Our power was shut off for 2 hours this morning.
Probably gonna fade harden even if kyrie is in..and fade kyrie if he plays too…suns good defense and 3 in 4 sounds like 53 points for harden and 38 for kyrie
The Nets also play the Lakers on Thursday in a primetime game, so I could see the Nets resting Harden or Kyrie and also pulling the plug if they are down double digits heading into the fourth. With that said, these scenarios would make Harden or Kyrie a great GPP play if they are not ruled out.

Thanks, it does matter. I appreciate you for pointing that out. Going to update with newest vegas totals too, in minute here.
No resting in nationally televised games correct? I mean they can make up an injury but I would think that would need to show up on the 1st injury report coming out in a bit.

Go small against Whiteside.
That’ll be fun.

God Whiteside isn’t about team.
God Whiteside is about God Whiteside.
God Whiteside knows NBA contracts are not about team.
God Whiteside knows NBA contracts are about stats.
Part of what Dray was saying last night.
For the first time in my life, I listened to Dray and kept finding myself nodding.
He wanted to play.
Things get spun pretty easily. He’d be great somewhere they play team basketball like San Antonio.
The fact that the HEAT never tried to play Whiteside and Bam together amazes me
And you know this how, because NBA talking heads have repeated the narrative long enough?
The truth is that his teammates love him
Very rare to see a twin tower approach like in the old days. I’d love Whiteside in DAL, would be a perfect fit next to KP and a nice P&R partner for Luka.

Theis being out makes me realize how much I used to overrate Tristan Thompson.
Man hasn’t had a block in over 3 weeks.

Well those are a given so I dont even waste my time worrying about that part lol
Campazzo/Jokic or Towns/”(player-popup #josh-jackson)Josh Jackson”:/players/josh-jackson-37890 on DK. Have 1st penciled in but wondering if Towns can match Jokic thoughts?
On the 1:30 pm NBA injury report, Brooklyn is listed as “not submitted yet” haha Every team playing tonight except Brooklyn has submitted their injury report.
They didn’t want to pay Whiteside, because they had their eye on Giannis, and managed their payroll up until now with the thought they would land Giannis.

His teammates DO love him.
That was part of my point.
Players can be selfish and still have their teammates love them.
Don’t think I was kicking God Whiteside at all. I wasn’t.
When God Whiteside’s hand gets close to a ball being shot, the first thing he does after the rebound is signal to the scorer’s table he got a piece of the ball. BUT, because he doesn’t let it effect his hustle or his team, he can do that.
If a Boogie or a Westbrook did something like that, it wouldn’t be seen so nicely by their teammates. Why? One, they got theirs already and two, both have proven not to have the heart and desire of God Whiteside.

I’m calling it now.
Kyrie sees Chris Paul coming up and needs a “mental health” day.
And no, I’m not belittling mental health issues.
I’m belittling Kyrie Irving.

Unfortunately, because they played last night they don’t have to yet. Teams that played the night before aren’t required to submit an injury report until something like 4 EST the next day.
I get it, Whiteside just put up a monster game, so everyone is saying how underrated he is today.
Happened to be against the team who has yielded more stats to Centers than any other over the past decade. 🤷♂️
He’s ranked 80th out of 80 eligible centers in drpm this season. And 64th out of 80 in real plus minus.
The prior two seasons he was top 20 in both, yet most guys ahead of him weren’t full time starters getting big minutes.
IMO he’s a decent player worthy of 20-22 minutes per night. He’s not underrated, he’s properly rated. Yet he is a bit underutilized in Sac only getting 15 minutes per night, he’s a little better than that.
Is everyone else fading Dame tonight? Also, Ja, Ball or Murray in that price range? One of them will pop for 45 FD points.

Not sure yet, but I’m open to it.
I expect him to be pretty popular.
Looking at the Lakers schedule with AD out for awhile and LeBron with his customary ankle designation.
2/16 @Minnesota
2/18 Brooklyn TNT
2/20 Miami ABC
2/22 Wizards NBATV
2/24 JAZZ ESPN
2/26 Portland ESPN
2/28 Warriors ESPN
3/2 Suns TNT
That is CRAZY and makes me wonder if LeBron takes a maintenance punt game tonight.

That’s nice.
Lakers on TV every other day. Could sit the Wizards game too. Don’t think NBATV matters. Or just play them all.
Ya. every other night on national TV and every game is against a star with narratives.
lmao…so true!!! cracked me up! “Kyrie mental rest day!”
