The thumbs up leave comments down below you know it’s the way to do it we’re here to recap all of the action from Christmas Day the beginning of week 10 in the NBA we’re going to talk about all five of the games that happened the

Waiver wire Trends the news and a lot of big injuries news uh items that are oh actually positive for once we don’t get that happened very often some positive injury return newses newses well players returning from injury that’s what I’m trying to say so who’s coming back

Couple of Jaylen Jaylen Duran and Jaylen Johnson jayen Duran is listed probable for the Pistons Jaylen Johnson Shams tweeted out yay he’s coming back and the Hawks said n settle down Shams they put him as questionable I do think that he’s coming back so I’m not too worried about it but

Again just a reminder the Hawks did list Jaylen Johnson as questionable they also listed Trey young as questionable with a shoulder issue while deontre Hunter is out for a few weeks with a knee issue but the jallens are returning Johnson and Duran they will be back tomorrow

Most likely Marcus Smart is also on the brink of returning um and once W tweets said hey Marcus Smart’s been upgraded to questionable you can feel pretty good about him coming back and that’s exactly what happened today so w w tweeted about smart so smart should be back whether he

Starts or not doesn’t really matter he’s worth a grab doesn’t mean he’s going to be a must roster all season long Markus smart but he’s worth looking at and adding and seeing exactly where this goes t roia with n saus he missed the last game um for the uh Hornets he’s not

On the injury report you’ll be absolutely stunned to know that Mark Williams is doubtful again for the ninth consecutive game and Brandon Miller is questionable with his ankle issue so roia is back but we don’t know about Miller and we we definitely know about Mark Williams um some other key

Questionable news Victor wanyama is questionable after missing the last game we expected that Kyle towns is questionable that’s a huge positive so it doesn’t they can be B with their injury reports as well the Wolves but it doesn’t appear like that’s going to be a long-term absence and like I said Trey

Young is questionable as well we also got an update from W on Draymond Green saying that the overall length of the suspension probably is 11 to 13 games I talked about this on the injury update show earlier on today and uh expressed my dissatisfaction with the way the NBA

Handles these uh this indefinite suspension time frame but it looks like Draymond could be back towards the beginning of January if you want to grab him you grab him he’s not a must in a points he’s fine in a category League it’s not for everybody I don’t think

That impacts guys like Brandon pjy that much well not guys like Brandon psky well actually let’s rephrase it yes guys like Brandon pimi amazingly there’s only one guy that is actually like Brandon psky and that’s the actual Brandon psky that’s a lot of time saying Brandon psky

In one go it’s not like Beetle I don’t think he’s going to pop up here but you never know maybe his dad does who who knows anyway Brandon psky I think he’ll be fine when DRM returns I think it’s going to be more kaminga and maybe

Jackson Davis who cops a bit of a hit there in that scenario but we did have that update there on the big fow Draymond Green let’s look at some waiver wire Trends over the last 24 hours who were the most added players nearly all of these ones were streamin for Christmas

Number one is Dante exom and we did get some news from uh the big F Jason kid about the starting lineup for the Mavs we got it drip fed to us over a couple of days because last time we talked that Dante exom was going to be the starter

And he is but apparently derck Jones is also going to be a starter and Grant Williams will come off the bench so they’re going to go with Kyrie Luca exom Jones and Lively at the start of the Season even before the preseason there is no way in the world I would I could

Have told you that was a starting line none none there was I didn’t think Lively was going to start exm get out of here Derek Jones was I think think he was signed to begin the season just a wild turn of events but yeah exm should

Be rosted I do think Jaden ivy should be rosted don’t know how it’s going to go don’t know what Monte Williams is going to do especially with Killian Hayes returning to action in the next game are we going to get screwed probably but we watch it

Paul Reed very very solid ad the result was less than solid but that made sense with him beat out Dante de venzo well we’re going to talk Nicks later on we’ll see what happens there and Brandon psky up 10% now on B monster his Advanced roster percentage metrics up to 91% so

Most people in leagues that are serious have rosted him unfortunately that doesn’t always reflect to the Yahoo roster percentage he’s still not at a high enough number there so there’s still ability for you guys to have a look and see if pods is available it

Would be wild to me if he was but if he is going at him and the last that list is Ru haimura and Ru haimura showed you why I talk about Ru haimura the way that I talk about ruy haimura in today’s game so yes I guess streaming him in for

Today and the fact that there’s three more quality games for the Lakers this week makes a little bit of sense but you know um most drop players T Horton tuer down 10% we got the update from the Jazz and it doesn’t really clarify a huge it clarifies a little bit both kont George

And ton Horton Tucker are questionable for Tuesday’s game if George plays Horton Tucker is not a a 12 team League guy if George is out and Horton Tucker does play Then he is a 12 team League guy and if both of them are out well Chris Dunn is the 12 Team league player

So all we know is that there is a 50-50 chance for both of them allegedly according to the questionable tag but that’s where at I don’t mind dropping Horton Tucker wasn’t a long-term thing Dylan Brooks down 9% absolutely cool do it matis thall down 8% we know what he

Is steals streamer block streamer fine ISAC auro down seven his role is relatively secure we don’t have an update yet whether Don Mitchell’s going to play but aoro got at least a little bit of value more for 14 teamers Ben Maan down six very clear drop and his

Teammate Isaiah Jackson down 6% as well he is now back to being the third string Center and of course we’re not going to mess around holding on to a third string Center waiting for something awesome to happen because it probably isn’t going to happen today’s episode is brought to you

Always know how uh Christmas works first game bucks Nicks Nicks win at 129 122 onto the buck side Yanni 39 minutes 32 136 one steel two blocks bad field goal or bad free throws good field goals it’s just a Yannis line we know what he does

By now Daman lard had 32 one and8 there were some people that were panicking about Lillard this season he’s 12th you probably picked him at 10th I couldn’t think of a more bang on draft pick at this point honestly that’s sort of exactly what you wanted and I know it’s

Been rough from Chris Middleton this season but like all right 33 minutes 242 and 6 43s if he gives your top 70 numbers the rest of the way can you probably picked him at 9 yeah you’re going right Brook Lopez 14 and6 one steel two blocks he is now 76th

Over the last two weeks his 51st for the season I think that 60 Mark is about right for him had a real slow start a red hot stretch and now sort of middling out which is good Bob poris 3 31 minutes for poris that’s really interesting now

He did the Bob Porter thing he basically though we actually Marvin Bagley it 12 and N no threes no assists no Steals and no blocks and that’s what poris does but if he does it in 30 minutes or he gets 30 minutes that’s enough to roster my problem was

He was playing like 22 minutes a night and even with Jay Crowder he just wasn’t playing enough but now he is leaky Beasley just the 19 minutes went scoreless 0 of two three rebounds two assists I said the other day I don’t think he’s a mustle player anymore he

Will have a stretch where he gets hot again but that’s it there’s so many of these guys that you can find during the season like toan Prince is rolling like that at the moment Beasley’s been really good this season but he’s now 142nd for the year

And that is just not a must user player so in fact Jack get that garbage out of here fine fair enough onto the Knicks and honestly it’s the same [ __ ] 41 minutes for Julius Randle 24-9 six of six on the line somehow this man is prime Steph Curry from the line and

Brunson had 38 4 and six in 37 minutes good numbers from those guys and then the rest is like a who knows of who cares or when does it happen we don’t know cuz today was a Josh Hart game 10- n with four assists in 31 minutes that

Brings Hart up to be the 81st player over the last two weeks because we can’t rely upon minutes or production Emanuel quickly he went off 20 points in 22 minutes with zero rebounds and one assist that brings him up to the 153rd player over the last two weeks and of

Course with those two going off it meant that Dante de venzo had three points in 21 minutes with four assists on 177% he’s actually been the best player over the last two weeks 102nd but the minutes are not there for everybody the production is not there so the har

Quickly divin chenzo and we’ll even throw Rowan Barrett Trump or c T into that that mix how do you trust any of them the answer is you can’t Barrett is now 167th over the last two weeks 158 for the season I look at all four of

Those guys and if I saw them on your 12 team roster I’d go fair enough and if I saw them on your waiver I’d also go fair enough and to me that’s the definition of a streamer you don’t have to have them you can have them if you do it’s

Fine but if you want to drop them it’s also fine because there’s too much back and forward back and forward with roll minutes usage it changes every game there’s not enough consistency in it Quinton Grimes has dropped way out of favor teams who are smart should go

After him the Knicks have been smarter in the front office so they probably won’t get rid of him but they should go after him hardenstein played 33 minutes 11 points eight rebounds four assists and a block he’s not spectacular but it’s good enough and what I feel

Confident with him is is the role is there each night and that makes him a must troster over a hard or a quickly or a Barrett or Divan chenzo he’s going to play 33 34 night and it’s going to be good enough to use him in most leagues

He’s 87th over the last two weeks so some good numbers from hartenstein solid enough production here uh in this one from him the second game of the day is one where I guess a lot of our fantasy attention ended up going and that was the Golden State Warriors and the Denver

Nuggets the Nuggets win it 120 1114 the final score but let’s talk psky 34 minutes for the big fella 139 and six with five steals now the five steals we know it’s it’s fluky it’s not going to be a thing that happens but he has a

Very innate ability to just do [ __ ] like that’s what psky does Brandon doit psky old DS over here 3DS Nintendo switch there you go Brandon switch psky 139 and6 5 steals 57% now the usage is really low but he played 34 minutes and honestly again he continues to show that

There is a debate to go huh is he the war second best player because at the moment he’s playing like it there’ll be nice where Kay does it if Draymond was available he might do it there Nots where Chris Paul does it but Pim is in the argument that’s a stupid argument to

Say about the 19th overall pick but he’s doing it over the last 2 weeks he’s the 58th ranked fantasy player as well there is absolutely zero reason not to roster PJ jimsky and I don’t want to hear well what about when Draymond comes back who cares like he

Actually might continue doing it Johnny kaminga the bucket 13 points five rebounds 23 minutes you know he’s going to just be a bad bad Omen for your free throw percentage in points leagues he’s obviously a bit stronger he hasn’t really blown up the way psky has with

Draymond out he’s okay to roster but if I’m choosing between them I’m choosing pods and this was a good Wiggins game 22 points 29 minutes 64% that’s his third good game for the season he has yet to do back to backs we’ll see again I don’t

Hate it if you want to get in front of it and think well maybe he’s figured it out I’m I’m not fooled by it yet but also I’m not going to be against that let’s talk bad let’s talk the bad stuff cuz Steph wasn’t very good 18 2 and four

33% he hit three threes he is now 52nd over the last two weeks and he’s 14th for the season I thought Steph would be much better than this season obviously I didn’t want to take him in the top six CU I was worried about games played and age and

That sort of stuff but I didn’t think that his actual production would regress because it has regressed not as much as what Klay Thompson says and we had Clay on watched watch for a while and then we decided we were going to take him off and so he’s

Playing a little bit better now I still worried somewhat about the efficiency but we’re back there and that’s that’s the thing with washed watch they can still put up big numbers they can still do it for short stretches but it ends up being the consistency Kay had nine

Points on 25% had a steal in a block he’s been really good but he’s not even 100 top 125 player this season you still want to roster him but the consistency has gone somewhat or to a large degree Chris Paul had 13 points in 28 minutes he has not really jumped up with

Draymond out in a 10 teamer I don’t think you need to hold on to Chris Paul Trace Jackson Davis 15 minutes he did have um some vou five fouls he had 8 and three and one thing we know about him is he is going to rack up numbers in

Limited minutes he is sort of trending downwards cuz they’re putting a bit more into Looney who played 22 minutes but I’m going to hold Jackson Davis for a couple more exactly just to see where this goes cuz there’s been a lot of games here where he has been better than

Shich and Looney the fouls limited him his last two haven’t been great he played a little bit next to shich which is also encouraging but it could die off very easily I’m holding him for now and Moses Moody basically out of the rotation not sure what’s going to happen

When Gary pton returns we’ll see I don’t think p is losing out there he has been too good to suggest that he would lose out to Gary pton for the Nuggets yic 264 and 8 now 33 from the field is horrible but 18 of 18 from the line is great he

Continues to be you not quite at his best but still pretty good while the head Master 28 and5 with two Steals and three threes for Jamaal Murray he’s on a nice little hot streak and Michael Ponder dropped in 19 and 10 and we got a

Good kcp game 16 points for oh I was going to trying to develop a nickname there off the fly for kavus K pop almost called him mad kavus K Pope but maybe I did let’s do it the mad man mad cavius 16 four and five two Steals and four

Threes with 46% shooting this his first real good offensive game in a while and that brings him up to 15th over the last two weeks try MO is a threes and steel streamer than anything else Gordon had a double double 16 and 10 with bad free throws that’s subst standed from him and

Then not much else Reggie Jackson’s Productions fallen off he did have a bit of a trip to the locker room but he had two points in 15 minutes you he still rosted in a lot of 12 team leagues and you do not need to do that get that

Gabbage out of here well Christian Brown played 11 minutes remember Christian Brown as the Bruce Brown replacement or the the guy that dominated in the finals Off the Bench he has not taken steps forward this season in fact some may suggest that he might have taken some steps backwards hm

Half but he returned and started the second half he played 33 minutes 190 to5 with three steals with some rough percentages on both ends he’s sort of been a bit worse than we usually expect but he’s he’s he’s okay in the middle Tatum free throw check Good News 12 of

13 we love that 28 and 11 two blocks so wrong as a wrong player 258 and seven for him with 40% from the fear which hurts but 92 from the line is great while Christ porzingis had 20 and 11 281 with two blocks on 58% shooting but he

Was the one who shot 57% from the line so good numbers for Pingas but 35 minutes is probably the big key there with him back hawford played Just 23 he had six and six you do not need to roster Al Horford unless Pingus is out

Get that gabbage out of here but they do have a back-to-back coming up and we know that haford is going to miss well actually not my I li they maybe they wrong team what happened there they they definitely do have a back-to-back coming up I am certain of it let me just double

Check this uh yeah Thursday Friday they’re going a back toback so there’s a chance pinga sits one and haford is streamy and then haford sits one of them and then you get the value of maybe neas ker the old pastel daata who could jump jump in there as well now interestingly

K was ahead of l cornette in the rotation even though cornette was available now he didn’t do anything but on the nights where haford or Pingas are out we can look at the pastel tanata and dinata sorry and stream him in that’s an kada bad knif for slam and Sami Hower

Two points in his 15 while the Derek white MVP train rolls on 1811 two threes two rebounds two steals two blocks 62% 10th over the last two weeks 29th for the season I just completely misevaluated what he was going to do which is crazy considering how much I

Loved Derk white just completely missed it Drew holiday 187 and7 been a nice recovery from him after a slow start to the season and not much else going on on the Boston side for the Lakers that starting lineup was there again and again I don’t care that like I said to

You the other day I didn’t care that they won the game the starting lineup is bad I think it was Yovan buar who tweeted out today they said the starting lineup in the two games they’ played has the NBA’s worst offensive rating and the NBA’s worst defensive

Rating because it’s bad he’s a badly spaced lineup that makes no sense Davis was great 39 minutes 40 and 13 with a block 58% tan Prince on a real heater 39 minutes you know why he has to play so much CU their lineups make no sense 17

And four with 53s you can roster him he’ll be like leaky Beasley though he’ll go cold at some point but you can roster him for now and LeBron had 169 and 8 in 37 minutes LeBron is definitely going to be questionable for next game as well he banked knees on the Jaylen Brown

Incident early in the game I cannot for the life of me understand the Austin Reaves thing and Doris Burke she’s a locked on listing Legend as well Doris shout out to you Doris commentating the game at the end of it she says I don’t get what’s happening I don’t understand

Why Austin Reeves is their third best player is coming off the bench and not playing and she said something which resonates with me and I’ve said it a million times she said someone said once hey maybe she was referencing me I don’t know she said when a player comes off

The bench while you can still give them more minutes it’s always hard to go that extra bit to give them the 33 34 they need when they come off the bench cuz in order to do that you have to end up playing them 15 consecutive minutes to

Get to that number it’s why it makes zero sense for Austin Reeves to be stuck at 28 a night he had 11 six and three look it’s totally okay and his numbers are fine he’s 53rd over the last two weeks in 30 minutes but he should be playing more he’s better than every

Other one of these bums out here yes does he suck on defense sure but you know tan Prince struggles cam reddish struggles everywhere Ru haimura is he a good defender of course he isn’t can he shoot no can he create no it just doesn’t make any sense to have your

Third best player play the eighth most amount of minutes I think at some point I don’t have a huge amount of faith in Dam but I think at some point that changes but I don’t I don’t get what’s happening and again don’t give a [ __ ] about defense he’s going to get attacked

On defense but everyone else that plays above him has way bigger weaknesses as for reddish Five Points in 18 minutes cool you OB you don’t need to roster him I hope it’s obvious well Haim mura 29 minutes that’s just too many Ru haimura minutes for a guy who I am sorry

Is just not very good 12 points three rebounds 36% no assists no steals no blocks bad efficiency no free throws offers nothing not a 12 team League player and D’Angelo Russell 18 minutes 81 and six now Jack you need to get Kraken here get that garage out of here because Russell um

Um is not playing well the only reason I would hold D’Angelo Russell is the quality games that are left this week that is it you only need to hold him for that no other reason because he’s benched I don’t think they’re putting him back into the starting lineup and

He’s not going to be getting 20 plus minutes a night but they play the three games in four nights all quality Games Starting Thursday so there’s a bit of a gap here no Tuesday Wednesday but there’s that three and four that is interesting so if you want to hold for

That by all means otherwise he’s a very clear drop very clear cuz I just don’t think that at anytime soon he’s jumping back into a larger role and 17 minutes a night is not going to cut it for D’Angelo Russell bad game again for him he’s at 81 and six like I mentioned

Vanderbilt played 23 head six and six like he’s fine as a Defender but he’s not going to be a fantasy guy there’s just not enough there not enough minutes enough production he’s not good enough as a player they need to fix this [ __ ] I I think it’ll take a while though for

Dham to do it he can be pretty pretty stubborn I we do it in 10 game slots or whatever he says so I think we’re going to have some real rough moments here but it’s why like if you invest in an Austin Reeves as a by low maybe that it might

Work out because I think it eventually will change but it is just going to take um a little bit of time for us to get there unfortunately all right so it’s Christmas Day game so it’s a tradition well it’s the second year we’re doing it

Ben is here my son ready to uh ready to talk about the game that we sat down and watch the Sixers and the he if you go back and watch last year’s video reckon you’ll see you look a little bit different from that a little bit a

Little bit Yeah from that video there but here we are ready to talk about the uh about the Sixers and the heat from Christmas day all right Ben take it away all right so Tobias Harris he had 27 points seven rebounds six assists one steel no blocks uh Reed he uh actually

Started today in replacement for Jo lmb he struggled he got into some foul trouble early and he had four points two rebounds one assist no Steals and a block now replacing Reed today was moamba the absolute legend that he is he played an unbelievable game 18

Points uh what is that six rebounds two assists two Steals and no blocks but still an outstanding game from him nonetheless uh Maxi [ __ ] ass game from him he had 12 points three rebounds five assists one steel one block UB outstanding um from him today 25 points

On nine for 16 field goals six for n from three from him which was just unbelievable uh he also had seven rebounds three assists one steal and one block and then DeAnthony Melton had 15 points seven rebounds five assists four Steals and a block so the read one was

Obviously annoying he had uh four fouls in the first eight minutes now of course he took had one foul for the rest of the game but he went out bumber came in and I think bumber had like 11 points he scored in a row which put his numbers up

He still sucks bum like don’t get Fool by it like embiid might miss the game on Wednesday that’s cool that might happen I don’t think you need to rush to add um bumber if you wanted to hold on to Reed in case mbid doesn’t play against

Orlando when as they do it but whatever like it’s not going to be the end of the world and Max like it was just bad like he just missed everything I think he was over 12 or something to start the game I don’t think he even scored in the first

Half he had a stinker Kelly UB got red hot but so much of this is a to do with him B not being there so UB played a lot more and Batum also being out but also just shots went in for him they didn’t go in for Maxi it’s what happens there

Two big ones in a row for Harris also and a strong game like for melon so like it’s interesting but I don’t know how much it like changes our opinion on on what these guys do it’s just that Bumble one we know we know what bumber does

Right when he plays he can do these things but he’s just so bad in terms of positioning and defense that he’s not going to get to do it often enough all right so on to the Miami Heat who get a a big win uh so yep the heat today um

Triple J the hottest 100 H HZ Jr had a massive game 31 points shot unbelievably 1115 from the field and he actually had 10 rebounds an assist two steals no blocks but that is an unbelievable game from him and uh Josh what were your pre-draft thoughts on uh old mate

Yes I uh I was people watching this definitely know what my uh pre-draft thoughts were on haime yeah I was not not a big fan but he has uh he’s been good I still maintain that um he maybe is not going to be all that good long

Term but what do I know he’s been awesome um here and this was another game where he just he just couldn’t miss he just his shooting was unbelievable he fills a huge role with um Butler out Richardson out they lost Caleb Martin so look they just always something weird is

Going on and he stepped up and you can’t ask for much more than that honestly no you really can’t and I think this is is going to be another Keegan Murray situation with you Josh so get ready to be hearing a lot more about H from me so

Uh yeah Kaleb Martin went out early only played nine minutes today uh spraying his ankle and that allowed for HZ to play a lot more and also Miami Hit alltime franchise three-point leader Duncan Robinson was outstanding today 16 points five of 10 from three he had four

Rebounds two assists a steal no blocks uh Tyler herro in his third game back uh played a really good one ah he’s looking really good so 22 points for him six rebounds five assists one steel one block um Lowry uh 33 minutes for him today he had 12 total points one rebound

Four assists one steel two blocks and adabo had 26 points 915 shooting from the field which is not bad whatsoever uh 15 rebounds five assists no Steals and three blocks yeah I thought bam was really good defensively especially um but he was hitting a ton of of mid-rangers on Paul Reed Larry’s

Interesting cuz he’ll play 20 minutes one game You’ll Play 33 the other I don’t know how to like work out how it’s going to work for him so like while these guys are out and Butler and Richardson and now Martin like you can do it and I still don’t understand the

Rotations because we saw Kevin Love starting ahead of Caleb Martin in one game Martin goes down and love doesn’t start they start RJ Hampton so look trying to figure out how that’s all going to work is is really tough but the way that Robinson’s playing now that

There are these three sort of wing players injured Duncan’s going to have a level of value you can have him I you don’t have to but like the scoring the threes they’re pretty strong he’s doing a lot more stuff that isn’t just um spot

Up three is what he used to do in the past he’s been you really improved in that area but they’re still a hard team to figure out long term because they just consistent cycling of guys in and out and you know General saus and his C

When he’s going to return like we don’t know it’s it’s all up in the air but it’s a huge win they always seem to find a way to do it I guess that’s what they uh that’s what they call heat culture it is we love the heat culture oh yeah

Massive heat culture guys over here all right so Ben that is uh another Christmas Day cameo in the books so thank you thank fun thank you thank you again for joining and um just I hope you look forward to watching the charges in the playoffs this season should be fun H

Really hope we’re looking forward to the dolphins getting another massive playoff win just like they got last year and the year before that and for the last 20 years so that’s going to be a lot of fun for everybody to watch at least we’re going to be there so that’s uh that’s

All we got to say about that one anyways thanks guys I will most likely see you this date next year enjoy all right let’s do the final game of the night the Mavericks get the big win over the Suns who are yeah they’re firmly in struggle mode at the moment Phoenix 124 Dallas

114 Phoenix Dallas did this without Kyrie Irving but they did get Derek Lively back which is obviously really key for them but it was all luuka honestly 44 minutes for donic 50 points eight rebounds sorry 83es six rebounds 15 assists four steals three blocks 60% shooting 12 of 12 from the line it’s

Honestly one of the best games that we’ve seen all season we also heard Jason kid drip feed us more information about their lineup he said last time that exm was going to continue to start when they were healthy and he also told us today that Derk Jones was going to

Continue to start so what we saw happen was Grant Williams moved to the bench and that’s a permanent move Tim Hardway had the other spot and that’s going to be taken by Kyrie Highway had 18 and S with three threes he’s still going to have a big role and he’s worth having

For now while Jones had 23 points with 3 threes in 35 minutes probably worth holding and Dante exom 74 and 5 probably worth having as well Lively good to have him back 32 minutes 20 and 10 89% back in business go and grab him off the wire

If he’s sitting there which he shouldn’t be but he might be um Williams still played 27 coming off the bench but he had uh three blocks three points and three rebounds a weird Chris scale good numbers in terms of the blocks but nothing else is good and we don’t Rost

To him in 12 or 14 team leagues for the Suns you should be rosting Grayson Allen but I’ve been on this for over a week and a half now probably longer 32 points 39 minutes for Grayson eight triples four rebounds four assists 55% shooting as long as be is

Out we roster Grayson Allen this is not a tough decision he’s available everywhere you do it Eric Gordon prioritized behind him but he had 14 points with one rebound and two assists Booker played 40 minutes 20 points 10 assists and Durant struggled 16 points took 11 shots eight rebounds seven

Assists The Vibes are off in Phoenix in a pretty big way at the moment so hopefully they can get things figured out but it doesn’t look doesn’t look good at the moment does it and Beal still a few weeks away Drew EU Banks started two games in place of us nich

And he stunk in both of them one game he was outplayed by udoka as a buuk in this one it was chimi metu Eubanks had two points and seven rebounds in his 17 minutes get that gabage out of here nerkish is likely back on Wednesday while metu went bananas 23 and 19 with

23es for chimi that is a great game I wouldn’t bother to add him cuz again he’s probably going to be the third string Center on Wednesday but that’s just a huge performance not much else going on there Josh kogi returned had another locker room trip had one two and

Two and he is obviously nowhere near um decisions for us in fantasy so that’s the games the five of them done um across Christmas let’s have a look how the stream of the day went it was all right but not great the 10 Team Stream of the day was um Isaiah hartstein here

118 and 4 the 12 Team Stream of the day that was awesome was Grayson Allen 324 and4 with a steel the six the 14 team was Paul Reed well we were in good position for it just didn’t work out due to fouls uh four two and one with a

Block the 16 team is stunk because it was Drew Eubanks he had four sorry 2 and seven with a steel the Yahoo Point stream was Brandon psky who had 45.8 fantasy points that’s a huge W and the ESPN stream of the day was Dante exom who didn’t do a huge amount especially

For points leagues he had 19 fantasy points um in that spot that’ll bring us through now to talk about the lines of the night and we will start by talking about the Monstrous line of the night and there has literally never been anything that is further from a debate

Than deciding that it was going to be Luca donic 50 50 points 14 assists he had rebounds he had threes he had steals he had blocks he did everything at Le percentages one of the best games honestly that you will ever see that is how good that performance was from Luca

Donic your waiver wire line of the night the best performance from a player rosted in under 50% of leagues Grayson Allen came hard for it but he didn’t end up getting there in the end because Brandon pimpy’s overall line was better he only scored like 13 points but he had

Nine rebounds six assists and five Steals and that got psky over the line barely ahead of Grayson Allen but psky wasn’t the best rookie on the day that who do you think that went to I think you would know who it went to it went to

The big fow himself in not Dallas in Miami haime hakz 31 points Elite shooting 10 rebounds another two steals continues to be really strong and the injuries continue to pile up in Miami so his role continues to be awesome great good stuff and lastly we look at the dud

Of the night I want to put his sets up it’s not going to look completely dudish but it has to be Tes Maxi he did have 12 points but he shot 20% from the field on huge volume and he was 50% from the line so it’s put you in a gigantic gaping

Hole for your field goal percentage for the week that’s not ideal let’s get the show closed out by looking at the top six players for the day um the top six players for category leagues today of course number one was donic followed by Anthony Davis ha hakz

Nicola yic Brandon psky and Derek white comes in at number six your top six players in or who rosted in under 50% leagues psky still under 50 just going at him he’s not going to last forever going at him Grayson Allen still under 50 going at him um Chi metsu don’t worry

About it Kelly UB maybe maybe look he was really good today but we know he’s up and down if embiid does miss the next game I’m more into UB Moomba I guess you could stream if embat is out but that’s not a long-term solution and Josh the

Hit man H well we know there we stream in we drop we add we do a bunch of stuff nothing secure in his role your top six players in Yahoo points leagues today donic Janis Anthony Davis um B bio Jaylen Bronson and Chris daps Paul zingis lastly let’s just have a look at

The um little checklist that we put up to end the show of the guys that we need to make sure we’re going on adding psky and Allen this they’re below 50 for now they won’t be for long just go and grab him who knows how long any of that lasts

But it doesn’t really matter the other one there is tan Prince who is not necessarily going to be awesome every game but he’s on a hot streak the N is shooting he’s playing a lot of minutes I’m not not far off that one D’Angelo Russell is a drop if unless you want to

Keep him for the um Quality game volume and the last one is leaky Beasley who is going to be hot and cold he’s cold at the moment you move on you grab somebody else and then you bring him in later on and that is the end of the Christmas Day
