 Hey, everybody, what's going on? I am Greg Sosman joined today by Drew Diggmeyer of dailyrotor.com, who's here to break down tonight's NBA Slate. What's happening, Drew? Not much, you know, no Super Bowl hangover here. We got 10 games on the NBA Slate to look forward to, and hopefully help people set those fandoms. That's right, it's a full slate of games tonight, so let's break it down. We begin with your top star on the board, your guy, Nikola Vuchovic, who is priced under $9,000 tonight, making him an excellent play. Yeah, it's an interesting slate for the stars. There's no James Hardin, no Yannis Antedicumpo, no LeBron James or Anthony Davis. So a lot of the stars are kind of these upper mid-tier price plays. And at the center spot, I really like Nikola Vuchovic tonight. Charlotte ranks 29th in defensive efficiency against the opposing center position. And Vuchovic has seen his rates really rise, especially the rebounding rate in the absence of Jonathan Isaac, who's been out for a few weeks now. So it looks like a great spot for Vuchovic. It's a really good price tag as well. So while he's a star, he's also quite a good value for us, and he's someone you should look to in your lineups at the center spot. Good value, good matchup, good spot for Vuch. You have to love him here at center under nine grand. Vuch belongs in your center spot on Fandall tonight. Coming up next for us, we have the DeIron Fox on. You've been in on recently, Drew. It's been up and down. Why do you think tonight is one of those upnights? Yeah, I think this is a good matchup for him. Minnesota is a team that ranks, you know, bottom 10 in defensive efficiency against opposing point guards. He's at home, so he gets that scorekeeper boost with the assist rate, which is vital to all the point guards. We usually like to play point guards at home in general. Pretty high total game, competitive game environment expected here, and good price tag in the low 8000s. The point guard is a spot that's lacking some of the high end options with no Russell Westbrook on this slate. Kyrie Irving out tonight. And we think DeIron Fox can kind of fill that mold in that low 8000s price range. Low 8000s for DeIron Fox works here for Oz. Get Fox in there for the Kings and in your Fandall lineups tonight. Our final star, well, he's especially a star when Kyrie Irving doesn't play. That's Spencer Dinwitty. It's as simple as that. No brainer, Spencer Dinwitty's got to be in there, right Drew? Yeah, whenever Kyrie Irving sat this year, we've seen Spencer Dinwitty really dominate his usage rate is trended up near 32, 33%. The assist rate is trended up near 39, 40%. Basically assuming the Kyrie Irving role in that Brooklyn offense. Favorable matchup tonight against Phoenix at home. Good game environment, total in the 220s. And the price tag's still kind of in the mid 7000s here. Just not adjusted for life without Kyrie. So while he's a star, he's not really priced like a star and he's one of the staple plays for us on this slate. A star without being priced like a star. What else could you ask for? Great spot here for Spencer Dinwitty. Let's move on to some of the value plays over the night, Drew, and that brings us to Bruce Brown, the Detroit Pistons player. Should get a lot of minutes tonight. Some of these other players in Detroit off in the air. Bruce Brown could be in a good spot. Yeah, you look at Detroit and kind of how they've managed the point guard situation all season long. They've been cautious with Derek Rose on back-to-backs. Reggie Jackson is just kind of working his way back. They played an overtime game last night. So we think, or yesterday afternoon, so we think one of those two players is likely to sit, which would open up a lot of minutes for Bruce Brown, who's been very effective when he's been given kind of that point guard role. He's been very effective off the bench, even with Reggie Jackson and Derek Rose back. Pricing low of 4,000s, I think he's one of the better values on the slate. You just need to confirm that one of those two guys, Reggie Jackson or Derek Rose sits tonight. If that's the case, it's all systems go for Bruce Brown. Remember, lineup's locked at 7 p.m. Eastern. Daily Rotos got you covered with all of the latest lineup alerts, so make sure somebody's out for Detroit before you get Bruce Brown in there. But if they are, as we expect they will be, Bruce Brown is a fantastic, cheap play. Up next for us, we stay in Brooklyn, going back there, rather, and that's Kairis Lavert, also no Kairi. Lavert's gonna step up. Yeah, we've seen Lavert, he's been such a good permanent producer throughout his fantasy career, but the fantasy value's been neutered a little bit this season with Kairi Irving around. It's kind of pushed him to the third ball handler role. That shouldn't be the case tonight with Kairi Irving out. We'll see Spencer Dinwiddie in that starting lineup dominate the usage, and we think we'll see Kairis Lavert in that second unit dominating the usage with a little bit more minutes upside now. Again, that price tag in the low 4,000s just too cheap, friendly home matchup against Phoenix, good game environment on the whole. We like both Spencer Dinwiddie and Kairis Lavert tonight. Well, Dinwiddie and Lavert should see a lot of action tonight and should see higher usage, of course, without Kairi. Both deserve to be in your ladders tonight, so get Kairis Lavert in there. Little him and Dinwiddie, they don't really cost that much, so make sure you play them tonight on FanDuel. One final player to get to, and that's going back to Dwayne Deadman once again. Now, we've done this Deadman thing, it's worked out that it doesn't, and you got to pick the right night to play him. Why is tonight that night? Well, hopefully tonight is that night because Sacramento's going to need some size. When you're going up against Carl Anthony Towns in Minnesota, you can't play those kind of small ball lineups with the elites at the center spot, so we think Deadman's minutes are a little bit more secure tonight, as long as he can stay out of foul trouble, and Minnesota historically has been a team that struggled against opposing centers, so we think there's reasons for Deadman to be on the floor, there's reasons for Deadman to produce successfully, and hopefully tonight he's not Deadman walking. Deadman walking, I love it, Drew. That is as daily Roto as it gets right there. Deadman walking, hopefully not. Hopefully he's alive tonight for your fantasy teams and for the Sacramento Kings.
