- 0:32another NBA nine game slate today on February second. I got my guy,
- 0:38Hebrew Chetah in here with me. First time being with Hebrew. I don't
- 0:41know if we did a baseball show together, Hebrew. No, it's the
- 0:43first time we've done our NBA show together. We're looking forward to breaking down
- 0:47these nine games. Let's see the chat is already going at it talking about
- 0:50a pool party tonight. I don't know what the weather's are. Just like
- 0:53in Washington, DC, our Nation's capital. Man, that's going to be
- 0:55a rough to have a pool party there, Hebrew. Before a kick it

- 1:38bring you in Hebrew. How was your week? How's your Friday going?
- 1:41What's going on? Man? Yeah? Doing good. Obviously, this is
- 1:45our first time beyond the show together, so we got to do a little
- 1:48bit of little text stuff. Got the layout, the layover kind of messed
- 1:52up right now, if you want to get that thing figured out. But
- 1:56yeah, Friday's going well. Just got the sleigh plan of right before we
- 2:00we got on live. This is our first show together. We haven't done
- 2:04no MLB together just yet. Maybe we'll do some in the future, but
- 2:07we did. We talked a little bit at the beginning of the NFL season
- 2:10offline, got to know each other a little bit. But yeah, I'm
- 2:14really excited to talk about this slate. Been a good week over here with
- 2:17all the leader board winners. Obviously, Para Bay took down the leaderboard two
- 2:23to two and forty four on Tuesday, or Wednesday. I believe two nights
- 2:28ago I had a sixth place finish. Been kind of bubbling the cash line
- 2:31every other night, so hopefully we can build upon that. But yeah,
- 2:35pretty big, big slate, nine gamer, lots of injury news as per
- 2:38usual this time of year. Pretty big slate, changing news as well,
- 2:44some bigger names later in the slate, so we'll definitely break that down to
- 2:46the best of our ability. But yeah, exciting next couple of days,
- 2:51counting down to Arizona, about a little bit less than a week away now.
- 2:55Really excited to be out there with the shiping Nation fam, the d
- 3:00Jen crew and you know, hopefully meet some of the members out there,
- 3:02if any of you guys are going to be out there as well. Yeah,
- 3:06that's a good point. And do want to remind everybody in Chad this
- 3:08is the last Friday show just for next week. We will not have any
- 3:14shows Thursday Friday and then I do not believe there will be any quick hit
- 3:17videos that Hebrew normally does on the weekends, correct me if I'm wrong in
- 3:21that. Hebrew. But the Ship of Nation crew getting together, first time
- 3:23we've gotten together as a ship at Nation Family seven and a half months in.
- 3:28It's been awesome. If you're out in the Phoenix area next week,
- 3:31make sure you hit one of us up because we'll be out there, Like
- 3:35Hebrew said, with the dj In family as well. But if you don't
- 3:38have anything else, Heber, let's dive right in. We got nine games.
- 3:40Let's try to rock and roll through it. First came up on the
- 3:44slate two hundred and twenty seven and a half point total. We have the
- 3:46Miami Heat taking on these Washington Wizards in our nation's capital. The bag Man
- 3:52Marvin Bagley, the third He's out tonight at the center position. Duncan Robinson
- 3:57is out for the Heat. I think he's been out for a few games.
- 4:00This will be Badley's first game. Talk to me a little bit about
- 4:02this game. Josh Richardson went off last game. Who you got in this
- 4:05game? Any interest in this game? Let's talk about it. Yeah,
- 4:10big news. Miami got their first win after seven straight losses. They have
- 4:14a pretty good chance to build off of that performance in this matchup. Their
- 4:17offense has really been struggling. Defense has held up pretty nicely. Still one
- 4:21of the better rim protection teams in the league with Bam Oudebio down low,
- 4:26but they've been giving up a lot more three pointers as of late. They're
- 4:29running a very zone heavy scheme, so a lot of these off ball guys
- 4:31are getting it going against this Miami team. I did see Sean earlier in
- 4:35the Discord chat talking about it maybe being a pool day. Don't disagree with
- 4:41you. This is technically a pretty good matchup for the shooters on the Washington
- 4:45side of things. I'm not sure I can go there, just a little
- 4:47too shell shocked with all the late scratches with Jordan Poole this season and obviously
- 4:53him not really living up to expectations. But yeah, this should be a
- 4:57really good spot for the Miami Heat guys. BAM outa Bayo, great matchup.
- 5:00This is a matchup we've attacked all season long versus the Washington Wizards and
- 5:05their week rim defense. Daniel Gafford down low been a very beatable center with
- 5:10opposing center, so I like BAM tonight eight point four K. Jimmy Butler
- 5:15been carrying a pretty big offensive workload as well. With this team struggling over
- 5:17the last seven games, He's not really seen that big of a usage hit.
- 5:23BAM out of Bayo has been the biggest I guess loser you could say
- 5:27with the ter Rosier acquisition. With Jimmy Butler ty Hero getting healthier, the
- 5:31usage has come way down for him. But I don't want to overlook that
- 5:34for as great of a matchup as this is. But yeah, Jimmy Butler,
- 5:38his usage has been pretty solid since Rosier into the starting lineup. He
- 5:41said twenty five percent usage right over the past three games, top fifty plus
- 5:45draftings points in two of his last three games. Going to be matchup with
- 5:47Danny Avia tonight, which is a really easy matchup for him. Wizards are
- 5:50bottom six in DVP to opposing power forwards this season. He's up to fourteen
- 5:57drives per game and he's the Heat top rim scorer this season, so he
- 6:00should be able to get it going down low tonight. Seven point eight K
- 6:03pretty reasonable price sage for him as well, and then I don't mind the
- 6:08spot for Tyler Hero as well. Six point seven K strong matchup for essentially
- 6:12everybody on Miamily Heat on Miami. He's up to eleven drives per game and
- 6:16Wizards know it's here a defensive speaker, so I think that those be the
- 6:19three main guys I would consider. Now we're looking to get up to Terry
- 6:23Rozier at six point seven k. And then on the Wizard's side, I
- 6:26think the only people I'm keeping my playpool would be Kyle Kuzma and Tyas Jones.
- 6:30And then I guess if you want to leave Jordan Poole, five point
- 6:32six k is a pretty respectable price tage for him. Yeah. No,
- 6:36certainly understand that. A couple of questions I had for you, Uh,
- 6:41I mean, look at this Heat team. I mean I feel like a
- 6:43lot of these guys they played ten guys the other night. None of those
- 6:46guys played right around twenty five minutes. I mean, Josh Richardson put up
- 6:49an amazing stat line. I did not hear you mentioned his name. But
- 6:54at that price tag, you have any interest in Josh Richardson coming off that
- 6:58performance he had at only third twenty five hundred bucks? Any interest there?
- 7:04Yeah, I guess you can get there. I think it might be a
- 7:06little bit chasing, just with this team having so many mouse to feed.
- 7:12Offensively, obviously, Bam Butler hero Rosie are going to take up most of
- 7:15the usage. I wouldn't expect him to get up to double digit shot attempts,
- 7:19especially not double digit three point attempts on a night to night basis,
- 7:23I think that I would look to get away from that, especially if he's
- 7:26going to be gigs some more ownership. Point guard is a really loaded position
- 7:30tonight, so I don't really want to waste a spot on a spend down
- 7:31option like Josh Richardson personally. Yeah, no, certainly understand that. And
- 7:35that's why I don't like playing in Miami all the time, because you said,
- 7:39if they have a bunch of mouse de fees and it's tricky, and
- 7:41you know Jay Ridge, former Tennessee grade himself, I mean he's tough to
- 7:44predict. Last thing I want to talk about, or last two things by
- 7:47Loll Pool of Bally, I mean he shot at sixteen times the O of
- 7:50the night, granted that was without Jordan Poole. I have a little bit
- 7:54of interest in him. At forty two hundred, we do think Pool's gonna
- 7:57play. But if Pool were to sit, I think he's a good play
- 7:59and he's popular. Daniel Gafford also like Daniel Gafford at fifty nine hundred with
- 8:03Bagley out, I mean, I don't know who else they're going to play
- 8:05at center. I mean, maybe maybe they go small ball, but Kuzma,
- 8:09they are any interesting Gafford at fifty nine hundred, now that we know
- 8:11that there's twenty minutes up for grabs, now that Bagley's going to be out,
- 8:18Uh yeah, I don't mind it. It's just it's a really tough
- 8:20matchup for some of the interior guys. I could see Gafford just really getting
- 8:24played off the court in this game. But yeah, he's been He's been
- 8:26really solid when given the minutes, so I don't think that he's the worst
- 8:31play. I think that how they'll fill in the center minutes probably some Patrick
- 8:37Baldwin Junior. I don't know if Anthony Gill gets into the rotation. Yeah,
- 8:45I get I guess that's kind of how they would fill in those center
- 8:48minutes. But yeah, I wouldn't mind it. I'm kind of more so
- 8:52looking to the off ball shooters like Tys Jones, Kaal Kuzma, Jordan Poole
- 8:54type plays. I do agree with you on Ballockkulbali. He's been playing a
- 8:58lot of minutes. Eventually they're gonna just unleash him and he'll start playing a
- 9:01ton of minutes, so I don't think that he's the craziest value play at
- 9:05forty two hundred. Yeah, especially Pools. I agree with you. Moving
- 9:09on to the next game, we have the Los Angeles Clippers invading Detroit tonight,
- 9:13taking on these Pistons two hundred and thirty eight and a half point total.
- 9:16No Zubac, no Stu. We got new ones in the chat confused
- 9:22to me talking about Bagley and Durham and all sorts of things. Come on,
- 9:24new ones, get your backed together. Now we're on the Pistons.
- 9:28He likes a little bit of No, he wants to look at Durham because
- 9:35Stewart's out is what he came back and said, I agree with you.
- 9:37Talked to me about this game. We know the Pistons very bad guarding the
- 9:41basketball, especially the point guard. Talked to me about this game Hebrew and
- 9:46who you got? Yeah, I mean you said it is. This is
- 9:48just a huge mismatch. The Clippers have been one of the most efficient offenses
- 9:54over the past month or two, their fourth overall in the season in offensive
- 9:58rating since our second worst overall defense in the league, and they've been getting
- 10:01killed by lead ballhandlers all season long, there's second allowing the second most points
- 10:05to pick and roll ball handler's third worst in isolation defense, and dead last
- 10:09to pick and roll role men. So I think that James Harden, even
- 10:13at the elevated price tag a point AK, he's got a lot of upside
- 10:16in this matchup, and I think that he could go really overlooked in this
- 10:18range, which is why another one of the reasons why I don't really want
- 10:22to go down to Josh Richardson. I just think there's a lot of really
- 10:24solid spin up options at the point guard position tonight, and James Harden is
- 10:28definitely one of them. Yeah, I really like the spot for him,
- 10:33probably my favorite and only play on the Clipper side of things. I think
- 10:37if you want to get to Kawhi Leonard would not blame you. He's also
- 10:39up there at eight point AK. Yeah, nothing really like to say negative
- 10:45about his matchup, but I do like it a little bit better for James
- 10:48Harden. And then on the Pisson side, don't really want to get to
- 10:54any of these guys. I'm not a Kevin Knox guy myself. I think
- 10:58that James Wiseman, he steps in a little bit for backup center minutes,
- 11:01but the bottom could fall out pretty quickly on him. We did see Daniello
- 11:09Gallinari start the second half last last game for the injured Mike Muscala. So
- 11:13maybe if you want to get to Gallinari three three point three k, I
- 11:16don't think that is the worst play on the slate. But yeah, if
- 11:20you I mean Kate Cunningham obviously the main guy you want to look to.
- 11:26He's really cheap, cheap enough to consider regardless of this being a really terrible
- 11:30matchup. Yeah, I don't really have a lot of interest on the Detroit
- 11:33side of things. I probably wouldn't get there in less than twenty lineups.
- 11:37I would say, yeah, no, certainly understood. And in this game
- 11:41as a whole is not showing a whole lot of value over here on the
- 11:45solver, the partner that we use for our optimizer, so I could see
- 11:48that. I do like James Wiseman. I mean, Duran's you know,
- 11:52averaging right around thirty minutes, and somebody's got to get those other eighteen minutes.
- 11:56And at three k you know minute price, he can get blocks,
- 11:58he can get read certainly put the ball in the hoop if he gets it.
- 12:01Around there. So I don't mind Wiseman myself at three K, but
- 12:05I'm with you a little little, you know, not a ton of interest
- 12:07in those guys. Moving on to the next game. This one is going
- 12:11to be some DFS fireworks. We're almost up to a two hundred and fifty
- 12:15point total, right around two forty nine and a half. We have a
- 12:18healthy Tray young, a healthy KD, healthy Bill, you name it.
- 12:22I think the only question mark we're waiting on we talked about a little bit
- 12:26earlier. DeAndre Hunter is showing a questionable tag. Who you got in this
- 12:30game? I know you're gonna like some people in this game. You got
- 12:33my boy, Garrison Matthews, Gary Bird coming off a one rebound, four
- 12:37foul performance at three K. Any interest in him or any interest in anybody
- 12:41else in this game? Yeah, I don't think that would be getting to
- 12:45Gary Berts and I I mean, what a what a legendary performance six minutes
- 12:48total of one point two five fantasy points Skyts made out four fouls. Man,
- 12:52that's pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty pretty good. Nab you you
- 12:56said it. This is definitely one of the premier matchups on the night.
- 12:58This is one that I have circled definitely the one I'm most excited to talk
- 13:03about here. These are two teams that play with a really condensed rotation,
- 13:07each struggling defensively in certain areas. The Hawks kind of struggling all over the
- 13:11court. Their worst overall defense are the bottom four and defensive rating, bottom
- 13:16two rim defense, bottom three three point defense, and bottom three and transition
- 13:20defense. The Suns, on the other hand, they've been a team that
- 13:24I personally be looking to attack with the lead ball handlers. You know,
- 13:28I played played Lonnie Walker against them the other night. Ran really hot on
- 13:33the steals and the points with him, So you know, sometimes we get
- 13:37lucky with those type of low and value plays and other people were asking like,
- 13:39oh, what'd you see, Like what is the secret sauce? But
- 13:41I just I like the matchup for guards, and obviously you have to get
- 13:45a little bit lucky and things like that. But yeah, I definitely want
- 13:48to attack the Suns with lead ball handlers and shooting guards, point guards,
- 13:52those type of plays. But yeah, starting on the the Phoenix side of
- 13:56things, love this matchup for Devin Booker tonight. Don't really care that he's
- 14:01going to see a lot of Johnson Murray on defense. John Say has not
- 14:05really been the same defender that he was years past. Booker's playing great as
- 14:07of late. I believe he got Player of the Month in the Western Conference
- 14:11in the month of January, which is rightfully so. He's averaging average thirty
- 14:16points per game in the month of January. I think that he can get
- 14:18it done in any way tonight, so I really like him as a spend
- 14:22up option, probably one of my top overall spind up options on the night.
- 14:24Kevin Durant as well. Hawks are allowing the third most points to catch
- 14:28and shoot shooters this season. KD is one of the best Suns. The
- 14:31Sun's best option in that category should see a lot of Jalen Johnson defensively,
- 14:35and as much as I love Jalen Johnson as a talent, not that great
- 14:39of a defender. I think Kevin Durant could put up another really efficient scoring
- 14:43night, and the savings seven hundred dollars down from Booker to KD could definitely
- 14:46be very useful tonight. I think Euston Narkish could make your playpool as well.
- 14:50Six point six k They've the Suns have really let him go at times
- 14:54when he's had the matchup advantage. I think that he definitely will tonight with
- 14:58the Hawks being one of the worst overall ris defense in the in the league,
- 15:01and they're also allowing the seventh most points per game to pick and roll
- 15:05role mean, so I think that Nurkics could have a good, good game
- 15:07tonight from a scoring perspective. And then last one I would keep my playpool
- 15:11Bradley Beal. I think he could do some damage as an off ball catch
- 15:15and shoot guy. Also could could score well in transition with the Hawks giving
- 15:18up points to those types of players. The minutes have definitely been there for
- 15:22Beal, but the scoring has been been up and down. I think that
- 15:26this could be a pretty good bounced back spot for him, and I think
- 15:28that grayce Allen even is totally fine leaving your playpool at five point five K.
- 15:33And on the Hawks side, I'm really just looking to Tray Young here.
- 15:37I think that you can get to the John Ty Murray as well,
- 15:39but Tray Young, he's kind of kind of bounced back in a big way.
- 15:43Maybe he's got the you know, the All Star snub narrative. Missed
- 15:46the All Star Game for the second straight year while averaging twenty six points and
- 15:50ten assist I think that he could come out pretty aggressive tonight and this is
- 15:54a really good spot to attack for him. Going to see a lot of
- 15:56Grayson Allen defensively, and the Suns have been getting beat up by pick and
- 16:00roll ball handlers all season long. Tray is the top of the league in
- 16:04pick and roll offense, Suns bottom five in the league and DVP to point
- 16:10guards. I think that Trey has a really big night's night in nine point
- 16:11six K not looking at very much ownership as well, and then to Johnson
- 16:18Murray totally find pivot off of Tray fifteen hundred dollars cheaper. Gonna see Bradley
- 16:22Beal on defense, which should be a matchup he could take advantage of.
- 16:25Always like playing to john S Murray April one K not sure if he has
- 16:29the six x ceiling at that price tags, I think I'll probably just want
- 16:30to give to Tray Young. Yeah, mainly just looking at the guards on
- 16:36the Atlanta side and then the guys that I mentioned on the Phoenix side of
- 16:38things. Yeah, totally understood. Who do you get between Booker and and
- 16:44Trey Young? You know, relatively the same price, same position, both
- 16:48with great matchups. Last time this Hawks team took the court on a Friday
- 16:52night, they let some dudes score seventy three points, So not that that
- 16:56means much other than that they're terrible at defense, and Booker can obviously go
- 16:59for for seventy himself. We saw that last Friday night as well. So
- 17:02who you got, Murray or I'm sorry, Young or Booker. I'm gonna
- 17:07leave with Booker here. Yeah, I think that he just has a great
- 17:11night tonight. I'm gonna lean lean with him. But I like Trey Young
- 17:15very very close. It's very close between two, but I definitely lean Booker
- 17:18tonight. Yeah, I think I would agree with you. Our projections have
- 17:21it the other way around by a pretty significant margin, you know, five
- 17:23points. Last question I'll ask you is, uh, you know, should
- 17:27uh should Hunter miss DeAndre Hunter, who he's been banged up, you know,
- 17:32came back and played the other night minimal minutes. Who do you think
- 17:34benefits the most if if if he does miss or no, it would be
- 17:40no, it would be uh be Sadik Bay. He definitely got cut down
- 17:42well. He played thirty five minutes in that game. But who did he
- 17:48take mens from? Have you bogged On? Maybe uh bogged on or your
- 17:52boy Johnson? Maybe Johnson still played thirty five minutes. Yeah, I guess.
- 18:00I guess Bogdon would have been the guy that lost minutes to Deandra Hunter.
- 18:03I was expecting to be more of the Sadik Bay, but it's really
- 18:07it's we're talking about fifteen minutes. Likely he's going to be on a very
- 18:11strict minutes restriction with the knee injury. So even if he's in, I
- 18:15don't think that you're giving these guys too big of a negative doc. But
- 18:19it's just a slight bump. If you were to be out. Yeah,
- 18:23I think that it would probably just be bogged On as the one that's most
- 18:26affected. Yeah, I think what happened is my boy Gary Bird got taken
- 18:30away by Hunter coming back and took the sixteen minutes so he couldn't hit.
- 18:33But moving on to the next game, we'll leave it Gary Burr Alane another
- 18:37one that's going to be a highly contested game for a variety of different reasons.
- 18:41The main reason is it's a two hundred and forty seven and a half
- 18:44point total. We have Sabonus. So when I look today, I was
- 18:48shocked that he was the highest priced guy on the slate. But he's coming
- 18:52back to his old home. Pacers on the second night of a back to
- 18:56back with their best player on a minute restriction. Told me about this game,
- 19:00Sabonus showing good value there. Who do you got to this game?
- 19:04Talk a little bit about the injury news with the with the Pacers, with
- 19:08Miles Turner being questionable, Jaylen Smith being questionable, Matthan being questionable, and
- 19:14Halibert being questionable on that mint restricts. Talking me a little bit about this
- 19:17game. Yes, I'll start with the Pacers side of things, just because
- 19:22it's really tough to break down without knowing exactly who's going to be in or
- 19:26who's going to be out. Do you think that Tyres Haliburtn probably plays tonight,
- 19:32but gonna be on a on a minute restriction as well. This is
- 19:33the back end of a back to back, but he's been limited to twenty
- 19:37two minutes in both both of his games. I think that he probably plays
- 19:40tonight. Do you think that Mathern probably at risk of missing missing again,
- 19:45he's had the toe injury lingering for a while now, so I think that
- 19:48he could definitely miss Jalen Smith has been very injury prone in his young career,
- 19:53especially with this lower back injury, which I think is what he's listed
- 19:56with. Again, if I'm not mistaken, let me check the injury report
- 20:00one second. Yeah, the lower back, so it's lower back spasms.
- 20:07You know, that's definitely something that could could could hold you out for a
- 20:11game. And then Myles Turner with the ankle injury. So you know,
- 20:15if we're talking, if Miles Turner and both Jay and Smith are out three
- 20:19point three, k Isaiah Jackson would be a great value play a ton of
- 20:23injury risks or foul risk in this matchup going against the Mats. Sabonis at
- 20:29Isaiah Jackson is definitely very foul prone. He's a it can be very handsy
- 20:33at time, so I don't think that, you know, there could be
- 20:36some downside risk to him. But I mean, even if you give him
- 20:38eighteen to twenty minutes, he probably pays off this tack ninety percent of the
- 20:42time, and then I think you'd probably see pretty elevated minutes out of Aaron
- 20:48E. Smith, pretty big minutes out of a bigger minute ceiling out of
- 20:52Obi Top and as well, it was only four point one K, and
- 20:55he could definitely benefit from this type of pace up matchup. We've seen him
- 20:57have some really big games off the bench as of late. So I think
- 21:00that if you're you know you're gonna be without Jane Smith and always turn of
- 21:03some of these and Matheren as well. Some of these three four or five
- 21:07position players, you can really expect guys like Aaron E. Smith over top
- 21:14and Isaiah Jackson to kind of fill in those minutes as well. And then
- 21:18I don't really think we need to get to any of these point guards with
- 21:21Tarres however and likely to play, but on the King side of thing,
- 21:23this should be really good spot for some of these guys. On offense,
- 21:27Sabona is going to get a really solid match up here versus a weak rim
- 21:30defense on the pacers PACs that have been pretty solid fantasy from a fantasy perspective
- 21:37against opposing centers this season. Ranking thirteenth in DVP shouldn't really matter as much.
- 21:42He just beat up on this Miami Heat team, going for sixty plus
- 21:45DK points, triple double threat every time that he steps on the court,
- 21:48and All Star snub narrative as well. Definitely think that he deserves to make
- 21:52the team over kar Anthony Towns, but that's a discussion for another time.
- 21:57Yeah, I really like sabonas tonight said ten point four k, very cheap
- 22:00price site for him for the upside that he has in this matchup. Darren
- 22:04Fox also in a really good spot here. The Pacers are dead last and
- 22:07ISO defense this season, and they don't really help off with their some of
- 22:15the secondary defenders. They'll just kind of allow their defenders to be on an
- 22:18island. So Daron Fox, you know, playing on an island ISO defense
- 22:22really bad for the Pacers. He could put up a really big scoring night.
- 22:26Has not been very aggressive as of late. The shooting has been down,
- 22:30usage has been down. Yeah, just like he's not not shooting very
- 22:33effectively right now. So I'm a little bit worried that the upside might not
- 22:38be there, but there is. There's really no better matchup for this,
- 22:42this type of game, or this type of matchup for Daron Fox, so
- 22:47I really like him tonight. Pacers are allow of the third most points to
- 22:49pick and roll ballhanters in the league as well. Don't really like this match
- 22:55up for Kicky Murray. The Pacers do a really good job of defending off
- 22:57ball shooters. He did have a really good game last time they played,
- 23:00forty forty four and forty four DK points against the Pacers last time they played.
- 23:06He's gonna play a really heavy minutes, so maybe he can get there
- 23:07with you know, some double double upside, But don't love the matchup for
- 23:11him as well. Kevin Herder kind of similar story. He's just really cheap
- 23:17five point one K for somebody that's playing close to forty minutes a night in
- 23:21a pace up spot, but the matchup not great for off ball shooters as
- 23:23well. I just think that he could get there with you know, just
- 23:26minute ceiling being close to forty five point one K. Really reasonable price sect
- 23:30for him, but really like the spot for de Monte, Sabonis and Deer
- 23:33and Fox on the King side. Yeah, do you I mean I like
- 23:37Sabonus too. Do you like Sabonis even more? Should Miles Turner sit or
- 23:41Jalen Smith either one of those? You know, do see you like him
- 23:45even more? If one of those two were to six, I mean they're
- 23:48already bad defense or you know, middle of the road defensively, but give
- 23:51me a take on that. Yeah, matchup would definitely be much easier for
- 23:53him if Myles Turner ward to sit. Yeah, the room defense has been
- 23:59really bad, but Turner is held up decently against opposing centers. I think
- 24:03that if you put him up there for you know, whatever minutes Isaiah Jackson
- 24:07is out there, he could really just tear that matchup up. And I
- 24:10would. I would. He would probably be the top spin up option on
- 24:12the slate. Yeah, I would agree with you. Last question. I
- 24:15kind of like Ben Shepherd at thirty thirty one hundred, played twenty two minutes
- 24:19last night. Now, I would only like him if you know, Matherin
- 24:22and McConnell and some of those guys miss again. But at thirty one hundred,
- 24:26if you need it, if you need it cheapy, you know,
- 24:27he could get you, you know, fifteen to twenty five. Your your
- 24:32thoughts on Ben Sheppard at thirty one hundred, you know, should some of
- 24:34those pacers miss, Yeah, I would probably need need multiple guys to miss.
- 24:41It would definitely need Matherin to miss. It's just tough to tough to
- 24:45kind of decipher what Rick Carlo is gonna do on a night to night basis,
- 24:48I mean he could. I mean he he played Malas Turner twenty five
- 24:52minutes last game, where he's close to thirty minutes on a nightly basis.
- 24:55We've seen Obi Topping get randomly like thirty thirty three minutes against Phoenix and then
- 25:00go right back to seventeen minutes the next game, so it's kind of hard
- 25:03to trust any of the value pieces. I think that the guys that you
- 25:07know are going to get minutes for sure. Who I forgot to mention,
- 25:10well, I guess I mentioned him when I was talking about the injuries.
- 25:12But aaron Ne Smith, he's been playing a ton of minutes lately, thirty
- 25:17seven minutes, thirty four minutes, and for thirty four plus minutes in four
- 25:19straight games. This is a really good matchup for off ball shooters. He's
- 25:23been one of the most efficient catching you guys in the league this season,
- 25:26so I like him the most. And then Pascal Siakam gonna play a ton
- 25:30of minutes as well, but not enough upside for him with haliburn in.
- 25:34But yeah too, To answer your question, I don't think I personally would
- 25:37get to Ben Shephard. I know that you saw a super dark red negative
- 25:41value score and you had to had to get to him. So yeah,
- 25:45yeah, man, I couldn't. I couldn't leave. I was, you
- 25:48know, three or four games into it. Had to get it our boys.
- 25:51Sean wants to know, who do you prefer toutch from this game all
- 25:53the other game that's close to the two fifty mark. I prefer the studs
- 26:00on the king sides of the Hawks, but I prefer I guess I prefer
- 26:08the studs in the Atlanta phoenixkin because there's more of them. I don't think
- 26:11you're really trying to get to Halliburton right now or Siakam, so I guess
- 26:15I would prefer the guys in the Phoenix Atlanta game. But I do prefer
- 26:18Sabonis the most out of all four teams. Yeah. I don't see how
- 26:22you can play Haliburn at this point, just unless you said Carlisle does something
- 26:26weird and plays in me thirty five minutes to night, which I don't see.
- 26:30But moving on to the next game. Headed over to Bluff City,
- 26:33we got the Warriors taking on the Memphis Grizzlies. One of the lower totals
- 26:37of the night, two hundred and twenty four and a half Andrey news we've
- 26:41got Draymond questionable. Luke Kennard coming back. We believe he's questionable. I
- 26:47did see earlier where Zaira Williams was out. No Steven Adams to night us.
- 26:51He's now wearing a Houston Rockets uniform. Talk to me about this game.
- 26:55Who do you got? Jonathan Aminga has been playing lights out sixty two
- 26:57hundred any interest, then talk to me about this game. Who you got?
- 27:03Yeah, the Warriors offense looking much better now with the new starting line
- 27:07of Draymond Green in there running the center, you know, center point guard
- 27:11position now definitely makes the offense run a lot smoother. They should get Klay
- 27:17Thompson back tonight as well, so they'll help with some of their off ball
- 27:21shooting. But yeah, the Warriors defense has been really bad in the past
- 27:26month or so. They ranked dead last in defensive rating in the month of
- 27:30January. You know, I think that they'll turn it around eventually. Having
- 27:33Draymond in there is definitely helps things. But yeah, definitely don't want to
- 27:38overlook that because they've been playing They've give them up a ton of points lately.
- 27:41Grizzlies with this new, you know, thin roster. They've actually played
- 27:45pretty well. They've done a good job well all season long. They've been
- 27:48a really big three point funnel, but they've kind of flipped things around right
- 27:52now. I think a lot of it is due to them. You know,
- 27:55they're running Jaron Jackson Junior at the five, a lot more, Santi
- 27:57Aldoma playing more of the five now, and they got rid of Bismack Biambo,
- 28:02who is a you know, pretty solid rim protector. They've been taken
- 28:04away a lot more three point shooters now and they're they've kind of flipped to
- 28:07being a more of a rim final defense. So that kind of makes me
- 28:12want to get off of Steph tonight. He I mean, he's not really
- 28:15looking at a ton of ownerships. I guess you can always play him at
- 28:18low ownership because he has shown more of a ceiling as of late, has
- 28:21back to back sixty plus dk point performances, But this is a tougher spot
- 28:26for him. The Grizzlies are a top four pick and roll defense. They're
- 28:29allowing the second least three pointers per game in the month of January. Those
- 28:33are the two areas that Steph gets it done. Do think that he could
- 28:37still put up a big game with you know, just I guess scoring efficiency.
- 28:41Maybe he gets more to the rim as well, but not really too
- 28:45excited about the match for Steph. I think Draymond is totally fine. He's
- 28:48been fording with the triple double most nights when he's getting all the minutes.
- 28:52I think that, you know, teams are much more willing to let guys
- 28:56like Draymond Green and Jothan Kamiga beat them offensively than Steph Curry. So I
- 29:00think that, you know, if you get ten points from Draymond, you
- 29:03can be looking at a double double or triple double bonus there. And Kaminia
- 29:07is probably the Warrior that I'm the most excited about here. The Grizzlies becoming
- 29:11more of a rim funnel defense, Kamina getting the trust of Steve Kerr.
- 29:15He's attacking the rim aggressively. He should be in a really big spot here.
- 29:18He's been hot scoring lately as well, has no less than thirty four
- 29:22DK points in seven straight games, and four of those games were forty or
- 29:26more. So I like him the most in the Warriors side, and I
- 29:29do think that Andrew Wiggins even is a fine option seeing some pretty big ownership
- 29:34on Clay. I think that I would I probably would prefer Wiggins here just
- 29:40for the reasons I mentioned. With the Grizzlies doing better job taking away three
- 29:44point shooters, Willgats has really benefited with Draymond Green in the starting lineup as
- 29:48well. He's played forty one and thirty eight minutes in back to back games,
- 29:52had thirty nine to forty three DK points in those games, so I
- 29:53think I would prefer him over Klay Thompson. And then on the Grizzly side,
- 29:57I think the guys that you're looking to here really only two guys that
- 30:00I have interested in, and that's Jared Jackson Junior. He's been taking on
- 30:04more of a ball handing role as of late. They're running him more and
- 30:07pick and roll stuff. I'm gonna play heavy minutes pretty much every night,
- 30:11so I think that he's a totally fine option eight point two K and then
- 30:15Santi al Dama, He's gonna play big minutes night as well. With Xavier
- 30:18Tillman getting listed as doubtful, really solid match up here for off all shooters
- 30:22as well. Santi Aldama taking a good amount of three pointers is in the
- 30:27last couple of games. I like those two the most on the grizzly side.
- 30:30Yeah, New Ones is asking about Jackson Davis, Cinney, Jackson Davis,
- 30:34Love Sarage is out. You know, you got Draymonde at center.
- 30:37They've kind of gone away from the Cavon Looney experience. You like Jackson Davis
- 30:42getting that backup centered Love. This could be a spot where he gets more
- 30:48minutes. They they have been giving Looney more than minutes in certain matchmps where
- 30:53they calls for it. Sacramento obviously you have a guy like de Monts Sabonis,
- 31:00although he only saw five minutes against the Lakers. I don't I mean,
- 31:03I honestly don't know how they're gonna give who they're gonna give those minutes
- 31:07to from uh from Sarach. I'm only seeing like sixteen minutes for trace Jackson
- 31:11Davis. I don't think that that really puts him in play at three point
- 31:15a K. But I don't know. I could be wrong. I think
- 31:18that I would just be looking to Kaminga. I think that he's probably the
- 31:22biggest beneficiary him and dream On Green probably. Yeah, New Ones over there
- 31:27doing doing an old ham Ham special with that negative six point two five value.
- 31:33Come on, Come on, New Ones that leave. Leave those bad
- 31:36plays to me. We're moving on. Two hundred and thirty thirty three point
- 31:41total New Orleans traveling to San Antonio to take on the win. Binyana led
- 31:48Spurs Cheddy Osmond popping in our in our stuff over here. Talk to me
- 31:52about this game. Who you like, who you don't like. On the
- 31:56injury front, I think everybody is healthy, Zion's questionable, Keldon Johnson is
- 32:01doubtful, Zach Collins is training to play. Larry Nance Junior I think is
- 32:07training to play, and I think that's it. If I missed anybody,
- 32:09certainly add him in there. Talk to me about winby nine to three.
- 32:12Who are some of your favorite plays in this game? Yeah, So they
- 32:16just said that Zion and Herb Jones were at shoot around, which is usually
- 32:20a good indicator that they're gonna play, but it's not the end all,
- 32:24be all answered. We've seen a couple guys be at shoot around and still
- 32:28miss games, so we'll have to keep an eye on that. But yeah,
- 32:32I would probably approach it as if they're gonna play, and with those
- 32:37guys in don't really have a lot of interest on the Pelican side of things.
- 32:42I think that the Guards are probably in a good spot. Brandon Ingram,
- 32:45CJ. McCollum. The Spurs are struggling with their pick and roll defense
- 32:49right now. The interior defense has not been that great all of season long,
- 32:52even with Wenby down loads to kind of you know, he's a great
- 32:55shot blocker, but they're still giving up a good amount of points at the
- 32:59ram. So I think that CJ. McCollum and Brandon Ingram look like they're
- 33:05in a pretty good spot here tonight. The Pelicans defensively have been really solid.
- 33:10They are doing a good job protecting the rim, one of the better
- 33:14room defenses over the past couple of months, but they're given up a ton
- 33:16of three pointers right now. They're bottom seven and catch and shoot points allowed.
- 33:20So I think that guys like Devin Vessel, Julian Champagne, I mean,
- 33:24I don't think that he's really a player right now, but he's one
- 33:27of the better catch and shoot guys. And then Cheddy Osmond, like you
- 33:29mentioned, he's popping for us in our optimizer and some other things that we
- 33:32have. But yeah, he's one of the better catch and shoot guys.
- 33:37He's been playing pretty good minutes back to back minutes of twenty eight twenty nine
- 33:40should benefit with no Kellen Johnson tonight, so I think that he's probably one
- 33:44of my favorite value options on the whole slate. And then Wemby matchup wise
- 33:50pretty tough. They the Pelicans play a lot of help defense down lows.
- 33:54I think that they could throw a lot of double teams at him when he
- 33:58gets the ball on the block, which that should open up. And that's
- 34:00the reason why some of these catching shoot guys are pretty interesting, like Fasel
- 34:06and Osmond. So I think that, you know, maybe maybe Wemby has
- 34:09a pretty efficient night from a passing perspective. We seen him get a triple
- 34:13double once earlier this season, so I think that he could have a higher
- 34:15assist total here if he's able to find the open man. With the Pelicans
- 34:20playing a lot more health defense, I think that he's a totally fine option
- 34:22nine point three K. Obviously, with the minutes restriction kind of lift that
- 34:27he's able to play thirty minutes a night, and in any matchup, I
- 34:30think thirty minutes out of Wemby is really good, So I don't mind him
- 34:34at all tonight. Yeah, I agree with you. I really like Wenby,
- 34:37and I think that's a lower price on him than we've seen. I
- 34:42know you're big on Trey Murphy. I heard you talk a lot about him
- 34:45this year. I've see in the chat with Mark and Sean he is he
- 34:47a full time starter now? Is that is? He just been starting recently
- 34:52for some injuries, but he has chucked it up there any Trey Murphy love
- 34:55if he's starting. No, he's not. He's just been filling in for
- 35:00Ion and Herd Jones when they miss. He's kind of just like the first
- 35:02guy that they'll go to if either one of those guys were to miss.
- 35:06But he's still I mean, he's still projecting fine as of value even with
- 35:10these guys in just he's just not shooting the ball really well right now.
- 35:15I'm a fan of his game, but he's just not shooting the ball too
- 35:17hot right now. I mean the Yeah, the percentage has got to be
- 35:21way down. I don't have it in front of me, but over the
- 35:22last like eight to ten games, just been pretty bad. But yeah,
- 35:28I mean this is kind of this is a good match for everybody in the
- 35:30Pelicans. I wouldn't blame anybody for going down there. I just personally won't
- 35:34be doing it. Yeah, I understood. That's six games. We got
- 35:37three games left. We got about one hundred and fifty in here watching.
- 35:39Make sure youre hitting that light. Make sure you're hitting that subscribe button really
- 35:43helps Mayo out of here. Head on over to the ship a nation dot
- 35:46com page. We're about five point five subscribers, trying to get up to
- 35:51six thousand. I know Tambone who's gonna be doing some giveaways. Once we
- 35:54do that, let's head down the home stretch, Hebrew. Like I said,
- 35:58we got three games. This should be on paper, should be blowout
- 36:01city. We got Charlotte, We got the Hornets with LaMelo ball listed as
- 36:06doubtful. I believe going into OKC one of the more fun teams to watch
- 36:09with SGA, with jet uh, with Jalen Williams. Who is actually out
- 36:14tonight. Talk to me a little bit about this game. Who gets those
- 36:16minutes for Jalen? Who's gonna get those minutes for LaMelo? Uh? I
- 36:21know is Smith may be in play for you. Talk to me a little
- 36:24bit about this game. Who you got? Go ahead? I think you're
- 36:32all mute donkey oops, second time doing that, it's a good good Yeah.
- 36:42So the Hornets still one of the worst overall teams in the league.
- 36:44They've they're dead last in defensive rating right now, given up the six months
- 36:47rim and three pointers per game this season. They're also bottom six and catch
- 36:52and shoot situations as well. Okay, see obviously one of the best teams
- 36:57in the in the league, but they're giving up the second most points to
- 37:00catch and shoot guys. So I do think that this is a semi sneaky
- 37:04spot for some of these Charlotte guys. We know that they're going to run
- 37:07a really tight rotation as long as they're not getting blown out by twenty to
- 37:10thirty points, which I mean is definitely in play tonight. But I think
- 37:15that these guys like Miles Bridge, is Brandon Miller, PJ Washington, Washington
- 37:19all pretty sneaky tonight. I mean, Miles Bridge has been taken on a
- 37:23huge offensive workload with LaMelo Ball sidelined as well. He's a he showed really
- 37:29big upside last game. I was on him in that Chicago game, put
- 37:32up forty sorry sixty eight draftings points. So I think anytime you know that
- 37:37somebody in that range has that type of upside, you have to have a
- 37:40little bit of interest in them. I would probably look to correlate some of
- 37:45the okay see guys if I'm playing multiple of these Charlotte guys, and that
- 37:51would kind of lead me to guys like Sga, Chet, Holmgren, Broth.
- 37:53Both are in a really good spot here. Sga gonna see Cody Bartin.
- 37:58Defensively, he's a defender. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
- 38:01The Hornets is still awful rimp protectors. I think the SJA really big upside
- 38:06in this matchup, and with there not being a ton of spend up options
- 38:08on the slate, I do like him. Normally, wouldn't be looking to
- 38:14get to him if we have guys like jokichianis Luca on the slate. But
- 38:16I think he's the second highest spin up option on the slate, so I
- 38:19think that he's a totally fine play tonight. Chet should have a really good
- 38:22matchup here with the Hornet's rinking in the bottom two in DVP this season,
- 38:29really just an elite shot blocker, so I think that he's got some pretty
- 38:31big upside. Seven point six K for him, And then I think that
- 38:37Giddy is pretty sneaky tonight five point nine K. He has a really really
- 38:40big usage rate and big just fantasy scoring bump with Jaylen Williams off the court
- 38:47the season, has a twenty four percent usage rate and averages forty two DK
- 38:52points per thirty six minutes. Would not expect him to get up to thirty
- 38:54six minutes. I'm not saying that he's going to score forty two DK points,
- 38:58but I do think that he's got a little bit more up side from
- 39:00a minutes perspective in this matchup. The Thunder have been more willing to go
- 39:06more defensive minded in certain matchups. And then that, in turn, would
- 39:10you take off the minutes from I got like Josh Giddy, you've seen some
- 39:15of these matchups. Against Minnesota, he only saw nineteen minutes. Game against
- 39:20New Orleans only saw twenty three minutes. So I think that, yeah,
- 39:25and then you look at a game against my Utah Jazz, who are you
- 39:29don't really worry too much about them defensively, got to thirty minutes in that
- 39:34game, put up twenty ten and six line forty four point five DK points.
- 39:37I remember in a game against the Blazers earlier this year, where they're
- 39:40kind of similar to the Horns. They don't only have a lot of guys
- 39:43you're too worried about. From a defensive perspective, he got up there had
- 39:46a triple double. I believe in those minutes. I think that he's got
- 39:50a little bit more of a minute upside here, and I like him tonight
- 39:52at five point nine k and then a couple of these value pieces loud or
- 39:57at Aaron Wiggins. I think that I need to see a projected starry lineup
- 40:02because I remember last time that Jada Williams was out, it was Aaron Wiggins
- 40:07projected to start, and then they went with a different route. If you
- 40:12give me one second here, yeah, well you're looking that up. I
- 40:15mean, yeah, Aaron Wiggins is popping over here at thirty six hundred if
- 40:17he gets the start him or door to think is a good play. But
- 40:21man, I know you've looked at this Hornet's roster. Goodness gracious without LaMelo,
- 40:24even with Lamello, it is just brutal. Some dudes I've never even
- 40:29heard of. I really like Brandon Miller tonight. His price tag. You
- 40:34know he's gonna shoot at twenty twenty times. He's gonna play thirty five plus
- 40:37minutes if you gets some rebounds and assists deals something like that. I think
- 40:39he could pay off that tag and him and Miles Bridges would be my too.
- 40:43Sorry, go ahead now you're good. Yeah, I definitely agree with
- 40:46what you were You're hitting on there, But yeah, it's it's looking like
- 40:50Ken Kenris Williams is projected to be the starter. He did not start the
- 40:53second half, though, I think that Wiggins was the one to start the
- 40:55second half, so I think that I would still prefer Wiggins. But yeah,
- 41:00pretty good spot here for lou Dort three point nine K. He's been
- 41:04a guy that's kind of been in the five K range most of the season,
- 41:07but he is the I guess, with Isaiah Joe out, who's there
- 41:12the Thunder's best catch and shoe guy. That would leave lou Doort as the
- 41:16best option from a cat catch and shoot perspective. He's the second best catch
- 41:21and shoot scorer on the Thunder roster and this is a good spot for him.
- 41:23So I like lou Dort three point nine K is a value option tonight.
- 41:29Yeah, certainly don't mind that sixteen point spread of this game two hundred
- 41:31and twenty five total. Could be some blow up attention, and obviously we're
- 41:36not gonna play for that, but just something to keep in mind if you
- 41:38have anything else to this game. We good to move on. I think
- 41:43we're good. Yeah, yeah, let's move on to the next game.
- 41:45Two games left said a minute ago, hit that like hit that subscribe button.
- 41:49We're gonna charge on home. Lowest total game of the night, two
- 41:52hundred and twelve, six point spread. We have Orlando invading Minnesota the Twin
- 41:58Cities. A little bit about this game. We talked a minute ago about
- 42:02kat getting in over Sabonis. People don't like that. We know Rudy Gobert
- 42:07was a midday downgrade, which is never good. Does nas Reid step up
- 42:12a little bit? Should go bear sit talk to me about this game?
- 42:15Who you got? So this is a pretty clear cross off from me unless
- 42:22you see something else that I'm not seeing because I don't really have a ton
- 42:24of interest in any of these spind up options. Obviously things could change if
- 42:30Rudy Gobert were to be out, then we could look to guys like nas
- 42:32Reed and karnthey Town's probably too would see a pretty big bump from a rebounding
- 42:37perspective. But outside of that, I mean, I'm not too excited about
- 42:42anybody in this game. These are two of the best defenses defenses in the
- 42:45league, definitely Minnesota being the best overall. So I don't really have a
- 42:50lot of interest in Paulo Franz Wendel. None of these guys really standing out
- 42:54to me. And then I guess Anthony Edwards would be the guy I'd look
- 42:59to on the Minesota side, but not even too excited about that. I
- 43:04think I could get to nose Reed if for you to go Bear is out,
- 43:07that's about it for me. Yeah, you hit the nail on the
- 43:09head. I'm with you there. This is this is a cross off for
- 43:13me outside of Nash should should only only go Bear sits And I think I
- 43:17think you would agree with that. We can move on to the last game
- 43:21of the night because the reminder of the Denver game is not on the slate,
- 43:23not on FanDuel, not on DraftKings, which is what we're talking about.
- 43:28Going into this last game. We have Toronto taking on Houston. In
- 43:32Houston, we have Albert Sengoon, who's questionable I think he was at shoot
- 43:37around if I'm not mistaken, which is a good sign. We know John
- 43:39tay Porter is out. We know Potal is questionable, but I think you
- 43:44said he's on track to play. I have some interest in Thaddeus Young.
- 43:49Should Potal not play? Talk to me about this game. We get quickly
- 43:52back. I believe we get Barrett back to both listed as Q. Tari
- 43:55Easton still out for the Rockets. Talk to me about this game. You
- 44:00got, you got anything you like? Uh? No, I was just
- 44:05laughing because it sounded like you said Albert Segoon. I like that. I
- 44:07like that name. Albert. No, no, Alfin, Alfin, I
- 44:12know his name. I'm bad with names. Hey, I'm bad with names.
- 44:15I'm nowhere near as bad as Nate's, though, where his names?
- 44:16Nates in the chat he can't pronounce anybody's name. What he's My favorite?
- 44:22One that Nate says is uh he calls og anonobi og anybody, Nates.
- 44:30If you're out there, man, you didn't pronounce names. I can't pronounce
- 44:32you, honesto. But man, you can't pronounce the name. JA.
- 44:37Don't be coming at me. I don't know if you've seen the clip,
- 44:39of I said, we have a little bit of time, so you can
- 44:42joke around a little bit. But the Kendrick Perkins stuff, I mean,
- 44:44he he is the one of the funniest guys trying to pronounce names. He
- 44:47called Bam Autobio Bam out of the Bayou. That's pretty good. That's a
- 44:55good one. He's a funny, funny guy. He has some terrible but
- 45:00he's definitely top notch television. Yeah, In terms of this game, the
- 45:05Raptor is definitely getting much healthier here, going to get Emanual quickly and Perle
- 45:08back most likely. They're listed questionable, but they've been kind of trending upwards.
- 45:14They've been practicing this week, so I think that they're both likely back
- 45:15tonight. Archie Barrett most likely to miss here as well. I don't think
- 45:20that he's practiced yet. With those guys coming back, I don't only love
- 45:23the spot for anyone in particular. On the Raptor side of things, the
- 45:28Rockets have been a pretty solid defense all year long, but they have been
- 45:30given up more three pointers out of late, ranking the bottom eight in three
- 45:35point defense in the month of January. So I think if you're considering any
- 45:39of these guys, which I don't really think you need to on this slate
- 45:45with these price tags being with where they are. Scottie Barnes nine K with
- 45:49quickly back quickly seven point two K is not really that he's a slightly positive
- 45:52value. I guess Gary Trent Junior would be the one I would look to
- 45:57the most, But even now with these guys coming back, four point nine
- 46:00K doesn't look nearly as good, So don't really like the spot as much
- 46:05for the Raptors. As far as the Rockets go, the Raptors defense has
- 46:08been just a train wreck defensively since the og Any Bodie trade, and they're
- 46:15gonna get even worse tonight with Yaka purtle Back. I mean, he's one
- 46:19of the worst rip protectors in the league and a guy I've always looked to
- 46:22attack with opposing bigs. So I think that if Pertle is in and Senggoon
- 46:29plays, really like the spot for Sangoon. He's listed a question with an
- 46:31illness, but what he was at shoot around, so I would expect him
- 46:34to play. Definitely kind of busted for us last game against the Pelicans,
- 46:39which was a pretty decent matchup, only thirty something draftings points. I think
- 46:45that he bounces back in a big way here against Yaka Purtle and pays off
- 46:50the eight point seven K price tag. Really like the spot for both Fred
- 46:53Vannfleet and Jalen Green. Much preferred Jalen Green right now though with Fred van
- 46:58Fleet's current form just being completely awful. He's just he can't get anything going
- 47:01offensively right now. But the Raptors lacking on ball defenders right now since they
- 47:07shipped off Og, so I think Jalen Green, who is playing really well
- 47:10right now some of the best basketball of his young career, Raptors in the
- 47:14bottom four rim defense in the month of January. Jalen Green has been much
- 47:16more aggressive, with almost nine drives per game in the last month or so,
- 47:22and he's seen his rebounding tick up as well, has a couple double
- 47:25digit game rebounds. I think that he makes a lot of sense at six
- 47:29point eight K, and I think that you could totally consider Jabari Smith here
- 47:31also. Wow, he put up a Garrison Matthews like stat line last game
- 47:38twenty two minutes, three point twenty five fantasy points. He was coming back
- 47:44from ake injuries, so hopefully it was just him being limited a little bit,
- 47:46but that's a little bit alarming. And then Cam Whitmore last guy I'll
- 47:52mentioned on the rocket side things really big upside off the bench. He's an
- 47:54extremely aggressive scorer off the bench. I think that he would would have pretty
- 48:00big upside in this type of matchup. Even if he gets, you know,
- 48:02twenty to twenty five minutes, he could pay off that price tag.
- 48:06Those are the main guys I'd be looking at this game, mainly, Sengoon
- 48:08and Jalen Green. Yeah, I agree with you for the most part.
- 48:15The one I would disagree man Fred van Vliet. Not only is he taken
- 48:20on his former team, so I'm not super big against the Revenge and erraitors,
- 48:22but sixty nine hundred bucks the lowest he's been all season. He has
- 48:27been an absolute dog shit if you will, on offense. And Jalen Green's
- 48:32been hot as a firecracker. Sixty eight hundred for him shoot at twenty times.
- 48:36I think that's gonna flip flop tonight. I think it's a big game
- 48:38for Van Vleet obviously wants to play well. I see you come off of
- 48:43you go ahead? Oh I was in Yeah, I was just I just
- 48:47didn't want to get called a donkey again. Sorry sorry for the name,
- 48:52Colin, but I really like Van Vleet tonight. I think that's a great
- 48:55price. Ted probably, I mean, the best we'll see all season,
- 48:59and in my opinion, could be Travis just said it's a travesty. We
- 49:04just missing him. Could be Travis, we beat you to the punds.
- 49:06There you go, he's with me. I think he's almost a must play,
- 49:10especially in GPPs. Uh, that's the name of the game for me.
- 49:14Man, everybody's gonna be going to green. You're shooting at twenty times
- 49:15a game to the same price. To me, that's an easy flip.
- 49:19But uh, that'll do it for this nine game slate should be a good
- 49:22slate. It's Friday. Let's do some plays in the day, h Hebrew.
- 49:27Let's uh give give the give the people. Uh give the people a
- 49:31play of the day if you don't mind. And while you're doing that,
- 49:34I'll look at one for me. Uh go ahead, I'll let you.
- 49:37I'll let you do the honors, all right. I appreciate that. Let
- 49:42me take a look at the border real quick, because I hadn't even really
- 49:45considered this yet. Throwing a curve on Nate D's right. He says he's
- 49:51he's he's achieved, not a donkey. I appreciate it. That's good,
- 49:53that's right. Appreciate everyone tuning in. We're gonna give you the play of
- 49:57today, Fred van Vliet. That's not my play today, but I really
- 49:59do like him. And you can't say Sabonis. You can't say Sabonis.
- 50:02That's too easy. Give us some one that's uh. I don't know subwhat
- 50:07ten or fifteen percent. I'm gonna have to do fifteen percent because the one
- 50:12I'm looking at right now, I'm seeing double digit, around eleven percent,
- 50:15depending where you're looking at. We don't have ownership on our site right now,
- 50:19but should be updated pretty soon. Stuff. I'm looking at him seeing
- 50:22slightly above ten percent. Maybe he comes in higher, but yeah, Devin
- 50:25Booker is gonna be my guy tonight. Really, that's what I was gonna
- 50:29go to. Oh man, that was a great pick. I'm on book
- 50:31now Books will be in my core. Go ahead, Yeah, I just
- 50:34I love the spot for Devin Buocker tonight, just been playing, playing out
- 50:37of his mind in the month of January. I think he has a really
- 50:39really big scoring night maybe he can match Lucas performance. Maybe we see the
- 50:45Atlanta Hawks defense turn back to what they were. Man. I don't know
- 50:50if you watch that game against Luca. I mean, obviously it was an
- 50:52extremely efficient seventy three pointer or seventy two point or whatever he had, but
- 50:57they man, he was just able to walk to the back at times and
- 51:00just easy layups all night long. So I'm hoping that the Hawks live my
- 51:04man Booker do that tonight, and I think that he has a really really
- 51:07strong game tonight. At this nine point nine K price tag, He's my
- 51:09play of the day. Yeah, I like that. I was. I
- 51:13was leaning book Now I'm gonna I'm gonna have to pivot real quick. Who
- 51:16do I like? I can't use Fred van Vliet, That's too easy,
- 51:20in my opinion. I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with my guy.
- 51:24I'm gonna go with my guy who's seeing thirty eight minutes a night, thirty
- 51:29eight, thirty nine, thirty seven, thirty nine, six point eight K
- 51:34should see plenty of shots with no LaMelo ball. I like him a little
- 51:37bit better than Miles Bridges tonight. That's Brandon Miller's shooting guard. And small
- 51:40forward eligible. Give me Brandon Miller the top forty Fantasy points tonight. That'll
- 51:46do it for me. What us say? Mark thinks that Booker gets another
- 51:50sixty point point performance. Let's go. Travis is saying book It come bucket
- 51:55by Seawan. Sean Sullivan certainly appreciate you tuning in. Reminder once again,
- 52:00there will be no show next Thursday. There'll be no show next Friday.
- 52:05Me and my guy Hebrew coming back at you in two weeks on the sixteenth.
- 52:09But for Hebrew, I am Ham. Good luck tonight. In all
- 52:15your contest, Let's see some Shipping Nation logos at the top. We'll see
- 52:20you in two weeks. If you're a phoenix, come see us. That'll
- 52:22do it for us. Let's ship it.
