And we are live welcome to the NBA deeper dive it is Friday January 26th I am Josh Angelman I am joined by Eric linquist and he had very good things happen to him the last time he was joined by me we are brought to you by sleeper we’ve got a seven game slate
Ahead of us should be a fun one some weird injury wrinkles lurking in the distance as well hit the like button subscribe to the channel hit the notification Bell so you know when everything goes live follow us both on Twitter Eric how is your day because I can only assume it’s better than
Mine well with that optimism uh no my my day’s been all right uh just obviously was uh coming away got to hang out with producer Jacob a little bit we did our NFL Indy stuff we worked together more than I worked with anybody else here at
This company um so I see him pretty much every night recording NBA stuff uh nice to get NFL there hoping for a Redemption weekend in that regard but yes uh looking forward to running back Monday success here with you for round two however I will say the other time you
And I did a deeper dive I think we’ve only ever done two together you binked right out of the get-go too so it’s one of those things where like we’re two for two maybe it is your turn I think it was actually like the first show you and I
Did together it was which is too far in the past now to for $30,000 wins yeah three three years ago for you about you know a dozen or so $30,000 wins for me about a half dozen so um yeah dude uh phenomenal stuff that has worked out for
You and I it’s one of those things where I guess yeah you just have a a certain Rapport to be able to like you know be able to work on your stuff be able to be businesslike and not sing like I do on shows with Greg so I can get through the
Day I think maybe you and I are like the best things that happen to each other do we when we our powers unite like the sum of our parts is more type situation that might be it that might be it it’s or we’re able to drone out all of the noise
From everything else and just kind of like focus on good basketball analysis as opposed to like I think this is going to happen I think that is going to happen although that does feel like a lot of my analysis for this slate with some of the guys that I’ve already taken
Out of my stuff so uh it’s going to be a fun slate I like this hour on Friday I could get used to like an hour uh Sprint slate if you will on Fridays I’m going to go hit golf balls as soon as it’s
Done at 5 and uh call it a day I called it a day uh the moment I got off the strategy show I immediately mainlined three beers to try to uh deal with my feelings of Jurgen klopp leaving Liverpool by the end of the year oh no
Yeah I I knocked back knocked back three bruskies and then took a two-hour nap to sleep off those bruskies because I’ve been dealing with my feelings I’ve been crying multiple times today while watching videos on YouTube it’s been a day I’m a I’ve been getting mocked incessantly by my friends which has not
Been great um it’s been a good time it’s been a good time I mean salah’s not leaving so you’re fine you’re still going to be good I think he might be more likely to take some Saudi Arabian money uh now if K’s not around is my
Guess he’s from Egypt right so I doubt yeah we’ll see we’ll see I 150 million uh last year Jesus like that per year right per year no no no well so that was to buy him from us oh got it got it get TR I would assume they would offer
Him I mean probably seven eight $100,000 a week I could probably live on that that’s usually that’s that would be my just thinking about like knowing what some other people got on their way over he would get look I mean he is you know I’ll be charitable I don’t say he’s one
Of the 10 best players on the planet he is he he ABS a staggering staggering sum no matter where he goes Allison I’m just looking at the roster here quick yeah you guys are going to be fine though you’re going to be fine I I’m a man you guy we’re we’re in shambles
We’re in absolute shambles yes you are yeah yes you are that that makes me uh happy to the core obviously thanks appreciate it well look that’s all I can hang my hat on right now yeah so we suck yeah that’s ex that’s exactly true yes you guys being awful is the only thing
Like I watched the full highlights of the snil win uh earlier today that was that’s the kind of thing that I need right now to to bring myself back to neutral yeah you were in the Champions League final last year right two years ago two years ago years I got Co oh good
Times fun yeah I got I got Co at the bar and we lost and it and it like it wrecked me too it was it was real Co not some of the fake Co that’s out there say it’s you me Ben we’re probably the only people who pay attention to anything uh
Football soccer related uh when it comes down to it like like I’m sorry obviously I didn’t see that news I’ve kind of been in an NBA bubble today but uh that is obviously a gigantic gigantic deal Ben only pays attention like Ben has like a cursory knowledge of the Premier League
He’s more of a fifth league in Kenya type dude oh yeah that’s true are they playing on actual soil or is it going to be in a sandfield box because I could see them not scoring any goals in that event yeah he’s like oh they played on
An ice rink today it’s like what he’s like yeah when you bet on the 10th league in Northeast Russia they don’t have ground I love Ben so much this is why Ben is definitely I think he’s like most people at this company’s favorite person to work with he’s the absolute best love
It the absolute fact you ready to do this one we’ve got an interesting slate ahead of us I am and we get out of the gates pretty quick Dallas Mavericks onepoint favorites in Atlanta 244 total and we got a little bit of news earlier today
That this one was going to look a little bit different uh some of these guys project project a little different when Kyrie Irving isn’t around and Kyrie Irving is not around he is out already as is Maxi kleba as is Dwight pal and we have some pretty healthy ownership
Coming into the Dallas Mavericks including 58% ownership coming into Luca donic yes that is a number that is uh being stated right now highest own dude on the Slate 58% to Luca 55 to Grant Williams which need to have a chat about uh 30 and change to Josh green and Tim Hardaway in
The 15 to 20 range on Derrick Jones Jr and Derrik Lively let’s start at the top Luca donic how do you feel about 58% ownership to Luca and how do you feel about that in relationship to 11 to Janis Sansa tumbo well I have 42% more
Than 58% so um I would say that if the Slate started right now I would just be eating the chalk playing 100% And obviously you just saw Giannis two days ago during the Millie during you know that that slate that Greg ended up winning 20K you had the the main piece
You needed was Giannis and TMO at 7% I believe it was like 4% in the Millie yeah he’s obviously a crazy high upside option but we’re talking about a difference in projection of of nearly double digits between him and freaking Luca donic we’re talking a massive disparity it’s over 13 in our
Projections right now the difference between Luca and Giannis in terms of raw projections also because he’s point guard and I’m looking at some of these small forward power forward I I said a name that was really really egregious before this show um the of somebody that
On the Clippers I might be playing a lot of pending how that news drops uh Luca Don I think I’m going to have access to um and it’s just going to be in every single lineup that I put out today I don’t think that that is crazy at all I will
Say I don’t know what I’m going to have at this point because I look at that Gap in ownership of 47% right now and just think to myself like H should I just not play Luca donic and play yanis Sant tumbo instead and just cross my fingers and hope that 58%
Of the field is pseudo dead if Giannis beats him what do you think about the assist rate the last four games here and getting dock in there because Yannis is one of the major things that’s really put him over the edge here is 10 10 n 10
Assists it’s kind of come out of just no not nowhere I mean he averages 6.2 per game but like there’s definitely some kind of a a philosophy change there that they’ve had rannis is just Distributing and doing different things there and Dame is kind of floating to the corner
And if you think that that’s going to continue under Doc and you think that this is going to be the way things are from now on Giannis is definitely a viable pivot because you’re talking about somebody who’s put a back toback 80 spots and is playing within that
Framework of that offense and looks pretty good but I’m a little bit worried that they try to cush it like give some love to Damen Lillard right from the get-go obviously I think more of the Discord of why you’re switching out coaches is is Damen Lillard’s fit with
This team like that’s my impression with it and as such don’t you try to get him involved in some capacity I feel like there’s at least enough worries that I have that Damen Lillard might be handling the ball a little bit more might be Distributing a little bit more here going forward
That I’m I’m just at least cautious I’m I’m cautious about how much Yannis I would be getting to but obviously you’re you’re saying all the right things where it’s like well there’s a massive 50% ownership disparity between him him and Giannis is that probably correct no you’re probably getting negative
Leverage at Luke at a certain point but I mean you run this slate out however many times if Giannis beats him straight up 25 30% of the time probably worth it to make that shot but that’s still 70 65% of the time that you’re looking at
Luca just being the clear-cut guy at a point guard spot where there aren’t a ton of punts not that I think this matters for what we’re trying to do right now um and we’ll get to it I guess in a little bit for Milwaukee I don’t think Doc’s coaching tonight no I don’t
Think he is either but I’m just saying that like I think that this is going to be something that um I think this is something where they’re going to be like trying to make because like you gave up Drew holiday you you’ve kind of made
Your bed here at this point in time like Damen Lillard is going to be your number two here on this team and Giannis and him have to have that Rapport and it has to happen come playoff time it’s still freaking end of January like we have plenty of time until things really need
To be fully operational you still have Chris Middleton who I’m sure you’re going to love like you do on most SES at 6300 but um I I think that just looking at Milwaukee I’m a little bit worried that some of that gets funneled away that that’s just such a crazy I’m not
Saying that this isn’t something that’s sustainable because it’s Yannis but like that triple double bonus on top of the assist rate on top of everything we’ve seen the last four or five games I’m just not sure that that’s the way that Milwaukee is going to be playing going
Forward they still have a 122 implied total but I mean for me I’m just kind of making the case for like I’m probably going to get to some shares of Giannis alongside Luca I think that there’s going to be lineups with Grant Williams if you’re playing him and then if air
Coffee ends up being that 36 minute guy that you can click in for the Clippers um it’s terrible of a fantasy producer as he is it’s going to give me access to both of them I’m just trying to play a little bit of Devil’s Advocate to what
I’m doing as opposed to maybe what is optimal to do what do we do with the rest of Dallas here because you mentioned Grant Williams now 3400 power forward Center eligible just seems like with everybody that’s out knowing that Powell is out knowing that Maxi is also out it doesn’t
Take a ton of like not that Grant Williams is a great per minute dude but it doesn’t take a ton of minutes for him to just be a good pay down option I’m getting to 68% and I don’t have him projected as good as we do I am three
Full fantasy points below us and still get to him so I don’t really see Grant Williams as a guy that I can get away from yeah and we’ll double check I mean I assume that he’s going to continue to start here that was his first start in a
Long time against Phoenix if he’s not starting I think it’s much easier to say hey I’ll I’ll hit a j on that kind of ownership for him I still think he’s somebody it’s viable to get to he’s played you know mid 20s minutes in some
Of those spots so it’s not like he would be somebody that fall out of all of my lineups but what I have him in 61 % of them absolutely not um just something to pay attention to I mean I ended up jamming him at sub 5% the other night he
Ends up getting ejected in 11 minutes really enjoyable experience there um but I am pretty positive that Grant Williams at this kind of a number if you’re just looking for a punt right now barring a lot of news that we still have to come I mean New Orleans we could be playing a
Lot of those guys in the mid-range 4K 5K we have a lot of guys obviously coming up for the Clippers that could potentially look incredible but as it stands right now Grant Williams is the easiest guy to punt with if you’re playing in MH you just kind of click on
It as long as he’s starting you’re fine what do you like here for the rest of the team though you’ve got pretty big ownership coming into Josh Green Tim Hardaway live Le and Jones do you like those guys not like these guys is do you have a bigger stand on anyone in
Particular where are you going for the rest of Dallas because obviously the matchup here is fantastic 27th ranked defense in Atlanta number four in Pace this is a really nice spot and you kind of almost want Trey young to play to keep it like more competitive yeah 101.7
Possessions per 48 minutes you get Trey young back here and you also get defensive liability Trey young out there again so that’s an enjoyable thing for for Luca and Company you end up taking out like dejonte Murray playing at the point there potentially then you know bdon bogdanovich isn’t your world’s best
Defender but Garrison Matthews isn’t coming off the bench to to Flame throw or anything so um for the most part Trey young back is a good thing for this game environment it’s basically a pick them I like Tim Jun I mean we’ve seen him now in this starting unit be somebody that
Uh can be relied on he didn’t start the last two but I mean he could potentially be somebody that could get filled in it it could end up being Tim or sorry Grant Williams going back to the bench that’s just something to be paying attention to there Josh Green’s 4200 small forward
Power forward I think that’s just fine I mean 38 minutes in a competitive spot against Boston 31 in that blowout against Phoenix so I think the minutes are pretty secure even though he’s just a terrible fantasy producer he’s not as bad as some guys will talk about a
Little later they might be playing gobs a minutes to I’m curious about Derek Lively at 5K what you’re planning on doing with him this is the first game of the Slate you get Clint capella who’s going to be in on the other side of this so you should have him come with you’re
Going to get true centers I got to think Derek Lively you put him in for 28 minutes he looks really good for me it’s just a question of like what else shows up later on the Slate you know obviously what time the news comes out later on the Slate what’s your Lively interest
Level I’m dead neutral on him right now we’ve got him projected for 18% ownership I have 22 and that feels pretty good to me like I would I wouldn’t mind if I had a little bit more I wouldn’t care if I had a little bit
Less he seems like a guy you got to get to when you don’t have Maxi and you don’t have Dwight pal you just feel a little bit better about the ceiling in his minutes and it’s not like you’re thinking oh no Clint capella and Ana kongu are GNA be like foul problems for
Lively in any way like Trey young might be but I think you got to take that shot because they don’t have enough behind it I don’t think they’re clamoring to get more ran Holmes on the floor or anything like that no definitely not you’re you’re you’re basically secure him in
The pick and roll with Luca doing whatever they were doing earlier in the season no Kyrie out there like Derek Lively just feels like somebody that you could land on in 10 15 amount 10 15% of lineups would be just fine for it it’s just sometimes you get on these shows
And you’re like oh I need to have a stand and I I don’t really have one I guess with him right now it’s more of like he’s falling into 12% of lineups for me right now in my top 150 and I think i’ would be just fine rolling that
Out come the beginning of the the Slate is there anybody else viable for Dallas that you think is sneaky um like exum’s already 5,500 and we don’t really know how many minutes he can play that seems difficult any Jaden Hardy any Seth Curry is there anything else for you yeah
Lastly 3600 Jaden Hardy was somebody that I had pretty high on my radar he’s up to 4300 now I don’t think you need to take that kind of like guessing game approach I mean he played only 15 minutes against Phoenix he can play 22 23 if he gets it going it’s point but
For the most part uh it’s a game environment that yeah it’d be nice to see Jaden Hardy out there but I don’t think you need to try to force him we have him in for 21 minutes I think that’s about appropriate maybe a little bit on the on the high end there at
4,300 I’m not going to land on him Derrick Jones Jr if you got to him as well he’s playing enough minutes to be viable but pulling a little bit more ownership for a 78 Fantasy Point per minute guy than what I would currently want on this
Slate okay let’s take it over to the Atlanta side then we did get the news relatively recently Trey young in Clint capella in so we are getting a full strength Atlanta Hawks team uh you know minus uh minus Hunter but he’s been out for a while uh 177% ownership to sadique
Bay is the only guy in double digits other than Clint capella oh no clink capella down to eight% now yeah actually so only guy in double digits let me just make sure we didn’t get an ownership update in the last couple seconds 13 minutes ago let me grab that that will
Help that will help so always good to have the best information you know useful useful you always remind me I should have reminded you you always do a good job of being like maybe hit the refresh button Eric like one time and I was thinking that
When we were talking about the last spot but I did it before 503 uh 16% ownership coming into sadique Bay 11% to clink capella he is in double digits he wasn’t prior to that update uh single digits across the board for everybody else is sadique Bay the guy you have your eye on
Because I’m kind of interested in a couple other pieces here from Atlanta yeah I don’t have a ton of interest in sadique Bay I think he’s fine if he falls into lineups for you um 30 minutes 32 minutes life is fine getting to sadique Bay there knowing that he’s a
Point eight Fantasy Point per minute guy Bill small forward power forward he’s fine I think there’s going to be guys that I’m probably going to punt with a little bit later in the program that we’ll talk about or potentially be punting looking at you New Orleans and
And LA but um as it stands right now Trey Young’s the guy I have the most uh most interest in out of anybody here from Atlanta he’s 9400 I don’t know if we just get crazy amount of minutes right out of the bat uh right off the
Bat it was a concussion so like obviously people working out after a concussion playing doing any cardio after a concussion can be something that you know maybe they try to limit his minutes but if I put him in for just like a standard 35 36 minutes against
The Mavericks here on the other end you have an opportunity to to really see something here from Trey young um Dallas overall this season 24th an adjusted defensive rate 10th in pace so they’re up in Pace from where they’ve been in years prior I feel really confident that
3% Trey young being overweight to that is something I’m interested in I’m sure we won’t have to worry too much about Trey Young’s cardio he can just take off on defense like he normally does it’ll be more than fun I I agree with you though I have 12% of Trey young and I
Would be afraid to get a little bit more I am getting to sadique Bay at 5100 I think that price is just a little bit too low for him um but the guy that I like the most I think is ano ungu and I
Think a lot of it has to do with the fact that he just hasn’t been very good lately uh 83 DraftKings points per minute over the last 30 days and you’re seeing that in his price tag now he’s 4600 but they still keep playing these guys like one or two minutes alongside
Of each other he’s playing like 25 minutes a night uh in his most recent games 25 29 23 in a game where neither one of capella or he got the full run they it was a blowout 2627 four out of his last five have all
Been 25 or higher and the only one that wasn’t was a game where no one really played those minutes so I’m intrigued by him from a playing time standpoint especially if he can pick up an extra minute or two alongside Clint capella and I think that he just at some point
Time stops playing like a 083 guy and goes back to the 0 N5 guy that we’ve known for a while so I think he’s kind of sneaky for gpps not anybody that you should be like hitching Your Wagon to but the kind of guy that I like for today Jaylen Johnson’s fine Clint
Capella is fine but I I think Trey young in the gpp here against Dallas is at least mildly interesting yeah we have no idea how like how bad the concussion was yeah again I I don’t know how to factor it and all I see is 3% and then I put
Him in for 35 and I’m gonna get more than that it would appear um I think that that’s kind of the best way to describe it as you said 12% you probably don’t want to get a ton because there is that uncertainty there’s a range of outcomes where he plays 32 or he’s
Perfectly healthy and plays 38 um a projection is basically just taking a middle on that so uh Kung Wu here friends I get it 13 and a half percent usage with Trey young off the floor um you have a 13.8% with him on so obviously maybe a tiny bit of an uptick
Just to have somebody out creating three it’s not going to do a whole hell of a lot for me but I mean for me it comes down to like the center split I mean if as long as we continue to see 24 24 for them each I mean c capella has been the
Better Fantasy Point per minute guy by a little bit of a margin so still probably end up landing on a little bit more of capella but I totally understand aung he’s been playing absolutely horrendous and the usage I mean that’s the thing for me the last four games 12 7.3 12
13.3 there’s going to be the games where he gets to 23.6% he has 12 shot attempts like he had against Orlando because he’s knocking down shots if he’s not knocking down shots early he doesn’t get that same kind of leash so I get that play at
4600 I just think we might have a lot more appealing stuff coming up later all righty schedule for the rest of the day you guys know the drill NBA live before lock coming up next and you know the only way to see NBA live before lock is
To hit the like button on this video if you don’t the screen goes black and you don’t get a show so just stay here on this stream if you want to watch the next show all you got to do is hit the thumbs up it helps us out
Tremendously I also want you guys to use our Avatar I can get you into our stochastic Hall of Fame go to stochastic docomo grab that logo load it up on Kings FanDuel owner boxer Yahoo you do that and finish in the cont top three of a contest of 5,000 or more entries you
Get one month of whichever package you’re looking for at stochastic it’s a $200 value you can get the NBA package for projections and ownership and Sims tool and contest generator lineup generator premium Discord I’m probably missing some things all you have to do is tweet your result at stochastic HF
Show us your lineup show us the contest you were in we want to promote you and we want to give you a little something for doing it I might also add having our Avatar could be a bit of a benefit to you I’m not telling you what it is yet
I’m going to tell you in a little bit but having our Avatar certainly has a little bit of a bonus for you not just for making the stochastic Hall of Fame so we’ll put a pin in that for a little bit later for now we go to Houston fivepoint favorites in Charlotte 223
Total Houston not looking as good as I thought they would earlier today but now we have a Q tag on Jabari Smith we still have a Q tag on Jan Tate only Alper and shenon is in double digits of ownership at 29% we’re showing him as negative
Leverage I also F feel like playing Alper and shingon feels really good against Charlotte so I don’t mind it I am a little under the field which is kind of a bummer and then single digit ownership to everybody else on the Houston side let’s start with shenon is
He a guy for you today uh he is a guy that I have in 20% of my lineup so I’m underweight same as you right now but he has a 28% usage he’s a guy who has a 60% true shooting percentage or just just south of it 59 and a half percent he’s
Got a 26% assist straight he is doing everything you could ask for 21.2% defensive rebounder percentage I mean he is a very good option on this slate my thing is that I think there’s going to be mid-range guys and other guys oh we got Trey young will be limited with
Minutes though so that’ll change a little bit there for me but um going back to Houston I am definitely going to be getting to some albr shenon Maybe not as much as what I would like we just saw Jeff Green play a boat load of minutes
We had an overtime game there so it obviously boosted up a little bit there but 38 minutes if he continues to get the start if you get Jabari Smith out you still have tar een out Jan Tate is somebody that is questionable as well still so um there are ways that this
This looks different than last time out but um Jabari Smith if he ends up sitting and Jan Tate ends up sitting 3700 Jeff Green whatever probably not going to go completely nuts with that in some capacity he ended up getting pretty popular last time out at a cheaper tag
But it is Charlotte so that’s useful it’ll help that even if that happens you’ve got Grant Williams out there right now that’s gonna sort of usurp him because I don’t think that we’ll be projecting Jeff Green for as many minutes as we get to on Grant Williams
So that’ll help to to mitigate the Jeff Green problem at least a little bit I don’t have anything of anybody other than shenon right now I had some Jaylen green earlier today that has all gone away I got one disgusting one and I I don’t know if I’m actually going to
Follow through on it um this is kind of like from the the Ryan pnek School of like finding that Ultra contrarian piece that maybe ran bad last time alen Thompson he had really weird rotations last time out and I I don’t know what’s going on cam Whitmore is somebody who’s
Obviously carved out some type of a role here so you’re not seeing as clear of a path for him as in in previous times but I I guess it’s it’s just Dylan Brooks being back playing 32 minutes playing 34 minutes in spots I think that’s kind of the disaster there but I
Mean I’m just at least staring at the matchup against Charlotte 4,400 tag starting to come down a little bit I mean this this feels a little bit too cute on this slate but he’s a Fantasy Point per minute guy and there’s no reason that it has to be Jeff Green that
Plays 34 minutes in some of these spots if it ends up being those other two out so maybe I maybe I just hit eject on it no matter what but obviously you would need both of those pieces of news to to drop his way for me to even contemplate
It we move on to the Charlotte side of this one and there’s not a lot of major priorities here it’s basically 10% ownership to Brandon Miller 10% to Cody Martin 10% to Miles Bridges uh we have Martin Miller and bridges all over 10% optimal rate as well we’re showing some
Positive leverage for Charlotte I’m 2x in Miller and close to 2x in Miles Bridges I wanted to get a little bit L more lamelo ball that just doesn’t seem to be happening the guard range right there is absolutely loaded but I don’t mind the Miller piece and I don’t mind
The bridges piece I just don’t love the matchup are you getting to any Charlotte yeah it’s it’s the matchup worrisome it’s a little bit worrisome there Brandon Miller coming off of evisceration of Detroit there in a loss of course because that’s how it works but 39 minutes kind of Hit the absolute
High point for what you could ask there I can’t imagine that we’re going to just see 38 minutes for him 39 minutes every single time maybe we do 36 is where we have him projected and and look across the board Lamela ball did not shoot the ball well did not look good against
Detroit I’m a little bit worried that he absorbs a little bit more of that opportunity that Brandon Miller’s just kind of taken advantage of recently I mean 13 and 17 I mean he’s just been really efficient the last couple um specifically that Minnesota game I guess
Not as efficient uh the last few but Brandon Miller the shooting guard small forward eligibility is obviously useful it’s not great to see Houston on the other side because we know imodoka he’s just got Houston playing good defense 113.9 adjusted defensive rating that’s 10th in the NBA you get Dylan Brooks
Who’s been out for quite a bit now coming back into the mix you can make fun of him for a shot for looking like he’s shooting with a backpack like Draymond Green but uh for the most part he’s still one of the better defenders in the entire NBA so not to bring up
Individual defense or anything because this is DFS and it’s also position lless basketball in 2024 but Brenan Miller I’m at the field on probably not going to be making as large of a stand as you are there miles Bridges I’m interested in though 7700 trying to play his way out
Of Charlotte potentially I don’t know if that’s a thing that can actually happen at the deadline I think everything’s on the line or everything’s on the board for Charlotte at the deadline but 7700 there’s still a little bit on that tag for me uh absent Terry Rosier that I
Think I can still land on some of that there more of a known quantity for me 24.8% usage a little bit higher than that of Brandon Miller you’re obviously paying more but I’m looking for a lot of those raw points have them in for 38 minutes I think that’s just going to be
Something that falls into around 10 15% of my lineups no matter what all righty anything else for Charlotte lamelo ball he’s 9,800 without Terry Rosier nobody wants to play him it’s a terrible spot against Houston Fred Van but I mean it’s still a Melo Paul without Terry Rosier
Long term and I gotta at least take some shots considering 2% it’s the same way that I felt about Trey young a second ago before seeing that he’s going to be on a minutes limit I probably just take some of that and move it directly to lamelo we head to Phoenix Five Point
Favorites in Indie 243 total highest owned dude for Phoenix 6% owned Durant or 6% owned Bradley Beal and it’s not much better on the FanDuel side either highest optimal rate for anybody on Phoenix 8% to Kevin Durant I have two shares of Durant even in a matchup against Indie bad defense fast-paced I
Still can’t get to these Suns dudes it’s hard 28% usage so in the minutes that Beal Booker and Durant have shared this season you’ve seen a 30 and a half percent usage here now for for Kevin Duran 30.4 for Booker and Bradley Beal sitting at what 23.4 that seems a little
Bit High um I don’t know what I did or made a mistake in my sheet on but um I I thought they were sitting a little bit lower than that as you said it’s just they’re kind of siphoning off each other’s abilities here we have Eric gouron that as we’re talking about is
Listed available to play so that’s another guy who can come off the bench and eat up a little of usage I mean it’s just so hard on any given night obviously dein Booker had revenge in his heart against Luka donic there but um I I really don’t care it it’s so hard to
Just say this stands out on this team in this spot you’re getting an obvious Pace up spot they have 124 implied total but 9200 6,900 9,300 for those three guys respectively I think the ownership is about where it should be I would like Kevin Durant the most out of everybody
But as of right now I’m with you where I’m just not landing on it is your camera questionable to return for tonight oh no see oh all the time all the time with this stupid thing here we go to the HD we go right we need to
You need to give yourself a profile picture on Zoom so Jordan Klein has that it’s me as The 40-Year-Old Virgin guy getting all getting waxed he has that every time that my camera goes out on these because I need to get some kind of a new computer or something a new
Monitor so I can run my camera independent of all my stuff because as soon as I run a Sim it is toast absolute toast well we know what you were doing I guess uh we’ll move it over to the Indie side uh also single digigit ownership to
Everybody on the team the only guy to get to double digit optimal rate is the dude that I’ve been standing for for like two weeks that’s uh Andrew nard he is 10% optimal he’s also the guy that I have the most of but just 12% I see
Indie sort of like Phoenix but but just like slightly better I have a little bit of Miles Turner I have a little bit of Pascal SE yakum I have a little bit of nard but again I don’t see any priorities coming from the Pacers they’re all sort of priced where they
Should be yeah I was just rerunning a Sim to limit Trey young and to do a couple of other things as we’re getting news coming in and uh Indie was a team that again I think Pascal sakam is GNA be the guy that I get the most of with
The power forward Center eligibility um that’s who I was getting before and that is who I’m getting the most now so that’s good to know uh sitting around 10% but uh it’s kind of a smattering of guys I have a little bit of TJ McConnell you’re looking at the Fantasy Point per
Minute rate that’s obviously why it’s come down over the last few he’s now down to 1.26 the minutes are so hard to know but nard you looked serviceable and you still got 24 minutes last time from TJ McConnell here so I think that I’m still going to end up with a little bit
There uh nard I just wasn’t there for the last time out um good for him 29 minutes looked serviceable for the first time in a while um and the tag came down $5,200 so that’s pretty interesting across the board but uh Benedict Maan shooting guard small forward he wants to
Go out and Chuck he needs to go out and Chuck that’s really the only purpose of him being out there um 23% usage on the season and obviously without uh without Tyrese halber out there if you don’t have one of those games where nard you know is out there knocking down shots
And attempting 15 of them you could see him off the bench be that guy that that can create and get his own shot but for the most part there is not a single thing here that I look at that I’m like I could I cannot live without that but
Pascal seaka at 10% my highest owned uh toga in chat wins chat for the day when your camera went off tolga’s response was linquist needs to like the show which I think is fantastic uh great call back to everything so I appreciate that that’s a

Click that link sign up through us get up to $500 on that first deposit the LA Clippers seven and a half Point favorites in Toronto 236 total not a lot of ownership coming in here round 10 to harden round 10 to Kawai 10 to Mason plumbley just one to to Paul George now
What’s interesting about the LA Clippers right now is that Paul George is questionable for today there will be a little bit of a trickle down effect to James Harden kawh Leonard Norm Powell there I mean your coffee will look certainly more interesting at 3200 I’m just going to open it up to you
How do you want to handle the Clippers uh so I I ran all of my stuff with Paul George out because I thought it would be more interesting to talk about and you look at the last game that they played was December 20th they’re two major things one you had an
Eight-man rotation and two you basically run into a mere coffee playing unlimited ungodly minutes out of nowhere he played 39 minutes in that spot competitive spot against Dallas that is James Harden was already there so you don’t have to worry about trying to factor that in if you
Get Paul George out in this spot against Toronto they’re already carrying a 121 implied team total and James Harden 8200 I’m going to get to an ungodly amount of Kawhi Leonard ungodly amount of at 8600 we’re talking about two of the best plays on the Slate if that news doesn’t
Come down now if it comes out that Paul George is in then well we’ll reassess but I’m still going to be landing on both of those guys I ran one sim where you know I have everybody in just the way that it’s straight off of the site
Here and I was getting to around 15% of Kawhi Leonard in that spot too around 12% James Harden so I feel pretty good about this being a team that you kind of want to get overweight to a couple of the pieces but the very obvious like
Question I have for you is like Russell Westbrook because this is a Toronto team that they can close with Thad young and if they’re going to have Thad young out there for you know 23 minutes and have him close over jonte Porter and jonte Porter basically relegated to like what
19 minutes A Game Chris buet playing 14ish a game I think there’s a really good chance for Russell Westbrook to close in this kind of a spot they’ve been doing that a lot of late it was a complete blowout against the Lakers last time out but Mason plumbley doesn’t have
To close in these spots they do like to go small and it feels like Toronto is like the optimal spot to do that and if I do that and change some of his rate 6100 Russell Westbrook would be like with Paul George out one of my highest
Own players what do you think about him I hate having to think about him that’s for sure yep uh 1.28 fantasy points per minute over the last month um I mean the minutes are just going to be a total question mark you get him like it was on the 14th where he plays
29 or on the 2st where he plays 31 you’re going to be very happy that you have Russell Westbrook um unfortunately bookending all of those games are 18 22 and 16 it feels a lot like Spencer deny yesterday who I didn’t even go and check
To see how he did but I assume since I don’t remember it he was probably shitty was that even yesterday was that two days ago whatever he was playing like 24 minutes a game in half of his games and 34 minutes in the other half so like the
Entire industry myself included was just like all right I don’t know 28 29 call it a day hope you get him that’s what I would feel for Westbrook because clearly he doesn’t have to close in these scenarios clearly his odds of closing are significantly higher if Paul George
Isn’t around he worth a flyer at that point because I think you have to bump up his minutes a little bit I think the first guy you’re looking at is probably Amir coffee he just sort of soaks it up I I think I would just be too interested
In Harden and Kawai at that point but we would have to know like if you don’t get Russ starting and I don’t think you would get Russ starting I think it’s going to be really hard to give him enough okay he’s also very live to like look
Back at 9:30 and he has a rust day and you’re like [ __ ] that’s the dude I should have got to like he’s got the most feel of guy that will make you regret it yeah so I guess so here’s here’s kind of where I’m at I’ve been
Kind of debating what those minutes need to look like I put Russell Westbrook in for 23 minutes because he played 23 minutes and again this is with Paul George out just to amend for everybody this is different from what we have on the site right now but Paul George out I
Put Russell Westbrook at 23 minutes and when I did I got to him in 24% of lineups but the closing rotation is so so important so he didn’t close what happened Jabari Smith ruled out yes available in all right so does jant Tate start or is it going to be like that’s
Going to be an interesting one but um probably doesn’t do a whole hell of a lot for me Jeff Green anything to not have Jeff Green show up in my lineups I’m okay with um agreed but I’m pretty positive all right so we go back to this
Game and by the way the Lakers game got really really out of hand at the very tail end they didn’t need to bring him back in and yes Anthony Davis on the floor is definitely a thing but you go to the Dallas games specifically Russell Westbrook played 23 minutes without
Closing in that spot and that’s kind of where I just landed on it as the default number put air coffee in for 36 minutes had James Harden at 38 had kawii Leonard at 39 those are kind of like the baselines that I’m working off of specifically I don’t think Daniel Ty is
Going to play enough for me to get to him I think you you’re looking at Mason plumbley playing about the same amount no matter what unless he doesn’t close and that’s where Russell Westbrook again you look at some of these recent closing lineups and he’s been in two of them in
Spots that are very very similar to this and it just has me feeling as though maybe I should put in for 25 minutes and just get tons of him in this spot again 31 against Brooklyn 29 against Minnesota and Minnesota with cat and go bear on
The floor both of them were in on that spot a strange closing line if they were coming from behind trying to knock down threes or just spread it out a little bit more and just went super small and said screw it but I’m not sure if that’s
A game script dependent thing I’m not sure how to make Russell Westbrook’s minutes work for me all I know is that I’m trying to have that played out so that when we get to lock so if I see like 45% own Russell Westbrook or something how do I react to that and I
Think how I react to that is just kind of where do I set those minutes at if I put him at 25 26 with a closing like a little bit of a closing rotation I’m going to get ungodly amount of him be over that number and if I don’t I’m
Probably going to be under it’s just such a weird piece to talk about right now but I think it’s a really important one for this slate I don’t think you’ll get all that much um so like let’s let’s assume he’s a 1.25 guy and you give him 26 minutes
That’s 32 and a half fantasy points at 6,100 which is about 5.3x his salary he’s sitting at 6,100 he would be right around Brandon Miller right now who’s projected for 9% ownership so I don’t think his like if we get that and Paul George is out we give him that bump I
Don’t think he’s gonna pull all that much ownership somewhere in that 10 to 15 range so I don’t think you would get get to any situation where you’re just outwardly jamming him in you also have Chris Middleton at 6,300 who’s going to be in that same sort of uh projection
Range as Brandon Miller Middleton pulling 133% ownership so a little bit more than Brandon Miller I don’t think you’re going to get a giant jump unless you knew that he was playing like 28 or 29 minutes okay I wanted to talk through it with you because I I feel like you’d
Have a good pulse on I put him in for 23 minutes I have him just over 30 fantasy points and yeah that’s like 5x but it’s just a guy that I have a feeling that if the ownership isn’t there and if that news comes out after lock that Paul
George is out um I’m just i’ would be worried about how much of him I would actually get to because I do think that there’s some volatility to what his cling lineup spot is for me what’s really disgusting is just how much a coffee I would have if I go from the 13
Minutes we have projected at the site now and just give him all of kawai’s basic or not all of Ka all of Paul George’s minutes basically and just say hey here’s 24 more of these for you and he’s 3200 I think I would just get to him a lot to Toronto we
Go 18% ownership to Dennis shuder 18% ownership to Thad young we’ll call it 18 for Scotty Barnes and 18 for RJ J Barrett as well they’re all in the exact same area I’m getting to a bunch of RJ Barrett I’m getting to a neutral amount of Scotty Barnes I’m getting to a
Boatload of Dennis schruder and I’m not getting to a single share of Thad young very random team for me tonight I’m either getting a lot or none at all what are you doing with Toronto I kind of see the starting lineup um I’m assuming that it’s Barnes Trent Barrett Brown Porter I
Think we get Brown Starting here what do you think I think we get shudder if you if we get shudder then I’m to play ungodly amount of shreer I’m I’m with you 5200 I would play an absolute metric ton we have him starting at the site but
I’m a little bit worried that Bruce Brown plays and goes out and starts here and they just play Scott Point Scotty Barnes which case 8500 Scotty Barnes currently is the guy that I’m getting the most of on this team I have currently around 34% of him um Dennis
Shudder would become that guy if he ends up starting and it’s not Bruce brown but um obviously that would be all good stuff for for Scotty Barnes the that young one is very very interesting he was in that winning lineup I had the other day and I think I only had two
Shares of him um and it’s like one of those spots where everything kind of funneled towards a build where I needed to have a $3,600 Thad young if you need to have a $33,900 center Thad young in your lineups I totally get it 26 minute upside like that’s that’s not nothing
For a dude who’s around a Fantasy Point per minute guy but I’m at least worried on this kind of a slate that if he ends up pulling 20% ownership you fifth of the field really wants to be getting there that they could be getting 18 minutes out of him there’s no reason it
Can’t be more jont pora that they can’t go small especially if the Clippers kind of force that on them I mean that’s that’s something that could really be script dependent as well where what the Clippers have on the other side if Paul George plays probably more inclined that
They could close with just a regular Mason plumbley regular you know not Daniel TY but um that young would be out there for like a normal 22 23 type minutes there but there’s some volatility here and probably not something that I want to embrace all that much there’s some 5K centers
Whether it’s you know somebody we talked about earlier with Derek Lively Clint capella there’s some some guys that I just feel more com comfortable with as opposed to a nearly 4K Thad young but obviously the savings if it does something for you sweet I hope it’s shooter because I have
A ton of him um I also like Gary Trent as a little bit of a sneak at just eight% you know if the shots Fallen the shots Fallen but I will not be getting to Thad young that much I can tell yeah I mean shooters still in play Off the
Bench I have him for 29 minutes no matter what so I wouldn’t have a problem with it you would obviously love to see him start there um but I feel like they want to keep Dennis shudder Off the Bench now that that’s kind of what he’s
Started to do um I think Scotty Barnes just slides overplays point and Bruce Brown enters the starting rotation but you know shter is just fine to get to no matter what but yeah if he ends up starting I’ll put him in for around 31
And a half 32 minutes and I’ll get a lot more of him any anything else you want to touch on here for Toronto Gary Trent’s just a dude RJ Barrett is small shooting guard small forward and the usage should be decent enough there but again I’m I’m pretty pretty much
Underneath on everybody on Toronto outside of Scotty Barnes who I am playing a lot more of than the field the Orlando Magic are six-point favorites in Memphis 212 total and they might look like the worst team on the Slate highest owned dude is 6% to Marquel folz um
Highest optimal rate is 7% sent to fron Vagner the 212 total in this one is 10 points lower than the next closest game and 24 to the closest game after that this is a terrible terrible game environment two very good defensive teams even with Memphis missing all of
Their dudes they’re still a good defens or have been at least a good defensive team uh I have one share of Marquel folz and nothing else if you get to you know a banero or a frons as a lineup pivot to somebody more owned I get it but Orlando
Does not look good today hate him I don’t have anybody I have a couple of shares of fron vogner I don’t have anything else I like Paulo banero we still need like the tag has to keep coming like he’s 8,300 against Memphis I guess it’s probably at an okay spot here
Now they’ve had some really wonky blowouts here of late that have probably helped push these tags down to more playable spots but for me it’s trying to like beat the the wave for France Vagner like 28 24 minutes but both of those being blowouts I think we probably could
See 3435 pretty quickly and I want to be ahead of the curve on that so I’m kind of giving him a little bit of a manual boost just to get to him um before those minutes show up but yeah it’s just probably the least appealing spot I could possibly imagine on this
Slate Memphis kind of feels the same way uh Santi Al dama is the giant Q tag hang hanging in the balance because he did start his last game yeah he missed the last one as did Luke Canard we’ve got 10 to 15% ownership coming into Triple J
John conar Luke Canard and Santi Alama assuming aldama is in and starts I like him quite a bit way more than the 16% that we are getting right now he is a big stand for me and I am taking a pretty sizable stand on jiren Jackson Jr
7700 he is a very different play when all these ball handlers are off the floor he’s got like a 37% usage rate with no Bane Morant Derek Rose or Marcus Smart on now I don’t think that he’s going to maintain that but I think it’s well into the 30s I believe his points
Prop is somewhere in like the 25 and a half range I’m getting a pretty big stand on jiren Jackson I would take some Kar take some Luke Canard but for me it’s Jackson and Alama assuming Alama starts if he’s in yep if Alama starts I’m gonna have way more of him than than
16% um I currently have him in I put him in for 29 minutes uh I think our minutes are maybe a little bit low on him at at 20 what do we we have we had 27 earlier 27.25 okay so same thing 7 it just feels as though you go through the rotations
Last time out he got up to 23 minutes without any fourth quarter run he got pulled out at the 528 Mark of the third he got there’s yeah that’s why I’m saying knee sort it was just he they ended up pulling him there and so I’m saying that like 23 minutes though up
Until the 528 Mark there there’s legitimately 30 minute upside there depending on when they would want to bring him back after that or if he had played an extra minute or two there in that thir so I think there’s a huge minutes upside they very clearly said we
Would prefer not to have a ton of Xavier tman on the floor 16 and 18 minutes uh you know even with a dinged up San Alama there in spots I mean they can go small they can go you know the David Robert Rody Gigi Jackson they have different configurations and you play jiren
Jackson Jr at the five there sweet stuff I like jiren Jackson Jr I wish I was getting to more of him right now I probably will considering his tag got down to 7700 but as of right now because because of the stars and scrubs nature
Of it with some of the guys that I’ve taken out um I’m probably not getting him as much as I would want to but yeah Santi Al dama pretty phenomenal opportunity I think to to get to him I think he’s a little bit underprojected across the industry and if Alama is out
I assume we’re GNA get somewhere in that 30 minute range for David rowy they just don’t have enough dudes that are like his size and if he gets 30 minutes he’s probably like a 15ish percent owned guy and add him to the list of guys that
Look like John Kar and Luke Canard yep exactly anything else from Memphis um what do we think about Scotty Pippen Jr depends who you’re asking uh if we’re going based on us then he’s playing I think it’s still Jacob Gillard so that’s that ambiguity alone makes me not want
To do it I legitimately think there’s a chance that Scotty Pippen Jr starts today I just want it I want it on your radar because this comes out half an hour after Scotty Pippen Jr he played 24 minutes there against you know the Miami Heat like that’s a pretty difficult spot
In general and Orlando has a really good defense here as well but he’s 3,300 gillard’s 3500 I think pre-loading one of the two in is something you should probably do now Memphis has switched rotations or starting rotations more than any other team in the entire NBA this season
I there’s just a part of me that wants to preload one of the two in and I think you could pre-load it with Gillard if you think that he’s the guy who continues to start but like I legitimately think there’s there’s ways where this becomes like you you could
See the Canard just out there playing you know and playing point guard that’s the configuration we had last time out but if alama’s out I think there’s a legitimate chance Scotty Pippen Jr starts at 3,300 and that could end up being the guy to get to because he has a
26 point . 6% usage across you know all of the four appearances who was he with before the Lakers or something um he was with the Lakers okay um I think it’s just a guy that wants to go out and and Chuck and that’s at least a little bit
Useful maybe they want that coming off the bench but I don’t think it’s crazy to think that if alama’s out that’s a way that things could drop if alama’s out I I still don’t think he’s just me personally don’t think he’s starting I think we’re either getting Tilman and we move jiren Jackson
To the four we get d uh David Rody in that spot I think the other starters are going to be Kar Canard Vince Williams Jackson for sure yeah um I mean jiren Jackson Jr played Point basically when Luke Canard was the quote unquote starting point guard so it’s definitely
Something that they can do jiren Jackson Jr brought the ball down the floor in most of those spots if you were watching and like I don’t know something just tells me that they’re not going to have tman out there for more than 16 18 minutes ever again like I I don’t know
It feels like this Orlando spot especially with wend who’s not the biggest of centers out there um with googa now just sent to the shadow realm for God knows what reason I’m gonna pause you right now this is important and we have two more games yet too so
We’re running long uh which doesn’t matter but this is important Scotty Pippen Jr signed his two-way contract with Memphis on January 16th 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 I don’t think Scotty Pippen is under contract to the Memphis Grizzlies right now wow how would we not get that that’s
Wild so assuming I am correct I will definitely not play Scotty Pippen tonight January 16th two-way contract 16 327 I haven’t seen anything that says that he has signed a second today or 10day 10day uh according to ad have signed Scotty piffen to a two-year two-way contract twoyear
Is he on a two-way or a 10day tway tway he’s on a two-way not a 10day ignore me ignore me thought he was on a 10day previous contract was I’m glad we talked it out I’m glad that you know I saw that date and I was like oh
[ __ ] yeah no it’s it’s an important thing to always kind of have in the back burner that you’re paying attention to [ __ ] on like there I’m gonna miss stuff over the course of seven games and minutes here minutes there but like somebody completely being out of a
Rotation would be a little bit of a disaster but yeah it’s a two-year contract good eye yeah uh that would have been very interesting to catch if we could have but yeah two-way contract still there still there and now they’re invested in him so he’s starting there

Avatar Cleveland Cavaliers Sixpoint underdogs in Milwaukee to 38 total we have 30% ownership coming into Isaac aoro 20 to Donovan Mitchell and about 20 to Carris Levert we don’t have anything really interesting for Cleveland still know Garland still know Moy how are you approaching the ownership coming into
Cleveland I mean I’m just kind of looking at the last game against Milwaukee it was you know semi close until the very end of that there and just kind of copy pasting a lot of the same minutes that we have there Donovan Mitchell played 39 minutes last time out
Against Milwaukee I think he’s the guy that very clearly shows up the most for me Isaac kakuro thing interesting 3700 gives you ultimate swap ability throughout the Slate that’s probably going to turn into other stuff at some point can’t imagine we get to the flip and everybody’s got 29% Isaac kakuro
Feels feels Hefty I know 3700 and you know there’s obviously a pretty decent minutes allotment there 24 last time out against Milwaukee but uh that won’t be me getting to that kind of a number here with Carris lever back in the mix um Samano we thank God don’t have to think
About anymore at 5400 that so I’m thankful for that um and then Jared Allen is kind of the last guy where 7,800 all of $100 up from last slate I I think I’m okay getting there but I don’t really have any strong STS on him it’s basically Donovan Mitchell or bus for me
For Cleveland I’m with you I have 32% Donovan mitel right now very happy about it um this is a fast-paced game against a not very good Milwaukee defense I’m getting a little bit of but I’m I’m under on Isaac aoro and I don’t mind it negative 16% leverage last I saw not
Ideal and I do not need anything else from Cleveland on the Milwaukee side Giannis is probable Chris Middleton 133% owned Giannis 9% owned I have 38% Giannis right now so uh the wheels are in motion for the Giannis stand I also have 32% Chris Middleton who I am quite
Confident is underpriced at 6,300 yeah I was getting almost double the field on him 24% and uh thought that if I’m getting 24% Josh is probably getting more of his guy than what I am um so ever so slightly there theis stand is obviously interesting we talked all the
Leverage points up uh going him versus Luca uh Luca is projected way better across the industry as he should be but like at the same time you know Giannis and tenda kmo if this assist rate continues if he continues to be the guy that they just play through every single
Possession and he’s creating all of the offense and Dame is kind of not cast aside but definitely more in the complimentary role rather than a ball handling role Giannis is going to smash a lot especially against Cleveland that doesn’t have anybody from a wing depth standpoint obviously Jared Allen good
Luck have fun enjoy your time uh Evan Mobley he will be missed he will be missed that’s for sure yeah just being able to smash him yeah Middleton Middleton’s a good play I think Middleton’s a good play today and obviously the tag keeps coming down too
I mean that’s that’s the other part of it 6300 is a little bit different for me on this slate where you know there’s only one hour to be swapping around and moving stuff feel pretty good about getting 32 33 minutes at Chris Middleton at 6,300 against this defense that in
Its current iteration isn’t as good as normal I will once again advocate for us bumping Chris Middleton’s minutes projection the Oklahoma City Thunder our one and a half Point favorites in New Orleans 239 total now nothing is all that interesting on the OKC side Shay is
10% owned if you need to be convinced on why you play shil Just Alexander ever uh that you shouldn’t be playing DFS he looks totally reasonable and another pivot to getting to someone like luuka donic if you’re just trying to get away from giant ownership uh definitely a
Smaller ceiling than Luca for sure but you’re also saving a little bit of salary the opposite side of this one New Orleans with the Q tag on Zion that one has the opportunity to really change up the game a bit do you like anything from OKC specifically I assume obviously you
Would be more than okay having sh just Alexander lineups if they show up yep I would uh like SGA and obviously you have 10 and a half man rotation 11 man rotation for Oklahoma City there with Miss depending on what they do on any given day case and Wallace so on and so
Forth like you’re not going to really land on anything if you want to get to a little bit of chat hope that it’s a competitive game he plays his 32 minutes awesome that that’s fine to get to uh Jaylen Williams I know that’s a lot of
Somebody that a lot of people play I generally am just like whatever with Jaylen Williams on any given slate I’ll probably get to just you know a couple couple of shares but the most interesting thing is obviously on the New Orleans side of things Herbert Jones
Larry Dan um you know those are the guys that are currently pulling the most ownership herb Jones will keep that and will be one of the highest own players in the event that Zion gets ruled out as he should be Trey Murphy becomes a more interesting coming off the bench there
Goes from like 21 and a half minutes to you know mid 20s high 20s minutes uh can be somebody that goes out there in Chucks 0.93 Fantasy Point per minute guy and then the obvious ones that I’m going to play no Matter What nuke of the night
If you will Brandon Ingram 1.15 Fantasy Point per minute guy did you know Josh that the New Orleans Pelicans in 2024 have played 10 games only one of them has been been decided by less than double digits every single game New Orleans has played has been in absolute
Blowout oh there comes the nuke of the night here as I’m talking but uh 7600 Brandon Ingram 7200 CJ McCollum just absolutely Jam in the event that you get no Zion Williamson out there that just is too good to believe up against Oklahoma City good defense but Pace the
Pace is absolutely there is there a graphic for nuke of the night there is a graphic for nuke of the night it was going as I was talking through it okay but it’s it’s a video it was a video that that goes pa George to play what
The hell there you go is it you like superimposed onto oppenheimer’s face or anything like that because that could be a pretty good one you just press the he presses the button but it’s you that would be pretty great I’m great at this man what’s Jordan Klein doing what are
We doing to fill his hours like come on now he’s probably just popping zins and doing dumb stuff like he normally does in a tank do yeah it’s just a video of me getting my dick blown off that’s that’s basically what that is every single time oh I got a couple videos
Like that but not the way that you mean it anyway that’s the end of the deeper dive folks if you want to watch NBA live before lock you got to hit that thumbs up or the screen’s going black sleeper is the sponsor sign up there and if you
Want the Sims all access package it now exists and you can get it for 150 bucks off if you our Avatar we’ll talk to you later what is happening everybody it is Friday and right before we get into the weekend it’s time to break down an NBA DFS late
Which uh looked like it was going to have a ton of injury news over the course of live before lock today but there’s some players on the injury report but we’ve got a lot of stuff out of the way already Jabari Smith Jr he’s been ruled out we’ve got Paul George
He’s already been ruled in so we’re waiting on Santi alama’s question we’ve got Zion Williamson questionable but everything else looks like it is a status quo not too much crazy going on so as you guys come in do us favor like the video subscribe to the YouTube
Channel I’m joined here by Matt Bellman so Matt bringing you in here what’s going on man looking forward to the weekend yeah always looking forward to the weekend here although that means no daycare for the baby so could be a struggle but we’ll get through it uh
Congrats on your big win or win the other night I know I was following a little bit wanted to see you get first but who was it uh kaminga went nuts in the first lineup I think I think that’s who they had you had okay I can’t
Remember exact because it was a couple nights ago now but congrats on that thank you yeah no it was uh it was Patty Mills which caused lots of dissension in the Discord Channel not to not to rehash an ongoing conversation but yeah it was a big big to-do in the Discord Channel
About Patty Mills and somebody playing the point guard from the last game on the Slate in the point guard spot not the utility spot it was it was all whole whole big Fallout that lasted for way longer than I thought it was going to because people were arguing in the chat
Woke up the next morning they were still arguing it and then by the time the afternoon rolled around I opened up Discord and they were still arguing about it so it was a good like 40 hours of Patty Mills debate that went on channel you must have had kaminga then
Right no no no I I did not I must be thinking about the wrong slate then it was it was the kaminga Slate but he was just so low owned that he wasn’t wasn’t like it wasn’t a situation it was like you needed to have kaminga because everybody got him it was
Like he was like I one% owned if that I remember looking like the night of while it was happening and a lineup around you must have had kaminga and that stuck out to me so I guess I just probably assumed that is what happened so yeah congrats
Either way thank you thank you and on to tonight’s slate uh Jacob if you wouldn’t mind answering me and you you could just throw this into H Slack are any of these questions ones that are super chats that were answered on the last show if yes I
Won’t answer them but if no I want to make sure we hit on everything but we will start with hit them up Okay cool so let’s start with dmer 707 who says faults on Nick Richards he said that he missed that segment so uh the Nick Richard segment apparently went on during the
Last show or he just missed them talking about the Charlotte Hornets is Nick Richard somebody you have interest in tonight m not for me I’m playing two lineups tonight so he’s not someone I’m getting to I like spending down at Center or spending all the way up
Richards is just not someone that I find overly appealing if I were multi- entering he looks like someone to maybe get over the field on only pulling six and a half perc ownership 7% chance of being optimal but our tools don’t really like him do you so it depends how many
Lineups you’re playing if somebody’s just playing one lineup today there’s no chance Nick Richards would be that guy who’s in one lineup for me uh but if you’re playing a bunch of lineups then yeah Nick Richards is somebody who’s viable option who has shown to have a
Little bit of a ceiling a big issue that I do have with Nick Richards outside the fact that he just isn’t projected the best on this slate though is really to do with something that we we bring up a lot of rounds here there are some players who are question on the injured
Report Zan Williamson his question was still Santi Al dama questionable I don’t want to lock Nick Richards into an early spot here and then other players get ruled out and you’re kind of stuck with Nick Richards when there could be better value so yeah if you’re playing one
Lineup or even 10 lineups Nick Richard’s not somebody who’d be in any of those lineups for myself there dmer uh next question I understand where you’re coming from though he has had a couple of big games in a row R gravy is asking us two-part question first should we
Play Grant Williams today yes I do think you should play Grant Williams so his been are very deceptive from the last game because if you go ahead and look at the box where you’d be like hey Grant Williams started but only played 11 minutes why is that the case well it’s
Because he got ejected and actually started the game fairly well he’s not the best fantasy producer in the world we know that about Grant Williams but somebody on the Mavericks is going to have to shoot the basketball that isn’t Luca donic Kyrie Irving is out we did see Grant Williams move into that
Starting lineup last game and while it’s unknown how many minutes he ultimately would have played the reality is that him getting ejected from the game likely did keep his price point depressed if he played a full op in a minutes I don’t think he’d be 3,400 today Matt I think
We’d probably see him a$ thousand dollar or so more expensive so as far as punt plays go he’s one of the better cheap options we have to look at today it might be the best 3,400 is just crazy cheap people don’t often think of it this way but the difference between
3400 to like even 4K is drastic you’re talking about you know 15 to 20% of whoever’s salary Williams is at a price point that he shouldn’t be at even though he sucks doesn’t matter for DFS purposes he’s a 4K plus player in a good spot against Atlanta I feel confident in
Saying that even if other news comes out he will still look like one of if not the best punt play value on the Slate totally agree yeah you uh want to be getting yourself exposure to Grant Williams today R gravy and then his other question is best DK utility for
4700 or less so he’s got a lineup built here he’s got 4700 left let’s see who do we think he should get to for 4700 and uh we are going to miss you know some of the context here in terms of maybe we might recommend somebody who
Already has in the lineup so I’ll give you an option a and an option b here but 4700 at utility Derek Jones so it’s going to be a couple Mavericks for me Derk Jones Jr if you already have Derrick Jones Jr go to Josh Green Derrick Jones Jr isn’t super popular
Today so I think there’s a pretty good chance you don’t have him in your lineup right now but that’s my answer Derek Jones Jr he’s another guy who pretty much everybody in the Mavericks starting lineup or even just guys who are in the Mavericks rotation they see increased
Usage with Kyrie Irving being out so drick Jones J there at 4,400 do you feel the same or different there Matt I don’t mind that I view all these guys as similar my gut says plumbley um you know there’s opportunity cost with him being Center but it’s a utility spot so I
Never mind rolling with a center there I’ll take plumbley knowing I have exposure to a ton of Dallas yep uh plumbley is also somebody who I’m overweight to the field to so I don’t have any issue with him being the option there there are a fair amount of good
Players around that range and they’re almost all from the Dallas Mavericks uh next question Phil sing we’ve got a bit developing here Matt Velvet Rope play of the night and I like what doing with this which is who’s who’s a player who’s picking up a good amount of ownership
That maybe we don’t see as being quite as good of an option as the field go who’s someone to be underweight to I’ve been looking and thinking about this question all day it’s a no doubt about her right now the Velvet Rope play of the day he cannot come into the club is
Isaac aoro nice there’s no way he should ever be pulling 30% ownership on a seven game slate fourth highest owned guy right now or fifth highest own guy no thanks get out of the club Isaac there we go I’ve got 15% of Isaac aor so I’m about half of what the field has
Right now I think he’s somebody very reasonable to come underweight to the field too you know as far as a cash game option goes if you absolutely needed to save salary with somebody around that price range in a cash game cool but for tourament purpose I’m going to be
Underwe to a very chalky Isaac aoro not to the point where he’s not in any my lineups but I’ve got half of what the field has right now so good choice because I agree with you and that’s what I was going to go with Ace of spade DK
TI favorite options yeah I’ll pull up DK TI right here and go through the players who I’m getting the most of in each tier so DK tiers starting with tier one is probably the easiest question we’re gonna have of this entire situation here Matt tier one we’ve got Luca donic
Giannis TMO and SGA if you could pay up for any one player today it is Luca pretty clearly in my opinion but maybe you feel differently Matt no I don’t 72 Fantasy Point projection yeah 10 more than Giannis that’s nuts we have and you not to say
That projections are the end all be all of anything you know there’s always wigle room with different stuff but if you’re just doing player a or player B and player a is projecting for 10 more fantasy points than player B it’s GNA be the guy who’s it’s just such a big gap
In Fantasy Point projection that’s what happens when Kyrie rings out for the Dallas Mavericks so pretty clearly Luke for me in tier one tier two another pretty clear one that’s going to be Donovan Mitchell for myself tier three another pretty clear one shenon and that’s another guy who’s really
Benefiting because Javari Smith Jr is out for today I I probably already would have liked shenon in that tier but even more so now tier four Scotty Barnes tier five Triple J jiren Jackson Jr and then tier six this is one that’s actually really tight there’s a number of guys
Who project him without a fantasy point of each other I’m going to go with Chad holgren because of all these guys who are projecting similarly Chad RJ Barrett France Vagner Bradley Beal Jaylen Williams I’m going to go with Chad as the player who I view is having the most
Upside there so a of spade I hope that helps you build out your tiers lineups and as always thank you for leaving your question I know a lot of people in the community really appreciate it too they always get excited we talk about tiers around here Jake lindland is asking core
Plays for a single bullet in the FanDuel 333 have you looked at uh FanDuel much today Matt or just DraftKings I’ve got lineups built out for both so I could just give him a core if you prefer me to talk about about FanDuel not playing
FanDuel but I have looked at it so um I’m down for whatever you want yeah so as far as core plays go Luca as your pay up option I know he’s really expensive on FanDuel at 123 but it’s not like he’s that hard to get up to when you consider
That the pricing is you know on the whole relatively soft on FanDuel so Luca has a pay up option really like him Josh Green as a value option really like him a good amount on FanDuel another pay up option I like a good amount although not quite as much as Luca is Donovan
Mitchell and then another player on the low end that I like getting to is fad young fad young came off the bench played 26 minutes last game I do think there’s a lot of volatility in his minutes it’s it’s very hard to confidently say that he’s going to play
The 26 minutes he played last game I also don’t know that he plays the 13 minutes he played for him a couple of games ago but I like the upside of fad young at a low price so bolre Kings and FanDuel he’s a good tournament play in
My book so fad young as another core option for you Jake in that FanDuel tournament olat 14 is saying should he play nobody over 10K in his single entry on DK I think you are making a fairly big mistake if you’re not strongly considering playing Luka in your single entry
Contest yeah I think the only like viable argument to not play Luca is ownership there’s so many other ways to get different that that’s not the route I’m taking uh so for me that’s not I’m playing Luca so yep so we’ve got there’s only three players on the Slate that are
Priced over 10K we’ve got Luca we’ve got Giannis we’ve got SGA if I’m ranking those players it’s Luca one it’s Giannis 2 it’s SGA 3 and Luca is one of my highest priority plays on the entire slate so uh as far as your question goes I think you should be playing Luca in
Single entry the only reason not to like matted said is going to be if you are trying to get your lineup a little bit different looking in single entry today Luca’s probably going to be I don’t know seven % owned we’ve got him north of 50%
Own in large field contest and then you consider how single entry generally ends up being a little bit you know sharper so uh Luca is going to be super popular unless you have a lineup that you’re trying to get off the ownership play Luca it’s going to be optimal to get him
Into those lineups R gravy says thoughts on neang he says that he kills the Bucks and he’s 3,900 on DK does he really kill the Bucks like does George Nang kill anybody other than occasionally the team he plays for I know he has games where he knocks down some shots but let’s let’s
Just pull this up here George Nang is somebody who I am not really getting exposure to here’s here’s what’s funny he had that one big game if you’re going to play George Nang the reason to play George Nang has nothing to do with the fact that he’s had good games against the
Bucks in the past here’s the reason that you play George Nang as a pivot off of Isaac Aur 100% agreed um even that like he’s projected to be he’s got a three and a half perc chance of being optimal 6% ownership he’s fine at 3900 but you know
Saying he’s killed the Bucks is a bit of an overstatement I’ll just go back his past six or so games he had 23 he had 44 obviously really good he had six the game before that zero the game before that 21 231 so I mean he had the one game where
You’re like you need the A and let’s see which was it even a game where and I don’t even know that you needed Nang on that slate because I he was so low owned he was probably 0.1% own that slate the only reason like I said if you
Want to play George and yang today and I’m kind of splitting hairs here right because he just wants to know should he get to George and Yang or not if you’re playing one lineup my answer is going to be no but if you’re playing a large field tournament you just want to Pivot
Off of Isaac Aur who I think is over owned on this late you could pivot off him with Nang instead but don’t just don’t don’t roster guys just because they have had good games against him in the past it’s not like George Nang sees the Bucks and he’s like oh [ __ ] green
Jerseys I shoot 75% from three now he it’s just some random shooting variants that’s happened there so R gravy thoughts on George Nang he’s a low priority option but you can roster him if you want to Pivot off of Koro 1207 B Miller is asking us best
Positional values for 4500 or less on DK let’s see so guys who are 4500 or less at different positions there are a handful of cheap guys that I actually really do like on this slate mat and it’s pretty often people be like hey what is what is the best punt play at
Each position and my answer would be well I don’t I don’t have a pun play at every single position I think I can do it for every single position today though if I go to point guard right so starting with point guard at on DK John Contra point guard eligibility very
Viable option for 4,500 or under especially if alama’s out yeah agreed uh I like that call I was gonna say schroer but then I realized I’m an idiot and he’s 5200 so he doesn’t work shooting guard so kar’s point guard and shooting guard eligibility so him there and then a
Couple of guys from the Mavericks with small forward and power forward eligibility I’ll go Derk Jones Jr who I think is one of the more overlooked players on the Dallas Mavericks today only projected for ownership just over 10% so that’s one who’s a little bit of a contrarian option then if you’re going
To be more chalky looking Josh Green is $4,200 and he’s a very exceptional value player so it’s small forward and power forward go to Derrik Jones Jr and Josh L is a couple guys on the Mavericks anybody else you would add to that mix at the forward
Spots he’s the Velvet Rope play of the night so I’m not playing him but of there’s a reason he’s getting ownership so he’s in play I mean it’s unlikely that he gives you a score you need but it’s also unlikely he kills your lineup at 3700 and then if we start looking at
Power Forward centers some guy we talked about before Grant Williams Grant Williams is a really strong option and then as slightly lower ownership Fus young Fus young had a big game last time out and we have seen the Raptors even though they start jeon Porter they hate
Him it’s very odd they start him and then do whatever they can to get him off the as quickly as possible it’s like ah [ __ ] jontay Porter missed the shot we got to take him out and never put him back in again two fouls for jontay
Porter it’s that young time so it’s it’s even though they’ve been starting jontay Porter they try to get that on the court as quickly as they can in some of these games so as a little bit lower owned of a punt option I’ll go with Thad young there chalkier play Grant Williams one
Of the best power forward slash Center options on the Slate if we’re looking at points per dollar just overall option so Grant Williams fad young there are a lot of good guys to get to for cheap price points which is another reason why getting back the question that uh old at
14 asked us before about not wanting to pay up for anybody in single entry contest well then the question becomes what are you doing with your leftover salary if your answer is that you’re not paying up for guys because you’re not punting with these players well then I
Think you’re just forgoing the best points per dollar plays on the Slate so you kind of do have to pay up for like Giannis or Luca in most of your lineups I agree like could a weird slate play out where like the mid tier just absolutely smashes sure but NBA is
Projectable right now there’s just too much value for like the optimal line right now on paper to not include some of that value and a guy like Luca and I’ll say this about Center I’m with you on Thad young playing a little him we also talked about plumbley and Larry
Nance is sneaky potentially started the second half over jayal last game don’t know that’s gonna happen tonight but if Zion’s out I only like him more not that it makes a huge difference for him but already interested at 3900 yeah so I I have I have a feeling a
Lot of people are going to want to play Larry Nance if we do see Zion ruled out and I’m not goingon to say it’s unreasonable one thing I would just caution people about though is the Pelicans do not like to put Larry Nance and Jonas valent Tunis on the court at
The same time so you’re making a mistake if Zion’s out and then you just go oh cool 30 minutes for Larry Nance I don’t know that that is going to be the case now if they end up starting Nance and Valen unes together sure I’ll change my
Opinion but what I think they’re going to do if Zion is ruled out Zion who’s still questionable to play is it’s going to still be a split at the center minutes between Valen Junes and Larry n but something else that you had said there Matt which is definitely important
They started Nance over valent chunis last game or not last game last second half of last game if that happens again today we see the starting lineup and his Nance in it he is a very very strong option it’s it’s just hard to know that’s what they’re going to go back to
He becomes one of the best players on the Slate the only push back I’ll give on your first point is yeah I definitely think it’s a mistake to play him because jayal is out or I mean Zion’s out excuse me yeah but depending on when we get
That news I’m just not sure how many people I think people will want to play him but if we get that news after the Toronto game I’m not sure many people are like playing him now in hopes of Zion being out maybe I’m wrong
There yeah I agree so I mean we just see what is his ownership at the moment yeah I mean he’s only projected for 7% ownership so I feel pretty good in saying that people are not rostering him right now so I hope that those the news just
Comes out late being people have a hard time swapping to him yeah we’ll see I I don’t know exactly what to expect from the Pelicans starting lineup obviously Zion questionable and then yeah it was uh very bizarre I know my first thought as soon as we saw that Larry Nance was
Starting the second half over Jonas Valen chunes when I got that alert on my phone my initial reaction is oh when did Valen chunes get hurt and then and then you see Valen chunes check in in the middle of the third quarter and you just be like oh they just they’re just
Starting n over Valen Tunis I I I haven’t really been able to figure out why it was they did that is it something they’re planning to do tonight we’ll see we’ll see later on in the night uh next question here James McGruder best play at each position and then biggest cheap
Fade so cheap fade I’m I’m GNA speak for M on this Isaac aoro because we talked on it before so I feel pretty comfortable that we could say that that is the guy that we don’t like as much as the field for cheap as far as best plays
At each position let’s go back and forth here mat for me a point guard is pretty easily Luca how about for you a point guard it’s Luca if you want me to say someone else just because Luca is so obvious it’s Schroeder shooting guard for me that’s going to be Donovan
Mitchell it is not that difficult with all the value on DraftKings to play lineups that have both Donovan Mitchell and LCA donic in them no not even a little bit there’s just other good play like if you do you can easily do that but then you can’t play the likes of
Like blend and Ingram etc for my shooting guard I’m gonna go Tim Hardway Jr small forward for me Derek Jones Jr he is of all the options we have that are in play for the Mavericks my favorite lower owned one is drik Jones Jr I like that call a lot good spot for
Him too fastpac uh Atlanta team prone to turn the ball over I’m with that my small forward is gonna be Ingram he’s too cheap no matter what all of a sudden you get Zion out he looks like one of the best value plays on the Slate I know
You don’t usually think about 7600 player players like that but he is I just realized that I could go Mavericks for every single position I’m looking my exposure right I really I really could so power forward it’s going to be I mean I could go Josh Green here
I could go Grant Williams I already gave Derek Jones Jr another position but I’m gonna go power forward Josh green center Grant Williams so I’m just taking the question kind of another angle like the best plays are the Mavericks guys because they’re so cheap I’m going kind of with
My favorite plays and power forward for me is going to be Kawai I love him in this spot going back to Toronto in good form right now pa George on a minute’s restriction who the hell knows what that means probably nothing but I also know
George is a guy that has a propensity to like reinjure stuff start the game maybe not finish it not expecting that but I just really like kawhai from a contrarian standpoint easy to roster him with Luca so we’ve got a bunch of questions coming in so I I bearing the
Lead here because there’s massive news around here Matt really really big news something that people have been asking us for for a very long time and we’ve done it so if you guys want to sign up and get a bundle of all the sports that we offer together for The Sims packages
We have it now if you guys sign up using the link we have below or you could go to the site not only the link below but use the link below just uh helps us to know where it is you signed up from if you want to get access to the Sims for

Every uh once in a while to make sure that everybody who says they’re using it actually are but it’s a good deal for you $150 off you get all of our Sims bundled together one package it’s the Sims all access package so if you guys have been waiting for a bundle we now
Have it and we wanted to wait to make sure that we had you know an ample amount of Sims Sports to be able to bundle it all together now we’ve got just about everything covered so uh sign up and get access to everything all together let’s let’s see what else we
Have as far as super chats here and so we just got the question our favorite play at each position and now two nice is left us a Super Chat and he says all right now top two plays at each position one wasn’t enough Matt so now we our
Second favorite player at each position so let’s Circle back on this and all right how do I want to answer this so point guard I’ll group these two together Luca and Donovan Mitchell these are two guys who uh I had his point guard and shooting guard they both have
Point guard eligibility so I’ll go Luca and Donovan Mitchell you have to add another favorite point guard play to the mix who are you gonna go with I almost like the two better because it sometimes I can’t decide so for point guard give me Luca Intruder shooting guard I’m going to Kar and
Hardway shooting guard I’m gonna go Ingram and Hardaway okay so now small forward Derek Jones Jr and Scotty Barnes small forward I’m going to go Kawai and I’m with you on on Derek Jones Jr and then power forward H Grant Williams and Josh Green right with you there and
Then Center I’ll go shenon and fad young I’m gonna go all three of the cheap centers that we’ve talked about plumbley Nance and Thad young and then we’ve got gravy asking is Pippen Jr playable and then he wants no best small forward for 3,400 or less on DK and
Actually I’m gonna bring in Lee for this to ask him what does he make of the minutes in Memphis because last game we saw a split at the point guard minutes it was Jacob Gillard playing minutes and then we saw coming off the bench and Gillard actually played reasonably well
But then Scotti pipp and Junior came in and he was incredible Off the Bench and just kind of forced himself into more minutes ended up closing Lee how do you see the point guard mids breaking down for the Grizzlies tonight yeah I kind of I kind of get the sense that Memphis is
Giving up on Gillard I mean he played okay right but like Scotty Pippen is clearly playing at at a different level and they actually need ball handling it’s disgusting watching jiren Jackson Jr dribble down the court or like Canard or Contra or whoever the F they want to
Put in there it’s terrible right they need a point guard and I think Scotty Pippin could could be be that guy so right now we have them in as kind of like back up minutes but I think there’s probably like a one and three one and four chance that Pippen could actually
Start for for Memphis and and look at like you know mid 20s type minutes and that would be you know a real different look and it would be probably the best value on the on the Slate yeah I think that’s a really good shout out that we
Could end up seeing him start because he closed last game and Jacob Gillard even played by his standards played fairly well last game and they still ended up closing with Scotty Pippen because I was very high on Gillard last slate he opened up the game he hit like two two
Threes in the first few minutes of the game and I’m thinking hey we’re going to have pretty good looking Gillard game here but the big problem too is Jacob gillard’s like five foot two he’s balding he can’t guard anybody he just doesn’t have the phys he doesn’t have
The physical attributes to be an NBA player unfortunately it’s not his own doing he’s just he’s just a short guy and he’s he’s not super quick he’s not very athletic he doesn’t have the tools to be able to guard opposing NBA players and then on offense he also doesn’t have
The speed or the quickness to be able to attack the basket and he’s a decent enough shooter but he’s somebody the only kind of use in emergency situations wouldn’t be surprised if we do end up seeing Scotty pipp and junor in the starting lineup to Le Point on paper
Terrible game 212 and a half point total what is this 1997 man when’s the last time we’ve seen a game with a 212 and a half total it’s been a minute um I feel like Pippen Ran So Good last time out like I know he played 24 minutes but I just feel like
That was a bypro of they had no one else to bring the ball up the court like Lee was talking about now they have Canard back tonight like I’m skeptical of like giving him not starter minutes but even expecting him to start even though I could see it
Just because this is the first game he really played for them like he was out of the rotation so yeah maybe they saw something they run with it but they’ve got more established guys in this game that are healthy so I don’t know what to expect to be honest you know that the
Memphis Grizz is in a bad spot when the expectation are just like hey their best point guard option is Luke Canard like when is Luke Canard traditionally playing point guard minutes so Canard is back that is a difference he was out last game that was what forced him to
Start Jacob Gillard I would be fairly surprised if we don’t see Scotty Pippen ahead of Gillard in the rotation just based on how they closed last game so with that in mind I think there’s a potential that we see Scotty Pippen starting at Point Guard base how we
Played last game not a bad tournament flyer not a bad tournament flyer at all let’s see what else we have uh was there a second part of that question by the way uh yes there was best 3,400 or less small forward on DK see 3,400 that might
Be a little bit too cheap for me to find somebody I like 3400 at small forward yeah I guess it has to be somebody Jan Tate but he’s generally a no for me it has to be somebody it’s him but it’s it’s really nobody at that price point
Uh for me if it has to be someone give me a mere coffee the options aren’t great the options aren’t great so arre if he can finagle your lineup around to find some other salary savings elsewhere I think you probably should do that uh but yeah the option’s not good there I’m going
I’m going with J Shan T Chris William says great show like always can answer this later no I’m gonna answer it right the [ __ ] now Chris you want wants to know the top three captains in the Spurs Showdown and then he knows that Wendy will be one uh so I know that I
Emphatically said that I’m going to answer this now which I am going to do for you the one thing that is a little bit tricky though is don’t forget that we do have players currently questionable in that game we’ve got uh Malcolm Brogden is questionable to play
And Trey Jones so those are a couple players who can certainly end up changing how that game ends looking so let’s assume that everybody’s in for the purpose of your question Chris if everybody’s in we’re just looking at everything as it is now so the late Showdown Game Portland Trailblazer San
Antonio Spurs wemi Easy Choice Easy Choice to get to wemi in that game as a captain as for other guys I am going to give you Anthony Simons as another one Simons is somebody I think you should consider particularly if we end up getting a situation where Malcolm
Brogden is out as for third one H I want to give you more of a contrarian option to look at it’s it is hard though with Brogden and Trey Jones both questionable if Trey Jones is out and you want to be contrar and save some money Blake Wesley and then just spend
Up at other spots little bit of bias on my part because Blake Wesley ended up helping me win a couple money win a bunch of money a couple days ago but it’s all the same reasons that like him today in these contests if Trey Jones doesn’t play we saw Wesley start a point
Guard last game I assume that would be the case again so Blake Wesley if Trey Jones is out Chris and then also Chris gifted us five YouTube memberships so appreciate that a whole bunch thank you very much for supporting the channel Chris next Super Chat is from or at 14
And this is a uh a One V One V one question he wants to know if he should play Williams Miller or Middleton Chris Middleton of those three on BK definitely Dallas’s lineup is out no Hardway in the starting lineup I kind of want to get Leon and see if that does
Anything like what their starting lineup actually does if anything so this is the uh same starting lineup they played last game if I remember correctly because they also brought Hardway Off the Bench okay the last game and then the entire rotation got [ __ ] up because Grant Williams
Starts fairly well and then gets himself ejected really quickly so we did see Hardway come off the bench last game played 34 minutes off the bench even though the game was a blowout but Le what do you make of the Maverick starting lineup in this game yeah this
Was expected it just basically means that you can’t play Jaden Hardy or if you do it’s like a tournament flyer type situation or you’re hoping for a blowout or something like that something awkward like that um it you know they’re just going to stagger Grant Williams a bit
And he’s going to play some backup five so it it’ll just work out about 30 minutes for those guys you know a little bit higher for for Josh Green Tim Hardway nothing really surprising here play donic LC all day yeah and then as far as the
Cheap guys go Grant Williams is uh the cheap option the punt play on DK I get the most exposure to on this late he’s not a good fantasy producer but he’s going to play a bunch of minutes there’s usage available so Grant Williams I consider him a must play in cash games
By the way Grant Williams like him a lot in tournaments as well uh next Super Chat is from my filler Arch who says uh Fred Van vet and fad young or Scotty Barnes and Scotty Pippen Jr option one for me Fred Van vet and Thad young how
About for yourself Matt H Scotty bar I will say that if Scotty Pippen Jr does end up starting than him but assuming he comes off the bench I’m not gonna answer him for the purpose of this question Fred Van vet and fad young do you feel differently Matt it was Barnes and
Pippen yes definitely the van bed side not even close for me as of right now and then Zachary panel is asking us for a DK single entry in utility shenon or Barnes that’s shenon for me shenon James mcder best 7600 or under to play in utility see
70 that is oh actually this is fairly easy for me Brandon Ingram who already looks decent as is and then if Zion gets ruled out he’s only going to project better so perfect price point go plug Brandon Ingram in see what we have in the Discord
Channel now one of the perks being a stoas member so if you guys do want to sign up for our Sims bundle it also grants you access to our Discord Channel or if you for any other package like the lineup generator package less than $15
That also is going to get you access to Discord and then it’s going to give you lineups so you could play and we’ve got our player projections ownership projections in there as well so any packs you sign up for get access to our Discord Channel and let’s get to the
Questions that are in here now and we have from oh boy lots of questions all right so let’s start with this one here from st71 he says we need the glasses or I don’t feel confident in your analysis even better I’ve got contacts him which helped me see better I see the entire
Slate in 2020 vision of my contacts him he wants to know how do I feel about Vince Williams Jr so if you have a lineup with Vince Williams as a last man in that’s fine I would not prioritize him though considering his price has gone up and that Luke Canard is back in
The mix as well so not a priority at all yeah s do you see better with your contacts in as opposed to glasses yes okay interesting right just just the way is that like a thing or like because I don’t wear context but is that a thing
Good it’s it is for me I don’t I couldn’t tell you beyond that I don’t know I don’t and i’ I’ve never had other eyes either so I don’t it’s hard for me to relate to other people’s experiences maybe maybe not Captain Aela wants to know our favorite single entry play
Derck Jones Jr for me Hawai for me okay next question is coming to us from Ric Rod 1980 top fan F single entry plays by position yes sir so for FanDuel point guard Luca donic shooting guard Josh green uh let’s see actually okay I’m gonna so I could mix
Up Luca at point guard Mitchell at shooting guard Josh Green at small forward Grant Williams at Power Forward Center gets a little bit dicey on FanDuel because there’s a lot of guys that I like at the position I’m going to say Santi Alama for now if Alama plays and because he’s currently questionable
Play if alama’s in he’s going to go under owned in fandu especially in single entry tournaments if he’s out shenon really goodlooking Center option but I’ll go with Alama for now so hopefully that helps you out there Ric rod and then Jets world is saying if
Zion is out would we play Larry Nance or faad Young on DK uh it depends if Nance starts or not if Nance starts him if not faad young Nance or young I know you were pretty high on on Larry Nance before I view them so similarly
Um th I think Thad young is safer but I think n is more upside and the potential to be a better play if the news breaks right so take with that what you will Clyde is asking us what are the best options to get away from Grant Williams
So if you weren’t playing Grant Williams who would you be willing to play for cheap instead so if the goal here is to be contrarian I’m going to say no I’ll still go Thad young Thad young my favorite overall pivot if you’re looking for a deep tournament flyer though is
Like we’ve been talking about Larry Nance potential that he starts he’s another one you could get to I think you should play Grant Williams though uh I agree I don’t think there is like a pivot off of Grant Williams so like I would just play Grant Williams
Next question here’s from sniffs one two three4 he wants to know how do I feel about Nance if Zion is out the bigger question to me with Nance is does he start over Jonas Valen chunis if we do see Zion out it’s it’s not very likely
To me that means that Nance goes in plays 30 minutes or anything because the Pelicans have always been hesitant to give Larry Nance and Jonas valunas minutes on the court together so it’s still them splitting the center minutes it’s just going to be more a case of
Does Nance start over valent chunis as he did in the second half of last game the Black Mamba 8724 wants to know our thoughts on Thad young good tournament option I I don’t know that we could Bank on him playing the same minutes he did
Last game but we do know he has the potential to play the minutes he did last game and he’s played well when he’s been on the court from a fantasy perspective this year so Thad young in tournaments for it somebody to roster M Grizzly who are most over and
Underweight two in tournaments today all right underweight for me that is going to be Isaac aoro I’ve got half of what the field has overweight for me um overweight to Fat okay so here’s a couple guys Dereck Jones Jr I like being overweight to Derrick Jones Jr and I also like being overweight
To Donan Mitchell is another one there’s some chalky guys as well but Don Mitchell I think is being a little bit overlooked by the field as well as Derrik Jones Jr Matt your favorite players to be overweight to Hawai Brandon Ingram Tim Hardaway Jr uh those
Three we got a Super Chat R gravy now says he’s got a 4,400 left for his utility spot he’s already playing Josh Green though so who should he get to uh that is going to be drik Jones Jr for me at 4,400 so it might be plumly for me at
Utility if let’s say you don’t have green h how do you rank who do you like more green or plumbley uh so he has Josh Green already I okay I do prefer green to plumbley though if it’s just a one for one Derek Jones Jr over plumbley for me it’s very
Close it’s very very close but I I I prefer Dereck Jones Jr they all really close but I’m with you I mean their projections we have are I mean it’s it’s it’s within like a 10th or a 20 or it’s it’s been like a tenth or two ten of a
Fantasy point we have them going against each other M Grizzly oh no already answered that one Eric M three favorite value plays on DK so overall three favorite value plays for me are Grant Williams yeah uh Grant Williams Derrick Jones Jr and Josh Green all guys from
The Mavericks but what can I do Tyrie Irving’s out yeah makes sense ma dub T I feel like we’re getting the same question fairly uh constantly here wants to know our favorite value play for under 4600 uh oh no okay so this is best DK utility for 4600 in under yeah Derek Jones
Jr yeah I’m with that let’s see what we have the next question is going to be favorite play 4,400 or under probably let’s say no Miami High Life wants no thoughts on Brandon Ingram this is Brandon Ingram is a very good guy if you guys are building
Lineups using our Sims tool give an Roi boost to Brandon Ingram for two reasons number one he’s already somebody who’s a serviceable option as is but then you have the possibility that Zion is out and if that’s the case you want to have just as much Brandon Ingram as you could
Possibly fit in play Ingram if you’re using our Sims to give him an Roi boost you’re getting more exposure to him even before the Zion news comes out play Brandon Ingram today are you are you approaching Brandon Ingram in a similar way Matt trying to make sure you have
Space to get him in I love Ingram today I was saying before yeah I think he’s too cheap even if Zion’s in he looks like maybe the best value play on the Slate if Zion’s out Ingram is a definite priority for me yep Brandon Ingram definitely somebody to be getting to
Tonight and then Einstein wants to know any interest in Miles Bridges miles Bridges is so he’s not a fade for me but not somebody who you want to like go out play aggressively I am a little bit underwe to him project for just under 10% ownership and one of the main
Reasons that I actually don’t just want to jam miles Bridges has a lot to do with something like Brandon Ingram that we just discussed I’m pretty hesitant to load up on guys who are okay but not great in the first game of the Slate when we do have players like Zion who
Question all the in report for later so last man in Miles Bri is fine but uh yeah don’t go and prioritize him or anything I completely agree J rob 624 wants to know Brandon Miller or Chris Middleton Chris Middleton for me yeah Middleton and uh by the way one of the
Best ways you guys could find value for yourselves on tonight’s slate sign up at sleeper we’ve got the link below to sign up at sleeper you’re G get a deposit bonus offer there so you put in $100 they’re going to match a 100 for you but also there’s a free Square over there
There’s always free squares that you get over at sleeper and it’s only good for new customers so it’s something to take advantage of because you know there are very few sure things in the DFS embeding space Matt but you know what is a sure thing when you can
Bet these this current offer listen to this Damen lard how many points you think Damen lard is gonna score tonight Matt zero or more than zero probably more than zero and the overunderwear offer over 0. five points for daming load and take advantage of that bonus deposit offer as well build
St a bank roll over at sleeper let’s see what we have next here next question is from Tim Lee cash game Staples yeah so cash game Staples for me Luca Grant Williams Josh Green Let’s see if there’s anybody else that I would call like an absolute cash
Game staple probably shenon in there as well and yeah if you have space for another spend up option Donan Mitchell Luca Grant Williams Josh Green shenon Donovan Mitchell you actually could build lineups with Luca shenon and Mitchell today so that’s my way to go I
Say all three of them if you could fit them in Tim cash game Staples tensley sley 207 is asking us a 2v2 Tim Hardway Jr and Scotty Barnes or Dennis Schroeder and kawh Leonard I’m gonna say Tim Hardway Jr and Scotty Barnes I don’t have an issue with either either either
Combo though I like the shrewder side a bit more but I like both and uh s Reese is saying uh Nick Nick Smith Jr is starting today is he somebody who we should be rostering so we’ve got Nick Smith is $3,800 and let’s see is he somebody
Who’s making his way into my he’s not starting yeah that’s what I’m I’m gonna say I didn’t see him starting somewhere yeah he’s not starting Nick Richard is starting for them I thought I missed something I was like did I miss a piece news because I was looking at my lineups
I’m like I don’t have lineups with Nick Smith I see he’s cheap I didn’t see that he was starting so the answer is he’s not starting so it doesn’t matter uh then we’ve got s re asking what percentage of my lineups have no Luca or Giannis I believe the answer is none of
Them and all right no about 10% almost all my lineups have Luca or Giannis in them though so play one of them play one of them next question One V One One V one you’re going Josh Green over Plum plumbley yeah I would go Josh Green over plumbley
Oh that’s why so AR celza left in the uh YouTube chat this good information now apparently somebody had reported at one point that Nick Smith was starting and then the lineup had changed afterward so don’t know where that ended up coming from but uh that was what caused some of
The confusion there no worries understood Dominic kubano 25 is asking what approach would I take to late swapping who from the late games would you increase your exposure to for pivoting Brandon Ingram go Roi upgrade boost Brandon Ingram that’s the guy that I think you should be getting
To ni 9292 wants to know is rwn Holmes a tournament play on DK not some I’m getting to a little bit too thin for me I understand why with all the players that are out right now for Dallas but that is a no for me on rwn Holmes we have ran Holmes
Projected for like one Fantasy Point today next question here is from Rico Rod 1980 he uh wants to know my favorite players for FanDuel single entry at each position I’m pretty sure I answered this question from you earlier but I’ll go over it again uh so point guard that is
Luca shooting guard Donan Mitchell small forward Josh green power forward Williams Center Santi Alama if Alama doesn’t play then shenon next question is from R gravy and he’s asking us shenon and Derek Jones Jr or Ingram and schroer on DK shenon and derck Jones Jr for me I prefer the shenon and Dereck
Jones jior side uh next question in the Discord channel is from fall 0717 for a DK gpp Contra versus Dereck Jones Jr that’s a very close one for me I prefer Derrick Jones Jr though same how you doing on your uh lineups by the way everything all good everything’s
All good um man it’s tough knowing or figuring out how much Dallas exposure to get while also wanting to save some spots because Dallas looks really good you know yeah and for me it’s I’m going to play I’m playing a lot of Dallas right I have I have no issues getting to
A lot of Dallas and I am somebody who is everybody knows I’ve really like to do what I can to try to make it so that my lineups are really set up well so that I have the flexibility to weight slap but for this particular slate I I think that
It’s one where we should be playing a lot of the it’s chalk that we should be getting to right I felt differently a couple days ago with nikil Alexander Walker for today though just go ahead and play the Dallas guys I think that is something you should be doing next
Question here is from Iron Maiden 2 thoughts on Bruce Brown if he starts uh Bruce not somebody I’m getting exposed to um did you consider Bruce Brown today no haven’t really considered him at all he’s he’s a he’s definitely somebody you could take flyers on for tournament by
The way did we get the starting lineup for let’s see yeah so the Toronto starting lineup is not out yet I do assume that they’re gonna stick with Scotty Barnes Gary Trent RJ Barrett jonte Porter we could see Bruce Brown end up starting let’s price point on Bruce Brown Bruce Brown
Is they’re speculating because of quickly being out yeah right let’s see Bruce Brown’s price point at 5400 yeah if he starts I say go ahead and get it wouldn’t be a priority or anything but he’s in play I do actually have I do have exposure to Bruce brown with quickly out and he’s
Somebody who honestly regardless if he starts or not he’s a viable tournament play because there’s still extra minutes to go there for Bruce Brown and looking at the possibilities of the starting lineup for Toronto actually do think he’s probably more likely to start than not I think he’s the most likely got a
Slot in the starting unit do you think Bruce Brown yes not shudder I think Bruce Brown starts okay I’m torn I’m not sure exactly what to expect I kind of think shudder but I can also see them just wanting to keep him off the bench and either way both those guys are gonna
Play more minutes now that Quickly’s out I don’t think that’s a question yeah and they’re both in play with quickly out right they’re they’re two guys who we could be getting to no matter what my preference is Bruce Brown over Dennis schroer but if Dennis schroer starts or
Bruce Brown they’re both good tournament options two guys to get to in tournaments let’s see next question that we have in here it is from OBG and he’s asked asking us he says this is a process question when you say that you were rerunning before lock does that
Mean you’re regenerating the lineups and then rerunning the Sims yes so it’s pretty frequent over the course of the show that Lee might make minor projections updates and then we’ll get ownership updates that come in so yeah it’s rerunning lineups as well as running them through the Sims again it’s
Both things that I’m going to be doing and then post lock as well whenever players get ruled out whenever there’s a starting lineup that’s different than otherwise would be expected I’m always rerunning everything through the late swap tool as as well I do as many updates as I can mares Sports last man
In thoughts on Trey man not somebody who I think you need to play today uh philonic 28 we playing Jeff Green there’s other value options I prefer but Jeff Green’s in play they are playing him a [ __ ] ton of minutes right now Jabari Smith out he’s cheap enough to uh
Be worth considering for sure for prong Dinger is asking me favorite tournament option for 8200 in utility spot let’s see 8200 in utility James Harden for me tonight I like James Harden most at 8200 and then we’ve got ic50 talk to me about Damien Jones uh Damen Jones if you
Absolutely need to punt he’s okay Tristan Thompson out he’s playing the backup center minutes because Tristan Thompson had all of the elal substances in him and I thought he was Barry Bonds in you know 2000 he’s no longer there Damen Jones playing the backup center minutes not a high priority play but if
You absolutely need a punt you could go to him and then uh Jason 123 asking me any love for lamelo ball not tonight I played lamelo a good amount the last late the problem today though is we’ve got Donan Mitchell and LCA to get to his
Pay up options who I am preferring and that is going to do it for us today guys thank you very much for watching if you’ve not done it like the video subscribe to the YouTube channel if you want to sign for any package at stochastic Lee and I are both going to
