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: is real. He is probably an 8K-plus player at some
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: point this year. I don't think I'm going to get
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: so much on the Warriors' side, though. I think this
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: is kind of Minnesota or bust. I think there's a
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: little bit of holes to poke in the Lomelo stuff.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: His minutes have been really, really down. He's obviously going
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: to see a huge usage bump and probably is above
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: 30 minutes, but in some of the games, he's playing
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: 25 regulation minutes. I actually think that this is planned
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: to keep him pretty low.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: They have.
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: a decent amount of depth behind him with io and
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: terence shannon jr and bones highland all guys that can
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: mix in on ball a little bit so i don't
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: know i mean he might be a guy that you
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: look to fade in single entry stuff if he's going
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: to be really high on which i do expect tonight
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: i think that it's just a much easier click to
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: go down to io we've seen him have really solid
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: role for the wolves uh last year a little bit
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: different with uh lamella ball on the court with him
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: but Average 36.4 DK points for game without Ant in
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: 33 minutes per game. I think they'll definitely lean onto
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: him a lot for a lot of minutes here. And
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: then if Io starts, I actually think that's sneakily good
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: for Kaminga because I think that they might be competing
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: for minutes if Io came off of the bench. But
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: if they're starting alongside each other, I do think that
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: it's a sneaky good spot for Kaminga against his former team.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: Everybody loves the revenge narrative.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: The Warriors have been really, really bad in transition and
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: don't have much size to speak of. So it could
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: be a decent spot for Kaminga. And I saw somebody
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: mentioned Terrence Shannon Jr. Definitely in on him at 3.7K.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: I think they will lean into him a little bit more,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: maybe less so Bones. I kind of feel like it's
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: a max one of Bones. I don't think that you're
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: getting any of this combination, but max one Bones and LaMelo.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: And then it's probably a max two of Io, Kaminga,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: and Terrence Shannon Jr. But I have a lot of
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: interest in all of those guys. A little bit less
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: in J.D. McDaniels and Gobert. Gobert is really cheap, but.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: Not ever a fun click.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just been really bad for him so far.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: The pick-and-roll stuff hasn't looked great with him and Lomelo.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: It'll eventually get there, but it just hasn't looked good
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: so far. Jaden McDaniel is going to have his hands
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: full guarding Steph, but he's definitely going to be a
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: guy that's probably becoming the number two offensive weapon for them.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: He's the one that stood out to me, yeah. Wolves
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: getting a lot of ownership, but not Jaden McDaniel. 6.1
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: is a fair price tag. Definitely have interest there. He
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: will be working hard on defense, but he's always working
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: hard on defense.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: That is all nine games. Talked a little bit over
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: an hour about it. Again, shout out to the team
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes working on the bump on the slate station.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: Very important. Again, if you think Yaxel's going to be out,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: let's say, even though we don't think so ourselves, Guy
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: Santos is someone that you can just naturally raise the
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: projection you'll get a lot more of. And that's how
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: you can get an advantage over the field if you
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: have ideas like that. But just to be prepared for
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: questionable tags that could go either way and what it
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: impacts before projections are updated but yeah you will see
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: projections ownership of course updated throughout slate station shout out
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: to our man matt core plays are on there as
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: well nba the stone shout out to uh forget who
