play in my leagues it’s actually matchup 10 as well locked on Fantasy Basketball bow that’s okay this is week 11 of the schedule and we have to do it because of all the changes across the board and how things work otherwise there is confusion it is week 11 so let’s uh it’s actually me I’m recording this here on Sunday the 29th of December it’s actually Tik Tok day which isn’t the app the brain rot app it’s uh Tik Tok day which means hey there’s only uh 3 days left in the year you you got to get stuff done so take that as an a legit like I’m putting these like I’m just trying to you do things funny interesting make things weird on the show right and there’s like there’s always weird wonderful days across the world but this one’s actually like Tik Tok day hey yeah if you got stuff to do do it pay pay off a bill if you can uh do something enrolling for school complete an assignment whatever it is hey you’ve got to take out the trash or do the laundry or hey I should fix the door frame in my bathroom whatever it is Tick Tock the year’s almost over that’s what that means all right so we’re going to just get in here and and talk about the schedule for week 11 um it’s great it’s fantastic we have had bad schedules a lot of this time we’ve had schedules where there been Zero game days days off we’ve had schedules where there 14 game days 13 game days we don’t have any of that we got nothing low volume we got nothing high volume we have got in the true definition of the word it’s all mid and by mid I don’t mean bad I just mean mid middle median average Monday 7 games Tuesday six games Wednesday 8 games Thursday 6 games Friday N9 games Saturday N9 games Sunday six games perfect perfect for watching perfect for analyzing which you don’t care about but I do or maybe you do care about it because if it makes it easier to analyze then maybe you get more out of the shows whatever that’s what we got so easy to watch easy to analyze easy to stream easy to pay attention to Fantasy Basketball easy to set your team up correctly it’s it’s fantastic this week how many games actually have we got 21 27 36 45 51 games for the week great great number fantastic number of games during the week so we are in a very very sweet spot of the schedule you won’t always be like this I but I think the next day off that we have in terms of a zero game days is the allstar break and then we have I think there’s one other day off that we get through the rest of the year of a zero game day I think it’s at the NCAA tournament final which is in April which a lot of your fantasy leagues have stopped by then so basically no more Zero game days we’ll have some lower volume and higher volume but yeah this is a really nice run of things schedule-wise at the moment so let’s take a look at how it looks in terms of um games that teams are playing and I said there’s 51 total games for the for the week the majority of teams play three games we’ve got 13 teams that play four games we’ve got 16 teams that play three games and we’ve got one team that plays two games so the four game teams if you are watching on YouTube this is a great show also if you are new listening audio you can go double Bang the video we’ve got it up on the schedule grid and the schedule analyzer of b monster as well which is free you can go check that out too um but this is a great one to watch on online because you can see all the the things here we’re talking the week of course December the 30th through to January the 5th there are 13 teams playing four games I’ll just read them out Boston Cleveland Denver Golden State the Clippers the Lakers New Orleans New York ok City Philadelphia Sacramento Utah and Washington we’ve got 16 teams that play three that’s Atlanta Brooklyn Charlotte Chicago Dallas Detroit Houston Indiana Memphis Miami Milwaukee Minnesota Orlando Portland San Antonio Toronto and they your 16 teams and then there is one team that plays two games and that is the Phoenix Suns which is important to note because we had some news drop on the Suns and the Mavericks which I will talk about later suspensions from their altercation yesterday the other bit of news that I haven’t covered on a show yet is the Sacramento Kings firing Mike Brown I said that this this might happen apparently I actually don’t remember fully saying it but I said that there’s a lot of weird stuff it’s a horribly constructed roster and it’s been I think a terrible GM move or GM work over the last two years and I was actually critical of Monte McNair getting executive of the year I thought it was not a deserved thing even though they jumped up the standings I didn’t love the moves that he made and I’ve hated what he’s done the last couple of years I also think Mike Brown I don’t think Mike Brown’s a bad coach I think Mike Brown’s an overrated coach and I think Mike Brown made some terrible coaching decisions this season and obviously there was friction between him and the locker room right actually I might just flip this over so you can see my face as I uh as I talk about this um I think he’s made Mike br’s made some horrible coaching decisions this season I think the GM has made a terribly constructed roster in in putting two of the hardest players to build good teams around or very good teams around together in sabonis and D rozan individually they can put up numbers and they can be very good players they are almost impossible to build good teams around because of their deficiencies sabonis is a center that can’t protect the rim he can’t shoot he’s a guy that gets passes he’s a pretty good passer with a lot of his on handoff stuff he’s a strong bully rebounder but it’s impossible to build a good defense with him there and then you had a non- shooting three who also doesn’t defend in demard Rosen who needs the ball and works basically like slightly shorter damont sabonis it made no sense at all like none and now Mike Brown has CED the wrath of that now he made terrible coaching decisions Keon Alis makes sense to Fitness this guy he’s not the best player in the world he’s not even that good but the whole roster is weird and I know the people immediately want to go well now that Max uh Max Christie now that Doug Christie is the coach like what do we expect from Doug no idea Doug Christie has never been a coach in his life as a head coach so we don’t know what he’s going to do we will find out but one thing that I do know is that often especially with firsttime interim head coaches when they um take over a team there’s very little that changes immediately now we saw last season in Washington Brian Keefe did move Jordan Paul to the bench after a little bit of time and eventually P got value back and roll back at the end of the year um but it doesn’t they don’t change a huge am a lot of people go man this is going to be terrible maybe they move Malik monk back to the bench acting like Mike Brown has been the biggest proponent of Malik monk look it took three years for Mike Brown to start Malik monk so I wouldn’t say that monk was the that brown was the biggest monk supporter there it’s possible that Doug Christie is a bigger monk supporter than brown is he could also move him back to the bench Christie could also make the move and say we’re just not playing Kevin herder at all and we’re playing Keon in that role and Alice is starting and monk plays 30 Off the Bench or whatever that’s all possible but I am also pretty convinced that a lot of the things that Mike Brown did were because ownership was pushing certain directions was pushing certain guys that needed to play or you should do this or you should I’m not sure about that but I I don’t think that christe is going to come in and go man I’ve been waiting I’ve been biting my tongue this whole time now wholesale changes dear you’re benched Alice is starting and playing 33 minutes a night um I don’t think any of that stuff necessarily happening so I I don’t think this is a mus grab ke onella spot I don’t think it’s like man we got to drop Malik monk type it could be that Alice gets that thing but also remember he’s not that good he is fine he gets steals in bunches and that’s sort of what he does but the problem with his role in the Kings is the 240 game is that the minutes aren’t there you still got Hera you’ve still got monk you’ve still got D rozan you’ve still got Fox how and now you’ve got rookie Devon Carter returning how does he do enough so yeah that I I did need to address that because I hadn’t spoken about it yet about the Mike Brown firing I think again this team was incredibly overrated after getting the three seed cooked in the playoffs terrible um they got cooked they didn’t cook um terrible GM work ever since then and Mike Brown had bad moves this season bad coaching along with bad gming and it led to his downfall and of course there a dreadfully organization Vic who has no as Mike Malone says it no balls no class and when when someone goes on the record as Michael Malone did and he doesn’t hold back but still on the record to say that and it’s echoed by so many people across the league and across the industry you know it’s bad you know that the way that organization runs things is bad and they still despite it not being the malof and being Vic who is owning the team it’s still the same stuff it’s still the same bad franchise and I feel really bad for Kings fans and you you’ll be aware of this Kings fans that it is still bad it’s still a poorly run franchise despite the positives they still couldn’t figure it out and we’ll see where they go we’ll see where they go um we’ll come back and we’ll look more at the schedule for week 11 in the NBA today’s episode is brought to you by rocket RX yes

Simple wasn’t planning on doing that um King’s discussion but thought it was needed and I hope that there was something again I I don’t think there’s anything majorly actionable here as we always say if you want to get out ahead of it and try to think that Keon Ellis will do more it’s possible it’s also possible he does ABS nothing changes and he’s 19 minute ey player who’s continuing to be frustrating and I I don’t think that Mike Brown was the entirety of that problem so I don’t think that’s wow now we’re good I I don’t think that he was the entirety he’s frustrating but I don’t think that he was the entirety of that um of that issue now let’s get back into the rest of talking about uh week 11 in fantasy basketball and we’ll do that by just taking a look at how the quality game landscape looks across the League this is uh it’s pretty simple every single day is a quality game and I think you know that because there’s no days there where we play more than nine games and that’s our cut off because I’m looking at the standard 10 starters three bench 10 starters 14 uh four bench 10 and three 10 and four if you got that split and there’s a nine game day you can probably almost almost definitely find an active roster spot 10 becomes borderline 11 is sometimes doable more than that don’t worry about it you’re not getting an active spot in and you’re wasting a move replacing a one for one usually when we’re streaming what we want we want to Target volume so we want to days where we’ve got open spots where we’re not using them and we get a game in now that player might have six seven and four that’s not very good yeah but it’s better than 00 0 and unless you’re streaming in Draymond Green on that great great day who had that one the other day the uh the all zeros with one block game who was that was it nerk I think it was nage like you are getting more than that fantasy Roto Roo is as well but fantasy basketball is an accumulation game so if you get 15 fantasy points or 20 fantasy points or 6 s and four or whatever it’s better than zero it’s more than zero now you could have made better choices and got someone different to a higher number that’s all well and good but it’s you know swapping a 20 point fantasy performance I us use fantasy points in this discussion 20 point fantasy performance and getting a 23 Fantasy Point guy in they go oh he’s better doesn’t matter it’s useless it’s a waste you’re better off doing it to get value over zeros value over zeros new phrase not sure it will stick um so we know that every day is a quality game day for the week what about streaming who wants to be put in the Stream Zone well that’s where we’re going to go now and we can turn our streaming spot now most of you will play in leagues where there are restricted moves or restricted games for the week however you want to do if you’re in a games cup weekly League or games cup League like locked on Fantasy Basketball streaming is not not not important right you don’t stream in those leagues usually yes you will find guys who have got elevated value who you would choose to play in in a week so one of your better players they become one of your better players but if you’re in a league where the Restriction placed on you is in terms of how many ads you can make or even a league where there’s no restrictions which is insane but if you’re in a league where the the Restriction is ads made for is default Yahoo seven on ESPN which is way too many we turn our streaming spot into seven games this week so the value of holding on to someone say for example you’ve got a Phoenix Suns player they’ve got two games this week you’ve got Royce O’Neal you’ve been streaming in you turn that roster spot into seven games it’s just it’s way better you’ve got a fringe guy that plays three games you got a fringe guy that’s got a four game week it’s not as good as getting seven games in because even if some of those games are duds just having almost double the volume and in a lot of cases over double double the volume is where it’s important you could also look you might have two streaming spots yeah you you might consider to use that and if you got ESPN 7 acquisition limit having two streaming spots is better cuz then you can turn those two spots you can actually turn them into like 14 games additional 14 games versus like two three game players who get six it’s a huge Advantage it’s a huge Advantage um so we’re turning our streaming spot into seven games and there are two real easy ways to do it we get a Monday Tuesday back-to-back team we drop that player we get a Wednesday Thursday back-to-back player we drop that player we get a Friday Saturday back-to-back player we drop that player and then we add someone on Sunday so it’s we use all of our moves and we got seven games in that’s that’s the easy way to do it the other way to do it is you can get someone that plays uh on Monday just a single Monday stream and then you can go Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday again just adding the streams you you’ve got this is the week to really attack the backto backs cuz that is how you’re going to get seven games out of one roster slot of course if you’ve got seven moves in Espin you can just do that by streaming every single day that’s possible too but I would like to turn two spots into 14 games with that and still take advantage of the back toback that is how again you double up and get that extra value in that spot let’s um let’s go on and look at some of the quirks in the schedule for the week and this is where we will talk about which teams actually play those backto backs um but we’ll start off just by looking at which teams have the weekend off two of them do Dallas and Toronto are off in week 11 on the weekend so no Saturday Sunday games for them there are six teams actually that do not start the week until Wednesday so despite it being a seven game Monday and a six game Tuesday there are six teams that don’t play until Wednesday that’s Atlanta Brooklyn Detroit Houston Miami and Orlando so when you’re considering streamers from those teams and guys you may have held over the week through week 10 and you’re looking at the value of these guys they’re just not going to play for two days and like we just detailed you probably to get someone in early in the week to be able to provide you you know that extra value get the two two games you the two games for the price of one ad there are a few situations where teams have three-day breaks during the week the Pistons starting Sunday of week 10 they don’t play Sunday Monday Tuesday so three days off for Detroit Charlotte has three days off Tuesday Wednesday Thursday so if you have Fringe Hornets players BD andr Cody Martin they’re the major two there uh not Mark Williams not Brandon Miller not miles Bridges not lamelo B obviously they just holds anyway but they’ve got three days off and then Phoenix has no game on Wednesday Thursday Friday and of course they’ve only got a two game week it’s a bad bad schedule for Phoenix this week um but then there’s that big gap in the middle of the week we’ve also got situations that again involves all these teams where there are one game in five night stretches so between Sunday and Thursday both or all of Charlotte Detroit and Phoenix play one game in five nights between Monday Monday to Friday so the weekdays Phoenix has one game between Tuesday to Saturday Charlotte has one game and between Wednesday to Sunday to end the week Phoenix has one game so obviously these are the teams Detroit Charlotte Phoenix with the worst schedules with the big breaks with the poor periods of time for both for all of those teams and that’s how you can uh look at that if we then go to look at where we sit with the three games and in four night type scenarios if we’re looking or starting on Sunday heading through to Wednesday so that’s the Sunday of week 10 after this show we’re going to do a Sunday streaming show so Sunday through to Wednesday Toronto plays three games in four nights that is the only team that’s got that little chunk now again if your like league is in a situation where your ads instead of having four you’ve got two or you’ve got three then back Tob backs don’t work you’ve got to look more for three games in four nights to take advantage of that streaming spot so you know you’ve got um yeah Sun Sunday through Wednesday Toronto Monday through to Thursday say the Clippers and the Sixers play three games in four nights now that is important because Joel embiid means he’s going to sit one of those games Paul George might sit one of them and embiid’s already got the second injury now again with a foot issue or ankle issue whatever it is so yeah there’s going to be time there where someone like Y yabas is able to step up Tuesday through to Friday four teams have three games in four nights and you notice Toronto with a you know interesting period here we al already talked about Toronto not having a game on the weekend but that means they’ve got two three gameing for night periods busy period so Boston the Lakers the Thunder and the and the Raptors play three games in four nights between Tuesday and Friday and then Wednesday Saturday we’ve got Atlanta Brooklyn Denver Detroit Miami New York and Philadelphia and you’ll note that a lot of those teams are the same teams that I talked about that didn’t play their first game until Wednesday and then they Chunk in three games in four between Wednesday and Saturday so light into heavy um and then to end the week Thursday through Sunday we’ve got F uh four teams four teams that play three games in four nights between Thursday and Sunday to end week 11 and that is Boston it’s golden state it is the Lakers and it is the Oklahoma City Thunder I don’t know why that were granted their full name city name and nickname but that’s what I ended up doing not really sure why we got more uh more of this stuff to talk about of course because yeah that’s what we do and that will bring us I believe I think there’s some more more of the schedule quirky things to look at yes there is um four games in six nights is what we’re looking at now so again expand the time frame out this is all just a cater to different people seven ads four ads three ads two ads Roto leagues for shortterm streaming so between Sunday through to Friday bosta boster Boston Oklahoma City and Toronto play four games in six nights concentrated schedule and you will already notice we talked about this yesterday that Thunder have a five game in seven night period right so we have they are preemptively starting to rest players lud Dort case Wallis you are going to see there the team is cooking they’re very good and it is a concentrated part of the schedule so you when you have these highly concentrated parts of the schedule and I’m going to focus on the Thunder here what you often see is two things strategic rests and Boston’s one of those teams they got four and six watch for that but the Thunder there are a good team they can strategically rest players with five games in seven nights and yeah look Dort you need a game off K you need a game off um Isaiah Joe Shay Jaylen hardenstein whoever right there’ll be interesting little games off here or the other part of that is when teams have a five and seven is that by the time you get to that fifth night the team is terrible and they are absolutely exhausted and rooted and they can’t perform so even streamers on those days become useless because they’ll come in and they’ll you shoot one of 10 or the Stars will have really bad nights which is more important for DFS or for gambling purposes but it is important to note if we look Monday to Saturday there are four teams that have four games in six nights there it’s Denver it’s the Clippers it’s the Knicks and it’s the Sixers and then to end the week Tuesday the Sunday we’re talking Boston the Lakers and Oklahoma City so you’ll notice Boston again and Oklahoma City again both of those teams having compressed schedules again and they’re both awesome teams and they both know what they’re doing so just be cautious that there might be some random out of nowhere injury designations that don’t really mean anything long term but they will be prioritizing the health of their players because they want to avoid longer term injuries that is what they’ll be doing in that position there are a couple of situations here where teams play five games in eight nights we don’t often get that um we don’t have any sort of situation here where any team plays six games in nine nights so that’s a w in terms of preserving Health but it’s also like if you’re looking for that longer stream type scenario no one’s got a six game in N Night spot but there are teams with five games in eight and I already talked about starting on Saturday the Thunder had five games in seven nights so we’re expanding it out here five games in eight nights Sunday of week 10 through the final day of week 11 which is the Sunday Boston and the Thunder five games in eight Nights Watch for the rests on both of those teams and then Monday through to Monday another five game in 8 night period there are four teams that have it again very busy for these guys and there are two absolute red flag teams there the Clippers and the Sixers and by the Clippers I mean what James hardens had his injury problems but kawhai is going to return during this period as well so it’s not as big of an issue I guess because kawhai is not playing all of the time but that would be a red flag and the Sixers of course with Paul George and embiid that is a heavy load period of the schedule New York is there and Tom doesn’t care what it could mean is that by the end of that period that some of the Knicks players are maybe flagging somewhat and just watch Brunson I believe he popped up on the injur report with a questionable tag too and I know that he’s been dealing with foot and ankle problems all season the last one there is your new look Kings maybe same look Kings but at least a Kings team with a different coach and they’ve got a busy five game in8 night period here uh coming up if we take a look at the backto backs again when we talk about the streaming portion of the stream Zone earlier in the show we wanted to focus on you’re getting backto backs in so if you’re going to use the Monday Tuesday combination you want to start with a Cleveland and or Clippers player now that can become hard to do although not not really actually there are there are plenty of options Clippers Chris Dunn absolutely stands out like dogs balls right that is a huge option he’s playing a lot of minutes and he’s putting up pretty good numbers but you could look at um uh Derek Jones as an option there Kevin Porter is dealing with an illness so he becomes a little bit more riffy but Chris Dunn really does stand out if you’re getting deeper and desperate you can look at Nick Batum as someone in that spot and then Cleveland there’s a lot of guys and we’ve had this issue with Cleveland it’s like are they good enough to hold probably not but Caris like Max streu won’t play both but Caris Dean Wade Sam Merill probably not milk but maybe but the those other three really interesting names if you’re going to use the other one where you do a singular stream on Monday and then you go Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday for you back toback just be aware that the only Tuesday Wednesday team is Toronto now that doesn’t there’s not options there CU there are Kelly linck jacobe Walter maybe if he’s back Jamal shed or davier Mitchell see how that rotation plays out OA abaji great a dick John mobo Chris bue there’s some ify ones but you got options there Wednesday Thursday Brooklyn Miami Philadelphia have the back toback of course where Ben Simmons is going to probably sit although they they were teasing that he might play some back-to-backs but watch that one Miami well I don’t know how how Jimmy Butler’s condition is going to be maybe he’s available I don’t know and Philadelphia of course it’s embid and Paul George Thursday Friday Boston the Lakers and the Thunder we’re just Al Horford clearly pingers clearly are going to sit watch for Holiday watch for white watch for Tatum the Lakers ad and LeBron you got to watch those ones and then the Thunder again a busy period so just don’t be shocked if on either Thursday or Friday some of the bigger name Thunder players are sitting out one of those games would not be shocked at all in fact I’d be expecting it Friday to Saturday is another one of those um back-to-backs you can use if using my first plan in the Stream zone so it’s Atlanta Denver Detroit Memphis New York York San Antonio that is where you get the largest range of back-to-back teams and in terms of guys to avoid there well Memphis can become risky but it’s usually okay uh don’t think there’s any worry really in San Antonio or any of those other teams so it’s a pretty good area to get a lot of bulk games in and then if you’re doing the second stream Zone option it’s just Golden State and Utah is the only two teams who play the weekend backto back which you could be um considering to stream in those guys and we know the Warriors sat Stephen Draymond in their last back toback they could do it there which would open up a lot for psky theoretically for schroer but I guess not uh kaminga Jackson Davis who cooked in the last game as well some options uh there with different Players let’s let’s move out of that and have a look at injured players and guys that we don’t think are going to play at all this week and guys where there’s some uncertainty in their status and we’ll just start with a lot of these the the names that aren’t going to play this week and you of course it’s Luka donic we know that he is out until February most likely pan KO the injury designation from him is moved away from torn oblique until return to injury or return from injury conditioning or whatever it is management something like that means he’s almost back right so I don’t think pyo’s going to play this week but I reckon the beginning of week 12 we’re bang and ready to go France is still going to be out I’m expecting an end of January return there I expected Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson will both be out this week but I guess there’s a small chance that Zion returns but if if there’s ever a small chance of Zion doing anything you just assume that he won’t and the other one of course there is Chad hren on this list who of course he’s 100 % not going to play the next list of guys that aren’t going to play that you might not think they’re important but they do have importance in terms of fantasy value Vince Williams KJ Martin in Philadelphia Mitch Robinson Trey man buan bogdanovich Isaac aoro they might not be guys that we care about in 10 or 12 team leagues as a general rule but them being out means other people can do more like Jake laravia in Memphis and Kay Le Barton and prea and you Trey man doesn’t really open up much for anything but bogdanovich helps with Clowny and Vinnie Smiths and aoro helps your stues and the verts and all that so they don’t have that impact themselves but then being out means others are able to have more sustained impact and now we come to the suspensions now I’m not going to I I’m not going to talk about but I’m going to talk about the fact that I’m not going to talk about it because I don’t have his name on the list PJ Washington because he is suspended for only one game but that doesn’t actually count for week 11 he’s going to miss the game on Saturday duee to his part in allegedly you know firing up the altercation was it egging what what the uh you escalation that’s the word the two suspensions are Naji Marshall for four games for swinging a punch at Yousef nich and for apparently trying to get at him in the locker room after the game and then nkic has three games for slapping Naji Marshall that means that both of these guys are out for the entirety of week 11 they’ll be both back for week 12 now nurkic only they only had two games so he misses one in week 10 and two in week 11 and then we’re done so you’d immediately go well who’s the ad who do I stream is it Mason plumbley but again they’ve got two games and no nothing you don’t do anything with that you stream them individual days sure but no you don’t do anything the Marshall one just means that our dty and Grimes values has to rise it has to because Marshall started the last game so he’s not going to do that so one of dini and Grimes is probably going to start it means that if you are in a double Onyx diamond platinum titanium League that Jaden hard is probably going to have to play a little bit more or even Olivier Maxon prosp may have to do a little bit more but Marshall out all the week means a grind and deny are going to have to do more they are going to play more their minutes values are more secure now that Nai is not there now we get through a bunch of players where I think there’s a chance they play this week now there was a flood of players who got knocked with questionable tags uh for the weekend I’m not going to include a lot of those players because at the moment they haven’t missed time these are more guys who have been out and might return teren man he might be back but the big one for the Clippers he’s going to be kawhai landed and it appears that Kawai will return I Believe on Saturday Saturday of week 11 Kawhi will return now of course that does not mean that he’s ready to go and playing big minutes immediately it does not mean that he stays healthy but it looks like Kawai will be ready to go on Saturday after Ty told us he was ready for training camp and here we are yeah and that’s why again they’re all liars don’t believe them at all but you know that is allegedly the target target is Saturday again after being ready for training camp so Kawai we’re looking at Saturday um Christian Wood might be back do I care probably not Jose Alvarado might be returning I don’t think there’s going to be enough minutes there for him to matter but he might be returning Deon Booker and Grayson Allen debatable debatable whether they’re they’re back Allen with a concussion and book with the groin it’s possible they’re back there’s only two games though for them it’s possible they’re back for the second game of the week um Z Williams and cam Thomas in BOS in Brooklyn maybe they’re available to return and of course that would impact a ton especially Thomas cuz it just means shots start to go to him we saw Shake Buon pop off last game but he might have Thomas and Simmons both back in that lineup impacting him but it is something to just keep in your head him and Keon Johnson both played well but it could really disappear here Marcus Smart and Santi odama I expect they’re out to begin the week maybe they’re back towards the end of the week in Memphis Aaron Gordon I actually think he probably misses most of the week but there’s a chance he’s back at the end they started Westbrook but it didn’t really matter in terms of Payton Watson he still got close enough to start as minutes to be a 12 team League option and then Aaron n Smith I expect that he’s returning during this this week we don’t have anything really clear on it but it feels like he’d be available there jar Hur his shoulder in yesterday’s game they said he’d be evaluated in a couple of days which is a really weird way to do it like if your star player got hurt why would just say ah we’ll just check on it soon wouldn’t you get it evaluated immediately but Memphis honestly is the worst injury team in the NBA they’ve overtaken Charlotte by a mile they are the worst absolutely the worst so them saying we’ll evaluate in a couple of days it it could actually be true or they’re once again just lying and they do that all the time it doesn’t make any sense that that is what they would do but Mor is going to miss time uh Emanuel quickley might be returning maybe andar kongu should be maybe ready to come back uh Bogdan bogdanovich has missed a couple here for the Hawks where I assume he’s going to be available to play Alex Caruso with the hip strain they got a really busy part of the schedule they’re going to be really cautious with him but I think he can come back and aumu has missed a couple of games here with an Achilles issue for Chicago I expect that he and Josh giddy will be available and ready to go as well ma maybe kyl kma’s back I I don’t know keontay George has missed a few so I would expect he returns it could be yaka purle getting back to action Chris porzingis with the ankle issue they do have that busy schedule period and a back toback so he’s going to miss some time but I think he’ll be available Jim Butler hope he hope he hasn’t lost too much of that um conditioning and hope he’s you still got the level of fitness with him after that horrific bout of col I hope he’s good to go and John Collins missed has missed some time as well for the Jazz and he likely would be back I’m guessing during this week if we go and and we will go to look at weekly leagues so these are leagues where you set your lineup once a week I’m going to give you a few names there who are available in over 60% of Yahoo leagues that I think I think you added them you’d probably start them this week due to the schedule remember it is 13 teams playing four games meaning the majority plays three so a four game player has a little bit of extra value and there are three real names at the top I want to highlight there Kelly UB I know he’s been bad Malcolm Brogden and Chris Dunn four games for those guys value enough that I think you would start them now the next three names on this list are all four game guys as well the reason I say they’re a little bit iffy is that at the moment lud Dort and case Wallace the Hong Kong mattress and again here is the definitive case and Wallace Hong Kong matches nickname explanation if anyone wants it and they you ask all the time I’ve done it before this is the second time I’ll do this explanation and I probably won’t explain it again otherwise it would just be a mystery when Cas Wallace was drafted something happened at some point where someone said hey no his name’s not actually kase it’s kasan and I was like what why okay all right we’re going call him kasan or yeah kesan okay it’s kasan which now there’s a very famous Australian song by the band Cold Chisel called kasan and the lead lead singer of the band Cold Chisel is actually Jimmy Barnes the screaming Cowboy from the Harrison Barn song but anyway that’s a separate point but one of the lines in kesan the song is about a hong H Kong mattress a song about the Vietnam War but it’s about one of the literally a phrase in the song is Hong Kong mattress and it’s a well-known phrase out of that song So Cas Wallace who allegedly for about a week was called kasan Wallace um became the Hong Kong mattress and when I was used to play The Sounds I’d play a little excerpt from kasan as the music Stinger for KAS Wallace and so now he just called the Hong Kong mattress done explanation good just look up the lyrics to kasan k k h e s a h is the name of the song if you want have a look at it so K Wallace and L Dort they’ve already started wrestling those guys so I that’s why I say they’re iffy but they got four games and if they’re available to play they’re great the other one is Jordan Clarkson the Jazz have four games but am I going to trust that Jordan planta fastis Clarkson is going to play they’ll just sit him every five minutes it appears he’s just going to have random injuries when they if they’re playing a bad team he’ll probably see it so yeah it looks great four games Jordan Clarkson you take the ups and the Downs you get the volume in but what if you plays three what if you plays two I think that’s really a distinct possibility unfortunately lastly what do we do with Phoenix players who is startable who isn’t because they’re the two game team for this week well if you’ve got Kevin Durant you start him you start Kevin Durant even in a 10 Team league I would probably start Kevin Durant I would not touch Devin Booker I would not touch Grayson Allen and obviously not starting use of nurkic because he’s not playing at all this week and I think there’s a chance that Booker and Allen don’t play either so you don’t touch either of those guys the other names Bradley Beal I would only start in like a 16 Team league you could stretch it to 14 maybe and then tus Jones and Royce O’Neal I would consider startable in a 20 Team league oh 18 18 team leagues even exist maybe 18 but a 20 Team league for Royce O’Neal and tyus Jones and that Legends is the end of the week 11 preview show I hope you got something interesting out of it whether it was a Hong Kong mattress explanation whether it was my take on the Kings or it was the way that we play the schedule this week I hope there was something useful in there for you if you want to do something useful here you double bang and you do the audio on the video and you share it and you tell your friends and all of that stuff but also just do something good for me by doing something good for you getting close to the end of the year this is an easy task you might think it’s hard but it’s an easy task look back at all of 2024 one thing just find one thing that you are proud of for the year and then you can build on if you want just find one thing and sit on it and sit there for don’t sit on it five minutes think about it and go yeah that was good yeah I cooked guys we are done here thank you so much for listening everyone see you [Music]
