 What's going on? I am Greg Sussman joined today by Tom Vecchio, a fandal who's here to break down tonight's NBA slate. What's happening, Tom? Yeah, we got a big 10 game slate really shaping up to be a high scoring one plenty of options across the board With 10 games, of course, there's plenty of options across the board So let's start with your favorite one and that resides in Philadelphia. No Joel and Bean once again for the Sixers Which means Ben Simmons is the primary score for the Sixers team. He's your favorite stud on tonight's slate. How come? I think this 8.5 price tag for Simmons tonight is a little bit too cheap like you know over the past few seasons We've seen them up at you know The mid 9000 range when he's really scoring and this $8,500 price tag against the Nets on a second night But back-to-back the Nets are is really really viable and we're not really breaking the bank The Nets are allowing 49.4 fandal points per game to point guards this season. It's the fifth worst in the league We know there's a pace up spot for the 76ers They come in 20th in the league and pace the Nets are sitting up at 9th So a good step up against a weak defense and really you know I see this as like a classic Ben Simmons game where you know He's not a truly high volume score We're not getting I don't want to throw in a three-point joke here But he's gonna take in the mid-teens when it comes to shots He's gonna have 10 assists 12 rebounds like he's gonna push towards a double-double or a triple-double and this $8,500 Price tag is great tonight Nets are on a second night of back-to-back as you mentioned They do struggle against point guards bottom five in the league in a lot of a fantasy points there Yeah, Simmons is gonna hit the three-point shot But he's gonna be a both a facilitator and a score tonight for Philadelphia a lot to like with Ben Simmons here tonight Let's move on to your time to another stud that you're all in on and that brings us now. Well, it's a Nicolay Yolkic who's been a star all season long for this number Nuggets team who was a bit shorthanded potentially tonight Which means Nicolay Yolkic should see a higher usage potentially Yeah with Jamal Murray list as questionable, that's really the main thing they have Gary Harris list as questionable I don't think that impacts Yolkic too much We already know that Paul Millsap is out. He's been out for a few games And when we account for Murray being off the court, we see Yolkic come in with a 33 point 0% usage rate 1.48 Fandal points per minute Which is a 6.4 percent increase in his usage and an extra point one three Fandal points print So it is a big step up this game against the Hornets really isn't Amazing it comes to you know a fantasy perspective two teams in the bottom three when it comes to pace We have a 210 over under which is the lowest on the board But we're looking at a guy with a 33% usage rate who is also a you know potentially pushing towards a triple double So I'm all over Yolkic tonight despite the game environment not being amazing despite the pace not being amazing I want the high usage I want a guy that can easily go for 50 or 60 fan points Yolkic has that usage Yolkic has that ability to give you a 50 60 fantasy points There are some other centers that are on the board tonight Of course 10 games a guy like click appellate is going to come to mind But certainly Nicola Yolkic is out there for the taking as well One more start that's worth mentioning here Tom. That brings us to the dominator Demons is some bonus for the Indiana Pacers Victor Oladipo's impending return is coming not quite yet Tomorrow is some bonus could be in line for another big night tonight Yes, the bonus has been really like playing like an all-star this year averaging a double-double on the year and we have 10 games Like we have LeBron Westbrook is back in tonight hard and Lillard Luka You know 80 plays like we have a loaded slate and $8,300 for subbonus I think is really really solid a pace-up spot in a big way for Indiana They are 24th in a league when it comes to pace Minnesota is sitting at third overall a 218 over under Which is awesome. You know people are gonna be you know box score watch and we see this most recent performance from subbonus 32 fandal points he shot 3 of 12 from the field against a Philadelphia team certainly tougher on defense But he shoots 51% from the field this season. He's averaging 13 field go attempts, you know from the field Really just overall a bad game from him, you know in the most recent one I see this as a bounce back spot against Minnesota. We know they play super fast We know they're not good on defense $8300 is a great price tag You know combined with the fact that he still had a double-double in this most recent game He just had a bad night from the field So I'm gonna expect a little bit of positive regression and another 45-point game from him even when he is struggling from the field He's still producing numbers on the court for you and your fantasy team It's a bonus a double-double even when struggling tonight against Minnesota as you mentioned Tom's the bad defense It's gonna be a high-paced game. It's gonna be a lot of scoring to be a lot of points Put up by both squads a lot of fantasy puts that put up fantasy points Excuse me put up by DeMonte Simone's allowing him to be in your lineups tonight But in order to get these studs in there You gotta be able to find values and with a tenant game slate values are out there and then begin with Tomas Satoransky Yeah, $4,600 for Satoransky. I think this is just like a I want to say a safe option We look at him, you know a bit up and down But the consistency overall he has in the season point eight five finger points per minute in a very modest 19% usage rate is Interesting, you know playing high in the mid-20s when it comes to his minutes per game is great They pace up spot against the Wizards who are just terrible this year We look at Satoransky and okay, he doesn't shoot a high volume from the field You know that lies with you know a lot with Zach Lavey when it comes to the Bulls offense That's fine, but he's being productive in the limited usage that he has this is against his former team I don't know if you want to throw in the revenge factor there But we're looking at a guy who has a 25 or so point floor can push towards 35 or so fainting points And I just want to walk in that consistency to spend up for those stars As you said some off Satoransky has a bit of a revenge game today. I don't really think it applies here But he's as solid as they come right Satoransky is certainly somebody that you could put in there and feel good about it Because he's not going to be a bust much like our next player We talked about DeMonte Simonas the dominator. What about Dr. New so who do Muya who's been fantastic since play griffin went down with pistons. He is still unfairly priced. He's too cheap Yeah, we have the pistons Uh, they they have christian wood listed as questionable for tonight's game And you look back at his game log in 34 28 34 33 and 38 minutes in this recent stretch And that is when christian wood is playing We know they're kind of you know thing when it comes to a big men position In detroit and you know point seven zero fan two points per minute Is an amazing this season and a tougher matchup against the Celtics Uh, you know, but at number five we have projected for 31 minutes Which is right in this range where he's been even if he produces at this point seven We're going to see him around 24 25 fan two points tonight. So at $4,700 for a guy who's starting playing above 30 minutes Yeah, it's not the best matchup. I kind of want to lock in a guy that can exceed value Maybe go a little bit further and then just kind of get spend up for those stars tonight We want players that are playing minutes that can be productive even though it's a modest amount for him Just get those minutes and then spend up You can spend up because do movies going to allow you to do it He is absolutely someone who needs to be in your lineup tonight. I don't even care about christian wood man I know the numbers are going to be better with wood not playing but do movies is that good get him in there One last value player to get to and it's in miami Where taylor harrow has played well as old ladies may well actually really all throughout his rookie season Why do you like harrow tonight? Yeah, so he comes in off the bench for miami Like you said, he's played, you know really well for the majority of this season You know taking 10 field goal attempts off the bench is always something I like to pay attention to Especially when it's a player that doesn't necessarily have to compete with usage You know I spoke about jordan mcray, you know a few weeks ago when in relation to bradley biel This is kind of the same thing where he plays a good amount of minutes when jimmy butler Isn't on the court taking 10 field goal attempts a guy who's taking five six seven eight three pointers a game So shows a nice pure scoring upside. You know this spurs defense that they're playing tonight Really isn't the same team we've seen in years past. It's a slight pace up spot for miami. I'm not really too concerned with that We've a 222 over under which is very solid You know 0.79 fando points permitted is solid for a player who's coming in off the bench Under $5,000 and has shown a 30 sometimes 40 point upside with his pure scoring ability So I like these guys under $5,000 get a bunch of minutes in there get some shots in there specifically with hero And then spend up for the stars Guys like tailor hero who much like tomas sonaransky is solid, right? He's never going to just put up a zero You know the minutes are going to be there. You know, he's gonna hit a couple of threes There is a really good player in a really good spot a really good price tonight to put him in your line-ups That's gonna do it for us here on the fan. You'll hurry up. Tom. It's been a blast. Appreciate your time Yeah, it should be a good 10 game slate. Have a good one. I appreciate it. All right coming up tomorrow Jim Sonnis will join me as we take a look at the conference championship weekend for a dfs perspective I need help. So do you we'll rig it down tomorrow. Tom. Thank you. I'm Greg Sussman. Thanks so much for watching We'll see you tomorrow
