• 0:05
  Speaker 1: All system's going clear.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: We lift on what's going on.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Everybody happy Thursday, talking hoops, March nineteenth, March madness. That's
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: what today is today. There's hoops, there's money to be made.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: That's what we're talking. Badgers a minute too late because
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I was finishing watching the Badgers lose to high point.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Disappointing indeed, Michael W I know you're pretty sad as well. Yeah,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I mean we got it. Duke's losing. Got ourselves good
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: start to the college day. Excited for this six game
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: NBA slate. You can see it all locks within an
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: hour seven pm Eastern, eight pm Eastern. You probably can
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: hear my dog in the background, hopefully camp but real,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: how are we doing today?
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm doing pretty good. I'm I'm pretty happy to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: see the Duke is losing right now. Hate those hate
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: those guys, but uh yeah, pretty fun. Six games late today,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: got a nice little hour between the first and the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: last game, so be nice to kind of sit there
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and watch the Orlando Charlotte game. Pretty excited about that one.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: But yeah, pretty pretty solid, straight, pretty solid slate. Looks
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: like tonight a.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Lot of Q tags I'm seeing.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Is there any of them that you're like really concerned
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: about or do you think most of them play?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of them are probably out,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Like the the Lakers didn't get into Miami last night
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: until like four am. They had the game against Houston.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: There was another really good performance by them. They have
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: all those main three guys, Luca, Reeves and Lebron are questioned,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: but I feel like some combination, if not all three
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: of them, are gonna miss. And then the Donovan Mitchell
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: downgrade with the eye contusion not great either. So yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's the only one I feel kind
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of confident in playing is probably Kawhi just because they
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: lost last night and Daris Garland is out, so I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: feel like they probably want him to play tonight because
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: it is a pretty big game or just like kind
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of a they just need to win because they are
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: They do have the Warriors and the Blazers kind of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: on their heels right now.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Great breakdown, I mean that's pretty important talking about the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Lakers stuff. That game's at five Eastern, two games at four,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: so yeah, I mean two windows right here. But definitely
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: some appeal in his first couple of games, at least
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the first game you mentioned a good real life game
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: close spread at five and a half. We have a
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: couple like usual in March big ones, thirteen and a half,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: nine and a half, ten and a half, and then
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: a couple close ones. So that's the broad slate. I
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: appreciate everyone hanging out. Jordan pair by William wins a lot,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: wins lop and an absolute fire in multiple sports.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Coach have Brandy.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: We also got golf going on a lot of sports
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: right now, even though no NFL, MLB will be back
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: real real soon.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Excited for that World Baseball Classic was a lot of fun.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: NBA is still.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Going, PGA going showdown content as well. MMA this week
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: fourteen fights in London, NASCAR, good prizes, NHL. We would
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: love to have you Survivor content loving that from our
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: guy sheets so great time of year. We'd love to
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: have you at the Nation Daily past nine dollars five
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: days for nineteen dollars. Also single sport NBA packages if
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: you would like that as well. Let's go for the
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: first game of the night you mentioned. It's Orlando Magic
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: five and a half point underdogs to the Charlotte Hornets
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: two twenty seven and a half total in this one
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: no injuries on the Charlotte side as far as Orlando.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Wendell Carter is out, so that is the new news there.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Take it away again a couple big spreads, this is
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: not one of them. Sorting my ownership though not too
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: much going to the Orlando side besides obviously the big
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: men with no Wendell Carter, I.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Think that this is a game that is pretty big
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: for the standings in the East. The Hornets are I believe,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: three games back on the Magic right now, so they
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: definitely could catch up to them, and to win here
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: would go a long way for that. So I kind
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of expect playoff like rotations. Not too sure exactly what
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the Magic will do with the front court stuff with
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Winnoccarter Junior out, because obviously one of Goga and Mo
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: will start. It's probably gonna be Goga because we've seen
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that recently. But for a team like the Hornets, who
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: are so good at rebounding and have two pretty solid
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: big men with the Abatan and Kochbrenner, I feel like
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: there's a chance that we get full forty eight minutes
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: out of Goga and Mo, but there's also a small
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: chance that they go with more small ball, which would
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: help help Pollo just help about his rebounding racks. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: would expect him to be the small ball five in
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that instance. But I think it's gonna be pretty exciting
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: games to kick things off. So I'm definitely looking forward
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to watch watching this one and looking forward to probably
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: having a couple of rosters do stack up this game
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: with like two to three players. But over the last
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, the Magic are fifth and d rating
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Charlotte's thirteenth. The Magic have they were on a nice
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: little win streak and then kind of lost the last
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: two games against some better opponents. They had a pretty
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: soft schedule, but yeah, the Magic I've actually been given
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: up a lot more three point volume as of late,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: which isn't great for this matchup, in particular because the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Hornets are top two and three point frequency over the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: last two weeks and first in threes made per game
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: this season. Magic are also a below average pick and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: roll defense. I think it sets up pretty well for
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the Charlotte guys. Mainly, LaMelo had a huge game last
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: time out. Minute should be pretty full. I think he's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a pretty decent spent up option in this matchup. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: don't really never too worried about the Sugs matchup as much,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: so I think that he's a really good defender. They
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: just don't really send enough help his way. So teams
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: like we see it against guys like Asar Thompson and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Amen Thompson are really good defenders, teams could still have
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: guys that put it pretty big games against them because
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: they just don't get a lot of help. So I'm
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: pretty fine with LaMelo here. The rest of the Hornets
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: are just good and not great in my opinion, Like
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Brandon Miller is getting up there in price and pretty
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: cold right now. I think Con is an interesting option
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in seven point two K, where they'll definitely need some
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: more of his shooting and if the Magic are going
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to continue to give up more threes than He's a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: guy that I have interest in, But he's also pretty expensive,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: so you need like fifty plus from him at this
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: price tag and not too confident in him doing that
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: more often than not. So probably a around the field
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to blow underweight position on both Miller and Con. But
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I think Miles Bridges is pretty good here at six
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: point two K because they're going to need a lot
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of minutes out of him for the polo matchup. He's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: done a really good job against Paulo in the past
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: as well, so I think that they really trust him here.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And he hasn't done great in this matchup in particular
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: from a fantasy output, but he did have forty eight
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: DK points against him earlier this season, so I think
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: there's definitely upside for him, and he's been playing a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: little bit better as of late. And then I do
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: think Kobe White at four point seven is a good price.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Like he's had really really good usage rates off the bench,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: so I think he's a pretty solid option. And then
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: he asked for the magically unbe waiting to see what
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: they do with the starting lineup, but I think Goga
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and Mo are both pretty solid options, and if we
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: do run into a spot where they are splitting the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: full forty eight between the two of them, then I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be too opposed to playing both of them in
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the same lineup. If you like what the rest of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the lineup looks like, if you like your spin ups
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: at power forward and at the guard spot, then I
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: think that does make a little bit of sense. But
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I think Paulo is a pretty okay option here at
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: nine point four K should see more of a rebounding
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: increase here, so he does have that triple double upside.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: But I do think mos Bridges is a pretty good
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: defender and matches up pretty well against him. So I'm
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: not in love with the spot for Paulo, but I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: think Suggs and Bain should be in play here, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Sugs in particular, I think is pretty good at seven K.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: So I mean, yeah, it definitely seems like you're wanting
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: to be overweight to this game at ownership too much
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: is getting it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: In this game.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Let's say Goga starts Mo's off the bench kind of
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: like expected, Like I'm not I don't believe this thirty
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: thirty three twenty six split. I think Goga would be
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: like whoever the starter is almost always gets a lot
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: more ownership and the price is right there next to
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: each other. Do you think it'd be like a sixty
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: twenty or something like that. And then if that is
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: the case, does that make you lean the I mean,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: you're gonna obviously play a lot of Goga like the NBA,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: you eat a lot of chalk, But it's a lot
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: easier to get overweight to the field on MO than
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: it is Goga and you're fine with both in the
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: same team, So do you see ownership that way?
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: And if so, would you lean more MO to the field?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Now, I'd probably still lean Goga because I feel like
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: there's a better chance that there's like a more more
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: likelihood of MO playing sixteens eighteen minutes versus like twenty four.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I just think that there's a chance that they could
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: split the full forty eight. But we know that Goga
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: is probably playing twenty plus here.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think he will be over thirty three though,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and then MO will be less than twenty six, Like
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: it'll be a lot more of a split.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean singing lunch or stuff. It's probably like
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: fifty plus percent for Goga and maybe like fifteen for Mo.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what's like too many in this game? I guess
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: if you said on Orlando you're fine with Sugs, you're
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: fine with Paulo, and you're fine with the cheap Goga Mo,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: that'd be three miles bridge is Kobe White that's five?
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I mean that feels like a lot with the q taggs,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: but you're fine?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Is that?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Would that be good?
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I think three to four is probably where i'd want
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: to be probably like one to two Charlotte pieces, and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I think it like, if you really want to get
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the upside, then it's gonna be like LaMelo plus Goga
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and then one other Orlando piece, like probably not Sugs
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in that instance, probably be like Paulo or Da Silver
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: or something like that.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: All Right, Yeah, that's all I got for the first game.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the second game. I mean, first says
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: he's heavy and Detroit. This is talking to Detroit Pistons,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: big favorites. They're thirteen and a half over the Wizards,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: two thirty one and a half total in this one.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: On the Wizard side, No Trey, no no Leaky Black.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: On the Detroit side, no Kaid. That is why some
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: of the value is popping on the Detroit side still
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: implied for one hundred and twenty two points, some of
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: the most on the slate, Jenkins, LeVert, Duran all gonna
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: get some ownership prices are good. Obviously, Kay leaves a
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: big role on the Washington side. I mean at least
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: no Kola Balle and when he's been on the court,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: he takes up a good amount of usage. It's still
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: the Wizards at the end of the day, though I
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: think Champenny might get a little bit of ownership, but
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I think he feels he looks to be the biggest
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: beneficiary without Kuliballe.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: How do you see Pistons in the Wizards? With the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Pistons big favorites.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Starting the Wizard's side, because I think it's easier to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: talk through. But I'm only really considering two guys tonight
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: on that side of things, and that's gonna be bub
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Carrington and Justin Champenny with Alex Saraback. That really takes
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: off all the upside, the playing time upside for guys
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: like gil And and Tristan Vuksovic and Julian the Reeve
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: is probably not even playing tonight. And then the rest
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: of the guys I just don't think have enough side
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: even at their price tag. So Bob, a guy that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: did find himself on the Ultimore lineup last week, is
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: in play at four point nine K and a pretty
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: decent pivot off of some of There's a lot of
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: really good point guard shooting guard options at that same
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: price rang, so I think that he's an interesting pivot there.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: And then Champagne, less confident in his minutes, I think
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that the the range of outcomes for him is pretty wide,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: but he does match up pretty well here. I liked
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: him a lot in that last game and he did
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: really well there with getting the starts. I think that
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: he's solid, but really just a probably max one. Washington
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and just those two guys are really in play for me.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: But yeah, for Detroit with Kate out, the guys that
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Jalen Duran, Dannis Jenkins, Lavert are gonna be
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the guys that are the biggest beneficial beneficiaries. I think
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that Jenkins is the number one option obviously because he
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: will probably beginning the start, and I would say is
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: one of the best value players in the slate in
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: a good matchup. He's averaged thirty four DK points a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: game without kid this season, but there are a few
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: games in there where he would have hurt you for
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: him for playing him at this price Seg in particular,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: so I think that there is He's not like a
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: must have by any means at five k now, but
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: pretty good starting spot for seeing lntry contest. I don't
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: really know if there's enough leverage in playing like Sasser
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: or even Karasliff over him. I think that it's probably
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: just fading him for some of the other guard options,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: but I do think that Duran and Asar Thompson are
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: two pretty interesting options For Duran. He sees a very
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: meaningful usage increase with Kate off the court the season,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and he's right around one point six fantasy points for
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: minutes fantasy points for minute. So with the matchup, the price,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and the role all in consideration, I think that he's
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: one of the best spind ups on the entire slate.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I think that there's a better chance that the Wizards
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: can keep this game closer tonight with Kate out, but
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: either way, we're probably getting twenty eight to thirty minutes
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: from Duran. I think that's plenty for him to reach
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: value in a really good matchup. So I'm pretty interested
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: in him. And then for a SAR, I think that
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the minutes there was like I don't think there was
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: ever like a true minutes limitation for him. He was
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: just returning from the ankle injury. But we've seen at
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: times this season where more of the offense will flow
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: through him with Kate off the court, and I think
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that this would be a pretty good spot for him
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: just to kind of rack up all the peripheral stats
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and has also have a chance to get some steals
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and blocks against say, pretty the team with not a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: ton of experience and not really a lot of talent
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: on it right now. So I think that he's a
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: pretty interesting spind up or midteriy option six point two K.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: But during Asar Jenkins are all guys I'm playing a
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: good amount of tonight. Don't really like Tobias. I don't
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: really think I want to get to sass Or either.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I honestly don't want to play Lavert, especially at ownership,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: because I just don't think he's very good and I
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: think there are ways to get away from him. So yeah,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: that's it's going to be a lot of during Asar
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and Jenkins for me. Yeah, I know.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: The thing is Detroit's definitely gonna get a good get
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: a good amount of ownership. And for the Lakers with
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: these Q takes, do you think at least a couple
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: of them miss like they're gonna have value open that's
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: not really in projections right now, and a lot of
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: people will go to some of this Detroit. Like you
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: mentioned Carris Lavert, you don't need to play him at
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: three to nine obviously, Jenkins is there for value at
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: five K. We talked about mid tier options, but I
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: mean this Lakers spot. If multiple miss, we're gonna see
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: some value there. I mean, Washington's definitely tough to get to.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: I like your max one rule there. Would you be
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: fine playing Duran, Jenkins and Thompson? Is that too much
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: in this thirteen and a half? I mean, if you
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: think they can keep it close when they get full rotation,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: I think they can get there, all three of them.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fine.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: All right? Do you think Duran or Mobile? If having
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: to choose, probably Mobile? Okay, right in the same price
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: price range.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: All right, let's keep it rolling to next game on
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: the slates, good real life game. The Phoenix Suns and
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: the San Antonio Spurs nine a half point favorites are
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: the Spurs two twenty seven and a half total in
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: this one. On the Phoenix side, Royce O'Neill out, Hayward Heigh,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: Smith and Grayson Allen questionable. The Spurs remain fully healthy.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, man, these sons continue to fight. They can
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: choke the end of games. But shout out to Matt
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: When we were on the show on Monday, he would
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: talk about Devin Booker at low ownership, had a forty
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: piece good game there. This game, as you saw, by
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: ownership not getting much at all. Wemby center play contrarian
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: spend because people are gonna go go go, or they're
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: gonna go Duran Bam. There's enough good plays at center
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: that are cheaper that he's gonna be pretty low owned.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can always have interests, at least I
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: always have interest in Wemby anytime he's looking at this
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: type of ownership. D book Jalen Green, Dan Jalen Green's
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: price tag he's chucking, no doubt about that. But that
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: price tag is definitely crept up since he's came back.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not seeing any value in this one with these
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: teams pretty healthy, so what do you see?
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Definitely think that some value could open up on the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Sun's side if those questionable texts do miss, probably getting
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: into like the Jordan goodwins, I would think. I mean
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: there's a chance that Heywo high Smith is the value
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: play for the Suns right now, because if Grace Allen misses,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: there's a chance that he could start and he's only
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: three point one k, so kind of like how bad
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: could it be. I'd much rather play him over Kros
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the vert if he is starting. But I do think
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: that this game environment as a whole shit.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: If they're both out, I'm saying, Heywood high Smith Q
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: is that is that right?
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Yep, that's that's right.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: If they're both out, then are you interested in I mean,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I know Fleming's getting some mena seated nothing Ryan Dunn,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: it would just be good win.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Even more with ball handling, I.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Think you could probably get it to a little bit
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: of Ryan done, but yeah, it would be it'd be
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: a good win for sure. But yeah, I do think
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: that the game environment as a whole is pretty decent here.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I think that Phoenix can hang around with I mean,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: they've been playing some really good teams as of late
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and been playing much better, and the Spurs haven't necessarily
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: necessarily been unstoppable. On defense. They're eleventh over the last
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: two weeks, which is obviously good, but they're like one
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: of the top four defenses in the league on the season.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: They are number one in offensive raiding, the Suns are
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: seventeenth and d rating eleventh and offensive rating over the
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: last two weeks. So definitely think that they can hang
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: around here. As the stands right now, it's really just
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Booker and Green that I'm considering. Booker is gonna see
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of Stefan Castle, which I think is a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: tough matchup for him, but not one that he can't beat.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: He did go for fifty two and forty seven DK
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: points in the first two meetings versus San Antonio, then
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: picked up an injury the last time that these teams
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: faced off, which led to Jalen Green stepping up in
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: a big way with twenty six points thirty nine DK points,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and both these guys have flash tournament winning upside at
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: these price tags, I'm cool with both of them. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: think that Green's probably easier to get to with the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: shooting guard, small Ford eligibility and similar upside, But yeah,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I think that both these guys are totally fine here.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: If Allen does miss, then you can consider Coln Gillespie,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: But I just don't really know if there's enough of
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: a role for him on the offense right now with
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Booker and Jalend Green taking on so much usage. And
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: then I like Jordan Goodwin. If Grayson Allen or you
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: probably need Grayson Allen out to get to Jordan Goodwin,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: and then if Allen is out, high Smith is in.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I think that he is in play
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: on the Sun side. I think that Wemby definitely goes overlooked,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: like you said, just because the price tag is way
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: up there and there's some really good center options, So
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I think that the ownership as low as it is has
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: to make him an interesting option. But I don't necessarily
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: think that he's great by any means. A lower point
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: two K pretty big price tag, but I think that
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the quotes from him,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: but he said that he wants to win MVP and
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: DPOY this year. MVP feels like a stretch with how
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: well that Luca and Shaye are playing right now, but
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: still are getting a highly motivated Winbys and a matchup
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: that should be good for him with the Suns giving
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: up more stuff around the RAM game should be close enough.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: I think that he is for sure in play as
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a spend up option, but we really need like sixty
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: five to seventy from him. I think Castle is pretty
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: good though at seven point seven K. He's been really
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: good in this matchup, and they're gonna need more minutes
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: from him for the Devin Booker defensive assignment. The Suns
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: have generally been pretty good at limiting big games from
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: opposing guards, but Castle has done really really well. Gets
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: some I have I do have interesting Castle here, but yeah,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I think the Sun side is probably easier to get
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to with the questional tags and it's really just when
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: being Castle for me on the Spur side.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean totally agree, Like you have to make
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: it a point to play Wemby, like your optimizers and stuff.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna pop much, but he always has sixty
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: five to seventy point upside.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Definitely a stretch.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: MVP wise, at least looking at the odds, Shay pretty
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: much has that lock. It seems Wemby is Defensive Player
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: of the Year con still the favorite minus two fifteen
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: for the Rookie of the Year.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: That's a close one.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it just feels like, I mean, this slate
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: more than most six games slates. I feel like most
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: of them like there's one game and you can get
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: like five pieces in it and feel good about it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: This feels like a slate that's not not so much
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: like that you're picking a couple here, a couple there.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: You have mentioned in the past, like two players on
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: the same team have correlated pretty well on winning lineups.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: But it doesn't seem like a slate to just go
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: overboard on, at least for these first three games that
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: we've talked about. Another eight pm Easter game and decent
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: sized favorites the Cleveland Cavaliers taking on the Chicago Bulls.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Ten and a half point favorites are the Calves two
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: thirty eight and a half total in this one big
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: total on the Chicago side. No Okoro, and then Jalen
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Smith is questionable for the Calves, No Jared Allen, no
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Craig Porter. Donovan Mitchell is questionable. Another game not really
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: showing to get too much ownership. Obviously that would change
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: if Donovan Mitchell was out, and then Jalen Smith. I
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: think that's I mean, he's a good point a primintic
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: guy when he's on the court, so maybe that is
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: a little interesting if he is out as well. Nick
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Richards possibly forty one hundred. I mean, center's really good
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: though on this lad, So what are your thoughts there,
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: even if he's out, How good of a play is he?
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Honestly, like this probably not that great.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: We've seen times before when Jalen Smith misses, they're not
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: necessarily given him the full workload. They're splitting between him
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and Yabu. I do think that there's a good chance
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Jalen Smith miss misses this one because they did call
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: up Olbrick from the G League. They sent down Yuki
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Kawa Mora. So there's a really good chance that the
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Bulls run thing is really tight, like we've seen from
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: them over the last week or two. So I do
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: think that they have enough to keep the game close,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: especially if Donovan Mitchell were to miss. So very interested
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: in this game environment as a whole. Obviously, the Cleveland
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: side looks really good. If if Mitchell is out, he
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: got the mid day down grades, so we're going to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: be on let him know, watch, got to have your
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Twitter notifications on and follow Donovan Mitch'll usually get that
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: probably two hours before tip off, so he hasn't tweeted
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: by then and he's probably missing the game. But yeah,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Mobley already going to be in a really good spot.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: But if Mitchell is out, I just don't see how
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you don't play him in seeing leuntry stuff like you'd
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: be kind of like almost unavoidable for me. At eight
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: point seven K, just because the usage is going to
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: see a really big uptick. The matchup is great, He'll
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: have some really weak defenders on their side with Yabu
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and Richard's down there. I think that Jalen Smith is
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: actually pretty decent as a defender, but without him, they're
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: just gonna be undersized and under talented. So I think
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that Mobley is really good, and then James Harden would
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: have to be a much better option if Mitchell miss,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a good chance to get
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Max Shruce in the starting lap. Don't necessarily think that
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: he'd be in play, because I would imagine the minutes
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: limit is going to be in like the mid twenties
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future. But some of the usage has
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to trickle down a little bit to guys like Merrill
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to Schroeder to Dean Wade. Don't necessary I think that
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: these guys are great plays by any means. I'm really
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: just focusing in on hard And and Mobley. If Mitchell is out, Yeah,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and I guess Dean Wade is an option at three
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: point five K, like he's pretty comparable to Karros Lavert.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I would say a little bit cheaper small Ford eligibility,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: but I obviously never never really like playing him.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: D Mitch is in can you get to him? And
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: then like, what is that makes hard and tough? What
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: about Mobiley?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Sometithing? Mobiley is good regardless, I think I just really
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: like the matchup for him starting to flash a little
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: bit upside too alongside of hard and and Donovan Mitchells.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I think that he's pretty good regardless both side. I
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: guess it's just Giddy and Matas for me, Giddy will
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: see a lot of Dean Wade tonight, so if there
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: was a chance to be to fade him, I think
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: that this would be the one. Kind of similar to
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: last night, it was a pretty tough matchup against the Raptors.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Dean Wade is a pretty good defender. I think that
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: he actually matches it pretty well with Giddy sides wise,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: and ten K is no longer a value price tag
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: for him. When he was in like the nine k's,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: it was much more reasonable to get to him because
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: even like a good game from him, I would say,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: it's like fifty one would not be enough at this
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: price tag. I don't think but a couple of those
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: sixty point games would definitely be good at this price tag,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: but I just kind of think I would rather take
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: an underweight position on Giddy and maybe over on some
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: of the secondary guys like Matzas should be in a
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: better spot because he'll avoid Dean Wade playing really well
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: right now. I mean, even like guys like Trey Jones,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Collin Sex, and Leonard Miller are somewhat interesting because I
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: think that if the game does stay close and Giddy
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: is getting locked down, they're gonna need more from these
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: secondary options. I just don't know if there's necessarily enough
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: upside in these guys. I feel like the Cleveland side
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: just gets a little bit better if these guys are
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: doing well because you're getting full minutes and the game
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: is high scoring and closed. So I don't really see
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: myself needing a ton of Chicago guys, but keeping all
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: of them him the playerpool for sure, all.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I mean, as you can see, just keep
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: it on the playerpool. If you do play some chalk
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: on this slate, like this is a way.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: To get different. For sure.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: We're showing three percent as the highest owned Bulls guy,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: and it definitely makes sense if you are playing a
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: James Harden or Donovan Mitchell assuming he does play something
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: like that to correlate it with a giddy or matas
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: if they do keep it closer. Obviously, big favorites are
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: the Caves at ten and a half. Mobley's definitely gonna
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: get ownership even if Mitchell's in. If he's out, yeah,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: probably one of the highest on the slate. But like
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: you said, I mean you'd still play him. Eating chalk
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: and basketball is definitely something that you have to do.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Dean Wade man, so you like, you'd like Dean Wade
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: for a couple hundred less and less ownership than actually no,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he'd be less owned if Dean
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Mitch was out then Carriss.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: But how would you rank those two?
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Uh, I would probably rather play Wade.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I guess you're probably not going to get too much,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: so I take it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I mean I would prefer to not play either of
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: them if I had my choice.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why I like go You don't need
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: to go go Mo. And then again some Lakers stuff.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: We're gonna get to this last game, but I mean
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: in two more games. But assuming Luca or some of
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: these Q tags are out, the Lakers will have some
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: cheap value.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Detroit already has some as well.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: All right, two games left on the slates and definitely
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: get a little ownership in this one the Pelicans and
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: the Clippers too, and that point favorites of the Pelicans
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: two thirty and a half total in this one. Clipper side,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: no Garland, no Mathron, and Kawhi is questionable. On the
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Pelican side, Dejonte is out. The ownership is going mainly
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: to some of these cheaper Clippers. I mean, I guess
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: they have Repelicans have some value too, but I guess they.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Have a.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Collins Jones herb. Yeah, not as much as I was expecting.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Chris Dunn is going to be one of the more
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: popular value plays on the slate. But after that you
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: expect Kawhi to play. No Garland, no Mathern. That is
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: a huge bump to him. Pelicans side, no Dejonte, open
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: up some stuff. I like Bay always at this price tag,
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: curiously your take on like MESSI versus other centers on
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: this late and then yeah it's Trey Murphy's price tag
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: zion at this those aren't contray and spends that I'm
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: going to I'd rather go giddy like we just talked about.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: It was gonna be really low owned anyway.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Clippers side, I think is definitely a spot
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: to look to for value, especially if Kawhi were a miss.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: But I do think that he plays, and even more
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: so now that they lost the game last night. They
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: just really need to rattle off some wins as they
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: as a season winds down because they do have a
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: couple of teams right behind them. But it's still tough
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: to play Kawai at this price seg because the minutes
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: are being managed so much. It's not really like he
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: has a true minutes limitation, but they'll just kind of
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: pull him out at times, like he has a very
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: odd rotation. I don't think he even closes the first
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: half most times. But I mean if you take him out,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: like even taking away Ben Matherin in Garland makes the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: value plays much better because they don't they will have
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: basically no secondary ball handling in the second unit or
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I guess primary ball handling in the second unit. So
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: that's kind of why I think Jordan Miller is a
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: very very solid value played for P a K because
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: he is a guy that can take on usage and
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: can create plays by himself, Christill.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: That ownership like, I mean, Done's gonna be popular, Miller
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: seems under owned, or like John Collins like, it feels
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: like people would play more of these guys, especially depending
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: on Lakers stuff.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: But six percent Jordan.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Miller, No, he'll be higher than that for sure.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, John, Like, it seems like all right, keep going
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: because I mean, yeah, they look like strong plays for sure.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: That's two big guys off the court, even if Kawhi plays.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Like you're expecting.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Miller is my favorite of the bunch, though.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I just think that he's got enough of a offensive
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: game that they'll need his type of creations. I think
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: that he's good Done to a lesser extent, can do stuff,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: but more of like a defensive minded guy. And then
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Derek Jones Junior, same thing, kind of like a three
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and D guy. These guys are all solid plays. I
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: would say that Dunn and Jones and Collins are all
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: solid plays, but not great by any means. Collins, probably
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: still on a minute's restriction, hasn't played more than twenty
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: six in the game in his last three games, so
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect that to happen here. I guess like
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: brook Lopez and Isaiah Jackson are should be in the playerpool.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Don't ever really love playing brook Lopez, but if there
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: was a spot for him, it would be against the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Pelicans because they do give up a lot of three pointers.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I think Isaiah Jackson is kind of interesting though, definitely
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: a guy I want to get to an MM because
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: his minutes are going to be lined up with Derrek
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Queen and like Carlomankovich in the second unit, and Derrek
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Queen is a awful defender and just gives no effort on
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: defense and Isaiah Jackson really high motor, high energy guy.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I could see a very efficient game for him in
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: like eighteen to twenty minutes. Gonna be tougher to get
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: there with Moe Wagner and Gogobaitase projecting better and possibly
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: even the Bulls guys, but I do think that he's
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: a guy want to keep in the playpool for sure.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Pelican side, we saw a missy start last game for
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Desjohntay Murray when he missed got there with stocks and
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: he had five blocks in that game, very low shot volume.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: But I still think that he's a decent play because
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: he can get there just off of rebounding efficiency. I
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: think Carlo Makovich is kind of an interesting pivot off
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: of him because he's a I would say a better
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know necessarily better per minute, but definitely has
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: more of an offensive game. And he even put up
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: a double double off the bench last time that Desjontey missed.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: As as far as it goes between like the Murphy,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Zion and Bay stuff, I do have Murphy as my
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: number one, then Bay two and Zion three. Zion's just
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: you're just not getting big games from anymore. And I
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily think that a matchup against the Clippers is
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: one where he would do it. They do have pretty
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: decent room protectors down low. Murphy didn't really see much
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: of a usage rate increase the last time that uh
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: dejonte missed, but did kind of flirt with the triple double.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Had seven rebounds, seven assists in that game. But Bay
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: is he'll definitely move up in the pecking order for
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: offensive workload, and he was trending for like forty minutes
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the last time that Desjontey missed. He checked out like
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the I think it's like the four or six minute
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: mark somewhere around there. And still hit thirty five minutes,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: so his man's gonna be way up there. And he's
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: definitely a guy that I could see myself getting to
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: agree with you. I think that's a good price sage
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: for him, not into herb Jones. And then I don't
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: think that Fears is great at his ownership, and you
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: see what what a saber half him at fourteene. Okay,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's still that's probably a little too
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: low as well. I think people are going to be
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: excited to play Jeremiah fear Is just because they saw
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: what he did last game. But I don't necessarily think
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: that this is a smash play like he's a smash
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: play by any means, because his role didn't change as much.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: He did see more minutes obviously got to twenty five
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: in that game, but still sharing usage with guys like
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Jordan Poole in the second unit with Zion and Murphy Uh.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: He was really good in that game, but it was
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: also against uh Dallas, so take it with a grin
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: of salt. But I think that Jordan Miller is comparable
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: for the price tag and positional eligibility. I think that
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: he's a much better play, especially if he comes in
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: lower owned.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Gets from the same ownership, because I'm not convinced that
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I think they might both be under projected or under
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: projected in terms of ownership like these Clippers guys. Like
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: I said, I think my initial instincts more right that
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: these value guys are going to get more ownership than
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: than projected right now. But you still like Miller straight
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: up over fears.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, I think that's the thing, that's all
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Kawhi probably, Yeah, I think I think I'm a little
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: worried about him, though he was grimacing last game with
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: the injury, so I'm you know, I'm a little worried
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: about his minutes right now because they obviously need him
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So just I don't know if they're
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: gonna if they're going to continue to manage him as
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: strictly as they did last.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Night, sounds good.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: So yeah, tying this like Lakers stuff in if two
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: of Lebron Reeves and Luca miss then like his the
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: ruies the smarts, I guess that's my question this game.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: I'll mention the spread in the total two forty and
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: a half Monster total five in that point favorites are
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: the Heat so good game in that aspect.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Timy Hotk has out for.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: The heat and like I said, Reeves, Luca Lebron all questionable.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: You said you wouldn't be surprised if two of them miss.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Do these guys then just overtake? I mean DeAndre eighton
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: would be another strong center play. I still think he
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: might be in play a fifty one hundred even if
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: all three of them are in. But yeah, like that
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: just shows how loaded center is on this slates. And
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: then and I like your Isaiah Jackson call. Actually one,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: let me go back to that quick because I was
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: gonna ask, would you play him like in just goga
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: lineups or could you tell yourself a story like he's
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: outscoring goga and you're playing Jackson and Wemby or Jackson
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: in eight or Jackson in BAM or whatever Duran or
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: whatever it is.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that he's probably better as a pivot, okay.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Than two punts.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, back to this game though, So, like,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: how would the value on the Lakers assuming two of
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: these guys miss. Obviously Luca misses is the biggest, but
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: compared to the other value that we're talking.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Uh, probably be the best I would say, I feel
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: like it's it seems like Luca is probably the most
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: likely to play just because of the award stuff. I
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily think that he's I feel like Shay's probably
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: got the MVP locked up, but there's an outside chance
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: that Luca could still win it, but he seems like
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: the most likely to play here. I would think that
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: the spread is much larger if all three of them
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: were to miss than just five and a half. So
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I feel like somebody is playing, I just I only
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: know who, so it makes it really tough to talk through.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: But I think we can probably all guess that Lebron's
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: gonna miss just because he's older, played a good amount
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: of minutes, and they did have to travel pretty late
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: last night. So I feel like he's a guy that
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: is very likely to miss. It just depends on whose
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: starts for him. I guess it would probably. I mean
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Ruy is the clear cut answer. I feel like so
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: him at three point ak got to be one of
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the better value plays that at forward. For sure, I
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: would want Reeves to miss because now I could get
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: into like the market smarts, and maybe even Luke Nard,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: who I think is in a pretty good spot. Regardless,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and then la Ravia is a guy that I feel
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: like could take on more usage is always a guy
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I really like to play for value when he gets
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: more minutes, but I don't really have much to say
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: about the Lakers, so because if he don't really know
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: who's in or who's out, so I would probably just wait.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: But the good thing is it's easy too, because there's
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: only two games at seven eastern. The rest are at
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: eight eastern, so as long as you're not going like two.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: That's why you mentioned Carris Laver. He's even a worse
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: play probably than Dean Wade because you're locking up the
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: early stuff assuming you don't get the news prior if
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: you get all the news before the slate locks and
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: ownerships efficient, and then maybe Carris is better that way,
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: just because you're not expecting too many changes late.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: But I mean, yeah, you're gonna have more than likely have.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: A lot of roster spots to be able to mess
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: around with stuff like this, and then that would make
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Jordan Miller fears all those guys less popular. Whereas if
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: all three of these guys play, but even two of
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: the three, some value would open on the Lakers.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: But wouldn't be nearly as strong.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Like you said, if there's no Reeves in Loot and
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: no reeves in Lebron, could you play four Lakers? Obviously,
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Luca would then just be a smash like in almost
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: every single team, he'd be one of the most popular.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: But then after that, would you be fine playing like
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: three of the value eight and and then Smart Canard,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Smart Ruie something like that.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Would definite to see what the projections like pluck on them.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I think four might feel like a lot, but if
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: they I mean, these guys are all cheap enough, they
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: definitely could get there. So yeah, I think four is
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: probably in play, Like yeah, like you said, Luca and
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: then two or like yeah, three of I guess eight
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: and Smart Ruined Canard. I feel like you probably want
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: like Ruining Canard and Aighton just because they're the cheapest.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I could definitely see that happening. Just feels
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: like a lot. But until we see the projections change,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: then I don't really have a clear cut answer.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just because lucas so expensive, and then there's I mean,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: if you're not playing eight and you're probably not going
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: during but like there's there's so much there'd be enough
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: value on this lad and you can jam two spends.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: It probably wouldn't be at the end of the day Wenby,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: but like a Giddy a Kawhi Apollo, if there's no
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: D match like Harden and MOBILEI look better, so like
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Hard and Mobili Luca and then you go Stars and
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Scrubs more so than mid tier something like that.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. As for the heat side, no Wiggins and no
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: who else is out tonight for them Hawkaz Yeah, so
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: that will condense the second unit usage a little bit more.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I think that it's a pretty good thing for Norman
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Powell in particular because he does overlap a good bit
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: with Homy Hawks, and Hawkins is a guy that does
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: kind of demand a good amount of usage, and the
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: price sag very good for norm fully back as well.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: The minutes even strong since returning from injury, so you
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: should expect like thirty one to thirty three from him
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: in a pretty good matchup. Lakers generally been playing good defense,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: but they don't really have great lockdown defenders per se,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: just kind of getting more getting there on effort. But
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I think Norman Norman Palace is a pretty good option
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: here at six point seven K one of the better
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: plays in the mid tier, and then BAM, now with
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: power forward eligibility, is much easier to get to. It
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: was just tough to play him at these elevated price
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: tags with only center eligibility when you had much better
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: value plays. He looks like a decent pivot off of
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Evan Mogley. Choosing just one with power forward center eligibility
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: would be mobiley, But I think Bam is a pretty
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: solid option here, and the fact that he returned after
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: only missing one game tells me that he probably wasn't
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: too badly injured, so I think that he's probably back
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: to full full minutes tonight. I don't really think I'm
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: gonna get too much hero here at eight point two K.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Just tougher for him in the first unit alongside Norman
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Powell to really dominate usage, and now that Bam is back,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: kind of double down on that point. Probably it though
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: you haven't really been getting enough from these secondary guys
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: like Pelly Larson has hit before in the past, but
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that you need to go there.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I think Jackashonas is an interesting point guard option at
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: three point five K because I think that he will
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: take on some of that secondary ball handling with Hawk
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: is out, but really just focusing on like Norman Powell
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: have to see what they do with the starting lineup.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I think that there's a good chance that Where is
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: back in the second unit, But there's also a chance
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: they could go back with one of Norm or Hero
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: back in the second unit, just to kind of sagger
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: them away with Hawk Azel because you are losing a
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: good amount of playmaking in that second unit.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Would that make you like Norm or Bam even more
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: if Norm went, Like like if Hero went to the
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: second unit, Norman Bam get more usage. If Norm goes,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: I guess that's a bigger question because it still feels
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: like it's tough to get to Hero.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: What eighty two hundred?
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it would just make those make the
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Powell and Bam much better. It's really just a pricing
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: thing for a Hero because if he was the same
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: price as Norm, then I'd have interest in him.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, Bam looks really strong.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: I think, I mean, no one on the Lakers like
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: he's the offensive feeds through him.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: We've seen his upside.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Big boy total close spread makes a lot of sense
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: in this late and that power forward elgibility helps a ton.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Would it be mobilely Bam.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Duran for you if you had a rank those three
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: frontcore guys right in the same eight point nine to
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: eighty seven range or yeah, ninety seven.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: I would say mobile during Bam Okay, I think ownership
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: is going to be that way too.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't really have too much more to add. Again,
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I think right now the story is obviously the news
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: late the Lakers stuff. If two of the three are out,
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: projections definitely will change. The value becomes a lot stronger.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: But it feels like it's slate where you're not like
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: overstacking a game. If you do, it's the Lakers because
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: two people are out or something like that. But it
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: feels like you're getting a couple of pieces from a
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: multiple different games.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: And yeah, me, I hope you have the right combo there.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: We talked about it.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Wizard stuff doesn't look too great. This first game sounded
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: like more so Max three. Both sides pretty tough to
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: get to Phoenix. We're waiting on some injury news there.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: But injury news at a PM Eastern Kawhi if he
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: was ruled out changes the slate. I wouldn't go too
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: overboard on these first two games, I think is the
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: main takeaway leaving the slate. What are your thoughts before
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: we wrap it up?
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that, and I guess kind
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: of talking a little bit more about the Lakers stuff.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: The wins over Houston really put them in a good
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: position to kind of give their guys some rest moving forward,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: because they do have I believe they have like four
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: winnable games against tanking teams in their last thirteen I
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: don't know how many games they have left, like thirteen
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: or fifteen, so they can kind of afford to give
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: guys nights off on a game like this against Miami
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Eastern Conference team. They'll be playing the Jazz. I think
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: they play the Pacers once as well, so pretty favorable
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: schedule for them to kind of it just makes a
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: lot of sense for me to give these guys a
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: night off then, for sure, Lebron and possibly even Luca
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: two cool.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that's important. But even if you were wrong,
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: let's say, let's say, shouldn't you shouldn't be affected too
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: much just with how the times are only two games
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: and then four games, like I think you should probably
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: build with that pre flop with how confident Rio is
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: and doing so will then leave you lighter on the
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: first two games. But even if you get it wrong,
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: being the lighter in the first two games more than
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: likely won't kill you, at least you hope not. And
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: then you have a lot of swaps and stuff for
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: the Lake games. Again, maybe Qui's out Grace and news
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: like that. So yeah, I think it's a solid slay
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: for sure. Prize are solid. I want to shout out.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know why it took so long. Our man, Sheets,
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: dude is on an absolute heater, five hundred thousand big
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: ones taking on the fan to a live final with
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: a bust from KD two.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: But yeah, one of the sharpest guys out there, no
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: doubt about that.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: I want to congratulate you, Sheets, I mean, had a
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: great day on DraftKings last week. I think it was
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: like eighty thousand two tickets something like that. So is
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: there still still live finals reo? Is there like one
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: or two days left? They're all it's all full now,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: it's all full. Yeah, best traveling today.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Is it for Friday or Saturday?
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what day it is. Actually they did
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Friday last year, but I think that was because of
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: the scheduling that the NBA did, but it's normally on Saturdays. Yeah,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: shout out to Sheets, been crushing it as of late.
