- 0:52Speaker 3: sick a little bit pre show, but happy to know
- 0:54Speaker 3: that you're feeling better.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Yeah, feeling a lot better today. Just getting overstrapped throat,
- 0:58Speaker 4: which so you know, anyone with young kids knows the
- 1:02Speaker 4: sickness comes with it, Definitely comes with it. So I've
- 1:05Speaker 4: been feeling it the past couple of days, but feeling
- 1:06Speaker 4: a lot better today. So definitely excited to hop on
- 1:10Speaker 4: here and talk some hoops with you. We got a
- 1:13Speaker 4: fun slate, not as much of a sprint slate as
- 1:16Speaker 4: we've had the past couple of nights, or at least
- 1:18Speaker 4: last night, but still I think the last game locks
- 1:20Speaker 4: at eight thirty, so I like slates like this.
- 1:23Speaker 5: I'm excited to break this one down with you. How's
- 1:25Speaker 5: everything going with you?
- 1:27Speaker 3: Yeah, everything's Everything's good. Can't complain, as you guys can
- 1:30Speaker 3: tell them in a different setting. Right now, I'm in
- 1:33Speaker 3: the process of moving, so doing things from my laptop
- 1:37Speaker 3: right now. Hopefully go smoothly. But yeah, everything's good. You know,
- 1:42Speaker 3: a little little bum didn't get the Life Final seat
- 1:44Speaker 3: this year. I always enjoy going to those live finals
- 1:47Speaker 3: and hanging out with all of the other contestants and
- 1:49Speaker 3: sharp DFS minds. But our guy sheets will be out there,
- 1:51Speaker 3: a couple other buddies will be out there, so good
- 1:53Speaker 3: luck to everybody.
- 1:55Speaker 6: Competing over the weekend. Say type of some people in chat.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Got a guy Michael here, Marquee Para bay Ricky Rose,
- 2:04Speaker 3: name Gang Green, got Deacon Brittany, Jermaine j Cole. All right,
- 2:13Speaker 3: well that's here, so glad to hear that you're saying.
- 2:15Speaker 3: But yeah, so a little bit larger slate than we've
- 2:19Speaker 3: had recently. I got Thomas in here as well, But yeah,
- 2:25Speaker 3: a little different slate than we've had recently. Like you said,
- 2:27Speaker 3: more spread out over the over an hour and a half.
- 2:31Speaker 6: Definitely have some value.
- 2:32Speaker 3: A lot of teams tanking as well, So got a
- 2:34Speaker 3: lot of stuff to talk through, but any any just
- 2:37Speaker 3: thirty thousand foot overview of the slate before we get started.
- 2:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I promise you, Jermain coll is not my burner,
- 2:45Speaker 4: but I need more hype men in like that in
- 2:47Speaker 4: my life. Yeah, as far as like an overall theme
- 2:51Speaker 4: goes for the slate, a little bit different than we've
- 2:54Speaker 4: had recently, just because I think there's like a couple
- 2:57Speaker 4: more games.
- 2:58Speaker 5: It's like more full.
- 2:59Speaker 4: Slate, should say, but still the typical like Jokic slate
- 3:04Speaker 4: where he's going to be really desirable, and just kind
- 3:07Speaker 4: of the blowout concerns that exist in the NBA these
- 3:11Speaker 4: days because they're all over, especially with a team like
- 3:15Speaker 4: Minnesota who still is under price for Anthony Edwards to
- 3:18Speaker 4: be out second half of a back to back, big
- 3:21Speaker 4: blog concerns there.
- 3:23Speaker 5: It's a fun slate to break down.
- 3:24Speaker 4: I like how many games it is, and I think
- 3:26Speaker 4: there's a ton of angles we can attack in tournaments.
- 3:29Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Absolutely, I didn't know you had a golf takedown. Was
- 3:34Speaker 3: that on a Sunday?
- 3:35Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't a takedown, finished like I think fourth
- 3:38Speaker 4: in the five point fifty five Big Showdown slate on
- 3:42Speaker 4: Sunday fell out of third on the last hole, which
- 3:47Speaker 4: sucked because you know, when you drop like that, it's
- 3:49Speaker 4: not fun. But yeah, it was nice. It wasn't a takedown,
- 3:53Speaker 4: but still nice to hit fourth. So brought a lot
- 3:56Speaker 4: of my money back that day. I should say, you
- 3:58Speaker 4: know how that goes?
- 3:59Speaker 6: Yeah for sure?
- 4:01Speaker 3: All right, yeah, we'll jump right in, jump right into
- 4:04Speaker 3: the first game. We got Matt handling the sabers and
- 4:07Speaker 3: stuff today because I can't figure out how to get
- 4:09Speaker 3: the screen share stuff up. But first game of Slate
- 4:12Speaker 3: Golden State Warriors at Boston Celtics, homecoming game for Chris
- 4:17Speaker 3: topsporzingis coming off of a really big game against Washington,
- 4:20Speaker 3: which hurt badly because I ended up fading him.
- 4:23Speaker 6: That was Monday.
- 4:24Speaker 3: I believe that was the last day to get a
- 4:25Speaker 3: live final seat, So kicking myself for fading him, but
- 4:29Speaker 3: I mean he had put up like two Fantasy points
- 4:31Speaker 3: per minut. It was just a crazy outcome in a
- 4:33Speaker 3: really good matchup. But this one will definitely be a
- 4:35Speaker 3: little bit tougher. Boston obviously one of the better teams
- 4:39Speaker 3: in the NBA, one of the best defenses in the NBA.
- 4:42Speaker 3: So yeah, talked me through what you've seen on the
- 4:44Speaker 3: Warriors in Boston game. I'm not really seeing too much
- 4:46Speaker 3: on the Warrior side of things, but I think there
- 4:48Speaker 3: are some options on Boston tonight.
- 4:49Speaker 6: For sure.
- 4:52Speaker 4: I think there are some options for sure, but as
- 4:55Speaker 4: far as like games go from a dfast perspective, this
- 4:59Speaker 4: one is isn't like that appealing to me. Before I
- 5:03Speaker 4: even get into it, I just want to say I
- 5:04Speaker 4: appreciate the shout out, Gang Green. Don't mean to sound
- 5:07Speaker 4: snobby with it not being a takedown, but quite a
- 5:10Speaker 4: big difference between first and fourth and tournaments these days,
- 5:12Speaker 4: which is unfortunate. But the truth back to the game itself,
- 5:18Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe you like Boston more than me here,
- 5:20Speaker 4: like Tatum at eighty seven hundred. I know someone mentioned
- 5:24Speaker 4: in the discord a couple of nights ago might have
- 5:26Speaker 4: been Gang Green himself, like you're never gonna get Tatum
- 5:28Speaker 4: this cheap. I tend to agree with him. Starting to
- 5:32Speaker 4: play more full minutes should be a competitive ish game.
- 5:36Speaker 4: You know that's not a first certain, but on this
- 5:40Speaker 4: slate it looks like one of the games that could
- 5:41Speaker 4: be more competitive. So I could see going with Tatum here.
- 5:45Speaker 4: Jalen Brown cheaper than he's been at ninety two, don't
- 5:49Speaker 4: hate him, like I think Pritchard is interesting in tournaments
- 5:54Speaker 4: at sixty four hundred, but if I'm playing one lineup tonight,
- 5:56Speaker 4: I don't think I'm getting anything from this game?
- 5:58Speaker 5: Do you see it differently?
- 6:00Speaker 6: No, I think I'm right there with you.
- 6:01Speaker 3: I do agree that Tatum is probably a little bit
- 6:03Speaker 3: underprized just for the upside that he has, But I
- 6:06Speaker 3: don't really see the minutes going much further than thirty
- 6:10Speaker 3: two right now.
- 6:10Speaker 6: I think that's kind of where they want to keep him.
- 6:12Speaker 3: So you are a little bit limited for one and
- 6:15Speaker 3: just the minutes play and that obviously we'll kind of
- 6:18Speaker 3: tone down the ceiling that a player can actually possess.
- 6:21Speaker 6: But yeah, I don't know.
- 6:22Speaker 3: I think it's a good matchup for the for the Celtics,
- 6:25Speaker 3: just Warriors haven't really been playing that great of defense.
- 6:27Speaker 3: I think that we probably get a useful game in
- 6:31Speaker 3: tournaments from one of these guys, but I don't know if.
- 6:33Speaker 6: It's going to be something that you needed to have.
- 6:35Speaker 3: So probably a max two situation for Boston For me,
- 6:39Speaker 3: i'd be fine with I just if I just have
- 6:41Speaker 3: one or zero. And I think goal se Wars are
- 6:44Speaker 3: going to be a max one. I mean, it's a
- 6:45Speaker 3: really really low team total for them, so I think
- 6:47Speaker 3: you're probably better off just fading. I think Melton is
- 6:50Speaker 3: kind of interesting though, just because he's been minutes are
- 6:52Speaker 3: turning in the right direction. Usage has been way up
- 6:54Speaker 3: as of blades. I think that he's an option. I
- 6:56Speaker 3: probably prefer him over Poisonous tonight. If I'm choosing one guy,
- 7:02Speaker 3: all right, jump into the next one. Let's see what
- 7:05Speaker 3: we have here pulled up. Yeah, okay See at Brooklyn,
- 7:07Speaker 3: huge blowout here. Okay See is on a back to back.
- 7:10Speaker 3: They will be without Hartenstein and lou Dort as well
- 7:16Speaker 3: as Jayen Willas Brandon Carlson. They've been out for a while,
- 7:18Speaker 3: and then we have a questional attack on Chet. I'd
- 7:20Speaker 3: imagine that he sits tonight, you know, give him the
- 7:23Speaker 3: night off, I would. I would think that the minutes
- 7:25Speaker 3: kind of come down for Shay a little bit as well,
- 7:27Speaker 3: as this game has a really really big likelihood of
- 7:30Speaker 3: blowing out early.
- 7:31Speaker 6: But you kind of know.
- 7:32Speaker 3: The situation that we have here with the okay See
- 7:35Speaker 3: front court, it's going to be Jaylen Williams at six K.
- 7:39Speaker 3: I think that's even a fine price for him in
- 7:41Speaker 3: this matchup. And we've been picking on Brooklyn with opposing
- 7:44Speaker 3: frontcourt guys all season long, so tonight's no different. I
- 7:46Speaker 3: have a ton of interest in Jaylen Williams. I think
- 7:49Speaker 3: that a JSON play as well, A little bit concerned
- 7:53Speaker 3: about the minutes for him on a back to back
- 7:54Speaker 3: after being out for so long, and then Brooklyn easy
- 7:58Speaker 3: x out for me. I just don't think that they
- 8:00Speaker 3: have so many bodies right now. Nobody's playing more than
- 8:02Speaker 3: like twenty five minutes on a nightly basis, So easy
- 8:05Speaker 3: X out there. But talk to me about the okay
- 8:07Speaker 3: c side of things.
- 8:09Speaker 5: So only two guys in this game?
- 8:11Speaker 4: Are only one guy in this game projected for ownership here,
- 8:13Speaker 4: and that's aj Mitchell, And I get.
- 8:15Speaker 5: It at this tag in this game environment, with.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Just the likelihood of a blowout here, plus just second
- 8:22Speaker 4: half of a back to back with SGA, I get it.
- 8:25Speaker 4: But I think the main target here is the guy
- 8:28Speaker 4: you mentioned, Jaylen Williams. Presuming Chat is out, and I
- 8:31Speaker 4: think he will be too. How do we not just
- 8:34Speaker 4: lock him in? Even at six K. He's shown such
- 8:37Speaker 4: a massive upside. I think you're gonna get to the
- 8:39Speaker 4: point even at six K where he's gonna be one of,
- 8:43Speaker 4: like one of the most popular players on the slate.
- 8:45Speaker 4: I don't want to say the most popular player yet
- 8:47Speaker 4: because we've barely broken any down, but I could see it.
- 8:51Speaker 4: He's just been too good in these spots. In this
- 8:53Speaker 4: spot against Brooklyn, he's gonna smash. I have a hard
- 8:57Speaker 4: time not locking him in. And if I'm playing one lineup,
- 9:00Speaker 4: you see it differently.
- 9:01Speaker 3: No, I mean, look what he's done the last four starts.
- 9:05Speaker 3: The early season stuff was kind of, you know, a
- 9:07Speaker 3: little different, but he's just been a beast over the
- 9:09Speaker 3: last four starts. He had fifty one and a half
- 9:11Speaker 3: against the Spurs, a tough matchup, fifty six against Detroit,
- 9:15Speaker 3: fifty seven against Denver. So I just had I don't
- 9:17Speaker 3: see how he doesn't go for like minimum forty.
- 9:21Speaker 4: Yeah, he's like an I mean, I don't know. I
- 9:23Speaker 4: don't want to get crazy with it, but like in
- 9:25Speaker 4: this spot, if like DK Pricing came out like a
- 9:30Speaker 4: half hour before Locke and it was like in this
- 9:33Speaker 4: spot with all these guys out for Oka, see presuming
- 9:36Speaker 4: Chet is out again, he's like an eighty five hundred
- 9:38Speaker 4: KA player in this spot, which is nothing to say,
- 9:40Speaker 4: but it's true.
- 9:42Speaker 6: YEP, definitely believe that.
- 9:44Speaker 3: So it's really just Jaylenfrey or did you have any
- 9:46Speaker 3: other interests in like Shay or like aj Mitchell, jere
- 9:50Speaker 3: McCain and anything like that.
- 9:52Speaker 4: So SGA to me is strictly a spend up to
- 9:54Speaker 4: be contrarian option here, and like the appeal comes from
- 9:57Speaker 4: the ownership. At the end of the day, we're playing
- 9:59Speaker 4: in ownership game, and he's going to be like one
- 10:02Speaker 4: percent owned, like real low owned. So whenever you get
- 10:07Speaker 4: a player of his upside and it's not like he
- 10:09Speaker 4: can't smash here, and it wouldn't be the craziest, Like
- 10:13Speaker 4: it wouldn't be crazy if Brooklyn loses by twelve here
- 10:16Speaker 4: and this game is more competitive throughout than it's expected
- 10:20Speaker 4: to be in a situation like that, if you get
- 10:22Speaker 4: chet out as well and you get full SGA minutes
- 10:26Speaker 4: at like no ownership, I could see the case for
- 10:29Speaker 4: him in tournaments. If I were playing one fifty, I
- 10:31Speaker 4: wouldn't hate getting over the field I'm him, especially because
- 10:33Speaker 4: Jokic is in a big block spot. There's block concerns everywhere,
- 10:37Speaker 4: So that's my interest in SGA.
- 10:40Speaker 5: Tough to like.
- 10:40Speaker 4: Prioritize him in single entry. What's your take on a
- 10:43Speaker 4: J Mitchell here?
- 10:45Speaker 3: Uh, A little surprised that he's getting as much ownership
- 10:47Speaker 3: as he is, but I guess good matchup. He's been
- 10:50Speaker 3: starting lately, solid minutes. I just think that this would
- 10:53Speaker 3: probably be a spot where they prefer to have him
- 10:55Speaker 3: in like the mid twenties versus upper twenties, just a
- 10:57Speaker 3: spot we you don't really need him as much against Brooklyn.
- 11:00Speaker 6: But I could be wrong.
- 11:01Speaker 3: I mean, he's been a guy wh've been attacking since
- 11:04Speaker 3: he returned pretty much. I think that he's just too
- 11:06Speaker 3: cheap at you know, he's probably more of like a
- 11:09Speaker 3: near six K player, I would say, so, I'm not
- 11:12Speaker 3: I don't love it, but I'm okay with it. I
- 11:14Speaker 3: think there's probably better point guard options, and you know,
- 11:17Speaker 3: as we gets like the Wolves game, there'll be some
- 11:19Speaker 3: better options. So I'm neutral on him. But yeah, I
- 11:21Speaker 3: love love jay Lynn Williams tonight.
- 11:24Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of agree with you on aj Mitchell.
- 11:25Speaker 5: Like I get it. I think he's a solid plant
- 11:27Speaker 5: five K.
- 11:29Speaker 4: I don't know if he has the slate breaking upside
- 11:31Speaker 4: that I think some of the other guys like you
- 11:33Speaker 4: mentioned on Minnesota might have.
- 11:35Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, next game Portland at Indiana. The other
- 11:40Speaker 3: game with a big I mean not as big blow concerns.
- 11:42Speaker 3: I think Portland's favored by thirteen here, so definitely potential
- 11:47Speaker 3: for blowout. I don't really necessarily think that Portland is
- 11:49Speaker 3: deserving of this because they just are not that good
- 11:51Speaker 3: of a team in my opinion. But there's a million
- 11:54Speaker 3: questionable tags on the Pacers side of things.
- 11:57Speaker 6: I think it's just.
- 11:57Speaker 3: A situation where you wait to see who's in and
- 11:59Speaker 3: who's out. If I had to guess, I would think
- 12:02Speaker 3: the Vets that played last night are probably missing. So
- 12:05Speaker 3: like Nemhard, Nie Smith, Zubach Tj, I feel like some
- 12:08Speaker 3: combination of those guys are out. They're home tonight, so
- 12:11Speaker 3: all their g leaguers will probably be playing, and I
- 12:15Speaker 3: just don't really know enough about them. I've seen Jalen
- 12:17Speaker 3: Slosson as a guy that has done well recently, so
- 12:20Speaker 3: i'd be interested in him at four K. But yeah,
- 12:24Speaker 3: just gonna be kind of just waiting to see what
- 12:27Speaker 3: happens with the indie stuff because I don't really have
- 12:29Speaker 3: a strong lean right now. But Portland definitely in play here.
- 12:32Speaker 3: I think Denny is one of the better spend ups
- 12:33Speaker 3: on the entire slate tonight in a great matchup. I mean,
- 12:36Speaker 3: look what og and Josh Hart just did against them.
- 12:38Speaker 3: I think there's no way that Denny doesn't at least
- 12:41Speaker 3: have a good too elite game here, But yeah, what
- 12:43Speaker 3: are you looking at this one?
- 12:45Speaker 4: So my big problem with Denny, and we'll just start
- 12:47Speaker 4: right there. And I like him here, but I feel
- 12:50Speaker 4: like I like him more in cast games than I
- 12:52Speaker 4: do in tournaments. He just hasn't sown massive upside in
- 12:56Speaker 4: a while, and I hate to be a victim of that,
- 12:58Speaker 4: and it would shock me if he gets there against Indiana.
- 13:02Speaker 4: But he's been playing full minutes, he's been in good spots,
- 13:06Speaker 4: and he hasn't shown like the sixty DK point upside
- 13:09Speaker 4: that you need from him at this price in a while.
- 13:13Speaker 5: I know he was hurt a while, so.
- 13:15Speaker 4: He hasn't played like a ton of games since then,
- 13:17Speaker 4: but they're healthy at ownership. I'm more interested in Clinging
- 13:22Speaker 4: because he's not getting love, and I get it. His
- 13:27Speaker 4: minutes are sketchy right now for an eight K player,
- 13:30Speaker 4: but his upside is still like exactly where it was
- 13:33Speaker 4: two games ago when he was really chalky. And he's
- 13:37Speaker 4: been good like again minutes volatility the past couple of games,
- 13:41Speaker 4: but two games ago he put up sixty plus fantasy points.
- 13:45Speaker 4: Clinging is the guy like a lot in tournaments. Harder
- 13:48Speaker 4: to get to him at center at that full price tag,
- 13:53Speaker 4: but again at his you know, ownership and an upside
- 13:57Speaker 4: kind of combination. I like him a lot and get
- 14:00Speaker 4: me wrong, like I understand Danny, but at ownership, I
- 14:03Speaker 4: just think there's other guys I like more in tournaments personally.
- 14:06Speaker 4: Maybe you'll you'll convince me otherwise That's how I stand out.
- 14:10Speaker 4: Robert Williams, I think gets a good amount of ownership
- 14:13Speaker 4: if he plays, just because he's been really really good
- 14:16Speaker 4: at this price tag. If he's out, I like clinging
- 14:19Speaker 4: even more even though it didn't matter last game. Yeah,
- 14:22Speaker 4: I'm kind of with you, Like Portland shouldn't be a
- 14:25Speaker 4: thirteen point road favored against anyone, but India is bad,
- 14:30Speaker 4: so you're gonna want Portland here, And maybe they're just
- 14:34Speaker 4: you know, Portland is just not good enough that they're
- 14:36Speaker 4: better from a DFS perspective in this spot because maybe
- 14:39Speaker 4: they let Indiana hang around more than they should, so
- 14:43Speaker 4: someone a few guys are likely to get there from Portland.
- 14:47Speaker 5: They're healthy.
- 14:47Speaker 4: So it's like hard to pinpoint exactly for me other
- 14:50Speaker 4: than I like Clinging a lot in tournaments.
- 14:52Speaker 5: Indiana is just too tough to break down right now.
- 14:56Speaker 3: Like you, you're definitely always on clinging. I think you'd
- 14:59Speaker 3: get him right more often than not, so I'll definitely
- 15:01Speaker 3: have to bump him up a little bit.
- 15:03Speaker 4: I don't know exactly what to make of, like the
- 15:05Speaker 4: minutes volatility the past couple of games. Is there any like,
- 15:08Speaker 4: do you have anything on that you're good with stuff
- 15:10Speaker 4: like that?
- 15:11Speaker 3: Well, last game, he did get into foul trouble pretty early,
- 15:14Speaker 3: like I think like halfway through the second quarter he
- 15:17Speaker 3: picked up his third foul, and then like four minutes
- 15:19Speaker 3: into the second half picked up his fourth, and then
- 15:22Speaker 3: they just I don't I don't really think that they
- 15:24Speaker 3: should have set him out personally, because they could have
- 15:27Speaker 3: just kept him in there and blew out the game
- 15:29Speaker 3: and then like he just doesn't have to play the
- 15:31Speaker 3: fourth quarter. And then yeah, they ended up coming back
- 15:33Speaker 3: a little bit, and then he plays the fourth and
- 15:35Speaker 3: doesn't really do much. So it was just kind of
- 15:37Speaker 3: lose lose momentum. So it kind of definitely hurt me.
- 15:40Speaker 3: I played him a ton that night, but yeah, I
- 15:42Speaker 3: was just mainly foul concerns for him.
- 15:44Speaker 4: Yeah, you had the worst combination of foul concerns plus blowout.
- 15:48Speaker 3: Yeah, luckily the Nets did come back a little bit
- 15:52Speaker 3: in that game, so he got out there again, but
- 15:53Speaker 3: didn't really do much in the fourth. It's just like
- 15:56Speaker 3: you lose momentum when you miss your first rotation, like
- 15:59Speaker 3: it really hurts.
- 16:01Speaker 5: I totally agree.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Yeah, Jake, we will be discussing baseball pretty soon here.
- 16:08Speaker 3: Probably have an announcement sometime next week on baseball. Appreciate
- 16:12Speaker 3: that stay off my grass yeh, scoot could Yeah, I
- 16:17Speaker 3: could definitely see. I think somebody on Indie is having
- 16:19Speaker 3: a good game here. I feel like this could be
- 16:21Speaker 3: a spot where like a random too many Camara explosion game,
- 16:26Speaker 3: just because the Pacers are so like, especially if they're
- 16:30Speaker 3: losing all these guys like their actual NBA players, They're
- 16:32Speaker 3: gonna be like, it's just a lack a team that
- 16:36Speaker 3: doesn't have a ton of talent, and I think they
- 16:39Speaker 3: could be like turn the ball over a ton giving
- 16:40Speaker 3: up easy blocks. I definitely could see something like cleaning
- 16:43Speaker 3: with like three steals four blocks too, money with like
- 16:45Speaker 3: four or five steals something like that.
- 16:48Speaker 4: Yeah, totally, man, I'm hesitant on Tomara or a Kamara
- 16:53Speaker 4: well always, but especially after that one night where I
- 16:55Speaker 4: told you, like, man, I almost played him and then
- 16:58Speaker 4: I didn't, and he looked like he was gonna go
- 17:01Speaker 4: insane that night. And I don't even think he ended
- 17:03Speaker 4: up with like that good of a score, which shows
- 17:05Speaker 4: you like kind of who he is, Like he can
- 17:07Speaker 4: get there in a spot like this, for sure, but
- 17:11Speaker 4: strictly like a play for upside and tournament type of spot,
- 17:14Speaker 4: no doubt.
- 17:15Speaker 3: I think that was the game against Houston where he
- 17:17Speaker 3: started off like four for four from three in like
- 17:19Speaker 3: the first quarter with.
- 17:21Speaker 5: Like four deals.
- 17:23Speaker 4: Okay, so he had a good score that game, but
- 17:25Speaker 4: he had like twenty eight in the first quarter. Like
- 17:27Speaker 4: I was literally I couldn't even like, I couldn't do
- 17:30Speaker 4: anything but like watch that game and look at my
- 17:32Speaker 4: phone watching his score go up.
- 17:34Speaker 5: It hurts so bad.
- 17:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember Ritax and I was like, dude, he's
- 17:38Speaker 3: flame throwing right now.
- 17:39Speaker 5: Yes, those were your exact words.
- 17:41Speaker 3: Actually, yeah. Yeah, so good good spot for Borland here.
- 17:45Speaker 3: I really solid team total. I definitely think that these
- 17:47Speaker 3: guys are very much in play. Denny is my personal favorite.
- 17:50Speaker 3: It sounds like you're pretty high and clinging, So do
- 17:52Speaker 3: with that with what you will. Next game, we have
- 17:55Speaker 3: Toronto at Chicago. This one should be a fun game
- 17:58Speaker 3: because Chicago has been running a really rotation and they've
- 18:02Speaker 3: been sitting concepts in a lot. I feel like it's
- 18:05Speaker 3: this says left fibular head contusion. Somebody even sure what
- 18:09Speaker 3: that really means. But Isaac Carrow doubtful, Simon stillau Ja,
- 18:12Speaker 3: and Ivy is still out. Then Sexton's questionable. I think
- 18:15Speaker 3: they'll probably end up sitting him out again just because
- 18:17Speaker 3: I think he's They probably want a tank and he's
- 18:19Speaker 3: a little too good for this team. And then the
- 18:23Speaker 3: Toronto side pretty healthy. Just know Colin Murray, Boyles, Trace
- 18:26Speaker 3: Jackson Davis is in therees onely mean too much, but
- 18:28Speaker 3: playing their guys pretty heavy minutes as well, and I
- 18:31Speaker 3: think this is a great spot for them. I think
- 18:34Speaker 3: a lot of these guys are very much in play.
- 18:37Speaker 3: But I'll let you let you kick things off here.
- 18:39Speaker 3: Toronto at Chicago.
- 18:42Speaker 4: Yeah, so Toronto is definitely in the better spot. But
- 18:45Speaker 4: I'm gonna start off with the Chicago guy, and that's
- 18:48Speaker 4: Josh Giddy.
- 18:49Speaker 5: I get it.
- 18:50Speaker 4: Spot's not good. He's priced up to ninety nine hundred.
- 18:55Speaker 4: There's something to be said for a guy that's playing
- 18:58Speaker 4: massive minutes.
- 18:59Speaker 5: Let's put up six plus.
- 19:00Speaker 4: Fantasy points in four straight games under ten k a projected.
- 19:06Speaker 4: I mean, Sabers got him under one percent owned. No
- 19:09Speaker 4: matter where you look, it's low owned. It's not going
- 19:12Speaker 4: to be that low. I'm playing Giddy and those type
- 19:16Speaker 4: of ownership numbers like, I don't even care that he's
- 19:19Speaker 4: not projected great at that price tag. I think he's
- 19:21Speaker 4: way under projected. I don't care about the tough spot
- 19:25Speaker 4: as it stands. Right now, I'm playing Giddy. I want
- 19:27Speaker 4: to know you're taking on Giddy first and foremost.
- 19:30Speaker 6: I agree.
- 19:30Speaker 3: I mean, he definitely shouldn't be in single digits. I mean,
- 19:33Speaker 3: just look at what he's done lately, six x this
- 19:35Speaker 3: price tag, basically every game in his last four triple
- 19:39Speaker 3: double machines.
- 19:39Speaker 6: I'm with you.
- 19:40Speaker 3: They just Billy don't even wants to play him a lot.
- 19:43Speaker 3: He's been playing great, shooting the ball a lot better.
- 19:45Speaker 6: So I'm with you.
- 19:45Speaker 3: I think that he should have to be higher on
- 19:47Speaker 3: than he is so I'll get to him. But yeah,
- 19:49Speaker 3: I mean, if there was a spot for him to underperform,
- 19:52Speaker 3: I feel like it could be this one.
- 19:53Speaker 5: I don't really I agree.
- 19:55Speaker 3: Toronto is like a great defense, but he also went
- 19:57Speaker 3: off against the Clippers. I mean, Clippers will probably better defensively.
- 20:01Speaker 4: And it's the ownership, Like, yeah, you're right if this,
- 20:04Speaker 4: if you were getting the same ownership he were getting
- 20:06Speaker 4: last late or even half that, I'd be like, okay,
- 20:08Speaker 4: Like I might play to the spot more and say
- 20:10Speaker 4: I'm not gonna get to him there because he's expensive
- 20:12Speaker 4: and it's not a good spot. But he's not getting
- 20:14Speaker 4: any ownership. And while I don't believe that, like he
- 20:18Speaker 4: won't be one percent owned. If he's five percent on,
- 20:21Speaker 4: that's way too low. If he's ten percent on, that's
- 20:23Speaker 4: way too low in my opinion. So as it stands
- 20:26Speaker 4: right now, he's a priority for me, and I know
- 20:28Speaker 4: there's a lot of opportunity cost in rostering him at
- 20:32Speaker 4: like almost ten k, like on a yok At slate
- 20:34Speaker 4: Jalen Johnson, et cetera. He's just been good enough for
- 20:37Speaker 4: me where I want to play some of him at
- 20:40Speaker 4: least at this ownership levels or this ownership.
- 20:44Speaker 5: Level, I should say.
- 20:44Speaker 4: I want to comment on what Britney said in chat.
- 20:47Speaker 4: She said, I feel like some of these tanking teams
- 20:49Speaker 4: play hard for pretty hard for thirty six minutes and
- 20:51Speaker 4: that drives the good teams a bit more. I totally agree,
- 20:54Speaker 4: but it's about finding like when those teams do that,
- 20:56Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like some games they do,
- 20:58Speaker 4: some games they don't. It's really hard to know when
- 21:02Speaker 4: they're gonna play harder, when they're going to play their
- 21:03Speaker 4: guys more. Best example I can give them that as
- 21:06Speaker 4: the Kings. Sometimes they play their main guys pull minutes.
- 21:09Speaker 4: Sometimes they just don't. So it's there's kind of no
- 21:13Speaker 4: rhyme or reason in that stuff. And then mid March MBA,
- 21:16Speaker 4: you're just seeing more and more of it. As far
- 21:18Speaker 4: as like this game goes, Toronto does look like the
- 21:21Speaker 4: better spot, and their price tags look pretty good here
- 21:25Speaker 4: Scottie Barnes affordable at eighty four hundred, RJ Barrett seventy
- 21:29Speaker 4: three hundred. I could see playing Giddy and then one
- 21:33Speaker 4: or two of these Toronto guys. And I also think
- 21:36Speaker 4: Jamal Shedd at thirty five hundred looks like a good
- 21:39Speaker 4: value play. I don't love it at ownership, but he's
- 21:41Speaker 4: too cheap in a good spot. So yeah, I think
- 21:43Speaker 4: getting exposure to this game makes a lot of sense.
- 21:47Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like every time Brandon Ingram suits up
- 21:49Speaker 3: against the Bulls, he just goes off for fifty plus.
- 21:51Speaker 3: I feel like he's the guy I really want to
- 21:53Speaker 3: get to and no Isaia Korro. He's probably the last
- 21:58Speaker 3: solid defender that the Bulls have. Should put him in
- 22:00Speaker 3: a really good spot. So I'm pretty high on Braindon
- 22:03Speaker 3: Ingram tonight. Usually not high on him.
- 22:06Speaker 4: It's my biggest problem with Toronto is what it always is.
- 22:09Speaker 4: It's hard to decipher between Barrett, Barnes, Ingram, even Pearl.
- 22:14Speaker 5: Right now. I liked that you shouted out Ingram because
- 22:17Speaker 5: I'll ride with you there.
- 22:19Speaker 6: Yeah, he's he's been great.
- 22:20Speaker 3: I think he's averaged like thirty two points per game
- 22:22Speaker 3: against the Bulls this season, just crushing them. I mean yeah,
- 22:26Speaker 3: the pertal, his minutes are all the way back, huge
- 22:28Speaker 3: game against Detroit. I I mean, I I feel like
- 22:32Speaker 3: he's got to be a pretty solid play tonight. I mean,
- 22:35Speaker 3: this is the exact spot you fire up a guy
- 22:36Speaker 3: like Pearl. We can get a ton of rebounds, easy
- 22:39Speaker 3: rim scoring. So I'm pretty yeah, I'm pretty cool on
- 22:42Speaker 3: all of these Toronto guys. I think if I had
- 22:44Speaker 3: to rank it, I would probably be Ingram, Perle, Barrett
- 22:49Speaker 3: Barnes quickly as like the main starting five guys, how
- 22:53Speaker 3: do you have it?
- 22:56Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's all really close at their price tags.
- 22:59Speaker 4: I'll grow, I'll go Ingram, I'll go Ingram Barnes, Barrett
- 23:04Speaker 4: Purtle too. But it's like really close because I don't know,
- 23:07Speaker 4: I could see Purtle being first there. Like, I think
- 23:10Speaker 4: it's very intertwined, and honestly, I think this is a
- 23:13Speaker 4: spot where you could lean into. I don't think you
- 23:15Speaker 4: have to, because there's other good spots on this slate,
- 23:18Speaker 4: but I think you could because all of the main
- 23:22Speaker 4: Toronto guys we just talked about, like, I think they're
- 23:26Speaker 4: priced correctly for like their median outcome here, but I
- 23:29Speaker 4: think they all have big upside in this spot, and
- 23:32Speaker 4: there are outcomes where like Toronto, just like nukes, not
- 23:36Speaker 4: even necessarily a blowout like Chicago could even be somewhat competitive,
- 23:40Speaker 4: but a bunch of Toronto gets there, so certainly interested
- 23:45Speaker 4: in the raps here.
- 23:47Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like the Bulls are all. They've been
- 23:49Speaker 3: in a ton of shootout games lately. I mean the Warriors,
- 23:52Speaker 3: those one hundred and thirty one, twenty four, one, twenty six,
- 23:55Speaker 3: one ten against Sacramento one thirty one forty two against
- 23:58Speaker 3: the Lakers, like should be a very appealing game environment
- 24:02Speaker 3: As a whole, I feel like you'd be pretty smart
- 24:04Speaker 3: to get one of two of these guys or get
- 24:07Speaker 3: exposure to a lot of these guys. I would say
- 24:08Speaker 3: it's not like a mid one situation, but I feel
- 24:11Speaker 3: very strongly that this is probably the team that has
- 24:14Speaker 3: at least one guy.
- 24:15Speaker 6: Doing really well tonight.
- 24:17Speaker 5: I totally agree.
- 24:19Speaker 3: All right, cool, next game is my Utah Jazz heading
- 24:23Speaker 3: to Minnesota take on the antless and NAS red lists Timberwolves.
- 24:29Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you got this is a spot where
- 24:31Speaker 3: it's like, this is one I would make a mid
- 24:32Speaker 3: one rule of for Minnesota. For one, they're in such
- 24:36Speaker 3: a good matchup against Utah dead last and defense over
- 24:40Speaker 3: the last few weeks, I believe I think they maybe
- 24:44Speaker 3: not that last, but they're down there obviously team that
- 24:46Speaker 3: we always pick on, and they've been really getting beat
- 24:49Speaker 3: everywhere around the rim.
- 24:51Speaker 6: They've been a huge three point final all season long.
- 24:53Speaker 3: But Minnesota, they just run things so tight, and now
- 24:58Speaker 3: you're losing your back up four, back up five. Don't
- 25:02Speaker 3: really think that they're gonna go deep into the bench
- 25:04Speaker 3: so it's just gonna go more to Kyle Anderson and
- 25:06Speaker 3: Bones Highland. I mean, these guys are all very very
- 25:08Speaker 3: strong plays. I'm gonna be playing a ton of these guys.
- 25:12Speaker 6: Uh, I don't really.
- 25:14Speaker 3: Have like a take on who's the best because you
- 25:16Speaker 3: have the price ranging all the way from eight K
- 25:18Speaker 3: down to four point or down to four K guys
- 25:20Speaker 3: that I'm gonna be playing. So it's really just wherever
- 25:22Speaker 3: they fit is gonna gonna be how I fit them
- 25:25Speaker 3: into my lineups. But yeah, what are you looking on
- 25:27Speaker 3: the Minnesota side of things? And anything on Utah?
- 25:31Speaker 4: Really hard not to play at least a couple of
- 25:32Speaker 4: these Minnesota guys, Like at least a couple between to
- 25:37Speaker 4: Soon Move, Bones and Randall, Like those three look like
- 25:42Speaker 4: priorities for me. They're just not priced correctly for this
- 25:47Speaker 4: spot for and to be out Like then you throw
- 25:51Speaker 4: on nasebying out, Like, yeah, I'm gonna play to Soon,
- 25:54Speaker 4: Move Bones and Randall Anderson, I like, I think he's
- 25:59Speaker 4: a little bit valiatile, but he's not gonna get a
- 26:00Speaker 4: ton of ownership, so he's certainly someone I want exposure to.
- 26:04Speaker 5: Devincenda Devincenza absolutely killed me last night. But man like.
- 26:09Speaker 4: Better spot. I think he has upside in this spot,
- 26:15Speaker 4: you know, more than ownership implies. So he's also someone
- 26:19Speaker 4: I'm really interested in. I think, like Toronto, you can
- 26:22Speaker 4: totally lean into Minnesota here and play a bunch of
- 26:25Speaker 4: these guys. They all look good. I feel like Bones
- 26:29Speaker 4: is my favorite, just because he's so cheap and any
- 26:32Speaker 4: game it's hard to see him not getting there in
- 26:34Speaker 4: like any game script. But I like all of them,
- 26:37Speaker 4: and I think you're gonna need Minnesota here, like no
- 26:41Speaker 4: doubt about it.
- 26:44Speaker 3: Man, The DANCEA game was so odd. I was watching
- 26:47Speaker 3: like the first quarter that one, and he tried to
- 26:50Speaker 3: take off from like the middle of the paint to
- 26:53Speaker 3: dunk over ohso Igadaro and just completely missed it. I
- 26:57Speaker 3: think his momentum was just screwed since then, I mean,
- 27:00Speaker 3: oh for eight from the field, was just missing easy layups.
- 27:04Speaker 3: Just tough, tough game for him. But if there was
- 27:05Speaker 3: ever a spot for him to bounce back, it would
- 27:07Speaker 3: be against a team like Utah where you can get
- 27:09Speaker 3: up a ton of threes. Anything you wanted to add there,
- 27:13Speaker 3: go ahead.
- 27:14Speaker 4: No, I just totally agree, Like obviously a little you know,
- 27:19Speaker 4: don't love his performance last night, but that's not going
- 27:22Speaker 4: to keep me from playing him tonight. I mean, upside
- 27:24Speaker 4: is still there, and he's going to be one of
- 27:26Speaker 4: the lower like he's going to be much lower on
- 27:27Speaker 4: than to soon move Bones or Randall.
- 27:30Speaker 5: Yep.
- 27:32Speaker 3: I think Rudy is probably the worst of the bunch,
- 27:35Speaker 3: just because he's so expensive or not so expensive, but
- 27:37Speaker 3: a little bit higher price than he probably should be
- 27:40Speaker 3: played a ton of minutes last night, got there was
- 27:43Speaker 3: beast on the rebounds. I mean, he's probably gonna do
- 27:45Speaker 3: that again here, but I would imagine his minutes are
- 27:47Speaker 3: probably like thirty two with and even with NAS that
- 27:50Speaker 3: I feel like they probably give Kyler Anderson more small
- 27:53Speaker 3: ball minutes, a little bit of a revenge game for
- 27:55Speaker 3: Kyle Anderson as well, if you guys recall he did
- 27:58Speaker 3: leave Utah kind of on weird terms, so I wouldn't
- 28:02Speaker 3: be surprised if there's a little bit more motivation factor.
- 28:04Speaker 3: But I agree with throwing Bones like he's say, pretty
- 28:07Speaker 3: much in any game environment because he's likely going to
- 28:10Speaker 3: be out there and blow out, likely playing a good
- 28:12Speaker 3: amount of minutes regular rotation, so it kind of sets
- 28:14Speaker 3: up perfectly for him. And then Randall is it looks
- 28:17Speaker 3: like he's back. I mean he had a good game
- 28:19Speaker 3: against Oka see game that they lost, but last night
- 28:21Speaker 3: ten for seventeen, like good like good efficiency from him.
- 28:26Speaker 6: So I'm yeah, I agree.
- 28:27Speaker 3: I think you're starting your lamps with like I owe
- 28:30Speaker 3: Bones Randall and then probably a fourth guy.
- 28:32Speaker 4: I would say, my only concern with Minnesota is the
- 28:35Speaker 4: block concern here, Like there are a bunch of games
- 28:40Speaker 4: that have big spreads tonight, so you can't like not
- 28:43Speaker 4: play Minnesota because of that.
- 28:44Speaker 5: But of all the games, like this one has just
- 28:50Speaker 5: as much.
- 28:51Speaker 4: Block concern as any of the other ones to me,
- 28:53Speaker 4: Like maybe okay see Brooklyn, but okay see missing a
- 28:58Speaker 4: bunch of their guys anyways, So like even if that
- 29:01Speaker 4: game does blow out, like the guys were playing are.
- 29:03Speaker 5: Likely to get there anyways.
- 29:05Speaker 4: Minnesota coming off a back to back, I think they
- 29:08Speaker 4: could just destroy this game early and some of their
- 29:12Speaker 4: main dudes might lose out in the second half. Like
- 29:15Speaker 4: I'm not not playing guys because of that, but it's
- 29:17Speaker 4: a concern for me for sure. Anyone on you tah,
- 29:19Speaker 4: you like only one guy I'm seeing?
- 29:22Speaker 3: H were you gonna say my guy Cody Williams or sensible.
- 29:26Speaker 5: Neither I was gonna say Anderson Garcia.
- 29:29Speaker 3: Oh, okay, yeah, he's a running out of games pretty soon.
- 29:32Speaker 3: So I mean, he played forty three against Sacramento.
- 29:35Speaker 5: It's the only reason I'm shouting him out. The forty
- 29:37Speaker 5: three minutes.
- 29:39Speaker 3: Yeah, it didn't do much. But they've also been playing
- 29:41Speaker 3: this bes Miyang guy. If anybody has any.
- 29:45Speaker 4: Reporter defensive stud at Yale, I think he was like
- 29:48Speaker 4: the two time IVY League Defensive Player of the Year
- 29:50Speaker 4: if I'm not mistaken.
- 29:52Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, interesting, I think they was he playing that
- 29:55Speaker 3: many mints because Collier had missed. I hadn't really been
- 29:58Speaker 3: keeping up with Jazz basketball as much lately.
- 30:01Speaker 5: What's crazy about him? And I don't know the answer
- 30:02Speaker 5: to question. His stat line is exactly the same in
- 30:05Speaker 5: both games he's played.
- 30:06Speaker 3: Yeah, like bizarre, Yeah, yeah, I do have interest in
- 30:12Speaker 3: Cody not really being like a game blog watcher, but
- 30:15Speaker 3: he's just playing so many minutes.
- 30:16Speaker 6: And I really think that they're.
- 30:18Speaker 3: Honing in on his development in the second half of
- 30:20Speaker 3: the season. They've been talking about getting him more on
- 30:22Speaker 3: ball usage and more secondary playmaking and kind of being
- 30:26Speaker 3: the like the the off ball scores. I think they
- 30:29Speaker 3: do really want to get him involved more, and they're
- 30:31Speaker 3: making a huge emphasis on him being a priority in
- 30:34Speaker 3: the second half. So I think that he's he's in
- 30:37Speaker 3: play for sure. There's one more thing I want to
- 30:41Speaker 3: say in Minnesota. Yeah, I think Jada McDaniels is a
- 30:44Speaker 3: really good play tonight. He's cooked the jazz basically every
- 30:47Speaker 3: time he's played them, and he's another guy that they
- 30:50Speaker 3: really need to come on towards the as you get
- 30:52Speaker 3: close to the playoffs. I think the last night was
- 30:53Speaker 3: a really good game for him. I could definitely see
- 30:56Speaker 3: something similar happening tonight. Shout out to help me who
- 31:04Speaker 3: it's looking to say? If my grass Cammy said his
- 31:07Speaker 3: buddy put him on the onto the show, so just
- 31:09Speaker 3: say up to him. And then another guy came over
- 31:11Speaker 3: from the old spot. Appreciate that.
- 31:15Speaker 5: Man, I'm gonna say, yeah, we're man.
- 31:18Speaker 4: I cannot believe you're hyping up a fifty seven Cody Williams,
- 31:21Speaker 4: but here we are. I mean, I get it like
- 31:25Speaker 4: he's gonna get full run regardless. I can't do it
- 31:28Speaker 4: at that price. But I can't really do much from Utah,
- 31:31Speaker 4: to be completely honest, It's just hard to get there.
- 31:34Speaker 4: On this slate where there's so many good plays, like
- 31:38Speaker 4: roster spots are at a premium.
- 31:40Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean that those. I think anything on
- 31:44Speaker 3: Utah is more of like a one to fifty max
- 31:45Speaker 3: type deal, and it's probably a MAX one situation.
- 31:48Speaker 4: Just in general, I am a kind of intrigued by
- 31:52Speaker 4: Basma and Bang. I'm not even actually sure how to
- 31:55Speaker 4: pronounce it. I'm usually good with names, I am not
- 32:00Speaker 4: with that one. But again, blowout possibilities here, even in
- 32:03Speaker 4: like not he's playing big minutes, so thirty seven hundred,
- 32:09Speaker 4: I like Minnesota a lot here, Like, I don't think
- 32:12Speaker 4: he's the craziest way to get different at like a
- 32:14Speaker 4: really cheap tag.
- 32:17Speaker 3: Yeah, two hundred more than Shed getting no ownership versus
- 32:21Speaker 3: like upper teams for Shed. So I think that's a
- 32:23Speaker 3: pretty pretty decent pivot right there.
- 32:26Speaker 4: Yeah, I totally agree, Like, I think Shed is the
- 32:28Speaker 4: better play, but it's not like Shed is like SHEDD
- 32:32Speaker 4: is not like a miss Price thirty five hundred dollars player.
- 32:36Speaker 4: He's just a little bit too cheap for the spot.
- 32:38Speaker 4: So I'm totally with that.
- 32:40Speaker 6: Yeah, all right.
- 32:44Speaker 3: Next game we will jump into is Clippers at Pelicans.
- 32:48Speaker 3: Crazy to see the Pelicans favorite here, but his home
- 32:51Speaker 3: game been playing really well with with the jounce Murray
- 32:55Speaker 3: out there. And then you also have a questionable tag
- 32:57Speaker 3: on Kawhi, which I feel like is probably the big
- 32:59Speaker 3: reason why they are favorite here. I think that they
- 33:01Speaker 3: aren't a back to back and they're probably gonna sit
- 33:03Speaker 3: Kawhi tonight and play Darius here, and then Darius sits.
- 33:07Speaker 6: Tomorrow, Kawhi is in tomorrow.
- 33:10Speaker 3: I think that's what's gonna be happening here. But I mean,
- 33:12Speaker 3: pretty solid game total. Repelicans have been providing us with
- 33:16Speaker 3: some really good game environments and GBP scores lately, so
- 33:20Speaker 3: I think that it's definitely a spot I want to
- 33:22Speaker 3: get into. But I'll let your kick things off your
- 33:23Speaker 3: clippers at Pelicans.
- 33:25Speaker 5: Yeah. So when I first looked at this slate, this
- 33:28Speaker 5: is actually.
- 33:29Speaker 4: The game I liked most from like a tournament perspective,
- 33:33Speaker 4: I think after breaking it down, I like the Toronto
- 33:37Speaker 4: Bulls game with like playing a bunch of Toronto and
- 33:39Speaker 4: then Giddy.
- 33:40Speaker 5: But I still like this game a lot.
- 33:42Speaker 4: And I'm also under the premise that Kawhi sits tonight,
- 33:44Speaker 4: which makes me like this game even more because in
- 33:47Speaker 4: that situation, I really like DG. Garland looking really good again,
- 33:53Speaker 4: and he we know how talented he is offensively. I
- 33:56Speaker 4: like this game tight Spread likely doesn't play tomorrow. I'm
- 34:00Speaker 4: in on Garland at seventy nine hundred, especially if Kauai
- 34:03Speaker 4: is out. If Kauhi is in, it's really hard for
- 34:06Speaker 4: me to get to anything on the Clippers like Kawai
- 34:08Speaker 4: himself would look best, but I'm kind of banking on
- 34:11Speaker 4: that he's out, and I like Garland a lot. I
- 34:14Speaker 4: also think like a guy like Jordan Miller, you know,
- 34:18Speaker 4: presuming Kawhi's everyone on LA would look better, but Garland
- 34:21Speaker 4: would be the main piece I like. And then from
- 34:22Speaker 4: the Pels like Dejonte is a guy I can always
- 34:26Speaker 4: play at seventy five hundred, solid solid look in all
- 34:30Speaker 4: fourmats here like playing thirty plus minutes in competitive games,
- 34:34Speaker 4: and I'm sure sooner rather than later he's gonna start
- 34:37Speaker 4: playing thirty three, thirty four to thirty five minutes because
- 34:41Speaker 4: he's that type of guy. So I like Dejonte here.
- 34:45Speaker 4: He's gonna get some ownership, but not a ton, so
- 34:47Speaker 4: he's definitely on my short list.
- 34:49Speaker 5: I think like Trey.
- 34:51Speaker 4: Murphy Zion Zion hasn't shown upside in Forever, but Trey
- 34:56Speaker 4: Murphy and again, like it's not like Zion doesn't have it.
- 35:00Speaker 4: I like this game, so there aren't necessarily there isn't
- 35:04Speaker 4: necessarily like one guy where I'm like, I need to
- 35:06Speaker 4: lock him in. But I like Garland. I like Murray
- 35:11Speaker 4: to a lesser extent. I like Murphy. We'll see how
- 35:15Speaker 4: things shake out. But how do you see this game?
- 35:18Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. I think Garland is a really
- 35:20Speaker 3: really strong play. Obviously would get a lot better if
- 35:22Speaker 3: Kawhi to miss, but he's coming on great as of late.
- 35:25Speaker 3: Minutes have been solid. Usage has been really good, but
- 35:29Speaker 3: shooting the ball a lot better. I mean four made
- 35:31Speaker 3: threes and four straight games five and the other one,
- 35:34Speaker 3: so he's been he's been cooking some pretty pretty cool
- 35:38Speaker 3: with Garland here. I think Miller is definitely in play
- 35:40Speaker 3: though he's had pretty strong usage off the bench. I
- 35:43Speaker 3: like him a good bit, especially if Kawhid to miss.
- 35:45Speaker 3: I think that put him in a really big spot.
- 35:47Speaker 3: And then you could make a case for like Derek
- 35:49Speaker 3: Jones Junior and Chris Dunn a little bit, probably not
- 35:52Speaker 3: as much undone, but I think Jones Junior would definitely.
- 35:55Speaker 6: Be in play. A little bit.
- 35:57Speaker 3: I saw our guy asking about Kobe's or Kobe Brown.
- 36:01Speaker 3: I think you probably mean Sanders because Brown is with Indie.
- 36:05Speaker 5: Now, but Brown is in play but in another game.
- 36:08Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Sanders got to be in play. Chris
- 36:12Speaker 3: Dunn loves Kobe Sanders. He called him a six' EIGHT demi.
- 36:15Speaker 3: GOD i was watching The street after a post game
- 36:17Speaker 3: show and he was on, there but hasn't really played
- 36:20Speaker 3: a ton. Lately BUT i think you would definitely get
- 36:22Speaker 3: a pretty big minutes up tick If kawhi rat a.
- 36:24Speaker 3: MISS i think you'd have to have interest somebody with
- 36:27Speaker 3: Small ford eligibility.
- 36:28Speaker 6: At three point THREE. K, YEAH i don't hate.
- 36:31Speaker 3: It basically echo everything you said On. PELICANS i Think
- 36:35Speaker 3: dejonte is probably my, favorite probably lower On, zion just
- 36:38Speaker 3: BECAUSE i haven't really seen it from him. LATELY i
- 36:41Speaker 3: don't really expect it to come here in this game in,
- 36:44Speaker 3: particular but.
- 36:46Speaker 6: He's not not in.
- 36:46Speaker 3: PLAY i would probably just rather bank on De Jontayre
- 36:49Speaker 3: murphy as the guys that hit a ceiling.
- 36:50Speaker 4: Game, yeah, exactly like if you're playing one fifty or
- 36:53Speaker 4: not taking him out of your. Pool but like it's
- 36:55Speaker 4: really hard to like lock him in in smaller field.
- 36:58Speaker 4: Stuff if you're, handbuilding we see at the Same.
- 37:00Speaker 3: Yeah all, right next, game another game with a pretty
- 37:05Speaker 3: big blowout Concern denver At. Memphis, YEAH i Mean memphis
- 37:11Speaker 3: is an x olt for. ME i just they got
- 37:13Speaker 3: enough healthy bodies. TONIGHT i guess if you wanted to,
- 37:16Speaker 3: play somebody would probably be Tied jerome just because he's
- 37:18Speaker 3: been an elite permitted producer this. Season BUT i don't
- 37:21Speaker 3: really THINK i want to go. There would rather just
- 37:23Speaker 3: spend down at point guard or spin up a little
- 37:25Speaker 3: bit for A Gully garland or de John Say. Murray but,
- 37:28Speaker 3: yeah Obviously jokic And jamal are in really really big spots.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Here No Aaron gordon, tonight so some minutes will open.
- 37:35Speaker 3: UP i See Spencer jones getting a little bit of.
- 37:39Speaker 3: Ownership Cam johnson's been playing much better as of. Late
- 37:43Speaker 3: this is a pretty good matchup for, him in particular
- 37:44Speaker 3: Because memphis does give up a ton of. Threes but,
- 37:47Speaker 3: YEAH i, MEAN i Think jokic is a exceptional spend up.
- 37:50Speaker 3: Tonight minutes should be close to full, here not a
- 37:55Speaker 3: huge blow out like The okac. Game BUT i mean
- 37:57Speaker 3: he's gonna be great from permanent. BASE i just don't
- 38:00Speaker 3: really know if you're gonna be if you need him
- 38:03Speaker 3: at this price. Tag but you have any thoughts on
- 38:05Speaker 3: That jokic is twelve point five kads a.
- 38:07Speaker 5: Night, yeah SO i Think yokic is the best bend up.
- 38:10Speaker 4: Option BUT i do think the law concern is real,
- 38:14Speaker 4: Here like the back to back concern isn't much for
- 38:16Speaker 4: me because he only played twenty five minutes last. Night
- 38:19Speaker 4: but even though the spread is a little bit tighter Than, brooklyn, Okay,
- 38:23Speaker 4: See like the reason THAT i think guys Like sga
- 38:27Speaker 4: are even in play in tournaments is BECAUSE i think
- 38:30Speaker 4: there are scenarios here Where jokic is not playing the
- 38:35Speaker 4: entire fourth Because denver just absolutely roles. Here that, Said
- 38:39Speaker 4: i'm not playing the slate as if that, Happens so
- 38:42Speaker 4: IF i can get To, Yolkic i'd like to get To.
- 38:44Speaker 4: Jokic i'm not buying That jamal is going to be
- 38:46Speaker 4: as owned As jokic, here like at, all especially after
- 38:50Speaker 4: the past two. Games we have value on this. SLATE
- 38:54Speaker 4: i Think jokic is going to be pretty like not highly,
- 38:58Speaker 4: owned like not sixty. Seventy BUT i think he's higher
- 39:01Speaker 4: owned Than sabers projecting right, now, PERSONALLY i Think jamal
- 39:04Speaker 4: is lower. Owned we'll see how that shakes. OUT i
- 39:08Speaker 4: Think Spencer jones is a fine, filler but that's it for. Me,
- 39:11Speaker 4: LIKE i don't view him as a GUY i like
- 39:13Speaker 4: want to, play just a fill in option THAT i
- 39:15Speaker 4: think you can play a little bit intrigued by A
- 39:19Speaker 4: Christian brown good game last. NIGHT i Think denver can
- 39:23Speaker 4: kind of play with their food in this. Spot SO
- 39:26Speaker 4: i could see a couple Of nuggets getting here for.
- 39:28Speaker 4: Sure they're a little bit, shorthanded really good, spot And
- 39:31Speaker 4: i'm with you On. Memphis the only guy would Be,
- 39:33Speaker 4: jerome but impossible to like prioritize. Him all those guys
- 39:37Speaker 4: that we mentioned, Earlier Dejonte, murray. ETC i like more than.
- 39:41Speaker 4: Him so just a contrarian option for, me But denver's
- 39:44Speaker 4: hard to.
- 39:44Speaker 6: Avoid, YEAH i definitely.
- 39:46Speaker 3: Agree that could be a spot where they just don't
- 39:48Speaker 3: play in the fourth. AGAIN i MEAN i was looking
- 39:50Speaker 3: at last night's game they Wax. PHILLY i MEAN i
- 39:54Speaker 3: can definitely see it happening here, again but none of
- 39:56Speaker 3: the starters played any fourth quarter.
- 39:58Speaker 4: Minutes, yeah so like it's Just memphis. Stinks it's again
- 40:03Speaker 4: Like i'm encouraged that they didn't. PLAY i have to
- 40:05Speaker 4: play the fourth quarter last, night but why would they
- 40:07Speaker 4: have to play?
- 40:08Speaker 5: Tonight?
- 40:10Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah SO i KNOW i could, Definitely i'm not
- 40:15Speaker 3: sure what to do With, denver kind of just going
- 40:16Speaker 3: to roll with. Projections BUT i Think jokic is easily
- 40:19Speaker 3: the best spend. Up just definitely concerned a lot about
- 40:22Speaker 3: the blow, up BUT i Think memphis is more than
- 40:24Speaker 3: capable of keeping it. Competitive then some of these other
- 40:27Speaker 3: games are going to blow.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Out.
- 40:28Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah well if that's the, case, then LIKE i
- 40:30Speaker 4: Think jokis is a priority play because the in those
- 40:35Speaker 4: type of. OUTCOMES i think he's got a likelihood of
- 40:37Speaker 4: just being a guy you absolutely need like eighty Plus
- 40:40Speaker 4: fantasy points well within.
- 40:42Speaker 5: The cards, here just because of the spot that he's.
- 40:44Speaker 4: In so if you Think memphis is is more likely
- 40:48Speaker 4: to keep it close than a bunch of these other,
- 40:49Speaker 4: teams THEN i think you just Play yokic and move.
- 40:51Speaker 6: On.
- 40:53Speaker 3: YEAH i mean they just like they have their guys,
- 40:54Speaker 3: Tonight jerome's.
- 40:55Speaker 6: Back that's a good.
- 40:57Speaker 3: Call, Yeah so THEY i think that THEY'RE i think
- 41:00Speaker 3: they're capable of keeping the game.
- 41:01Speaker 6: Closer in some of these other.
- 41:02Speaker 5: Blowouts it's In memphis two to your.
- 41:05Speaker 3: Point yeah, yeah so travel travel game for, Them SO
- 41:08Speaker 3: i mean they didn't play a, lot SO i think
- 41:10Speaker 3: that They'll we'll see these.
- 41:11Speaker 6: Guys play in the fourth. Quarter all.
- 41:14Speaker 3: Right last GAME i believe on the Slate atlanta At,
- 41:17Speaker 3: dallas another game with a lot OF i would say
- 41:21Speaker 3: some game stack. APPEAL i, mean this is a pretty solid,
- 41:23Speaker 3: total close enough. Spread love the spot For Jalen johnson
- 41:26Speaker 3: here in, particular but my Guy Neil Nika alexander walk coming.
- 41:30Speaker 6: Off of a career.
- 41:31Speaker 3: High was it forty ONE i believe Against? Orlando, yeah
- 41:36Speaker 3: forty one when nine to fourteen from three definitely would
- 41:40Speaker 3: not have drew that up Against, orlando usually a team
- 41:43Speaker 3: that is pretty good at limiting three point, Shooters dallas
- 41:46Speaker 3: IS i. WOULDN'T i don't know if they're necessarily one
- 41:49Speaker 3: of the best team best three point defenses in the,
- 41:51Speaker 3: league but they don't give up a Ton they're much
- 41:53Speaker 3: more attackable around the.
- 41:55Speaker 6: Rim So i'm.
- 41:56Speaker 3: Pretty high On Jalen johnson tonight as a spend. UP
- 41:58Speaker 3: i think he's up up there with uh With, jokic
- 42:02Speaker 3: AND i guess it's kind of, It LIKE i probably
- 42:06Speaker 3: prefer him Over Shaye. Tonight Maybe giddy is is kind
- 42:09Speaker 3: of more, comparable BUT i Think jalen's in a really
- 42:11Speaker 3: really good spot. HERE i like like these Uh atlantic
- 42:14Speaker 3: guys a ton BUT i talked to me in this.
- 42:16Speaker 3: One if you see anything on The dallas, side let me,
- 42:18Speaker 3: know they seem a little bit tougher to get to.
- 42:20Speaker 4: Here So i'm just gonna ask you straight, up like one,
- 42:23Speaker 4: lineup are you Playing Jalen johnson Or?
- 42:25Speaker 6: GIDDY i would probably Go Jalen, Tonight.
- 42:30Speaker 5: Okay Like i'm with.
- 42:33Speaker 4: YOU i Think jalen is like the better play on,
- 42:35Speaker 4: paper BUT i gotta roll With giddy at. Ownership like
- 42:38Speaker 4: that's also my hesitation On jokic is, like, Man i'm
- 42:42Speaker 4: scared to Fade yokic BECAUSE i think his upside is
- 42:44Speaker 4: so massive. Here BUT i think there's other builds that
- 42:47Speaker 4: look really, Good like there's there's a really good mid tier,
- 42:50Speaker 4: tonight And giddy's like kind of upper tier of. That
- 42:52Speaker 4: SO i think there's different ways to, build which is
- 42:55Speaker 4: WHY i like This slaton. Tournaments but, Yeah i'm with
- 42:57Speaker 4: you on this, game like kind of reminds me of The.
- 43:00Speaker 4: Clippers pals game where there isn't like one guy Where i'm,
- 43:05Speaker 4: LIKE i need to play, him BUT i could see
- 43:06Speaker 4: myself finding a bunch of guys.
- 43:08Speaker 5: Here Jalen, johnson you're a. GUY. Pj, washington your main.
- 43:15Speaker 4: Guy Naji, Marshall i'm really. SALTY i didn't text you
- 43:18Speaker 4: about him the other night because he was close to
- 43:20Speaker 4: making one of my lineups AND i didn't play him
- 43:23Speaker 4: and he went. Nuts he's playing good ball right. NOW
- 43:26Speaker 4: i like him. HERE i Think Cooper flag is like
- 43:29Speaker 4: at least interesting as a spend up to be contrarian. Option,
- 43:33Speaker 4: AGAIN i don't think there's any priorities from this. Game
- 43:36Speaker 4: and if you told me you weren't playing anything, HERE
- 43:39Speaker 4: i wouldn't fault. You but if you told me you
- 43:41Speaker 4: were playing four pieces, HERE i also wouldn't fault. You
- 43:44Speaker 4: so really intriguing spot for. Tournaments what's your take On
- 43:47Speaker 4: Naji marshall in this?
- 43:48Speaker 5: SPOT i like him.
- 43:50Speaker 3: Here, YEAH i think he's A he's definitely played sixty four.
- 43:53Speaker 3: Hundred it's a good price sage for. Him there was
- 43:55Speaker 3: like a stretch where he was ice cold from the
- 43:57Speaker 3: field and he even, said, LIKE i don't feel like,
- 43:59Speaker 3: myself but last couple of, games he's been really, good
- 44:02Speaker 3: getting more mix in on ball seven assists back to back,
- 44:04Speaker 3: Game So I'm i'm pretty high On, nausea and there's
- 44:07Speaker 3: definitely some MORE i think more ball handling and usage
- 44:10Speaker 3: could funnel to him Because flag will get the dice
- 44:13Speaker 3: In daniel's.
- 44:13Speaker 6: Assignment.
- 44:14Speaker 3: Now he doesn't really have like A kkewalk matchup, either
- 44:16Speaker 3: Because Nika Alexander walker is a pretty good defender in
- 44:18Speaker 3: his own. Right BUT i think you're it's probably better
- 44:22Speaker 3: to play nause over a guy Like flag just because
- 44:25Speaker 3: he's thirty five hundred cheaper showing similar. Upsides i'm pretty
- 44:30Speaker 3: pretty good with nause.
- 44:31Speaker 5: Tonight, yeah it's just so much easier to fit Than.
- 44:33Speaker 4: Flag You're you're, Like, you're there's just so much opportunity
- 44:37Speaker 4: costs on this slight when you're Playing Cooper. FLAG i,
- 44:39Speaker 4: mean the guys we just talked, About Jalen, Giddy yokic
- 44:42Speaker 4: become infinitely harder to play with a guy Like.
- 44:44Speaker 5: Flag.
- 44:45Speaker 3: Yep, yeah nause does have one of the better floaters
- 44:49Speaker 3: in the. GAME i like watching.
- 44:50Speaker 6: That.
- 44:52Speaker 3: Yeah that's that's all the, games unless there's anything else
- 44:54Speaker 3: you want to talk through in this. ONE i think
- 44:56Speaker 3: that we can close it up and get out of.
- 44:59Speaker 4: Here, NO i got to finish up the slate plan
- 45:02Speaker 4: for members excited for this slate. Tonight, again like not
- 45:06Speaker 4: a true sprint, slate but STILL i like these slates
- 45:09Speaker 4: with out The, west without The West coast, games just
- 45:12Speaker 4: easier to.
- 45:13Speaker 6: Watch, yeah for, SURE i need.
- 45:18Speaker 3: TO i haven't watched much of The West coast games,
- 45:20Speaker 3: lately BUT i need. TO i think there's a pretty
- 45:23Speaker 3: solid game tonight If i'm not. Mistaken, Yeah lakers At.
- 45:26Speaker 3: Houston that game is, huge AND i guess it's a
- 45:28Speaker 3: perfect time to shout out our. Guy Little neck will
- 45:30Speaker 3: have the showdown slate plan up for that. One but
- 45:34Speaker 3: a really big game for The Western conference. STANDINGS i
- 45:36Speaker 3: think That lakers could clinch the tiebreaker if they win this. Game,
- 45:41Speaker 3: yeah any any overall thoughts, though as we get closer
- 45:43Speaker 3: to the, playoffs what you've been seeing from some of these?
- 45:45Speaker 4: Teams, YEAH a little bit down on The cavs first and.
- 45:49Speaker 4: Foremost that's the first TEAM i think goes when you
- 45:52Speaker 4: asked me that, question.
- 45:53Speaker 5: Just because they don't look.
- 45:55Speaker 4: Great alan's been out longer than expected In, boston obviously
- 45:59Speaker 4: getting Healthy, tatum WHO i, mean at least for me.
- 46:03Speaker 5: Right, now like still best player in The.
- 46:07Speaker 4: EAST i, mean obviously there's the honest when he's fully,
- 46:10Speaker 4: healthy AND i Love Donovan, mitchell but a fully Healthy,
- 46:14Speaker 4: tatum which he's probably not yet right now but you
- 46:18Speaker 4: know soon will, be is. Scary especially with the Way
- 46:22Speaker 4: Jalen brown's. Playing i'm not sure any team in The
- 46:25Speaker 4: east can Be. BOSTON i Think cleveland's number, two but
- 46:30Speaker 4: that might be delusions of grandeur for. Me, honestly The,
- 46:32Speaker 4: WEST i still Give denver more of a shot THAN
- 46:35Speaker 4: i think the field. Does but, YEAH i Guess i'll
- 46:38Speaker 4: get your take on. This LIKE i was, TALKING i
- 46:40Speaker 4: think about this on Our monday. Show did you Hear
- 46:43Speaker 4: Fred Van vliet talk On San antonio about how people
- 46:46Speaker 4: just need to kind of slow down with you, know
- 46:48Speaker 4: crowning them that they've obviously been impressive but haven't done
- 46:52Speaker 4: anything in the. Playoffs i'm kind of with, him like we'll,
- 46:55Speaker 4: see but they haven't won anything in the. Playoffs AND
- 46:59Speaker 4: i think that the, game and usually in THE, nba
- 47:01Speaker 4: you kind of got to go through those bumps to
- 47:04Speaker 4: make it farther in the. Playoffs AND i don't think
- 47:07Speaker 4: San antonio is going to be an exception to. THAT
- 47:09Speaker 4: i know they've been, amazing they seemingly Have okac's. Number
- 47:13Speaker 4: i'm not buying them to come out of The, west are?
- 47:15Speaker 6: YOU i kind of.
- 47:17Speaker 3: AM i get what he's saying and what people say about,
- 47:20Speaker 3: that but, YOU i, mean you. Don't you don't Have
- 47:24Speaker 3: you can't get over the hump until you. Do like
- 47:26Speaker 3: eventually they're going TO.
- 47:27Speaker 2: Ti.
- 47:28Speaker 3: YEAH i, mean Like i've talked about it over the
- 47:30Speaker 3: last couple of, weeks like some of these teams that
- 47:32Speaker 3: they've been, playing and Their Eastern conference team Like, detroit
- 47:35Speaker 3: they really went all, out AND i feel like they're
- 47:36Speaker 3: treating those games like playoff games to get more experience
- 47:40Speaker 3: as they get closer to playoffs playing against really good
- 47:42Speaker 3: teams in the other. Conference SO i think, that, UH
- 47:45Speaker 3: i do think that The spurs can come out of The,
- 47:47Speaker 3: west BUT i do think it's gonna be really really
- 47:48Speaker 3: tough to get Past okay see.
- 47:52Speaker 4: Yeah And, denver just LIKE Playoffnxy. DENVER i know that
- 47:57Speaker 4: they can get Got they've they've, Been they've gotten got
- 48:00Speaker 4: more than they haven't obviously they just have the one,
- 48:02Speaker 4: title but still like a like presuming they're fully, healthy
- 48:08Speaker 4: there's no better two man game in the playoffs Than
- 48:10Speaker 4: yokich And, jamal AND i think they can beat.
- 48:12Speaker 3: Anyone, yeah definitely can't argue with. THAT i think they
- 48:16Speaker 3: need to Get they Need gordon and they Need Peyton watson.
- 48:18Speaker 3: HEALTHY i think that they'll definitely be much better with
- 48:21Speaker 3: those guys out, there because they the defense really falls
- 48:23Speaker 3: off a cliff in a big way when they don't
- 48:25Speaker 3: have one of those guys out.
- 48:26Speaker 4: THERE i totally. Agree but with both those guys, HEALTHY
- 48:29Speaker 4: i think they're really.
