0:54
NFL two gamer today, a big NBA slay going on today. Tomorrow NFL

1:03
tons of money to be made. When we are recording this, FanDuel pricing
1:07
is out. DK pricing is not out right now. We're gonna mainly go
1:11
be talking matchups. We do have spreads. We do have some totals.
1:15
I see the total for the Bucks game. I don't see it for the
1:18
other four games. But on Drafting Sportsbook we do have the spreads. Again,
1:22
we have FanDuel pricing. We'll go game by game like always, mainly
1:26
touch on matchups. Our man Rio does a great job with that. We'll
1:30
deep dive there. But of course get over to shiping Nation dot com.
1:33
When pricing everything does come out. Projections Cash Report, Core Report, Ceiling
1:38
rankings, everything you're used to. We will have live content all week and
1:42
long. It's the holidays. We're busy over here. That's why recording on
1:46
Saturday. Got some family to take care of tomorrow and on Monday. But
1:49
gotta talk. Gotta help the people out. First, Rio quick hit before
1:53
I throw it to you. It's back baby. Our sponsored drafters. Use
1:57

2:00
hundred dollars. Playoff Bastball. We're gonna have some shows coming out starting next
2:05

2:14

2:16
on Thursday with our man Pooka and Stafford. We'll throw it to you man.
2:22
How's how's everything going? Christmas coming up? Any big plans? Excited
2:25
for some NBA hoops on Christmas Day? Hey? Yeah, definitely excited for
2:30
some some hoops. I'd be spending the Christmas with my family out in Palm
2:35
Springs over here in California, so they're gonna all gonna be out golfing on
2:39
Monday, so I'll be at home washing sports all day. So that's totally
2:44
fine by me. There's a lot of a lot of good games sports all
2:46
day. Got football on Monday too, so I'll be I'll be chilling by
2:50
myself with some of the dogs, just watching sports all day, which which
2:53
I love. But yeah, definitely gonna be a little bit tougher to talk
2:58
about this, and we don't have pricing. I think a lot of the
3:01
plays we talk about are very just priced suggested plays we know. We'll talk
3:06
matchups, can kind of like speculate how we think things will go and how
3:09
DraftKings is going to price some of these guys. They've done a lot better
3:14
job of pricing up people and making value a little bit tougher kind of changing
3:17
the builds. But yeah, it would definitely definitely break it down as best
3:22
as we can on on the Saturday morning. Yeah, absolutely, And again
3:25
they're I mean we're doing the matchups, we'll talk. I'll touch a little
3:29
fandel pricing looking at it. It should be similar like I'm expecting all the
3:32
studs to play a D and Lebron will probably be questionable. Maybe poor Zingis
3:38
and be got beat up a bit. But no one plays on Christmas Eve,
3:42
so everyone gets that day off the day before and it's Christmas Day.
3:45
Everyone wants to show up. Five games, all stay your time, So
3:49
I'm expecting everyone to play. But yeah, you didn't mention it's important.
3:53
DK has had a lot tighter pricing as of late, so some of these
3:55
guys, we'll touch on them. That might not sound very appealing, but
4:00
they could be like forty four hundred and you just need them to get some
4:03
of the studs on this late. So we'll go game by game like always,
4:08
but no better time. Head over to Shipping Nation dot com Weekly,
4:11
monthly, six month, and annual package. No better time to get over.
4:15
Let's start the first game of the day at twelve Eastern, kicking it
4:18
off my Milwaukee Bucks heading to New York taking on the Knicks. Looking at
4:24
it, the Bucks are two point favorites. We're looking at it two forty
4:27
two total. Again, we're expecting all the stars to play. Giannis and
4:30
Dame on the Bucks side, Julius, Randall and Brunson on the Nick side.
4:36
As far as fandal pricing, Giannis, all the way up to twelve
4:40
K. I'll let you start breaking down the matchups. Obviously the Bucks can
4:44
get beat on threes. Jalen Brunson has had I mean he's definitely turned it,
4:47
or he started off on fire, went through a little rougher patch.
4:51
Julius Randall took over put up that eighty five piece a couple of games back.
4:57
I think he's interesting because he's going to be not all the way up
5:00
in that Yiannis tier. We're talking about pricing being pretty tough. I would
5:04
not be surprised if it's more of a balance build one of these Randall or
5:09
Jalen Brunson playing upper thirties minutes. You don't have to spend all the way
5:13
up for the honestes the mbeads of the world. So again we're just speculating
5:17
at this time, but with how pricing has been, I wouldn't be surprised
5:20
if it's more of a mid tier get all the minutes from Brunton, From
5:24
Randall, Hartenstein a very interesting talking point as well. No Jericho Simms,
5:28
how do you see this game going Bucks and the Knicks. Yeah, I
5:30
definitely kind of agree with you. I think it could be a mid tier
5:33
type build. Just speculating, I think that we're gonna have the Jannis Embiid,
5:41
Luka Jokic, all those guys priced above eleven close to twelve K,
5:45
and there'll probably be some pretty strong plays in the mid tier, definitely starting
5:48
with this game on the Knicks side, maybe a couple of guys on the
5:53
Bucks side too, But matchup wise, the Bucks surprisingly a bottom ten defense
5:59
right now. Historically with just this player personnel, they've been pretty solid defensively,
6:02
but they're kind of getting beat up. Like you said, more of
6:05
a three point funnel this year. Obviously having Jannie and Brook Lopez down low
6:10
helps shore up the interior defense, so they they're more of a three point
6:14
funnel, and the next have a couple decent three point shooters and pretty good
6:16
matchups. And the Knicks they started off really strong this year defensively, but
6:21
now they're fourteenth overall in defensive rating. Obviously losing Mitchell Robinson, who I
6:27
talked about a lot as a really just like a defensive anchor, really solid
6:31
interior defender, one of the better most underappreciated centers in the league in my
6:35
opinion. Obviously, he's out, so their interior defense has gotten much worse.
6:42
They are going to be without Jericho Simms most likely. I don't I
6:45
don't know his injury status. I know he's expected this a few games still,
6:47
but I'm not sure if he'll be ready for the Christmas Day matchup.
6:51
But I mean, regardless, that'll Isai Hardstein's going to play a ton of
6:56
minutes. They have one to two weeks. I'm not expecting him to play.
6:59
I'm expecting to to be the same with hart and Stein. Okay,
7:01
yeah, so that's good to know. Yeah, they'll they'll have a todsh
7:04
Gibson backing up Isaiah Hartenstein at the center spot. So hard Sid's a pretty
7:11
solid defender, but obviously todsh Gibson, he's he's old now. It doesn't
7:15
have the wheels. Apparently I didn't watch his first game as a nick this
7:18
year, but apparently he was tired after five minutes and was calling for a
7:23
sub, which definitely makes sense. He was just on the couch, probably
7:27
drinking beers and watching hoops a week ago. So but yeah, Yiannis definitely
7:34
gonna be one of my favorite spins on the slate on Christmas Day. Very
7:40
beatable matchup for him with no Mitchell Robinson down there. He already tourched his
7:44
team once this year, going thirty five eight and ten and then twenty two
7:46
eight and six in the second matchup, which wouldn't be that good of a
7:49
score for him considered where he's gonna be priced. But I love be honest
7:54
as a spend up for sure, I'm interested to see how the ownership will
8:00
shake out, just because I think people Christmas is definitely there's a lot of
8:03
strategy that goes into it. With all these games being spaced out throughout the
8:07
day, I think late swap is really big. You can get gain a
8:09
lot of information by just saving some roster spots for the later later games and
8:16
seeing how you know first couple of games shakeout. I think that you could
8:18
definitely make a case to fade a couple of these games that the first two
8:24
or first three games and and backload a lot and gain more information that way
8:28
and seeing how your value shakes up versus the value in the earlier games.
8:33
But I think GIS could probably come in pretty low, and I think this
8:35
is a pretty good matchup for him. Much less intrigued by Damian Lever's matchup.
8:41
I mean, the next are more vulnerable three point shooters this year,
8:43
but I think there's probably gonna be better spends than Dame. He's just you
8:48
know, lower usage with with Giannis out there, It's it's him and and
8:50
Giannis that are gonna demand all of the usage. But I'll side with Giannis
8:54
here in this matchup. Always pretty interested in brook Lopez as a low owned
9:01
centerpiece. Definitely more intriguing on fandubal where he get more points for steals and
9:07
blocks, and that's where he gains a lot of his upside. But I
9:09
assume he'll be in the low six six K range on DraftKings and we'll definitely
9:15
fit into some mid tier builds, just like Chris Middleton always gains a lot
9:18
of ownership just because he's shooting guard small forward eligible. Going to be around
9:24
six point two to six point four K most likely, and probably gets one
9:28
of the easier matchups in terms of the starting lineup for the Bucks. I
9:31
think he'll probably get RJ. Barrett on him. He's about a neutral defender.
9:35
But Middleton's been playing much better. Minutes are kind of hovering around thirty
9:39
minutes a game and always has pretty good fantasy point per minute upside when he's
9:46
getting those type of minutes outside of those main four guys. So I don't
9:50
really have a ton of interest in Malik Beasley. His minutes have come way
9:54
down value Portis minutes can fluctuate. He's always live to have a big game
9:58
off of the bench. I should see a lot of his minutes matched up
10:03
with TOAJ Gibson, which definitely would be a good matchup for him. So
10:07
he is definitely in the player pool, but not sure. He's definitely more
10:11
price more of a price point play depending on where he's priced up, because
10:16
I could definitely see him being six K and at that at that price,
10:20
I don't think he'd be a very good play. And then Pat Coinson back
10:24
in the lineup for them, I think he'll probably be a pretty popular value
10:30
just based off of the pricing. He's always in the low four k's and
10:33
he's gonna he's probably their most trusted person off of the bench outside of Bobby
10:37
Porta is gonna see around twenty minutes a game and doesn't have a ton of
10:43
upside, but he'll stand in the corner and launch them threes and he could
10:45
definitely knock down two or three and find his way to hitting some value.
10:50
Those be the main guys I would look to on the Bucks side and then
10:54
on the Knick side. This is a tougher matchup for Randall, although the
10:56
Bucks are bottom six in DVP. Versus his power forwards, He's gonna see
11:01
Giannis and a lot of Brook Lopez down low, and that's kind of where
11:05
he does most of his offensive work. Did have a good game against the
11:09
Bucks last time out, put up forty one real points. But I think
11:13
I'm gonna side with Brunson here. Just a much better matchup on paper versus
11:20
the Bucks and Guards. They're gonna have Damian Lillard Molie Beasley thrown at him,
11:22
and he's had had a really good game against the Bucks first time they
11:26
faced off, one for forty five, four and five. I know that
11:28
everybody remembers that game was a he was just balling right there. But yeah,
11:33
it's a little bit tough to invest in Brunson. I think that Randall
11:37
is always the safer play, just because you know that he's gonna dominate the
11:41
usage, and sometimes Brunson will just take the take the back seat and let
11:46
let Randall go to work, but I like the match up a little bit
11:48
better for Brunson here style side with him. Yeah, Hartenstein gonna play a
11:56
ton of minutes. He only got to thirty minutes last game when he started,
11:58
but he did have a trip to the locker room where he had to
12:01
fix a busted lip. I think he got stitches. To My assumption is
12:05
he would have got up to around thirty four to thirty six minutes in a
12:07
regular game without losing those minutes. And Todje Gibson played eighteen and yeah,
12:13
like I said, he's out of shape. I don't think they're gonna want
12:16
to run him out there from more than maybe twelve to fourteen in a game.
12:20
So I think that hearts See would be a pretty solid play just as
12:24
a minutes upside type of guy. They don't really have a ton of interest
12:28
in RJ. Barrett's a fine matchup for him where the Bucks are kind of
12:31
getting beat by three point shooters, but he doesn't really show a ton of
12:37
upside while sharing the floor with Julis Randall and Jelen Brunson. So I would
12:39
take an underweight stance on him and then all of the secondary guys. Emmanuel
12:45
Quickly, Josh Hart, Dante de Vincenzo. I think you could definitely keep
12:46
them in your playpool. I think they'll be pretty popular value options. I
12:50
think my favorite would be Josh Hart. I could see him getting his minutes
12:54
up in this one just for his size and defense, and I think he
12:58
could get there just minutes alone. He'll probably be a pretty solid value play,
13:01
so I like him the best. I think Quickly it is fine too.
13:05
He can always get hot off of the bench. And we definitely like
13:07
attecking the bucks with guards. But there's a couple of different ways you can
13:11
go. I wouldn't I mean, this is one of the higher totals on
13:16
the slate. I would assume both teams two forty two sorry, and both
13:22
these teams kind of struggling defensively, So I definitely think you could load up
13:24
on a couple of guys in this game. Yeah. Great breakdown, and
13:28
again we're speculating on a lot. Again. Ship a Nation will have projections,
13:33
will be updated all day, cash report if things change, GPP corres
13:37
report. All changes will be in yellow. Soah, again, no better
13:41
time to get over to ship in Nation dot Com Huge NBA slate NFL going
13:45
on as well. Tambo and Hoop are doing a quick hit for the NFL
13:48
on Christmas Day. So very punk, so much money to be made.
13:52
And yeah, I think you made a really good point early with five Staggert
13:54
Star times, especially Christmas Day, people are gonna be with the family.
13:58
We're gonna be a family. You said your family's gonna be golfing, You'll
14:01
be grinding. I'll still be grinding too. Laptop will be with me of
14:05
course. So it is pretty interesting. This game probably gets some ownership if
14:09
you want to cross off the first game or the first two games and see
14:11
did the chalk smash? Do I have to get different in spots or not
14:15
playing the min cash game, Like if Jiannis just say was seventy percent own
14:18
and puts up eighty and you don't have them, well you're not going to
14:20
play the ship. You're trying to get min cast. You still have to
14:24
might get different in the spot or to a lot of game theory, honestly,
14:28
like this on Christmas Day or eighty percent Yiannis bus and again I don't
14:31
think he's going to be close to eighty percent, just talking hypothetical. Well,
14:35
now you know where you're sitting compared to the field and you have a
14:37
big leg up. So I do not mind it at all, and probably
14:41
a lot of people, especially if projections do jam this game. People want
14:45
to get their stuff off. It's the morning, twelve Eastern. They're going
14:48
with the family that don't want to worry about late swap and all that.
14:50
The later games probably do come in lower owned. My quick thoughts on this,
14:54
Yeah, Hartenstein will play all the minutes. I have interest there.
14:58
Brook Lopez always a conturing and center spend when center is pretty tough. I
15:03
don't mind Dante di Devincenzo, either him or Josh Hart in that mid tier
15:07
build revenge game. Just put up a forty piece. The minutes are a
15:11
little concerning, but if he gets hot, they'll need his scoring. I
15:13
like Dante can can stroke it from deep. Bobby Portois, I always love
15:18
Body's upside. Doubt he gets too much ownership. He has that upside for
15:22
forty two to break a slate at low ownership. I'm on the Brunton over
15:26
Randall train. I'm hoping Randall is more popular too, like that pivot to
15:30
Brunson and tournaments. I'm with you on Dame the price on FANDUL nine point
15:33
two K isn't bad, But then you look in Jalen Brunton's eight point three
15:37
K. I'd much prefer him if I can get to any spend on the
15:41
site. It is probably honest, But as we talked about earlier, I
15:45
assuming value is going to be pretty tough not probably be more focused on the
15:48
mid tier. Middleton will probably fit that build. I'd be fine plug him
15:54
as the last piece, but he really doesn't excite me. Man, his
15:56
legs are going a little bit. It's not the same. Middleton is a
15:58
couple of years ago. Dame there, Janni's there. He'll probably fit a
16:03
lot of bills though because of his price the minutes, I guess, but
16:06
I don't love that play. So yeah, Brooke Hartenstein, Bobby the Dante's
16:11
the Josh Hart's in that mid tier to get a little different, got the
16:14
money for Giannis. Prefer him over Dame, and I like Brunton over Randa
16:18
like you do. So first game of the night, we only have a
16:22
total for that one, I see spreads for the other four. That's the
16:25
only only total I see. But two forty two has to be probably the
16:27
biggest on the slates. Looking at these other games. Next game on the
16:32
slate again, they're all stagger twelve pm Eastern, two thirty five, eight
16:36
ten thirty Basketball Day, Football Day. Can't get a better Christmas gift right
16:41
there. Golden State Warriors heading to Denver. Looking at the spread, we
16:45
got Denver favored by five and a half. Again, no DK pricing right
16:51
now. Looking at FanDuel pricing, Joki just above twelve K. Steph has
16:55
been way too cheap on fandel Is eighty eight hundred yesterday. He's only nine
16:59
thousand here, so I expect Steph to be one of the more popular plays.
17:03
A lot of people feel under price on FANDL. Though Brunson was a
17:06
three Jamal coming off a monster game on Friday, he's only eight K.
17:11
Pods came back. I always love some pods trace Jackson Davis coming off a
17:15
monster game on Friday. Looney did get in a little early foul trouble,
17:19
but it's so obvious how much better Davis is, great rent protector, double
17:23
double machine. I think the Warriors are going to offer a lot of good
17:26
mid tier value. Wiggins should be interesting. I'm expecting him to play.
17:30
It was a downgrade. I believe in illness that he missed that game,
17:33
so I expect him to play. But they love Pods, his rebounding floor,
17:37
he has double double upside. Loved Jackson Davis great, going right back
17:42
to him. I don't know, like I talk about a little like Dario
17:47
Saarich, if we do get Looney for very cheap, I don't know if
17:49
I really need that. Then on the other side, Aaron Gordon, Oh,
17:52
Kaminga too. How do I forget Kaminga? Him and Davis together man
17:56
athletic freaks, protect the paint. The Warriors are gonna be fun on these
18:00
next couple of years. So more we're talking about if these Warriors mid tier
18:03
guys are probably where I'm going to go to for a lot of mid tier
18:07
builds. The other side, with the Nuggets, if you can get Yo
18:10
Kic, you can Jamal might be interesting. I'm PJ. Aaron Gordon,
18:15
what do you see in this one? Yeah, definitely in agreement with you.
18:18
I love the mid tier plays on this Warrior side, assuming that they're
18:23
all priced properly. I mean, we've had the draftings, gonna have a
18:26
couple of days to kind of react to the Warriors how they've been playing,
18:30
so I wouldn't be surprised to see Kuminga come in six K. Plus I
18:34
wouldn't be surprised to see Jackson Davis come in close to six K. And
18:40
if that's the case, I would have much less interest. But if they're
18:42
still in like the low five k's mid five k's, definitely have a ton
18:47
of interest in them. But yeah, this is the game I could see
18:48
kind of coming in as one of the lower scoring ones just how both teams
18:52
play. They both like to get set up in the half court offense.
18:57
Nuggets are bottom two paced team, Warriors are in the top thirteen, but
19:02
we know that they like to kind of get get things going in the half
19:04
court offense a lot more. So I could definitely see this game coming in
19:07
as one of the lowest scoring ones on the night. Yeah, Yokic always
19:11
always gonna be great. Spend nothing really to to break down about that.
19:15
He's been playing much better lately after having a pretty big shooting slump. Assuming
19:22
that him and Embiid are priced, you know, within a couple hundred of
19:26
each other, I think I'll side with with Jokic in this one there too.
19:32
Yeah, then I'll probably I'd probably go Yanis over over Jokic. I
19:37
think that they've been kind of pricing down Giannis. I could see him being
19:41
like eleven k Yo can be Jokis being like eleven point eight one point six
19:45
something like that. So I think Janis would The money would definitely go a
19:48
long way if Jannis is cheaper, So I think I would side with Yanis,
19:52
But Jokic is really close, and if the pricing is if they're near
19:56
each other, then I'll side with Jokic. If it's like a one hundred
19:57
to three hundred difference, all definitely side with Jokic overall. Three. Yeah,
20:03
but he's he's done very good against the Warriors team's Looney's a pretty solid
20:07
defender. But like you said there, it seems like they're kind of shifting
20:11
over to the young guys a little bit. You obviously have pods in there
20:12
starting now, You got Kminga starting for Draymon Jackson, Davis minutes have been
20:18
taking up a lot. He's been playing really well, and it just seems
20:22
like Looney's kind of starting to lose his role with this team. Been a
20:26
great warrior, one of the probably one of the fan favorites, been a
20:30
really solid just centerpiece to this team over the last couple of years. But
20:33
he's getting older, not very athletic, his asthma so he can't even play
20:37
that much. So I think it makes sense to get Jackson, Davis,
20:41
Kamina and pods more minutes now and kind of start looking to the future.
20:45
But yeah, Jamal Murray played really well. His minute seemed to be back
20:49
to normal, got it to thirty four minutes last game, shot it really
20:52
efficiently. He's always been one of the better shooters, just most efficient players
20:56
in the league. So he'll he'll be a good play, pretty popular and
21:00
you know, the matchup should be fine for him. I think he would
21:03
get well, Wiggins isn't starting, so he wouldn't get the Wiggins assignment.
21:07
I would assume maybe maybe Kaminga is on him. They like to put kaming
21:11
on on some on ball type of guys, so I could definitely see cominga
21:15
get in that defensive assignment. But I like Jamal warriors or bottom six DVP
21:21
versus point guards the year on this year, so he's a He's a really
21:25
solid play. M PJ and Eric Gordon both definitely would make the player pool
21:30
but I probably would want to be Max one of those guys, just with
21:33
them being probably so so near each other and kind of eating to each other's
21:36
upside. And yeah, I mean it's just the main like the main four,
21:41
really the main two guys on the Denver side, Yo, Kitchen Jamal
21:44
and then sprinkling in Porter and Aaron Gordon and then on the Warrior's side.
21:49
Uh, I mean, it's a I have no idea where step is going
21:55
to be priced. I think that would definitely dictate my interest in him,
21:57
because he's been kind of in the low nine ks and much more upsided that
22:03
at that price. Just he's his minutes have been down this year, that
22:07
just the efficiency has been down. He's not really adding a ton of rebounds
22:10
and assists to his stat line, so his his upside has taken a really
22:14
big hit. So I am kind of off of him, and it's gonna
22:17
be a tough matchup versus KCP. The Nuggets do a really good job defending
22:21
three point shooters this year. They're I'm not sure where they rank, but
22:23
they're in the definitely top half of the league in three point defense. So
22:27
that would kind of make me want to take an underweight stance. On Steph,
22:30
I would probably just x out Clay personally, just minutes are not there
22:34
and he's just been pretty bad this year. Chris Paul definitely price depended,
22:41
but in the mid six case, I would have interest in him, and
22:44
then I mean mainly I have a lot of interest in the minsieer guys like
22:48
Pods, Jackson Davis and cominga on the warrior side of things. Yeah,
22:52
we're saying that the same way. I'll put CP three right in that boat
22:56
as well, coming off the bench, but still a big role there will
22:59
follow a lot. Don't see myself getting to many. Like if I land
23:02
on the MPG, I'm totally and Aaron Gordon probably gonna play mid thirties minutes
23:07
in a competitive game. MPJ can get hot, Aaron Gordon can get double
23:11
double upside. I'm not sure I can get to Jokic. I think I
23:15
prefer Yiannis to Jokic. But again, if I land on Yiannis, I
23:19
think a lot of power forward eligibility, which is nice too. Jamal always
23:22
says it upset. I'm with you on Steph though probably won't get to get
23:26
to Steph. I mean he can have forty real ones and have forty five
23:30
DK points. There's so many other studs on this slate I'd rather get to,
23:33
but the kamingas the Davis, the Pods of the world. I'm very
23:37
interested in in this game as well, But I don't think Warriors. I
23:41
might get a little ownership with those guys, especially if they are priced in
23:45
that mid five K range. I don't think many people get to. Again,
23:49
we don't have pricing out yet, but if Yokich is like twelve K
23:52
or eleven eight or one of the highest there, I think he'll probably be
23:56
somewhat contrarion, and I think Jamal will probably be somewhat conturing on this late
24:00
as well. But Warriors mid tier guys look very very strong, assuming they
24:04
are priced in the mid tier, which I would be very shocked if they
24:07
weren't. Do us a favor, haven't as yet one second, hit that

Core Report for NFL for MBA, all the contents as usual during this
24:52
busy holiday season, and hope you guys enjoy it with the family, hopefully
24:56
win some extra cheese to pay for the Christmas gifts. Game five pm,
25:00
Eastern Boston heads to the Lakers. These are all just such good games,
25:03
man. Christmas Day always a blast. We got the Boston favored by two
25:08
in this one. Chris STAPs Porzingis has been missing the past couple of games
25:14
with an ankle injury. I'm expecting him to play, but we do not
25:18
know for sure if he's out. Al Horford I think would be one of
25:21
the more popular plays on the slate, assuming DraftKings probably keeps his price where
25:26
it has been. Maybe like a Sam Hawser, something gets a little bump.
25:30
I don't see too much value screaming to me in this one. My
25:33
favorite ones would be the higher mid tier guys, at least what I'm expecting.
25:37
Derek White's been absolutely on absolute fire, Drew Holliday good price on FanDuel
25:42
seven point one k fits a scoring get over there as well. The Tatum
25:47
and Jalen Brown prices will be interesting too. Again, I'm not sure we'll
25:51
have the money with how tough value could be to get embiid Jokichiannis. If
25:56
I land on Jalen Brown or Tatum, I'm totally good with that too.
25:59
Upper thirties minutes. So yeah, the nature of this late I think a
26:03
lot of the time on Christmas Day unless some random news pops up, which
26:07
these guys want to play on Christmas Day? Man, all eyes on them?
26:10
What else you're gonna be doing sitting on the bench when everyone's watching.
26:11
So I'm expecting everyone to play Brown Tatum if he does have that price discount
26:18
from like, I prefer Tatum over Steph for sure if it was similar pricing.
26:22
So depending on Tatum's discount from the big dogs could get to him.
26:26
Jaylen Brown should have a price discount is Derek White that dude? Man?
26:30
Can we can we keep going back to him? Drew Holliday, I doubt
26:33
I get to these Lakers much. How do you see this one? Yeah?
26:37
I mean this, I'm hoping that people kind of overlook this game a
26:41
little bit and think that it's gonna be a lower scoring, defensive game,
26:44
because I have a lot of interest in this game. I think it could
26:48
These rotations are gonna be extremely condensed compared to some of these other teams.
26:51
I mean, you know, the Warriors are going to run pretty deep.
26:53
The Nuggets outside of Jokic are gonna run a pretty deep rotation. I mean
27:00
I could see I could see Boston like running seven seven and a half guys.
27:06
I can see the Lakers giving a D and Lebron close to forty minutes
27:10
in this one. I think a lot of there's gonna be a lot of
27:11
upside in this game. And I mean defensively, both these teams are really
27:17
really solid. Lakers number seven overall, Boston's number five overall. Both really
27:21
solid intoior defense, Lakers top eight, the Celtics are top four, but
27:26
then you look a little bit deeper, the the Lakers are bottom two to
27:30
three point defense, and the Celtics are bottom six, so you already know
27:34
right away how you want to attack things. And yeah, like you said,
27:38
with Tatum, hopefully, I think that there's a chance we could get
27:41
him pretty cheap here, just he missed last game. I could see them
27:45
pricing up Jalen Brown close to eight point five, eight point ak around there,
27:48
and then Tatum probably coming in less than ten k. And I think
27:52
he would be a really strong option. I like him regardless, even if
27:55
he is around ten k. But yeah, I think he's got huge upside.
28:00
He's gonna want to play, play a ton of minutes, wanted to
28:02
show out against l A at at LA see. I like, I like
28:07
Tatum a lot. I would I would just go Tatum over Jalen Brown.
28:11
I mean regardless, I don't really care about the pricing. I think that
28:15
this is a Tatum game more than a Jalen Brown game. And yeah,
28:19
I think, yeah, Derek White is gonna be a great play. Also,
28:22
I think he's just been on fire this year, shooting the ball really
28:26
well. Just one of the best two way type defenders and the guard players,
28:32
great three point shooter, really solid on ball defenders. I like him
28:34
a lot, definitely would prefer him to Drew, and then you know,
28:41
if Chris Tops is in like the matter for him too. Gonna be a
28:42
little bit a little bit resky with him probably being the starting center, and
28:47
he'll get a lot of the Anthony Davis matchup. Would definitely bring some foul
28:51
risk, but he should be left up in a ton on three point line
28:53
and could definitely get hot from there. He's got pretty pretty deep range as
28:57
well, so I would like him, and I don't even think it's too
29:00
crazy to go to Al Horford off the bench. He's going to get close
29:03
to probably twenty six to thirty minutes and definitely going to be out there a
29:08
lot for Anthony Davis defense. I think that him and Chrisops Berzingis could share
29:12
the floor together just to kind of make things a little bit easier for Christops
29:15
down low. But Al Horford is always a guy that's left open a ton
29:18
behind three point line, and he's been shooting it a lot better this year.
29:22
I don't know the exact numbers, but I know that he's been one
29:25
of the most efficient wide open three point shooters on the year, which I
29:29
mean last year he was really struggling, especially in the playoffs, but he's
29:33
turned it around and he's really involved as a passer and a rebounder. So
29:37
like Al Horford a lot as a value option this game. And then on
29:41
the Laker side, it's pretty much just Ad or Lebron. I side with
29:48
Lebron in this one. He's just been one of the mean historically. He's
29:51
played a ton of games on Christmas Day and obviously leads the NBA in pretty
29:56
much every stat, every Christmas Day stat. He loves playing on Christmas Day,
30:02
so this'll be a home game for him too, so I can definitely
30:03
see him getting up to up to forty minutes and be kind of flirting with
30:07
a triple double, which he's done a ton lately. For sure. The
30:11
Lakers just need to win games, and he's been kind of putting the team
30:15
on us back, even at his older age, just been playing as one
30:17
of the top five player in the league. He's just unreal. So side
30:22
with Lebron there just the Celtics are really solid defense versus opposing centers, so
30:27
kind of gets me off of Ad a little bit. I mean, they've
30:30
been running their offense through him a lot more he's been. He's definitely good
30:33
enough to beat any matchup. But I mean, Al Horford, as as
30:37
much as we kind of make fun of him a little bit, he's really
30:41
one of the best center defenders in the league. He's just done a really
30:44
good job against some opposing centers this year. Some played against some of the
30:48
best ones too. So I'll side with Lebron in this one. And I
30:52
don't really have a ton of interest in any of the secondary guys. Pretty
30:55
much just Lebron on the Lakers side, and then a lot of interest in
30:57
Tatum and Derek White, and then on the Celtic side. Yeah, I
31:02
mean, how I'm seeing with these studs, Like, I guess whoever is
31:04
the most popular? You can just eaither There's so many ways to pivot Brunts
31:08
and Randall, Tatum, Brown, jokicch Embi ad like all these dudes.
31:14
If there's one guy that's way more popular than the other, I might just
31:18
I don't know if I have the balls to just exit out. I'll definitely
31:21
be mmming on this slates. I think there's a huge edge, but I
31:25
mean, who knows, Like all these dudes are gonna show out. All
31:26
these dudes are gonna play up for thirties minutes. It's just the the value
31:33
is what's probably gonna be really tough and kind of force people in more of
31:36
a mid tier build. I like the Porzingis shout. If he does play,
31:38
I'd expect him to be low all. Maybe people are concerned if he
31:42
plays. I think he'd be good to go again. Match up is tough,
31:45
but he can stretch it, stretch five and then I don't know,
31:48
man, if he's like five percent seven percent, like, I'll be looking
31:52
for guys like that that have that slate breaking upside that will be around the
31:56
ten percent range because there's so many studs on the slate and not everyone can
32:00
be played. Orford for sure, still would be nice if he does have
32:04
power forward eligibility, but still like the center like jokichm beat with how expensive
32:08
they are, I'm not sure how loaded center. Hartenstein will be pretty good,
32:12
Brooke will be pretty good. It's probably a two center night like it
32:15
usually is. But yeah, Derek White, for sure, I'm with you
32:17
on Tatum over Brown. It would just be Brown for me. Or I'd
32:22
have more interest if just say he was like thirteen hundred cheaper than Tatum or
32:24
something where I couldn't get that, and it goes a long enough way.
32:29
But you can always play Brown, you can always play ad secondary piece is
32:31
definitely tougher for me. To get to the Boston side is pretty nice though.
32:37
Two games left. Definitely the least favorites, our least appealing game for
32:42
me, Philly heading to Miami. This has to be the lowest total.
32:45
Again, we don't have totals besides that first one heat. Our favored by
32:49
one though. All these games one, two, five and a half,
32:52
four and a half, two very close games, so we should be in
32:54
for some competitive basketball, not worrying about any blowouts. Of course we can
33:00
out. If you can get to Embiid, you can get to him.
33:01
I think he'll be the highest priced. He is on fan duel twelve point
33:05
nine K. His way up there. But bam, I mean talk a
33:09
little bit about Actually, the first thing we should mention is Jimmy. He's
33:13
been out these past games. He didn't play yesterday. I'm not sure if
33:16
you have any lean I'm not sure either. It's a calf injury. If
33:20
he does come back, I guess his price would be very interesting. Let's
33:23
just say Jimmy comes back, he's like eight point three K talk about that.
33:27
But if he's in and he's priced normal, I don't think I need
33:30
to get to any of these guys. If he's out, I think dam's
33:32
fine. Heroes fine, still pretty tough. I played Josh richardson yesterday.
33:37
What a donkey I am. Maybe he'll be very cheap and a little value.
33:42
Again, you're not hoping for five X you're gonna click on these cheap
33:45
guys. You're literally hoping probably seventeen sixteen and it's what it gets you.
33:51
I don't love this game. A Tobias shout out to him what to call
33:53
on Friday Night? Absolutely nuke Tyrees Max, he nuked. I don't know.
33:58
I don't love picking on the heat. Think it'll be the lowest total
34:00
on the slates. Tommy Hakkaz Duncan Robinson. I don't know, man,
34:05
I'm trying to find some mid tier guys. Mate, what do you see?
34:07
Yeah? Started with Jimmy Butler. I mean, I feel like the
34:12
spread probably indicates him being in, because I don't know necessarily that Miami should
34:16
be favored versus Philly with with Jimmy Butler out, So I would assume he's
34:22
in, and maybe, I mean maybe that embiid comes in a little bit
34:28
banged up in this one with with the sp I just feel like Philly should
34:30
be favored in this game personally, But yeah, that that kind of tells
34:35
me that Jimmy Butler's in. I think that they're just kind of trying to
34:37
find find games to rest Jimmy and Bam, they know that you just got
34:43
to make the playoffs with this team. You gotta get get to the playoffs
34:45
healthy. So I think that it's probably just been more of like a rest
34:49
situation for Jimmy. Maybe he is actually injured and he's at risk of missing
34:53
this game, but I think that it's more just finding some rest spots for
34:57
him, because they obviously just got Tyler here back three games ago, so
35:00
that's kind of the perfect time to let Jimmy take a couple of nights off.
35:05
But I think he probably plays in this one, and yeah, I
35:08
would assume his price that comes in pretty low. Owned we know that Jimmy
35:12
Butler is definitely the type of guy that holds grudges, and they he had
35:15
a pretty I mean every scene that he's left, he's had a pretty bad
35:19
falling out with so I could see I could see Jimmy coming in here being
35:22
motivated. He's gonna get Tobias Harris on de bench, which is not It's
35:27
definitely not a hard matchup by any means. I think that he has a
35:31
little bit of beef with Tobias Harris too, So I could definitely see Jimmy
35:34
coming out pretty motivated and putting up a big game. And if he's low
35:37
owned, would have a lot of or low price that would have interest in
35:39
him. Yeah, outside of him, I mean, I don't really even
35:45
have that much interest in and beating this one. I've been, you know,
35:50
really really high in and beat this whole year. Obviously, it's not
35:52
not a hot take. He's just been been playing lights out and definitely the
35:54
MVP of the year up to this point, just been crying his like ten
36:00
straight games of sixty one plus DraftKings points. So he's just been on fire.
36:05
But if there was anybody that could limit Embid, it would definitely be
36:10
Bam out of Bio. They played each other a bunch over the past five
36:15
years that BAM's been in the league, and Embiid's best score in all those
36:19
games was only fifty seven point eight draftings points, So the downside is pretty
36:22
big considering what you're gonna probably be paying for him. I mean, it's
36:28
definitely not to say that Embiid can't outproduce that, it's just the range of
36:30
outcomes. I mean, he's had a couple of games in the thirties,
36:34
a couple games in the twenties against BAM, definitely a different Embiid. It
36:37
seems like Nick Nurris has kind of unlocked his true potential a little bit more.
36:42
He's just been obviously playing amazing, but BAM is a really solid defender,
36:46
and I would expect him to be out there mirroring Embiid's minutes and kind
36:52
of trying to try to stop start, to just slow him down a lot.
36:55
But if Embiid gets slowed down, I think, I mean, somebody's
36:59
got to score the point. I would have interest in Tigres Maxi and Tobias
37:01
Harris in lineups that do not contain Embid. Maybe you want to give them
37:05
a little bit of a boost. And I mean, Maxi probably going to
37:09
be guarded by Caleb Martin, who's a pretty solid on ball defender. But
37:13
the heat historically have been a pretty big three point Finnel this just historically just
37:19
how they defend. They want to kind of stop people from scoring at the
37:22
rims. I think MAXI could Max and Tobias could definitely be launching from three,
37:25
and we just saw both these guys go off in the same game,
37:28
so it's definitely possible. But yeah, those would be the only guys I'm
37:32
really interested in on the on the sixers side of things, and then on
37:37
the heat side. I don't really want to get to Bam just he's gonna
37:43
be priced probably around nine K, and he's had really low downside too,
37:49
going to get somebid over the years. Obviously, the matchup brings a ton
37:52
of foul risk, and Beat is really good at drawing fouls, so that
37:55
would definitely ding his upside a lot if he were to get in foul trouble.
38:00
Much prefer Jimmy probably because he's going to be priced pretty low, and
38:06
I would prefer tyther Hero as well. But yeah, I don't have a
38:08
lot of interest in this game. This is going to be a pretty low
38:10
scoring one, I think, and it would be a good time to just
38:15
maybe only keeping a couple guys in your playpool in this game and just hope
38:19
that it's a low scoring game. Yeah, I think it'll be the lowest
38:22
total. We don't like picking on Miami. If Jimmy's in, especially if
38:25
he's out, then the heroes of the World. Maybe Duncan Hak has something
38:30
like that. But my least favorite game of the five by far, and
38:34
maybe this is the time have some dinner, turn off the TV and spend
38:37
it with the family and then catch the nightcap. In this last game of
38:40
the slate, which is ten pm Eastern, ten thirty pm Eastern. Excuse
38:45
me, Dallas headed to Phoenix. We're looking at Phoenix as four and a
38:50
half point favorites right now. I mean, man, we're not gonna have
38:52
to deal with all this MAVs value like we did again. We're recording this
38:55
Saturday. Many of you guys, if you are watching on Monday again Mary,
38:59
Chris Miss, enjoy it. Enjoy it with the family. Still be
39:02
locked in though to the news. We're not gonna have to worry about these
39:07
the secondary guys on Dallas. Lucas should play Kyrie. Who knows if Kyrie.
39:12
I mean it feels like he could play in this game. Even if
39:15
he did. I would not have interest in the first game back, regardless
39:17
of the price, but it would take all these secondary guys out of play,
39:22
even with Luca back, Like I don't know Tim Hardaway in the six
39:25
k's Jaden Hardy just disappointed Grant Williams. I don't think I really need to
39:30
get to these Dallas guys can always play Luca, of course, maybe you
39:34
have a different take there. As far as the Suns, they burned us
39:37
yesterday too. Nurkic was excuse me out with the personal reason U Banks didn't
39:42
do anything. Met two didn't do anything. The minutes weren't even there.
39:45
I think a Kogi news, not that it's important, but maybe like like
39:51
it was this year, little starting for him, and then Grayson Allen got
39:52
the nod yesterday. I wouldn't mind a great and Allen, maybe Eric Gordon
39:57
in the mid tier to fit those talk about Luca compared to the other spans
40:01
on the slate, vande book kd thoughts on them, probably around like the
40:07
Tatum range is what I'm guessing. Yeah, Luca is probably a top top
40:14
two spend on the slate for sure, should should come back, and he's
40:16
gonna play huge minutes loves torching the Suns, and yeah, I mean both
40:22
these teams are really struggling defensively right now. I would assume this game is
40:27
probably one of the higher game totals on the slate just with I mean,
40:30
Mavericks are playing up and Pace Phoenix has been really bad defensively. Yeah,
40:35
I think Luca is just an absolute smash play we have with some back end
40:39
stuff that that Boomer has for us. The Suns have just been getting absolutely
40:45
torched this year on DVP wise versus the posing point guards. And I mean,
40:51
yeah, Luca Lucas gonna smash in this one, I think. But
40:55
yeah, I mean outside him on the Maverick side, I mean, wow,
41:00
the pricing on Fandal isn't saying you get Dante x M at seven point
41:02
four k. That's just I know he's been playing good, but I don't
41:06
think he should ever be close holiday almost at Derek Hawai and it's pretty crazy.
41:12
Yeah, that's that's why. I Fandal is usually pretty good with their
41:15
pricing, But that's that seems like a pretty big mistake that would I would
41:19
probably not even have him in my playerpool on Fandel, but DraftKings, he'll
41:23
probably play. He's missed. He missed last game too. I think they're
41:25
just resting these guys to get them out there healthy on Monday or because this
41:30
will be definitely I think. I think they'll probably play Luca and that today
41:36
get the day off. Three games in four days they didn't want. But
41:39
I expect him to play today, ramp up and Christmas Day like normal.
41:44
Yeah, yeah, I'm expecting that as well. Yeah, I like I
41:47
like Tim Hardaway Junior. I think he would probably be the him and Derek
41:51
Jones Junior would be the guys that would keep in my playerpool as far as
41:53
the secondary guys on Dallas. Tim Hardaway Junior really never gets a lot of
41:59
ownership, and he's the guy that has seen the biggest usage bump, the
42:01
biggest upside just draftings, scoring bump. With Kyrie irving off of the floor,
42:07
we know that he's going to be coming off of the bench, but
42:09
he'll see he'll see starter like minutes and he's got the chance to get hot
42:15
every time that he's coming off the bench. I like Tim Hardway Junior a
42:17
lot, but really, I mean, Derek Joe Junior just kind of would
42:22
fit some builds because him being small forward. I believe he's small for power
42:25
forward eligible on DraftKings, and he's always gonna be priced around like the low
42:30
five K range, and he'll be out there a ton for his defense.
42:34
So those be the main guys I would be looking at. I don't have
42:37
a lean if Derek Lively is going to be in or out. I think
42:39
that he could probably return, and if he does, he steps into a
42:43
pretty good matchup, just with the Suns being a pretty bad interior defense,
42:50
pretty good price cycle on FanDuel at six K. But yeah, I mean
42:52
it's mostly Luca or Bus and then you could get into some Tim Hardway junior
42:57
Derek Jones junior stuff if you want to. But Becaus got a really good
43:00
matchup, so I like him a lot to suspend up. And then on
43:04
the Sun side, yeah, Mavericks have been getting torched by opposing wings forward
43:12
type guys, so I think Kevin Durant said it pretty nicely. Here.
43:15
Issue is with both Katie and Durant just they haven't shown really big upside lately.
43:20
Neither one of them is like separating from each other. They're kind of
43:22
eating to each other's upside a lot. They're both just scoring around thirty real
43:28
points and not really doing a ton with the peripherals. Every now and then
43:30
Booker has the spike and assist, but neither one of these guys is really
43:37
really standing out to me. I think you need around forty real points from
43:43
one of them in order for them to hit their upside, which I mean,
43:45
obviously they both can do their great scores, but I think that compared
43:49
to how their price on fandle, which I assume will be kind of similar
43:52
to the DraftKings, I would much rather get to Jason Tatum, much rather
43:57
get to Lebron obviously Yannis and all the guys above them. But you definitely,
44:02
I don't think you're excellent because they definitely could come in really low own
44:06
and it's a good matchup for them too. Nurkich is a good matchup.
44:10
Maverick suck versus centers, and just they struggle to defend the interior as well,
44:15
so I think that heat is in play. But he's really expensive on
44:19
on van Duel at a loaded center positions, I don't think that you can
44:22
really get to them there. And yeah, you mentioned Grayson Allen. I
44:25
think that he makes the player pool not nothing stands out from a matchup perspective
44:30
for him, but he's small, probably shooting guard small Ford eligible, and
44:36
will be in the low five k range, which will definitely be a popular
44:39
range. We'll need to find some plays in that in that area. Same
44:43
goes for Eric Gordon. Yeah, I mainly just interested in the studs here
44:47
on both sides of this game. Yeah, I'm with you that I lean
44:52
Book over KD if you want to go to the Luca Book narrative. He
44:55
has the ball in his hand more. But if he's ten to one and
45:00
ten two like we're seeing on Fandel, I much prefer I do prefer Tatum
45:05
if they're right in that same range, Brunton and Randall would probably be cheaper.
45:07
I would definitely make a rule Max one. I'm saying that out loud,
45:12
so I make a note of that myself. I don't want two of
45:14
the same, like I don't want both Jalen Brown and Tatum on this lady
45:17
either. Depending on the prices for Randall bruntson, I so will probably make
45:22
a rule Max one. There's just so many studs in all these games that
45:25
I think they're going to eat into each other's lunch. It's tough to see.
45:29
I think both we say that when we saw what MAXI Tobias and then
45:31
beat, I'll put up fifty five plus. So I don't know, maybe
45:35
that's not the right thing to do, but I I probably want one to
45:37
fifty if I'm playing like thirty teams, whatever it may be. I don't
45:42
really want book and KD together. I want to build up that really quick,
45:47
just because it kind of plays into just some of the stuff we have
45:52
on our website with the tools. Because normally I'm I'm pretty strict on some
45:58
rules, you know, I'm that one the guys you said, like Brunston
46:01
and Randall, and usually I'll be max one like the Jonte Trey or Embiid
46:07
and MAXI. But I took a look at the correlation sheet yesterday before building
46:13
some lineups, and you know, I was seeing that a lot of the
46:15
times that Maxie is hitting his ceiling, you have Embiid hitting a ceiling,
46:20
But a lot of times when Embids hitting his ceiling, Max is hitting the
46:22
ceiling. So I had a lot of lineups, and the same with Jamal
46:24
Murray and Yokich had at a lot of lineups containing both of those guys,
46:28
And obviously that pairing worked out really well. You had MAXI get up to
46:30
fifty four fifty five draftings points, EMBID was close to seventy, and yeah,
46:37
they hit together a lot of the time, So I think that you
46:40
definitely couldn't do it with this being a smaller slate, But I don't know
46:45
if I wouldn't if I want to group it out as much you talked to
46:50
me out of it. I mean that that tool is definitely really good to
46:52
look at, and you always have that OT upside, especially with Yeah,
46:55
if one of these games go to OT the five, that extra five minutes
46:59
can really be key to break the slate all close spreads as well, So
47:02
maybe you are I still like on fandom, I still don't. I know
47:06
I'm not gonna play Katie and Booked together ten to one, Yeah, ten
47:08
two, that's using time, so I know that for sure do it to
47:13
the pricing, But like Randall Brunton, I think would be wrong. And
47:15
if that sheet says they hit their ceiling together a lot, you're not breaking
47:20
the absole bank with them like over ten k plus, So I think that's
47:22
hotly fine. That tool I got to look at check that out more.
47:25
That's a that's a really good call there. You could always you can correlate
47:30
them too as well. I mean, if you you boost up the I
47:34
didn't set a rule that said if if Randa old lineup hass to contained Brunson.
47:38
I just you know, said if if lineup has Randall, then boosts
47:43
brunts and by you know, ten fifteen or whatever it is. And then
47:46
if you maybe if you say lineup contains both Randall and Brunson, you boost
47:51
up a Yannis or boost up a Damian Lillard, boost up Middleton Brook Lopez.
47:55
That way, you're kind of you're building a correlated lineup where saying,
48:00
okay, this first game of the night is going to be the one that
48:02
shoots out. I mean it's a high total close spread, So you could
48:06
definitely, I mean, if the game goes to overtime, you get thirty
48:09
five thirty six minutes from Middleton, you get forty from Dame, you get
48:13
forty two plass from Randall and Brunston, you could be looking really good.
48:17
And I don't think a lot of people would play it that way. So
48:21
just kind of talking through things because a lot of definitely a lot of strategy
48:24
goes into playing on Christmas Day. You're going to have an edge just by
48:28
watching the games, just by paying attention to your lineups and seeing how things
48:32
are going throughout the night. Late swapping is definitely big. Yeah, I
48:37
mean, you could definitely look at overstacking some games. Just I mean,
48:40
it's pretty likely that all the games in the middle from uh on Pacific time,
48:46
but all the games from eleven thirty to five pm Pacific time could come
48:50
in pretty low scoring. You could just definitely overstack the first and last game,
48:53
for example, and be way ahead of the field on those games.
48:58
Yeah, a lot of game theory definitely be checking how your lineups are doing.
49:01
Late swap if you want to just target a couple of games and fade
49:07
the rest, see how you're sitting. Again, if you're honest with eighty
49:09
percent, he puts up eighty points and you don't have him, obviously,
49:13
you know you're just trying to get to the mint cash line, adjust your
49:16
lines differently. If he's eighty percent, puts up twenty and you don't have
49:20
him, you have a huge leg up on the field. Maybe you can
49:22
swap off. Just say you've had a five percent Peyton Prichard. You don't
49:25
need to really take that risk anymore. You can get chalkier since a lot
49:29
of other lineups are dead. So great stuff there always fun five games here.
