favorite team not a newsletter the newsletter the best newsletter all of the best information about your favorite team at lock on.com um this is where we’re at and I know there is going to be a lot of confusion I know that people already asking me this so people ask there are some fantasy leagues where they they get ran and I’m like what’s actually going on in that League because I’ll have people ask me a question now hey what should I do for this week in the schedule you decided it before you draft maybe but that’s okay if everyone’s on board with you making last second changes that’s okay what you should have done and what you should do is make the week starting on Monday week eight run for 14 days that’s what that matchup should be it should run from Monday through to two Sundays after this that is what should have been done um whether you can still do that or not I don’t know that is up to you and your individual league and all of that sort of stuff but the matchup should run from the 9th of December through to the 22nd of December and that would mean that 26 teams in that period play four games and four teams play five games a very even and balanced schedule if you are playing on Yahoo you don’t really have that choice cuz you know why would they ever give you flexibility and they decided that you can uh run the matchup combining the 2nd of December through to the 15th of December which is a horrible way to run things because that means that the week after that is going to be terrible as well but that’s okay what we are here to do and remember from here on out when I’m talking weeks I’m talking calendar weeks because every side is going to be different I don’t believe that ESPN has any combinations at all going on so in ESPN League for this week week eight here this is all you got seven days on I think on fan track’s default it is the same you have got just the one 7-Day period if you are in the leagues that I run the locked on Fantasy Basketball bow we run from the 9th to the 22nd if you’re on Yahoo this week is part of last week that is where it’s all very weird so we are just going to call this week eight starting December the 9th finishing on December the 15th that’s that’s what we’re g and I almost I almost feel like I made a mistake on one of the slides coming up I hope I didn’t but anyway we’ll talk about that I want you to guys to have all of the information and the correct information about what you need for this week because this is the NBA cup knockout weeks it’s the the finals the championship game is actually the week after but this is the championship week and you need to understand what is actually going on during this week yes we need to understand what’s going on so let’s let’s take a look at the actual um at the actual schedule it’s light there’s absolutely no debate in that so we go to we uh Monday there’s one game on and this is just a rogue random game I don’t know why there’s one game on Monday it’s got nothing to do with the NBA cup there’s just one game on that’s the Knicks and the Raptors don’t know don’t know why Tuesday and Wednesday are both NBA cup days there are two games on Tuesday for quarterfinals there are two games on Wednesday for quarterfinals Thursday is just another random day with only three games on and I think at at the beginning of the season when before all of this sort of played out and we really had any idea when they’ reschedule the games or when they add the new games in we thought it might be a real beneficial thing to Target the teams that you think would get through to the NBA cup knockout rounds because that would mean they play on low volume days but I don’t give you a spoiler it every day is a low volume day it doesn’t actually matter it it m means nothing for this week every single day is a streamable day it doesn’t matter if you qualified or not now last year it was a little bit different we would have like two games two games 10 games 11 games it was very different it is not the same they have changed it up slightly so we go one game Monday two games Tuesday two games Wednesday three games Thursday eight games Friday which is the busiest day of the entire week but we know an eight game Friday is eminently entirely streamable it doesn’t you’re not stop from doing anything on that day Saturday there are two games on they are the two NBA cup semi-finals and yes they do count so the winners of the games on Tuesday and the games on Wednesday will play on Saturday against each other that’s what happens on Saturday two guys we don’t know who they are but we know uh the pool of teams where it comes from Sundays where it gets a little bit interesting not that it matters massively for us here but there could be seven games on or there could be six games on and why is that Josh well I don’t know well I do know why but I don’t know why why there could be six or seven games on Sunday the situation in which there are six games on Sunday is as follows the Knicks the Knicks need to lose to the Hawks and the Bucks need to lose to the magic so if those two things happen we have six games on Sunday and the Knicks and Bucks makeup game happens on Monday the week after if Atlanta losers or Orlando loses on I think their games are on Wednesday there on Wednesday if they lose and the Knicks or Bucks win then we’ve got seven games Sunday so the losers on Tuesday and the losers on Wednesday will have their games rescheduled for Sunday except if it’s both the Knicks and the Bucks losing and yeah we got that part of it so while you don’t know exactly who’s playing on the Sunday you do know which team it could be Atlanta Orlando the Knicks the Bucks the Warriors the Rockets the Thunder or the Mavericks and I say all that but it doesn’t actually matter because you don’t need to prioritize NBA Cup teams there are no low or high Vol well there are low volume days every day is a low volume day there are no high volume days there are no days to avoid streaming there’s nothing like that is a very very weird week and then the week after that on the um uh just so you’re you’re aware what happens on on that Monday the 16th you’ve got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 you got six games on the Monday or maybe seven if one of them is the Knicks in the buck which is possible if they lose the quarterfinal and then Tuesday you’ve got zero and Wednesday you’ve got zero that’s what happens the week after that so I hope that’s not confusing but this is what we’ve got this week Monday one game Tuesday two games Wednesday two games Thursday three games Friday eight games Saturday 2 games Sunday either 6 or 7 games most likely seven okay so we have got in terms of your games that teams play theoretically we could have a team with three games this week we could but we might not it’s the Knicks cuz the Knicks definitely play on Monday and they definitely play on Wednesday they might play on Saturday if they win on Wednesday they might play on Sunday if they lose on Wednesday but also if Milwaukee wins but if Milwaukee loses and New York loses then the Knicks are a two- game team as well I know that is going to sound confusing but I will put this blanket statement out there don’t worry about it it doesn’t matter it it doesn’t there are it doesn’t matter the likelihood of New York playing three games is the more likely outcome because it requires has uh two of three different outcomes to come true or doesn’t require there are two two Pathways for the Knicks to play three games they win or if they lose Milwaukee wins that’s they can play that’s how they play three games that so is there is three different scenarios and in two of them the Knicks play three games and in one of those scenarios the Knicks play two games there are 18 teams currently considered to be playing eight eight uh sorry two there are 18 teams playing two games now of course that number could be different actually you know why not it can’t be it there’s all there’s definitely going to be 18 teams playing two games this week Atlanta Boston Dallas Golden State Houston Indiana the Lakers Memphis Milwaukee maybe Milwaukee’s either got two games or one game Minnesota New Orleans New York maybe they might play three games they might play two then there’s Oklahoma City Orlando Phoenix Portland San Antonio Toronto and Washington and then there are 11 teams maybe 12 playing one game Brooklyn Charlotte Chicago Cleveland Denver Detroit the Clippers Miami Milwaukee maybe now Milwaukee only plays one game if they and New York both lose uh Philadelphia Sacramento Utah so you go one game week that’s terrible and I agree it is except in a week like this where basically everybody’s playing two games it’s not as big of a deal this is why if you are playing on CBS or you’re playing on fan trcks default or you’re playing on ESPN this week stinks two games and one games stinks there’s like 25 games total this week so you you’re going to have like nothing going on TW there’s no games on so one game week is bad but it’s not as bad as it could be if other teams were playing a lot more and they aren’t we’re going to come back and go through more of this schedule stuff and I this is where I got it wrong look at that say December the 8th no no December the 8th is today that’s December 9th I got my days wrong so de December 9th through December 15th is next week today’s episode right here is brought to you by Mint mobile or as you might might say mint mobile big Wireless providers well you know what they do they’re always going to try and trick you with something when you get there you get to the store you you get your your deal and then you get your first month Bill and somehow like that price that you thought you were paying it’s way bigger why why that mmobile don’t have to worry about that they will not get you with those gotches when mmobile says $15 a month when you purchase a 3-month plan well that is exactly what they mean and it is exactly what you get say goodbye to all of those overpriced Wireless plans and their jaw-dropping monthly bills and all those weird and unexpected overages mintmobile

mintmobile.com for details all right so I am going to bang on about this so I do apologize but I I hope that you understand what we got with that schedule you have got nearly every team sorry that’s not true the majority of teams playing two games the likely situation is three games for the Knicks 18 teams playing two and 11 teams playing one that could easily turn into 19 teams playing two and um sorry no 18 teams playing two and 12 teams playing one so that’s we could either go 1 18 11 or we could do 1812 they’re the two different ways that this plays out this week that is all there is no other variance in any of this stuff and it does not matter if you are looking at an NBA Cup team that is in The Knockout round or not it does not matter everyday is streamable there is no benefit for targeting those teams unless you think wellow that’s great because well actually it might be worse because you’re streaming guys on those NBA Cup teams you would think that the coaches pulled tighter rotations more minutes to the starters so The Fringe bench guys don’t play as much at all you might see fewer minutes from bud heeld you might see John Kinga a leged new starter play fewel minutes paj jimsky fewel minutes Naji Marshall if he’s available fewel minutes um K Wallace fewel minutes if it depends if they tighten the rotations on those teams that have made it through goou badad Mo Vagner Mr Black any of those guys might see few minutes if they tighten the rotations for the teams that have made it that far let’s let’s get in now and just have a quick look at the Quality game scenario and this is where we normally look at quality games we’d look at stream Zone and all that sort of stuff but again every single day is a quality game day there is no streaming plan there’s nothing you’ve got depending again depending on your league this is where everything becomes incredibly variable I don’t know what your weekly if you’re on Yahoo you don’t get a reset of ads remember that part of it as well if you are playing on Yahoo your ads do not reset they don’t reset we talked about this last week they don’t reset if you’re on ESPN you’ve got your stand like some ESPN League standardized to seven ads so just add someone in every day there is no streaming Advantage plan this week nothing none there’s no stream Zone there’s nothing there’s nothing that happens you cannot gain any advantage this week you cannot do it there are no schedule groupings or nothing it can’t be done unless unless you’re some sort of wizard that I’ve missed something and that is you know what entirely possible there’s nothing you can do extra you just add a player if you think it’s good for you or you like the player or you think you got to get something good at that is what you do all right that is how you approach this week you can’t get bulk the bulky stuff you can get maybe is the next Monday Wednesday like that’s it I think that might be actually the only situation for the week where there’s a team that gets two games in three nights that’s not true actually because the end of the week you got the Friday uh some Friday Sunday combos so M maybe that’s what you look at is at the end of the week you you can get two games Friday Sunday with one ad that’s literally the only thing and then you’re sacrificing the games on Saturday that’s that’s it there there’s literally nothing more and I know and I’m not saying this because I’m being like a um a hater with any of this stuff not not like at all it’s more about just letting you know what the schedule’s like I I don’t actually have that much of a problem with I don’t think the NBA cup is us I think it’s actually fun I I like the courts I like the idea of the NBA cup I used to hate it before it came out and I’ve actually been really interested in it I actually don’t think it’s that bad for fantasy is what some people do I think it’s totally okay it’s okay as long as we plan around it and I believe that I planned around it okay in lock on fantasy basketb ball where I’ve got a twoe matchup that gives you five games or four games for teams and I think that’s totally good yeah I think that’s reasonable it’s a pretty it’s a it’s basically the exact same situation as the allstar break the way that I’ve set that up I think I think that is pretty good I think it’s okay to have some days where our volume is dropped a little bit and we get some time for players who are injured to get healthier we get some more time to analyze our teams to maybe make trades you’ve got more just a little breather is I think it is okay and last season I believe we had three days with zero games on this season we have two so that’s better as well that’s better this random weird Monday here is is a little strange but that’s you know that’s okay let’s um let’s take a look at some scheduling quirks the whole schedule is a quirk this week for week um week eight it’s all quirky every team that plays one game during the week doesn’t play they’re off on the weekend that is the that is the simple fact of that every one game team is off on the weekend and Toronto Toronto plays Monday in that weird Standalone um snaggletooth game Monday at New York Toronto on Monday and then Toronto plays on Thursday and then they’re off for the weekend but every one game team is off on the weekend There are 16 teams that do not play their first game until Friday remember because we’ve got one game two games two games three games that’s eight games total across the four first four days of the week it is incredibly light and I was still doing a lot of shows don’t worry and there’ll be just some different flavors of shows in there as well so yeah I’m going to be I’m going to Pro this now tell me what you think of this idea I’m going to be using this time frame where there’s fewer games I’m going to be doing some stuff like a quarter pole review of teams where we’re incorporating some Advanced stats which players are looking good which players are underperforming how do the advanced stats then say Oh that guy is actually doing worse or better than we think and can that lead to teams and regressions and all that sort of stuff reducing roles or reducing production we’re going to do that across those four days and I know that I say he what do you think of that I gave the most vague description of it because I haven’t fully figured it out myself but that’s the idea when we’re going to do like a 30 team across different shows looking at all 30 teams um bunch of different Advanced numbers and how that might be something that we can just twist or even just give our brains a little bit of a tickle to remember that something might happen weirdly there um like I said There are 16 teams that do not play until Friday and there are four teams that finish their week on Thursday now I did say earlier on that if you wanted to get any sort of stream Advantage the only way to really do it is you can get someone that plays or either the Knicks the Monday Wednesday or someone that plays Friday Sunday not really a back toback not really this huge Advantage but that is you can get two games in three days from a bunch of teams but Detroit Miami Sacramento and Toronto they are done on Thursday it is also worth mentioning that if the N Knicks and the Bucks lose on Wednesday then their week is over on Wednesday if the Knicks and the buck they both have to lose on Wednesday then they are done for the week they will not play again this week if that happens that’s why I can’t tell you if that will happen because guess what I don’t know um what about backto backs are there any NOP none none at all so any resting situations like that don’t exist what about three games in four nights Josh D no that doesn’t exist either what about a four game in six night period a five game in eight no none of this exists that’s why there’s no scheduling Advantage here for any team really at all none of that stuff is a thing um and that’s that’s it this is why this okay I’ll say it again and I’ll continue to say it the week is weird the week has very low Vo of games we adjust to it we get used to it we take some breathers save some ads for the end of the week if you want but again you can just stream every day if you want if you’ve got the ability to and if yeah if you are remember if you are in locked on Fantasy Basketball ball remember the 40 game limit applies to a 14-day period yes um we come back we’ll look at some injury updates for the week and then we’ll be out of here today’s episode

course during the week but these are guys that I do not expect to be taking the court during this week we’ll start in New Orleans I’m pretty sure we’re not seeing Zion Williamson this week but most other players there Jordan Hawkins might be back maybe not Jose alado but doesn’t really matter for most fantasy leagues most players are back in New Orleans Zack Edie and Vince Williams not sure we’re going to be well yeah very certain we’re not going to be seeing them in Memphis so your Brana Clarks and Jay Huffs and S San alas Marcus Smart all of that V continues to be up I don’t think we’re seeing him manual quickly in Toronto for this week we might not see Bruce brown but he could be back and it looks like K Lin returning too but quickly will’ll still be out and that does you give that small small boost to aaji but not enough really with other players returning Chad’s definitely out lamelo ball is probably out but there is a chance that he returns but I’m going to I’m going to assume that lamelo is out um I’m going to comfortably assume that kawh Leonard is out and buo is out so just status quo for those teams Donovan kingan will likely not be back for the Blazers Mitchell Robinson weirdly yesterday there was an injury report a couple of injury reports that came out for the Knicks that did not have Mitchell Robinson on them I it was seemingly obviously an error because then they put him back on and one of the later injury reports so just keep an eye on that but I don’t think he’s available the two Pacers guys Shephard and N Smith aren’t going to be there as well and then uh I don’t think we’re going to have Cam Thomas I don’t think we’re going to have Patrick Williams don’t think we’re going to have Max stru although that’s possible and I also don’t think we’re going to have Malcolm Brogden who did hurt his hamstring although they could change their mind on that and that might have been just a fake who knows but I’m expecting no Brogden but it’s it is possible that he plays it is possible that one’s not official there’s a bunch of guys that we just don’t know about Jordan Clarkson’s been out for like two weeks or so with a foot injury and his absence you would think would consistently boost Colin ston but not true some days it’s John juang some days it’s fima huk some days it is seon some days it’s Kia that Jazz Blazers game yesterday gave us weird lines that I tell us absolutely nothing like just one of the weirdest games no marketing the Jazz win by 40 Dre Zang drops 20 points M Luke starts seon plays 22 minutes it was just it tells us nothing um as as for marketing he was a late scratch again I I I join me to continue to say this I still get questions about this and I know not everyone who follows me or listens to every show so I’m going to try and say it as much as possible so I had someone ask me about a trade where they would receive Kawai and well embiid so bro thanks for following for the first time and tuning in for the first time ever but I would never I’m never trading for those players this season I’m not doing it at all under any circumstance I’m just within reason but I’m not I’m not doing it I’m just not doing it and the other question that I have is like well that I continue to say is like L Mark is not playing in March and April he’s he’s not going to be playing so anytime I can get a top 50 player for Market it’s why I did not touch him in any head-to-head league if I can get a top 50 play he’s out of here see you later bye and he’s already missing games now in Charlotte BD andr Nick Richards um heard his ankle last game returned to action of course and now he’s out again of course he is as is every other big man on that team outside of the legend Mark Williams so I don’t know if Richards is returning but again I will continue to bang this drum I know it is very exciting to look at someone like Richards a 27y old career backup who’s had some good games as the start of this season go well maybe it’s a real competition between him and Mark Williams I don’t believe it’s anywhere close to a competition at all so Williams is going to take that job back and Richards is going to go back to being a waiver wire player it is the OM S effect this happens all the time and I think it’s going to be the same thing with Goa beded to be honest but we’ll see Richards is out today maybe he’s back next week but you will not be I’m certain you will not be rostering Richards Long Term miles Bridges maybe at some point come back my guy I don’t know haven’t heard anything there Naji Marshall should be returning scoot Henderson dealing with his um quad issue which has been a long time as well John Isaac allegedly had a cramp in the Magic’s last game um and then then out of yeah out out of nowhere out of nowhere hamstring missed the game of course just a cramp though just a cramp obviously a cramp so enough Isaac is going to be available it seems like it smells like Joel embiid is may be returning but do you want me to put any faith in that I don’t think I can but maybe he’s back this week tamman Kamara left the last game with a foot injury and they fell apart completely if Kamar is out and you don’t get scooted back that does help like Denny AIA be possibly and likely able to move back into that starting lineup I think longterm Denny is not a 12 team guy but kamaro’s absence would help Rob Williams maybe is back from the concussion I don’t know and I I would add him if he returns um nurkic and Durant could be returning this week the plumbley uodo mix has been frustrating same as the Allen and O’Neal scenario with Durant and it’s possibly both of those are over this week if those guys return I don’t really know anything about car kmer and his rib injury um with him out it’s been a revolving door sometimes it’s Jonas valent chuna starting sometimes it’s unbelievably Marvin Begley you would hope that it’s kesa George but he’s also injured so there’s no one that I really love to Target in that spot Austin Reeves I’m also guessing returns this week T een dealing with a concussion that’s iffy that’s iffy they will play two G this week the rockets and with him out you didn’t like you saw big minutes from Jabari Smith but you didn’t see like gigantic big pickup type scenarios Andy Wiggins left the last game with an ankle which had already been bothering him um yeah like if kaminga is an interesting one like will they they claim they’re going to start him but remember if there is a team that you want to disbelieve anything that the coach says regarding lineup and Longevity it’s the Warriors oh yeah we’re going to see what kaminga can do we’re going to bring Draymond off the ground bro you have tried this with kaminga as a starter five times and Steve hates it every single time whatever foreseeable future you want to throw out there it is not going to last that is not even me saying kaminga is going to be good or bad it means that Cur is going to change his mind or someone’s going to get hurt or something so there’s no there’s no solidness solidity that none of that exists with those lineups wem’s missed the last two I I fully expect that wanyama is available to play this week but even that like you thought it might be Zack Collins and then it was Jeremy soan in one game and then it wasin the next game and then he got ejected there was 26 minutes of Goldfinger so yeah like I still think that going with Collins and Bassie in stream games when w out is the right move but it’s not foolproof and then Jaylen Brunson and KL anthy towns both actually appeared on the injury Poll for the Knicks after they played a million minutes in a game well that’s true Brunson didn’t in that game against the Hornets if they are out and remember the Knicks are the only possible team to play three games this week they might not but they’re the only team that can do it that is why we are banging on about juice McBride and Juice McBride has got enough to be a back 12 team guy anyway and now he’s got a schedule advantage and he might have no Jaylen Bronson just go and add juice MCB in fact I might just Chuck juice McBride up as the uh the old cover Athlete on this episode and that Legends is a week 8 preview calendar week eight not matchup 8 but it might be matchup eight but it might not be matchup 8 because I don’t know I don’t know what your league is it is a low volume week everyday is streamable there are no okay you depending on where you look and when you look at the numbers that I told you are correct but you will go and look in certain spots and you will not see games scheduled on the Saturday and you will not see the games all scheduled on Sunday that is because the games we don’t know who is playing but trust me there are two games on Saturday and there are either 6 or S on Sunday we just don’t know the makeup up of any of the Saturday games or some of the Sunday games we know Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday is set no changes that is the guaranteed schedule Saturday will guaranteed be two games we just don’t know who Sunday will be 6 or 7 and we know some of the games and the others we don’t the easy thing for me to tell you is the games that happen on Sunday that you don’t know about are the teams that lose on Tuesday and the teams that lose on Wednesday playing each other that’s what happens on Sunday unless it’s the Knicks in the buck and then that gamees on Monday clear I I know it doesn’t sound clear but it is not as complicated as you think it is this week it sounds complicated but it is not there are no high volume days there are no changes to the schedule that need to be made the only difference is six or seven on Sunday and we don’t know who plays Saturday that is it you don’t need to Target NBA Cup teams guys we are done and if you think that I did a good job I do too and if you think that you did a good job I do as well be positive be uplifting don’t be hard on yourselves be critical be seeking Improvement but don’t be hard on yourselves guys we are done here thank you so much for listening everyone so yeah [Music]
