 Hey everybody, what's going on? I am Greg Sauceman joined today by Tom Vecchio, a fan new who's here to break down tonight's NBA sleep. What's happening, Tom? Yeah, 11 games sleep before the All-Star break, and so then we get a week off while we top in. Let's get right into it. This is the last big night before the All-Star break, as you mentioned, so there's a lot of games and players to choose from. So we begin with some of your studs, and that takes us to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Andre Drummond. There's a lot of sentence I thought I'd say two weeks ago, but that's what the truth is. You like Drummond tonight? Why is that? Yeah, tonight's 11 games played. I want to say just like overall, we don't actually have a ton of injuries we need to be worrying about. We do have Kevin Love, who's listed as questionable for the Cavaliers, and with Andre Drummond now on the Cavaliers, as you said, we don't have too much of a sample size to draw from since he only played one game. So this really isn't about whether or not Kevin Love plays or not. This is just like factually a good spot for Andre Drummond. Pay some spot for the Cavs against the Hawks. We know the Hawks don't play defense. We see the Overunder sitting at 234 points. And we actually look at Drummond's stats when he was on the Pistons earlier this year against the Hawks in the three games. He averaged 20 points and 14.7 rebounds. So this is a spot we would want to be looking to Drummond kind of regardless what team he is with, regardless if Kevin Love plays or not. And with the extra usage potentially for Drummond with Love Out, I think this is just a lock and load spot for Drummond. All right. Get Drummond in there without the injuries. We know a little bit more right now than we normally do at this time. And Andre Drummond should be in a good spot tonight for the Cavaliers. So get him in your lineups. Another snow you're pretty high on this late here. Tom is Bradley Beale for the Washington Wizards. Second night of a back-to-back for them. But they are playing the New York Knicks whose defense has, well, it struggled most of this year. Although it's been better. Underhead coach Mike Miller. Bradley Beale, second night of a back-to-back. How come you're in? I'm just on board with a player like Bradley Beale. I want to say almost every single night, especially for Torbans. I mean, we look at what Zach Levine did last night. It's kind of the same player. Someone who just takes over 20 field goal attempts every single game. You know, Beale is that guy. You know, he's having a 29. He's averaging 29 points per game this season, which is career high. Not surprising that wall is gone for the entire year. But we're locking in 40 points every single night. 20 field goal attempts. If he gets hot, we're looking at a 60-point upside. It is a pace-down spot for the Wizards. But if you look back at his game block, they're on the road, they're at home. Good defense, bad defense, pace-up, pace-down. Bradley Beale gets it done. He's scoring a ton of real points. This Nick's defense is getting better, but I'm still banking on those 20-25 field goal attempts from him. 40 plus Fandal points every single night. Those points are always really strong for Bradley Beale. He has the Wizards pushing for a playoff spot right now. Does Bradley Beale? We'll see if they can get the job done. Well, let's first make sure Bradley Beale hooks us up tonight on Fandal. One more stunt I want to make sure we get to, Tom, and that brings us to Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns. Always fast pace. Booker, having a heck of a year thus far, why do you like him on this massive slate? So tonight against Golden State Warriors, I think is just a great spot to attack. 226 point over under. We have the warrior sitting at 13th and Pace Phoenix sitting at 10th. I was big on Booker the other night when Aten was questionable and he just didn't get it done in that game right. 19 Fandal points in 31 minutes. Not great. He shot two of 11 from the field and 0 of 4 from deep. So just an off night from the field. But this is a player who's shooting 49% from the field. And with Aten listed as questionable, again, we know that Booker is still that guy for the Suns. He can score 40 points. I think he's a little bit too cheap. Exciting. So I want to be trusting him, especially if Aten is out again. It's a significantly easier matchup compared to playing the Lakers in their most recent game. Golden State, horrible this year. They don't play defense. Fast paced. Another player who takes 20 plus field goal attempts almost every single game outside of this, you know, off night he had the other night. So I'm going back to Booker tonight. I want Bradley Beale. I want these players that can score 40 plus real points. All right. Love it. Bradley Beale, Devon Booker, Andre, German, three awesome studs with the floor is just so, so high. All in good spots tonight. The matchups are great. Devon Booker, the latest stud, you're going to want to get in there on Fandal tonight. In order to get these players in there, we got to save some money. Without a ton of injuries on the slate, we got to figure out how. So let's begin with Rande Hollis Jefferson. Why do you like RHA in this matchup? So we want to be looking to RHA if Ibaka is out again. Ibaka's listed as questionable, missed their most recent game. We saw Hollis Jefferson get the start in that game, posted a very solid 38.7 Fandal points in 33 minutes. I think we can be looking to him again if, you know, the things fall our way with Ibaka being out. He should be in the starting lineup. And he sees, you know, a very modest 2% increase in usage when we adjust for not only Ibaka being out, but also Marcos Saul being out. But even with a 19.4% usage rate, you know, increased with two, with that 2% increase, he's still posting 1.02 Fandal points per minute. So the modest price tag, you know, against a pretty modestly bad, you know, Nets defense, we can be looking to him in the starting lineup, being productive, $4,100 price tag, really everything going for RHA tonight. You don't want to watch Serge Ibaka's availability tonight for that's around a raptor is to see if RHA makes sense. If Ibaka is out, obviously RHA should be in there. So consider making the move with Rande Hollis Jefferson. Up next, Ersan Ilyasova is always good for a few games during the season where he's going to absolutely go off. You believe one of those games could be tonight. Yeah, we know he gets the start when Attenticumpo is ruled out. He missed their most recent game. Attenticumpo has already been ruled out for tonight's game. I think this is one of the more obvious plays on the entire slate. It's when Attenticumpo is out, you go to Ilyasova in the starting lineup. You can look to Middleton. You can look to Eric Bledsoe as well. Overall, this is a pretty solid game environment against the Pacers. 222 point over under. We have a one-point spread. And we see Ilyasova coming in at $4,100. In his most recent game, he was out there for 23 minutes. Tonight, we have him projected for 24, putting up 24 fangled points. Again, you're kind of just locking in a floor at some of these value plays so you can spend up for those players that have a massive ceiling. Ersan Ilyasova in the lineup without Yanis Attenticumpo getting ready for all-star weekend, we hope. So Ersan Ilyasova, a fine play tonight, an obvious play. That's still the right one. One more value play to get to on this slate here, Tom. And that brings us to Dylan Brooks, who's heaking on an expanded role with Memphis after some of the trades they made at the deadline. You like Dylan Brooks tonight? How come? I absolutely love this game against Portland. 233 point over under. I want multiple players from this game. And I'll say for Brooks, you know, don't box, score, watch. If you're looking at his recent games, 14 and 18 fangled points in these last two, really not strong. Like no one's debating that. In those two games, he shot 4 of 17 and 4 of 12 from the field and went 0 of 11 from deep. So a bit of a cold stretch, but super fast-paced game. Like you said, he's taking on an expanded role and actually holds a usage high among their new starting five with John Moran, Kyle Anderson, Brooks, Jaren Jackson, and Jonas Valenskunis. He is the usage leader right now. It's a small sample size, but we want to trust the player who's shooting over 40% from the field in a high over under game, in a high pace game, to kind of get back in form with this shooting tonight. So I love this game environment. I love his new role. His price is great. And I kind of want to buy in if there's any recency, you know, buys against him just because he had two bad games. Yeah, this let's buy back in on Dylan Brooks. Let's buy that bounce back here in a good matchup against Portland. Should be a fun one. Dylan Brooks, someone to very much consider putting your fan to a lineup tonight. That's going to do it for us here on the hurry up for today. Tom Vecchio, I appreciate the time, man. Yeah, we have a week off. I'll see you in a couple of weeks then. Oh, yeah, you have the week off. That's awesome. I'll be back tomorrow with Jim Sanis as we take a look at the XFL. Have a great night. Enjoy the games. And we'll see you here tomorrow for another edition of the Fandal Hurry Up.
