All systems go clearly for Lift Off what’s going on everybody happy Tuesday talking some hoops my man Rio coming back from the live final 14th Place 60,000 Rio come on man you can’t complain about that one bit awesome showing there could have been a little better if Bruce Brown hit that at the
End was a fun sweat awesome stuff excited to have you back four games on tap a light Tuesday really easy though for the terms of you want to spend time with the family or do something in life two games at 7:30 30 minutes later lock
Time one game at 8 so three games three fours this late done within 30 minutes then you wait till 10 Easter in one late game That’s All She Wrote injury news not bad at all Miami stuff is really all we’re waiting on first game of the night
So we should get all the injury news as well broad slate overview to make it really quick before I throw it to you two main guys out on the Slate LeBron Brandon Ingram Pelicans Lakers that’s kind of how I see it right now we’ll find some gems in between bringing you
In how you doing my man on this Tuesday afternoon yeah I’m doing good was a definitely a fun weekend being out there in Arizona got to hang out with you on Saturday sweat along the games um yeah pretty happy with my showing definitely could have used that overtime but uh
Pretty not too bad for just having a single bullet um nice to get back there back toback years so next year we’ll definitely look to have a little bit more shiet representation hopefully I’ll get more than one and we get some other guys out there too um but yeah I mean
This is a nice easy slate today uh definitely getting us prepared for the big one tomorrow probably going to go pretty long on the show tomorrow and have a lot to talk about with with it being a 10 game slate and got the uh the Millie maker tomorrow so definitely get
In those those cues if you want to participate in that one um but yeah I mean this is a interesting slate because you have so many good stud spend UPS tonight that you want to play like Luca all the way down to Anthony Davis all look really good the Giannis and
Sabonis but on a four game slate kind of hard to get to multiple of those guys without having some good cheap value so yeah we’ll have to see what happens in this Miami Golden State game maybe we can get some value opening up there but
Might just be a one stud spend up type of night and then and then play in the midst here mostly yeah great initial breakdown for sure that’s exactly how I see it I think people ad is the most popular spend because obviously no LeBron 103 you get
The discount off the giannis’s Lucas the value isn’t great right now and it doesn’t look like it’ll get too much better U maybe some of the Miami stuff I still don’t think it’d make it like a two star Night by any means then you have like the D Russ the
Reeves um yeah I guess mainly those two in the mid tier without Ingram without bi or without bi on the other side Zion’s interesting sorry about that on the other side but without LeBron D Russ Reeves I mean AD Reeves um and D Russ G be the three most popular plays on the
Probably is how I see it you see it that way right now yeah for sure yeah so yeah we’ll get there we’ll touch on the Miami game to start gotta say hi to people in chat though Jasmine’s in here what’s going on was fun hanging out with you I
Gotta get you that hat Rio has on his head right now Jordan’s in here Lyall Marquee William Josie girl Jake Danny Eddie all you Grinders out here 56 watching live in March end of March NBA DFS Tuesday love it the real grinder just like us Rio try help him make some
Money tonight like button always appreciated if you want to head over to the nation and subscribe golf MMA NBA of course MLB starting in a couple days NASCAR use that promo code hoop 15 gets you 15% off any package weekly monthly six month or annual let’s get first game
Of the night real let’s just get right to that Miami game again two games at 7:30 one at 8 one at 10 all the news in this Miami game Warriors heat 217 total Warriors two in that point favorites on the Miami side hwz Caleb Martin Kevin Love all questionable and then Duncan
Robinson’s out obviously hero still out Etc another important injury news I guess Trace Jackson Davis on this late it means a little bit I’ll throw it to you I think Jimmy Butler is a very strong play in the mid- tier that people will also be going to at AK this game’s
Gonna be relatively low on though if Trace Jackson Davis plays I think he’s interesting centers I mean Larry and joov Val today but it’s not really a very strong position is how I see it outside of those two which are two strong plays I think Trace Jackson Davis
Would be interesting though if he is in throw to you in this one how many pieces are too many what do you see um yeah I mean so the I think that you definitely have interest in both bam and and Jimmy tonight I do prefer Jimmy just for positional stuff because
There’s some pretty strong Center options tonight uh some spend Downs at the center position that I don’t want to really get stuck with bam at .3k but he has been playing much better matchup is not the best but it’s not the worst um but yeah it’s really just those two has
Spend UPS on the the heat side of things because I want to wait and see who is even in play in terms of the secondary guys uh with all these Q tags really just hwz Martin and love are the big ones because if multiple of those guys
Are out then I think that he Haywood heith and Patty Mills do come into play as value options tonight and Devin could U open some things up with them being in the 3ks but just don’t have a strong lean on these injury news because K has
Been out for you know a couple weeks now so this is a an upgrade to his injury designation so um not too sure about his his uh status tonight then Haw has missed the last game after getting ruled out early the game before that so I mean
There’s a good chance both them Miss if they do miss then like I said heith and Patty Mills are the guys that I’m looking to go to um just because of matchup wise is better for those two guys the Warriors been pretty bad defensively in in this month uh bottom
10 defensive rated team giving up the third most three-pointers per game um so definitely be looking at the guys that can shoot and Patty Mills Eric spoler has said that he they want him taking a lot of three-pointers so I think that he’d be pretty interesting at
3.5k um and then on the warrior side of things uh the trace Jackson Davids is I guess does a little bit not too much in terms of value on the The Warriors side of things I think that you’d probably get a mixture of Dario sarich and Kevin
Love or cavon Looney back into the rotation but I don’t think that it’d really be enough um for those guys to be in play I would probably prefer sarus just because we know that he’s been pretty solid Fantasy Point perom minute producer at points this season um but
Yeah I mean this is kind of a sneaky good spot for these guys as well mainly the shooters uh because talk about it the way that the Heat play defense they’re uh they run Zone at the highest frequency in the League this season so that definitely you know Shores up the
Interior defense they’ve been one of the best rim defens all season long with bam down low but giving up more catch and shoot stuff so the guys that shoot like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are the two guys that I have the most interest in and I mean Seth looks pretty solid at
88.6k the price tag super low for him um Steve Curry did say they wanted to kind of monitor his minutes but at this point I don’t really think that you can you kind of the Warriors are out of place right now in the standings where they need to pretty much win every single
Game and they have a pretty tough schedule coming up too so they can’t afford to drop any games they got a this a back toback for them they got Orlando tomorrow so I mean you’re going against two really tough defenses I think you just kind of have to you got to get at
Least one of these games um yes so I don’t really think that they can afford to to cut back Curry’s minutes just with the the Rockets kind of creeping up on them in the standing so yeah I think Curry has pretty good upside here as a three-point shooter and then yeah I
Already mentioned that Klay Klay is second in the league and catch and shoot stuff this season so I really like him and then Draymond would get more of a minutes boost if Trace Jackson Davis misses but he’s already kind of around 32 to 34 minutes in the last like week
Or so so I think he’s pretty solid even though the matchup is not great going against bam he’s got the rebound and assist uh floor to kind of help him get get there from a fantasy perspective good breakdown for sure I mean are you putting a cap at like how
Many heat or how many warriors like this game definitely it doesn’t like stand out to me I know I at least want two Lakers I know I at least probably want two Pelicans I guess everything after that is kind of up in the air but way better better total in game environment for
Dallas Sacramento like are you going to Max anything or would you be fine if you got three Warriors or something like that um haven’t really thought through like the groupings or anything like that but I doubt that it’d be really hard to get more than two guys from either side
Just with the way that the projections go so I don’t think that I’m really going to make a hard rule I’ll just kind of give Curry and Clay Bo just the guys that I like boost in this game but I don’t think that I’m going to really
Make a a very strong rule on this one just because the the uh the Slate is so small that like if I somehow land on a team in mme where I have like a mini game stack or like four to six pieces in this game and it just so happens to stay
Close I would be okay with it um yeah I’m not not making like a super hard rule on this one yeah makes some sense I think this I was gonna say jovic if both HZ and Martin said I think would probably be solid and then what are your
Thoughts like if one of if hakz sits Martin and if if hakz is sits Martin’s in I think Martin’s interesting vice versa for hakz both in that same price range I think I’d rather Caleb Martin if I had to choose like hakz be out kale
Martin be in I don’t know but you’d be good with that if either guy if the other one was out yeah um definitely would uh I’d like K Martin for sure if HZ misses I I think that he’s a pretty strong value I I think that uh Caleb
Martin’s GNA play um because he did play against Cleveland he’s kind of been dealing with the same injury for a little bit but he hasn’t really missed much time so I think that he’s probably the most likely to play but yeah I would like Martin if hwz misses yeah then
You’re Haywood if both of them miss or something like that we’ll get that Miami News again projections obviously will be updated and definitely starting lineups we should I mean the starter should be Terry Patty Jimmy jovic we should know that but if somehow love hakz Caleb all
Miss three the better bench guys I guess last thing on that Thomas Bryant would you be any interested in backup five or Bam’s gonna play enough that you don’t think you got to go there 3.6k no I don’t think I would go there um there was one value piece that I did
Forget to mention and Delon Wright he played 30 minutes against Cleveland last game uh 22 against New Orleans the game before that been kind of getting talked up by Eric spoler a lot lately too I think that they really value the defense that he brings and I mean this could
Kind of be a spot where it makes sense to get him some more minutes uh for the unball defense on Steph Curry so I don’t think that he’s like the craziest option but like the high-end for him with this current iteration of the team is like 15
To 17 points I would say um I mean that might be enough on the Slate but yeah I think that thean right is kind of in play as a value yeah I don’t think that’s crazy like if patty just like what pods if he’s just too big for Patty
Patty’s not gonna be chasing around Steph and they want to go Delon for more size I don’t think that’s crazy um so yeah I he’ll be really low and I probably want at least one of those guys to be out though to feel more secure for sure yeah well that’s definitely plenty
Of time on the Warriors heat if this was a 10 game slate we would have talked probably 5 seconds on that game at least myself so four games though this next one 7:30 pm Eastern before we go there actually what’s going on Maul what’s
Going on Phil ROM and R in here as well Marley you need some UFC 300 tickets yes sir what’s going on big Marley him and I gonna be talking some UFC tomorrow 1:30 PM Eastern smash that like Nate D says we appreciate that parabis in here ruy
Season hey we’ll get to this game right here see if Rio thinks it’s ruy season Los Angeles Lakers Milwaukee Bucks 233 total bucks nine and a half Point favorites injury news on the Lakers side no LeBron obviously huge news and that’s why ad D Russ re will be three of the
Most popular plays on the Slate as far as the bucks no Pat Bev today he is out Bo champ questionable which means absolutely nothing I’ll throw it to you again as far as the buck side they’re not really get ownership I don’t think I think it’s all going the Reeds D Russ
Ad actually I’ll take that back paton’s getting some I think is a punt I’m curious to see what you say about that no Pat B 3.3k I think some might go down there guard for eligibility if they just wanna jamama Giannis jamama Luca jamama something value’s not great on this
Slate like if you give me 15 for Paton they can make enough work there’s enough spend UPS cam reddish is down there in that same boat I guess at 3-2 I’ll throw it to you on this note actually would you consider if you want the Lucas if you want Giannis contrarian
Spends to an extent like Giannis will probably be half of what ad is you might need a drop from like a four four guy a toan prince to a cam raddish or something like that alado is a strong play but like maybe an Alvarado down to
One of these guys is that something you could stomach to get ownership discount and do you see value in this game like a be or P patcon Beasley Tori Prince cam reddish Etc then take it away from there yeah I’ll start with the uh the value point that you mentioned because I do
Think that it is pretty viable tonight to drop down to like a patcon or Cam reddish um I mean you know kind of what to expect from these guys I think that patcon is definitely uh more more safe from a fantasy fantasy perspective probably has a much better ceiling as
Well we’ve seen him be a decent shooter at times and the matchup is really good for Shooters um but yeah I I think that like 14 to 15 out of some of these guys down low could definitely uh if that gets you what you need two spin-ups I
Would be totally okay with that because I do think that the spin-ups are really really good tonight so I would be okay um okay with Paton definitely prefer him to reddish but yeah I mean this is probably this game and then the last game of the night the best game
Environments on the Slate I mean the Bucks they had kind of turned it around a little bit defensively but this past month they’ve been really bad both these teams bottom five and bottom six in defensive rating the Lakers given up a lot of points at The Rim they’ve always
Been a really bad three-point defense really bad in transition as well um but their bottom nine Rim defense this month bottom seven three-point defense uh bottom five catch and shoot defense on the season and then um bottom five in transition and then the Bucks bottom six in uh defensive rating but they’re uh
Top two Rim defense but the second worst team in um sorry first in Rim defense second worst team against three-point Shooters and then they’ve Al obviously been one of the worst pick and roll teams all season long bottom two in the league in pick and roll uh so I mean I
Think that obviously you’re gonna have interest in these Lakers guys um Anthony Davis obviously going to be a huge focal point tonight for the offense with LeBron out in a really large sample size this season 600 plus minutes without LeBron on the court ad has a nearly 31%
Usage rate 16% assist percentage 20 and a half rebounding rate uh averaging right around 56 DK points per 36 minutes and he’s also averaging 56.4 points per game DK points per game with uh in nine games that LeBron this season so I really like him as a spend up option not
Not a hot take at all there I think he’s probably the best point per dollar spend up on the Slate um as far as the DLo and Reeves Go I mean I just don’t see how the ownership is should even be close I mean d’angel Russell is clearly the
Better play in my opinion uh we even saw last game that LeBron James missed was against the Bucks and he went for 70 against them not saying that he’s going to do that again but Austin Reed doesn’t have that same upside as as Danel Russell um he’s averaging almost 50
Points a game without LeBron this season 44.83 DK points per 36 sees the a pretty big usage bump as well 3.4% up to 26.6% on uh on the season has a massive assist percentage as well almost 40% so I just think that he’s clearly the better play between him and Reeves not
Making a rule to be Max one of those two but I don’t think that I want three of anony Davis DLo and Reeves um I definitely want exposure to all three of them but DLo and Reeves are or DLo and Anthony Davis clearly the better options tonight um and then ruy I think
Is pretty solid as a spend down option 5.6k pretty good match up for three-point Shooters as well uh he’s been shooting the ball pretty well lately um I just don’t really know he’s only really shown upside once this season without LeBron and that was a game against Utah which anybody could
Score against it’s a little bit different against the Bucks um but yeah I mean he’s he’s pretty fine at 4.6k we did see Spencer didn’t want to get the start for LeBron in the same game against the Bucks I’m not sure if they can go there this time because Middleton
Wasn’t playing in that one so they’re definitely a lot bigger as a lineup with Middleton in there so it would make more sense to me to go to Prince but I think that Spencer D definitely gonna be out there for probably around 30 minutes tonight and um yeah I mean he’s actually
Been playing pretty good defense as of late so kind of makes sense for some on ball defense on Damen Lillard and uh and Chris Middleton a little bit so I think that he’s pretty solid as a spend down 4.6 um Prince has been pretty good in games without LeBron this season
Averaging almost 23 points a game but he’s just got really big downside uh a little bit upside as a shooter but just I don’t know T Prince is not the best offensive weapon and then yeah you mentioned cam reddish I think that he’s okay to keeping your player pool at 3.2k
Should see around 20 minutes um on the buck side of things though Giannis really good spend up tonight kind of seen the uh hasn’t seen much of a usage hit with Middleton in the lineup but the assist numbers are coming down a little bit with Middleton getting healthier
Still showed 60 point upside in games alongside Chris Middleton um still leads the team in in usage in the three games that Middleton has played uh and then put up 76 in the same matchup earlier this season Lakers definitely struggling with their interior defense right now so
I think that Giannis really good spin up option I love the match up for Dame tonight just this game environment really suits his uh style of play a lot really good pick and roll scorer uh Lakers a bottom eight against pick and roll guys bottom seven three-point
Defense this month bottom two in DVP versus point guards over the last seven games um Dame really hasn’t seen much of a usage rates hit at all with with Middleton on the court either so he’s kind of unaffected still think that he’s he’s got a really big upside um and then
Chris Milton’s been really good in his return to the lineup 25 33 27 minutes in three games since returning and and it has DK scores of 38.25 41 and a half and 43 uh leading the team in assist percentage over the last three games got a triple double
Last game think that the minutes could slowly start to creep up in the 30s here and yeah I really like the match up for him against a team that just bleeds three-pointers to uh opposing teams um and then now really looking to get to like these secondary guys think that
Poris kind of you know always has big upside Off the Bench but don’t think that this is the match up for him against Anthony Davis could see him really getting bullied um if he has to guard Anthony Davis I think they’d probably lean into Brook Lopez a little
Bit more in this one U Malik Beasley solid match up for three-point Shooters as well 4.7k pretty good price deck for him with a little bit of upside um yeah that’s pretty much it mentioned patcon already with a little bit of Revenge as Josie’s talking for M Beasley I agree I
Hate Bo I shouldn’t say hate I don’t like Bobby Brook though I was thinking the same thing as you man is he been bad clicking the game logs really tough It’s a pivot from joov Val chalk right now we get to Joe Val chalk like I do not like
That one bit I like the Larry n side a lot more but 500 more I think they’ll need a couple more minutes his size against ad if he makes a couple threes I don’t know I think it’s fine I love Giannis man 113 the power forward
Eligibility you can find the 1K off of AD half the ownership I mean I think he absolutely dominates in this matchup and really good point by by John I haven’t really seen John in chat much what’s going on man looking sharp in that picture shooting guard’s awful like that is why
That even patcon at shooting guard is a full punt like Reeves is definitely getting a lot of ownership because LeBron’s out but 7K still not like Reed is a slam dunk if he was small Ford eligibility or something like that like I don’t think Reed is a great play at
Shooting guard though shooting guard so bad so I do like full punting to a radish to a patcon I still like Reeves I mean I prefer DLo for sure but that positional scarcity that’s very good point you made I like the ad yeah I like
Going if you can get like a Giannis Reed D Russ and not go ad I think that’d be my best way my favorite way to attack it but I like K mid too his rebounding rate his assists I mean man he’s playing really good ball right now at 67 fits
That mid- tier build as well I like that price tag and I do like ruy I I’m always a sucker for ruie um but man when LeBron’s out or ad’s out it feels like when he gets the minutes he’s just so much more aggressive they’re going to
Need a scoring in this game I always like him and he’s going to be a contrarian option at 56 so I do like the Ruby chalk as well yeah joov Val chalk I mean we’ll get to that game let’s get there right now actually appreciate that
Like f everyone out there if you haven’t hit it do us a favor hit it right now 137 watching live in March 26 four game NBA slate BFS is still alive you do love to see it third game of the Slate 800m Eastern OKC Thunder new orans Pelicans
223 and a half total OKC onepoint favorites no injury news on the OKC side Pelicans Brandon Ingram’s out will be out for a couple weeks and that is the only injury news in this one all right I’ll throw it to you in this obviously Zion looks to be getting a little bit of
Ownership looks like a strong play at 9k I still don’t know how much like I really like Giannis in this spot I like the ads in this spot 9k is close enough I’m curious to hear what you say but my lean right now is to get one of those
Two if I had to choose I don’t love CJ as much as 73 but talk to me why Jo Larry Nance and joov are getting some ownership Center Is Not Great by any means kind of fits that mid- tier build I think it’s mainly just projections don’t really know how to project without
Ingram you give him you give joov Val some usage but his minutes are cman if he’s not efficient in those 20 minutes 18 minutes I don’t know it’s not chalk I want to eat so I’ll throw it to on that note start with them Jose Alvarado looks
Chalky I’m fine that I’m fine with that on this slate 41 I like Larry Nance at 42 but start with Joe for me yeah I mean I uh okay I’m not a mute um yeah I just don’t I don’t see how you can comfortably click his name right now I
Mean just the positional scarcity too Center is always a spot where you need for sure thing uh for sure things from like a value standpoint and I mean he’s just yeah I don’t know he’s just he’s there’s multiple times this season where he’s playing so bad in the first half
That they bench him in the second half for Larry Nance I mean I could definitely see that happening here in a fast-paced match up against OKC who definitely likes to run out transition um yeah I just I I can’t do it on Joe Val he couldn’t get there in a matchup
Where he didn’t have his backup center against the Portland Trailblazers who are one of the worst teams versus centers so I just I don’t think that it’s happening in a game against OKC the only thing that I’ll say that he does have going for him here is that OKC been
A team that struggled um on the rebounding side of things giving up a ton of points I believe the most points in the league off offensive rebounds so if there was ever an upside case to be made it’s probably that one but yeah I agree with you I’d rather just save 700
And get down to Larry Nance definitely gonna be a Max one of those two guys um but I’ll definitely be under on joval tonight I just don’t don’t see it happening for him um yeah I mean the only thing that’s kind of keeping these guys in play for me because I don’t love
This game as a whole I like the Pelican side a little bit more than the OKC side but I mean it’s a onepoint spread I guess the game is pretty big in terms of the standings pelicans and OKC two of the top teams in the west um I mean it’s
Like maybe you’re just hoping the game gets to overtime you get you know an extra five to 10 minutes out of some of these guys but I’m not really looking to spend 10- two on on Shay Gil just when there’s so many better options beneath
Him at point guard and above him at the different positions I mean he hasn’t he’s scored pretty well against Herb in his career but we don’t really care about you know actual points who care about fantasy points he has not scored more than um sorry I have this written down
Somewhere um yeah he’s been held below 55 DraftKings points in every single meeting against herb Jones in their career and except for one game where he went for 73 and a half um and that was a game he played 43 minutes so more than likely an overtime game um he hasn’t
Topped more than 49 points in two games versus New Orleans this season so yeah I think that SJ is kind of just a definitely the worst of the spend up options tonight probably just a x out for me I think that Chad would be my preferred option though at 7.5k he’s
Been pretty good against the Pelicans this season 44.8 and 42.8 DraftKings points in the two meetings been playing pretty well lately outside of the uh the bad game last time out against Milwaukee we only put up 10 DraftKings points but I mean before that 40 against Toronto 65
Against Utah 48 against Memphis uh those match ups are a little bit better than this one is but I still think that he’s pretty solid at 7.8k um I don’t really like the this type of game for Jaylen Williams like him more in fast-paced games where he
Can beat up against weak Rim defenses doesn’t really have that here against New Orleans so I think that won’t really have too much of him and I’m really just considering the big three I think that L Dort is kind of he fits some builds just with the small forward eligibility 4.2k
Pelicans a little bit worse against catch and shoot guys um so I guess there’s a little bit of upside there for him from a scoring standpoint but you’re never really too excited about playing Lou Dort uh and then yeah I like I like Zion tonight 9k not sure how I how he
Fares against all the other spend UPS around him though but really solid role for Zion talk about it all the time but over the last two games which is you know since Brandon Ingram has missed he’s second on the team in usage second in touch time uh he has the fifth most
Drive drives per game this month and OKC’s interior defense kind of struggling a little bit this month as well defin going to have a much larger role moving forward as long as brenon egram is out and he showed really big upside uh just I mean the past couple
Games had a couple 50s in there I don’t know if he really has like the 60s in there which we kind of need at at a 9k but uh small slate raw points matter the most and he seemed pretty safe to get you 45 to 50 uh good match up for CJ as
Well been shooting the ball really well lately uh has made three or more threes in five straight games there a couple games where he’s got six and seven in there OKC bottom five three-point defense bottom five catch and shoot defense uh he’s looking to take on a
Much bigger role as well leading the team in usage and touch time since brand Ingram has gone down so he looks pretty solid 7.3k not sure that I can get there over d’el Russell though um and then Trey Murphy only eligibility is tough like that would be so nice that but his
Ownership would go up too but yeah it’s a pivot right there from the Reeves the D R Us but mainly D R Us because the position yeah um Trey Murphy I really like though 6.4k even at a little bit of ownership but he’s just got huge upside
Uh if the shot is falling I even last point or last game against Detroit he shot one for 12 from the field and still put up 30 and a half DK points a lot of that was due to you know he had like what five or six stalks I think
Something like that um but I mean he’s had games recently where he’s just he lights it up from deep and he has like the 45 to 50 point upside very similar to like a Malik monk type of player even though he’s starting now um so I like him a lot at 6.4k
And then uh Naji Marshall and Jose alvado two guys that I’m considering as value options tonight um yeah I mean naji’s he’s kind of picked it up in a big way last couple games played 23 and 24 minutes 25 and 30 DraftKings points I mean he’s pretty consistent I would say
So I think that he might be one of the better values on the Slate even though projections probably aren’t agreeing with me um yeah I think I like him a good bit and I I would much rather spend down at the small forward power forward spot than than a point guard spot
Personally so I probably have more Nai than I do Jose alvado hey that’s definitely will be a little contrarian I like that for sure small for power forward eligibility pretty much the same price I really like to trade Murphy shout I really like chat kind of in that mid- tier stuff if you
Don’t I mean it’s kind of harder to get in the Giannis builds but I guess you could go Yannis in one of them or something but I think you can even go if you fade the whole 10K and above which means ad and up there’s enough guys I
Mean even in this game if you wanted to go a Zion a chat then you can go Jimmy the Lakers guys the D Russ Reeves like the mid the value isn’t great when we’re talking patcon even Naji Marshall some of these guys like that show is L Dort
I’m like yeah L D’s gonna get some ownership I really my favorite plays in this game I like Larry Nance a lot hate Joe love Trey Murphy I like your chat call and yeah you definitely I like Zion more than CJ even for the price if I
Played him I just feel like the upside a little uh higher but I you do like CJ and he is a pivot off of them um oh okay Luca now Q downgraded to questionable is that’s what chat saying I haven’t got it yet though my Underdog
Just posted it when I was by you you yours uh yours popped up and then mine was delayed a couple seconds what’s going on yeah that definitely that definitely changed stuff yeah you can play CJ and Murphy together I don’t see any reason you can’t if you had to pick
Which game do you like more this game or Warriors Miami because the Lakers Milwaukee game in Dallas Sacramento feels way better and especially if there’s no Luca like it’s going to be three teams pretty much what game would you would you choose though this game with Miami I’d probably say this one um
Just because with this being a back-to-back for the Warriors even though they are favored I think that if the game does get at all out of hands this could be a game that they just punt off and then play for tomorrow uh because they they definitely want to
Split one of these two games coming up and and this game definitely means a lot more for the in terms of the Western Conference standings for both these teams OKC and New Orleans being pretty close in the standings right now so um see yeah probably this one a little bit
More all right yeah let’s get into this last game I mean man so Luca I still didn’t even get it popping up I’m getting this yic I’m get this Michael Porter getting Cordo Patterson all right there it is two minutes ago Achilles I mean yeah Dallas Sacramento
Two oh they took all the props down that makes a lot of sense um what was the total in this like 235 or something I want to say very close spread Kings were onepoint favorites man this has to mean what you think Luca probably doesn’t play now I
Mean you just don’t randomly get downgraded what’s your initial thoughts but it makes it I don’t think you can click Luca’s name anymore as the last game on an island you really don’t have pivots like you need to find a sabonis maybe if like a sabonis fox monk Luca 2v2 that may be
Eyeballing it you need some 2v2 it it have to be that I don’t like it I think there’s enough of Giannis ad all these other guys I wouldn’t go to lucao now I think Kyrie is the more interesting situation he should probably be a part of your 2v2 actually talking out loud if
You are doing a Luca thing but plugging in a spot for Kyrie 93 I don’t love it I don’t love having Kyrie in my lineup if Luca plays at 93 no doubt about that you can could pivot to Fox though $500 less so I do think it’s a strong play but if
There’s no Luca Kyrie does look good and this game yeah like sabonis has to spend he’s gonna be low owned at Center there Fox Malik monk shooting guard right there talking shooting guard I think monk is a very interesting pivot in this game yeah throw it to you on this note
But man I guess start with Luca downgraded a question with an Achilles what what do you think yeah I mean never good obviously to get the midday downgrade but this game just it means way too much for the S I have a very tough time seeing him sit here um
Because yeah this is a really big game I believe these teams are tied in the standings um but they the I know the kings are two and0 in the season series versus uh versus Denver this season yeah there these teams are tied at six and seven so I you definitely want to get
Out of the the seventh spot if you’re the Mavericks they do play another time later this week I believe um so I think that he’s kind of I think he has to play um this game just means too much why did team do that like there’s no they know
What they’re doing with Luke like right like he didn’t just hurt his Achilles during the day like come on yeah I don’t know he he played a lot of minutes last night obviously been playing a ton lately so I think that it’s probably a True Q tag probably is pretty sore but I
I don’t know I think that he probably guts it out definitely going to need to get creative in terms of the uh roster construction but I I mean I think that this is like the game that you’d want to Stack up if you were to stack one of
These four games so like having three to four guys um probably three guys I’d say like a a Luca Gafford Keegan or something like that and then that’ give you a lot of flexibility to go down to sabonis probably get to like Malik Monk and Kyrie or something like that um yeah
Just thinking through because I haven’t done obviously like the math on on the pricing for it but this I mean this is easily probably the best game environment on the Slate two teams that play Fast two teams that have certain areas that they struggle with defensively Kings a little bit more
Versus three-point Shooters Dallas kind of all over the place at times but yeah I just have a tough time seeing Lucas sit um but yeah you got to have a gota have a 2v2 to 3v3 in mind if you’re building for that um yeah I don’t know that kind of
It throws a wrench into things because I don’t was not expecting to get the midday Q tag but obviously if he sits touch on yeah touch on if you think he’s in I mean I guess you can do if if he sits too but I mean at this point you
Have to really say like all right what are you GNA do with your rosters like if he sits if you don’t build like you might have no spots left to like switch you might only have two spots like right now for me I think there’s enough other
Spots on this slate like even if it’s Kyrie without Luca he’s 99.3k like Zion’s 9k Jimmy’s 8K Reeves Russ there’s Giannis there’s Luca like there’s enough other things like at this point especially you think you lean he’s gonna play but you think true game
Time I maybe just make the 2v tws if it comes out nicely which one of these probably does but I just don’t think it’s worth messing even Kyrie or Luca because I really don’t want to play Kyrie if Luca’s in I guess I would just
Go Fox and leave 500 and be fine with it but yeah I guess you can go any which way on on how you want to break this down sorry I don’t know I don’t know what you should do because it’s two two hours after lock like yeah I’m probably not gonna have five
Spots left I like the Pelican stuff I like the Lakers stuff I’m not going to throw it away and just hope but yeah yeah no I mean I probably agree with you if you uh you just start your lineups if you don’t really want to get super deep
Into it starting with Kyrie and then I mean I already like Fox a good bit tonight so like I’d be fine leaving 500 left over and just getting you know the one V one pivot right there um so that’d probably be the way to do it you definitely would want Kyrie in either
The point guard guard or util spot can’t have him in shooting guard uh definitely got to keep that in mind because You’ be you’d be I mean I guess you you’d still be okay if you landed on Kyrie and Luca’s in but would definitely much
Prefer the fox side of things if if Luca is in y um but yeah I guess we just go through the scenarios if he’s out because it’s pretty straightforward we know what to to expect you’re gonna see a lot of Tim Hardway Jr he’d be a really
Probably the best value on the Slate at 4.4k um I think PJ would probably project pretty good I don’t I wouldn’t really go out my way to play him obviously Kyrie is crushed without luuka this season so he’d be one of the best spend UPS exom would would get in there
For some good minutes um Hardy at 3.7k not too sure how many he would realistically play but um yeah really it’d be Hardway Jr Dante and and Kyrie the ones that benefit the most um any of those like you’re you don’t want to play any of
Them if Luca’s in but I guess would you be fine with like a Harrison Barnes hardways 44 Barnes 45 both have small forward elb like forward would you be fine with that like just making sure you have a 100 there or something because Hardway would be a fun play if Luca is
Out and I I guess Barnes isn’t the worst thing so talking through it I think that make a little sense too or even if you had uh if you had Tim Hardway at shooting guard as well I don’t like the Keon Ellis pivot is also there so yeah
There there’s some pivot to make if you’re building for Luca out because Yeah Tim Hardway I mean he’d have huge upside if if LCA does get ruled out post lock and probably would be Extreme has to be y yeah I I don’t mind that pivet granted I don’t like clicking Harrison
Barnes but on this late on this L man 19 from Barnes could be enough yeah I mean even like Tim Harvey Jr kind of turned it around last game too against against Utah played 29 minutes shut uh five for 14 three of nine from Deep he’s still
Kind of out there for you know low I would say upper tees to maybe 20 minutes a night um if the shots falling so if you’re kind of left with him I don’t think that you’re dead necessarily but obviously you you definitely would want Luca to be out in that
Scenario um yeah I don’t I think that that kind of that’s kind of all I have to say about the Dallas side of things I I do expect Luca to to play tonight but yeah if he’s out those are the guys you’re looking to and then that’s thing
Gafford I don’t know if you mentioned him I think he’s a solid play at Center I it though yeah I I forgot to mention that I I I do like him a lot tonight he’s been really playing good lately 49 41.8 and 41.8 three of his last five
Games I don’t know exactly how much of his upside is tied to to Luca being there because they do have a really good pick and roll game he is 6k now I guess the OKC game was the one that he played Without Luca so you know still has some
Standalone value uh with the rebounding upside um but there is some I guess there is a little bit of foul risk for him going up against sabonis I think that they might actually put PJ Washington on sabonis and just have Gafford kind of play off ball a little
Bit yeah um so he’s probably probably pretty safe from a a foul RIS standpoint yeah he he’s pretty solid 6K just showing really big upside lately um yeah and then the king side of things I think sabonis is a great spinup not sure that I’m playing him over Anthony Davis
Though but you could play both them if you find a way to make it work work with the value uh because he is Center eligible and and Anthony Davis is power forward eligible now he’s had pretty big pretty good success against uh against alas season I me had one game where he
Went for 36 but then went for 58 in their first meeting um kind of always been you know Daniel Gafford been a person to attack with opposing centers not the greatest Defender um so yeah I think that he’s he’s pretty solid 10.5k but yeah I prefer Deen Fox for the the
Price discount just really like the upside for him he’s crushed and he scored 30 I believe 30 points in both matchups versus Dallas season um he’s put a averaging 53.6 in two games against Dallas season as well so he’s definitely my preferred spend at uh $1,700 cheaper mik monk kind of you
Already know what you’re getting out of him it’s either 40 or mid 20s don’t really have a strong take there I think I’d just prefer to get to Keegan Murray who’s been playing a ton of minutes and playing really well lately uh going to need to stay out of foul trouble if
Luca’s out but Lucas’s not out then you don’t really have to worry about that too much he should be pretty safe from a from a far standpoint and from a minute standpoint so I like him uh a little bit more than Malik monk tonight and then I wouldn’t really be looking to against
Like Keon Ellis or Harrison Barnes but it’s just the the pivots if if we’re playing uh Tim Hardway Jr leave a $100 left over and get to him if uh or get to those guys if Luca does get rolled in yeah definitely would use them as pivots
I don’t love them in a vacuum what are your thoughts on how much like what are you going to do with Luca now pre uh like assuming we’re not going to get the news 4:30 or 7:30 pm Eastern what do you see yourself doing because you think he
Plays I think this definitely scares a lot of people off it wasn’t even like Luca was coming in like most slates we’ve had recently Luca was the chalk really not the case on this slate even before this downgrade so I mean you could be looking at single digit Luca I
Mean and you think he plays I mean that’s music my ears if you do get it right what are you like what do you think you personally are going to do with your with your mm stuff I’m probably going to have to make a rule
Saying if Luca then at least one of all these other guys I’ll do a little bit of like the the math stuff and see what pivots makes sense but probably like if Luca at least one of Keegan Murray Daniel Gafford um I guess like PJ Washington I probably
Want want like one of the mider guys just because that gives you a little bit more flexibility because then I could go down to I mean it makes more sense to get a center just because you can go like sabonis and and monk or um I mean I guess like a power forward
Two I don’t know yeah something like that where it have yeah it’s really tough so much easier if you’re hand building like I I don’t even I don’t know what I would do with an optimi like because then you have to make sure your positions line up because yeah you have
Shooting guard Kyrie and then the Fox Point like it’s It’s Tricky but hand building you’re only doing a couple teams it’s not hard to do the math and I think we made stuff like we’d be fine leaving the 500 kyita Fox there has to be some math that works clows with these
Luca monks sabonis foxes Barnes Kyrie gaffords like has to be something so I would just do it again maybe we do get the Luca news earlier don’t definitely don’t plan on that all three of those games lack within 30 minutes of each other but have a plan at the end of the
Day and I think a very fine plan kind of avoiding that situation or just in one of the One V one pivots because enough Lakers stuff without LeBron enough Pelican stuff without bi and a couple other spots you mentioned some of the Miami game and stuff so and who knows
That Miami value love Caleb Martins hwz Trey Jackson Davis like some other stuff could open up a little bit earlier so yeah found a pretty good pivot sorry I didn’t mean to cut you off but um yeah I mean so Luca and Gafford I think to make
This work you’d have to have Luca in the guard spot and Gafford in the center spot that is 18700 for two guys so if you divide that by two you’re left with 9,300 so you can you can go with Kyrie and Daren Fox and make that work I like
That yeah we’re good with Dante we’re we like Dante we like hard away $100 difference point guard shooting guard for Dante shooting guard small forward so i’ lean in the Hard Away definitely but if somehow you just had the point guard or something you needed to I’d be fine with XOM too and
Yeah talked about that briefly but I think that’s totally viable there’s enough of those 9ks the D Russ the Reeves the jimmies the chats like CJs there’s enough in that mid tier dear and fox of the worlds to definitely make it work so especially if Kyrie um or if
Luca is out and it’s Kyrie awesome stuff man four games 45 minutes of ball 45 minutes talking four games tomorrow uh oh it’s not going to be a 45 minute show that for sure 10 games million dollars up top Rio slate plans up projections will be updated throughout the night of
