- 0:41Speaker 2: we are a little early today. Had to move up
- 0:43Speaker 2: the show because I got something going on after this.
- 0:46Speaker 2: But hey, if there was ever a slate to move up,
- 0:48Speaker 2: pretty easy. Four games slate, not too much injury news,
- 0:51Speaker 2: so I don't expect many changes from the usual or
- 0:54Speaker 2: that we'll get from the usual start time here. Oh
- 0:56Speaker 2: he asked his life button. Subscribe button helps us out
- 0:59Speaker 2: a ton, my guy, Matt, I'm in for him today. Matt,
- 1:02Speaker 2: how we doing good Man?
- 1:04Speaker 3: Better now that I'm here with you talking some hoops?
- 1:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I just got off the NFL show. Definitely pumped
- 1:09Speaker 2: for this four gamer for some week in football Monday.
- 1:12Speaker 2: We got the National Championship. A lot of fun football ahead,
- 1:16Speaker 2: but hey, NBA doesn't rest even on the weekends. Prizes
- 1:19Speaker 2: are good, four solid games. What I like to see
- 1:22Speaker 2: most is two at seven, two at seven thirty. Then
- 1:26Speaker 2: you can call it a night if you don't want
- 1:27Speaker 2: to do showdown or the night slate and you're busy,
- 1:30Speaker 2: sure if you do. Shout out to our man Little Neck.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Shout out to Trisket as well. I saw them talking
- 1:34Speaker 2: to my little Kobe action yesterday as a punt NBA
- 1:37Speaker 2: Showdown slate plan. Many had a lot of success in
- 1:40Speaker 2: the showdown streets. Awesome work by little neck Mike he
- 1:44Speaker 2: has done all year. Tris Get had a little nugget
- 1:46Speaker 2: in there. But yeah, if you're playing MAINSLT like we're
- 1:49Speaker 2: talking just four games thirty minute lock time, go about
- 1:52Speaker 2: your Friday night and have some fun. Any broad slate
- 1:55Speaker 2: for you or anything before we go game by game?
- 1:57Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple things. So one like, I love sprint slates,
- 2:00Speaker 3: Sprint slates like this where all the games start within
- 2:03Speaker 3: like a half hour of each other, and we already
- 2:07Speaker 3: got like the big injury news we were waiting for
- 2:09Speaker 3: as far as you know Kawhi and Emanuel quickly, so
- 2:13Speaker 3: there isn't that much we're waiting on, which is nice
- 2:16Speaker 3: for two thirty Eastern for an NBA slate. Obviously things
- 2:20Speaker 3: can pop about of nowhere, and there are a couple
- 2:22Speaker 3: questionable guys, but for the most part, we should be
- 2:24Speaker 3: able to break this down without much changing in the
- 2:27Speaker 3: next few hours, which is nice. And then as far
- 2:30Speaker 3: as just like this time of year, yeah, man, like
- 2:32Speaker 3: I'm a true seam head, so I love baseball the most,
- 2:35Speaker 3: but if you're not a seam head like me, this
- 2:37Speaker 3: has got to be one of the best times of
- 2:38Speaker 3: the year for sports with the National Championship Game, NFL playoffs,
- 2:43Speaker 3: which is just amazing, and then the NBA in full
- 2:45Speaker 3: swing college basketball heating up. Also great time of year
- 2:48Speaker 3: for sports.
- 2:49Speaker 2: One hundred percent. Not many I would say out there,
- 2:52Speaker 2: like you, as as a baseball guy, we have to
- 2:55Speaker 2: gree to dine gree it is g risen. I definitely
- 2:59Speaker 2: do a baseball I mean I've play them all, I
- 3:02Speaker 2: watch them all, I do all that, but the one
- 3:03Speaker 2: I watched lease, for sure, it's MLB during the regular season,
- 3:06Speaker 2: but once it gets playoff time and every pitch matters
- 3:09Speaker 2: and you can feel that intensity, that's a whole different ballgame.
- 3:12Speaker 2: I compare like we talk about flagship versus high dollars.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Single entry has two different games, regular season baseball and
- 3:18Speaker 2: playoff baseball. Two different games for sure.
- 3:21Speaker 3: Yeah, one thousand percent. Yeah, man, I'm excited to break
- 3:25Speaker 3: this slate down again. I love when we have all
- 3:28Speaker 3: these games starting within a half hour of each other.
- 3:30Speaker 3: And then yeah, as you mentioned, like there's a night
- 3:32Speaker 3: slate to play or if you're not about that life.
- 3:34Speaker 3: You can call it a night early.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I'm excited. Good to see you, Jake, go
- 3:39Speaker 2: collect Yeah, Ricky, even though I got the Dodgers head on,
- 3:42Speaker 2: there's no fandom there. That's just a match with my
- 3:45Speaker 2: sweatshirt and I grabbed it. So yeah, Kyle Tucker to
- 3:49Speaker 2: the Dodgers. I hope they do not win, But if
- 3:53Speaker 2: they do win, I hope we see something like last
- 3:54Speaker 2: year with pa has making an insane catch. I mean
- 3:57Speaker 2: it was Rojas. It was all the guys not getting
- 3:59Speaker 2: paid all the money that helped him win it. That's
- 4:02Speaker 2: the beauty of baseball. You do need all nine guys
- 4:04Speaker 2: on the field working as one. But all right, I said,
- 4:07Speaker 2: we talked to Hoops. All we asked like bun subscribe
- 4:09Speaker 2: button helps us out a ton. And again, if you
- 4:11Speaker 2: do want to join us at the Nation, we do
- 4:13Speaker 2: have daily passes, but I couldn't imagine clicking anything but
- 4:15Speaker 2: the five days for nineteen dollars if you want to
- 4:18Speaker 2: try us out, because that gets you NFL tomorrow, the
- 4:21Speaker 2: next day gets you college football. The National Championship on
- 4:24Speaker 2: Monday obviously gets you a basketball all those days and
- 4:28Speaker 2: gets you some PGA showdowns. So yeah, it's the best
- 4:31Speaker 2: time of the year for sports in my opinion. All right,
- 4:34Speaker 2: first game of the nights, we have New Orleans Pelicans
- 4:37Speaker 2: and Indiana Pacers. Three and a half point favorites are
- 4:39Speaker 2: the Pacers two forty and a half total, which is
- 4:42Speaker 2: the biggest on the slate by a decent bit. Injury
- 4:44Speaker 2: report in this one Pelicans. No Herb Jones going to
- 4:48Speaker 2: the other side for the Pacers, really nothing, no Isaiah Jackson.
- 4:53Speaker 2: If we sort by ownership though, there's a good amount
- 4:55Speaker 2: of ownership coming to this first game. Actually, let me
- 4:59Speaker 2: just look quick to see if quickly Okay, so projections
- 5:04Speaker 2: still in not ownership Kawhi is zero and zero. Yeah,
- 5:08Speaker 2: I do expect a good amount of ownership to go
- 5:10Speaker 2: to this game regardless though the highest over under if
- 5:13Speaker 2: Jay Hoff does start at center again power forward center eligibility,
- 5:16Speaker 2: which is nice. You have Nie Smith, Nemhard. A lot
- 5:20Speaker 2: of these guys aren't breaking the bank. And in terms
- 5:22Speaker 2: of like stars and scrubs, I mean, we can't even
- 5:24Speaker 2: spend on this slate. No one above ten K. So
- 5:27Speaker 2: I do think people, I mean you're forced into a
- 5:29Speaker 2: middling build. But the Nemhard's the seaakams a little easier
- 5:32Speaker 2: to click on these shorter slates. So what are you
- 5:34Speaker 2: seen in this one?
- 5:35Speaker 3: Yeah, totally at least as of earlier this morning. And
- 5:38Speaker 3: I know the projection systems are like just catching up
- 5:41Speaker 3: with this stuff. You know, this game, especially the Indiana side,
- 5:44Speaker 3: is projected to be the highest owned team on the slate.
- 5:47Speaker 3: I mean big ownership. Now, when I said big ownership,
- 5:51Speaker 3: what a nice thing about this slate is ownership is
- 5:53Speaker 3: pretty spread out, so like you're not seeing anyone at
- 5:56Speaker 3: least as of now. That might change after the quickly
- 5:59Speaker 3: and news, you know, garnering that like eighty ninety percent
- 6:03Speaker 3: ownership we've seen on a bunch of slates recently. Honestly,
- 6:06Speaker 3: you might Jamal shed is expensive enough now or I
- 6:09Speaker 3: don't even think he gets there. But as far as
- 6:11Speaker 3: the Indiana side goes, like putting that stuff to the
- 6:14Speaker 3: side for now, they look good here. I mean, this
- 6:16Speaker 3: is a great spot. And as you mentioned, this isn't
- 6:19Speaker 3: really a slate where we have spend up options to
- 6:22Speaker 3: pick from. We don't really have any at all. As
- 6:24Speaker 3: you mentioned, the most expensive guy is ten k, So
- 6:27Speaker 3: Nemhard looks really good. Here he's projected for a ton
- 6:30Speaker 3: of ownership, but I have no arguments with it. Siakam's
- 6:32Speaker 3: price tag is up still getting ownership. I get it
- 6:36Speaker 3: in this spot. I mean, this game is really really
- 6:38Speaker 3: appealing from a DFS perspective. I like all these guys.
- 6:41Speaker 3: Jay Huff had a monster second not a monster, but
- 6:44Speaker 3: a big second half after he threw up like a
- 6:45Speaker 3: zero in its first run last time out. He looks
- 6:48Speaker 3: pretty good at forty six hundred. I think those four
- 6:51Speaker 3: main guys Nemhard, Siakam, Nie Smith, and Huff all look
- 6:55Speaker 3: really really good. I think you can look at a TJ.
- 6:58Speaker 3: McConnell in a spot like this, maybe to get off
- 7:01Speaker 3: one of the chalkier guys. I think Jars Walker has
- 7:04Speaker 3: a role on this slate. At thirty eight hundred, there's
- 7:07Speaker 3: a lot to like from Indiana. I don't think it's
- 7:09Speaker 3: a slate where I want five pacers because it's not
- 7:12Speaker 3: like these guys are uber cheap, but they all project
- 7:15Speaker 3: well for their price tags. They're in a great spot,
- 7:18Speaker 3: and even with the injury news like it doesn't open
- 7:21Speaker 3: up like a ton on the Clippers. You know we
- 7:24Speaker 3: already have had the quickly outlast game, so price tags
- 7:27Speaker 3: are up in Toronto, so Indiana looks overall like the
- 7:31Speaker 3: best team to target on the slate. I don't want
- 7:33Speaker 3: to go overboard with it, but I do think we
- 7:35Speaker 3: need and want some pacers exposure here.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Yeah, what about Like I love Trey Murphy on the
- 7:41Speaker 2: Pelican stuff, it's a little harder for me to get
- 7:44Speaker 2: to too much after that, like Zion seventy nine hundred.
- 7:47Speaker 2: I mean this thirty minutes, it's it's not really going
- 7:50Speaker 2: over thirty one to thirty two minutes unfortunately, which is
- 7:53Speaker 2: why I don't have as much interest there, but a
- 7:56Speaker 2: shooting card position that isn't too strong on the slate.
- 8:01Speaker 2: I think Trey Murphy as a spend is I mean,
- 8:03Speaker 2: you're getting thirty eight thirty seven minutes used to just solid.
- 8:06Speaker 2: He's been phenomenal as of late. I get like a runback,
- 8:10Speaker 2: so to speak, because I'm gonna be playing multiple pacers.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Any thoughts on Trey Murphy or any of these guys
- 8:16Speaker 2: on the Pelicans do you have an interest on?
- 8:18Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, so I didn't touch on them because I've
- 8:20Speaker 3: spent so long in Indiana. But as far as New
- 8:22Speaker 3: Orleans goes, it's interesting and you kind of mentioned it
- 8:25Speaker 3: with Zion that no matter where you look, Zion is
- 8:28Speaker 3: projected for either as much ownership or more ownership than
- 8:32Speaker 3: Trey Murphy. So in that instance, I would ravagate to Murphy,
- 8:36Speaker 3: who is clearly playing good ball right now. You know,
- 8:40Speaker 3: just in a zone has thrown up a bunch of
- 8:42Speaker 3: monster games and has passed like five six games, including
- 8:46Speaker 3: last game out where he threw up another six d
- 8:48Speaker 3: DK points. I guess my big deterrent, and I'll throw
- 8:52Speaker 3: this back to you because I know you're a big
- 8:54Speaker 3: projections guy as far as NBA goes, which you should
- 8:57Speaker 3: be Murphy projects for again, and depending on where you look,
- 9:01Speaker 3: either the same slightly less than Brandon Ingram, who's three
- 9:05Speaker 3: hundred dollars cheaper. How do you feel about those two?
- 9:07Speaker 3: Knowing that, knowing also that Ingram will garner more ownership.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I think on the shortest light, like we have
- 9:13Speaker 2: for four games, the more chalky a lot of things are, like,
- 9:16Speaker 2: that's one of my favorite pivots. I can totally wimp
- 9:19Speaker 2: be shocked one bit. It's to see Trey Murphy, oh,
- 9:22Speaker 2: Brandon Ingram. Whereas a lot of stuff like especially value
- 9:25Speaker 2: when you're trying to like find pivots off of the
- 9:27Speaker 2: chalky value. It's a lot harder for me to do so,
- 9:30Speaker 2: so I love it. Obviously you can play both together,
- 9:33Speaker 2: but I think Trey Murphy is one of the stronger
- 9:35Speaker 2: plays on the slate.
- 9:36Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with it, and I agree with you. And
- 9:38Speaker 3: it's not like you're giving up that much in projection,
- 9:40Speaker 3: whether it's like a point or half a point, So
- 9:42Speaker 3: I'm right there with you. Now. The other side of
- 9:44Speaker 3: that would be like it's not like it's not as
- 9:46Speaker 3: if Trey Murphy's gonna be unowned, but he will be
- 9:49Speaker 3: less owned than Ingram, and he will be probably less
- 9:51Speaker 3: owned than Zion because of the positionalities there. So yeah, man,
- 9:56Speaker 3: I do like the New Orleans side. It is a
- 9:58Speaker 3: little bit hard to get to that after really the
- 10:03Speaker 3: main three of Zion, Queen and Murphy, and I do
- 10:07Speaker 3: like Murphy the most. Zion's upside it just seems to
- 10:10Speaker 3: be capped right now with his minutes.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how I'm feeling. I mean, it is the
- 10:15Speaker 2: game environment you do want to like have some of. So, like,
- 10:19Speaker 2: I don't think Zion's a bad play, but he's coming
- 10:21Speaker 2: with ownership like he still might be twenty five thirty percent.
- 10:23Speaker 2: So it's definitely Trey Murphy as my preferred play there
- 10:26Speaker 2: in the Indiana or like I can play three Jay
- 10:29Speaker 2: Huff look's really strong, glad he has power forward eligibility.
- 10:32Speaker 2: Nemhard like we talked about Jaris Walker someone mentioned in chat, Yeah,
- 10:36Speaker 2: thirty eight hundred is a very solid price tag for him.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Minutes are down, but a solid fantasy point per minute producer.
- 10:42Speaker 2: And I'm still down playing TJ McConnell, Like, I wouldn't
- 10:45Speaker 2: make a rule necessarily Nemhart or him, but I do think.
- 10:49Speaker 2: I mean Nemhart's getting ownership. It is a pivot at
- 10:52Speaker 2: the same position. Again, the minutes aren't great for him,
- 10:56Speaker 2: but when he's on the court, fantasy point per minute
- 10:58Speaker 2: beast and with only it being a four games slate, like,
- 11:01Speaker 2: it's a pretty interesting pivot. Jamal Shed is definitely gonna
- 11:04Speaker 2: be chalky at the point guard position. Then you have
- 11:06Speaker 2: some them Hard McConnell could be half the ownership of Shed,
- 11:10Speaker 2: if not more, And yeah, similar price tag, but he
- 11:14Speaker 2: is a little cheaper that way. It's not like we're
- 11:15Speaker 2: leaving money on the slate as a one v one pivot.
- 11:18Speaker 2: I think Murphy on the Pelican side, and then McConnell
- 11:22Speaker 2: probably my most interesting piece at ownership in game theory
- 11:25Speaker 2: wise on the Pacers. But you can play three of
- 11:27Speaker 2: these guys easily.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. McConnell's really interesting here because I'm
- 11:33Speaker 3: totally down with all the points he made throwing Craig
- 11:36Speaker 3: Porter Junior as another point guard that's gonna get a
- 11:38Speaker 3: lot of ownership here for for valid reasoning, and all
- 11:41Speaker 3: of a sudden, McConnell's just going to be squeezed out.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Like again, I know he's projecting again depending on where
- 11:47Speaker 3: you look, between like fifteen and twenty five percent ownership.
- 11:50Speaker 3: But for me, like, I don't even think he's gonna
- 11:52Speaker 3: get there based on like all the other point guards
- 11:55Speaker 3: that are gonna get ownership. So as far as like
- 11:58Speaker 3: playing them hard and McConnell together, I think that that's
- 12:02Speaker 3: a really interesting game theory talk because certainly, like if
- 12:06Speaker 3: you're handbuilding a line, you're not gonna play those two together,
- 12:09Speaker 3: and they're each gonna like cannibalize each other, you know,
- 12:13Speaker 3: for for at least a little bit, because certainly they're
- 12:16Speaker 3: not gonna share the court all that much. And if
- 12:18Speaker 3: one is playing really well, it's gonna hurt the other,
- 12:20Speaker 3: et cetera. But what happens, especially on a small slate,
- 12:23Speaker 3: when you get a game that just goes forty points
- 12:25Speaker 3: higher than the total, or a game that goes to
- 12:27Speaker 3: overtime and both McConnell and them hard, or you get
- 12:30Speaker 3: an injury to someone else and they do have to
- 12:31Speaker 3: play more together. So like, I think this is the
- 12:34Speaker 3: type of slate where you can play both of them together.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. The shorter
- 12:39Speaker 2: the slate, the easier. It's only negative point zero five correlation.
- 12:42Speaker 2: I think the harder part for me is point guard
- 12:44Speaker 2: is pretty strong, where then I'm more likely to be
- 12:46Speaker 2: playing one at util and you can only play three
- 12:49Speaker 2: point guards. But yeah, and another one. Chris Dunn like
- 12:53Speaker 2: projection ownership's not clearly like he's shooting out elgible as well,
- 12:56Speaker 2: but no Kawhi is gonna boost him. So McConnell's definitely
- 12:59Speaker 2: gonna move walk back. It's that guy Djen like to say.
- 13:02Speaker 3: I guess the other thing about McConnell and them are together,
- 13:05Speaker 3: Like people will go out of their way not to
- 13:08Speaker 3: play them together. So I think you're gonna get ownership
- 13:11Speaker 3: on lineups with both of them together really really low,
- 13:15Speaker 3: which is intriguing if nothing else.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Yep, for sure, Yeah, great game to target again the
- 13:19Speaker 2: highest on the slates, and a close spread in that
- 13:22Speaker 2: one at only three and a half. But all four
- 13:24Speaker 2: of these games close spreads at three and a half,
- 13:26Speaker 2: two and a half, two and a half, one and
- 13:27Speaker 2: a half. So yeah, I should see some competitive games tonight.
- 13:31Speaker 2: But when we go through like like this Brooklyn Chicago,
- 13:34Speaker 2: it's had like two pieces. I really do not like
- 13:36Speaker 2: the game much. This Cleveland Philly spot a little more interesting,
- 13:41Speaker 2: but like I don't have too many appealing options on
- 13:44Speaker 2: the Philly side. So just getting right into this one.
- 13:47Speaker 2: In Cleveland and the Philadelphia seventy six ers, we are
- 13:49Speaker 2: looking at two and a half point favorites for Philly
- 13:52Speaker 2: two thirty four and a half total in this one.
- 13:53Speaker 2: The second biggest Philly side no doubt or excuse me,
- 13:57Speaker 2: Dominic Barlow is questionable. He did leave last game, didn't
- 14:00Speaker 2: come back, so he's questionable with a back injury. And
- 14:03Speaker 2: then for Cleveland, no Sam Merrill or Darius Garland, which
- 14:07Speaker 2: brings into play like you're talking Craig Porter brings in
- 14:12Speaker 2: Jalen Tyson, Donovan Mitchell. You will see some elevated ownership here. Yeah,
- 14:18Speaker 2: I'll let you take it away. But the Philly stuff,
- 14:20Speaker 2: it's really hard for me. Outside of m bead PG
- 14:24Speaker 2: and I guess you can always make a case for Maxi,
- 14:27Speaker 2: but I personally prefer Donovan Mitchell for one hundred less
- 14:30Speaker 2: if choosing take it away Philly and the Caves.
- 14:33Speaker 3: Yeah, so Philly's pretty easy for me, someone who plays
- 14:36Speaker 3: minimal lineups. I don't think I'll get to any Philly.
- 14:38Speaker 3: The studs you mentioned are always in play, so like
- 14:41Speaker 3: I would never tell anyone not to play Embeid or
- 14:43Speaker 3: Maxie as you mentioned, even Paul George at his price point.
- 14:45Speaker 3: But for me, it's unlikely that I will play anyone
- 14:50Speaker 3: on Philly. Cleveland's a different story. You mentioned the injuries,
- 14:53Speaker 3: no Garland, no marrill here. So Craig Porter Jr. Was
- 14:57Speaker 3: the first guy I thought of when I opened the
- 14:58Speaker 3: slate last night. Unfortunately, he's forty eight hundred, so he's
- 15:03Speaker 3: far from a must play. I do think he's wildly
- 15:05Speaker 3: in play, though, and he's gonna get some ownership and
- 15:08Speaker 3: not like a ton And I think that's probably right
- 15:12Speaker 3: because of his price tag. But we know he's a
- 15:14Speaker 3: guy that can accumulate stocks pretty easily, So all of
- 15:18Speaker 3: a sudden, if he's playing well and he gets some
- 15:20Speaker 3: extra run, he can easily pay off that forty eight
- 15:22Speaker 3: hundred price tag. Donovan Mitchell certainly gets a boost with
- 15:26Speaker 3: no Garland. His tag is up though at ninety six hundred,
- 15:29Speaker 3: Like sure you can. He kind of fits into the
- 15:32Speaker 3: Philly Studs with me. You could play Spider at any time, anywhere,
- 15:35Speaker 3: any plays, regardless any slate. You know, he's always in play.
- 15:40Speaker 3: He's got monster upside. But ninety six hundred doesn't like
- 15:43Speaker 3: Project Amazing at that price point, so I think he's
- 15:46Speaker 3: just in play in tournaments. I think the guy that
- 15:49Speaker 3: I like the most is Jalen Tyson. I'm all about
- 15:52Speaker 3: the Tyson family right now. I want the Browns to
- 15:54Speaker 3: draft Jordan Tyson, his brother, So why not play some
- 15:57Speaker 3: Jalen Tyson in NBA DFS tonight. Price tag is nice
- 16:00Speaker 3: at fifty two hundred. I think he plays a ton here.
- 16:04Speaker 3: The Calves have overall, and I've talked about this a
- 16:05Speaker 3: bunch of been very disappointing, probably the most frustrating team
- 16:10Speaker 3: and the leastest, the most disappointing team in the first
- 16:13Speaker 3: half of the season. But Tyson has been a bright
- 16:15Speaker 3: spot in that pool of darkness. Shooting out and small
- 16:19Speaker 3: forward eligible so you can play them at five different positions.
- 16:21Speaker 3: He looks like kind of, by far to me, the
- 16:23Speaker 3: best piece of Cleveland. He's getting ownership as he should.
- 16:27Speaker 3: If I'm playing one lineup, there's a good chance I'm
- 16:29Speaker 3: playing Tyson right now. Everyone else on Cleveland I think,
- 16:32Speaker 3: you know, the guys I mentioned, I should say, are
- 16:34Speaker 3: in play, but far from us.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and I do think this twenty five percent might
- 16:39Speaker 2: raise a little bit on Tyson, But again with the
- 16:42Speaker 2: Kawhi news and quickly not everything updated, maybe it stays
- 16:46Speaker 2: around there. But being guard forward eligible eligible is definitely
- 16:50Speaker 2: nice for him. Yeah, he seems so. I was gonna
- 16:53Speaker 2: ask you, like, do you put any merit into teams
- 16:56Speaker 2: that like have just played each other, so like the
- 16:58Speaker 2: Calves just just beat him up two days ago. Does
- 17:01Speaker 2: that anything, whether Philly try is harder and it's closer,
- 17:05Speaker 2: anything to do with that game? Do you have to
- 17:08Speaker 2: carry over to this game.
- 17:10Speaker 3: It's funny you asked me because I was literally gonna
- 17:12Speaker 3: start my synopsis with a take on that, but I
- 17:14Speaker 3: decided not to because I knew I was gonna talk
- 17:16Speaker 3: a lot about the game. But yeah, so for me,
- 17:19Speaker 3: this might be in my mental and it has nothing
- 17:21Speaker 3: to do with like Cleveland rolling Philly when they played
- 17:24Speaker 3: a couple of days ago. I hate these spots where
- 17:26Speaker 3: the teams play each other like in the same way
- 17:29Speaker 3: they play the same team like the day after or
- 17:32Speaker 3: a couple of days later for me, And again, this
- 17:35Speaker 3: might just be totally off and I'm wrong here. I
- 17:37Speaker 3: haven't crunched the numbers to find out. I tend to
- 17:40Speaker 3: like avoid these spots more than others. I feel like
- 17:43Speaker 3: the teams have just seen each other, they know their
- 17:46Speaker 3: tendencies a little bit more so like for me, in
- 17:49Speaker 3: my head, like I think the games are a little
- 17:51Speaker 3: bit lower scoring than they otherwise would be, so I'm
- 17:54Speaker 3: more apt to like get away from these spots, especially
- 17:57Speaker 3: when like the price tags aren't screaming that you have
- 18:00Speaker 3: to play anyone. So not that I like think you
- 18:02Speaker 3: have to like fade the game, but I do like
- 18:05Speaker 3: in the back of my mind, like for me, if
- 18:08Speaker 3: all things are equal and it's a tiebreaker, I'll go
- 18:10Speaker 3: to the guy that hasn't just played the same team.
- 18:12Speaker 3: I'll put it like that.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting. Any we have time, it's a four
- 18:18Speaker 2: game show baseball. You just saw a picture a week
- 18:21Speaker 2: ago or two weeks ago, and you see him again.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Advantage hitter advantage pitcher depends on the spot.
- 18:27Speaker 3: I think it depends on the spot usually, you know, again,
- 18:33Speaker 3: all things being equal, like in a vacuum. I think
- 18:35Speaker 3: it benefits the hitters because hitting is so hard these
- 18:38Speaker 3: days and you see so many different pictures that I
- 18:40Speaker 3: think it's a slight and I mean it's tiny, tiny
- 18:44Speaker 3: benefit to the hitters. But again, like pitchers are different
- 18:47Speaker 3: on each day too, Like they don't always have their
- 18:49Speaker 3: best stuff. So I don't think you can like throw
- 18:51Speaker 3: it in one ball and say it's always better for
- 18:53Speaker 3: the hitters, are always better for the pitchers. Again, I
- 18:56Speaker 3: think all things being equal, slight advantage to the hitters.
- 19:00Speaker 2: That makes sense. Any thoughts, final thoughts on Like Jared Allen,
- 19:04Speaker 2: I'm trying to look at the center.
- 19:05Speaker 3: Position to it, man, I can't do it. Yeah, like
- 19:08Speaker 3: he's just.
- 19:11Speaker 2: He is Senator's week in the sense if you're not
- 19:13Speaker 2: playing mbad or Jared Allen, Like Jay Laxon. Yeah, I
- 19:18Speaker 2: was gonna say it's Claxton and Jay Huff is pretty
- 19:20Speaker 2: much what you're looking at. So I was trying to
- 19:23Speaker 2: see if and.
- 19:23Speaker 3: I do think Classton Claxton is the real one. I go,
- 19:27Speaker 3: Claxton's like where the rubber meets the road because big
- 19:30Speaker 3: men destroyed Chicago. But Claxton, I mean, he's getting so
- 19:35Speaker 3: much ownership, he continues to get so much ownership, and
- 19:38Speaker 3: he stinks.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess we'll just take it right into that game.
- 19:43Speaker 2: The Brooklyn Nets and the Chicago Bulls one that point.
- 19:46Speaker 2: Favorites are the Nets two twenty five and a half
- 19:49Speaker 2: total in this one. On the Chicago side, I mean,
- 19:52Speaker 2: Julian Phillips question, will really no injury news to note there,
- 19:55Speaker 2: and there's no injury news to note on the Brooklyn
- 19:58Speaker 2: side as well. It's too fully healthy teams. Yeah, like
- 20:01Speaker 2: right now, this ownership is probably like a thirty nine
- 20:04Speaker 2: or something. Sorting by value, only two guys project for
- 20:07Speaker 2: over five x what I will say, trying to look
- 20:10Speaker 2: for low owned plays on a big slate, we do
- 20:12Speaker 2: have value. Michael Porter Junior eighty nine hundred. Him and
- 20:16Speaker 2: d Mitch are two of my favorite spends on the slates. Again,
- 20:19Speaker 2: that means you're not playing Mbeid you can or I mean,
- 20:21Speaker 2: you can easily play multiple guys. But Trey Murphy, Michael
- 20:25Speaker 2: Porter Junior for low ownership, and then Donovan Mitchell I
- 20:28Speaker 2: guard I think there's plenty of value to do it.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Those are three of my favorites and will be pretty
- 20:33Speaker 2: low owned in the sense of like people are gonna
- 20:35Speaker 2: jam Harden rightfully, so without Kawhi, but we get to
- 20:38Speaker 2: that game. I mean it is a low total. So
- 20:41Speaker 2: outside of Claxton and MPJ though, I'll let you talk
- 20:45Speaker 2: about it, pretty tough for me to click on these bulls.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Yeah, say this is a game that I don't have
- 20:50Speaker 3: a ton of interest in. Like Kobe White from the
- 20:52Speaker 3: Chicago side sixty three hundred, I'm fine with it. He
- 20:55Speaker 3: looks like it just to play to me getting a
- 20:57Speaker 3: little bit of ownership. Other than that, like from Chicago,
- 21:00Speaker 3: So I think you're needing to play a bunch of
- 21:01Speaker 3: lineups to really get to these guys, you know, vooch Io.
- 21:07Speaker 3: No one really stands out to me. I like the
- 21:09Speaker 3: Michael Porter Junior call a lot. I talked about him
- 21:11Speaker 3: on the last show. I was on and wrote about
- 21:12Speaker 3: him on the Slate Plan on Wednesday. He had been
- 21:16Speaker 3: he had a stinker last time out about as consistent
- 21:18Speaker 3: of a spend up option as you could get, like
- 21:20Speaker 3: forty two plus DraftKings points in thirteen or fourteen. You know,
- 21:24Speaker 3: spiked fifty a bunch of times. His price is up there,
- 21:28Speaker 3: so he's not gonna project great, but I do think
- 21:30Speaker 3: he's got upside in this spot, even at eighty nine hundred,
- 21:33Speaker 3: So he's my favorite piece of Brooklyn. And then it's
- 21:37Speaker 3: the Claxton versus Sharp conversation. I'm definitely I'm playing Sharp
- 21:41Speaker 3: over Claxton tonight in tournaments at five k. I know
- 21:44Speaker 3: that the minutes aren't going to be equal. Most likely
- 21:46Speaker 3: Claxton will play more. Sharp is just so much better
- 21:49Speaker 3: on a permanent basis, and Claxton is getting just an
- 21:53Speaker 3: insane amount of ownership, and I buy it because he's
- 21:56Speaker 3: been getting that on basically every slate he's been on.
- 21:59Speaker 3: So I'm out on Claxon in tournaments, like if he
- 22:02Speaker 3: beats me, he beats me, I'll play tomorrow. And that's
- 22:05Speaker 3: as of right now. Maybe the ownership changes. Maybe you
- 22:08Speaker 3: know this NBA dfast is fluid, right, Like, you can't
- 22:11Speaker 3: just say that you're not going to play a guy
- 22:13Speaker 3: at two thirty and then go into the slate at
- 22:16Speaker 3: six thirty. If guys are out, you know, stuff changes.
- 22:18Speaker 3: But as of right now, I really don't want to
- 22:20Speaker 3: play Claxon at this ownership and I'd much rather play
- 22:23Speaker 3: Dayron Sharp.
- 22:25Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. The smaller the slate,
- 22:27Speaker 2: the more pivots, like you have to be cognizant of ownership,
- 22:31Speaker 2: and there's no more direct leverage than Dayron Charp from Claxon. Again,
- 22:35Speaker 2: you can see Matt's core right here, GPP Core Report
- 22:39Speaker 2: Rio Matt Ham always have that up. I'm on the
- 22:42Speaker 2: cash report. So yeah, you'll be able to check that
- 22:44Speaker 2: out later to see if Claxon is in it or not.
- 22:46Speaker 2: My guess is right now we probably won't be go ahead.
- 22:49Speaker 2: What we're you gonna say, Oh, I caught your frozen.
- 22:53Speaker 2: He'll be back in a sec hopefully for three too.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Hopefully it's EU frozen on me. Anyone in chat wanna
- 23:03Speaker 2: want to let me know that and confirm it is
- 23:05Speaker 2: Matt and not myself before I just keep talking to
- 23:10Speaker 2: no one, all right, Thank you, thank you, Jake, all right,
- 23:19Speaker 2: we'll keep uh, we'll keep it rolling. It is Matt.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Thank you, guys, thank you. Oh he just moved a little,
- 23:24Speaker 2: can you hear me? Matt, We're gonna have to get
- 23:27Speaker 2: a get him a new ethernet cord or something like that.
- 23:30Speaker 2: But not I was gonna ask him about VOUCH. The
- 23:34Speaker 2: minutes are it feels like capped enough. But again the
- 23:36Speaker 2: center position embid will be the spent the spend up
- 23:39Speaker 2: in and Claxon will be like the mid tierish guy.
- 23:42Speaker 2: So if you are looking and chalk your lineups too
- 23:44Speaker 2: fine to pivot. I do think VOCH is a little
- 23:47Speaker 2: interesting now, not the best matchup, slow paced game. I
- 23:51Speaker 2: definitely prefer Trey Murphy, d mich and uh MPJ as spends.
- 23:57Speaker 2: But you you are able to play for sure too,
- 24:00Speaker 2: spends on the slate. There's enough value. So I do
- 24:02Speaker 2: think this Vooch ownership is interesting. But I like Matt's
- 24:06Speaker 2: day run Sharp call again just direct leverage. If Claxon
- 24:10Speaker 2: has a bad game, more than likely Sharp is doing
- 24:12Speaker 2: a little better. Good fantasy point per minute guy. If
- 24:15Speaker 2: Claxon minutes go down, Sharp is the direct beneficiary. Yeah,
- 24:21Speaker 2: Vooch price egg is a little high. I agree, it's
- 24:23Speaker 2: just man as a slay get smaller. If Boch does
- 24:25Speaker 2: put up his fifty I like he said, he's done
- 24:27Speaker 2: recently a little bit fifty five against Utah ask game
- 24:31Speaker 2: thirty six forty one bad, but then he was fifty
- 24:33Speaker 2: forty eight to fifty one. If he does get any
- 24:36Speaker 2: of those scores, you probably will need him. Right. Let
- 24:40Speaker 2: me just go here quick and then we'll get to
- 24:43Speaker 2: the last game. Hopefully our man comes back. All right,
- 24:48Speaker 2: there we go. Let's get to the last game of
- 24:49Speaker 2: the night, the Clippers and the Toronto Raptors. Important injury
- 24:53Speaker 2: news in this one, but first looking at the spread,
- 24:55Speaker 2: to a half point favorite to the Raptors two twelve
- 24:57Speaker 2: and a half total, so by far the least the
- 25:00Speaker 2: smallest toad on the late two forty and a half,
- 25:02Speaker 2: the Spacers, Pelicans two thirty four and a half, cas
- 25:05Speaker 2: seventy six ers two twenty five and a half, Bulls nuts,
- 25:08Speaker 2: and all the way down to twelve and a half
- 25:10Speaker 2: in this one. But at the end of the day,
- 25:12Speaker 2: injuries and opportunities trump the total. So no Kawhi Leonard
- 25:18Speaker 2: for the Clippers, No Big Danovich, he's been out, but
- 25:22Speaker 2: Zubac and John Collins both questionable. Very important news, and
- 25:26Speaker 2: again I'm hoping we get it before with all games
- 25:28Speaker 2: locking within thirty minutes. I do hope we do get
- 25:30Speaker 2: this news. I'd make this slate a little easier on
- 25:33Speaker 2: the other side injury news. Here we got news Emmanuel
- 25:36Speaker 2: Quickly's doubtful on top of Jamison battle and RJ. Barrett
- 25:40Speaker 2: being out. So let me just make sure. Let's see
- 25:44Speaker 2: what if it's us or if it's Sabersim that has
- 25:48Speaker 2: it right. Okay, it looks like we have it right.
- 25:53Speaker 2: Looks like they got it right. Nice, So I'm able
- 25:55Speaker 2: to take the average ownership. I'm not quite sure. Yeah,
- 26:01Speaker 2: this is probably it's not fully updated, but yeah, actually
- 26:04Speaker 2: it might be. So Jamal shed is definitely gonna be
- 26:06Speaker 2: the most popular play probably on the slate right now.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Fifty two hundred point guard no quickly No Barrett Chach's
- 26:12Speaker 2: slide right into the starting lineup and be very very good.
- 26:17Speaker 2: Big usage bump Brandon Ingram also big usage bump, Scottie
- 26:20Speaker 2: Barnes a big bump. These guys will be like the
- 26:23Speaker 2: mid tier bild. I think at least one of Ingram
- 26:25Speaker 2: Scotti and then people are gonna play Shed and then
- 26:28Speaker 2: Harden will be very popular with no Kawhi. So this
- 26:31Speaker 2: is the game people are gonna go to for spends,
- 26:33Speaker 2: these three, which is why I think Trey Murphy, d
- 26:35Speaker 2: Mitch some of the other stuff is interesting. His pivots
- 26:40Speaker 2: Zubac I think would be a little interesting if we knew,
- 26:45Speaker 2: If we knew that, like he was playing and no
- 26:48Speaker 2: John Collins could only help him as well. But again,
- 26:50Speaker 2: right in that Claxton price range, good per minute guy.
- 26:54Speaker 2: If he's getting thirty one minutes in this matchup, I
- 26:56Speaker 2: definitely would have some interest in tournaments there a man,
- 27:02Speaker 2: It's like Kobe Sanders at four k Jordan Miller. I'm
- 27:05Speaker 2: just not sure we need it because I definitely prefer
- 27:08Speaker 2: like the Tysons, the Porter for Cleveland stuff. I think
- 27:14Speaker 2: I prefer TJ. McConnell a little bit. But these guys
- 27:18Speaker 2: are cheaper, so Chris Dunn Jordan Miller are at Sanders.
- 27:23Speaker 2: They're interesting values, but I don't have a strong take
- 27:27Speaker 2: on it. I would love people hey, so yeah. I
- 27:31Speaker 2: mean it's tough, especially because I just came from the
- 27:33Speaker 2: NFL show, so trying to with a quickly news and
- 27:38Speaker 2: the Kauhi News. I don't have as strong of a
- 27:41Speaker 2: lien on what it does. I think Chris Dunns strong.
- 27:43Speaker 2: I mean, ignore the ownership, though it's gonna go up
- 27:46Speaker 2: point guard shooting guard eligibility. Miller done would be my
- 27:49Speaker 2: preferred over Sanders, But I don't have a strong lean.
- 27:52Speaker 2: If anyone in chat has has a take on that,
- 27:56Speaker 2: wouldn't that just say FROs connected Now Matt might be
- 27:59Speaker 2: an in a sec. But yeah, this like Sanaders, which
- 28:04Speaker 2: is zero point seven to two fantasy point for a minute,
- 28:07Speaker 2: not great now. A lot of this, again is sharing
- 28:09Speaker 2: the court with some of the studs. I'm just not sure.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Give me the Cavs guy or Calves guys, uh, Porter
- 28:16Speaker 2: and Tyson Moore. Murray Boyles has absolutely been crushing. Does
- 28:22Speaker 2: have power forward center eligibility. Thirty one minutes is what
- 28:26Speaker 2: they're projecting. Man, If I know I'm getting thirty one
- 28:29Speaker 2: minutes from Murray Boyles, let me check this quick. Yeah,
- 28:35Speaker 2: thirty two, thirty one forty two, I'm in. I think
- 28:37Speaker 2: that's another very interesting pivots. Uh, you can play them
- 28:40Speaker 2: at power forward, probably more than likely to play them
- 28:43Speaker 2: at center. Right in the Clackson You've got two pivots
- 28:45Speaker 2: at center. Assuming Zubac plays Clason sixty one hundred three
- 28:48Speaker 2: hundred less more Murray Boyles six hundred more is Zubox,
- 28:52Speaker 2: So I think those two would be pretty interesting as well.
- 28:56Speaker 2: Let's see if I missed anyone. I don't love John
- 28:59Speaker 2: Colin at that price tag. Even if he plays again,
- 29:02Speaker 2: Harden will be one of the more popular spends the Kahy.
- 29:05Speaker 2: The usage is a lot, but it's still very two
- 29:08Speaker 2: twelve and a half game environment compared to like two
- 29:11Speaker 2: thirty four and a half. I still don't love Harden.
- 29:14Speaker 2: I mean if he was twenty percent sure, but I
- 29:16Speaker 2: think this could be like to the thirty five forty
- 29:18Speaker 2: percent range. Wouldn't like it as much. Toronto Side is
- 29:21Speaker 2: tough to ignore, though. No Barrett no quickly at least
- 29:25Speaker 2: one of shed Ingram Barnes I think would be on
- 29:28Speaker 2: almost all my teams. Murray Boyles I think is interesting.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Dual eligibility. Not sure we really need to mess with
- 29:35Speaker 2: this stuff. There's enough value on the slate. I don't
- 29:38Speaker 2: think I want to play Obagi Dick or a loss in. Yeah,
- 29:45Speaker 2: pay up for Harden, Chalky take Jake, You're better than that.
- 29:48Speaker 2: But no, the usage will be phenomenal for him. Who
- 29:52Speaker 2: do you prefer, Don Miller and Sanders. I have played
- 29:54Speaker 2: more Miller right now it's done, Miller pretty much tied,
- 29:59Speaker 2: and then Sanders. This is a big bump down personally
- 30:02Speaker 2: for me. The usage better with those guys. I was
- 30:07Speaker 2: trying to give it a little bit and give it
- 30:09Speaker 2: another minute or so if Matt can come back and
- 30:12Speaker 2: give his takes. But otherwise we got our man Rio
- 30:14Speaker 2: on the slate plan like usual NBA slate plan. You
- 30:17Speaker 2: can check that out Matt Core report our man Ham
- 30:21Speaker 2: and Rio. Of course you can find that there. I'm
- 30:23Speaker 2: on the Cash the Stone, best tool in the business showdown.
- 30:26Speaker 2: You get the slate plan from our man little Neck
- 30:29Speaker 2: Monday through Friday. You also do get projections and ownership
- 30:32Speaker 2: for that of course main slate projections ownership as well.
- 30:35Speaker 2: Five days for nineteen bucks using code ship nineteen. Otherwise,
- 30:39Speaker 2: if you just type in ship in nation dot com,
- 30:41Speaker 2: it'll say join the Nation daily pass, five day pass,
- 30:44Speaker 2: monthly pass. But if you haven't gave us a try,
- 30:46Speaker 2: I think doing the five days for nineteen dollars, you
- 30:50Speaker 2: never mad spending nineteen dollars when there is millions, and
- 30:54Speaker 2: I'm not exaggeration, millions and millions in prize pools in
- 30:57Speaker 2: multiple sports in those five days. NFL has millions and millions,
- 31:02Speaker 2: PGA Showdown, NBA, of course, NHL, and college football on Monday.
- 31:07Speaker 2: You will get our content for that if you do
- 31:10Speaker 2: sign up right now. Yeah, what's is not? Matt loved
- 31:16Speaker 2: not I shouldn't maybe emphasize love, but day Run Sharp.
- 31:19Speaker 2: It seemed like it was one of his favorite plays.
- 31:21Speaker 2: For the sense of claxon, this ownership is probably light
- 31:24Speaker 2: A direct pivot at the center spot and center is
- 31:27Speaker 2: pretty weak on this slate eleven hundred savings. They don't
- 31:29Speaker 2: share the court. Day run sharp and chalky lineups. I
- 31:33Speaker 2: think was a very sharp call from Matt. Unfortunately, I'm
- 31:37Speaker 2: not sure he will be back. We're gonna have to
- 31:40Speaker 2: make sure that his WiFi gets a little better next time.
- 31:43Speaker 2: But hope everything is good with all you guys out there.
- 31:46Speaker 2: You guys are ready for an awesome weekend. A lot
- 31:48Speaker 2: of football on my screen A NBA, do not forget
- 31:51Speaker 2: about it though, NHL, PGA Showdown, plenty of money to
- 31:55Speaker 2: be made. We would love to have you at the Nation.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Any other questions getting the this cord. You can ask
- 32:01Speaker 2: Rio or Man Matt's anything, Little Neck, we'd love to
- 32:05Speaker 2: have you. Unfortunately, I was trying to buy some time
- 32:08Speaker 2: and I do not think he's going to make it.
- 32:11Speaker 2: But so, what's a favorite hit the like hit the
- 32:13Speaker 2: subscribe on the way out. We'd love to have you
- 32:15Speaker 2: at schipanation dot com. Good luck everybody this week. Good
