1:19
What's going on on this Tuesday afternoon? Yeah, going good. Just put
1:23
up a slate plan right before we went live. We had a really good
1:26
night last night in the NBA streets. Yeah, a lot of big winners.
1:32
And I voiced some frustration to you in discord the other night about some
1:36
late swap stuff that kind of did not go my way, but I'm not
1:38
kicking myself too much about it. Been really close these last couple of weeks.
1:42
But yeah, I'm feeling pretty locked in. This is a great slate.
1:47
I'm really looking forward to talking about it. I appreciate everybody wishing me
1:49
good luck and all the positive energy for my first attempt at the Live final
1:56
tonight in the big qualifiers. So yeah, I appreciate that from all you
1:59
guys. Oh yeah, gonna be a good one. You're gonna take that
2:01
puppy down. If you gotta sweat, definitely let everyone know. We'll be
2:05

2:21
PGA though on Thursday, MMA going on, we still got plenty of weeks
2:24
in a row. Hoop ships that again. NBA. Of course, Rio's
2:29
absolutely been crushing it. Plenty of members yesterday, crush it as well NHL
2:32

2:36

3:00
the week if you want to a lot of these people in the YouTube chat
3:04
all in the discord as well, cheering each other down. And like Big
3:07
Marley said, when Rio sweating it later, we'll be in there sweating it
3:10
with them. Jake's excited for MLB season. I am too. But I
3:14
will say, Jake Rio, you gotta agree, right, NFL, NBA,
3:17
MLB it takes a third seed or what do you say? That's got
3:22
its ups and downs. I mean, it's nice to have a lot more
3:23
free time throughout the day, but yeah, it's definitely it's not the same.
3:28
I can't sit down and watch a baseball game the same as I can
3:30
of football or basketball. So yeah, I agree with you there for sure.
3:34
But I will say for DFS, I mean, I mean some of
3:36
the people who really really good at MLB, at DFS, it's so easy
3:39
in the fact of all, right, who you stack? At least for
3:42
me, who am I stacking? A fine man? Stack pick two pitchers
3:45
and figure it out at least like the game theory wise and just the brain.
3:49
That way, it's a fun dfesport to build. NBA though, I
3:52
like the late swap Friday, we'll touch on that. No, late swap
3:55
on Friday, they're gonna mess with that. But the fact of lineups lock
4:00
in, they're good to go. I like that part. However, an
4:01
NBA, I don't know real if you want to talk about that. But
4:04
I'm not excited for personally, No, I'm not that excited for I know
4:09
that there's I mean, there's pros and cons to both sides of it.
4:12
For sure, I think you'll be catering to a lot more casual people.
4:15
But yeah, I don't know. There's there's some up and downs. For
4:18
for people that play big money every night, they have the ability to lose
4:23
a lot of money versus the casual who uh, I don't know. They
4:28
can't they can't afford to get zeros on on slates and guys missing. I
4:31
think that the pros people that are playing thousands of dollars and I can can't
4:34
afford that a lot. More So, you might end up actually losing some
4:38
of the fan base that you think you're catering, catering towards. I think
4:41
Lake Swap is the best for U, for NBA. I hope that they
4:45
keep it around. I hope that this is not a thing to stay.
4:46
I've actually not even minded these these broken up slates, like like the ones
4:50
we have tonight, Like I don't mind having the games in an hour long
4:54
window or hour and a half whatever it is. I guess, yeah,
4:58
I don't have too much more. I'll be in dressing. What it does.
5:00
I mean, whatever DraftKings makes more money on is the decision they'll go
5:03
with. It's business, so I get it. That way, we'll be
5:05
interesting what happens. I do love this though, Jake. One of my
5:12
time I see who say ho in here? And I didn't read the full
5:15
thing. However, I do love day baseball and night baseball I still haven't
5:18
read it all. Come on, Jake, I pulled it up. That's
5:20
the best thing NBA. It's only at night baseball ten am here sometimes watching
5:25
ball playing slates all throughout the day. Jake, I hoped that wasn't too
5:28
inappropriate, gets his kicked off Twitter. Bobby's in here as well. But
5:30
hey, let's lead into this slate. Like you said, nine games on
5:33
DK, there is eleven on the night though they split up the slate only
5:36
seven pm Eastern eight pm Eastern today. You have to worry about it on
5:41
DraftKings and FanDuel. Then if you want to play the night slate, you
5:44
want the show down content at ten eastern. I'll be in the streets as
5:46
well. We have the showdown content. A lot of success there, but
5:49
I love it. I wish they always did this. Of course, sometimes
5:53
it's the seven eight. You can't do it, I say, Keith Blait
5:56
swat breakup slates that are clear as day like this fandual DCA. I think
6:00
did it right today. One hour, take a break. You can play
6:01
the night slate if you do want, but I say we get right into
6:05
it. Any broad slight overview, stars and scrubs, balance build. How
6:10
I see it's definitely I think it's gonna be balanced, some clear chalk slow
6:14
Mo, Dejonte Murray. I think those are the main two guys. The
6:17
Wolves definitely gonna be pretty popular. What do you see broad slate over overview
6:23
before game by game? Yeah, I'm thinking it's definitely a mid tier type
6:27
type slate tonight. You have Luca and Yiannis up top eleven point five twelve
6:32
k. I mean Luka will talk about it when we get there, but
6:34
not the greatest matchup for him. Giannis in a game with a fourteen point
6:39
spread, very likely to blow out, so you might not get full run
6:42
from him. We've got some really good games with some big totals in the
6:46
middle of the slate that will definitely get to the injury news. Like you
6:48
mentioned Coronthony Town's got ruled out, so we'll have some value there. But
6:51
I'm definitely thinking it's gonna be more of a mid tier type build. But
6:56
I do agree with what W. Jermans said here. It's yeah, I
7:00
agree hundred percent with it being March towards the end of the season, you're
7:02
dropping late Swab it's the worst time. Yeahs worst time, one hundred percent.
7:08
Couldn't agree more with that, and bro real this man Jake just said
7:13
he tried to say how but his auto correct is messed up. That's all
7:16
I gotta say with that. Come on, come on, Jake, Come
7:19
on, Jake. First game of the night, Come on, Jake.
7:23
Dallas Mavericks Cleveland Cavaliers two thirty two and a half total, Cleveland four and
7:27
a half point favorites. Injury news in this one pretty much irrelevant on this
7:30
lads. Ty Durrow, Yeah, nothing matters when it comes to injuries talking.
7:35
You talk to Luca at twelve K. I think Stars and Scrubs is
7:39
contrarian. If you want Luca, you're gonna get a pretty low owned Jared
7:43
Allen playing good ball, D Mitch Garland, Mobley definitely more interest on the
7:46
cab side for me. Terms of ownership, pretty much, Jared Allen I
7:50
think is gonna get only the one that's gonna get some Center's pretty solid today,
7:55
though, but I think it's pretty much Alan or nothing in terms of
7:58
ownership. I don't mind a D Mitch at Garland something like that. To
8:01
augh, do you see this game? Yeah? This this can be a
8:05
really competitive game, close spread, pretty decent total. Mavericks defense has been
8:09
pretty good post trade deadline over the past the past five games since they've gotten
8:15
PJ. Washington, Daniel Gafford, their top four in the league in defensive
8:18
rating. Obviously, we know Cleveland one of the best defensive teams all season
8:20
long, kind of been a team to avoid in DFS Tonight A little bit
8:24
of a different story when you have guys like Luca and Kyrie Irving who can
8:28
always go off for a big game. But this is probably one of the
8:31
tougher tests to date for Luca. Cavs top five and DVP versus point guards
8:35
this season their top two pick and roll defense as well, which is kind
8:39
of Luca's game. They are a little bit more vulnerable to ISO scorers.
8:43
Luca's top top scorer in the league in isolation, so that's kind of the
8:48
upside case for him. You're definitely gonna be ginning him at really low ownership,
8:52
probably one of the lower ownerships we'll see Luca at all season long.
8:56
Just with the state of the slate, with the matchup, He's not projecting
9:00
as good as you need for somebody at twelve K. So if you want
9:05
to get over the field play. You know, five ten percent of him
9:07
in your MM stuff, you're probably gonna be over the field there. I
9:11
probably won't be getting to him in my single entry stuff or very much in
9:15
twenty max stuff. And then Kyrie Irving eight point seven K is kind of,
9:20
you know, same boat as Luca. I guess the price tag is
9:26
really good for him, and if Luca does get shut down, you gonna
9:28
have to see Kyrie Irving pick up the pace offensively. They do have a
9:31
pretty solid teams total one to fourteen, so Kyrie's in play at eight point
9:35
seven K. Don't love it though. I think the last person you're considering
9:39
on the Daut side of things PGA Washington, but nothing really stands out for
9:43
him. Much more interested in this Cleveland side of things. Not really in
9:46
Donovan Mitchell, though he's been seeing his role get cut down a little bit.
9:50
Could be largely doing part to him returning from an injury. Last game
9:54
played thirty six minutes. Just had a really really bad game. But I
9:58
think a lot of it has to do with Evan Mobley DRIs Garland, who
10:01
are two pretty big usage guys. They're no longer on the minutes restriction,
10:05
so kind of taking off some of the upside from a ball handling and usage
10:09
perspective of Donovan Mitchell. I'm much more interested in these big man's Jared Allen,
10:13
Evan Mobley. Jared Allen's been you know, he's been really consistent all
10:18
season long. He's really cheap. This is a really good spot. I've
10:20
been attacking the Mavericks with opposing centers all season long. They're bottom eight in
10:24
DVP this season versus centers. He looks really good in our ceiling rankings as
10:30
well. He's hit five x fifty two percent of the time, six x
10:33
thirty percent of the time in seven x seventeen percent of the time at this
10:35
current price tag, so he looks really good. But Evan and Mobley two
10:39
hundred dollars cheaper, much lower ownership and power forward eligible. I think that
10:45
he's a pretty solid pivot. I mean, this is essentially the same play
10:48
as Jared Allen, but he's cheaper and different position. He's coming in with
10:52
a third of the ownership. Mavericks are bottom five and DVP to power forwards.
10:56
I think you've gained some leverage there going mobily over Allan I would probably
10:58
be max one of those two, and then Darres Carland He's okay at six
11:03
point AK. Ball handing roll is kind of back to normal seven minutes of
11:07
touch time last game, twenty four percent usage rate around thirty six percent,
11:11
and so he's he's a solid option at six point AK. But I don't
11:13
love it. Gonna have a better breakdown, man, I got nothing else
11:16
to add mobile solid. I still think Allen's ownership will be in check enough
11:20
where if you like them, play them the max one like you said,
11:26
you don't think yeah, probably on this nine game, or if it was
11:28
a smaller slate, like I don't think they really eating into each other enough
11:31
for like, I like the upside limited as much, but on miss slates
11:35
at the prices, I do think you're right. There's other spots I'd rather
11:37
go hit the max ceiling probably like six games, five games, I'd be
11:41
fine with it. But yeah, great breakdown. Agree with everything you said,
11:45
Kyrie. Revenge game says, go collect Everyone loves the revenge and the
11:48
birthday narratives out there. Let's keep it rolling. Next game on the slates,
11:52
Brooklyn nets Orlando Magic two twelve total very low, Orlando nine point favorites.
11:56
Important injury news in this one, though, Paula a midday downgrade with
12:01
an illness Jonathan Isaac out. I didn't see it. I saw you put
12:05
it in the chat. Was it really bad? I didn't see the designation
12:09
for Isaac rio, but I saw it right when he went down. You
12:11
said you can't catch a break. So what was it. It looked like
12:13
a need and knee thing, so it could have been a bone bruise.
12:16
But yeah, I'm not sure anything knee injury wise for Jonathan Isaac is not
12:22
good. He's dealt with that his whole career, so hopefully he can get
12:26
back to being healthy again. But that's just really bad timing for him.
12:30
Yeah, and then we also got on the other side important news or Cam
12:33
Thomas is out and Ben Simmons is out. Yesterday they played the Grizz got
12:39
blown or they blew him out. Schroeder I think is very interesting. All
12:43
the starters played thirty minutes, Shroder got what twenty eight minutes. I think
12:46
these guys are strong plays, especially Schroeder. Twenty nine percent USAIDE right last
12:50
game slide in the starting lineup. My question for you, Kyle Anderson or
12:56
Dennis Schroeder if you had to pick one, pretty much the same price,
12:58
obviously different positions. Of course, you can play in both, as Tambo
13:01
said, and my lineup doesn't come preloaded or whatever he is saying is however,
13:05
both are definitely chalky. So which chalk would you rather eat between Schroeder
13:09
Anderson if you had to pick? Then break down this game. I would
13:13
probably rather eat the Kyle Anderson chalk, just a better matchup, better spot
13:18
for him. I mean, the matchup is not not terrible for Dennis Schroeder,
13:22
which I'll break down in a second, But yeah, I think I
13:24
just like the the upside and I guess like the upside end downside for our
13:28
floor for Carl Anderson a little bit better than Dennis Schroeder. I will say
13:33
he will be for everyone out there too. He will be more popular.
13:35
I think slow Moo probably the highest on the slate right now. News can
13:39
change a little bit, but both are gonna definitely get ownership. But I
13:43
like it keep going. Yeah, for sure, they'll they'll both definitely be
13:46
popular. I think that you could get away from Dennis Schroeder because we've seen
13:50
him kind of I mean, his role has been very up and down with
13:52
this Nets team. It was really good last game, like you said,
13:56
twenty nine percent usage rate. He had a big ball handling roles well,
14:00
six point three minutes of touch time, which is really good. This Magic
14:05
defense, you know, pretty solid all season long, but they are a
14:07
bottom five pick and roll ball handling defense. So if Dennis Trout is going
14:11
to have the ball in his hands a ton, I think that the floor
14:15
is pretty pretty safe for him, but actually, no, I scratch it.
14:18
I think that the upside is pretty good for him, but the floor
14:22
has been really low for him, probably a lot safer from Minut's perspective with
14:26
no Ben Simmons, with no Cam Thomas tonight, So I don't think that
14:30
he's a terrible value at all. I think I'll probably be around the field
14:33
on Dennis Schroeder, but he's really the only one I'm really looking to on
14:39
the net side of things. I think that Dorrian Phinney Smith is kind of
14:41
interesting. At four K with no Ben Simmons tonight, he should be pretty
14:46
pretty low and I'm seeing single digit ownership on him. He's got nine rebounding
14:50
back to that game should be out there a ton for his defense on Paulo
14:54
Bancaro tonight if Poulow does play, so I don't think that Dorry Phinney Smith
14:58
is the worst play on the board. And then Lonnie Walker, last Gala
15:01
mentioned on the Nets. He's just a really really high upsided guy that's gonna
15:05
be coming off the bench. Could could see more minutes with this team.
15:07
You know, they're going to be missing an offensive weapon in Cam Thomas.
15:11
I think that Lonnie Walker could kind of fill that role a little bit coming
15:15
off the bench, but he's gonna be he won't be be sneaky at all.
15:18
I'm seeing around fifteen percent on him. And then on the magic side
15:22
of things, I'm not really looking to get into any of these guys,
15:26
not because the Nets are great defensively this They're just gonna be pretty healthy tonight.
15:31
They have all their their point guards sugs call Anthony Marco Folds available,
15:33
which is going to take a lot of the upside of usage standpoint from Paul
15:39
ban Carolin Franz Wagner So and the Nets. Their defense has been really vulnerable
15:43
to three point shooters, where the magic they don't really have any you know,
15:48
lights out three point shooters they're like one of the biggest, one of
15:52
the biggest, biggest rim scoring teams from a volume standpoint in the in the
15:54
league. So yeah, I just don't really see the upside for any of
15:58
these these Magic guys tonight. Yeah, I'm with you. I think it's
16:03
pretty much s Roeder. I know a lot of a lot of people,
16:06
Evan, Lannie Andrew, Lonie you mentioned him. I think he's fine,
16:10
but I mean, nine games late with a good amount of Q tanks,
16:12
I feel like some valley, like some of these Q tanks, something might
16:15
someone might be out someone better at three to nine or cheaper already in a
16:19
mid tier build kind of thing, Like I'm not really going to go up
16:22
to the Lucas. The honest is, I think he's fine, but I
16:25
don't see myself getting to get into too much Lonnie Walker. Myself, Schroeder
16:30
is the guy though. What about I think Cam Johnson's fine too. What
16:33
did you say about him? Just fine? I didn't mention him. Yeah,
16:40
I don't really love it just because he's a catch and shoot guy in
16:41
Magic or they don't play any help off defense. I think that it's a
16:45
little bit tough for him to get some offense going in this one unless he
16:49
gets there from you know, a rebounding standpoint. But yeah, I don't
16:52
love the spot for Cam Johnson in particular. Fair enough, Yeah, definitely
16:57
not a game I like much. No, Orlando Schroeder pretty much, or
17:00
Bust on the Brooklyn side. We'll keep it rolling again. I appreciate Edward
17:03
hanging out, appreciate that, like Bun helps us out A ton subscribe button
17:07
does as well. Seven PM Eastern Golden State Warriors Washington Wizards two forty three
17:12
total. Golden State big favorites at ten and a half. Golden State side
17:17
Andrew Wiggins is out today, Clay probably gonna slide into the starting lineup.
17:22
Washington side. Denny Abdia is questionable, missed the past two games. Pretty
17:26
big news there. Cool of Bali's out, Shammick's and Kispert are questionable too,
17:30
Okay, so Obviya sham At, Kisberg questionable, cool of Bally outs
17:37
definitely, I'll throw it to you. Definitely start with the Washington side.
17:40
I know, pretty big dogs, but like Kuzma, Tias Jones, Obvia
17:45
even if he plays, do you think he'd be on a minute restriction?
17:47
Those are the main guys. I'm looking at this one and then Clay starting
17:49
in the slide, sliding into the starting lineup. I think picks up a
17:53
little steam too, But I mean he fits the Midtier bill. But there's
17:57
a lot of guys in this range not going to be Kyle Anderson Chalky or
18:03
Schroeder Chalky. But he's definitely gonna get some ownership. So that's all I'm
18:06
seeing it. What do you see in this one? Yeah, this game
18:10
is It's okay. I don't love it. Both these teams are kind of
18:12
improving on defense, which is, you know, kind of kind of crazy
18:17
to think about. The Wizards have been a team that's been pretty awful all
18:19
season long, one of the worst defensive teams all season. They're getting a
18:23
little bit better in the last month or so. The Warriors have been great
18:27
defensively in the last month. They are top A defensive rating in this month.
18:33
So I don't really love these Warriors. These Wizards guys. Unless we
18:37
do get news that kiss for Shammit and Auvia, we're out. If even
18:41
if if Avia is in, I think that you kind of can x out
18:45
these guys. But if all three are out, then I think we might
18:48
be looking at like a Johnny Davis start possibly. I mean he's just been
18:52
a really low usage guy and a really low fantasy point for minute guy,
18:55
so I wouldn't go to overboard with it. But he's only three point six
18:57
K and small Ford eligible. But I mean Kuzma is always like the high
19:03
upside option. UH, he's pretty cheap seven point four K. The usage
19:06
has been coming up as well with the seam thin. I think Jordan Poole
19:10
is kind of in play as well, if you want to get to the
19:14
revenge narrative stuff. I mean he's been He's had a pretty solid role coming
19:17
off the bench two of his last four games. Uh surpassed forty DK points
19:21
in two of those games, and he has a twenty seven percent usage rate
19:23
off the bench in his last four games. And then on the Warriors side
19:27
of things, they're gonna be getting Chris Paul back like you said, no,
19:32
no, Andrew Wigginson night, so we'll likely see Claike Thompson slides to
19:36
the starting lineup. Yeah, I don't know. This is a better spot
19:38
for guys. They are gonna be scoring around the rim. It's a really
19:41
good spot for UH. Steph Curry. Tonight the Wizards are bottom three and
19:45
DVP to shoot to point guards. Not really too sure how the Chris Paul
19:51
return it's going to affect him, Like his role we did see earlier in
19:55
the year where his his usage was kind of down. The assist numbers were
19:56
down with Chris Paul while they shared the courts together. But I think,
20:00
you know, even in like twenty to twenty four minutes out of Chris pall,
20:03
I don't think it's gonna affect him too much. We still got really
20:06
big upside at nine point five k, gonna be really low owned Kaminga's upside
20:11
and his role has come down a lot, so now we're looking to him.
20:14
Theoretically, this is a great spot for Draymond Green as the starting center
20:18
for the Warriors, but he's not really the pro typical type center, not
20:22
gonna be taking a ton of shots around the rim or just a ton of
20:26
shots in general. But he does have multi stat upside, so I think
20:29
that he's in play. Maybe you can fall into a double double or get
20:32
close to triple double. He could pay off the six point four k price
20:34
tag, but I don't love it. And then Clay I'm not really looking
20:38
to go there tonight. The Wizards surprisingly have been pretty good against three point
20:41
shooters, Against catch and shoot guys, That's where Klay's gonna get pretty much
20:45
all of his damage done. So I'd much rather be looking to the guys
20:48
that are gonna be scoring around the rim. Curry Draymond Kaminga, I guess
20:52
if you want to go there, pods even but not too excited about this
20:56
game in general. Dude, Yeah, I was gonna say, do you
20:59
think there's any mayor in what newscrasher said Kaminga, like, does Clay space
21:03
the floor more and just open up more space for Kaminga? You think it's
21:07
maybe smaller sample any I know the minutes have came down a little bit from
21:11
what he was playing a little earlier. Thoughts on Kminga and Clay starting what
21:15
it does. Yeah, I mean there was a narrative earlier this season where
21:18
you couldn't play Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Minga alongside of each other just because they
21:23
their their games are I get kind of similar. Obviously, Andrew Wiggins a
21:26
little bit older, less athletic than coming at this point of his career,
21:30
but they're They're very similar in their their player archetypes. I think it makes
21:34
sense that Cominga does play better alongside Clay, where Clay is just going to
21:37
be standing off in the corner, moving around a lot, trying to get
21:41
open from three. So yeah, I think that there is there is something
21:45
too that. Yeah cool. I like that good call out there, Crasher.
21:48
Appreciate you as well, Takedown. Not sure you said thank you,
21:52
not sure what I did, but I appreciate you. Man. I hope
21:55
you're doing well. Appreciate that as well. Ge Kaifer, and he's wishing
21:57
you a good one. You got this and I really got what Steph?
22:02
All right? Give me a percent is I don't know, Probably not many
22:04
if any are playing the queue and watching this and like taking notes on you.
22:08
But what percent of chance you think you got Steph on that team?
22:12
Uh? Less than two? Less than two? All right? I like
22:17
Steph today. I like that shout that you had on him. I'm feeling
22:19
something with Steph. But don't play them because of me. Less than two
22:22
It means you're not playing Steph. Let's keep it rolling. Next game on
22:25
this, like, do you have your line up? Pretty? You have
22:26
your lineup built already obviously a lot with news changes, But like, do
22:30
you have like a core core guys that you already know I'm playing like these
22:33
four, these three for sure, X, Y and Z. Yeah,
22:36
I have a general idea. I think I'm kind of already starting to build.
22:38
I usually wait pretty close to to Locke as I can to start to
22:42
get all my stuff up. Just want to get the best possible, most
22:45
updated projections. But yeah, you got like four or five guys. Yeah,
22:49
I got a general idea. Yeah, I figured I figured you did.
22:52
I'd ask though, let's keep it going. Next game Philadelphia seven or
22:56
no, hold on, I'm gonna go to this game your Utah in the
23:00
Atlanta Hawks, the game of the night. I have a feeling some of
23:03
these pieces that are on your team are going to be in this one.
23:06
Two thirty eight total Hawks one half point favorites. It's not only because Rios
23:10
are diehard Utah fan, not die hard, but a big Utah fan.
23:14
Great game environment, close spread, and on the Atlanta side, he's gonna
23:18
be playing probably some Hawks, No Trey, Noah, Kambu Dejente gonna be
23:22
very popular for sure. Just such a great game environment. Though, I'll
23:25
let you take it away start with the Hawks side, though it's definitely gonna
23:29
be more popular, but definitely talk about Utah as well. Yeah, for
23:32
sure, I could spend a lot of time talking about this game. But
23:36
I mean this one just really it checks all the boxes tonight in a game
23:38
that I want to get exposure to in a lot of my lineups. If
23:42
you were to draw out like a three three sided or whatever, three circle
23:48
vent diagram, then this game would be in the dead center of it.
23:52
I mean, you have teams that are terrible defensively, they play fast in
23:56
pace, and they have I would say above average two great offenses if you
24:02
want to consider them. I mean, this game environment is just the nuts.
24:04
Tonight. You have the Hawks who have been terrible all season long defensively.
24:10
I'll highlight some of the stuff quickly, but I mean you can kind
24:12
of get a general idea. They've been terrible everywhere. Bottom three d rating,
24:15
bottom two rim defense, bottom four three point defense, bottom two transition,
24:19
bottom four pick and roll, bottom three catch and shoot, and bottom
24:22
three in offensive rebounding points allowed per game. I mean, you can check
24:27
out. You can just pick anybody in the Jets have a good game,
24:30
and they likely will. Jazz are pretty equally as bad defensively. They're dead
24:33
last in defensive rating in February, dead last in three point defense, bottom
24:37
two catch and shoot defense, and dead last in transition defense. So you
24:41
can start to make a case for this as a game stack. I wouldn't
24:45
go too overboard with it being a big slate, but two to two people
24:49
on East side, I think you could definitely get there. I'll start in
24:52
the Atlanta side, like you said, But Johnson Murray, his role has
24:55
been amazing. In the first game with that would try young. We have
25:00
a pretty big sample sized dating back to last season in games without trade,
25:03
but just last game he had had nine minutes of touch time put up twenty
25:07
five to eleven and nine. The usage rate has been great, he I
25:11
mean, the matchups awesome. The Jazz are dead lasting DVP to point guards
25:15
this season, so I don't think I need to tell you guys how great
25:17
we played to Johnson Murray tonight. He'll be definitely popular, but I'm kind
25:21
of okay eating that chalk. I do think with the current role, the
25:23
current matchup, he's probably a mid nine K player and we're getting him at
25:29
eight point nine K. Jalen Johnson played really well last game as well.
25:33
Has three straight double doubles and six double doubles in six of his last eight
25:37
games. Added some playmaking to his Statlan last night as well put up our
25:41
last game put up seven assists against Orlando. Great matchup here. I love
25:44
firing up Jalen Johnson in fast paced game environments, which is exactly what we
25:48
have here Jazz dead last transition defense, so should give him a pretty good
25:52
scoring boost upside in this game. Bogdan Bogdanovic. I made the downside case
25:59
for boged one last game versus Orlando. He kind of got there. I
26:02
guess he put up, you know, thirty thirty DK points, which was
26:04
fine at his price tag. I believe he was like five point six K,
26:07
five point seven K, something like that. But the Orlando they were
26:11
really good with their catch shoot defense, where the Jazz are complete opposite bottom
26:15
two catch shoot, dead last three point defense. I do. I hate
26:18
to play a guy that's gonna be as high owned as Bogdan who's extremely shooting
26:22
dependent, but this is probably the best possible match for him, so I'll
26:26
definitely have some I think he has pretty big upside at six point three K
26:29
in this matchup. Sadik Bay very similar, good catch shoot guy five point
26:33
nine K looking at fifteen to sixteen percent ownership. And then DeAndre Hunter,
26:37
another guy that I will continue to play at low ownership. He looks like
26:41
a really strong pivot to Sadik Bay. I mean this is it's the same
26:45
spot. He's six hundred dollars cheaper, coming with a third of the ownership.
26:48
He's played twenty eight minutes and three of his last four games, scored
26:51
no less than twenty nine point twenty five DK points in all four of those
26:55
games, and he's giving you pretty good leverage off of Bogdon in Bay.
26:59
Hopefully we can get a thirty minute game out of Downeon Hunter, because if
27:02
we do, I think that he could absolutely smash. And then on the
27:04
jazz side of things, Laurie Markenen really good spot for him, gonna come
27:10
with ownership seeing around sixteen percent on him, but he's had he has all
27:14
the scoring upside in the world here. Had a pretty good bounce back game
27:17
versus San Antonio. He was struggling a little bit going into the All Star
27:19
break, but he shot five of eight from deep Atlanta cannot defend catcher shoot
27:23
scorers. Lorie is the top point per game catch shoot scorer this season.
27:30
Hawks also bottom three in DVP too small forwards. I really like the spot
27:33
for him. Consectson in a pretty good spot as well. Probably gonna see
27:37
a lot of de Jonnte Murray defensively, I would assume, but Dechonte has
27:40
not been the same defender a season before. He's you know, kind of
27:44
preserving a lot of his energy for offense, especially with Trey Young outs.
27:48
I think that Sexton could get there. Would not expect a lot of minutes
27:51
out of sex and though he's been kind of topped out at like twenty seven
27:52
to twenty eight most games. I do like the spot for John Collins,
27:56
though he's been playing really well lately. Put up will double in four of
28:00
his last six games, thirty one plus in five of those games, and
28:03
even topped out at forty four DK points in one of those games. Hawks
28:07
are a bottom four picking and a roll roll man defense bottom nine in DVPS.
28:11
The center, I think that he could have a pretty solid game here
28:12
at six point three. K Clarkson has a really big role off the bench.
28:17
As the six man played thirty two plus minutes and six straights. I
28:19
like him having shooting guard small Ford eligible as well, is really big.
28:23
And then Kiance George. I think he's going to go overlook tonight. Five
28:26
point seven K. We've seen what the upside can be for him. Has
28:30
not shut the ball great, kind of gone ice cold from deep in the
28:33
last two games. Shot three of ten from deep in those two games.
28:37
But this is a pretty solid bounce back spot for him. I think that
28:38
he's going to get Bogdan Bogdanovic on defense, who is no good, So
28:42
I like him at five point seven. K should be really low owned.
28:45
And then last one I'll mention is Taylor Hendricks. I think about twenty six
28:51
minutes is probably the ceiling cap for him from a minute standpoint, but he's
28:56
taken five to three pointers in both of his games he started, only made
28:59
one in all those games. But if he gets a couple more of those
29:02
to fall, I think that we could kind of see a little bit more
29:03
of a ceiling game out of him. He's a really I don't want to
29:07
say good defender, but he's got really good steals and block up sides,
29:11
which is kind of what they drafted him for. So I think that he
29:14
could have a pretty solid game at four point one K and gonna be pretty
29:18
low owned compared to where he was last game. I feel like I've been
29:19
talking for us. I'm gonna go and mute for a second. Bro that
29:23
was insane, hell will break down indeed that I don't even know. It's
29:27
hard for me even to add up or like to follow that up. So
29:30
I'll give you, get some water, get some that. I'm gonna fight
29:33
a couple of questions back at you, because I would be doing Injustice if
29:37
I hadn't broke down any player game on that. So take a breath,
29:41
got it. I got a couple of questions for you in this game,
29:42
it is the game of the night. Answer these questions. We'll get onto
29:45
the next one. Long win and breakdown of your team. Though that was
29:48
absolutely insane minutes that limit is right? All right? We got first question
29:52
Hendrix Orlanie Walker obviously a little different positions, pretty similar price though, go
29:59
with that. Uh chat is killing me. They got some funny, funny
30:03
comments in there. Oh yeah, I was dying at those two and then
30:07
you had you. I was dying at the comments, but about the ven
30:10
diagram. But then I your a breakdown was so good. I actually forgot
30:14
about that and I was dying at that. But yeah, I didn't have
30:17
that on my bingo card. When you were talking, you said the three
30:18
circles. I was about to say ben diagram, but I was waiting for
30:22
you. If you put it together. That one had me dying too,
30:25
But the brains got me. Yeah, I just got that important Hendrix Silani.
30:34
Yeah, I think I think Lonnie's probably got more upside, but the
30:37
game environment is much worse. I think it really depends on your I don't
30:44
know, it kind of depends on your line of construction, but I think
30:48
I'll side with Lonnie just because I think the upside is a little bit bigger
30:51
and Taylor Hendricks being a rookie not playing, not shooting the ball super well
30:55
in particular, So yeah, I'll probably go with go with Lonnie there.
31:00
Someone asked Capella's minutes cap. My guess is around nineteen seventeen, his first
31:04
two games back, what probably twenty, And it's not even the matchup they
31:07
need him with how small they like, If they're smart, they just what
31:11
match him up with Walker Kessler and they do something like that. But thoughts
31:14
on the minutes cap you're not playing them, Yeah, no, I'm not
31:17
not looking at Capella, but yeah, there's definitely gonna be a minutes cap
31:19
on him though, just kind of what we why we've seen Jalen Johnson rebounding
31:25
a take a big spike because he's been kind he's been getting a lot of
31:26
the small ball five. I mean that's another reason why I like DeAndre Hunter,
31:32
because he's been he's been kind of verty over. Yeah, he's been,
31:34
uh been getting a lot more minutes as like a you know, the
31:38
three for him, Sadik Bay kind of taking over the three four spot.
31:42
But yeah, yeah, definitely Capella on a minute's limit right now for sure
31:47
coming off of the I believe it was an Achilles injury, right, Achilles
31:51
Soren is something like that. Yeah, but yeah maybe yeah, So then
31:56
I love Jalen Johnson with Vicounte George. Yeah you got cold. Hey,
31:59
it was just what three games ago when we were over before the break at
32:02
nine. He can do it for you tonight. I wouldn't be surprised to
32:06
see your boy in that big lineup. I'm not pressuring on any of these
32:08
though, real I'm just talking out loud and seeing what your lineup is and
32:12
if I'm right, But definitely a great game. You always love yourself,
32:15
Lowri bog Down, you like that, Chalk sounds like you. If you
32:17
had to pick one at bogged On, Chalker Dejonte, what would be?
32:22
I would go to Jontay for sure. Jontay Yeah, Jones but was really
32:25
good in college too. Yeah, Hoopers for sure, great game environment obviously
32:30
the DeAndre Hunter Lowe call. How many? Last question on this one?
32:34
Any rules slash maxes you'd make on either side? And I promise we're doing
32:38
with this game now. We could spend all the time we need to on
32:42
this one. I love talking about my my Utah Jazz and their terrible defense.
32:45
Usually a rule that I'm looking to make on the Jazz side of things
32:49
is Max two of Sexton, Clarkson and Cante George, definitely Max one Collins
32:57
and Walker Kessler, and I think that's probably it. I'd probably throwing Chris
33:02
Dunn with Sexton, Clarkson and George as well, Max two of those four
33:07
and Max one Collins Kessler, and then on the Atlanta side of things,
33:15
I would probably be Max two of bogged On Bay and Hunter. You could,
33:20
even if you want to be aggressive, I wouldn't. I don't think
33:22
that Max one is too crazy, but probably Max two of those three.
33:27
And I think I think the john Saint Jalen Johnson are kind of find where
33:30
they are. I love it. Gekai for making the joke. Had to
33:34
go rewatch that. Yeah, I'm gonna have to go rewatch that too to
33:37
finally get everything I was dying about. Ven diagrams and then he just kept
33:40
locking in with them billion different stats numbers DVP. Yeah, absolutely insane,
33:45
But hey, if you want all that info when even when Rio's not on
33:49
shows, Ship and Nation members do get it in the slave Plan, the
33:52
things he just talked about, that's what he researches. That's the numbers,
33:55
that's the data he puts in that Sleigh Plan. Top tier, mid tier,
33:59
lower tier in the Discord all the time, as long as a lot
34:01

34:39
Hopefully you had enough time to breathe this game. None of these games
34:43
should be as long as that one. Philadelphia seventy six ers Boston Celtics two
34:46
thirty one total, Boston big favorite sitting at twelve. Injuries in this one
34:51
still without embid kJ Martin is questionable for Philly, which means nothing. I
34:55
see nothing on the Boston side. No injury news in the game usually means
35:00
no injury news. Big spread, it usually means not much interest pretty much
35:05
across off for me. What about you? Yeah, not a ton of
35:08
interestings in this game. I just want to hit on Newan's question real quick.
35:12
Yeah, he's definitely topped out. Are topped at like twenty six to
35:15
twenty seven minutes. They're just trying to run out all these guards. They
35:17
only have enough minutes to throw around. They definitely want to get Keanty,
35:21
George and Clarkson in there, so I think that's where he's topped out.
35:23
But yeah, this game me one second. Yeah, sixers they've been.
35:31
They've been really bad defensively since losing Joel Embiid. They have been bottom three
35:37
defensive Grady team in the month of February, giving up the fifth most three
35:40
pointers per game, third most catch and shoot threes per game this month.
35:44
Their transition defense has also been pretty bad all season long, where they're bottom
35:47
seven in the league. Celtics been great defensively all season long, not really
35:52
looking to attack them in particular, but the one area that they do give
35:57
up a good amount of points to is pick and roll. Ball handlers mentioned
36:00
that the last time we talked about the I might've been on the show with
36:02
Hamdwich, but when the Knicks and the Celtics faced off, I was really
36:08
high on Jalen Bronson because he's one of the top pick and roll scores from
36:12
my points for game perspective this season, Tyres Maxie's kind of up there as
36:15
well. I don't know where he ranks among the league, but if there
36:20
was a spot to attack the Celtics with, it would be with the pick
36:22
and roll ball handlers. So I like Maxie pretty much as the only guy
36:27
on the Philly side of things, and then on Celtics, Tatum is kind
36:31
of He's pretty tough for me to get to. I mean, the matchup
36:35
is kind of fine, but he's just not really flashed a big, really
36:37
big ceiling in quite sometimes the ceiling rankings number are not that good for him
36:42
as well. In a really large sample size. We have thirty two games
36:45
sample size with him at this price tag or less, and he's only six
36:52
x the current price tag nine percent of the time, which is just not
36:53
going to cut it. At nine point a K, I think I would
36:58
rather get down to Jalen Brown with two k price difference for the reasons I
37:02
mentioned about the Sixers being a worst transition defense. He's one of the top
37:06
transition scores in the league this season. He showed a pretty big upside last
37:08
game as well. Chrisoffs Porzing has been playing really good. Kind of the
37:12
theme of the slate with a lot of these power forwards center eligible guys projecting
37:15
really well and getting ownership. But he's been playing really well. Sixers allowing
37:20
the third most catch shoot points per game in February, so I like him
37:22
as the third best catch shoot option on the Celtics, and then same for
37:27
Derek quite same reasons. He's second on the team in catch and shoot points
37:30
per game. I think somebody pulled up some stats about him at performing really
37:35
well against the Sixers in three games this season. I'd have to go way
37:37
up in the chat to find it, but I think he's topped like forty
37:39
points in all three of those games. But really those in the main three,
37:44
I'm looking at Jalen Brown, Porzingis and Derek White. I don't think
37:45
that there's enough upside on Drew Holiday with the team fully healthy. Yeah,
37:50
I mean Chad's been on fire to him. I go scroll back and find
37:53
that comment. So right, we trusted there also gat breakdown, I got
37:58
really nothing add I'm fainting that game. I'm pretty much fading this depending on
38:01
injury news. If the Q tags are into this Pelicans next game, I'm
38:06
fading it. We'll go to Reo about if then scenarios. But first time

Rio again, when I hint to that. Pelicans Knicks two seventeen total,
38:44
Pelicans four point favorites, CJ's questionable, Zion's questionable. I'm the knick side,
38:50
Brunson's questionable, heart and Stein's questionable. If they're all in, easy
38:53
fade for me talk if you have leans on these guys, and then like,
38:58
if some of them are out that you might think are out, what
39:00
is that change because obviously bruns is out A CJ, Zion, do you
39:04
want exposure to this game? If they're all in? I don't want it
39:07
pretty close, Brad. It is at seven thirty, so hopefully we do
39:09
get it before lock. But yeah, break down this one and any leans
39:14
on the Q tags and then what they do if they're out. Yeah,
39:17
start with the Pelican sids. I think it's a little bit easier to break
39:20
down. I think that all these questionable tags with Zion and CJ are likely
39:23
in. CJ did practice yesterday, missed. You know, he left early
39:30
the last game he played with the ankle injury, but he practiced. I
39:31
think that he's probably back tonight. Maybe maybe a slight minutes limit, but
39:37
I would assume he's probably fine, back to normal. Zion, I think
39:40
that he plays as well. I believe he was that shooter on this morning,
39:45
So I believe those two guys will be in, which kind of takes
39:46
away a lot of the upside of the guys that we were playing with.
39:50
The Ingram, the Joe Vows, the Trey Murphy, Herb Jones also,
39:54
Herb Jones side has been playing out of his mind lately. I think he's
39:58
got like a seventy eight percent shooting percentage from three point range or from kett
40:01
and shoot range in the past month or so, He's been playing amazingly and
40:06
he's a great defender, so I love to see that. But the Knicks
40:08
guy's a little bit more questionable. On the downside of questionable, with the
40:14
midday downgrades Jayleen Brunson, this is a complete new injury with the neck.
40:19
I mean, all these guys are just playing huge minutes, so it makes
40:22
sense to try to get these guys some night off eventually. But I mean
40:25
Brunson, Brunson, Devincenzo, Josh Hard has been playing as many minutes as
40:30
they could possibly handle. Brunston's been playing great this month as well. Yeah,
40:34
if he misses, then we can look to guys like Alec Burks,
40:37
Miles McBride. Miles McBride has played pretty well in the absence of Brunson,
40:40
but he got priced up to four point five case. I wouldn't think that
40:44
he's a locked by any means, but I would probably prefer him to Dennis
40:49
Schroeder because I know that McBride is probably going to get thirty five minutes in
40:52
this game. If if Jilen Brunson were to be out, we would see
40:57
a lot more usage and the DK scoring upside from guys like Josh Hart He's
41:02
averages forty one point one five DK points per thirty six. With Brunton off
41:07
the court. Dante He's okay thirty five point seven seven DK points per thirty
41:12
six. But the Pelicans have been pretty bad versus three point shooters this season.
41:15
Precious and Jericho Sims their numbers look okay. They could do something funky
41:22
with this lineup though. If Harnstein were to miss, I there's a chance
41:24
that we could see Bogdanovic slide in as the the four, and then they
41:29
move up Precious to the five, which would I mean that makes that make
41:30
things pretty interesting. We'd see pretty big rebounding upside from Precious, probably a
41:35
lot more from Josh Hart as well, who's already been rebounding the ball amazingly
41:38
with the Mitch Robinson, Jewis Randall al with Isaiah Harnstein being on the minutes
41:43
limit, so the spot could be pretty interesting if if both those guys were
41:46
to miss, I think you're looking to to Bojan Hart McBride would be the
41:51
main ones though. Yeah, definitely this game. If Brunson or Hartensteiner somehow
41:57
both, it definitely would change a slate, and it is that seventh already
42:00
assuming Pelicans guys are in, like you think, easy fade. If Knicks
42:04
guys are in, I'm fading if they're out, though hopefully we do get
42:07
it before lock. Yeah, like the Dante's Hearts with your breakdown, I
42:09
definitely agree there. So just say, I guess they're the Utah Hawks teams
42:15
that seven thirty two, so we don't have to worry about that. If
42:16
somehow the news was late, I assume a good amount of roster spots will
42:21
still be open for that seven thirty news. But keep an eye on the
42:23
Knicks. Of course, our projections will be uploaded part and signs out Hertenstein
42:29
will get taken out. Updates will be made throughout the night. Three games
42:31
left rie O San Antonio Spurs, Minnesota Timberwolves two twenty three total, another
42:37
big spread, Timberwls twelve and that point favorites. Injury report in this one.
42:40
Go Bear Questionable Towns is out. So that's kind of what we talked
42:44
about pre show. Without Cat SloMo gonna be very popular. Four point seventy
42:49
k Ants, Conley, Jaden McDaniels. If Go Bear plays, definitely some
42:55
of these Timberwls are gonna be owned Spur side, not so much. Someone
43:00
asked earlier about Wemby touch on him, but I guess touch on Spurs sized
43:04
quick first because it's gonna be quacker and then go to the other side.
43:07
Yeah, not too interested in these Spurs guys. Timwolves, regardless of the
43:12
injuries, they're one of the I think they're the top defensive rated team this
43:15
season. Have not really looked to attack them in DFS. Wemby always has
43:20
huge upside. He showed it a couple of times past two three games whatever.
43:23
It was a lot of conversation in the chat and discord a couple of
43:29
nights ago about Wenby not being a ten K player, which is just ridiculous
43:32
in my opinion. But I mean, he's got a huge upside in any
43:36
matchup, regardless if it's good or bad. So I think you're you know,
43:39
this is probably the one of the few times you're getting him at sub
43:44
five percent ownership. If you wanted to get over the field with him,
43:46
I think that that totally makes sense. But I don't think I'll be going
43:51
there in my in my one lineup tonight. So they're pretty easy to break
43:53
down. Not really look into many of the Spurs guys and then the Minnesota
43:58
guys. I mean Anthony Edwards. He already had a really great matchup and
44:01
it just got even better now with kar Anthony towns Out. I don't have
44:05
the numbers pulled up with the on off stuff, but he's obviously gonna be
44:07
thee a big increase in usage. Spurs are dead last DVP T shooting guards
44:13
this season, and in one game this season that Cad missed, I think
44:15
it went for like fifty eight, had ten assists in that one. So
44:20
he's a great spend up option nine K. I think that you could play
44:22
him and Desjount Murray in your lineup and feel pretty good about it. Gobert
44:29
is interesting because he's been he's been dealing with this ankle thing for a few
44:31
games now, miss last game. We saw Carl Anderson step in for him.
44:36
If he misses here, then min Nas reed at five point seven K.
44:39
Probably set to the starting lineup, could be Luca Garza though mid priced,
44:45
mid price center, which would be really good. But I think that
44:50
actually I don't know, they could probably go to lucat guards because I think
44:52
they would they need the size of the defense. Yeah, you would definitely
44:55
be Yeah, I mean i'd be interesting for sure. Yeah, it'd be
45:01
really hard to get away from a mind price Center. But I mean,
45:05
you don't know, it's a it's a it's a last game or the last
45:07
long time on the slates. You might get him pretty low owned. So
45:09
definitely have to keep an eye out or keep our ears open for any news
45:15
on Rudy Gobert. But yeah, Kyle Anderson's gonna be pretty hard for me
45:17
to get away from tonight. Four point seven k small Ford, powerful power
45:21
forward eligible, Definitely a spot that I'd like to spend down for value.
45:25
Definitely be playing him a ton tonight. He's been really good this season filling
45:30
in for car Anthony Towns filling in for Rudy Gobert matchup is totally fine too.
45:34
So yeah, I'll be looking to Anthony Edwards and Kyle Anderson in this
45:37
one, and then maybe Nas and Luk at Gars if we get Rudy Gobert
45:39
news out. Yeah, that's definitely interesting. It's the last game, so
45:44
I will say we're gonna touch on Chicago game. Fooch is definitely gonna get
45:47
some ownership at center, so that can be one thing if you have Booch
45:52
in a couple other spots, and like a guards that does spot or does
45:54
start, guars that can go in and you can upgrade like another scrub to
46:00
some mid tier guy or something. Definitely play around with that if it is
46:02
like if no starts, we always know when nas does cards A three K
46:06
would be very interesting. I don't even think Cobart is the worst play if
46:09
he plays too, so I think there's definitely you can have some spots open
46:14
for the lake game. But yeah, that Cobart new is definitely a little
46:15
interesting spurside. Yeah, I wouldn't play. I mean, you can always
46:21
play Wemby. I don't think you're gonna play them on your main team.
46:22
I'd rather multiple other guys uh in the nine K, in the mid tier
46:27
as well, But no one's ever gonna say no to Wemby, but probably
46:30
Wemby or Bust Timberwolves obviously the slow mo at. But that Gobar news is
46:35
kind of interesting. Are we worried about Are you worried about a blow out
46:37
real in this one for any of these guys? Obviously big spread, but
46:42
I guess do you try and predict blowouts when you're building rosters too? Not
46:49
really. Yeah, I don't know. I think the Spurs have been playing
46:52
a lot better lately, and with no kar Anthony Towns, I think that
46:55
just kind of increases the likelihood that they could keep the game close. But
47:00
I don't I don't really try to predict blowouts, especially when we're talking about
47:04
guys like Anthony Edwards. He's just in such a good spot I would.
47:07
I mean, there's definitely certain times when you know a certain guy is like
47:10
the first one to be yanked in a big blowout, like a like a
47:13
Yannis or Damon Lillard or something like that. But I think that ant is
47:17
probably still going to get there even a blowout, So I don't really try
47:21
to predict it too much. Yeah, I'm with you. And the only
47:23
time is like if I'm paying twelve K for Luke or Yiannis, like if
47:27
you're paying that much. However, usually in spots like that like tonight,
47:30
I mean, their ownership kind of dictates that too, So you can take
47:32
the ownership discount foot the roster build and just because you're worried about a blood
47:38
if it doesn't, you got Giannis at five percent, with part of that
47:42
being the reason. So these guys. I wouldn't really worry about it too
47:44
much though about the blowout personally, two games left on the slates. Definitely
47:49
a one that will get some ownership. Like we just talked about in the
47:52
Chicago game, Piston's Bulls two twenty five total, Chicago ten and a half
47:57
point favorites. No, nothing really new. I mean you report on either
48:00
side. Bull is definitely gonna get some ownership though, Booch DeRozan Io.
48:05
I think I'll get a decent bit Caruso, maybe a little bit Kobe White.
48:10
Detroit side most I don't see any ownership going there. I don't really
48:14
have interest. I mean, how did that last possession? Man? And
48:17
then New York Detroit game yesterday? I mean, come on, man,
48:21
what do you what are they doing? But yeah, hard, foggy yesterday,
48:24
healthy team prices seem pretty good. They're all going to be low on
48:29
I guess maybe cater Bus, but I doubt I even get there. So
48:31
yeah, pretty much chicgo side. Talk about Detroit side first though, Yeah,
48:37
I agree that that last possession was its both sides like what are y'all
48:42
doing? Yeah? That was that was wild. The one time that you
48:45
don't really want the refs to to not blow the whistle. They don't,
48:51
which you know, it's it was kind of crazy. Just see uh sar
48:53
Thompson get his legs dove into I don't know if you saw the Monty Williams
48:57
presser afterwards, but just yeah, he ripped into the to the referees just
49:02
did not hold back at all. I'm assuming he's going to get a really
49:05
big fine coming his way soon. It out. Just take care of the
49:08
basketball, though. I get the rebound channing. I mean, come on,
49:12
man, that was bad. Yeah, but yeah, I mean the
49:15
Pistons they've been they've been playing a little bit more competitive basketball lately. They
49:20
I mean all season long, they've been a team to attack. In DraftKings
49:23
and fantasy they've been pretty bad. But in the in the month of February,
49:29
they're only bottom ten. You know, bottom ten is obviously not good,
49:31
but they were a bottom two, bottom three overall defense this season,
49:35
still giving up a ton of points at the rim, their bottom seven on
49:38
the season, bottom five this month. But they also are bottom three in
49:43
pick and roll defense, bottom dead last in pick and roll role men defense.
49:46
I think that a guy like Nikolabuvich, who I'm never too excited about
49:51
to play, but it changes a lot now that he has power forward eligibility.
49:54
I mean, he's in a really good spot here. I don't really
49:58
have anything negative say about him. The match is pretty good for him seven
50:00
point a K. He's been playing the playing really well lately, playing a
50:04
ton of minutes, been very consistent. He is my favorite of the big
50:07
three of the Bulls. I have the same kind of sentiment always with Damar
50:12
Derozen. Really good cash game play. I think he's a terrible GPP play
50:16
and if that comes back to bite me and he you know, he puts
50:20
up fifty five to sixty points, then so be it. But he's just
50:22
a guy I'm never looking to play, especially at ownership in GPP's Kobe White
50:29
usage has been coming down a little bit, the assist numbers are trending down,
50:31
but this is a really good spot for him. The shot volume is
50:34
still there. Pissons our bottom two and DVP to point guards this season,
50:37
so we know that the SHOT's going to be there. He's a pretty good
50:42
price, like seven point four K. Much prefer him to Derozen, but
50:45
he's behind Vucevic for me. And then Io, like you mentioned, I
50:47
mean, he's been playing amazing lately, playing a ton of minutes thirty nine
50:51
to forty one minutes in back to back games, put up forty three point
50:53
seventy five and thirty eight d K points in those games. He looks like
50:57
a really strong value option of five point four K. We'll get a ton
51:00
a ton of ownership, but I think rightfully so, he's just been playing
51:04
really well. And then I'm not looking to play Cruso at chalk. I
51:06
mean, you can just play DeAndre Hunter at the same small forward eligibility for
51:10
fourth of the ownership, which I will definitely be doing. And then on
51:15
the pisson side of things, Bulls they're dead last and catch and shoot,
51:20
and I mean by a pretty wide margin. They're along the second most three
51:22
point field goals per game in the month of January, bottom three pick and
51:27
roll roll men defense as well. So Jalen Duran six point nine K have
51:30
some interest in him. He's been racking up the boards literally sixteen eighteen and
51:35
twenty two rebounds and three of his last seven games, and a pretty solid
51:37
matchup for him. I don't think I'll get to K tonight at eight point
51:42
one K with you know, he played a pretty good amount of minutes last
51:45
night played he played thirty six minutes when he was supposedly on a minutes restriction
51:49
or like a you know, minutes restriction quote unquote. But with this being
51:52
get back to back there, they've really been trying to limit his his minutes
51:57
this season, especially coming off of the injury. So I don't think I'll
51:59
get on this big of a slate at eight point one K. Jaye and
52:02
Ivy not playing really great bast war right now. But I guess maybe there's
52:06
a little bit more upside for him if Kate were to be at all limited.
52:10
Theoretically, Simone Fontecio has a good notch up as the top catch a
52:15
shoe guy on the the Bulls, but I think that he's pretty pretty priced
52:20
up. He's played thirty minutes in all but one game since joining the Pistons.
52:22
But I don't think I'll get there at four point nine K for him.
52:25
Kind Of same thing for Quentin Grimes Catch a Shoe Guy, but four
52:29
point one K seems seems about right for Quentin Grimes. I don't think that
52:35
I'll get there tonight either. Yeah, I'm with you some Eddie asked a
52:37
bottle like. I don't think he's the worst play, but he got there
52:42
with stocks. He made a couple of threes in the second half. I
52:44
think there's better value on this slate. Even some of these Q tags could
52:46
open up better value as well. So I agree with you. There is
52:51
my favorite in that game. Again, I think that vouch is interesting,
52:54
like if or if Go Bears out Garza nahs. That sound like you can
53:00
if you have two three spots, you can come up with a three v
53:02
three with some news and scenarios in your head. You can get those guys
53:07
at a fraction of the ownership as if they were Go Bear was out maybe
53:10
if go Beart was out pre lock and it works like that. So that's
53:14
probably how how I'd use boots. But I definitely like IO one game left
53:17
on the slate. Again, appreciate everyone hanging out two hundred forty out there.
53:22
We appreciate it. While no hat zach Hey mixing it up man hockey
53:24
experience. I like that NHL bullet. I'm trying to get my mullet going
53:29
hockey. That's exactly what I'm doing, So trying to trying to work on
53:31
that over here, mix it up for you guys. But last game on
53:34
the night Charlotte Hornet's actually yeah, weekly, monthly, six month annual shipinnation
53:38
dot com and make sure to use that promo code Hoop fifteen gets you fifteen
53:44
percent off all the sports BGA, NBA, MLB coming up, NHL MMA
53:49
this week. Not a great MMA, car, I don't know if you
53:52
looked to real kind of disappointing with two ninety nine. I don't know if
53:54
I've seen a better main card man. I put in the insane gelatin Curtis
53:59
coin flips started off. That'll be nuts, but I ask him a little
54:01
bit, keep a rolling. Charlotte Hornets, Milaukee Bucks last game of the
54:06
night two twenty total bucks, big favorites at fourteen injuries Mawkey Bucks side,
54:10
Middleton's out crowded, is going to continue to start, Charlotte's side, Mamelo's
54:15
out. Nothing really changed for the injuries on both sides. Big spread,
54:21
kind of healthy teams at least pretty similar rosters as of late. I don't
54:24
know, Giannis, I probably would play over Luca. I think I don't
54:28
know. I'll ask you on that. I think I'll take the five hundred
54:30
savings and go Giannis and then you do get more time to adjust at eight
54:35
pm set of seven pm. Still I don't see myself, Dame brook Mia
54:38
chicch. I think all of them are fine, but there's a lot of
54:43
other better games, like give me that Utah landing game in coin flips over
54:46
this game, stuff like that. So how do you see it? Yeah,
54:51
I definitely agree with you. I'm definitely on side of Jannis over Luca
54:54
tonight. But I just did want to mention really quickly. I mean,
54:59
this Charlotte team, they've been playing really good defense post trade deadline. In
55:04
the first five games since they've acquired Grant Williams and you know, meet Chase
55:07
all the other guys that they acquired, they're first in defensive raiding over that
55:12
span. The room defense has been really good. But I mean on the
55:15
season averages, they're you know, bottom eight room defense, bottom seven catches
55:19
shoot defense, bottom eight pick and roll rule in defense. But I mean,
55:22
man, they've been playing really good defense, and it's kind of you
55:25
can kind of see that sometimes when you know, teams make trades and they
55:29
get some new guys, they get rid of some guys you know, I
55:31
don't know how PJ. Washington was in the locker room, but I mean,
55:36
this team looks pretty revitalized and they've been playing really good defense. Not
55:39
sure how long this is going to keep up because they still don't really have
55:43
the best roster, but yeah, they just want to touch on that really
55:46
quickly. Bucks also have been improving defensively. Their top nine rated defense in
55:51
February. Rim defense has been really good again, kind of going back to
55:54
their ways of being a three point funnel where they were kind of the opposite
55:58
earlier in the season. A lot of the sixth most three pointers per game
56:00
in the month of February. Still a team that gets killed by pick and
56:05
roll ball handlers, so the second worst in the league in points per game
56:07
allowed to pick and roll ball handlers. But the issue is the Hornets don't
56:12
really have a true point guard right now. They're kind of mixing in Miles
56:15
Bridges with some ball handling. Brandon Miller's getting some Trey mann Is is kind
56:19
of the you know, the on paper point guard. Michich has been out
56:23
there for a little bit more against some ball handing role. He actually leads
56:28
a team in ball handling scoring or pick and roll ball handling scoring the season
56:30
with Bridges and Brandon Miller right behind him. But I mean Michich, he's
56:36
actually he got tocked up a bunch by Steve Clifford last game after the game,
56:40
so I don't know, maybe maybe they're trying to get him some more
56:43
minutes. He's kind of kind of reminds me of like Facundo Compazo in a
56:46
way where he's a small European guard that they can kind of do a little
56:51
bit of everything. But yeah, I don't know, maybe maybe there's something
56:53
there at four K. Michich would would definitely make my player pool, but
56:57
I think he's probably the only one I'm looking to on the Charlotte's side,
57:00
and then on the Buck side of things, pretty much Giannis and Dame or
57:04
bust for me Yiannis. He should be able to have his way with this
57:07
team that historically this season they've been really bad with their rint protection bottom six
57:13
DVP to power forwards. The season, he's been a little bit underwhelming in
57:16
the three performances versus Charlotte, only put up thirty nine point five and forty
57:21
two point five in the last two meetings, but that was due to blowout
57:23
put up sixty two and a half in the first meetings, which I think
57:27
is probably the median outcome for him if we get the full minutes from Giannis
57:30
tonight. And like I mentioned, the Hornet's been a lot more competitive,
57:34
so maybe we do see thirty five thirty six minutes out of Yannis, and
57:36
I think that he probably has the top three highest upside on the slate when
57:42
given the minutes. That's not really a hot take, but and Dame,
57:45
he's been coming on scoring as of late forty two forty nine to fifty four
57:47
DK points in his last three games. Hornets have been doing much better job
57:52
taking away catch and shoot three pointers as of late. Kind of middle of
57:54
the pack in DVP versus point guards the season. So I think that he's
57:57
just an okay option eight point six K. Yeah, he seems I'm not
58:01
definitely not gonna call him de Rozan, but like he really hasn't shown like
58:05
is he gonna get you sixty five? Is he? I don't know.
58:07
I think he's probably in the fifty five range in a good game which you
58:10
take forty nine fifty four, fifty nine, forty two fifty. I think
58:15
Dave's definitely fine for eight for eight point six K, But I think I
58:20
like some of these other guys a little, like Dejonte. I know,
58:22
yeah, he's charl Hockey and Chad asked it, like Jordan said, probably
58:25
ten k soon, Like he just feels like such a better play. Of
58:29
course there's ownership discounting center, but on paper, match up game environment,
58:34
everything, like it's hard to click at least for me, a dame over
58:37
to Jonte. Of course you can't play in both though, would you go
58:39
Giannis over Luca if you have to pick? Yeah? And then what's what's
58:45
Gomposo up to now? Is he overseas? He's overseas playing somewhere. I
58:50
think so. Yeah. I was actually kind of surprised that he didn't stay
58:52
with Denver because he fit that team pretty nicely. But he was fun to
58:55
watch. He was Dollar Tree Draymond, Like, if he was on your
59:00
squad, you like him. If not, the dude is so annoying,
59:01
But yeah, he's a scrapper. Alvarado, Bavos, all those dudes,
59:06
great slate, great job, Brio. Nine games again, there is two
59:08
