What does Marcus Morris have to do with it?

People play Lauri tonight? I’m a sucker for Lauri. He is generally around 30 fantasy points vs Kevin Love but much of that was when he was a healthy player

He was a better defender than what they currently have that was able to switch onto Beal considering that Beal uses a screen more than just about every shooting guard in the NBA.

My month has been soooooo bad on DFS that DraftKings just sent me an email to sit out the next couple of plays. But I’m back on the NBA tonight!

MRob playing?

I don’t want to derail today’s conversation too much, but Marcus Morris is an atrocious defender.

Some Knick news would be nice.

I’ll cede to you but my perception is that you also think 95 percent of the NBA are atrocious defenders. I think Morris is a better defender than say Kevin Knox?

Edit: But I do agree that Mo Harkless is a defensive upgrade over Morris

They told you to go on load management?

Man I feel like I need Nance in my lineups tonight but there’s so many options at PF. Hard for me as a single bullet guy.

How many minutes do we think DAJ goes up against Javale?

I’m so tempted to take a shot at Ayton on FD, he’s going to be super low owned…

Who is everyone playing at SG on FD? Aside from Oladipo and maybe CJ it’s a wasteland. Can’t stomach Harden despite the spot.

Same

Better GPP play: Mulder or Robinson?

Haha I’m probably just loud about the people I think are bad. I’m very anti the notion that ‘there’s no defense in today’s nba’ or ‘these people are soft and the rulese are soft’.

Mulder

Is it worth paying up for Beal?

Morant, Brow, Drummond.
Based on RG Ownership, I’m so overweight on these guys and can’t figure out why.
I mean, I know why I like them, but no one else?

#defensedoesn’tmatter

They certainly didn’t get Morris for his perimeter shooting. He can’t hit anything. I think the Clippers have a flaw now with Morris/Beverley/Zubac on the floor. All of a sudden they have a spacing/poor shooting problem.

Anyone play Dipo? I went and got a lot of him. They have a bunch of time off coming up and he is still priced very low on FD and Yahoo.

I don’t think so

I got me some Dipo shares; he’s kinda the only guy I like from that game. Back to the Morri, I have no idea why any team wants anything to do with them. They both suck and can’t be good for a locker room. Obviously there’s gotta be more to the story than that because contenders have repeatedly shown interest, but it has never made sense to me.

Not that it matters now that lock hit but my highest owned are 62% Oladipo, 60% Beasley, 35% Barrett

16 for sure. The rest will depend on if McGee comes in the 2nd and 4th qtr
