  What's going on and everyone, Welcome to the ship at Nation. NBA Quick
• 0:15
  Hit video January fourth, covering the two game NBA slates, a small,
• 0:20
  little two game slate. Prize pools always big, there's no doubt about it.
• 0:25
  So that's why we're here kind of covering it just two games. As
• 0:28
  you can see, we have the Box and the Spurs two forty eight total
• 0:31
  Milwaukee favored by ten and a half in that one, and then the Nuggets
• 0:34
  and the Warriors two thirty five total Denver favored by three and a half in
• 0:40
  that game. As you can see here, we're screen sharing with the Solver
• 0:44
  and we have the our Ship a Nation projections loaded in here. If you
• 0:48
  remember at Ship a Nation and you go through our link and get the solver,
• 0:53
  our projections come pre loaded in here every day for your use. In
• 0:59
  terms of this, Yeah, it's you know, two games late. You
• 1:02
  know a lot of fantasy options. So we're going to kind of go through
• 1:04
  position by position see what stands out from a projection standpoint on the slate.
• 1:10
  As always, appreciate the support, really appreciate if you could hit the like
• 1:14
  and subscribe on this video. Helps us out a ton so at the point
• 1:17
  guard position. We have it just sorted here by value. One other things.
• 1:22
  Well, not a ton of injury news. There's not much that we're
• 1:25
  waiting. The kind of already have everything, which is obviously nice for a
• 1:29
  two games slate does start at seven to thirty Eastern, but most of the
• 1:33
  news already out come in here have everything sorted by value. As you can
• 1:38
  see here you have Damian Lillard's going to a lot of these Bucks guys are
• 1:41
  going to show up because man, they're projected to score what is it,
• 1:45
  one hundred and thirty real life points. That's a big boy number. So
• 1:48
  they have lowered up top. And then we have the Spurs guys. So
• 1:51
  I think as we go through, we'll see it's going to be a lot
• 1:53
  of Spurs in Bucks. You know, maybe if you look to load up
• 1:56
  on that later game you get a little bit different. But you have Dame
• 1:59
  up here. We have Trey Jones fifty one hundred, Devin Vassel, who
• 2:04
  you can play at point guard or shooting guard sixty seven hundred, and then
• 2:07
  you have Stephen Curry Jamal Murray. You know, the issue with with Steph
• 2:14
  is we just haven't seen a lot of these the fifty eighths. We've seen
• 2:16
  forties, we see you know, some thirties. Just not the same player
• 2:21
  as in the past seasons in terms of fantasy production. Sam can be said
• 2:24
  about Lillard, but the spot here against the Spurs could lead to a really,
• 2:29
  really big game. Jamal Murray was on a very nice stretch and still
• 2:34
  you look at it, forty one, fifty seven, fifty forty three kind
• 2:38
  of like him, you know, eight K. Now the price is up
• 2:39
  a little bit, people might be off of him, but these are the
• 2:43
  guys that are kind of standing out for us at the point guard position.
• 2:46
  Go over. Shooting guard drops off quick. A lot of good point guards
• 2:49
  on the slate, not many shooting guards, and that's what kind of what
• 2:51
  you typically see. The point guards and centers on DK always have lower price
• 2:54
  tags showing up as better values. You get to these other positions and there's
• 2:59
  just not much Vassal sixty seven. So if you are playing Devin Vassel,
• 3:02
  I'd definitely prefer him in the shooting guard spot opposed to point guard. Have
• 3:07
  Steph Curry nine K, Chris Middleton all the way up to seven six.
• 3:12
  The minutes are you know, creeping up though, a little bit, don't
• 3:15
  mind getting some exposure him should be pretty low and we're showing six percent on
• 3:19
  him. Klay Thompson fifty nine hundred has not been a good season. The
• 3:23
  minutes are way down. Definitely a risk gear type plays head on over to
• 3:30
  small forward, so fine, and then it falls off even deeper. Do
• 3:31
  you see we have Kelvin Johnson as our top value sixty nine hundred. What's
• 3:36
  he been up too lately? Decent production, but at sixty nine you really
• 3:39
  want someone to get mid thirties thirty five? Can you get there? Yeah?
• 3:44
  There is clearly blowout risk too. I mean the Spurs are ten and
• 3:47
  a half point underdogs. Michael Porter Junior with nice stretch of games, I
• 3:53
  think he's a fine option. You've got thirty five in there, the forty
• 3:57
  four only six to six. Yeah, we canine play him there. And
• 4:00
  then it's some of the other guys. We talk about Middleton and Klay Thompson,
• 4:03
  but you know you're going to see these Spurs and Bucks guys kind of
• 4:10
  show up everywhere you look. You have Giannis at twelve k the premiere spend
• 4:13
  on the slates. We have enough value to get to them honestly, it's
• 4:16
  probably pretty difficult. You know, let's just see, you know, we'll
• 4:18
  just do this here and there. Let's go ahead, let's just run ten
• 4:21
  teams. We're not going to change anything, and let's just see how much
• 4:25
  Giannis we get ten teams optimized. Let's see. Yeah, kind of as
• 4:31
  a suspected Gianna's showing up in only two. So there's not a ton of
• 4:34
  value on this slate, which makes it difficult. You see, all these
• 4:36
  Spurs guys show up at a very high rate. Trey Jones one hundred percent,
• 4:41
  Vassal and all ton of those teams, Calton Johnson eight, Jeremy Seawan
• 4:46
  showing up at so can I'm sorry, Jeremy show Can showing up at eight
• 4:49
  out of ten of those teams. So yeah, not getting a lot of
• 4:53
  Giannis if you naturally run it. Are projects showing him at thirty five percent
• 4:57
  owned. Yeah, you know, Victor when Bendyana the minutes man two twenty
• 5:03
  four to twenty four to twenty four to twenty six, somewhat concerning, He's
• 5:05
  got to do a lot in a hurry to kind of get there. Kelvin
• 5:10
  Johnson, we talked about Jeremy so Cam we talked about, fine option.
• 5:13
  He's shown up in a lot of teams here just because man, these five
• 5:15
  K price tags become valuable. How much Aaron Gordon we get got sixty percent
• 5:19
  Aaron Gordon because five K is the best value out there, Like there's not
• 5:24
  much below that. So these guys are going to show up in a lot
• 5:27
  of teams and should be pretty popular tonight. Yeah, Aaron Gordon showing thirty
• 5:30
  eight, thirty nine percent center. Same thing with Jokic that we just talked
• 5:36
  about with Giannis, can you get to him? Let's see how many times
• 5:40
  he showed up in our teams and he showed up in zero So I think
• 5:43
  the ownership on Jokic, Yeah, fourteen percent for a guy that can just
• 5:46
  absolutely nuke the slate, Like how do you get there? Though? Because
• 5:50
  man, these value players are rough. You probably got to take a chance
• 5:54
  on some of these spurs cheap guys. I hope it's a blowout and that's
• 5:59
  probably the rock to play some of these uh higher price guys. Brook lope
• 6:03
  az I bet probably shows up in a decent bit here. I actually know
• 6:06
  he didn't because of the center eligibility. So they're just going to like other
• 6:11
  guys at at center is my guess, you're honest, he doesn't show up,
• 6:16
  we'll see who's filling our center spot. Okay, okay, interesting,
• 6:24
  so okay, Yeah, So that's kind of where we're at. It's gonna
• 6:26
  be tough to get to these studs. Jannis thirty five. I bet it's
• 6:29
  lower than that. Nicole Jokic fourteen percent. Yeah, if that's if Yo
• 6:34
  gets at fourteen, I want to try to find a way to get overweight
• 6:38
  on him. It could be difficult, But that's where where we're kind of
• 6:41
  at here, kind of a position by position here. Obviously, if you're
