- 0:04Speaker 1: All system's going clear the lift, what's going on?
- 0:36Speaker 2: Everybody? Happy Tuesday with my man Rio? What a hectic
- 0:40Speaker 2: eight game slate. We have trade deadline in two days
- 0:43Speaker 2: on Thursday, so yeah, they're already starting to pile in.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Rio's Utah Jazz making the big move. So I'll just
- 0:49Speaker 2: throw a tea right on that. How's your day going, Rio,
- 0:51Speaker 2: And what do you think of the Jazz and the
- 0:53Speaker 2: Memphis trade?
- 0:55Speaker 3: And the day's going really well. I like the trade
- 0:57Speaker 3: for Utah personally. I've seen some mixed reviews on Twitter,
- 1:00Speaker 3: but I think it's a good trade. Got somebody that
- 1:04Speaker 3: gives you some upside for the near future when now
- 1:07Speaker 3: guy already under contract for a while too, which is
- 1:09Speaker 3: the biggest thing, because Jazz aren't. They're really not a
- 1:13Speaker 3: team that's ever going to sign a big name free agency.
- 1:15Speaker 3: You have to go out and trade them or draft them,
- 1:17Speaker 3: which is a lot tougher to do. So I like
- 1:19Speaker 3: the trade for Utah and then we still keep our
- 1:21Speaker 3: pick for next year. Gave up two first in the
- 1:24Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven draft, which seems like it's gonna be
- 1:27Speaker 3: one of the weaker ones moving forward, so I think
- 1:29Speaker 3: it's a good move. For US. Fine trade for Memphis.
- 1:32Speaker 3: I guess they have turned Baine and Jaron Jackson into
- 1:35Speaker 3: seven first round picks and then probably turning John Ran
- 1:39Speaker 3: to another two to four I would imagine over the
- 1:42Speaker 3: next five seasons. Is not a bad place to be.
- 1:46Speaker 3: But yeah, Jazz essentially turned Rudy Gobert into Walker Kessler,
- 1:49Speaker 3: Jared Jackson Junior, and Keyonte George. I think that turned
- 1:53Speaker 3: out to be a pretty good trade for them. Yeah.
- 1:55Speaker 2: I mean, when you say it like that, that sounds phenomenal,
- 1:57Speaker 2: But that sounds good for Memphis too. I mean, they
- 1:59Speaker 2: weren't don't win anything with their current squad in my opinion,
- 2:02Speaker 2: so when it's time like that, it's time to send Jaron,
- 2:06Speaker 2: send John and restart with some picks. So yeah, I mean,
- 2:08Speaker 2: I think nowadays you can win both teams can win trades,
- 2:12Speaker 2: and how I see it, I think that's the case.
- 2:14Speaker 2: But I do like what Utah is doing. Going really
- 2:16Speaker 2: big in their starting lineup for their potential starting lineup
- 2:19Speaker 2: definitely can cause some problems for the opposition. Our man, Matt,
- 2:23Speaker 2: I did see only one guy in his core up
- 2:25Speaker 2: on the site right now, and that is Isaiah Collier.
- 2:28Speaker 2: I mean man, Mega mega chalk. What a crazy slate
- 2:31Speaker 2: we have, just sorting by value right now, you can
- 2:34Speaker 2: see the top three, six, eight value plays on the slate,
- 2:38Speaker 2: or all Pacers. We'll get there in a secon with
- 2:41Speaker 2: the first game of the night, but very very concentrated
- 2:43Speaker 2: slate when the whole Pacers team's ruled out. Obviously some
- 2:47Speaker 2: of Utah's stuff like I think we're gonna go through
- 2:49Speaker 2: a lot of these games and be like no, I
- 2:51Speaker 2: don't want anyone, or I only want one or two guys,
- 2:54Speaker 2: and then we'll spend a lot of time on a
- 2:56Speaker 2: game like the Utah Jazz and Indiana Pacers to start.
- 2:59Speaker 2: So it isn't eight game slate. DK has kept the
- 3:03Speaker 2: bigger slates, but yeah, there's all locks within an hour,
- 3:06Speaker 2: So seven eastern it was gonna regardless if they were
- 3:09Speaker 2: adding late games or not. They didn't have the really
- 3:11Speaker 2: really late game, but it was gonna be eight games
- 3:13Speaker 2: slate regardless of seven eastern lock time. It takes you
- 3:16Speaker 2: all the way to eight eastern. And yeah, plenty of
- 3:19Speaker 2: injury news we'll be talking about. Got to say hi
- 3:21Speaker 2: to everyone first before we get into a Jason Turner,
- 3:23Speaker 2: our man, little neck Ricky William, Marcus Jordan, coach sav

- 5:15Speaker 2: that the whole time. All right, there we go. Any
- 5:18Speaker 2: initial thoughts Slate overview, I think I kind of covered it. Pacers,
- 5:21Speaker 2: I mean, they're all free and then pick the studs
- 5:24Speaker 2: you want and go about your day. But yeah, anything
- 5:26Speaker 2: for you before we go game by game.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Uh no, Yeah, I was just kind of thinking through
- 5:31Speaker 3: like it feels like a slate where you choose your
- 5:33Speaker 3: studs and then let the value kind of land where
- 5:36Speaker 3: it is because I don't I mean, we'll talk about
- 5:37Speaker 3: when we get into the Indie and the Jazz game,
- 5:40Speaker 3: but just kind of broad so it over you, That's
- 5:43Speaker 3: what I'm looking at. You' obviously gonna be playing Indie
- 5:45Speaker 3: and Utah guys, but you need to kind of hone
- 5:47Speaker 3: in on who you're spinning up for tonight. Yeah.
- 5:50Speaker 2: I mean when you're comparing value on other teams, I
- 5:52Speaker 2: just it's so hard for me to pick them, almost
- 5:55Speaker 2: any of them over these Pacers stuff. So just get
- 5:57Speaker 2: different with your spends, maybe roster constructions that stuff. Maybe
- 6:01Speaker 2: some groups that RIO can help us out. But yeah,
- 6:03Speaker 2: we'd love to have you at the Nation. Hey, what's
- 6:06Speaker 2: going on, Big Marley? You're going to the Pacers game? Yeah, well,
- 6:08Speaker 2: what a great game for you to go to. You'll
- 6:10Speaker 2: have probably over half a your roster at Dunk call
- 6:13Speaker 2: the Jazz game reel, but probably over half your roster
- 6:16Speaker 2: in that one game Big Marley, so that'd be a
- 6:18Speaker 2: lot of fun. Enjoy it there, what's going on all day?
- 6:22Speaker 2: Ricky in here, appreciate it mighty as well. Pair By
- 6:25Speaker 2: Luis a lot of people in here. All we asked,
- 6:27Speaker 2: like button subscribe, button helps us out a ton. We're
- 6:30Speaker 2: going to take you into the first game of the night.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Rio's Utah Jazz taking on Big Marley's Indiana Pacers. Two
- 6:36Speaker 2: and a half point favorites are the Jazz two thirty
- 6:39Speaker 2: two and a half total. I'm kicking myself a little
- 6:41Speaker 2: bit with the new tax lie. I told myself I'm
- 6:43Speaker 2: not betting, but I was on my phone when all
- 6:46Speaker 2: that Pacers news hit, and I almost did hit the
- 6:48Speaker 2: Jazz money line at plus money shortly after they took
- 6:51Speaker 2: it off. Now their favorites, So I'm sorry, Rio, I'll
- 6:54Speaker 2: be cheering for the Pacers just because the emotional hedge,
- 6:57Speaker 2: because I should have had more money in my pocket otherwise.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Injury report though, here we go. Pacers. No Nemhart, no Siakam,
- 7:04Speaker 2: no Nie Smith, no Mathern, no TJ McConnell, Micah Potter
- 7:08Speaker 2: is questionable on the Utah side. No Kyle Anderson, No,
- 7:12Speaker 2: Walter Clayton, Kevin Love, Doubtful, Keyante, George Out. I mean, yeah,
- 7:18Speaker 2: I think I said everything that needs to be said.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Just looking at the pacer side, it's very obvious the
- 7:23Speaker 2: shorthanded the highest priced guy is fifty two hundred. They're
- 7:26Speaker 2: all projecting for insane value Utah side as well, though,
- 7:30Speaker 2: I'd say the second best on this late Collier looks
- 7:32Speaker 2: really good without Kyante, and then yeah with the trades
- 7:36Speaker 2: kind of thing a little bit in the front core,
- 7:37Speaker 2: but I mean, Laurie looks really good. He's gonna have
- 7:40Speaker 2: to carry bulk of it. Flukowski sense a boss Fee,
- 7:43Speaker 2: I mean, how do you not load up on this game?
- 7:45Speaker 2: Take it away however you want to talk about it.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if it's wrong for me to
- 7:50Speaker 3: be more interested in the Utah size. But currently they
- 7:52Speaker 3: only have eight guys that are gonna be suiting up
- 7:55Speaker 3: unless they call up some of these G League guys.
- 7:58Speaker 3: I don't know if they're gonna be calling up multiple
- 8:00Speaker 3: but they do have John Tanji, Oscar Schiebwe and E. J.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Harkless as guys that they can call up. They don't
- 8:05Speaker 3: play tonight. I think they play the G League guys
- 8:07Speaker 3: don't play tonight. They played tomorrow back home, so there's
- 8:10Speaker 3: a good chance that we see one or two of
- 8:13Speaker 3: these guys get called up. But as the stands right now,
- 8:15Speaker 3: the Jazz have eight guys, so definitely one you're gonna
- 8:17Speaker 3: have to prioritize if it stays that way, because that's
- 8:20Speaker 3: kind of like the magic number where you want probably
- 8:23Speaker 3: like minimum two, maybe up to like four Jazz pieces
- 8:26Speaker 3: if they do only run out eight. And then the
- 8:29Speaker 3: pacers side obviously going to be a huge source for value.
- 8:32Speaker 3: I start with the Utah side, though for me it's
- 8:35Speaker 3: Isaiah Collier. Me and Matt are gonna be on him
- 8:37Speaker 3: pretty heavily tonight, I would imagine. I mean, I just
- 8:39Speaker 3: don't see how he doesn't play like thirty six plus.
- 8:42Speaker 3: I could even see him playing more than forty because
- 8:45Speaker 3: he's essentially the only guard, like true point guard we
- 8:48Speaker 3: have on the roster now with no Walter Clayton and
- 8:50Speaker 3: Kyant George out unless they call it EJ. Harkless, but
- 8:53Speaker 3: either way, I think they're gonna play him a ton
- 8:55Speaker 3: He had a really big role last game that he
- 8:58Speaker 3: started seven point two minutes of touchdown twelve potential assist
- 9:01Speaker 3: nineteen points in that game, and it's got a really
- 9:03Speaker 3: good chance to replicate that stat line. No Kyante, really
- 9:07Speaker 3: thin guard defense on the other side of the Pacers,
- 9:10Speaker 3: who are already pretty bad with pick and roll defense,
- 9:11Speaker 3: but now with no nem Hard, no Nie Smith, no
- 9:14Speaker 3: Mather and no really good guard defenders, I think that
- 9:17Speaker 3: he's got really, really big upside here. I think that
- 9:20Speaker 3: a double double for him is in place if you
- 9:22Speaker 3: want to bet that, like it seems like a pretty
- 9:25Speaker 3: good bet. I think the Jazz will be able to
- 9:27Speaker 3: score a ton. He's gonna have the ball in his
- 9:28Speaker 3: hands a lot, so really big opportunity here for Isaiah Collier.
- 9:32Speaker 3: I hope that the ownership stays where it's at, but
- 9:34Speaker 3: I imagine it comes up throughout the day as we
- 9:36Speaker 3: had closer to Locke.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Yeah, let me just say this ownership is not even
- 9:39Speaker 2: close to updated. I hope it will update throughout the show,
- 9:42Speaker 2: but I mean Callier very well might be forty percent,
- 9:44Speaker 2: Like he's gonna be one of the chockey. Oh maybe
- 9:47Speaker 2: that's the ownership that we're looking at right here, but
- 9:49Speaker 2: I it's just no, it's it's not. But yeah, I
- 9:53Speaker 2: hate to break it to Rio, but I just I
- 9:55Speaker 2: don't think that's even close to the case.
- 9:57Speaker 3: You think it'll be more than like twenty percent? Yeah,
- 10:00Speaker 3: very confident that it will be. Yeah, I mean, I
- 10:05Speaker 3: guess all the indie guards have shooting guard eligibility as well.
- 10:09Speaker 3: So it's pretty easy to play Jackson plus Collier and
- 10:12Speaker 3: then you can even get Luca.
- 10:13Speaker 2: You can play Luca with I'm very easy, like I
- 10:16Speaker 2: I think it's really he might be thirty five, forty
- 10:19Speaker 2: something like that.
- 10:20Speaker 3: I'd still be fine with that ownership. Honestly, I think
- 10:22Speaker 3: that he's just I really I haven't close to projected
- 10:25Speaker 3: for like, like forty four is what I have I
- 10:30Speaker 3: mean right now, And that makes sense.
- 10:32Speaker 2: If you said he could play maybe forty minutes savors
- 10:34Speaker 2: him right now is thirty three minutes at thirty four.
- 10:36Speaker 2: That's a way to get exactly this. So, yeah, listen
- 10:40Speaker 2: to what we're saying right now, I'm sharing it. Everything
- 10:42Speaker 2: will be updated, our ownership, our projections, all that. But yeah,
- 10:46Speaker 2: let me just say that they're light on I think
- 10:48Speaker 2: almost all these Utah guys.
- 10:50Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna come up a ton, but I yeah,
- 10:52Speaker 3: like I said, I'd be totally fine with it, I
- 10:54Speaker 3: haven't projected as like one of the better mid tier
- 10:56Speaker 3: guys on the entire slate, like right up there with
- 10:58Speaker 3: the indep Pacers value after him. Like, I don't know
- 11:03Speaker 3: if it's necessarily a spot where you have to go
- 11:05Speaker 3: to your way to play these guys, because the difference
- 11:06Speaker 3: between Indy and Utah is that the Jazz are priced
- 11:09Speaker 3: up eight point two for LORI, where the highest priced
- 11:13Speaker 3: guy on India is five point two K. So you're
- 11:15Speaker 3: probably getting better points per dollar outcomes from those Indie guys.
- 11:19Speaker 3: But these guys are going to play a ton, Like
- 11:21Speaker 3: I said, if there's only eight guys available, they're going
- 11:23Speaker 3: to play a ton. So I think Nirk is definitely
- 11:25Speaker 3: in play at seven point seven K. I think LORII
- 11:28Speaker 3: is in play for sure. I would probably be more
- 11:30Speaker 3: focused on the younger guys that I could see them
- 11:34Speaker 3: kind of maybe not like you won't be capable of
- 11:36Speaker 3: valing back the minutes for Laurie and Nirk if they
- 11:38Speaker 3: only have eight. But I think we could get thirty
- 11:41Speaker 3: six plus from Ace, like thirty six from Sense of Bob,
- 11:44Speaker 3: maybe like thirty four from Cody Williams. I don't think
- 11:47Speaker 3: he'd necessarily be in play, But I think Ace and
- 11:49Speaker 3: Sensabar are the two other guys that I'm looking at
- 11:51Speaker 3: behind Collier Tonight. Ace has been coming on a little
- 11:55Speaker 3: bit as of late. I think it's a good spot
- 11:56Speaker 3: for him. Wings have been a place to attack Indy
- 11:59Speaker 3: all season long, and now with their how thin they are,
- 12:01Speaker 3: I think it's an even better spot for him. And
- 12:02Speaker 3: then we know sensaba when he plays, he's gonna chuck.
- 12:05Speaker 3: He might be the secondary ball handler behind Carl Aert
- 12:08Speaker 3: tonight too, so he should be in a pretty good spot.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Five point four K, good price sect for him. We've
- 12:13Speaker 3: seen him have a really big upside. So those are
- 12:15Speaker 3: the guys I'm focusing on the Utah side for Indy.
- 12:18Speaker 3: You're obviously gonna be playing a lot of these guys.
- 12:22Speaker 3: I think Quentin Jackson is the one guy that I'm
- 12:25Speaker 3: probably gonna be like even to the field with, and
- 12:28Speaker 3: then I think it's kind of a big drop off
- 12:30Speaker 3: after that in terms of priority, Like they have bodies
- 12:35Speaker 3: for their front court with Isaiah Jackson, Jay Huff Furfey
- 12:38Speaker 3: and Jeris Walker and Michael Potter think all five of
- 12:41Speaker 3: those guys will mix in at the four and five spots,
- 12:44Speaker 3: but I think Jerris Walker is a pretty pretty solid
- 12:47Speaker 3: option here. I think he's probably playing thirty five plus.
- 12:50Speaker 3: I'd be a little bit less interested in playing Jay
- 12:54Speaker 3: Huff and at really high ownership because I don't really
- 12:57Speaker 3: think that he's playing thirty plus. Like we saw Isaia
- 12:59Speaker 3: Jackson and cut into his minutes a ton last night.
- 13:02Speaker 3: They said Michah Potter, so it could be three guys
- 13:04Speaker 3: mixing in behind him at center. So I think it's
- 13:07Speaker 3: really Quinn Jackson, Jarrifs Walker as like the two S
- 13:11Speaker 3: tier plays like the one A, one B options and
- 13:13Speaker 3: then a little bit of a drop off down to
- 13:15Speaker 3: Huff Eye Jacks, but I think Furfy is pretty good.
- 13:19Speaker 3: And then like Cam Jones, Ethan Thompson, Ben Shephard, Taylor
- 13:23Speaker 3: and Peter are all gonna be mixing in for guard minutes,
- 13:26Speaker 3: You're definitely gonna be getting a ton of paces to night,
- 13:29Speaker 3: but I think that you can limit how much you're
- 13:31Speaker 3: getting them with rules, So for me, I think I'll
- 13:34Speaker 3: be a max two of Huff, Isaiah Jackson, and Michael Potter.
- 13:39Speaker 3: I think Walker and Furfy don't really need to be
- 13:41Speaker 3: included in any groups, but I would probably want to
- 13:43Speaker 3: be a max two of the Quinn Jackson, Thompson, Cam Jones,
- 13:48Speaker 3: Taylor Peter and Ben Sheppard grouping. Do you have any
- 13:52Speaker 3: any input there and like the rules or like how
- 13:55Speaker 3: many you're okay with tonight? I think four is tolely
- 13:57Speaker 3: fine for singlestry, maybe even five.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Honestly, Yeah, I definitely don't have a lean on the rules.
- 14:02Speaker 2: As far as max. I want to say probably I
- 14:07Speaker 2: wouldn't want too many teams with five, and a lot
- 14:09Speaker 2: of that just has to do with just the price,
- 14:11Speaker 2: Like salary is pretty much irrelevant. But at the end
- 14:13Speaker 2: of the day, you can find twenty five hundred to
- 14:16Speaker 2: find someone that projects a decent bit better or something
- 14:18Speaker 2: that you want to do, Like, I just don't know
- 14:20Speaker 2: if I need five guys when the highest priced guys
- 14:22Speaker 2: five point two K and a lot of this or
- 14:25Speaker 2: the plays that we like or in the three K.
- 14:27Speaker 2: So I think four is a sweet spot. Definitely can
- 14:31Speaker 2: play three, even though it feels a little light, but
- 14:33Speaker 2: five feels a little too heavy. And when you go five,
- 14:35Speaker 2: I think it just gets really concentrated on where you
- 14:37Speaker 2: go after, Like I think everyone would play Luca after that.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Maybe at Jalen Johnson, like you just fall into very
- 14:43Speaker 2: similar build that way.
- 14:44Speaker 3: Yeah, you have like no win equity with those types
- 14:47Speaker 3: of lineups.
- 14:48Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't have any I always uh defer
- 14:52Speaker 2: to you on the groupings and stuff. But probably four
- 14:55Speaker 2: three and four sounds like the sweet spot today, like
- 14:58Speaker 2: ten bodies.
- 14:59Speaker 3: Is not nothing like they for sure. I don't know
- 15:02Speaker 3: if like Jaris Walker probably has the best chance of
- 15:05Speaker 3: topping thirty four minutes tonight, but I feel like they
- 15:08Speaker 3: have enough bodies at the garden in the front court
- 15:10Speaker 3: to play these guys anywhere from like twenty eight to
- 15:13Speaker 3: thirty at the most. Yeah, no, I agree.
- 15:17Speaker 2: I mean I don't really have like too much more
- 15:19Speaker 2: to How would you, I guess rank give me your
- 15:21Speaker 2: top four in terms of ranking in these guys.
- 15:25Speaker 3: For the Pacers, it would be Quentin Jackson number one
- 15:27Speaker 3: by a pretty wide margin, then Jaris Walker, and then
- 15:32Speaker 3: probably Furfey and then Jay Huff. Okay, yeah, I think
- 15:38Speaker 3: that's how it happened. I like it, are you for
- 15:41Speaker 3: Jackson is like the like, hands down the best vibelin
- 15:44Speaker 3: this late, Like it's not even close.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and we're showing that in terms of value,
- 15:48Speaker 2: like nine point eight six seventy eight percent in the flagship.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Let's see what high stakes again? This will be updated
- 15:53Speaker 2: ninety four percent, Yeah, in the high stakes, and and me, yeah,
- 15:57Speaker 2: that is right for sure. The Utah stuff has to
- 15:59Speaker 2: be updated. This looks right. Are you fine with six
- 16:04Speaker 2: players in this game? Like you're picking your four Indiana
- 16:07Speaker 2: guys and you're playing Lori and Collier.
- 16:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that's a I think so.
- 16:15Speaker 3: I don't know that you only have one other spot
- 16:18Speaker 3: to really get right or wrong. I guess, so it's
- 16:20Speaker 3: kind of you give all your eggs into one game basket.
- 16:24Speaker 3: But I could, I mean, I could definitely see six
- 16:26Speaker 3: guys putting up a big enough score here.
- 16:29Speaker 2: I think I'm good with it. I mean, man, like
- 16:32Speaker 2: the Utah's eight guys, Klier and Lorie you look like
- 16:36Speaker 2: two of the better plays on this lader. You can
- 16:37Speaker 2: subm in Nurkic or whatever you want, but I think
- 16:40Speaker 2: the best two win going these guys, since you're probably
- 16:42Speaker 2: at least playing maybe in Isaiah Jackson, who's just center.
- 16:46Speaker 2: Jay Hoff does a power forward, so if you do that,
- 16:48Speaker 2: you can go NRK. But yeah, I think I'd be
- 16:50Speaker 2: fine playing six in this game.
- 16:53Speaker 3: We do have.
- 16:53Speaker 2: I mean, there is some q taggs on this late,
- 16:55Speaker 2: but nothing is going to open up to be a
- 16:57Speaker 2: spot like this unless we get a blockbuster trade or
- 17:00Speaker 2: something like that. So any other final thoughts on this game.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Our guy Colin is off of Carlier. I'll call it
- 17:06Speaker 3: right now. Carlier is on the ultimal lineup tonight. There
- 17:10Speaker 3: you go, Spee. Did you mention anything about spe No,
- 17:14Speaker 3: I mean he's gonna play. He's cheap. So you just
- 17:16Speaker 3: compared him to Pace or stuff like. It's yeah, he
- 17:18Speaker 3: doesn't do anything but launch threes, like he's not getting
- 17:21Speaker 3: a ton of rebounds or assists. You're gonna get really
- 17:24Speaker 3: strong roles from like Quentin Jackson and some of these
- 17:27Speaker 3: other guys, so I would I don't think that he's
- 17:29Speaker 3: too much in play, but not how to play by
- 17:31Speaker 3: any means.
- 17:33Speaker 2: I think we got news shortly before the show that
- 17:35Speaker 2: Nirk was going to play.
- 17:36Speaker 3: Yeah he got ruled in. Yep. Cool, all right.
- 17:40Speaker 2: I got nothing more there. If it is updated, we'll
- 17:42Speaker 2: come back to check out the ownership. But right now
- 17:46Speaker 2: I think they're very we are very ann sabers him
- 17:48Speaker 2: light on Utah and that will be adjusted throughout the day.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Next game on the late seven pm Eastern New York
- 17:54Speaker 2: Knicks and the Washington Wizards. Thirteen a half point favorites
- 17:57Speaker 2: of the Knicks two twenty seven and a half total
- 17:59Speaker 2: in this one. On the Knick side, no Mitch rob
- 18:01Speaker 2: no Miles McBride. On the Washington side, no Trey Johnson.
- 18:06Speaker 2: That is the only injury news there. I mean, yeah,
- 18:09Speaker 2: like we talked about it with the Spens, you'll have Spens.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Do you want to play cat, you want to play Brunson,
- 18:15Speaker 2: heart Bridges all that. I just don't know how you
- 18:17Speaker 2: can play like a Tyler Kohlik or whatever over these
- 18:20Speaker 2: pacers stuff. So their big favorites are the Knicks. I
- 18:23Speaker 2: think there's other Spens that will definitely be more popular.
- 18:26Speaker 2: I will say Talent I think is going to get
- 18:28Speaker 2: a decent amount of ownership. But yeah, it's it spends
- 18:32Speaker 2: or nothing in this one, and tough for me to
- 18:34Speaker 2: get to the Wizard side unless you're all over like
- 18:36Speaker 2: a sar or Keishaan. They've had their games, but I'll
- 18:39Speaker 2: let you talk about it.
- 18:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that the Knicks are going to roll here.
- 18:42Speaker 3: They're playing really, really good as of late, ever since
- 18:45Speaker 3: they had the players only meeting last two weeks their
- 18:48Speaker 3: first in defense, first and offense. Wizards have been in
- 18:51Speaker 3: some competitive game environments, but you look at their schedule,
- 18:54Speaker 3: like they played Sacramento and they benched all their guys
- 18:57Speaker 3: in the second half. Then you beat Portland, was not
- 19:00Speaker 3: playing that great. You beat Milwaukee obviously, Milwaukee's one of
- 19:03Speaker 3: the worst teams the league now, and then they got
- 19:04Speaker 3: blown out by the Lakers. So I think that the
- 19:08Speaker 3: Knicks role here. We could still get good enough minutes
- 19:11Speaker 3: from guys like Sarrow and Kishon George that even like
- 19:14Speaker 3: a blowout or like a not super competitive game, they
- 19:17Speaker 3: could get there. But I think the best way to
- 19:19Speaker 3: play them is probably in the game environment. So I
- 19:22Speaker 3: would probably pair Sorrow or George with one of the Knicks.
- 19:25Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm not really going out of my way
- 19:28Speaker 3: to play these guys. I think that the Knick side
- 19:29Speaker 3: is a lot better. I like Towns here at eight
- 19:32Speaker 3: point three k really good matchup for him. He's cooked
- 19:35Speaker 3: the Wizards this season already and also just playing a
- 19:38Speaker 3: lot better, getting a ton of rebounds twenty rebounds in
- 19:41Speaker 3: two of his last three games, and then Wizards are
- 19:43Speaker 3: still one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA.
- 19:46Speaker 3: I think Kat's in a really big spot here, a
- 19:48Speaker 3: little bit under on Brunson. He's going to get the
- 19:50Speaker 3: blow cool Bali assignment, which is not really a matchup
- 19:52Speaker 3: to attack when we have all the playthrough options of
- 19:55Speaker 3: spend ups at especially at point guard two. So I
- 19:57Speaker 3: think he's kind of pretty far down the list, and
- 20:01Speaker 3: then the match is really good for the Heart Ojing
- 20:03Speaker 3: mckal Bridges, mckill bridges grouping. I think Heart is the
- 20:06Speaker 3: best there seven K shooting guard, small ford eligibility really
- 20:10Speaker 3: like Heart in these games where you can get out
- 20:12Speaker 3: in scoring transition. Wizards are bottom ten transition, I believe
- 20:15Speaker 3: this season, so pretty good spot for him. Yeah, it's
- 20:18Speaker 3: a pretty straightforward game. I think it's kind of cut
- 20:20Speaker 3: in a tier of his own and then the rest
- 20:22Speaker 3: of the rest of the Knicks.
- 20:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a lot of these school will kind
- 20:26Speaker 2: of be pretty obvious because it's just really hard for
- 20:30Speaker 2: you to pick a value play outside of the Pacers
- 20:33Speaker 2: and maybe some Utah but that you want to play
- 20:35Speaker 2: over them. So it's the mid tier in the upper
- 20:37Speaker 2: tier where you're getting different on this late next game,
- 20:41Speaker 2: Denver Nuggets in the Detroit Pistons. We're looking at nuggets,
- 20:46Speaker 2: excuse me, Pistons five in that point favor. It's two
- 20:48Speaker 2: twenty nine and a half total in this one. On
- 20:50Speaker 2: the Denver side, Christian Brown is questionable. On the Detroit side,
- 20:55Speaker 2: they traded Jade and Ivy.
- 20:58Speaker 3: So that's it.
- 20:58Speaker 2: There, not really too much fantasy implications in terms of
- 21:02Speaker 2: a slate like this. Yeah, I mean you look at it.
- 21:04Speaker 2: Who's to spend Jokic, Cad, Durham. I mean that's kind
- 21:09Speaker 2: of I think the guys I'm looking at it and
- 21:10Speaker 2: ownership following. Like we'd said the pre show, we haven't
- 21:13Speaker 2: had a slate like this in a long time. But
- 21:15Speaker 2: it's as straightforward as it gets. You just well keep
- 21:18Speaker 2: saying the point. It's so hard to play a mid
- 21:20Speaker 2: tier value guy like Thompson or Tobai is like playing
- 21:24Speaker 2: them over Collier is just so difficult to do today,
- 21:27Speaker 2: or a Jarris Walker or something like that. So you're
- 21:29Speaker 2: playing the cheap value in the Indiana stuff, and then
- 21:33Speaker 2: you're finding your mid tier your stud. So is Yokich
- 21:35Speaker 2: your Cad one of your studs today?
- 21:37Speaker 3: Yeah? Jokis for sure. I think that we might see
- 21:40Speaker 3: him get back to full minutes. Tonight. He was trending
- 21:42Speaker 3: for around thirty two minutes against Okay, so your game
- 21:45Speaker 3: kind of got out of hand so it didn't get
- 21:46Speaker 3: the full rotation. So I think that we might get
- 21:49Speaker 3: him at like thirty four or thirty five now been
- 21:53Speaker 3: you know, usually the third game back from injury is
- 21:54Speaker 3: when they start to ramp up the minutes. Jokic is
- 21:57Speaker 3: generally a guy that does not get injured often like
- 21:59Speaker 3: that kind of a freak injury, So I feel like
- 22:01Speaker 3: he's probably good to go now. There was a little
- 22:04Speaker 3: bit of talk about his endurance not being there, but
- 22:07Speaker 3: I mean he's He's pretty durable, So I feel like
- 22:09Speaker 3: Jokic is pretty much back. And he's done pretty well
- 22:12Speaker 3: against Duran in the past. I mean, he's done well
- 22:14Speaker 3: against everybody. But we're gonna have so much value to
- 22:17Speaker 3: play with. I think that Jokic is definitely guy you
- 22:19Speaker 3: have to consider. And then I'm not exing out the
- 22:22Speaker 3: rest of the Nuggets, but like Murray and Payton Watson
- 22:24Speaker 3: are I probably get zero of them, but they're not
- 22:28Speaker 3: guys that I'm exing out my playerpool. As for the
- 22:30Speaker 3: pists and stuff, it's kid as like the clear spend up.
- 22:34Speaker 3: He's gonna get Peyton Watson tonight. Not really a matchup
- 22:37Speaker 3: that I'm scared off of. But I don't really know
- 22:40Speaker 3: how he compares to the other spend ups. Like I
- 22:42Speaker 3: like Luca a lot more, obviously, like Jokic Moore. I
- 22:44Speaker 3: think I like Jalen Johnson more. And then if Shay
- 22:47Speaker 3: is in, I probably like him a little bit more
- 22:49Speaker 3: than Kid as well. Yeah, another guy that's gonna be
- 22:53Speaker 3: in the playerpool, and we'll definitely hit some bills just
- 22:55Speaker 3: because we have so much value. Been playing well obviously,
- 22:58Speaker 3: has a really good role. And then during and uh, yeah,
- 23:02Speaker 3: I think he's fine. He's been crushing over the last
- 23:05Speaker 3: three games, but he's been around like forty three DK points.
- 23:08Speaker 3: I don't think that's necessarily going to be enough tonight.
- 23:11Speaker 3: So I'd be fine if I get zero, but i'd
- 23:12Speaker 3: be fine if I got like five percent as well.
- 23:14Speaker 3: And that's pretty much it. I think it's just the
- 23:15Speaker 3: spend ups here. Yeah.
- 23:17Speaker 2: I think if you're playing like fifty plus teams and
- 23:19Speaker 2: you're the MMME streets, pretty much anyone over seven K
- 23:23Speaker 2: that maybe shows for value like four point five x
- 23:25Speaker 2: or more, you can just play them, like, that's how
- 23:27Speaker 2: you're getting different.
- 23:28Speaker 3: During is a way to get different today?
- 23:30Speaker 2: Not necessarily kid, but maybe he moon walks back a
- 23:34Speaker 2: little from the twenty one percent, Like I do think
- 23:36Speaker 2: other people will go Luca and some spends more so
- 23:39Speaker 2: I do think unless you have a really really strong
- 23:41Speaker 2: take on a spend, not getting there like even you mentioned,
- 23:43Speaker 2: like Jamal Murray, I'd keep them in my pool. If
- 23:45Speaker 2: you don't get them, fine, but you have unlimited value
- 23:48Speaker 2: and so much of the value you're playing Super Chalky.
- 23:51Speaker 2: You got to get different somewhere, and that's how you're
- 23:54Speaker 2: doing it. You're not leaving like trying to leave money
- 23:57Speaker 2: on this plate, are you? You're obviously open to it,
- 23:59Speaker 2: but NBA, it's something we very rarely do eight games.
- 24:02Speaker 2: That's not one way you're gonna approach getting different, is it.
- 24:05Speaker 3: No. I think that the way that I get different
- 24:07Speaker 3: is with those groups that I mentioned with the Pacers stuff,
- 24:10Speaker 3: because yeah, it's generally a bad idea to leave any
- 24:12Speaker 3: salary for the for NBA.
- 24:15Speaker 2: Yep, absolutely all right, we'll keep it rolling. Appreciate everyone
- 24:18Speaker 2: hanging out with us. How many of the guy right
- 24:19Speaker 2: now two fifty watching on this beautiful Tuesday afternoon. Hope

- 24:28Speaker 2: you're joining a little late and we pull this back
- 24:30Speaker 2: up real quick, really cool stuff. So Boots Bullets, it's
- 24:34Speaker 2: something new for golf. Our guy Matt Gannon, one of
- 24:36Speaker 2: our golf guys, is going to be on the ground

- 24:45Speaker 2: him in discord.
- 24:45Speaker 3: So it's gonna be a premium show.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Is Boots Bullets five point thirty Eastern I believe is

- 25:26Speaker 2: to that. We'd love to have you. And again you
- 25:28Speaker 2: can use the code Boots as you can see right
- 25:31Speaker 2: here to.
- 25:32Speaker 3: Try it out.
- 25:33Speaker 2: All right, next game on the slates, Atlanta Hawks and
- 25:36Speaker 2: the Miami Heat. Let me refresh DK sportsbook quick. We
- 25:40Speaker 2: are looking at one half point favorites for the Heat
- 25:42Speaker 2: two thirty seven and a half total in this one.
- 25:44Speaker 2: On the Atlanta side, Noah kong Wu still out with
- 25:47Speaker 2: that gruesome teeth injury and he definitely need some dental
- 25:50Speaker 2: work there.
- 25:51Speaker 3: That was nasty.
- 25:52Speaker 2: On the Miami side or Norman Powell's doubtful, Andrew Wiggins
- 25:57Speaker 2: is questionable. So right now I'm looking at all right,
- 26:00Speaker 2: we have Bam, we have Jalen Johnson, and then yeah,
- 26:04Speaker 2: I guess maybe Wiggins if he does play. I'll let
- 26:07Speaker 2: you take it away, though I do not see myself
- 26:09Speaker 2: getting any value, like I keep saying.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Yeah, Wiggins is a guy that could be on the move.
- 26:16Speaker 3: They're obviously the Miami has kind of been in the
- 26:18Speaker 3: trade talks for a few players, John Moran and Yannis,
- 26:22Speaker 3: so they're gonna have to send back a pretty big
- 26:24Speaker 3: haul to get one or two of those guys. I
- 26:28Speaker 3: think the projected trade for Giannis was like where Hero
- 26:32Speaker 3: and somebody it might have been Jovic, I forget who
- 26:35Speaker 3: the third person was, and then obviously draft picks so
- 26:38Speaker 3: we could see if anything happens tonight before this game,
- 26:41Speaker 3: could see the Miami stuff thin out a little bit.
- 26:44Speaker 3: But as the stands right now, just one Q tag
- 26:47Speaker 3: not really moving things enough for me to want to
- 26:51Speaker 3: go on my way to play these Miami guys. I
- 26:53Speaker 3: like the matchup for bam a ton here. Hawks have
- 26:56Speaker 3: been pretty good defensively round the basket. Getting KP back
- 26:59Speaker 3: should definitely help them. But Band's been playing really well.
- 27:02Speaker 3: I think he has twenty plus points in eight straight games,
- 27:04Speaker 3: so score on the ball really well. Was limited last
- 27:07Speaker 3: game due to the blowout. He'd be the guy that
- 27:09Speaker 3: I have the most interesting, and then if Wiggins were
- 27:11Speaker 3: to miss, I think Hawkes is a guy to consider
- 27:13Speaker 3: at six point five K because he's shown really big upside.
- 27:17Speaker 3: So those are two guys I have the most interesting.
- 27:20Speaker 3: I don't think that the Wiggins outag would do it
- 27:23Speaker 3: enough for guys like Drew Smith or Daveon. Just comparing
- 27:25Speaker 3: them to the Pacers stuff is they're pretty far down
- 27:29Speaker 3: the list for me, so I think it's just just
- 27:32Speaker 3: Bam and high May for me. On the Hawk side,
- 27:36Speaker 3: Jalen I think is one of the top spins on
- 27:38Speaker 3: the slate. I really like the pace for him in
- 27:40Speaker 3: this one. He has seen a little bit of a
- 27:42Speaker 3: dip in his assists rates since the Cig McCom trade,
- 27:45Speaker 3: but the usage is still pretty good twenty eight percent
- 27:48Speaker 3: in ten games with Cig McCom this season, and we're
- 27:52Speaker 3: gonna need to spend up at some places, mainly at
- 27:55Speaker 3: forward because I think we have a ton of center
- 27:57Speaker 3: and guard value. So he makes a lot of sense.
- 28:00Speaker 3: This is a just kind of a spin up by default,
- 28:02Speaker 3: but I actually think he's got a really, like a
- 28:04Speaker 3: really appealing upside in this matchup with the game solal,
- 28:07Speaker 3: We've seen them really thrive in these fast paced game environments,
- 28:09Speaker 3: so he'd be one of my top spens tonight. I
- 28:12Speaker 3: like the matchup for Nik Alexander Walker, but just don't
- 28:14Speaker 3: think that there's enough upside for these guys at seven
- 28:16Speaker 3: point one for naw seven point four for Dyson. That's
- 28:20Speaker 3: a pretty big price tag on this big of a slave.
- 28:22Speaker 3: So I think it's just Jalen for me.
- 28:25Speaker 2: I agree, and I think I do think Jalen's pretty strong.
- 28:28Speaker 2: How would you rank? I know, some different positions, but
- 28:31Speaker 2: positions only matter a little bit on a slate like this,
- 28:34Speaker 2: cad Sga, Jokic, Luca, Jalen Johnson, and I'll say Jalen
- 28:39Speaker 2: Brown nine point a k and above. Where would you
- 28:42Speaker 2: put Jalen Johnson that list.
- 28:44Speaker 3: Behind uh Luka and Jokic, but ahead of everybody else?
- 28:48Speaker 2: I think, Okay, I like it. I like it all right,
- 28:51Speaker 2: keep it rolling. Next game on the slate, Yeah, this
- 28:53Speaker 2: will be one of the faster eight games. Slates still
- 28:55Speaker 2: got almost half the games to talk about. But that
- 28:58Speaker 2: first game the Pacers Utah. If you're fade in that game,
- 29:02Speaker 2: feel free to send me a head to head or
- 29:03Speaker 2: something like that, because yeah, you need a lot of
- 29:05Speaker 2: exposure for that one. Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn
- 29:08Speaker 2: Nets seven that point favorite to the Lakers two twenty
- 29:12Speaker 2: one and a half total in this one. On the
- 29:14Speaker 2: Lakers side, Austin Reeves is questionable. No injuries to note
- 29:17Speaker 2: on the Brooklyn side sorting by let's go sortify ownership.
- 29:23Speaker 2: It's Luca and then there's nobody else after that. My
- 29:25Speaker 2: question to you MPJ and Lebron if you have any
- 29:29Speaker 2: interest in them, because obviously Luca is a very strong play.
- 29:32Speaker 3: Yeah. I do have a little bit interest in them.
- 29:34Speaker 3: I think that the upside for MPJ is that if
- 29:37Speaker 3: the game is closed, which it should be close enough.
- 29:40Speaker 3: Eight point spread is not huge. There's definitely some blowout
- 29:43Speaker 3: risk there. But if the game is close, we're seeing
- 29:45Speaker 3: MPJ play its on. He's played thirty seven minutes in
- 29:47Speaker 3: each of the last two games, and when he's out
- 29:50Speaker 3: for that many minutes, he's gonna take a ton of shots.
- 29:52Speaker 3: Went for thirty six and thirty eight points in those
- 29:54Speaker 3: last two games, So obviously plenty of upside for him
- 29:57Speaker 3: at a point ak, I think he's definitely gonna be
- 29:58Speaker 3: one of those spent options that you consider tonight. It's
- 30:01Speaker 3: a pretty good matchup too. Lakers aren't playing great on defense.
- 30:06Speaker 3: I believe they're like bottom ten over the last two weeks,
- 30:09Speaker 3: and they are a bit more of a three point
- 30:10Speaker 3: final this season. They also have a really bad rim defense,
- 30:13Speaker 3: but teams just aren't getting a ton of rim shots
- 30:16Speaker 3: up against them, So there's kind of a couple of
- 30:19Speaker 3: ways that the Nets could score here. But I think
- 30:20Speaker 3: FPJ is definitely a guy that I'm considering tonight. I
- 30:24Speaker 3: don't know where he would land and if I was
- 30:26Speaker 3: building like one to three lineups, if you would be
- 30:29Speaker 3: in any of those lineups, but definitely would start to
- 30:31Speaker 3: come into play anything like twenty max or anything like
- 30:35Speaker 3: ten and above for sure for the Lakers. I definitely
- 30:38Speaker 3: think it's worth talking a little bit about the matchup
- 30:40Speaker 3: for Luca because the Nets have been a team that
- 30:43Speaker 3: can take away scoring on lead ball handlers. They're the
- 30:47Speaker 3: best or one of the best pick and roll defenses
- 30:49Speaker 3: in the league just with the way that they throw
- 30:51Speaker 3: aggressive coverages at guards, So that could open up some
- 30:54Speaker 3: easier scoring opportunities for guys like Lebron, for guys like
- 30:58Speaker 3: DeAndre Aiden. Even I think that he's not out of play,
- 31:01Speaker 3: but maybe a little bit thinner, just because I don't
- 31:05Speaker 3: know that's like the he can get taken out of
- 31:08Speaker 3: the rotation pretty quickly if he's not playing well on defense.
- 31:11Speaker 3: But it was a little bit encouraging to see him
- 31:13Speaker 3: play twenty nine to thirty two minutes each of the
- 31:15Speaker 3: last two games. This kind of does matchups similar, like
- 31:19Speaker 3: it's a stylistically similar matchup than the one he just
- 31:22Speaker 3: faced against Washington. Washington bad room defense, bad rebounding team
- 31:25Speaker 3: as well. So I think Aiden is a interesting guy,
- 31:29Speaker 3: just sprinkling in some of your lines because he has
- 31:31Speaker 3: shown a really big upside, But definitely think that it's
- 31:34Speaker 3: Lebron as the or sorry, lucas the top option here.
- 31:37Speaker 3: And then I think Lebron is he could go for
- 31:40Speaker 3: a big game here if they do throw those aggressive
- 31:42Speaker 3: coverages at Luca, like he should be open a ton
- 31:44Speaker 3: if or just least have some more secondary playmaking opportunity.
- 31:47Speaker 3: But I think Luca is probably the best fan on
- 31:51Speaker 3: the slate. It's like him and Jokic and then a
- 31:53Speaker 3: pretty big tear drop. I agree.
- 31:56Speaker 2: I'm trying to see. I don't know, Coach might be rolling.
- 32:00Speaker 3: I didn't see that happen yet. Yeah, I can't find
- 32:03Speaker 3: anything like that.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Come on, put me in coach, very well could happen.
- 32:06Speaker 2: It sounds like they want to happen. But unless you
- 32:08Speaker 2: got the GM's number of on speed dial or something,
- 32:11Speaker 2: I don't know where you're seeing that.
- 32:14Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Luca.
- 32:16Speaker 2: I think this might be another one where I'm not
- 32:18Speaker 2: sure he's going to be thirty percent. Maybe I definitely
- 32:20Speaker 2: feel way more bullish about Yeah, maybe thirty percent. Right,
- 32:25Speaker 2: there's enough spends that people are going to rotate. But
- 32:27Speaker 2: it's so easy to have the money for Luca. Plenty
- 32:29Speaker 2: of people will play him for sure, and you can't argue.
- 32:32Speaker 2: But I do like your MPG shout would you say
- 32:34Speaker 2: about Lebron? I was too busy reading or trying to
- 32:38Speaker 2: find if Harden and Garland did.
- 32:40Speaker 3: Go down, I think that it could be a good
- 32:42Speaker 3: spot for him. Just with the way that the nets
- 32:44Speaker 3: are going to be double teaming Luca or just like
- 32:46Speaker 3: throwing it aggressive coverages at him, there's gonna be somebody
- 32:49Speaker 3: that's left open or at least has those like secondary
- 32:52Speaker 3: playmaking or secondary scoring opportunities. I think that Lebron would
- 32:56Speaker 3: be that guy.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Yeah, And you also do get like direct leverage kind
- 32:59Speaker 2: of off of loop. If Lebron does put up seventy
- 33:02Speaker 2: or whatever, maybe it's less likely Luca does, maybe defers
- 33:05Speaker 2: a little more. You can tell yourself a story that way,
- 33:07Speaker 2: So don't mind it one bit, all right? Eight pm
- 33:11Speaker 2: Easter in the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks seven
- 33:14Speaker 2: half point favorites are the Celtics two twenty three and
- 33:16Speaker 2: a half total in this one for the Dallas side
- 33:19Speaker 2: or Brandon Williams doubtful, d Russ doubtful.
- 33:24Speaker 3: PJ.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Washington is out on the Boston side. Anthony Simons just
- 33:29Speaker 2: got traded. You can talk a little bit about that.
- 33:31Speaker 2: I like what the Celtics did Greb and Vooch getting
- 33:34Speaker 2: rid of Simons, and Simons was playing pretty well as
- 33:37Speaker 2: of Lath They just didn't really need guard help. They're
- 33:39Speaker 2: pretty deep at guard. So yeah, I thought that was
- 33:41Speaker 2: pretty good for Boston getting vouch anything on that, and
- 33:44Speaker 2: then yeah, what do you see in this game? I'm
- 33:47Speaker 2: seeing sorting by salary Jalen Brown. But can we go
- 33:51Speaker 2: a little Cooper flag or Derek White is a conturion spend?
- 33:54Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you talk about a team that didn't really
- 33:57Speaker 3: need guard help. I mean the Chicago Bulls have like
- 34:00Speaker 3: seventeen guards. Now, well, they don't even know what they're doing.
- 34:03Speaker 3: They're just trying to get you, honest. Do you think
- 34:06Speaker 3: the Bulls are trying to get Yannis?
- 34:07Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, I think all these teams are trying
- 34:09Speaker 2: to get y, honest, But it doesn't sound like I mean.
- 34:11Speaker 3: The Bulls went up.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Let's see what it is now, But the Bulls went
- 34:13Speaker 2: up to like plus two fifty or plus three twenty
- 34:16Speaker 2: five like two days ago over the weekend. They're odd
- 34:20Speaker 2: just absolutely skyrocket to get you. Honest, they were the
- 34:22Speaker 2: second second most likely. I'm gonna see it might have
- 34:26Speaker 2: dropped a little bit now, but because it sounds like
- 34:28Speaker 2: now it's the the Wolves are Miami. But yeah, no,
- 34:31Speaker 2: the Bulls are definitely trying to get you, honest.
- 34:34Speaker 3: I don't Yeah, I don't know if they have the
- 34:36Speaker 3: like a trade package I could compete with Miami or
- 34:40Speaker 3: or Minnesota right now. But that I mean, yeah, that's interesting.
- 34:43Speaker 3: I always thought that they'd be more likely to get
- 34:45Speaker 3: like a like a zion or something like that.
- 34:47Speaker 2: But they're odds flew on the weekend. But yeah, it
- 34:50Speaker 2: sounds like it's kind of down to well, I don't know.
- 34:52Speaker 2: Now I'm seeing like Draymond's ready to be like he's
- 34:56Speaker 2: prepared to go to Milwaukee or something, even though the
- 34:58Speaker 2: Golden State it seems like I shut down a little.
- 35:00Speaker 3: But who knows.
- 35:00Speaker 2: At the end of the day, I think Giannis might
- 35:03Speaker 2: stay it, or the Bucks might not trade them and
- 35:05Speaker 2: they might wait for the summer, but we'll see.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems that seems like the most likely outcome,
- 35:11Speaker 3: but yeah, who knows. We'll see. We got a couple
- 35:13Speaker 3: more days. But yeah, I think it's a good trade
- 35:15Speaker 3: for Boston. Get a center that can help them compete
- 35:18Speaker 3: right now, and then you also have a very capable
- 35:21Speaker 3: backup center with the MIAs Kida behind Vouchs. I think
- 35:24Speaker 3: it's a pretty good move for them. Yeah. I mean, well,
- 35:28Speaker 3: they're second tied for second in the East right now,
- 35:30Speaker 3: so definitely still a competitive team. Everybody thought that they'd
- 35:32Speaker 3: be bad and they're Jalen Brown's just really stepped up
- 35:35Speaker 3: in a big way. So yeah, I think it's a
- 35:36Speaker 3: good move for Boston. As for tonight's game, I do
- 35:39Speaker 3: like the matchup a lot for Jalen Brown and ipan
- 35:42Speaker 3: Akuh continues to have a really strong role. Continues to
- 35:45Speaker 3: be one of the drive heaviest players in the league.
- 35:47Speaker 3: He's second in scores off of drive five point two
- 35:50Speaker 3: field goals made per game, which is second behind Shake Gilgis,
- 35:54Speaker 3: and then second in drives per game. Should be well
- 35:57Speaker 3: rested after only playing twenty nine minutes each of the
- 35:58Speaker 3: last two games. They get a night off a couple
- 36:01Speaker 3: nights ago. So I think that Jenn Brown probably the
- 36:04Speaker 3: only guy that I'm really considering on the Boston side tonight,
- 36:07Speaker 3: just kind of, you know, group him into that bucket
- 36:10Speaker 3: of spend ups that you're gonna be needing to play
- 36:12Speaker 3: and mix in. So I think that he's definitely one
- 36:15Speaker 3: of those guys. I like his scoring opportunity here versus
- 36:17Speaker 3: a Dallas team that just has a really weak rim defense.
- 36:21Speaker 3: I think that White and Pritchard probably should remain in
- 36:24Speaker 3: your playpool, especially now that Simon's is on the move,
- 36:28Speaker 3: those minutes should be a lot more secure. We've seen
- 36:29Speaker 3: Simons kind of eat into each of those guys, each
- 36:32Speaker 3: of those guys at different times this season. But the
- 36:35Speaker 3: guard value is really really strong tonight. So I'd much
- 36:38Speaker 3: rather play Callier for similar price, well chiever price in
- 36:41Speaker 3: both White and Pritchard, but in that similar range, and
- 36:44Speaker 3: then obviously the indie value is much better. I would
- 36:48Speaker 3: like the I mean, I like the matchup a lot
- 36:49Speaker 3: for Cada, just don't know if there's necessarily enough upside
- 36:52Speaker 3: for him. We're probably gonna need forty plus from him
- 36:55Speaker 3: at center, and he has not top forty one this season.
- 36:58Speaker 3: I think he's only done it maybe twice in his career.
- 37:02Speaker 3: On the on the Dallas side, saw somebody mentioned Cooper
- 37:06Speaker 3: Flag if he can keep it going. I think he can.
- 37:08Speaker 3: I mean, he's in great form right now, eighty three
- 37:10Speaker 3: points over his last two games. He has seen a
- 37:12Speaker 3: little bit of a role change. There's a I don't
- 37:15Speaker 3: know if it's a new stat or a new tracking stat,
- 37:17Speaker 3: but basically, involvement percentage is how often a player is
- 37:22Speaker 3: involved in offensive possessions, and he's seen his involvement percentage
- 37:26Speaker 3: jump to forty nine percent over the last two games.
- 37:28Speaker 3: He's thirty two percent on ball percentage as well over
- 37:30Speaker 3: the last two so it's a plus fifteen increase to
- 37:33Speaker 3: his involvement and plus nine percent increase to his on
- 37:36Speaker 3: ball percentage. So basically just higher usage, much higher touch time.
- 37:40Speaker 3: And then he's also averaging more potential assists over his
- 37:43Speaker 3: last two games and playing more minutes. So there's a
- 37:45Speaker 3: lot to like about the role for Cooper Flag. And
- 37:49Speaker 3: if our guy Matt's watching, you can play him at
- 37:51Speaker 3: five different positions because he's got point guard and small
- 37:53Speaker 3: Ford eligibility, which is really nice. See, I think that
- 37:57Speaker 3: Flag is definitely in play for me tonight. I have
- 37:59Speaker 3: him projected pretty strongly here. Obviously it's a tough matchup.
- 38:03Speaker 3: Boston does a really good job taking away rim scoring,
- 38:06Speaker 3: but the role is just really good. He's averaging one
- 38:08Speaker 3: point three to one Fantasy points for a minute with
- 38:10Speaker 3: all those guys that, like you mentioned d Low, Brandon
- 38:12Speaker 3: williams Ad and PJ Washington, So a really good role
- 38:15Speaker 3: for Cooper Flag. I think that he's definitely a guy
- 38:19Speaker 3: that I'm considering tonight. At that you're probably better off
- 38:21Speaker 3: playing him at forward, small forward or forward tonight. But yeah,
- 38:25Speaker 3: I definitely like him a good bit here. That's probably it.
- 38:30Speaker 3: I think Nausey is probably a guy that you can
- 38:32Speaker 3: consider because he's had a pretty good role, but I
- 38:34Speaker 3: think with Flag playing so much better that has hurt
- 38:37Speaker 3: his production, so I'm not too into him at this
- 38:39Speaker 3: price tag. And then I really like the matchup for
- 38:42Speaker 3: Christy and Klay Thompson, but I don't think you're gonna
- 38:45Speaker 3: need them tonight. If anything, if you want to get
- 38:47Speaker 3: some bets in on those guys are three point Ladder,
- 38:49Speaker 3: I think that'll makes some sense tonight. Boston is one
- 38:52Speaker 3: of the biggest three point finals in the NBA.
- 38:55Speaker 2: Flag or Lebron is a contrarian spend.
- 38:58Speaker 3: I like Flag better than Lebron tonight. I like it.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Did you mention anything about Derek White or Prichard?
- 39:05Speaker 2: Uh?
- 39:05Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean their their minutes are a lot more
- 39:07Speaker 3: secure now that they don't have Simons. I just think
- 39:09Speaker 3: that comparing the comparing those guys to Collier, who's cheaper.
- 39:13Speaker 3: I'd much rather play Collier.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense, more likely to probably play Derek
- 39:18Speaker 2: White with the shooting guard eligibility as well.
- 39:20Speaker 3: But yeah, obviously a lot of pacers and stuff have that.
- 39:24Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what else? Get So Giannis went from plus
- 39:27Speaker 2: forty five hundred of the bulls on Sunday to plus
- 39:29Speaker 2: two to seventy five at one book and then plus
- 39:32Speaker 2: four fifty at another.
- 39:33Speaker 3: So wow, that's what I saw.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know where that inside in
- 39:37Speaker 2: for whatever came, but I think those odds have sense corrected.
- 39:41Speaker 2: All right, We'll keep it rolling. Two games left on
- 39:43Speaker 2: the late definitely an important one with injury news, Orlando
- 39:46Speaker 2: Magic and the OKC Thunder. OKAC nine to alf point
- 39:51Speaker 2: favorites two twenty and a half total in this one.
- 39:53Speaker 2: No injuries on the Orlando News to note the s
- 39:55Speaker 2: SO without Franz, Yeah, very important. Okay, see though, so
- 39:59Speaker 2: Caruso is upgrade from doubtful to questionable. And then we
- 40:02Speaker 2: have Jalen Williams, like I m because the other Jalen's
- 40:06Speaker 2: already out with Jalen Williams, Hartenstein, Chet and SGA all questionable.
- 40:12Speaker 2: So how are you gonna, like, do you have any
- 40:14Speaker 2: Lians on this? But if you don't have any Leans,
- 40:16Speaker 2: how are you really gonna do this? And your MME
- 40:20Speaker 2: builds and stuff? Because I mean, like, if we knew
- 40:24Speaker 2: all of them and stuff, we're out. I guess my
- 40:25Speaker 2: question would be, how would like Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe
- 40:28Speaker 2: Kenrich Williams, how would they compare to some of the
- 40:31Speaker 2: Pacers value? But it's really hard to plug that in
- 40:34Speaker 2: if we don't have the news before seven eastern, because
- 40:37Speaker 2: I mean, you're pretty much drawing Stone dead if these
- 40:39Speaker 2: guys do play, because there's not even pivots in the
- 40:43Speaker 2: other games that are even close to as strong as
- 40:44Speaker 2: Pacers stuff, So I struggle to play those guys as much.
- 40:49Speaker 2: Mainly the questions like the SGA's the chets of the world,
- 40:52Speaker 2: but yeah, take it away, Okay, S side's tough.
- 40:55Speaker 3: Well, with Vusha getting traded, you do have some outs,
- 40:58Speaker 3: and I think Milwaukee is gonna get a little bit
- 40:59Speaker 3: of ownership as well, so you do have some opportunity
- 41:02Speaker 3: to pivot. And then also if you get some guys,
- 41:05Speaker 3: like if you get Jalen Brown and Cooper Flag in
- 41:08Speaker 3: that Boston Dallas game, then it gives you a little
- 41:10Speaker 3: bit of opportunity.
- 41:11Speaker 2: Although fans like you could play SGA in that But
- 41:14Speaker 2: are you saying you're fine playing like Joe and Aaron
- 41:17Speaker 2: Wagans and stuff, and you think there's there's enough pivots
- 41:20Speaker 2: that way.
- 41:22Speaker 3: Yes, potentially if you you you need multiple pieces obviously,
- 41:26Speaker 3: because you don't want to be left with like dropping
- 41:28Speaker 3: from Jalen Smith down to like Kennich Williams leaving like
- 41:32Speaker 3: thirteen hundred dollars or whatever it would be. So I
- 41:35Speaker 3: think you'd want multiple, multiple pivots if you're okay, but
- 41:39Speaker 3: playing some of.
- 41:40Speaker 2: These guys case In's Wagons Dorts, you plan on bumping
- 41:43Speaker 2: these guys a little bit and forcing some in because
- 41:45Speaker 2: you're not going to get any if you don't do that,
- 41:47Speaker 2: I don't.
- 41:48Speaker 3: Think I will. Okay, still almost favored by double digits,
- 41:52Speaker 3: so probably getting multiple these guys in. Like if I
- 41:56Speaker 3: knew before the slate started that the front court guys
- 42:00Speaker 3: are going to be out, then I would have a
- 42:01Speaker 3: little bit of interest in like the Uzman Jangs and
- 42:03Speaker 3: the Brandon Carlson's. But yeah, I don't, I don't. I
- 42:08Speaker 3: don't expect these guys to sit. They do have a
- 42:10Speaker 3: pretty big game tomorrow, They're playing the Spurs, so that's
- 42:13Speaker 3: kind of the only thing that has to be a
- 42:15Speaker 3: little bit worried that we might get some outtaggs. But yeah,
- 42:18Speaker 3: I just don't know. If you're do you think that
- 42:19Speaker 3: you'd get paid off enough by getting the okay, see
- 42:22Speaker 3: value right, Like the guys you would want be Wiggins,
- 42:25Speaker 3: probably a little bit like Cason Wallace would be a guy.
- 42:27Speaker 3: But I still think that those are two main rotation
- 42:30Speaker 3: pieces that they'd want for tomorrow's games. So I don't
- 42:32Speaker 3: really know. I don't really know how to approach this
- 42:35Speaker 3: because I just think that it could go draw Yeah exactly,
- 42:40Speaker 3: you'd be drawn dead if you if you invested heavily
- 42:43Speaker 3: into it.
- 42:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think the risk reward is enough, Like
- 42:46Speaker 2: you need you need SGA and chat to be out
- 42:51Speaker 2: and probably like a carew so like you need them
- 42:53Speaker 2: to be really thin and even so I mean that
- 42:56Speaker 2: ownership versus the Pacers, they'd look they'd be way better
- 42:59Speaker 2: because they're a lot lower own but like in a vacuum,
- 43:02Speaker 2: just projection wise, I don't think they're really getting getting
- 43:05Speaker 2: up there. So I really hard for me to do that.
- 43:08Speaker 2: Like you said, nine and a half point spread for
- 43:11Speaker 2: the for the OKC Thunder, it feels like at least
- 43:14Speaker 2: most of these guys are playing and a really low
- 43:17Speaker 2: total as well. I mean, Pacers were talking about they
- 43:19Speaker 2: get the nut matchup against the Jazz on top of
- 43:22Speaker 2: eight players. Orlando's not a team you love picking on. Yeah,
- 43:25Speaker 2: it's gonna be a slow pace game. Yeah, do the
- 43:27Speaker 2: pace score eighty. They're implied for one to sixteen, So yeah,
- 43:30Speaker 2: I mean they're probably going to be doing that.
- 43:32Speaker 3: There will not be a lot of defense being played
- 43:34Speaker 3: in that game.
- 43:35Speaker 2: No, big Marlo, you're in for a treat track.
- 43:37Speaker 3: Meet, Yeah, I think, I mean, yeah, I'm expecting these
- 43:42Speaker 3: guys to be in. I don't really see anything that
- 43:45Speaker 3: I need to play like. I think Shay is obviously
- 43:48Speaker 3: pretty good. He's gonna go up against Jeland Sugs, but
- 43:50Speaker 3: not really anything. I'm too scared off of the magic
- 43:53Speaker 3: or one of the worst pick and roll defenses in
- 43:55Speaker 3: the NBA. She's done pretty good against Shaye or against
- 43:59Speaker 3: Suggs and their career head to head matchups, averaging thirty
- 44:02Speaker 3: seven point six per seventy five possessions, seventy five percent
- 44:05Speaker 3: true shooting, so very efficient numbers for him. So I
- 44:07Speaker 3: think Shay is definitely in play, but that's probably it
- 44:10Speaker 3: for me. On the Orlando side, definitely think that you
- 44:14Speaker 3: can get more into them, even though the matchup is tough.
- 44:16Speaker 3: These guys are just playing so many minutes right now.
- 44:19Speaker 3: Over the last four games, Paulo is averaging thirty eight
- 44:21Speaker 3: and a half minutes, Bain's at thirty seven point four,
- 44:24Speaker 3: thirty six point eight for Black, and then we just
- 44:26Speaker 3: saw Jiln Suggs kind of get unleashed over the last
- 44:28Speaker 3: two games, thirty three and thirty two minutes in his
- 44:30Speaker 3: last two games. So I definitely have interest in all four.
- 44:33Speaker 3: I think Suggs is the best and maybe even a
- 44:36Speaker 3: pivot off of Isaiah Collier in the same price range.
- 44:39Speaker 3: Definitely think that Collier is going to project much better,
- 44:42Speaker 3: but he'll be much higher on like you're getting. I
- 44:45Speaker 3: see Suggs right now project for like twenty percent. That's
- 44:47Speaker 3: going to come way down and Caller is going to
- 44:49Speaker 3: go way up. So there's a little bit of leverage
- 44:50Speaker 3: that we had there. So I don't mind Suggs at all.
- 44:53Speaker 3: I think that he's decent and it's a pretty good
- 44:55Speaker 3: spot for the three point shooters, so like main solid matchup.
- 44:58Speaker 3: But even with him scoring a ton of points, he's
- 45:01Speaker 3: not doing anything else. Like he went for what like
- 45:03Speaker 3: thirty something points the other night and couldn't even touch
- 45:06Speaker 3: forty what was it, Yeah, thirty two against Toronto, seven
- 45:12Speaker 3: for ten from deep and then had thirty eight point
- 45:14Speaker 3: seventy five DK points. So that's just not going to
- 45:16Speaker 3: cut it on to night's slates. So I'm cool if
- 45:20Speaker 3: I just have Max one of Orlando and probably Max
- 45:23Speaker 3: one of ok See tonight. I agree.
- 45:25Speaker 2: I mean they're playing a bunch of manuaces Orlando, but
- 45:28Speaker 2: it's so concentrated even without Franz, Like Anthony Blacks took
- 45:31Speaker 2: such a big step, so now he eats into the
- 45:33Speaker 2: Polos in the sides of the world and Baines there.
- 45:36Speaker 2: It just feels pretty difficult for me. I mean I
- 45:40Speaker 2: talked about it earlier, like these guys have upside and
- 45:43Speaker 2: they're gonna be really low owned, and you're gonna probably
- 45:45Speaker 2: play a lot of chalk. So I don't hate getting there,
- 45:47Speaker 2: but I definitely like your rule, Max One. I wouldn't
- 45:50Speaker 2: want to Orlando. Guys on my team would still be
- 45:52Speaker 2: pretty tough for me to click any of them in
- 45:54Speaker 2: single entry. I'd rather click MPJ or Cooper Flake is
- 45:58Speaker 2: a way to get different on the slates, then I
- 46:00Speaker 2: would do that, all right, Last game of the night Chicago,
- 46:04Speaker 2: or actually, I take that back, there's two later games
- 46:06Speaker 2: two hours later, not on the fandle or the DraftKings slates,
- 46:10Speaker 2: or Man Little Neck will have NBA showdown. He will
- 46:13Speaker 2: have a slate plan up for the Lake game. He's
- 46:15Speaker 2: absolutely been crushing and saw plenty of screen shots when
- 46:17Speaker 2: I woke up this morning. So shout out to our
- 46:19Speaker 2: man Little Neck. Chicago Bulls and the Milwaukee Bucks one
- 46:24Speaker 2: half point favorites of the Bulls two twenty one and
- 46:26Speaker 2: a half total in this one on the Chicago side.
- 46:30Speaker 2: No Giddy, no Vooch, no Kevin Herder, and then we
- 46:34Speaker 2: have Jalen Smith and Julian Phillips questionable. On the Milwaukee side,
- 46:38Speaker 2: we have no Gary Harris and Bobby Portis is questionable. Yeah,
- 46:44Speaker 2: I guess you can start on the Bull side. I
- 46:45Speaker 2: think that's maybe a little more interesting, but maybe not.
- 46:48Speaker 2: I guess what happens with Bobby is pretty important. But
- 46:52Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not backloading this first game is so good.
- 46:55Speaker 2: I'm not really sure that way. I think Ryan Rollins
- 46:58Speaker 2: eighty seven hundred is expensive, better price on Fando, will
- 47:01Speaker 2: be more popular. But I mean, we have all the
- 47:03Speaker 2: money in the world, so you can overspend if you want.
- 47:06Speaker 2: But yeah, you showed a little interest in this game earlier,
- 47:09Speaker 2: so break it down.
- 47:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think you definitely have to have
- 47:13Speaker 3: some interest in the Bulls now that they're going to
- 47:15Speaker 3: be so much more thin, especially in the front court.
- 47:18Speaker 3: Jalen Smith, like you said, is questionable if he were
- 47:21Speaker 3: to miss. I think he plays to night. But if
- 47:22Speaker 3: you were to miss, then we're talking about thirty one hundred.
- 47:26Speaker 3: Lachlan Ouldbrick. I don't really know much about this guy.
- 47:29Speaker 3: I've seen him appear in a few games, but he's
- 47:32Speaker 3: thirty one hundred. He's going to have to play a
- 47:33Speaker 3: good bit. It would be him and Patrick Williams manning
- 47:36Speaker 3: most of the sentimentutes. Then they'd have to run pretty small,
- 47:38Speaker 3: probably some small ball matas buzzellis in there as well.
- 47:42Speaker 3: But yeah, I definitely think it's a good spot for
- 47:44Speaker 3: them to attack the Bucks. They've been really bad on
- 47:48Speaker 3: defense over the last week. I mean awful, actually bottom
- 47:52Speaker 3: three in defense over the last two weeks. They're a
- 47:54Speaker 3: huge three point funnel over that stretch. Bulls are a
- 47:56Speaker 3: team that you still want to attack around the basket.
- 47:58Speaker 3: Got to imagine the get worse now losing some size
- 48:02Speaker 3: with Vouch out there. But yeah, I mean the injuries
- 48:05Speaker 3: in the trades really piling up for Chicago, So I
- 48:07Speaker 3: think you have to have interest. For me. It's gonna
- 48:10Speaker 3: be Jalen Smith and Io as the two guys I
- 48:11Speaker 3: have the most interest in. At six point four and
- 48:13Speaker 3: six point one k. We've seen Io really been unleashed
- 48:16Speaker 3: for a minute ceiling thirty seven two games ago against
- 48:19Speaker 3: Miami went for fifty seven and a half DK points.
- 48:22Speaker 3: Good match for him to get some three point shots
- 48:23Speaker 3: up as well, and Initially when I wrote this game up,
- 48:26Speaker 3: I was it was before the stuff happened, because that
- 48:30Speaker 3: happened like right before we got on. But yeah, I
- 48:32Speaker 3: think Jalen Smith is pretty solid. I imagine if he's
- 48:35Speaker 3: in playing a good bit, and we know that he's
- 48:38Speaker 3: been a very solid permanent producer at times. The season
- 48:40Speaker 3: shown a pretty high minute ceiling as well, so I
- 48:43Speaker 3: think that he's kind of a guy you have to
- 48:44Speaker 3: have interest in here for sure. Not too into Kobe
- 48:48Speaker 3: White seven point one k I think he's still somewhat limited,
- 48:51Speaker 3: another guy that is probably or potentially getting moved at
- 48:55Speaker 3: the deadline, so I don't think that they want to
- 48:58Speaker 3: play him like thirty six tonight. They also have more
- 49:01Speaker 3: depth at the guard spot than they normally do, like
- 49:05Speaker 3: Isaac Korro is gonna mix in Dalan Terry and then
- 49:07Speaker 3: even Yuki Kawamura got in their last game, so they
- 49:10Speaker 3: have a little bit of guard depth. I probably won't
- 49:11Speaker 3: go to Kobe why, but I think Matas is pretty
- 49:13Speaker 3: good here, much less benching risks for him than we've
- 49:17Speaker 3: seen before with you know, Herder and Vouch Gone. He's
- 49:22Speaker 3: was kind of losing minutes of Hurder at times this season,
- 49:24Speaker 3: they were kind of checking in for each other. But
- 49:26Speaker 3: I think now with Hurder gone probably getting thirty six
- 49:30Speaker 3: from Matas, Yeah.
- 49:33Speaker 2: It might miss like is that a real cue take too,
- 49:35Speaker 2: because he would only get even a bigger bump if
- 49:38Speaker 2: that's the case.
- 49:39Speaker 3: I mean, it just says right, calf cramping. So I
- 49:42Speaker 3: don't know how how real that injury tag is. They've
- 49:45Speaker 3: been off for he hasn't played in it's been like
- 49:49Speaker 3: four or five days, so he should be. I feel
- 49:51Speaker 3: like you should be back, but yeah, I don't know.
- 49:54Speaker 2: Would you leave or make sure you have three hundred
- 49:56Speaker 2: in flexibility if you are playing Jalen Smith to just
- 49:59Speaker 2: do that one v one pivot right to Matas or.
- 50:03Speaker 3: You could just start with a lot of Matas and
- 50:06Speaker 3: and pivot down same position eligibility if you have them
- 50:09Speaker 3: both at power forward or forward. Yeah, but then you
- 50:12Speaker 3: like who do you like more? Straight up?
- 50:13Speaker 2: Assuming they both play It sounded like Jalen Smith first. Yeah,
- 50:16Speaker 2: I do like Jalen Smith a little bit more. I
- 50:17Speaker 2: think he's got better permanent upside now with now that
- 50:20Speaker 2: he'll be the starting center, assuming that he is starting. See,
- 50:23Speaker 2: I think I do like Jalen Smith a little bit
- 50:25Speaker 2: more okay, And yeah, I mean you just said like
- 50:28Speaker 2: thirty six minutes again when Rio's talking, I'm looking at
- 50:30Speaker 2: these are the projected minutes for Sabor sim if it's
- 50:33Speaker 2: like five minutes that Rio thinks is underprojected four to three.
- 50:37Speaker 2: As a fantasy point per minute guy one point one
- 50:40Speaker 2: to three, Like you bump this projection up to thirty
- 50:43Speaker 2: seven point seven or something random, you can show.
- 50:45Speaker 3: He looks a lot lot better there.
- 50:47Speaker 2: So little things like that I like to to look
- 50:49Speaker 2: at and keep in mind on Rio's talking.
- 50:51Speaker 3: Keep it wrong. I think that kind of covers it.
- 50:54Speaker 3: Like Patrick Williams is a guy that you should probably
- 50:57Speaker 3: consider now at three point seven k if anything to
- 51:00Speaker 3: allow you to kind of get off of some of
- 51:01Speaker 3: that indie chalk, because, like I said, the Indy has
- 51:05Speaker 3: a little bit of depth. I mean, they have more
- 51:08Speaker 3: depth than than Chicago and the Jazz do, so they can.
- 51:12Speaker 3: I don't think we're like guaranteed a ton of minutes
- 51:14Speaker 3: from the front core guys, but Patrick Williams is gonna
- 51:16Speaker 3: play to nine, especially if Jaen Smith were to miss,
- 51:18Speaker 3: He's got to play thirty plus. I would imagine they
- 51:21Speaker 3: don't really have any any front core guys like he's
- 51:24Speaker 3: gonna either start at center or play play the backup
- 51:28Speaker 3: center minutes. I think I would definitely have a little
- 51:30Speaker 3: bit of interest in him, and I think that that
- 51:32Speaker 3: is it. Like Old Brick is a guy i'd want
- 51:34Speaker 3: some of if I knew that Jena Smith were to
- 51:36Speaker 3: be out, But I just don't know that's going to
- 51:38Speaker 3: be the case tonight, so I'm probably not gonna get
- 51:40Speaker 3: too much of him. I also don't think that he
- 51:42Speaker 3: pays off enough for you to really gain a ton
- 51:45Speaker 3: of leverage by waiting for him. I did a really
- 51:47Speaker 3: have a really good game last time he saw minutes,
- 51:50Speaker 3: which was two days ago, twenty points against Miami in
- 51:53Speaker 3: just eleven minutes, So decent permanent upside As for the
- 51:58Speaker 3: Milwaukee stuff, I'm not as excited. I don't know where
- 52:02Speaker 3: the ownership is going to land now with all the
- 52:04Speaker 3: all the changes to the slate, but I think we're
- 52:07Speaker 3: probably hot. Yeah, it's got to come down a good
- 52:10Speaker 3: bit either way. I don't I don't really like Rawlins
- 52:13Speaker 3: or Bobby Portis at these price tags like we've seen
- 52:16Speaker 3: Rawlins have really really high ceiling before. But I don't
- 52:22Speaker 3: know if he's going to do it tonight like he
- 52:24Speaker 3: definitely could. He's playing a ton of minutes of role
- 52:26Speaker 3: has been strong, like what we would expect, but Kuzma
- 52:28Speaker 3: has kind of had, like borderline the same role as him,
- 52:31Speaker 3: and he's two k cheaper with better position eligibilities. I
- 52:35Speaker 3: kind of prefer Kuzma if I'm choosing between one of
- 52:37Speaker 3: the two, and I also prefer Myles Turner over Bobby
- 52:40Speaker 3: Portis if Bobby Portus were to be in. I liked
- 52:44Speaker 3: it a lot more with Vouch in for the matchup
- 52:46Speaker 3: for Miles Turner because vouch is a guy that's gonna
- 52:48Speaker 3: be scoring around the basket, so the block are opportunities
- 52:51Speaker 3: we're going to be there, and Boochs just doesn't really
- 52:53Speaker 3: come out to the three point lines. I think that
- 52:55Speaker 3: there was some good scoring opportunity for Miles Turner, but
- 52:58Speaker 3: it does change a little bit with him out, but
- 53:00Speaker 3: you're also going up against a much younger and less
- 53:03Speaker 3: experienced teams. I think that there's still is pretty good
- 53:06Speaker 3: upside for Miles Turner. So if I'm choosing these Bucks guys,
- 53:09Speaker 3: it's gonna be Turner and Kuzma For me, A little
- 53:12Speaker 3: bit less interested in Rowins and Bobby ports personally.
- 53:15Speaker 2: All right, Uh, and do you have any lean on
- 53:17Speaker 2: the portos q TA because I mean, Turner and Kuzma,
- 53:21Speaker 2: like the ownership won't really change because it's the last game,
- 53:24Speaker 2: assuming we don't really get the news prior to the
- 53:28Speaker 2: start of the Pacers game.
- 53:29Speaker 3: So do you have any lean there?
- 53:31Speaker 2: Obviously Kusma and Turner are fine, but I think I
- 53:34Speaker 2: think you should probably manually bump them or would be
- 53:36Speaker 2: something something you should consider if you do think that
- 53:39Speaker 2: portus q take is a real que take.
- 53:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really have a lean. I mean, he
- 53:43Speaker 3: played thirty seven minutes two games ago and it's a contusion,
- 53:46Speaker 3: so it's not like a soft tissue thing, so I
- 53:48Speaker 3: would think that he plays. But he could be on
- 53:50Speaker 3: the block too. I mean he has been for years,
- 53:53Speaker 3: oh for sure.
- 53:54Speaker 2: Under percent, So I mean maybe the Bucks just get
- 53:57Speaker 2: him the day off and wait and hear more stuff.
- 54:00Speaker 3: So yeah, people were kind of thrown out trade ideas
- 54:04Speaker 3: with him paired with the honest I think kind of
- 54:06Speaker 3: makes sense from like a salary standpoint, for sure. I
- 54:09Speaker 3: think that's what.
- 54:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's probably how if he does get dished.
- 54:12Speaker 2: I think that's how it would be with the honest.
- 54:15Speaker 3: Morto did mention that Io. I think they're talking about
- 54:19Speaker 3: Io in the chat, But yeah, they have a couple
- 54:20Speaker 3: of guys that are probably gonna get moved to so
- 54:23Speaker 3: the bulls are so I would definitely be a little
- 54:27Speaker 3: like if you see a midday downgrade on a guy
- 54:29Speaker 3: like Kobe or Io, they're probably getting traded. Yep. Also,
- 54:33Speaker 3: I wanted to circle back. Sorry before I go ahead,
- 54:35Speaker 3: I'll circle back.
- 54:36Speaker 2: No, no, no, mine was go ahead. Mine wasn't important.
- 54:39Speaker 3: I was just talking about the Nurkic stuff because he's
- 54:41Speaker 3: also been linked to some trades as well. There was
- 54:44Speaker 3: a trade or a report that came out basically like
- 54:47Speaker 3: right after the Jared Jackson trade. They said that the
- 54:50Speaker 3: Jazz are not done and Nurkic has a pretty big
- 54:52Speaker 3: salary that they would probably like to dump. He's also
- 54:55Speaker 3: been playing really well. There's teams that need a center,
- 54:58Speaker 3: like the Hornets were a team that's kind of on
- 55:01Speaker 3: the trademarket for one. So I wouldn't be surprised if
- 55:04Speaker 3: Nurkic does get maybe he's probably not playing like a
- 55:07Speaker 3: ton just if they do plan on training him.
- 55:10Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked a little bit about in chat, like
- 55:12Speaker 2: you need eight bodies or you need eight people to dress.
- 55:16Speaker 2: So I assume if he dresses, he probably plays with eight.
- 55:18Speaker 2: I would assume they'd call up a G league or
- 55:20Speaker 2: something or I don't know if Kevin Law is really
- 55:23Speaker 2: that ill. Maybe, but maybe he gets called up. He's
- 55:26Speaker 2: doubtful right now, so probably not. But I would struggle
- 55:29Speaker 2: clicking Nurkic's name at seven point seven k today even
- 55:32Speaker 2: though that they said he will play.
- 55:34Speaker 3: But that's a good shout.
- 55:35Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna say anything port, I was gonna ask
- 55:37Speaker 2: you about Kawa Mura your thoughts on him.
- 55:42Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, you probably need more more
- 55:45Speaker 3: guys to be out and like him starting.
- 55:46Speaker 2: I just no, no, no, not for dfs, just like
- 55:49Speaker 2: a real life, a real life past guy.
- 55:52Speaker 3: Yeah. I think he's he's fun to watch, like. I'm
- 55:55Speaker 3: not sure he's ever going to really make like a
- 55:56Speaker 3: big impact on an NBA team, but definitely cool story.
- 56:00Speaker 2: Who's the guy that I'm thinking of? My gosh, I
- 56:03Speaker 2: think it was on the Hornets.
- 56:06Speaker 4: Uh no, no, no, they had a little dude that
- 56:12Speaker 4: I mean, he was just a pest as well, a
- 56:14Speaker 4: little short dude just pressed he was all kind of.
- 56:16Speaker 3: Like an Alvarado.
- 56:17Speaker 2: But I can't I'm blanking on the the international guy
- 56:20Speaker 2: that that it was.
- 56:22Speaker 3: Damn he's I could picture him.
- 56:25Speaker 2: I mean, he was played pretty well in the Olympics
- 56:27Speaker 2: for whatever team he had. But I can't, I'm blanking
- 56:30Speaker 2: on the name.
- 56:31Speaker 3: I'm sure somebody knows that he was a guy that
- 56:33Speaker 3: we were playing a lot too. It was like the
- 56:37Speaker 3: last two years. It might have been last year.
- 56:39Speaker 2: Honestly, I know we definitely played him a little bit
- 56:41Speaker 2: for sure. Just the pest just always was in in
- 56:44Speaker 2: your girl, always was doing something annoying the other team.
- 56:48Speaker 2: What a name that JJ Bray. I haven't heard that
- 56:50Speaker 2: he was a hooper. Yeah that's all I got for
- 56:55Speaker 2: the eight games. Yeah, there's two late games. Come on,
- 56:58Speaker 2: someone in chats got to help me though. We got
- 56:59Speaker 2: four and twenty watching. Yeah, we got two late games.
- 57:03Speaker 2: A night Slate, solid night Slate showdown with our man

- 57:32Speaker 2: a nation dot com, join the Nation and yeah real
- 57:35Speaker 2: helping me out. The best deal I think right now

- 57:42Speaker 2: fandueling DraftKings. Like always, we will have a show Hoop
- 57:46Speaker 2: Tamba myself more than likely probably Friday. Do not know

- 58:12Speaker 2: Yeah it was Composo, Yeah, yep.
- 58:14Speaker 3: I think it was Mitchy, it was Mitrich, it was
- 58:16Speaker 3: mich I thought, yeah, he was on the Hornets. Composite
- 58:21Speaker 3: was with the Nuggets.
- 58:23Speaker 2: I was thinking of Composo though I got the team wrong.
- 58:25Speaker 2: I got the team wrong. It was Composo for sure. Yep,
- 58:28Speaker 2: that's one hundred percent. While I was thinking of yep,
- 58:30Speaker 2: that's thank you, Miches was the guy because I typed
- 58:33Speaker 2: in Hornets at first and I saw Mitch's name, but
- 58:35Speaker 2: I'm like, that's not it. I was thinking of of
- 58:38Speaker 2: Denver and Composo. Thank you, fellas real. Any final thoughts
- 58:42Speaker 2: before we get on out here.
- 58:44Speaker 3: No, yeah, just I think this is a say you
- 58:46Speaker 3: got to you gotta be around like the next couple
- 58:49Speaker 3: hours because I think there the trade deadline stuff is
- 58:51Speaker 3: going to heat up even more. So Yeah, definitely just
- 58:54Speaker 3: keep an eye on that. But right now, obviously Indian
- 58:56Speaker 3: pacers are Indian. You saw the decision point on the slate.
- 59:01Speaker 2: And I did not think that will change. I mean,
- 59:02Speaker 2: we definitely probably are going to get more news. Stay
- 59:04Speaker 2: around for your computer, but that game will not be
- 59:07Speaker 2: ignored regardless of what we see.
