on.com and we’re of course over here double banging watching the video and listening to the audio side of things giving the thumbs and the comments and all of that stuff that uh does help immensely let’s talk about Friday um no NBA cup action going on on that day of course cuz we’ve only got a couple of those games left Friday eight games on and I I will just again provide this reminder and I’m going to do this I should have done it on the mailbag show today but I’ll do it right now again there are no extra games to be scheduled the schedule that you see is the schedule that exists it is what is happening the games on Saturday the semi-final games they count for Fantasy yes it’s it counts on ESPN it counts on Yahoo it all counts no the game on Tuesday the final does not count that is not happening there is no extra games being added to the schedule it is done nothing else is being added the schedule is set thank you um eight games on uh on Friday let’s just talk about those ones there and look at there how these teams shape up we don’t have a bunch of injury updates unfortunately on a lot of these teams I would have hoped that by this time I would have gotten some more also just a quick little scheduling note also um over the weekend I have to travel into state for uh for a wedding so I don’t exactly know how it’s going to look you will still get a um a Saturday preview show which for those two NBA Cup games there will be a week a calendar week n preview show I’m just not certain of how or when I’m going to get out a streaming show for Sunday that’s the thing I’m not certain about how if or when that’ll come so just be aware of that um let’s take a look first game Pacers and the 76ers is that first game that is up for us in terms of the schedule for both of these teams Indiana does have two more games left this week they play Friday Sunday remember there were no back-to-backs Friday Saturday because the Saturday is the NBA cup semi-finals in Vegas uh Philadelphia one and only game this week is this one on Friday next week Indiana plays Thursday and Sunday because there are no games Tuesday Wednesday remember that and Philadelphia’s actually got three games next week Monday Friday and Saturday Aron Smith’s going to be out Benny Shepard is going to be out for Indiana Caleb Martin’s been sort of dealing with stuff um on and off for the for the Sixers he’s currently questionable well I’m listing him questionable there he did I believe participate in no he didn’t practice there you go uh neither him nor ADM boner practice so that seems like they’re probably closer to the doubtful side of things what we want to watch in this game there are two stars that are underperforming Tyrus halberton and Paul George so Hal Burton’s big thing to me at the moment is the assist numbers they seem to be down and I don’t really know what is happening with that his shooting numbers fluctuate a lot and I do believe there’s still going to be improvements there but over the over the course of the last 2 three weeks he’s been actually okay with Paul George there’s obviously some usage things we need to see how it all still slides in with him and Maxi MB together and some of the shooting stuff for him also they the really the key things that I’m watching on those two players in terms of stream guys Andrew nart is starting he played 31 minutes last game um that’s enough to be streamable I don’t think that he’s a guy when necessarily considering a muser guy but how the interplay goes with him and with Maan and with TJ McConnell and then eventually with n Smith he going to be really intriguing to see where that value sits for the Sixers K UB is or has been starting ahead of Jared McCain I think he will continue to do that and last game he played like a million minutes if he’s getting 37 minutes a night and he is bringing some to steals which he is currently with some rebounding that makes him at least interesting to me UB as a stream guy I’m not super involved in I’m not super excited about what UB brings um cuz he’s probably not going to get very much usage in that grouping but he’s bringing some other things to the table which is not usually a cell UB trait the second game is the Washington Wizards and the Cleveland Cavaliers um schedule-wise Washington is Friday Sunday Cleveland has their one and only game on Friday and then Washington plays Thursday Saturday next week while Cleveland goes Monday Friday Saturday there are a bunch of players that we just don’t know the injury status is for a lot of them Evan Moy left the last game early for the Cavs with an ankle sprain I would say I don’t even know I went let’s talk Wizards first because I went out of order there I I expected Brogden is out with a hamstring injury but that hasn’t been confirmed and then there’s kosma s George kissper Baldwin and holes who all missed the last game two of those Baldwin and Holmes don’t really matter but kma SAR George and kisper do kman is dealing with a rib issue s had a back problem and then George and but dealing with ankle problems I would think that at least three of those players all play which means the value of someone who’s been streamed in a lot Justin champany is going to be dropped down quite a bit but we don’t have the updates on those guys but yeah brogen kzar George kissper that’s five rotation players and I think you might get three of those guys back maybe four of them back for this game for Cleveland uh like I said Evan moble sprained his ankle I think he’s he is questionable for this game but he didn’t practice so you would have to say he’s on the side doubtful meaning if you wanted to stream in like a George Nang this is your one opportunity to do that Max stru could also be returning and making his season debut I’m not particularly enamored with stru as a 12 team must grab guy but in terms of streaming in on a day like this sure I expect he’ll be relatively Limited in terms of his minutes and he’s not and having if Moy isn’t there does help get through a couple more shots so if you wanted to try him that’s okay but to me he’s more of a 14 and deeper sort of a Target long term Isaac aoro missed the last game left the last game early with a knee issue but he was able to practice so he should be okay and ready to go and then Craig Porter Jr he’s not going to be in the rotation anyway so what are we watching on the Wizards the last two games we got huge minutes out of uh the prco legend Lam Brusco Justin champany he’s a two-way player who got a ton of minutes and played really well but like I said kma s George kissper all those guys play the three or the four and the position the champan plays is the three and the four so it’s very unlikely to me that champan plays 30 minutes again but we want to watch it what if they decide they’re going to use him I don’t see how that would happen but let’s see what goes on there and for the Cavs I do want to see what stru looks like I want to see how Kenny ainson uses him I want to see how Kenny ainson uses the minutes and how cautious they are with him cuz he was a surprising player last season he started out really red hot and then cool off to be more like Max stru but I do think it’s going to be probably even tougher for him this season to provide fantasy value for standard formats bil Kul has been dropped in a lot of understandably so but I thought last game was really encouraging for him now it did help that there were players out and what we’ve seen with Bill ales when the shot doesn’t go in he just stops taking him we need to get those other numbers like the assists and Steals and blocks coming more regularly but Bal is at least streamable here and you can hold him if you want but to me I don’t think it matters a huge amount either way and then Caris LeVert is probably the Cav streamer but stru and aoro both playing would definitely have an impact at least on the ceiling level of where Levert could get to I think that one is um you know I feel relatively confident about that today’s episode is brought to you by the big fowers over at Robin Hood Robin Hood gold

investing involves risk rate may change gold membership is offered by Robin Hood gold LLC okay that should uh that should bring us back into the next game now that’s two down six to go Hornets Bulls is the next one in Chicago they are they’re hosting the old Charlotte Hornets both of these teams only have one game this week and it is this game on Friday and then next week they both play three games Charlotte is Monday Thursday Friday and Chicago is Monday Thursday Saturday I’m going to guess that lamelo ball is out of this game he is starting to do some practice work so I think that his return could come as early as Monday and I would say almost definitely lamelo plays in one of those Thursday Friday games next week Trey man I’m expecting to be out all the way through that to be fair and then there’s tan tan Salan and Miles Bridges Salan with an ankle and bridges with a knee I think there is significant I think Salan plays and I think the bridges has a fairly good shot of being available and ready to play in this game mad bate missed with some uh I think was an illness I don’t really remember exactly but he is I’m going to put him as questionable although if Bridges is playing and Salan is playing there’s not very much for Di to do because Mark Williams is going to return now Williams has been playing 11 minutes in the last couple of games he sat the last one duude to a back to back and they did say they’re going to bump his minutes up so your 14 to 15 minutes I think is fine as an expectation but that means you’re going to have him you’re going to have Richard you’re going to have Bridges and you have Salan which means that de is not really going to do very much for Chicago Josh gidy is dealing with a back problem he didn’t practice but they actually think he’s going to play so you pass that however you want I don’t really know how to what to make of that but giddy will put him as questionable for now Pat Williams is also looking like he is going to return I don’t think that Williams steps into a 29 minute roll or anything like that in fact they might still bring him off the bench for at least a game or so behind um I dumu but they are incredibly small dumu is playing the three and Zack lv’s playing the four so I think that yeah you could get Williams back in there immediately I don’t want to use him because he’s not very good but he’s going to return that’s going to have an issue of you of cutting the grass of what IID assum who’s been doing uh D and Terry also left the last game with a knee injury but he’s really not going to be a factor at all what are we watching for well it is really about watching Mark Williams and how many minutes they push him to and how good he looks in those minutes cuz the last time we saw him he looked pretty good in those 11 minutes so we’re watching that and continuing to see how that goes I also want to see Zack LaVine on the Bulls because he went through a weird sort of down patch in usage and then the last few games it is ramped all the way back up so what is the the Zack LaVine and the Billy Donovan plan for how much involvement he has what does that mean for white what does it mean for dumu what does it mean for V whose minut and usage have been down significantly the last two games with lavine’s usage Rising V has been very very low on shot attempts and that’s like a balance we need to watch how it goes in terms of streams my expectation is that lamelo ball is out so that expectation means that V mits is the guy that we stream in now that’s going to end really soon because lamelo is going to be back very soon and that means mits goes back to being just a deeper League player who takes the backup roll while Trey man is out and then Lonzo bll is probably a bull streamer you could look at Pat Williams there if dumu is available he’s ahead of both of those guys but Lonzo in his 20 minutes or so yeah there’s always a risk of doing nothing but he can have here four assists two steals one block four rebounds in a 19 to 20 minutes which I think is is probably realistic for him Lakers and the Wolves is the next game the battle of the Minneapolis is sort of um we’re in Minnesota for this game both of these teams are a Friday Sunday team and then both of them play Thursday Saturday next week Jackson Hayes Christian Wood Jared Vander buil are all out for the Lakers but I didn’t think that this would be the case and LeBron sat the last game and I thought okay they’re just giving him the extra time to rest and now he’s doubtful so I’m guessing the foot injury is actually a problem well there’s some there’s something happening right we already heard that he got excused for a personal reason during the week and now he’s doubtful again after missing the last game so that’s not great what that means is D’Angelo Russell um Dalton connect ruy hamura all those guys get a bump because they handle the ball more they play more minutes and they get more shots with LeBron not there Austin Reeves is the big question mark Cuz if Reeves is available it does cut into what D’Angelo Russell does but I just don’t know about Reeves yet for the Wolves the only two injury guys there Rob Dillingham and Joe Les who are just not rotation players anyway DLo is the one to watch because he had obviously been you pushed out of the starting lineup started to creep back up pushed down again where they started Gabe Vincent over him but now with LeBron abson and maybe Reeves that can help DLo push the numbers up I still don’t know that he’s going to be able to hold through any of this 12 team value because of the way they consistently find an excuse to deprioritize D’angelo but for now with the absence of LeBron likely absence and maybe an absence of Reeves DLo back uh on the menu boys for the Wolves Nas Reed is uh I would say been very disappointing from a fantasy perspective for some of you depends on the always going to depend on expectation isn’t it as to how you view what Reed um is doing but like how the minutes go with him and Rand and do they keep him to 22 do he pushed to 27 that’s the sort of stuff we’re always watching there in terms of stream guys Haim mura and connect are the pretty obvious ones there for the Lakers unless DLo is available then he prioritizes over them and then Jaden McDaniels has feel like just going to be perennially on this list as a stream guy in Minnesota the Brooklyn Nets and the Memphis Grizzlies that is the next game that we uh take a look at um Brooklyn plays Friday and then they go Monday Thursday Saturday next week Memphis is Friday Sunday into Thursday Saturday next week bu bogdanovic remains out I don’t know if this man ever plays there’s just nothing being said whatsoever about him I don’t think that cam Thomas is playing I know that Z will cam Thomas actually been ruled out Z Williams is out gig Jackson Vince Williams and Zack Edy are all out from the Memphis side of things and then the last time we saw Memphis there was no jar there was no Bane and there was no Luke Canard I am very very confident that those three players are going to be available here so I’m putting them with a probable tag at the moment what am I watching for the last time we saw the Nets Nikki Clon played like 32 minutes and Simmons was at like 19 is that what they going to do they they dmped Noah Clowny as well and we saw like 13 minutes or 14 minutes whatever it was out of Dron sharp are we 30 minutes of Clon now is that what we’re doing we watch it for the Grizzlies Marcus Smart even in 25 minutes is a 12 team League guy at the moment but that can change like that right if he starts to play 22 or you know some of the involvement levels that he’s had drops then he’s not that guy so we need to keep an eye on it I think Ben Simmons probably is the stream on on the net like I don’t feel good about streaming Keon Johnson or Shake Milton or um uh or Darin Smith maybe you could look out there yeah there just a lot of Jaylen Wilson’s there’s a lot of guys that can have value but it’s very very tough to rely upon them Simmons in 24 minutes would definitely be the guy but that’s not what they’ve been doing so we’re watching Simmons’s minutes but he’s at least on the on the in the mix there and then I think Brandon Clark’s a really good stream you could look at Jay Huff for Memphis as well but Clark’s getting 23 249 it’s probably enough I feel better about the consistency of what Clark does versus is half who might play 19 might play 13 might hit 33s might hit zero and that consistency of what Clark does I I feel more secure in uh in streaming that sort of a production or that sort of a player in the LA Clippers they go to take on the Denver Nuggets it is the uh DeAndre Jordan Russell Westbrook Revenge games the cers play Friday as do the Nuggets and then next week it is Monday Thursday Saturday for the Clippers and then for the Nuggets it is Monday Thursday Sunday kawai’s out Terence man is out Derrik Jones is out with a hamstring for couple of weeks by the way which they called you know saus he’s out for a couple of weeks with a really sore hamstring Kobe Brown’s going to be out Amir coffee was a late scratch the last time the Clippers played Hur his shoulder in warm-ups I think he’s probably going to be available but I’ll put him as questionable for now and then Mo bumber also set that game for knee injury management even though it wasn’t a back-to-back although I do just think it was trying to get him a few extra days off with the break coming up so I think that he’ll be available James Harden also sat that game but he’s going to play blacko chancha out for Denver the big question though is going to be what the hell happens with Jamaal Murray cuz they’re listing him with something called hamstring inflammation whatever the hell that is and if um yeah if he doesn’t play then that does really boost Russell Westbrook and we’ve seen a few times that Murray has been out this season that when he comes back he just go straight in and plays 35 minutes so that is very clearly something to watch Dario shich has also been hurt but he literally might not play a single second even if healthy in terms of stream guys with the absence of man and the absence of Dereck J I want to see how they use Kevin Porter Jr cuz he played big minutes in place of Harden last game but does he go back to just being that backup point guard do they playing with the two or even the three because 26 of Porter is useful for especially points leagues but some category builds as well and we need to see where that role fits in terms of the Nugget side of things well Westbrook has been doing enough if he is a starter to consider streaming especially for points leagues but does he go back and play 17 if Murray’s there and then is that enough obviously it’s not but how do they use him here is going to be intriguing I think Chris Dunn is still probably the Clipper stream but there is going to be a numerous numerous options there it could be Amir coffee it could be niik Batum replacing drick Jones Jr it could be Kevin Porter deeper leagues your old Double onx Diamond Platinum titanium leagues we want to take a look at someone like a Jordan Miller because there is no Terence man now there is no Derek Jones there is no Kawhi there might be no M coffee so you might actually get 28 minutes of Jordan Miller Off the Bench and he’s been playing a really key like almost a sixthman role in recent times for the Clippers in terms of the Nuggets streaming well Westbrook would be the guy if he is available but the other guy they’ve been giving minutes to is Julian sta don’t don’t look go and look at Julian st’s defensive impact on EPM by the way I think he’s rated as like the worst player in the entire NBA defensively and he’s not good very clearly but he’s been getting a few more minutes recently but I would say that some of that defensive issue is why he hasn’t really had that level of breakout that I think that a lot of us me included thought was possible for this season we got two more games that we’re going to come back and preview them we’re going look at more streams of the day and some schedule uh stuff coming up but today’s episode it is of course brought to you by the big FAS the Legends over at Fel Sportsbook which is America’s number one sports book of course now now now that’s not a word Fel didn’t tell me to say the word now like that but they what they told me to tell you is if that you as a new

then you have a look and you go that maybe you there’s some Merit to the nonsense that you spew and that’s okay and then you fight then you you pillows punches whatever it is you go on you place your

the NFL and don’t forget to gamble responsibly all right um let’s get through to the final two games of the day and one of those games is the Phoenix Suns and the Utah Jasmine I it does seem like we are going to be getting some um return turns here for Phoenix in terms of schedule though Phoenix is a Friday Sunday team uh and then Thursday Saturday the week after utar is a Friday only and then into Monday Thursday Saturday it seems like nurkic and Durant are going to be available to return for Phoenix which changes a lot of stuff also Grayson Allen is officially is questionable and Ryan Dunn is questionable so there’s a lot happening there Utah I we know Taylor Hendrick is out but Jordan Clarkson still just don’t know the man on the street j o r d a n c l a r k s n has been out for like weeks with this planta fascia issue there’s literally no update it’s just like okay he’s out okay he’s out okay cool no update whatsoever so I don’t know whether claro is going to play I would think that you I feel more confident about him playing in this one but I I just don’t know and then even when he’s out it could be klier it could be juang it could be Mah luk it could be 38 minutes of Colin SE it could be 22 I just never know because will hardy changes his mind every single moment in terms of what we’re watching for on the Suns while Grayson with Durant out and with nurkic out he’s playing like 30 31 minutes a night and being very useful for Fantasy but if Durant plays and that is the expectation is Allen a 24-minute guy because that’s not good enough that’s not useful enough for us for the Jazz kont George has been better much better he’s like a top 100 player over the last two or 3 weeks the shooting’s up he’s still getting good usage and good minutes and solid assists and some of the shots are falling is that a mirage has something been figured out I don’t know and I don’t believe that it has necessarily but that’s what we’re watching for in terms of streams Royce O’Neal still is the stream guy but if Durant returns that value does drop pretty significantly and then for Utah man like who knows Bryce sensore like Jordan Clarkson would be the stream if we know that he’s available but otherwise it’s sensore or it’s bloody filipowski or it’s um ker or juang or someone and you just don’t feel any level of confidence in any of those guys in that sort of a spot the final game of the day is the San Antonio Spurs and the Portland tribal aers you guys can fact check me this I feel like they’ve played 35 times already this season why do I feel like every game they play against each other maybe that’s wrong I don’t know I know the Spurs and Jazz play each other like three times in the first week of the year not quite but close enough but these guys feel like they play all the time the LaMarcus Aldridge ball just is always in our faces the Spurs go Friday Sunday and then Thursday Saturday and the Blazers do exactly the same thing Friday Sunday into Thursday Saturday Calin Johnson hasn’t officially been ruled out but he left the last game with a c strain and I’m going to assume that a c strain doesn’t fix in four days so I I’ll say that he’s out Tre Jones is definitely out Zack Collins hurt his back and left that game early in the last one as well so I’ll put him as questionable for now Steph Castle Hur his shoulder he was able to return he says he’s fine and good to go so I’ll just put a preemptive probable tag on Castle there thel’s going to be out for Portland but now the big thing is that the centers are all back Donovan Clingan MCL sprain looks like he’s ready to go rob Williams chy bips has got one test to pass and looks like he’s going to pass it and he’s practicing so they’re both going to be back at the same time so now we get the gigantic question of what the hell happens because the last time we saw all those guys available like Aton was played in like 23 minutes and then Williams would play like 18 and kingan would play 12 I actually don’t expect kingan to play anywhere close to 20 minutes in this game I think you 15 to 13 is realistic but is Rob Williams in 16 minutes good enough probably not what the hell happens to Aon here that is honestly out of all of Friday watching what happens with DeAndre Aton and watching how these centers interact is one of the big things to pay pention to I think D wath also questionable he’s not going to play um for the Spurs I want to see what is happening with Jeremy soan because he’s played like 21 or 22 minutes in three of the four games since he returned and the game that he didn’t was the game that he started at Center so they are currently still bringing Devon vasel and Jeremy soan Off the Bench and playing them fewer minutes than Julian champany Harrison Barnes and Steph Castle which seems crazy it seems crazy but that’s what’s been happening and if soan is going to be a 21-minute an ey player which again considering how good he has been seems crazy then he’s not going to be roster for now he is but we need to watch it on the Blazers this man’s been terrible Anthony Simons and honestly given his production he is not a rable player but don’t take those words out of context if you just use his current production you would say why would I bother that’s not the point of this I think he’s going to be better than that but what if he’s not what if he’s just terrible that’s possible so for now he is a hold just Julian champany Remains the streamer on the Spurs because he is available in a lot of spots there’s just so much uncertainty hanging over where that role goes but for now we’re streaming him in and then tamman Kamara is the guy in Portland now Shaden sharp has been dropped in spots honestly rightfully so because as a category League guy he’s not very good and now we still have these other players the center’s coming back and scoot’s there and Simons is there and Grant’s there and Denny’s there and he doesn’t do anything really Shaden so I actually don’t mind that he’s been dropped but if he was dropped you would consider at least a streaming option in this particular setting there’s nothing really chunky going on because we still got the two days coming up with zero games on Tuesday and Wednesday and I tried to expand it out to have a look at the next five actual NBA game days but the problem with that is is the day after we come back from the day off on Wednesday next Thursday it’s a 13 game day so you can’t stream on that day anyway so there’s no one who’s really got this big chunky section going on in terms of you know three games in five game nights but what I will look at is is there someone with a really terrible schedule and over the next seven days both the Bucks and the Heat play one game now Milwaukee plays that one game on Saturday as part of the NBA cup but Miami doesn’t play like when when’s M actually when is Miami’s next game Let’s double check that um because they are I think they play well they play today don’t they yeah they play today and then after that where are they the old Miami Heat as I just Tred bring up my schedule which I probably should have had pre pre-prepared earlier the Miami Heat play a game yeah their next one after that is Monday and that’s it so they don’t play Thursday they play Monday they don’t play Friday Saturday Sunday so if you’re considering like a hom Huck or a uh Drew Smith or a Duncan Robinson or a Terry Ria or Gary Trent or anything like that like there’s one game for the bucks and one game for the heat in the next seven days and there is about 14 teams that play three games over that time frame so obviously that is a iable difference and it’s important let’s go through now some stream of the day options for Friday’s games across the NBA the stream of the day for 10 I am calu just falls under my little cut off there is at 64% rosted I use a 65% marker there for 12 teams I’m going to go with Andy nard 14 teams will go with um tamman Kamara in that spot and then for deeper 16 plus diamond onyxes we go with Brandon Clark for Yahoo points I’m going with 40% roster on under Steph castle and then for ESPN points it’s his Spurs teammate Julian champan if you just go into this a little bit deeper now some 10 team options all of these are 65% rosted or below on basketball monster Kelly UB Andrew nard tamman Kamar Brandon Clark Marcus Smart and Jaden McDaniels for 12 teamers we’re going to go with obadah toppen um Lonzo B jakaris Levert Carlton Carrington Chris Dunn and Benjamin Simmons and then for deeper leagues I’ll go to Jay Huff of the Memphis Grizzlies we go to jarus Walker Doran finny Smith Nicholas Batum Nicola Batum Cody Martin in Charlotte and old sticks himself jayen Smith in Chicago if we are looking at points leagues and we are for Yahoo points leagues your top option there is Steph Castle it’s Julian champan it’s vasilia MIT it’s Kelly UB Bilal k and Andrew nard and lastly we’ll go to ESPN points leagues and take a look at the top options over there it is champan MIT Castle NAD UB and Bilal Kula B and that is a preview for Friday back to some normality with an eight game day across the NBA so if you want to get your normality back just double bang and thumb and subscribe and actually hit the Bell as well if you want to Dingle that little bell it’s Christmas time what else
