• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Schedule kind of levels out a bit. We have.

  Speaker 3: without NBA personally, but obviously with the holidays and stuff
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: at this time of year, it's to have to fit
• 1:48

  Speaker 2: We're gonna jump right into these games. Rio. We're gonna
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: use the Stone, a proprietary information that we have over here.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: First game up, talk a little bit about the entry news.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I know there's no for the Hornets drawing a blank.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: He's from here too, can't think of his name. Who
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: is it? Yeah, there you go, Brandon Miller from Nashville anyway, anyway,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: who got the Rockets played last night? Headed into Charlotte Man, Charlotte,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: they are just such a bad basketball team. LaMelo, I
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: sent Hebrew a note in the chat of the night.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Shot nine threes in the first half, I think in
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: our first quarter end up shooting like eighteen. For the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: game was like three of eighteen. Man, He's just chuck
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and how can that be fun? But anyway, Rockets, Rockets
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: at Charlotte tonight. Talk to me a little bit about
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: this one.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Apparently LaMelo is the guy everybody talks about when
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: they say the NBA is unwatchable and the ratings are
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: coming down. But I kind of disagree with that. Yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: as far as this game though, not a ton of
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: injury news on the Rockets side, outside of Tarry Euston
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: dealing with the leg injury that's kind of been nagging
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: him for the past couple of years.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But other than that, pretty straightforward. The Charlotte stuff.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Obviously going to be without Brandon Miller, but for the
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: most part, I mean, outside all the guys they've already
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: lost for the season, Graham Williams, et cetera. But they'll
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: begin Mark Williams back tonight and LaMelo back as they
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: were just managed on that back to back the other night,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: so a couple of days off for them. Yeah, this
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: game should play out pretty slow pace. Both these teams
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: kind of towards the bottom of the league in pace.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Rockets are kind of middle of the pack slightly above average,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: but Hornets are towards the bottom of the league, which
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: is kind of interesting with a LaMelo led offense. Rocket's
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: still one of the best defensive teams of the league,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: ranking second overall and defensive rating the season. So should
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: be a pretty big missmatch I think for Charlotte as
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: a whole, but I do have interest in in LaMelo.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: At nine point eight k I was a little concerned
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: that the minutes might not be there for him, but
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: with the game that he missed, it was just an
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: injury management thing, so it wasn't like a re injury
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: of the of the The risk I believe is what
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: he got held out with.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So it should be pretty full go. And we know
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: that the.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Use is just just insanely high for a guy like
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: LaMelo when no Brandon Miller on the core with him.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Even with Brandon Miller still gonna have an insanely high
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: usage rate. Matchup is really tough. Houston has some of
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: the best on ball defenders that you can get guys
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: like Dylan Brooks, I'm and Thompson. They'll throw at him,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: but I mean, he's just gonna have He's gonna take
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: a ton of shots. If he took nine shots in
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: that first quarter, ended with like eighteen on the game,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: did not shoot well, but still got up there to
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: nearly seventy DK points. I mean that could have easily
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: been a ninety plus DK point game if he, you know,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: shot right around his season average for three pointers. So
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I still think the matchup sucks, but usage is gonna
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: be huge for him. He's really the only guy I
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: want to get to on the Charlotte side. On the inside,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I do have interest in pretty much everybody from Dylan
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Brooks up.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: It is back to.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Back, so maybe some of the older guys get managed.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe fredvan Fleet comes down a little bit. Singoon kind
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: of been a guy they've managed on back to backs
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: a little bit. But a really good matchup for all
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: these guys, Singoon especially. We've kind of looked to attack
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: the Hornets with opposing centers all season long. They're running
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: the offense through him. Imo Dooka said that they kind
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: of want to get some more shooters out there around Singoon,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: so that can you know, result in some more potentials
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: for assists. So I like Singoon a lot. I think
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: it's really really high upside in this matchup. Not really
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: going to get there on Fred van Fleet just shooting
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: terribly right now, back to back, probably minutes to come
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: down a little bit, and he's just shooting absolutely terribly
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: the last six games. I'd rather get to Jalen Green
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: if I'm looking at one of these guards at six
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: point four k taking twenty plus shots or at least
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: twenty shots in back to back games, ten threes two
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: games ago, shooting pretty well right now as well, and
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: he's a, you know, for a guard, really solid rebounder,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: so get pretty pretty solid floor ceiling combo. I like
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: the spot a lot here for Amen Thompson against a
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: turnover pro team like the Hornets. I believe they're bottom
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: three in turnover percentage, meaning that they have they commit
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: the third most turnovers per game. Kind of where you
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: want to fire up a guy like Khamen and a
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Tarios and they get their their ceiling in games where
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: they can get high steel, high steel games and then
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of easy buckets to transition. He hasn't played
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: a lot lately, but with it being a back to back,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: maybe they give him some more minutes. In favor of
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Fred van Fleet, I just think that his ceiling is
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: really good for this type of matchup at five point
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: a k, and he should be under owned. Kind of
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: a guy that the Ship of Nation has always been
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: looking to play as just a all around really good
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: basketball player. I don't really want to get there. Jabar
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Smith just don't see too much upside there. And same
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: thing for Dylan Brooks. He's shot the ball really well
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: as of late, but generally a really low usage guy.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Just I just don't think I can rely on Brooks
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: to get forty plus DK points on a nightly basis.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, back to back forty four. Dylan, he was back
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: home in his home country at Canada. Don't know where
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: he's from. Maybe he's up there where Tambo's from. But
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: he was balling last night in Toronto. Fred Van cheeks
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: one for Tim Man. He was brutal last night. Metro
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Boom says, give me sin Goon for sixty. He thinks
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: sim Goon's gonna be balling tonight. Jake is all over
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: some uh some Dylan Brooks again the night. Excellent breakdown there.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: We're gonna move on to the next one. Injury news
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: in this one as well. I think John Collins and
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: your boy Kiante George or I think they're doubtful for
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: this Correct me if I'm wrong in that. But the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Jazz two touchdown underdogs heading into Cleveland take on this
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Calves team. They just don't seem to lose that off.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: And talk to me a little bit about this game
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: we have. We have Keyante and John Collins in the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Salver are in the in the in the Stone for
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that matter, those will come out, But talk to me
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: about this game Jazz at the Calves.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're correct, both those guys are doubtful. Definitely, I
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: mean Antony's dulpfel. You can just assume they're gonna be out.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: But even more so, like they called up these G
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: League guys, so really good chance that I mean, they're
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: pretty much hun to percent chances they're missing. So I
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: would would expect that Cleveland very healthy right now, getting
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Max Truce back as well. Do have Bean Waveless and
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: questionable Sam Meryl. This question just kind of back at
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: the end rotation guys, so nothing to game changing. Yeah,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I just see this game being a really big mismatch
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: for the Jazz. Their defense is awful, as we know
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: they've been, you know, their dead last defensive ready right now,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: allowing a ton of transition points and three pointers per game.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Two posing teams. Cleveland a top ten defense, one of
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: the best just all round teams, but a top offense
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: as well. I'll break down the Utah side really quick.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: So I think that there are a couple interesting pieces
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: as far as the starters go, there's a couple of
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: ways that they could play it. I do see a
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: projected starter on Basketball Monster with both Sexton and Clarkston
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: and sphe McKay look in there. I don't think they're
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: going to go there with you know, just all the
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: size that the Cleveland front court has. I think that
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be Philip Kows in there, maybe Michael Potter,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: but phil Kowski probably the most likely guy to start.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Definitely gonna see sex and running the point again. He's
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: been playing pretty well as the last two games, running
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: the point pretty well. Clarkson should remain off the bench,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to be a max two of Sexton,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Clarkson and Swee. I think you could even be max
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: one on this big of a slate. I don't love
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: any of them in particular, just because I think that
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: they're gonna get blown out in a big way here,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: So I don't I'm not expecting like thirty six from
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: any of these guys, maybe like thirty two on the
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: high end. For Sexton, Spee is playable just because he's
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: three point three k, really good shooter. I mean he
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: chucks when he's out there too, like anytime he touches
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: the ball, it's going up. So I don't think that
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: he's a terrible value. Probably don't need to go there
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: with all the value on the slate already. But phil Kowski,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: like I said, should be in the starting unit. I
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: think that he's a pretty decent value option at three K.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Looks like he's a pretty solid point per minuted producer
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: in his rookie season. But if you want to get
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: off of him, a guy that is kind of sneaky,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: definitely like a one fifty large field type of play
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: only would be Michael Potter. Don't think that he's gonna
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: get a ton of minutes, but outside chance that he starts,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: and then you know, definitely gonna be out there and blowout,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: but outside that, I'm not gonna get to like Laurie
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: at you know, high ownership. I think if you're playing Laurie,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you probably want to play it as if the game's
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: going to stay close. I would want one of those
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: top four guys from Jared Allen up to Donovan Mitchell
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: in my lineups with Lourie because I just don't think
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: that he's going to get there in a blowout. Script
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: all the Cleveland side of things, I like the spot
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: for the guards a lot here donovd Mitchell and Daris Garland.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: I do prefer Garland just because he's thirteen hundred cheaper.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Matchup is really good for both of them in terms
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: of like DVP rankings, Jazz or bottom two in both
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: DVP two point guards and shooting guards a little bit
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: of a positive coach speak for Daris Garland, though Kenny
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: Atkinson has said they want him to take more shots.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: They've kind of been begging him to take more shots
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: all season long. They want to be more aggressive as
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: a score. We already know he's a really good passer,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: but yeah, this could be a spot where they just
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: kind of let him go Obviously it's a you know,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: revenge game if you want to go there for Donovan Mitchell,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: but and Collin Sext and LORI marketing for that case.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I like the I like the guards here
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: a little bit more, and then the the bigs I'm
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: okay with. Don't love either of them. Jazz are really
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: high turnover pro team, so you could get to them
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: and hope for like a high steals and blocks game.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I definitely prefer Jared Allen at six point two K,
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: but center usually is a position you want to get
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of stealing from, and there
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: are some decent options. I probably won't get to either
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: of them, but I do like the guards for Cleveland.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we got We also have a Colin Sexton
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: revenge game as well. Talked about despite a revenge game,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: any any Tide Jerome Love. I didn't hear you mentioned
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Tied Jerome, but go collect wants to know any Tie
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Jerome Love for some blowout run.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you can't.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: It's hard to hard to get there for like single entry,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: you have to do a lot to the projections to
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: get any of him. Not really my type of play,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: but I understand if you wanted to go there.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And ant Man knows it's the Cheetah It's
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the Cheetah flu game. We know about Jordan's flu game.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Now we got the Cheeta flu game. Always gonna do
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: is gonna go double ship for tonight, NFL and NBA
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: on that rear end. Excellent breakdown there. Moving on to
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: the next world, rocking and rolling Celtics at the Magic.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Jason Tatum, He's gonna dribble at seventeen times before he
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: shoots it tonight taking on these Magic You got no
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Wagner's tonight, you got no ban Caro's. It could get
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: ugly down and what do they call that Magic City
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: or whatever it's called.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I know it's Orlando.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: But Celtics at the Magic ten point dogs not a
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: very high total right around two fourteen.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much a game I'm almost exing out entirely,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: unless Suggs miss than I think he gets like Cole Anthony. Yeah,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: two really good defensive teams here. Orlando is just kind
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: of like the fying all odds. I mean, they just
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: they lose everybody meaningful to their rotation, still find ways
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: to play really good defense and and win games. I mean,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: I think that mostly should probably be the front runner
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: for Coach of the Year in my eyes. I mean,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: this team is very, very disciplined, very well coached team.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: But yeah, in terms of DFS, I don't think that
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I want to get to these Boston guys. Just Orlando
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: does a really good job taking away three pointers, easy
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: three pointers and take away catch and shoots up. Obviously, Boston,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: you know, the highest volume three point shooting team in
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: the league. They're still going to get them up. But
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I just don't think that this is a game where I,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: uh slate where I need to get to any of
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: these Boston pieces. You can always make a case for Tatum,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: you know, the MVP candidate possible. This would be a
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: big win for them, I think, and if Tatum has
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: a big game, you know, just a little a little
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: more Jews for his MVP run. But yeah, I'm not
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: looking to go there. On the the Orlando side, I
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: think there are some interesting pieces. If sucks miss Like
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I said, you could probably get to call anth because
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: the heat a ton in blow out as well. But
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised to see a change in the
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: starting lineup tonight. Been hearing some rumblings about Anthony Black
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: starting over Wendow Carter Junior Wendell It's just kind of,
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, from a matchup perspective, just doesn't really fit
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: in in this game. So I think that Carter or
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Anthony Black is going to get more minutes over Wendell.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Carter anyways, probably not a guy you're looking to play
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: tonight because he's a low usage guy. Not really that
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: cheap either, but something to keep an eye on moving forward.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Goga I do have some interesting just because he's he
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: has a really big increased usage rate with all these
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: injuries piling up for Orlando, no no of the Wagner brothers,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: and then no Pollo and possibly no Sugs. I mean,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: he would have he'd have the ball in his hands
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: a lot. They kind of they run a lot of
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: those dribble handoff stuff. But he does have a high
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: floor with the rebounding rates. Should definitely get a double
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: double on nightly basis, So I don't mind getting to
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Goga here. Should be pretty low owned. I definitely I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: probably prefer him over Jared Allen in the previous game.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: But yeah, not a game looking to get more than
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: like one piece of and entirely.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I just don't I don't see this game popping off
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: in a big way.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: You may not know, And I was trying to look,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: who's gonna get Moe Wagner's you know, twenty ish minutes.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: You know that he went out the other night. Who's
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: going to get those? Is Goga gonna get those? Carter
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: or somebody? Somebody diss different? Maybe Da Silva.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, they have a pretty deep bench, so it's
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: like they can run out guys like Jeded Howard. They
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: dusted off Corey Joseph last game, like Jonathan Isaac Is
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: is probably not going to get those, but maybe a
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: little bit more for Tristan Da Silva. I think Anthony
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Black is probably the guy that would benefit the most.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they have a pretty deep bench.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: So get my boy Matt McClung in there. See he's
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: out tonight. That's gonna really hurt their offense. But hey,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: if he was in there, he'd be rocking and rolling
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: and dunking all over him. Moving on to the next game,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: we're three in, got eight more to go. Make sure
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: you're hitting that like, make sure you're hitting that subscribe button.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: We got the spurs before the Smiths Day game in
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the Garden, headed up to Philly to take on the
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Joel Embiid and the seventy six er to have Himbiid
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: in tonight. Correct me if I'm wrong on that, But
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: we have Spurs and Wimby. I'm surprised they're not sitting
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Wimby because if he's going to turn around and play
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: all Christmas morning, But talk to me a little bit
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: about this game should be interesting. Spurs at the seventy
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: six ers seventy six ers five and a half point favorites.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Wemby's he's pretty durable for his size, But yeah,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: I think that they're gonna I mean, we probably don't
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: see the high end minutes for him tonight in this game,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: but this this should be a really fun game to watch.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Definitely one I'm going to be tuning into, even if
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I don't have any investment in it from a DFS perspective,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: because the last time these teams faced off, Joel Embiid
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: arguably had his best game of his career. We went
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: for seventy real life points over one hundred DK points
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: and Wemby fared pretty well, and that one had thirty
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: to thirty three points in that one that they were,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you know, very cautious with his minutes at that point
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: of the season. That was mid January that they faced off,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: but he only saw twenty eight minutes in that game.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Been pretty consistently like the low thirties. But yeah, from
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: like a game environment perspective, not the best. Neither of
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: these teams play super fast. They do have some wingnesses
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: in their defense, but I mean the Spurs have really
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: really kind of bought in defensively. Their rim defense has
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: gotten much better in comparison to last year's from defense.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: So this is not the same matchup for Embiid that
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: we saw last year because this was the Spurs where
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: a team we're like looking to attack pretty much on
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: a nightly basis with how bad their defense was. But
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, Jeremy Sochan has gotten a lot better. Winby's
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: gone a lot better. Adding Chris Paul into the mix
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: definitely helps things, like Harrison Boren has held up nicely.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: The Sixers, on the other hand, their rim defense has
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: been pretty bad this season. I expected to get better
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: with Embiid getting healthier moving forward, but their transition defense
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: has not been great either. It doesn't really matter too
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: much because the Spurs don't really play with fast pace.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: With Chris Paul out there, they definitely like to get
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: their half court offense set.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Up a bit more.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Spur side things really have interest in three guys, and
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: that would be Wemby, Socian and Vasel Here. Wenby I
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: think is a pretty strong option. He's going to get
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: no ownership. We should have enough value to get to him.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Not too worried about the matchup. He does have a
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: wide range of outcomes because we know Embiide is a
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: foul merchant, so he's going to be looking to, you know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: put his head down and run into Wenby's chest and
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: pick up some fowls, which is what he's really good at.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: But he Wenby has done a very good job of
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: limiting foul calls against him.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: He kind of just you know, he.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Doesn't have to jump, so he just puts his arms
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: straight up and can kind of prevent those easy fouls.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: So I think that he can if he gets like
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: his thirty to thirty two minutes there right here, then
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: I think it's a good spot for him in eleven K.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Nobody's gonna play him. Socian I think is good because
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: of the transition defense for the Sixers being so weak,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: that's kind of where he gets a lot of his
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: easy buckets out in transition. Yes, I don't mind him here,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: and he's probably gona play a ton of mints. They'll
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: need his on ball defense on Maxi and Paul George
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: and possibly even throwing him on Mbat at times to
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: kind of limit the fouls or for wemby side. I
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: think that he's pretty solid, does a good job filling
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: up the statute as well with the rebounding and assist
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: numbers and the steels and blocks, so he's got I
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: think he's got plenty of upside At six point four k,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Devin Vessel very score independent, but it's not the worst tag.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: At five point four K, he's shown that he could
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: have you know, thirty, upper thirties upside at times. He's
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: done it multiple times this month, and now that he's
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: starting those minutes are a lot more secure, So I
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: like him as a value play. The six Er side
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: of things is really just in beater bus. He's still
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: just too cheap and nine point six k pretty I mean,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: he's pretty much fully healthy dealing with the sinus injury.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Both me and hib dealing with the sinus injuries right now.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: But yeah, he should be good to go. And yeah,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: they're going to continue to run the offense through in
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: the usage. Everything looks good for him. Yeah, I don't
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: think can say. I think the NB is just way
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: too cheap. Nine point six k is a good price,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Like he should be like ten point five k pretty
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: soon here.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah he should.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: But we got the two French schinners going at it.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Can't wait for that twenty eight Olympic team with Embiid
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: and Wimby. They're gonna be dynamite duo. And hopefully and
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: B goes back over there and plays with those guys.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: They'd be trouble over there. And yeah, hey, Joel, if
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: you're listening, which I know you probably are before the game,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: my boy, Hebrew cheet is in here with a sinus infection.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Let's go. You got a man up, It's time to go.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: It's time to play. Wimby moving on to the next game.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: You want to talk about a train wreck. We have
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: a train wreck on our hands aka the Minnesota Timberwolves,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: not the Minnesota t Wolves taking on the Hawks. It's
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: gonna be cold there. Trey Young's gonna be ice. So hey,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: talk to me a little bit about this game Timberwolves
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: at Atlanta.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the timber Wolves are aren't the timber Wolves right now,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: They're the t Pups. They just haven't earned the Wolves
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: name yet. Yeah, you said those. This team is struggling
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: right now. I don't want to say the reason why,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: but I feel like people probably know.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Does it start with a J and then with an E?
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: It might? It might.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Hopefully Wardo is not listening. Gotta put on the ear muffs.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: But yeah, their offense just looks bad right now. Their
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: defense is still really good, Like their rim defense has
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: been great this season. Rudy Gobert down low, and they
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: still have Jade McDaniels. Anthony Edwards is a really good defender,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: so their defense is great, Like they should win this
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: game with a banged up Tray Young. But the Hawks
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: aren't terrible defensively either. They've been kind of hovering around
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: top ten defensive rated team this the whole season, and
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: you know, the last month they've been they've been very
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: good as well. They are allowing a lot of three
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: pointers right now, and they do allow Dyson Daniels to
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: just kind of like stay out on an island by himself,
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: which is why their pick and roll defense looks worse
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: than it actually is.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: So I do think that there are.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Some some pieces you can get to a Minnesota here.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: I think that the price side for Anthon Edwards a
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: DWO point seveny k is about as low as we
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: might get for the rest of the season. If he
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: doesn't have a good game here, or if he does
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: have a good game here, the price will rise. But
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: if he doesn't, he'll probably fall a pint five, okay,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: something like that. But this is a really good.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Spot for him.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I know that Dyson Niels is a really good defender,
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: but like I mentioned, they're okay, Alania is just leaving
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: him out there by himself. And yeah, just with Edwards
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: kind of, you know, being outspoken about their offense, I
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: think that I don't know, there's a couple of ways
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: they could do it, because he kind of said that
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: their offense is predictable because they know that it's gonna
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: be him and Randall shooting the ball. Maybe he defers
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: a little bit more and gets these secondary guys involved.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I just really think this is a good
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: price sec for him in a good spot even in
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: a tough matchup versus Dyson Daniels eleven game slate. I'm
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: not looking to get to Julius Randall already Gobert for upside.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I think we need just pure ceiling, and I don't
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: think either of those guys really provide that at these
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: price tags. Same thing for Mike Conley. Jay McDaniels, he
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: can get to just because the Hawks can be turnover
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: prona at times. He's shooting the ball a lot better
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: as of late as well and rebounding the ball a
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: lot playing a time of minute, I think you can
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: get to Jay McDaniel's. He's a pretty solid value. And
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: then I really like Nasred here at four point four K.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: There's a little little bit of a chatter about nas
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Reed possibly getting in the starting lineup soon. I've seen
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: some b riders and you know, people in the timber
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Wolves Twitter sphere saying that they need to trade Randall
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: and just let nas be in the starting lineup, which
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: I kind of agree with.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: But I think that either way.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: He's kind of vying for more playing time. Right now,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: he's easily their second best offensive players, so I think
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: that he could get up to thirty thirty minutes here
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: in a matchup where his offense could really be used
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: for against a week three point defense. I like nas
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: reed here a good bit and save for Dante, Dante
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: shooting the ball a lot better as of late, so
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: he should be in your playpool as well. The Atlanta side,
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to get to anything tonight, really tough
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: matchup unless we get news that Tree Young and Boggdan
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: are out. Even then, though, I mean, nine K for
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Jalen Johnson in a really tough matchup is a little
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: bit too pricey for me. I think maybe you could
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: get to Dyson Daniels just because he's gonna be run
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: the point, you know, a little bit more upside with
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: the assist potential, But like Vig Crazy just doesn't do enough.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Keith Wallace is terrible.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Maybe Larry Nance because he can kind of run that
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: point forward a little bit and he's playing a lot better.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: And Rechachet, I guess because he's really cheap. But if
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Trey and bogged on her, ind I'm just kinda gonna
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: ex out this Atlanta team.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, excellent breakdown there. Yeah, I feel like, uh, I
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: feel like the ant man just hasn't had the kind
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: of season that we're accustomed to personally, and that's why
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: his price dictates that Anthony ant Man, the other ant Man,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Anthony Massey, go ahead and hit hit hit playback speed
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: go to two point oh, because you're like two games
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: beond But but yeah, I appreciate everybody tuning in. Make
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: sure you're hitting that like, make sure you're hitting that
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: subscribe button. Uh going going to the next game. I'm
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: not even gonna talk about one team. We got the
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Heat playing against the team the night that you should
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: not roster anybody. I know Hebrew is gonna say you
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: need to play somebody over here because they're also cheap.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: We got the Nets going into Miami to take on
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: this Heat team. Should be not a very entertaining game
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: in my opinion. But any DFS nuggets that you could
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: pull out of this one rio.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not really pretty gross all around game. Both these
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: seems really slow paced, and I mean the Heat are
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: kind of struggling defensely honestly obviously had that huge breakdown
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: against Orlando, but I think they should handle the Nets
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: here pretty easily. I think Jimmy Butler is probably going
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: to return tonight, which really takes me off of everybody
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: on the Heat, I think that the matchup is good
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: for all three of Bam, Butler and Hero for different reasons.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: But big slate, we need high ceiling from all of
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: our plays. I guess Hero would be the guy that
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: I would want because he's the cheapest and really has
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: shown the highest ceiling outside of the one game against
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: the Pistons for Jimmy Butler, but returning from an injury,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think, or returning from the illness. I don't
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: know how sick Jimmy is, so maybe he doesn't play
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: four minutes. But yeah, not as what I'm looking to
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: get to. On the Miami Heat side, only two guys
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: in play for me all the nets. It's Cam Johnson
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: and Ben Simmons. Cam Johnson pretty much is the entire
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: offense right now. It's pretty decent matchup versus three point
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: final defense in the Heat.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Very expensive now.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's on the trade market too, so there's
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: no reason to really play him like thirty six plus minutes.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: But I think Ben Simmons is still in play at
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: five point nine K. Obviously he doesn't do enough on
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: offense to really hit in a massive way. You're kind
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: of just hoping for like the double double, triple double bonus,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: things like that. But their coach pretty much said that
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: he's gonna play a lot of minutes right now. So
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I think thirty two minutes from Ben Simmons at five
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: point nine k is is definitely very viable. We saw
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: him put up forty against the Jazz, much softer matchup.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think that Ben Simmons is a terrible play
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: probably won't get to anywhere else on the Nets side.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: They just I mean, this is such a low team total.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I just don't.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: I don't see much upside from this game.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, excellent breakdown on that one. We got my guy
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: new Ones in here, We got King Trades in here,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: our guy Naid's just jumped in here. Hey, the Packers
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: must be playing, and they got all these Wisconsin nights
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: in here chirping in they're listening to the shows. I'm
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: gonna watch some Jordan Love, want to get some NBA action.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: We appreciate everyone tuning in here tonight. Next game. I'm
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: interested in this game. Interested here your breakdown. RJ. Barrett
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: didn't play last night? Hey, why didn't he play last night?
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Is it because he wanted to be fully healthy for
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: this next game. But I'm excited about this one. No
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: yac up total, but the Raptors going into the Knicks,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to be closer than this personally
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: fourteen points. But interested here to your take if you
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: feel the same way. But talk to me a little
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: bit about this game. Raptors at the Knicks.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm actually kind of surprised to see the spread
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: as big as it as it is. But I mean,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: this Raptor seam is just kind of limited on the
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: talent outside of Scottie Barnes and Argie Barrett. Really, I guess,
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: you know, Graddy Dick is pretty solid. But yeah, I
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: could see this game kind of getting out of hand
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: pretty quickly. The Knicks are just they're playing good right now.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Their defense has been up and down all season long.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: They do have some areas of weakness with their three
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: point defense and their pick and roll defense. Is it's
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: really bad or now it's just mainly because they're playing
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: a lot of drop coverage, Letting count Letting Towns kind
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: of just fall back and protect the rim. But yeah,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: this should be a pretty big mismatch. I think for
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: the Knicks here, the raptor is still along a ton
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: of points at the rim no pertal, which makes it
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: a little bit easier down low. Their three point defense
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: has not been good. The rebounding is not good, but
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: it is kind of interesting, interesting from a DFST perspective
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: because we have seen teams kind of hang some pretty big,
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: big scores against the Knicks. I think the one two
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: guys I would really get to here are Barnes and
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: bear It. But even so, like they're they're not cheap like.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: I think Barnes is interesting because the pick and roll
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: defense for the Knicks is so bad, and he was
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: the guy that we were jamming in at you know
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: this nine K range. Yeah, I mean he's getting closer
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: to full two after the his ankle against the same
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: nixt team two weeks ago, but played thirty six and
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: thirty nine minutes in his last two games. Didn't really
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: do much, but the minutes are really good. In the
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: usage and touch time, all that stuff is very strong
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: for him. So I think that he's still a fine
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: play at nine point one k with the point guard
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: small forward eligibility, which is nice. Same thing for RJ.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: Barrett a little bit less interested in him just coming
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: off the illness tag, but you could be right. It
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: could just be you wanted to be fully healthy for
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: this game against former team going back to the Garden.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: So those are only two guys are really keeping my
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: pool and not super intrigued by either one. I will
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: say if Barrett does miss a guy to keeping an
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: eye on Jamal shed He played twenty was it like
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: nearly a thirty three minutes off the bench last game?
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: As they needed some more secondary ball handling, he might
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: have just leave rog Davion Mitchell in the second unit
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: as the backup ball handler. So somebody keeping high on
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: moving forward on the knick side have a ton of
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: interesting cat tonight, a spot we look to attack all
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: season long against the Toronto team. They are towards the
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: bottom of the league and DVP versus centers. Last time
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: they faced off a little bit different matchup because it
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: was against Perto, But he went for sixty DK points
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: twenty four to fifteen and six coming off a game
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: where he got in fact trouble pretty early, so he
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: should be pretty well rested. But yeah, I think Kat's
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: got a ton of upside here. A really strong center
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: position but he should go, should be pretty low owned.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I have a ton of interest in Cats tonight. Brunson,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: you can always play him a point three K. I
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: just don't know if he has the true ceiling that
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: we need on this type of slate. Showed in a
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: couple times as of late, but the Raptors have generally
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: been pretty good against point guards this season. Mainly it's
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: because of Davion Mitchell being out there. He's a really
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: solid defender. But they still up some decent on ball
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: defenders like Barrett and Gritty Dick, so probably won't get
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: too much Brunton here. I'll be maxiwan Heart, Bridges and Og.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: I think that all of them are in play. Probably
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: prefer Bridges the most at six point two K. Really
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: good matchup for three point shooters. He shooting the ball
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: well this month. I mean, the minutes are insane for him,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: so probably prefer him.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: But I like Og.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Like him and Og are one A, one B and
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: terms of the secondary pieces, and then Heart a little
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: bit further behind at seven K. But I really really
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: like Kat in this one, and not a ton of
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: interests on the Toronto side.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't hear you mentioned Jakobe Walter. He played a
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: bunch the last couple of games. Was that because of
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Barrett's absence? I know Shed didn't play lastnight, either, But
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: any any interest in him at forty three hundred or
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: not really because those guys should be back tonight. Who
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: is it Walter for the Raptors?
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you need Barrett to be out for
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: me to get to him. Yeah, I just don't. I
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: don't think that there's really a ton of minutes upside
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: for him. He shooting the ball really well right now.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: He's probably their best shooter. But yeah, I think I
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: would need Barrett to be out to get.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: To him a great deal. Talking about being out that
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: takes us to our next game. Well, I'll let you
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: talk about who all is out for Milwaukee. But we
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: have the Bucks still with almost one hundred and thirteen
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: point in plaid total on tonight's for tonight's game, taking
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: on the Bulls, right, anytime you played, the Bulls are
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: gonna be up and down. They don't play much defense,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: but Bucks monus are big guns. Taking on the Bulls
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: to look to be pretty healthy for the most part.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: But talk to me a little bit about this game.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Bucks at the Bulls. I think it's the highest total
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: on the slate, or maybe the second highest. But talk
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: to me a little bit about this one.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a game you're definitely gonna want to have pieces from.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: On the Milwaukee side, I think that Bobby Portis is
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would say, like nearly a lock. I'm
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: considering just playing him in a whole hundred fifty line
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: up tonight. I just don't see a situation where he
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: is starting and fails.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: We did.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: There was that one random game earlier this season where
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: he didn't start for Giannis and it didn't really play
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: a ten minutes and kind of failed in a pretty
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: big way. But every game that he started the season,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: he's just been great. And you could even date back
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: to the last season. Anytime that janns missus, you just
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: you fire at Bobby Portis if he's starting. So yeah,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: I think he's the best play in the entire slate.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Not going to run that or get that past anybody.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be eighty plus percent owned, So it's a
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: little bit of a little bit of an edge just
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: locking him, but not really. And then yeah, Middleton played
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: a good played really well last game best he's looked
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: all season long. A little bit of coach speak about
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Doc saying he might be ready for some more minutes.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: That said, it was hard to limit him at twenty four,
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: probably because how well he's playing. But he's gonna, you know,
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: as we get further into the season, maybe we start
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: to get the twenty six twenty seven from him.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Just a really solid permanent.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Guy withis off the court, and add dam into that
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: next season, he should be a really solid play against
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: this weak defense.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Burke Lopez.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: I am more willing to get away from it if
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: he does get a lot of ownership just because it's
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: you just don't really see the same uptick and usage
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: and per minute stuff with with Giannis off the court,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: he's more just like a like a matchup dependent guy.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I guess this is a good match up Againt Chicago,
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: but really not, because he doesn't score around the basket.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: He's going to be hanging around three point line, just
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: launching threes the whole game, and he doesn't really do
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: enough enough from like a rebounding perspective to pay off
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: in a big way. He's cheap, so he can definitely
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: get there, but you're kind of relying on like a
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: high blocks game and then needs to be efficient shooting
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: the ball because he's not going to score around the room.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: So I'd be okay getting away from brook Lopez if
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: he is getting a lot of ownership. If he's not,
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: then that's a different story. I think that you just
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: kind of play into whatever side of the ownership he's getting.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: And then Ryan Rawins probably the best value on the
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: sleigh gonna get starting get the starting nod again here
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: at three point five K. I don't know if he's
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: gonna see thirty one minutes again. I was watching that
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: game where he started. I got him onto some of
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: my lineups and they had it looked like the plan
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: was to set him out at like the four minute
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: mark or DeLong right, but there was a really long whistle.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: We didn't get any any breaks in the action for
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: like the last four minutes of the game, so he
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: played the entire first quarter. Just suddenly, keep an eye
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: because I think that thirty one minutes might be a
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: little two high. It's probably closer for like twenty eight,
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: twenty six something that still should be really solid. Though
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: he's been he's definitely earned a bigger role in the
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: in the offense moving forward. I think and should have
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: a pretty big role here against a team that we
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: love to attack with guards. So I think that he's
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: a very strong play And then like the secondary pieces
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: AJ Green, Gary Trent Junior, probably not Tory Prince, I
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: wouldn't play, but I think that you could play both
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Aj Green and Gary Trent probably be Max one of
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: those two guys on the both side of the thing,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: both side of this game. A lot timeer to get
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: to because they do play a pretty deep rotation, but
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: as you said, they're getting healthier. It looks like Giddy
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: is gonna be back tonight. Lonzo Sho should be playing
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: tonight as well, So kind of toimeer to get to
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: the guys.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I would have.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: The most interesting would be Levigne in Kobe White, but
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Lavine at seven Part three K I mean, the price
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: needs to come down because he just hasn't really earned.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: This price tag all season long.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: He's had maybe you know, two or three games the
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: entire season where he's paid off in a big way,
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: but otherwise he's just in that like upper thirty to
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: low forty range and that's just not gonna do it
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: on this big of a slate, I would much rather
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: get to Kobe White at six point one K. It
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: looks like he's gonna be pretty low owned, and he's
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: the range rock comes is really wide for him. He's
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: not shooting the ball well right now. Billy Donovan kind
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: of pointed that out, that he's in a pretty big slump.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: But he put up sixty DK points against Milwaukee earlier
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: this season, a lot of different scenario because they weren't
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: starting Audrey Jackson. Their on ball defense has gone a
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: lot better, but this is still a Milwaukee defense that
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: is a really big three point final. So I think
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: that Kobe White could have a pretty decent game tonight,
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: And this is definitely the best game environment of slate.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Pretty solid team total for Chicago, close spread, So maybe
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: we get overtime and and Kobe White breaks out of
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: the slump. He'd probably preferred option. I don't think I'm
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: gonna get to Vuchavich at eight point three K or
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: really anybody else. So yeah, I think that going Portis,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Middleton Rawlins and Kobe White is a pretty decent start
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: tier line up. Maybe just Portis and Rawlins and then
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Kobe White should be pretty low owned pairing, So I like.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: That excellent right down there on both Bobby Porta is
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: going to be very popular. As you alluded to, Robert
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: wants to know. Is that more stars and scrubs or
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: balance build tonight in your opinion.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: I haven't really built yet. But Jordan says more balanced,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: so I'll I trust Jordan.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, moving on to the next game. We've got
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: three games left, and make sure you hitting that like,
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: make sure you're hitting that Subscribe button helps us out
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: a ton over here. We got the Clippers headed in
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies. I saw where
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Desmond Bain missed shoot around this morning due to an illness,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: so I want to check on that. But Grizzlies obviously
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: playing good basketball. Clippers not too terrible, but any love
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: for this Clippers at Memphis game got a two and
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: twenty nine point total. Talk to me a little bit
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: about this one.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty big injury news on both sides. Zubac with
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: the calf injury. I guess he's kind of had this
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: calf injury digging back to the past couple of years
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: in his career, so.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's a chance to hold him out.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know if how much the spread would move,
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: like if he were to be in or out, but yeah,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: I mean there's a chance that he sits tonight, so
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: I think that there could be a little bit of
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: leverage on the sleigh waiting for a Mobamba start, which
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, we love the DFS community loves to play
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: mobomb But whenever he gets the minutes, I think that
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: you get twenty five from mot and if he's low on, he.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Would pay off in a huge way.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: Would also add some some more rebounding upside for a
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: guy like James Harden and some of these secondary pieces
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: like Norm Powell and Chris Dunn. But on the Grizzly
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: side of things, they are dealing with injuries, which has
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: kind of always been the theme for the Memphis Grizzlies
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: for the past couple of years. Jaw's gonna be returning,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Jeron Jackson should be good to go, but Desmond Bine,
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: like you said, the illness tag did misshoot around, so
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of expecting him to miss here. They already
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: are going to be without Marcus Smart all the guys
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: that are missing too, with like Vince Williams and then
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Jay Huff out as well, so you know, slightly tighter
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: rotation compared to what we're seeing earlier from the Grizzlies
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: where they're playing like twelve guys on a nightly basis.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Could be closer to ten here, but the Bain News definitely,
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: I mean it's kind of big because he's you know,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: he's a guy that is very involved in the offense,
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: so you're gonna have to replace that shooting with somebody.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: I think that Luke Kenard would probably be the guy
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: sliding into the starting life at three point five. K
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Jena Willis would probably take on a little bit of
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: a bigger role, but the guy's at top, like John
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Moran and Daring Jackson, just see a massive increase in
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: per minute fantasy for per minuted production. Jaws at one
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: point five four fantasy points per minute probably not going
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: to be playing a ton of minutes here, but we've
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: seen him get it done in a big way, like
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: big ways this season in thirty minutes, and I think
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: this is a game that they would definitely want to
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: get the Clippers, and he's a Western Conference opponent, so
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: maybe he gets to thirty one to thirty two minutes.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: I think that he could pay.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Off in a really big way if he's given that
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: green light to play thirty two minutes, which we've kind
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: of seen from him multiple time this month month, but
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: maybe a little bit conscious with the injury injury something
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: he's dealing with this season. Jared Jackson one point four
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: fantasy points per minute. He's never gonna play a ton
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: of minutes either, but he needs to stay out of
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: foul trouble as well, dealing with He always a guy
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: that gets in a foul trouble, just very aggressive going
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: for blocks and steals and things like that. But yeah,
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, he could pay off in a big way
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: too in thirty minutes. So I don't mind either of
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: those guys. But the guy that I like the most,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: I think is Zach Edy think that he's pretty great
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: game script proof here. If Zubak is in, they're gonna
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: need him for a size and defense against him, and
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: if Mobamba is starting, then that's just a much easier
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: matchup for him. So I think d is a very
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: very high upset option at the center option to four
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: point a K. Same with Santi al dom. I mean,
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: he just always gets there. It seems like he's just
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: a fancy point permitted stud It seems like and anytime
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: somebody misses, he always benefits in a big way. Something
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: that you could definitely keep in your playpool. Probably starting
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: to level a little bit at five point three K. Yeah,
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: definitely something to keep an eye on and build into
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: if you if you have a lean that Bain is
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: gonna sit, which I think he is. I think that
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: Canard would be a pretty sneaky value option, and then
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: the Clipper side, like I mentioned, Mobamba would probably get
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: the start if Zubak want to miss. But yeah, I
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: kind of glossed over Norm Powell. I think that he's
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: a really solid option. The Grizzlies defense is very solid
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: in the way they play defense. They run up a
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: lot of double teams and blitz is at lead guards,
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: which kind of makes me think that James Harden's scoring
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: upside may not be there tonight. But if Zubak misses,
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: very good chance that he could get a triple double
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: because he will have an increased rebounding rate. The systembers
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: are already really good for him, but the scoring will
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: be there. But I mean, the floor should still be
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: very strong for James Harden nine point two K, but that.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that gets me.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Also, the secondary guys a lot, Chris Downe and Norm
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Powell in particular, but Norm has just been shooting great
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: this season. The Grizzlies are a huge catch and shoot
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: funnel should be left open a good bit here for
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: the reason I mentioned about the double teams that Grizzlies
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: will throw at Harden twenty eight real points in three
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: straight games and thirty nine plus DK points in all
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: three of those games. So he's a very very high
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: upset option in seven K and THENK. Chris Dunn should
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: be playing a ton of minutes tonight. You can need
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: his on ball defense on jaw and if he can
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: shoot the ball well, then I think he could pay
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: off in a pretty big way as well. So I
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: like the secondary guys for the Clippers a lot. Don't
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: mind Harden, but think the matchup could be tougher for him.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: And then all those Memphis pieces that I mentioned.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, excellent breakdown, really good there, bringing it all down
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: for you here on this free show over here at
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: ship at Nation. We got two games left, We're gonna
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: we're gonna blow through these games and then get on away,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: go start building teams for the NBA go start building
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: teams for the NFL. We got the next one. Not
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: a very good real life game, but there might be
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: a piece or two. If you think the Thunder are
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: gonna blow this team out, but you got the Wizards
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: heading into Oka see eighteen point dogs Thunder with the
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: highest imploied total on the slate at one twenty two.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: We often talk about that's in the NFL. Right, if
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: they blow this team out, you get scared of the
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: blowout run, Well, maybe they have to get there by.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Someone has to to get there by blowing these guys out.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: But any interest for anybody on this Wizard squad that
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: might be coming in cheap, or anybody on this Thunder
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: team that you like tonight.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely agree with you about the blowout. No,
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: it's a little bit different with the team, like Okay, see,
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: just because they're so deep and they're very willing to
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: play deep into their bench. They also will be getting
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: jay Lynn Williams. Not jay Lynn, the backup center for
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: the Thunder, will be making his debut season debut tonight.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: But I mean they have a ton of guys. They
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: have all the G League guys up as well, so
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: they could very easily give nobody more than like thirty
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: two minutes tonight, which is kind of what I see happening.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Just I just think the Wizards are just obviously huge.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: It's a huge mismatch for the Wizards.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Okay see is just great defensively take away everything that
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: the Wizards want to do, and then the Wizards give
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: up their defense is just terrible to give up everything.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: So I think that you could you could play the
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: Big three for okay see. I think that if I'm
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: getting into it, I probably just want to play the
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: cheap which would be Harnstein. We love to attack the
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: Wizards with opposing centers all season long. They're dead last
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: and DVP. I guess centers also like this point guard,
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: so you can make the case for SGA. But yeah,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: I think I just want to go with the cheapest guy.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: I really don't want to get too deep into this game.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: I think that if you're playing like SGA or Jaylen Williams,
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: it might be it might make some sense to play
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: some Wizards pieces that would play if the game were
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: to be close, like Jordan Poole or Malcolm Brogden. Maybe,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: but I don't think I want to really set aside
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: too many of my rosters that do that tonight. Yeah,
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: so the Wizards wild probably be a full X out
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: unless cool Bally and Sar miss, which they're both questionable,
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: so maybe see more minutes for Keishaw. George at three
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: point three K probably played deep into blowout as well,
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: and then Joe val would I think he would get
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: the start, but it could be Marvin Bagley, but obviously
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Joe that would be a very strong option to four
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: point five K. He doesn't need a lot to get there,
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: so even in blowout, twenty two minutes from him is
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: probably enough for him to pay off the tag. So
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: if you start your lineup with Edie and and we
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: get news that Sara is out, you can just easily
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: swap that down to Jova. I think that he's probably
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: gonna be projecting for like thirty plus fantasy points if
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Sara does miss this game, and Jovel would be in
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: the starting lineup, But I don't I don't really want
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: to get deep into this one on the Wizard's side.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: Otherwise, yep, I would agree with you on that one
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: last game of the night that we're going to break
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: down over here at the Nation. It's the eleventh game
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: that we're going to talk about. It is the Portland
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: trail Blazer's head again to the Big D to take
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: on Luca and the MAVs. Talk to me about this game.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Should be an interesting game, should be an up and
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: down game. But Trailblazers at the Mavericks.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So normally the Luca injury news would be something
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: that would be very sleigh changing. I think that it is,
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: but on like a little bit of a lesser level,
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: just because these prices are coming up on these Dallas guys.
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: But it just hasn't been the same, Like we haven't
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: seen the same like crazy high end production that we
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: have from Kyrie last year when Luca were to miss.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: I kind of prefer Luca to be in tonight if
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: I wanted to get to Kyrie, because the matchup would
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: be very tough. Too many Kamara is going to be
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: guarding whichever one of Luca or Kyrie is going to
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: be running the point. So if it's Luca, I would
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: I'm not playing him coming off an injury eleven point
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: five k in a tough matchup, but if he's if
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: he's in, then Kyrie would be interesting in a point
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: five K because the basically do have a ton of
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: fantasy points opposing shooting guards, one of the worst teams
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: in that category, and really just awful defensive team all around.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: But I just I just don't think that there's enough
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: for me to want to wait on the Luca news
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: to get to like Dinwiddie or Klay Thompson, like these
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: guys got priced up a little bit. Obviously, Didnwoody has
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: really high ceiling with Luca out but not guaranteed to
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: play play a ton of minutes played only twenty nine
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: against the Clippers, still got there with the three steals.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: Maybe I've changed my tune a little bit. I do
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: think then we would be pretty solid play if Luca
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: were to be out. I just don't know if I
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: want to if I want to wait around for that news.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: I like the bigs for Dallas here. The player has
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: been getting beat up inside. They give them up a
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: ton of reboundings to opposing centers, so it could be
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: a good spot for either Derek Livey or Daniel Gafford.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: The prices are starting to separate a good bit here
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: where you GAF for fifteen dollars cheaper, but Obviously Lively
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: is gonna be the guy that's playing in the most minutes,
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: so I would prefer him definitely, Max one of those
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: two guys. It's not a super appealing game environment. I'm
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: not gonna play any pot than Godis tonight, don't. I
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: don't see the need to go there against a very,
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: very solid defensive team in the Dallas Mavericks. So yeah,
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: there's really not enough injury news on the polling side
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: to keep these guys in a playpool. For me and
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: Dallas side, it's uh, it's dinwiddie. If Luca is out,
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: I like carry a little bit. If Luca is in,
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: and then the bigs.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. I agree with metro Boom.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: It's like I've I've coored Carie a couple of times
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: and he just not taken over like you should. I
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: agree with you on that. That'll do it for us, folks.
• 49:04
