- 0:43Speaker 3: a little fake out last week thinking it was maybe

- 0:58Speaker 3: you need under the NBA tad. We have you covered
- 1:01Speaker 3: and this will not change going all the way to
- 1:03Speaker 3: the playoffs. MLB is back in action though, so we're
- 1:05Speaker 3: gonna have double headers pretty much every single day. There's
- 1:08Speaker 3: a relevant slate for both, which is I believe almost
- 1:10Speaker 3: every day except Thursday, MLB this week. Next week, but
- 1:14Speaker 3: we're on at four Eastern. NBA or MLB excuse me,
- 1:17Speaker 3: comes on right after at five e Ston, so no

- 1:46Speaker 5: for me from will Be, if I do good or bad,
- 1:48Speaker 5: won't really matter, because I think that's pretty cool just

- 1:55Speaker 5: looking forward to the rest of the season from will
- 1:57Speaker 5: Be and then rest NBA. But you had a good

- 2:33Speaker 3: see it, but I'll I will ask you, how did
- 2:34Speaker 3: you shoot?
- 2:36Speaker 5: I played a really tough course and I'm also not
- 2:38Speaker 5: very good, so not great, but yeah, just kind of
- 2:41Speaker 5: kind of going there for the vibes.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I'm with you too. That's what I always
- 2:44Speaker 3: go on. Hope to hit a couple of good shots.
- 2:46Speaker 3: My short game is absolutely pathetic and hit it off
- 2:49Speaker 3: the tea once in a while.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Though. I did get a Bertie, so I'll say that.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Hey, there you go, Bertie. That's yeah.
- 2:56Speaker 3: If I get one, if I get a couple of
- 2:58Speaker 3: parts or like one birdie on the session, that's a
- 3:00Speaker 3: win for me. So yeah, that's a type of golf
- 3:02Speaker 3: I am. No one's like our man Nids. I know
- 3:04Speaker 3: Nid's on the sticks for the golf streets and in
- 3:07Speaker 3: real life is this pretty good at it? So I
- 3:10Speaker 3: appreciate everyone hanging out. All we has like bun subscribe
- 3:12Speaker 3: on six games on DraftKings, eight games on fanduels. You
- 3:15Speaker 3: can see on DraftKings seven pm Eastern. It's a two
- 3:18Speaker 3: hour window. Nine pm Eastern is the last main slate game.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Don't forget, we still do have Showdown NBA content, So
- 3:25Speaker 3: if MLB or NBA is not going your way as much, early.
- 3:28Speaker 3: I guess that's the wrong way to look at it.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Chasing's never good, but hey, just say you can't be
- 3:32Speaker 3: around your computer for these two hours you wouldn't be
- 3:34Speaker 3: watching the show, but just do no. Monday through Friday,
- 3:36Speaker 3: we do have showdown coverage with our man Little Mac
- 3:39Speaker 3: always does a great job, right there, Any broad Slate
- 3:42Speaker 3: overview real before we go game by game.
- 3:45Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the slate's interesting because we have two
- 3:47Speaker 5: games that I think are pretty big for the East.
- 3:50Speaker 5: It's actually the two first games on the slate, and
- 3:52Speaker 5: then kind of smattering of like pretty big blowout concern games,
- 3:57Speaker 5: but really good matchups for guys, for guys in Cleveland
- 4:01Speaker 5: and San Antonio, and they have a really really appealing
- 4:04Speaker 5: implied team total. So I think that you kind of
- 4:06Speaker 5: have to at least be considering those guys. But these
- 4:09Speaker 5: first two games, I think from a real life and
- 4:12Speaker 5: maybe a little bit from a draftings perspective, I think
- 4:14Speaker 5: look pretty good. And then obviously the games that are
- 4:17Speaker 5: gonna be blowing out, those are really good matches for
- 4:19Speaker 5: those teams.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Yeah, just looking at the spreads, like always, I'm seeing
- 4:23Speaker 3: at twelve and a half, eighteen and a half, sixteen
- 4:26Speaker 3: and a half, but we do have seven and a half,
- 4:28Speaker 3: two and a half, one and a half. And yeah,
- 4:30Speaker 3: you mentioned the first two games that would be talking
- 4:32Speaker 3: is the closest spreads on the slate.
- 4:33Speaker 2: So let's get right into.
- 4:35Speaker 3: It's the Philadelphia seventy six Ers and the Miami Heat
- 4:38Speaker 3: kicking it off. Philly two and a half point favorites,
- 4:40Speaker 3: big boy total two forty four and a half in
- 4:42Speaker 3: this one on the Miami side, No Norm Powell, no
- 4:45Speaker 3: injuries news on the Philadelphia side to talk about.
- 4:48Speaker 2: You said, do you think.
- 4:49Speaker 3: This game has a little appeal for dfs. It mainly
- 4:52Speaker 3: looks like the spend ups. Maybe a couple possible mid
- 4:55Speaker 3: tier options with no Norm on the Heat side, but yeah,
- 4:58Speaker 3: it mainly looks like spend ups on the Philly side.
- 5:00Speaker 2: How do you see this first game?
- 5:03Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the big thing was that the Sixers
- 5:05Speaker 5: got healthy over the weekend.
- 5:06Speaker 4: We saw Maxie return and was full right away.
- 5:10Speaker 5: They didn't really waste any time ramping up any of
- 5:12Speaker 5: the guys, any of like Paul George Embiid or Maxie
- 5:15Speaker 5: Turrey's played forty three minutes in that game against Charlotte.
- 5:18Speaker 5: Big win for them, as well, and then Embiat and
- 5:20Speaker 5: George both played thirty six minutes apiece. Kelly Ubray also
- 5:23Speaker 5: played twenty eight minutes off the bench. So that's pretty
- 5:26Speaker 5: big for them getting towards the end of the season,
- 5:28Speaker 5: and this is a really big game for the East
- 5:30Speaker 5: in general. The Sixers are seventh right now and Miami
- 5:33Speaker 5: is ninth, and I think I'll win here would kind
- 5:35Speaker 5: of solidify them in like that seventh to eight range.
- 5:38Speaker 5: So I think that they're going to be running a
- 5:39Speaker 5: really tight rotation like they normally do, and we're going
- 5:41Speaker 5: to get playoff like minutes from both sides in this game. Yeah,
- 5:46Speaker 5: Miami's for the most part fully healthy.
- 5:48Speaker 4: Obviously, no Norman Pyle.
- 5:49Speaker 5: Is gonna condense usage a little bit in that second unit,
- 5:52Speaker 5: but for the most part, they'll be pretty fully healthy.
- 5:55Speaker 5: And Miami's not playing great right now. They've run into
- 5:58Speaker 5: some pretty big issues on the defensive side things. Their
- 6:00Speaker 5: bottom two in defensive raiding over the last two weeks.
- 6:03Speaker 5: Philly is bottom eleven. I think that they will get
- 6:06Speaker 5: a little bit worse with them beat out there, but
- 6:08Speaker 5: Miami's been a little bit unlucky with her three point variants.
- 6:10Speaker 5: I still think that they are a team that you
- 6:12Speaker 5: want to attack with three point scoring, but they are
- 6:14Speaker 5: giving up a lot more rim scoring as of late,
- 6:16Speaker 5: so not good for them. Sixers posted a one hundred
- 6:19Speaker 5: and twenty five offensive rating last game with Embiid, Maxi,
- 6:22Speaker 5: and George back, and they that three man lineup has
- 6:24Speaker 5: a one hundred and twenty offensive rating the season, so
- 6:27Speaker 5: really really good offensive numbers for them. I do think
- 6:30Speaker 5: that Miami will be able to put up points here
- 6:33Speaker 5: because the transition defense for the Sixers has been a
- 6:35Speaker 5: pretty big issue and the pick and roll defense is
- 6:37Speaker 5: also not great. With them beat out there, Miami is
- 6:40Speaker 5: one of the top transition scoring teams in the NBA,
- 6:42Speaker 5: so it's kind of like the clear spot to attack there.
- 6:45Speaker 5: But for the Sixer side of things, I do think
- 6:47Speaker 5: that all three of Maxi, Embiid, and Paul George are
- 6:51Speaker 5: in play here. I think I do lead with Maxi,
- 6:54Speaker 5: though I think that his match up might be a
- 6:55Speaker 5: little bit better. You know, Embiad's gonna be going up
- 6:58Speaker 5: against Bam Bams, a really good defender Clow where I
- 7:00Speaker 5: don't think he's great, but they'll have a lot of
- 7:02Speaker 5: size that they can throw at Embiid, whereas Maxie will
- 7:05Speaker 5: see Davion Mitchell, I do think is a pretty good defender,
- 7:07Speaker 5: but over the last couple of weeks, the Heat are
- 7:10Speaker 5: bottom two are They're dead last in DVP versus point guards.
- 7:14Speaker 4: Don't look at that numbers.
- 7:15Speaker 5: Those numbers a ton at this point in the season,
- 7:17Speaker 5: but I think that it is pretty noteworthy for a
- 7:19Speaker 5: team like Miami because they've been playing so poor defensively.
- 7:22Speaker 4: So I do think that if one of the.
- 7:23Speaker 5: Guys between mbiider Maxi is going to be going off,
- 7:26Speaker 5: I would side with Maxi, And he just has such
- 7:28Speaker 5: a high minutes ceiling and floor that's gonna be really
- 7:32Speaker 5: hard for him to kind of kill you for playing him,
- 7:34Speaker 5: because I do think that the just like his his
- 7:37Speaker 5: range racoms is a lot tighter on the floor side
- 7:40Speaker 5: of things with the minutes upside that he has. So
- 7:42Speaker 5: I'm pretty pretty in on Maxie tonight. I think Embiid
- 7:45Speaker 5: is still good, and I think Paul George is a
- 7:46Speaker 5: guy to consider because you do want guys that kind
- 7:49Speaker 5: of mainly are off ball scoring options against the Heat,
- 7:52Speaker 5: and Paul George has been you know, he's used to
- 7:54Speaker 5: just held up pretty strongly even with Embiid and maxie
- 7:57Speaker 5: Back took nineteen shots last game twenty two against Chicago.
- 8:00Speaker 5: That was his first game back, kind of getting him acclimated.
- 8:03Speaker 5: But I mean he's I don't know, the time off
- 8:06Speaker 5: definitely worked in his favor. I think that he's he's
- 8:08Speaker 5: gonna be really fresh heading towards the end of the season.
- 8:10Speaker 5: So I'm in on all three of those guys. Probably
- 8:12Speaker 5: a Max two situation there for Miami. I think the
- 8:16Speaker 5: price is good for Bam, but obvious foul risk going
- 8:20Speaker 5: up against him bid, but he did go for fifty
- 8:22Speaker 5: six DK points the last time that these teams face,
- 8:24Speaker 5: and I don't really think it be is that great
- 8:25Speaker 5: of a rim protector, So I think that the matchup
- 8:27Speaker 5: is pretty solid for BAM.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Same thing for Hero.
- 8:30Speaker 5: He's just a little bit too expensive, but he will
- 8:31Speaker 5: get a little bit more usage with Norman Powell out tonight.
- 8:34Speaker 5: But I think the guys I'm kind of honing in
- 8:36Speaker 5: on are the cheaper options on Miami. So guys like
- 8:40Speaker 5: Haimi Hawkes, Andrew Wiggins and Pelly Larson and even Davion
- 8:43Speaker 5: I think is a guy that you can consider. I
- 8:45Speaker 5: think that the minutes might be really big for him,
- 8:48Speaker 5: just chasing around Tyrey's Maxie. I think they might want
- 8:50Speaker 5: to get close to matching those minutes together. But Wiggins
- 8:54Speaker 5: and Pela are pretty good at five point three and
- 8:56Speaker 5: four point a K pella with shooting guard small fort
- 8:58Speaker 5: eligibility his minute. It's upside is really big as well,
- 9:01Speaker 5: because Sponser just really likes him and he'll play him
- 9:04Speaker 5: a ton if he is able to. So I think
- 9:07Speaker 5: pel A is for sure and play. And I actually
- 9:09Speaker 5: think that club ware might be an interesting option, obviously
- 9:13Speaker 5: away from bad because they won't really share and the
- 9:15Speaker 5: courts together much. But there's a lot of flowers coming
- 9:18Speaker 5: BAM's way, so there's a chance that where is playing
- 9:21Speaker 5: like twenty six minutes tonight versus like eighteen to twenty
- 9:24Speaker 5: on a normal normal night. But I do think that
- 9:27Speaker 5: those cheaper options Wiggins and Pelley are pretty good for Miami.
- 9:31Speaker 3: Yeah, and like you said, Davian, I would definitely throw
- 9:33Speaker 3: him in there too. At four point five k, heat
- 9:36Speaker 3: offers some value. I do think that at the ownership
- 9:40Speaker 3: I'm curious of your take. I feel like them being Maxie,
- 9:42Speaker 3: Like if people are going to spend a center, I
- 9:44Speaker 3: think a lot of people will go Wemby, and there's
- 9:46Speaker 3: enough value on this late and there's also value centers
- 9:49Speaker 3: that I think is probably Maxie that's going to be
- 9:52Speaker 3: the highest on seventy six.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Or do you see it that way?
- 9:55Speaker 4: Uh?
- 9:55Speaker 3: Yeah, probably not that it'll be crazy maybe like if
- 9:58Speaker 3: you like him, play him. I mean, there's enough spend
- 10:00Speaker 3: ups to get to go around, but I just I
- 10:04Speaker 3: don't I think this would be something maybe like twenty
- 10:06Speaker 3: five and then be something like fifteen or something.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Do you see it like that?
- 10:10Speaker 4: Yeah? Maybe maybe Paul George ends up closer to EMBIID,
- 10:15Speaker 4: but I do think that Maxic will be the highest
- 10:17Speaker 4: und of the three.
- 10:18Speaker 2: And then what were your thoughts on BAM.
- 10:21Speaker 3: You mentioned a tough defensive assignment, but if he can't
- 10:24Speaker 3: stay out of follow trouble, he's getting some ownership or
- 10:26Speaker 3: do you just like the ownership discount the price discount
- 10:29Speaker 3: to war and get direct leverage hoping maybe BAM gets
- 10:32Speaker 3: in follow trouble.
- 10:33Speaker 5: I think that's kind of like a large field enemy
- 10:36Speaker 5: type of thing. I don't know if in signature you'd
- 10:38Speaker 5: be kind of banking on that.
- 10:41Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that BAM's good.
- 10:42Speaker 5: At eight point seven K is a pretty good price
- 10:44Speaker 5: sag and we have seen really good upside from him.
- 10:46Speaker 5: Obviously the eighty three point game, but even against Houston,
- 10:48Speaker 5: he was really good in that one, and that was
- 10:50Speaker 5: a tougher matchup.
- 10:51Speaker 4: So I do think that he's in play for sure.
- 10:53Speaker 2: All right.
- 10:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's again a lot of big spreads
- 10:56Speaker 3: on this late this is one that is supposed to
- 10:59Speaker 3: be competitive. So hunting off a piece here and they're
- 11:01Speaker 3: picking off a piece here and there looks like a
- 11:03Speaker 3: pretty good idea. I think this is a slate we
- 11:05Speaker 3: talked about it. Think of the last show that we
- 11:08Speaker 3: were on. It doesn't feel like a spot where I'm
- 11:10Speaker 3: just gonna have six pieces in one game. I think
- 11:13Speaker 3: you're taking two or three for multiple different teams and
- 11:16Speaker 3: building your roster more so that way than just one
- 11:18Speaker 3: one team or one game environment.
- 11:20Speaker 2: So we'll see.
- 11:21Speaker 3: We'll keep going through the games and see if it
- 11:23Speaker 3: does play out like that the next game on the slate.
- 11:26Speaker 3: I actually wanted to say hi to our man Matt
- 11:28Speaker 3: Bellman in chat as well. Good to see him. Matt's
- 11:32Speaker 3: next game the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks two and
- 11:35Speaker 3: a half point favorite of the Hawks two twenty three
- 11:37Speaker 3: and a half total in this one. You're probably wondering
- 11:39Speaker 3: why the Hawks are favored. Well, there is no Jason
- 11:41Speaker 3: Tatum today and Cada is doubtful. As far as the
- 11:45Speaker 3: Atlanta side, Jack Landell is questionable. Sorting by ownership in
- 11:50Speaker 3: this game, there is not much that is showing. But
- 11:54Speaker 3: I don't think that this is updated ownership like Lucas Gard.
- 11:59Speaker 5: Because the Boston guys, Yeah, I think they just ran
- 12:02Speaker 5: an ownership update.
- 12:04Speaker 3: I was gonna say Jalen Brown's getting owned Cadas or
- 12:08Speaker 3: Luca Garza without Kida is getting open. Jalen Brown without
- 12:11Speaker 3: Tatum is getting ownership. Seeh I mean they updated it.
- 12:15Speaker 3: I still don't believe Jalen Brown's gonna be ten percent
- 12:18Speaker 3: or Guards is going to be twenty one percent necessarily,
- 12:20Speaker 3: but yeah, the Boston guys are definitely getting some ownership
- 12:23Speaker 3: due to the injuries. Yeah, I guess we'll just start
- 12:27Speaker 3: right on the Boston side. Do you think these updated
- 12:29Speaker 3: ownerships are updated enough or do you think that's still
- 12:31Speaker 3: definitely light.
- 12:33Speaker 5: I think Jalen Brown's light. Actually, I think probably all
- 12:36Speaker 5: three of Brown, White and Pritchard are a little light.
- 12:40Speaker 4: Yeah. I kind of agree with you there.
- 12:41Speaker 3: But Garza yeah, twenty percent because center has enough options.
- 12:46Speaker 5: No that that feels right? Okay, Yeah, I guess kind
- 12:49Speaker 5: of starting there, like the guards of stuff is a
- 12:52Speaker 5: little bit.
- 12:53Speaker 4: It's tough to break.
- 12:53Speaker 5: Down because I don't think that he's like a smash
- 12:55Speaker 5: vbuby play, even if he does start. He's had four
- 12:58Speaker 5: starts this season, and one of those came alongside Kada.
- 13:01Speaker 5: I believe he was starting a power forward, but in
- 13:03Speaker 5: the three other starts, he played eleven, ten, and fifteen minutes,
- 13:06Speaker 5: So there's no guarantee that he's gonna be playing like
- 13:08Speaker 5: twenty five to thirty minutes tonight. But with all that
- 13:11Speaker 5: being said, it's kind of hard to project him for
- 13:14Speaker 5: low minutes. I do think that if he is starting,
- 13:16Speaker 5: he's tough to get away from just because he's so
- 13:18Speaker 5: cheap and he is a guy that is a pretty
- 13:20Speaker 5: solid permanent producer. But I do think that they're like
- 13:24Speaker 5: I would probably try to find ways I wouldn't want
- 13:27Speaker 5: to go overboard with my exposure on him.
- 13:30Speaker 4: If I was doing M and me. This is basically
- 13:31Speaker 4: what I would say.
- 13:31Speaker 5: It probably be more like around the field to slightly
- 13:34Speaker 5: over not like a fifty percent own play by any means,
- 13:39Speaker 5: But yeah, Brown, White, and Pritchard are definitely guys.
- 13:41Speaker 4: In considering tonight, I think Jallen Brown is pretty good here.
- 13:43Speaker 5: I also still think that even though there's no Tatum tonight,
- 13:47Speaker 5: I still think that Boston has most of the edge here.
- 13:49Speaker 5: I was on them was it last Friday. I think
- 13:52Speaker 5: these teams faced off and I kind of feel the
- 13:53Speaker 5: same way, like, even with Tatum out, I still think
- 13:56Speaker 5: that Boston has more ways to win this game because
- 13:58Speaker 5: they still have really good team defenders, they have a
- 14:01Speaker 5: really good coach, they have one of the best offenses
- 14:04Speaker 5: in the league, and if Atlanta's not able to generate
- 14:08Speaker 5: enough rim scoring, I think that it could go poorly
- 14:11Speaker 5: for them. So I still think that Boston is the
- 14:13Speaker 5: side here. Yeah, I'm pretty in on Brown. He's gonna
- 14:17Speaker 5: have a tougher matchup against Dyson Daniels. Knight went for
- 14:19Speaker 5: forty one points against him earlier this season, and he
- 14:22Speaker 5: is averaging one point just under one point four fantasy
- 14:24Speaker 5: points for a minute with Tatum and Cato off the
- 14:26Speaker 5: court of the season, so very very solid spin and
- 14:29Speaker 5: boption nine point five k very fine with him. Between
- 14:32Speaker 5: White and Pritchard, I think I'm gonna said with Pritchard here,
- 14:34Speaker 5: I think he's just in much better form. We're starting
- 14:36Speaker 5: to see the sixth Man of the Year Pritcher that
- 14:38Speaker 5: we saw last year. And Derek White, on the other hand,
- 14:41Speaker 5: shooting the ball terribly six for thirty one from three
- 14:43Speaker 5: over his last five games, just really struggling, and he
- 14:47Speaker 5: goes through these types of swings a lot. So I'm
- 14:51Speaker 5: probably just gonna be like a wait and see approach
- 14:53Speaker 5: with White. He is the better permanent producer with all
- 14:55Speaker 5: the on off stuff considered. But I just think that
- 14:58Speaker 5: Pritchard is in a really good form right now, so
- 14:59Speaker 5: I'm in on him fine. With Baylor, shireman at four
- 15:03Speaker 5: point four K should be playing a lot. I think
- 15:05Speaker 5: that they could go small ball here with guys like
- 15:07Speaker 5: Walsh or like Hugo Gonzales. I think that these guys
- 15:09Speaker 5: will be seeing more minutes than usual, so something to consider.
- 15:13Speaker 5: Walsh is definitely a guy considering at three point four
- 15:15Speaker 5: K for Boston Atlanta not much. I think the matchup
- 15:21Speaker 5: is good for nikkek, Alexander Walker and CJ.
- 15:23Speaker 4: McCollum in particular. I don't really know.
- 15:27Speaker 5: If they have the upside you need on this type
- 15:29Speaker 5: of slight that these price tags, But Nick Alexander Walker
- 15:31Speaker 5: does have a pretty solid match up year, and he's
- 15:33Speaker 5: playing really good basketball right now, so I think he's
- 15:35Speaker 5: a guy that I'm considering. And then Jaylen Johnson obviously
- 15:39Speaker 5: always in plays a spend up, but at ten point
- 15:41Speaker 5: seven K, you really need like sixty plus from him.
- 15:44Speaker 4: Not sure he's gonna do that against Boston.
- 15:45Speaker 5: So I think the Celtics side is a lot more
- 15:47Speaker 5: appealing than the Atlanta side tonight.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Yeah, and ownership, I mean definitely reflects that four percent
- 15:53Speaker 3: is the highest we have any Hawk for or I
- 15:56Speaker 3: have our average. If you have the starter plan at
- 15:59Speaker 3: A with us over here with Sabersim, you do get
- 16:02Speaker 3: chip a Nation and you get Sabersim's projections or the
- 16:05Speaker 3: ultimate package. I'm taking the average, and yeah, four percent
- 16:08Speaker 3: own is the highest Hawk. If I had to play one,
- 16:12Speaker 3: I'd probably just play Jalen Johnson as the contrarian spend
- 16:15Speaker 3: and hope he gets you sixty five or seventy or
- 16:17Speaker 3: something like that. But yeah, going based on projection wise,
- 16:20Speaker 3: you're giving them up a lot.
- 16:21Speaker 2: If you're spending all the way up.
- 16:23Speaker 3: It's almost clearly Wemby almost ten points clear of Jalen
- 16:26Speaker 3: Johnson and then the Maxi's the world, the Jalen Browns.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Those are the two. I think they'll be highest after that.
- 16:34Speaker 3: But there's Bam if you want to go u Embad
- 16:39Speaker 3: or something, there's there's plenty of spens that we'll get to.
- 16:42Speaker 3: But I think it's wenby Max you are the too
- 16:43Speaker 3: highest down when people do go all the way up
- 16:46Speaker 3: for Boston, would you be fine playing? Yeah, I don't know,
- 16:52Speaker 3: probably Brown, Derek White, Prichard, like that's too many to
- 16:55Speaker 3: go all three?
- 16:56Speaker 5: Yeah, that's almost always a max two of like the
- 16:59Speaker 5: main four guys when Tatum's healthy for Boston, and.
- 17:03Speaker 3: Then they no Sam Howse, no Howser, no Shiremen, nothing
- 17:07Speaker 3: else besides Garza you don't even necessarily love.
- 17:12Speaker 4: I think that they're fine.
- 17:13Speaker 5: I think for sure, Shireman, Walash, and hous are all
- 17:15Speaker 5: guys that should be in playpools. I don't necessarily think
- 17:19Speaker 5: that they're great value plays by any means, but I
- 17:20Speaker 5: think that there's a chance one of those guys does
- 17:23Speaker 5: something meaningful tonight.
- 17:25Speaker 2: All right, and yeah you can say sorry, go ahead, No, I'm.
- 17:29Speaker 3: Just gonna say for people like you can play Jalen
- 17:32Speaker 3: Brown and Pritchard and no Hawk like is you could
- 17:35Speaker 3: play Garza in their three Boston and no Atlanta Hawks.
- 17:38Speaker 3: They're fully healthy, so I it feels tough to get
- 17:41Speaker 3: to them.
- 17:43Speaker 5: Something that I think that projection systems aren't great at
- 17:48Speaker 5: at like reacting to is when a guy like Caita
- 17:51Speaker 5: or like when a really good defenders actually off the
- 17:53Speaker 5: court for a team, because it's kind of you're kind
- 17:55Speaker 5: of taking like DVP from the entire season when you're
- 17:57Speaker 5: building healthy projections, and I mean, and they are meaningfully
- 18:01Speaker 5: worse without.
- 18:02Speaker 4: Kida on the core.
- 18:03Speaker 5: There go from one o nine point eight defensive rating
- 18:06Speaker 5: with him on versus one fifteen point four with him off.
- 18:09Speaker 5: So that's a pretty pretty big drop off. And so
- 18:12Speaker 5: that's kind of like working in the direction of Jalen
- 18:14Speaker 5: Johnson as a spin up option, I kind of agree
- 18:15Speaker 5: with I think that he as good as could train
- 18:17Speaker 5: spind up. You do have to kind of mess around
- 18:19Speaker 5: with the projection a little bit more to get that
- 18:22Speaker 5: to feel comfortable with him, but I think that he
- 18:24Speaker 5: probably is slightly underprojected than where he should be.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Is there anything of like you play Jail Johnson, you're
- 18:31Speaker 3: more likely to play a Celtic or not really because
- 18:33Speaker 3: the price, like the game's already supposed to be competitive.
- 18:36Speaker 3: You can just hope that all three of them just
- 18:37Speaker 3: have a mediocre game and do it that way.
- 18:40Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I don't.
- 18:42Speaker 5: I don't necessarily think that it's something you got a
- 18:44Speaker 5: force because he can do he could be the only
- 18:46Speaker 5: guy that has a good fantasy score in this game.
- 18:48Speaker 5: Like that's not a really high team game total.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I mean when you compare it to the
- 18:54Speaker 3: first game. First game two forty three and a half
- 18:56Speaker 3: is two twenty three and a half, so full twenty
- 18:58Speaker 3: points less. It's the low twists on the slaves. Yes,
- 19:03Speaker 3: the low sum the slate. I don't got too much
- 19:06Speaker 3: more to add in this game. But before we do
- 19:08Speaker 3: go to the next I just want to show if
- 19:10Speaker 3: you haven't checked us out over at shippination dot com,
- 19:12Speaker 3: this is the homepage just shiping nation dot com. It'll
- 19:15Speaker 3: bring you right here. You go to the bottom left
- 19:17Speaker 3: join the nation. You can see our different options. The
- 19:20Speaker 3: best deal in my opinion right now, just because so
- 19:22Speaker 3: many sports going on. NBA is going on, PGA always
- 19:25Speaker 3: big prizes, MLB of course, MMA, NASCAR, and NHL you
- 19:30Speaker 3: can check all of those sports out and SABERSIM and
- 19:33Speaker 3: access to the discord for nineteen dollars. You get five
- 19:36Speaker 3: days of action, you can build up to one hundred
- 19:39Speaker 3: and fifty teams, you can late swap again. Discords included
- 19:42Speaker 3: a very big piece of our product. I mean, can't
- 19:45Speaker 3: go wrong nineteen dollars for all of the content up here.
- 19:48Speaker 3: The prizes are a mass of a lot of sports.
- 19:49Speaker 3: But if you know you just want the NBA coverage,
- 19:52Speaker 3: if you know you're just gonna want MBA and the
- 19:53Speaker 3: MLB when it's all said and done, we do have
- 19:56Speaker 3: single sport options as well. If you want all of

- 20:13Speaker 3: You're just looking to give us a try your first
- 20:15Speaker 3: time checking it out. I do think this five days
- 20:17Speaker 3: for nineteen dollars is probably your best bet. Next game
- 20:21Speaker 3: on the slates thirty minutes and then again start time
- 20:23Speaker 3: seven Eastern one at seven thirty two at eight, one
- 20:28Speaker 3: at eight thirty one at nine, So not the most
- 20:30Speaker 3: convenient that way, but it's all within two hours at least.
- 20:34Speaker 3: Fandel added two extra games on the slate. I'm glad
- 20:37Speaker 3: DraftKings left those off. Big spread in this one in
- 20:40Speaker 3: Chicago Bulls and the San Antonio Spurs eighteen and that
- 20:42Speaker 3: point favorites are the Spurs two forty four and a
- 20:45Speaker 3: half total in this one. On the Chicago side we
- 20:48Speaker 3: have no Anferony Simons, and then Nick Richards and Java
- 20:53Speaker 3: sell you are both questionable and on the Spurs side
- 20:56Speaker 3: no injury news to talk about. I mean, I was
- 20:59Speaker 3: surprised as a CE a game that's eighteen and a
- 21:01Speaker 3: half point spread getting this much ownership. Obviously, you just
- 21:04Speaker 3: look at the team total. One hundred and thirty one
- 21:06Speaker 3: for the Spurs is crazy, so they can get there
- 21:08Speaker 3: in three quarters without a rotation, without a rotation and
- 21:11Speaker 3: a half. But eighteen and a half is no joke.
- 21:14Speaker 3: And there's Bulls guys like Colin Sexton. I think this
- 21:18Speaker 3: ownership actually might even be light like some of these
- 21:20Speaker 3: Bulls are getting a little bit of ownership as well.
- 21:23Speaker 3: But these two Q takes, I mean that's if they
- 21:25Speaker 3: were both to miss. I'm not sure they will, but
- 21:27Speaker 3: that's they'd be thin in the front court, so that
- 21:29Speaker 3: would change some things.
- 21:31Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean.
- 21:32Speaker 3: You'll probably have roster spots open. You're not gonna be
- 21:35Speaker 3: like jam jam the first two games. You're gonna play
- 21:38Speaker 3: it some, but I assume that you're gonna have decent
- 21:40Speaker 3: amount of spots. If they were both to be out
- 21:42Speaker 3: to I don't know what this obrich Patrick Williams man,
- 21:48Speaker 3: they would be. They'd be small. Wemby would absolutely dominate
- 21:51Speaker 3: like he already will. But yeah, take it away.
- 21:54Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't really know about the injuries for Richards
- 21:57Speaker 4: and Yabu. But yeah, you.
- 21:58Speaker 5: Said, I mean they're gonna be really really thin in
- 22:00Speaker 5: the front court. And I don't even think that they
- 22:01Speaker 5: would play this old brick guy much like they might
- 22:03Speaker 5: just go I think we've seen times in the past
- 22:05Speaker 5: where they go with like Patrick Williams at the five.
- 22:08Speaker 5: They do have Leonard Miller, Yeah, he's just super. They'll
- 22:11Speaker 5: be really small down there. I just don't see how
- 22:13Speaker 5: Wemby doesn't smash either way. But they probably go with
- 22:16Speaker 5: like a little bit of like Leonard Miller two. He's
- 22:18Speaker 5: kind of like a like a wing that can probably
- 22:21Speaker 5: play some small ball. But yeah, I mean the thing
- 22:24Speaker 5: that stood out to me was the massive team Solal
- 22:27Speaker 5: for So the Spurs one thirty one is crazy. I
- 22:29Speaker 5: don't remember if we've seen any of that high before.
- 22:34Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean, I just don't see a situation
- 22:36Speaker 5: where Wemby doesn't do great here. I mean, this was
- 22:38Speaker 5: a very similar matchup to last week. I think when
- 22:42Speaker 5: he played Memphis only played was it twenty seven minutes
- 22:45Speaker 5: to put up sixty three DK points. I mean I
- 22:47Speaker 5: said on that show, I was like, I think he's
- 22:48Speaker 5: gonna go for probably ten plus stocks.
- 22:50Speaker 4: He had three steals and seven blocks, so got that
- 22:52Speaker 4: one right.
- 22:54Speaker 5: Definitely would have been great to get maybe three more
- 22:56Speaker 5: minutes out of him because he's probably going for seventy plus.
- 22:59Speaker 5: But that's just the major concern about spinning up for
- 23:01Speaker 5: Wemby is that he's unlikely to play thirty plus minutes here.
- 23:05Speaker 5: He did go for seventy five against the Bulls earlier
- 23:08Speaker 5: this season. Yeah, I think that he's probably gonna have
- 23:11Speaker 5: to get done in three quarters nextuse. I just don't
- 23:13Speaker 5: think that the Bulls are capable of keeping this game close.
- 23:16Speaker 5: Like I think that Memphis is more likely to keep
- 23:19Speaker 5: a game close. I honestly think that Utah can keep
- 23:21Speaker 5: games closer. I just don't really see it for Chicago
- 23:24Speaker 5: right now. But I think that Wenby is probably a
- 23:26Speaker 5: guy that you'd want to get to a good bit
- 23:29Speaker 5: tonight because I think that he does, especially the slave
- 23:31Speaker 5: being smaller. I don't think that Wemby was needed on
- 23:34Speaker 5: that that slate. I forgot what day was, but it
- 23:36Speaker 5: was a pretty big one and we did get some
- 23:38Speaker 5: other big scores at the center position. So I think
- 23:41Speaker 5: that the center position tonight is a little bit weaker
- 23:44Speaker 5: than that one is or that one was, so he
- 23:46Speaker 5: could even go for sixty five and that be on
- 23:49Speaker 5: the winner here. But I think Castle is great. Put
- 23:53Speaker 5: of a triple double with ease last game against the Bucks.
- 23:55Speaker 5: I think that is something that could definitely happen here. Again,
- 23:58Speaker 5: he's been shooting the ball a lot better as of late.
- 24:00Speaker 5: Darren Fox not shooting the ball great, so kind of
- 24:03Speaker 5: more working in favor of Stefan Castle here. I think
- 24:05Speaker 5: that he's a very interesting option at seven point four K.
- 24:08Speaker 5: I think Fox is he's got to be in played
- 24:10Speaker 5: because the matchup's great. And he's only six point five K.
- 24:13Speaker 5: But I think that I just prefer Castle much more,
- 24:16Speaker 5: and then probably even Harper for less. The minutes have
- 24:19Speaker 5: come down for Harper, so I don't necessarily think that
- 24:21Speaker 5: he's a must have value play, but should be good.
- 24:24Speaker 4: I mean, he's shooting the ball extremely.
- 24:25Speaker 5: Efficiently right now, it's just the minutes haven't really been there.
- 24:28Speaker 5: And then with how big the team total is for
- 24:30Speaker 5: the Spurs, I think that you have to consider guys
- 24:32Speaker 5: like Vessel at four point six k, that's really cheap
- 24:35Speaker 5: for him. Champagnee's got to being played at four point five,
- 24:38Speaker 5: Caldon for sure at four point three K. I honestly
- 24:41Speaker 5: think even like Barnes and Cornett should probably make a playerpool.
- 24:45Speaker 5: I see sam Antoni having a lot of success here bullside.
- 24:49Speaker 5: It's pretty easy. I think it's just sex and I'm
- 24:51Speaker 5: considering tonight. Maybe that changes a little bit with Richard
- 24:54Speaker 5: and Yabu missing, but yeah, I just don't. I don't
- 24:57Speaker 5: really think I want to mess around with a team
- 25:00Speaker 5: in this big of a spread against this good of
- 25:01Speaker 5: a defense.
- 25:03Speaker 3: Let me say tell you that Colen Sexon's twenty nine
- 25:07Speaker 3: percent versus the fifteen let's say thirty make it easy.
- 25:11Speaker 3: Does that change your opinion on him or you still
- 25:13Speaker 3: want to play him? You're still fine with him? At
- 25:14Speaker 3: thirty percent.
- 25:16Speaker 4: Feels like a lot.
- 25:17Speaker 5: And I don't necessarily think that he should be that
- 25:19Speaker 5: high on because the I don't think that he's guaranteed
- 25:23Speaker 5: to be playing these thirty minutes that we've seen for
- 25:25Speaker 5: him these last two games.
- 25:26Speaker 4: They definitely could come back down, like he's in like
- 25:30Speaker 4: the low twenties most nights.
- 25:31Speaker 5: I think he's just a little bit too good for
- 25:33Speaker 5: the Bulls, Like they definitely want to be losing games
- 25:35Speaker 5: right now, and I.
- 25:37Speaker 3: Mean they very well might be a They probably will
- 25:39Speaker 3: be able to lose it, even if Colen Sexton played
- 25:41Speaker 3: a good game. But yeah, because it's the guard forward
- 25:43Speaker 3: eligibility that he has at five K that I think
- 25:45Speaker 3: can lead him to a lot of teams. If one
- 25:50Speaker 3: just say one of Richards or Yabaseli was out, would
- 25:52Speaker 3: that put get you on the other one? I feel
- 25:54Speaker 3: like Gabaselli would be easier because of the power forward eligibility,
- 25:57Speaker 3: But I mean, like if there's no yeah, like they're
- 26:00Speaker 3: gonna need Richard size. Granted he could get early follow
- 26:03Speaker 3: trouble and all that. But assuming one of them's out,
- 26:06Speaker 3: would you have interest in the other? Would it be
- 26:08Speaker 3: dependent on which one's out.
- 26:12Speaker 5: I don't know if it necessarily does enough to bring
- 26:14Speaker 5: these guys into play. I don't think I would be
- 26:18Speaker 5: getting to either one of them, honestly, But I do
- 26:21Speaker 5: see that our guy Ross said Oldbrooks started in the
- 26:25Speaker 5: second half over over?
- 26:27Speaker 4: Who was it over? Leonard Miller? Yeah?
- 26:31Speaker 5: See, I mean if both those guys miss, and you're
- 26:33Speaker 5: telling me Olbrik's gonna be playing like twenty five minutes,
- 26:35Speaker 5: then I think you got to consider him.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. Three point nine k I guess
- 26:41Speaker 2: who would it?
- 26:41Speaker 3: Let's just say him versus Garza, Like we're getting that situation.
- 26:45Speaker 3: That'd be a very that'd be a big decision for
- 26:48Speaker 3: a lot of people.
- 26:50Speaker 4: Yeah, it would. I think I would probably go with
- 26:52Speaker 4: Oldbrike if both those guys miss.
- 26:54Speaker 6: Honestly, all right, cool, I mean obviously the we're hoping
- 27:00Speaker 6: we get that news not just at seven thirty eastern, Like,
- 27:03Speaker 6: if you get that news forty five minutes prior, you
- 27:05Speaker 6: would be able to make that decision between Garden.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Between Ulbrich or Garza.
- 27:11Speaker 3: You could also play both, and then I mean the
- 27:14Speaker 3: probably playing both is your Wemby's just center eligible, so
- 27:16Speaker 3: you're playing Jalen Johnson Max.
- 27:18Speaker 2: It'll get you on a different build.
- 27:19Speaker 3: So I guess you could do that, but you would
- 27:22Speaker 3: need them both to start, probably know, Richard and Yabu
- 27:26Speaker 3: together or.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Both of them being out.
- 27:28Speaker 3: Excuse me, all right, next game on the slate, Appreciate
- 27:30Speaker 3: everyone hanging out all two hundred watching.
- 27:32Speaker 2: NBA is still kicking.
- 27:33Speaker 3: The prizes have went down a little bit unfortunately, but hey,
- 27:36Speaker 3: good viewership prizes. If you take first place, second place,
- 27:40Speaker 3: third place, I promise you are still happy. So I'm
- 27:43Speaker 3: still in the streets. I know Rio still in the streets.
- 27:45Speaker 3: MLB again, we'll be coming up in thirty minutes after
- 27:48Speaker 3: this show. We will have Matt and Naid's talking some
- 27:51Speaker 3: baseball for a nice slate tonight. Five dollars action out
- 27:54Speaker 3: there to fifty thousand to first. I know Rio's favorite
- 27:57Speaker 3: loves is five dollars. Next game on this the Phoenix
- 28:00Speaker 3: Suns and the Memphis Grizzlies. Twelve and nine point favorites
- 28:04Speaker 3: of the Suns two twenty nine and a half total
- 28:05Speaker 3: in this one on the Phoenix side, Grayson Allen is questionable.
- 28:09Speaker 3: As far as Memphis, no, Jalen Wells, prosper, Javon Small,
- 28:15Speaker 3: Taj Gibson doubtful, Walter Clayton, Jirou both questionable. That's a
- 28:20Speaker 3: lot of moving parts on the Memphis side, but I
- 28:23Speaker 3: mean that's stuff's important. Walter Clayton and Jerau both questionable.
- 28:27Speaker 3: You already can see they don't have the most amount
- 28:29Speaker 3: of bodies. Yeah, I think that brings Cedric Coward, Cam Spencer,
- 28:35Speaker 3: maybe even Mayshack down there and play a little bit. So,
- 28:38Speaker 3: I mean, the highest priced guy on the Grizzlies is
- 28:40Speaker 3: five point seven k right now, So even though they
- 28:43Speaker 3: are pretty big underdogs, like this feels like the spot
- 28:45Speaker 3: and it's not gonna sneak past anyone, but if you
- 28:48Speaker 3: need value, this is the it feels the most comfortable.
- 28:51Speaker 4: Now.
- 28:51Speaker 3: With that being said, if Jerou and Clayton both play like,
- 28:54Speaker 3: there's still plenty of part ways that this can fail.
- 28:57Speaker 3: But I guess, do you have a good read if
- 28:58Speaker 3: it does blow out? Who's kind of getting that garbage
- 29:00Speaker 3: time at the end run?
- 29:02Speaker 2: No?
- 29:03Speaker 5: I don't because the at least from a couple of
- 29:06Speaker 5: weeks ago, the way that they're doing the rotations.
- 29:08Speaker 4: It was like a.
- 29:11Speaker 5: Like the kind of like a line change like in hockey,
- 29:14Speaker 5: Like they just took these guys out at the exact
- 29:16Speaker 5: like there was no no cutout, like if somebody's doing well,
- 29:19Speaker 5: it didn't matter, they're going to pull them.
- 29:20Speaker 3: No rhyme or reason. They just five was it five
- 29:23Speaker 3: v five hockey change or was it three v three?
- 29:25Speaker 5: Like it was like like three like I think it's
- 29:27Speaker 5: mostly threes, but like it was, it didn't matter if
- 29:30Speaker 5: somebody was hot. They were getting pulled dead like they
- 29:32Speaker 5: were trying to keep everybody with flat minutes throughout the
- 29:35Speaker 5: whole thing. So I don't think that really matters too
- 29:37Speaker 5: much who's in or out during blowout, Like.
- 29:39Speaker 4: They'll be playing coward and blowout for a little bit.
- 29:41Speaker 5: They'll play gig a little bit, like they're not going
- 29:43Speaker 5: to pull them just because the game isn't close. They're
- 29:45Speaker 5: going to get their normal rotation regardless. So I guess
- 29:49Speaker 5: with that said, if if they have ten guys tonight,
- 29:52Speaker 5: then it's a max two of Memphis. It's kind of
- 29:54Speaker 5: what I've always been doing this season with them. I
- 29:56Speaker 5: think that they get a little bit overplayed for how
- 29:58Speaker 5: often they are actually optimal. But I do think that
- 30:01Speaker 5: Cam Spencer in particular looks really good. Like I think
- 30:03Speaker 5: I have him ahead of Pala, I have him ahead
- 30:07Speaker 5: of Consects and with the same eligibility. He's cheaper than
- 30:10Speaker 5: both those guys, and I think just a much better
- 30:12Speaker 5: option at just what the upside that he has, So
- 30:15Speaker 5: he's definitely my favorite option. I think that if Clayton
- 30:18Speaker 5: and or one of Clayton or Dureau miss, those guys
- 30:21Speaker 5: have been taken on a lot of ball handling lately
- 30:23Speaker 5: and that would only benefit Cam Spencer more. So I
- 30:26Speaker 5: think there's a lot to like about Spencer tonight. Either way,
- 30:29Speaker 5: he can only get a lot better if those guys
- 30:31Speaker 5: were to miss. I think Coward is interesting because he's
- 30:35Speaker 5: the most expensive and probably gonna be the lowest owned.
- 30:38Speaker 5: There was some positive speak about him from the Memphis
- 30:41Speaker 5: Grizzy head coach basically said, like he's the guy that
- 30:44Speaker 5: we're looking to develop right now, Like he's going to
- 30:46Speaker 5: be the focal point of the offense. You saw nineteen
- 30:48Speaker 5: shots last game against Chicago, filled up the stat sheet,
- 30:51Speaker 5: nine rebounds for USS Forrest steels. Like he's a really
- 30:54Speaker 5: really good player, and I don't think that Phoenix is
- 30:58Speaker 5: that great defensively right now with no Mark Williams and
- 31:01Speaker 5: no Dylan Brooks, I think that Coward is kind of
- 31:03Speaker 5: an interesting option at that price tag. I imagine he'd
- 31:07Speaker 5: probably stayed pretty low owned if Hendricks is owned. I
- 31:12Speaker 5: want to get away from that because I don't think
- 31:13Speaker 5: he's a very good permanent producer.
- 31:17Speaker 4: Gigi, I guess is fine. Never really love playing him. Yeah,
- 31:21Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 31:21Speaker 5: I'm just kind of kind of follow projections of this one,
- 31:25Speaker 5: but I would say that Spencer for sure is my favorite,
- 31:27Speaker 5: and then Cedric Coward kind of a close second.
- 31:30Speaker 4: For the Sun side of things, I mean, Booker and
- 31:33Speaker 4: Jalen Green are going to have their way with the
- 31:34Speaker 4: Memphis defense.
- 31:35Speaker 5: I mean, this team is getting beat everywhere, but their
- 31:38Speaker 5: rim defense has been awful as well as their rebounding.
- 31:40Speaker 5: But they do give a lot of threes as well.
- 31:42Speaker 5: We saw a lot of the offense running through Jalen
- 31:44Speaker 5: Green last game versus Utah. They were trying to get
- 31:46Speaker 5: him downhill to the basket. And this is a much
- 31:49Speaker 5: better matchup than that one versus versus Utah because they
- 31:53Speaker 5: just have no size in Memphis. They're one of the
- 31:55Speaker 5: worst riom defenses in the league over the last month
- 31:58Speaker 5: or two. So I do think that if we can
- 32:00Speaker 5: get a close enough game where we get twenty eight
- 32:02Speaker 5: to thirty two minutes from Jalen Green, he has a
- 32:05Speaker 5: really really good chance of putting up a big score here.
- 32:07Speaker 5: So I'm definitely interested in Jalen Green tonight in particular.
- 32:11Speaker 5: I think Oh Soo has a good matchup, just don't
- 32:12Speaker 5: really know if the upside is there for him. Royce
- 32:16Speaker 5: is pretty good at four point six K, good three
- 32:18Speaker 5: point shooter versus a beat three point defense. I think
- 32:21Speaker 5: Booker might be he might be priced out for me.
- 32:23Speaker 5: I think I want to get to him, and he
- 32:26Speaker 5: seems like one of those guys that would like get
- 32:28Speaker 5: up for like a really big game and probably take
- 32:30Speaker 5: more of a backseat against a team like Memphis and
- 32:33Speaker 5: kind of let the other guys cook a little bit.
- 32:34Speaker 5: So I'm in on Jalen Green tonight for sure.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Though, all right, I mean, yeah, definitely gonna be contrary
- 32:40Speaker 3: and spend is Green. I do think Hendrix, like you said,
- 32:43Speaker 3: he's gonna I would take the over eleven percent. Now,
- 32:46Speaker 3: all these Memphis guys are kind of gonna eat into
- 32:49Speaker 3: each other. If jer Row and Clayton are out, then yeah,
- 32:51Speaker 3: you're gonna see like Cam Spencer will be one of
- 32:53Speaker 3: the chalkier options. I think Coward probably then gets some ownership.
- 32:57Speaker 3: All these Memphis guys would. If just one of them
- 32:59Speaker 3: are out, I think the other that's in of Jera
- 33:02Speaker 3: and Clayton would definitely be pretty popular since their ball
- 33:05Speaker 3: handling would go up a lot. And if both are in,
- 33:07Speaker 3: I think they both kind of just eat into each
- 33:09Speaker 3: other a little bit, maybe more Clayton or maybe whoever starts.
- 33:14Speaker 3: How would you put Colin Sexton, who he just talked
- 33:17Speaker 3: about against some of these because he's guard and ford
- 33:19Speaker 3: eligibility against some of these like Hendrix's, Jackson's, even Clayton's
- 33:25Speaker 3: Cam Spencer. I guess you could throw Sam Merrill into.
- 33:28Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be another one of the value
- 33:30Speaker 3: plays that gets a good amount of ownership.
- 33:33Speaker 2: So I think it's probably those two.
- 33:34Speaker 3: And then yeah, like you mentioned Pelle Larson a little bit,
- 33:38Speaker 3: but then it's the Memphis guys.
- 33:40Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I would say that if these are
- 33:43Speaker 5: you saying, if these guys are out, Duau and Clayton
- 33:45Speaker 5: are no.
- 33:45Speaker 3: No, if they're out. I feel like Memphis guys have
- 33:48Speaker 3: to be better assuming they're in. I think I think
- 33:50Speaker 3: it's more of a question.
- 33:52Speaker 5: Yeah, if that's the case, then I would probably I'd
- 33:54Speaker 5: rather play Sexton over Hendrix, but probably not ahead of Gigi.
- 34:00Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean he's.
- 34:01Speaker 5: Pretty far behind Cam Spencer for me, Camp Spencer is
- 34:04Speaker 5: definitely the number one probably the number one value play
- 34:07Speaker 5: I'm looking at right now. Yeah, I would definitely have
- 34:11Speaker 5: sex in ahead of Hendrix, but probably behind those other guys.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Do you have a lien on the Grayson Q tag?
- 34:17Speaker 3: This game is at eightiestern people are saying like if
- 34:20Speaker 3: no Grayson con Gillespie were talking good Win again. So
- 34:24Speaker 3: he did come back and he played twenty minutes, but
- 34:28Speaker 3: he had a day off. Do they play tomorrow? I
- 34:30Speaker 3: should look at that because it'd be smart. Yeah, they
- 34:34Speaker 3: do play the Magic tomorrow on the road. So I
- 34:37Speaker 3: guess if you're just like thinking logically, I mean, maybe
- 34:42Speaker 3: he's he's kind of up to speed and it's just
- 34:44Speaker 3: more of a minute's conditioning thing now, but do you
- 34:46Speaker 3: have any lien on his status? And then would you
- 34:49Speaker 3: be going to Gilaspie or Goodwin if he's out?
- 34:52Speaker 5: I don't have a lien, but he's been dealing with
- 34:54Speaker 5: this kne injury all seasons. I feel like if there
- 34:56Speaker 5: is a time to give him a night off, a
- 34:58Speaker 5: game against Memphis is probably that time. Probably want him
- 35:01Speaker 5: more against a team like the Magic, and yeah, if
- 35:05Speaker 5: he's out, then I think you can get into like
- 35:07Speaker 5: the good Wines and Glassie would definitely ge a little
- 35:09Speaker 5: bit better, probably make Jalen Green and Booker Royce look
- 35:12Speaker 5: a lot better as well. I guess Goodwin would be
- 35:16Speaker 5: a guy that I'd be looking at mostly. I do
- 35:18Speaker 5: like playing Gillespie a lot, but I don't know, Uh,
- 35:22Speaker 5: just feels like with Green getting more activated and healthier
- 35:26Speaker 5: it's been, he's taking like a pretty big back seat,
- 35:28Speaker 5: and if he's not knocking down his shots, it's tough
- 35:31Speaker 5: for him to reach a had to have score, So
- 35:34Speaker 5: I think I probably I probably would go with a
- 35:36Speaker 5: good one. Just kind of worry that they would spread
- 35:40Speaker 5: out the rotation a little bit more, and it's against
- 35:43Speaker 5: team like Memphis, like they wouldn't necessarily be running up
- 35:46Speaker 5: good Wines like thirty minutes. I don't think that he'd
- 35:48Speaker 5: be like, I must have value played by any means,
- 35:49Speaker 5: if Grayson were to be out.
- 35:51Speaker 3: All right, great breakdown, as always, keep a rolling next game,
- 35:55Speaker 3: I'm the slate the Minnesota Timberwolves seven that point favorites
- 35:58Speaker 3: over the Dallas Mavericks two thirty five and a half total.
- 36:01Speaker 3: Jada McDaniel's out for the tim Wolves, Anthony Edwards is questionable.
- 36:05Speaker 3: On the Dallas side, Caleb Martin doubtful, and then pj
- 36:09Speaker 3: Na G. Marshall and Marvin Bagley all questionable. Those are
- 36:13Speaker 3: some important Q tags. But yeah, I mean, this game
- 36:16Speaker 3: at a thirty eastern assuming we don't get a thirty minutes.
- 36:20Speaker 3: If you get it prior to, like like ten minutes
- 36:22Speaker 3: before this this Bowls game, in the Sun's game, then
- 36:26Speaker 3: you'll have more spots to make changes. But assuming like
- 36:30Speaker 3: it's a minute before, if it's at seven fifty nine
- 36:33Speaker 3: or eight on the dot, I'm not exactly sure how
- 36:36Speaker 3: much flexibility you'll have if you do not plan for it. So, yeah,
- 36:41Speaker 3: what are your thoughts in is there any merit to backloading?
- 36:44Speaker 3: And then do you have a lean on? I mean,
- 36:46Speaker 3: there's a lot of Q takes and they're important ones
- 36:48Speaker 3: in this game.
- 36:50Speaker 4: I don't know about the Dallas stuff.
- 36:52Speaker 5: Really, illnesses are never great and two guys from the
- 36:55Speaker 5: same team having one kind of it could be something
- 36:58Speaker 5: in the locker room that keeps them out. So there's
- 37:00Speaker 5: a chance that both NAG and PJ were to miss,
- 37:03Speaker 5: but I don't really have a strong lean there, so
- 37:04Speaker 5: definitely kind of flying blind. But for Ant, I do
- 37:07Speaker 5: think Ant is back tonight. He this is kind of
- 37:09Speaker 5: the he can't miss another game or he will be
- 37:12Speaker 5: ineligible for NBA awards. I think he's up for maybe
- 37:16Speaker 5: Clutch Player of the Year. I don't know if you
- 37:19Speaker 5: have like the market.
- 37:21Speaker 3: Right now, what kind of the rewards that though, When
- 37:24Speaker 3: did that start? I think that a little bit, and
- 37:29Speaker 3: that's the clutch is minus nine hundred SGA.
- 37:32Speaker 5: Okay, he's up for something. I think maybe it's like
- 37:35Speaker 5: all NBA team things like that. But he can't miss
- 37:39Speaker 5: another game because then he'll be he'll be ineligible. So
- 37:41Speaker 5: I feel like he's back, and I feel like they
- 37:43Speaker 5: are like this could be a situation that was similar
- 37:45Speaker 5: to Jokic. If you guys remember like when he returned,
- 37:49Speaker 5: he was kind of like he was pretty limited, and
- 37:53Speaker 5: you know, it wasn't didn't really look like himself, And
- 37:54Speaker 5: I think that they're kind of rushing him back just
- 37:56Speaker 5: to get make sure that he was eligible for like
- 37:58Speaker 5: MVP and all these other things. So it could be
- 38:00Speaker 5: a situation like that with Ann where he's playing like
- 38:03Speaker 5: mid to upper twenties minutes and wouldn't it be full
- 38:06Speaker 5: like he might be might be still dealing with the
- 38:08Speaker 5: knee injury because they initially said like a couple of weeks,
- 38:10Speaker 5: but you know, Jada mcganiels also got injured, so maybe
- 38:13Speaker 5: there's something going on there where they need to rush
- 38:16Speaker 5: him back.
- 38:16Speaker 4: But I don't know.
- 38:18Speaker 5: I'm a little bit, like a little bit worried about
- 38:21Speaker 5: the the minutes range for Ann because I do think
- 38:23Speaker 5: that he's a guy that is pretty durable and if
- 38:25Speaker 5: he's if he's.
- 38:26Speaker 4: In like if he's playing, he's gonna play his full minutes.
- 38:28Speaker 5: But just kind of some question marks about his minutes tonight.
- 38:33Speaker 5: I don't really think that I'm going to be considering
- 38:35Speaker 5: him tonight, just even with how good the matchup is
- 38:38Speaker 5: just too concerned about the knee thing for him. But
- 38:41Speaker 5: I think Randall is in play for sure.
- 38:43Speaker 4: This is a homecoming game for him.
- 38:45Speaker 5: He love a ton of people in the stands and
- 38:48Speaker 5: he's played very well against Dallas He's played again or
- 38:51Speaker 5: at Dallas three times as a member of the Wolves,
- 38:53Speaker 5: averaging forty two and a half DK points per game.
- 38:56Speaker 4: Hasn't really had like a really big score just yet.
- 38:59Speaker 5: But I do think that this is a pretty good
- 39:01Speaker 5: spot for him for him tonight because Dallas is very
- 39:04Speaker 5: poor at the way that he likes to score defensively,
- 39:08Speaker 5: really good or really bad room defense.
- 39:10Speaker 4: I think that Randall is for sure and play. I
- 39:13Speaker 4: don't think I'm gonna get there to.
- 39:14Speaker 5: Rudy, and then Nasried is a guy that's probably gonna
- 39:18Speaker 5: be asked to do a lot more.
- 39:19Speaker 4: With Jada McDaniels out.
- 39:22Speaker 5: I kind of find him a tougher fade just because
- 39:26Speaker 5: he's so cheap and has good eligibility. But he's been
- 39:28Speaker 5: done with the shoulder injury for a couple of games,
- 39:31Speaker 5: and I mean, he's shooting horribly because of the shoulder. They've,
- 39:35Speaker 5: like a lot of the beat writers and all the
- 39:37Speaker 5: reporting around is that's kind of the reason he's shooting bad.
- 39:39Speaker 5: But he's shooting twenty percent from three over the last
- 39:41Speaker 5: six games. I don't know, there's like chance that he
- 39:44Speaker 5: could be a decent fade, but I would be I'd
- 39:46Speaker 5: probably be playing him in single untry and then trying
- 39:49Speaker 5: to figure out what to do in mm ME because
- 39:50Speaker 5: just a little bit worried about the shoulder thing for him.
- 39:53Speaker 5: He did come through in a pretty big way against Houston,
- 39:55Speaker 5: got the double double, played thirty one minutes, so that
- 39:58Speaker 5: was good to see. But yeah, still not shooting all
- 40:00Speaker 5: great right now.
- 40:02Speaker 4: I think that's it for the Wolves. Really.
- 40:06Speaker 5: I think that all these guys are pretty much in
- 40:07Speaker 5: play because it's a great matchup, but some question, some
- 40:12Speaker 5: concerns about some of these guys.
- 40:14Speaker 3: The sick, the concern like you have with ant that
- 40:17Speaker 3: can only help a Randall er a nas Dante some
- 40:20Speaker 3: of these other guys more where it's not even gonna
- 40:23Speaker 3: be baked into projection that way. So the Julius Randall call,
- 40:26Speaker 3: I'm like that someone brought him narrative and MLB, you
- 40:29Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like, that's the last thing I
- 40:31Speaker 3: could care about there. But I I totally buy in
- 40:33Speaker 3: in certain spots, especially when the spread is maybe a
- 40:36Speaker 3: little bigger, it's already like an okay spot and then
- 40:39Speaker 3: you're just oh yeah, I mean it's Julius Randal of
- 40:42Speaker 3: all people too. I mean, this dude just puts his
- 40:43Speaker 3: head down half the time and doesn't even look up.
- 40:46Speaker 3: So yeah, maybe he does that a couple more times
- 40:48Speaker 3: in a game like this with all this family there,
- 40:51Speaker 3: and he wants to show out.
- 40:52Speaker 2: I can.
- 40:53Speaker 3: I tell myself stories like that in the NBA all
- 40:55Speaker 3: the time. So yeah, and if ant is limited or
- 41:00Speaker 3: more reserved and stuff like that, I mean, it's only
- 41:02Speaker 3: benefits these guys, and that's not going to be shown
- 41:05Speaker 3: in projections.
- 41:05Speaker 2: So I like that a lot.
- 41:08Speaker 5: So you tell me you didn't believe the Tyler O'Neill
- 41:10Speaker 5: opening day home run. I heard you what I heard
- 41:13Speaker 5: you talking about that?
- 41:14Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no one's slid in the DM's no free cheese,
- 41:17Speaker 3: but yeah, that's or what.
- 41:20Speaker 2: I don't know. There was another one.
- 41:21Speaker 3: I don't know if it was this going against an
- 41:24Speaker 3: old picture or this or that, Like I guess if
- 41:26Speaker 3: you're trying to talk to me to anything like a
- 41:29Speaker 3: little ramp, But yeah, I guess if you were the
- 41:31Speaker 3: catcher of a pitcher that you caught for for so
- 41:33Speaker 3: many years, that's the one maybe I could get behind,
- 41:36Speaker 3: since you know his pitch mix this and that.
- 41:39Speaker 2: But other than that, baseball is so hard as it is.
- 41:41Speaker 3: These guys are always trying every at bat, whether it's
- 41:44Speaker 3: mid July when twenty people are in the stands for
- 41:47Speaker 3: the Oakland A's, these guys are still trying to do
- 41:50Speaker 3: their job, Whereas I think the motivation level you bring
- 41:53Speaker 3: it up sometimes is different for some of these guys.
- 41:56Speaker 3: Devin Booker against Memphis, you just talked about versus Boston
- 42:00Speaker 3: or whatever it may be in November. So yeah, yeah,
- 42:04Speaker 3: I mean that's that's a that's a whole other talk too.
- 42:07Speaker 3: Talking about batter versus BVP, that's a that's a whole discussion,
- 42:12Speaker 3: And I don't know, we'll probably never know what's right
- 42:15Speaker 3: or what's wrong. It probably differs from each person. But
- 42:17Speaker 3: that's the rate you can keep coming back to this game.
- 42:20Speaker 5: I was gonna say it depends who you asked. I
- 42:21Speaker 5: feel like that the BVP stuff is a hot topic.
- 42:24Speaker 4: Yeah, But on the.
- 42:25Speaker 5: Dallas side, I'm pretty interested in Cooper flag here. He
- 42:28Speaker 5: did and the price is up there only point guard
- 42:30Speaker 5: eligible now, so that you might be getting a discount
- 42:33Speaker 5: of ownership on him because he's only had that point
- 42:35Speaker 5: guard small forward, but definitely.
- 42:38Speaker 4: Earned the price tag.
- 42:40Speaker 5: The minutes are way up there, there's no restriction his
- 42:42Speaker 5: role has been really good upticking drives and touch time.
- 42:45Speaker 4: You also have Jada McDaniels.
- 42:46Speaker 5: Also, the same thing I mentioned with Kada, Like they're
- 42:48Speaker 5: gonna be without their best, literally their best, like one
- 42:51Speaker 5: of the best defenders at sewing down at Gully Cooper fact,
- 42:53Speaker 5: Like look what McDaniels did to Kevin Durant. They're gonna
- 42:57Speaker 5: be without that type of defender. Like, I really do
- 42:58Speaker 5: think that Flag has a very very strong case for
- 43:02Speaker 5: upside tonight. The pick and roll defense for the Wolves
- 43:05Speaker 5: still one of the worst in the NBA. I believe
- 43:07Speaker 5: they are dead last at pickroll defense. There's really a
- 43:09Speaker 5: lot working in Cooper, Flag's flavorite favorite tonight.
- 43:15Speaker 4: Yes, I'm in on him, just I think that he's.
- 43:17Speaker 5: A really really strong option tonight in nine but two
- 43:19Speaker 5: K I also have the I guess I don't know
- 43:21Speaker 5: if it's narratively, but like the Rookie of the Year
- 43:23Speaker 5: race definitely coming down to the wire, and I think
- 43:25Speaker 5: that he's making a strong case for it right now.
- 43:28Speaker 3: CON's pulled away since we've talked last, not pulled away,
- 43:30Speaker 3: but it's now minus two fifty.
- 43:32Speaker 2: I believe I just.
- 43:33Speaker 4: Saw Okay, maybe I'm wrong there but I mean.
- 43:36Speaker 3: That's close minus two fifty versus these other ones are
- 43:40Speaker 3: actually no, it's now it's Sga and Wenby.
- 43:42Speaker 2: Are pretty close.
- 43:43Speaker 3: For MVP, it was like minus nine hundred now down
- 43:46Speaker 3: to minus two twenty five. But I mean that's we
- 43:48Speaker 3: see stuff like that all the time. Yukon just wanted
- 43:51Speaker 3: a plus two hunderdog you see in the MMA streets
- 43:53Speaker 3: all the time, Like that's not as crazy as we think.
- 43:56Speaker 3: Now plus two minus two fifty plus one ninety five.
- 44:02Speaker 5: Yeah, So flag vary in on him tonight. And then
- 44:05Speaker 5: Gafford is a guy that I will be getting to
- 44:07Speaker 5: a little bit. Four point nine to nine k is
- 44:09Speaker 5: a really good price for him, regardless of matchup. He's
- 44:11Speaker 5: been playing really good. And then also if Bagley were
- 44:15Speaker 5: to miss probably a little bit more minutes going because
- 44:18Speaker 5: WA because I don't think that they want to play
- 44:19Speaker 5: Dwight Powell much. And then also PG Washington being able
- 44:23Speaker 5: kind of eliminates the small ball linup. So you could
- 44:26Speaker 5: definitely make the case that Gafford probably playing like twenty
- 44:29Speaker 5: seven to twenty eight minutes tonight, which would always be
- 44:33Speaker 5: something I'm looking to play.
- 44:36Speaker 3: Did you mention I was just looking at some real quick,
- 44:39Speaker 3: like the PJ. Bagley and Nausea. You don't know about
- 44:42Speaker 3: the Q Taggs, but just say they're all gonna miss
- 44:45Speaker 3: like the Chris Middletons, the Christie's Clay Brandon Williams obviously
- 44:50Speaker 3: only helps Flag. But where would those guys then that
- 44:53Speaker 3: line up against Memphis value in some of these other spots.
- 44:57Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess it would depend on who's inn out
- 45:00Speaker 4: for Memphis, because if they have all their ten guys
- 45:02Speaker 4: like I would to assume they're in Okay, then yeah,
- 45:04Speaker 4: I would.
- 45:05Speaker 5: I'd rather play the Dallas guys and I'd be get
- 45:07Speaker 5: into I mean, Flag would be really good.
- 45:10Speaker 4: I think that you're.
- 45:11Speaker 5: Probably considering Clay now, like Middleton would probably be back
- 45:15Speaker 5: in play now.
- 45:16Speaker 4: I think he's pretty cheap too. He has only three
- 45:18Speaker 4: point four K.
- 45:18Speaker 5: Like, these guys are super cheap and they will have
- 45:21Speaker 5: real roles, so I would probably.
- 45:24Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that they're I would probably play the
- 45:26Speaker 4: Dallas guys over Memphis if we get those guys out.
- 45:29Speaker 3: All right, cool, let's take it into the last game
- 45:32Speaker 3: of the nights again.
- 45:33Speaker 2: Appreciate everyone hanging out.

- 46:12Speaker 3: packages as well. You can check out everything over here
- 46:15Speaker 3: at Join the Nation. Last game of the night the
- 46:19Speaker 3: Cleveland Cavaliers and Rio's Utah Jazz sixty and nine point
- 46:22Speaker 3: favorites of the calves two forty one and a half
- 46:24Speaker 3: total in this one on the Cleveland side. No Jared Allen,
- 46:29Speaker 3: no Dean Wade, no Max Struce, no Jalen Tyson on
- 46:33Speaker 3: the Utah side, no new injury to talk about here.
- 46:37Speaker 3: So yeah, really big spread in this one like there
- 46:40Speaker 3: was on the San Antonio game, but it is getting ownership.
- 46:43Speaker 2: All the ownership is going to the Cave side.
- 46:46Speaker 3: Now, with that being said, I don't necessarily know how
- 46:48Speaker 3: much I believe that these guys are going to be
- 46:51Speaker 3: twenty five, twenty one, twenty one.
- 46:53Speaker 2: If we're talking.
- 46:54Speaker 3: About like some of the Celtics guys being more chalkier,
- 46:58Speaker 3: maybe Memphis or Sexton being more popular, it has to
- 47:02Speaker 3: come from somewhere and right now, if I had to
- 47:05Speaker 3: poke holes that ownership right now, I think I would
- 47:08Speaker 3: take some off of these Cleveland spot But maybe I'm wrong,
- 47:10Speaker 3: maybe you see it differently. I just they're relatively I
- 47:13Speaker 3: mean they're they're thin, but they're not thin, and a
- 47:16Speaker 3: really big spread still with Harden and Mitchell that are
- 47:19Speaker 3: taking a lot of the usage. So I mean, if
- 47:22Speaker 3: all this ownership's accurate, I'm hardly going here at all.
- 47:25Speaker 3: But I actually thought Sam Merrill would be the chalkiest
- 47:28Speaker 3: value on Cleveland, at least one of them.
- 47:30Speaker 2: So maybe I'm seeing it wrong. But take away your
- 47:32Speaker 2: Utah and the Cleveland side.
- 47:35Speaker 5: I think you made a good point though, Like if
- 47:36Speaker 5: these guys are this highly owned, then like you're probably
- 47:40Speaker 5: it's something you're making the case like be underweight them tho.
- 47:43Speaker 2: Oh for sure.
- 47:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's plenty of there's so much other
- 47:47Speaker 3: we've talked about a plethora of value or something on
- 47:49Speaker 3: this late that I almost thinks better in a vacuum
- 47:53Speaker 3: like hard it's still Harden and Mitchell that are gonna
- 47:55Speaker 3: be running the show, and yeah, Merrill will have his
- 47:57Speaker 3: spot up three reason MOBILEI still there like these sound
- 48:00Speaker 3: like these guys are just getting a huge usage bump
- 48:02Speaker 3: for all this. So I most definitely Memphis looks like
- 48:06Speaker 3: the best boty, especially if one or Clayton or Dreau
- 48:08Speaker 3: are out, Like I mean, yeah, they're playing their rotations,
- 48:11Speaker 3: so you're not worried about ball run.
- 48:13Speaker 2: You know you're not gonna get a ton of minutes.
- 48:15Speaker 3: But when the highest priced guy's five point seven k,
- 48:17Speaker 3: feels like someone's at least going to get there.
- 48:20Speaker 5: I would imagine that ownership pulls away from this game
- 48:23Speaker 5: the more like the closer we get to lock, like
- 48:25Speaker 5: imagine that the Memphis guys are out, or we get
- 48:29Speaker 5: the more clarity on the Dallas stuff like, it can
- 48:31Speaker 5: only take away from the Cleveland guys, I would imagine,
- 48:33Speaker 5: which I guess then would kind of make them more
- 48:36Speaker 5: interesting because I don't think that these guys are gonna
- 48:38Speaker 5: fail like they're They're gonna have a lot of offensive
- 48:43Speaker 5: success here. It's just mainly that the game is gonna
- 48:46Speaker 5: blow out and they are not as in as some
- 48:48Speaker 5: of those other teams. But I could see like a
- 48:50Speaker 5: situation if Merrill the ownership comes back down like single digits,
- 48:53Speaker 5: then I'd be pretty interested because it's a great, great
- 48:56Speaker 5: matchup for him. I guess there's also some narratives here
- 48:59Speaker 5: too in this game. Obviously, the obvious one is Donovan Mitchell.
- 49:03Speaker 5: This would be his third time playing at Utah. Last
- 49:06Speaker 5: year he didn't play a ton because it was a
- 49:09Speaker 5: huge blowout. He only put up sixteen three and four,
- 49:11Speaker 5: but then the first time they played went for forty six,
- 49:14Speaker 5: five and six. I think if the game is close,
- 49:17Speaker 5: and I actually do think that Utah could hang around
- 49:20Speaker 5: more than like a bulls can. I think the Memphis
- 49:23Speaker 5: I already said Memphis I think can hang around. But
- 49:25Speaker 5: I think that Utah is definitely capable of hanging around.
- 49:27Speaker 5: And they're gonna be playing guys like they're better players
- 49:30Speaker 5: and not like Ace and sen Saba and Philipowski normal
- 49:34Speaker 5: minutes because they know that they're probably gonna lose this one,
- 49:37Speaker 5: but I mean they hung around with Denver like Borderline
- 49:40Speaker 5: won that game obviously kind of chromed at the end,
- 49:42Speaker 5: which was great, But they can they can hang around
- 49:45Speaker 5: with these teams and then you get like kind of
- 49:47Speaker 5: the perfect storm where it's really high scoring, there's very
- 49:50Speaker 5: little defense played, and the Studs play their normal menace
- 49:54Speaker 5: and just go off like we saw Jamal and Jokic have.
- 49:56Speaker 4: Huge games against the Jazz and close ones.
- 49:59Speaker 5: So I do think that if we run into the
- 50:01Speaker 5: perfect scenario like that, then guys like Mitchell and Harden
- 50:03Speaker 5: and Mobley have to be in play.
- 50:05Speaker 4: I think that Mobley is kind.
- 50:07Speaker 5: Of great regardless here, mainly because the price tag is
- 50:11Speaker 5: down to eight point four K. But with Jared Allen out,
- 50:13Speaker 5: he really sees a big, big boost and his role
- 50:16Speaker 5: changes a lot too. He kind of operates more off ball,
- 50:20Speaker 5: like they kind of put him in the corner when
- 50:22Speaker 5: it's Jared Allen and James Harden and all those guys
- 50:25Speaker 5: on the court together because Allen and Harden have shown
- 50:29Speaker 5: so much chemistry together.
- 50:30Speaker 4: But they're gonna definitely be looking.
- 50:32Speaker 5: To get him more involved as a pick and roll
- 50:34Speaker 5: partner with James Harden tonight, and we know that you
- 50:36Speaker 5: can really get unlocked some really big games when you
- 50:40Speaker 5: get that pairing with Harden. So I think that Mobley
- 50:42Speaker 5: very very strong option tonight. Love attacking Kyle Filapowski's an
- 50:45Speaker 5: awful defender. They have a very young team, turnover prone team.
- 50:51Speaker 5: I think they could really really fill it out tonight,
- 50:53Speaker 5: So I'm in on him. I think Harden's probably my
- 50:56Speaker 5: least favorite of the three, but the role is great
- 50:58Speaker 5: for him. Seven minutes a touchdown per game with Cleveland.
- 51:01Speaker 5: Love the matchup, but I think that the upside is
- 51:04Speaker 5: better for Mitchell and Mobiley.
- 51:07Speaker 2: It's Harden ever got there?
- 51:09Speaker 1: Bro?
- 51:10Speaker 4: He had to play a sixty point game once.
- 51:12Speaker 3: Sixty five, like two and a half weeks ago. Other
- 51:15Speaker 3: than that, I mean January nineteenth was the last time
- 51:19Speaker 3: he scored sixty over sixty, which is sixty point seventy five.
- 51:23Speaker 3: I yeah, I can't do it, man, Especially on it
- 51:26Speaker 3: feels like when d Mitch is like, if there's a spot,
- 51:29Speaker 3: it's gonna you know what I mean, Like we talk
- 51:31Speaker 3: about Harden knows if he's going back to Houston. I
- 51:34Speaker 3: would trust D Mitch to defer a little more like
- 51:36Speaker 3: these dudes are humans, they know how it is. So
- 51:39Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it feels like he needs like a
- 51:41Speaker 3: fifteen assist game and then his scoring is probably way down.
- 51:45Speaker 3: So but I always am d Mitch over Harden.
- 51:48Speaker 5: I'm I mean, I'm sure a lot of people have
- 51:50Speaker 5: killed the Jazz over the years, but I feel like
- 51:52Speaker 5: hard in a particular has done great against him, Like.
- 51:55Speaker 4: The last couple of seasons.
- 51:57Speaker 3: It's so hard though for his like his have changed
- 52:00Speaker 3: almost every single season, and sometimes like during what part
- 52:04Speaker 3: of the season is a different Harden and stuff, whether
- 52:07Speaker 3: like I feel like when he started with m Beat
- 52:09Speaker 3: he took a little like a little more of a
- 52:11Speaker 3: back seat, but there were sometimes where it needed to
- 52:12Speaker 3: be Iso Harden. So I I don't know, it just
- 52:14Speaker 3: feels like one of those spots.
- 52:16Speaker 2: He's at this point in his career.
- 52:17Speaker 3: He's totally fine picking and choosing his spots, and this
- 52:20Speaker 3: this feels like a Donovan Mitchell spot.
- 52:22Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree there, and then I would definitely be
- 52:28Speaker 5: keeping in uh Schroeder and I think Thomas Bryant and
- 52:32Speaker 5: then Tomlin are all guys that should probably be in
- 52:35Speaker 5: the playpool tonight if they get more run because of blowout,
- 52:38Speaker 5: then definitely could see them hitting in a big way.
- 52:40Speaker 5: Thomas Bryan particular, he's done pretty well in some blowout
- 52:43Speaker 5: games on the Utah side. Tough to pin down because
- 52:46Speaker 5: you don't really know if they're gonna have success or not.
- 52:48Speaker 5: But I think in these games where big blowout concerns,
- 52:51Speaker 5: like a game like Denver, they'll be playing their normal
- 52:54Speaker 5: like they're good guys, normal minutes. I think that as
- 52:57Speaker 5: Philipowski and sense of all, you're getting them a basically
- 52:59Speaker 5: no owner and we've seen all these guys have tournament
- 53:02Speaker 5: winning ceilings at times this season. I think Ace is interesting.
- 53:06Speaker 5: I want to continue to play him because they are
- 53:09Speaker 5: really focusing in on him as the number one offensive
- 53:13Speaker 5: weapon for Utah, and I just don't really think Cleveland's
- 53:16Speaker 5: that great defensively, especially with Jared Allen out. He's not
- 53:19Speaker 5: gonna have Evan Mobley on him, so it'll be like
- 53:22Speaker 5: who they're gonna be starting.
- 53:24Speaker 4: Yeah, like Ellis on him.
- 53:26Speaker 5: Probably, he just has a size advantage there and he's
- 53:30Speaker 5: just playing great right now. So I'm interested in Ace
- 53:34Speaker 5: for sure, and the same thing for Philipowski's he kind
- 53:37Speaker 5: of gets used on ball a little bit. More when
- 53:39Speaker 5: they have this type of roster in that sense of
- 53:42Speaker 5: Bob the guy that just has really good scoring upside.
- 53:44Speaker 5: But these guys are not cheap and they'll be really loan.
- 53:47Speaker 5: So I'm in on those three in particular. I think
- 53:49Speaker 5: that the guys like Chandler and Cody Williams Harkless, I
- 53:52Speaker 5: don't think anybody else is really in play for Utah.
- 53:54Speaker 5: Maybe conchar a four point nine cage because he can
- 53:58Speaker 5: fill up the stat sheet, but it's really just Ace
- 54:01Speaker 5: and Philip Houskins.
- 54:02Speaker 4: Sensible for me, I.
- 54:04Speaker 3: Know you're more likely to play Mobile or Donnan Mitchell
- 54:06Speaker 3: when playing one of them.
- 54:07Speaker 2: That feels like, yeah, it makes sense.
- 54:10Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so, yeah, that makes sense.
- 54:13Speaker 3: Good breakdown. I mean fan So again, Fandal does have
- 54:16Speaker 3: two more games. We're not gonnassess. We always talk about
