actually week nine it’s week 10 of the NBA season and that might be fantasy matchup week n for you it is if you’re in the lock on Fantasy Basketball Bowl on fan tracks it is if you play on Yahoo but it might not be if you’re playing on CBS or you’re playing on ESPN so it is week 10 of the NBA season December the 23rd through to December the 29th is what we are talking about here so let’s get in let’s chat about it let’s look at the week of Christmas um and we’ll start where we always start these shows just by taking a look at how the schedule plays out on a um on a day-to-day basis we start the week with a incredibly busy day we’ve got um 14 games on Monday that is obviously way too many I know it is important that the NBA has Christmas Eve off I I understand that and that is 100% what they should do but 14 games on a day it’s just gigantically detrimental to the product I I don’t get it I don’t understand why you would do that 14 games on Monday zero on Tuesday and then Christmas Day we have got five games we have got uh then Thursday with nine Friday with eight Saturday with nine and Sunday with six so that’s how the uh that’s how the schedule is playing out for the week what does it look like in terms of games played well I’ve got the answer to that as well we have got uh 16 teams that play four games for the week so that is barely but it is the majority of teams playing 16 games Atlanta Boston Brooklyn Dallas Denver Golden State Houston Indiana Memphis Miami Minnesota New York Oklahoma City Orlando Phoenix and San Antonio all have four games this week which is important because it’s only six game days there are only six game days but over half the teams are playing four games we’ve got 10 teams to play three games Charlotte Chicago Detroit the Lakers Milwaukee Philadelphia Portland Toronto Utah and Washington and then we have got a group of four teams that play two games for the week Cleveland the Clippers New Orleans and Sack rento they play two games for the week which of course is going to be important for you to uh you to understand and know that there are going to be teams and that is a big difference right we’re in a you got a four game week versus a two game week it’s depends on which direction you’re looking it’s 100% or it’s 50% 100% more 50% less and yes that is how those percentages work so you that is a a sizable difference when you’re streaming a Cleveland player or or a Clippers guy or a Kings player um versus any one of those four game players it is a a difference that is basically not recoverable from in terms of a uh a value perspective let’s take a look at the quality game uh set up for the week we’ll talk about streaming through that as well streaming of course is and I I know there are going to be people and I don’t want anyone saying it I don’t want anyone calling them tacos because you know we got the taco hat here you’re not a taco if you don’t know what streaming is what does streaming mean streaming just means using one or more of your roster spots and using it as not a permanent full season hold it’s like we use that to add someone for one day or two days or a little period of time and then we move on from that player just to be able to turn one roster spot into more games simple as that and your league settings will always dictate how able you are to do that whether you’ve got unlimited moves four moves for the week seven moves for the week games Cap all that sort of stuff but that is literally what streaming is it is using one roster spot to just get extra games in and just using it as a churning spot add a guy drop a guy add a guy drop a guy through one roster spot get more games into that that position so let’s talk about the quality games for the week every day this week is a quality game day except Monday well of course Tuesday as well because no games are on but that’s okay too so you when we talk about the the quality game um proposition for the week it’s it is interesting because every one of the 16 teams that plays four games all of those teams have three quality games meaning that out of their four games right they all play on Monday with 4 14 games on all of the three game teams all 10 of them they all play on Monday as well so that means they’ve all got two quality games where you get the difference is in the two game teams the Cavs and the Clippers only have one quality game they play on Monday and then one more game for the week the Pelicans and the Kings well they’re not a real two game te uh week team in terms of daily strategy because both both of their games are on lower volume days so again we can do basic analysis of stuff and talk two games versus four games but streaming considering to stream a Kings player or a Pelicans player you’ll use them twice and you will use the players from that 10 10 game or to 10 team um cohort love that word 10 team cohort that play three games cuz all of those are streamable twice as well now finding the right times to stream them is a different story but while the Pelicans look on the surface especially the picans look like they got a terrible schedule two games only they don’t and they got to feature heavily in what we do this week so understanding that difference like the Cavs and the cers yeah you might use them once yeah Max stru I’ll use him as an example because he’s coming back and people are asking the questions about him he they’ll play on one low volume day the Cavs streu is not good enough to crack a lineup on a 14 game day so you’d use him once for the entirety of the week whereas a Kings player let’s say Keon Ellis Kevin hder um BJ Boston probably worse all worse players than maxu but you’d use them twice it is a it’s a huge difference obviously I would hope that’s obvious anyway um so let’s talk about the stream Zone this stream Zone you don’t need um any sort of waterproof uh protective gear cuz we’re just talking about getting players in for fantasy and this is how I think we can really maximize stuff you’re going to hear the Denver Nuggets brought up a lot in this in the the bulk portion of this week 10 preview show and when we do the show later on where we’re talking about streaming players in on Sunday to win your week nine matchup the Nuggets will be a part of that because they play on Sunday so when you’re considering someone if you want to maximize what you do for the week if you want to maximize what you do for the week you can add a Nuggets player on Sunday you start with a Nuggets player on Sunday who that is Russell Westbrook Christian Brown Julian Strather um Payton Watson they’re probably your options right you stream that player in on Monday There’s 14 games on so it doesn’t really matter what happens you’re not going to use that streaming guy anyway Tuesday there is zero games on and then Wednesday Christmas day we’ve got five games on so you that does become more interesting in that position but you got the Nuggets players playing and then you can drop the Fringe nuggets guy and then switch to someone who’s got a Thursday Friday back toback which includes Brooklyn Houston Indiana Memphis the Pelicans two game team the Pelicans and the magic and then after you’ve got you’ve rung out what you can from the Thursday Friday back to back you can drop that player and add someone who plays the weekend back toback a hawks player a Heat player or a thunder player that is one roster slot you get five games out of it and you’ve only used two moves for the week cuz there are only six game days for the week there are only five streaming days for the week so you have gotten one game every day and you’ve used two moves meaning in most leagues you’ve got four moves at least so those other two moves can be used for longer term stashes adding guys through injured reserve when an injured player opens up another Roser SW you can stream through that as well but that is the maximal way to use one roster spot for the week get a Nuggets player on on Sunday for week nine and then you turn that spot into it getting games on Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday and even if you don’t get the Nuggets player to end week nine you can just add anyone you want on Christmas Day CU you can do that that just mean you use three moves add any Christmas Day player you want then do the Thursday Friday back toback then do the Saturday Sunday back toback five moves one slot two or three moves depending on how you want to um end up attacking that we’re going to come back we’re going to talk more of The Oddities through the week as well in terms of the schedule but today’s episode is brought to you by Skylight frames we’ve got our Skylight frame set up at home it’s actually really really good and we are as we said getting close to Christmas so when you’re doing that you’re looking for a gift well yeah Skylight frames can really be one of those great gifts you can give it to someone it’s so easy to set up you get an app on your phone to be able to send your photos from your phone straight to the frame it’s a digital photo frame with a touchcreen which is an important thing as well but then you can give in either an email address or app invitations to give permissions for people to be a able to upload their photos onto your frame now I thought there might be some Room For Shenanigans with this that some might be able to send I don’t know a very weird photo and it will just appear in your living room that’s not the case because you give permissions to people as well that when they upload photos you say hey can they just upload stuff freely do you have to approve those photos to pop up on your photo frame you can do it through the email address as well all that stuff is awesome it can hang on a wall it can sit on a on a table on a Ledge it is a digital photo frame with a swipe that enables you to stay connected and have photos shared right across the country and honestly across the world I’m debating do I give you guys my code so you can share photos through there we’ll see maybe if you’re good enough now special limited time offer for our listeners you can get 20 bucks off your purchase of a skylight frame when you go to Skylight frame /nb that is SK y l g HT f r m.com snba get 20 bucks off your purchase now at skylightframe.com NBA easy go and uh get one they it is honestly uh it’s great and I’ve got one in the house and we I I don’t like photos and I don’t like photo frames necessarily but I actually do like this and we’ve been we have been uh using it so there you go all right let’s get back into talking about um the NBA the schedule for week 10 um what are the quirks that we need to look at here there’s a lot of them there are a few teams why have I written it this way oh no I thought I’d written it incorrectly no I haven’t there are three teams who do not play over the weekend Cleveland the Clippers and the Pelicans those teams do not play over the weekend so when you’re considering what you’re doing for streaming wise we already talked about the Pelicans value there and obviously that’s the the Cavs and the Clippers are are two two two game teams that they don’t play on the weekend so when you’re trying to grab that extra value out of them it’s there whereas the Kings the other two game team do play on the weekend so a little bit different from them there are two teams and that’s again two of the two game teams that do not play a game until Thursday Monday There’s 14 games on they’re off Tuesday they’re off with zero games and they don’t play Christmas and that is the Pelicans and the Kings well obviously the Pelicans have two games Thursday Friday and the Kings I think are Thursday Saturday so the those two teams it is harder to hold them at the beginning of the week but remember the first two days of the week are not usable days two full two empty and then Christmas is different there are two teams who have a very light period of the week and that is the the Cavs and the Clippers again you see these teams mentioned a lot but from Wednesday through to Sunday Cleveland or the Clippers play one game only again a bad news for Max stru bad news for Derek Jones bad news for Kevin Porter or Chris Dunn or Amir Coffey just no value in one game in five nights there’s way more things you can do with that roster spot than wasted on nonsense like that but there are a bunch of teams with a four gameing five night period And I say five I say five m game nights not five regular days because Thursday is a zero day and this is where you can really get some value cracking Denver Houston and Indiana between Sunday and Friday which is six real life days but it is five game days Denver Houston Indiana have five four games in five nights and then between Monday and Saturday Dallas Denver golden state New York and Phoenix have four games in five nights understanding that the first one of those games is on Monday and there are 14 games on but it is a condensed period of time for uh for both of those or not both those teams for all of those teams across those periods uh right there if we look at some other sort of scheduling stuff in terms of the three game in four night periods Sunday through Thursday again I’m using four game day four game days four game nights Sunday to Thursday Denver Houston Indiana and Toronto Monday to Friday these teams have three games in four nights it’s Boston Brooklyn Dallas Denver Golden State Houston Indiana Memphis Minnesota New York Orlando Phoenix San Antonio and then after that we’ve erased that Zero game day and then to end of the week Wednesday through to Saturday a three game in four night period for Dallas Denver golden state New York and Phoenix and Thursday through to Sunday it’s Atlanta uh Brooklyn Houston Indiana Memphis Miami Oklahoma City and Orlando have got three games in four nights there is a already talked about a period or a bunch of teams who got four games in that weird sort of five night period but if we talk about a actual six night period which is Sunday through to Saturday which is you know seven real days but six game nights there are these teams that play four games Denver Dallas Golden State Houston Indiana New York and Phoenix the difference here is Denver in six game nights play five games we know that little Chung not Little chungus Big chungus has been rolling at a huge level big minutes for Nicol yic five games in seven game night in six game nights what does that mean for the poop cookie Michael Porter what does it mean for Jamaal Murray what does it mean for Aaron Gordon who’s been dealing with that Cal Issue four games or sorry five games for the nuggets in six nights it’s a very very busy period very busy and then if we look at a an extended run of nine nights nine real life uh sorry nine game nights there are two teams that play six games that is Sunday of week 9 through to Tuesday of week 11 nine game nights Denver has six games and Indiana has six games so they are your two teams with the real real boost in schedule cuz you can talk we can talk daily streams and we do all the time but sometimes with some of these Hit or Miss waiver wire players you don’t know what you’re going to get you could add someone and they shoot one of 10 and they play 10 minutes and the next and they play 30 minutes but over a 10day period a 9-day period that evens out and you get the 120th best player which is solid enough especially when you’ve got a a an amalgamation amalgamation that’s probably not the right word there but it’s a a lot of games that’s what I’m trying to say in that time frame and if you’re talking streaming Andrew nard Benedict matham Obi toppen um stala Watson Brown Westbrook if they’re available six games nine game nights just having that value there is is useful it’s important I think um on the flip side of that over those next nine real life um sorry nine NBA game days 10 real life days the Pistons play three times three so if you are getting excited about assar Thompson if you are in one of the old um Diamond Double onic platinum diamond titanium leagues and you think you hey maybe I go and grab Paul Reed because Isaiah Stewart is out and also Reed’s better than Duran then the Pistons play three times three times in in 10 days but three times in nine nights nine game nights and that’s not enough Assad Thompson that’s not enough to hold Jaden iy it is barely enough to hold Tobias Harris barely but is it even enough to hold Malik Beasley it’s so low man three games compared to six of those other two teams it’s a lot it is a big big difference let’s um let’s talk about backto backs some of these back-to-backs are going to be more important or more useful than others because of course of the large 14 game day but Sunday through to Monday Denver Houston Indiana Toronto remembering Monday is a 14 game day Monday through to Wednesday um Tuesday is a zero game day there are a bunch of teams and basically these are just all the teams that play on Christmas play on Monday as well Boston Dallas Denver Golden State the Lakers Minnesota New York Philadelphia Phoenix and San Antonio and then what we talked about earlier in the Stream zone is Denver is the only team that plays on Sunday and on Wednesday so you can use them on a low volume Sunday and you get to keep them for the low volume Wednesday Thursday Friday we’ve talked about this back toback already Brooklyn Houston Indiana Memphis New Orleans and Orlando there is no Wednesday Thursday back toback that does not exist this week and then we look at a Friday Saturday combination as well which doesn’t work out perfectly when we’re talking about um when we’re talking about the value of um was I going to say uh getting the most games in through streaming Friday Saturday is not the great the great back-to-back that we want but it’s Dallas Denver golden state New York and Phoenix and then Saturday to Sunday is Atlanta Miami and Oklahoma City which we have already spoken about being the uh the backtack to end the week to really boost that streaming value or streaming potential that you might have we’re going to come back and talk about injured players we’re going to talk about some weekly leagues and what we do with the two game players but today’s episode is brought to you by built rewards if you are a renter you got to listen up because this can change things for you honestly thanks to built you can now earn

don’t know I think don’t knows a lot of the time is is probably one of the more not important parts of it but you know interesting parts of it uh these guys are players that I I just don’t think we’re going to have play during the week uh Isaac aoro trayman buan bogdanovich Mitchell Robinson kawh Leonard and Pao banero don’t think they’re going to be out there playing um during the week neither is France Vagner Zion Williamson Brandon Ingram Chad holen or Vince Williams these only included the guys there who really matter for the majority of 10 and 12 team formats and that’s they’re the guys that I do think better in that scenario in terms of guys that we’re not sure about their week 10 status Luca donic is ruled out for today’s game uh we’ll see whether he’s available during the week I think he probably will be but we don’t know Damen L’s also miss both games of the back toback for the bucks which is a little bit concerning Devon Booker with the groin strain I don’t think that he plays at all but they haven’t fully ruled that out so we’ll see jar um dealing with the back issue that caused him to miss that time in that Golden State game I I think there is some um concern with temetrius in terms of how much time he actually misses here Emanuel quickley maybe an end of week return not sure uh James Butler he is dealing with the ankle issue which then they called an illness and he’s already doubtful for the game on Saturday which is to no one’s shock at all with Butler so yeah you got a risk of him not playing we don’t know about Brandon Miller who’s missed a couple in a row for the Hornets with him out you get just get extra Touches for a bunch of different players including someone like Cody Martin yakob purle has missed a few now with a groin issue for the Raptor so John mobo theoretically it’s KY lck but not really but John mobo gets the value we might get Cam Thomas returning so that’s uh that’ll be a positive in that spot tar E’s been dealing with a leg issue I am holding barely joshh gidy in his ankle I think he does return during the week and I just have no idea about Kyle kosmer in this rib spray which has obviously kept him out for quite a long time last time out we saw the Jazz keonte George sprained his ankle he came back into that game but he is doubtful for their next game so maybe there’s a chance he misses games in week 10 Anar Kong a kongu should be returning towards the end of the week Marcus Smart missed the last game for the Grizzy so there’s uncertainty there and we also might be getting the return of Aaron n Smith in Indiana not that n Smith is necessarily a good fantasy option although like I said six games nine nights that is a bulk volume play but n Smith won’t get all of those games just to be clear but he is going to be returning to action and just could change a few little things about how that team operates the last thing we want to look at is some weekly League stuff and you know what a weekly league is it’s a league where you set your line up for a week and I think probably the most important thing we look at in terms of a weekly league is having a look at which um which players on the two game teams and there are four of them are going to be worth starting for a standard 12 12 team format Cleveland the Clippers the Pelicans and the Kings all play two games I think these four players are the guys that you would start in most cases it’s two Cleveland guys Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell I think you would start James Harden and I think you would start damont sabonis the ones who would be close is maybe Norman pal probably not dearin Fox borderline Deonte Murray borderline I wouldn’t consider treade Murphy I wouldn’t consider herb Jones I wouldn’t consider Demar D rozan in Sacramento I wouldn’t um consider I zubats really I W I wouldn’t consider Jared Allen or Darius Garland either you most spots so I think moyy Don Mitchell Jim Harden and damont sabonis are going to be your um four guys who with two games on are probably going to be worth starting and that is a week 10 Christmas preview and it is uh it is Christmas if you want to give me a gift you can uh just donate one of your thumbs onto the video and subscribe on the audio side and double bang of course but you without it sounding cornia the biggest gift you can give me is just you guys have a good time just be be positive don’t
