Wait for you come back around Hello and welcome to the CBB Super Show brought to you by the ftn network I’m your host Walter wedell AKA dub Deuces 885 and we are rolling ping into a new week before you know it selection Sunday will be here we just got through a
Little diddy of a two game I see some green screens in the ftn CBB Discord love to see it we are going to be tackling the 12 game slate that’s on DraftKings tomorrow locks a half an hour earlier than usual I feel inclined to say that because more often than not
People are saying dang I forgot it locked a little earli I’m stuck with this dummy lineup whatever it is that happens so make sure you are ready to go one half hour earlier than normal if you are watching the show for the first time ever hello welcome thank you for
Checking it out and if you’re a returner all the like pull up a chair your normal seat all of you come together as we talk about the CBB slate coming up we are going to ask that you knock that like button around you know I never envision
Myself baking for likes but doing this YouTube thing and and really having some success on the ftn Network which I’m super excited about you have no idea how much those likes actually help when you hear people talking about it on their various streams or whatever content you
Watch it’s like yeah yeah whatever but it actually is a big difference and you guys have been doing a great job with helping me out with that and it’s pushed our show to a very high watermark on the ftn network number two on the entire channel so thank you guys for that that
Was for last month’s views I’m very excited about that shared that with some of you guys in DMS really a a very um exciting time for me as a content provider and show uh Creator you know I have aspirations to one day go deep into sports media I mean obviously ESPN and
Stuff like that is a pipe dream but wherever we can take it we’re going to definitely try in the meantime we’re going to continue to help you guys win money hopefully be entertained and also Branch out into more than just DFS whether that’s prop bets priz picks uh
Under all this other stuff we’re also going to be doing some fun stuff I’m in some season long and Dynasty leaks I know a lot of you have been asking me about that my time is all like over the place I have a really hard time with it
So I couldn’t Commish a league like that but next season we are going to get somebody to run our own uh ftn you know DFS Discord Channel league and we’re going to do what we did last year with the tournament have a draft and have a little bit of a league there something
Like you know a $50 buying nothing crazy just to to continue to to drive uh excitement there as we get closer to selection Sunday with the Slate coming up here there’s a bracket qualifier number 25 you’re starting to see for Mania more and more qualifiers the season you know
They usually just Jam them in at the end of the year they’ve spread them out quite a bit I think they’re starting to realize like hey this season’s going by pretty quick so you’re starting to see more and more of those it’s a $95 entry one of our ftn regulars and somebody
Who’s been with me for a long time at some of my other sites as well uh prior to ftn Scott TSU won a seat yesterday very happy very proud of him for doing so he is a super contrarian type of player which is what tends to
Follow me around from sight to site and I’m excited to see that he actually did quite well with his boy Ty Rogers from Illinois but that’s another member of the ftn community in Mania we’re going to keep it going no Mini Max that’s probably going to be on Saturday so the
$1 gpp is only the 20 Max there but there is the 2K to First $15 gpp I know that doesn’t excite a lot of you but hey any port in a storm we can continue to build our bank roles and then qualifier number 26 at the $250 level will be on
Wednesday February 7th they do already have that posted and that is more than halfway full all right the Slate itself is 12 games you know they’ do this little break it up into pieces I’m I’m happy that they at least you know it’s 12 games so it’s a bigger slate it’s not
Like the nine and five some of my community members like it to be split up they do have a five game night slate that starts at 600 PM PST 900 pm on the East Coast there which has five different games from the 12 game main
Slate so 17 total games for you to delve through we of course have on the ftn BET site with Mike cutri and our guy Mike Randle the chief content officer betting information Galore via his show and cry just absolutely fogging the field when it comes to prop betting so you
Definitely want to check those out on his trackers and then of course on The ftn Daily side of things you’ll find a daily article from me as well as projections that I post for each and every slate in the Discord and in the prize pick tracker and overall My Player
Pull cores all that good stuff we have it all the only thing we don’t have as of this moment for college basketball is an Optimizer but if you give me time and start figuring this stuff out we’ll get ourselves an Optimizer as well and we’ll
Be truly a onstop shop when it comes to Collegiate Sports and who knows maybe for college football next season we’ll be rolling out some projections as well lots of fun stuff going on absolutely appreciate all the continued support let’s jump right into it I know I tend
To be long- winded so I don’t want to waste your time too much you guys watch me on uh on demand on two and a half three speed I’m probably sound like a chipmunk also not feeling so great mentioned last week in my house the wadell family the kids you know they’re
They’re constantly coming home with the sniffles I uh have developed into a sore throat and blowing my nose even more than usual which just sounds like a normal me so I’ll have to excuse myself potentially at times tonight but I will try to keep the dis uh distractions and
The uh breaks at an absolute minimum all right let’s get into it Old Miss versus South Carolina the Gamecock four and a half Point favorites total of 137 and a half the Gamecock man they are playing extremely well under Lamont Paris we mentioned this the other day before
Their game uh against Georgia how well Georgia’s played but South Carolina’s just they’re they’re on another level right now and they’re just whipping through the SEC they’re 19 and three three losses only to Alabama Clemson and Georgia which was earlier in the year that was a home loss to Georgia now they
Beat them on the road and it was a very productive 7262 win no late you know hangovers after that big win over Tennessee at their house really big game out of our guy Colin Murray Bo who we’ve been hyping the last maybe month month and a half the Freshman has really
Ascended I think he’s going to be a first team All Conference candidate next year with the way he’s ascending up the board 16 points five rebounds four assists two steals in that game against Georgia in 27 minutes extremely efficient Mei Johnson who we have been really expecting to break out of his
Funk did shoot a little bit better only scored 11 points but he made three of five from Long Range four rebounds three assists so a little bit better of an action game there from Mei Johnson priced only at 65 he hasn’t eclipsed 30 fantasy points in quite some time last
Time he did so was back on January 6th against Mississippi State so that’s really what we’re looking for out of him playing this game against Old Miss this does favor his play style he’s still shooting a tremendous amount of shots as long as he continues to play 30 plus
Minutes and he should he is a very solid option at this 65 price point you do have tan Cooper is finally cliped him in price at 67 playing almost every single minute of the game consistently churning out a 4 to 5x score as well little bit
Better of a play overall than Mei but like I said I’m invested I need this Mei Johnson Breakout game so I’m going to have more exposure to him but I like obviously both guards that are going to be playing a massive amount of minutes here now the starting lineup for South
Carolina with my St back and he did play uh in his first game back let’s pull that up real quick 20 minutes he just played 10 minutes off the bench against Georgia they still ran Zack Davis as the starter over suit he played 31 minutes in that game Jacobi right off the bench
Played 18 and then we saw guys like Josh gray play 18 which is more than he’s played a lot this year and Morris ouus we just saw 18 out of BJ Mack who did struggle in the game against Georgia which means they they wanted to look at
Other bigs such as Josh gray uh I don’t know if that will continue we’ll see BJ Mack will remain as a starter but he’s definitely not one of my favorite plays if we’re thinking he’s going to drop he’s 7K so not getting 30 plus minutes
Out of him is a tremendous fail uh it’s only $300 more for him over a less proven commodity in Colin Murray boil but when you look at the conference season mury Bo has outplayed him in nearly every category and he’s been Uber efficient taking more shots getting more aggressive and also more comfortable
Within this offense so I’m very high still on Murray Bo even though he’s the second highest price player on South Carolina now which is pretty wild to think about uh you still have 4.8k Zachary Davis so as a starter you know it’s not a horrible um play there at sub
5K playing roughly 25 to 30 minutes he’s not a high upside guy priced up higher at 5K he’s a lower end value but somebody that you can get some salary relief if my sto were to be inserted back into the starting lineup at 44 we could expect him to be pretty highly
Owned uh the 10 minutes he got against Georgia um I don’t think that was a setback to the shoulder issue he was suffering earlier I just he wasn’t really effective and they were going with other guys there especially once they got the lead um do expect him to
Probably return to closer a 20-minute roll here whether he’s off the bench or starting but as a starter it would be a little bit more appealing there at 44 um on the Old Miss side you have a really really attractive price 6.4k for Matthew Morel Matthew Morell is still
Even though this Old Miss team uh this iteration of them is a lot more crowded at the position and he’s not having to be the highest usage guy in the the program anymore like he was the last couple of Seasons he still maintained his productivity uh we see in 36 minutes
Against Auburn in a game that they they they were ahead at halftime and they ended up blowing it in the second half seven of 16 three of seven from downtown 18 points five rebounds three assists he did put up 31 fantasy points the second time in his last four 64 price is really
Cheap for somebody who hasn’t really been uh busting all that much he did have a 10 against Texas A&M but this seems like a massive overreact for their pricing algorithm so 64 Matthew Morell is somebody that I think we want to have some exposure to I do want to caution
Because South Carolina is not the soft fantasy friendly defense that we’re used to over the last couple of Seasons Lamont Paris has them playing an extremely slow style of play which limits possessions overall and their defense has been much much better so it’s not as if this is a slam dunk play
For Morell it’s more of a Buy Low Price play whereas last year or two years ago against South Carolina team it would just be a a near 100% exposure situation it’s not that here for Mor but I do like that 64 price point uh Flanigan at 74
And Jaylen Murray at 78 those are probably a little bit too pricey Mur recently had a 50 a couple of games ago against Mississippi State which is why he has this massive price in incase I thought with Brandon Murray being around his production would fall his minutes would fall they haven’t he’s remained
Steady um but that is a little bit too high price for me I like Flanigan always for gpps but again he’s 1K more than Morel and his production hasn’t been that much more than Mel’s on a regular basis we did see mois play 24 minutes jaryan sharp did miss their last game
Against Auburn which they really needed him uh wasn’t warming up I don’t know what the actual ual um injury or what the ailment was there so we’ll have to look out there he has been trending down in minutes anyways the last two prior to that he played less than 10 minutes so
It does seem reasonable to project Cay for a continued 20 to 25 minutes and then you got my guy Brandon Murray who doesn’t seem to ever project well when I release those projections but I continue to play Brandon Murray I’m a Believer in his talent his minutes have have really
Leveled off he’s playing in the mid 20s his price has crept up with the production he scored 19 plus in three straight I’m pretty happy about it he’s 2% owned to every single slate now he’s 49 closer to 5K needs to hit 20 just to
Make that minimum value not as good of a value play anymore and again he doesn’t project well he never does but I do still like him here at that 49 price point especially if he’s going to continue to get 25 minutes but he’s not the Supreme sneaky value that he has
Been over the last three games and literally the only people rostering him those last three slates have been myself and I think maybe two other ft members um as far as the rest of this group goes jamine braefield at 68 uh with the uh sharp injury um or or just being out I
Should say he’s played 32 and 38 minutes over his last two games starting to play well again breakfield is very streaky we know he’ll have these three four five games in a row where he’s putting up five Sixx numbers and then he completely disappears I’m still a little
Bit leery of using him or jumping back on the 68 price almost 7K it’s it’s an okay price point certainly uh but again this matchup against South Carolina I don’t think he’s going to rebound all that well against them and he just he’s gonna have to remain very efficient on
His scoring ability which I don’t think he’s going to be able to do so braefield to me is is pretty much a a fade I don’t want to chase him in this spot here at all I’ll either take Morel or I’ll take Brandon Murray or I’ll just take the
South Carolina side but this is a game that should be relatively entertaining all things considering even though the total is pretty low all right next game on the Slate here Maryland versus ruter Maryland eight-point favorites total of 126 and a half this is a regular Virginia line uh very low Maryland has
Been atrocious to watch I mean I anytime Maryland’s on TV or I have the ability to stream them it’s it’s like a a situation in which I’d rather almost watch Bluey at this point with my kids which if you’re a father or parent out there you know all about watching every
Episode of Bluey three times through um it’s Maryland team top 10 in defensive efficiency their offense not so good 13- nine just had a pretty rough loss on the road against Michigan State 6354 Julian Rees played only 14 minutes because he could not get out of his own way you
Know the deal with ree if he stays on the floor and doesn’t foul he’s putting up a big number if he gets into foul trouble it’s an absolute mess four fouls he was habitually into foul trouble couldn’t get out of it played just the 14 minutes DeShaun Harris Smith The
Freshman who started the season out pretty well he has been struggling mightily in Big 10 play he played Just 24 minutes they ended up playing Dante Scott Jamir young and Jo Jano 35 Plus minutes which tono was on the morphine drip just three weeks ago barely playing
Now he’s playing a big role again and they played jari long 30 minutes off the bench Jamie Kaiser just 11 a little bit of Callum Roger but overall it was just a a dreadful game for Maryland this isn’t a best spot to Target against ruter looking at the let me pull this up
Here uh tomorrow’s show I’m going to have it set up early enough to where I can actually share this stuff with you guys those in the Discord know about the sheet and how it looks um but I am going to start sharing that on the show so you
Guys can reference a little bit or or look at what I’m referencing when I reference it maybe some visual aids will help there um so looking at it here Reese at 85 young at 87 both really high prices I think both have a pretty good chance of
Hitting into 30 maybe even closer to 35 which does put them at Value but the opportunity cost is just so high and I feel like this game is going to be really really ugly and there’s nothing to make us think that Rees won’t get into foul trouble going up against a
Front Court in ruter that is super physical with Clif Omar rui they’ve got moat mag they’ve got Andre hey they’ve got athleticism so I I am worried about paying that 85 price for Reese he’s certainly in the uh the list for us for gbps definitely but there’s no way you
Can pay that price for him on a slate this size in your main lineup it just seems very very Reckless jir young maybe more of a luxury play here at 87 he doesn’t fail very often but I do think we can get a similar score for a je
Cheaper price overall Jordan jono is the one that projects pretty well right now if we give him 32 to 33 minutes he does make value at 5’4 but I got to tell you I’m very very worried about using him he could get rug pulled at any time like I
Said it was about three weeks ago we saw Jamie Kaiser playing more minutes than him and and Coach Willard in his pressers was saying we got to switch up to starting five I gotta Play More Jamie Kaiser damn coach speak we believe it then he ends up playing Jamie Kaiser
Eight minutes and now Jon almost playing 35 to 36 so uh not going to be a victim of Coach speak there Dante Scott played almost 40 minutes in that last game he’s 6K don’t want to chase that either I just don’t have any Trust in any of these Maryland guys besides young but
Like I said the opportunity cost is quite high now looking at ruter Andre hayatt hit the bench in their last game you might be wondering why was that he’s been pretty good this season well they did get Jeremiah Williams back and available now Jeremiah Williams if you
Don’t know who he is played for temple for a couple of Seasons he’s gonna be on his way to Iowa State didn’t work out there ended up rerouting to ruter now he has had a stay um on his his eligibility was have to sit out decides to play they
End up getting him into the starting lineup immediately he had been practicing played 30 minutes 10 points six rebounds two assists and a block shot four of 12 but a lot of volume there for Jeremiah and he’s somebody who is obviously going to continue to be a
Starter and a keep player for them they played their starters in the win against Michigan a lowly Michigan team 6959 30 plus minutes that was jichael Davis Jeremiah Williams Maat mag Derek Simpson who has been a very hard player to Peg this year and Cliff Omar rui Off the
Bench Andre Hyatt and Gavin Griffith were the only two that played double digit minutes Noah Fernandez and Austin Williams who had been starting the last few games played less than five Emanuel agole who barely ever plays played eight and you saw a situation here for ruter where they’re probably not going to use
Their bench all that much Noah Fernandez just kind of phased all the way out uh wolf folk and Palmquist who are just role players those guys aren’t playing very much either now when it comes to Austin Williams um he does have a a mystery ailment so that might have part
To do with it but at this point Jeremiah Williams is so good and he was at Temple and he had his pick of pro uh programs obviously Iowa State ends up at ruter could have gone to a lot of places so we’re not talking about a scrub here
We’re talking about a kid who can play and will continue to play Heavy minutes for this ruter program and is a nice infusion of offense and de like a combination jack of all trades type do really like Williams and he was strong at Temple was only 3K there if you got
Him in it was a good day for you there against Michigan uh he is 5K they’ve raised him probably high enough to where he’s not an autop plug against Maryland but if he continues to start we expect 30 minutes at 5K absolutely want to have exposure and he’d be the one ruter guy
In this game that I would use Omar rui at 81’s priced a bit high as I mentioned Derek Simpson he’s been pretty tough to Peg he’s on one of his nice streaks right now but when he’s bad he’s real bad Hyatt you can’t use Off the Bench
Mag’s probably a little bit too high priced here is like the fourth option he has had some nice games but his floor is single digits and overall I don’t want to get too invested in this game it is really really ugly all right moving from
That game on to one that is going to be good hey what’s up Jody you got a you got a queue on Saturday okay cool another friend of the show we got a lot of you guys in the queue glad to hear it jod has been uh a listen or a viewer and
A listener of the show for a very long time very sharp player glad to see you got in my man uh yeah there’s still lots of seats and uh you know as you sharper players you know get uh get maxed out that that leaves the chance for uh
Little guys like me to get in all right so we go from the old the Maryland ruter you know physicality match up to depal yay versus St John’s now St John’s 21 and a half Point favorites in this game total just a tick under 149 I would
Probably never bet on depal in fact we bet against depal so many times this year especially in the noncon but 21 and a half points that’s so many but then you look at what they did against Xavier and lost 9368 72- 39 against Sean Hall 8562 against kraton uh probably a good bet
That St John’s is going to cover and get the job done it would be a staya away spot for me though because St John’s you know uh they have a tendency to uh to disappear at times I love St John’s got the Posh old Jersey behind me there but
Uh that is a a really high line there that kind of feel like sprinkling on depal but I think that would probably be a waste of money so looking at this group here for depal they did get KT Remy back uh dealing with a back issue
That cost him a game Keandre young ended up up playing a bunch two games ago without KT Ry uh 22 minutes in fact against seen Hall but back to playing no minutes uh he is dealing with a shoulder issue of his own so right now with depal
They have a a ton of ailments on multiple players not that it matters the three and 19 the Tony Stubblefield era is surely going to be ending after this season um but looking at it they’re playing is starting five of Jaylen Terry Elijah Fischer Jaden Henley Churchill
Abass and Jeremiah Odin Jeremiah Odin is is relevant because uh I continue to hit his unders on everything his points props like they were at 11 and a half now they’re n and a half I think they’re at six and a half seven and a half and
I’m still hitting the under on him because he’s just so terrible for this team uh they continue to give him minutes and uh we’ll see what his props are here at the end but Jeremiah Odin unders are are extremely profitable right now um they need to play these
Youngsters abass The Freshman he should be playing 30 plus minutes going forward no reason not to uh Jaden Henley and Elijah Fischer both younger players that deserve minutes at this point just let them run as much as they can this uh this program’s in the toilet right now
They need to get a new coach in there and they need to to revitalize their nil program and figure out a way to bring talent in uh they have almost given up on deshun Nelson he’s barely playing 20 minutes off the bench now KT Remy coming
Back did play 30 in that game Ry is actually one of their better players right now and then Mac ettien who’s barely playing that was their big you know get in the transfer portal um looking at it pricewise we have some interest here in Churchill if he remains
A starter give me that close to 25 30 minutes against St John’s there could be some foul issues there but look at he put up 30 against Xavier super efficient 13 points and nine rebounds he’s Uber talented this is a a big-time transfer candidate at the end of the season and a
Lot of bigger programs will be looking to grab him so I do like him quite a bit against St John’s is not a Chase I think going forward he’s going to be one of their key players and somebody who puts up some pretty ridiculous numbers for a
Bad team and for DFS purposes we love players like that um Elijah fiser still pretty cheap at 53 playing 30 plus minutes as a starter he hasn’t been great lately but he’s on the floor a lot prefer him under 5K but that’s still a workable price I like Jaden Henley he’s
Got guard forward eligibility sitting there at 5-1 usually good for roughly or close to 4X at this price and we’re talking about a St John’s team that’s giving up fantasy points as bunches to multiple positions especially at the guard spot so I don’t mind using some of these depal guys I’m certainly
Not looking to stack them but I will sprinkle in various Henley Church Hill and fiser uh shares throughout my mme builds I liked KT Ry has actually been one of my favorite depal guys and I was using him quite a bit at like the 42 44
Prices at 56 it’s a little bit more difficult to get there with him not being a starter but clearly it looks like stubble Field’s committed to using him when healthy it is just a little bit risky paying that almost 6K price for a non-starter and then you have 58 Jaylen
Terry who is playing all the minutes he can handle some great rates on the team certainly a workable option but he’s going to be drawing the harshest part of the St John’s defense so don’t like him very much for that reason alone on the St John’s side it shouldn’t surprise you
Going up against the Paul that they’re all going to project quite well um it’s going to be a matter of how many St John’s do we want to play and do we want to worry about blowouts typically I I don’t worry about blowouts in college
Basketball as much as most do it’s not a a similar situation to the NBA where projected blowouts you got to be careful about rostering certain guys because they’re just not going to get the minutes that isn’t usually the case in college basketball we’ll see guys get
Pulled in blowouts but with the net and margin of Victory and all this stuff we’ll see guys play deep into games regardless of the score it will hit us once in a while when there’s a big blowout like Yukon beating somebody by 20 we see less minutes for guys so it
Will happen surely but it happens a lot less than it does and I’m going to continue to go with that so that means St John’s I’m not going to get cute here and be like well they’re probably gonna win by 2530 we’re gonna have to be careful to use them like let other
People feel that way and you’re still going to get 32 33 minutes out of Joel Sorano Denis Jenkins maybe ledum plays 2728 dingles playing 30 lately like there’s still plenty of fantasy goodness here and and to think that those guys in this matchup in 30 minutes can’t pay off
Would be a pretty silly thought as well looking at St John’s they ran this starting five they moved RJ Lewis to the bench last game after he was in major foul trouble the game before you might remember he hurt us pretty bad he projected super well but didn’t work out
Two games ago uh danis Jenkins Joel Sorano Jordan dingo Chris Lum and Brady Dunlap where you’re starting five then Lewis Off the Bench nahim alen Glenn Taylor and zubie iio for now ledum played 29 minutes he was fairly solid like he has been not great but solid is
Against Yukon uh Jordan Dingle though played 30 minutes and we’ve been tracking Jordan Dingle because he’s so cheap his minutes were trending up off the bench then he was starting now he’s playing 30 minutes he took 11 shots against Yukon in four or sorry three of
His last four games he has taken double digit shots he’s not a big peripheral guy but at 5K against a Paul taking 12 shots perhaps he should be able to pay off this 5K price and he’s one of I think the sneakier St John’s options because people are probably going to
Look to RJ Lewis who has Amazing Fantasy Point per minute number great rates he only needs technically needs like 19 to 20 minutes to pay off this 54 price so Lewis may end end up being popular maybe he won’t be since he’s not starting if
He doesn’t start again but I do like RJ Lewis but I think Jordan Dingle at 5K is is a a possible seat winner and gpp winner in large field because I think we’re talking about him finally breaking out having a game like he did at his time during Penn the last couple of
Seasons in which he puts up a 30 35 even especially if he gets hot we already know the volume’s going to be there those shots have to fall and he’s going to get plenty of opportunities against it depal defense that isn’t even trying at this point if you guys saw the video
I posted the other day they’re at the free throw line the Paul guy gets a rebound unaware complete lack of awareness that it’s you know what the situation is one one in one is the second of free throw gets the rebound and just throws it out of bounds to the
Ref having no awareness and no care about anything depal is not going to try very hard here Dingle should be able to fire any three at will that he wants if he knocks down three four five and gets super conf confident watch out he’s going to have a monster monster game
Joel Sano priced at 87 dannis Jenkins at 82 thank God they’re priced up we definitely want to consider them but when they’re priced in the 7K range and sorano’s price was dumping there bott’s price obviously we we we mirrored those two together they were struggling their prices were dropping they recently both
Just went off they’re both in the slate and they’re both priced appropriately so at 87 on Sorano is not a must but he’s probably putting up or going to flirt with 40 so if you want to find a way to get him in there it makes a lot of sense
I’m probably not on Jenkins to the same degree there 500 more for Sorano uh but I do like both of those players obviously and we’ll have exposure to both uh Chris ledum at 65 I think he also is one of the sneakier plays here next to Dingle just because he’s in that
Weird range people are going to be looking to pay up they’re going to be looking to do the stars and scrubs thing it’s pretty typical players in that range like Chris Lum at 65 tend to get ignored so I think that will be the case
If Lum gets into the low 30s range for minutes he’s clearly going to put up a 30 plus and and obviously beat value by a lot um as far as anybody else I don’t know that Dunlap he’s 37 alen 39 Taylor 38 like one of those guys will probably
Make value there and and if you’ve got multiple builds that you’re running sprinkling in some for you know some salary savings certainly makes sense but I don’t know that you can adequately predict what they will do for a main lineup Dunlap could play 18 to 20 minutes we could see Elaine play 25
Maybe Taylor starts like we’ll have to see what the starting lineup is which it has been changing quite a bit this year under patino uh and it’s not as if Taylor with minutes has been all that good anyway so don’t feel super obligated there um dingle’s cheap enough
At 5K that I don’t need to to you know gamble on a a 38 Glenn Taylor all right moving on to the next game here Indiana versus Ohio State Ohio State five and a half Point favorites total of 143 and a half now Indiana they they had major injuries a
Couple games ago Xavier Johnson now dealing with an elbow issue felt like he was gonna miss he did and then it also felt like Malik Renu would miss and he didn’t he was on crutches after you know the first two minutes of the Iowa game seemed like his ankle issue was going to
Really really cause him to miss a lot of time or be ineffective SL Limited did once he was ruled starting against Penn State he ended up playing 32 minutes which I was totally wrong about he did foul out in those 32 minutes and he didn’t look Limited at all so looking at
Renew at 73 and and going up against an Ohio State front court that certainly has physicality but he’s at 73 somebody who I think could obviously pay off here Kell wear has been phenomenal his price is up there at 9k 40 plus fantasy points in back-to-back games and he’s done that
Four of his last five against the likes of ruter Minnesota Iowa and Penn State struggled against Purdue but everyone tends to in the front Court there because guess what Zach he gets every whistle kware did have four fouls in that game played Just 26 minutes I’m
Glad to see he’s priced up to 9k the pricing on this slate is much stiffer than we’ve seen so DK really went through and and you know raised the guys that deserve to be race makes decision making a lot tougher and pays off those who are willing to take risks like us um
I do think he’s fine at 9k if you want to use him uh let’s pull up Indiana on my sheet here um so yeah he’s we could say like 33 to 34 minutes like matchup isn’t the greatest on paper against the Buckeyes he’s got to be considered matchup proof to agree but
We’re not talking about 76 here we’re talking about 9k so you know he’s probably putting up 35 and and pretty comfortably as well but opportunity cost we have other players capable if I’m right about Dingle hitting 30 to 35 for 4K less like you know there’s just going
To be some other guys here and I think you’re paying you’re paying a little bit too steep of a price for the matchup if this was Penn State again then I’d be like yes let’s pay any price that hell where is 10 six okay 11k okay but 9k
Against an Ohio State team that hasn’t been good but they could definitely cause we to have a by his standards mediocre game nobody on this Indiana team’s really going to be worthwhile Ando at 65 with renew and wear healthy and available seems like a tough price to pay uh Anthony Leo’s not
Going to get the minutes he only did last time because Xavier Johnson but they ended up starting Gabe cups even with Xavier Johnson hurt Leo played less than 20 CBS play ended up playing 32 33 so a little bit tough there to chase that one game blip from Leo Trey
Galloway is going to get a bunch of minutes but he 6K not that exciting cups is like the lowest Fantasy Point per minute player in the world so at 37 33 minutes you might think that’s a pretty decent value I have him at 32 minutes
Scoring 11 so um you know take that for what it’s worth and uh pton Sparks is back to getting zero minutes and Anthony Walker’s back to getting like five so they have a a a glutton of front Court players no backourt to speak of I don’t have a lot of interest in this
Indiana team I do have interest in Ohio State and I tend to do that a lot when Ohio State’s on the Slate I’m looking to roster them even though I’m not a big fan of this team overall they tend to project well in our sheet uh Bruce
Thoron at 69 playing 34 minutes against an Indiana team that has no perimeter defense to speak of you know Gabe cups Trey Galloway those guys are just not going to be able to contain Ohio State’s guards the people who can contain Ohio State’s guards are themselves Miss shots
Turnover lacad isical play that we’ve seen from some of their guards which is Uber frustrating we saw a situation late right like an hour or two before lck um Scotty Middleton ends up you know uh being ruled out the Ohio State mini Stacks looked really good against an
Iowa team that of course bleeds fantasy points and then we had a situation in which Grody Gale underperformed Bruce thoron underperformed uh Felix oara had a real big game and ended up playing all the minutes zedi barely played Evan Mai ended up fouling the whole game and our
Guy which was our sneak value Devin Royal played pretty well he had most of his fantasy points in at halftime didn’t play a lot in the second half but sitting there at 36 had right around 12 and a half fantasy points if Scotty Middleton were to sit out again and what
We know about Zed ke with him barely playing Devon Royal could be in line for closer to 20 minutes here going forward not too sure about the matchup against that Indiana front Court uh but he is a value that I would have interest in there especially if he were to sneak in
A starting lineup which probably won’t happen but I do like Royal and there’s at least a chance Scotty Middleton who is classified as day-to-day ends up playing um so looking at it I think the sub sevenk prices for both Bruce Thorton and Rody Gil put them firmly in play I
Don’t expect a lot of ownership on either of those guys but I also don’t expect them to be putting up you know 40s or anything like that super crazy some 27 to 32 is type scores which is great for them at that price I think there’s upside for more I think this is
The type of game that could go overtime I think Indiana is is not six well it could go either way I do think they can cover in this game I think it’ll end up being closer than Vegas does um but I I’m certainly going to be look looking
To use Gail and thoron quite a bit and we’ll see what happens there between Middleton it’s a shame Zed key is not playing any minutes we can scratch him completely off of our priority lists and overall our player pools in general Felix Oar at 5’9 has to be in
Consideration as well he actually project projects quite well at 28 minutes but I think there is some foul risk and some trouble aboard here with this Indiana front Court I think his rebounding upside will suffer to a degree so I’m looking at the Ohio State guards and if you want an Indiana front
Court player such as kware or Malik renew just understand they’re more of a luxury play and I don’t think you’re going to get the upside game that you’re looking for there from them this time all right moving on to the next game here I made it uh four games in without
With just one one tissue break it’s pretty damn good uh Houston versus Oklahoma State Houston 20 and a half Point favorites this Oklahoma State program is atrocious uh total of 129 this one’s going to be a a really rough one to watch um looking at Oklahoma State let’s pull up their
Starters because they did a they did a little bit of a different different stuff with their rotation Bryce Thompson’s going to be out long term possibly done for the season um they did beat Kansas State but this and we just saw Kansas State beat Kansas in overtime
Shows you the big 12 continues to beat up on themselves this same Oklahoma State team lost by 30 to Kansas so just shows you man anybody beats anybody in the Big 12 especially when it’s at home this was at the Gallagher arena for Oklahoma State when they beat Kansas
State they played John Michael Wright Javon small Cen Williams and Brandon Garrison 31 plus minutes as starters Connor da who’s been the the token fifth starter it’s my uh you know what I’m say about the fifth Beetle there that they they start but they play less minutes or
They don’t get any touches ended up playing just eight minutes jarus hickland also only played 11 minutes who had been the uh you know kind of their main bench piece there for a while and I had mentioned going into that game Jamari and Keller the 3K freshman it
Seemed like his minutes were trending up reports were that they wanted to get a more of a look at him now that he’s available he played 24 minutes against Kansas State and he looked really good I will not be surprised rised if Keller ends up playing a lot more but
Unfortunately this matchup is awful however he’s only 3.1k he went up $100 after he got 25 minutes against Kate in a close game I think that Keller is going to be part of this rotation going forward getting him close to 20 minutes at 3-1 even against Houston he
Has to be in consideration he provides us with a ton of salary savings and what I always say you guys could you guys can just predict it already it’s less about his overall score and more about the other guys that he allows us to roster
So if Keller Keller gets six and two x’s at at you know 3-1 you can’t just beat yourself up where you beat yourself up is if you roster let’s see uh let’s say you go with the full meal deal for Tristan Newton against the competitive Butler team and and Newton
Gives you 25 at 91 obviously that didn’t pan out but if Newton goes for 40 45 caraban sits again and Newton continues to just you know destroy worlds then you’re feeling pretty damn happy so uh have to think of it like that more about overall points from those combined salaries than Keller you
Can’t be sitting here relying on Keller to put up 10x or something like that because it’s just not a realistic thing and if he busts you’re not losing because of jarian killer I want to be understand I want you to understand that he is less of a risk than you probably
Realize at 3-1 and obviously going up against Houston I have a rule not to roster players against Houston until tournament time with that being said if Keller were to start probably won’t happen but if we think those minutes continue with no Bryce Thompson probably
Will happen then I think he has to be in consideration and he will be in my player pool and since I’m doing a lot of mme stuff lately I will certainly be willing to roster him a lot more than the average Joe uh if I’m running one lineup
Maybe not H it is new noteworthy that Ken Williams who was in the dogghouse for a few games due to his lack luster and poorest play turnover prone style of basketball did play 35 minutes against K State had one of his best games of his life so he’s back in the good graces
There uh we’ll probably continue to see him but he’s he’s you know in a dreadful matchup here on the Houston side we have a lot to like uh Jaan Roberts and Jamal shed are both expensive as they should be both playing 37 plus minutes in each
Of the last couple of games well worth it in this matchup even if it turns into a blowout Houston is used to being in those kind of games and because of the the the slow pace that they play and their defense chokes people out even in blowouts they do enough because of their
Rebounding their steals their blocks all the peripherals that most of their guys end up putting up pretty adequate scores anyways they beat Kansas state by over 20 recently at the foretta center and you had several guys such as Damen Dunn who it’s not a name we say
Very often uh Manny sharp Joan Roberts had pretty adequate games at their prices then Joan Roberts is a little bit expensive here in a potential blowout but just keep in mind these Houston guys they’re used to this they play well in these settings and I’m I’m feeling
Pretty good about rostering one or two of them um it starts for me with Manny sharp I am a big Manny sharp fan we usually hit his prop every time it’s nine and a half we’ll see what it is here in a minute um we’ve been hitting
The over nine and a half a lot you know he he stuck us a few times at nine but the last two games uh he’s hit them late especially the overtime game against Texas and he’s been playing quite well three of his last four over 20 fantasy
Points that 55 price is just really really reliable there for Manny sharp so I’m going to be probably heavily invested in him not a lot of people roster him and I think he’ll go overlooked here um just because he is like the fourth or fifth option on this
Team at any one time we did see Harvey our friend says played four minutes dealing with a hit pointer um that caused him to miss most of the Kansas game when he went out the Superstar to be freshman Joe tuger who I am just enamored with can’t wait to see him next
Season played 34 minutes eight points eight rebounds a block and two steals put up a huge score there of 23 fantasy points at 45 priced at 49 which one of the highest prices he has been all year long now we’re talking about with Francis available and probably back you
Know more into that 15 to 16 minutes there however if you want to play the blowout angle then maybe tuger se’s closer to 20 he has very fan Fantastic rates Fantasy Point per minute number is high we’re a little bit higher priced here at five when he’s at 41 putting up 15
We can take that but at almost 5K taking 15 it’s a little bit harder so he’s not quite the value extraordinaire that he has been because he doesn’t need minutes to put up these 15s but we’re obviously going to need 20 plus here at this price
If he were to draw the start and Francis they take it easy with him tuger at 49 would be a pretty big play for me so we’ll we’ll see how that shakes out um I’m probably looking at a main team of just m Manny sharp from this game in
General but I definitely like multiple Houston guys here throughout my my various builds LJ CER at 66 he’s getting up there for somebody who relies heavily on his scoring but he has been an absolute Assassin from long range six of 12 from downtown against Kansas he took
20 shots against them 17 against Texas when uh Deo gets tough LJ Cryer gets going as they say and he is just taking a ton of shots right now so 66 don’t mind him but not a probably not an OP will play at that price of almost
7K all right moving on to the next game here we’re going to be talking about Florida State versus Boston College now BC minus three total of 151 the FSU side man like I I think we might be seeing the last few days of Lenny Hamilton like he’s got a team
Relatively healthy they’re still struggling his his you know philosophy is just I don’t know just doesn’t seem to be working giving up 101 points to a terrible Louisville program after you know hanging tough against North Carolina uh and and really they went on a nice winning streak there for a while
Beating Georgia Tech Virginia Tech Wake Forest Notre Dame Miami close is loss to Clemson but something’s got to give here I do like them in this game like I feel like I want to bet them against Boston College but you know I’m I’m ready to have my heart broken by this team 27th
In Tempo top 50 in defense now the rotation is deep as ever like classic Lenny Hamilton playing you know 15 guys uh but one thing is he’s he’s playing Primo Spears a lot of minutes off the bench like I we need to see Primo jump into the starting five they run this
Like super gigantic starting five Darren Green 65 jir Watkins 67 Baba Miller’s almost 7 foot Deontay green 610 Jaylen wle 67 like they’ve got a sizable lineup and everybody on this team is is like six5 or taller except Primo Spears um he should go into the like pul Deonte green
Play Baba at the five maybe you play jir at the four which is what he normally plays anyways three four and let Primo Spears cook um one of the other props that we’ve been hitting a ton of is primo Spears over 11 and a half
And it was a pretty easy hit last game so I’m going to be looking to smash his props once again but I’m also looking at his 59 price here and thinking that I’m really gonna be high and and have heavy exposure here to Primo and when you look
Through his game logs nothing’s going to jump out too savagely but sub 6K for somebody taking this amount of shots looking at his rates like best on the team in shot rate at 29% highest on the team in us rate at 27.6% I take it back slightly behind jir
Watkins shooting 31% from long range needs to move that number up but he’s he’s taken 33 he has an assist rate nearing 20% steel rate of 3% like a big time player they they brought him in to use him and they need to start using him
More in a way that allows him to hard carry the game because their offense you know being carried late by Darren Green and sometimes Jaylen wle just it’s not the move watching it Darren Green is much better off ball not a primary Creator he can hit threes but they’re
They’re just the system that ly Hamilton doesn’t make a lot of sense so I do like Primo Spears and I think he gets back to playing more uh closer to 30 minutes he played 23 against Louisville there but uh 31 against North Carolina 30 against Syracuse 29 against Miami playing those
Kind of minutes here at 5’9 I think he’s a bit of a sneakier play maybe not safe enough there for Main lineup but he has been consistent if nothing else so Primo Spears is the guy that I want to look at here the most on the BC side Quinton
Post is a reasonable price at 83 he’s kind of floundered in the last couple of games and matchups where he really should have detonated Notre Dame and Syracuse both he suffered Mega foul trouble against Notre Dame that’s unfortunately something that happens to Quinton Bast more often than not and
That has curbed his upside throughout ACC play going up against FS you a a team like I mentioned there’s a reason for that with all that size I do worry about Quinton post again his rebounding upside suffering and getting into some foul trouble here so Quinton post not
Quite the Slam Dunk play that he’s been in the past and 83 like I said is a cheap price for gbps but I think we’re going to be hard pressed to use him in our main builds we do have Devin mlon here at 69 playing absolutely the best
Basketball of his career to this date uh 35 Plus minutes in four of his last five games and he’s picked up the slack whenever Quinton post has got into foul trouble or just not been playing well M Lockton has stepped up and acted as the alpha there on the front Court spot um
We do have value at 44 Chaz Kelly uh has gone up a little bit from his 39 price played 30 minutes against Syracuse made value there at 15 we have had him play 22 plus minutes and three straight as a cheap starter going up against a a you know FSU
Perimeter defense that certainly causes problems Chaz Kelly has a high foul rate which is a little bit worrisome but he is still in the conversation here for Value as he continues to start over guys like claudell Harris and prince igby who is been who has been starting but has
Seen his minutes start to dwindle all right moving on to the next game here we have Wake Forest versus Georgia Tech it’s a three and a half point spread in favor of Wake Forest total of 150 1 I like to pick on Wake Forest for and against and typically for and
Against Georgia Tech as well now Bay and Dongo suffered a head injury against North Carolina and it was expected to miss time but he ended up playing against NC State 19 minutes certainly didn’t look himself but that is a situation to monitor I believe he’ll continue to be available but maybe not
So effective just yet on the Wake Forest side it really comes down to which guard you can roster and we want to use somebody from this team going up against wake for or against Georgia Tech Tech they have been involved in some higher scoring games in conference and they
Have been playing Pace up even though overall this season they are a slower Tempo team they seem to get sped up by others and I do think Wake Forest will have success doing that now Wake Forest coming off a 9970 just a dominant win over Syracuse Hunter Salis 24 points in
That one Cameron hildr had 13 and 12 boy Miller 21 Andrew Carr 16 and3 Fon Reed had 8 and8 deari Monsanto we want to see him get Unleashed only 13 minutes off the bench there in a a dominant win he’s priced at 47 he played 11 minutes in his
Debut and put up 22 obviously ended up you know kind of slowing down there 15 minutes against North Carolina nine against pit and 133 against Syracuse so we can’t really use deari Monsanto but if you are a mme player I think sprinkling him into a few builds makes a
Lot of sense I would rather him be cheaper so we could absorb that hit but he obviously has a ton of upside because of his high shot rate and he can get really hot super quickly even though he’s only played those minutes he has taken a ton of
Shots 193 so far all 19 of his shots have been from long range in just four games and he’s shooting 48% from Long Range High Volume efficiency that’s going to be deari monsanto’s contributions to this team but until he gets closer to 20 minutes it gets really
Hard to justify using him in any capacity certainly not in your primary build cam hildr is the cheapest of the the main starters there at 66 he has been a forgotten player last year he made us a bunch of money in P props he has been a uh you know fourth in the
Pecking order at times for scoring behind sales Carr and bopy Miller but he does enough in the peripheral side of things with rebounds assists blocks that kind of thing he has to be in consideration here in this matchup against Georgia Tech so I do like him at
66 you have bopy Miller at 73 for a few hundred more nice gpp leverage type of play showed his upside against Syracuse he’s kind of struggled lately but that was a nice bounceback game for him and then you have Hunter Salis who’s the king of the castle right now at 8K I bet
Gonzago wishes they had him right about now four straight games of 26 plus fantasy points he has taken a tremendous amount of shots the game against Pittsburgh was just surgical nine of 20 from the field 22 reel points six rebounds they ended up losing that game but Salis was just instrumental in that
One and followed it up with a really nice four of five from three-point range game against Syracuse got to like Hunter Salis but you are paying a premium there of 8K Fon Reed at 75 and Andrew Carr at 78 both priced up a little bit high for
Me but if ever a matchup for them to detonate in it is here against this Georgia Tech Team who does have Bay and Dongo who’s a solid front Court you know presence but dealing with the head injury and and maybe you know seeing stars at times I think Fon Reed could
Honestly have a really big game here but on the road foul risk definitely puts him lower on my priority list than the rest um not needing to shoot or score very much to put up fantasy points he is a elite shot blocker great rebounder just needs to be able to stay on the
Floor here and I do think he can work B and Dongo if he can stay out of foul trouble on the Georgia Tech side Miles Kelly has been kind of an enigma he did put up 38 last game at 59 which causes his price to shoot back up
To almost 7K it is one of his more expensive prices the last couple of weeks he he tends to seesaw he’ll put up those big games and then he’ll he’ll intermittently put up a 10 um so he is a high volume shot taker but the consistency just isn’t there with Miles
Kelly I think he would have been better suited to be a robin instead of a Batman and needed more of a an alpha playmaker next to him instead of him being that so we’ll see those inconsistencies there and I don’t actually like him all that much against Wake Forest Believe It or
Not Nathan George who took over the starting lineup a couple of months ago he has become way better than I ever expected uh 28 plus fantasy points in three of his last five double digit shots and four straight and getting himself to the foul line at a high rate
He’s priced at 6’3 every time his price goes up I feel like well it’s easy to write him off I can’t pay that price for him but he continues to keep paying off and producing at a high level and of the lone consistent options on Georgia Tech
Right now we do get my guy kaisy Reeves at a cheap price his price went up after some big games it’s Fallen back down to 52 the concerning part is that he’s only played 20 minutes in each of the last two games after a string of playing 30
Plus in the three prior so minutes are certainly a concern and a reason why it might not be wise to use quacy Reeves right now in anything beyond a alt lineup now looking at the competitive loss to NC State last time they went with a deeper rotation they played at
About 910 the starter still Nathan George Miles Kelly Bay and Dango a guy Reeves and Ebenezer danana but they played tan Cloud who was a big non-con playay and then barely played it at times during the conference games 25 minutes Kyle’s third event 27 minutes and tafara gapare who has played really
Well lately 21 minutes Debo d Coleman played 14 Dano starts but he always plays less than 10 minutes so we can wipe him away that means one of deson cloud or gapare is going to absorb those Center minutes Reeves normally played 30 but lately he’s been playing 20 and now
It appears he’s splitting time with tashon cloud and then we see Kyle Covance sliding in there as well so that is kind of cannibalizing all of their upsides and making them very low in place but tan Cloud at 51 is somewhat interesting he has played 23 Plus
Minutes in three straight games and if you go back to the early non-con games um what early November he put up back-to-back 30s and looked like he was going to be a key person for this team quickly fell out of the rotation in a bench piece there with the emerg of bay
And Dongo but Circle to Sean Cloud because he might be relevant here especially if he’s going to be taking those minutes from Ebenezer danana at the five um how Stant he’s a little bit expensive at five one for me just because there’s no consistency when he
Is a sub four five type of player he’s interesting they’re certainly looking to get him in the rotation more and then at 42 Tara gapare backtack 20 plus Fantasy Point games clearly gives them more uh than what they’re getting out of danana and they’re wanting to to continue to use
Him in ways I get the North Carolina game he was fantastic eight rebounds three blocks he has actually got six blocks in his past two games Uber athletic another player that could be in line for more minutes here if Bayon Dongo is not 100% so somebody to
Consider there all right moving on to the next one Clemson versus North Carolina the tar Hills are eight-point favorites total of 153 and a half kind of want to bet Clemson here eight-point dogs against North Carolina but geeez North Carolina is rolling right now you got to
Look at it like Purdue and Yukon those are the two best teams in the country right now maybe Houston is is somewhere close but North Carolina is quickly flying up the board here and Hubert Davis has gone from you know talks of is he really the right guy you know they
Lost back-to-back games in December to Yukon in Kentucky that overtime game early in November to villan Nova and right before ACC play there were people talking about man Hubert Davis isn’t the guy but they have rattled off a really impressive string of wins the Georgia Tech Road loss like there’s going to be
Hiccups like that there’s so much parody in college basketball and and winning on the road is tough regardless of opponent um a a a very dominant win what I felt like was a dominant win against Duke 9384 took care of business against a a good Wake Forest team at home by a lot
They they’ve just mowed through the teams that they’ve had to mow through uh on the road against Clemson the first time they played it was 6555 and I really was surprised by that I thought Clemson would be far more uh competitive there at home part of the problem was PJ
Hall was in foul trouble the whole way only played 24 minutes and that’s certainly on the road here G to be the risk for PJ he’s fantastic he is one of the best for dest purposes players in all of college basketball but foul risk against that front Court of North
Carolina is very very high um we saw Armando Bott he had 16 rebounds against Clemson that first meeting RJ Davis had 14 Harrison Ingram only nine and four but this was before Ingram’s Ascension to what he is now playing a phenomenal basketball looking at North Carolina the
Prices are up for everyone as they should be now we had I referenced it earlier during the St John’s game we had Armando Bott slipping into this 8K range then it was 75 then it was 72 and it was like man can we really even play Armando
Anymore but against Duke 251 and5 45 fantasy points he goes from 73 to 86 I think North Carolina the fact that they’ve been winning without utilizing Armando Bott that much actually really terrifies me because there was zero chance Bott was going to continue to play this Lazi Fair style like he was
Gonna enforce himself on the game they were gonna have to wake up and and feature Armando Bott this veteran been in college basketball since the Reagan Era they got to they got to utilize him and they did against Duke and I think you’re going to see going forward
Your Mom and Dad’s version of Armando Bott that we’re used to he’s priced at 86 though so he’s back up to a range now where pre uh pre January where he was struggling you know 86 Rond Bott was considered cheap uh you’re talking about a player who you know to start the year
Was nearly 10K so 86 technically isn’t that expensive for Armando Bott like our version of arando Bott the January version whatever that was 86 would be considered a little bit too high but I think he has woken up now in going up against Clemson a team that
He already had 14 and 16 against last time they played I think bott’s in line for another Marquee performance now the highest pric player on the team is actually Harrison Ingram who has made us some really good money while while Bott was struggling in January we were taking
Sub 20% own Harris and Ingram and rolling to the bank quite often you saw against BC 33 30 against wake 46 against against Florida State 31 against Georgia Tech which was a down game and then 52 against Duke just a a massive 2113 rebound game four steals now he’s
Priced super expensively you R you can’t probably realistically pay 89 for rram over an 86 Bott but I do not think Ingram’s production is going to stop here that sticker price is shocking considering that he lives in the 7K to 75 range I still want to heat check him
He’s been very good for us we’ve continued to roster him a lot over Bott um so I’ll probably end up splitting the two exposure wise but I think uh a lot of people might just fade them because of the price increase which is going to be a mistake and then W wedged in
Between those two RJ Davis at 88 the consistent option like if Ingram’s having a down game then you know RJ Davis or Armando bott’s probably having a good game and vice versa but RJ Davis has been consistent between the two putting up no less than 30 more often
Than not now at almost 9k we need that closer to 40 which he’s capable of but if the two big men are going to be going off that does shave the upside off of RJ Davis I think Davis ends up being super low owned here and he’s worth a strong
Strong amount of ownership in all formats here not only as a leverage piece but as a safer option as well there for your main lineup if you wish to go that route then there’s a significant drop off after the top three cormack Ryan could take it or leave it
With him he did have a nice game against Duke there hit a couple of three 22 fantasy points so he’s he’s okay Elliott could do it 52 he’s not really a scoring threat he had a big game against wake and FSU but you saw one of nine shooting
Against Duke two of seven against Georgia Tech his shot attempts have gone up lately which I don’t know that that’s the best thing for the team but they have been winning those games so I I don’t know if that’s a new thing thing here one thing Kell Elliot kdo does well
Is attack the basket and draw fouls he gets to the foul line at a pretty high clip in conference play and he generates points there so the 5-2 price point is uh an interesting you know amount there for him if you can’t get exposure to the higher price options and you want
Somebody from North Carolina I don’t mind kadu but he’s obviously not a priority by any stretch of the imagination and his play has kept Seth Trimble at Bay but Trimble has played 20 plus minutes in back-to-back games and has been paying off at his cheaper price of 37
Now he’s 43 don’t hate the idea of using Seth Trimble if you want to go that route on the Clemson side PJ holl at almost 9k he’s been really consistent yes but the upside has been there far less than it has for other options at his range we saw against Georgia Tech 31
And 17 you know blew the doors off of that slate there it was an extra period game as well um since then he’s been putting up 30 pretty consistently we need more than that at almost 9k he did take 20 shots against Louisville 16 against Virginia 13 against Duke so there’s that volume
There but I’m very nervous that he plays under 30 minutes in this spot and gets into major foul trouble which is actually what the case was last time they played North Carolina he only put up 22 that would be an absolute disaster I think a lot of people will be nervous
About using PJ Hall so if you’re a leverage type of player like I tend to be then you want to get exposure here at the hall just in case because he’s probably going to be one of his lower owned you know uh sub 10% for one of the very few times that that
Happens this year and if he pans out you’re going to be flying on top of the boards but you have to be okay knowing that he could sit down early with two fouls if bod gets his way other options on Clemson like before we’re okay targeting against North
Carolina now I’m starting to back off if we think PJ Hall does get into fou trouble Ian shiin makes sense he had 52 against North Carolina that might surprise you bet you didn’t even realize that he had 16 Points 11 rebounds four blocks and five steals which is why his
Price or why his score went so high nine stocks not something you can really rely on but he does have a pretty good matchup when he’s avoiding bayot and if Hall isn’t so if Hall sits with two early fouls shiin steps up there I do like him especially on the rebounding
Side we’ll look at his rebounding props here at the end uh shiin is nice because he isn’t required to score a bunch he can put up six real points and still give you a 40 that is in his bag of tricks he isn’t that cheap at 74 but
He’s definitely a guy who has embraced his Robin role playing like Hunter Tyson did last year you guys might remember from Hunter Tyson you can put up a lot of stats there in that spot next to PJ Hall all right after that it drops in price nobody else above 6K you have high
Usage high volume guy Joey Gerard but all he’s going to give us is scoring 5’9 is an okay price and then you have Chase Hunter at 5’7 he would be my preferred look over Joey Gerard he has better overall rates but for whatever reason this year Hunter has been uh far less of
A facilitator at least consistently in his assist numbers have tanked which has hurt his overall value quite a bit uh and then you have some some value pieces here chony Wiggins who uh played 33 minutes against Louisville back to sub20 there you know as a a part-time
Starter fell out and he’s back in starting lineup he’s an okay look but uh not the best you know possible Target there especially with Jack Clark healthy and playing he is taking you know approximately 15 to 16 minutes away from the front court options which has really
Come out of chony Wiggins total and also has significantly hurt RJ godfried who has failed to register 20 minutes in any of the last four games so values on Clemson are pretty lackluster all right next game on the Slate here Iowa state versus Texas Texas Two and a Half Point favorites total of
141 I do like the Iowa State Side here even though again it’s hard to win on the road in college basketball uh kenpom does have it 7372 in favor of Texas I like this Cyclones Club tjs has has got this club roll they’re 16 and five top five and defensive efficiency they are
Just a a turnover they they force their their opponents into some really really bad decisions they force turnovers like no other uh this will be a really tough spot for Texas um especially with the uh you know Kendall Weaver kid playing more minutes on the perimeter they’re going
To be harassing him you can believe anytime he touches it the Iowa State Side close loss they suffered to Baylor there they typical starting lineup Robert Jones Trey King to Min lip seed now that he’s healthy Sean Gilbert and Milan mom kleich they do bring Curtis Jones and Hassan ward off the bench
Which are the two main pieces now lipy didn’t have a very good game against Baylor which was a bit disappointing for me I he was projecting pretty well for me I do like the idea of going back to lipy here in this spot against Texas hostile environment but we just saw the
Game in the Texas played uh uh Houston how that one went and the guard play that that Houston had against Texas was phenomenal lipy has failed to hit 30 in any of his last four games has been dealing with the shoulder issue which may have something to do with it but
He’s priced at 71 which is a really low low price for him the upside is massive and you look pre- shoulder injury he was putting up 38 46 54 with regularity a regular Tyrese halber uh phenomenal so I like this as a bounceback opportunity do for him where people may have soured on
Him a bit with Kon Gilbert playing so well and Curtis Jones working himself into such a viable role for this team you look at lipy 25.1% usage rate 23.2% shot rate 32 and a half% assist rate and he has the fourth best steal rate in the country at 6% shooting 37% from long
Range as well and drawing five fouls per 40 so I’m very heavily involved in to Min lipy here against Texas Sean Gilbert’s actually more expensive than him at 76 coincides lip’s been pretty blackluster the last four Gilbert has been tearing it up and when lipy had to
Miss a game or two there with the shoulder issue Sean G Gilbert Just he ascended to this Alpha roll and he hasn’t given it back yet I would like him to give it back to Tim lipy but he may not be ready yet uh five of six from
Downtown against Baylor 31 plus fantasy points and four straight um but again more expensive than lipy I’ll take the cheaper option there between the two Milan mom kleich he’s playing a lot of minutes at 5’8 but he doesn’t have the highest upside and I especially don’t like him against Texas
I don’t think he fares quite as well as the guards will Curtis Jones at 57 primary sixth man he’s an interesting gppp look he has pop he has a higher shot rate we know what he can do and then you have this string of Cheaper front Court players from Trey King who’s
There at 55 uh to Hassan Ward at 53 Robert Jones at 52 kind of like Jones at 5-2 for some value there not a priority play by any means but I think he they will need to give him more minutes here against this Texas front court all right Switching
Gears to Texas this is a tough spot Iowa State’s defense they are definitely one of the teams there are a few teams that I just won’t Target against and they typically tends to be Houston and Iowa State and sometimes Virginia especially right now the 2024 version of Virginia
I’m not targeting against them we had the two games late today I didn’t Target against them can take anyone against Virginia right now so I for me Iowa State’s in that group which is hard because you know I’m the biggest Dylan D sou fan outside of Texas uh and I’m
Always wanting to roster him and they until now they haven’t priced him right he’s been under 8K all season long since he was ruled eligible and healthy and all that and now they finally have priced him appropriately at 84 and I think it’s going to be really hard to
Roster him here against Iowa State at that price um you know staying out of foul trouble will be key and I think he can but I don’t know that he’s going to put up this big like 18 and 12 type number that he’s going to need at 84 so I’m I’m for
The first time in a long time a little sour on D Su I’ll probably still sprinkle him in somewhere but I do not expect him to have a a monster game here against this Iowa State team uh same said for Dylan Mitchell whose price was
Pretty low lately but he’s gone up to 76 after back-to-back 30 same reason I can’t use to Sue I’m probably not on Mitchell Mad Max Asus at 79 we know he’s a high volume High usage guy he’s relatively matchup proof but I you know don’t love him here either uh really
Just looking to Kendall Weaver who got the start over itho Horton Horton is basically being phased out and I still think there’s some sort of hidden injury like to start the season Horton was a big part of this team and we know throughout his collegiate career how how
Good been like he started off with back-to-back 30s and then the rice game he ended up barely playing and it said there was an injury and ever since that Rice game he’s been in and out of the rotation even as a starter and playing just three minutes off the bench if he
Doesn’t start which I don’t think he will go back to the starting lineup he’s just not usable so Kendall Weaver as the starter who was a really phenomenal player last year uh for Lamar freshman Player of the Year getting big time minutes played 33 against TCU 26 against
Houston 25 against BYU and 27 against Oklahoma we can pretty confidently assume those minutes are going to continue uh again not a really ideal spot against Iowa State and he played 26 against Houston scored just 12 against Oklahoma which is also a tough defense
In 27 minutes he put up 21 but more tape on him defense coaches have had an opportunity to see him now as a starting role they’ll know how rattle him so I’m a little bit worried there but 33 minutes at 47 I mean that’s got to be in
Consideration uh getting closer to that 5K range so we need more like 20 but a 15 to 16 also won’t kill us here and he does a fair good job in all peripheral categories I do like Kendall Weaver I think he’s gonna be a big time player for this team next year as
Well uh and then that leaves us with Tyrese Hunter at 5’6 which there’s not really Revenge at this time he’s been on Texas for what two years now so uh and we’re at the same exact position we were at with Hunter last year he’s in a sub 6K price point that’s really appealing
But it’s going to give us 20 you know maybe so not really that excited I’m I’m much higher on the Iowa State side and I’m going to be pretty close to Allin on to men lipy uh this is the type of slate where I want to have three or four guys
That I’m going 70 75% or higher on he is definitely one of those that I’m going to be riding I don’t expect High ownership on him and this is one of those classic by low opportunities all right next game on the Slate here BYU versus Oklahoma Oklahoma Sooners
Onepoint favorites total of 150 and a half BYU look out here we’ve been waiting for uh you know them to kind of switch up there lineup a little bit get fusen trayor in as a starter uh they did so he played 30 1 minutes there his presence just killed Noah Waterman
Waterman played only 16 minutes we saw Trevon Nell and Richie sunders play 20 Off the Bench but it was D Hall Spencer Johnson fusini trayor and Jackson Robinson playing 30 plus minutes majority of the time there that is going to be something to watch because if
Trayor remains a starter and I’m sure he will now he is priced at 66 which is a massive price increase from last game but still very much in consideration trayor was a big time piece for this team in past Seasons he is a very productive player when given minutes the
Problem this season was that you know he missed a big chunk of time all of December and it took time to get him acclimate re acclimated back to the lineup you know playing nine minutes seven minutes to start the season in November he was a starter playing 30
Plus minutes a game and he was highly productive games of 12 and eight eight 18 3 and three 174 and two like putting up these really solid numbers and you’ve seen his usage rates in the last four games are ridiculous 30% usage rate against West Virginia as a starter off
The bench against Texas 36% Off the Bench against Houston 34% and Off the Bench against Texas Tech 50% usage rate in 12 minutes eight points8 rebounds and assist all over the place there against Texas Tech fusen trayor is the real deal and he is going to be a really big play
For me as long as he continues to start um I don’t care about the price increase it’s still it’s still too cheap for what he’ll bring to this club uh Noah Waterman at 57 we can just pretty much log off uh for him I think he’ll be in
Risk of losing his starter spot but even if he doesn’t you saw there they he just didn’t get the minutes um which is a bit alarming but clearly those are going to go to trayor still have a cheap price on Jackson Robinson at 5’8 who was okay
Against West Virginia put up 21 and a half need a little bit more there as long as he continues to start though he’s a lock for 30 plus minutes overall his rates are are pretty solid as well um still one of my favorite plays on the team not named trayor he has a
28.2% shot rate shooting 37% from long range uh big fan of this kid Jackson Robinson so I’ll have exposure there at 5’8 he’s somebody who makes a lot of sense there as like the last guy last player in uh two spots that you have left type of
Deal Trevon Nell is only 55 he has not gotten back to the starting lineup but that is a role he was in prior to his foot injury and he was a a very you know key component to this team so keep an eye out for him to possibly return as a
Starter right now Off the Bench it’s a little touch and go there if we can use him because he played 28 minutes 13 and then 23 so I have no guarantee of minutes there and until he’s back in the starting lineup but Nell is a guy that
As they get closer to March they’re going to start utilizing him more and if that foot injury you know an issue is behind him there’s no reason to think that he won’t Ascend back into a primary role for this team 44% three-point shooter the best long range Gunner they
Have 21% shot rate and overall somebody who is a key factor for this team they have a a Litany of guards which makes it a little bit hard but if they decide to switch up this starting and put Noah Waterman to the bench we might see Nell inserted back into the
Starting lineup or even Ali Khalifa if he is back um he and speaking of Khalifa he’s officially listed as questionable but it was due to an illness so I think we’ll see him return either way and there could be a chance that maybe Khalifa goes back in starting lineup but with
The way trayor is playing it would be really really weird for him not to be a starter uh and then you have D Hall priced at 67 with all the the other cheap options on the team like Hall’s really good no doubt look at his rates
Uh you know 19% shot rate shooting 38% from long range one of the highest assist rates on the team at 28% he does a little bit of everything for BYU but we much rather get the slight discount for similar numbers whether that’s from Jackson Robinson or a returning to the
Starting lineup Trevon now or simply just paying for trayor who isn’t going to have the best of times on the road against Oklahoma especially against a porter Moser coach team but his upside is just way too massive here on the Oklahoma side the prices for these guys are dropping very very
Quickly uh a tough outing going up against UCF recently Javon McCullum under 20 fantasy points his price has dipped he’s had some pretty mediocre performances lately he got up there to about 75 was starting to near 8K because of how consistent he was but the last
You know week or two of the season he’s failed to register 20 fantasy points or more three times in his last four now he’s priced at 6’2 which is a definite by low opportunity here another one of those here from molum who’s still taking
A ton of shots uh and is still the you know the what I would consider to be the alpha on this team even though Oklahoma’s lost three of their last four there’s still time for them to write the ship and it has to be through McCullum
26% shot rate 24% usage rate 23% assist rate shooting 34% from long range excellent free throw shooter almost 92% which is 10th best in the country jvon McCullum is that guy 62 I’m certainly looking to get him in and he’s not a guy who is historically very high owned so
We’ll get some pretty low roster ship on him across the board in all formats egga AI only 5.7k two straight lackluster games but tough road environments at K State and at UCF now they beat K State like the doors off of them but egga AI
Was not good in that game in fact a lot of guys weren’t it was a more of a team effort in that one it’s a weird statline uh then you have Milo suzan at 56 he’s typically the third in line for me regardless of price anyways now that
They’re so bunched up and molum is so cheap it doesn’t make a lot of sense to roster Milos um and then you have raldo Suarez there at 52 who has been playing pretty well lately has seen an increase in minutes but he’s still the fourth fifth or sixth option majority of the
Time and he’s not that cheap anymore at 52 it’s only onek more for Mulla as far as front court options go galon Moore has played phenomenally well now he was one of the key pieces against K State 23 and N he followed that up with 10 points and 11 against a tough
UCF team so there might be a tendency for people to roster more here if they’re looking to Oklahoma but BYU has the type of front Court to give him problems so I don’t think he’s as big of a Lock and Load as some others might consider him at the 61 price point but
He’s certainly been one of the best players on the team the last week or two uh then you have cheapies you have Sam Godwin there at 47 uh pretty lackluster performance against UCF but back-to-back 20s before that he’s kind of interesting I think that if he can
Stay on a foul trouble we might see a season high in minutes for him and then John hugley was so good for a season there Pittsburgh hasn’t really gotten into the flow of things here under Porter Moser system Moser runs a pretty tough system for guys to get it involved
With or figure out we saw that with several transfers last year hugle just hasn’t been able to get it going and I don’t think he’s us go at 46 right now until he does but he’s quickly running out of season to do so all right next game on the Slate Kentucky versus
Vanderbilt Vanderbilt uh I like them in this game ky’s eight and a half Point favorites total of 152 I like the vanderbelt side to cover and I don’t like vanderbelt very often so that should tell you something with Kentucky they’re dealing with you know injuries Galore they seemingly are getting
Everybody back into the mix they do have DJ Wagner the last one not to return he’s dealing with a severe ankle injury and it sounds like he’s going to miss yet another game so no DJ Wagner for the most part against Vanderbilt which means we can look to some other options here
For Kentucky now they lost in overtime to Florida in a game they had to probably have and then they lost at home to Tennessee giving up 103 to the vs kuy’s defense quickly falling apart it was never really all that good to begin with this season but it’s even worse now
In conference they play at the 14th fastest Pace they have a top 10 offense per Ken pal but defensively they’re outside the top 100 looking at what they’ll do without Wagner they did return Justin Edwards so starting five was Reed Shepard Antonio Reeves Trey Mitchell Justin Edwards
Andana an yenzo Rob Dillingham played 27 Off the Bench he went nuts 35 points to be exact Aaron Bradshaw 16 minutes off the bench and AD do Tiaro 23 Off the Bench now tiero had started a few games there but was moved to the bench in favor of the returning Justin Edwards
And Edwards again was struggling four fouls and 18 minutes seven points four rebounds Reed Shepard had a nice game 165 and six before fouling out Antonio Reeves 21 now on yenzo had the most ridiculous game of all time just two games ago it’s Florida 54 he had eight
Blocks he is an elite rim protector the fact that he is so Stout down low has gained him the starting spot and pushed Bradshaw to the bench in a a secondary role where he’s play barely playing minutes now now he had four blocks against Tennessee but he only played 18
Minutes in that 2.6 rebounds now he had 13 points against Florida 11 attempts he typically isn’t going to be getting those kind of attempts he’s going to be shooting two three times they’re not going to feature him on offense all of his stuff’s going to have to come from
Putbacks where he gives us value is through his rebounding ability and his shot blocking ability but he’s priced at 63 which is pretty steep now the matchup against Vanderbilt is phenomenal and he should be able to put up 10 plus rebounds maybe three four blocks if we
Can predict blocks kind of hard to do but I don’t know that he scores enough to really be a main team viable play at that 63 price point we are seeing him you know command that spot though in the lineup zamir risovich who had the big game against Georgia in his debut he’s
Failed fa to play more than 10 minutes in any of the last three games he’s you know pretty raw still so we’re going to see on yenzo playing at least I think 20ish minutes here as the starting five Bradshaw probably getting in there playing 15 to 18 but on yenzo just gives
Them a a whole different look right now that they really like now Dillingham and Shepard both priced in the mid 8K range that’s tough the matchup again against Vanderbilt is ridiculous Shepard I’m glad I’m glad to see Dillingham priced at 86 after he put up a a 50 against Florida 33 you know
Coming off the bench it’s tough 28 minutes though Off the Bench against Tennessee very high Fantasy Point bur in number his rates are fantastic it’s just really hard in my mind to pay 9k for a kid coming off the bench there uh has to remain super efficient and he and he has
Been and he’s getting a matchup in which he can dominate so it wouldn’t surprise me if he put up 30 or 40 again but that opport opportunity cost just really hurts my heart Reed Shepard I’d be more apt to play at 84 there getting starter minutes without DJ Wagner um you know
Similar High shot rate putting up massive massive numbers contributes in all categories High assist rate just playing great so I I would be better I think for 200 cheaper you know it’s negligible but I feel better in my mind playing Reed Shepard over Rob dilling him some might feel differently but
That’s kind of how I’m looking at it uh Antonio Reeves you know the best scorer on the team consistent 77 putting up 30s doesn’t have the spikes of Shepard and Dillingham but he doesn’t have the lows of them either just really steady performer so I don’t mind Reeves there
Um tiar at 48 even coming off the bench it looks like he’s in this rotation uh I’ve always liked to do Tiaro just hasn’t been able to get the opportunity now he is so I don’t mind using him at 48 just to get some cheaper exposure here Justin Edwards is 45 it’s crazy
Because Edwards expected to be the top player on this team as far as freshman go it hasn’t worked out for him with this program I still want exposure to him somewhere but he’s Far and Away you know never getting into a main lineup for me again until he turns a corner in
Not just one game but multiple games at that and then you have Bradshaw at 48 you know well behind on yenzo at this point so I don’t even think you can utilize him and then Trey Mitchell at 79 who is played a a really good role for this
Team but there’s only so much basketball to go around he was shut down against Tennessee and you saw three of his last four he’s been under 30 price needs to come down here with the you know even without Wagner the emergence of anzo on the glass Mitchell’s not a true five he
Was playing undiz Five because none of their other centers were healthy now that they are we’re seeing Mitchell’s numbers start to dip a little bit I think the minutes will still be fine and he’s still an app scorer but I don’t know that his peripherals will remain as
Strong as they were earlier this season so he’s probably not going to be a guy that I roster very much right now either Vanderbilt side Ezra manions only 61 he dogged me over the weekend uh very close to a seat very very close it was Ezra
Manion versus uh Evan Taylor and the guy who ultimately beat me out for the seat got a a 25 from Evan Taylor who you know was taking the shots Ezra Manion couldn’t make a shot there late ends up with 22 lose the seat by a point and a
Half hurts my heart hurts my heart but I’m I’m going back to Manion because kuy’s defense awful Manion should have a a Breakout game here if nothing else he’s gonna take 15 to 20 shots so there’s gonna be a massive amount of volume there he’s doing a great job of
Getting himself to the line and when he’s not scoring he’s typically going to be assisting on those buckets so if Tyron Lawrence is scoring or Van Allen Lubin are scoring it’s likely going to be off the hands and a dime of Ezra Manion so I’m playing that angle there
Um Lawrence 75 Luben 71 like they’re both pretty expensive I know they had some big games recently and and this matchup is just as good for them as it is Manion but why don’t we just take the discount there 61 from 75 and get a similar output there um it wouldn’t make
Sense not to so manion’s going to be the main guy here for me for Vanderbilt and I am going to be probably using him in a majority of my lineups uh Evan Taylor guard forward eligibility had the good game against Missouri I’m not chasing that I I think that was an outlier for
Him he had 11 rebounds like get out of here with that um and then a 5-3 Jason Rivera Torres who has some of the best rates on the team but his minutes the last couple of games are just gone so uh can’t really use him right now um
Which is a shame because I think he’s really good but you know how it is with stack house he’ll start uh JQ Roberts randomly or or you know bring his bench off and start them and then play him two minutes so it’s really hard to to Peg
What stack house does but I think we want to keep our exposure here to Manion Luben and Lawrence and for me that’s going to be majority of Ezra Manion all right last game on the Slate here we’ve got Yukon versus Butler the total here is 147 Yukon
14-point favorites and I got to tell you man this Yukon team right after they won the title I was confident in that regardless of what happens with their roster who they lose who they bring in like this Championship window is open the way Dan Hurley coaches he runs a
Sophisticated and complicated system his kids know it front to back side to side in and out and they run it to a te just watch like watch Connecticut I don’t know I I hope hope you guys watch a lot of games I’m always preaching to watch
Games and there was a few of you in the Discord talking about watching a game the other day and helping you realize like a certain player stands in the corner like it’s very important to not only pay attention to you know the various spots and look at numbers but
Watching games and as many as you can maybe you replace your you know for the next month the you and the wife watching I don’t know you know the The Good Wife or whatever the hell you watch I I don’t know I don’t watch TV so
Um I I stream a lot of games so replace that show with watching you know uh different teams different games getting an idea because it’s going to help you so much in March there’s something to be said about watching games and pairing that with numbers and research and all
That that really makes you a a a elite player because you might see somebody who oh this guy had a really big game you know two times in a row but he was you know came off the bench hit three threes stands in the corner wasn’t doing
A whole lot this team playing is going to run him off the line he’s going to be chalk I think I’ll fade him this game like something simple like that anyways watching Yukon play their system is just ridiculous and then if you turn around and you watch another team that that
Doesn’t run any offense like you know it’s low hanging fruit but to Paul and you’ll see that they’re just playing rat ball out there and they’re not even calling plays anymore so it’s like you’re not even watching the same sport or even my huskys with Mike Hopkins like
He tries to run a system but it’s so archaic it’s not even the same sport compared to what Yukon runs um and it’s not that kids on the Huskies can’t run that complicated system it’s just they don’t have a a smart enough coach to teach it to them all right um so Yukon
Big-time favorites here Ken bom has a 8168 this it is a little bit High Butler will need Posh Alexander obviously um him missing that game the other day was a bit of a surprise he’s dealing with a foot issue which is why he didn’t play play against kraton
Um he’s been dealing with this ankle issy or this foot issue for a a little while it’s not a new thing um so we’ll see I think it’s just he’s been playing through it and and you know how Posh BL just with high intensity I think he just
Finally gave out on him and flared up so we’ll see what happens there but they certainly need him he’s he’s been so good for this team part of the reason why they’re they’re even you know remotely uh winning games now the first time that they played Yukon they lost
8881 and Posh was awful in foul trouble and turnover so he wasn’t a big factor against them but they were in that game um pulling it up here let’s get it Friday January 5th Telford had 16 DJ Davis was knocking down three after three Posh was in foul
Trouble which is part of the problem Pierre Brooks knock down a bunch of Threes the fact that they shot 48% from long range is the reason why it was even a game at all so Butler will have to shoot lights out once again to have a chance and regardless of how bad Posh
Played in that first matchup they need him in order to be anywhere compare or comparable to running with Yukon and not losing by 20 plus points now without Posh they did win against kraton 9998 and don’t look now but this Butler team at 15 and seven they’re thinking tournament they’re going in opposite
Direction than Miami is which you just saw L loose today uh they started Landon more with Posh out he would be the key you know value there if that is the case again he played 24 minutes eight points two rebounds two assists now the matchup sucks obviously he’s only priced at 35
So even in a tough spot like that giving him 20 plus minutes we have to consider him in All formats um he doesn’t need to do a lot hit a three or two get a couple of assists you know grab a rebound there’s not a lot that we need at 35 so
If Posh is out Landon Moore is definitely going to be a value play that we look to in all formats um telfort at 8K he just I mean he had just like the most ridiculous performance against van Villanova uh vanilla Villanova 22 and 11 followed that up with 26 against kraton
Like he’s just playing phenomenally well but can you imagine paying 8K for him against Yukon I certainly can’t this is another team like I mentioned uh I don’t play guys against Iowa State very often won’t play guys against Houston Yukon is not a team that I fully fade against but
I also don’t make it a habit of playing expensive guys against them and I won’t stack against them either so if I am GNA take somebody against Yukon it’s typically going to be someone on the cheap side we saw the way that they shut down St John’s Joel Sorano included uh I
Don’t want to be playing 8K for Jamal t for in this spot on the road against Yukon no thank you if we want to use anybody we’re going to have to look to DJ Davis who has been shooting lights out again he’s very streaky um five of
11 from downtown against Nova three of five from downtown against kraton Back toback Games over 20 real points and he’s actually scored 30 plus fantasy points in four straight so DJ Davis carrying a lot of load this is why they brought him in was to shoot and shoot
Often and he’s happily obliged them you also have Pierre Brooks who’s priced up at 7K that’s a little spendy for me against Yukon as well but he’s going to be taking a fair number shots as well um nobody really else you know Jaylen Thomas is there at 54 but he’s not gonna
Have a good time against kingan Andre screen will have to play more minutes there but he’s going to be in foul trouble going up against his front Court really just leaves us with Landon more if Posh is out now on the Yukon side we have a lot to like the Yukon mini stack
Has been so profitable this year and if Alex caraban who is a game time decision once again ends up sitting out there’s no reason not to want a roster multiple Yukon guys in this matchup against Butler um you know they scored nearly 90 against them last time Butler does play
At a a higher Tempo their defense is is okay but they’re involved in these high-scoring games double overtime with Villanova nearly a 200 total against kraton 90 they scored against Georgetown um gave up 85 to Xavier 80 to Satan Hall 90 last time or 88 to Yukon 85 to
Providence which was an overtime game 86 to St John’s like there are so many points being scored in these Butler games there’s no reason to think that won’t be the case here like I’m fairly confident with or without caraban Yukon scoring 90 um so we got to get Cam
Spencer shares we got to get Stephen Castle Tristan Newton maybe some diara if caravan’s out clinging who if he has he’s got to stay out of foul trouble but kingan is a nice price um there’s just you know a lot to like and the you the nice thing is even in these blowouts
Yukon doesn’t have the deepest bench um they don’t have the luxury to sit their starters for long periods of time uh you even look at the the the blowout win over Xavier where they won by like 40 uh you know Spencer still played 26 minutes they ended up playing Jaden Ross and
Jaylen Stewart more but most of the starters still got minutes in and put up some some you know relatively strong stats and I don’t think that they’ll be beating Butler by 40 points so we have to imagine we’re going to get 32 plus minutes out of most of the starters
Maybe not Donovan cling it um Tristan Newton at 91 is the luxury play if you there’s only one pay up you can use I do think Newton is probably that guy going up against a Posh Alexander lless Butler program that won’t be able to stop him on the perimeter that’s just a
Phenomenal spot there is a nice leverage look for cam Spencer who’s very expensive at 83 but no one ever rosters him and he’s playing every available minute his rates are phenomenal and he’s rebounding really well right now too putting up a ton of fantasy points so he’s somebody at 83 I love rostering
Because nobody else does Stephen Castle is a reasonable price at 7K out of all the guys who adjusted and had their prices come up for some reason they didn’t adjust castle castle probably should be closer to 7576 right now so we’re getting a nice discount there on
Him uh and then Donovan Kling in there at 64 Butler’s front Court you know they they they’ve got Andre screen and jayan Thomas but it’s really a weak point for their defense kingan hasn’t played very many minutes lately because he is in foul trouble and they they tend to protect him a little
Bit um but there’s nobody on this Butler team that can stop Donovan kinging as long as he doesn’t get into foul trouble he should write the ship here and put up a 30 plus Fantasy Point game even if he plays 20 minutes that’s how good kingan is the 64 price is way
Too cheap not to have exposure to uh Assan diara played 30 minutes with no caraban only 47 obvious value spot there we can get him in Samson Johnson at 45 if turns into a blowout we’re at 20 minutes cling and get into foul trouble we’re looking at 20 minutes just okay
Rather roster diara and then if you want to get real cute Jaden Ross uh solo ball Jaylen Stewart all cheap options near Min price Jaylen Stewart played 16 minutes against Xavier in that blowout had about nine fantasy points you got some throwaway lineups you want to run some Min price Jaden
Ross go for it but do not use any of those guys in your main lineup you I think you go as low as diara there and you roster one of Newton Castle or Spencer castle at 7K probably the highest rostered of the three but I love
Spencer like I said for that leverage uh that he provides all right so that is the end of the Slate let’s get into poor looks here a lot to like a lot a lot good a lot so depending on injuries and all that stuff and my core will be subject
To change because my I’ve only got minutes edited for like half the game so I don’t even have my my full projections available just yet so a lot could change based off of that but as it stands right now I feel like we have a pretty good
Read on the Slate and and really some cheaply priced guys that I think are going to go overlooked by the masses one of those is going to be Ezra Manion from Vanderbilts um he owes me he owes me for costing me a seat and letting Evan Taylor outscore him by three but he’s
Only 61 going up against this Kentucky team that just can’t play a lick a defense fast-paced um I feel like manion’s just such a mortal lock for 5x in this spot at 61 so we’re going to go with him as our our first core lock then
We’re going to go over to the Iowa State side and and take a set we’re like we’re just going to let pricing underprice guys dictate where we go to Min lipy at 71 going up against Texas I’m very confident in the the lipy play the way that Gilbert’s been playing
Lipy can do it all in the other categories doesn’t necessarily need to be a scorer but I do think we see his scoring uptick here out of necessity and I think this turns into a very competitive battle in which he has to get them buckets to keep up with Texas’s
Somewhat potent offense so he is core playay number two at 71 we haven’t had to break the bank for either of those 61 and 71 and then feel like we got to go to the like the St John’s side and I’m gonna and gonna call my shot here because earlier
In the Slate I I kind of drew a line in the sand and said I feel like the breakout games coming so how could I not go here but at 5K for St John’s with Jordan Dingle minutes increasing shots increasing he doesn’t give us anything in those peripheral categories which is
A shame but if he’s taking 15 shots at 5K makes five of them I feel pretty good he hasn’t been making his threes lately but that’s a category that he can improve in he does do a good job of drawing fouls as well initiating contact
Maybe we see him get back to the pen version of himself where he was such a stud in the ivy league but Jordan Dingle at 5K does make up core play number three I’m very very high on Jordan Dingle so can that play could definitely kill us but that’s where I’m at now
Looking at the rest of slate other guys I’m going to be super high on um you know obviously Murray Boos that’s one of my dudes Primo Spears for Florida State uh love Manny Shard for Houston at that price the Ohio State guards Thorton and Gil I think we see them bounce back
Um uh Carolina obviously one of those Premier pay-ups between Ingram RJ Davis and Bott I think one of probably makes too much sense uh Wake Forest cam hildr is a sneak and then you know the Yukon mini stack whether that’s diara Castle Spencer Castle Newton diara
Some form or fashion but a minimum of two y Yukon I think makes the most sense and it’s something that we’re going to want to figure out how to do and then lastly Jayvon molum who has very very serious Posh play at the vi day Vibes so
That is the player pull I think good handle on the Slate and that’ll get us where we need to be pulling up prize picks real quick we don’t have fantasy until the morning so just keep that in mind a lot of that stuff switches over and we do
Pick out some fantasy we had Kevin mcculler despite what people are accusing him of doing today did make his fantasy total for us so that one hit uh but we’ll have more of those in the morning all right Tam Min lips see over 11 and a half points against Texas I’m
I’m rolling with lipy and everything DFS and props so over 11 and a half points for tamin lipy that one feels very very strong manion’s prop is at 15 and a half points more than Tyron so it tells you Manion might not even be that low owned
As I think he might be more popular than I think so keep that in mind um we hit the cam Christie under 10 and a half points propped the other day didn’t hit he got I think he got like level 15 or something but uh going up
Against Michigan State I am going to be going under 10 and a half points for cam Christie once again so keep that in mind I I just don’t don’t believe in him for this matchup or this Minnesota team whatsoever um there’s a lot for Ohio State Felix oaro over seven points
Against Indiana know I prefer the guards against Indiana but Felix is getting all those front Court minutes right now it seems like and and no Zed key to speak of uh and Matthew Morell over 13 and a half points against South Carolina he was the one I mentioned early on didn’t
Just give him in my player pool at the end there but he’s under 7K I do like his ability to score here I think over 13 and a half points for Matthew Morell is a strong strong bet don’t have any North Carolina props yet but I feel like we will I’m going to
Be looking at Ingram’s rebounds and assist props and bott’s rebound and props when they do come out so those will be something that we’re considering and I have um a lean towards the over there especially if we get like nine and a half rebounds and assists for for
Ingram like we did last s all right that is it that’ll do it thank you everybody for tuning in hanging out with me tonight was a late one I appreciate it we’ll be back tomorrow night same time same place same network breaking down the Wednesday slate and another Mania
