All systems go clear for LIF What’s going on everybody happy Tuesday hope you all having a good day so far five games in the association and I like how they’re spread out six or 7:30 Eastern lock time so 30 minutes later than usual three of the five games kickoff right then one game at 8 Eastern
And then one game on an island at 10 there’s good Showdown contest like usual we do have Showdown content over here done viran Rio so make sure check that out pretty important injury news in that one as well a lot of injury news five gamer man tons and tons of Q tags Tyrese
Maxi like 10 minutes before we got on the show was ruled out which was nice to get but how you doing Rio this Tuesday afternoon I saw the Slate plan just went up before lock or before the show how’s it going over there yeah it’s going well
Uh fun games yesterday big 11 games slate um yeah I know excited to talk about these games I think it’s a semi straightforward slate obviously with all the injury news we got most of it pretty soon uh obviously the biggest stuff is the embiid news we don’t really know
What’s the deal with him but uh we do our best to break that down as best we can try to give you some scenarios to build around that as if you were in or out so but yeah there’s some some good games on here for sure definitely like
This uh Atlanta Lakers game looks like a really fun one to attack yeah no this looks like a pretty fun slate some big totals out there no favorite above 10 like you mentioned so I mean the story of the Slate right now Julius randle’s out Anthony Davis is out so these Knicks
And these Lakers look like very good plays a lot of these guys but also Tyrese Maxi before we went on the show and beid qag guys like Tyrese are questionable I expect him to play be limited Miles Turner porzingis like there’s a lot of Q tags out there so
We’ll go game by game like always but most definitely this Philly game 10 pm. Eastern probably won’t have MB news I assume if we were to get it we would have got it with maxi so you’re GNA have to play some guess work Game Theory roster construction stuff like that and
We’ll touch on all of that before we do get into it though pb’s in here Ben’s in here Lloyd Evan Jordan Sean Sullivan Lyle Michael Charlie winsel lot Mario Jake what’s going on everybody what is going on Chris appreciate all y’all guys hanging out hopefully everyone having a
Good day like I did say it I looked ahead Wednesday tomorrow really nice NBA slate Thursday kind of like it’s back to the old Monday Wednesday Friday kind of loaded the games t or Tuesday Thursday a little lighter but hey pretty good ball priz Po’s good as always um I’m ready to
Get into it Rio unless you got anything else for us yeah no I mean it’s a good definitely good week for uh for basketball this week got the leaderboard uh tournament going on DraftKings which is always a fun tournament to to do I know uh nades had a lot of success in
That last year um but yeah it’s a huge huge week of basketball this week for sure and I’ll be doing the Friday show this week with uh with hamwich so I’m excited to talk ball with him um and then we’ll be out there in a week after
That uh playing basketball which will be fun yes sir yeah that did you and ham get uh you guys got one-on-one game locked in I don’t know I haven’t even uh I haven’t shot of basketball in quite some time so I have to have to dust off
The uh the Kobes if I’m going to play out there but I’ll mess around I’ll see if he uh I I’ll do a little Scouting Report when you guys play and see see how I match up with hamwi but yeah we’ll see yeah I’m ready for bigam got the got
The frames Chris says yo trying to protect the eyes good day love to see that llin I remember you from before that profile picture Phil’s in here Metro’s in here Ross K juice what’s going on fellas all right five games first game to the last one we’ll start
In Boston the Pacers head to Boston 245 total Boston is favored by eight and there’s a lot of Q injury news in this one so on the Pacers side DJ McConnell’s already out with an illness Tyrese is questionable Miles Turner questionable Benedict Muran questionable Jaylen Smith
Questionable a lot of Q tags there as far as the Boston side Al Horford’s out Luke cornette doubtful Chris Das porzingis questionable in terms of ownership in this game I think it’ll be one of the lowest owned games on this late again I think a lot of people go to
The Lakers side the Nick side without Randall without ad um some Atlanta pieces are interesting now Philly without Maxi maybe no embiid what I’m trying to say this game looks pretty low owned big total though a lot of injury news means a lot for this game break it down best
You can yes so I mean the the Indiana side’s gonna be super low owned as of right now um I think just projecting all these guys in these guys are going to be one to two% Owned and I think that’s probably about right I would just be
Fading this whole team if if we get news that you know all of halber and Turner maen and Jaylen Smith are in just there’s no values that stand out um so I would just yeah I would look to get away from it but um I do yeah I do expect H
Bring to play gonna be on a minutes limit most likely after he returned a couple games ago with I think it was SE aam’s first game or second game with the Pacers he played 35 minutes just pretty much came showed out and then took another week off um but he re-aggravated
The injury so I think they’re going to be very very cautious with him in his minutes um and then don’t we have a strong lean on the Turner stuff I think that they uh Rick Carlos said that he’s trending in the right direction which you know that’s kind of kind of iffy
That’s you know on the fence of if he’s gonna play or not if he’s out then and Jaylen Smith is in I would expect Jaylen Smith to get the start at Center uh Jackson Isaiah Jackson gonna get the backup Center minutes but Jaylen Smith’s pretty banged up too he’s had this kind
Of lingering back issue all season long he’s had a couple times where you know he’s projected to start and then you know five six minutes before the game tips off he gets ruled out with the or even after the game tips off he gets ruled out with the back injury so he’s
Definitely got a a history with this stuff it’s it’s backs spasms for him so if both those guys are out Isaiah Jackson becomes very much in play at 3.4k you’d have to decide between him and the Lakers centers which which one you want to play and we’ve seen Isaiah
Jackson just absolutely smash when he’s given the minutes definitely a tougher match up versus Boston one of the best overall defenses in the league but um he’s gonna get the minutes in 3.4k would be a very good value piece for him and then maen also kind of 5050 he’s got the
Tow injury uh tow Springs I don’t there hasn’t really been much reporting on it so I I would kind of just expect him to play um but yeah if all those guys are in it’s just they’re running too deep of rotation right now to even consider anybody I mean they’re getting into like
Ben Shepard sometimes Obie toppen will play 36 minutes or whatever so I just don’t think you really want to get to the Pacers if all these guys are in and then on the Boston side yeah Horford is going to be out tonight uh it’s kind of how they’ve been treating it back toback
He he’ll sit and then porzingis or somebody else will sit with him but um yeah porzingis questionable right now I think he went through shoot around um and then Luke cornette is doubtful so that’s their backup center uh but yeah porzingis it’s a true ankle injury so I
Think that if he plays he’ll probably be pretty Limited in his return um and then if he’s out you probably see nemis kada and Lamar Stevens get the center minutes um definitely want to monitor this one because I think some more value could even open up on the Bost ins side I
Don’t think that he’s a lock to play tonight and definitely not a lock to play Big minutes they’re definitely GNA want to ease him ease him back with him having a lot of injuries this season but matchup wise really good spot for Jason Tatum he’s killed the Pacers
All season long the Pacers are dead last in DVP to power forwards this season they’ve definitely improved their overall defense um gotten a little bit better with their Rim defense when they’ve been you know towards the bottom half of the or bottom three bottom two in the league with the rim defense but
They’ve gotten a little bit better with SE yakum in there uh but Tatum average averages 60.4 DK points in three games versus Indie this season he’s just absolutely crushed this matchup great spot for him Jaylen Brown as well played really well against Indie 44 and a half
DK points per game versus Indie in three Gam games this season um I think he might get Aaron n Smith defensively which is a little bit tougher could be Andrew nard but I think he probably has a tough pretty tough matchup but AK and 1200 cheaper than Jason Tatum definitely
A fine option and and then Derek white Drew holiday both have benefited when either one of porzingis or uh Al Horford has missed um Derek white a pretty low usage rate with Horford off the floor of the season but he has really solid per 36 numbers 38.3 DK points per 36 um
Tough match up for three-point Shooters but he can he can fill up the stat sheet with Steals and blocks rebounds assists all that stuff so I think that he could definitely get there in a fast-paced game environment and kind of similar to Drew holiday he’s seen his usage TP tick
Up a little bit as of late um but he’s gonna see the easiest match up on the court probably gonna get a lot of Tyrese halber maybe some buddy heeld defensively which is really good spot for him and he’s had some some success in this match up as well went for 39 and
A half DK points last time out um and he averages 35 DK points per 36 minutes with Horford off the court this season phenomenal breakdown yeah injuring news is obviously really important porus Q will get all the news before lock a lot of these Q TS on the
Pacers Tyrese obviously the biggest one though I’m expecting to play I think the Pacers are one of the easier Fades on the Slate and you’re same with Boston if porzingis plays I think I’d probably Max I don’t know either one two definitely Max but Tatum zingis Jaylen Brown Derek white
Drew holiday I think they’re all fine for their price and their ownership outside of tatm I think get some 9.2k a solid spend like MBS a tough click right now you do have LeBron some side like LeBron a lock tonight will get there pretty soon definitely not a lock
A strong play though but I do expect Tatum to get some ownership but it to be pretty spread out in that 9k range what do you see for Tatum ownership um if pzas is in then if it goes out I assume it goes up even more yeah I think he’s
Going to get a lot of ownership regardless a lot of the I mean the best like cheap cheap value options are at Center so naturally you’re going to run double center Double spin down center tonight then you are GNA you’re gonna end up spinning up for forward and point
Guard so I think that Tatum comes in as one of the higher own studs tonight regardless that would you make any rule with those Celtics guys like I take you don’t want to play Drew Jaylen Brown and Tatum but would you be with two of those
Celtics as yeah I think I think Max 2 is probably the way to play it I’m thinking through if I would want to be like Max one the guards like white and holiday and then Max one Tatum Brown but I do think that uh I don’t think that any of
These guys really neg negatively correlate that much where you’d want to group it out I would just probably be Max two entirely I like it I like it yeah Boston side a little interesting Indiana unless a lot of these Q tags are out doubt I see it’d pretty much be like
If Isaiah Jackson got the start at Center Jaylen Smith at the five the Turner Q tag news I think would change the most for Indiana for me keep it rolling next game again three of the five at 7:30 Eastern actually we do appreciate that like button as well
Haven’t asked yet always forget but takes two seconds you guys don’t like hearing it I don’t like saying it we do appreciate though helps us out a ton over here Utah Jazz New York Micks 230 total Micks are favored by four and a half no injury news on the Utah side on
The Nick’s side though obviously important news Julius Randall will be out for the second straight game um OG is questionable as well so if OG’s out again they started precious I’d assume they probably go back to Precious Dante tan chenzo man give this guy uh some
Minutes and he just puts up numbers this Nick side is definitely a lot more than the Utah side Brunson Grimes divon chenzo Josh Hart I all do think get a good bit of ownership outside of them though I don’t know like if OG plays I think he could be maybe an inter
Interesting uh pivot on the Knicks thoughts on precious if he does start an OG’s out 5.4k then I’ll let you take away um your thoughts on your your Utah Jazz yeah I’ll start with the Jazz side because I think this one’s pretty easy to break down I think the only people
You’re really considering are Lori seon and Clarkson and that’s like kind of towards the bottom half of you know where I’d want them in my player pool that the Jazz and Will Hardy has said that they’re going to run a 10-man rotation pretty much every night um so
That you know that’s not what you want to hear from a fantasy perspective it’s kind of similar to the Pacers where they run a really deep rotation every night and you don’t see more than one or two guys have a good fantasy night on a day-to-day basis so I don’t think that
Any of these Utah guys are really a priority tonight and then yeah the Nick side uh D chenzo Josh Hart both are great values regardless of ogn and obi’s availability we know that Tom Tibido is going to run a really tight rotation he’s going to play these guys a ton of
Minutes and we even saw uh last night Dante dant chenzo was playing like 17 18 minutes stints in each half uh played 42 minutes last night so he’s he’s gonna play a 10 minutes again and this is a really good matchup jazzer still one of the worst defenses uh three-point
Defenses in the league U dead last in transition defense as well so both these guys in a really good spot Josh Hart gonna continue to see his rebounding rates increase with um with Randall on the side line Isaiah hardstein also on a minutes limit right now which just
Boosts up um Josh Hart’s rebounding percentage so I think that he’s a totally fine option 5.5k and then the yeah OG he’s getting up there in price right now so I don’t think that he’s you know he’s in play definitely at 6.8k if he plays really
Good matchup um but yeah I don’t know 7K is a little bit too expensive for me I think um yeah I don’t there’s not hasn’t really been a ton of reporting it was like like elbow inflammation so I don’t know how bad that really is I don’t know
If they were just trying to find a night off offer him because he’s been playing you know huge minutes lately um and then Jaylen Brunson in a great spot here against the Jazz team that struggle to contain opposing guards all season long obviously gonna see huge usage increase
With Randle on the on the shelf for a few weeks um and then the usage Outlook only gets better with OG out so yeah those are the main guys Brunson Deon chenzo Josh Hart and then uh yeah you mentioned precious if OG was out he’s going to play Big minutes but I
Don’t I don’t really see a ceiling for him as much as I do for divon chenzo and Josh Hart so I would prefer those guys and then if you want to get down to Quinton Grimes again I know there was a lot of talk about him in the Discord
Earlier today um you know if you know saying he was a bad play or or a lock or whatever last night I think that you know somebody getting 32 minutes off the bench taking double digit shots is always a good play in my opinion regardless of the the outcome don’t want
To be too results Orient oriented as Tambo always likes to say but this is a really good spot for three-point Shooters so I think Grimes could have a bounceback game here if OG was out but I think he’s fine regardless I’m gonna mute up really quick yeah yeah gr I get
Where people were coming on both sides about Grimes yesterday like results oriented like if 31 minutes 11 shot attempts six of those were three-point field goals that’s really good for 3700 on a slate where value wasn’t great yesterday however I mean his ownership was crazy there’s no doubt about that as
A shooter coming off the bench so I I got both sides yesterday today the ownership isn’t I mean it’s going to be there for sure but a lot of these Nick like he might be low the lowest owner Brunson Hart Divan chenzo at least it’ll be relatively close yesterday he was on
An island when it came to ownership so yeah I wouldn’t compare the same play him yesterday play as today now would you be fine playing four Nicks like someone asked what about value tonight this next game we’ll talk about a lot of the value on the Lakers side today with
No ad but obviously Grimes is 36 Hart 55 Dante 57 you plug those three in and then like a Jaylen Brunson would that be fine with you or would you Max three uh probably be Max three now just because we are getting more value in the
The Philly side of things and that could be even better later um also I think that there’s you know there’s some good options in that mid tier especially on the Golden State Side kaminga Draymond Green as well um so I probably won’t be Max three entirely
Um I don’t know I think I made a rule last night to be Max two of divon chenzo Hart and Grimes but I think I would probably be a little bit looser with this being a smaller slate and if you had to pick one Clarkson Lori saon any lean there or
Whatever really fits obviously all kind of different ranges 81 68 58 I guess I guess Clarkson probably be my favorite at 5.8k prices really come down and and I if you want to want to get into the narratives obviously I know all the the rumors around the Jazz
There’s a lot of talk about him possibly going to the Knicks so you know maybe wants to wants to show out for the future employers um they’ve had like a a trade kind of centered around him with the Jazz getting Quinton Grimes and like Evan for some picks something like that
So yeah maybe he uh maybe he wants to show out in in the garden I love it I love that for sure we’ll keep it going again five games on the Slate two of three so far at 7:30 Eastern this one a big though big one though and Jasmine
Will answer a lot of your question where value is Lakers headed to Atlanta 247 total Hawks favored by six injury news on the Lakers side ad is out obviously that is why a lot of this ownership going to the Lakers LeBron is questionable I’m assuming he plays but
Again we will get this news if he is out it’ll change a lot I mean Lakers already strong plays all of these guys would be massively owned cam Rish as well is out for the Lakers Atlanta side dejonte questionable DeAndre Hunter questionable so big news there throw to in a saario
But some value in this game Christian Wood I think probably starts at the five if not it’s probably Jackson Hayes regardless both of them are in play in my opinion 36 for wood 3K for Hayes tell me if you think they go somewhere else starting LeBron 97 I think he is very
Popular Austin Reed’s a solid price T 5.9k toian Prince 37 but in that mid 3K range like the Grimes area I think gets a little bit of ownership Jared vanderville 4.4k you can go there for a little value got ejected seven minutes into the game yesterday who are your favorites of that
Bunch who do you think it’s a start for the Lakers and then any lean on this Sante um Q so I’m seeing the projected starter is Jared Vanderbilt actually at Center um which I I mean I think that makes sense obviously like Clint capella is not he’s
Not the same type of Center you know like a Joel embiid or you know joic vich whatever he’s not a scoring Center he’s just there to sit set pick and rolls um I think they can get away with starting Vando at the five tonight would definitely make him I have interest in
Him regardless um pensac kind of got me on him over the weekend he just been really smashing lately he smashed at like 3% ownership in that golden State Warriors game obviously double overtime definitely helped but he’s been playing a lot better as of late 2527 and 41
Minutes in three straight games 3330 and 39.75 DK points in those three games so I think he was a he’d be a great option at 4.4k Power Forward Center eligible still think that Christian Wood uh would be a strong value option same with Jackson Hayes he’s Min priced they would probably just
Be um yeah I’m trying to think of how they would split up the center minutes I guess they would just split it three ways but that’d be I’d be nervous if if they go vanderbel at the five I would probably Max one Hayes Christian Wood
And I mean it feels like it’s got to be wood over I don’t know I feel much better about wood I think Hayes would get the one I’d be I definitely would be worried about yeah I think I’m in agreement with you there I I yeah if uh
If neither one if Vanderbilt does start then yeah for sure it be Max one and definitely would be leaning with Christian Wood I think that Hayes could probably dnp or not see a lot of minutes at all um and from the Atlanta side injury wise yeah there’s a chance both both
These guys play tonight both were at shootaround this morning um that doesn’t really mean as much because where there’s been guys that were at shoot around that missed the game I think porzingis yesterday was at shootaround missed the game um I think dejan Murray probably more likely to play than
DeAndre Hunter he DeAndre Hunter is coming off a pretty pretty big knee injury he’s you know had a history of knee injuries I believe um so I don’t think that he’s he’s guaranteed to come back and play tonight they could definitely ease him back but they they
Do have the day off tomorrow so he could play tonight but I would expect him to be extremely limited probably 15 upper teens minutes something like that um definitely would take some more of the minutes up upside off of sadique bay I’m guessing I don’t think that they’d
Really want to take anything away from Jaylen Johnson just with how well he’s played this season so I think sadik Bay would be the one that would probably be the um negative negatively impacted um but yeah on the the Lakers side of things with Anthony Davis out
Yeah dealing with a ton of injuries obviously the the Achilles stuff he’s had history of a bunch of different injuries lower body injuries so he’ll be out tonight and then LeBron James questionable he has said that he’s he’s expected to play tonight but I would
Take that with a grain OFA I mean he played 45 minutes against or 48 minutes against the Warriors then 37 minutes last night 3 6 minutes the game before that could definitely see him sitting tonight even though he said he’s going to play we’ll definitely have that news
Before the Slate starts so we’ll be able to update but I kind of think that he sits tonight even though he said he’s gonna play just makes makes a lot of sense for him getting up there in age uh running out their huge minutes so that would make all of d’angel Russell Austin
Reeves Vanderbilt ruy tan Prince even all these guys would really be in play um as it stands right now with LeBron in Austin Reeves probably preferred option on the Lakers side um he’s seen the biggest the biggest bump in usage second on the team in usage behind LeBron with
Ad off the court the season and he averages close to 40 DK points per 36 minutes should benefit from this being a fast-paced game environment so I like him the best D’Andre Russell been playing extremely well lately um really easy match up gonna see one of Trey
Young or bogdanovich if if Murray were to miss and he’s just been playing really good lately scoring no less than 4 40 DK points in six of his last 10 10 games obviously going to see a pretty big usage bump um with Anthony Davis off
The floor this season and then yeah I I would I don’t have anything negative to say about LeBron I think that he’s a fine spend up option if he’s in great matchup um yeah he’s a totally totally strong spend up option but on the Atlanta side of things
I really like the spot for Trey young and I don’t think that he’s going to come in very highly owned 99.8k pretty tough and with getting the Murray back would definitely take a little bit of upside off of him but the Lakers have been pretty bad defensively especially
In the new year um they are bottom 14 Rim defense which is about three spots below their season average bottom 11 three-point defense which is a slight improvement from their season long average but they’re still one of the worst transition defenses in the league where they’re bottom four bottom five in
Points allowed in isolation defense and bottom 10 in pick and roll defense and Trey Young uh definitely thrives in in the pick and roll so I think that this could be a really big spot for him especially not having Anthony Davis down low to help affect the shots and only
Gets better if the jont Murray were to miss he probably would get some more ownership in that scenario but I like Trey young tonight and then I think Jaylen Johnson 7.4k totally he’s gonna be really low owned it’s a really expensive price attck for him but this
Is a good like one of the game environments that he could really thrive in with it being really fast fast paac both these teams playing up in Pace in January both are down in in their defensive ratings and everything like that so I think that Jaylen Johnson um is in a
Good spot here should be largely unaffected by by DeAndre Hunter I believe and then um sadik Bay bogdanovich both in play if Murray and Hunter were out but if both those guys are in not looking to go there um I think that does it for that one yeah no
Another great breakdown for sure is if the dejon news so if they’re if he’s in I really just have interest in Trey Jaylen Johnson I think Deonte would be fine too and that’s because I’m already gonna play decent amount of Lakers all three of them look to be pretty low
Owned I like the Tre out for sure if dejon’s out Trey probably gets probably becomes one of the more popular spend UPS on the Slate especially if LeBron does Miss and takes one of those away but yeah Jaylen Johnson and no ownership 74 should be uptempo game I I like that
Definitely have to watch who’s starting for the Lakers and you think LeBron might even sit which would throw a whole wrench into like DLo and would by far be probably the two best plays on the Slate Christian Wood they would need it would be all the Lakers like play five of them
If you wanted or whatever they’re already the value and it’ even be better if LeBron was out but even if LeBron’s in monitor who starts at the five I think they can go wood Vanderbilt I mean they could go Hayes I’m not sure they will go Hayes over wood but if they do
Go small and vanderbild at the five it I’m definitely worried about Jackson Hayes a bit at 3K um because you cannot take any DMP any zero on a slate like this ruy even gets a bigger way bigger bump I think he gets one of the biggest bumps probably if there is no LeBron
Need a scoring and his aggressiveness a little more torian Prince is fine regardless never a great click though but yeah this Lakers renge game for Tan Prince oh wow yeah he’s gonna he’s really gonna show him but so right now how many Lakers would you Max and then
Or is there a Max would you be fine with five right now four Max right now um probably four I don’t think I don’t think I’m would get to five I None of these it’s not like as of right now with LeBron in you’re only seeing positive values on
Four of them obviously DLo Reeves and Christian Wood right now but I think that could definitely change uh if LeBron would be out then I think you could probably get to five but that might be that still might be too much with they being uh yeah I don’t know I think you’re
Getting on to a pretty obvious build if you’re going with five of them yeah no that’s a good point there probably probably four Max maybe even three right now and then if LeBron’s out four or five but yeah be careful because everyone will be jamming in those Lakers
So got to get different somewhere two games left on the slates um I see Boomer got NHL projections up got NBA NBA is updated throughout the night of course a lot of Q tags news changes core reports are updated projection updated throughout the night golf starts Thursday morning getting the swing of
Things Waste Management coming up can’t wait for that prize pools always massive there MMA 11 straight weeks G to be a lot of fun have NHL content as well head over to shipping.com weekly monthly six-month and annual packages give it a try and get in the Discord if you do do
A monthly six-month or annual package two games left Toronto Raptor Chicago Bulls 226 total Chicago favored by six and a half injury report for Toronto quickly doubtful RJ Barrett out yaka Perle questionable as far as the bull side Pat Will and Zack LaVine are out I think this is an
Interesting game stack kind of game I mean there’s so many like the Lakers the Knicks I can’t avoid all those spots but I think on the Toronto side Vu Kobe white D rozan all solid plays right in that 7K range I’d be fine playing two of
Them probably not three on this l but I think they’re all very solid I think Caruso is even fine as well and then going to Toronto side Scotty Barnes Bruce Brown schroer I don’t know I think this game’s fine more interest on the Chicago side but probably like four
Pieces two or three Bulls one or two Raptors um maybe at OT game relatively low on I think that could uh that could work on this five gameer what about you yeah I think I agree with you um yeah it’s kind of a sneaky game stack Raptors I’ve been trying to hammer this
Point home but they’ve just been I’m sure people have caught on to it by now but the Raptors have been so bad defensively since they traded away uh ojan anobi and Pascal SE yakum I’ve been trying to find ways to attack them pretty much every slate that they’re on
Um and it’s a good spot too tonight Bulls guys are pretty reasonably priced DeMar rosen vuich Kobe white I like all these guys definitely would be Max two of the three I think I prefer Kobe white the best um and then yeah I guess IO and K or Caruso
Could make your player pool as well but pretty looking like a good amount of ownership on iO and I think that there probably better value options as of now I would rather spend up at point guard tonight with with Trey and Brunson those type of guys um but I don’t think that
He’s he’s not in play under a sub 5K is fine for him and then on the the Toronto side of things they kind of tough to break down because they’re getting possibly getting yaka P back I would expect him to be on a minutes limit so they’ve been running
You know this Thad young John C Porter twom Man game and I would expect John Porter probably be out of the rotation if yaka Perle is back would also expect Perle to be pretty limited but that should definitely be a pretty big boost to their offensive Outlook a pretty
Solid pick and roll guy so I think that would definitely increase the you know Assist rates of guys like Dennis Schroeder Scotty Barnes but I’m really not too excited about this Toronto side Scotty Barnes especially coming in pretty high owned I think this is a good
Spot to get away from him uh gonna have a really tough defender on him I would expect Alex cruso to get the defensive assignment and he just really has not been that good with uh you know getting this ex this extended role with quickly RJ Barrett out with the OG gone Pascal
Seak gone just hasn’t really hasn’t really done it and this uh this Bulls team pretty solid Rim defense much more uh vulnerable to catch and shoot three-point Shooters and that’s just not really Scotty barnes’s game um so yeah almost almost 9k for him just I think that I’m going to get away from
Him his per 36 minute numbers are not that great with the current injuries that they have so I think that I’m gonna be looking to get away from Scotty Barnes schroer did not really see the minutes increase I was expecting last game with all these injuries U could
Have been due to foul trouble I think that he was you know kind of in foul trouble most of the game guarding Trey young but yeah not not really a good spot for him either bus are one of the best teams versus uh versus point guards this season
Um so until he gets a you know higher minutes ceiling I think that he’s out of play for me and then I guess Bruce Brown will probably be the one I’m the most excited about on the the Raptor side of things doesn’t have not g to take a ton
Of shots doesn’t really have big shot volume not a good you know not taking a lot of three-point Shooters this is a much better matchup for three-point Shooters but he can fill the stat sheet and he’s had nine re nine rebounds in back-to-back games he got up to 37
Minutes last game so I think that he could be looking at heavy minutes again um matchup wise this is probably the best spot for Gary Trent Jr but I just don’t think that he’s got a ton of upside 4.9k but I think that you could probably
Leave him in your player pool is just like a lower owned value option and then I don’t really know how to touch on this like Jordan no Grady dick stuff because they both played bigger minutes last game no just randomly got you know 32 minutes always been a pretty solid gu
Like Point per minute guy when he gets the minutes back when he was uh with Milwaukee but yeah I don’t know how sticky the the situation is for him minutes wise if you have any any input on that definitely is not safe um I don’t know they’re still without
Quickly they’re they’re probably gonna want his offense and when he’s on I mean how do you not play him at least some Braun like I don’t think he’s gonna get up to 30 minutes again unless he’s played as well as he did last game but anytime he’s on the court 27% usage last
Game expect somewhere in the low 20s a pivot off of all those Lakers the cheap Nicks Etc and he just showed that upside at 47 a lot of people in YouTube have been talking about him he’s definitely a Hooper and he can fill it up in a lot of
Ways when he’s on the court he’s aggressive I think there’s worst tournament plays out there for sub five% uh fandel is 5K definitely don’t like that 4.2k on DK if you’re playing all the chalk in the world I think he’s a way to get different a little bit but some of these
Other value plays like in a vacuum if Vanderbilt does start um or if Christian Wood started there’s I guess ruy maybe not necessarily better but I still do prefer those Lakers I think he’s fine in tournaments though gotcha um we did get more yeah I was gonna say we got more injury news
Marcus Morris questionable but we’ll touch on that game did you have any other final thoughts in that I’m with you the bull side a lot more interesting than Toronto you didn’t like Scotty I will say I think the Raptors ownership will be a little or like I don’t think iio Scotty
I don’t think these guys will be as high owned as you probably think I think more Knicks Lakers get priority but this definitely get a little bit probably yeah I I did want to mention too I think that the the spot would be a lot better
For vuvi if yaka purle is in um I’ve talked about a lot of times on this show just yaka Perle like him as a player just not a very good rim protector I think that Lich could have his way with with that matchup if yaka perto were to
Be in tonight um so that’s yeah that’s kind of how I would approach I think dear probably my least favorite of the Raptors just just because he’s the most expensive Kobe white and him are both playing a ton of minutes right now so I like like Kobe white a lot tonight as
Well yeah I mean man D we always talk about it but like when has he even had six y the 62 piece one was that December 11th probably his only 60 piece of the year which you don’t need 60 at 7.8k 55 will do the job but he’d be my least
Favorite of the three Bulls there as well one game left on this slate again injury news does continue to hit but Philadelphia 76ers Golden State Warriors 236 total Warriors are favored by four in this one we got so Batum was ruled out and he wasn’t even on the injury
Report so that’s interesting we had Maxi as a q tag who’s now out and beid the big questionable tag if he’s out Paul Reed probably starts Melton and cumington are already out so again that’s Maxi Batum Covington melting out and be questionable then on the Golden
State Side nothing new on that side CP3 Moody Payton they’ve been out over there kaminga was getting the most ownership in this game um 5.8k solid price I’ll let you touch on that side with this Philly though even when Maxi was out I didn’t think much ownership went to this
Philly side because embiid being questionable changes everything like these guys if embiid’s in I think Tobias is fine at 66 but even Pat B 5.4k you got to do something Uber at 64 I mean I don’t even want any of these other guys really down there so and beid
If he’s out then I’d want all the UB the tobias’s the bevs other the world but I don’t know if I’m gonna have roster spots for that so any take in NB does Batum news again who wasn’t on the injur report now is out does that change anything up Morris is questionable which
I didn’t even say lots unpack in this game man take it away yeah so definitely kind of unpacking it as we see because I was uh when I initially started writing this up I was just writing it as if embiid and Maxi were questionable I didn’t really have time to digest the
Information and obviously getting the Batum news is definitely big um I think even even Marcus Morris if he were to miss kind of big as well not a obviously not a huge impactful fantasy player but I mean they would be really really thin at the forward position you probably see
Daniel house KJ Martin play pretty big minutes tonight uh obviously Tobias Harris Kelly U Gonna Fill in there but UB has been playing more of the you know shooting guard small small forward role as of late so yeah I would expect more minutes for Daniel house and KJ
Martin um yeah I don’t know I think that if you are looking to get into this game you probably start with embiid and a couple other players like I would want at least two people in this game if I’m looking to get into it probably three
Even and then just give yourself as much roster flexibility as you can you know can get to go down to Steph Curry and up from I don’t know like I mean everybody’s pretty reasonably priced so it’s like you’re you probably be end up leaving a lot of
Salary on the table starting with him be since he’s 12K and the next High high price guy behind Steph Curry is 6.6k so you probably leaving yeah a good amount of salary who do you think starts for Bon Mo Morris if he does play and then if he’s out as
Well house Bev and go small Tobias at the four and have Pat Bev Chase around step well I mean I guess there’s no M huh where do you think they go because be’s gonna start for Maxi probably it’ll probably be it’s gonna be Bev UB Harris for sure um and
Then so what it be house probably house if if Morris is not in I think Morris probably gets a start if he’s in uh yeah I don’t know probably house he’s been playing more minutes as of late as well so you know 28 minutes if
You wanted to start with him make a a pivot from these these other Lakers guys or um whatever like Nicks guys like I guess he’s not really a pivot to them much cheaper but he’s been playing more minutes as of late so he’d probably be the biggest beneficiary if uh if Morris
Were to miss as well um just not really too sure what the upside even is for him he’s gonna he’s just yeah I don’t know how much do you see yourself get into the like this game as much like it’s I mean I think it’s all mb’s interesting in
Tournaments but you have to know if he’s ruled out and you only have two like you’re gonna be leaving salary on the table and you pretty much it feels like our donating at that point if you play MB and he’s ruled out and you only have two spots like Paul Reed
Ain’t G to get you 80 which is why you want to play and beat Etc I don’t want Stephen 91 relative to Tatum to LeBron to the other guys we’ve talked about if we don’t get this news man I I think I’m good just being fine with
It like if it beats me it beats me like I think kaminga is fine draymond’s fine Tobias is fine I think I’d rather take shots on those guys more like even Tobias is probably my favorite sixer if embiid’s in fine he’s still 66 there’s no Batum there’s no Maxi he’ll play all
The minutes if he’s out then I love him right there and you don’t have to worry about that 66 salary like he’s a good player regardless so I’m just good plugging him in like I guess even Pat be he does get a boost if mb’s out at 5’4 I
Think he’s okay if uh if mb’s in so I think he’d be fine as well but I don’t know man and be it on this late I think there’s enough other guys in the high 9k range stuff like that a balance build that I’m totally good just not getting
To embiid really and having to worry about all that but what are your um and then touch on this I know we talked a little pre-show but you want to touch on why Harris only played 20 minutes yeah so yeah had to do with the blowout and then uh also he returned I
Think it was like a three- game injury absence something like that ankle injury um yeah I kind of made the mistake of playing him too much in Showdown but kind of expected him to or the the Sixers be able to keep a game close versus the Portland Trailblazers which
Is I don’t know I guess sue me for what a wild what a wild Showdown yeah I woke up I woke up from it same news yeah to like I cast some ticket Tobias leaving 5K on the table Tobias is the chalk cap I mean what a what a weird weird game
Then you got the blowout there too yeah yes so I think it had had a lot to do with probably just the blowout stuff because they did have uh Kelly UB and or uh sorry injury stuff because they had Kelly UB and Paul Reed out there pretty
Late in the game um so yeah that’s what uh just got a projections update yeah Marcus Morris probably I think he’s gonna end up being the projected starter right now if uh if he’s in is what I’m seeing projections wise um yeah just touch on the Golden State stuff really
Quick because I do think there are some very interesting plays on this side obviously um Draymond Green and D kiga have been playing really well gonna see the same starting lineup for the the Warriors going forward with uh I mean this is their best starting lineup as
Well I I’m surprised they didn’t go to this sooner obviously Draymond Green’s been out for a while but Steph Curry uh Klay Thompson Andrew Wiggins kaminga and Draymond Green really good starting lineup can go with Draymond Green at the five he’s he can hold his own he
Obviously had a really good game against the Lakers held Anthony Davis in check for the most part um but yeah the I mean this team just runs so much better with Draymond Green out there I know that he’s kind of uh he’s the talking point A
Lot of times with you know the all the on the court Antics with the violence and whatever you want to call it but I mean he just he’s such a Difference Maker um I wanted to shout out uh NBA University I think they’re really really good follow on Twitter but they this is
What definitely what I like to do when I have the time to sit down and watch a basketball game you can just they said uh take the time to just like sit down and watch one player for you know five 10 possessions on both ends of the court
And just see what they do off ball and or what they when they have the ball in their hands you can see how they make an impact I think that Draymond is kind of the perfect person to watch because he just does so much you see him very vocal
Defensively obviously he makes such a big impact with the uh offscreen stuff on offense and the passing and everything uh so I want to shout out them because they’re really really good follow on Twitter if you guys have a Twitter definitely give them a shout out
But yeah like uh like jaymond green a lot gonna continue to play a lot of minutes kaminga been playing really well since he and uh well he just entered the starting lineup last game but he’s been playing really well last six games no less than 34 DK points got a price
Decrease 5.8k probably gonna be pretty popular but I like it a lot um yeah good good play on him I think that Andrew Wiggins even is in consideration if you want to get a pivot off of kaminga uh $500 cheaper um yeah been playing better double digit shot attempts in five of
His last six games and then Steph he’s a okay I guess contrarian spin up option but I mean it took him two overtimes to finally produce a tournament worthy fantasy scorer definitely seeing a scoring increase with Draymond Green back in the lineup uh back from suspension but the Sixers defense has
Been really really good it taken away three-point Shooters all season long they’re the second best team in three-point defense and um I guess the one advantage that Seth does have is the Sixers are bottom six in transition defense but the Warriors just don’t really score a lot of points in
Transition they’re much more of a half court offense so I think that step is just more of a contrarian spend up option but would give your roster a bunch of flexibility if you start with him um and a couple other guys and then can pivot things around if embiid gets
Ruled out so I think that he he makes some sense yeah 9.1k again with Draymond back I give him a boost Pat be is probably just gonna be in his jockstrap all night John who knows that I don’t look at individual matchups too much but I like
Tatum more for 100 more Tatum 92 Steph 91 I like Tatum more can only get better porzingis is there I do like LeBron more he’s G to be lower own than all of them so maybe if you’re eating kind of like we talk about war if you’re eating all
The other chalk on that slate War gets you different if you flip it you eat value chalk and you need to get different up top playing Steph over someone like Tatum is a way to do that um but I like kaminga is definitely my favorite play in this game I think
Draymond’s fine at 62 as well again embiid if you have a strong lean like M I think my favorite way probably would go is hoping the or 76ers are punting this game then you get Paul Reed because if Paul Reed starts 5.7k none of these
Other guys I think I 5% own or whatever he is I’d be good there but again if you don’t get him beat out you have Paul reeden at Center not very fun I mean you you get Draymond at 6’2 so I’d make sure to be
Able to get Draymond and be able to plug him there at Center so I guess Mor of the story plan ahead with this game five games on the Slate this game on an island two hours after Toronto Chicago and big news on the embiid side so plan
Head is definitely what I have to say Tobias I think is fine either way though and is my favorite six are there any final thoughts for the people we got John talking about Tobias was sick and he had that Derek in here appreciate the words not much uh not much else 45 minutes
Talking five games slate anything final for the people yeah no I think we uh did a good job breaking down um yeah just wanted to reiterate one more time and you already mentioned it but if you are playing into this game just have a plan 2v2 swaps 3v3 three swaps um give
Yourself a lot of roster flexibility if you start with embid then just know that you’re probably going to end up leaving 2K on the table possibly even more so just be prepared for that type of situation um definitely think that not playing into this game very deep is a
Way to go as well there’s enough enough good games with the Lakers like we talked about uh Boston side of things Nicks um Chicago all that stuff so I think there are ways to get around it but definitely have a plan in place if you are getting into this game is how I
Would approach it yep great breakdown final thought or final questions appreciate that Gator Nation hope everything going well with you is wood still a good play if he doesn’t start I still do think wood is a good play if he doesn’t start it would scare me more off
A Jackson Hayes if they started smaller at the five then do you think a curry Dre with Bev UB Tobias is a bad pair on FanDuel that is a lot of players in that game um looking at the pricing on FanDuel quick right now it’s probably a
Little more overboard than I would go personally um yeah I like the Lakers stuff there’s the Nick stuff I probably wouldn’t get to that many in that game personally appreciate everyone hanging out as always again like button helps us out a ton before you hit that x button
