and it’s time for another episode of the locked on Fantasy Basketball podcast let’s get to it let’s get to it in date you are locked on fantasy your daily NBA fantasy podcast part of the locked on podcast Network your your team every day hello and welcome to the locked on Fantasy Basketball podcast brought to you by basketball monster my name is Josh Lloyd I’m going to make this one a short show because I got an appointment I’m getting a BBL installed later today I’m also the lead fantasy Analyst at basball monster.com and you can find me on Blue Sky josh. b.so on Twitter at Redrock

you win your first $5 bet go to fel.com to get started also check out locked on daily.com where you can get the best newsletter for your favorite team sign up over there 12 games on busy one here obviously we with three games Friday I think it’s three on Sunday as well to finish off whatever the number week this is week nine who cares we are talking about the week that ends on December the 22nd because week numbers don’t mean anything because there are different week numbers across every site now so if I ever reference a week number from here on out I’m talking calendar week it’s actually week eight in yah I don’t care I am only to be referencing calendar weeks if I mention week numbers at all just so we’re all clear with that cool I’m don’t know why I even mentioned that then it’s okay we’re going to go in and just preview these games there are 12 of them on one we do have a slightly earlier start a 600 p.m. Eastern start for the first game of the day so just so we’re aware of that and it’s I don’t know what we should call this period of the Year some might call it the holiday season I don’t know some might call it Christmas time that’s fine I’m going to call it um rematch season because in the NBA there’s a bunch of teams that are just playing the same team twice and I actually I don’t care about that like some people get really why you’ve played this team four times already in the first two months that’s completely unfair I just don’t care I I don’t think there’s any real reason that the schedule has to be evenly spaced out I I don’t care that stuff all shakes out in the end but it is pretty strange to me that we’re going to be talking about a bunch of games here where it’s the same team playing each other two in a row just really concentrated in this window and here’s one of them the last game yesterday is the first game on Saturday I think yeah Lakers Kings an early early game it’s an afternoon game in Sacramento um the kings are fivepoint favorites here even though they SM got smacked last time out by the Lakers but that often happens when you’re back toback with two teams uh often you split the games that’s a pretty standard standard thing that does tend to go down the Lakers next week in terms of the schedule here unless the team plays Saturday Sunday and the kings are one of those I’m not going to say that the team plays Saturday cuz you know they play Saturday because that’s what we’re talking about here Saturday so the Lakers next week week 10 go Monday Wednesday Saturday the Kings do have the weekend back toback one of only two teams that do that but then next week it’s a really bad week for them in terms of schedule Thursday and Saturday they play Christian Wood Jackson Hayes Jared vaner B Bar are all going to be out for the Lakers again jayen Hood chafino I’m going to put him questionable but one of the biggest don’t care of all time the man just doesn’t play so don’t worry about that dein Carter remains out for Sacramento and Trey Lyles I’m assuming that Trey ly returns here ly was a chance to play in the game on Thursday but obviously uh obviously didn’t I think he can return here on the Lakers side of things there’s a lot of things to watch Austin Reeves is one of the ones that I want to watch cuz his minutes were way up and he has looked just so much better since returning from that injury I think part of that is being split away from D’Angelo Russell having someone like Max Christie next to him I think we might get a really longed elevated stretch from Reeves and we watch that and for the Kings it’s actually the opposite for deato Ros and things are going south really quickly he’s numbers are down his passing numbers are down I don’t know that this is a permanent washed watch situation but when someone’s 34 they’re playing on a new team there was always fits about who gets the ball and the ball handling there’s you got to have some sort of concerns about how this all looks and it’s not looking good at the moment so we just keep an eye on Demar to see where it all ends up in terms of stream guys it is Max Christie playing the big minutes in La you could consider him or Gabe Vincent but we’re talking deeper League stuff there anyway and again there’s 12 games on you’re probably not going to have much room to stream anyway doton connect’s playing limited minutes uh DLo is playing his 22 or so and then on the Kings Kevin herder to me is the option there we saw that with the return of Keegan Marian with Kevin herder Keon Ellis only played 20 minutes and that makes him useless so herder becomes your stream guy but he of course can be terrible really at any point and that can happen really really quickly the second game we go to the Battle of Florida the heat the magic Miami are one of the teams that are playing Friday so they’re back to- backing themselves onto Saturday I don’t know that there’s any reason to think that Jimmy Butler is going to sit out the back toback but it’s Jim anything can happen with him at any point so I don’t know that that’s going to be the case though schedule-wise for both of these teams Monday Thursday Saturday Sunday in week 10 for Miami Monday Thursday Friday Sunday for Orlando in terms of absences Josh Richardson is currently doubtful for Fridays game so I’ll put him questionable there while pal Larson and little chungus Nicol yovic are both questionable Friday so I’ll put him questionable Saturday as well Paulo and France are going to be out and I did label jayen Suggs as doubtful but this man apparently is the new Wolverine because he’s probable he suffered that ankle injury it looked terrible right oh my God this looks bad he goes to the locker room he comes back out he starts the second half he lasts 4 minutes he can barely walk and he just doesn’t play again for the rest of the game you go surely in two days time he’s not going to play no he is so I don’t know I don’t know what to say about that that that Jaylen Suggs is just the Miracle Man I guess he’s probable so that looks like he’s going to play G Harris is officially questionable as well so he’s return is uh is likely coming what are we watching for on the magic well the last two games we have gotten really strong minutes from Tristan to Silva 30 plus minutes now the games before that he still started and played like 18 and 19 minutes is it a Gary Harris absence thing that really helped Tristan there was it the fact that a few of those shots just went in I don’t know I don’t think he’s anything like a 12 team League guide to Sila but if you’re going to play 30 minutes a night you can have 12 15 points and hit three threes that’s at least useful to a portion of people so we need to watch that Drew Smith Remains the stream for Miami but I will be very interested to see what happens when P lson plays cuz lson was getting his 16 17 minutes and they got to come from somewhere so does Smith still play 29 or did he go back and play 18 or what happens and then on the magic side M black was really good last game he was also trash the game before that and if Harris and sugs both play the opportunity for big minutes for black isn’t there and we know he is wildly inconsistent if sugs was going to miss I’d be all about trying black out and seeing where we go over the next week and see how long Suggs is going to be up but it looks like Suggs might miss literally zero games and that’s not going to make it that interesting for him so he goes back to just being that like I’ll stream him in maybe we get some assists maybe we get the good game maybe we get the stinker don’t know but that does happen for him uh relatively often the next game the Memphis Grizzlies fresh off a 51o Beatdown over the Golden State Warriors is going to take on the Atlanta Hawks in Atlanta both of these teams have four games in week 10 Monday Thursday Friday Sunday for Memphis and Monday Thursday Saturday Sunday for the Hawks Vince Williams and Greg Jackson are going to be out Vince got an update today we’re still 3 to six weeks away it looks like he had a legitimate grade three ankle sprain not like some of these other designations of Donovan clingan’s grade 2 MCL sprain uh or Desmond Ban’s grade three ankle last season we actually got a real grade three much like with maxu uh in Cleveland so yeah Vince is out for a while I don’t know about Marcus smart and jar I can almost assure you was jarand is going to appear on the injury report he played only 17 minutes in that game against the Warriors smart missed the last game I would say there is a decent shot that Mor does not play in this game Jay half also listed questionable too for the Hawks it’s just a Yer Kong that’s going to be out and we’ll talk about that in a sec for the Grizzlies I just want to keep watching Santi Al D because it has been a wild wild change in his game from where it was last season just go look at all his per 36 numbers right his assist rate his rebound rate look at his uh free throw percentage look at his twoo percentage look at his uh did I say threes anyway twos threes free throws every one of his shooting numbers are way up his rebound rate per minute is up his assist rate per minute is up everything’s up and he keeps doing it and it’s always he always go how does he find the minutes how does he play 25 well the Grizzlies just bench guys or they blow teams out there just always seems to be a way and maybe he maintains 12 team value it is distinctly possible I just I I took a long time to buy into all these things sticking I’m still not fully there I still don’t know how do I believe that these things are going to hold but they are so that’s cool for the Hawks uh DeAndre Hunter continuing to shoot unbelievably well continuing to do very little in the other areas again but the rebounds were nice in the last game and he played huge minutes is that what’s going to happen is he going to play 33 a night now is he going to go back to 29 and rely upon 58% shooting cuz that’s a that’s an iffy player a 29-minute guy relying upon 58% shooting shooting is an iffy player a guy playing 34 minutes a night well then you can suffer a shooting Decline and still be useful so we need to watch that in terms of stream guys it probably is Brandon Clark for Memphis but his value has dropped with Zack Edie taking that starting spot not that Ed is playing 30 minutes but there’s probably value there and of course the stream in Atlanta is Larry Nance Jr now I don’t think the 31 minutes from Nance is anywhere close to an expectation right he was really really strong in the last game he also hit 83% from three to really boost what he did and I believe that Quin Snider just rolled extra with Nance because like every shot was going in so I think you’re more likely to see 21 minutes or 22 minutes from n which is fine but we’ve played the Larry Nance dance before the N Dance eh we’ve done it before look at this look at the per minute numbers and he comes in and he plays 21 minutes to go oh yeah but he shot 65% on three shots yeah like it’s fine you absolutely can have a look at Laren Anon you can stream him in you can see what happens but I also think that last game may have just may have just been a little teasy and it might not give us might not give us exactly what we looking for would be uh would be my guess on that one at this point we got more games to talk about before we get there though today’s episode is brought to you by Price Pi price Pi of course is the best way for

Simple okay games we’ve got them next one Jazz net it’s honestly any Utah game that we get these days I don’t know what to expect 140 Point explosion them getting smacked by 70 players squaring up to punch on it I I just I don’t know I don’t know there’s just something random that seems to happen every time they play the Nets are twoo favorites here at home the Jazz go Monday Thursday Saturday the Nets are a Monday Thursday Friday Sunday team in week 10 I’ve put all of the G League guys or not gague all the rookies doubtful cuz I believe they’re still down at the g-league Showcase Cody Williams KY filipowski and Isaiah Kia so I don’t think they’re going to play for the um for the Jazz and they’re important because some of them are bloody high draft picks and I just don’t think they’re going to be available cam Thomas Tren Waton buam bogdanovich and Z Williams are all going to be out for Brooklyn so what I’ve been watching in Utah well it’s three on five Legend Colin seon because why was it only because Jordan Clarkson decided he was going to be the new um Jake Paul and try and punch out Mike Tyson is that why that Colin seon popped off last game was it cuz Detroit was terrible and coached horribly by JB Pier sta in that game I don’t know cuz let’s be fair saxon’s been terrible and then last game he was great so how do I read this I and against the Nets there’s a possibility anything can happen so we want to watch it and for the Nets I want to watch Jaylen Wilson you might say that’s a weird one to watch well I tell you what I think is going to happen I don’t think Keon Johnson’s going to start he played eight minutes last game and I think Jaylen Wilson has a real shot to move into the sty live now that is me plucking that straight from behind but we’ll find out so that’s why I want to watch Jaylen Wilson I want to see whether they pop him straight out that starting lineup or is it shake Milton or do they just go back to whatever it is that Keon Johnson’s allegedly providing them in terms of stream guys Jordan Clarkson is a stream gu someone left a comment man why would Jordan Clarkson be a stream well because he’s got the ability to pop off he’s got the ability to play 30 minutes and he’s rosted in under 40% of leagues that’s why is he a must roster guy absolutely not he’s a guy that you can have and you got to deal with the issues but the ability to do that like versus hey should I try Johnny juang no you shouldn’t but Jordan Clarkson is always going to be somewhat of a stream option for the Jazz and then for the Nets Ben Simmons is still under 40% rosted and he should not be Ben Simmons is a must roster player until further notice just add Ben Simmons everywhere I know you will find it distasteful I don’t care he is a must roster player until further notice the next game is Philadelphia and Cleveland a weird one where both of these teams are playing on Friday and they’re playing on Saturday the double back toback Philadelphia plays Monday Wednesday Saturday next week whereas Cleveland only has two games Monday and Friday I really don’t think that Joel embiid is going to play in this game he’s he might well I’m labeling embiid is doubtful for Saturday under the assumption assum assump assumption that he plays on Friday so I think embiid plays Friday sits Saturday as for Paul George we heard in the offseason that he was going to sit back Tob backs I’m not sure that he does honestly they are so bad and George doesn’t have the problems that embiid has and part of the George sitting thing was like hey let’s just TR and keep him healthy running for the playoffs without like any sort of prolonged injury problem well they can’t afford to do that so I actually think that we might move into Paul George playing in the back toback but I don’t know that K Le Barton’s been out for a while with a shoulder issue so I’ll put him as questionable here he’s out on Friday Isaac aoro is going to be out for Cleveland and I’m going to put the Winter Soldier Max stru there too I don’t know whether he plays Friday if he does play Friday I’d say there’s no chance that stru plays on Saturday but if he is out on Friday then Saturday looks like a logical spot for him to make make your season debut the stream guy it is Andre Drummond to me with Joel and beid almost certainly not playing but of course if Drummond plays then if beid plays then we don’t care about the big avocado and then Caris LeVert is the guy in Cleveland Isaac aoro is out that allows Levert to be able to do more of course he’s a complete dice roll sort of a player anyway it’s not really a dice roll it’s a die roll cuz I’m only rolling one die in this scenario so that’s a phrase that’s wrong unless people are just using that into in the craps lexicon where you’re always throwing two down but I feel most people don’t view it that way we’re talking about One Singular die aren’t we I don’t know how do you view it when someone says that’s a die sh do you think someone’s chucking multiple dice down or am I Incorrect and now I’m double now you know what I got to go check that pedantism let’s go no I was right it’s a a a singular d and a a plural is Dice much like with with mice is plural and then my is singular um so there there you go it’s a die roll Maybe who knows wow that was a stupid tangent um should we do the next game but sounds like a good idea it’s the Knicks and the Pelicans we’re going down to nans for this one the Knicks are unsurprisingly favored eight and 1 Half Point favorites here the Knicks play Monday Wednesday Friday Saturday in week 10 the Pelicans are the other team apart from the kings that have the weekend back toback they got a Saturday Sunday and then they play two games the week after Monday Friday uh Mitchy Robinson’s going to be out we don’t know about Josh The Hitman har he missed the last game due to a personal issue if he is out we saw precious atua start and we saw juice McBride get 29 minutes and that meant that McBride was really useful and AA lesso but Still’s okay for the Pelicans Ingram Zion elvado I’m expecting all of those three players to but remember we think of the Pelicans as entirely beat up and that’s fair because Ingram and Zion are allegedly their two best players but otherwise they’re fine everyone else is there so Tyson movich who’ve been Daniel Ty dealing with a personal issue I feel like that the personal issue is that there’s souring of the relationship and they brought him in now they don’t want to play him he’s like what’s going on here so I I I feel like maybe that’s some of I don’t know that’s speculation from me so I’m not really sure what’s going on with Daniel T I hope everything’s okay with him and his family and makovic dealing with a neck issue meaning you’re getting guys like Trey jerson playing those backup minutes in New Orleans and yeah he plays for the Pelicans what are we looking for here Jaylen Brunson and I want to watch on the Knicks why because last game yeah they were cooking the Wolves but he played 29 minutes and he’s had multiple Foot and Ankle problems all through the season so watching to see exactly how they utilize him I think is going to be really interesting because you 38 minutes of Brunson pushes top 20 34 well yeah know it’s not as exciting so that’s something to watch on the Pelicans I I I think CJ I think he might be watched he he just doesn’t look good now he has proven me wrong many times by me saying I don’t think CJ’s a good cool Josh I’m going to average 1.2 blocks and shoot 49% from three okay sick uh CJ is struggling with free throw all right Josh 89% now and then the next year he goes back to 62 but it’s continually just like all over the shot with him so I don’t know I I honestly he should be the player that comes off the bench when they get healthy but he won’t because you know he’s CJ McCullum but I want to see if we get some signs of life here in terms of stream guys prea probably is the stream but McBride could easily fit that Mark although he’s rosted in quite a few more leagues and then on the Pelicans it is BJ Boston but we saw last game with Jordan Hawkins back we just didn’t get as as much runway for BJ we only got 21 minutes normally we get a 27 minute BJ production and that’s useful enough to get that scoring in but if you’re only getting BJ for 21 minutes I’m not really sure that’s enough to satisfy what we need in terms of that sort of a stream so we keep an eye on that he is streamable still BJ but I’m not sure we’re going to get the same um end result that we would like to get out of adding BJ Boston onto our fantasy teams we’ll come back and talk about the other games in a sec but today’s episode is

responsibly okay um let’s go through the next group of games here the Wizards and the Bucks Milwaukee is playing on Friday and after we recorded the preview show for Friday’s games it was uh announced that Damen Lillard was going to sit out that game so just keep an eye on that one um schedule wise both teams are Monday Thursday Saturdays next week I don’t know whether Kyle kosma is going to return from whatever this rib sprain nonsense is it’s been a terrible season from mzma he’s a terribly annoying player but his return just junks everything up we’ll see whether he’s back or not I’m going to just comfortably assume that Chris Middleton doesn’t play here he’s currently listed probable for mon so for Friday with an illness I think he plays Friday in since Saturday I also think it’s more than likely that Dame lard plays on Saturday I just think that it was the first game of a back toback he gone extra hard through the NBA cup situation into the finals so they gave him the Friday off don’t be shocked it’s against the Wizards don’t be shocked if jannis hits this game as well um he’s playing jannis is probable on Friday so I’ll put him probable Saturday but I wouldn’t be surprised if Middleton is out Saturday Lillard returns and Janis is out so I wouldn’t be shocked at that last game for Washington we got big minutes well big production actually from malcol Brogden which is everything you need from a um from a team that is is rebuilding and trying to retool things uh getting big big bogged minutes for the 10 games that he plays so we’ll see do they slide malcol Brogden into the starting lineup and move Bob Carrington to the bench like they did a few weeks ago I think it’s possible so we’ll see what they do um yeah I want to watch it I think we add brogon for now and then we cut bait later on much like Ben Simmons you feel like the body is going to fall apart at any point but just do it for now and then move on later on the Bucks are on a back toback like I said and for the Wizards I think just champany probably is streaming but at any point passion Pop might do nothing now he already lost 8 minutes last game from the 35 he was playing with kissper and George returning and there is still kusma to come back so I don’t really think that champan is going to be able to maintain rest of season value from here on out but streaming wise we just hold until that actually just does die off in terms of the Bucks probably tan Prince Bobby poris if he’s there because we might have both Middleton andiana sitting which opens up tons for other people as I’m sure you would be well aware the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Tim wolves the Warriors obviously need to bounce back after getting cooked in the last one the wolves are fourpoint favores by the way the Wolves also got cooked in their last game the Monday Wednesday Friday Saturday is the Warriors week 10 schedule the wolves are a Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday and injury-wise there’s only two guys that I think are going to be listed here one is Moses Moody dealing with a knee problem so I’ll put him questionable closer to doubtful doesn’t look like he’ll play and then Joe Engles with the Cal strain he’s just probably not going to play he would get zero minutes anyway and Moody might get zero minutes as well but who knows with what Steve Kerr has been doing what am I watching on the Warriors well John Kinga not because I’m not watching John kaminga because I want to watch good basketball I’m watching John Kinga to see what the role is he was benched last game we didn’t get the graphic from Shams this time but he was benched and they put Draymond Green back in so is that the lineup that stays for the foreseeable future I don’t know what I do know is unless I get 30 plus minutes of John kaminga he’s not a 12 team guy a 26 minute kaminga is not enough 31 probably is so if I’ve got him I hold for now but now things get confusing it gets interesting Looney green uh the only two guys I know are going to start I’ll say three is Wiggins schrder and Curry the others Looney Jackson Davis green kaminga uh heeld psky although I don’t think pod’s anywhere closest to him but he played well last game so who knows there’s no certainty with any of this stuff and with the Wolves I it’s Nas Reed Bros been terrible can we get some stuff turned around but what I am watching for like where his minutes going to sit there are some people who thought he might get just be a 28 29 minute a night player play every conceivable minute behind goar and Randall and that clearly hasn’t been the case so where is the playing time at in terms of streams I I don’t love it but Looney probably used the stream mainly because pimpy and he would have rosted in too many leagues to qualify here otherwise you would clearly prefer those guys and then as per usual Jaden McDaniels is the stream for the Wolves the Celtics and the Bulls they’re matching up again what a shock that is we just saw the Bulls knock off Boston and now we get Boston getting their revenge over Chicago they are 10-point favorites here at the Celtics the Celtics play Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday next week the Bulls are a Monday Thursday Saturday team Josh giddy they labeled him questionable for the last game I’m going to say that he’s out here now they could very well label him questionable on the injury report like they did for Thursday but giddy himself after Thursday’s game said yeah um there’s a chance I could be back as early as Monday which of course implies that Saturday has no shot but teams lie players lie usually they lie in the other direction and say they’re available when they’re not so we’ll see what happens but I don’t think giddy’s going to be there Dal Terry also questionable and then slam and Sammi house has been dealing with his back issues so he’s questionable same with Xavier T ilman Drew holiday is the one to watch for me in Boston you know that I’ve said he’s a points League dropped for about five or six weeks and I think we are moving that way in a category leag you don’t have to but as always the discussion is not always is there someone better on the waiver wire than Drew cuz probably the answer is no it’s is the is the Vault running of stend guys on the waiver wire better than Drew and for you that might be yes and that’s what you look at for the Bulls IOD dumu is playing a ton of minutes and to me you know what I think of dumu I think that he’s a low usage player and not I think that that is a legitimate fact he’s just a low usage player but when he plays 37 minutes a night with the fact that he’s hitting like 60% of his twos there’s enough value in that to use him my problem’s always been that if he gets 29 minutes the 16 usage doesn’t cut it and then you’re relying upon outlier shooting numbers to be a consistent thing which which they might be they might be but it’s harder to get enough volume in when you’re playing under 30 or9 so watching what his role is I think it’s going to be high in here this one without any question but that is something to watch Al Horford and Lonzo ball the two stream guys that are available in a lot of different spots we saw a really disappointing game from Lonzo and even Al last game but they can always give us better performances of that so I think they’re probably the guys we look at another Repeat Performance game Clippers and the Mavs we saw this one the other day uh there was no Luca no Kyrie available for Dallas in terms of schedule the Clippers go Monday Friday next week Dallas plays Four Monday Wednesday Friday Saturday Kawai man Kobe Brown are all going to be out I’m guessing for the Clippers Dante XM is out for Dallas um Jaden Hardy Kyrie Irving and luuka donic are the question marks on the Mavericks I do think that we get I think Kyrie plays uh Luc I don’t know I I honestly I’m not sure where we’re at with this there’s a chance he doesn’t but like I I’m I’m really not sure for the Clippers Chris Dunn was ejected in the last game he’s still remaining a nice stream guy and we just keep watching where the minutes go and then same as on Dallas cuz Derrick live is playing 309 he’s a must roster player Derk Lively really clearly and I think we look at Dan Gafford as a clear points League drop and in category leagues it’s borderline but that’s the that’s the watch right is it 318 again because I think it might be in terms of streams dun is there again for the Clippers and then Naj Marshall probably is the stream although dwy and Grimes open up tremendously if Kyrie and Luca are sidelined as we saw in the last one the next game the Portland Trailblazers the Victorious over the Denver Nuggets Portland Trailblazers and the San Antonio Spurs winners of the last game against the Hawks as well they face off the Spurs are 6 and a half Point favorites Portland plays Monday Thursday Saturday the Spurs are Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday only injuries currently listed for these two teams matis thel out and Delano Banton missed the last game and he’s questionable that’s it no one else is injured on the Blazers to me I want to see Donovan kinger not because I don’t sort of know what he is cuz I do but are they really good is he going to be a 12-minute night player I believe yes so watching what they do with him and watching what they do with Robert Williams is probably the key Focus here for the Spurs Deon Vel started last game and I I’m 100% certain he will keep starting but to me it’s now what happens is he a 34 Minute a night player where does his usage fit in what does his assist rate look like playing next to wey and Paul cuz all those things will determine whether he’s the top 90 player a top 70 player a top 50 player I don’t think he’s top 50 at all but I want to see these things Taman Kamara who I thought would sort of be squeeze a little bit for minutes in fact what they’re doing is moving AIA and scoots minutes down and Kamar has moved back up to over 30 night so that’s really useful and then for the Spurs I don’t think that champany is a must roster guy anymore in 25 minutes tonight that’s not enough but he’s a very interesting streamable guy and I would 100% be streaming him over Calin Johnson and over uh Steph Castle the final game of the day is Detroit and Phoenix we’re in Phoenix for this game uh no spread currently available the Pistons are on Monday Thursday Saturday next week whereas Phoenix is Monday Wednesday Friday Saturday Isaiah Stewart I’m just going to presume is out with his knee issue I don’t know about Jaden Ivy he missed two in a row I think there’s a decent chance he plays but I’m not sure and I’m just going to go ahead and tell you that Deon book is not going to play that is not official at this stage I can go and have a look to see whether there has been any official pronouncement of Devon Booker status there has not by the way what we did get though is that jar got labeled as doubtful that is not a shock for me at all at all so if you wanted to stream Scot pibon you can but there’s also 12 games on so I wouldn’t get too overly um uh overly out over our skis they also popped Keon George on the injury report is questionable after he hurt his ankle in the last game but did return so just keep an eye on that one that was the your latest injury update definitely yeah I don’t expect de Booker to play I want to watch the thick hogman not because again I like him watching him play but like are you just done maybe he’s actually just cooked I thought to go into Detroit would enable him and he was despite all the criticisms he was actually pretty good most of the season in Philadelphia but he’s like doing less and he can’t shoot at all anymore he might just be finished that is possible so I want to watch that and then for the Suns tyus Jones had a stinker but with Booker out will he ramp the minutes back up and what happens to the usage and then how does that impact efficiency in terms of stream guys Lecky Beasley continues to be that player yes I would probably still stream him over assar Thompson but we know with Beasley there’s going to be ups and downs and hits and misses but at the moment he’s rolling relatively consistently and then on the Suns you got either Royce O’Neal or Grayson Allen who are going to be your preferred guys with the absence of Booker I think they just shift Beal down to the two they could play Allen there which is the lineup sort of they went with last season or we’ve been seeing Royce O’Neal get a lot of that those minutes either way both guys I think are going to get a pretty sizable bump in their overall playing time that’s the 12 games done let’s take a look now at some schedule sort of things in terms of the back-to-back Saturday Sunday it’s just the two teams it’s the Pelicans and the Kings remembering though with 12 games on on Saturday it’s going to be pretty hard for you to jump in there and grab someone useful from either of those teams a herder or Alice or Boston like would you do that to even play them on Saturday probably not so realistically you’re just going to hold that move and use it for whoever you find the best option to be on Sunday now in terms of of chunks um over the next five NBA game days which runs from Saturday through to Thursday of course because Tuesday has zero games there’s nobody that plays three quality games the quality game days are Sunday um Wednesday and Thursday but there are these players the six players I got named here who play two quality games who are available in over 60% of leagues according to Yahoo that I think are worth having a look at Dylan Brooks really good last game and we know he’s always got the minutes value there Obi Topp has been absolutely cooking at the moment I don’t know that I fully trust him but he is playing well and you got a little bit of a schedule Advantage Osa abaji the Raptors with two those quality games plus absences I don’t know if Barrett’s going to miss but quickly still out P’s dealing with stuff so baji gets a bit a bit of a bump faner pants k Hur her you know you’ve got the Sunday game from him and then you got I think it’s the Thursday game for the Kings as well Andy neart and TJ McConnell in Indiana so obviously IND Indiana you’re looking at Houston you got Denver in that mix you got Toronto in that mix with the two quality game days over the next five actual NBA game days and lastly we look at the fives and twos over the next seven days on the calendar Saturday through the next Friday are there any teams to play five games are there any teams that play two nobody plays five but the Hornets and the Thunder have two games over the next 7 days so we thought maybe there was a chance that qu dallis would maintain value don’t think so move on two games in five in s days not enough Hornets guys yes we do have lamelo ball and Mark Williams resting on the game on Friday but like this is in to that bumps of Us Mid at Bobs Nick Richards but holding mittit holding Richards even holding a Cody Martin scenario through the next seven days only two games on not going to be worth it and that’s where we get that advantage in that part of the calendar and that is a Saturday pre with the 12 games on so that’ll bring us to the end of the show you know the things that you can do either materially or mentally you can do the bangs and the comments and the thumbs but also you can do me a favor and just you know have a good day you can do me a favor and and and be be kind to yourself do me a favor and be kind to somebody else guys we are done here thank you so much for listening everyone see you [Music]
