- 0:04Speaker 1: All systems going clear the lift. What's going on? Go
- 0:37Speaker 1: collect mate, Jason, Jordan, Ricky pair bye Sean, Coach William
- 0:42Speaker 1: and my man Rio. We are back talking some hoops.
- 0:45Speaker 1: It's been a long time, real man. This NBA Cup
- 0:47Speaker 1: stuff has had a lot of short slates, which means
- 0:50Speaker 1: no shows on Tuesdays on Wednesdays. But I'm excited to
- 0:53Speaker 1: get back and talk some hoops with you. We go
- 0:56Speaker 1: from very little games to all the games with eleven,
- 0:59Speaker 1: so we will go game by game like always, I'll
- 1:03Speaker 1: steer the ship. Real will take over eleven games of
- 1:05Speaker 1: talk though, so not much time to waste it. Merry
- 1:08Speaker 1: Christmas to everyone out there, Happy New Year, Happy haunt
- 1:11Speaker 1: it cod, whatever you celebrate. Ready to make some money tonight, Real,
- 1:14Speaker 1: I'm ready. Let's get into it. And the initial thoughts
- 1:17Speaker 1: besides just a laundry list of few tags that I'm seeing.
- 1:21Speaker 2: I feel like it's a good time to probably skip
- 1:24Speaker 2: the first two games, honestly, and then back cloaks. I
- 1:27Speaker 2: think there's a lot of things that could really shake
- 1:29Speaker 2: up the slate and decently big injury news in that
- 1:32Speaker 2: seven thirty pm Eastern time slot, mainly in that Cleveland
- 1:36Speaker 2: game and then even in the Dallas game at like
- 1:39Speaker 2: eight pm some other stuff later. I feel like you
- 1:41Speaker 2: want to really be prepared for that, for that news.
- 1:44Speaker 2: So I'm going to be backloading most of my lives
- 1:45Speaker 2: and that first two those first two games are pretty
- 1:47Speaker 2: easy to get off of as well.
- 1:49Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, that's very important. So you can see.
- 1:51Speaker 1: First thing I always look at when pull up a slate.
- 1:53Speaker 1: I'm on Central time right now, so just one hour
- 1:56Speaker 1: head his eastern seven eastern lock time, plenty of seven
- 1:59Speaker 1: thirty eastern games eight eastern, and then it closes the
- 2:02Speaker 1: slate does at nine easterns, so you got to be
- 2:05Speaker 1: around your computer for two hours. Again, a huge list
- 2:08Speaker 1: of injury news projections. Ownership always get updated is you
- 2:11Speaker 1: can see right at the top. Five days for nineteen
- 2:13Speaker 1: dollars is the best deal going on right now using
- 2:15Speaker 1: the code ship nineteen. If you just click join the
- 2:18Speaker 1: nation as well, you know, let's pull it up quick.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Let me exit this screen, shaw, let me pull this
- 2:24Speaker 1: one up because we do have a new daily membership
- 2:28Speaker 1: as well. I don't think that's the best time to
- 2:30Speaker 1: use it right now, just with how much with Christmas
- 2:33Speaker 1: Day right ahead with NBA with NFL. It's a great
- 2:36Speaker 1: time we do have, like for when MMA comes up
- 2:39Speaker 1: in NASCAR. If you do want to join us just
- 2:40Speaker 1: for the day, you can get in as low as
- 2:43Speaker 1: nine dollars. You do not get the Discord though, but
- 2:45Speaker 1: the best deal right now again, huge huge slates on Thursday,
- 2:49Speaker 1: NBA and NFL Monster prizes out there. So really excited
- 2:52Speaker 1: for that. One of my favorite days of the year,
- 2:54Speaker 1: obviously hanging out with family and stuff, but you know,
- 2:57Speaker 1: I'll be in the streets, real will probably be in
- 2:59Speaker 1: the streets. Much money to be made on those days.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Close call. Last year it took fourth or fifth, I believe.
- 3:05Speaker 1: But fun slate. So if you sign up for this
- 3:07Speaker 1: five day access right now, you get obviously today tomorrow,
- 3:09Speaker 1: but you get the Christmas Day and you do get
- 3:12Speaker 1: Saturday action as well. We do have some football action
- 3:15Speaker 1: on Saturday. So very fun stuff right there. No better
- 3:18Speaker 1: time to get in. You also do get the Discord
- 3:20Speaker 1: and Sabersim with this, So five days for nineteen dollars
- 3:24Speaker 1: is the best deal right there. Let me exit out,
- 3:27Speaker 1: let me pull up our partner over here again at
- 3:29Speaker 1: Sabersim and we will go game by game. Rio kind
- 3:32Speaker 1: of already tipped his hand. Not much interest in this
- 3:35Speaker 1: first one. Again, Jordan's in here, Brittany, hope all you
- 3:39Speaker 1: guys are doing well. We don't have any time to
- 3:41Speaker 1: waste though, with eleven games on the slate. So the
- 3:44Speaker 1: first game is the Charlotte Hornets and the Washington Wizards
- 3:47Speaker 1: six and that point favorites are the Hornets and two
- 3:50Speaker 1: thirty nine and a half point spread, so it is
- 3:53Speaker 1: pretty big. But again, injury news Trump's all. As far
- 3:56Speaker 1: as the Charlotte side, Ryan Brunner is questionable. No Mason Plumbley.
- 4:02Speaker 1: As far as the Washington side, no injury news there. Again,
- 4:05Speaker 1: there's a lot of CUE tags on the slate that
- 4:07Speaker 1: we're waiting for, so you mentioned backloading is your preferred route.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Any interest in this first game? I would say no.
- 4:15Speaker 1: From the Washington side for sure. Getting Alex sarback and
- 4:19Speaker 1: then all those Q tags Coolbali, Chris Middleton are going
- 4:23Speaker 1: to be back tonight, So none of these guys are
- 4:24Speaker 1: really projecting like he must have plays. I think you
- 4:26Speaker 1: could take a shot on Alex Sar because he's been
- 4:29Speaker 1: playing really well, but minutes are not really that enticing
- 4:33Speaker 1: right now for him return from injury a few games
- 4:35Speaker 1: ago twenty six and twenty four minutes, so maybe he
- 4:38Speaker 1: gets up to twenty eight thirty, which would put him
- 4:40Speaker 1: in play as a midterier option. But centers should be
- 4:44Speaker 1: pretty strong tonight, so I don't think I want to
- 4:46Speaker 1: waste a roster spot on somebody price that high this early.
- 4:50Speaker 1: For the Charltte stuff, I'm definitely more interested in taking
- 4:52Speaker 1: shots there, especially if coch Brenner were to miss. I
- 4:54Speaker 1: think we know what to expect, Mussa Diabat in the
- 4:57Speaker 1: best matchup possible, a guy that should play thirty plus minutes,
- 5:01Speaker 1: with his backup probably being Salon. I think they don't
- 5:05Speaker 1: really have another center on the roster with Mason Plumley
- 5:08Speaker 1: and Cock Branner if those guys were to be out,
- 5:10Speaker 1: so Diebote probably playing thirty plus minutes in a really.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Good match, but I would definitely get to some of him.
- 5:17Speaker 2: But I think I'll be setting a max one rule
- 5:19Speaker 2: in this game entirely for sure. On each side of
- 5:21Speaker 2: this game, you can make the case for LaMelo, Brandon, Miller,
- 5:25Speaker 2: I mean, even Bridges in con I think all those
- 5:26Speaker 2: guys are fine, but con Sexton is going to be
- 5:28Speaker 2: back tonight. They did get Trey Mann back the other night,
- 5:31Speaker 2: so adding some depth at the guard kind of makes
- 5:33Speaker 2: these guys less of a smash value play. But LaMelo
- 5:37Speaker 2: is really cheap at eight point one K, and we
- 5:38Speaker 2: have seen him put up really crazy numbers in limited minutes,
- 5:41Speaker 2: So I think that he's a guy that you could consider.
- 5:44Speaker 1: But it's going to be a max one in this
- 5:46Speaker 1: game for me, who's better? Who would you rather on
- 5:49Speaker 1: your team? Con or LaMelo? Con easily not even close.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's I've been seeing so much stuff about
- 5:56Speaker 2: the like I feel like LaMelo, Trey, and Amran are
- 6:00Speaker 2: all in kind of the same bucket of point guard
- 6:02Speaker 2: where they have a ton of talent and teams were
- 6:05Speaker 2: building around them, but none of them have really lived
- 6:09Speaker 2: up to their expectations. I think Trey has probably been
- 6:11Speaker 2: the best of the bunch, and Jaws probably the most talented,
- 6:14Speaker 2: maybe LaMelo, But nobody really wants these guys on their
- 6:17Speaker 2: teams anymore.
- 6:18Speaker 1: You need basketball, IQ, You need to put winning in
- 6:21Speaker 1: the team around or above yourself. At the end of
- 6:24Speaker 1: the day, con just makes so many more people better,
- 6:27Speaker 1: couldn't imagine? Come on and Sean, there's.
- 6:29Speaker 2: No surprise that Seawan's going contrary with a LaMelo call
- 6:32Speaker 2: it Con has been so He's like, it's obviously Cooper
- 6:35Speaker 2: five has been the best rookie, but I think there's
- 6:38Speaker 2: a case to make it about.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Minus one eighty five plus one seventy five right now
- 6:42Speaker 1: Rookie of the year for them both. Cooper's obviously came
- 6:44Speaker 1: on hot. Yeah, I mean I just saw this. My
- 6:46Speaker 1: mom was just telling me this yesterday. Man, it was
- 6:49Speaker 1: like Keegan Murray was there. Luca was like twenty eight
- 6:52Speaker 1: or twenty nine for Con and like forty two, forty three, forty.
- 6:55Speaker 1: I mean he just blown him out of the water. Man.
- 6:57Speaker 1: The basketball IQ on Con is just I know You're
- 7:00Speaker 1: mom was was a ballner like that. Oh yeah, my
- 7:02Speaker 1: mom had offers to play college. She ended up playing
- 7:04Speaker 1: soccer Sheriken broke her her records at school. Now Daria
- 7:11Speaker 1: is there too. Yeah, my mom she got me into
- 7:13Speaker 1: fantasy all that. She she loves the sports. A shout
- 7:15Speaker 1: out to my mom.
- 7:16Speaker 2: How about that Con three and a half last night, Yeah.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Has been absolutely smashing. Yeah with uh. I asked him
- 7:24Speaker 1: for some trying to get my Baltimore Ravens money back.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Real helped me out a little bit yesterday with some props.
- 7:30Speaker 1: So yeah, shout outs too real over here, always putting
- 7:33Speaker 1: in the work.
- 7:33Speaker 2: I do have one at the very end of the night,
- 7:35Speaker 2: so you got to you gotta stick around for.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Fortunately I'm not yeah, other people, I'm not. Again, I'm
- 7:41Speaker 1: not in a legal betting state, so unfortunately I can't
- 7:43Speaker 1: get it down today. But a lot of people shout
- 7:45Speaker 1: out to trist get Cam Johnson. He laddered up till
- 7:49Speaker 1: like six plus eighteen hundred for threees plus eighteen hundred
- 7:53Speaker 1: and he hit that, So shout out to trist get
- 7:55Speaker 1: right there. But yeah, not a game to have much
- 7:57Speaker 1: interest in. Again, backloading is very important on this slate.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Oh yes, coach, hope you get better. I saw yeah sick.
- 8:05Speaker 1: I know Rio is battling and I was battling little
- 8:07Speaker 1: sickness before. We have Ricky talking about his son just
- 8:11Speaker 1: got over in pneumonia. Definitely a time a lot of
- 8:13Speaker 1: people are six. So hope, uh, yeah, you stay safe
- 8:17Speaker 1: out there. Focus on your health. Cam Baby, there's our
- 8:20Speaker 1: man trisk It. Hope you're doing well all right. Next
- 8:22Speaker 1: game on the slate, Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia seventy
- 8:25Speaker 1: six Philadelphia seventy six ers. Man, I'm such a football things.
- 8:29Speaker 1: I said it. For a second I doubted that was
- 8:31Speaker 1: actually their name. But pen and that point favorites are
- 8:34Speaker 1: the seventy six ers two nineteen and a half total.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Very low injuries in this one. Nothing on the Brooklyn
- 8:41Speaker 1: side to worry about. On the Philly side, Quentin Grimes,
- 8:44Speaker 1: Dominic Barlow and VJ. Edgecombe all questionable. Yeah, I mean
- 8:48Speaker 1: obviously have all three of them are out? Maybe you
- 8:50Speaker 1: have some interests? Do you have any leans on these guys.
- 8:53Speaker 1: I'm seeing illness, illness, illness, so yeah, right on cue,
- 8:57Speaker 1: it's that time of year. But any thoughts Philly Brooklyn.
- 9:00Speaker 1: I know you said at the top, probably backloading and
- 9:02Speaker 1: not much interest.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Yeah, that would definitely open some things up. They are
- 9:09Speaker 2: generally pretty healthy though, I just don't really know how
- 9:11Speaker 2: deep into the bench they want to go. I would
- 9:13Speaker 2: imagine if Edgecomb and Grimes were to miss a lot
- 9:16Speaker 2: of those minutes are probably going to Jared McCain and
- 9:19Speaker 2: probably Justin Edwards and then pre Dominic Barlow, it's probably
- 9:22Speaker 2: just gonna be Jabari Walker studding in there. So I
- 9:24Speaker 2: don't think any of these guys are really must have
- 9:26Speaker 2: plays because even if McCain is playing upper twenties minutes,
- 9:30Speaker 2: he's still competing with Tyras Max, Paul George, and Joel
- 9:33Speaker 2: Embiid for touches, So it's not the same situation whereas
- 9:37Speaker 2: he was playing for Paul George, Edgecomb and Joel Embiid
- 9:40Speaker 2: earlier this season. So not really something I'm going to
- 9:44Speaker 2: be prioritizing. But also the game environ itself is pretty bad.
- 9:50Speaker 2: These teams have been playing really good defense.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Over the last month or so.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Brooklyn is second in the league in points per possession
- 9:55Speaker 2: defensively and Philly is fourth over the last two weeks.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Make sense why the game.
- 10:00Speaker 2: Total is so low, and then Brooklyn is pretty healthy
- 10:05Speaker 2: right now just ca cam Thomas is out, Drake Powell
- 10:07Speaker 2: is out.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Just not really, it doesn't really mean too much.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if you are picking on somebody on
- 10:14Speaker 2: either side of this game, I'll say for Brooklyn it's
- 10:17Speaker 2: easily Michael Port junior, Nick Claxon. There's some downside for
- 10:20Speaker 2: Nick Clackson though, obviously guarding Joel Embiid, a guy.
- 10:23Speaker 1: That can draw a ton of fouls.
- 10:24Speaker 2: And then for MPJ, I don't know, it's just kind
- 10:28Speaker 2: of like he's always in play just because he's been
- 10:31Speaker 2: crushing this season. But he's almost nine K. Now, definitely
- 10:35Speaker 2: worth that price type, but you're gonna need fifty plus
- 10:37Speaker 2: from him to be viable on this big of a slate,
- 10:39Speaker 2: So another another guy that's kind of overpriced. I don't
- 10:43Speaker 2: really want to prioritize this early in the slate. For Philly,
- 10:47Speaker 2: I'm off of Tyris Maxi for a few reasons. One
- 10:50Speaker 2: with Joe Joel Ebid back gonna take away some usage
- 10:53Speaker 2: from him, but also the matchup is not great just
- 10:56Speaker 2: with the way that the Nets played defense. They're one
- 10:58Speaker 2: of the best pick and roll defenses in the league,
- 10:59Speaker 2: so not a great spot for Tarry's Maxi. For embiid
- 11:04Speaker 2: it is a pretty good matchup for him. I do
- 11:05Speaker 2: worry that he might be eased in after not playing
- 11:08Speaker 2: for nine days because he did play thirty minutes and
- 11:12Speaker 2: back to back games and he had to miss a
- 11:14Speaker 2: few games. So he's probably back to like twenty six
- 11:18Speaker 2: twenty eight, I would imagine, which is enough for him
- 11:20Speaker 2: to hit at ak. Matchup's pretty good against Claxton. The
- 11:24Speaker 2: Nets are alo the second most field goal attempts at
- 11:26Speaker 2: the room of the season, so the matchup pretty good
- 11:28Speaker 2: for him. But another game I'm gonna be max one
- 11:31Speaker 2: of and then just continue to backload and wait for
- 11:33Speaker 2: some injuries to injury stuff.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the second lowest total on the SLY.
- 11:38Speaker 1: It's one point higher than the Bucks Pacers that we'll
- 11:41Speaker 1: get to. I mean, man, it's been very, very sad
- 11:44Speaker 1: for the Bucks. But I couldn't imagine unless we get
- 11:46Speaker 1: at least two of three of like Grimes, Barlow, edge
- 11:50Speaker 1: Combe and even then, Yeah, it's probably Embeid is my
- 11:53Speaker 1: favorite play ak. As you see, I am sorting by value.
- 11:56Speaker 1: He is the only one that projects for over five acts,
- 11:59Speaker 1: the only one with any bit of ownership in this game.
- 12:01Speaker 1: I'm not even sure he gets to eleven percent, though, Jokic,
- 12:04Speaker 1: I think people want to spend up at center. I
- 12:07Speaker 1: think Town's obviously a power forward center eligible. I mean,
- 12:10Speaker 1: he could get news where some value opens at center.
- 12:13Speaker 1: So yeah, I'd rather play one of. If I picked
- 12:16Speaker 1: a spot like one of Khan or Diabate, if kylc
- 12:19Speaker 1: Burner's out or something the first game, than I would
- 12:22Speaker 1: miss almost twenty points higher total in that one. All right,
- 12:26Speaker 1: let's keep it rolling. Next game on the site. Again,
- 12:28Speaker 1: appreciate everyone hanging out. If you're watching, do us a favorite,
- 12:31Speaker 1: Just hit that like button, hit that subscribe button. It
- 12:33Speaker 1: does help us out a ton. Chicago Bulls and the
- 12:36Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks two fifty three and a half total. I mean,
- 12:39Speaker 1: this is what we're talking. We go from two nineteen
- 12:41Speaker 1: and a half to two point fifty three and a half.
- 12:43Speaker 1: That's a big boy three and that point. Favorites are
- 12:46Speaker 1: the Hawks. Injury news on this one. Nothing on the
- 12:48Speaker 1: Chicago side. No Dice and Daniels for Atlanta. Looking at ownership,
- 12:54Speaker 1: let me filter by these two, sort by ownership. Vooch
- 12:58Speaker 1: Risha che finally got that name right after two years.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson at Kongu Kobe White all showing fifteen percent
- 13:04Speaker 1: or more. Shout out at Wisconsin boy, Jalen Johnson. Absolute
- 13:08Speaker 1: Hooper been dominating this year, has won plenty of people
- 13:11Speaker 1: some money. Yeah, what do you like in this one?
- 13:14Speaker 1: Two fifty three and a half. You don't see that
- 13:15Speaker 1: every day. It is the biggest on the slate by well,
- 13:19Speaker 1: we do have a two forty eight and a half,
- 13:20Speaker 1: but yeah, it's definitely the biggest over under on the slate.
- 13:24Speaker 2: Yeah, these teams played just last game and combined for
- 13:27Speaker 2: over three hundred points. I think it's one fifty two
- 13:29Speaker 2: to one fifty in regulations too, so they didn't They
- 13:31Speaker 2: didn't even need overtime to get there.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Really just yeah, insane. No defense was being played in
- 13:37Speaker 1: that game.
- 13:37Speaker 2: Both teams were just crushing on offense, and I kind
- 13:40Speaker 2: of think that they can repeat that. I don't think
- 13:42Speaker 2: they're scoring three hundred, but obviously the game total is high,
- 13:45Speaker 2: so I think that there's definitely gonna be a lot
- 13:47Speaker 2: of points scored in this game. I think that some
- 13:49Speaker 2: guys will be heard from. From a DFS perspective, the
- 13:52Speaker 2: Chicago stuff is kind of tougher to break down because
- 13:54Speaker 2: they are running out of pretty deep rotation right now.
- 13:58Speaker 2: But it's a really good spot. Is I believe dead
- 14:01Speaker 2: last and defense over the last two weeks. Chicago's bottom
- 14:04Speaker 2: six in defense, but they also have the first number
- 14:06Speaker 2: one ranked offense over that stretch, so they should be
- 14:09Speaker 2: able to put up a ton of points here. I
- 14:11Speaker 2: think that the top three guys are pretty clearly the
- 14:14Speaker 2: top options, just you know, with the way that the
- 14:18Speaker 2: Hawks are given them a ton of fantasy points. Their
- 14:19Speaker 2: bottom five and six and fantasy points allowed to point
- 14:22Speaker 2: guards and shooting guards over the last seven games and
- 14:25Speaker 2: dead last against centers over that stretch. So it sets
- 14:28Speaker 2: up as a really really good spot for all of Giddy,
- 14:31Speaker 2: White and Vouch. I would rank it Giddy, Vouch, and White.
- 14:34Speaker 2: I slightly have Vouch over Kobe White, mainly because he's
- 14:37Speaker 2: cheaper and playing pretty well and it's a really good
- 14:40Speaker 2: matchup against the Congu. But I'm totally fine with all
- 14:42Speaker 2: three of these guys. I would probably set a max
- 14:44Speaker 2: two rule of those three. I think that would cover
- 14:48Speaker 2: it for the rules there. And then I also don't
- 14:50Speaker 2: mind Montese Buzzellis at five point five k coming off
- 14:53Speaker 2: of two of his better games in a row twenty
- 14:56Speaker 2: nine to thirty three minutes in each of his last
- 14:57Speaker 2: two games. I think he might have set a career
- 14:59Speaker 2: high the last game, at least from the three point line.
- 15:02Speaker 2: He went seven to eight from three point in ten
- 15:05Speaker 2: for eleven from the field, so he's probably gaining a
- 15:08Speaker 2: little bit more trust from Billy Donovan. So I'm okay
- 15:11Speaker 2: with Bouzellis in a really high scoring affair. I think
- 15:13Speaker 2: that he's a decent low owned option for Atlanta. Jalen
- 15:19Speaker 2: Johnson I think is a really really strong option tonight.
- 15:22Speaker 2: A team against like the Bulls that are one of
- 15:24Speaker 2: the worst room defense in the league, I think really
- 15:27Speaker 2: sets up well for him. And even with Trey Young returning,
- 15:30Speaker 2: he has kind of been unaffected from a usage standpoint,
- 15:33Speaker 2: put up thirty twenty six percent usage rate in his
- 15:36Speaker 2: first two games since Trey's return. So a matchup against
- 15:40Speaker 2: a massive ruin funnel I think is a really really
- 15:42Speaker 2: good spot for Jalen Johnson. So it's not surprising to
- 15:44Speaker 2: see he went for thirty six points the last time
- 15:47Speaker 2: these teams faced off. I kind of like the idea
- 15:49Speaker 2: of going with a stud correlation with getting Jalen Johnson
- 15:53Speaker 2: having a little back and forth affair, and then I
- 15:56Speaker 2: think Trey is also in play. Nine k played twenty
- 15:58Speaker 2: six minutes last game, Hoig you Fish, scoring the ball
- 16:00Speaker 2: thirty five points, ten for fifteen, shooting seven freight from deep.
- 16:05Speaker 2: This is third game back from injury, so it's usually
- 16:07Speaker 2: around the time you start to see players get ramped
- 16:09Speaker 2: up a little bit, so we might see him touch thirty,
- 16:11Speaker 2: which would make him a pretty solid option against a
- 16:14Speaker 2: team like Chicago that's just given up a ton of
- 16:16Speaker 2: points and then a coongu with no Mo Gay that
- 16:19Speaker 2: leaves him with just Austin Newell as the backup center tonight,
- 16:22Speaker 2: So probably seeing thirty six plus from him. He played
- 16:25Speaker 2: forty minutes last game, so I could see him repeating that,
- 16:30Speaker 2: and it's a good matchup. Like we said against Vouch,
- 16:33Speaker 2: definitely spot you want to attack. I would be trying
- 16:37Speaker 2: to go away from anyw I know that Dyson Daniels
- 16:39Speaker 2: being out would probably help him a little bit, but
- 16:42Speaker 2: he's expensive and I think with Trey returning that's going
- 16:44Speaker 2: to impact him the most. It's going to be a
- 16:46Speaker 2: lot of Jalen Johnson Trey Young handling the ball now,
- 16:49Speaker 2: whereas in the non Jalen Johnson minutes when Tray was
- 16:51Speaker 2: out it was kind of split between him and Dyson.
- 16:55Speaker 2: And I see him getting a little bit of ownership,
- 16:56Speaker 2: probably just due to small Forward being week tonight, but
- 17:01Speaker 2: I'm okay getting away from that, and I think that
- 17:03Speaker 2: Risha she Craze and Lukenard are all worthy of consideration.
- 17:07Speaker 2: I'll probably be Max one of those three guys. They
- 17:10Speaker 2: all have some level of websites tonight, just with the
- 17:13Speaker 2: way that the Bulls are funneling a lot of points
- 17:15Speaker 2: to three point shooters. So I think all these guys
- 17:17Speaker 2: are in play. I probably prefer Crazy the most, but
- 17:22Speaker 2: it's kind of close. I think all these guys are
- 17:24Speaker 2: totally fine.
- 17:25Speaker 1: I don't I don't necessarily believe that twenty nine percent
- 17:27Speaker 1: for Risha, do you like, we have a ton of
- 17:30Speaker 1: knicks value. We just it's eleven games slate and even
- 17:32Speaker 1: more value will open up.
- 17:33Speaker 2: So yeah, he's probably probably low low double digits, probably
- 17:38Speaker 2: like like ten twelve percent, yeah, ten twelve percent range.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Yeah, And I will mention on like and Jalen Johnson's
- 17:44Speaker 1: ownership at twenty four percent, that might even be higher.
- 17:47Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of value on this late.
- 17:49Speaker 1: He projects very very well in the best game environment.
- 17:52Speaker 1: So that's interesting. How many plays would be comfortable with
- 17:55Speaker 1: in this game? I mean, I think you could play
- 17:57Speaker 1: three for sure. I don't don't even know if i'd
- 18:00Speaker 1: hate for the problem is it is an eleven games play.
- 18:03Speaker 1: You need You're like, you're gonna need flames on every
- 18:05Speaker 1: single spot in your roster to ship anything. So what
- 18:08Speaker 1: do you think it was for too many? I think
- 18:12Speaker 1: you could get away with four. It's Johnson at Kung
- 18:17Speaker 1: Wu Giddy. Yeah, yeah, I think.
- 18:20Speaker 2: It would have to be Kobe White, probably because you're
- 18:22Speaker 2: not playing a Kong Wu and foots and taking up
- 18:25Speaker 2: two center spots.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Yeah. On FANDLE, it is worth noting this game is
- 18:30Speaker 1: definitely gonna get a lot of ownership of Kung Wu's
- 18:32Speaker 1: power forward eligible so and you have to play two
- 18:35Speaker 1: power forwards on FanDuel, so he will definitely be very
- 18:37Speaker 1: popular over there. Jalen Johnson has small forward and power
- 18:40Speaker 1: forward eligibility, will also be very popular. And Naw sixty
- 18:44Speaker 1: three hundred will also be pretty popular over there as
- 18:47Speaker 1: well at shooting guards, so the hawk stuff will be
- 18:50Speaker 1: even more popular on fan duel, especially at Kong Wu
- 18:53Speaker 1: and Naw from what I'm seeing, But yeah, I like
- 18:55Speaker 1: your your shout on maybe a Giddy Jalen Johnson. Again,
- 18:58Speaker 1: enough value on this late and with this pace you
- 19:00Speaker 1: can see both of them. Maybe some triple double opportunity
- 19:04Speaker 1: for Giddy today. Phenomenal game to target, there's no doubt
- 19:08Speaker 1: about that. All right, We'll keep it rolling. Next game
- 19:11Speaker 1: on the slate Toronto Raptors and the Miami Heats. Let
- 19:14Speaker 1: me refresh the DK sportsbook. We're looking at a five
- 19:17Speaker 1: and that point favorites for the Heat to twenty seven
- 19:19Speaker 1: and a half total injuries for the Toronto side. No
- 19:22Speaker 1: Yakaperto again. Mamu of course, another buck that they got
- 19:26Speaker 1: rid of and now he absolutely crushes any time he
- 19:28Speaker 1: gets a chance. He should start at center again for
- 19:31Speaker 1: the Heat. No Tyler Hero and yeah, khalil Ware has
- 19:35Speaker 1: been an absolute monster. So looking at this in terms
- 19:38Speaker 1: of ownership, not like no individual player, I don't think
- 19:42Speaker 1: it's gonna be as high as a Jalen Johnson, but
- 19:44Speaker 1: you see multiple guys are getting a good amount of
- 19:47Speaker 1: ownership one, two, three, four, five, six players projected for
- 19:51Speaker 1: thirteen percent or more. And again only the highest priced
- 19:55Speaker 1: player in this game eighty six hundred Scottie Barnes. So
- 19:58Speaker 1: if you're going more middling builds or something like that,
- 20:00Speaker 1: you could fall into this game. What are your thoughts though,
- 20:03Speaker 1: Toronto and the Heat.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm surprised that these guys are projecting as well
- 20:09Speaker 2: as they are because I think that the pace that
- 20:11Speaker 2: Miami has been playing with is kind of baked into
- 20:14Speaker 2: the projections and they've been playing a lot slower as
- 20:17Speaker 2: of late. They've actually fallen outside the top ten of
- 20:20Speaker 2: pace this month where.
- 20:21Speaker 1: They were first.
- 20:23Speaker 2: They in the league by a pretty wide margin, and
- 20:26Speaker 2: Toronto is a team that in general just likes to
- 20:29Speaker 2: slow things down in the half court.
- 20:30Speaker 1: They were in twenty ninth in pace.
- 20:31Speaker 2: I think that the game total is pretty spot on
- 20:35Speaker 2: and where it should be, and I think that there's
- 20:37Speaker 2: probably less points scored in this game. But for the
- 20:39Speaker 2: Toronto side, you obviously have two main rotation pieces out
- 20:42Speaker 2: with Archie Barrett and Quickly or Pertle out so that,
- 20:46Speaker 2: like you said, Mamu is gonna start. He's power forward
- 20:48Speaker 2: center eligible. I think that he is in play, but
- 20:50Speaker 2: the price did come up to five point five k.
- 20:53Speaker 2: He's not running away with minutes by any means. He's
- 20:55Speaker 2: still playing probably mid to upper twenties minutes, which is
- 20:59Speaker 2: enough for him to fit value or hit value. But
- 21:01Speaker 2: I don't think that like thirty to thirty four from
- 21:04Speaker 2: him on this slate is enough. I feel like you're
- 21:07Speaker 2: gonna need probably four hundred plus to night, so you're
- 21:10Speaker 2: gonna need six x from basically every position. So I'm
- 21:14Speaker 2: not in love with him as a value play, but
- 21:15Speaker 2: I do think that he is in play. I would
- 21:17Speaker 2: probably rather look to Scotty Barnes and Emmanuel Quickly. On
- 21:21Speaker 2: the Toronto side, we have a pretty large sample over
- 21:25Speaker 2: the last two seasons where Scotty Barnes is the guy
- 21:27Speaker 2: that sees the biggest boost. From a point per minute
- 21:30Speaker 2: standpoint of a seven hundred and forty minute sample, he's
- 21:32Speaker 2: averaging one point three to three Fantasy points per minute.
- 21:35Speaker 2: The matchup for him is a little bit tougher. I
- 21:37Speaker 2: think he's gonna see a lot of Bam or Colo ware,
- 21:40Speaker 2: so it's gonna be tough for him to score on
- 21:42Speaker 2: the inside. The Miami Heat have been pretty good. Taken
- 21:44Speaker 2: away the interior scoring. It's been a much better match
- 21:47Speaker 2: up for three point shooters, which is not really Scotty
- 21:49Speaker 2: Barnes's game, But he does enough of everything that he
- 21:51Speaker 2: can still hit value. So I like him probably the
- 21:55Speaker 2: most of the three. But then I think Quickly has
- 21:57Speaker 2: the best matchup of Barnes, Ingerman and Quickly. He's kind
- 22:02Speaker 2: of their main catch and shoot option. The heater funneling
- 22:04Speaker 2: a ton of off ball scoring right now, so I
- 22:06Speaker 2: think that he could if he can hit his shots,
- 22:08Speaker 2: he could hit has a chance to hit the ceiling.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Double doubles in two of his last or double digit
- 22:13Speaker 2: assists in two of his last three games, taking a
- 22:16Speaker 2: ton of three still, so if he can knock down
- 22:18Speaker 2: some threes, he does have a good bit of value.
- 22:21Speaker 2: And then CNB Colin Murray Boyles, I think you could
- 22:25Speaker 2: also consider as a pivot off of Mamu because he
- 22:28Speaker 2: would get those backup seven minutes. He's only three point
- 22:30Speaker 2: three k also has power forward center eligibility, so he
- 22:33Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense. Don't really love the Toronto
- 22:35Speaker 2: side by any means, so these guys have been it's
- 22:37Speaker 2: been a little bit tougher to get true ceiling games
- 22:39Speaker 2: from these guys. I would probably set up max one
- 22:43Speaker 2: rule of the Barnes Ingram quickly at these prices, and
- 22:47Speaker 2: then probably max one of Mamu and Colin Murray Boyles,
- 22:50Speaker 2: and then nobody else is really in consideration for me
- 22:53Speaker 2: on Toronto. For Miami, I think it's pretty clear that
- 22:56Speaker 2: clil where is the best option for them from a
- 22:59Speaker 2: fantas perspective. He's been crushing it as of late forty
- 23:03Speaker 2: eight plus DK points in three straight games, rebounding the
- 23:05Speaker 2: shit out of the ball, and he's shooting it really
- 23:08Speaker 2: well from beyond three point line. He's averaging one point
- 23:10Speaker 2: four fantasy points per minute with Djovic, Pelly Larson, and
- 23:13Speaker 2: Hero off the court the season, those guys are all out,
- 23:16Speaker 2: so you can get pretty aggressive with his projection if
- 23:20Speaker 2: you think that he's going to be playing thirty plus
- 23:22Speaker 2: minutes here. The one thing I would just be cautious
- 23:26Speaker 2: of I've been seeing from a lot of the beat
- 23:29Speaker 2: writers talk about like Eric spolshra and what he's seen
- 23:32Speaker 2: from Chloe whar Obviously he's playing great, but he was
- 23:35Speaker 2: saying that he doesn't really want him to rely on
- 23:37Speaker 2: shooting threes and wants him to get more around the basket.
- 23:40Speaker 2: So if he's if he's taken a lot of threes
- 23:42Speaker 2: and missing them, I don't I wouldn't be surprised. Like
- 23:44Speaker 2: Spolsher has a really tight LEAs in some of these guys,
- 23:46Speaker 2: if he if his minutes were to come down, So
- 23:49Speaker 2: if he was getting like thirty to forty percent ownership,
- 23:51Speaker 2: which it looks like he won't be tonight, then I
- 23:53Speaker 2: would be low cautious there. If he's in like the
- 23:56Speaker 2: upper single digits to low double digits, then I would
- 23:59Speaker 2: probably we take an overweight stance because he does have
- 24:02Speaker 2: really really big upside at five point nine K, but
- 24:05Speaker 2: he's definitely the clear number one option for me in
- 24:07Speaker 2: Miami tonight. I think BAM and Norm are probably a
- 24:11Speaker 2: little too pricey and not a great matchup for either
- 24:13Speaker 2: of them on this big of a slate, so I
- 24:14Speaker 2: don't think I'll get to much of them. But Honey Hawks,
- 24:18Speaker 2: Wiggins and Davean Mitchell are all priced pretty appropriately, so
- 24:20Speaker 2: I'll sprinkle all in those guys, but probably a max
- 24:23Speaker 2: two spot on Miami and then yeah, max two from
- 24:27Speaker 2: both sides of this game, I think.
- 24:29Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't even think like I don't want
- 24:31Speaker 1: four pieces in this game together max two on both sides.
- 24:34Speaker 1: But I it's definitely not a game like compared to
- 24:37Speaker 1: the last game we just talked about. I mean, you're again,
- 24:39Speaker 1: totals don't mean everything, but it's almost like twenty five
- 24:42Speaker 1: points lower and prices are pretty appropriate on both Toronto
- 24:46Speaker 1: I've just struggled with because all right is an Ingram game?
- 24:49Speaker 1: Is it a quickly game? Is a Scottie game on
- 24:51Speaker 1: large slates like this? Like you said, I mean four
- 24:54Speaker 1: hundred plus you might need six x. It feels like
- 24:57Speaker 1: they cut into each other a little bit. So not
- 25:00Speaker 1: my favorite game by any means I'd much rather target
- 25:02Speaker 1: that Atlanta Chicago game. But I do like Chloe where
- 25:07Speaker 1: interesting point. Like you said with the threes, if he
- 25:09Speaker 1: does have a quick trigger, that would be sad. But
- 25:12Speaker 1: I mean, if he's playing thirty minutes, sign me up
- 25:14Speaker 1: at fifty nine hundred. Almost every single slate. Next game
- 25:18Speaker 1: on the site, New Orleans Pelicans and the Cleveland Cavaliers
- 25:23Speaker 1: eight and a half point favorites are the Cavs second
- 25:25Speaker 1: biggest total on the slate at two forty eight and
- 25:27Speaker 1: a half. Injuries in this one on the Pelican side,
- 25:30Speaker 1: no Herb Jones, Jordan Poole questionable. For the Cleveland side,
- 25:35Speaker 1: no Alonzo and Darius Garland is questionable. Obviously, big news
- 25:40Speaker 1: right here, and that's kind of why you want to backload,
- 25:43Speaker 1: assuming we don't get the news before even if we
- 25:45Speaker 1: get the news by seven eastern, these aren't two very
- 25:48Speaker 1: appealing games to start. But yeah, that Darius Garland news
- 25:51Speaker 1: very important. If he has ruled out, you will see
- 25:54Speaker 1: d Mitch get a good bump. I think Proctor, Craig
- 25:58Speaker 1: Porter maybe a little bit. Let's start on that side.
- 26:01Speaker 1: If Garland's out or a do you have a lean
- 26:03Speaker 1: is it a real chance he does sit. I see
- 26:05Speaker 1: eight and that point favorite, so it's possible they might
- 26:08Speaker 1: want to get him a little extra rest. But yeah,
- 26:10Speaker 1: the Kas implied for one hundred and twenty six points.
- 26:12Speaker 1: One of their best players has questioned obviously Mobily out
- 26:15Speaker 1: for a long time as well, So what do you
- 26:17Speaker 1: see in this one?
- 26:19Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely a good chance that he sits. He did
- 26:21Speaker 2: say after the game last night that he was planning
- 26:23Speaker 2: to play, but then the the injury report came out
- 26:28Speaker 2: and he was questionable. So uh, for sure, a real
- 26:32Speaker 2: chance that he sits. And I think that is kind
- 26:36Speaker 2: of the news I would want to wait for because
- 26:38Speaker 2: we would see I don't know who would be that
- 26:40Speaker 2: that would start.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Craik Port Jr.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Is back, and the last time that Procter started, both
- 26:44Speaker 2: Garland and CPJ were out I think or maybe it
- 26:47Speaker 2: was Donovan Mitchell, forget who it was, but it would
- 26:51Speaker 2: probably I'm not sure what they would do with the
- 26:52Speaker 2: starting lab. I would imagine it's Sam Merrill back in there.
- 26:55Speaker 2: They just slide Donovan down to the one, Craig Port Jr.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Gets the backup point guard minutes and they probably don't
- 27:00Speaker 2: play Procter much. Is what I would think, But yeah,
- 27:04Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 27:04Speaker 1: I just kind of is it just going with the
- 27:06Speaker 1: starter if it's Procter or you' Tim, if it's Merrill
- 27:08Speaker 1: at Tim, if it's Craig Porter or Tim, or would
- 27:11Speaker 1: you like like the backup more because they're not sharing
- 27:14Speaker 1: as much with d Mitch.
- 27:16Speaker 2: I would like Craig Porter Junior for sure, if he
- 27:17Speaker 2: was if he was cool, not even if he was starting. Yeah,
- 27:22Speaker 2: even if he was off the bench. I feel like
- 27:23Speaker 2: he's kind of the clear the clear option. I don't
- 27:25Speaker 2: know really if they'd want to go back to Procter,
- 27:30Speaker 2: but yeah, I think that Cleveland is kind of overvalued
- 27:33Speaker 2: in the betty market here. They're playing really bad. I
- 27:36Speaker 2: know they won last night, but it was kind of
- 27:39Speaker 2: a weird situation where I checked, like who was on
- 27:41Speaker 2: the court for Charlotte towards the end of the game
- 27:43Speaker 2: when the game was still close and they had all
- 27:45Speaker 2: their backups in, like the Liam mcneely's and all those guys.
- 27:49Speaker 2: So it's kind of the kind of punt of the
- 27:50Speaker 2: game off and they still only won by seven. They're
- 27:53Speaker 2: favored by almost ten points here against the Pelicans team
- 27:56Speaker 2: that has been playing.
- 27:57Speaker 1: Actually pretty good as of late.
- 27:59Speaker 2: They are top six in defense over the last two
- 28:03Speaker 2: weeks in top four or top five in offense, whereas
- 28:06Speaker 2: Cleveland is bottom three in defense over the last two
- 28:10Speaker 2: weeks and top nine in offense. I think that I
- 28:13Speaker 2: think there's a chance that no one can hang around
- 28:15Speaker 2: in this game, which definitely makes me like the guys
- 28:19Speaker 2: that would would not get blow a run if the
- 28:21Speaker 2: game did get to blown out. So Donovan Mitchell for sure,
- 28:24Speaker 2: Jared Allen, I even think that he would be in play.
- 28:26Speaker 2: I think you would need Darris Garland to be out
- 28:28Speaker 2: for you to get to Jared Allen. But I think
- 28:30Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell is a good play regardless. You don't have
- 28:33Speaker 2: herb Jones to worry about on the other side as well,
- 28:35Speaker 2: so his matchup got a whole lot softer. So yeah,
- 28:38Speaker 2: I think that he's an excellent spin up option regardless.
- 28:41Speaker 2: But then if you get Donovan or with Darris Garland out,
- 28:45Speaker 2: he's one of the best spin ups on the entire slate.
- 28:48Speaker 2: One hundred and seventy minutes sample this season, with no
- 28:50Speaker 2: Mobiley and no Darris Garland, he's averaging one point six
- 28:53Speaker 2: to five Fantasy points per minute. That's up there with
- 28:55Speaker 2: like Jokich and Luka type numbers obviously a small sample,
- 28:58Speaker 2: but he's gonna do all the heavy lifting on offense
- 29:01Speaker 2: for Cleveland, so I would love him. And then for
- 29:03Speaker 2: Jared Allen with Garland out and Mobile out one point
- 29:06Speaker 2: four Fantasy points for a minute, great matchup against the
- 29:09Speaker 2: Pelicans team that we've attacked all season long, So I
- 29:12Speaker 2: would like those two guys a ton on the Pelicans
- 29:14Speaker 2: side a little bit less interested in them. I think
- 29:18Speaker 2: that we would need Jordan Poole to be out to
- 29:20Speaker 2: consider a lot of these guys. I think Trey Murphy
- 29:22Speaker 2: is in a good spot regardless, but he's also not
- 29:25Speaker 2: cheap zion back Derek Queen taking away use from him
- 29:28Speaker 2: just makes it a little bit tougher to get there.
- 29:30Speaker 2: I want the Pelican side to be thinner because it
- 29:32Speaker 2: is a really good spot to attack. Like over the
- 29:34Speaker 2: last seven games, the Cavs are a lot of the
- 29:37Speaker 2: third most DK points to point guards and shooting guards,
- 29:39Speaker 2: and I think they might be like dead last against
- 29:41Speaker 2: small forward something like that. So it is a good
- 29:44Speaker 2: spot for the Pelicans side. But if anything, just keeps
- 29:47Speaker 2: the game close and you get a full run from
- 29:49Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell. Yeah, I think this game does have some
- 29:52Speaker 2: sneaky shoot up potential and could definitely remain closer than
- 29:55Speaker 2: Vegas thinks it will.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that. Take the problem is, I, like
- 29:58Speaker 1: you said, with the Pelicans, they're just fully healthy pretty much.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Even if pools out, I'm not even sure I can
- 30:05Speaker 1: get to any of them. And I'm eleven games slate like,
- 30:07Speaker 1: I mean, Queen's a ball or shout out to Derek Queen.
- 30:09Speaker 1: It's been fun to watch him, but still Zion there,
- 30:11Speaker 1: Trey Murphy, Sadik Bay has been fine. I if Jordan
- 30:15Speaker 1: pulls in it makes it even worse. But yeah, I can't.
- 30:18Speaker 1: I can't click on any of these Pelicans if I'm
- 30:20Speaker 1: like handbuilding a team or something, and I'd be max one.
- 30:23Speaker 1: I do like Donvan Mitchell a lot for I mean,
- 30:25Speaker 1: you want him in a competitive game if you do
- 30:27Speaker 1: think it stays closer. Obviously, if Garland's out, I would
- 30:30Speaker 1: really really like D Mitch and you can you have
- 30:33Speaker 1: enough there's enough salary relief on this late you can
- 30:36Speaker 1: play D Mitch. Jalen Johnson. Maybe he can play giddy
- 30:39Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson D Mitch, depending on what injury news breaks
- 30:43Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So really really liked the spot
- 30:46Speaker 1: for d Mitch. Assuming Garland's out, even if he's in
- 30:50Speaker 1: competitive game, he can play like he's not playing thirty
- 30:53Speaker 1: two minutes, right, Darris Girland, No, No, D Mitch, that's
- 30:57Speaker 1: what has I'm projected for right here.
- 31:00Speaker 2: No, I would imagine it's closed thirty five, thirty six, Yeah,
- 31:03Speaker 2: thirty four to thirty five probably, Yeah, it's like the
- 31:06Speaker 2: median for him. I think that thirty six to thirty
- 31:09Speaker 2: seven is like the higher end.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Yeah, So, I mean that's all something I always like
- 31:14Speaker 1: to look at as well. Maybe I should just have
- 31:16Speaker 1: sabers and projection up. I was taking the average, but
- 31:19Speaker 1: because I mean, minutes dictate a lot with projection, so
- 31:23Speaker 1: it's easy to compare that way. So yeah, I mean,
- 31:25Speaker 1: if you had three minutes to him right there, you're
- 31:28Speaker 1: looking at like a fifty one and a half something
- 31:30Speaker 1: like that projection he pops off a little more. So
- 31:33Speaker 1: definitely like Donovan Mitchell. Outside of that, if Craig Porter starts,
- 31:36Speaker 1: he's always a fun click at thirty four hundred point
- 31:39Speaker 1: guard is loaded though, no doubt Kolik Simpson. We get
- 31:43Speaker 1: to them, they will be popular but he would eat
- 31:45Speaker 1: into some of that ownership. Keeping a rolling again. Eleven
- 31:49Speaker 1: games on the slate, no time to waste, but we
- 31:51Speaker 1: do appreciate everyone hanging out. Dequ is a point guard, No,
- 31:55Speaker 1: he's a center, but he can handle the ball. I
- 31:58Speaker 1: mean he's a singoon June Dollar tree singo. And how'd
- 32:01Speaker 1: you describe Derek Queen, great passer, great footwork.
- 32:05Speaker 2: Or it's like the evolution and the Pokemon evolution if
- 32:08Speaker 2: you've seen that meme on Twitter.
- 32:10Speaker 1: No, I was a Yu yoh boy growing up, not
- 32:12Speaker 1: a Pokemon.
- 32:13Speaker 2: Okay, well everybody here knows Pokemon was like the chars
- 32:16Speaker 2: are chart mandered thing, and it was like it used
- 32:19Speaker 2: to be Sengoon Sabonis, Jokic, but now it's Queen Sengoon.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Yok Yeah, all right, all right, Weiser fans, all right, Tyler, alright, Tyler,
- 32:29Speaker 1: very funny, very funny. All right, we'll keep it rolling.
- 32:32Speaker 1: Next game. I'm just like the Milwaukee Bucks taking on
- 32:35Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers one in that point. Favorites are the
- 32:38Speaker 1: Bucks to eighteen and a half total, the lowest on
- 32:40Speaker 1: the slate. Injuries in this one. Buck's still without Yannis.
- 32:44Speaker 1: As far as the Pacers no, Isaiah Jackson, TJ. McConnell questionable.
- 32:49Speaker 1: All I gotta say is if Bobby Portis is going
- 32:51Speaker 1: to continue to play thirty nine minutes, which he's gotten
- 32:53Speaker 1: back to back games, I will definitely play Bobby Portis
- 32:56Speaker 1: anytime he has that price to day or power forward
- 32:59Speaker 1: and said eligible, which is nice as well. Again, they're
- 33:02Speaker 1: projecting thirty minutes. Do you expect him to start again?
- 33:05Speaker 1: Do you think he's playing mid thirties? If so, I
- 33:08Speaker 1: don't know how we don't click that name man, Kevin
- 33:10Speaker 1: Porter Junior. It's crazy to see him at eighty seven
- 33:12Speaker 1: hundred and get ownership. But I mean, yeah, the dude
- 33:15Speaker 1: just absolutely chucks. He's a bucket getter. But yeah, what
- 33:19Speaker 1: do you think of that price tag? I do not
- 33:20Speaker 1: have much interest on the pacer side.
- 33:23Speaker 2: Yeah, Before I go into this game, I wanted to
- 33:25Speaker 2: touch on the Jordan Poole questional text. I actually do
- 33:28Speaker 2: think that would make Jeremiah Fears and Jose Elvarado much
- 33:31Speaker 2: more interesting because they're cheap four point six ga and
- 33:33Speaker 2: four K. I think that those who would split the
- 33:35Speaker 2: point guard minutes fully with no pool and I actually
- 33:38Speaker 2: think that Fears would be a pretty high upside option,
- 33:40Speaker 2: so I wanted to shut out.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Would you compare them to Simpson and Colic right now?
- 33:44Speaker 1: Two value guards projecting to get a good amount of.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Ownership, which Simpson is it kJ Yeah, I don't think
- 33:52Speaker 2: that he will now because LaMelo, I think.
- 33:55Speaker 1: That was kind. That was yeah, yep, yep, I my
- 34:00Speaker 1: numbers were wrong there, So Colic's definitely going to get there.
- 34:02Speaker 1: But yeah, I.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Would like Colic could still be. He's the best right
- 34:05Speaker 2: in the slate by a wide margin.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Yep, one percent. Yeah, that was my number was wrong there,
- 34:11Speaker 1: keep going actually yeah, Actually, first before we do, I'll
- 34:14Speaker 1: just say for me because I'm not like Rio is
- 34:17Speaker 1: so so in depth with all this stuff. I don't
- 34:19Speaker 1: mess with anything when it comes to NBA and with
- 34:21Speaker 1: all that late swap stuff and all that, it's so
- 34:24Speaker 1: hard for me, So I kind of let Saber take
- 34:26Speaker 1: the wheel. But Rio, I know you do a lot.
- 34:28Speaker 1: You do this stuff pre flop too, and if then
- 34:30Speaker 1: scenarios right yeah, yeah yeah, And but for handbuilding stuff,
- 34:35Speaker 1: if like I'm I would listen to the Rio stuff
- 34:37Speaker 1: and then I wouldn't do that myself when I am handbuilding.
- 34:40Speaker 1: But yeah, Rio's a lot more in tune with the
- 34:44Speaker 1: NBA and all that. So he does a pre flop.
- 34:46Speaker 1: I obviously don't, but yeah, keep going.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, So this game the Milwaukee Indye, I think
- 34:54Speaker 2: it's a pretty good game to tack. This one definitely
- 34:55Speaker 2: has some upside. You see a close spread, low total.
- 34:59Speaker 2: But these games are kind of struggling, I would say
- 35:02Speaker 2: on both ends of the court. Pacers are bottom seven
- 35:05Speaker 2: in defensive rating and offensive rating this month. Milwaukee's bottom
- 35:09Speaker 2: eight and bottom four defense offense. So I don't really
- 35:13Speaker 2: know which which stat is going to trump here. If
- 35:15Speaker 2: it's going to be more of an offensive game, I
- 35:17Speaker 2: feel like we probably get some decent amount of scoring
- 35:20Speaker 2: this game. The Milwaukee stuff pretty quick to break down.
- 35:24Speaker 2: It's KPJ. I mean, he's had one of the best
- 35:26Speaker 2: roles in the league since Giannis has come out or
- 35:28Speaker 2: been out of the lineup been about six games I
- 35:31Speaker 2: think without Yannis this season, he is a twenty seven
- 35:33Speaker 2: percent usage rate, forty seven percent assist percentage of nine
- 35:36Speaker 2: percent rebounding rate, to go along with seven pointy eight
- 35:39Speaker 2: minutes a touch time, which is third in the NBA
- 35:41Speaker 2: over that span, averaging forty eight draftings points per game.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Should run into a little bit of a tougher matchup
- 35:48Speaker 2: versus Right. Sorry, Andrew neimhard, but the Indie defense against
- 35:53Speaker 2: the pick and roll has not been that great this
- 35:55Speaker 2: season from a point per possession perspective, they are bottom
- 36:00Speaker 2: eight ish, So it's a fine spot for KPJ.
- 36:04Speaker 1: He's got a ton of upside.
- 36:05Speaker 2: He's always had this upside if you remember back in
- 36:07Speaker 2: the Houston days when they were they were bad, and
- 36:09Speaker 2: he's always had a ton of talent, and now he's
- 36:12Speaker 2: really just being asked to do everything for Milwaukee. So
- 36:15Speaker 2: I think if he's gonna be that low owned, he
- 36:17Speaker 2: does have sixty plus point upside. I really like KPJ
- 36:20Speaker 2: in this matchup. And then yeah, Bobby Portis is starting.
- 36:24Speaker 2: He's gonna be really tough to overlook. I mean, even
- 36:26Speaker 2: if he's playing thirty two minutes, I feel like he's
- 36:28Speaker 2: a really solid option. The Pacers are dead last in
- 36:31Speaker 2: rebounding this month. I've always been a team that struggles
- 36:34Speaker 2: to defend on the interior, and he's played thirty nine
- 36:36Speaker 2: minutes and back to back game, So he's got a
- 36:38Speaker 2: ton of upside. And I don't even think that we've
- 36:41Speaker 2: really seen the true ceiling from him yet forty seven
- 36:44Speaker 2: two games ago, it's probably the most that he's scored
- 36:46Speaker 2: the season, but I think he's still got like fifty
- 36:49Speaker 2: to definitely fifty point upside. So I'll be getting into
- 36:52Speaker 2: a ton of Bobby Portis tonight, and then Kuzma and
- 36:56Speaker 2: Miles Turner are the two guys I would sprinkle and
- 36:57Speaker 2: probably don't want Portis with Turner, and I probably don't want.
- 37:01Speaker 1: Kuzma with KP Jakes.
- 37:02Speaker 2: I feel like when Kuzma spikes for a big game,
- 37:05Speaker 2: it's probably in the multi stat way where maybe even
- 37:10Speaker 2: the rebound he might want max one of like Portis, Kuzman,
- 37:14Speaker 2: Turner for sure max two of those three, probably just
- 37:15Speaker 2: max two overall, Milwaukee I think would cover it. And
- 37:19Speaker 2: then for Indy, I don't think that anything is really
- 37:22Speaker 2: a priority in particular. Milwaukee does struggle a little bit
- 37:26Speaker 2: to defend the Wings, So Siakama is okay. I think
- 37:29Speaker 2: that for you to get to Andrew nemhard, you're gonna
- 37:31Speaker 2: need TJ out, But even then he's not really a
- 37:33Speaker 2: priority because he's only averaging just around one fantasy point
- 37:36Speaker 2: per minute, So nothing really stands out in a big
- 37:40Speaker 2: way for Indy here.
- 37:41Speaker 1: I think Milwaukee site is much much better. Yeah, I
- 37:44Speaker 1: wanted to shout out cheats two for the Hunter k
- 37:46Speaker 1: ship or yesterday solo on fandom. That's very tough to
- 37:49Speaker 1: do at that San fran defense, and shout out to
- 37:52Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if it was Colt fan
- 37:54Speaker 1: or whatever the name he's not watching. Who knows a
- 37:56Speaker 1: single bullet three hundred thousand dollars couldn't imagine that, So yeah,
- 38:01Speaker 1: shout out to YouTube solo shipping their respective sites in
- 38:04Speaker 1: a wild game. I was cheering for Philip Rivers at
- 38:07Speaker 1: the end, but man, it's Philip Rivers has definitely exceeded
- 38:11Speaker 1: my expectations. So I know it's the NBA show, but
- 38:13Speaker 1: anytime you win one hundred k, you gotta shout that out.
- 38:15Speaker 1: Happy holidays to you as well. Sheets. I got really
- 38:19Speaker 1: nothing more to add there. The Bobby. I guess what
- 38:21Speaker 1: do you think Bobby Portis ownership will be thirty three
- 38:23Speaker 1: percent where Saber has It sounds about right.
- 38:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I think people are probably catching
- 38:29Speaker 2: on to it. I feel like it's probably higher in
- 38:32Speaker 2: single entry. Yeah, but even then, I still think he's
- 38:35Speaker 2: a pretty solid play. He's not I think he's honestly
- 38:38Speaker 2: being under projected right now.
- 38:40Speaker 1: I mean, if those are the minutes he's being projected
- 38:43Speaker 1: for around the industry, even close, Like that's just wrong.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Like thirty thirty minutes is just wrong. Assuming he starts,
- 38:49Speaker 1: he's played thirty nine back to back games. Yeah, they
- 38:52Speaker 1: need him. I mean the Bucks and this team. This
- 38:54Speaker 1: team is it's hard to watch these guys. I mean
- 38:57Speaker 1: Kuzma's cheeks, Kevin Porter, Yeah, he's a score, but that's
- 39:00Speaker 1: about it. It's sad. John's probably eventually gonna go. Don't
- 39:06Speaker 1: you think it.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Seems that way? I mean, you don't think that zach
- 39:10Speaker 2: Lavine is enough to get Giannest to.
- 39:11Speaker 1: Say, yeah, zach Lavine. They've been talking about that dude
- 39:14Speaker 1: for years. It seems come on, yeah, I'll let Rio
- 39:19Speaker 1: talk about that. I mean, if he's off the bench,
- 39:21Speaker 1: what the minutes, you have to definitely project it a
- 39:25Speaker 1: lot lower, and then it makes a little tougher. Hey, Yeah,
- 39:27Speaker 1: I would. I would probably be caught.
- 39:30Speaker 2: You just would need to get it, like run into
- 39:32Speaker 2: the perfect situation for him to really spike for big minutes.
- 39:35Speaker 1: I would.
- 39:35Speaker 2: I would be I don't think i'd be doing anybody
- 39:39Speaker 2: like anything like I would be doing somebody a disservice,
- 39:43Speaker 2: just like tout Bobby Poras coming off the bench, I
- 39:45Speaker 2: think you do need him to start?
- 39:47Speaker 1: Does that would that make Kevin Porter more appealing, more
- 39:51Speaker 1: usage to go around with the starting unit more staggered minutes.
- 39:55Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly what it looks like with those
- 39:58Speaker 2: guys share in the court. If you give me a second,
- 40:00Speaker 2: can pull it up, but I would I would imagine.
- 40:01Speaker 2: I don't think that Portos is really that big of
- 40:04Speaker 2: a usage guy.
- 40:04Speaker 1: I feel like.
- 40:05Speaker 2: Staggering Ryan Rawlins and KPJA away from each other has
- 40:08Speaker 2: been good for him from a like a usage and
- 40:11Speaker 2: like role standpoint. I honestly feel like it's Kusma that
- 40:15Speaker 2: takes away more from him. But I could be could
- 40:17Speaker 2: be wrong.
- 40:17Speaker 1: There, No, that makes sense. It's eleven games. The moral
- 40:21Speaker 1: of the story. If Bobby isn't isn't starting, he definitely
- 40:25Speaker 1: goes down in a peal. I think KPJ is still fine,
- 40:27Speaker 1: but yeah, it is sad. He does deserve better. I hope,
- 40:30Speaker 1: I hope he does whatever he wants. He did enough
- 40:33Speaker 1: for the city of Milwaukee. All right, let's go from Well,
- 40:36Speaker 1: Janni is one of the best players in the NBA too,
- 40:38Speaker 1: probably still the best player in the NBA. Jokic and
- 40:42Speaker 1: Denver taking on the Dallas Mavericks. Hey, a little a
- 40:44Speaker 1: d Jokic action, This will be pretty fun. We got
- 40:47Speaker 1: a two thirty six and a half total six and
- 40:50Speaker 1: that point favorites are the Nuggets. Absolutely blew out the
- 40:53Speaker 1: Utah Jazz yesterday, so no worry for the back to
- 40:56Speaker 1: back with the minutes on Denver. Looking at the injury
- 40:59Speaker 1: report in this one and Dwight Powell, someone just said
- 41:02Speaker 1: he was questionable. I think he's not yet now downgraded
- 41:04Speaker 1: to doubtful. Don't think that means absolutely anything. We also
- 41:07Speaker 1: have PJ. Washington and Brandon Williams questionable, Klay Thompson doubtful,
- 41:13Speaker 1: Max Christie doubtful. So laundry list of injuries on the
- 41:17Speaker 1: Dallas side. Nothing to note for Denver. I mean you
- 41:20Speaker 1: can always play Jokic in a competitive game. He was
- 41:23Speaker 1: on pace yesterday, just completely completely. Nuke twelve seven is
- 41:26Speaker 1: a big price take, but we do have enough value
- 41:28Speaker 1: on this slate to make it work if you would like.
- 41:31Speaker 1: I do think he'll be more popular on FanDuel twelve
- 41:34Speaker 1: point six. K Yes, but it is a onesie position
- 41:38Speaker 1: and there's a lot of value over there at colk
- 41:42Speaker 1: La Rabias and Clarkson Flapowski's cheaper on FanDuel than DK,
- 41:47Speaker 1: maybe it'll be pretty similar. But even at that very
- 41:49Speaker 1: big price, take Joki will be played at what how
- 41:53Speaker 1: many Fantasy points do you want from him to be
- 41:55Speaker 1: like a good player, like to be scared to fade.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Him, It would need to be like seventy five plus
- 42:01Speaker 2: at this priced tag.
- 42:03Speaker 1: The underway, Yeah, I will be.
- 42:07Speaker 2: I mean you could, like you could always play Yokic
- 42:10Speaker 2: and there's gonna be enough value on the slate to
- 42:12Speaker 2: get up to him. But I do think the matchup
- 42:15Speaker 2: is a little bit tougher now with Anthony Davis playing center.
- 42:18Speaker 2: I think that definitely hurts his upside a little bit.
- 42:21Speaker 2: But like you said at the top of these guys
- 42:24Speaker 2: are very well rested. Neither of them, neither between Jokiri
- 42:28Speaker 2: Murray played the fourth quarters. His guys should be good
- 42:30Speaker 2: to go for full minutes an games, should be able
- 42:33Speaker 2: to stay competitive throughout their seven point favorites. But it's
- 42:36Speaker 2: or six and a half point favorites on the road,
- 42:39Speaker 2: so they did have a travel day for a back
- 42:41Speaker 2: to back, which is always a little bit tougher. It's
- 42:45Speaker 2: really just late dependent on if you can get to Yokic.
- 42:47Speaker 2: I don't really think that when you talk about the
- 42:48Speaker 2: matchup too much because he's just such an elite player
- 42:52Speaker 2: and permittent producer. I do think that the matchup is
- 42:56Speaker 2: pretty solid for Jamal Murray though, well, the way that
- 43:01Speaker 2: the Mavis played defense, they have been really good at
- 43:02Speaker 2: taking away off ball scoring, but been a lot worse
- 43:06Speaker 2: with their on ball defense or pick and roll defenses
- 43:08Speaker 2: towards the bottom half of the league. So a pretty
- 43:10Speaker 2: good spot for Jamal Murray and not a good spot
- 43:12Speaker 2: for guys like Peyton Watson and Cam Johnson. I want
- 43:14Speaker 2: whoever's going to have the ball in their hands the most.
- 43:17Speaker 2: Obviously the tw you score fantasy points, but I think
- 43:19Speaker 2: that it's going to be a lot of the two
- 43:21Speaker 2: man game between Yoki Chi Murray. So those are really
- 43:23Speaker 2: the only two guys that I'm considering for Denver tonight.
- 43:26Speaker 2: For Dallas, the main appeal for Anthony Davis is that
- 43:28Speaker 2: he has power forward eligibility, but he's also playing a
- 43:32Speaker 2: ton of minutes right now, and with all the depth
- 43:36Speaker 2: that they are lacking at center. We're probably playing probably
- 43:39Speaker 2: expecting like thirty five plus minutes from Ad, which is
- 43:42Speaker 2: really good for a guy that's probably around like a
- 43:44Speaker 2: one point five ish Fantasy point panted producer on average,
- 43:47Speaker 2: so he's always in play. Does have a little bit
- 43:49Speaker 2: of fou risk against Joki, but I think he's a
- 43:51Speaker 2: good enough defender to defend without fouling. So I do
- 43:54Speaker 2: like a d a good bit and then the Q
- 43:58Speaker 2: tags on. I think PJ is still questionable if I'm
- 44:00Speaker 2: not mistaken. Yeah, I mean you have dalfa tech good.
- 44:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm still seeing questionable, Okay, Yeah, so that
- 44:07Speaker 1: would be doubt Phil Powell.
- 44:09Speaker 2: That would really change a lot because PJ and Brandon
- 44:12Speaker 2: Williams are two guys that would open him a ton
- 44:15Speaker 2: of minutes for Ryan Nemhard for one, with no Brandon Williams,
- 44:18Speaker 2: they would get a little bit more backup point guard
- 44:20Speaker 2: run with d Low, I think both those guys would
- 44:23Speaker 2: be in a pretty good spot. I would definitely be
- 44:24Speaker 2: max one of those two because I don't expect them
- 44:26Speaker 2: to overlap. I actually no, I take that back, because
- 44:29Speaker 2: Nemhard is only four point three K, d Lo is
- 44:31Speaker 2: three point two K with shooting guard eligibility, So a
- 44:35Speaker 2: combined price tag of seven point five K is I
- 44:38Speaker 2: think you could definitely get six X from those guys combined.
- 44:41Speaker 2: So I'd actually be okay with those two guys together.
- 44:46Speaker 2: And yeah, I think that Nemhard would actually be really good.
- 44:49Speaker 2: The last time Brandon Williams missed the game was against Utah.
- 44:52Speaker 2: He had a double double in that game, around thirty
- 44:54Speaker 2: eight d K points for PJ. Who gets those minutes?
- 44:58Speaker 2: I think it would probably be Caleb Martin. I don't
- 45:00Speaker 2: know if that means that he would start. He probably would, though,
- 45:05Speaker 2: I would imagine because I don't they really have nobody.
- 45:08Speaker 2: They have no wing depth tonight with Max Christy and
- 45:13Speaker 2: and Klay Thompson out, so it would have to be
- 45:15Speaker 2: Kayleb Martin. I mean, I don't know how you don't
- 45:17Speaker 2: play him at three K with small forward power forward eligibility,
- 45:21Speaker 2: two of the worst positions to fill out on a
- 45:24Speaker 2: normal basis. It actually might be they might just slide
- 45:27Speaker 2: eighty down to the four. Go Gafford at the five.
- 45:31Speaker 2: Do you have any thoughts there on what they would do?
- 45:33Speaker 1: I do not, I'm not gonna pretend I do. But
- 45:35Speaker 1: let's say they do go Martin. Does that add Jokic
- 45:39Speaker 1: a little more appeal because his salary becomes I mean
- 45:42Speaker 1: it's the easiest Stars and Scrubs slate of all time.
- 45:45Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, because then you could just you could
- 45:47Speaker 2: go with d Lo and Caleb Martin, if brand William.
- 45:50Speaker 1: And Colwick and I mean, you could have all the
- 45:52Speaker 1: money in the world, which makes the Johnson giddy games
- 45:55Speaker 1: like game sack. We talked with the d Mitch you
- 45:57Speaker 1: can pretty I mean, salary comes a lot less, So
- 46:00Speaker 1: that was my only thought there. I don't have a
- 46:02Speaker 1: lean what they do, though.
- 46:03Speaker 2: It feels like the Stars and Scrub slates have been
- 46:06Speaker 2: less needed this season, But I think a lot large
- 46:09Speaker 2: part of that is because we haven't really had on
- 46:13Speaker 2: a lot of slates.
- 46:14Speaker 1: I feel like an average of the slates have been
- 46:16Speaker 1: a lot shorter too. Yeah, like we don't. I mean
- 46:18Speaker 1: now this time of year with Chriss like people, our
- 46:22Speaker 1: teams already rest people more. This time of year, illnesses
- 46:24Speaker 1: are more popular. The slate's really big, like when we
- 46:27Speaker 1: get to the Knicks stuff. It just it feels like
- 46:30Speaker 1: we haven't had as many slates like this as we
- 46:32Speaker 1: have in the past. I mean, just like two years ago.
- 46:34Speaker 1: It feels like this time of year, every single slate,
- 46:36Speaker 1: I mean, the injury report was like this. It feels
- 46:38Speaker 1: like it's been a little better with the NBA Cup stuff.
- 46:42Speaker 2: Yeah, this is always a The scheduling has always been
- 46:45Speaker 2: a little bit weirder around this time of year, like
- 46:47Speaker 2: you said, with the NBA Cup stuff, and then also
- 46:51Speaker 2: Christmas there's no days tomorrow, so he had.
- 46:52Speaker 1: A jam in every single team tonight.
- 46:54Speaker 2: I was just like, I think Thursday we had a
- 46:56Speaker 2: eleven games slates. I was just gonna look at what
- 46:59Speaker 2: the perfect lineup that day, because anytime there's a big sled,
- 47:01Speaker 2: you're getting a ton of value.
- 47:04Speaker 1: It is worth noting Dallas does both these teams do
- 47:06Speaker 1: play on Christmas Day as well, so I don't know.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Maybe that does leave PJ and Brandon resting a little bit.
- 47:14Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's why we're backloading eight pm Eastern.
- 47:17Speaker 1: If you're not really playing the seven pm Eastern games,
- 47:20Speaker 1: you hope you get the news prior to the seven
- 47:22Speaker 1: to thirty lot because obviously a lot of games do
- 47:24Speaker 1: lock then, and a lot of very important games. So yeah,
- 47:27Speaker 1: have your notifications on like always being the discord shout
- 47:30Speaker 1: out to Rio always in there helping out projection team
- 47:34Speaker 1: gets it always updated as well. So I mean, if
- 47:36Speaker 1: you're playing NBA like always, but especially tonight, you have
- 47:38Speaker 1: to be around your computer, anything anything else in this
- 47:44Speaker 1: one obviously a lot the Brandon Williams, the PJQ tags
- 47:47Speaker 1: are important, and then what they do with their starting
- 47:49Speaker 1: lineup dictates a lot. Yeah.
- 47:52Speaker 2: I mean if both those guys miss, I think ad
- 47:55Speaker 2: is a really great play. I think Nausea becomes a
- 47:58Speaker 2: lot better. I think them hard would be up there
- 48:01Speaker 2: with one of the better value plays on the slates.
- 48:02Speaker 2: Still would prefer Tyler Kolek, but I would have a
- 48:05Speaker 2: lot of interest in nemhrten. Like I said, with the
- 48:07Speaker 2: Dlo stuff, imagine he's probably seeing low twenties minutes.
- 48:13Speaker 1: I guess there would be a chance twenties usage. I'll
- 48:16Speaker 1: take that all day long.
- 48:17Speaker 2: With Delo, I guess it would be Max two of Nemhart,
- 48:20Speaker 2: Dilo and Jen Hardy because I think that all three
- 48:22Speaker 2: of those guys would see the court and one of
- 48:25Speaker 2: them is going to be left out, and I think
- 48:27Speaker 2: that there's probably a better chance that Delo plays like
- 48:30Speaker 2: twenty five and we get like sixteenth from Hardy or
- 48:33Speaker 2: vice versa.
- 48:34Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I mean either one.
- 48:35Speaker 1: I always love playing Jaden Hardy when he gets the
- 48:37Speaker 1: minutes to Hooper himself. So yeah, very important injury situation
- 48:43Speaker 1: today for the Dallas matworks all right before we go
- 48:45Speaker 1: to the next game. Again, appreciate all two hundred and
- 48:47Speaker 1: thirty five ye hanging out watching live. Hope everybody enjoying
- 48:51Speaker 1: their time off from work. If you so do hat

- 49:52Speaker 1: There you go, Jordan, Always grinding is right. Enjoy your holidays, everybody.
- 49:57Speaker 1: Let's keep it rolling. Important game right here in New
- 49:59Speaker 1: York Knicks and the Minnesota Timberwolves. We have seven at point.
- 50:04Speaker 1: Favorites are the Timberwolves two twenty nine and a half
- 50:06Speaker 1: total injuries in this one on the Minnesota side, no
- 50:09Speaker 1: Jaden McDaniels. As far as the Knick side, we got
- 50:12Speaker 1: news yesterday. I believe it was maybe two days ago,
- 50:16Speaker 1: but it was Brunson og are out today. Colic is
- 50:20Speaker 1: going to be very popular. Clarkson a good price tag
- 50:23Speaker 1: on fan duel. Karl Anthony Towns will get some ownership
- 50:27Speaker 1: on both sides. Let's look right here, sort in my ownership.
- 50:29Speaker 1: Colic in a tier of his own around sixty percent.
- 50:33Speaker 1: Bridges Towns Heart getting some after that. Nothing on the
- 50:37Speaker 1: Timberwolves side outside of McDaniels. They're healthy, the prices look appropriate. Yeah,
- 50:42Speaker 1: it's really hard to click anyone on that side for me.
- 50:44Speaker 1: But what are you doing in this one? Yeah?
- 50:47Speaker 2: I feel like you don't really need to spend too
- 50:49Speaker 2: much time talking about Tyler Colok. I think that he's
- 50:51Speaker 2: going to start play low thirties minutes with a chance
- 50:54Speaker 2: for upper thirties minutes and is in a pretty good
- 50:57Speaker 2: matchup as well. Minnesota very bad against pick and roll.
- 51:00Speaker 2: I think collect is gonna fill in a lot of
- 51:03Speaker 2: Brunson's role. Obviously not as good as Brunson, but we
- 51:05Speaker 2: saw just two games ago he put up a double
- 51:07Speaker 2: double in twenty six minutes, So we're getting thirty plus
- 51:10Speaker 2: from him tonight. I don't see how you don't start
- 51:13Speaker 2: pretty much all your lineups with him like he's a
- 51:15Speaker 2: I don't want to say a borderline lock in one
- 51:18Speaker 2: fifty max, but I'll probably have.
- 51:20Speaker 1: Eighty plus percent.
- 51:21Speaker 2: I think a lot of good DFS players will probably
- 51:24Speaker 2: sit around there. I don't really see how you can
- 51:26Speaker 2: get away from that. It's just too good of a
- 51:27Speaker 2: value and there's really not a ton of like point
- 51:32Speaker 2: guard is fairly weak for the most part on this
- 51:34Speaker 2: big of a slate.
- 51:35Speaker 1: So yeah, collect I think that goes down at all
- 51:38Speaker 1: if the Mavericks stuff opens up and you get more
- 51:41Speaker 1: of those guys or that like eighty percent goes down
- 51:44Speaker 1: to like sixty five percent.
- 51:46Speaker 2: I hope it does, because I think that that's kind
- 51:48Speaker 2: of like thirty five percent of teams are just dead
- 51:51Speaker 2: not playing Colic as my opinion.
- 51:52Speaker 1: But probably not then with you saying, man, it probably
- 51:55Speaker 1: stays there regardless.
- 51:58Speaker 2: If anything, it might just change the the build, like
- 52:00Speaker 2: then you're probably getting more I would say it's more
- 52:02Speaker 2: like Jokic and less Jalen Johnson and ad something like that.
- 52:07Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, but yeah, either way, Kolek is
- 52:10Speaker 2: the best value playing the slate by.
- 52:11Speaker 1: A wide margin.
- 52:12Speaker 2: But after that it gets a little bit tougher to
- 52:15Speaker 2: we through for the non kar Anthony Towns players, because
- 52:19Speaker 2: I think Josh Hart there is a lot of upside
- 52:23Speaker 2: on him just because he has trouble double upside really
- 52:26Speaker 2: good rebounder can take on some ball handling. The numbers
- 52:29Speaker 2: don't really back him up in being a great play
- 52:32Speaker 2: at seven point three k because over the last two
- 52:34Speaker 2: seasons with og and Brunson off the court, he's sub
- 52:38Speaker 2: one fantasy points for a minute, but I think that
- 52:41Speaker 2: he does have there is a range of outcomes where
- 52:44Speaker 2: he can go for like fifty plus. So I don't
- 52:45Speaker 2: want to X amount of my playpool, but I'm a
- 52:49Speaker 2: little a little bit worried just with that being said,
- 52:51Speaker 2: And same thing for Mikhail Burgess. He's getting pretty expensive.
- 52:54Speaker 2: But I think with no Jenny McDaniels on the other end,
- 52:57Speaker 2: should help out these secondary options. And then Jordan Clarkson
- 53:01Speaker 2: is going to have to fill in a lot of
- 53:02Speaker 2: the offensive role left behind by Jalen Brunson. I think
- 53:05Speaker 2: that would come at the expense of Bridges and Kolek
- 53:09Speaker 2: if he were to see more minutes than usual. So
- 53:11Speaker 2: I'm gonna be max two of those three guys. You
- 53:14Speaker 2: could probably toss in Josh Hart in that grouping. I
- 53:16Speaker 2: think that would kind of cover your bases.
- 53:18Speaker 1: And then.
- 53:20Speaker 2: And then also Mitchell Robinson, I think that there is
- 53:23Speaker 2: a scenario where he sees his minutes tick up, even
- 53:25Speaker 2: alongside Karl Anthony Towns, because we do know that the
- 53:29Speaker 2: Wolves are one of the bigger front courts in the league.
- 53:31Speaker 2: If they're playing Rudy Gobert thirty six plus minutes and
- 53:33Speaker 2: they don't want Kat on Gobert, it would make sense
- 53:36Speaker 2: to get more Mitchell Robinson out there. So I kind
- 53:38Speaker 2: of think that there's a little bit of negative correlation
- 53:41Speaker 2: between Mitch rob and Tyler kolek.
- 53:45Speaker 1: Okay, So maybe i'd take.
- 53:46Speaker 2: Back him being like a borderline lock because I think
- 53:48Speaker 2: that there is a there is a scenario where they
- 53:54Speaker 2: maybe play colec like twenty six to twenty eight minutes
- 53:57Speaker 2: versus thirty plus. I think that would come at I
- 54:00Speaker 2: think that would be Mitchell Robinson seeing those minutes and
- 54:03Speaker 2: then just running like a Josh Hart mchal Bridge's cat
- 54:06Speaker 2: offense around those three guys because they can definitely run
- 54:09Speaker 2: things through hard. He's a pretty pretty solid just like
- 54:13Speaker 2: playmaker in general. So I kind of kind of like
- 54:15Speaker 2: Mitch rob a little bit because we've seen him have
- 54:17Speaker 2: massive upside in limited minutes, and it does make sense
- 54:21Speaker 2: to get him out there a little bit more for
- 54:22Speaker 2: the matchup. But I like Kat a ton at a
- 54:24Speaker 2: point five k. Even if Brunson and Ogi were in
- 54:27Speaker 2: I would probably be considering Kat because he's a guy
- 54:30Speaker 2: that should be priced probably.
- 54:32Speaker 1: Closer to ten K.
- 54:35Speaker 2: But in two seasons with the Knicks he's got we
- 54:37Speaker 2: have run like a two hundred minute sample with Og
- 54:40Speaker 2: and Brunton off the court, he's averaging one point five
- 54:42Speaker 2: to six fantasy points for a minute. That comes down
- 54:44Speaker 2: a little bit this season this season because he's had
- 54:46Speaker 2: a little bit of a different role, but I do
- 54:48Speaker 2: think that he's got a ton of upside, probably the
- 54:50Speaker 2: best mid tier option of the entire slate. So I'll
- 54:52Speaker 2: be prioritizing Colek and Kat and then mixing in Hart, Bridges,
- 54:58Speaker 2: Clarkson and Mitchell Robinson in those groupings that I said Minnesota,
- 55:03Speaker 2: I don't really think anything is a priority in particular.
- 55:06Speaker 2: I think Anthony reg Anthony Edwards is a great play
- 55:09Speaker 2: nine point three K, good match up for three point shooters,
- 55:12Speaker 2: but that's about it. I think all these guys are
- 55:15Speaker 2: either overpriced or price appropriately and I don't really want
- 55:18Speaker 2: to play Mike Conley on this big of a slate,
- 55:20Speaker 2: even at that cheap tag. So probably MAX one for Minnesota.
- 55:24Speaker 2: I think Max two and you just be Max one
- 55:27Speaker 2: of all the bigs would would be enough to get
- 55:29Speaker 2: the rules and kind of limit what you get there.
- 55:32Speaker 1: Yeah, I could imagine clicking Mike Conley's name on this
- 55:35Speaker 1: late or I mean, anyone really on Minnesota. Yeah, and
- 55:38Speaker 1: it's been good, but I mean, yeah, he's getting you
- 55:41Speaker 1: what fifty five on a good game, and I don't
- 55:43Speaker 1: even know if that's enough on this late So we'll
- 55:46Speaker 1: keep it rolling. Still got four games, three games to
- 55:49Speaker 1: talk about Oka See Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs
- 55:52Speaker 1: rematch from the Cup Final. Hey, shout out to Mitch
- 55:55Speaker 1: rob as well. Helped we make a little cheese in
- 55:57Speaker 1: that game. Great fantasy point per minute guy seven That
- 56:00Speaker 1: point favorites are the Thunder two thirty three and a
- 56:03Speaker 1: half total. Wemby questionable. I mean, I feel like that
- 56:07Speaker 1: line's telling me he plays. I'm curious to hear your take.
- 56:10Speaker 1: I feel like, okay, see would be a little bigger.
- 56:12Speaker 1: Favorites could be wrong though you're the expert. Okay, c side.
- 56:15Speaker 1: They do have some Q tags themselves though, Caruso, Aaron
- 56:18Speaker 1: Wiggins questionable. No, Jalen Williams and that's the center. Jalen
- 56:23Speaker 1: with an I and then a j Mitchell aj Mitchell
- 56:26Speaker 1: he is out as well. Hooped yesterday what it concussion. Dang,
- 56:30Speaker 1: I missed that, But yeah, what are your thoughts with
- 56:32Speaker 1: that seven that point spread? If Wemby's in, what do
- 56:36Speaker 1: you think it is? And if he's out, what, like
- 56:38Speaker 1: what do you think that is?
- 56:40Speaker 2: I feel like it wouldn't change too much because it
- 56:43Speaker 2: would probably be a lot lower if Wenby was healthy
- 56:46Speaker 2: and playing thirty two plus minutes. But his range welcoms
- 56:50Speaker 2: for minutes is like eighteen to twenty five.
- 56:53Speaker 1: And you don't think that makes up a couple points.
- 56:56Speaker 1: I don't know. I really don't know. I even I
- 56:59Speaker 1: think that's fair. They've been playing on his answer.
- 57:02Speaker 2: They're playing good enough without him to kind of keep
- 57:05Speaker 2: games close, is what I think. So I'm I think
- 57:08Speaker 2: it's really a fifty to fifty whether he plays or not.
- 57:11Speaker 2: I also don't think that you really need to wait
- 57:13Speaker 2: around for too much because all these guys are expensive,
- 57:15Speaker 2: and I like, you're not running to play de Castle
- 57:20Speaker 2: against Okac, so like I think it's a max one
- 57:23Speaker 2: san Antonio. I probably would be fine with Stefan Castle
- 57:28Speaker 2: and that's it. Like I don't really I don't want
- 57:30Speaker 2: to get to anything else on this game from the
- 57:32Speaker 2: San Antonio side. Kind of same thing for Okay, see
- 57:34Speaker 2: these are two really good defenses. I think this game
- 57:37Speaker 2: plays a little bit slower, plays a little bit more
- 57:39Speaker 2: low scoring. Shay is always in play, but you're getting
- 57:43Speaker 2: all the guys back. Jalen Wims's back, Chet's back card,
- 57:46Speaker 2: and Sign's back, Cruso's back, so they're as healthy as
- 57:49Speaker 2: they have been in a pretty long time. So I'm
- 57:53Speaker 2: not really prioritizing much in this game. I think it's
- 57:55Speaker 2: a max one overall, definitely max one from each side,
- 57:59Speaker 2: Castle and share the two guys.
- 58:00Speaker 1: I'm I'm keeping more playpool. Yeah, I mean, look at
- 58:04Speaker 1: the I have it sorted by ownership one point two
- 58:06Speaker 1: nine percent. Kelvin Johnson projected for the highest ownership in
- 58:10Speaker 1: this game. Eleven games late, make it a ten games late.
- 58:13Speaker 1: Pretty easy that way. I would say like these last games,
- 58:16Speaker 1: but I think the Memphis Utah game when we get
- 58:18Speaker 1: there is pretty interesting. This Lakers and Phoenix game though,
- 58:24Speaker 1: a couple guys showing above ten percent, but not too
- 58:27Speaker 1: much ownership going to this one. Lakers favored by or
- 58:30Speaker 1: excuse me, the Sun's favored by three and a half
- 58:33Speaker 1: two twenty seven and a half total. I know they
- 58:36Speaker 1: they they've impressed some people this year. They were huge,
- 58:39Speaker 1: huge dogs to win the division. I know one. I
- 58:41Speaker 1: can't remember what the guy said at poker, but I
- 58:43Speaker 1: don't know if you got one hundred plus something to
- 58:46Speaker 1: one for them to win the division. They're down to
- 58:47Speaker 1: twenty something. Colin Gillespie, he's a baller. I love watching
- 58:51Speaker 1: him play. Another very high IQ basketball player. Nice to
- 58:54Speaker 1: see him succeed. Shout out to Joe. Yeah, shout out
- 58:58Speaker 1: to Villanova and Jay Wright. You're saying you can't be
- 59:02Speaker 1: you can't be black and be I have a high Q.
- 59:04Speaker 2: That's just that's they always call the the white basketball
- 59:07Speaker 2: players high IQ.
- 59:09Speaker 1: Well, I mean he is Villanova, Villanova breeds high IQ
- 59:12Speaker 1: basketball players. Yeah that's true. Yeah, so shout out to
- 59:16Speaker 1: to some j right, Jale Brunson, very high IQ bassa player,
- 59:19Speaker 1: another Villanova guy. But that is beside the points. Injuries
- 59:24Speaker 1: in this one, no Grayson Allen and for the Lakers,
- 59:28Speaker 1: no Luca, no Ruy Hachimura. Yeah, I'll let you take
- 59:32Speaker 1: this one away. I think Austin Reeves is pretty solid.
- 59:35Speaker 1: I think Jake Laurabia is pretty solid. Good price tag
- 59:37Speaker 1: on FanDuel as well. And then Colin Glaski even at
- 59:40Speaker 1: sixty two hundred. Yep, Josh Hart Dante won me some
- 59:44Speaker 1: cheese back in the day there. But what do you
- 59:46Speaker 1: what do you see in this one? I kind of
- 59:48Speaker 1: like this game a good bit.
- 59:50Speaker 2: I think that the Lakers are really struggling on defense
- 59:53Speaker 2: right now. Suns are fully healthy, so a little bit
- 59:56Speaker 2: tougher to get into them on that side. But there
- 59:57Speaker 2: are two guys that are like on the Sun side.
- 59:59Speaker 2: But Lakers are bottom three in defensive rating this month,
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: and they're along a ton of threes right now, over
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: sixteen threes per game. So my favorite bet in this
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: game does come from this one. I'll talk about it
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: when we get to the Sun stuff. But yeah, it
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: was an interesting game. The last time his two teams
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: faced off got very chippy between Dylan Brooks and Lebron James.
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: So I'm hoping that nobody gets into anything like that
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: and gets thrown out early, because I do have interest
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: in both ends. I mean, obviously, with no Lucu, there's
- 1:00:29Speaker 2: so much usage to go around. Lebron is getting healthier,
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: playing more minutes. Austin Reeves will be back tonight. I
- 1:00:36Speaker 2: don't know what type of restriction he'd be on It's
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: been almost two weeks since he's seen any NBA action,
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: but they, I mean, he's probably back to full I think,
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: I don't know if they're gonna limit him to like
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: thirty two minutes, I would imagine.
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: He's under like thirty five. Yeah, like literally never and
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: it feels like, I mean, he's not a guy that
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: wants to come off the court. So yeah, it's interesting
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: he hasn't played for a bit. I pro jacked him
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: right around that thirty five or Saber has it though.
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: Yeah, and if that's the case, he's a really good
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: play because he's been elite with Luke off the court
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: of the season. Both him and Lebron are two guys
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: on prioritizing this game, and I actually think they're both
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: really really strong plays on the entire slate at their
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: respective price segs nine point five for Lebron is good.
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: Eight point nine for Reeves is good as well, and
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: people aren't really going there.
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: I think ownership is pretty low.
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: Yeah, so I like both those guys at single digit ownership.
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: I don't know if Reeves will be twelve percent. I
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: feel like he's probably sub.
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: Ten, especially with these later games. Yeah, Memphis Utah will
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: get some ownership, but I feel like that's only like
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: a Spencer college, Like, I don't think it's the spend
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: ups really, So I agree you have to make it
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: a case to put Reeves in your lineup where Lebron
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: and stuff. I think that Reeves is probably cut in half.
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: Yeah, after those two, I don't think I'll get so
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: much AID, and I think he's appropriately priced at six
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: point seven K. I actually would rather I think I'd
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: rather play Vanderbilt. I think that those two are gonna
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: be splitting the center minutes now. Vanderbilt around one fantasy
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: points a minute, played twenty seven to twenty five minutes
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: in his last two so pretty solid value play. And
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: then la Ravia gonna fill in the power forward minutes
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: for RUI. I think he's really a really strong option.
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: He's a really good rebounder and can do a little
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: bit of everything that we talked about earlier in the season.
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: He's got some multi set up side like, he's a
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: pretty good passer, decent offensive game. So I like La
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: Ravia good bit. And then Marcus Smart, I think is
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: a guy that you should consider. One of my best
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: friends is a Lakers fan. I'll watch games with him,
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: and it's so funny because Marcus Smart has always been
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: like this, but like he'll have the craziest stretch where
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: he's just doing everything for like two or three minutes,
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: but then absolutely fuck up the entire flow of the
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: game in the other two minutes. So we say, you
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: got to live by Marcus Smart, died by Marcus Smart
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: because he's gonna he's gonna win you some games, but
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: it also lose you some some games.
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: I can't remember which game I watched, have like five
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: or six threes, like damn near in a row, like
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: everything was just being swung to him.
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: It was san Antonio san Antonio eight for fourteen from three.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: He was the only reason that they were in it.
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: And then yeah, you see the clip where he's there's
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: one shot to go and he takes the float, gets stuff,
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: they hit it. Yeah, the highs, the highs or highs
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: the lowser lows for him. But I'll take Marcus Smart
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: on my team pretty much any single day. He'll fight
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: for he'll fight for your dollars, I like to say
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: in m MBA's.
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, you see the last game over nine
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: from three, So that's the downside, Like he does have
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: really big upside at times, but extremely low downside. So
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: I'll mix him some smart as well because I think
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: that he can get there. Gonna need some of his
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: on ball defense for for Devin Booker, so.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: Shifting over to the sun side.
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: I think Devin Booker is a really really strong spin
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: up option as well. I probably prefer him a little
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: bit slightly over Reeves here at eight point a k
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: with shooting guard eligibility. He's starting to get healthier. This
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: is his third game back leave from injury. Had a
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: really good game against the Lakers last time out. Kind
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: of needed a lot of free throws to get there.
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: He was thirteen for sixteen from three point or feel
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: from the free throw line, zero for five from deep,
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: but he got it going last game against go and
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: say thirty eight points. I think he's fully back, probably
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: playing thirty six minutes tonight. I think he's a really
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: strong spind up option. Like the stud pairing between him
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: and Lebron or him and Reeves, I think is it
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense. And then Dylan Brooks and
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: Kong Gilespia the two guys I do have interest in
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: and Dylan Brooks over two and a half threes is
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: the That's the bet of the day. I really like
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: that he's the jet or the Lakers are given him
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: a ton of threes right now. If he can stay
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: in the game and not get ejected early. I think
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: that he hits this shooting a shooting the ball a
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: ton right now, Probably some more offense going his way
- 1:04:49Speaker 2: with all the attention going to Devin Booker.
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: So I like Brooks as as.
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: A as a bet, but probably not as much as
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: a DFS option.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: Probably prefer go B with the dual eligibility.
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: Can't imagine I would play Gillespie over Camp Spencer, who
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: will talk about but he is definitely got to consider
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: playing a lot of minutes right now with no Grayson
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: Allen should be very secure for like thirty four to
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: thirty six minutes.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: You think the fields kind of sees it the same
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: as far as like so, I mean Taber sam as
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: Gilespie projected a little higher. Obviously that would come with
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: more ownership for one hundred less, but from what I'm
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: kind of seeing with the Field, I think it'll be opposite.
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: What do you think?
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: What do you think between Spencer and Gillespie Lespie like.
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: I think it's Spencer. I don't know about double the ownership,
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: but I wouldn't. I guess be shocked. Like the industry
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: definitely has Spencer projected higher than Gillespie.
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he should be. I think the ownership
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: will definitely be in Spencer's favor. I would imagine it's
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: closer to like thirty and fifteen for Spencer to Gillespie.
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: Yeah, and it is like point guard. That's where Coleic is,
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: That's where possibly some alice value opens up. So it's
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: kind of hard to play both of them. But if
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: you do, land on oh Lespie I shooting both of
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: the mass shooting guard eligibily, I'm tweaking. I don't know
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: what uh s I looking on Fandel no FanDuel Spencer's
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: shooting guard. I'm not sure what I was looking ig
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: nor that. But Dylan Brooks over one and a half three,
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: so that was the bet. I think it's two and
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: a half two and a half, all right. I like
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: it as long as he does not get ejected. Like
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: someone said earlier, they think he's out by the third quarter.
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: We'll see. I want to see Lebron and Dylan Brooks
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: get into it, that's for sure. Dylan Brooks lives rent
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: free and Lebron saide. It is pretty funny to watch
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: any final thoughts in that game. Others, we will take
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: it to the last game of the night. Nope, last
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: game real Utah Jazz taking on the Memphis Grizzlies four
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: that point. Favorites are the Grizzlies two forty two and
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: a half total in this one. All right, here's the
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: Memphis injury report. No John Moran, no Brandon Clark, no
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: Vince Williams. Cedric Coward is questionable. It's actually pretty big news.
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: Cedar Coward been very good for the Grizzly this year.
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: As far as the Utah Jazz, Lori Markinen and use
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: of Nurkic just out. Flipkowski will be popular. Let's sort
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: by ownership in this game. I mean, that's just wrong.
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: Whereas Flipkowski, you don't even see him. I got to refresh.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I mean I still updated. Yeah, on
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: both sites. I mean you can say, like twenty five
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: he has power forward eligibility not just center, which is
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: very important. Will be popular on both sites. Cam Spencer
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: will be pretty popular and shout out Kiante George. Hey,
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: come on, Lebron, I don't care if you're watching YouTube
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: golf highlights. You gotta know what's going on in the league.
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: This dude's been a hooper. Give him some credit. You've
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: been way way early in the curve on Kyante, But man,
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: the dude just keeps getting it done. Eighty three hundred
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: is a big price, but I'll still play him in
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: an up tempo matchup high total in this one. Yeah,
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: I think you can obviously backloading. There's very good games
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: at seven thirty eastern, some eight eastern games, but I
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: want pieces of this Memphis Utah game for sure. What
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: about you? Yeah, Lebron is just the ultimate performative last year.
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm not sure. I don't even know
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: if he knows it. Like he's definitely capable of playing
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: three more, I think.
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: Oh for sure. I mean he takes care of it,
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: especially when you're jogging half the time throughout the game
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: as well. And yeah, I mean it's not like he exerts.
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: He's not been doing that for so many years. Though.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: He knows one to pick his spots and went not
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: to the hustle and stuff but yeah, he definitely can.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: There's no doubt. Does he want to, I guess is
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: the question. Yeah.
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: I mean he is getting really into golf, so I
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if he's just like, I'm gonna be
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: done playing basketball and just full time golf. But I
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: think he still plays. I hope he does because I
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: like Lebron. But yeah, anyways, this game for sure gonna
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: be one you're gonna want multiple pieces of. Like you
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: said with Lkowski, I'll do the Memphis stuff for us
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: because I think Cam Spencer is one of the best
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: guard players in the entire slate. He's got the matchup
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: going for him, all the touches going his way. He's
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: been really good in the games without Joe. I don't
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: have the numbers in front of you, but I would
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: imagine his touch time is exceeding six minutes. Probably a
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: really strong potential assist as well. But the Jazz have
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: been along a ton of fantasy points to opposing point
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: guards over the last week or so.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: Two weeks along.
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: The second most fantasy points per game, and they're allowing
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: over thirty four points per game to the position, nearly
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: six may threes per game, so I really like Cam
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: Spencer tonight. Yeah, he's going to be in my playerpool,
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: probably gonna be in my single entry stuff.
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: Really really like him.
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: When it gets to the other options, though, it makes
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: it a little bit tougher because I do think that
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: we will get some pretty solid fantasy scores from some
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: non Cam Spencer Grizzlies. Jared Jackson is a guy that
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: could spike for stocks because the Jazz are one of
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: the teams that turns it over over the most.
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: But he's eight point one K.
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: Now Santy is seven K and he hasn't even been starting,
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: and then Jock Landell's five point six K. I would
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: probably be max two of those three guys. You'd probably
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: just say max one of Santy and Jock and then
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: let Jeron Jackson float around because I think that would
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: cover everything.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: The match was really good.
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: For Jalen Wells, but I don't know if he has
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: enough upset at five point seven K. And then okay,
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: Cark Brander is out so far up diabate, but yeah,
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: if Coward misses, that does open some things up. So
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: I like KCP a little bit. He should be the
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: him and Centric Coward have been splitting those minutes at
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: the guard or for whatever you want to call it,
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: and it's a really really good match up for three
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: point shooters. KCP went five or six last game against OKC,
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: should play around thirty minutes tonight if Coward were to
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: miss uh and it's a really good matchup for three
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: point shooters. I would like KCP a good bit here.
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: Then you can get into some cheaper guys like Gigi Jackson.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: Don't really know how much he would play, Yeah not.
- 1:11:00Speaker 2: I mean I like this spot a lot from Memphis,
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: but it's really just Cam Spencer is the one that's
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: really standing out. And then if KCP were starting for Coward,
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: I would like him a ton The Utah side is
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: a little bit better to get to no Nurkic, no
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: Lori market. That means Philkowski will start. It's just a
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: matter if it's gonna be at power forward or center.
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: It's really between Taylor Hendricks or Kevin Love and who's
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: gonna be starting at center slash power forward. I think
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: if it's Love, obviously Philipkowski shifts down to the four
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: and then vice versa, Hendricks at the four, phil Kowski
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: at the five. Either way, Philikowski really good option.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: Six K.
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: He's averaging thirty eight DK points to the un NRK
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: the season, so yeah, really strong option. And then the
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: upside for Kyante is that the Grizzlies have been pretty
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: bad in the pick and roll. He's a pick and
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: roll heavy guard. His games without Lori this season, he's
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: top fifty DK points twice, but did put up nineteen
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: against OKC. I'll give him a little bit of race
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: there because they did get blown out in that game,
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: one of the best defenses in the league. I think
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: he's got a ton of upside. A point three K
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: really really liked the spot for Kiance as a bounce back,
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: and then Collier should get a little bit more overlap
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: with the Jazz being just thin. Overall, he looks like
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: a really strong value option as well. I think I
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: would probably want to set a max one of Kyance
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: and Collier now, because there's a lot of value at
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: the point guard position.
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: If you do.
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: Play Kyance and Collier, then you're probably not getting a
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: ton of collec and if you are, then it would
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: be at util So it kind of changes the way
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: that the entire build of your roster looks. I don't
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: necessarily love playing all three of Kyance, Collier and collec
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: because then you're not you're missing out on somebody at center.
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: So I probably don't want to do that tonight. Uh,
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: do you have any thoughts on that, just from like
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: a build standpoint, because I'm just kind of thinking through
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: things right now.
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: I think boyt Guard's strong enough that I'd totally fine
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: playing three point guards and one in the util if
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: you don't think Collier and Chiante like negatively correlate as
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: much like it just say the Dallas stuff like opens up.
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: But if you're not worried about the negative correlation, I
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: think on this big of a slate, I think point
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: Guard is strong enough where I'd be fine playing playing three.
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't really negatively correlate as much anymore because
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: they have been overlapping a lot more as of late.
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: So Sabersim has where the heck is Collier, yeah, they
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: have like positive point zero two. No, I think I
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: think point Guard's strong enough and it can only get
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: better with some Dallas stuff where I don't think you
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: need two centers by any means today. I'm just thinking
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: obviously the diabate the Diabaatee stuff does make it a
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: little stronger. But I mean, if you're playing Cam Spencer,
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: you're probably playing at shooting at shooting yep. But I mean, man,
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: I think Collier is gonna like this. This projection of
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: Klier is going to go to like twenty six. He's
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: going to be like twenty percent own.
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: I think ownership is updated now on the jazz stuff.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: Cool, let me refresh quick? Wow? Not well, Flipkowski is
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: Collier's not Taylor Hendrix? That's yeah, they have him in
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: the starting lineup. Man, he'd be he'd be mega popular
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: an I think strong enough at point guard getting guard.
- 1:14:26Speaker 1: Oh he's shooting on.
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: Yeah, shooting guard. Okay, we're getting some Philly news now too.
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: Edgecumb is out grime wow, and Dominic Barlow is out.
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: Okay, So that's all those dudes. So like what about Maxie?
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: Yeah that that changes a lot. Yeah, looking at it though,
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: the only three guards that like Kevin Porter would have
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: to be in the mix. But yeah, because Gillaspie has
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: shooting guard, camp Spencer as shooting guard. Yeah maybe maybe right,
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: maybe it's probably not as much of a three point
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: I don't know why I thought Gidey's point guard if
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: you wanted to run that though. Yeah, most most of
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: the optimals I assume probably are two centers now you're
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: talking about. But I wouldn't make a role by any means. Yeah,
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: it's just gonna naturally happen that way.
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Yeah, so finishing is out on the jest.
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: We don't really have enough time to go back to
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: that six ortuff because we're running pretty long here. But yeah,
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: if Hendricks starting and the ownership is true and it's
- 1:15:32Speaker 2: really gonna be forty percent, then I think that's a
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: spot you can go away from. He's just not a
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: really good permanent guy in his career. He's gonna have
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: essentially no usage, just kind of like a three and
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: D type dude. But I don't even know if he's
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: that great of a three point shooter anymore. See, I
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: would I would be a little bit weary about playing
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: Taylor Hendricks at ownership. That's kind of my thoughts on it.
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: And then Kevin Love, if he's not starting, be very
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: careful there because he could DMP. He's done that already
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: a few times already with like no no like information
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: that he was not going to play. It's just he
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: just will or won't play.
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: But if you don't like that name, if you don't
- 1:16:13Speaker 1: have well, I guess you don't have maybe many options
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: if in the lap late window. But yeah, I'd rather
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: play Henrick's forty two hundred center. I think it's hard
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: to click Kevin Love because of how late the game is.
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: You have to have a pivot. I think in place
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: you can't live a zero on eleven games slight like
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: this when four hundreds needed, you would.
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: Need him at the ut Hill spot, and then that
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: would allow you to go to like leave a couple
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: one hundred dollars and go to La Reva or spend
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: down for Vanderbilt something like that.
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: That's a good point. He would be with Philip Kowski
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: being power forward elgible, you can play him there. You
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: would naturally have Love at center. So good call. I
