 Hey, everybody, what's going on? I am Greg Sussman. Welcome inside Studio 34. Today, I'm joined by Tom Vecchio, who's gonna bring you tonight's NBA Slate. What's happening, Tom? I'm doing well. I have six games. I think we have a little bit of everything we need on this slate. I'll top right in. Let's dive right in and let's start at the top. Your highest-priced player, your superstar you're building around tonight. The superstar you can build around every night. It's the king, LeBron James. Why do you like LeBron over the summer? Some of the other choices that are out there. And tonight's Slate, we're waiting on the Anthony Davis news. He's currently listed as questionable. And, you know, we look at LeBron Stats this season, 31% usage rate, 1.46 fan-to-points per minute. And that's with Anthony Davis on the court. He's going for a double-double or triple-double in these games that AD is playing. And when Davis is off the court, those numbers jump to a 44.4% usage rate with 1.80 fan-to-points per minute. You know, we have a three-and-a-half point spread. You know, a modest 2-11 over-under against the Pacers. But listen, if he's putting up these type of numbers with Davis on the court, we're going to be seeing even more from him. And legitimately, $11,000 could be too cheap for him if we knew that AD was potentially ruled out before him. I'd be willing to pay $12.1, $12.2 for LeBron in this spot. It's just all of the usage, all of the minutes for him, especially if Davis is out. We're waiting on Anthony Davis. That's the big one. And if he doesn't play, questionable for now. LeBron James, the obvious play tonight. But remember, lineups lock about 7 p.m. Eastern time for the main slate. So make sure you check if AD's out there. If he's not, LeBron James is because an obvious play because, well, he always is. Up next, let's get to the Pelican superstar. That is your holiday. Pelican just struggled as of late. But your holiday, he hasn't. He's in a good spot tonight against the Nets. Tom, why do you like him? Yeah, like you said, this could be one of the best fancy games of the night. You know, both teams are in the top 10 when it comes to pace. 229 point over under 8.3. I think is a very solid price for holiday. You look at shooting guard overall tonight, and we have Donovan Mitchell up at 8.7. And I know a lot of people would want to go to him. Mike Conley should be coming back, but that game has a 206 over under. Why would we not just go a few hundred dollars cheaper to holiday at 8.3 with this massive 229 over under 1.08? Fandal points for minute four holiday is amazing. Averaging 17 field goals per game over 5.3s. The Nets are somewhat strong against shooting guards this year, but we have Lonzo Ball out of the starting lineup recently for the Pelicans, and Holiday is just taking even more shots. He's up there as one of the best point per dollar plays for me tonight. He's always a good player. I've been a big Drew Holiday guy. The Pelicans are struggled as of late, and that's an understatement. Drew Holiday, he hasn't. He's a big part of the solution. A lot to like with Drew Holiday tonight and every night, so consider putting him into your lineups. One more stud to get to before we find out how to pay for all these studs, and that brings us to Julius Randall, the New York Knicks. Big Man has done a little bit of everything except hit foul shots, but that's okay. We don't really need him to do that. Julius Randall, why do you like him in this matchup against Atlanta? Yeah, like you said, he's doing a bit of everything, and you know, at 7.6, a lot of people might not consider him a stud, but I think we have to look at the slate overall, where we have Trey Young on the opposite side of this game. We have Kauai Leonard. We have Paul George. But we have the Clippers as 12-point home favorites against the Suns. They're on the second night, but back-to-back, the Suns are. So do we really need to see Kauai and Paul George put up 60 Fandall points in order for them to win that game? I don't think so. And you know, Trey Young, this is a paced-down spot for the Hawks, which means that they paced up spot for the Knicks, where the Knicks coming in right now at 28th in the league, that the Hawks are up at 8th. We have a solid usage rate on Randall at 25%. 0.99 Fandall points per minute is so, so consistent. And we look at this recent West Coast road trip the Knicks just came back from, and he's putting up 35 Fandall points or more in three of these past four games. We're talking about consistency every single night, combined with the fact that the Hawks are dead last in the league against Power Fowards, allowing 49.8 Fandall points per game. It's paced up. The usage rate is there. It's not going to be an amazing game with both teams sitting on six wins right now, but the Fandall production should be there from Randall. We hope the Fandall production is there for Randall. As you mentioned, the Hawks struggle against Power Fowards. Randall does so much for his position. Should be a good spot tonight. The Knicks, they played better as of late, and let's see if that continues this evening. Moving on to some of the valuable plays because they're valuable, because we need to fit them in there. They're cheaper. So let's start with Josh Hart of the Pelicans. You see how long people have added to Josh Hart. They dropped Josh Hart. They don't really know what to do with them. What do you like of his DFS tonight? Well, we have Gigi Redick out for the Pelicans. He was ruled out yesterday, and we already have Josh Hart playing 30 minutes or more in three of his past four games. Now, I'm not sure if Hart's going to be in the starting lineup. Could be Holiday, Hart, Kenridge Williams, Brandon Ingram, and Derek Favres as their five, but we're talking about 30 plus minutes from a guy who's a bench player, and now their rotation is shortened with Redick out. Of course, this game environment, as we mentioned, when Drew Holiday is fantastic, 229.0 under, and we're looking at 24.5 Fandall points in three of his past four games for Josh Hart. He would need 25 exactly in order to reach 5x value, and he's basically doing that, and now we might be seeing extra minutes with Redick out. So it really just lines him up for a great, consistent, may not be a ceiling-type play, but he can hit value and allows a little bit of roster flexibility. I think that's the key, right? With Gigi Redick out, Josh Hart should be having a chance to step up, right? Minutes should go up. Versatility goes up. He's going to see a lot of minutes in this game. I think Josh Hart is one of those no-brainer value plays on tonight's slate. Up next, we get to Landry Schermet, who's returning for the Clippers tonight. Clippers have been beat up as of late. A ton of guys were out on Saturday. We expect Kawhi Leonard to play tonight, but some of these other guys we're not so sure about. Why do you like Landry Schermet? Yeah, we have Lou Williams and Pat Beverly, both questionable for tonight. Like you said, they're a bit banged up. They missed their most recent games, and in that time, we saw Schermet and Terence Mann get the start on Saturday. He's 3.7K, and that first game back from his injury. He played 20 minutes. Very modest 14.8 Fandal points. We see a lot of the usage going to Kawhi and Paul George, and even Montres Herald at times. But I love the savings on him. He should be in line for 20, 25 minutes tonight if he's the starter, if Pat Beverly and Lou Williams are ruled out. Again, it's a 226 point over under. The 12-point spread is actually interesting when it comes to one of the value plays on the Clippers because if they rest Kawhi and Paul George as the game goes on, if they have a large lead, this is when he can really, really start to exceed value. The matchup is good against point guards against the Suns. 47 points. They're allowing Fandal points that is per game to point guards as the ninth worst in the lead. $3,700 for potential starter. Sign me up. Again, the big question here is the status of Lou Williams and Patrick Beverly. We don't have that yet. So if they're out, Landry Schermet, much like Josh Hart, a no-brainer. The line-up slot isn't until 7 p.m. Eastern time for that main slate. So make sure you're paying attention. If they're out, Landry Schermet has a ton of opportunity tonight. If they play, well, he still has a chance for that extra playing time in the case of a blowout against Phoenix here tonight. A lot of possibilities for Schermet. He's very much on our radar. All right, we talked about one side here with the Clippers and everything that's going on with them. Tom, let's go to the other side with Phoenix and a player that's been playing well as of late, Mikhail Bridges. Why do you like Bridges in this matchup against LA? Yeah, we have two teams that have quite a bit of injury news line-up notes. We have, Devin Booker has missed the two most recent games for the Suns. In that time, we saw Bridges get the start, playing 30-plus minutes in both of those games, putting up 28s and 33-fandal points. Now, if Booker doesn't play for the third straight game, we should see Bridges fully back in that starting lineup. Again, they're on the second night, but back to back, seeing hopefully 30-plus minutes. But the Suns will also have Deondre 8 in coming back tonight after his 25-game suspension. And now you could say, oh, that's going to take usage away from Bridges. But if we actually look at the stats this season, he has a 14.4% usage rate, and he's posting 0.96-fandal points in that time. So not a high usage rate guy, but he's being very productive when he sees the ball. So even if 8 comes back into line-up, plays 30-plus minutes, and we have no Devin Booker again, Bridges will be in the starting lineup, and he can easily hit value with that very, very solid 0.96-fandal points per minute. Hitting value is the key. Again, he's cheap tonight. So if he could just reach that number, which is what you're obviously aiming for, you're in a good spot. You don't need McKell Bridges to go off. You just need to have him do what he's been doing for a while now. That consistency is what we're looking for. McKell Bridges should be your guy tonight as your final value piece. That's going to do it for us here on the Fandal Hurry. We appreciate you watching, tuning in, and hopefully playing on tonight's DFS slay. Good luck tonight, Tom. All right, man. Have a good one. You as well, and everybody watching. Enjoy the games tonight. Tomorrow, I'll enjoy my Jim Sannas, who will take a look at DFS for week number 16 in the NFL. Have a great night, everybody, and we'll see you tomorrow.
