[NBA University] The Atlanta Hawks are 750-750 in their last 1,500 games. They have achieved perfect mid.

Bucks beat the top team in the West on the road crickets

Bucks lose an unimportant game before ASB real shit

We also beat the Nuggets convincingly "Nah the Nuggets weren't into it"

Beat the shit out of the Celtics "they were on the 2nd night of a b2b"

Beat the Mavs on the road nothing

Doc is always "making excuses" but what are they doing?

What reason is there to follow any of them? Also seems like Giannis can't get the MVP despite carrying the team so far with Dame being not even average

Us against the world, I guess

[NBA University] The LA Lakers are 661-661 in their last 1,322 games. They have achieved perfect mid.

Injuries/Roster Notes

BRATE

Suns fan here. Why the actual fuck did this question keep getting asked and everyone was like ANT ANT ANT!!!!

bruh….. WEMBY OBVI- dude is sitting here averaging 20/10/3 and 3 BLOCKS.

This guy is him. Good luck every other team for the next decade. -_-

How anyone could say anyone else for face of the NBA astonishes me.

Scottie Pippen: Six rings, better defender, did well as the main man in 93-94, arguably the greatest second man in NBA history, and showed up in big moments.

Charles Barkley: Led his team to the finals, MVP, great rebounder, great scorer, monstrous playoff runs, phenomenal as the main man, unfortunately ran into Michael Jordan.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has 29 games between 30-34 points this season. That's the highest in NBA history. The previous leader was 1978-1979 George Gerwin.

A steal is someone who was either projected a lot higher than their draft position or someone who was picked later than they should've been picked and blossomed aka positional value. I'll start with my favorite steals: nikola jokic, domantas sabonis, and alperen sengun. I went with a common theme here too because these guys are my 3 favorite bigs in the league. List some more steals in the nba draft in the past 10 seasons below.

So I used to just google “miami heat” and if there is a game going on it would show the current score

Now it just shows news articles

Wtf is up with that smh

wall of text is back since it's a tiny 3 game slate that looks awful but i did end up having a good night tonight and cashing on main slate even with mobley and nwora. Hope you all had a great night and let's bring back the wall of text for you legends that have been around going on 5 years now. Crazy to think it's been this long. hope im still doing it for at least 5 more to hit a decade <3. seriously i appreciate this sub to hell. Apologies that this post is so long lol

Edit: pp vid -

If discord is something you are interested in, Will have a link below where i have in-depth content going over each slate, player pools for cash/gpps. cores and much more <3

Edit: all the plays im super high on are giga chalk. surprised harris isn't more owned. cole anthony also giga chalk which is fine i guess but range of outcomes with him are up and down. I will be playing that core from last night outside of gary harris. still might play him, not sure

Edit: gobert sprained his ankle last night. he said last night he should be fine but a sprained ankle gets worse over night. one way you can go about this slate to get different is play for him out and play guys like kyle anderson over the ORL chalk. i don't mind slomo at no ownership over the ORL guys anyway but if gobert is out he becomes much better at a fraction of the ownership. naz reid to

ORLANDO VS DETROIT (227 O/U)

Probably my favorite game or team to target in orlando on the slate

ORLANDO

Paolo Banchero ($8,400) - Overall Paolo looks like one of the best mid range/spend ups on the slate. nut matchup against Detroit and still a good price. Leading his team with a staggering 29% usage rate, i love paolo in this spot

Franz Wagner ($7,300) - Franz is also another very very good play to me in the mid range, a lot of guys are still priced up or in bad spots so if you can't afford poalo i think franz is another very good option in another good spot. franz is 2nd on the team in usg with 26% usg rate

Wendell Carter Jr ($5,100) - Wendell and Mo should split the center minutes. I think both are good point per dollar plays and one of them will be in the closing lineup, just trying to figure out who is tough. I think if they need offense it could be mo but this spot does seem a bit better for WCJ to close. i think both are good PPD plays.

Jalen Suggs ($4,800) - Suggs is probably my favorite value on the slate. they started gary harris last game, suggs will have the ball in his hands a decent amount and should play over 30 minutes. i really like him at this price for value.

Gary Harris ($3,900) - Assuming harris starts i also think he is another solid value. scoring dependent so if popular (expect him to be) could make the argument to fade but it's tough to ignore this cheap of a starter on this small of a slate that is starting (assuming he does again). him and suggs both stand out to me

Jonathan Isaac ($3.700) - Isaac i actually think is another decent punt. he has closed games as well but should usually play around 15ish minutes and good point per minute. don't mind him

Mo Wagner ($3,600) - Same thing I said about WCJ will apply to mo. i honestly don't mind him anyway at this price even if he doesn't close. he is one of the better PPM guys on this team and has a staggering 22% usg rate. kinda like isaac he can smash in limited run.

Overall a ton to like with orlando tomorrow. not to interested in black. he got extended because of suggs getting hurt. cole is a fine play.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PISTONS - Just keep in mind the pistons rotation is going to be absolutely disgusting for the rest of the year so if you are targeting anyone be prepared to get trolled.. Grimes will be available to make his debut but not sure if will be in rotation. if he is it completely takes fournier and the other bench pieces out of play. not to high on them anyway.

Cade Cunningham ($8,100) - Rotation was a bit wonky last game but In a close game should play over 30 minutes, I prefer getting up to like ant over cade but if you can not afford ant or paolo cade is okay. id rank the orlando guys and the MIN guys ahead of him ppd.

Jalen Duren ($6,900) - Duren should play around 30 minutes, not the best spot but center is pretty weak, Just looks fine to me.

Jaden Ivey ($6,300) - Ivey got benched 2 games ago but played big minutes last game, Don't mind him in GPP's. prefer cade but if this game stays close it's going to be either ivey or cade having a big game.

Ausar Thompson ($5,500) - Ausar is priced right but i still like him. A lot of this slate is priced up or in bad spots. Expecting around 30 minutes.

Simone Fontecchio ($4,600) - Ok so Simone is a guy im actually pretty high on tomorrow that i do not think will get a lot of ownership. Projection sites are importing his season rates into projections but his rates on this detroit team are far better. he is .87 PPM on this Detroit team in a small sample but I think people will over look him in this spot.

Overall not to much to love on this side of the game. Like i said im good with cade/ivey/duren as solid plays, but not stand outs to me like everyone on orlando. my favorite overall plays are ausar and simone here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BOSTON VS NYK (222.5 O/U) - No rotation changes for BOS. NYK we need to monitor if hartenstein is going to get his minutes ramped up or not. he was on a heavy limit last game.

Jason Tatum ($10,300) - If you are looking solely for raw points, tatum and brunson are your top 2 options on this slate. I think i like brunson slightly more PPD but with no other spend ups tatum does look like one of the better ones if you plan on spending up. 30% usg rate

Jaylen Brown ($7,700) - I think brown is decent in the mid range but I honestly prefer tingus pingus. With Hartenstein probably on a limit he should be able to feast against sims and precious. 27% usg

Kristaps Porzingis ($7,500) - Like i said above I think i honestly prefer porzingis to brown but both look pretty similar at there price points. I give the edge to zingus. On a normal slate none of these guys would stand out to me at all but it's only a 3 game slate so there firmly in play. 24% usg

Derrick White ($6,700) - Neither white or jrue stand out to me at there price points. Really just filler plays for me. prefer white to jrue.

Jrue Holiday ($6,100) - Neither white or jrue stand out to me at there price points. Really just filler plays for me. prefer white to jrue.

Overall another pretty unappealing team. As far as bench guys go I don't think ill be getting to anyone on the bench.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NYK

Jalen Brunson ($9,700) - Brunson is probably my overall spend up between him and tatum PPD. so one of the better spend ups on the slate.

Donte Divincenzo ($7,400) - I prefer donte to precious since they are so close in price but also like the ceiling more. But once again they are both still over priced imo.

Precious Achiuwa ($7,100) - If hartenstein continues to be on a heavy limit, precious will benefit but don't love the price here.

Josh Hart ($6,500) - Josh hart should continue to play huge minutes, I actually do like him here. Very safe. Pricing is tough on this slate so raw points are just going to matter. rather then having flames, etc.. not going to mean to much on this slate.

Isaiah Hartenstein ($6,400) - Need to monitor limit, I would expect him to be on one so if he is, completely out of play for me.

Jericho Sims ($3,800) - If hartenstein remains on a limit, sims should see high teens minutes but I would rather just play Mo Wagner.

Overall once again pretty bleh but really like brunson and i think hart is solid.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BKN vs MIN (217 O/U) - Nothing of note with MIN rotations but it is a back to back. Ollie ran some hockey subs but mikal/thomas and claxton were on pace for big minutes. Super tough spot for BKN but you can say that about most teams on this slate.

BKN

Mikal Bridges ($7,200) - Mikal looks pretty good to me at this price point. He was on pace to play a ton of minutes until the game blew out. he reached 35 minutes and lost a good chunk at the end. 25% usg rate this season, Him and cam thomas in this lineup should dominate usage.

Cam Thomas ($7,000) - Same with Mikal, Cam ended the game at 30 minutes and lost a good chunk to the blowout. Cam is averaging a whopping 30% usg rate on the season but it is a bit inflated. I like his ceiling in GPPs

Nic Claxton ($6,800) - Claxton ended at 32 minutes before the blowout. If ollie is going to play him this many minutes then I do really like him and I don't think to many people will play him because of the matchup. High risk/reward play that is intriguing in GPP's

Ben Simmons ($5,600) - Ben ended at 21 minutes before the blowout. I think he would of probably played 23ish, maybe more if he closed but not entirely sure he would of. I am intrigued in GPP's just because he is good PPM and if you give him 25 minutes at this price he could be a solid PPD play at no ownership tomorrow.

Overall I don't mind some plays here on the nets. The hockey subs are annoying but some of the guys were on pace for huge minutes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MIN

Anthony Edwards ($9,200) - Ant I really like here. Give the edge to brunson and tatum straight up but he also looks very solid to me even at this price point. Good spot individually as well as brooklyn ranks pretty badly against SGs. Obviously leads the team in usage.

Karl Anthony Towns ($7,900) - KAT is another play i really really like. the knicks are priced around where KAT is and that is just wrong. Similar in price to the nets as well. Really like KAT

Rudy Gobert ($7,600) - Gobert is solid, in close games hes going to play all the minutes he can handle but i prefer getting up to KAT if you can.

Mike Conley ($5,300) - Conley at this price point is pretty safe. probably not going to win you a GPP but won't kill you either.

Jaden Mcdaniels ($4,100) - Good defender and a fair price point. Fine to me as a filler value

Kyle Anderson ($3,900) - Should see teens minutes off the bench. similar to isaac but prefer the ORL guys slightly.

Overall def one of the better teams to target on this slate. b2b just keep an eye on the injury report.

EARLY CORE FOR YOU GUYS/TOP PLAYS - does not mean I will be playing these guys. just for fun

Paolo Banchero

Jalen Suggs

Karl-Anthony Towns

Gary Harris (least fav)

They upload game sometimes about an hour after games ends , most times about 4 hours after game and every once in awhile you have to wait 12 hours.

You do not have to sign up for anything , if your asked don't , it's a ad. I have ad blocker so I do not know if they have them.

Title says it all. I saw a comment recently saying James Harden was really good at getting downhill in his prime

Ive also seen it thrown around numerous other times. What exactly doest it mean? Isnt the court flat and level? How are we getting downhill? How id downhill different from any other striaght line drive to the basket? What modern players are good at getting downhill?

Thanks!
