  Fall systems going clear the lift. What's going on everybody? We're back talking
• 0:38
  some hoops. My man Rio and I nice four Games slay yesterday. It
• 0:43
  was uh, it was pretty good. I saw some screenshots in there.
• 0:46
  I got pretty close, not enough to get to the top. Spurs absolutely
• 0:50
  nukes Collins, MAMU ten gamer today. I like little ten games injury news
• 0:55
  as always, excited to break it down with you. Ben's in here,
• 0:58
  Sean go collect William Red's Charlie and he appreciate everyone hanging out as always.
• 1:03
  Throw it to my en. Rio got the green Yankees hat yesterday, the
• 1:07
  black Yankees hat today? You really want baseball? What's going on now?
• 1:11
  I'm just trying to compete with you. You always come out with the fresh
• 1:14
  hats. I gotta gotta switch it up every day. Had to got the
• 1:17
  ship at Hoodie on today's had to mash it up a little bit. Yeah,
• 1:22
  it's pretty pretty solid slate. As always, on these big Wednesday Friday
• 1:26
  type slates, you're gonna have a ton of injury news that will definitely make
• 1:30
  or break the slate. Luckily we got I like how Dragkens have been doing
• 1:34
  this where they're kind of meshing in all the games together in a small hour
• 1:38
  and a half windows, so we'll get all the news at the same time.
• 1:42
  Could be could be kind of overwhelming if things we get some crazy news
• 1:46
  like a Yo kich or embiid something like that. Sits. But I prefer
• 1:51
  that having all the games in this smaller window than having it spread it out
• 1:55
  over a three four hour window. So yeah, I'm excited for this.
• 1:59
  The Slate just did my ride up, just got the slate plan up right
• 2:02
  before we went live. So feeling good, feeling nice and prepared to talk
• 2:06
  about this ten game slate. Oh yeah, as always Yeah, Rio is
• 2:09
  always prepared, dives in, deep dives into the numbers. Does a great
• 2:13
  job over here at chippin'nation dot com. Many of you guys probably know,
• 2:15
  but the slate plan Rio does breaks down upper tier, mid tier, lower
• 2:20
  tier, writes a blurb on all those players. A good amount of it's
• 2:23
  up the night before, at least usually a skeleton piece, and then he
• 2:28
  had stuffs as the slate goes as the morning goes on, and then when
• 2:30

  Absolute tank in the three dollars right there? So yeah, Keith in
• 4:05
  here, Marley, what's going on? Marley? One of the Pacers games?
• 4:09
  So got a stack it. We will talk about that very shortly,
• 4:12
  Big Total, get to see the boy, Tyree's baby, Jordan, Jasmin
• 4:15
  in here, Frank in here, Mark in here as well, Jake,
• 4:18
  what's going on? Any initial thoughts? Obviously, injury news is always key.
• 4:23
  You mentioned the start times only one late game, which is nice.
• 4:27
  Anything else before we go game by game? Not really? I mean,
• 4:31
  uh yeah, I mean big. A couple of big names that are questionable.
• 4:35
  Then we just got a couple more pieces of news rolling in while this
• 4:41
  while we just started. Josh Hart and Milak, Monk Tari's and all questionable
• 4:45
  I definitely think that changes things up a little bit. Had a couple of
• 4:47
  those guys in the slate plan I was interested in. But obviously we'll we'll
• 4:51
  break it down when we get to those games. Talk if then scenarios yep,
• 4:56
  as always, we'll go if then talk to you tags mid day downgrades,
• 5:00
  multiple mid day down grades today. So hey, welcome to the NBA
• 5:03
  and welcome to the association. You guys know the grind. That's what the
• 5:08
  NBA is. That's why there's a huge edge. Though you need to stay
• 5:10
  on top of it. If you can't do it like today, I'll be
• 5:13
  at a hockey game. I cannot be playing. I cannot be dealing with
• 5:16
  late swap, so I will not be playing. I think that's how you
• 5:18
  should approach it. If I get back in time for Showdown, I'll hop
• 5:21
  in those streets. We also do have showdown content that our man Rio does
• 5:25
  Monday through Friday. Pride School is very good. Content has been on points.
• 5:30
  That's our first game of the night right here. Big Marley's gonna be
• 5:32
  in attendance. Charlotte Hornet's Indiana Pacers Big Boy total two forty seven and a
• 5:36
  half pacers are favored by nine and a half. Looking at the injury report,
• 5:41
  Mark Williams is still doubtful. Nick Richards will continue to start. LaMelo
• 5:45
  is still out as well. On the indie side, Miles Turner and Jalen
• 5:49
  Smith are questionable. I always love playing Isaiah Jackson. Tell me if you
• 5:55
  think that does it just need Turner to be out or if I or if
• 6:00
  Jalen Smith out as well, could you get to a little Isaiah Jackson.
• 6:02
  I think you're gonna say you need both or you need Myles Turner to be
• 6:05
  out. To play Jackson, I'd expect him to slide in the starting lineup.
• 6:09
  I love tyrese as always, but talking ownership in this game, I
• 6:13
  think it's gonna be pretty low even with this big, big total, so
• 6:16
  you can always get to tyrese as a conturrion spend if Turners out. I
• 6:20
  like some Isaiah Jackson help Marley out though he wants to stack up this game.
• 6:25
  Who you like? Yes, I mean this is a really good game
• 6:29
  to kick off the night. Huge point total, as is always with the
• 6:32
  Pacers playing. They just play with the fastest paced terrible defense. Been good
• 6:39
  most of the year offensively, but they've really been struggling lately, and I
• 6:43
  mean Rick Carlo is kind of hinting at a lineup change here possibly, so
• 6:47
  a couple of guys that could be at risk of losing their starting job,
• 6:51
  Buddy Healed and Obi Topping, think that it would make sense to probably put
• 6:57
  in a Bendic Matheren and or Aaron Smith, and they both should see pretty
• 7:01
  heavy bump in their minutes. But yeah, based on the matchups, these
• 7:06
  teams are very similar in the way that they played defense. Both are huge
• 7:10
  rim funnels. Pacers are dead last in the league in rim defense. Hornets
• 7:14
  are bottom five, and the Pacers allow the least amount of three pointers per
• 7:18
  game. So I don't necessarily think that's because their three point defense is elite.
• 7:24
  It's just their rim defense is so bad that it's just the path of
• 7:27
  least resistance just to get to the rim and get most of your buckets down
• 7:30
  low. But yeah, this Pacers obviously play play super fast and paced their
• 7:36
  bottom two transition defense. Hornets have kind of struggled with their transition offense this
• 7:41
  year, so definitely think that this can be a get right spot for them
• 7:44
  to put up a big boys score and on the Hornets side. Definitely have
• 7:49
  a lot of interest in Terry Rozier here, even at eight point nine K.
• 7:54
  I don't know if we've ever seen Terry at this big of a price
• 7:56
  tag, but he's been playing some of his best basketball of his career this
• 7:59
  year with no LaMelo Ball leading the team and all the ball handling role,
• 8:03
  the usage, assist percentage, the time possession is all there. This is
• 8:07
  one of the best matchup for opposing point guards going to have an easy weak
• 8:11
  defender on him on the other side, so he could definitely put up a
• 8:13
  big boys score here. I think he's got really really high ceiling, and
• 8:18
  his assist numbers have been keeping his floor pretty high to as a couple double
• 8:24
  digit assist games in the past five six games and kind of hovering around six
• 8:30
  to seven in a game. So he's definitely very much in play here.
• 8:35
  As far as all the secondary Hornets guys, I want to have a lot
• 8:39
  of interest in them just because the matchup is so good. But you look
• 8:41
  at the price tags, six point nine K for Hayward, six point five
• 8:46
  for Brandon Miller, six point three for PJ. Richards is six point one
• 8:50
  K and then all these value guys. Bryce McCallan's Ish Smith in the mid
• 8:56
  to high four K, so they don't really excite me that much. The
• 9:00
  only other player that I do have interest in on the hornet side would be
• 9:03
  Miles Bridges. I think it'd be a little bit tougher for him if Aaron
• 9:07
  Ni Smith were to play. I'm not sure if Nie Smith would get the
• 9:11
  Miles Bridge's assignment, but new Smith is a pretty solid defender. But I
• 9:15
  mean, anytime the pacers are on the slate, you can almost guarantee that
• 9:18
  somebody on other side of the game is going to have a pretty big fantasy
• 9:20
  scores. I think that the most likely outcome is one of Terry or Miles
• 9:26
  Bridges puts up a big game and they're both just going to see super heavy
• 9:28
  minutes. So those would be my two main pieces on the hornet side.
• 9:31
  And yeah, pacer side is kind of tough to peg right now because they're
• 9:37
  just playing really bad right now. Tyre's Haliburn minutes have come down a lot,
• 9:41
  his efficiency has been slipping a lot too, Prices starting to come down
• 9:45
  to a place he's a little bit more playable, but almost eleven K.
• 9:48
  It's just kind of tough for him, just with the current form that he's
• 9:52
  in right now. So I don't really have much interest in Halliburn. I
• 9:56
  would expect if if Miles Turner is in, I would expect him to have
• 10:01
  a pretty strict minacelimit just with him having a hamstring injury. So I don't
• 10:05
  think that you can really get there at seven point two K. And then
• 10:09
  I mean all the other guys are pretty priced up as well. Benecmatherens six
• 10:13
  point three K, it's not not much of a value even if he is
• 10:15
  starting. And yeah, TJ McConnell almost six k, buddy, heals almost
• 10:20
  six K. I think Isaiah Jackson, like you said earlier, if both
• 10:24
  Miles Turner and Jalen Smith were out, I think you can go right back
• 10:26
  to him at five point seven K. It's always been a really good matchup
• 10:28
  for opposing centers against the Hornets, so I would not mind going back to
• 10:33
  him at five point seven K if both Turner and Jalen Smith are out.
• 10:37
  But yeah, surprisingly don't only have a ton of interest in the pacers side.
• 10:41
  Yeah, it's price according so just say Jalen Smith and Miles Turner's out
• 10:46
  would you have. I mean, Isaiah Jackson still five seven and centers loaded,
• 10:50
  mainly loaded, and it's two guys Nick Claxton, Isaiah Hartenstein very strong
• 10:54
  plays not quite the Zach Collins mom moved like yesterday where anyone's contrarian, Joe
• 11:00
  Val got there, Brooke got there. I mean it was great center nights.
• 11:03
  I still think two centers will be popular. You can mention Nick Richards,
• 11:07
  I don't with the worse sixty one hundred mark saying I don't know.
• 11:09
  I think I want a little more upside at the center position. But Isaiah
• 11:13
  Jackson thoughts on him if Jalen Smith was in and Miles Turners out, could
• 11:18
  you get there at five to seven or do you need both out? Now?
• 11:22
  I think you could get there at five to seven if just because Jalen
• 11:24
  Smith is going to be returning from an injury as well. So I don't
• 11:26
  think that he's immediately sledding into the starting role or even seeing mid twenties minutes.
• 11:31
  I think that most of those minutes probably still go to Isaiah Jackson.
• 11:35
  And he's been getting talked up by Rick Carlisle a lot too, just saying
• 11:41
  he's really improved as a as an NBA player, There's definitely a chance that
• 11:46
  they just run more small ball. I mean, you could definitely slide an
• 11:48
  Obi top into the five, or I mean, I don't see Neie Smith's
• 11:54
  playing the five, but Charlotte's could be Obi. Yeah, it could be
• 11:58
  Obi the five. Charlot is pretty thin at the back of the front court
• 12:01
  too, so they don't really have a true backup center. I guess if
• 12:05
  you want to say, like Nate Nathan Mensa, but he's not guaranteed to
• 12:11
  see minutes by any means, So I think that they could. Indy could
• 12:13
  definitely run more small bond that could take away minutes from Isaiah Jackson Jalen Smith.
• 12:18
  But yeah, I think if if Turner is out, you can very
• 12:22
  very well go back to Jalen Smith or Isaiah Jackson. I think, yeah,
• 12:24
  for sure. I mean this game definitely could go small like Nick Richard,
• 12:28
  Hey, if he gets in foul Troubler Summer, if Turner's out,
• 12:31
  you can see him go PJ. You can see him go Bridges at the
• 12:33
  five, and it's easy for Indiana to match too. So yeah, my
• 12:39
  interest in this game definitely can play Terry. I'd like Terry chucks. His
• 12:43
  role has been great. Brandon Miller, man, he has been tilting me.
• 12:46
  But you look at the usage, the shot attempts way better price on
• 12:48
  FanDuel. Ownership will follow five point AK compared to six to five on DK,
• 12:54
  But I mean sixteen sixty. I mean the last four games maybe had
• 12:58
  sixteen shot attempts upper thirty minutes in a couple of them. Usage twenty four,
• 13:01
  thirty one, twenty one, twenty five, twenty five, twenty six.
• 13:05
  The dude's chucking it. I mean it tilted me A couple of nights
• 13:07
  ago. I had Rogier Richards had all the hornets except Miller, and the
• 13:11
  dude literally just did not look at it and he got the ball and he
• 13:13
  was a black hole and it tilted me so hard. But if your roster
• 13:18
  on, that's something you do like. I think Brandon Miller, he has
• 13:20
  that upside upper thirties minutes, great game environment, He's gonna chuck. The
• 13:26
  shots do have to fall, but I'm good with Brandon Miller. Contrarian,
• 13:30
  a little contrarian on DK again Fandue a lot better price. Ownership will follow,
• 13:33
  But I really think it's just Terry Brandon Miller for me, and then
• 13:37
  if Miles Turners out can get to some Isaiah Jackson, but center's completely loaded.
• 13:43
  He's just center eligible. That's that game, Big Marley, let us
• 13:46
  know who your game. Sacking this one up because it is pretty tough.
• 13:50
  Well, I was gonna say, oh, go collect. I forgot to
• 13:54
  mention, man, you're gonna get one of these puppies pretty soon after his
• 13:56
  ship baby drafters, come on, go collect? What's going on? OMG,
• 14:01
  what's going on? Ross? Any thoughts on this, like if I
• 14:05
  think if Turner and Jalen Smith are outs, maybe thirty, but he's not
• 14:11
  going to be running thirty mid thirties minutes like they can go small. Any
• 14:15
  thought thoughts on Isada Jackson's minutes? No, I think that if both those
• 14:20
  guys are out mid twenties is the most likely outcome. I don't think that
• 14:24
  they're going to really push him to get to thirty minutes. He I don't
• 14:28
  think he's he's never even got last game he had the most minutes got to
• 14:31
  twenty five that he's had pretty much all seasons. I think that's most likely
• 14:35
  outcome. YEP, I agree, they're good point per minute guy, but
• 14:39
  the minutes are cap Let's keep it rolling. Next game on the slate,
• 14:41
  Miami Heat Orlando Magic to nineteen total. Orlando is favored by five. On
• 14:46
  the injury report, Jimmy Butler is out, Kevin Love is out for Miami.
• 14:50
  For Orlando Jingles Joe Ingles is out doesn't mean much. And in terms
• 14:56
  of DFS, I mean, these are two teams I hate playing. Yes,
• 14:58
  jim is out. Both these teams play slow, good defense. The
• 15:03
  prices are efficient, like BAM's nine to five at a loaded center position.
• 15:07
  Wendell Carter minutes limits. If I had to pick anyone, and probably Paulo
• 15:11
  at ak I'm just never a polo guy. I'm gonna say total pass,
• 15:16
  but it's Poulo or nothing. I guess what about you? What do you
• 15:18
  see? Uh? Yeah, I'm a pass in this game too. I
• 15:22
  don't I don't see much even with Jimmy being out, none of the all
• 15:26
  the Heat guys are priced up really, really high, so I think you
• 15:28
  can get away from them. And yeah, pretty much just polo or passed
• 15:31
  for me in this game. I love it. Just keep it rolling.
• 15:33
  Next game on the sled. Yeah, we appreciate everyone hanging out appreciate that
• 15:37
  like button, May appreciates it as well. So like button, subscribe button

  package. So head over there, hit the subscribe button on the ship and
• 15:52
  Nation YouTube channel as well. Yes, Wendell Carter is back, Go collect
• 15:56
  keep it rolling. Next game on the slate, we got the Minnesota Timberwolves
• 16:00
  into Philly two twenty five and a half total. Philly is favored by three
• 16:04
  looking at the injury reports, and this one we got on the Philly side,
• 16:10
  Roco and Marcus Morris is questionable. Nicholas Patoom is out so doesn't look
• 16:15
  too important. But I think at both of them miss they're definitely gonna be
• 16:18
  thin at the wing as far as the Minnesota side. No injury news,
• 16:22
  that's important. Talk about the Q tags and if that matters anything to you,
• 16:26
  And beads always ere an interest for me. Gonna be so so low
• 16:30
  on because center's absolutely loaded. He is very expensive. Can you get to
• 16:36
  an MB Do you think there's enough value as of now I'm this late.
• 16:37
  Plenty of Q tags it feels like some value should open up this is the
• 16:41
  first game or the it locks right away though, could you see yourself plugging
• 16:45
  in them? Bid to start? Outside of that? Does the Q tags
• 16:48
  do anything for any of these guys any interests on the Minnesota side? Uh?
• 16:52
  Yeah, Q tags don't really do much for me in this game.
• 16:55
  I just think that they're even though they'll they'll be missing Covington, Marcus Morris,
• 17:00
  and but toom they have enough wing depth with Kelly Oubre and Daniel House.
• 17:04
  They could definitely mix those guys in. Uh, it might be going
• 17:08
  in and out of the mute. I got a bunch of barking dogs in
• 17:11
  the background right now, but I'll try to try to manage. If you
• 17:15
  got a mute, you got a mute. But it's not distracting us.
• 17:17
  But if you gotta do it, no worries. Okay, I think I
• 17:21
  think they're fine right now. But yeah, I really like Embiid in this
• 17:26
  matchup, even even though there's a lot of things going against him. Just
• 17:30
  these are two of the best defenses in the league. Wolves are number one
• 17:33
  overall. They're the best team in terms of DVP versus the center, but
• 17:37
  they haven't really played a player like Embiid this year, so you can kind
• 17:41
  of throw matchup stuff away when you're talking about guys like Embiid, Halliburton,
• 17:45
  Yokis, those type of players, they're just they're too good. And I
• 17:49
  mean, anytime you get a full minutes workload from Embid thirty six thirty seven
• 17:52
  minutes, he's gonna he's pretty much guaranteed to smash. I don't think that
• 17:56
  there is there's no no ender in the league that can really guard Embid with
• 18:02
  how well he's playing right now. And on top of that, he's becoming
• 18:04
  way more involved as a passer. He leads a team in assist percentage thirty
• 18:08
  one percent, So even if they're blitzing him with double teams, he's gonna
• 18:12
  find somebody that's open. He's just been getting much more involved and really improved
• 18:17
  his his playmaking a lot this year. So I don't I don't have any
• 18:21
  issues going to Embiid. I mean, if you look at ownership, then
• 18:26
  I mean you're you're talking about Luca, who's six hundred dollars more. Obviously
• 18:30
  in a probably I mean probably a better spot, but just with like usage
• 18:34
  to go around. More to Luca but six hundred cheaper and he's only going
• 18:38
  to be four to six percent. I think that Embiid makes us a really
• 18:42
  strong spent of option. That I mean, he's anytime he's gotten thirty seven
• 18:48
  thirty six minutes, I mean he's been in the seventies like pretty consistently.
• 18:51
  He just look at his numbers. He's been just crushing this year. So
• 18:53
  I don't I'm not too scared off of the Rudy Gobert matchup at all,
• 18:57
  but he would really be the only person I'm looking to in this game.
• 19:03
  I think not much really stands out on the on the Minnesota side, tough
• 19:08
  matchup for going against Anthony Melton kar Anthony Towns is pretty pretty priced up for
• 19:15
  this low of a game total and slow of a game. And then I
• 19:18
  guess if you wanted to, like I would, I don't think it's too
• 19:21
  crazy to go to Rudy Gobert if he's able to stay out of foul trouble,
• 19:25
  which is a pretty big if the matchup is not really the worst.
• 19:29
  I mean, Embiid he's a solid defender. I always say this, but
• 19:33
  he's he's not going to give one hundred percent effort on defense. He's kind
• 19:37
  of fine letting teams score a little bit around the rooms. I think that
• 19:40
  Rudy might be able to get a couple open looks and obviously has the big
• 19:44
  rebounding upside, but just a big, big downside with the embiid matchup,
• 19:48
  and there could be a ton of ton of foul risks going his way.
• 19:51
  But embiid is definitely my favorite play in this game. Man, this mute
• 19:56
  the only one screen this mute stuff. It's so I'm beater. You see
• 20:00
  it the same way I do. Yeah, I like it. Let's get
• 20:03
  to the next game. Honestly, who uh marc as I was also looking
• 20:06
  at that who takes but Toomb's minutes, he's wondering, not that it really
• 20:10
  matters at all. I see it being well, it also depends on these
• 20:15
  other cue tags, like it's gonna be Roco. I think Morris gets,
• 20:18
  Tobias gets more minutes, Ubray Meltain. I just think it's the other guys
• 20:22
  that are in the rotation just get a couple more minutes, Bump. I
• 20:23
  don't see like one direct pivot that gets all of them. Don't have interest
• 20:27
  either way, but you see it any different. I'm just trying to think,
• 20:33
  like matchup wise, it makes sense to get one of having probably Covington
• 20:37
  in there, but I think is he questionable? He's questionable to him and
• 20:41
  Marcus Morris. That's what I like. If both of them are out,
• 20:45
  I don't know, like do I really want to go like Uber Tobias at
• 20:48
  six nine Mountain at five set, like those are the guys if both of
• 20:52
  them are out, those are the guys that get a huge bump, like
• 20:53
  how much or a bump in minutes for sure, Like would they roll Daniel
• 20:57
  House or Quark Mods or any of that, Not really sure. I think
• 21:00
  it's just those starters the mountains Uber as Tobias max he will run is forty
• 21:06
  if both of them are out. If one of our are in or both
• 21:07
  of them are in, I think they're the biggest beneficiaries, but we're not
• 21:11
  playing them. So that's how I see it. Yeah, I think it's
• 21:15
  it's gotta be gotta be Uber just seeing a pretty big minutes bump. I
• 21:22
  mean that could sneakily be a better spot for kar Anthony Towns. I mean,
• 21:26
  if all these guys are out, but Tom's a pretty solid defender and
• 21:30
  they really won't have anybody behind Tobias Harris to stick with car Anthony town So
• 21:33
  maybe maybe he would be more in play if all three of those guys were
• 21:37
  out. Yeah, I like it because but Tom is but Toom is out,
• 21:41
  and then those other two are questionable. But yeah, I think,
• 21:48
  let me make sure I'm seeing this right. So much is going on right
• 21:49
  now? Yeah, so they're Morris is questionable, He's questionable, where the
• 21:55
  heck is? But Toom's out, Covington questionable, Morris questionable. I think
• 22:00
  even if all both of them were out, Like, do you see yourself
• 22:03
  on a ten game slate with all these Q tags getting to like an uber
• 22:06
  at five to nine or like mounting at five Steve, I don't think so
• 22:11
  Towns that maybe that makes sense that way, no one, no one's ever
• 22:14
  talks about going to the other side eight point a k. He's still gonna
• 22:17
  be solo owned. You think he'd be the biggest beneficiary if both of them
• 22:19
  are out, even more than these Philly guys in terms of who you play
• 22:22
  in DFS, I mean, matchup Boise, he would have to be.
• 22:26
  I just don't see who else the the Sixers could throw at him, because
• 22:30
  Daniel House, I mean, solid defender, but he's gonna be way undersized.
• 22:36
  And I mean even Obias Harris is pretty undersized and he's not even that
• 22:40
  good of a defender. Kelly Oubre is not gonna guard Karl Anthony Town,
• 22:42
  So I think that he could be he kind of be out there on an
• 22:45
  island against a pretty weak defender most of the night. Yeah, let's just
• 22:49
  hold I mean, I assume one of these guys will being Let's let's hope
• 22:52
  they are. Dennis just sen beater bus in that game pretty easy and it's
• 22:56
  very interesting. So right now, assuming Donovan Mitchell's in and we're about to
• 23:00
  talk on this game, he's going to be the most popular spend on the
• 23:03
  slate. He was a mid day down grade, though he didn't go through
• 23:07
  shoot around. It's an illness. We've seen this yesterday. We saw Wiggins
• 23:11
  like two hours before game time become a mid day downgrade. A question will
• 23:14
  still played. But if a D. Mitch is in, I think that's
• 23:18
  where people go. As the highest spend, at least for most roster construction,
• 23:22
  then they jammed that mid tier building. More so, anybody above him
• 23:25
  talking to them, be talking to Lucas are going to be contrarian, especially
• 23:27
  at that center position, so I assume enough value will open up. You
• 23:32
  get seventy seventy five from EMBIID, which is definitely in the realm of possibilities.
• 23:36
  At one percent two percent, you can sign me up for that any
• 23:38
  day. So I'm beater bust in that game. Monitor the wing news though
• 23:42
  with Roco and Morris. Keep it rolling. Next game on the slates,
• 23:47
  Rio's Utah Jazz taken on the Cleveland Cavaliers two twenty seven and a half total.
• 23:51
  Cavs are favored by five. We talked about it on the Cavs side,
• 23:56
  why d Mitch is going to be the most popular if he plays Garland's
• 23:59
  out and he's out. D Mitch is questionable again he misshoot around. It
• 24:03
  isn't illness. We will get this news before locked. First game seven pm
• 24:07
  Eastern. Still Utah side sucks your boy, Conte George, He's out,
• 24:12
  Jordan Clarkson's out. Your at seven is out touch on this cash side first
• 24:18
  outside of d mich I think LeVert might get a little ownership. George Niang
• 24:22
  is popping for some value or Coro is gonna slide or stay in the starting
• 24:26
  lineup without Garland and MOBILEI I always hate playing to Coro Niang. I'm much
• 24:32
  better playing, But I don't know, Man, four K value is a
• 24:37
  little tough right now. I think that's why a lot of these people are
• 24:38
  are The general roster construction is gonna be mid tier right now because under four
• 24:44
  point five K, there's really not much as stands out right now. Always
• 24:48
  assume some value opens up projections, dictate that we have them updated all the
• 24:52
  time. But if the slate locked right now, Niang's popping a little bit
• 24:56
  for value and that is definitely gross. But touch on d Mitch. If
• 24:59
  he's out, how many kavs are too many in any interest? On the
• 25:02
  other side, Yeah, I mean, if he Mitches out, you're I
• 25:04
  think you got a jam in probably three cavaliers, and I mean just the
• 25:11
  guys that would be in play. I think, like how i'd rank them.
• 25:15
  Craig Porter Junior is probably gonna be number one. I think that he
• 25:18
  would probably slide into the starting lineup. He's already shown this year he can
• 25:22
  be a really solid fantasy producer. When't given the minutes. Kris LeVert going
• 25:26
  to see a huge uptick and ball handling going to see a ton of minutes.
• 25:29
  Great matchup two for opposing guards. Max Shrus is going to be right
• 25:33
  there to six point six K little expensive for him, but his playmaking has
• 25:37
  been up this year, rebounding is up, and really good matchup for three
• 25:41
  point shooters. The Jazz are bottom three in the league in three pointers allowed
• 25:45
  per game, so really all of these guys are set up pretty nicely.
• 25:48
  I think to a lesser degree, Jared Allen would be a pretty solid play
• 25:53
  just because he's going to get more shot attempts his way with Donovan being out.
• 25:57
  That's about twenty five plus vacated field goal attempts per game with Donovan out.
• 26:04
  Matchup is not as good for the Biggs against the Jazz. They've actually
• 26:10
  surprisingly done a lot better defensively against opposing centers with Walker Kesler back in the
• 26:15
  lineup, playing bigger minutes, so they've kind of shored up their interior defense
• 26:18
  a little bit more. But yeah, I mean, if Donovan is in,
• 26:23
  he definitely should be one of the higher on studs tonight. I mean,
• 26:26
  I don't it's not like a secret that there's a little bit of a
• 26:32
  revenge spot for him. Obviously they traded, you know, you got Lourie
• 26:34
  Markin and the contacts and coming over from the Cavaliers for Donovan Mitchell kind of
• 26:38
  left on bad terms. I definitely think that he would want to show out
• 26:41
  against his former team. Matchup is gonna be awesome. The Jazz have no
• 26:45
  on ball defense with consects and thht Chris Dunn type of guys out there trying
• 26:51
  to guard Donovan Mitchell. Great matchup for three point shooters. Like I said,
• 26:53
  so, he would definitely be probably the best spin up on the slate.
• 26:56
  If he is in. It's projecting really well right now. Is probably
• 27:02
  the top value on the whole slate too. So definitely have a ton of
• 27:04
  interest in Donovan if he's in. I guess we could talk like if then
• 27:10
  scenarios if he is out, because I think there's a couple of ways that
• 27:15
  they could go with the starting lineup. Give me Cares, give me Strews
• 27:18
  right away, the easiest plays, yeah, Craig Porter if he slides in
• 27:22
  very easy as well. I don't know, like if Allen then gets steam
• 27:26
  like Alan doesn't do much for a dem or like d Mitch being out doesn't
• 27:30
  do much for Alan, So if he did catch that steam at a good
• 27:33
  center position, not much interest on my side there. The Kniyang's the I
• 27:38
  don't know man, Like Dean Wade a Core, I always hate playing a
• 27:41
  car. I'm scarred. His first game is a rookie year forty one minutes
• 27:45
  like one point five FanDuel points or something went down at OT. I'm always
• 27:51
  scarred. But I don't know what you get to the orcorros in the Yangs
• 27:52
  of the world. The Niang's popping a little bit right now and again just
• 27:56
  the lack of value, and I don't expect to stay assuming we get some
• 28:00
  injury news. I don't know, man, I I mean, I may
• 28:06
  have too big of a bias in this one. Just I saw George Niang
• 28:08
  playing the jazz for for years, and just it was so painful to watch
• 28:15
  him out there. He's literally my least favorite player in the NBA, and
• 28:18
  any one of my any one of my friends asked my dad, is I
• 28:22
  have I'm the leader of the George nian Hate Club, for I love them.
• 28:26
  I loved him at Iowa State too, man. He was the he
• 28:30
  was that cow, the Frank Kaminski asque slow motion he just found a way
• 28:33
  to get it done. But yeah, I hear you, for sure.
• 28:37
  Yeah, but I mean it's hard to deny that he would. I mean,
• 28:40
  he's definitely fine at four K small for power Ford eligibility. If Donovan
• 28:42
  Mitchell is out, I'm gonna have a ton of a ton of open looks
• 28:47
  going his way. Just the floor is really low even with him out,
• 28:52
  I think. But I don't think you can ignore that. I actually kind
• 28:56
  of overlooked isagu Koro. He's been playing a little bit better this year.
• 29:00
  You're adding he's had a couple of games in the thirties draftings points, So
• 29:03
  I think that you kind of have to look his way a little bit if
• 29:07
  if Donovan is out. I don't think I would play him if he's in
• 29:10
  at five point one K, but I would have more just if Donovan was
• 29:12
  out, for sure, just because they're gonna have no, like little scoring
• 29:17
  outside of Lavert and Max Strews. Somebody's gonna have to help this team score.
• 29:21
  And they're projected to get to score about one hundred and sixteen points tonight,
• 29:25
  so somebody's got to contribute to the scoring. So I think that he
• 29:27
  would definitely be in play if Donova is out. Yeah, I don't know.
• 29:33
  I mean they like Lavert off the bench, so I wouldn't be surprised
• 29:37
  if Craig Porter Junior started for Donovan. But I think if Craig Port Junior
• 29:41
  does not start, his minutes are pretty shaky. He's been kind of out
• 29:45
  of the rotation lately. So yeah, I don't I don't know if he's
• 29:49
  a if he's like a lock. If he's not starting for sure at four
• 29:53
  point four K, I think that the minutes could be very volatile for him
• 29:57
  because like Sam Merrill. Yeah, like if Craig Porter Junior doesn't start,
• 30:02
  I would not get to him like they have Sam Merrill that can play the
• 30:03
  same role. Just go back two days ago. He played twenty four minutes.
• 30:07
  He used to be at a buck too. He's a sniper, good
• 30:11
  solid player, but he put up thirty five DK points I mean six for
• 30:15
  eleven from the field, five from ten from deep. I would not be
• 30:18
  surprised. And if Sam Merrill started total, whoever starts at the one,
• 30:22
  I totally have interested. Even if Lavert comes off the bench, totally fine
• 30:26
  with it. The usage will be up there. It'll probably close in a
• 30:29
  close game, I would still love Lavert Strus. If it's Craig Porter starting
• 30:33
  or if it's Meryl starting, I would love them. The other one I
• 30:37
  probably couldn't get to you. Definitely risk there is how I'm seeing I agree.
• 30:41
  I agree with you on a coral. For sure, he's played better,
• 30:42
  especially if you pull up his last two games thirty one twenty nine DK
• 30:48
  points thirty two to thirty one minutes. But man, this dude three for
• 30:51
  five from deep, three for five from deep, eleven percent usage, thirteen
• 30:55
  percent usage. He fills up the peripherals a bit. Seven board, six
• 30:59
  boards. It's not the craziest thing, but he's five point one k and
• 31:03
  your knee. Hete is my coro hate. So I would hope he gets
• 31:06
  some steam and I would just be like, yeah, give me all these
• 31:07
  other guys over him. But he wouldn't be the worst play by any means.
• 31:11
  Yeah, I would agree with that. We didn't really touch on the
• 31:15
  jazz, so I'll touch on them really quick. Oh there's some value who
• 31:22
  Horford out there? We Goig figured Horford would be out thought one of Tatum
• 31:29
  or Jaylen Brown would be out. It definitely makes sense for Tatum to sit
• 31:32
  after last night. So yeah, Tyron Taylor, different sports. Sorry,
• 31:37
  Tyrone Taylor's gone. Man love playing him. He's on the Mets. Howser's
• 31:41
  gone. That's fine, he's cheeks. Tyrone Taylor is gonna hurt though.
• 31:45
  All right. So I mean now talking like the Achorros all the then the
• 31:48
  aangs of the world. This is the value like if mitches out still have
• 31:52
  interest in some of these caves, but it's a Celtics light, yeah for
• 31:56
  sure. Yeah, we'll definitely we'll touch on that kind of Uh yeah,
• 32:02
  it's kind of tough without projections updated right now, but I guess I mean
• 32:06
  we well, we kind of have an idea out. Yeah, projection will
• 32:10
  be that's a that's another reason to be at chippination dot com boom or we'll
• 32:14
  have them updated before the show ends. Check them out on the site.
• 32:17
  Fandel DraftKings Again, projections are key. They're automatically uploaded to our partner optimizer
• 32:22
  at Solvers. You can check that out. But yeah, we'll do we'll
• 32:25
  do the best we can without without projections updated right now for sure. Yeah.
• 32:32
  So yeah on the jazz side, sorry if we so, yeah,
• 32:37
  if we're gonna have a ton of interest in the cavside, especially if Donovan
• 32:40
  Mitchell is out. I don't think it's the craziest thing to maybe have a
• 32:45
  little bit of a correlation like add that into the solver. Say if if
• 32:50
  Donovan Mitchell, if you know, shrews LeVert, maybe boosts up some of
• 32:52
  these other jazz pieces just because the game is projected be pretty close, and
• 32:58
  it kind of it makes a little bit sense to pair your chalk pieces with
• 33:01
  somebody other side just to get a little bit of a different roster construction.
• 33:04
  So I think that Lori markin in returning from injury, got up to twenty
• 33:07
  nine ments last game we haven't projected for right around thirty two. I don't
• 33:10
  think that he's the craziest play at eight point three k He got up to
• 33:15
  forty DraftKings points in the last game in only twenty nine minutes. He's definitely
• 33:19
  got the upside. He's the lead scorer for this team when he's fully healthy.
• 33:23
  I really am kind of in on Collin Sexton tonight. I think that
• 33:28
  he's he's been kind of just handling the ball handling role really well since Kyante
• 33:32
  George went down third on the team in assist percentage, leads the team in
• 33:37
  usage. He's been shooting the ball really well sixty six percent true shooting average,
• 33:40
  so minutes have been increasing a bunch. Scoring has been there. Caves
• 33:45
  only have a lot of great on ball defenders. They're more much more dangerous
• 33:50
  down low in terms of their defense with Jared Allen, Evan Mobley type guys
• 33:52
  down low. But yeah, obviously being without Evan Mobley kind of makes him
• 33:57
  a little bit more vulnerable to scoring. And I think that con Sexton definitely
• 34:00
  has has a good amount of upside. At seven point two K. You
• 34:05
  would only need about forty three draftings points from him for him to six x
• 34:08
  his price tag, and I think he's definitely got that within his range of
• 34:12
  outcomes, just with how well he's been playing. And maybe he's a little
• 34:15
  bit extra motivated going against Cleveland. He was kind of drafted as the centerpiece
• 34:20
  of that team when he was there as a younger player. Then he obviously
• 34:24
  tore his acl Darris Garland came in, traded traded away for Donovan Mitchell kind
• 34:30
  of got thrown away. So maybe he's got a little bit of a Sara
• 34:32
  taste in his mouth from that so I don't I don't mind con Sexton at
• 34:36
  all. John Collins can't get him. He's gonna be on a pretty big
• 34:39
  minutes limit right now, returning from injury. THD also similar story. He's
• 34:44
  gonna see his minutes can kind of fluctuate, but he's gonna he's gonna chuck
• 34:47
  the ball when he's out there. Got got up nineteen shots in two out
• 34:52
  of last three games, pretty solid fantasy scores forty five and thirty eight in
• 34:55
  those games. So he's definitely in play. I think that I don't really
• 35:00
  I don't love it. I would much rather try to get up to sex
• 35:02
  and just I know that he's guaranteed his minutes, whereas things could kind of
• 35:07
  kind of bottom out for th a little bit. So not super into him.
• 35:10
  Uh. I like Walker Kesler too though, six point two k if
• 35:15
  he's getting thirty minutes, always been a really fantasy solid fantasy producer Jared Allen's
• 35:20
  not gonna pull him away from the rim. He's gonna gonna stay down there
• 35:22
  so he could see his rebounds shoot up. Obviously got the big block potential.
• 35:27
  Got had five last game, put up forty two draftings points in thirty
• 35:30
  two minutes, so I don't mind Walker Kessler at all. Actually, I
• 35:34
  really like him and con Sexton in this matchup. And then obviously all of
• 35:38
  the all the Donovan Mitchell stuff will kind of break that down in discord and
• 35:43
  projections will follow once we get the news for that. Yep, absolutely my
• 35:46
  final break quick breakdown D Mitch in probably with this Boston news probably would just
• 35:52
  be D Mitch or bust on that side. If he's out. I like
• 35:57
  Strews a lot, I like LeVert a lot. Whoever starts. If it
• 36:00
  is Craig Porter Merrill, I would like one of them. Otherwise I don't
• 36:05
  know. Probably no interest like a Coros than the ings of the world.
• 36:07
  Now that we have Boston, interest is much less on those guys. I
• 36:12
  get the Oldcorro play though. If D Mitch is out, then on the
• 36:15
  Utah side, sex and by far my favorite play, like we talk about
• 36:17
  it a lot, revenge. It matters a little bit to me, especially
• 36:21
  when you're a primarily ball handler. He can bring the ball up, you
• 36:23
  can chuck it when you want. He's already been playing very good as well.
• 36:27
  Minutes are there, so I'm definitely good with Colin Sexton and the more
• 36:30
  news we get in stuff could lower his ownership. And I don't mind Kessler.
• 36:34
  Yeah, if he gets thirty minutes always, especially on Fandel with the
• 36:37
  stock upside he has, center is completely loaded. I will say, I'm
• 36:40
  fandal. I don't think you can play him at seven point AK, but
• 36:44
  he just fits the scoring there better. Center's loaded on DK, which will
• 36:47
  keep his ownership really low. I don't mind that thirty two minutes last game
• 36:51
  forty two DK points, twenty six minutes three games ago forty five DK points,
• 36:55
  he'll be very low owned has upside there. So yeah, that's how
• 37:00
  I see it. Again. Projections our key, though, will be updated.
• 37:02
  D Mitch news very important. Let's keep it rolling. Next game on
• 37:06
  the slate, Boston Slate or the Boston News changed everything. Will do our
• 37:10
  best to discuss it, but again, all of our content behind the paywall

• 37:30
  well, next game on the slate, which will be very low owned Denver
• 37:35
  Nuggets Toronto Raptors two twenty eight total, Denvers favored by four. No injury
• 37:39
  news on either side. Don't think ownership will be on either side. My
• 37:45
  only interest is Yo get your bust again. This Boston news I think makes
• 37:49
  the yokiches the MP's more playable. Still means center is still completely loaded.
• 37:54
  So I still think their ownership is going to be in check. Maybe a
• 37:58
  couple percent more than it was, but nothing to worry about one bit.
• 38:00
  Sup ten percent is what I think. I don't know, man, I
• 38:04
  guess my question is Yo Kitch or embiid. I mean, we can't see
• 38:07
  the future. I always coin flip, that's how I see it. If
• 38:10
  you have a lean share, I don't have a lien. I mean maybe
• 38:15
  Yo Kitch, I guess I don't know. Do you have a lien on
• 38:16
  that? But it's only Yokitch your bust in this game for me. Yeah,
• 38:20
  I'm on the I'm on the EMBID side tonight. Unfortunately I normally take
• 38:23
  yokich aside. It doesn't got to be. Unfortunately I have no lean at
• 38:28
  all. So yeah, I mean I just I'm I'm a big fan of
• 38:30
  Jokic. I am. I always thought that he was a little bit he
• 38:34
  kind of deserved the MVP last year. But right now it's just Embiid is
• 38:37
  just playing too good and Yokich is playing honestly kind of bad. Right now,
• 38:42
  he's just I mean, yeah, stuff. He hasn't taken more than
• 38:46
  fifteen shots in a game in six straight. A couple of those were One
• 38:50
  of those was a blowout, the other one he got ejected in the first
• 38:52
  half, so don't really want to take that too much into account. But
• 38:54
  still, I mean, his his drafting scoring has been way down. Hasn't
• 38:59
  notched more than sixty five in seven straight games. Obviously two of those obviously
• 39:04
  were the blowout in the ejection, but still the last game, only got
• 39:08
  eight shots in twenty eight minutes and put up thirty two DraftKings points. It's
• 39:13
  just I don't know really what's going on right now. Maybe it's just the
• 39:15
  team getting healthy's getting Jamal Murray acclimated, getting him more involved. They're they're
• 39:21
  going a little bit deeper on their bench, adding in you know, Peyton
• 39:23
  Watson and Julian Straw the a little bit. Maybe that's taken away a little
• 39:27
  bit of usage and shots from him. But matchup wise, this is fine.
• 39:32
  Jaka Pearl pretty bad interior defender, but they they could throw a couple
• 39:37
  of different guys at him. I wouldn't be surprised to see even Ojan Andobi
• 39:43
  guard him. I think he's done that before in the past. But as
• 39:45
  long as Jaka Pearl is on him, he's gonna have a really big matchup
• 39:49
  advantage. So I think that obviously it's Joki. He can he can break
• 39:52
  the slate anytime he's on it. I just slightly lean embiid at the you
• 39:57
  know, similar price tag and everybody else in the Nuggets. I don't really
• 40:01
  have a ton of interest in Jamal Murray's kind of projecting as a positive value
• 40:05
  for us right now. But his he's gonna be on a minute limit for
• 40:08
  you know, a couple more games, most likely gonna be around twenty five
• 40:12
  to twenty eight minutes. So kind of tough to pay seven point two K
• 40:15
  when you have Colin Sexton right there next to him and he's going to see
• 40:19
  thirty two to thirty five minutes. So I would take him over Jamal a
• 40:25
  little bit of interest in Eric Aaron Gordon. He's been playing pretty well lately,
• 40:30
  pretty solid matchup, just the Raptors not great into your defense, and
• 40:35
  he's going to be looking to back door cut, looking for open lobs all
• 40:39
  game pretty much. And yeah, I mean he's done. He's done pretty
• 40:43
  good lately, thirty two straight or thirty two plus DK points and four out
• 40:46
  of his last five, so he's in He's in good form right now.
• 40:49
  So I don't think it's crazy to go to Aaron Gordon if you land on
• 40:52
  him at six point four K. But not a ton of interest on the
• 40:54
  Denver side outside of Jokic, and I don't really have much interest on the
• 40:59
  Toronto side. The Nuggets are getting They're gonna be really healthy with Casey bback,
• 41:02
  so it's gonna put KCP on Scottie Barnes. Ksep's a really solid defender,
• 41:07
  Aaron Gordon will be on Pascal Siakam, and Aaron Gord is one of
• 41:09
  the better defenders. So yeah, I'm kind of okay just getting away from
• 41:15
  Toronto and crossing out this game outside of jokicch pretty much glad we see it
• 41:20
  the same way, especially with this Boston News. It really condenses this light
• 41:22
  Yokich your buss for me, you prefer embiiding. It makes it makes total
• 41:27
  sense Ki. You look at the usage numbers. Definitely way down. I
• 41:30
  think it is trying to He likes getting his guys involved, get Murray back
• 41:34
  in the flow of things, get the offense rolling. He always has that
• 41:37
  upside though, So I'll side with you now with embid one hundred dollars difference.
• 41:42
  Again, both are going to be low owned though at a strong center
• 41:45
  position, and if d Mitch is in, I don't know, now we
• 41:47
  have more value. So I still don't think people get up to this range
• 41:51
  though there's enough strong plays in that ten k range. Let's keep it rolling.
• 41:54
  Next game on the slate definitely an important one in terms of d F
• 42:00
  New York Knicks Brooklyn nets two thirty two total knicks are favored by one on
• 42:05
  the knick side. Josh Hart is questionable. We got that news right before
• 42:08
  we came on the show, or right on the show. Midday downgrade.
• 42:13
  Jericho Sims is out, which means I don't know, Man, is it
• 42:16
  gonna be? Uh? Is it gonna be? TODs Gibson sliding into the
• 42:20
  starting lineup Hartenstein ran thirty eight minutes. If Hartenstein do, let me be
• 42:24
  the nick on the net side, no injury news we have to worry about.
• 42:28
  I'll say that first. Hartenstein is definitely one of the chalkiest options on
• 42:32
  the slate right now. If he doesn't start, I think that comes down
• 42:36
  a bit though, tell me how you see that thirty eight minutes though last
• 42:38
  game definitely something you can't ignore. Claxton on the other side, I think
• 42:44
  those will be especially coming into the show the two most popular centers now maybe
• 42:47
  with this Boston at Horford News that changes a bit Center's lowered regardless though,
• 42:52
  touch on Claxon Hartenstein without Jericho Simms and then Julius Randall's gonna get some ownership.
• 42:59
  I think Mickel Bridges is a solid play. I don't think like the
• 43:02
  Quickly's now. I think Quickly before we came on the show five point two
• 43:07
  k was fine. Don't love it now at all? With the Boston News,
• 43:13
  does Josh hart News do anything for you as well? So break down
• 43:15
  that, but mainly touch on the Hert and Stegin. Do you think it's
• 43:17
  gonna be toaj starting? Do you think Hartenstein gets the nod? What do
• 43:20
  you see there, man, I don't know. I really hope it's not
• 43:23
  Taj, because then we're gonna kind of have to ask ourselves a tough question
• 43:28
  if we're gonna play him at three K. Yeah, I don't know that.
• 43:32
  I just Thibodau would be just the biggest donkey if he did start Tage
• 43:36
  Gibson. I mean he's forty nine years old. Yeah, this is a
• 43:38
  guy you just can't You can't run out Taj Gibson for more than five minutes
• 43:44
  in a game right now, just at his age, it just makes so
• 43:47
  much sense to start Hartenstein. He's I mean, he played thirty eight minutes,
• 43:52
  like you said, last thirty nine minutes last game. And he's a
• 43:54
  good player like Hartenstein's a really good player, one of the better backup centers
• 43:58
  in the league, I think, so, I think it makes a ton
• 44:00
  of sense to start him, and I kind of agree with the ownership on
• 44:04
  these guys. I mean, Claxon, it's a good matchup, way better
• 44:07
  matchup than it was before with Mitchell Robinson in there. Obviously, Mitchell Robinson
• 44:10
  one of the better rim protectors in the league, really underrated defender and player
• 44:15
  as just in general, but the next interior defense has taken a huge hit
• 44:22
  with no Mitchell Robinson in there. And we've seen Claxton have good games in
• 44:25
  good matchups, and this is definitely a good matchup. So if you give
• 44:29
  me thirty two to thirty four minutes of Nick Claxon, I think he could
• 44:31
  definitely pay off this tag in a big way. So I like him a
• 44:35
  lot. Outside of him, I struggled to get to some of these nets
• 44:42
  guys just the their coaches kind of talked about them kind of spreading their guys
• 44:45
  a little too thin. They're playing a ton of minutes, had a really
• 44:47
  big, really big road stretch, a road trip on the West coast,
• 44:53
  played in Utah, and they you know, obviously playing in elevation definitely tires
• 44:57
  you out. So I think these guys could be be pretty tired just traveling
• 45:00
  a lot over the last couple of days, and maybe they kind of stretch
• 45:05
  out the rotation a little bit. I mean, they don't have a ton
• 45:07
  of guys with not having Dennis Smith Junior and Lonnie Walker in there, so
• 45:12
  they they're kind of forced to play them a lot. I think that just
• 45:15
  the grouping of like the Dinwoodie, mchal Bridges, Cam Thomas. I will
• 45:19
  take Cam Thomas just he's kind of rounding it to for him again obviously burned
• 45:22
  us was it last a couple of days, a couple of games ago against
• 45:27
  the Atlanta where he put up a stinker, put up six point twenty five
• 45:30
  fantasy points. But he's kind of back now taking a ton of shots.
• 45:34
  Last two games twenty four and twenty three field goal attempts, put up fifty
• 45:37
  two to forty six draftings points. Matchup is actually not that bad considering just
• 45:44
  some of the defenders on the on the knick side, especially if Josh Hartwood
• 45:46
  to miss. I think that camp Thomas has kind of set up pretty nicely
• 45:50
  against like a Jalen Brunson or Dante de Vincenzo type of player. So he
• 45:54
  would be my favorite net outside of outside of Claxton. Yeah, I won't
• 46:01
  get to Cam Johnson here. I just think that his minutes could really come
• 46:04
  down a lot. I think that Dorian Phinnick Smith makes a ton of sense
• 46:08
  to get out there for extra minutes for his defense on Julius Randall. So
• 46:13
  I think Cam Johnson is pretty pretty volatile on a slate and then on the
• 46:16
  Nick side. Usually I'm on the Randall side in terms of him versus Brunson,
• 46:22
  but I think I'm more on Brunson here. I mean talking about it.
• 46:27
  He's two percent versus twenty two percent to Julius Randall's and you know,
• 46:30
  same price tag, different different positions. I get that, but the matchup
• 46:36
  is not is really not all that good for Julius Randall is gonna gonna have
• 46:39
  Dorian Finnish Smith and and Nick Claxon down there kind of just showing up the
• 46:45
  interior defense, so it's tough. Obviously, Randall's gonna have a ton of
• 46:49
  usage. He's a black hole on offense, so he could definitely go out
• 46:52
  there and just bully ball his way to fifteen to twenty free throws and put
• 46:55
  up a big score. But I don't see him being super efficient in this
• 46:59
  matchup. I think that it's a little bit better for Brunson, where the
• 47:02
  nets are kind of struggling versus three point shooters, they're a little bit more
• 47:07
  susceptible to on ball scores give up a ton of points off of a like
• 47:12
  dribble drive type stuff. So I think Brunson has set up a little bit
• 47:14
  better here at eight point six K. I prefer him already touched on Harnstein,
• 47:19
  I think is a great play. If he's starting, probably fine.
• 47:22
  Even if he's not starting, I think he'll still see starter like minutes,
• 47:24
  maybe not forty minutes, but maybe thirty four or thirty five minutes. And
• 47:30
  yeah, I mean, if if Heart were to be ruled out, I
• 47:32
  think that's what that's gonna do, is just kind of give a bigger minute
• 47:37
  ceiling to guys like RJ. Barrett, Devincenzo, Gonna give Quinn Grime some
• 47:40
  more minutes too. I think those would be the main guys that be that
• 47:44
  would be affected. I don't think that really changes much for quickly, more
• 47:46
  so the three to four type of guys like Devincenzo, Barrett and and Grimes.
• 47:53
  Yeah, there's a there's some decent fantasy plays in this game, for
• 47:58
  sure. I think that Brunson is kind of a nice loan piece in this
• 48:01
  game. Yeah, I can always definitely get behind Low and Brunson. So
• 48:06
  let's just fast forward quick to the Boston News, because I think it's important
• 48:09
  at center. So Horford was doubtful, Tatum was Tatum is now out,
• 48:15
  which he was projected to play. Porzingis does have power forward elgibility. Lamar
• 48:20
  Stevens has power forward eligibility, but is it God like? I think they
• 48:23
  could go. I'm not sure they go Unmaskita, which some people were talking
• 48:30
  about in chat, because if it was him, he'd be the chock starting
• 48:34
  center. They didn't roll him last time. I think they probably go KP
• 48:37
  at the five against the bonus and then they can go. Either Stevens or
• 48:40
  Houser is how I'm picturing it. But if it was Keita, however you
• 48:46
  pronounced Dud's name at four point four k like, that would definitely eat it.
• 48:51
  I mean we won't know that news though, so pretty much what I'm
• 48:52
  saying, Hart Andstein class and I still think will be the highest owned centers
• 48:55
  as of now. But that game is on the island at the end of
• 49:00
  the nights. How do you see that starting? Do you think? I
• 49:01
  think it's probably gonna be Stevens or Houser. I'd be a little surprised.
• 49:06
  I don't know, though, what's your lean on that. I think they
• 49:07
  go KP at the five. Yeah, I think it'll be KP at the
• 49:10
  five and then Houser sliding in for for Tatum. They pretty much used him
• 49:15
  to slide in for anybody. It's kind of like the Justin Holiday on the
• 49:20
  Nuggets, like whenever somebody won through four misses, they can just kind of
• 49:22
  slide in Houser. He fits in a lot of a lot of builds.
• 49:25
  So yeah, so I think that's probably Houser definitely will see backup center minutes
• 49:31
  from Cada, and he is a solid fantasy permitted guy. Uh, even
• 49:37
  that one slate where everybody played him and he wasn't starting, everybody was worried.
• 49:40
  I think he still got up to sixteen or twenty draftings points whatever it
• 49:45
  was. I guess that more too. If you got like four fouls and
• 49:50
  ten minutes or so, it was ridiculous. And he's still kind of got
• 49:52
  there, I guess. So yeah, that's how Boomer has. He thinks
• 49:57
  it's going to be Houser at the four, Porzingis at the five to cool.
• 50:00
  So we'll go on that. We'll touch on Porzingis when we get They're
• 50:01
  definitely a good play though, but it's worth mentioning because center is bloaded and
• 50:07
  I still do think Hartenstein and Claxton will be two of the most popular centers
• 50:10
  right now in this game. I like your Brunson shout, though for sure
• 50:14
  the ownership difference between Randall and Brunson feels way too wide. Randa's still a
• 50:19
  solid play though. Next game on the slates, we got Los Angeles Lakers
• 50:22
  taking on the Chicago Bulls two twenty four total. Lakers are favored by four
• 50:27
  lakerside. Ad and Lebron are questionable, like they are every day. I'm
• 50:30
  just expecting them to play on the bull side. Zach Levine is out,
• 50:35
  Tory Craig is out. I don't know, man, I think Ad Lebron.
• 50:39
  I think they're both interesting contrarian spens. I think I like them more
• 50:44
  than I don't know like the MB's the jokiches that one case savings pretty big.
• 50:49
  We do have some value on Boston, but I still think I prefer
• 50:52
  the one case savings. Not sure I would. I'd prefer d Mitch though
• 50:57
  if he was playing at ten K ownership, though, would definitely follow there.
• 51:00
  I would definitely make a role next one Ad Lebron. Any thoughts on
• 51:06
  that. I do like the power forward eligibility for Ad on the bull side.
• 51:09
  Center's loaded, but vouch I think he's an interesting center center play Kobe
• 51:15
  White at ak Man. You look at that price and you're like, what
• 51:17
  is going on? He's been He's been insane. Thirty eight to thirty nine,
• 51:22
  upper thirties minutes every game, forty nine, forty one, fifty six,
• 51:25
  forty seven. Usage is there, peripherals are there. Ak feels crazy.
• 51:30
  But man, I think Kobe White's a little interesting in the spot interesting
• 51:35
  game here for me? What do you see? Yeah, this is definitely
• 51:37
  a very interesting game. Tale of two stories here. Lakers one of the
• 51:43
  best rim defenses in the league, but they're just bleeding three pointers this year,
• 51:46
  allowing the fourth most per game, and the Bulls are giving up the
• 51:50
  second most three pointers per game. But going against the Lakers team that is
• 51:53
  scoring the third most points at the rim, So you gotta gotta think about
• 51:59
  how the Lakers are gonna attack it. Obviously makes a ton of sense to
• 52:01
  get their shooters more involved, you know, Austin Reeve, Daniel Russell,
• 52:05
  Tooring Prince, all those type of guys. They're definitely not in play,
• 52:08
  But yeah, you just got to think about how they're gonna attack it.
• 52:15
  Yeah, on the Lakers side, I have more interest in Anthony Davis than
• 52:17
  Lebron in this one. Just Lebron's gonna run into a tougher matchup, I
• 52:22
  guess versus Patrick Williams Vucevich is not the toughest or the easiest matchups about about
• 52:28
  neutral. But Anthony Davis just been playing really good lately, just been the
• 52:32
  focal point of the offense over the past four games. He scored no less
• 52:36
  than thirty two points over the last four games. And this is you know,
• 52:39
  this could be another hometown narrative type thing. He's from that Chicago area,
• 52:44
  so gonna be going back home. And last time we played in Chicago,
• 52:47
  we went for thirty eight, nine and four, So I kind of
• 52:52
  like Anthony Davis. It's really nice of DraftKings to give us the power forward
• 52:57
  eligibility too, so we don't have to have to waste the centers probab.
• 53:00
  We could still go double center and get up to Anthony Davis, which I
• 53:02
  like a lot. He's definitely my favorite playing the Lakers and probably the only
• 53:07
  one I'm looking towards. Lebron is always fine, but he got a triple
• 53:12
  double last game, had a nice sixty one pointer. Yep. I don't
• 53:16
  know. I think I just I side with ad here. He's been just
• 53:21
  showing a ton of upside lately and I like the matchup a little bit better
• 53:23
  for him. And on the bull side, yeah, Kobe White just been
• 53:29
  playing out of his mind, playing as like, really a top five,
• 53:31
  top ten player over the last like two weeks. He's just been crushing,
• 53:36
  logging a ton of minutes thirty five minutes in nine straight games, with a
• 53:39
  lot of those games hovering around forty minutes, and the usage has been good.
• 53:45
  He's shooting extremely efficiently from three and gets one of the best best matchups
• 53:52
  for three point shooters. And we already know that the Lakers kind of struggle
• 53:55
  with their guard defense on ball defense. I'm pretty insto Kobe White here.
• 54:00
  I think he's a really interesting spend up, if you want to call it
• 54:06
  that. At a K not gonna come with a ton of ownership. People
• 54:07
  just refuse to play him. I know that Penzak is probably excited to play
• 54:12
  him again. So definitely definitely like Kobe White a lot a little bit less
• 54:15
  interested in Damar and Vouch. I really don't ever like playing Damar, especially
• 54:22
  when he's priced around all these same guys, just if you get me Damar
• 54:24
  at like seven point five k, seven point four K, I'll consider it,
• 54:28
  But just don't see a ton of upside from him personally. And yeah,
• 54:34
  is gonna have a tough matchup. Definitely has a pathway to some upside
• 54:37
  if he decides to get more involved as a passer. He's had some pretty
• 54:39
  decent assist numbers lately. Also a good good match up for three point shooters
• 54:45
  he's been taking a little bit more, and it could be a game where
• 54:47
  he just randomly shoots seven eight of them and makes four, four or five
• 54:51
  of them. He's gonna be left open a ton. So he definitely has
• 54:53
  a pathway to some upside, but pretty big opportunity costs at center when we
• 54:59
  know that we want to spend down a little bit at the position. Yeah,
• 55:05
  I still think Vooch is fine as a contrarian spin I like Ad more
• 55:07
  than Lebron. I was looking at our guy Boomer, So projections are updated.
• 55:13
  We're assuming Howser does start at the four. And Boomer talking about our
• 55:16
  new correlation tool that has came out. AD d LO have hit five x
• 55:22
  together ten times, and Neil said, is this is our new correlation sheet.
• 55:28
  It came out soft launch a couple of days ago. We need a
• 55:30
  data for this twenty twenty three season, so it is up. The more
• 55:34
  data we get, the better it is. It is behind the paywall,
• 55:37
  though, so make sure to check it out the Ceiling Rankings tool. The
• 55:39
  more data we have, the better the tools get and they've helped people win
• 55:43
  some cheese. So awesome stuff there from Boomer and projections are updated again to
• 55:47
  account for the Boston News that we'll get to in a couple of games.
• 55:52
  Again. If you do head over to ship in nation dot com and want
• 55:54
  to give us a try, use that promo code Mayo get you ten percent
• 55:58
  off next game on the sleigh. We got three games left. Man,
• 56:02
  this can I cannot wait to get these monitors. Atlanta Hawks Houston Rocket is
• 56:06
  two thirty three total. Houston is favored by three and a half. On
• 56:08
  the injury report, bog Don Bgdanovic is questionable. I don't know if you
• 56:14
  saw him rapping. Maybe he got hurt rapping, but very interesting is it?
• 56:17
  It was solid, It was solid. He is questionable. Nothing else
• 56:22
  on the other side as far as Houston, Tarry Easton's questionable that was a
• 56:25
  midday downgrade right before we got on the show. Jay Sean Tait is questionable.
• 56:31
  A Men Thompson is questionable. I mean, if all those guys miss,
• 56:36
  they'll be pretty thin at the forward spot. Dylan brouchs to play all
• 56:38
  the minutes he can handle, Javari Smith, Jalen Green maybe does the tar
• 56:45
  Easan's been playing great ball as well, so I think that's kind of important
• 56:49
  news on this late touch on thoughts there Sengoon, I don't know. I
• 56:52
  think I'd rather save a little bit and go Vooch. But another contrarian spen
• 56:57
  who's gonna get no ownership, Fred van Vlietz. I think price take good
• 57:00
  play and if Target Easten's out, I do have interest in Jabari Smid.
• 57:04
  That six to one Hawks I tough for me to get to. It would
• 57:07
  probably just be Tray as a contrarian spender boss, but I don't love it
• 57:10
  against Fred van Bleet and the crew. So touch out in that Houston New
• 57:14
  Zoe. Yeah, I mean I'm pretty much in agreement with you. I
• 57:16
  mean, the Hawks are one of the best teams to attack from a fantasy
• 57:19
  standpoint. They're bottom of the league in a lot of defensive metrics, bottom
• 57:23
  three rim defense, bottom four overall defense. They're a top five paced team,
• 57:28
  bottom three transition points allowed, and I mean even on top of that,
• 57:31
  they're allowing the ten most three pointers per game. And then the Rockets
• 57:37
  are pretty much on the other side of the spectrum, top two and D
• 57:38
  rating, bottom two and pace first and transition defense and top four and three
• 57:43
  point defense. So definitely have more interest on the the Rocket side of this
• 57:47
  game. But I definitely got to mention Trey Young. He's been playing great
• 57:51
  ball lately. Two four straight games of at least thirty one real points,
• 57:54
  stan ten assist and scored no less than fifty nine and a half draftings points
• 58:00
  over that span. A tough matchup versus Dylan Brooks, for sure. We
• 58:04
  always always kind of shoot on Dylan Brooks for being, you know, just
• 58:07
  for all the antics and everything. But all that aside, he's definitely one
• 58:10
  of the best defenders in the league and he has been for a few years.
• 58:15
  He held Trade to twenty eight points two rebounds of tennisis last year in
• 58:19
  the only matchup, and I don't think that you'd really be happy with that
• 58:22
  At ten point five K Trey is obviously capable of beating any bad matchup,
• 58:25
  but I have a lot of respect for Dylan Brooks as a defender, so
• 58:29
  I think I'm gonna be off of Trey, And yeah, everybody else on
• 58:32
  the Hawks pretty priced up, so I'm fine getting away from them in this
• 58:37
  matchup. Just think that there's better places to look, and then yeah,
• 58:40
  the Rockets. I have a ton of interest in Sengoon here. You're not
• 58:45
  gonna get any ownership just with him being center eligible. Eight point six K
• 58:49
  tough price, sag to pay, but he's had a couple bad games of
• 58:52
  you know, stretch of really tough matchups, and this is one of the
• 58:55
  best ones in the league, so I think that he could definitely put up
• 58:58
  a big boys score here at a point six K. Definitely prefer him to
• 59:01
  Fred van Fleet, who's gonna have a much tougher defender and Dejonte Murray on
• 59:06
  him. And that's that alone is enough for me to get off of Fred
• 59:07
  van Fleet, So I'm off of him. More on Sangoon Jalen Green sneaky,
• 59:14
  good matchup for him too. He's gonna see Trey Young on defense,
• 59:15
  and Trey is just a turnstile Jalen Green doing a really good job of scoring
• 59:22
  at the at the Rim this year and going to have little to no resistance
• 59:24
  with Capella down there. Just the minutes are pretty volatile for him. He
• 59:30
  has the capability to put up a big scoring night, but how much does
• 59:34
  he really add outside of that. I think that he's very scoring dependant right
• 59:37
  now. Six point four K is definitely a reasonable price tag for him,
• 59:42
  so I think he can make your playpool. But he's not a smash play
• 59:44
  by any means, and I think that projections would definitely tell you that he's
• 59:47
  not projected for He's a slightly positive value right now. And yeah, man,
• 59:52
  I wish I hope that's our Easton plays because I have a ton of
• 59:54
  interest in him here. He's been seeing a ton of minutes, more minutes
• 59:59
  than he norm was up to thirty three and thirty and back to back games.
• 1:00:02
  He's just a fantasy point from it. A stud matchup is going to
• 1:00:07
  be great for him with just you know, transition points, the rebounding,
• 1:00:10
  the interior scoring. So I think that he is my price adjusted favorite play
• 1:00:17
  on the Rockets. If he's in, I'm kind of treating it as more
• 1:00:22
  probable, just because they've they've done this a couple of times with him,
• 1:00:24
  where they'll downgrade him in the middle of the day. So I think that
• 1:00:30
  I think he probably plays and he maybe the ownership comes down with people being
• 1:00:35
  scared off of it knowing that the game starts at an hour after the other
• 1:00:37
  games start. So I like him a lot, And yeah, if he's
• 1:00:42
  out, going to give a bigger minute boost to Jabari Smith. I think
• 1:00:45
  you gotta be a max one of Jabari Smith and Tari Easton if you're keeping
• 1:00:49
  both of them in your playpool, because they directly negatively correlate to each other.
• 1:00:54
  But yeah, a lot of interest on the rocket side, mainly in
• 1:00:57
  Sengun and Tari Easton and then some of the other secondary guys a little bit.
• 1:01:01
  Yeah, easy for Tar Easton six point one K. Jabari Smith's six
• 1:01:06
  point one K Jabari is just power forward eligibility, where Easton has small forward
• 1:01:10
  and power forward eligibility. But very easy there. I prefer Easton just like
• 1:01:14
  you do. If he's out, you can literally global swat Easton too,
• 1:01:19
  Jabari Smith, assuming you have no small forward or you don't have him in
• 1:01:22
  small forward at all, which is games a little later than the others,
• 1:01:25
  so easy pivot right there. I did want shout out cool hands. I
• 1:01:30
  saw this message earlier, very very much appreciated. See you in here a
• 1:01:34
  lot. So much has been going on though you said that what thirty minutes
• 1:01:37
  ago almost so if you're still hanging out, much appreciated right there. Why
• 1:01:43
  would Dejontay not guard Jalen Green because Fred and Lisa better better offensive threat?
• 1:01:47
  Is my thoughts, and I think your thoughts as well. But it's yeah,
• 1:01:52
  we talked about an individual right here. Yeah, it's that and and
• 1:01:55
  this so but yeah, I was gonna say nowadays, I mean with how
• 1:02:00
  the NBA is, the picking rolls and all that, I mean, it's
• 1:02:02
  hard. I try not to look at that stuff too much. I just
• 1:02:06
  anytime you say to John State always brings me back to him when he played
• 1:02:08
  ty Resee and ty Reese just did his thing. But when you're comparing two
• 1:02:13
  things that are pretty close leading into individual matchups, Dejanta is a great defender
• 1:02:16
  like Patrick Williams. You mentioned herb Jones of the world even though jah Josh
• 1:02:22
  showed him there. But I do agree with you there. Yeah, speaking
• 1:02:25
  a job man, that was cool. What's going on, Danny? Yeah,
• 1:02:30
  great game for sure. What's going on Danny Florida? What's going on
• 1:02:34
  as well? We got two games left on the slates, and again the
• 1:02:37
  Boston ownership or the Boston projections are updated, assuming Sam Houser does start.
• 1:02:42
  Two games left man Los Angeles Clippers Dallas Mavericks two thirty six total. Clippers
• 1:02:46
  are favored by two. On the Clipper side. Important news, Paul George
• 1:02:51
  questionable, Norman Powell questionable both within illness. Half the leads questionable with in
• 1:02:55
  illness. As far as the Dallas side, Kyrie's out there or Lively's out.
• 1:03:00
  No changes there. In terms of ownership in this game, I think
• 1:03:05
  Derek Jones might get a little bit at five K. Again, it's just
• 1:03:07
  the lack of value. And when we get to the Boss's side updated Boomers
• 1:03:12
  projections, they aren't popping crazy value right now. A lot of them are
• 1:03:15
  priced up. So I do think Derek Jones, I think we might have
• 1:03:24
  lost title town all right, so I will be I'll take over some hosting
• 1:03:30
  duties for these last two games. Hopefully, hopefully we get him back.
• 1:03:36
  Let me know if you guys can hear me I'm not sure if it's just
• 1:03:38
  Title. If it's I, it's me out. Also, all right,
• 1:03:54
  you guys might popular. Oh all right, I'm gonna shoot title message really
• 1:04:03
  quick and let him know. Are you there? So? Yeah? Yeah,
• 1:04:14
  I can hear you. You're breaking up a little bit though. All
• 1:04:19
  Right, I'm gonna let let Title handle that and I'll just talk about this
• 1:04:23
  game really quick. Yeah. You talking about Derek Jones Junior again, a
• 1:04:26
  little bit of ownership. I think that's just the positional stuff. Pretty solid
• 1:04:30
  price tag for him at five K. Yeah, I mean this is a
• 1:04:32
  pretty good spot to attack, for sure. I think. I mean,
• 1:04:35
  the Clippers have been on a roll lately, winners of eight straight games.
• 1:04:39
  Mavericks are really struggling defensively, especially on the interior with with Derek Lively missing
• 1:04:44
  some games. So there's a clear pathway to a couple of big fantasy scores
• 1:04:46
  on the Clippers side, especially if one of Paul George were to miss,
• 1:04:51
  or even both of him and Norm Powell. I think that you could go
• 1:04:57
  right back to James Harden and Kawhi Leonard Kawhi. See's a really big uptacking
• 1:05:01
  usage with Paul George off the floor, and he's gonna run into a tougher
• 1:05:05
  defender. Grant Williams don't want to read into that too much. Just the
• 1:05:08
  interior defense of the the Mavericks has been so bad lately that I think that
• 1:05:13
  and Kawhi is playing some of his best ball of his career right now,
• 1:05:15
  So I think you could definitely safely go right back to Kawhi and feel pretty
• 1:05:18
  good about it. At eight point seven K. I mean, he's projecting
• 1:05:20
  as a positive value right now, even with Paul George projected in, So
• 1:05:27
  definitely don't like, don't mind Kawhi if Paul George is out, have a
• 1:05:30
  ton of interest in James Harden. I mean, he's he's all the way
• 1:05:33
  back. He's put on a show last game against Indy in the fourth quarter,
• 1:05:39
  put up sixty DraftKings points in only twenty eight minutes and two games ago
• 1:05:45
  when when Paul George missed he went for seventy one DK points, so we
• 1:05:50
  know that the huge, massive upside from him is still in the range of
• 1:05:55
  outcomes. And if the Clippers are without Norm Powell, and I mean so
• 1:06:00
  a lesser degree bones Highland matters. But that's just that's one less person that's
• 1:06:02
  gonna be handling the balls. I think you could see a pretty big usage
• 1:06:06
  and time of position game from James Harden here, and with the Mavericks losing
• 1:06:11
  Derek Lively, download could see him get a ton of easy looks around the
• 1:06:14
  basket. So I have a ton of interest in James Harden for sure.
• 1:06:16
  All of this would change if Paul George is in. I think you just
• 1:06:18
  want to be max one of the situation with Harden, Kawhi and Paul George,
• 1:06:23
  but I think all of them would are very much in play with how
• 1:06:25
  the Mavericks have been playing defensively lately. And on the Mavericks side, yeah,
• 1:06:31
  Luca gonna put the team on his back here. He has been been
• 1:06:33
  doing that ever since Kyrie went down to injury. I think he's averaging right
• 1:06:38
  around a triple double since Kyrie has missed, averaging around forty minutes a game,
• 1:06:43
  and he's had a ton of success versus this Clippers team historically, I
• 1:06:45
  mean dated back even to November tenth, he went for forty four to six
• 1:06:49
  and six and thirty two minutes. Next time they played, it was a
• 1:06:54
  little bit of a blowout. He only got up to thirty thirty points,
• 1:06:57
  three rebounds, and four assists, But that was with Kyrie in the lineup,
• 1:07:00
  and with Kyrie out, he's gonna see huge minutes. I think as
• 1:07:03
  a ton of upside here. I think that it's it's him and and beat
• 1:07:06
  up top for sure. I have a I think I have a slight lean
• 1:07:10
  to Luca right now, just with they're being more value at the center spot.
• 1:07:15
  But yeah, great spot for him too. And then the secondary guys
• 1:07:19
  on the Mavericks are definitely in play as well. Tim Hardway Junior, Derek
• 1:07:23
  Jones junior, Grant Williams gonna have a ton of open looks from three,
• 1:07:26
  especially if the Clippers do succeed in shutting down Luca. I think that the
• 1:07:30
  way to do that is by blitzing him with a bunch of double teams,
• 1:07:32
  and that would open up open up a ton of open looks for all these
• 1:07:36
  guys. Tim Hardway Junior is definitely guy have the most interest in. He's
• 1:07:40
  shown the most upside when Kyrie has missed, and his minutes should be really
• 1:07:43
  secure with the Mavericks needing more scoring outside of Luka Doncics, So yeah,
• 1:07:48
  really good game like Harden and Kawhi Pg's out and I really like Luca regardless
• 1:07:54
  and THHJ behind him. I'm not gonna mess with the outlook of this.
• 1:08:02
  Uh all right, Yeah, last game of the night, we got Boston
• 1:08:08
  taking on Sacramento Kings, looking at a two thirty seven and a half point
• 1:08:12
  total, with Sacramento favored by three. Boston obviously on the back to back,
• 1:08:16
  gonna be without without Jason Tatum, without Al Horford. So we'll see
• 1:08:21
  probably see Christops back. I don't know if we've if we've got news about
• 1:08:25
  him returning yet. I think he was still questionable, but he'll be back.
• 1:08:28
  Should slide into the starting center spot, and we should see a ton
• 1:08:32
  of usage flow to uh Jalen Brown, Derek White. Should see Sam Hauser
• 1:08:36
  into the starting lineup as well, with Nimius Quota backing up christophs Porzingis got
• 1:08:43
  him projected for around eighteen minutes. I think that he's a fine value at
• 1:08:47
  four point four k. Yeah, I think I think he's okay a little
• 1:08:55
  bit. He got definitely a price increase. I think he's definitely better than
• 1:08:59
  Lamar Stevens said. All the other guys that are priced in the three ks
• 1:09:02
  but he's not not a smash value by any means. I think the guy
• 1:09:08
  that have the most interest in on the clip or the Celtic side would be
• 1:09:12
  Derek White. He sees the biggest usage bump on the team when when both
• 1:09:16
  Al Horford and Jason Tatum are off the court up to thirty one, the
• 1:09:24
  assist numbers are okay. I think the Draftings scoring gets gets a big boose
• 1:09:28
  as well. Jalen Brown obviously the guy that's going to lead the team in
• 1:09:30
  usage with all these guys off the court. He's been playing really good ball
• 1:09:34
  lately. I think a point a is a pretty fair price tag for him.
• 1:09:38
  Should see pretty heavy minutes and this is gonna be a pace up spot.
• 1:09:41
  So I don't mind both of Derek White and Jalen Brown. Again here,
• 1:09:45
  Drew Holliday to a lesser degree, I'm okay with him. Seven k's
• 1:09:48
  just his his scoring, just everything, his just fantasy output is way down
• 1:09:53
  on the year. He hasn't topped thirty Draftings points in five straight games and
• 1:09:59
  really hasn't even got i mean past thirty seven DK points and a long time.
• 1:10:04
  So I'm find getting away from Drew and just focusing on Jalen Brown,
• 1:10:08
  Derek White, Sam Hauser is little two priced up for me at five point
• 1:10:13
  three K, but I think that he's I don't know. I think there's
• 1:10:18
  there's probably better options. I think I prefer the Mavericks guys, the Grant
• 1:10:23
  Williams and and Derek Jones Junior a little bit better than Sam Houser. I
• 1:10:26
  think he's just way too scoring dependent and this is not really a great matchup
• 1:10:31
  for three point shooter. Sacramento does a pretty good job of taking that away.
• 1:10:34
  And then yeah, now that we know that Al Horford is going to
• 1:10:38
  be out, I think that gives Demanta Sabonis a much easier matchup. Horford
• 1:10:43
  is one of the better defenders down low, and I think Chris hops perzingis
• 1:10:47
  is okay. He's a really good shot blocker, but not really known as
• 1:10:50
  a physical presence down lows. And I think Sabonis has been kind of rounding
• 1:10:55
  back into form lately. Assist numbers are backup, rebounding is up, scoring
• 1:10:58
  is up, and the Kings are playing much faster, which is creating better
• 1:11:01
  game environments. I think that he's very much in play a little bit way
• 1:11:06
  tougher match for Deer and Fox going against Drew Holliday and Derek White. So
• 1:11:12
  I think that you know, it is opportunity costs at center. You're paying
• 1:11:15
  up at you know, almost ten K for Demonta sabonas when there's a lot
• 1:11:19
  better value plays in terms of point per dollar. But he'll come in with
• 1:11:25
  no ownership and he's he's shown it just one game ago putting up almost seventy
• 1:11:30
  draftings points. Obviously was against the worst defense in the league in the Washington
• 1:11:33
  Wizards, but he's still got that upside regardless of matchups. I like Sabona's
• 1:11:38
  a good amount. Yeah, I mean sneaky spot. I guess for Kevin
• 1:11:43
  Herder from Alik monkword have missed that would definitely free up his minutes. I
• 1:11:46
  don't know if you're gonna go there only shooting guard eligible five point four K,
• 1:11:49
  but you know, maybe just with the Kings playing faster in pace,
• 1:11:54
  he could get there from a minute standpoint, But I'm not really looking there.
• 1:11:58
  It's mainly just Sabonis and Deer and Fox on the King side, and
• 1:12:00
  then on the Celtics side, Jalen Brown Derek White would be the priority,
• 1:12:06
  and then to a lesser degree nemus Quita would be in play for me,
• 1:12:13
  but yeah, that's gonna that's gonna do it. Apologize for a title losing
• 1:12:18
  connection and you guys having to deal with me as the host. Don't really
• 1:12:21
  do this very often. Hopefully we won't have to do it again soon,
• 1:12:25
  but we'll get his his WiFi squared away. But yeah, as always,
• 1:12:30
  thank you guys so much for hanging around and bearing with me, and we'll
• 1:12:34
  keep you guys updated in the discord throughout the day when we get more injury
• 1:12:38
  news, when the projections update all that stuff. So good luck everybody tonight.
• 1:12:42
  Let's see some ship at logos up top, see you later. Still
• 1:13:06
  still have them still and stand still and pans mom still as still
