never hear me say that Sean’s work over on the uh Raptor newsletter uh top class he is churning out unbelievable stuff there I might even I I know I know I know I might even go subscribe to the Raptors newsletter so you can uh do that as well Sean’s popping out some really good stuff over there all right what are we talking about um yeah Friday seven games on in the NBA we got a seven game Thursday seven game Friday the busy day coming up is Sunday and then we heading to like nothing nothing one game one game Monday two games Tuesday two games Wednesday I believe it is yeah it is a very very lean stretch of games NBA cup um games on which is okay it’s okay I I know people get up in arms it’s killed us it’s ruined everything it’s just the end of fantasy like it’s okay we’re good it’s just a couple of days off our guys who are hurt get a couple of days to rest if you’ve managed the schedule correctly in your league then we’re going to be okay it’s just a few days with lower volume and I don’t know what we’ll do in terms of shows over those days we’ll still do our Recaps of what happens but a couple of little extra features chucked in there as well all right what are we going to talk about here well let’s uh let’s talk about the games let’s go into the first one on uh Friday the first one there is your my our there Orlando Magic they take on the Philadelphia 76s I swear to God we just had this game about two days ago but that’s okay um schedule Wise It’s Friday Sunday for our magic and then they play Tuesday as part of the NBA cup and then they’re either on Saturday or Sunday if they win on Tuesday they’re on Saturday if they lose on Tuesday they play on Sunday the Sixers no such luck of making The Knockout round they’re are Friday Sunday team and just the one game next week yuck they play on the Friday next week but of course that is great if you’ve got a Paul George it’s great if you’ve got a Joel embiid because you give them a little bit more time to recover and get back to increased health and you don’t actually miss any games played that’s a w in that spot who’s out Paulo banera is out Gary Harris is out Johnny Isaac left the last game with what they called a cramp didn’t look like a cramp to me but whatever he is available to play uh embiid is going to be out on Friday uh ADM boner is out well it’s always a tough day when your boner is out and that’s how the Sixers are having to deal with that but the big fell the big avocado Andre Drummond is is maybe returning he’s still going to be behind gersan yabas but he’s returning and no you no you don’t add Andre Drummond uh Paulie George sat the last game for rest so did Kyle Larry they’re both going to be back in this one what been watching on the magic side it is John Isaac because he only played 14 minutes last game he put up a ve like this this man will never do this ever John Isaac he would never played 30 minutes he would be a top 25 fantasy player without any question to be like a 15 and N guy with two threes two steals two blocks three assists he’d be unbelievable but he’ll never do it so now we’ just got to hope we get a baseline 22 minutes it is not for everybody there are going to be ups and downs and there are going to be days where the low minutes are really frustrating but I do believe he’s got a spot on somebody’s 12 team roster for categories points just forget that don’t worry about it’s not for you it’s not for you it’s for category Lees for the Sixers it’s Paul George for me there’s two things I want to watch with Paul George last game we saw him he was awesome so that should ease some of your concerns but then what does the trickle down effects do how does the trickle down Paul Georg nomics work does that mean that we get better efficiency from Maxi does that mean we see Jared McCain going away again don’t know so I I I will stand on this hill I won’t die on it I’ll die for other reasons which is totally cool I’m done right o over it but I’m not going to die in the hill of Tes Maxi can’t be the number one guy but every evidence suggests that he can’t at this point so let’s see how does the usage ramp back down how does his efficiency rise back up if Paul now I’m also not going to tell you that Paul George is going to be a number one guy but at this point he’s definitely got more a track record to being that player so I want to see how that interplay Works in terms of stream guys it continues to be Goa badad again I I think you are seeing some of the limit I love Goa a lot let me again re reput that out there I love Goa a lot but we are seeing some of the limitations of Goa bad as a player there are many people who would love to claim categorically that he’s significantly better than wend and they just need to start him and play him 28 every single night and I I understand that you’ve seen that through certain games but there are also certain games here where it’s like you know about this like last game wasn’t very good he did suffer a back injury early in the game he played through it but we we stream him in we watch it but also I haven’t seen enough from Goa to suggest that he locks down 26 starting irrespective of who plays I don’t think that is true so we just need to keep watching that and streaming him in of course and same with the dancing bear Gerson yabas no embiid and a questionable drummer and of course we don’t have boner in that one for the 76ers what about the second game of the day that is the Lakers old master the Splinter himself taking on the Hawks in Atlanta the Lakers play Friday Sunday and then also Friday Sunday and um the Hawks go Friday Sunday and they’ve got NBA Cup games they play Wednesday and then if they win it’s on Saturday and if they lose it’s on Sunday wood is out well we had boner out in one we’ve had wood out in in the next one is Johnson going to be out in the next one what about dick is he available just let keep firing up um no wood no Vanderbilt no Hayes I’m just going to label bronny James that is LeBron James Jr as doubtful and I also believe that we got we actually got an update on the Lakers injury reporting between me creating this graphic and putting it up so Austin Reeves has been ruled out and LeBron James 82 game goal Legend is ruled questionable because I’m not sure if you’re aware of this that was an insane thing to try and do it’s an insane thing for anybody to play 82 games let alone a 40-year old man and you are seeing how how much this fatigue is impacting LeBron he will not play 82 games he would never was never going to play 82 games they can claim whatever they want it’s just not realistic and this is just like it’s a Taylor’s old as LeBron which is the Taylor’s oldest time is where people come out and they say these outlandish things and you go yeah okay cool that’s not happening this is not going to happen it’s just a physical impossibility for you to do this and then you’re six weeks into the season yeah the coach comes out JJ reick it’s like yeah maybe we’re not going to play May two games because it doesn’t make sense and of course it doesn’t make sense of course it doesn’t make sense but you know what we want just players out there we don’t want good quality stuff we want just players out there that’s all we need we want to see them we don’t want good stuff why would we am I annoyed at it a little bit um Austin Reeves again is out again which is frustrating that means that we can keep firing up the old DLo train which I know you all love doing Jaylen hood chafino is out and Anthony Davis I listed probable because he is going to do the probable Dance all season and I wouldn’t be shocked if not that Davis is going to sit this game but his last few have been terrible he is dealing with plant fasciitis which is a long-term problem he will sit some games coming up as well I’m very very certain of that I don’t know when that’ll be but he will sit games and this is a really incredibly busy stretch of the schedule for the Lakers on the Lakers I I probably do hate myself a little bit too much but I do want to watch R hamura and that’s you know that’s not a fun exercise at all but with Austin Reeves out and with LeBron maybe out ruy will get an opportunity to do things and we know what ruy does we know what Ru is able to do and what scenarios he works in 35 minutes above average usage and get hot shooting that’s what he does he doesn’t do anything else it’s also a good opportunity for allate dton connect to get more shots and more usage because that is what he needs as well now he’s in a real slump at the moment shooting wise we’ll see that if that bounces back up Trey young has also popped up on the injury report as probable um he’s going to have that probable tag for a while um again a fake injury very clearly independent doctor uh who went to upstairs Hollywood medical clinic said that Trey was available that to play in that game against the Celtics and he obviously didn’t have a real injury so I’m just going to call that this is a lie all Trey struggles and shooting issues and not finishing at The Rim is just clearly in his head and not injury related so that’s all good but Trey is on the injury report again with the kill’s issue he’s going to keep playing through it and this is actually an interesting spot and it depends who’s got Trey in your league but this is an interesting byow position for Trey cuz people like what do I do people get start to pay man should I get off of this Trey young situation like what no what are you talking about man’s getting like 15 assists a game and yeah he’s shooting horribly but is that is Trey young that is he that bad of a shooter like probably not this is a b for try Trey Young And if you’ve got Trey young you 100% don’t get off him at this point in where he is like you’re not sing low that is an insane idea don’t do it ever uh stream guys it is connect uh whose value will rise here I imagine if LeBron is that just gives more minutes and touches and then DeAndre Hunter very impressed last game from Hunter with those steel numbers um the shootings for him still is the key swing thing I don’t have faith in the peripherals always being there but they were there last game and we see how he continues to roll or rock and or roll we got more games to cover off and we will do that but today’s episode is brought to you by the big fers over at Robin Hood gold with Robin Hood gold you don’t need a silver spoon to eat up the financial favors of the 1% well a silver spoon that doesn’t

is um what is the next game that’s on Deck it is the Bucks the Celtics cool cool cool cool cool cool uh I realized when I’ve created this little schedule part down the bottom I got the Bucks part slightly wrong I’ll tell you that in a sec so just be careful um Milwaukee’s got Friday Sunday this week and then next week they play on Tuesday and I said they’re either Saturday or Sunday that is not 100% true they or actually no you know what it is true they they also may not play on either Saturday or Sunday if they win on Tuesday they play on Saturday if they lose on Tuesday the buck they could play Sunday or they could play Monday the following week so that is that is Up For Debate so if if the Knicks and the Bucks both lose their quarterfinal if the Knicks and the Bucks both lose their quarterfinal then they will play on the Monday the beginning of game week calendar week week n if only what if the Knicks win and the Bucks lose the Bucks play Sunday and if the Bucks win they play on Saturday got it yeah sure uh the Celtics Friday Saturday this is the end of their five game and seven run and that they go Thursday Sunday the week after Mar bamp I’ve got us questionable and we are doing it it is happening we are available to talk about old mate old mate um Chris Middleton because he is set to return tan Prince is also on the list as probable as is yanan Theo and guys your guess is as good as mine regarding what Boston is going to do what I tell you that what I know they’re going to do they are going to sit players down who they sit down I have honestly no idea absolutely none last time on their back toback both Pingus and Horford sat on the same day now both Pingus and Horford are questionable on Friday as is Jason Tatum now Tatum set the game on Wednesday I would be very doubtful that um Tatum uh sorry that Tatum sits here but he could and I just I don’t know with poring haford I don’t know it doesn’t make a lot of sense to play them both together and then sit them both the next game but sneaky J is mixing things up all the time so at this stage I I just don’t know I also had Drew holiday as questionable but Drew is off the injury report he’s missed two games in a row and he is back and ready to go don’t be shocked if you get a last minute Derek white questionable tag or Jaylen brown one remember they’re they’re playing on the Friday Saturday the guys who are definitely going to play are pton Pritchard you are probably going to get Luke cornette and then like even Sam how is not guaranteed to play in both of them Horford Pingas Tatum Brown holiday white no guarantee they play either it’s it’s literally just Pritchard and probably cornette who are the um guarantees to play so what am I watching for well obviously I’m watching to see Chris Middleton return to action and it is going to be slow it is going to be like does he play 20 minutes if he comes out and plays 26 straight up then I’m then I’m wrapped absolutely absolutely fired up but I don’t know that so I want to see if that’s what we get if Middleton’s available and or not not if he is going to be available and someone said man he’s still listed with an injury tag on my fantasy side let let me explain to you very clearly with this he is listed proble there is no chance that someone like Chris Middleton who has been out this long gets a probable tag on if he is not going to play the proble tag is just the ultimate like just in case something goes wrong and he screws his ankle up overnight or whatever it is that is all that is he is available and ready to play and he will play unless something crazy happens so that is what that is right you don’t not you do not rule someone probable after being out for S weeks just because you don’t know they’re going to play he is going to play yep and feel free to clip this when he doesn’t play uh Drew holiday is one I want to watch on the Celtics he’s back he’s ready to go allegedly but is he good because at the moment the answer to that is no he’s not good and he’s not producing fantasy value if I’m in a points League I don’t hold him I don’t worry about that in a category League I I probably would but you know what it’s getting closer to not holding him to be honest in terms of stream guys tan Prince’s value does Dro because Middleton’s going to return but he’s still probably the guy I look at over a Trent and over a green but you can still look at those players if you want uh Bobby poris if he was dropped he tramble also and Luke cornet is likely the Celtic stream but it he also could do nothing because Hingis and hawford could both play here and so could Tatum and then there’s no value in corn and they could go to the pastel danata uh kada they could go to uh old mate Xavier Tilman in that spot as well you might even get 20 odd minutes of Drew Peterson this is a very very messy portion of the schedule for the Celtics and I think we are all sort of well aware of that at this stage so that was a really long discussion on that game I think there’s a lot to talk about there actually though Sacramento and San Antonio probably less to talk about both of these teams are actually playing on Thursday so they’re on a back toback and then Sacramento has Friday Sunday this week just one next week on Thursday whereas San Antonio goes Friday Saturday into Friday Sunday next week um H know that’s all don’t play Friday Saturday that is incorrect uh my bad let me just double check that cuz that is very clearly incorrect uh about the the Spurs cuz they’re playing Thursday so let me double check that just so I can give you the accurate information on San Antonio where are we the Spurs play Friday Sunday my bad the Spurs are Friday Sunday into Friday Sunday yeah Friday Sunday into Friday Sunday so my bad they not Friday Saturday they’ve got a three game in for night little period going here who is out Deon Carter is out Trey ly is out um I don’t think that Devon Vel is going to play he is playing on Thursday so I’ll just put him as doubtful for Friday and then I don’t think Tre Jones with the shoulder sprain is going to play he’s also ruled out Thursday but I’m going to rule him out for Friday or I’m going to put him at least doubtful and then wem’s the big one because wanyama has got a sore back he’s got he had a back issue in the last game they played he is out on Thursday I think it’s probably more precautionary across the back toback so I think he’s probably going to be all right wmy and play here on Friday but I don’t know and obviously if he is out then it’s just more Zack Collins and more Goldfinger Charlie Bassie in terms of stream guys we didn’t see any on Alice in their last game so Kevin herder even getting those bench minutes it’s fine but like I I don’t know about you I don’t like trusting Kevin herder at all just got that shiffy look in his eyes and then on the Spurs Julian champany especially with Devon vasel um not likely to play champany has been very very good this season and I prefer him over Calin Johnson Harrison Barnes and the horse Calin Johnson the next game the Indiana Pacers and the Chicago Bulls all right um what are we watching for here while the Bulls are on a back toback they’re playing Thursday the Pacers go Friday Sunday into Friday Sunday the Bulls go Friday Sunday into Friday next week n Smith’s going to be out Ben Shepard is going to be out but Andrew nard rested the last game for Indiana he will return here Pat Williams is going to be out for Chicago and then I don’t know about Josh giddy Kobe white cuz white is out on Thursday so I’ll put him questionable for Friday giddy is still questionable for Thursday so I’ll just put him questionable for Friday Lonzo ball is out on Thursday but he will be back on Friday on the back to back on the Pacer side of things I want to watch the dildo Johnny fury because last game he was very good he started the second half over Quenton Jackson and I think Jackson’s going to be out of the rot rotation here the difference here is is that nart is going to be returning and nart is playing very low minutes so what do they do with Fury can they put him in to be a sort of full-time rotation piece I know this really mainly applies to the double Onyx Diamond titanium Platinum leagues but I think there is a world in which it’s some point Fury’s knocking on the door of 14 team value but I just want to see how they’re utilizing him here of course we still want to watch the halberton on the road road type scenario in terms of streams with these players out T.J McConnell Still Remains very very good although his assist numbers are down this season there is still good stream value for him and then for the Bulls I dumu is just the quintessential stream that’s what he is you don’t want to hold him on your roster all the way through but when the Bulls have got a little strong stretch of games well theum your bloke he’s the guy that you look at and you use him and you wish you got more and then you never do and that’s okay that is a metaphor for life I guess isn’t it we got uh two more games to talk about then some more streaming options but in the interim today’s episode is brought to you by Fel Sportsbook all the NFL action bang are you going to tackle you’re going to sack it I’m sure you’re not going to do an illegal hit straight to the head but you’re going to be out there with NFL and using America’s number one sports book which happens to be called Fel if you be five bucks well you get $150 in bonus bets if you win that $5 bet so place your $5 bet win your $5 bet get your $150 in bonus bets and then when you open up that banel sports book app you’ll have the bonus bets there and you can look at all of the live game AC action the game’s going on it’s on your big TV maybe you got one of those little TVs like on the office in Michael Scott’s little TV and that’s okay you just have to stand up really close to it but you got on your phone you can hold that up next to it and you can look at all of the information that you need on there you’ve got all of the live stats you got the live play byplay you’ve got the live bets to place while you’re there hanging out with the Fallas talking about live betting the NFL so go to fel.com and get started with 150 bucks in bonus bets if you win your first $5 bets that is fel.com never waste a hunch and make every moment war with Fel an official Sportsbook partner of the NFL and don’t forget to gamble responsibly also don’t forget to never ever tweet at betting companies telling you them to void a bit because someone get hurt like if someone gets hurt like that’s that’s just part of it yeah that’s what happens someone’s getting hurt is just part of the game yep void void um Jazz Blazers is the next game this is the only game that currently according to Fel has a spread available for it the Blazers are fourpoint favorites at home against your Utah jazzmen the Jazz play a Friday Sunday schedule into Friday next week so only one game next week and Portland go Friday Sunday into Friday Sunday so four days off for both of these teams to begin next week I don’t have the updates unfortunately on the Jazz and their players I would have loved to have gotten those um those news pits but I haven’t so Jordy Clarkson Kyle filipowski and Mar Potter are they’ve all missed a bunch of games in a row no look we’re not holding Clarkson or filipowski and God forsaken with’s no chance we’re holding on to Potter but when they do return especially Clarkson and filipowski it’ be very interesting to see how sort of all plays out and for Portland we know kingan’s out we know thel’s out Rob Williams maybe a return from a concussion came in had that opportunity with kinging and eight and out to really put up some good numbers played 11 minutes and got can cast CU of course he did it’s Rob Williams that’s what happens it’s frustrated but if Rob is back I’d be interested in adding him and then we don’t know about old mate Sterling Henderson scoot who has been very disappointing this season and I I wish they would give him more but they’re not and it’s it’s annoying that they’re not actually seeing what he can do it is possible right that scoot’s just bad and he will forever be bad I’m not going to write someone off uh a year and 20 games into their career I like to do that after three years but I they’re just not giving him any faith it’s almost impossible for us to be rostering scoot outside of deeper League stash type scenarios we just got a bunch of um updates on injuries I’m just going to see if any of those mean anything for today not really we just got one about Max stru saying that Kenny aers doesn’t know when he’ll return all right sick um yeah we don’t know when scoots returning here from this quad contusion who are we watching on the Jazz well I just I I just don’t know with this team like what do we do here Colin seon will play 39 minutes and he’ll play 27 minutes then he’ll play 23 minutes then like it’s it is literally all over the shop and I do not know how to trust it in fact I wouldn’t trust single thing on this Jazz team but seon’s got that opportunity with Clarkson out to at least do a little bit more unfortunately he just doesn’t some sometimes he does and some he doesn’t it’s a frustrating scenario for the Blazers to me Den abdia when they are healthy is not a 1210 player because it’s very hard for a player like avdia without the ball in his hands to be a 24-minute bench player and be a 12T guy now you could be sitting there and you believe that he’s awesome I don’t that is a difference of opinion and you’re waiting for Jeremy Grant and Anthony Simons to be traded or shut down and a to take over and that could all very well happen but also remember that scoots not even playing in these games and Abad needs big minutes big usage big ball handling to be a very strong fantasy guy at the moment I don’t think that he is a must he is totally okay to roster but I don’t think he’s a must the Jazz with the uncertainty around filipowski and Clarkson there’s no real good streamers there you can look at Johnny juang if you want you can look at old mate Bry sensible but you’re going to be let down and then much like o dumu Portland’s o dumu tman Kamara continues to be streamable and not a musos to player but again if someone if a team’s got three games in five nights four games in six nights then that player is must roster for those six days because you use him you don’t waste streamers you just put him in those areas and that’s where getting chunky with stuff and looking at the little schedule and breaking it down because again with players like this and I’ll continue to sort of rant SL talk explain about the way that we look at this with variants and streamers is that you’re trying to hit the specific game that someone is good it’s impossible that is why again I’ll say it again sleeper is a trash format you don’t have the extra skill nobody has this to know that this specific game is the good one you don’t you don’t have that skill I assure you you don’t because it is impossible to have that skill cuz you have there is no way of doing it it is Randomness so when we’re talking about streaming guys in and maximizing if you’re taking these high variance upside guys you want to can I get three games in five nights here and maybe we get two good ones and one bad one maybe they’re on a three- game hot streak I don’t know or maybe they add two bad ones and I get a good one at the endend and it’s sort of sell visiones cuz if you add someone they have a bad game and then you drop them and then the next game they have a good one and then you go and add them again they have a bad one that’s just how this stuff works got to sort of try and take totality in and I think that’s something that I need to do a better job of and I think this as a general idea through fantasy we need to be better at Maybe I’m Wrong maybe people just do that and I’m I’m the only one who doesn’t or doesn’t talk about it I don’t know anyway toan Kar he’s one of those guys should we do the last game yeah probably good idea that is the Wolves and the Warriors The Warriors are on a backto back here they’re playing on Thursday I just realized I’ve got Colin seon’s name there which I shouldn’t cuz he does not play for Minnesota uh Minnesota plays Friday Sunday into Friday Sunday golden state is Friday Sunday into Wednesday with a quarterfinal game and then they’re either Saturday or Sunday Saturday if they win Sunday if they lose I don’t expect Joe Engles to play he’s dealing with a c issue and he’s old as so yeah he won’t be there and Rob Dillingham I think is probably closer to Pro but that doesn’t mean that he even plays a single second so it doesn’t really matter at all Steph and Draymond green out on Thursday I Steph is dealing with a knee issue that feels like it’s going to be a longer term ongoing in andout scenario not to say that he’s going to miss multiple games but I think he’s going to you be Trey young and Anthony Davis on the injury report a lot here I believe that he’s sitting Thursday because it is a back-to-back so I think Steph will play on Friday Draymond I’m not so sure about I think he’s probably closer to doubtful Draymond missed two games in a row with the calf now and it’s a cal issue we had that back problem with his Cal last season well all sort of connected through that cost him a bunch time I wouldn’t be shocked if Draymond misses again and that means we are valuing more of John kaminga more of Trace Jackson Davis and more of cavon Looney Andy Wiggins is questionable for the game on Thursday so I’ll put him questionable for Friday what am I watching for on the Wolves realistically I want to see Anthony Edwards because I know we know that he’s up the top of fantasy ranks but again he has not lived up at all to taking him inside the top 10 or in the first round he’s sort of shot mix has changed a lot he’s taking a lot of Threes And they’re going in I don’t know know that they continue to go into that level but he continues to be someone where you look at his numbers and you go well yeah he should be better but like he’s not and I know that feels like I’m judging him on a high standard because if you’re going to get crowned as the face of the NBA or the Michael Jordan or whatever nonsense people want to put out there then you are going to get judged that way and if people are going to pick you inside the top eight of fantasy drafts and people should judge you according to that and he hasn’t lived up to that number and I just want to see if we get any sort of game style change or anything sort of starts to flash with him that improves that number again incredibly good player incredibly fun player but that’s not what we’re talking about here the warriors on the back toback like I said and then old mate Dawson jadden McDaniels continues to be the streamer much like a Taman Kamara much like a Pat Williams before him much like o dumu these are guys that’re always going to appear streamable but you never want to hold long term and I get it and then the Warriors one is probably cavon Looney like if psky and kaminga are available we go with them if it’ be very interesting to see what the Warriors do here actually and if Steph misses again like old mate Pat Spencer be someone that’s going to have to play and then Looney Jackson Davis all these guys have value in Golden state if Draymond does remain on the uh on the outs by on the outs I just mean injured of course why wouldn’t that’s that what that phrase definitely doesn’t mean but that’s what I tried to make it mean let’s talk about some schedule plays um the only team with a Friday Saturday back toback is Boston that’s the only team has got that and then if we do chunks which is where I look for which teams play three games in five nights not including the 12 game Sunday Nobody Does it so we’re not going to get Chunky here what we are going to look at is the five and twos and there is nobody in the next seven days who plays five games but what there is is there are two teams in the next seven days that play one game there are about I think it’s about 15 teams that play two games so it didn’t list all of them it’s either three or two that most teams play over the next seven days again a very quiet portion of the schedule but the Nets and the Clippers have won so if you’re trying to figure out hey do I try Keon Johnson or Jaylen or tyres Martin not Jaylen Martin he’s hurt uh or Jaylen Wilson or do I have a crack at drron sharp or trenden Watford um no you don’t because there’s one game in seven nights and the Clippers what am I going to do with Terence man out do I try a m coffee do I take a look at Kevin Porter Jr do I look at Jordan Miller in deep leagues and the answer is probably no it’s one game in seven nights it’s not really useful at all and again not that everyone’s playing a million games but if someone’s got three that’s triple yeah triple your teners in that time if anyone understands the triple your tenners joke please please leave a comment there is no maybe one I this’s one person this guy I know he’s on YouTube and his username is like Colin Robinson which is funny in itself but if you get if you get the triple tenners joke please please leave a com I want to know there’s someone out there who at least was on my uh wavelength anyway three to one is triple obviously and you the one game of maybe Jordan Miller hits is just not worth it it’s just not going to be worth it let’s talk streaming Who are the the streams of the day on Friday be a really good question let’s um let’s look at it now the t teer is Timothy John yep even though nad’s back McConnell’s just doing enough and I hope the assist numbers come up but I don’t know and you’ll see the 12 team streamers John Isaac and the 14 Team Stream is Lonzo ball and you’ll notice with all of those players they do not score it is not easy to find high volume scoring on the waiver whites in fact it’s almost impossible but McConnell might get you six assists and two Steals and Isaac might get you three Steals and three blocks and Lonzo might get you five rebounds five assists two Steals and a block and all that stuff matters it’s all useful and it’s just not exciting with bulk scoring my 16 teamer is just a different one again it’s cavon Loney like he might have four points but he might get 12 rebounds he might get a two Steals and shoot 60% it’s all just these little things and all these guys project well and they slide a little under the radar for points leagues both yaho and ESPN I do think goab bad is probably the best available player who 60 plus% avail able and that would be the direction I would go let’s just go through a 10 team category league list here these are all 65% rostered using basketball monsters Advance metric what is basketball monster Advan metric it’s a thing that we use when we look at all of our members we look at all the leagues they’re in look at the people who are in 12 team leagues and then we scan through their leagues and their rosters and we try and figure out like what guys are rostered in these leagues because we assume if somebody’s in that league and they’re using Bas mon so there’s a level of um attention that’s being apply applied by at least some people in the league so you will see that sometimes someone’s rosted 20% on Yahoo and they’re 70% on basketball monster many okay so there’s a lot of these Yahoo leagues that are dead but people in the leagues with more attention being paid um you know are focusing on this guy so if someone sits at 65% rostered on basketball monsters Advanced number I think that that’s a reasonable guess that they can be available in t so that’s the number that I use and I use 45% for 12 I use 20% for 14 teams and I use 10% for 16s anyway so I think Connell John Isaac Gerson Yas and Lonzo ball look really solid for 10 team streaming I’ve even got cavon Looney in there and Taman Kamar and that should give you an indication of how some of this stuff can drop off but also the fact that those guys do things in some of the categories that maybe get some lesser attention for 12 team leagues yeah I am going to do it we’re going to look at the pencil Harrison Barnes barnesy get that gabbage out of here I did it again now we’re okay to stream Bary in on a day like this even though like you might get absolutely nothing there jarus Walker speaking of trash you might get some Steals and blocks but he has been downright Dreadful uh Obie toppen yeah like points with high field goal percentage and some rebounds don’t expect more and you won’t get disappointed Kevin hder jayen Smith all made sticks because this is the game I I expected V is going to get benched in this game uh they’re going to finally realize that he’s trash and that Jaylen Smith’s going to start so I’m predicting that for this game I’m not but I’m yeah Jaylen Smith if he gets 14 minutes he can have seven points five rebounds a steel two blocks or no three and two blocks which again on a day like this when the options are pretty limited Smith has that value and then there is the artist formerly known as tan Prince as a stream guy for deeper leagues these guys are all going to be available in most of these formats you’ve got nil Alexander Walker you’ve got Mr of black who could give you two one and one or could give you 1075 2 and two he’s very inconsistent he’s minut inconsistent too Andy nard the reason that he’s down in the Deep League section is he probably only plays 20 minutes and even then he’s not a great great per minute guy Caleb Martin you would notice for Philadelphia has been usurped by KJ Martin no not his brother and KJ is starting and kaleb’s playing 22 Off the Bench so his value is way down Kyle Anderson’s getting some minutes especially if Draymond is out and if Steph is out then we maybe maybe we get a little bit more of Modi muzi if we go now to Yahoo points I use a 40% rostered percentage on Yahoo for These Guys these are all over 60 % available um we go to goo badad Gerson yabas Wendel cardu Jr De Ray Hunter cavon Looney and the pencil Harrison Barnes maybe we’ll do it right this time bansi four ESPN points to round us out here it’s goer it’s TJ McConnell it’s gersan yasel wend alard JR DeAndre Hunter and cavon Looney and that ladies and gentlemen or you know 2% ladies 98% gentlemen is the end of today’s show so you can go and hit the thumb up and subscribe and let’s try to get to that 90k Mark let’s also try and uh leave comments and Al also
