The same hype. It ain't predictions, just structured winning mindset.
14
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.680
As you know, numbers over narrative. Let's gonna get into it.
15
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.840
Top Performers of the Week E Team of Week eighteen.
16
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.079
Now that it was a weird week two weeks in
17
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.680
the matchup because of the All Star break. But because
18
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:26.120
of that, you know what I'm saying, we saw some
19
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.680
people get aft it go crazy at the guard position.
20
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.840
First new blood on the list, k Cunningham from the
21
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.959
Detroit Pistons. Detroit Basketball is back seventy five and a
22
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.159
half fantasy points in week eighteen, the boy average thirty points,
23
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.319
eight and a half rebounds, thirteen assists, one steal in
24
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.799
two and a half blocks a game. That's kind of
25
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:52.359
crazy to me, you know what I'm saying. At the
26
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.280
guard position to get that kind of work. Four three's
27
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.599
made a game in both games and he only had
28
00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:58.840
two games a Week eighteen.
29
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.159
Had an eighty three point fantasy game against the Knicks.
30
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.400
We had forty two points, eight rebounds, thirteen assists in
31
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.039
that game. First time on the list this season, but
32
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.840
he looking like he might be the league MVP. So
33
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.800
gonna lock that in k Cunningham at the four position.
34
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.159
Polo ban Caro from the Orlando Magic fifty three and
35
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.199
a half fantasy point average in Week eight team had
36
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.400
for their more fantasy points in four his last six games.
37
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.199
He been on another level, you know what I mean, balling.
38
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.919
He averaged twenty eight points, nine and a half rebound,
39
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.800
seven assists, two and a half blocks in Week eight.
40
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.919
Team Polo steadi as they come, though we already know
41
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.759
that that's his first time on this list this season, though,
42
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.039
so keep looking for him to do more work going
43
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.080
into the playoffs or the Fantasy playoffs rather and at
44
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:51.000
the center position vigdor Winbin Young. He been a top
45
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.080
dog all season at at the center spot. You know
46
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.479
what I'm saying, sixty six fantasy point average in Week
47
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.879
eight team doing major work average twenty two and a
48
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.960
half points, thirteen rebounds, five assists, one steal in four
49
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.520

50
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.800
fantasy point game against the Sacramento February twenty first. He
51
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.319
finished that game with twenty eight points, fifteen rebounds, six assists,
52
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:22.039
one steal in four blocks. Strong numbers, strong leadership. Let's
53
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:26.520
go and see what we got next. Fantasy league shot out.
54
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.680
I want before we go in the pickups, I like
55
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.599
to highlight, you know, our league community shot somebody out
56
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.039
who doing their thing over the season. You know what
57
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:36.879
I mean, whether it's a good way of a move,
58
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.800
you know, high score, whatever the case may be. Uh,
59
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:45.039
this week I got three actually though. Uh. First off,
60
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.639
I want to shout out the manager Espo. You see Rya,
61
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:54.719
he played Pop Circle. The manager of Pop Circle. Eastpo
62
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.960
was the top score of the league in Week eighteen
63
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.159
or that's the Awestar matchup. So it was a two
64
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.759
week matchup. Over the two weeks, you see he grabbed
65
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.680
seventeen eleven, so his squad just went crazy. You see,
66
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.080
he got Pazemski. He doing management work and you know,
67
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.159
ad players off the waivers, you know, doing his thing.
68
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.000
But the best matchup. I got to shout it out
69
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.800
just because of how close it was. The managers of
70
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.639
Waiians and Beast Bullies, you know what I mean. They
71
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:29.040
had a crazy, crazy game as you see a seven
72
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.560
point a seven point dug for why Ens. You know
73
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.920
what I'm saying, some playoff positioning on the line for
74
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:37.560
the manager of Whiiens.
75
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.199
He's still in the running for that buy Beast Bullies.
76
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.839
Luckily he got the by locked up for his division,
77
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.560
so he good the loss, but you know, I'm sure
78
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.879
he wanted to get that dub. But that loss right there,
79
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.319
that's tough. Seven points over the course of two weeks.
80
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.839
That's frustrating, but it is what it is.
81
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:57.480
It's all about the management work.
82
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:02.319
Sometimes it go your way, sometimes it so to recap,
83
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.480
I wanted to shout out manager Espo. He was actually
84
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.439
on here on the episode, the ALLSTO episode actually, so
85
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.480
check that out. We talked about the season, the playoffs
86
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.519
and who we go, who we think gonna finish crazy
87
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.800
top score East Bow then the best matchup manager of
88
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.360
Beast Bullets and y NS. A salute to y'all. Shout
89
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.439
out to y'all for that. Y'all. Y'all keep the league competitive,
90
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.800
and that's what we're here for to put in work,
91
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:29.959
all right.
92
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.000
So I'm going to the waiver of wise school. Uh.
93
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.720
You know, First up, I got you know, a couple
94
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.279
of people. I got a few people. I got two
95
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.759
at each position or two at each spot. You know
96
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.199
what I'm saying. This segment really about opportunity, not hype,
97
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.560
just major opportunities up ahead. We're looking for who balling,
98
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.439
who can help us get you know, make that playoff push.
99
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.800
We're looking for dependable minutes, people who can repeat, they
100
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.560
peap repeat their production. You know what I'm saying. That's
101
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:01.680
that's that they can sustain the production. We ain't chasing names,
102
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.800
we ain't chasing the role. We're looking for opportunity over reputation.
103
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.519
As you see. First step, Scott at Pippin Jr.
104
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:13.279
From the Memphis Grizzlies nineteen percent roster excuse me, seventeen
105
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.199
percent roster made a season debut February six. He only
106
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.600
got four games this season, but in them four games,
107
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.040
though he doing work, he averaged a thirty one point
108
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.959
three fantasy point game, I mean fantasy points over the
109
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.600
course of the season or the course of his season.
110
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.680
And he doing that in twenty minutes. You know what
111
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:31.079
I'm saying.
112
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.519
He getting twelve and a half points, one and a
113
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:35.879
half rebounds. You know, you don't love that, but four
114
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.959
point eight assists, one and a half threes made a game.
115
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.600
He only played one game in Week eighteen, but he
116
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:45.920
had forty fantasy points in that one eighteen points, three rebounds,
117
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.160
six assists, two steals in one block versus Miami on
118
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.040
February twenty first, he a great ad, you know what
119
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.120
I mean. And one more thing I want to add
120
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.839
to the Grizzlies got four games this week in Week nineteen,
121
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.160
so he got a lot of opportunities, you know, go
122
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:01.759
crazy to get some more production.
123
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:02.399
Uh.
124
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.879
I did a thread on them on X A lot
125
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.839
of people hurt from Memphis. So Scotty Pippen Junior got
126
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.920
a lot of great opportunity up ahead for him. Make
127
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.720
sure y'all check him out, all right. And then I
128
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.040
got the Anthony Melton from the Golden State Warrias. Uh.
129
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.360
You know, I spoke about him. I spoke about they
130
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.040
Wings on a mid week Hustle episode early in the
131
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:29.800
season when Jimmy Butler went down and created a lot
132
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.199
of opportunity for people. You know what I'm saying, it's
133
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.040
one of those guys that the opportunity worked out for.
134
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:36.639
He's still three.
135
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.560
Point eight percent roster, so he widely available in ESPN leagues.
136
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.680

four threes, made a game in twenty two minutes a game.
140
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.879
On the year, he had a solid Week eight team.
141
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.279
Actually he had a great Week E team where he
142
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.800
avert started the three fantasy points a game. He only
143
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.759
had two games that week, but he averaged nineteen nineteen
144
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.000
points that is, three and a half rebounds, one point
145
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.279
five assists, two and a half steals, and two may
146
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.399
threes a game in the week he did his thing nineteen.
147
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.439
That ain't nothing to scot fort you know, go to

00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.519
He got solid opportunity. You know what I mean, three.
151
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.680
Games, so make sure y'all add him now. The Anthony

00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:32.960
Melton from the Golden State Warriors. Chris Middleton from my MAVs.
153
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.559
It's funny though unfortunately we ended up trading Luca for
154
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.120
Chris Middleton. But shout out to Chris Middleton though for
155
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:43.399

most of them those stats, most of that work was
161
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.639
done in Washington, but in two games in Week eighteen,
162
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.519

00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:34.360
seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, three threes. Made that game,
171
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.840
and with all the injuries that we got, you know
172
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:39.519
what I'm saying, the All Star break looks like it's
173
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.120
done well. So make sure y'all able to stream him now,
174
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.000
because he really putting in work. He doing his thing.
175
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:50.120
Chris Middleton from the Dallas MAVs. I got another warrior
176
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:55.960
up here. GWe Santos again. He another one I discussed
177
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.440
on an earlier Meal We Hustle episode because of the
178
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:00.720
Jimmy but injury.
179
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.480
But here we are. You know what I'm saying, time
180
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:06.360
is gone and he doing his thing.
181
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.519
You know what I'm saying, He's still only thirteen point
182
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.879
seven percent roster, so he wildly available. Now this is
183
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.480
season average, so it don't look as crazy. But fifteen
184
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:18.279
and a half Fantasy points, six point two points, three rebounds,
185
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.600
one point six assists, and one three made the game.
186
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:21.080
On the year.
187
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.200
However, you know.
188
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.720
What I'm saying, since Jimmy had gone down, he're looking
189
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.679
like he extremely state candidate. He averaged forty Fantasy points
190
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:36.799
a game. In Week eighteen, he averaged seventeen points five
191
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.519
and a half rebounds, four and a half assists, one
192
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:42.799
and a half still and three and a half threes.
193
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.080
Made a game in week eighteen, had a forty two
194
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:51.159
point fantasy game against Denver yesterday Sunday. He got three
195
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.000
games a week nineteen. As I already stayed with Melton
196
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.120
with the Warriors, you know what I'm saying, So this
197
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.159
upcoming week is a great time the audition. We and
198
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.000
see if he that can stay on your squad. He's
199
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:06.559
doing his thing. You know, the production there, the production there,
200
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:07.960
so make sure y'all check him out.
201
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:12.440
We Santos from the Golden State Warriors. He got another math.
202
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.960
On the list.
203
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.159
I know it seemed like I'm being a little biased,
204
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:15.840
and maybe I am.
205
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.559
I don't know, but these boys hooping though, these boys
206
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.120
hooping though it might not translate the wins, but they hooping.
207
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.600
Marvin Bagler the third, You know what I'm saying.
208
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.440
He ten percent roster, twenty three point one fantasy point
209
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.919
average on the season, ten point three points, six point
210
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:34.120
one rebounds, one point four assists, half of stell point
211
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:35.000
seven blocks.
212
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.360
So he's closer to getting more than he not. You
213
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:38.720
know what I'm saying. He done a lot of that
214
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:40.440
with Washington. You know what I'm saying.
215
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:44.159
But he averaged thirty Fantasy points in Week eighteen, average
216
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.759
thirteen and a half points, twelve rebounds in twenty five
217
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:52.399
minutes in Week eighteen. That solid production, a double double.
218
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.639
You can't beat that. Bagley been putting up solid numbers
219
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.240
since he been in Dallas. Make sure y'all check him
220
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.000
out because he's really doing it. As you can see
221
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.559
right here. He's not available in my league, you know,
222
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:06.639
because they're not sleep So make sure y'all check out
223
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.960
Marvin Bagley Man. He been doing his thing since he's
224
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.039
been in Dallas, especially for Fantasy wise. He can help
225
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.600
you get to the playoffs, help you get a championship.
226
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:18.320
That's what we're here for, to get dubs. Next up,
227
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.080
it's Jalen Smith. Now, ain't gonna lie. I watched him
228
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.759
play last night against the Knicks. He did leave that
229
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.399
game with some calf sore on this so you know,
230
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.759
if he available to play, make sure y'all add him.
231
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:32.600
And if he not available, I'm gonna hit y'all with
232
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.159
that replacement on the mid week up with Week Hustle episode,
233
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.440
So make sure y'all tap in and check that out.
234
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.519
But Jalen Smith from the Chicago Bulls, He's sixteen point
235
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.879
one percent roster, twenty four fantasy points a game over
236
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:49.279
the course of the season ten point three points, seven rebounds,
237
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.639
one point three assists, zero point eight blocks, one point
238
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.480
six three's made a game. On the year, he averaged
239
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.240
thirty two Fantasy points a game in Week eighteen, though
240
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.600
since the Bulls have trade Busevich, Jalen Smith has been
241
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.159
averaging over thirty fantasy points. You know he getting that
242
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.360
by getting twelve points, seven point eight block excuse me,
243
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.720
seven point eight rebounds, one point three steals, one block,
244
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.159
one point three one point five three's made a game.
245
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.600
And he during the he had three games in week
246
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.360
eight team he got three gays in week nineteen. But
247
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.399
like I say, he left the game last night. So
248
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:25.480
if he if he's not healthy, I'm gonna get you
249
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:29.200
out with that replacement. But if he's healthy, stream this guy.
250
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:33.519
Stream this guy. Since they traded us, the opportunity is there.
251
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:39.000
He doing this thing he bothering Check him out? All right,
252
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:42.000
here we are we at the point of the show
253
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.960
where I give y'all my sleeper pick again. Another math
254
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:49.120
I spoke about Max Christial a good bit this year though. Uh,
255
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:51.480
like I said, he one of my favorite players. Man,
256
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:55.000
I feel like, you know, you know, productivity, bro, He
257
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:57.159
really do a little bit of everything. You know what
258
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:01.159
I'm saying. He really he really good, He really good.
259
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.720
It ain't it really about flash. It's really about time
260
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:06.879
and an opportunity. And time and an opportunity right now
261
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:09.759
for Max Christie is on point, you know what I'm saying.
262
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.639
His contributions can and will swing a matchup.
263
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.320
Twenty four point three Fantasy points a game over the
264
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.720
course of the season, you can see that right there.
265
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.279
Thirteen point three points a game, three point four rebounds,
266
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.399
two point three assists, two and a half threes made
267
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.759
a game, and just under thirty minutes a game. But
268
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:32.039
in his last five games, he's averaging thirty Fantasy points
269
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:33.519
in his last five games.
270
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:34.519
So a little.
271
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.799
Uptick from his regular season stats is you know, his production.
272
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.120
He been playing great, you know what I'm saying. He
273
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.519
even had twenty five Fantasy points in a game where
274
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.159
he only scored five points, but he was doing so
275
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.519
much other things on the stat sheet to show up.
276
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.279
He's still productive. He getting steals, he can get you
277
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.039
a block, he can hit the three, get assists, get rebounds.
278
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.360
He really he played hard. You know what I'm saying.
279
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.399
The MAVs got four games and we nineteen. So keep
280
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.399
that in mind with Bagley Middleton and this guy. You
281
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:07.080
know what I'm saying. We play the nets Kings, the
282
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.759
Grizzlies in the Thunder. Three of those four are teams
283
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:13.919
that's in the lot of it, just like us. So
284
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.080
make sure you know you take advantage of these opportunities.
285
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.000
If y'all right there on the cuffs, you know, to
286
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.519
make the playoffs, you can stream some guys, get some dubs,
287
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.720
get in. Then from there it's up. You know what
288
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.159
I'm saying. He thirteen percent roster, so he's still a
289
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.960
majority available. So hey, he another waiver wire guy, another
290
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.440
hustler's pick up, a guy. You know what I'm saying,
291
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.360
that's my end of zone sleeper pick because people know
292
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.799
he can hoop. But I don't think people really you
293
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:44.039
know obviously, you know you ain't seeing the maps that
294
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:47.960

00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.559
a manager in my league already got him. So he
299
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.759
saw the value, he grabbed him, and he's in the playoffs.
300
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.399
He clinched his playoffs this week.
301
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.440

307
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.240
I throw away the key. I'm throwing away to Keyon
308
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:34.279
Jared Allen. And it's crazy because you look at his numbers.
309
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:36.720
That ain't crazy. You ain't. You ain't.
310
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:39.840
You ain't really wild a boy him.
311
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:40.399
This is what he do.
312
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.759
He's steady. You know what I'm saying. He do what
313
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:47.399
he do, He do his thing. But this is why
314
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.480
I grab, This is why he's my you know.
315
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:51.759
Lock pick who I thought? You know who I'm throwing
316
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:58.000
away to Keyon James Harden And it's the second person
317
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:01.080
I locked on since James Harden with Cleveland. I had
318
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.319
Donovan Mitchell a couple of weeks ago. Look at Jared
319
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:06.759
Allen stats. He all in nineteenth at his position, so
320
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.160
he ain't a top dog. Fourteen point eight points, eight
321
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.039
and a half rebounds to assist one still point nine
322
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:17.240
blocks over the season. Great sat, solid stats, great player,
323
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.960
you know, great team player. His play going up another
324
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.359
level since they got hardened. You know what I'm saying.
325
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:27.039
He only scored below thirty Fantasy points since hardness has
326
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.599
got you know, since they got hardened. They five and
327
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:32.160
one since the trade they first lost with yesterday against
328
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:36.400
the Thunder, He's averaging forty and a half Fantasy points
329
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:41.039
since the trade. Crazy enough, you know what I'm saying.
330
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.559
He's still nine percent of AIL eight percent available in
331
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.920
ESPN leagues, so he available in YO league. You need
332
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.880
to find a way to make some room for this dude, Harden.
333
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:55.079
We know he a great passer, he a great score
334
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.480
and it's looking like since he been in Cleveland he
335
00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:59.480
ain't looking to score as much as he had to
336
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:04.079
in the past. So Jared Allen is a great lock
337
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.119
pick for this very reason.
338
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:09.559
His players gone up since harving't been there. He doing
339
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:10.039
his thing.
340
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.000
The stats are there, the production is there, the data
341
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:17.160
is there, don't sleep on them. That's my lock pick,
342
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.440
and that's why I throw away the key on Jared Allen.
343
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.400
You know what I'm saying, So make sure y'all tap in.
344
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.200
Let me know who y'all locking it in here? We
345
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:29.079
are we at the last part Fantasy Community of Debate.
346
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.079
You know what I'm saying. As I started off the show,
347
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.920
you know, we talked about playoffs. We pick a topic
348
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.920
when we close the show with a bowld conversation. For me,
349
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.079
this bold conversation right now is right on point. We
350
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:48.079
got two more matchups in my league playoff prep Are
351
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.680
you stacking your roster with the best available? Are you
352
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:55.799
still streaming players? I know for me it depends. I
353
00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:58.440
like to keep one spot. I like to keep one
354
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.440
streaming spot of available because of how to schedule work
355
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.559
everybody on play every night. I like to get some
356
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:10.319
type of production every single night. You know, I had
357
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.720
a situation in my league where Myles Bridges became available.
358
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.599
I know the suspension probably hurt, you know, for that
359
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:23.039
manager to drop them.
360
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:24.440
But Myles Bridges became available. I had a grabb You
361
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:24.920
know what I'm saying.
362
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.920
It's hard to get thirty points and it's a point production,
363
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.720
especially at this point in the year, you know what
364
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.400
I mean, It's hard to do. So for me, I
365
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.839
like to at least keep one streaming spot. I usually
366
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.960
use two streaming spots, you know what I mean. But
367
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:46.160
if somebody like Bridges, somebody dak callib become available, I
368
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:49.039
could sacrifice one of those spots for a guy like Bridges.
369
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.440
He projected to come back tomorrow, I believe, yeah, tomorrow
370
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.960
to twenty fourth February, twenty fourth Tuesday, you know what
371
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.839
I mean. So I think when it comes to playoff prep,
372
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.759
you know, when you on you right there on.
373
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:03.680
The cuffs, you gotta do what you gotta do to
374
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:04.559
get the most points.
375
00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:06.799
If you in category at leads, you gotta do what
376
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.039
you gotta do to stream to get the most production
377
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:12.880
in that category to get a d UG.
378
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:17.319
So, you know, let me know what y'all think. What's y'all?
379
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.559
What's when it comes to playoff prep? Are y'all stacking
380
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:24.160
or are you streaming? Are you still streaming? You know
381
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.200
as much as possible, is that your way to get points?
382
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.839
Are you cool with if you if you stream somebody
383
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:31.960
and you lose that or you drop a person that
384
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.319
really ain't streamable. Are you cool with losing it?

The same hype. It ain't predictions, just structured winning mindset.
14
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.680
As you know, numbers over narrative. Let's gonna get into it.
15
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.840
Top Performers of the Week E Team of Week eighteen.
16
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.079
Now that it was a weird week two weeks in
17
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.680
the matchup because of the All Star break. But because
18
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:26.120
of that, you know what I'm saying, we saw some
19
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.680
people get aft it go crazy at the guard position.
20
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.840
First new blood on the list, k Cunningham from the
21
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.959
Detroit Pistons. Detroit Basketball is back seventy five and a
22
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.159
half fantasy points in week eighteen, the boy average thirty points,
23
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.319
eight and a half rebounds, thirteen assists, one steal in
24
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:50.799
two and a half blocks a game. That's kind of
25
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:52.359
crazy to me, you know what I'm saying. At the
26
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.280
guard position to get that kind of work. Four three's
27
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.599
made a game in both games and he only had
28
00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:58.840
two games a Week eighteen.
29
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.159
Had an eighty three point fantasy game against the Knicks.
30
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:05.400
We had forty two points, eight rebounds, thirteen assists in
31
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.039
that game. First time on the list this season, but
32
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.840
he looking like he might be the league MVP. So
33
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.800
gonna lock that in k Cunningham at the four position.
34
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:20.159
Polo ban Caro from the Orlando Magic fifty three and
35
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.199
a half fantasy point average in Week eight team had
36
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.400
for their more fantasy points in four his last six games.
37
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.199
He been on another level, you know what I mean, balling.
38
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.919
He averaged twenty eight points, nine and a half rebound,
39
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.800
seven assists, two and a half blocks in Week eight.
40
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.919
Team Polo steadi as they come, though we already know
41
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.759
that that's his first time on this list this season, though,
42
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.039
so keep looking for him to do more work going
43
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.080
into the playoffs or the Fantasy playoffs rather and at
44
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:51.000
the center position vigdor Winbin Young. He been a top
45
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.080
dog all season at at the center spot. You know
46
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.479
what I'm saying, sixty six fantasy point average in Week
47
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.879
eight team doing major work average twenty two and a
48
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.960
half points, thirteen rebounds, five assists, one steal in four
49
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.520
and a half blocks. He even had a seventy four
50
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.800
fantasy point game against the Sacramento February twenty first. He
51
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.319
finished that game with twenty eight points, fifteen rebounds, six assists,
52
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:22.039
one steal in four blocks. Strong numbers, strong leadership. Let's
53
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:26.520
go and see what we got next. Fantasy league shot out.
54
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.680
I want before we go in the pickups, I like
55
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.599
to highlight, you know, our league community shot somebody out
56
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.039
who doing their thing over the season. You know what
57
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:36.879
I mean, whether it's a good way of a move,
58
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:40.800
you know, high score, whatever the case may be. Uh,
59
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:45.039
this week I got three actually though. Uh. First off,
60
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.639
I want to shout out the manager Espo. You see Rya,
61
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:54.719
he played Pop Circle. The manager of Pop Circle. Eastpo
62
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.960
was the top score of the league in Week eighteen
63
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.159
or that's the Awestar matchup. So it was a two
64
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.759
week matchup. Over the two weeks, you see he grabbed
65
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.680
seventeen eleven, so his squad just went crazy. You see,
66
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.080
he got Pazemski. He doing management work and you know,
67
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.159
ad players off the waivers, you know, doing his thing.
68
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.000
But the best matchup. I got to shout it out
69
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.800
just because of how close it was. The managers of
70
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.639
Waiians and Beast Bullies, you know what I mean. They
71
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:29.040
had a crazy, crazy game as you see a seven
72
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.560
point a seven point dug for why Ens. You know
73
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.920
what I'm saying, some playoff positioning on the line for
74
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:37.560
the manager of Whiiens.
75
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.199
He's still in the running for that buy Beast Bullies.
76
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.839
Luckily he got the by locked up for his division,
77
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.560
so he good the loss, but you know, I'm sure
78
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.879
he wanted to get that dub. But that loss right there,
79
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.319
that's tough. Seven points over the course of two weeks.
80
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.839
That's frustrating, but it is what it is.
81
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:57.480
It's all about the management work.
82
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:02.319
Sometimes it go your way, sometimes it so to recap,
83
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.480
I wanted to shout out manager Espo. He was actually
84
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.439
on here on the episode, the ALLSTO episode actually, so
85
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.480
check that out. We talked about the season, the playoffs
86
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.519
and who we go, who we think gonna finish crazy
87
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.800
top score East Bow then the best matchup manager of
88
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.360
Beast Bullets and y NS. A salute to y'all. Shout
89
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.439
out to y'all for that. Y'all. Y'all keep the league competitive,
90
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.800
and that's what we're here for to put in work,
91
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:29.959
all right.
92
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.000
So I'm going to the waiver of wise school. Uh.
93
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.720
You know, First up, I got you know, a couple
94
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.279
of people. I got a few people. I got two
95
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.759
at each position or two at each spot. You know
96
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.199
what I'm saying. This segment really about opportunity, not hype,
97
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.560
just major opportunities up ahead. We're looking for who balling,
98
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.439
who can help us get you know, make that playoff push.
99
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.800
We're looking for dependable minutes, people who can repeat, they
100
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.560
peap repeat their production. You know what I'm saying. That's
101
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:01.680
that's that they can sustain the production. We ain't chasing names,
102
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.800
we ain't chasing the role. We're looking for opportunity over reputation.
103
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.519
As you see. First step, Scott at Pippin Jr.
104
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:13.279
From the Memphis Grizzlies nineteen percent roster excuse me, seventeen
105
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.199
percent roster made a season debut February six. He only
106
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.600
got four games this season, but in them four games,
107
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.040
though he doing work, he averaged a thirty one point
108
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.959
three fantasy point game, I mean fantasy points over the
109
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.600
course of the season or the course of his season.
110
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.680
And he doing that in twenty minutes. You know what
111
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:31.079
I'm saying.
112
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.519
He getting twelve and a half points, one and a
113
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:35.879
half rebounds. You know, you don't love that, but four
114
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.959
point eight assists, one and a half threes made a game.
115
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.600
He only played one game in Week eighteen, but he
116
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:45.920
had forty fantasy points in that one eighteen points, three rebounds,
117
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.160
six assists, two steals in one block versus Miami on
118
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.040
February twenty first, he a great ad, you know what
119
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.120
I mean. And one more thing I want to add
120
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.839
to the Grizzlies got four games this week in Week nineteen,
121
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.160
so he got a lot of opportunities, you know, go
122
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:01.759
crazy to get some more production.
123
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:02.399
Uh.
124
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.879
I did a thread on them on X A lot
125
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.839
of people hurt from Memphis. So Scotty Pippen Junior got
126
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.920
a lot of great opportunity up ahead for him. Make
127
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.720
sure y'all check him out, all right. And then I
128
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.040
got the Anthony Melton from the Golden State Warrias. Uh.
129
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.360
You know, I spoke about him. I spoke about they
130
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.040
Wings on a mid week Hustle episode early in the
131
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:29.800
season when Jimmy Butler went down and created a lot
132
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.199
of opportunity for people. You know what I'm saying, it's
133
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.040
one of those guys that the opportunity worked out for.
134
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:36.639
He's still three.
135
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.560
Point eight percent roster, so he widely available in ESPN leagues.
136
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.680
Twenty three point seven fantasy point average for the season
137
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.240
average and twelve point two points, two point eight rebounds,
138
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.920

139
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.800
four threes, made a game in twenty two minutes a game.
140
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.879
On the year, he had a solid Week eight team.
141
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.279
Actually he had a great Week E team where he
142
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.800
avert started the three fantasy points a game. He only
143
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.759
had two games that week, but he averaged nineteen nineteen
144
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.000
points that is, three and a half rebounds, one point
145
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.279
five assists, two and a half steals, and two may
146
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.399
threes a game in the week he did his thing nineteen.
147
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.439
That ain't nothing to scot fort you know, go to
148
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.360
State got three games scheduled in Week nineteen, so he
149
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:21.439
a quality ad.
150
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:24.519
He got solid opportunity. You know what I mean, three.
151
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.680
Games, so make sure y'all add him now. The Anthony
152
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:32.960
Melton from the Golden State Warriors. Chris Middleton from my MAVs.
153
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.559
It's funny though unfortunately we ended up trading Luca for
154
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.120
Chris Middleton. But shout out to Chris Middleton though for
155
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:43.399
making the list. Three point eight percent roster. You know
156
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.200
what I'm saying, twenty one point seven fantasy point average
157
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.080
for the season, getting ten point nine points, four rebounds,
158
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.360
three point two assists, point eight steals, one three one
159
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.759
to three. Made a game in twenty four minutes a game. Now,
160
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.639
most of them those stats, most of that work was
161
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:03.639
done in Washington, but in two games in Week eighteen,
162
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.519
he averaged forty three fantasy points a game for the MAVs. Well,
163
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.240
he got twenty one and and a half points, six
164
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.320
and a half rebounds, four and a half assists, one
165
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.039
and a half steals in two threes. Made a game
166
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:19.639
over that stretch. The boy turned back the clock. When
167
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:22.320
he got with the Baws. He scored fifty six fantasy points.
168
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.399
Yesterday Sunday, February twenty second versus the Pacers. You know
169
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:28.919
what I'm saying, he finished that game with twenty five points,
170
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:34.360
seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, three threes. Made that game,
171
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.840
and with all the injuries that we got, you know
172
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:39.519
what I'm saying, the All Star break looks like it's
173
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.120
done well. So make sure y'all able to stream him now,
174
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.000
because he really putting in work. He doing his thing.
175
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:50.120
Chris Middleton from the Dallas MAVs. I got another warrior
176
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:55.960
up here. GWe Santos again. He another one I discussed
177
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.440
on an earlier Meal We Hustle episode because of the
178
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:00.720
Jimmy but injury.
179
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.480
But here we are. You know what I'm saying, time
180
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:06.360
is gone and he doing his thing.
181
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.519
You know what I'm saying, He's still only thirteen point
182
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.879
seven percent roster, so he wildly available. Now this is
183
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.480
season average, so it don't look as crazy. But fifteen
184
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:18.279
and a half Fantasy points, six point two points, three rebounds,
185
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.600
one point six assists, and one three made the game.
186
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:21.080
On the year.
187
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:24.200
However, you know.
188
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:26.720
What I'm saying, since Jimmy had gone down, he're looking
189
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.679
like he extremely state candidate. He averaged forty Fantasy points
190
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:36.799
a game. In Week eighteen, he averaged seventeen points five
191
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.519
and a half rebounds, four and a half assists, one
192
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:42.799
and a half still and three and a half threes.
193
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:46.080
Made a game in week eighteen, had a forty two
194
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:51.159
point fantasy game against Denver yesterday Sunday. He got three
195
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.000
games a week nineteen. As I already stayed with Melton
196
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.120
with the Warriors, you know what I'm saying, So this
197
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.159
upcoming week is a great time the audition. We and
198
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:02.000
see if he that can stay on your squad. He's
199
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:06.559
doing his thing. You know, the production there, the production there,
200
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:07.960
so make sure y'all check him out.
201
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:12.440
We Santos from the Golden State Warriors. He got another math.
202
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.960
On the list.
203
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.159
I know it seemed like I'm being a little biased,
204
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:15.840
and maybe I am.
205
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.559
I don't know, but these boys hooping though, these boys
206
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.120
hooping though it might not translate the wins, but they hooping.
207
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.600
Marvin Bagler the third, You know what I'm saying.
208
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.440
He ten percent roster, twenty three point one fantasy point
209
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.919
average on the season, ten point three points, six point
210
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:34.120
one rebounds, one point four assists, half of stell point
211
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:35.000
seven blocks.
212
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.360
So he's closer to getting more than he not. You
213
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:38.720
know what I'm saying. He done a lot of that
214
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:40.440
with Washington. You know what I'm saying.
215
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:44.159
But he averaged thirty Fantasy points in Week eighteen, average
216
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.759
thirteen and a half points, twelve rebounds in twenty five
217
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:52.399
minutes in Week eighteen. That solid production, a double double.
218
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.639
You can't beat that. Bagley been putting up solid numbers
219
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.240
since he been in Dallas. Make sure y'all check him
220
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.000
out because he's really doing it. As you can see
221
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.559
right here. He's not available in my league, you know,
222
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:06.639
because they're not sleep So make sure y'all check out
223
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.960
Marvin Bagley Man. He been doing his thing since he's
224
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:12.039
been in Dallas, especially for Fantasy wise. He can help
225
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.600
you get to the playoffs, help you get a championship.
226
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:18.320
That's what we're here for, to get dubs. Next up,
227
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.080
it's Jalen Smith. Now, ain't gonna lie. I watched him
228
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.759
play last night against the Knicks. He did leave that
229
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.399
game with some calf sore on this so you know,
230
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:30.759
if he available to play, make sure y'all add him.
231
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:32.600
And if he not available, I'm gonna hit y'all with
232
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:36.159
that replacement on the mid week up with Week Hustle episode,
233
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.440
So make sure y'all tap in and check that out.
234
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.519
But Jalen Smith from the Chicago Bulls, He's sixteen point
235
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:44.879
one percent roster, twenty four fantasy points a game over
236
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:49.279
the course of the season ten point three points, seven rebounds,
237
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.639
one point three assists, zero point eight blocks, one point
238
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.480
six three's made a game. On the year, he averaged
239
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:58.240
thirty two Fantasy points a game in Week eighteen, though
240
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.600
since the Bulls have trade Busevich, Jalen Smith has been
241
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.159
averaging over thirty fantasy points. You know he getting that
242
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.360
by getting twelve points, seven point eight block excuse me,
243
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.720
seven point eight rebounds, one point three steals, one block,
244
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.159
one point three one point five three's made a game.
245
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.600
And he during the he had three games in week
246
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.360
eight team he got three gays in week nineteen. But
247
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.399
like I say, he left the game last night. So
248
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:25.480
if he if he's not healthy, I'm gonna get you
249
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:29.200
out with that replacement. But if he's healthy, stream this guy.
250
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:33.519
Stream this guy. Since they traded us, the opportunity is there.
251
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:39.000
He doing this thing he bothering Check him out? All right,
252
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:42.000
here we are we at the point of the show
253
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.960
where I give y'all my sleeper pick again. Another math
254
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:49.120
I spoke about Max Christial a good bit this year though. Uh,
255
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:51.480
like I said, he one of my favorite players. Man,
256
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:55.000
I feel like, you know, you know, productivity, bro, He
257
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:57.159
really do a little bit of everything. You know what
258
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:01.159
I'm saying. He really he really good, He really good.
259
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.720
It ain't it really about flash. It's really about time
260
00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:06.879
and an opportunity. And time and an opportunity right now
261
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:09.759
for Max Christie is on point, you know what I'm saying.
262
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.639
His contributions can and will swing a matchup.
263
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:16.320
Twenty four point three Fantasy points a game over the
264
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:18.720
course of the season, you can see that right there.
265
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.279
Thirteen point three points a game, three point four rebounds,
266
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.399
two point three assists, two and a half threes made
267
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:27.759
a game, and just under thirty minutes a game. But
268
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:32.039
in his last five games, he's averaging thirty Fantasy points
269
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:33.519
in his last five games.
270
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:34.519
So a little.
271
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:38.799
Uptick from his regular season stats is you know, his production.
272
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:41.120
He been playing great, you know what I'm saying. He
273
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.519
even had twenty five Fantasy points in a game where
274
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.159
he only scored five points, but he was doing so
275
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.519
much other things on the stat sheet to show up.
276
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.279
He's still productive. He getting steals, he can get you
277
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.039
a block, he can hit the three, get assists, get rebounds.
278
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.360
He really he played hard. You know what I'm saying.
279
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.399
The MAVs got four games and we nineteen. So keep
280
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.399
that in mind with Bagley Middleton and this guy. You
281
00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:07.080
know what I'm saying. We play the nets Kings, the
282
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.759
Grizzlies in the Thunder. Three of those four are teams
283
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:13.919
that's in the lot of it, just like us. So
284
00:15:14.720 --> 00:15:18.080
make sure you know you take advantage of these opportunities.
285
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.000
If y'all right there on the cuffs, you know, to
286
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:23.519
make the playoffs, you can stream some guys, get some dubs,
287
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.720
get in. Then from there it's up. You know what
288
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:29.159
I'm saying. He thirteen percent roster, so he's still a
289
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.960
majority available. So hey, he another waiver wire guy, another
290
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.440
hustler's pick up, a guy. You know what I'm saying,
291
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.360
that's my end of zone sleeper pick because people know
292
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:41.799
he can hoop. But I don't think people really you
293
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:44.039
know obviously, you know you ain't seeing the maps that
294
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:47.960
much on TV this year, But he bothering, he hooping
295
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.960
and if he available in y'all league, make sure y'all
296
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:55.679
go grab him right now today. Hey, we find value
297
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:57.639
for the rest of the league. See and as you see,
298
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:00.559
a manager in my league already got him. So he
299
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.759
saw the value, he grabbed him, and he's in the playoffs.
300
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.399
He clinched his playoffs this week.
301
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.440
So that's my end of zone sleeper pick. You know
302
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:12.120

Who is sleeper? Y'all like, all right, here we are
306
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:26.360
we here. You know what I'm saying, Hustle's energy lock pick.
307
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:29.240
I throw away the key. I'm throwing away to Keyon
308
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:34.279
Jared Allen. And it's crazy because you look at his numbers.
309
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:36.720
That ain't crazy. You ain't. You ain't.
310
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:39.840
You ain't really wild a boy him.
311
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:40.399
This is what he do.
312
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:43.759
He's steady. You know what I'm saying. He do what
313
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:47.399
he do, He do his thing. But this is why
314
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.480
I grab, This is why he's my you know.
315
00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:51.759
Lock pick who I thought? You know who I'm throwing
316
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:58.000
away to Keyon James Harden And it's the second person
317
00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:01.080
I locked on since James Harden with Cleveland. I had
318
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.319
Donovan Mitchell a couple of weeks ago. Look at Jared
319
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:06.759
Allen stats. He all in nineteenth at his position, so
320
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.160
he ain't a top dog. Fourteen point eight points, eight
321
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.039
and a half rebounds to assist one still point nine
322
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:17.240
blocks over the season. Great sat, solid stats, great player,
323
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.960
you know, great team player. His play going up another
324
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.359
level since they got hardened. You know what I'm saying.
325
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:27.039
He only scored below thirty Fantasy points since hardness has
326
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.599
got you know, since they got hardened. They five and
327
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:32.160
one since the trade they first lost with yesterday against
328
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:36.400
the Thunder, He's averaging forty and a half Fantasy points
329
00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:41.039
since the trade. Crazy enough, you know what I'm saying.
330
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.559
He's still nine percent of AIL eight percent available in
331
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.920
ESPN leagues, so he available in YO league. You need
332
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.880
to find a way to make some room for this dude, Harden.
333
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:55.079
We know he a great passer, he a great score
334
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.480
and it's looking like since he been in Cleveland he
335
00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:59.480
ain't looking to score as much as he had to
336
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:04.079
in the past. So Jared Allen is a great lock
337
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.119
pick for this very reason.
338
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:09.559
His players gone up since harving't been there. He doing
339
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:10.039
his thing.
340
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.000
The stats are there, the production is there, the data
341
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:17.160
is there, don't sleep on them. That's my lock pick,
342
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.440
and that's why I throw away the key on Jared Allen.
343
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:22.400
You know what I'm saying, So make sure y'all tap in.
344
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:25.200
Let me know who y'all locking it in here? We
345
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:29.079
are we at the last part Fantasy Community of Debate.
346
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.079
You know what I'm saying. As I started off the show,
347
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.920
you know, we talked about playoffs. We pick a topic
348
00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:38.920
when we close the show with a bowld conversation. For me,
349
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.079
this bold conversation right now is right on point. We
350
00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:48.079
got two more matchups in my league playoff prep Are
351
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.680
you stacking your roster with the best available? Are you
352
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:55.799
still streaming players? I know for me it depends. I
353
00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:58.440
like to keep one spot. I like to keep one
354
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.440
streaming spot of available because of how to schedule work
355
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.559
everybody on play every night. I like to get some
356
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:10.319
type of production every single night. You know, I had
357
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.720
a situation in my league where Myles Bridges became available.
358
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.599
I know the suspension probably hurt, you know, for that
359
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:23.039
manager to drop them.
360
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:24.440
But Myles Bridges became available. I had a grabb You
361
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:24.920
know what I'm saying.
362
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.920
It's hard to get thirty points and it's a point production,
363
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.720
especially at this point in the year, you know what
364
00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:35.400
I mean, It's hard to do. So for me, I
365
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.839
like to at least keep one streaming spot. I usually
366
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.960
use two streaming spots, you know what I mean. But
367
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:46.160
if somebody like Bridges, somebody dak callib become available, I
368
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:49.039
could sacrifice one of those spots for a guy like Bridges.
369
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:53.440
He projected to come back tomorrow, I believe, yeah, tomorrow
370
00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:56.960
to twenty fourth February, twenty fourth Tuesday, you know what
371
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.839
I mean. So I think when it comes to playoff prep,
372
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.759
you know, when you on you right there on.
373
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:03.680
The cuffs, you gotta do what you gotta do to
374
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:04.559
get the most points.
375
00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:06.799
If you in category at leads, you gotta do what
376
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.039
you gotta do to stream to get the most production
377
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:12.880
in that category to get a d UG.
378
00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:17.319
So, you know, let me know what y'all think. What's y'all?
379
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.559
What's when it comes to playoff prep? Are y'all stacking
380
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:24.160
or are you streaming? Are you still streaming? You know
381
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.200
as much as possible, is that your way to get points?
382
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.839
Are you cool with if you if you stream somebody
383
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:31.960
and you lose that or you drop a person that
384
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.319
really ain't streamable. Are you cool with losing it?
