- 0:44Speaker 3: What is it? Four? Five five?
- 0:45Speaker 2: For the three shows that I've done thus far this week?
- 0:48Speaker 2: Maybe tomorrow's a little bigger. I can see right here.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Where is it, Bob? Also? Who we get in today?
- 0:54Speaker 2: So the schedule normally what it is. Of course, if
- 0:57Speaker 2: we got life stuff going on, we move it around.

- 1:03Speaker 2: Rio and I. Wednesdays you get Matt and Rio. Thursdays
- 1:08Speaker 2: you get Rio and I. Fridays you get Ham and Matt.
- 1:11Speaker 2: I'll be in for Ham the Man tomorrow. But that
- 1:15Speaker 2: is the normal schedule that you get three days for
- 1:17Speaker 2: most of us, and then Saturday you get a quick
- 1:19Speaker 2: hit from our man Ham. And then of course Slate
- 1:22Speaker 2: playing seven days a week cores all of that projections, ownership,
- 1:25Speaker 2: all that good stuff. But that's with the schedule. If
- 1:28Speaker 2: you want to write that down so you know who's
- 1:30Speaker 2: on the shows most days, that's what you got real.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Five games on FanDuel, five days on games on DraftKings.
- 1:35Speaker 2: I'll lock within one and a half hours of each
- 1:37Speaker 2: other pretty good in terms of if you want to
- 1:40Speaker 2: be enjoy real life stuff, you don't have to be locked.
- 1:43Speaker 4: In your computer for too long. But yeah, what are
- 1:45Speaker 4: your thoughts on this slate? How we doing doing good?
- 1:47Speaker 4: Thank you for asking. Last night was a pretty rough
- 1:52Speaker 4: slate for me personally. I actually ended up being like
- 1:56Speaker 4: kind of good all things considered. But I was able
- 2:00Speaker 4: to get in my late swaps in for that jazz stuff,
- 2:02Speaker 4: so I ended up with like thirty percent Nurkic in
- 2:05Speaker 4: my mme was able to get him or get him
- 2:08Speaker 4: out of like my single entry and all like the
- 2:10Speaker 4: satellite stuff, so I.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Chopped the whatever.
- 2:13Speaker 4: The twenty eight hundred dollars Fantasy Basketball World Championship ticket
- 2:16Speaker 4: is for fourteen hundred dish, so that helped kind of
- 2:20Speaker 4: level things out. But yeah, I felt pretty good about
- 2:23Speaker 4: some of the takes last night outside of the injuries.
- 2:25Speaker 4: Felt really strongly about Kobe White and Clason being bad plays,
- 2:29Speaker 4: but I still ended up playing a lot of them
- 2:31Speaker 4: because it's really tough when you see projections on guys
- 2:34Speaker 4: like that and they're just there's no way to get
- 2:37Speaker 4: around them projecting strongly, So you kind of just have
- 2:40Speaker 4: to say, like these projection systems no better than I do,
- 2:43Speaker 4: but was kind of talking them down all all night
- 2:46Speaker 4: last night. And then the Brook Lopez versus Yonik Niederhauser.
- 2:51Speaker 4: Feel good about that one. He was like two percent
- 2:53Speaker 4: in the lotto. I had fifteen percent. Still got a
- 2:55Speaker 4: ton of Brook, But I mean he's just never He's
- 2:58Speaker 4: never it. That was a little recap of last night.
- 3:01Speaker 4: But yeah, to night's late looks pretty solid. A lot
- 3:06Speaker 4: of star power going head to head Wemby and Giannis
- 3:09Speaker 4: should be a fun one. That Boston Miami game looks
- 3:11Speaker 4: really good. Okay, see in Houston, I think there's some
- 3:14Speaker 4: good games then obviously the Utah and Dallas game kind
- 3:18Speaker 4: of a tank off game where we have a ton
- 3:20Speaker 4: of value on the Dallas side and potentially some on
- 3:23Speaker 4: the Utah side as well.
- 3:24Speaker 3: So overall pretty solid slate.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, Reo missing light swaps not
- 3:28Speaker 2: very common, but too busy helping people out in chat,
- 3:31Speaker 2: dinkt enough time or what.
- 3:34Speaker 3: No, it definitely wasn't helping people.
- 3:36Speaker 4: I mean, I was helping people out, but I won't
- 3:37Speaker 4: blame it on that because it's part of the gig.
- 3:39Speaker 4: But I've done generally a pretty good job of multitasking,
- 3:43Speaker 4: helping people in discord and being able to light swap.
- 3:45Speaker 4: It was just things kind of running a little bit
- 3:48Speaker 4: too late, projections getting updated a little bit late, and
- 3:50Speaker 4: then saber. Don't want to blame it on them either,
- 3:53Speaker 4: because I could have got it done quicker, but it
- 3:54Speaker 4: was running a little slower than usual. Kind of has
- 3:57Speaker 4: been for a few people over the last two weeks
- 3:59Speaker 4: or so.
- 4:00Speaker 3: Yeah, that happened. What did uh?
- 4:02Speaker 2: So? I was just gonna ask because I went to
- 4:04Speaker 2: bed at halftime and I saw brookehead twenty.
- 4:06Speaker 3: So he finished the game with twenty. He literally did nothing. Yeah,
- 4:09Speaker 3: I mean he doesn't do anything. I don't know what
- 4:12Speaker 3: twenty in the first half. I mean that's pretty good.
- 4:14Speaker 3: But yeah, he remembered who he was.
- 4:16Speaker 4: He's just gonna stand around three point line, knock, get
- 4:18Speaker 4: any rebounds.
- 4:19Speaker 3: It's just what he does. Yeah, he loves chucking that.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I don't miss him on the box seeing a five
- 4:24Speaker 2: foot behind the arc transition three pointer.
- 4:27Speaker 3: From the top of the key. Definitely don't miss that.
- 4:30Speaker 2: I also don't miss people beating me in big head
- 4:33Speaker 2: on the big but five thirty head to heads playing
- 4:35Speaker 2: John Collins, I mean, come on, how am I losing
- 4:38Speaker 2: to the people that are playing guys that aren't even
- 4:40Speaker 2: on the court. Granted I did have Sar who got ejected,
- 4:43Speaker 2: so that didn't help, but yeah, not the best night.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Over here, really weird night overall.
- 4:48Speaker 4: I mean, you had who Cooper Flagg got injured mid game,
- 4:50Speaker 4: you had the Sar rejection, Bron Tiveley Brunson too, and
- 4:55Speaker 4: then Kat didn't even do anything after Bruntsey got injured.
- 4:58Speaker 4: I mean, Kat looks kind of I don't know, he doesn't.
- 5:01Speaker 4: He's not looking great right now. Just to kind of
- 5:03Speaker 4: put it lightly, I don't want to tick off our
- 5:06Speaker 4: our Knicks fans, but the Knicks looking looking bad right now.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I like taking off the Knicks fan seeing them tilt
- 5:13Speaker 2: is pretty funny.
- 5:14Speaker 3: Well, else we got we got.
- 5:15Speaker 2: Jason Turner, Little Neck, our Man, Jordan Clinton, Bob JP,
- 5:20Speaker 2: Sean Sullivan, Paarabye, Doug Louis, Brandon, Kame Green, Coach Brock.

- 5:31Speaker 2: million different names have already said that are in a row.
- 5:33Speaker 2: So trying not to double long Leaf Michael Forreren Philly

- 6:19Speaker 2: like we did for runs two, three, and four. Showdown
- 6:22Speaker 2: content of course projections for that as well. In addition
- 6:25Speaker 2: to PGA, though obviously you get NBA, which we're talking
- 6:28Speaker 2: about NHL shout out to the team Neids Sharks helped
- 6:32Speaker 2: Sharks helps out a lot there. But if you do
- 6:34Speaker 2: join up, join for that five days nineteen bucks, you

- 6:50Speaker 2: thousand people and that excited to watch that game. Indiana
- 6:53Speaker 2: Miami five days, nineteen dollars. Will take you through a
- 6:56Speaker 2: lot of different sports. We'd love to have you also
- 6:58Speaker 2: have a daily pass if you want to it out
- 7:00Speaker 2: for nine dollars, but I think you spend the ten
- 7:03Speaker 2: extra get the discord with it. Also, do get sabersim
- 7:06Speaker 2: pa is the best.
- 7:08Speaker 4: They couldn't put a bigger contest out for the football Championship.
- 7:12Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty three thousand. I don't know colleges. Part of
- 7:16Speaker 2: it has to do with multiple states have it banned,
- 7:18Speaker 2: so I don't know they have their Obviously they probably
- 7:22Speaker 2: have a good amount of data and location. I assume
- 7:24Speaker 2: that they probably could have filled more. But yeah, who
- 7:27Speaker 2: knows how many like high dollar people that they think
- 7:30Speaker 2: might have MAX that are in states that they can't
- 7:32Speaker 2: even play. So I don't know how that all breaks down,
- 7:35Speaker 2: but I assume it'll fill like most times, and that
- 7:37Speaker 2: they underwhelmed. What else, there's one other thing, oh from Jordan,
- 7:44Speaker 2: let me find it. No, so it's actually going to
- 7:46Speaker 2: be Mass started the year doing it. We had a
- 7:48Speaker 2: little schedule change. It will be Ham doing it on Saturdays,
- 7:52Speaker 2: so you'll get him on the week in content, So
- 7:53Speaker 2: a little change there.
- 7:54Speaker 3: You get met three times a week now, so it
- 7:56Speaker 3: is a good, good transition. Yep.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll get Ham or you'll get Matt three times
- 8:01Speaker 2: during the week on the live shows.
- 8:03Speaker 3: You'll get Ham on the weekends.
- 8:05Speaker 2: I got nothing else, any broad slid anything for you
- 8:08Speaker 2: before we go game by game.
- 8:10Speaker 3: No, I yeah, let's just jump right into it. I guess,
- 8:14Speaker 3: jump right into it.
- 8:15Speaker 2: First game of the night, Detroit Pistons and the Phoenix Suns.
- 8:19Speaker 2: We have a two eighteen and a half total seven
- 8:21Speaker 2: to half point favorites. Are the Pistons Looking at the
- 8:24Speaker 2: injury report? No d Book for Phoenix. He came down
- 8:27Speaker 2: and his ankle. He did come back in that game.
- 8:29Speaker 2: What a game that was. I was at the poker
- 8:31Speaker 2: table with some Suns fans that were losing a lot
- 8:33Speaker 2: of money on that game. Good back and forth, but
- 8:35Speaker 2: d Book did come back. Man, Dylan broochs is out
- 8:38Speaker 2: of his mind this year too. His mid range jump
- 8:41Speaker 2: jumpers is one on one ISO play. But yeah, no
- 8:44Speaker 2: D Book is obviously very important on the Detroit side. No,
- 8:47Speaker 2: Paul Reid, that is it for them though, break it down,
- 8:51Speaker 2: let me sort just by ownership, not too much ownership
- 8:54Speaker 2: in this game. But obviously if people are playing it,
- 8:56Speaker 2: they are going to be playing the Sun side without
- 8:59Speaker 2: their best player.
- 9:00Speaker 3: What do you got?
- 9:01Speaker 4: Yeah, Dylan Brook's playing great this year, but could not
- 9:04Speaker 4: hit two and a half threes for US shot ten
- 9:07Speaker 4: threes last game went one for ten. So I think
- 9:10Speaker 4: the process of the bet there was pretty good, but
- 9:12Speaker 4: just the result not there. But yeah, Devin Booker being out,
- 9:16Speaker 4: I think that will definitely. I mean, obviously it's going
- 9:18Speaker 4: to hurt the Suns offensively. They do have enough guys
- 9:21Speaker 4: to where they can keep this close, and I would
- 9:23Speaker 4: say style wise they match up pretty well here. Detroit's
- 9:27Speaker 4: favored by seven and a half. I could I think
- 9:29Speaker 4: that there is a chance that they the Sons do
- 9:31Speaker 4: get blown out, but they're well coached and they do
- 9:33Speaker 4: have a pretty solid roster behind Devin Booker, so they
- 9:37Speaker 4: can keep it close. But the Suns are a big
- 9:40Speaker 4: three point funnel and kind of same thing with the
- 9:43Speaker 4: Heat game, Like you have a lot of guys, a
- 9:44Speaker 4: lot of snipers, on the Sun side that should be
- 9:47Speaker 4: able to pick up some slack left behind with Booker out.
- 9:51Speaker 4: Dylan Brooks obviously the guy that benefits the most. He's
- 9:53Speaker 4: just had a massive usage rate increase with Booker off
- 9:56Speaker 4: the court this year, up to thirty eight percent, so
- 9:59Speaker 4: you can kind of argue that he's under price for
- 10:02Speaker 4: the role that we should expect from him. The fantasy
- 10:04Speaker 4: port from minted production is not great, like he's just
- 10:06Speaker 4: going to be chucking a lot, doesn't really do a
- 10:08Speaker 4: ton of the peripheral stats he can at times. But
- 10:11Speaker 4: you're more so hoping for a really efficient scoring night,
- 10:14Speaker 4: which is tough to come by with Dylan Brooks. And
- 10:17Speaker 4: I think he's gonna have his hands full defensively guarding Kid.
- 10:20Speaker 4: But I do think that if the game does stay close,
- 10:22Speaker 4: Dylan Brooks is probably a big reason, or a big
- 10:26Speaker 4: maybe the reason why it does stay close. I think
- 10:28Speaker 4: he's pretty solid at his ownership. Very surprised I might
- 10:32Speaker 4: need an update. I'm not sure if the ownership has
- 10:34Speaker 4: been updated for Phoenix, but these guys are looking pretty
- 10:37Speaker 4: low owned right now. But let's see, okay near mind,
- 10:42Speaker 4: I just updated, so they're they're looking a lot higher
- 10:44Speaker 4: on Sabersim. But yeah, both we're both updated looks like
- 10:48Speaker 4: to where we should be, okay, So that definitely changes
- 10:52Speaker 4: things because I think at ownership it's you can make
- 10:54Speaker 4: the case get away from like Dylan Brooks and some
- 10:56Speaker 4: of these other guys. But a couple of guys I
- 11:00Speaker 4: do have a lot of interest in our Grayson Allen
- 11:02Speaker 4: and Jordan Goodwin. In particular, Grayson Allen should be back
- 11:05Speaker 4: in the starting lineup tonight, a chance to play low
- 11:07Speaker 4: thirties minutes up to twenty seven last game, but just
- 11:10Speaker 4: a really good matchup for him here with the Pistons
- 11:13Speaker 4: struggling against off ball scoring guys like him. So I
- 11:15Speaker 4: like him the most. Probably actually have Jordan Goodwin slightly
- 11:19Speaker 4: ahead of Grayson Allen. I feel pretty confident that he's
- 11:22Speaker 4: going to be a very solid fantasy point p minuted
- 11:24Speaker 4: producer with Booker out right around one point one fantasy
- 11:27Speaker 4: point per minute. With Booker off the team, he's second
- 11:30Speaker 4: on the team in assist percentage as well. In those
- 11:32Speaker 4: minutes and in the games that Booker missed there's about
- 11:36Speaker 4: a three game sample size. He was checking in behind
- 11:38Speaker 4: Royce O'Neill and in some instances he was closing over
- 11:41Speaker 4: Kong Gillespie. So I think if you're considering multiple suns,
- 11:44Speaker 4: I would want to set a max two rule of
- 11:46Speaker 4: those guys Jordan Goodwin, Royce O'Neil, and Con Gillespie.
- 11:51Speaker 3: I do like Lesbie a little bit.
- 11:52Speaker 4: He's sees the third highest usage bump with Booker off
- 11:55Speaker 4: the court the season, and he has a few more
- 11:57Speaker 4: outs to get there should be the lead ball handler
- 11:59Speaker 4: in the first so has the potential for some more
- 12:02Speaker 4: assist here. And he's also a pretty solid three point
- 12:04Speaker 4: shooter as well, so has some scoring upside. But the
- 12:08Speaker 4: downside is that if they wanted to go with more
- 12:11Speaker 4: defense than the first una, Jordan Goodwin would kind of
- 12:13Speaker 4: check off that box. So I don't want to get
- 12:15Speaker 4: a lot of those guys all on the same lineup.
- 12:18Speaker 4: I think that covers it for the Suns. Like you
- 12:20Speaker 4: could make the case for Mark Williams being a little
- 12:22Speaker 4: bit too cheap and there's a chance that he gets
- 12:24Speaker 4: back up to thirty minutes played thirty one against Miami,
- 12:28Speaker 4: and that's not really a great matchup. Kind Of similar here,
- 12:30Speaker 4: Miami's pretty good at defending the rim. Detroit's going to
- 12:33Speaker 4: do that as well, I don't know, you know, really
- 12:38Speaker 4: what they want him playing, but it would be a
- 12:40Speaker 4: good matchup for him for the Sons to get more
- 12:43Speaker 4: size on the court, so he does make some sense.
- 12:45Speaker 4: Don't really think I want to mess around with Ryan Dunn.
- 12:47Speaker 4: Just don't think he's a very exciting play. But if
- 12:50Speaker 4: you are considering him, it would be a max two
- 12:53Speaker 4: of Grayson Allen, dun Brooks, and Ryan Dunn because he
- 12:56Speaker 4: would be kind of eating into those guys.
- 12:57Speaker 3: Minutes the Sun side before you go.
- 13:00Speaker 2: But I well, I just ownership wise, like there's it's updated,
- 13:04Speaker 2: but I guess I don't necessarily believe it. Like Grayson Allen,
- 13:07Speaker 2: I think is probably the highest owned Sun being Guard
- 13:10Speaker 2: and Forge at fort Elgibilding only fifty two hundred. They
- 13:14Speaker 2: had meant nine percent, So this to me would be like,
- 13:17Speaker 2: let's say twenty six.
- 13:18Speaker 3: I mean Ryan Dunn.
- 13:19Speaker 2: I like, yeah, it is a five game slate, but
- 13:22Speaker 2: there's like it feels like a really strong mid tier slate,
- 13:26Speaker 2: Like I don't think we're gonna see people punting for
- 13:28Speaker 2: thirty one hundred to jam In like Giannis or even
- 13:31Speaker 2: the Caids and stuff. So I don't necessarily believe this
- 13:33Speaker 2: at all. Maybe this is nine percent and you flip
- 13:36Speaker 2: Grayson and Done and maybe it's something like this. So
- 13:39Speaker 2: I just wanted to like Ilesbie. Yeah, maybe that's about right,
- 13:43Speaker 2: Brooks and stuff. I just wanted to make a note.
- 13:45Speaker 2: I think Done is way too like projected. He's projected
- 13:50Speaker 2: way too high relative to what I think he will be.
- 13:52Speaker 2: And I think Grayce is projected way too low relative
- 13:55Speaker 2: to what I think he'll be. If you want to
- 13:57Speaker 2: add anything there others to take it to the Pistons
- 13:59Speaker 2: who aren't getting much ownership at all.
- 14:01Speaker 3: No, I agree.
- 14:01Speaker 4: I mean we've talked about ownership discrepancies a lot throughout
- 14:05Speaker 4: the year. It's tough to get it's a moving target,
- 14:08Speaker 4: so it's pretty tough.
- 14:08Speaker 3: But I'd agree.
- 14:09Speaker 4: I don't think he's going to be one of the
- 14:11Speaker 4: chalkier plays in the slate, that being Ryan Done, but
- 14:14Speaker 4: I do think that those other Sons.
- 14:16Speaker 3: Guys will definitely get an ownership boost. Yeah.
- 14:19Speaker 4: I was just gonna say the Detroit side honestly is
- 14:21Speaker 4: very easy to get away from. All these guys are
- 14:24Speaker 4: priced up for life without kid and now Kaid's returning,
- 14:26Speaker 4: even he is very expensive at ten point seven K.
- 14:30Speaker 3: I don't really see this being a spot where I
- 14:32Speaker 3: need to go there.
- 14:34Speaker 4: And then Jamn Duran returning from you know, a week
- 14:36Speaker 4: long absence with the ankle injury, maybe even a little
- 14:38Speaker 4: bit longer than that. I forgot what the last time
- 14:40Speaker 4: he played was. But don't think that he's going to
- 14:42Speaker 4: magically get up to like thirty two to thirty three minutes.
- 14:45Speaker 4: They'll probably cap him at like twenty eight, which is
- 14:48Speaker 4: definitely enough for a guy like him to get there.
- 14:50Speaker 4: But I think you're just asking for a lot to
- 14:52Speaker 4: go into the piston side tonight, so probably won't have much.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Definitely max two, maybe even a max one on Detroit.
- 15:00Speaker 2: To spend on someone above ten K three options SGA
- 15:03Speaker 2: ten to five, K, ten to seven, Yannis eleven K.
- 15:06Speaker 3: Who do you think? Who do you think would be
- 15:08Speaker 3: your guy? It's gonna be honest for me tonight.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I agree, And I think a lot of
- 15:13Speaker 2: that has to do with position as well, But.
- 15:16Speaker 3: I'm in agreement. I would go be honest.
- 15:18Speaker 2: There are some solid upper nine K options when they
- 15:20Speaker 2: get there. But yeah, I think Detroit side a very
- 15:22Speaker 2: easy fade. Always love me some Glass, We always love
- 15:26Speaker 2: me some Dylan Brooks this year, and I think good
- 15:27Speaker 2: one's interesting too. So you said next two to three.
- 15:30Speaker 2: If I got two on my team, I would totally
- 15:32Speaker 2: be good with that. Next game on the slate, OKC
- 15:35Speaker 2: Thunder and the Houston Rockets four NAT point favorites are
- 15:39Speaker 2: the Thunder two twenty two and a half total in
- 15:41Speaker 2: this one. Injuries for the OKC side Lou Dort is
- 15:44Speaker 2: questionable again. As far as the Houston side, no Tara Easan.
- 15:50Speaker 2: So pretty light in terms of injury news and pretty
- 15:52Speaker 2: much on the slate in terms of Q tags at least,
- 15:55Speaker 2: it is pretty light in terms of news. It feels
- 15:58Speaker 2: like the I think it's Dallas if I'm not mistaken,
- 16:01Speaker 2: has the most injury news. And that's the last game. Yeah,
- 16:04Speaker 2: that's the last game of the night, PJ and Gafford.
- 16:06Speaker 2: So take that for how you want. Looking at ownership
- 16:10Speaker 2: in this game, super super low on two good defensive teams,
- 16:14Speaker 2: low total, two healthy teams, efficiently priced. This feels pretty
- 16:18Speaker 2: easy to cross off for me. You got any any
- 16:21Speaker 2: pieces you like?
- 16:23Speaker 4: Yeah, not really, I don't. I mean, these are two
- 16:27Speaker 4: really really good defensive teams. I mean they are kind
- 16:31Speaker 4: of playing a little bit below their average on the season.
- 16:35Speaker 4: Okay See's first in defense, they fall into six over
- 16:37Speaker 4: the last two weeks. Houston's fourth eleventh over the last
- 16:40Speaker 4: two weeks. But still these are two really good defenses.
- 16:44Speaker 4: I think there are ways that you can attack each defense,
- 16:46Speaker 4: but not sure if you're really getting paid off enough
- 16:49Speaker 4: for it to matter in DFS. For okay See, it's
- 16:52Speaker 4: guys that score off ball. Houston is not really a
- 16:55Speaker 4: team that has a ton of those, like like they
- 16:58Speaker 4: don't have the Grayson Allens and whoever else like Klay
- 17:02Speaker 4: Thompson type of players, not saying play is like incredible
- 17:05Speaker 4: at this point of his career, but they don't have
- 17:06Speaker 4: those elite off ball scoring options anymore.
- 17:11Speaker 3: So I don't know.
- 17:11Speaker 4: I don't really see anything on Houston that's a priority.
- 17:14Speaker 4: I do like Senggoon at nine point two K, good price, tag,
- 17:16Speaker 4: good eligibility. He's definitely my favorite option on Houston, and
- 17:21Speaker 4: okay See is a little bit worse with their rebounding
- 17:24Speaker 4: when you take Isaiah Harten sign off the court. I
- 17:27Speaker 4: wish that Steven Adams was starting alongside of Sengngoon, but
- 17:31Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to do that here. It's
- 17:32Speaker 4: just a little bit harder to play double bigs when
- 17:34Speaker 4: you have cheat at the five. Yeah, I do think
- 17:37Speaker 4: Sangoon is the guy I'm looking to on Houston. A
- 17:40Speaker 4: little bit of interest in KD at eight point nine
- 17:42Speaker 4: k just at being.
- 17:43Speaker 3: A smaller slate.
- 17:44Speaker 4: You don't really need like sixty plus from him at
- 17:46Speaker 4: that price tag if other guys in that same range fail.
- 17:49Speaker 4: And then Jabbari is a guy that stylistically has a
- 17:52Speaker 4: pretty good matchup as an off ball scoring option, but
- 17:55Speaker 4: just feels very tough to get GPP winning scores from
- 17:59Speaker 4: j Smith unless you just look into.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Like a double double. He's shooting the ball horribly right now.
- 18:04Speaker 4: Did shoot at a little bit better last game two
- 18:07Speaker 4: for seven from three, but before that was like one
- 18:09Speaker 4: for twenty over his last three games from three point line.
- 18:13Speaker 4: But you do want to beat okay see with the
- 18:14Speaker 4: afall scoring guys. So it does lean a little bit
- 18:17Speaker 4: more to Jabari's matchup here, And same thing for Reach Shepherd,
- 18:21Speaker 4: like he is a guy that feels like he could
- 18:24Speaker 4: break a slate. Don't know if they're going to go
- 18:27Speaker 4: there tonight. They played JD. Davison over him last game.
- 18:31Speaker 4: I think that he provides a little bit like what
- 18:34Speaker 4: they need right now from a guy like Reed Shepherd
- 18:36Speaker 4: is more defense and he's getting hunted whenever he's in
- 18:40Speaker 4: the courts. I don't think I want to go to
- 18:41Speaker 4: Rea Sheperd but I do think Davison is kind of
- 18:44Speaker 4: an interesting talking point because he played twenty five minutes
- 18:46Speaker 4: last game off the bench, closed over some of the
- 18:49Speaker 4: over Josh Okogi, which I was that just felt like
- 18:52Speaker 4: a weird start. He only played like twelve minutes as
- 18:55Speaker 4: a starter. But I think they might be going to J. D.
- 18:59Speaker 4: Davison a little bit more. We're moving forward. He's only
- 19:00Speaker 4: three point four K. Maybe like a pivot off of
- 19:05Speaker 4: you're not playing him over Brandon Williams, maybe Jane Hardy.
- 19:09Speaker 4: I would consider that, but I don't love it. And
- 19:11Speaker 4: then the okay C side, it's really just Shae and
- 19:14Speaker 4: move on. If you're playing any of these guys, I
- 19:16Speaker 4: think it's an okay matchup for him. He did go
- 19:17Speaker 4: for fifty six d K points against Houston the first
- 19:20Speaker 4: time these teams met, but that was a double overtime game,
- 19:22Speaker 4: so honestly was a pretty bad outing for him after
- 19:25Speaker 4: playing forty seven minutes in that one.
- 19:28Speaker 3: But he's playing a little bit better right now.
- 19:29Speaker 4: Houston's bottom three and pick and roll defense, but they're
- 19:32Speaker 4: pretty elite basically everywhere else.
- 19:34Speaker 3: I think that Shay has the best matchup.
- 19:36Speaker 4: And then lou Dort might open up a little bit
- 19:38Speaker 4: of value if he does get ruled out. Don't think
- 19:41Speaker 4: the value would be much better than what we already have,
- 19:43Speaker 4: but Cruso would be the guy that I'm looking to
- 19:45Speaker 4: if Dort were to.
- 19:46Speaker 3: Be out as Ga or Caid.
- 19:52Speaker 4: I feel like Shay is safer, but Caid has a
- 19:54Speaker 4: better upside if that helps at all.
- 19:57Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, you're trying to win Caid. JD.
- 20:00Speaker 2: Davison like what, like do you plan on bumping his
- 20:04Speaker 2: projection to like fifteen? Because right now, if you run yourself,
- 20:07Speaker 2: you're gonna get zero, even a one hundred and fifty,
- 20:09Speaker 2: you're not gonna get any JD. Davison on this late
- 20:12Speaker 2: how do you see yourself Like you're not really wanting
- 20:15Speaker 2: to put min exposure in it, like bump three?
- 20:17Speaker 3: Are you gonna bump this projection? Is?
- 20:20Speaker 2: Like? How much do you see yourself getting of him
- 20:22Speaker 2: at the end of the day. Does he need to.
- 20:25Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 20:26Speaker 2: I like, I'm like, you're talking him up even on
- 20:28Speaker 2: a five game slate, though, you have to do something
- 20:30Speaker 2: with his projection or his mint exposure to get any So, yeah,
- 20:35Speaker 2: what do you see yourself doing?
- 20:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you're I'm probably not going to go there.
- 20:39Speaker 4: I just feel like it's too thin of a play
- 20:41Speaker 4: to go there. But you'd have to bump up his
- 20:43Speaker 4: minutes like the ceiling, which feels like twenty five. I
- 20:46Speaker 4: just don't I don't know how often he's gonna play
- 20:48Speaker 4: that much when when this team is as healthy as
- 20:51Speaker 4: they are. But he could be in like the the
- 20:53Speaker 4: Tarry Usten roll off the bench because he is kind
- 20:56Speaker 4: of provides like a similar skill setting in the sense
- 20:59Speaker 4: that he was like a freak athlete and really good
- 21:02Speaker 4: with the like steals and transition all that stuff, but
- 21:05Speaker 4: more of like a three and D type of guy.
- 21:07Speaker 3: If that's what they if that's what they need from him,
- 21:09Speaker 3: All right, look at our man Little Neck again.
- 21:12Speaker 2: You can always find Little Neck's content NBA Showdown slate
- 21:15Speaker 2: plan Monday through Friday. Does a phenomenal job also in
- 21:18Speaker 2: the discord all the time. You can ask him questions.
- 21:20Speaker 2: But yeah, I always like myself. Some former G League
- 21:24Speaker 2: MVPs Fantasy point per Minute machine.
- 21:27Speaker 3: I like that.
- 21:29Speaker 2: This completely off topic, but do you see the big
- 21:31Speaker 2: scandal that just came out with Chinese basketball and some
- 21:35Speaker 2: college basketball people throwing games and the whole gambling thing
- 21:40Speaker 2: going on.
- 21:41Speaker 3: No, that's still like a Chinese basketball league that's happening.
- 21:45Speaker 2: It was believe people in the East Coast certain I
- 21:50Speaker 2: don't know all the details, but they were paying They
- 21:53Speaker 2: were finding people and paying them to throw games and stuff.
- 21:58Speaker 2: I think it was like twenty nine games they said
- 21:59Speaker 2: that through college basketball and Chinese or something that they
- 22:03Speaker 2: were found guilty.
- 22:05Speaker 3: On and stuff.
- 22:05Speaker 2: So there's what twenty seven people maybe or something too
- 22:08Speaker 2: that just got caught today or brought in and stuff.
- 22:11Speaker 2: So yeah, someone put like a I don't know if
- 22:13Speaker 2: it was like a four hundred and thirty four thousand
- 22:15Speaker 2: dollars first half like minus eight and a half. I
- 22:18Speaker 2: don't know if it was Ken State like some small
- 22:20Speaker 2: ass school like something.
- 22:21Speaker 3: You just you got it.
- 22:23Speaker 2: If you're gonna do it, you probably gotta do it
- 22:24Speaker 2: better than that. But I just saw videos coming out
- 22:26Speaker 2: on Twitter. These dudes that were involved. Oh my gosh,
- 22:29Speaker 2: they couldn't have made it any more obvious and how
- 22:31Speaker 2: bad these dudes are playing and what they're doing.
- 22:34Speaker 4: So yeah, it feels like these people think that they're
- 22:36Speaker 4: smarter than like they had. They're monitoring every single bet
- 22:39Speaker 4: that comes in. They're gonna know if like a random
- 22:41Speaker 4: four hundred thousand dollar bet comes in on like a
- 22:43Speaker 4: random college team.
- 22:45Speaker 2: There was a tweet or that one of the guys
- 22:48Speaker 2: that the text was found by one of them. He goes,
- 22:50Speaker 2: the only thing guaranteed is what death taxes and Chinese
- 22:53Speaker 2: basketball or something like that.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Man, just crazy.
- 22:58Speaker 2: I would assume Rio says still ABC on Fandel as well,
- 23:01Speaker 2: definitely would be for me. You can only play two
- 23:04Speaker 2: point guards and point guards pretty strong, so I think
- 23:07Speaker 2: it's probably even more clear on Fandle.
- 23:10Speaker 3: I agree, yep. I was just looking at J. D.
- 23:13Speaker 4: Davidson's G League stats because Ludnick brought up Yeah, he's
- 23:16Speaker 4: he's been hooping down there. A lot of these guys
- 23:18Speaker 4: are going to do really well down there. It's kind
- 23:20Speaker 4: of similar to college if you make it to the NBA,
- 23:22Speaker 4: like you're probably really good in college. Also, but yeah,
- 23:26Speaker 4: I mean, he's twenty five points per game, seven point
- 23:29Speaker 4: six assists, five point three rebounds per game last year.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Pretty good, yeah.
- 23:33Speaker 2: I mean I believe, like if you're a G League MVP,
- 23:36Speaker 2: I believe your game can translate to the NBA for
- 23:38Speaker 2: the most part. I mean, you're you're a hooper, a
- 23:40Speaker 2: high level hooper. When it's all said and done, all right,
- 23:43Speaker 2: we'll keep a roll. Next game on the slate, Boston
- 23:45Speaker 2: Celtics and the Miami Heat two and a half point
- 23:49Speaker 2: favorites of the Celtics. Pretty big total, actually the biggest,
- 23:51Speaker 2: second biggest on the slate behind the MAVs two thirty
- 23:54Speaker 2: four and a half in this one. Injuries nothing on
- 23:57Speaker 2: the Boston side to note as far as Miami Heimi
- 24:00Speaker 2: hotkeas and then Davion Mitchell, who left last game early
- 24:04Speaker 2: is also out again. I mean, man, what a big
- 24:07Speaker 2: total when you think of Boston and Miami, close spread,
- 24:11Speaker 2: big total. Little injuries on the Miami side, and that
- 24:14Speaker 2: is why you see the top three players in terms
- 24:17Speaker 2: of ownership from this game coming from Miami. I'm not
- 24:19Speaker 2: going to go right back to Hero and Norm Powell.
- 24:21Speaker 2: No Day or no Devion, no Hotkes. Just helps them
- 24:25Speaker 2: have the ball in their hand a little more.
- 24:26Speaker 3: So. Here's to hear your take on BAM.
- 24:28Speaker 2: Though we've talked about him a lot lately seven K
- 24:31Speaker 2: price tag just center eligible. But yeah, it seems like
- 24:34Speaker 2: a solid game, especially on the Miami side.
- 24:36Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, it's a little bit surprising that this game
- 24:40Speaker 4: does have the second highest total. But it's not like
- 24:43Speaker 4: Boston is the same defense as they were last couple
- 24:46Speaker 4: of seasons with Christops and Drew Holliday out there. They
- 24:49Speaker 4: still have some really good defenders like jam Brown is
- 24:51Speaker 4: one of the best two way guys, Derek White good defender,
- 24:54Speaker 4: Kate a pretty good shop blocker, solid defender. But yeah,
- 24:57Speaker 4: it's not like a not a lockdown defense any means.
- 25:01Speaker 4: They are at number two in offense over the last
- 25:03Speaker 4: two weeks, eighteenth in defense over that span, Miami's thirteenth
- 25:07Speaker 4: in defense of twenty seventh in offense. Definitely think that
- 25:10Speaker 4: this game could provide some fireworks. But as far as
- 25:14Speaker 4: the Bam stuff goes, I'm not sure if I'm believing
- 25:17Speaker 4: what I saw last game. I mean, he's been really
- 25:20Speaker 4: bad all season long. I'm sure that he's seen all
- 25:22Speaker 4: the stuff on Twitter about him, you know, performing poorly.
- 25:27Speaker 4: I did have a pretty solid role though, nine drives
- 25:29Speaker 4: in that game, two and a half minutes a touch
- 25:31Speaker 4: time sixty seven Front cour Touches definitely have a little
- 25:34Speaker 4: bit of interest in him at seven K because he
- 25:36Speaker 4: is a guy that, if he's playing well, can be
- 25:39Speaker 4: priced at like eight point five K and can go
- 25:41Speaker 4: for fifty plus in any matchup. I do think that
- 25:44Speaker 4: he does match up pretty well against Kata though Kada
- 25:47Speaker 4: is a really really big guy, and Bam can take
- 25:49Speaker 4: him off the dribble, so I like him a bit.
- 25:52Speaker 4: But yeah, I agree with you on Hero and Norm Powell.
- 25:54Speaker 4: Really good to see Hero get up to thirty nine
- 25:56Speaker 4: minutes last game. Definitely no more of a minutes limit
- 25:59Speaker 4: on him. See him projected like around thirty six minutes.
- 26:02Speaker 4: That's really good. And we have a pretty large sample
- 26:05Speaker 4: over the last two seasons of him being the guy
- 26:07Speaker 4: that sees the biggest boost in usage when you take
- 26:09Speaker 4: off Davion and Hami, Hawkez and some of those other guys.
- 26:12Speaker 4: So I like hear the most on the heat tonight,
- 26:14Speaker 4: but definitely think it's a really good price seg for
- 26:16Speaker 4: Norm Powell as well. I think you can play them
- 26:18Speaker 4: together for sure. Probably don't want all three of Bam,
- 26:21Speaker 4: Hero and Powell. I think it gets a little bit
- 26:24Speaker 4: too hard to get ceiling there. Also, I was reading
- 26:27Speaker 4: an article about the heat offense, which has been a
- 26:29Speaker 4: really big talking point all year long because they've basically
- 26:32Speaker 4: don't run pick and roll anymore.
- 26:35Speaker 3: And it was just kind of funny.
- 26:36Speaker 4: You hear like Spolsh was saying, we're not gonna We're
- 26:40Speaker 4: basically not going to change our game plan, and then
- 26:41Speaker 4: Tyle Heroes like, we have to run more pick and roll,
- 26:44Speaker 4: and then I saw like two days ago he was
- 26:46Speaker 4: one of the most likely guys to get traded. Just
- 26:48Speaker 4: kind of kind of a funny turn of events. But yeah,
- 26:51Speaker 4: we'll see what they.
- 26:52Speaker 2: I couldn't imagine not running pick and roll with Hero
- 26:55Speaker 2: and Bam. I mean, you have one of the better
- 26:57Speaker 2: shooters in the NBA off the screen and you can
- 27:00Speaker 2: spot up norm Norms are actually good at and pick
- 27:02Speaker 2: and roll too. But maybe there's more advanced stuff I'm
- 27:05Speaker 2: not seeing. But Bam can pick and pop or get
- 27:07Speaker 2: to the rims.
- 27:07Speaker 3: I I mean, man, I always.
- 27:10Speaker 2: Think of picking rolls as cheat codes, especially the NBA
- 27:12Speaker 2: players that don't like going through screens all day. I
- 27:15Speaker 2: look at Steph, that dude just runs around forever. People
- 27:18Speaker 2: don't like chasing them.
- 27:20Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, definitely odd, But I mean they have improved
- 27:22Speaker 4: offensively getting away from the pick and roll, which just
- 27:25Speaker 4: I think maybe a lot of I don't know about
- 27:27Speaker 4: like the efficiency numbers, but they are just kind of
- 27:29Speaker 4: playing much faster paced, so and they're they're kind of
- 27:32Speaker 4: just scoring more that way with the pace being faster. Yeah,
- 27:36Speaker 4: outside of Hero, Bam and Norm don't really have a
- 27:40Speaker 4: lot of interest in Wiggins.
- 27:41Speaker 3: He's just not doing that well.
- 27:43Speaker 4: He's had like three good games over the last month,
- 27:45Speaker 4: and those were against really soft opponents. Don't really think
- 27:48Speaker 4: that I want to go to him against Boston. But
- 27:51Speaker 4: you get to some of the value plays like Yovic,
- 27:53Speaker 4: Pelly Larson, and Drew Smith.
- 27:55Speaker 3: I think all these guys will have a chance to
- 27:56Speaker 3: step up.
- 27:57Speaker 4: I feel like Yovich is probably the guy that steps
- 27:59Speaker 4: into the Heimihawk his role off the bench. Don't think
- 28:02Speaker 4: he's going to play the same amount a minute time.
- 28:03Speaker 4: He's basically playing started like minutes, but twenty five twenty
- 28:06Speaker 4: six within the range of outcomes for Yovic for sure.
- 28:10Speaker 4: And then Larson should be the guy that's slotted into
- 28:12Speaker 4: the starting lineup. They'll probably just put Hero down to
- 28:14Speaker 4: point guard Norm at the two. Larson at the three,
- 28:18Speaker 4: but yeah, he's He's a guy I definitely have interested
- 28:20Speaker 4: in four K, really good price tag for him, probably
- 28:22Speaker 4: playing close to thirty minutes. Definitely need him for some
- 28:24Speaker 4: of that on ball defense on Derek White and Payton Prichard,
- 28:27Speaker 4: So he kind of slots into the Davon Mitchell role.
- 28:31Speaker 4: So probably Larson one of my favorite value plays on
- 28:32Speaker 4: the slate, and then Drew Smith behind him, I think
- 28:35Speaker 4: is a guy that you can definitely consider. I guess
- 28:37Speaker 4: that's probably why you're not playing J. D.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Davison.
- 28:39Speaker 4: You have Drew Smith right there at the same price
- 28:41Speaker 4: tag and with a more defined role, So I would
- 28:43Speaker 4: definitely prefer him there, But then that covers it for Miami.
- 28:48Speaker 4: On the Boston side, feels like it's just like if
- 28:51Speaker 4: you're getting to the three main guys being Brown, White
- 28:54Speaker 4: and Prichard, it feels like Brown is clearly the best
- 28:58Speaker 4: option there.
- 28:58Speaker 3: Just playing really good right now. Now.
- 29:00Speaker 4: Scored forty four DK points in all but one of
- 29:02Speaker 4: his last twelve games, went for fifty two point two
- 29:05Speaker 4: to five DK points versus Miami. Last time was one
- 29:08Speaker 4: rebound shy of the double double bonus. Pretty good matchup
- 29:12Speaker 4: versus Miami who allows you to jack up a ton
- 29:14Speaker 4: of three. So I think Jaylen Brown pretty good. Derek
- 29:17Speaker 4: White is a guy that definitely of interested in because
- 29:19Speaker 4: the last time he faced off, gave out the the
- 29:22Speaker 4: Derek White Ladder made nine threes in that game went
- 29:24Speaker 4: for over sixty DK points. I think the matchup is
- 29:28Speaker 4: obviously very good. That's why I liked him that night.
- 29:30Speaker 4: But he's eight point six k now, very streaky three
- 29:33Speaker 4: point shooter. Is a very good chance he gets up
- 29:36Speaker 4: over ten threes tonight, I would imagine, and if he's hot,
- 29:39Speaker 4: could post somewhat of a similar performance that he had
- 29:42Speaker 4: that game. I don't think he's going for nine threes again,
- 29:44Speaker 4: but five to six is definitely within the range of
- 29:47Speaker 4: outcomes for him, So I do have interest him there.
- 29:50Speaker 4: But Brown is just so much better at thirteen hundred
- 29:54Speaker 4: dollars more and then Pritchard I don't think I'll get
- 29:56Speaker 4: too much of tonight. Just takes a really big usage
- 30:00Speaker 4: when he shares the core with all three of those guys.
- 30:02Speaker 4: So off of Richard Cata, I think he's fine as
- 30:06Speaker 4: like a last man in. I don't love anything about it.
- 30:09Speaker 4: I actually think that the matchup could call for a
- 30:12Speaker 4: little bit more Luca Garza where you need some more
- 30:14Speaker 4: floor spacing against Miami. So don't really I don't really
- 30:18Speaker 4: want to play Cato when I think that the minutes
- 30:20Speaker 4: could be limited. But Sam Houser is another guy I
- 30:23Speaker 4: think looks pretty solid. I prefer Larson at small forward
- 30:27Speaker 4: to Howser with the same price tag, but it's a
- 30:30Speaker 4: good matchup for three point shooters. Houser went five for
- 30:33Speaker 4: six from three the last time these teams faced off,
- 30:36Speaker 4: so definitely has some scoring upside.
- 30:39Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard on the Boston side.
- 30:41Speaker 2: I mean, I like Jalen Brown and Derek White, especially
- 30:43Speaker 2: when I am playing like a norm a BAM hero
- 30:47Speaker 2: something like that, because their ownership will be relatively low.
- 30:51Speaker 2: Second highest total on the slate. Jalen Brown Derek White
- 30:56Speaker 2: both have a good amount of upside, and again I
- 30:58Speaker 2: don't see myself like I like Jalen, I think more
- 31:00Speaker 2: than SGA, Kate and Giannis at their prices, Like, I
- 31:04Speaker 2: definitely want more of this mid tier build. I don't
- 31:06Speaker 2: want to dumpster dive for salary, and we don't even
- 31:09Speaker 2: have that many Q tags. Like the two most important
- 31:12Speaker 2: I think are probably on the Dallas stuff, which we
- 31:14Speaker 2: might not even get so I'm just gonna plan on
- 31:17Speaker 2: playing more mid tier builds tonight. Did you say rule
- 31:21Speaker 2: for Djoe Vich and Larson?
- 31:23Speaker 4: Uh No, I don't know if those guys are necessarily
- 31:26Speaker 4: the ones that against each other's minutes.
- 31:28Speaker 3: Have to think about this a little bit, but it feels.
- 31:30Speaker 4: Like more of a Max one or maybe like Max
- 31:35Speaker 4: to Yovic, Larsen and Wiggins.
- 31:38Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, what's going on? Dom good or don excuse me,
- 31:42Speaker 2: good to see you? And then south Side. Yeah, Southside's
- 31:46Speaker 2: been talking about like he had something that got hurt
- 31:48Speaker 2: in the first five minutes, Like would you switch? Obviously
- 31:51Speaker 2: you can't switch to players that are already playing in
- 31:55Speaker 2: the current game, but you do have late swap ability
- 31:57Speaker 2: in late games.
- 31:59Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:59Speaker 2: I mean if you like had Jalen Brunson yesterday who
- 32:01Speaker 2: got hurt right away, and you had five, you probably
- 32:04Speaker 2: have to swap off some chalk literally, I mean you're
- 32:07Speaker 2: probably dead anyway, but I guess you just hope some
- 32:10Speaker 2: other Chalky seventy percent guy or something gets hurt, gets ejected,
- 32:15Speaker 2: just has a really floor game. You have to do
- 32:17Speaker 2: something if you have four points or something and he
- 32:20Speaker 2: gets hurt or ejected and you have no chance to.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Get it back up.
- 32:22Speaker 2: You have to probably get off some chalk and get
- 32:24Speaker 2: different and you're still really really hoping. It's easier in
- 32:27Speaker 2: NFL when you can get like long touchdowns or projections
- 32:31Speaker 2: aren't as accurate because it's more like baseball. NFL touchdowns
- 32:37Speaker 2: mean a lot home runs, I mean a lot. It's
- 32:39Speaker 2: easier that way to catch up when you're down basketball
- 32:42Speaker 2: really hard. But yeah, I would still always look at
- 32:45Speaker 2: late swap. Sabersim does a great job helping out in
- 32:48Speaker 2: the late swap process. If you are a core, starter
- 32:51Speaker 2: or Ultimate, the higher package you have, the better it gets.
- 32:54Speaker 2: The Ultimate package you do get live ownership from Sabersim,
- 32:58Speaker 2: which is really awesome. You'd see some ownership here that
- 33:01Speaker 2: would say saber some live ownership. But yeah, you're able
- 33:04Speaker 2: to late swap anyway, So I hope that helps out.
- 33:08Speaker 2: I got really nothing more to talk about in this game.
- 33:10Speaker 2: Anything for you real as we'll keep it rolling. Uh yeah,
- 33:14Speaker 2: let's keep it rolling. My Milwaukee Bucks taking on the
- 33:18Speaker 2: San Antonio Spurs. Seven n half point favorites are the
- 33:21Speaker 2: Spurs two twenty four and a half total in this one.
- 33:24Speaker 2: Injuries on the Milwaukee side, Kyle Kuzma is questionable means
- 33:27Speaker 2: absolutely nothing, just kidding maybe a little bit on this slate,
- 33:30Speaker 2: but he has buns. As far as the Spurs side,
- 33:34Speaker 2: no injuries to talk about there. If you want to
- 33:36Speaker 2: talk about anything in terms like the Yannis and the
- 33:39Speaker 2: booing stuff, if you saw that, or I would love
- 33:42Speaker 2: to hear your your take on it. But otherwise, yeah,
- 33:44Speaker 2: what do you see in this game? Doesn't look like
- 33:46Speaker 2: too much ownership getting to it. More so on the
- 33:49Speaker 2: Spurs side though, outside of Yanni's.
- 33:51Speaker 3: I a should ask you how you feel about that.
- 33:52Speaker 4: I mean, your local fans booing Yannis and you saw
- 33:56Speaker 4: like the dunk where he put up like.
- 33:57Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, right after halftime. I mean, I couldn't
- 34:00Speaker 2: imagine ever booing Yiannis. I don't know if necessarily think
- 34:03Speaker 2: they were booing Yannis as much as just booing the
- 34:05Speaker 2: team down thirty walking out a half. But obviously he
- 34:09Speaker 2: takes he remembers all that stuff.
- 34:11Speaker 3: He takes it. But Janna should never be booed. Ever.
- 34:14Speaker 2: The city of Milwaukee literally just the city of Milwaukee
- 34:17Speaker 2: and the hotels, the restaurants. The deer like is way
- 34:21Speaker 2: better than it would have been if j honest never came.
- 34:24Speaker 2: So yeah, Jannis is the man. I hope he does
- 34:27Speaker 2: whatever makes him happy. But yeah, he's probably gone the
- 34:31Speaker 2: more and more the more the days go by.
- 34:32Speaker 3: It just feels that way to that point, though.
- 34:35Speaker 4: I was thoroughly surprised when I came out to your
- 34:39Speaker 4: wedding a few years ago and was staying in downtown
- 34:41Speaker 4: Milwaukee is actually really nice, some really cool dinners or
- 34:46Speaker 4: you know, place to eat out there.
- 34:47Speaker 2: If Jannest wasn't there like that, I mean it legit
- 34:51Speaker 2: would look so much different.
- 34:52Speaker 3: Yeah, he himself, it was crazy, it would.
- 34:56Speaker 2: I mean if you and if you go ten minutes
- 34:57Speaker 2: a wrong way, you're into a shithole. But yeah, the
- 35:00Speaker 2: nice part of Milwaukee, it's nice.
- 35:02Speaker 4: Well that was what my Uber driver was saying when
- 35:04Speaker 4: we went to the casino. Yeah yeah, but yeah, I
- 35:08Speaker 4: mean Giannis, for sure, it's done so much for for Milwaukee.
- 35:11Speaker 4: I couldn't imagine that they definitely weren't doing him. I
- 35:14Speaker 4: feel like it had to be just the team, like,
- 35:16Speaker 4: get this guy some help. His team is just it's
- 35:19Speaker 4: just such a bad supporting cast. I feel like they
- 35:22Speaker 4: got to get rid of Bobby Portis a lot of
- 35:25Speaker 4: there was like a I don't know if you follow
- 35:26Speaker 4: the or have seen the Twitter account, that's like, how
- 35:29Speaker 4: how many days until Bobby Portis is eligible to be traded? No,
- 35:32Speaker 4: I they had been posting that for like two or
- 35:34Speaker 4: three years. Now he seems likely. Yeah, they got to
- 35:38Speaker 4: do something. I think they have some pieces that they
- 35:40Speaker 4: can keep, Like I like the obviously Giannis, like KPJ,
- 35:44Speaker 4: Miles Turner is still a guy.
- 35:46Speaker 2: That ruined him Dame injury and stuff, Like I get it,
- 35:50Speaker 2: like Danny took a shot. The Kuzman everything they gave
- 35:53Speaker 2: up for that was just the the icing on the cake.
- 35:55Speaker 3: I mean that that set him back. Yeah, way too much.
- 35:58Speaker 4: You get rid of a Bucks like legend to get
- 36:01Speaker 4: fucking Kyle Kuzma, who hasn't been good since I don't
- 36:03Speaker 4: even know when, probably his second or third year in
- 36:07Speaker 4: a Lakers uniform.
- 36:08Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:09Speaker 4: But yeah, with all that being said, I do think
- 36:11Speaker 4: that this game is pretty interesting. Ownership is not two
- 36:14Speaker 4: out of hand, and there's a lot of star power
- 36:16Speaker 4: here on both sides.
- 36:17Speaker 3: Like I think Giannis and KPJ are really good. But
- 36:19Speaker 3: I like the idea of.
- 36:20Speaker 4: Going to Giannis just kind of like similar last time
- 36:24Speaker 4: to Camp Thomas. It feels just like a vibe play
- 36:26Speaker 4: where you know, getting booed at home, highly motivated after
- 36:30Speaker 4: the press conference, Like it just feels like a spot
- 36:31Speaker 4: where he could absolutely go off, put the entire team
- 36:34Speaker 4: on his back, and even Doc Rivers has said, like
- 36:36Speaker 4: he has to do everything for us. The thing that
- 36:39Speaker 4: was kind of interesting though, is he played thirty one
- 36:41Speaker 4: minutes last game, I believe, before getting before the blowout,
- 36:45Speaker 4: and there was about like seven or eight minutes left
- 36:48Speaker 4: in the game. He wasn't trending for forty, but it
- 36:51Speaker 4: was probably like thirty five thirty six if the game
- 36:53Speaker 4: was close. So you tell me we're getting potentially thirty
- 36:56Speaker 4: five thirty six six minutes from yanis now at eleven K,
- 36:59Speaker 4: where he normally priced at like twelve K, then I'm
- 37:02Speaker 4: definitely interested there. Obviously, the matchup is pretty tough, Spurs
- 37:05Speaker 4: have been really good defensively, but I think he also
- 37:08Speaker 4: likes playing against Wemby a lot. I think there's a
- 37:10Speaker 4: lot of similarities between the two for sure, obviously being
- 37:13Speaker 4: tall and just kind of freaky athletic and good ball handler.
- 37:17Speaker 4: But he's averaged sixty seven and a half points per
- 37:19Speaker 4: game against Wemby in three career matchup, scored no less
- 37:21Speaker 4: than fifty eight and a half. So he feels like
- 37:24Speaker 4: the best spend up option above ten K tonight by
- 37:26Speaker 4: a pretty wide margin for me and then for KPJ.
- 37:30Speaker 4: Just I think he's much better than Ryan Rollins right
- 37:32Speaker 4: now from a role perspective, and he's gonna play a
- 37:34Speaker 4: ton of minutes as well. But it's also a pretty
- 37:37Speaker 4: good matchup. But it looks a little bit tougher because
- 37:39Speaker 4: Sefan Castle is one of the better young guards in
- 37:42Speaker 4: the league defense wise, but the spurs Men give them
- 37:45Speaker 4: up really big games to point guards all year long.
- 37:47Speaker 4: They're bottom three and DVP versus point guards on the year,
- 37:50Speaker 4: allowing some of the most points per game. And he
- 37:52Speaker 4: can kind of do a lot of everything, like he
- 37:54Speaker 4: was didn't have the greatest stat line last night or
- 37:57Speaker 4: last game thirteen points for or for rebounds eight, but
- 38:01Speaker 4: he's a steals and blocks machine. Four steals, three steals
- 38:04Speaker 4: last game, four stocks three the game before that, five
- 38:07Speaker 4: the game before that, So it starts to get a
- 38:09Speaker 4: lot easier for him to reach a ceiling performance. And
- 38:12Speaker 4: then if you get one of the Knights where he
- 38:14Speaker 4: runs into a higher scoring night or gets like the
- 38:17Speaker 4: double double, then it's kind of a off to the
- 38:20Speaker 4: racist type thing for KPg, So I like him a
- 38:23Speaker 4: good bit behind Yiannis. Don't think I'm really considering much else,
- 38:27Speaker 4: Like Miles Turner probably in play just because he's so cheap,
- 38:31Speaker 4: but doesn't feel like a great fantasy option right now.
- 38:34Speaker 4: And then Kuzman news doesn't really do enough, like maybe
- 38:37Speaker 4: you get some more AJ Green. I don't know if
- 38:39Speaker 4: you're really considering him over Pelley Larson or Sam Houser
- 38:42Speaker 4: at that same price range. So it's pretty much just
- 38:45Speaker 4: KPJ or Yannis for me on Milwaukee, and then on
- 38:49Speaker 4: the Spurst side, I think that there's a lot to
- 38:50Speaker 4: like here as well, kind of similar to Yannis For Wemby,
- 38:54Speaker 4: he played twenty eight minutes last game. Has been very
- 38:57Speaker 4: limited since returning from the injury, but I missed the
- 39:00Speaker 4: last two minutes due to blowout, so he was trending
- 39:02Speaker 4: for thirty in that one. You're telling me you're getting
- 39:04Speaker 4: a guy that averages basically one point seventy five Fantasy
- 39:07Speaker 4: points per minute playing around thirty minutes sub ten K
- 39:11Speaker 4: in a matchup versus a very struggling Milwaukee defense. I
- 39:14Speaker 4: definitely have interested there, and the same goes for Darren
- 39:16Speaker 4: Fox and Sefon Castle. I much prefer Castle because it
- 39:20Speaker 4: seems like Fox is the playing third fiddle to Wemby
- 39:23Speaker 4: and Sefon Castle, like his usage rate plummets while sharing
- 39:27Speaker 4: the court with those guys, and Sefon Castle does see
- 39:29Speaker 4: a slightly dip in his usage rates, but he provides
- 39:32Speaker 4: more assists. He has a higher sis percentage than Fox,
- 39:36Speaker 4: way better rebounder, and I just like the match up
- 39:40Speaker 4: little bit better for Castle in general, really good price tag,
- 39:42Speaker 4: so I'm interested in Castle and Wemby on the Spurs side.
- 39:46Speaker 4: Don't think I want to play Fox and Castle together,
- 39:48Speaker 4: so I think that there's you definitely can play Fox.
- 39:51Speaker 4: I expect pretty heavy minutes from these guys, and then
- 39:54Speaker 4: Champagnee continues to play well, continue to play a lot
- 39:56Speaker 4: of minutes. Bucks are a pretty big three point final rebounders.
- 40:00Speaker 4: I have interest in him as well. I think that's
- 40:03Speaker 4: it for the Spurs too, though. I really like this
- 40:05Speaker 4: game though.
- 40:05Speaker 3: All around. I think it's pretty good.
- 40:07Speaker 2: Yeah, and I was just look messing around with like
- 40:10Speaker 2: Giannis and Wemby builds. It's definitely doable on this slate,
- 40:14Speaker 2: so I wouldn't hate that. I mean, if you do
- 40:17Speaker 2: like they kind of correlate to an extent of your saying,
- 40:19Speaker 2: like they both lost little minutes do to blow out
- 40:22Speaker 2: and stuff. If this game does stay competitive and they
- 40:24Speaker 2: hit their full minute ceiling, you could definitely see see
- 40:28Speaker 2: those two optimal together. So I don't hate that one bit.
- 40:30Speaker 2: I do think Wemby is my favorite spend up if
- 40:33Speaker 2: having to choose on this late though, with the ownership
- 40:35Speaker 2: or with the price discounts off of Jannis a little bit,
- 40:38Speaker 2: definitely prefer them over SGA and Kate excuse me and
- 40:42Speaker 2: Kid then yeah, Jaylen Brown I think and him are
- 40:45Speaker 2: pretty close. I don't know how many pieces though, I
- 40:48Speaker 2: really want the game because, like you said, outside of
- 40:50Speaker 2: Yanni's KPJ, it doesn't feel too great. I can get
- 40:54Speaker 2: to a little more on the Spurs side, but still
- 40:56Speaker 2: I don't see myself really having three Spurs on any team.
- 40:59Speaker 4: So no, I like the idea of like a minisect
- 41:02Speaker 4: though maybe like you definitely could get to Wemby and Giannis,
- 41:05Speaker 4: but it feels better going like Jiannis and Castle or
- 41:08Speaker 4: Wemby and KPJ or something like that.
- 41:10Speaker 3: I feel like those prices are very similar.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Yeah, and I guess the more you play this game,
- 41:16Speaker 2: tour can stack it up. Like you are waiting a
- 41:19Speaker 2: little bit closer to the Dallas news that we might get.
- 41:22Speaker 2: We're gonna touch on that game. But there is two
- 41:24Speaker 2: Q tags with Gafford and PJ. Washington that's pretty interesting
- 41:30Speaker 2: without obviously a d still out flag and Christy. So
- 41:34Speaker 2: the more you backload, the more you can wait for
- 41:36Speaker 2: that news, A little bit more value could even open up,
- 41:39Speaker 2: and that could make fitting Gi Honest and Wemby even
- 41:42Speaker 2: easier that way. But yeah, I like it. I like
- 41:44Speaker 2: the studs in this game mainly. All right, we'll keep
- 41:48Speaker 2: it rolling. We got three hundred watching. Appreciate everyone hanging out.
- 41:50Speaker 2: I hope your day is going well. All we ask
- 41:53Speaker 2: is like button subscribe, button helps just helps us out
- 41:55Speaker 2: a ton bringing you shows on this channel pretty much
- 41:58Speaker 2: every single day. I mean, if you do want to
- 42:00Speaker 2: join us at the nation, great time to join the PGA.
- 42:03Speaker 2: Just starting back up. The best PGA content, the industry, projections, ownership,
- 42:07Speaker 2: the stone slate plan, course, fit rankings, value report, you
- 42:11Speaker 2: name it, we got it, of course, NBA, NHL is
- 42:14Speaker 2: still going college football on Monday, NFL this weekend. We
- 42:18Speaker 2: do have daily pass, but I believe if you want
- 42:20Speaker 2: to give us a try, the best way to do
- 42:21Speaker 2: so is that five days for nineteen dollars you see above,
- 42:24Speaker 2: using the coach Chip, nineteen others just typingshipinnation dot com.
- 42:28Speaker 2: It'll say join in the nation and you can click
- 42:30Speaker 2: any of the packages you want. You do get sabersim,
- 42:33Speaker 2: the Discord, and again all access to all sports with the.
- 42:36Speaker 3: Five days for nineteen dollars trial. That's an interesting question.
- 42:41Speaker 2: Goodwin or Larsen obviously different positions, but I think pretty
- 42:46Speaker 2: two guys you had interested in.
- 42:47Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Goodwin. I was gonna say Goodwin too.
- 42:52Speaker 2: I like the sun the sun Spot, Yeah, no, Booker,
- 42:55Speaker 2: there's a lot of and they play team ball like
- 42:57Speaker 2: a Goodwin Giles B.
- 42:58Speaker 3: Brooks. I like a lot of sun stuff.
- 43:01Speaker 2: All right, Last game of the nights well it's actually
- 43:04Speaker 2: the last game of the slate, but there is night
- 43:06Speaker 2: games that we will have showdown content and stuff for.
- 43:09Speaker 2: But last game of the main slate the Dallas Mavericks
- 43:11Speaker 2: and the Utah Jazz three in that point, favorites are
- 43:14Speaker 2: the MAVs, two thirty seven and a half total in
- 43:16Speaker 2: this one. I just talked about the injuries for Dallas.
- 43:18Speaker 2: No Ad, no Max, Chris or Christy's doubtful, Cooper Flagg's doubtful.
- 43:24Speaker 3: PJ.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Washington and Gafford are both questionable, So definitely some injury
- 43:28Speaker 2: news to monitor in this one.
- 43:29Speaker 3: It is the last game of the slate, though, so
- 43:31Speaker 3: who knows how much wiggle room you'll have.
- 43:33Speaker 2: And going to the other side for Rio's Utah Jazz,
- 43:37Speaker 2: we are looking at fully healthy.
- 43:40Speaker 3: Am I seeing that? Right?
- 43:41Speaker 1: Lord?
- 43:43Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 43:43Speaker 2: No Lori, but no questionable tags in this one, biggest
- 43:46Speaker 2: total on the slate. No Lori beat upside or beat
- 43:49Speaker 2: up Dallas team. You can see a whole lot of
- 43:51Speaker 2: ownership going to this game, and rightfully so. Do you
- 43:54Speaker 2: have any lean on the Gafford PJQ tags before you
- 43:57Speaker 2: get into it.
- 43:59Speaker 4: PJ I feel like more likely to play than Gafford.
- 44:01Speaker 4: Gafford did roll up his ankle as well last game
- 44:04Speaker 4: and missed I don't even know he missed most of
- 44:07Speaker 4: the games. I feel like him being out is very likely.
- 44:11Speaker 4: You also got Jeremiah Robinson Earl signed a ten day
- 44:15Speaker 4: I feel like that is kind of telling of somebody
- 44:16Speaker 4: that might even miss multiple games. I don't really know,
- 44:19Speaker 4: but I feel like Gafford probably gonna miss. We'll also
- 44:23Speaker 4: know like once.
- 44:24Speaker 3: I feel like.
- 44:24Speaker 4: Another sign for Gafford being out would be if Musasis
- 44:29Speaker 4: is active. I'm not sure if they would do that
- 44:31Speaker 4: before starters come out, but if he's active, then I
- 44:34Speaker 4: would almost guarantee that Gafford misses tonight.
- 44:39Speaker 3: Then Yep, good info.
- 44:41Speaker 4: Yeah, so we've you've got to talk about my guy,
- 44:44Speaker 4: Brice Sensabag going off for forty three points last night.
- 44:48Speaker 4: But I mean that was an incredible performance. Nothing was
- 44:52Speaker 4: I must have been in bed.
- 44:53Speaker 3: I didn't.
- 44:53Speaker 2: I didn't wake up with a bright sense of bad notification.
- 44:56Speaker 2: But forty three points, forty three real.
- 44:58Speaker 3: Ones, forty three real ones.
- 44:59Speaker 4: See had like twenty. He had the most points in
- 45:02Speaker 4: a first quarter all season long, and like the most
- 45:05Speaker 4: in the last few years.
- 45:06Speaker 3: I believe. Yeah, I mean that, How did he do it?
- 45:10Speaker 1: Was he?
- 45:11Speaker 3: I mean? Was he just he was on one? Was
- 45:12Speaker 3: he hitting threes? Was he in his own bag getting
- 45:15Speaker 3: his own shots like he did? He did it all?
- 45:17Speaker 3: I take it to get everything. Yeah, he was he
- 45:19Speaker 3: was cooking.
- 45:20Speaker 4: He was just he was knocking down threes over people
- 45:22Speaker 4: with taking guys off the dribble, hitting floaters like it
- 45:24Speaker 4: was honestly a masterpiece.
- 45:27Speaker 3: I enjoyed watching that, but did not have any tim
- 45:30Speaker 3: for a Baja.
- 45:32Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, I like him a lot. There's yeah,
- 45:35Speaker 4: I think he's got He's definitely has a role on
- 45:37Speaker 4: the team once we once we finished the rebuild, I
- 45:40Speaker 4: think he'll be in there.
- 45:42Speaker 2: I totally missed it. Forty three real real ones though,
- 45:45Speaker 2: shout out to anyone that can do that, let alone
- 45:47Speaker 2: a guy that is still right now is projected.
- 45:50Speaker 3: For very little ownership off the bench too, which was
- 45:53Speaker 3: the coolest thing. But yeah, there's.
- 45:55Speaker 4: Definitely a ton going on here injury wise, matchup wise,
- 45:59Speaker 4: I think it's really good. I don't really think it's
- 46:01Speaker 4: worth getting into the matchups because these two teams are
- 46:03Speaker 4: going to be really bad.
- 46:04Speaker 3: Like PJ.
- 46:05Speaker 4: Washington is the last line of defense for Dallas right now,
- 46:09Speaker 4: you take him out like it's they have nobody that
- 46:12Speaker 4: can play defense on this team.
- 46:15Speaker 3: So with Gafford out.
- 46:17Speaker 4: I want to talk through this real quickly because I
- 46:18Speaker 4: think this is the most important thing. But Gafford out,
- 46:22Speaker 4: I would see Derek light or sorry, Dwight Powell as
- 46:26Speaker 4: the projected starter. I feel like if with him starting
- 46:30Speaker 4: Mussa cis feels like the Jannick Niederhauser of last night,
- 46:33Speaker 4: Like it just feels like such a better spot for
- 46:35Speaker 4: him as a younger player, more athletic. Dwight Powell started
- 46:39Speaker 4: against Brooklyn, played thirty five minutes in that game. But
- 46:42Speaker 4: if anybody was watching that one, like towards the end
- 46:44Speaker 4: of the game, he was just hunched over like either injured, tired,
- 46:47Speaker 4: or cramping or all three, but he was. I don't
- 46:49Speaker 4: think he's capable of playing that many minutes again, Like
- 46:52Speaker 4: this is his last year in the leagues. Maybe they
- 46:54Speaker 4: just wanted to get him minutes or something. But I
- 46:56Speaker 4: feel like this feels like a spot where you can
- 46:58Speaker 4: get more CSA behind Dwyight Palace.
- 47:01Speaker 3: I'm gonna be doing that again.
- 47:04Speaker 4: As for the rest of the guys, though, how I'm
- 47:06Speaker 4: prioritizing it, Brandon Williams feels like, honestly like a lock
- 47:10Speaker 4: to me. I think he's gonna get a massive role.
- 47:13Speaker 4: Last game when Flag rolled his ankle and missed the
- 47:15Speaker 4: second half, Brandon Williams was the guy.
- 47:17Speaker 3: That picked up all the role.
- 47:19Speaker 4: Basically he had thirty two percent drate, fourteen drives, four
- 47:22Speaker 4: point three minutes a touch time. Great matchup versus Utah,
- 47:25Speaker 4: who he already killed just a few games ago. For
- 47:29Speaker 4: what do you do? I actually only play nine minutes
- 47:31Speaker 4: in that one, but I was pretty high in him.
- 47:32Speaker 4: But yeah, I think he's an excellent option to I
- 47:36Speaker 4: definitely a guy I'm starting my lineups with, and then
- 47:39Speaker 4: it gets a little It's not tricky, but you kind
- 47:41Speaker 4: of have to think through it a little bit more.
- 47:43Speaker 4: Naji Marshall is no longer very cheap, but he is
- 47:47Speaker 4: also going to pick up a huge role. Also was
- 47:49Speaker 4: picking up a lot of ball handling while sharing the
- 47:52Speaker 4: core with Cooper Flag, recently second on the team in
- 47:54Speaker 4: drives last game. I think he feels pretty safe. I
- 47:57Speaker 4: like him a lot. Is a guy that would be
- 48:01Speaker 4: a little cautious on just with the back to back
- 48:03Speaker 4: questionable tag. Obviously, if he plays, he's probably playing. I
- 48:08Speaker 4: would say thirty one minutes again, that's probably enough in
- 48:11Speaker 4: this matchup to get there. But he was definitely rusty
- 48:14Speaker 4: over three from the field or from three point range
- 48:16Speaker 4: last game, losing ball handling to Naji Marshall and Brandon Williams.
- 48:20Speaker 4: I would just rather go to Brandon Williams and Nause personally.
- 48:25Speaker 4: You can always play the leverage game off Brandon Williams
- 48:27Speaker 4: with Ryan Demhard He's definitely gonna be out there for
- 48:30Speaker 4: some minutes. He's projecting for like no ownership. Obviously a
- 48:34Speaker 4: great matchup. He already went off against Utah for like
- 48:36Speaker 4: fifty earlier this season. He had thirty eight double double
- 48:40Speaker 4: in that one. I like Kay Thompson a lot, though
- 48:42Speaker 4: I feel gross to say, but this is definitely the
- 48:44Speaker 4: matchup where you want to play Clay a lot with
- 48:48Speaker 4: Max Christy dubtfol he should slide into that main off
- 48:51Speaker 4: ball scoring option, the catch a shoe guy. He's got
- 48:55Speaker 4: a ton of three point upside here. He's averaging twenty
- 48:57Speaker 4: seven point one draftings points per game again the Jazz
- 49:00Speaker 4: over the last two season, and has made nearly five
- 49:02Speaker 4: threes per game against them. So I see him as
- 49:05Speaker 4: a guy with a ton of upside at four point
- 49:07Speaker 4: six K. I like Clay a Ton and then Jayden
- 49:09Speaker 4: Hardy last guy to mension should continue to start alongside
- 49:13Speaker 4: either right heart of Brandon Williams.
- 49:16Speaker 3: Not sure. I don't know.
- 49:17Speaker 4: The upside on him has been kind of tough to
- 49:19Speaker 4: come by. I think you can definitely get away from him.
- 49:23Speaker 4: But with that being said, it's a really good matchup.
- 49:25Speaker 4: Guards have been killing the Jazz all year long, so
- 49:27Speaker 4: I don't really want to say too much negatively about him,
- 49:29Speaker 4: but I think that there are ways you could get
- 49:32Speaker 4: away from Jaydan Hardy. It feels like, I don't know,
- 49:35Speaker 4: I feel like you could play hard and Brandon Williams
- 49:38Speaker 4: alongside of each other and get Hardy off the court,
- 49:40Speaker 4: like Nemahart more of your prototypical point guard. Brandon Williams
- 49:43Speaker 4: kind of like a combo one to two guard. So
- 49:46Speaker 4: I would definitely max two of those three and then
- 49:49Speaker 4: maybe give nem Haart a pretty meaningful boost to get
- 49:52Speaker 4: away from Hardy a little bit. Do you have any
- 49:54Speaker 4: thoughts there on the Dallas stuff?
- 49:56Speaker 2: I was gonna mainly ask I don't have any thoughts
- 49:58Speaker 2: on the backcourt league, But with PJ questionable and it
- 50:02Speaker 2: being the last game of the night, like he projects
- 50:05Speaker 2: really well for his price, no Gafford like you're almost expecting,
- 50:09Speaker 2: could make him even better if he does play.
- 50:11Speaker 3: You do have.
- 50:12Speaker 2: Naji Marshall one hundred more, which I mean is an
- 50:15Speaker 2: easy pivot if you both got him at four and stuff,
- 50:17Speaker 2: but plenty of lineups will have both of them together.
- 50:20Speaker 2: So how do you go about in MM stuff like
- 50:24Speaker 2: with with PJ, Like when you play him, Like, how
- 50:27Speaker 2: are you looking through the thirty eight teams that you
- 50:29Speaker 2: have for M and me?
- 50:30Speaker 3: And then I mean you're kind of.
- 50:32Speaker 2: Shit out of luck, it feels like because if you
- 50:34Speaker 2: go to the other side, obviously, if we get the
- 50:36Speaker 2: news before the Bucks Spurs game, like I'm never going
- 50:40Speaker 2: to count on it the thirty minute window.
- 50:42Speaker 3: If you get it one minute before, you're kind of
- 50:43Speaker 3: screwed there.
- 50:44Speaker 2: But yeah, like I've not seen too many direct pivots
- 50:47Speaker 2: on the other side.
- 50:49Speaker 3: Well, you got phili Kowski and Sensible for so.
- 50:52Speaker 2: You're just finally you're finally leaving the money and like
- 50:56Speaker 2: because you drop sense about PJ projection, that's eight and
- 50:59Speaker 2: then flip Kowski, I mean you're at another eight that
- 51:03Speaker 2: just you just gotta do it.
- 51:05Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you have to. There's nothing nothing else
- 51:07Speaker 3: to do.
- 51:08Speaker 2: Really, So does that mean you're more likely not like
- 51:11Speaker 2: to bump PJ down or not played as much?
- 51:13Speaker 3: Like is that risk worth it?
- 51:14Speaker 2: Or do you have a decently strong feeling stance that
- 51:17Speaker 2: he's gonna play.
- 51:18Speaker 3: Because I don't love drop.
- 51:20Speaker 2: I don't love leaving eight projection points on the last,
- 51:22Speaker 2: Like you're giving up a decent bit of first place
- 51:24Speaker 2: equity for sure.
- 51:26Speaker 3: Well if you damn.
- 51:30Speaker 4: I did not really think about it too much leading
- 51:32Speaker 4: into the slate, But you know what, I'm trying to
- 51:37Speaker 4: think that you'd have to set like some sort of
- 51:38Speaker 4: rule like if PJ, then at least like two or
- 51:42Speaker 4: three of guys from this game to get give yourself
- 51:44Speaker 4: a little bit more swappability, like maybe that allows you
- 51:47Speaker 4: to get up to Keyante off of somebody else something
- 51:50Speaker 4: like that, or like nurkic, is it too.
- 51:53Speaker 2: Much to just group away PJ and Nausey Obviously that's
- 51:57Speaker 2: what I was thinking too, but would be strong plays
- 51:59Speaker 2: for together.
- 52:01Speaker 4: You'd have to just like start with all the naugy
- 52:04Speaker 4: and then like maybe you just x out PJ and
- 52:07Speaker 4: start with all nausey and.
- 52:08Speaker 3: Then that allows you to bring him back in when
- 52:11Speaker 3: he does get rolled in.
- 52:12Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Yeah, I just something I'm not good
- 52:15Speaker 2: at at all in MMME stuff really easy and single entry.
- 52:19Speaker 2: You just always have a plan if you're only playing
- 52:21Speaker 2: a few teams. If then scenarios and stuff, But yeah,
- 52:24Speaker 2: I had nothing on your back court stuff though. I mean,
- 52:27Speaker 2: I think Hardy strong. I think Brandon Williams is strong.
- 52:30Speaker 2: There's so much value on the Dallas stuff, Like if
- 52:32Speaker 2: you want to play Wembying, honest, it's pretty easy to
- 52:34Speaker 2: do so because you can fill it out with Dallas
- 52:37Speaker 2: and Phoenix pieces.
- 52:40Speaker 4: That's a strong take. You don't think he's going for
- 52:42Speaker 4: forty three again.
- 52:45Speaker 2: Zero percent. Never say zero though, but yeah, that you're
- 52:49Speaker 2: probably right. I assume this prop is very low.
- 52:52Speaker 3: Probably.
- 52:53Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to touch on the Utah stuff. So
- 52:56Speaker 4: they're pretty tough to break down because until we know
- 52:59Speaker 4: the starting lineup, then we don't really know what they're
- 53:01Speaker 4: gonna do with the rotation. I think that if you
- 53:04Speaker 4: get Nurkic starting, then obviously he's playing. But if he's
- 53:08Speaker 4: off the bench like it was last night, like him
- 53:11Speaker 4: and Savie are the two guys. If they're not starting,
- 53:13Speaker 4: they're not playing at all. So just keep an eye
- 53:15Speaker 4: on those guys. But I do think that Ace Bailey
- 53:18Speaker 4: pretty safe now back in the starting LINEA played thirty
- 53:20Speaker 4: minutes last game, had a couple highlight plays.
- 53:24Speaker 3: Don't mind going to him.
- 53:25Speaker 4: I mean, he's kind of just like a low permanent
- 53:27Speaker 4: guy right now, so it's tough to find ceiling from him. Sensible,
- 53:32Speaker 4: I'd be okay going back to just kind of riding
- 53:34Speaker 4: the hot hand. I think Isaiah Collier might be might
- 53:38Speaker 4: be losing some minutes to Walter Clayton, So definitely pair
- 53:42Speaker 4: those guys away from each other if you're considering them.
- 53:45Speaker 4: And then with Kevin love Back probably kicks out Kylie
- 53:48Speaker 4: Anderson out of the rotation, so don't I don't think
- 53:51Speaker 4: I would be playing him, And then Cody Williams should
- 53:53Speaker 4: continue to start the same thing though with Ace, like
- 53:56Speaker 4: he's just such a low permanent guy. It's really just
- 53:58Speaker 4: considering Keyante and Nurkic as like the one A options
- 54:03Speaker 4: and then or like the eightier options, and then it's
- 54:05Speaker 4: a pretty big drop off to Philipowski sense of ba Ace,
- 54:11Speaker 4: and that's probably it.
- 54:14Speaker 3: Do you have any you're the utah idea.
- 54:16Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you don't know the coach or like
- 54:18Speaker 2: you're friends with them or something, so, but you watch
- 54:21Speaker 2: the team a lot and follow it, Alena, And like
- 54:23Speaker 2: the Nurkic situation, it feels weird that they would do
- 54:25Speaker 2: it to him two nights in a row.
- 54:27Speaker 3: But you think you think that's fifty to fifty.
- 54:30Speaker 4: Yeah, they I mean no, none the reporters even asked
- 54:33Speaker 4: them about it, which is like, I know, it just
- 54:35Speaker 4: feels like a designated tank spot.
- 54:38Speaker 3: Like it's just pretty clear what they were doing. I
- 54:40Speaker 3: think that.
- 54:41Speaker 4: I mean, even they almost won the game, so it
- 54:42Speaker 4: was a little they almost almost screwed up. But like
- 54:45Speaker 4: this is another game that they would be happy losing.
- 54:51Speaker 2: I mean every game, damn near they're happy losing for sure, Yeah,
- 54:54Speaker 2: for sure.
- 54:54Speaker 4: But I mean the the Mavericks are right there kind
- 54:56Speaker 4: of neck and neck with them in the standings, but
- 55:00Speaker 4: like they're doing a good job of like the tanking
- 55:03Speaker 4: has been different this year. Like they're playing competitive, really
- 55:06Speaker 4: fun game environment games and then losing at the end.
- 55:09Speaker 3: That's kind of what you want, for sure. Yeah, you
- 55:12Speaker 3: don't want it to be obvious.
- 55:13Speaker 2: You want to be competitive ish and then just lose
- 55:16Speaker 2: them it's all said and done.
- 55:17Speaker 3: Man, that's tough.
- 55:18Speaker 2: That's two pieces in this last game, Nurkic and PJ
- 55:22Speaker 2: Washington that are I mean, if we knew that they
- 55:24Speaker 2: were both in starting normal very strong.
- 55:27Speaker 3: PJ can only get stronger without Gafford. But if we
- 55:31Speaker 3: don't get this news.
- 55:32Speaker 2: And again, hopefully we only have one a PM Eastern
- 55:34Speaker 2: game though, so it's not like you have too much
- 55:37Speaker 2: swappability if we get it after that that seven thirty window.
- 55:40Speaker 2: But man, that's too strong plays in Nurkic and PJ.
- 55:43Speaker 2: That I mean, you just might not be able to
- 55:46Speaker 2: play when it's all said and done. So really think
- 55:48Speaker 2: about when you are playing them, especially in your single entries,
- 55:51Speaker 2: but in your MM.
- 55:52Speaker 3: Builds, maybe just look at what those look like.
- 55:55Speaker 2: Very easy if you are playing PJ and no Nagy,
- 55:58Speaker 2: I would leave one hundred bucks, that's a very easy
- 56:00Speaker 2: way to get up.
- 56:01Speaker 3: And you're not sacrificing anything.
- 56:04Speaker 2: But if you play nause and PJ or obviously they
- 56:08Speaker 2: know NRK stuff, just pretend it is like yesterday, Like
- 56:10Speaker 2: philip Kowski becomes super strong, and then maybe that eight
- 56:14Speaker 2: points and projection difference isn't the same. Maybe it's a
- 56:17Speaker 2: lot closer there and easier to leave money from PJ
- 56:20Speaker 2: to plip Kowski.
- 56:21Speaker 4: But he was projected for like I think he projected
- 56:24Speaker 4: better than Nurkic. After all was said and done. Philkowski
- 56:27Speaker 4: was so.
- 56:29Speaker 3: Parlaying.
- 56:30Speaker 2: You're still parlaying two things. Unfortunately, like to happen.
- 56:35Speaker 4: I think you would have to do like if you're
- 56:37Speaker 4: playing if you're playing Nurkic, you want to pair him
- 56:40Speaker 4: with like two value plays on the Dallas side. That
- 56:44Speaker 4: would be like Brandon Williams and Jade Hardy or like
- 56:47Speaker 4: Dwight Powell, something like that, and then because that would
- 56:50Speaker 4: allow you to get to the more mid range guys
- 56:52Speaker 4: if he does get ruled out, Yeah.
- 56:54Speaker 3: That makes sense.
- 56:57Speaker 2: I got really nothing. I'm not sure what. Only Christy
- 57:00Speaker 2: has something serious enough to room.
- 57:02Speaker 3: Doubtful.
- 57:04Speaker 2: Caleb Martin. If people sit the Martin brothers Nevada, I haven't.
- 57:08Speaker 2: We haven't talked about Caleb or Cody in a long time.
- 57:12Speaker 4: Well he was, We're talking about Nico whatever his name
- 57:16Speaker 4: of the GM. That was another awful trade by him.
- 57:19Speaker 4: He traded Caleb for Quinton Grimes.
- 57:23Speaker 3: Yeah that's yeah, Uh yeah.
- 57:26Speaker 4: I mean he's projected for minutes, so definitely the more
- 57:28Speaker 4: people you take out, the better he's gonna look. It
- 57:31Speaker 4: would definitely like if Pj's out, don't I don't know
- 57:33Speaker 4: if they're going to be starting Caleb, but he would
- 57:35Speaker 4: definitely fill in a lot of those wing minutes. They
- 57:37Speaker 4: probably they probably go to Clay I think if PJ
- 57:40Speaker 4: were to sit.
- 57:43Speaker 3: Okay, I got really nothing else.
- 57:46Speaker 2: I just want to show for all those that are watching,
