  Fall. System's going clear living. What's going on everybody? We're back talking
• 0:38
  some hoops after the holidays. Hope everybody out there had a very merry Christmas
• 0:43
  or whatever you celebrate. New Year's on the horizon. Million dollars up top
• 0:47
  tonight. Rio very pumped for that nice little nine game slate. Love how
• 0:51
  it's spread out with two games at six. I guess where I'm at,
• 0:54
  two games at seven Eastern, five games at eight Eastern, A, ten
• 0:57
  eastern, A, ten to thirty Eastern game. How they do that?
• 1:00
  Love seeing a lot of familiar faces in chatty. I hope everybody had great
• 1:03
  holidays out there, enjoyed it with some friends, family, or just by
• 1:07
  yourself watching some sports. Throw it to you, Rio, how is your
• 1:10
  holidays? What's going on on this fine Tuesday afternoon. Yeah, everything's good
• 1:14
  over here, Just on vacation with the fam right now. Got a house
• 1:18
  full of dogs, houseful of people. So same old, same old.
• 1:22
  But yeah, that's an interesting slate. Not you don't really have a ton
• 1:26
  of the main spend ups like the Jokis, the Lucas. The highest priced
• 1:29
  guy in the slate is ten point five k, so it's gonna be interesting
• 1:33
  to see how the builds shakeout in terms of that. But yeah, a
• 1:36
  ton of injury news as always with these big nine game slates, could definitely
• 1:40
  make or break the slate depending on how the injury news goes, so definitely
• 1:45
  talk that through and give our best lean on those types of things. Yeah,

  tons of cute tags. We'll go game by game mic always if then

• 3:13
  Appreciate everyone hanging out as always as I will say this too. FanDuel
• 3:16
  only seven games, so FanDuel took the DK what they did last week and
• 3:21
  cut out the last two games of the slates. So if you're playing over
• 3:23
  on fandel, you do not have to worry about the ten and ten thirty
• 3:27
  Eastern games. DK did include them. All we asked from you guys,
• 3:30
  like Button subscribe, Button housed us out a ton. We're on our way
• 3:35
  to five thousand subscribers. We got to be right there, so head over,
• 3:38
  hit or I don't even head over. We're on the Shiping Nation channel,
• 3:40
  We're not on Male Media Network. Hit that subscribe. Once we get
• 3:44
  five thousand, we will be giving away an annual package real any thoughts again,
• 3:51
  a lot of injury news will go questionable tags like Trey Young victor women
• 3:54
  Yamba both questionable. Both did go through shoot around, so I'm expecting them
• 3:59
  to play again. A lot of other Q tags. When we go game
• 4:01
  by game, we'll mention them. But any final thoughts besides I like what
• 4:03
  you said about the ten point five K. I mean Luca, Jannis,
• 4:08
  ad Bron, all the big boys played yesterday, so you're forcing the more
• 4:12
  of a mid tier build. Any other thoughts though or should we just go
• 4:15
  game by game? No, I'm ready, let's do it showing five K,
• 4:17
  let's go. I did not refresh, so be on the lookout for
• 4:20
  an annual membership that we'll be given. I think it'll be the Thursday show.
• 4:26
  There we go. Love to see that reading five K. Sorry I
• 4:28
  didn't I doubted you guys for a second. I didn't even fresh on my
• 4:30
  YouTube. But hey, if you haven't hit it, hit it already.
• 4:33
  But that annual will be given out, I believe on Thursday show with Tamba
• 4:38
  hooping myself. Do not quote me for sure, though, but be on
• 4:41
  the lookout for that. We appreciate all the support as always, looking forward
• 4:46
  to stay hot. Someone in the RP or someone in the Ship and Nation
• 4:48
  channel. Yeah, I had no tough scenes. Man, it's been close.
• 4:51
  It's been a lot of years, but yeah, a lot of people
• 4:56
  at Ship a Nation in those twenty five hundred million street Hopefully someone here,
• 5:00
  ship something, ship something big lay the house. Rio's in there, Tambo's
• 5:04
  in there, I'm in there, a couple other members as well. So
• 5:09
  cogressive. What if four five k oh Congress on five day? Thanks,
• 5:15
  thank you for that. Still in Whisko, Yes I am. I'm gonna
• 5:16
  be out tomorrow morning, bright and early though, heading back to Arizona.
• 5:20
  So I'm excited for that and hopefully I have an extra million in my pocket
• 5:24
  on the plane ride home. Let's go game by game, Mike always first
• 5:27
  game of the night, seven pm, Eastern Brooklyn. That's Detroit Pistons two
• 5:30
  twenty eight and a half total. Brooklyn is favored by six and a half.
• 5:34
  Going to the Brooklyn side for the injury report. Nothing we have to
• 5:38
  worry about. As far as the Detroit side. Killian Hayes is questionable.
• 5:43
  I want to say, I might have just gotten new. Did we get
• 5:45
  any news right before we came on about killing Yeah, he just got he
• 5:48
  got it. He was downgraded. He was probable going into up to the
• 5:53
  show and now he's questionable. And then Asar Thompson, I believe he got
• 5:57
  Yeah, he got downgraded to probable. Yep, So Startops is probable thirty
• 6:00
  six minutes ago. Killian Hayes downgraded to questionable. Talk to me if that
• 6:05
  does anything like Jade and Ivy Alec Burks. Again, there's two games that
• 6:11
  start at this seven pm window that we have an hour window where the five
• 6:15
  other games start, and there's a lot of injury news in it. So
• 6:17
  I think ownership in these first two games relatively low. And I think this
• 6:23
  game especially, I don't know, man, it looks really really low.
• 6:27
  So is there any low on pieces you think you can get behind lock in
• 6:30
  the spot, contrarian spend, get out to an early start, or is
• 6:33
  it just more of a face But no I definitely have some interest in this
• 6:36
  game, mainly on the net side of things. Well, it's sort of
• 6:43
  the Pistons because they're gonna be They're getting some guys back, So Jaalen Jalen
• 6:46
  Duran is going to be returning from injury most likely, and I'm not sure
• 6:48
  if he's gonna be back in the starting lineup. Last time he was,
• 6:53
  he missed some time with the ankle injury. He came off the bench in
• 6:56
  his first game, still saw a starter like minutes, got to twenty nine
• 6:59
  minutes. So I still expect him to get to that twenty five to thirty
• 7:02
  minute range and probably be that will take James Wiseman. Probably knocked down some
• 7:09
  Marvin Bagley as well. I mean, we're not we're not looking to play
• 7:12
  those guys, but it's definitely gonna I mean, Jalen Duran has a pretty
• 7:14
  solid price tech considering how solid he was earlier in the season six point five
• 7:17
  K, but hopefully it says that low for the next couple of weeks just
• 7:20
  because he's a stud. But he needs to needs to get healthy first.
• 7:26
  Yeah, if Killian Hayes is out, I mean, regardless of Killian Hayes
• 7:29
  interer out Jayden Ivy should be starting. He's been playing much better than the
• 7:31
  starting lineup, and he was already He was spotted in a starters jersey at
• 7:36
  practice this morning, so he's he's fine, He's gonna be starting. But
• 7:42
  it don only have a ton of interests on the Pistons in general. I
• 7:44
  like the spot here a lot for mchal Bridge is Cam Thomas, Spencer,
• 7:47
  Dinwoodie. The Pistons obviously are one of the worst teams, probably the worst
• 7:51
  team in the league. Haven't won a game since October, and their defense
• 7:55
  has just been awful. They've been one of the worst in tier defenses this
• 7:59
  season with During off the court, so definitely getting him back will help him
• 8:03
  out of time. But they're still the Pistons are still getting killed by winging
• 8:07
  and guard opposing guards. So all these guys are in a pretty good spot
• 8:11
  here. They're all kind of priced right around each other. Seven point four
• 8:15
  for McHale, seven point two Cam uh six point nine k for Dinwitty,
• 8:20
  and on our DVP DVP chart, it's a really good matchup for guards.
• 8:26
  I think Cam Thomas Dinwitty in really good spots. I think one of these
• 8:31
  guys gets there, I think one of these guys has a really good game.
• 8:33
  I will take the lean on McHale Bridges just because we just saw him
• 8:35
  go off in the same matchup a couple of days ago, and it's a
• 8:39
  really good price sac for him seven point four K. He's been in the
• 8:41
  eight k's low eight k's most of the year, so I think when you
• 8:45
  have all these guys kind of priced right around each other, McHale is the
• 8:48
  preferred option. He's not gonna be low on. I think he's coming in
• 8:50
  with a good amount of ownership. I'm seeing around twenty is percent for him,
• 8:54
  so you're not getting him low on like he was he was last time
• 9:00
  that the team's played. But still it's a really good spot for him.
• 9:01
  So I like him a ton and just me those three guys on the net
• 9:05
  side of things, and then the Pistons. I don't think it's too crazy
• 9:09
  to go back to Kate here. A point three K is a really good
• 9:11
  price tag. He's still doing everything for the Pistons. I mean, he's
• 9:15
  not going to go super in depth on the numbers, but his role has
• 9:18
  just been elite, just leading the team in every ball handling category. You
• 9:22
  can think of, and a point three k really good price sect for him
• 9:26
  when he showed sixty points upside just two or three games ago. So I
• 9:30
  don't think it's too crazy to get into this game a little bit, pretty
• 9:33
  solid game total, and I think you'll begin these guys are pretty low ownership.
• 9:37
  Yeah, the two that really set out or if I went anywhere,
• 9:39
  Kate is the only guy on the Detroit side. He definitely will be contrarian.
• 9:43
  I'm in the usage thirty plus in most games. He chucks the ball
• 9:46
  very in and again, very very low ownership. M Cal Bridges. Yeah,
• 9:50
  I think he'll probably be somewhere around twenty percent. Maybe. I still
• 9:54
  do think people will be a little hesitant to click on these first two games
• 9:58
  a little bit. Paulo and the other game is going to get some ownership
• 10:01
  too, But Bridges will be the highest in this game. I don't know.
• 10:03
  I am debating. I got a couple of teams that in that twenty
• 10:07
  five hundred if I want to go Contrarion Caid cam Thomas. When you're talking
• 10:11
  about a little more thirty percent usage in four of the past five games,
• 10:15
  we know he's a hooper, very scoring dependence and I guess a little.
• 10:18
  I don't know. I can't really say it's like leverage off of McHale,
• 10:20
  who's going to get some ownership. But if cam Thomas is chucking and he
• 10:24
  puts up a fifty burger, you knows he's going to be probably taking some
• 10:28
  shots away from Bridges. Obviously, basketball there's a lot of ways to score
• 10:31
  DFS points. Probably just didn't what He's definitely a distant three for me.
• 10:37
  Think he's fine as well. We'll be very low on as well. But
• 10:41
  I am debating Caid a little bit of him on Detroit side. I do
• 10:43
  like mckel and I like the cam Thomas shout a little more interest than I
• 10:46
  initially did. I'm always a sucker for him though, because he's just such
• 10:50
  a hooper at the end of the day. But forty real points and forty
• 10:52
  five DK points is definitely in the realm of his possibilities to Bridge is the
• 10:56
  only one to really get some ownership. I like it though. Hopefully a
• 11:00
  lot of people in chat saying the Pistons finally going to break their losing streak,
• 11:03
  etc. Six and a half. Hey, that's not too bad of
• 11:07
  a spread. Hopefully it does stay close no love for Claxon, any thoughts
• 11:11
  on it or Darren sharp Man, He's absolutely not last game, but the
• 11:13
  prior to games only eighteen minutes point are per minute monster, I don't think
• 11:18
  I can get there in the five k's. But any thoughts on Claxon,
• 11:22
  I don't think I really want it, but anything, No, I don't
• 11:26
  think I want to go there with Jalen durn Back. I mean, he's
• 11:28
  pretty expensive for Claxon, and I think that just the minutes are not as
• 11:33
  secure for him. I mean he's kind of fluctuated between twenty five to thirty
• 11:37
  minutes every game, so it's kind of a little bit tougher. I think
• 11:39
  that we can find some better spots at center for sure. Tonight. I
• 11:43
  like it, And does Killy and Hayes like like Jade and Ivy's been crushing?
• 11:46
  He said for Kaid if it's at midday down grade, I don't think
• 11:50
  it really does too much for Kid. Do you give him a little boost?
• 11:52
  Though? If Hayes is out and again, Ivy's already starting, So
• 11:56
  does Hayes news do anything for you? No? If anything that just secures
• 11:58
  Ja nineties minutes more? Yeah, he should see me, he saw thirty
• 12:03
  five and two straight games. I think that is probably around where it he'll
• 12:07
  be if this game were to stay close. I just don't there. I
• 12:09
  think they're kind of starting to get away from the killing Hayes and leaning into
• 12:13
  Cad and Ivy more just because they have pretty, uh pretty high draft capital
• 12:18
  capital on these guys, and Killian has just kind of been an afterthought,
• 12:20
  So I don't think it really does much. I think it would. It
• 12:24
  would maybe give I mean, that's going to take like Sasser out of the
• 12:28
  lineup, but you're not looking to play in these guys. But I don't
• 12:31
  think. I think that Ivy and Kid are pretty secure where they are right
• 12:33
  now, regardless of Killian's status. Cool in lay of the house. Look
• 12:37
  at these future millionaires. Unfortunately you got to take the s off. Only
• 12:41
  one can be crowned a millionaire today. I really hope it's one of us
• 12:45
  too, or you or Tamba or someone in the community. But hey,
• 12:50
  we're live. That's all we can ask for. Somebody is going to be
• 12:52
  very happy two nights. Hopefully it is someone over here, and maybe it
• 12:56
  is because of Kid. The bridge is that cam Towns in that game.
• 13:00
  Let's keep it rolling. Next game, the second of two that starts at
• 13:03
  seven pm Eastern Orlando Magic heading to Washington. Good sized total two thirty eight
• 13:07
  and a half. Orlando is favored by seven and a half. On the
• 13:11
  Orlando side, pretty big news. Jalen Suggs continues to be questionable. He
• 13:15
  has continued to miss, though Gary Harris will continue to start in his place
• 13:20
  if so. Joe Ingles is also questionable. He has also missed. I
• 13:24
  mean, if he comes back, you're taking a little more wing minutes from
• 13:26
  some of these guys. Not sure how much it means. It's that Houston
• 13:31
  guy. I think that is the would take the biggest downgrade. He's cheeks.
• 13:35
  Anyway, you're not gonna play him regardless, but Ingles Jalen Suggs.
• 13:37
  Suggs news means a little bits. And then as far as the other side,
• 13:41
  no injury news on the Washington side, they have like a million bodies
• 13:46
  on their team, and in terms of ownership for this game, Wizard's side
• 13:50
  gonna be very low owned. If I got to anyone to be Kuzma contrarian
• 13:54
  spend at one or two percent, has that upside? Not sure I see
• 13:58
  myself going there with limited teams on the Magic side, Paulo, I think
• 14:03
  he gets a little bit of ownership. Frons definitely been hooping for them as
• 14:05
  well. Cole Anthony's been hooping too, but the price has come up.
• 14:09
  If I would need it, sugs to be out to get to Cole Anthony
• 14:13
  myself. Still, I'm not sure how strong we play at six point seven.
• 14:16
  K talk to me about him. Paul always tilts me. Man,
• 14:20
  he definitely has some upside, but at a three there's so many others like
• 14:24
  I prefer Kate, I think, especially at way lower ownership. I think
• 14:28
  Franz is my favorite in this game, but I definitely don't like him much.
• 14:31
  You can easily fade it. That's my lean, But it's now a
• 14:33
  hot take. Paul gonna get some ownership though, What about you? Yeah,
• 14:37
  I mean that was a great breakdown. I think that we're pretty much
• 14:39
  in line here. Wizard's side is pretty easy to break down. They're gonna
• 14:43
  they have a million bodies. Like you said, Delon Wright's gonna be back.
• 14:48
  Landry Shamitz backs. I mean, you're taking away minutes from Jordan Coole,
• 14:50
  who is already kind of you know, his minutes have been up and
• 14:54
  down this year just with his play, I mean, Denny's gonna come down
• 14:56
  a little bit. Tys Jones won't see a huge minutes ceiling anymore. So
• 15:01
  I think that you can pretty comfortably just x out this team minus Kuzma.
• 15:05
  But I mean, he's projecting as a pretty strong value for us right now.
• 15:09
  I think I'm okay getting away from it though. This Magic team has
• 15:13
  surprisingly been one of the best defensive teams in the league all season, Top
• 15:16
  four overall defense, They're top half of the league and pretty much everything rim
• 15:22
  defense, three point defense. So I'm kind of thinking this game is a
• 15:26
  pretty big blowout pretty quickly. I mean, obviously we know how bad Washington
• 15:30
  is defensively their dead last overall defense, but this should be a good game
• 15:33
  environment regardless for the Magic side. Like you said, Paulo Franz, I
• 15:39
  think those are the two main guys you're looking at. Definitely a great matchup
• 15:43
  the Wizard's dead last and Rim defense, and both of those guys are going
• 15:46
  to be operating down there mainly. I think I am in line with you,
• 15:52
  though I think I prefer Fronds in this one. I was looking just
• 15:54
  historically, I know that this is You know, we're talking about a single
• 15:58
  game here, but I mean historically, Franz's crushed in this matchup. He
• 16:02
  has games in the season against the Wizards of fifty two point three draftings points
• 16:06
  and forty six draftings points. So I mean the ceiling hasn't really been there
• 16:10
  lately. He's kind of taken a back seed, hasn't gotten over what I
• 16:15
  had forty seven two games ago against Milwaukee, but before I was there.
• 16:18
  Maybe that's that's why I know, because him and his brother Mo that pick
• 16:21
  and he was dominating them. And I will say, Jonathan Isaac Bro they
• 16:25
  talk about good why they're so good in the in the paint when he plays,
• 16:27
  that man is a freak. He was, he was he was owning
• 16:30
  y honest, Janes is getting pissed. It was fun to watch. Yeah,
• 16:33
  I saw the highlight of him blocking Giannis a couple of times. I
• 16:36
  mean, yeah, he's he's a stud defender. He's definitely a huge difference
• 16:38
  maker. Don Low happy to see him getting healthy, but yeah, I
• 16:44
  mean, yeah, Franz hasn't been great lately, so I think you kind
• 16:48
  of have to take that into account. But just the matchup is so good
• 16:49
  for both these guys, so I would not fault anybody for choosing either one
• 16:53
  of them or both of them. I think they both could definitely get there
• 16:56
  in this matchup. I think if you're playing both, you might I want
• 17:00
  to try to correlate it a little bit. I don't know if you necessarily
• 17:02
  need to, but it would make a little bit of sense to get to
• 17:04
  get to like a Kusma. But you're taking up all of your forward spots
• 17:07
  if you do that, So maybe maybe not. But yeah, paul and
• 17:10
  Franz definitely in great spots here, and I would definitely have interest a little
• 17:15
  bit of interest in Cole Anthony if Jalen Suggs is out. I mean,
• 17:18
  his minutes have been pretty solid. Usage is there. We know how good
• 17:21
  he is, how how good of a fantasy score he is. If he's
• 17:22
  getting the minutes he had forty six in that same game against Milwaukee, Yeah,
• 17:29
  he can definitely get there. Six point seven k's a lot to pay
• 17:30
  for somebody coming off of the bench, but he's uh, he'll get the
• 17:34
  starter like minutes most likely if if Suggs were to be out. But mostly
• 17:38
  just interested in Paulo and Franz in this one. So how do you compare
• 17:41
  them to Cade, Michel cam Thomas, Because I'm leaning all of those other
• 17:48
  guys in that other game over this choose, especially an ownership like I think
• 17:52
  paul is probably going to be higher on than Bridges or maybe it's pretty close,
• 17:55
  but eight point, yeah, I think paul gets, especially if Sugs
• 17:59
  is out. I'm leaning Cade Bridges that side a little more. You have
• 18:03
  a lean, I think you should probably just go with the ownership plays.
• 18:08
  I think I'm seeing a little bit less on Paulo here, just probably because
• 18:11
  he's more expensive. But I mean this is a better, probably a better
• 18:15
  overall matchup for Paulo than it is for McHale, So I guess I'll lean
• 18:21
  Poulo. He's been been crushing lately too, so I think he's in pretty
• 18:25
  good form. So I think I think I'll lean with with Paulo here and
• 18:27
  if Talk and those two and then yeah, I don't know. I mean,
• 18:33
  I like, I like Caid a lot as low an option, but
• 18:36
  I don't love it. I think there would be probably better spots to look
• 18:38
  at. I mean, at the end of the day, there's it's a
• 18:41
  nine game slate again, we'll get there's a lot of que tags that can
• 18:44
  change the whole slates. I don't think you want to go overboard on these
• 18:47
  first two games. If I do, I'm picking probably two max and all
• 18:51
  my lineups at least hand building lineups, and it's probably gonna be the STUS.
• 18:56
  I don't see much value like people talking goga. I do not think
• 19:00
  we need to go to go go on this slate to really just pick a
• 19:03
  stud if you want to do it otherwise, wait for news and we're ten
• 19:06
  locks at at a pm Eastern, which I assume a lot of my teams
• 19:10
  will be doing as well. Let's keep it rolling. Next game on the
• 19:12
  slate again, appreciate everyone hanging out. Take one second out of your day.
• 19:15
  Hit that thumbs up, helps us out of town, hit that subscribe
• 19:18
  on the way to ten k A lot of people, a lot of words
• 19:21
  in this out there, taking Tambo's lingo, coming up with new stuff.
• 19:25
  So I love to see that. Next game on the slate. Utah Jazz
• 19:27
  heading to San Antonio two forty two total. You're Utah Jazz favored by three
• 19:33
  and a half. On the spur side. Wemby is questionable. He did
• 19:37
  participate and shoot around though, so I'm expecting him to go as far as
• 19:41
  the other side with the Jazz not seeing any Yeah, no news on the
• 19:48
  Utah side that we're waiting on, man, I what are your thoughts?
• 19:52
  So, so Can's gonna get some ownership in this game, and we always
• 19:56
  talk about It's like, I'm good fading socan ownership, especially expecting Wenby to
• 20:00
  be in. He does have point guard and small Ford eligibility, which is
• 20:04
  nice. Devin Vassell, Caldon Johnson, Wemby. I don't know, I
• 20:10
  think, Butzell's interesting. Wemby always as a Kittrarian span. He looks to
• 20:15
  be pretty low on this late Utah side, tougher to get to. I
• 20:18
  think the only one at the price tag is lowri But man, eight point
• 20:22
  six k you really can't miss s here Utah Jazz though, maybe you can
• 20:25
  talk to me with a hidden jam. What are you seeing on the on
• 20:27
  the Spurs side. Yeah, so yeah, we talked about Jamy Skin all
• 20:33
  the time. I mean, I'm not a huge fan of this guy's game,
• 20:36
  just offensively, he really does not provide much. He's just like kind
• 20:40
  of like a putback, like getting open dunks, like layup type type guy.
• 20:44
  He has no real ability outside of that. I mean, he's an
• 20:47
  okay passer, but yeah, definitely if Wemby is in, that takes off
• 20:49
  a ton of upside for him because he's been been doing a lot as a
• 20:53
  rebounder lately. So I think having Wenby out of the lineup has definitely given
• 20:56
  him a pretty solid floor for rebound So I think I can safely fade him
• 21:02
  like I probably would just x him out of my personal player pool if Wenby
• 21:06
  is in, I'm totally fine getting away from somebody that has a floor in
• 21:11
  the teams at twenty five plus percent ownership. But yeah, I mean,
• 21:15
  overall, this is probably the best game environment on the whole slate. It
• 21:19
  just sucks that it's these two teams because the Jazz, well, we'll start
• 21:25
  with the matchups splies. So these are to the bottom seven, bottom six
• 21:27
  rated defenses. Spurs are a top three pace team. Both these teams are
• 21:33
  bottom seven or the Spurs are bottom seven, rim defense dead last and three
• 21:37
  point defense, and the Jazz are the second worst three point defense in the
• 21:41
  league. Both these teams are first and second worst in transition defense as well.
• 21:45
  So I mean realistically, this game should blow or I should have a
• 21:48
  pretty high point total. Obviously it's a two forty two over under. But
• 21:52
  the downside of this is that both these teams, I mean, for the
• 21:56
  Spurs side, you never know what Popovic you're gonna do. I mean,
• 21:57
  Calden Johnson was the starting lineup last game. Just randomly, Wemby rolled his
• 22:03
  ankle on a ball boy's foot and was a late scratch. So you know
• 22:07
  they're bringing in Julian Champagne. Either they're playing Chetty, they're playing Doug McDermott,
• 22:11
  They're playing all these guys minutes, so it's really tough to pinpoint which
• 22:15
  is going to be the guy to kind of separate himself from the group.
• 22:21
  The guy that I have the most interesting for sure is Devin Vessel. Matchup
• 22:26
  wise, this is one of the best matchups for opposing guards. If you
• 22:29
  look at our DVP ranking, we have him, We have the Jazz dead
• 22:34
  Last and DVP versus combo guards. So, I mean, Vesel is in
• 22:38
  a really good spot here, and he's probably the safest option in terms of
• 22:42
  minutes. It's probably him in Sohan or the safest for their minutes. I
• 22:47
  don't think that they're gonna really like Pop won't bench these guys. I think
• 22:49
  that he's kind of trying to develop them a little bit. Not really too
• 22:52
  sure why he benched Kelden, but he was still on his way to playing
• 22:56
  starter like minutes. I think that he's probably fine too, But I'll definitely
• 23:00
  preferred the Cell just for the matchup on the Spur side and on the Jazz
• 23:03
  side. I mean, this is probably as healthy as they've been all season
• 23:08
  long, so it's kind of you can really make a case for a few
• 23:15
  of these guys, but you got to start to whittle down your player poo.
• 23:18
  I think you could just X out Sex and thhd X out Olenix,
• 23:22
  Semoni fontechi Oshag Baji x out Chris Dunn. So that way you're left with
• 23:26
  four guys to choose from, and that's John Collins, Walker Kessler, Lauri
• 23:30
  Markin, and Jordan Clarkson. And I definitely have a preference for Laurie and
• 23:33
  Clarkson just for this being such a good matchup for three point shooters. The
• 23:38
  opportunity costs is a lot because there definitely is downsides to both them with how
• 23:44
  deep this rotation is for the jazz right now. But you know, Laurie
• 23:48
  definitely had He's shown sixty plus point upside. I mean, there's really not
• 23:51
  a better matchup for him to have a good game in than this one.
• 23:53
  Got to thirty nine minutes last game against Toronto, so he looks to be
• 23:56
  fully back from from his hamstring injury. He'd probably be my favorite option on
• 24:00
  the jazz side. Very very sketchy to pay eight point six K for him
• 24:04
  because there is that the bottom could fall out pretty quickly. But I think
• 24:07
  if if he has a big game, you can get paid off pretty handsomely
• 24:11
  with him looking at you know, less than three percent ownership, Yeah,
• 24:15
  I like I've seen Paula again. I think Paulo Bridges probably in the twenty
• 24:19
  percent range or something. Marketing could be sub five percent, similar price.
• 24:23
  Definitely interested some marketing in no one else on the jazz side. I like
• 24:27
  your Vasell call, though I don't know. I don't know if I have
• 24:32
  the stones probably all land on Socan or Sohn and some teams and be really
• 24:34
  tilted at myself when he does absolutely nothing, because I think he does get
• 24:38
  some ownership now if Wemby's out, which again he participated and shoot around and
• 24:44
  expect him to play. If he's out, though, then you can load
• 24:47
  up on all these It's still pop, it's still the Spurs. It's still
• 24:49
  Sketchyes that Colens would slide in to the five. Still, the minutes are
• 24:55
  kind of capped and the price is up there. But then so hands away
• 24:57
  better play, but Cell is a better play Branham. Then you're looking at
• 25:02
  a good amount of spurs, but we're expecting him to play. He went
• 25:04
  through shoot around and it sounded like he could have went that game, or
• 25:08
  like it was more precautionary. They taped him up and decided to hold him
• 25:12
  out. Obviously, he's the future. They don't need to try and win
• 25:17
  right now, so obviously that made sense. But I'm expecting him to give
• 25:19
  it a go. Man, the Sohan stuff, I already know. I'm
• 25:22
  probably gonna have a little and he's probably gonna really tilt me. But he's
• 25:26
  looking at one of the higher on plays on the slate. I like to
• 25:27
  becel pivots for one thousand dollars more. Let's keep it rolling. Next game
• 25:33
  on the slate, Indiana Pacers taking on the Houston Rockets. Another big total
• 25:37
  two thirty eight and a half. Houston is favored by three. No injury
• 25:41
  news on the Houston side Indy side. Bruce Brown is out, which is
• 25:45
  actually important them Hard I expect to start again talk about highest player or highest
• 25:49
  owned player on the slate. I think it will be Andrew Nemhard looks like
• 25:53
  pretty good chalk to me. Five K coming off a monster game. I
• 25:56
  shouldn't say monster game, very very game eight for ten from the field thirty
• 26:03
  six minutes. Still only twenty five DK points though, and again I think
• 26:07
  he comes in again. A lot can change. There's so many Q takes.
• 26:11
  It really only takes a Wemby being out to switch the whole slate when
• 26:15
  in turns of ownership, Nemhart's gonna be owned, though, what are your
• 26:18
  thoughts on him? But again I think Buddy Healed might get some ownership,
• 26:21
  Jalen Smith might get some ownership. And then looking on the Rocket side,
• 26:26
  I always got interest in Sengoon, always got interest in Fred van Vlietz,
• 26:29
  and of course shame on me Tyrese Helber and ten point four K. You
• 26:33
  definitely know I have a little interest there. Not the best matchup. Tar
• 26:37
  Easton is another one. This game's good man. How many is too many?
• 26:41
  Talk about Nedhard to start though, because I think he's gonna be very
• 26:42
  popular. Yeah, so yeah, Nemhard got the start last game for Bruce
• 26:47
  Brown. Bruce Brown already ruled out like you said, he actually he probably
• 26:52
  could have gotten close to forty minutes. I mean, if you if you
• 26:55
  were paying attention to the game, which I'm assuming a lot of people were
• 26:57
  if they played in them hard. He actually picked up two quick fouls,
• 27:00
  so he'd lost some minutes in his first half rotation. And still I think
• 27:03
  he played twenty one second half minutes, So I mean he's he's gonna play
• 27:07
  a ton of minutes. They definitely need him for his on ball defense.
• 27:11
  He'll probably get the uh the Fred Van Fleet matchup, So I think he's
• 27:15
  yeah, definitely a good value right now as it stands. If obviously,
• 27:19
  like you said, if Wenby where to where to be out. I mean,
• 27:22
  there's also some other injury news in this Chicago Atlanta game which could open
• 27:26
  up some more value. But you could. This is why you don't really
• 27:27
  want to load up on this four PM game. Four PM games that you
• 27:32
  know, maybe take one or two pieces then move on and just kind of
• 27:34
  backload a little bit, wait to see for the injury news because there's definitely
• 27:37
  some big ones. But I'm gonna be honest, I was doing my my
• 27:45
  normal ride up for my slate plan, just getting myself kind of prepared for
• 27:48
  the show, and this I didn't. I wasn't able to get through every
• 27:49
  single game, So this is one I'm I didn't. I did not ride
• 27:53
  up, So I'm a little bit behind on that. Had a had a
• 27:56
  late night taking care of a puppy and just it's Christmas. Yeah, you're
• 28:03
  grind so hard every day. Man, you got to enjoy life once in
• 28:04
  a while, so you know, totally fine. But yeah, I mean
• 28:07
  we know how the Pacer is going to play their extremely fast paced They're a
• 28:11
  terrible rim defense. I still I believe they're still dead last in in second
• 28:15
  worst rim defense now. So yeah, I mean, this is a great
• 28:19
  matchup for everybody on the Houston side. It definitely would probably prefer Singoon.
• 28:26
  He's been just playing great lately. I think he's kind of flipped a switch
• 28:30
  ever since he got benched a couple of games ago versus Atlanta and yeah,
• 28:33
  last two games ago against Dallas that was the huge blowout. He got forty
• 28:37
  seven and a half draftings points in twenty five minutes. Last game, he
• 28:41
  had sixty five draftings points against New Orleans, which is, you know,
• 28:44
  it's a not as easy as a matchup versus the Pacers I saw. I
• 28:47
  definitely have a lot of interest in Sengoon. This is one of the best
• 28:49
  matchups you can ask for for an imposing center. I think I'm okay with
• 28:56
  oh Man, Fred van Fleet's have been struggling last couple of games, but
• 28:59
  I'm still okay with going down. I don't want to get too too deep
• 29:02
  into the game log stuff. I mean, you look back three games ago,
• 29:03
  he crushed versus Atlanta, crushed versus Cleveland, so he's definitely still got
• 29:07
  the upside. Nemhart is a really solid defender, though I think there's a
• 29:11
  lot more downside to Fred van Fleet than there's the same Goon because Nemhart is
• 29:18
  He's definitely a very very solid defender. Outside of those two though, like,
• 29:22
  not a ton of interest in these guys, because I mean, Jabari
• 29:25
  Smith all the way up to seven point one k that we're you know,
• 29:27
  we're used to having him around like six point two six point four K,
• 29:30
  which is a lot more comfortable for him. He has shown good upside lately.
• 29:34
  But I'll I'll think I'll just x him out of my playfort right now,
• 29:40
  just not looking like a great value. Yeah, I'm okay with getting
• 29:44
  away from pretty much everybody else besides Tarry Easton. Five point six K is
• 29:47
  a really solid price sect for him, and we've been seeing his minutes tick
• 29:49
  up. Had thirty minutes and back to back games versus Cleveland and Milwaukee,
• 29:53
  then came down a little bit after a one game absence against the Pelicans,
• 29:59
  got up to twenty minutes. But but we know how good he is,
• 30:00
  we know how good of a fantasy point from minute guy he is, so
• 30:03
  he could definitely make the playerpool. Five point six kis really solid price tag
• 30:06
  for him. And then on the the indie side, I really have a
• 30:10
  ton of interest just because Houston is they played pretty slow and they are one
• 30:15
  of the better defenses in the league. Actually, Haliburn's not really been playing
• 30:21
  to the same level that we're a customed to with us. He was earlier
• 30:22
  in the season. Did have a good game last time out versus Orlando,
• 30:26
  so maybe he's turned the corner, but I think I'm okay with getting well.
• 30:30
  Actually, I guess on the nature of the slate, ten point four
• 30:33
  k is is pretty cheap for a stud when you're considering the highest process three.
• 30:38
  He finally got off to thirty nine minutes, which is a big thing
• 30:41
  because his minutes came down a bit. Matchup is pretty tough, though I
• 30:44
  don't know. Everyone knows I'm the biggest Haliburn Homer out there, so don't
• 30:48
  listen to me much. But I'm very much considering what about him, or
• 30:52
  like Buddy or something like that, or if you do play that hard,
• 30:55
  how many pacers would you be comfortable with? Probably just one more outside of
• 31:02
  Nemhard. I'd probably just be a maxiwe of this situation, not including nemhar,
• 31:07
  just because I don't think that this is the best game environment. You're
• 31:11
  looking at some pretty solid price tags and all these guys. I mean,
• 31:14
  Turner's price tag is coming down a little bit, but seven k still seems
• 31:17
  a little steep for him at the center position, which you usually were looking
• 31:21
  at that spot for value. So I think you know, he'll definitely go
• 31:22
  overlooked, but rightfully so, I guess Buddy heel does make a lot work.
• 31:26
  But if I'm not mistaken, this Rockets team is one of the best
• 31:30
  three point yeah, their top five three point defenses defense in the league,
• 31:34
  and that's where Buddy's gonna get most of his his work done. So I
• 31:37
  think that it's kind of just nem Hard and then Halliburn would probably be the
• 31:44
  ones that are making my player pool personally. I got I guess still got
• 31:48
  a little interest in Jabari Smith. The price tag definitely feels way up there.
• 31:51
  I just can't these last three games thirty seven thirty forty one minutes the
• 31:55
  usage. I mean, he's beneficient, no doubt about that, But eleven
• 31:57
  eight to thirteen Bore's twenty six twenty one, thirty four points. Young guy
• 32:02
  feels like he's coming into his own matchup is good. I do have a
• 32:07
  little interest there. I've interested in Easton too. I don't really want to
• 32:09
  play them together. Easton only got twenty minutes his first game back, but
• 32:14
  eleven shot attempts twenty three percent usage. Like when he's on the court,
• 32:16
  he's actually doing something. It's like Sangoon a lot centers loaded like it always
• 32:22
  is. Thoughts on Jalen Smith too, I see him popping a little bit.
• 32:28
  I think it's more of a price play right now at four point.
• 32:31
  I mean it has to be just be a price played. Miles Turner is
• 32:35
  there right now. The value isn't great on this slate. Again, it
• 32:38
  just takes one or two injury news though to flip it all. So any
• 32:42
  thoughts on the Turner the Jalen Smith, I don't really want it now.
• 32:45
  He's just playing backup center minutes right now. I think that he's returned from
• 32:49
  injury two games ago, only got eight minutes in the first game against Charlotte,
• 32:53
  put up sixteen points, so that our projections were pretty heavy on him
• 32:57
  that day, so we it looked like we were off the race is going
• 33:00
  to get a huge game out of him. But I mean, I think
• 33:02
  he's fine for sure if he's if he's getting his normal backup center minutes,
• 33:06
  which would be around like eighteen to twenty. I think we have him projected
• 33:09
  for yeh, fifteen zo point three minutes right now, so I think he
• 33:14
  gets to like the sixteen eighteen minutes. He could definitely pay off the price
• 33:16
  tag. He's been always been a solid fantasy point for minute guy, so
• 33:20
  I think he's okay, makes a lot work on a slate that well,
• 33:23
  we'll have enough value most likely if things kind of shake that way. But
• 33:27
  if nothing, if we don't get the injury news that we need, then
• 33:30
  I guess he's He's definitely an option. Yeah, And that's again these games.
• 33:34
  That's why I don't want to lock myself in it too much early because
• 33:36
  so many of these Q takes over half. The slate starts at this seven
• 33:39
  pm or eight pm Eastern time, so I'm expecting someone to be ruled out
• 33:45
  that then we fly. That's why if Wenby's out, spurs guys, whether
• 33:47
  you like it or not, spurs will be popping. Spurs will be popular.
• 33:52
  And if Trey Young's out again, he went through shoot around. Though,
• 33:54
  if some news hits Booch, He's questioned when we get to that game,
• 33:58
  like, whoever is questionable that has ruled out? What stud is gonna
• 34:02
  dictate where the value goes? Because right now it's not looking too strong.
• 34:07
  Got the number two Halle Burton fan in this one, though he watched him
• 34:10
  play. Love that Ben a lot of Whisko people in the chat at Chipping
• 34:14
  Nation things you love to see next game on this lid. I do like
• 34:19
  Nemhart popular, I do like the singoon, Jabari Smith, Eason, Tyree
• 34:22
  I'm always a sucker for and I think Buddy is interesting, but I think
• 34:27
  a little less interest now, probably just ty Resee and Nemhart on that side.
• 34:31
  But if I land on Buddy and a team, you know he has
• 34:34
  that thirty five point upside, a real point upside to break us late.
• 34:37
  So I'm good with him. Houston side, though, I really like the
• 34:40
  Singo and shout ownership will be in check. Keep it rolling. Another game
• 34:45
  eight pm Eastern Atlanta Hawks head into Chicago two thirty five total. Atlanta is
• 34:50
  favored by one. And this is the injury news we're talking about on the
• 34:52
  Hawk side. Trey's questionable, Jalen Johnson's questionable, and it sounds like he's
• 34:58
  gonna come back tonight. Very exciting for that man. He was on He
• 35:02
  was on fire before that risk injury went up for the dunk and yeah that
• 35:07
  was all she wrote there. Who's my uh? That was tough scenes,
• 35:09
  But man, was he good? What does he do coming back to the
• 35:14
  offense to the guys like a Trey. DeAndre Hunter is out too, though,
• 35:17
  so Hunter out, Trey questionable, Jalen Johnson's listing questionable, expected to
• 35:22
  be back Chicago side. Vooch is questionable start with the Hawk's side and Jalen
• 35:29
  Johnson returning. Trey did go through shoot around, so I'm expecting him to
• 35:31
  play. Uh what do you see in this game? Yeah, So we'll
• 35:37
  definitely have to keep an eye on the starters because I would not be surprised
• 35:39
  to see them go with with Garrison Matthews still in the starting lineup and keeping
• 35:45
  Sadik Bay at the power forward spot. But they could easily just slide Sadik
• 35:47
  Bay down to the three and put uh Jalen Johnson back to the fore.
• 35:52
  So I think that when when Hunter is back, it's going to take away
• 35:55
  some a lot of minutes from Sadik Bay for sure. I think he'll probably
• 35:59
  be back to his normal role of a twenty twenty five minutes off of the
• 36:01
  bench, and we'll probably see a little bit less of a minute upside from
• 36:05
  a Yaka kong Wu who's been he's been playing more power forward lately, but
• 36:08
  I think with Jalen Johnson back, that would probably just shift him back to
• 36:12
  the backup center role. But Yeah, the guys like bogged On de jon
• 36:17
  Te Trey, they'll be fine. That doesn't really affect them much at all.
• 36:22
  But yeah, definitely brings a new dynamic to this team because they they
• 36:25
  could definitely use his athleticism, his his transition scoring. He's he's a stud
• 36:30
  man. I'm excited to see him back. I don't think that he will
• 36:34
  have too much of a minute's restriction if we're being honest though, because he
• 36:37
  it was a wrist injury, it's not not a lower body injury, not
• 36:39
  something like an ankle injury or a knee injury where he has to kind of
• 36:43
  ramp it up and get back to full speed. I think that he could
• 36:45
  be pretty full right away. And I think that, I mean, he's
• 36:50
  definitely playable six point four k. We're playing him in the seven k's throughout
• 36:53
  the year. Normally that's another Wisco boy just at that ends. Just bring
• 37:00
  hoopers out there pretty much pods. Yeah, I got a bunch of hoopers.
• 37:04
  But yeah, so Trey, he should be back or I should should
• 37:07
  play. I don't think that really too much at risk of missing of missing
• 37:10
  the game. He's just been on fire lately. I think his seven straight
• 37:14
  games thirty plus points, ten plus assist I believe that's the NBA record,
• 37:19
  just playing his best ball he's played in his career right now. And really
• 37:22
  it's a solid matchup for him too. The Bulls are a pretty big three
• 37:25
  point funnel. They're bottom five and three point defense. So if this ownership
• 37:30
  is real on him and we're looking at him at five percent, sign me
• 37:35
  up. He's projecting awesome right now for us. I have a lot of
• 37:37
  interest in trade just I mean, he's just in really good form. Having
• 37:40
  straight games of fifty nine or more that's insane. The minutes never under thirty
• 37:45
  five, Yeah, I overlooked that a bit, and that he's going to
• 37:47
  be low long, yeah, So I think I think he's a really solid
• 37:52
  spend up option. The downside to it, though, is that the Bulls
• 37:55
  are you know how slow pays this team is. They're gonna want to get
• 38:00
  set up in the half court offense, and you're just kind of hoping,
• 38:02
  I mean, the Hawks, they're obviously one of the fastest, fastest paced
• 38:06
  teams in the league, and you hope that the Bulls will kind of play
• 38:08
  up to their speed, which they should be able to. I mean the
• 38:12
  Hawks are. They're bottom five transition defense, bottom top what's their pace?
• 38:16
  I think the top four top three in pace this year, so hopefully the
• 38:22
  Bulls will play up. But yeah, have Tray's in. I think he's
• 38:25
  just the only one I want to look to right now. Don't mind playing
• 38:28
  a little bit Jayalen Johnson. Bog Don's been playing much better too, good
• 38:30
  matchup for three point shooters and his prices come down a lot. Six point
• 38:35
  five k is pretty reasonable for him. But yeah, have Tray's out,
• 38:37
  surprisingly, then definitely could go right to de john Say Murray, we already
• 38:43
  know how much usage he's going to command with Trey out of the lineup.
• 38:45
  And then on the bull side, it's a really good matchup for Damar and
• 38:50
  Vouch. Unfortunately, I say that because I hate playing these guys. They're
• 38:52
  just the downside is so big on them, especially when they're all healthy playing
• 38:58
  together. And I'll just consider the Kobe White, Vouch de Rosen the big
• 39:02
  three now since Lavina is out, I would just be a max one of
• 39:06
  the three guys. But it's hard to overlook the matchup for Damar and Vuj.
• 39:12
  The Hawks are twenty seventh overall, on DVP to opposing wings, which
• 39:16
  Damar is, so he he's been playing good too. He's more of a
• 39:21
  cash game play for me. I think just you're gonna get around forty five
• 39:25
  points from him. He rarely ever goes above fifty, has sixty maybe once
• 39:30
  this year, So I think he's okay, just more so a cash play
• 39:35
  or if he fits, you just have a forward spot left over at eight
• 39:37
  point two k then maybe you go to him. But I mean, if
• 39:40
  you look at the guy's price around him too, we're talking about Paulo,
• 39:44
  we're talking about Franz, and I think I prefer Polo and Franz over Damar
• 39:47
  just for their upside. But yeah, definitely a good match for him,
• 39:52
  really good matchup for VOUCH two. Always like attacking the Hawks with opposing centers,
• 39:57
  and he's He's been solid all year long, been really good lately,
• 40:00
  commanding a lot of usage. So I think he's definitely fine. A little
• 40:04
  bit less interested in in Kobe here. The efficiency upside has come down a
• 40:09
  lot, and he's gonna be guarded by Dejaonnte Murray, who we always talk
• 40:13
  about as being one of the better guard defenders in the league. So I
• 40:16
  definitely don't want to overthink that, and that would kind of just get me
• 40:22
  off of Kobe. But yeah, a lot interest in trading this game a
• 40:23
  little bit interesting Damar and Vouch. So yeah, Booch is questionable. We
• 40:29
  talked a little pre show. You think you expect him to play if he's
• 40:32
  not though Drummond, I mean talk about lack of value, and someone mentioned
• 40:37
  earlier. I think, yeah, right, here could be Travis. If
• 40:39
  Booch's out, he wants a lot of Drumm in, and he would be,
• 40:42
  by far, I think, the most popular value on this late I
• 40:45
  would probably have. I mean I did, I think I had one hundred
• 40:47
  percent freaking Paul Reid or something yesterday. So no such thing as a lot,
• 40:51
  but I would have so much Drummond as well. If let's just say
• 40:55
  Vooch is in traysing kind of like we expect. I think pat Will is
• 40:59
  gonna pet Will is getting a little ownership here, any interesting like Caruso.
• 41:04
  Like Cruso is gonna get the tray assignment, which is always the best matchup
• 41:07
  you can get. They can't hide them anywhere else. It's not like five
• 41:10
  four is cheap. Garden Ford eligibility is nice, but again we're talking like
• 41:15
  the value we have right now, assuming somehow all these Q tags are in,
• 41:20
  which almost never is the case. However, Trey's questionable went through shoot
• 41:22
  around. Wenby's question Will went through shoot around. So some of these big
• 41:25
  Q tags we're expecting to play, can you get to like a pet will
• 41:30
  if if all these guys are in. With the lack of value of Caruso,
• 41:34
  I guess Sidique Bay is not really cheap anymore. But thoughts in those
• 41:37
  secondary guys. Yeah, and then talked about Capella. If Boch was out,
• 41:40
  we we always the other side. Very few people talk about. But
• 41:44
  does that boost Capella if a Booch was out against Drumm. I don't think
• 41:47
  it gives them that big of a boost because I think VIC is not really
• 41:52
  that good of a defender as it is, and I don't think that Drummond
• 41:55
  is really that big of a downgrade. So I don't think that it's like
• 41:59
  a smash for Capella by any means. And also I do think that having
• 42:04
  Jalen Johnson back in the line could take a little bit of upside out of
• 42:07
  Capella's rebounding totals. And you're paying seven k for Capella, So I think
• 42:12
  that you can pretty comfortably get away from that that at least that's how I
• 42:15
  look at it. Yeah, I don't think that like Pat will and Caruso
• 42:20
  type plays are the worst things as like Last Man In. I don't think
• 42:22
  that they're great by any means. But Patrick Williams is projecting as a positive
• 42:27
  value for us right now, and I think that at that price SiGe,
• 42:30
  you're just looking for minutes and he's He's been getting close to thirty five,
• 42:35
  thirty eight, sometimes close to forty minutes in games, So I think that
• 42:37
  he's very much in play. Definitely less interesting Caruso, but shooting guard small
• 42:43
  Ford eligible is nice. He's just It'srusso, Yeah, it's Caruso, like
• 42:47
  it's it's eight points or it's like thirty. I just don't like I would
• 42:52
  look for something a little bit more secure at that range, But wouldn't I
• 42:55
  guess I wouldn't hate it if you land on him as the last Man in
• 42:59
  if no other value goes the way we needed to. But yeah, they're
• 43:02
  just okay. I don't see much that's screaming a great play by any means.
• 43:07
  Yeah, I'd rather much rather play Pat Will. I mean, look
• 43:10
  at these minutes. The least one, two, three, four or five
• 43:14
  six eight games he's played at least thirty minutes. The usage has actually been
• 43:19
  a little higher than you expect eighteen to twenty twenty one in there. I
• 43:22
  don't think he's the craziest. Play again, if no value opens up,
• 43:28
  I definitely don't love Pat Will. But comparing him to Caruso, I know,
• 43:31
  Genell and Smith cheaper and stuff, but hey, guy that's playing thirty
• 43:35
  minutes, thirty plus minutes on a slate, that value is tough. I
• 43:37
  think he's fine. Again, I hope I would love Booch to be ruled
• 43:42
  out. I would put all my chips on Drummond as well, or someone
• 43:44
  out. And that's why these nemhars is so hands That's why these guys are
• 43:47
  getting so much ownership, because when you compare them to other people in their
• 43:52
  range, I mean, Nemhart is always going to project way better for thirty
• 43:55
  five thirty six minutes as a ball handler with soul usage compared to guys like
• 44:00
  Caruso, like a Pet Will, But yeah, go win that MILLI real,
• 44:05
  go win that MILLI, baby, someone is gonna win that MILLI hopefully
• 44:08
  it's us keep it rolling though. Next game, big news in that one.
• 44:12
  Trey Young vouch monitor it. We expect both to play stronger lean Andre
• 44:16
  who did go through shoot around. Next game on the slates, Minnesota Timberwolves
• 44:21
  OKC thunder two to twenty seven and a half total. Ok SE favored by
• 44:25
  two. Again, big news on both sides of this one. Karl Anthony
• 44:29
  Towns is questionable. On the OKC side, Jillen Williams is questionable. Appreciate
• 44:35
  what we're talking a bit. You expect Jileng Williams to play it is an
• 44:37
  illness Looking at this game in terms of ownership, assuming both of them do
• 44:43
  play low low owned, I think SGA is a very interesting spend man,
• 44:49
  like a Tyrese SG. I think you're gonna say SGA. I think SGA
• 44:52
  is safer in terms of ownership. I think both relatively low owned. Outside
• 44:59
  of SGA, though, assuming everyone plays in this game, I don't know,
• 45:01
  chat Maybe it's tough for me to get to this the Minnesota side when
• 45:07
  it's ants and towns and go beart like all these guys are and there's so
• 45:09
  many miles, Probably not clicking any button there wouldn't heed Towns out then I
• 45:14
  think Gobert would be a strong play at seven point nine. K what are
• 45:17
  your thoughts though, SGA chat are the main ones? Probably just SGA though
• 45:22
  or boss? What do you see? Yeah? I actually side with Halliburton
• 45:27
  over SGA tonight. I think I like it. Yeah, I mean Minnesota
• 45:30
  they're I think the best team in the NBA right now, record wise,
• 45:34
  they're the best overall defense. And if there was ever a matchup or a
• 45:38
  player that could give SG like fits and maybe get him to a floor game,
• 45:44
  it's definitely Jaden McDaniels. I mean he's probably I would say a top
• 45:47
  three, the top five on ball defender in the league. I mean,
• 45:52
  he's just an absolute stud. Gives him Herb Jones Thible. How you ranking
• 45:57
  it, how you're ranking I'm going, I'm going McDaniel's Herb tyble. What
• 46:05
  throw the Vanderbilt in there? Where are you going with that? Jared Vanderbilt?
• 46:07
  Yeah, I think he's out there too. I would probably put him
• 46:12
  above table all right, love it, but yeah, I mean he's he's
• 46:16
  a he matches a really wealth SJA, really really lengthy. He's got a
• 46:21
  really wide wingspan, SJA is kind of an oversized guard, so I think
• 46:25
  that he's a This is a really good matchup for U or I guess a
• 46:29
  bad matchup for SJA going against j D McDaniels. I'm I'm going to take
• 46:31
  an underweight to approach on pretty much everybody on the Okay C side of me,
• 46:36
  I could this game is going to be fun from a like a real
• 46:38
  life perspective. Two of the best teams in the Western Conference. But both
• 46:43
  these teams are really really solid defenses that obviously the Wolves number one overall,
• 46:46
  even okay see, he is the sixth overall defense in the league. So
• 46:52
  I have not a ton of interest in this game. Pretty much no interest
• 46:55
  on the Okay C side. I guess if you wanted to get to like
• 46:59
  a GID who's going to be back, five point nine k is fine for
• 47:02
  him, he's been playing much better. Six point six is a little too
• 47:07
  expensive for Jalen Williams, I think in this matchup. But I could definitely
• 47:10
  see him getting close to forty minutes if he's clear to go. But I
• 47:15
  don't Yeah, I don't really have a ton of interest. Okay see,
• 47:16
  I think on the tee Wolf side, it's just it's really kind of predicated
• 47:21
  on Karl Anthony Town's availability if he is. If he's out, I think
• 47:24
  you can go to Anthony Edwards. It's also a tough matchup for him against
• 47:30
  Lou Dort, but I had Loudor is not on the same level. It's
• 47:32
  like a McDaniel's, like tible Herb Jones. He's a really solid defender.
• 47:37
  But I don't I don't think it's too big of a downgrade for Ann Edwards.
• 47:43
  And he's just been absolutely crushing lately, especially with Karl Anthony Towns off
• 47:46
  the floor. He's a massive usage rate up to thirty five yeah, thirty
• 47:52
  five percent usage rate. With Kat off the floor, his minutes have been
• 47:55
  just sky high. Rebounding has been solid at a couple double doubles, and
• 48:00
  these are double digit rebounds in these last couple of games. So I definitely
• 48:04
  have interest in and if Kat is out, and same thing for Rudy Gobert.
• 48:07
  If Kat is out, don't mind him. It's actually a pretty solid
• 48:10
  matchup for him too. Against OKC. They're one of the worst rebounding teams
• 48:15
  against opposing centers, and we obviously know that's where Rudy Gobert does all of
• 48:19
  his work. That's the one thing that he's good at is just grabbing boards.
• 48:22
  I could see him having a huge game, you know, if Kats
• 48:25
  out, maybe he gets to eighteen twenty rebounds and puts up a pretty solid
• 48:30
  score that way. So Tho would be my favorite guys on in this game
• 48:36
  if Kat was out. If Kata is in, pretty much exit this game
• 48:39
  out. I think any thoughts on very low owned chat assuming I think Kat
• 48:45
  would need to be in, but he'd get the Gobert assignments. He can
• 48:47
  stretch the cord I think. I mean, he took six threes last game.
• 48:52
  I think the three point attempts will be there. Any thoughts there forty
• 48:57
  or four s right games of forty plus again, matchup ain't great, like
• 49:00
  you're saying, but go Bear is not gonna step out and guard him.
• 49:04
  I mean he's gonna try and have to. But you what are your thoughts
• 49:06
  there on a very low owned chat at good center position? Yeah, I
• 49:09
  mean he could definitely make the player pool. I don't really see much that
• 49:13
  is just like screaming that he's like a good play because we know how good
• 49:15
  of a defender Rudy Gobert is. I guess he does have the upside to
• 49:20
  pull him out to three point line and get things going over there. The
• 49:22
  block upside has been massive lately to giving him a solid floor and a higher
• 49:28
  ceiling, So I think he's he's okay, just fine. I mean,
• 49:31
  you know, you don't want to be most people if you're only playing a
• 49:35
  couple of teams though, someone that you're just about at seven seven, you
• 49:37
  really don't want to go to. So yeah, makes sense. Yeah that
• 49:42
  game. If Kat's out, then people are talking like nas reed slow mo.
• 49:45
  Yeah, that's when all those guys would be in play. We're talking
• 49:49
  about Pat Will and stuff on this slate, So then the secondary pieces on
• 49:52
  Minnesota would definitely get bumps if Kat is out. Otherwise, Yeah, if
• 49:57
  you talked to me off of I don't know if I had want a team
• 50:00
  or something, I'd be fine with. But you like ty Resee more.
• 50:04
  Don't got to twist my arm for that, So all side with ty Resee
• 50:07
  as well. Three games left on the sleigh. Appreciate everyone hanging out over
• 50:10

• 50:14
  comments where off of work? So I can act like a full time DFS
• 50:17

• 51:31
  eight pm Eastern, the last game at eight pm Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans
• 51:37
  Pelicans two thirty total. Pelicans are favored by five on the Memphis side.
• 51:42
  Marcus Smartest questionable. He hasn't played since November fourteenth is when he got injured.
• 51:47
  If he does come back, definitely should be on a minutes cap,
• 51:52
  so you're not playing him, but he is Q TAG for this one.
• 51:54
  John Conchart is Q TAG with the illness and as far as down on the
• 51:59
  other side for the Pelicans, Cody Zeller's questionable, which means absolutely nothing for
• 52:04
  me in terms of ownership in this game. I think it's going to be
• 52:07
  very low owned if I had to get to anyone. Zion at seven seven
• 52:12
  is pretty interesting. Power forward eligibility is nice. Joe val minutes have been
• 52:16
  down the past two games. A bit before that, though, was absolutely
• 52:21
  smashing Ingram all the way down to eight, k Bang down to eight two.
• 52:24
  Now joh is back at nine to eight. There really is no value
• 52:28
  in this game or any of these studs standing out to you otherwise. Is
• 52:31
  it a fade? Yeah? I have a lot of interest in the guards
• 52:37
  on both sides of this game. John Morant, since he returned from the
• 52:39
  suspension, just pretty much stepped right back into his normal role, hasn't hasn't
• 52:45
  skipped a beat. I mean, they this was the team that he faced
• 52:47
  in his first game, and he went off for thirty four points, eight
• 52:52
  assists, and six rebounds in thirty five minutes, and he's just showed why
• 52:55
  he's still one of the best in the league. Matchup wise, this is
• 53:00
  a tough matchup for JAW going against Herb Jones, who we just talked about
• 53:04
  as a really solid defender. But I mean, he's kind of torched Herb
• 53:07
  Jones a lot, and I think that there is a little bit of rumblings
• 53:13
  going on with Herb just kind of I mean, his minutes have been really
• 53:16
  up and down lately. His his fantasy numbers have been way down lately.
• 53:20
  I think that he's just kind of playing a little timid right now and just
• 53:22
  knowing that the the plug could be pulled pretty quickly on him. If Trey
• 53:28
  Murphy is kind of out playing him, or if Nagee Marshall's out playing him,
• 53:30
  He's kind of just playing a little bit more timid right now, not
• 53:32
  not doing too much. So I think that you know, Jaw, if
• 53:36
  he gets him into foul trouble, he's gonna be matchup against a much weaker
• 53:39
  defender, and the Pelicans only have a ton of interior defense. Jones found
• 53:44
  Chuna is not the best interior defender and Jaw is going to be driving to
• 53:45
  the basket all game long. Grizzly's playing much faster and paced since Jaw returned,
• 53:51
  too, after being one of the slower teams. They were one of
• 53:52
  the least efficient offenses in the league without Jaw. But yeah, just one
• 53:58
  player can really turn things around for a team, so he's definitely in play.
• 54:00
  I don't I like him a lot as a spend up, and I
• 54:02
  think I prefer him to Sga even in a tough matchup, just because he
• 54:07
  he has a little bit more upside, just with the the peripheral stuff.
• 54:13
  Already had a double double with the assists eleven assists last game in thirty six
• 54:17
  minutes versus Atlanta, which is also a tough matchup for opposing point guard.
• 54:21
  So I have a ton of interest in Jaw. Desmond Bain as well.
• 54:24
  The offense is going to be running through Bain and Ja Morant pretty much every
• 54:29
  single time that they're out there, and Bain will definitely have a lot of
• 54:32
  usage. He'll he'll split some point guard minutes with Jaw when he's off the
• 54:37
  court. So I don't mind Jaw or Baine at eight point two k.
• 54:43
  It's a pretty popular range though, for talking you know some of the same
• 54:45
  guys in that a point two eight point four K range with a forward eligibility.
• 54:51
  Talking about Paulo, DeMar Bain, Yeah, marking in Franz, I
• 54:57
  think Bain is pretty interesting as a pivots to these guys because he's coming in
• 55:00
  in it what five to seven percent ownership, where you got Paulo at close
• 55:04
  to twenty, Damar is looking at above twenty. Michal's gonna get ownership.
• 55:08
  Yeah, yeah, sure, Bain Bain kind of fits into a contrarian type
• 55:13
  pivot if you can, you can build a pretty chalky team and then just
• 55:16
  pivot uh Damar to Baine for cheaper And I actually like that. I see
• 55:22
  cheaper, I think, I think, I think they're the same price and
• 55:25
  eight two yeah, yep, yeah, I don't I don't mind that at
• 55:30
  all. I really really like Bain here, and then that's pretty much it.
• 55:35
  On the the Grizzly side, I think that if Smart were to play,
• 55:38
  that's just gonna it would I don't know if he would be starting,
• 55:42
  but if he did, that's just sliding everybody up. I think that you
• 55:45
  go with probably Vince Williams would be out of the starting rotation. You put
• 55:50
  Marcus Smart at the point guard shooting guard, Jaw at the point guard shooting
• 55:53
  guard, and then Baine goes to the small ford. Then you got Jarones,
• 55:57
  Jackson and Bismack. So that's kind of how I would look at it.
• 56:00
  But you're not playing Smart right now. He's going to be on a
• 56:02
  pretty strict minute restriction I would assume, being gone for so long. And
• 56:07
  then yeah, on the Pelican side, this is a really good matchup for
• 56:10
  the guards. CJ Brandon Ingram in really good spots here. Grizzlies are bottom
• 56:15
  four three point defense and DVP wise, this is a really good matchup for
• 56:22
  guards. So I have a lot of interest in both of them. I'll
• 56:25
  lean with Ingram just because he has actually shown a ceiling or CJ's been He's
• 56:32
  been kind of just hovering around like thirty five to forty fantasy points. I'm
• 56:36
  not sure he has the massive fifty to fifty five plus fantasy point games with
• 56:40
  a team fully healthy, But we know that Ingram does. Ingram does because
• 56:44
  he's going to play close to forty minutes in a close game, and he's
• 56:47
  gonna be taking a ton of shots. So I like Ingram a lot.
• 56:51
  Here at Ak another guy you can you use as a pivot to that same
• 56:57
  range. But yeah, Zion he's interesting too. It's a seven point seven
• 57:02
  K but tough matchup versus Jaron Jackson Junior. He'll be He'll be on the
• 57:07
  bench with two fouls and two minutes anyway. Yeah, exactly, That's exactly
• 57:10
  what we saw happen the last time these teams played. He played twenty five
• 57:14
  minutes in that game. So yeah, I don't know. I'm never really
• 57:17
  looking to play Zion right now. He's just out of shape and missing games
• 57:22
  on back to backs as a twenty three year old. Yeah, and coming
• 57:25
  off Christmas buffet. As people like to say, Yeah, I can't do
• 57:29
  it. Yeah. The thing is, like I still think I if I
• 57:31
  had to click any of these, like I can't get to see ja,
• 57:35
  Like the matchup with Ingram that it just it feels like gets Zion's team when
• 57:38
  he does, like the usage when he gets the ball, he puts his
• 57:40
  head down. He's like, I'm not worried about Jared Jackson because I think
• 57:44
  he's literally gonna be a foul trouble so early and seven to seven so appealing.
• 57:49
  Maybe all of this though, because you lean CJ, Ingram, you
• 57:51
  don't like Zion. My lean was Zion. Maybe I just cross off all
• 57:54
  these Pelquins. There's so many other ways I can go, but I wouldn't
• 57:59
  be surprised. I would definite Max one of those three i'd rank and Zion,
• 58:04
  Ingram, CJ. But you like the other side, so maybe I
• 58:07
  can just cross it off. Any final thoughts, uh in this one,
• 58:15
  I'm trying to look at our ceiling rankings. Just yes, I mean yeah,
• 58:22
  i'd probably agree with you be Max one of of that whole team.
• 58:25
  I don't I think you can get to too, just with their price tags
• 58:28
  being pretty reasonable in the mid seven case AK, but not sure exactly how
• 58:35
  much upset they have in this type of game environment. So I probably would
• 58:37
  be Max one. I like it where I wanted to touch on this,
• 58:42
  quick man, where is it? It was about the fandol Oh, yeah,
• 58:46
  what are your thoughts on uh fandolin DK taking off the games on mainslate?
• 58:52
  My quick thoughts are, well, whatever fills whatever can have bigger prize
• 58:55
  pools and they actually feel I prefer talking personally, I want all the games
• 59:00
  on the slate, but that's because I have no wife, no kids.
• 59:02
  This is what I do. So I'm sitting around my computer and I have
• 59:06
  an edge more of an edge that way. However, I totally understand if
• 59:09
  you ask me that question in fifteen years, ten years, if I do
• 59:13
  have kids, god willing, and I plan on coach and all that,
• 59:16
  well, then I can't play DFS if I do that, because I'll be
• 59:19
  at practice and you're giving up so much relate swap. So I would change
• 59:22
  my answer completely. So selfishly, I want late. I want all that
• 59:25
  right now, because again, I have no wife, I have no responsibilities.
• 59:29
  This is what I do. However, for most people out there,
• 59:31
  and all them, I totally understand what they're saying and I wouldn't want all
• 59:35
  those late games. So any thoughts on that, rio, I think you're
• 59:37
  probably in the same boat. Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Definitely
• 59:40
  give me all the games. Yeah, and what we want no one cares
• 59:44
  about anyway. Whatever fills the most money for dcm fandeose pockets is what happened,
• 59:49
  and we're going to be playing regardless what it is. Two games left
• 59:52
  on the slate again, those games all eight pm Eastern or before two hour
• 59:55
  window ten pm Eastern then ten thirty pm Eastern. Sacramento Kings Portland Trail Blazers
• 1:00:01
  two thirty seven total. Sacramento is favored by eights. On the King side,
• 1:00:06
  Malik Monk's questionable. I want to say, I think somebody said he
• 1:00:09
  was ruled He's in twenty nine minutes ago. Thank you. So Malik Monk
• 1:00:13
  is in. Alex Len is questionable. On the Portland side, Yeah,
• 1:00:16
  big news, Big news is right. Portland side. DeAndre Ayden Shaden Sharp
• 1:00:22
  is questionable. Do you have a lean on either of those two because obviously
• 1:00:27
  most of your teams will have most of those spots probably already filled with these
• 1:00:30
  two games on an island. Any thoughts on those two and then what are
• 1:00:34
  you doing in this game? Yeah, I actually think that they both could
• 1:00:37
  miss. Definitely think Aiden is at more of risk for missing. I believe
• 1:00:42
  his injury is at what knee tendonitis thing, which is never never good for
• 1:00:49
  big men. You know that's given me greg odin flashbacks. But yeah,
• 1:00:54
  he's I think he's definitely at risk of missing. So we could be getting
• 1:00:58
  Duapperreath back into the starting lineup, and maybe there's an edge to waiting and
• 1:01:02
  seeing if he does start, because he would be much better value than a
• 1:01:07
  lot of these guys that we would be looking to play, better than you
• 1:01:09
  know, Jalen Smith and some of these other Spurs guys like so Hand that
• 1:01:14
  we're gonna land on, Like, he would be much better value play than
• 1:01:16
  all of these guys if Aiden were to miss. I'm not too sure about
• 1:01:21
  Hidden Sharp though, I think that he's probably just a true fifty to fifties.
• 1:01:24
  I don't I mean, I don't have really much input about that.
• 1:01:28
  I haven't heard much. The Aiden stuff's big though. That's important because a
• 1:01:31
  he's already the price is good, he's projecting well like he's already gonna get
• 1:01:36
  some ownership, and that would definitely throw a wrench into things with these two
• 1:01:40
  games on an Island. So I like, yeah, that's important. Yeah,
• 1:01:45
  just a. It's pretty you're gonna have to save two spots I think
• 1:01:49
  for the late game if you're looking to play into that, just because I
• 1:01:53
  mean, if if Aiden is in, then you're left with who like Daniel
• 1:01:59
  Tice a Mere Coffee, Cody Martin in the Charlotte side, like those type
• 1:02:04
  of guys in the late games. I think you gotta be you gotta be
• 1:02:07
  smart about how you play it, and maybe you can get to Kamara if
• 1:02:12
  you have a utility spot opening. You know he's gonna play minutes. But
• 1:02:15
  yeah, so I don't know. Aiden could definitely sit Shade Sharp I am
• 1:02:17
  less certain on, but matchup wise, this is a good matchup for Sabonis.
• 1:02:22
  Blazer is one of the worst interior defense in the league. With Aiden
• 1:02:25
  down there, I don't think that they're gonna get much better with du up
• 1:02:29
  Breath down there. He's got triple doubles in back to back game, so
• 1:02:34
  he's you know, shown a pretty kind of weird that he only got up
• 1:02:37
  to fifty Draggings points after getting a triple double, and he was talking to
• 1:02:43
  Assassins in the discord, and he he had sabonas in his showdown lineup,
• 1:02:47
  and he wasn't even on the winner with a triple double, which was interesting
• 1:02:51
  to see. But he did put up sixty two to two games ago against
• 1:02:53
  Phoenix with a twenty eight point triple double. So yeah, I prefer him
• 1:02:59
  to Fox in this matchup personally, but yeah, I mean not much like
• 1:03:05
  Holds the Poke in Fox's matchup. He's been one of the best, most
• 1:03:07
  consistent scores in the league, one of my favorite players too, so I
• 1:03:10
  have a little bit of soft spot for him, but I don't think that
• 1:03:14
  I'm gonna get there in this matchup. He's projecting is a really solid value
• 1:03:16
  right now, though not coming in with pretty much any ownership, which is
• 1:03:22
  kind of interesting. So it's just looking like a pretty heavy mid tier bill
• 1:03:27
  type of night if you're looking at the ownership and all these studs. It's
• 1:03:30
  because as Keith asks, who are the cheapies you like, Like, we
• 1:03:31
  haven't said anyone below four K. I don't think hardly anyone in the mid
• 1:03:37
  four K, Like when I'm mentioning Alex Caruso because of Trey defense and Pat
• 1:03:40
  Will like that's why Nemhar's going to be so high on there is not great
• 1:03:44
  value by any means right now we are waiting on a Q tag to be
• 1:03:47
  ruled out. If Vouch's out, Drummond will be ninth. Of course I'm
• 1:03:52
  exaggerating, but any of these Q takes out somehow, Wemby was out,
• 1:03:55
  Trey was out again, they went through shoot around, was out. There
• 1:04:00
  is not good value right now, and that's why Sga, Tyrese, Haliburn,
• 1:04:03
  all those guys off there are gonna come in so so low On.
• 1:04:06
  If Luca was on the slate, he'd be low Yannis, et cetera.
• 1:04:10
  So yeah, I mean this mid tier bild is definitely gonna be popular.
• 1:04:14
  Yeah, I definitely can see that. Hopefully we get some value throughout the
• 1:04:16
  slate. But yeah, on the King side, it's just Sibonis and Fox
• 1:04:21
  for me and I slightly lean some bonus. And then on the Blazer side
• 1:04:27
  Andfrety Simon's eight point one K been around that price SAG pretty much all season
• 1:04:30
  long. Since he's come back from injury, he's been as consistent as they
• 1:04:34
  come, just been lights out shooting. Yeah. Good, I guess it's
• 1:04:41
  an okay matchup for him. Probably gonna get Kevin Herder on defense, Who's
• 1:04:45
  he's okay defensively, but Simons is going to have a ton of usage.
• 1:04:47
  Again, if Sharp and Aiden were out, it was Malcolm Brogten who had
• 1:04:51
  the better game last time out, but he I think more so his his
• 1:04:58
  median outcome is going to be around like the thirty minutes range, getting close
• 1:05:00
  to twenty five to thirty draftings points, and Affy Simons is gonna be the
• 1:05:04
  one to have the better game most nights, so I have a slightlying to
• 1:05:08
  him. I don't think that Grant is the worst play slightly better matchup versus
• 1:05:13
  Keegan Murray, who's not that great of a defender. He's going to be
• 1:05:15
  out there for heavy minutes too, so I wouldn't mind him. I think
• 1:05:20
  Scoot would come back into play if should and Sharp Waur would be out.
• 1:05:24
  His minutes kind of come came down with the Sharp back in the lineup,
• 1:05:28
  but or with Brogden back. But I think that you're gonna have to fill
• 1:05:31
  in some more shooting guard small forward minutes. I think Scoo could could be
• 1:05:35
  in play a little bit at five point three K, but yeah, I
• 1:05:38
  don't I don't really see much. It's just Simon's mainly on the Portland side,
• 1:05:41
  and then Sabonis and Fox and Sacramento. Yeah, I see it a
• 1:05:44
  lot of if Ayton again, It's really tricky because six point ak Ayton was
• 1:05:48
  ruled in. I think he would be popular again. If he's ruled out,
• 1:05:53
  that's when you can get the rees who's just center eligible too. But
• 1:05:57
  you would need a two v two because you wouldn't want to be leaving four
• 1:06:00
  K through whatever three k it is on the table. I do like Anthony
• 1:06:03
  Simons a lot, because I still think he's a fine play even if Sharp
• 1:06:08
  and eighton were in through ruled out, even a bigger boost. And then
• 1:06:11
  Jeremy Grants, if you tell me they're both in. I don't want Jeremy
• 1:06:14
  Grant on this slate. They don't think he's the worst play, but there's
• 1:06:16
  a lot of other guys I would rather. But if they're both ruled out,
• 1:06:19
  or even one of them, I would be totally fine with the sub
• 1:06:23
  five percent on Jeremy Grant playing thirty nine minutes or whatever. It may be
• 1:06:28
  so huge injury news, but you have to have a plan with these two
• 1:06:30
  games on an island at the end. I love this A bonus call.
• 1:06:34
  Nine point seven k a good center position. But again he's coming in low
• 1:06:40
  own because the lack of value right now is tough. I think Fox is
• 1:06:43
  good too, for the same reason I would max one. I mean,
• 1:06:45
  especially on this slate, there just isn't enough value to get to both.
• 1:06:48
  Not saying they both can't get fifty five together. It's just you need to
• 1:06:54
  run pretty good, I think to get that. On nine game slate,
• 1:06:56
  I would they cost too much together for me to get there. So eight
• 1:07:00
  news definitely big. Have a plan if you do have them in your lineup.
• 1:07:03
  One game left on the slate, and again I shouldn't say, and
• 1:07:06
  again I saw my man aids. Aren't man aids in here saying winners?
• 1:07:10
  What's going on? Aids meant to say hi to you earlier, Hope you
• 1:07:13
  had a good Christmas. What side has a millionaire contest DraftKings twenty five hundred
• 1:07:17
  dollars one million to first one thousand entrants? And I was going to say
• 1:07:23
  one thousand people, but you know those rich people throwing in the max at
• 1:07:27
  thirty entries at twenty five hundred to pop. I would say, one day,
• 1:07:30
  but no chance I will ever get to that point. Next game on
• 1:07:33
  the slate, last game of the slate ten thirty Eastern Charlotte Hornets Los Angeles
• 1:07:38
  Clippers two twenty seven and a half total. Clippers are favored by twelve.
• 1:07:42
  On the injury report, Brandon Miller is questionable with his ankle injury. He
• 1:07:45
  got hurt last game, which was December twenty third, so he said a
• 1:07:49
  couple of days to rest, but turned his ankle. I think McGowan's would
• 1:07:55
  probably start if he is out, and that is important news on this slate,
• 1:07:59
  Mark william I'm still gonna be out. He is doubtful. On the
• 1:08:01
  other side, for the Clippers, you use again, Kawhi is questionable.
• 1:08:06
  Do you have a lien on Brandon Miller or Kawhi in this one? Because
• 1:08:11
  obviously these last two games, if Kawhi was ruled out PG only eight point
• 1:08:15
  seven K Hard and nine point one K. If Brandon Miller's out Rogier eight
• 1:08:20
  five, the bridge is eight K Hayward six seven. I don't think that's
• 1:08:24
  the craziest place. Kawhi means a little more. I don't know though,
• 1:08:29
  man. That's three really big Q tags in these last two games with eight
• 1:08:32
  and Brandon Miller and Kawhi. So any leans on that. What are you
• 1:08:35
  doing in this game? Yeah, I mean it makes sense for these guys
• 1:08:39
  to be able to return. Here, just getting a few days off A
• 1:08:43
  little bit worrisome with Brandon Miller though, this is like the third or fourth
• 1:08:46
  time he's injured his ankle, and this is a new ankle injury, this
• 1:08:48
  is not the same one, So hopefully you can get that figured out.
• 1:08:53
  And know that those ankle injuries can be very nagging for a lot of these
• 1:08:56
  players, so hopefully you can get healthy. But I mean, he's young,
• 1:09:00
  so I think he should be back, and then Kawhi probably going to
• 1:09:03
  be back to it's a hip injury, which we've surprisingly seen a lot of
• 1:09:08
  star players have hip injuries this year two which is kind of weird. But
• 1:09:14
  I think I'm expecting him to return. Had had a good amount of days
• 1:09:16
  off, so what he hasn't played since the twentieth of December, so it's
• 1:09:20
  you know, full week pretty much, so he should be back. And
• 1:09:25
  yeah, I mean, if if this both teams have a pretty pretty fully
• 1:09:29
  healthy team. I just don't really see much in this game that stands out.
• 1:09:32
  Charlotte has normally been a team that we're looking to attack for dfs because
• 1:09:38
  they usually play really fast paced, really bad defensively. They're still bad defensively
• 1:09:43
  their bottom two defense, but their pace has not been the same as years
• 1:09:46
  before, definitely much worse with no LaMelo ball in the lineup. There sixteenth
• 1:09:50
  overall in terms of pace this year, which is not great, and we
• 1:09:54
  know that the Clippers are a much slower team. They're they're on the out
• 1:10:00
  of ten and they're playing really well defensively this year too, So not a
• 1:10:02
  ton stands out. I think you could definitely make a case for Terry Rozier.
• 1:10:06
  He's very similar to Kaid in terms of his ball handling role, been
• 1:10:11
  one of the best in the league. Just assist numbers are up, his
• 1:10:14
  rebounding has been up, the time of possessions, He's had the ball in
• 1:10:16
  his hands a ton, shown good upside a lot lately too, So I
• 1:10:20
  don't think that he's the craziest play at eight point five K. But outside
• 1:10:27
  him, not really interested in anybody on the Hornets. Yeah, like you
• 1:10:30
  said, if Miller's out, I mean, hopefully we'd get that news early
• 1:10:33
  in the day. I doubt it, but that would definitely open up a
• 1:10:36
  starting spot for most likely Bryce Man Gowan's that might open up more minutes for
• 1:10:41
  Cody Martin, who would be a value. I mean, his first game
• 1:10:44
  back. I know he didn't perform well, but minutes wise, he's been
• 1:10:46
  out all year and he got up to seventeen minutes last game, So that
• 1:10:49
  tells you, you know, they definitely value this guy as a player.
• 1:10:54
  And if they're gonna be thin at that shooting guard small forward spot, I
• 1:10:59
  think that he definitely could be in play. I think he's in play even
• 1:11:00
  now throwing out the terrible fantasy game. But it's hard to overlook somebody coming
• 1:11:08
  back at three point five k getting almost twenty minutes, So I would not
• 1:11:11
  mind him at all. And on the Clipper side, yeah, like I
• 1:11:15
  said, if they're fully healthy, I think you're just a max one,
• 1:11:18
  Harden, Kawhi, Leonard, all of them are in pretty good spots.
• 1:11:21
  I think this is a really sneaky good spot for you. Vicauz Zubats two
• 1:11:26
  versus the Hornets, who are one of the worst teams and their interior defenses
• 1:11:30
  is terrible and they're a bottom. They're towards the bottom in DVP versus the
• 1:11:36
  center position two yeah, bottom three and DVP versus Center, so I think
• 1:11:41
  that he's in a sneaky good spot. Would not mind him at six point
• 1:11:44
  four K. But yeah, not a ton of interest in this game.
• 1:11:45
  Kind of okay if I only get to one guy in the spot or just
• 1:11:49
  exit out even yeah, I think more than likely I'll probably have no one
• 1:11:54
  in this game. I think Kawahi probably plays The Martin showt's interesting. I
• 1:11:58
  mean, well, he comes back to twenty third is brother Caleb gets hurt
• 1:12:00
  yesterday. Tough scene for these Martins. You don't even know. They could
• 1:12:03
  be like the Morrises. You could put, at least in my in how
• 1:12:06
  I look at them, identical twins, throw the other one out, put
• 1:12:10
  a different jersey on. You'll have no clue which ones which, but one
• 1:12:14
  goes down, one comes back. We said nobody under four K. The
• 1:12:16
  guy will be If you play him, you will probably be one of the
• 1:12:19
  only people in your tournament to play them, but you'll get on a whole
• 1:12:23
  different roster construction. I doubt I go there myself, but if Brandon Miller's
• 1:12:26
  out, you do have that upside there as well. One story show with
• 1:12:30
  though I don't really have interest in this game. That is all nine games
• 1:12:33
