great great [Music] good morning welcome to fantasy sports today here on sports grid i'm craig mish along with davis matic we've got a lot covered here on the show today naturally big uh of course huge events coming up this weekend in soccer of course golf as well not to mention tonight's nba game which we're gonna preview no doubt uh but davis you know obviously last night uh all of sports overshadowed by the tragedy in texas no question about that a very difficult day uh to see what happened t
here and we would be remiss if we did not obviously mention this at the top of the show it is on everybody's minds uh the distraction that we have right now as humans and people is watching sports and i suppose no solace in any wins last night in losses but at the very least here on this show that's what we do we talk sports uh davis last night the dallas mavericks came up very big and have extended this game to at least one more in uh california yeah and you have to feel like the uh the golden
state warriors got to be a little bit disappointed feels like they could have got uh you know a nice little rest in they probably would have gotten about a week off if you include travel and and everything like that and you know the the lack of rest in these conference finals not not showing up a ton in the western conference finals but i think is showing up a lot in the eastern conference games robert williams marcus smart derek white tyler hierro kyle lowry jimmy butler have all missed time i
saw this point raised by some of the guys on on nba twitter last week but you know the addition of the play end games does compress the schedule for the playoffs a little bit so uh worth wondering if maybe there needs to be a couple more rest days built in once we get to the conference finals because no one no one no one enjoys the asterisk playoffs right no one wants to no one wants to be talking about the celtics winning a championship and then people are saying all summer well would the celti
cs have really won if jimmy butler's knees were we're good to go yeah no and i think those are all fair points we're all you know sort of looking for different angles with this but no question uh you know dallas normally teams that go down 0-3 don't win the fourth game i know that you thought they had a chance to win last night so that certainly did come true we'll just kind of have to see which way the series goes let's get to our headlines here at the top of the show of course luka doncic amaz
ing last night he forces a game five a lot of people feel like the series now is over but who knows people thought that yesterday too jock peterson with a monster game last night for the giants three home runs helps lift the giants over the mets in late inning fashion peterson said he talked to barry bonds right before the game and that gave him some inspiration interesting there jose trevino drives in the game-winning run on his late father's birthday that was of course very emotional to see an
d over in the nhl davis the rangers and oilers defend homicides in game four victory so naturally we talked a ton about dallas and golden state as they will play eventually we think golden state probably wins this series as they already have a three to one lead but you know where my mind is tonight as far as basketball is concerned it's got to be on the miami heat we're down to the final three games in the series no team has really i would say imposed their will on a back-to-back game basis that
's sort of you know it happens in the nba like this when you have a seven game series one team wins one one team wins the other home court doesn't even really seem to be a factor in this one so i'm curious your thoughts how you think it may go yeah i mean i i feel comfortable saying the boston celtics are the better team you know i think they they work the edges a little bit better they do have the best defense in the nba but uh they've been very careless with the ball right in the two games the
y've lost they have turned the ball over 38 times in the two games that they have won 19 total turnovers in those two games and i also do think that the mighty heat have the coaching advantage uh you know maudoka has obviously done some great things as the coach of the boston celtics obviously engineered this incredible defense he has gotten jayson tatum to take the next level which i think is is you know that's a huge job of being a coach is helping your superstar player become everything they
can be but eric spoelstra is i think basically a basketball genius you know if i was if i if i was the owner of an nba team spoelstra would probably be the first guy that i would i'd call his agent however uh really to me basically it it's this simple if jimmy butler's knee is at 50 60 not a chance no way you know i pretty much think that the heat are going to get ran out of the building over the next two games however if jimmy is like 80 percent 90 i think we're pretty close i also think we saw
what happened with tyler hierro out of the rotation for them they they had what was it 49 points through three quarters uh and and we talked about this on the show yeah and and oladipo did a heroic job something we talked about potentially happening with hero out of the rotation was all the depot having to shoulder that load but again oh the depot shot diet is like he's a 2003 nba player he wants to shoot a lot of 17 footers hiro great shooter very good at running the pick and roll and so i do
think hiero being hopefully back in the lineup tonight for miami should be pretty big for them and now it's it's the best of three series i mean anything can happen yeah definitely so looking forward to the final three games there no question also looking forward to setting a dfs lineup for tonight's game and we've got one player in particular who was so highly priced if you put in the captain spot gonna ask davis if this is worth it when we come back next so make sure you stay on the grid hey a
lso dubs is gonna join us a little bit later in the show we'll go over everything else happening in sports and some potential positions that you can take in terms of wagering fantasy reality sports grid 60 and everything else that we normally do here on fantasy sports today we got you covered here on the show today afternoon baseball coming up as well no doubt uh also don't forget join us today two o'clock eastern on newswire i'll be posting with you uh my buddy carlin gay from sporting news is
going to be with us also we will talk plenty about the nba games going on as well so stay on the grid here on this wednesday you're off and running and happy to be with you don't go anywhere [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] sports grid your 24 7 sports wagering network [Music] they play less games the early life look at the top four seats here in the big ten they're going to play rogers arizona pharrell coast to coast i don't think ballard liked him uh i couldn't believe it game time decisions
bizarre would you consider like the everybody is out for the warriors in game live all access he's going to come out flying he's going to crash the board in game live prime time seven and a half ten game live overtime all done before the final bet get the winning edge only on sports grid the morning after you think either the phil's or the braves can make a run here against the short-handed mets to make up some ground in the national league east they're four in one sense that with a win over th
e st louis cardinals who's going to be the postseason hunt one two took two out of three against the rockies who are great in colorado they just beat the san francisco giants so i don't want to dismiss the phillies or the braves because last year those teams looked dismissible the sports grid network fantasy sports today if luka doncic is end of the optimal captain in fact the winning lineup for game three this is true the team that won uh you know fifty thousand dollars or whatever in game thre
e had luca and the captain and included steph curry so it had a guy at a thousand dollars who did not get in the game who registered zero points i i have never seen that happen before in nba dfs showdown on draftkings the sports grizz network sports press recaro instead of the 1.3 trillion dollar business of sports with your daily numbers game novak djokovic and refusal to take a vaccine deported from australia that's all added up they say he made about 42 million dollars a year in endorsements
he's lost about 10 million which is the value of the pujo patch and another 10 the ukg patch those aren't my numbers but they're estimates he's had conversations with lacoste and their ceo they say they're sticking by him for now the bottom line is he is a very talented very entrepreneurial very outspoken special athlete whether he sustains his boardroom charm may remain to be seen certainly at 20 majors we'll see if he has others in him many tennis fans say he and federer and nadal's battle inc
redibly intriguing for the state of tennis we'll have to see sports professor ricardo daily numbers game [Music] well as we mentioned tonight big game in the nba's eastern conference between miami and boston and so that actually gives us an opportunity to go over some of the dfs possibilities tonight over on draftkings by the way all of this information absolutely free over at dailyroder.com davis and his team from dailyroto optimizing lineups for you each and every day and uh and davis look the
single game slates i know you enjoy them a lot it's i mean look this series has been i would say predictable in the sense that we know that we were going to get here but how we got here i guess is a little bit more of the confusing part because no team has really shown that they're better than the other it's just been win loss win loss win loss yeah and you know i think a huge part of that just has to deal with with all of the injuries that both teams have had and and you know derek white misse
d the game for personal i i believe he went to go for the birth of his child i i believe was the personal reasons that he missed one of the games but hierro has missed a game smart has missed a game lowry has missed a game robert williams has missed a game jimmy butler has missed a half max drews pj tucker and gabe vincent have all been dealing with injuries so it it's sort of interesting like you know we're sitting here uh about uh eight hours before tip-off and we don't really know exactly wha
t the team's rotations are gonna look like you know robert williams has been in and out the team has started daniel feis in his spot uh i don't think they will do that tonight he did return to action in game four but remember this is a need that he had uh i i don't remember if he had it surgically repaired or if he just rested and rehabbed it but it caused him to miss about five weeks of uh you know action so they've kind of moved him in and out he missed games in the milwaukee series as well i
will uh i will make the prediction right now that if robert williams does not play emma udoka will not start daniel theiss he is going to start grant williams and greg williams is going to play a ton and i think uh is going to play a ton regardless uh either way all right well let's take a look at the lineup tonight that you have davis and uh and see what we can do here tonight see if we can make some money over on draftkings jason tatum you got in the captain spot 16200 clearly the best player
on the court when he's right bam adabaya was up to 8 800 tonight in the flex tyler hero 6200 al horford shows up here tonight in the lineup at 7800 derrick white at five and then grant williams at 5200. all right let's break it down so i i do think that with some of these potential injuries tonight you know whether kyle lowry doesn't play whether hero doesn't play whether jimmy butler is you know just we we all get it right and then on the celtics side too grant williams marcus smart i i think t
he smartest way to go tonight is to use a higher priced guy in captain actually similar to what we've seen in the mavericks warrior series where several times you did need steph curry or luka doncic to be in the captain even if it meant taking a zero or taking a guy who played like four minutes or something like that and tatum has been unbelievable uh in this series uh 51 points in game four 43 points 55 points 43 points uh did have a horrible uh game for uh or a game three against miami in that
that 103 109 loss he had only 21 draftkings points there but he's getting to the line he is uh you know just taking loads and loads of shots so i do think that tatum is the best captain tonight and at a bio i'm just craig i'm just going to keep going back to him because i i did think that that 63 point game was in him had him in our lineup here on the show in that game what happens in game four robert williams is back in the lineup grant williams does a good job against him adebayo is horrible
in that game so funny to see that 63 draftkings points game surrounded by an 18 point game in game four and a 19 point game in game two now definitely i think those poor performances are gonna feed into his ownership right you know the fact that he got the price hike after the big game and then immediately followed that up with a stinker but you know another thing you know i was talking about jimmy butler if he's not at 100 it's gonna be hard for them to win also very hard for the miami heat to
win if bam is not going to be aggressive on offense because you don't you don't really want to be a team of championship aspirations relying too much on pj tucker gabe vincent max truce and also you know the backup center minutes for the heat have been a nightmare pj tucker they're losing his minutes as the backup center huge dwayne deadman has played like 18 minutes in this series he's like a minus 25 they just get absolutely crushed when bam doesn't play now is bam gonna play 48 minutes like n
o obviously not but we're getting down to the wire here they can't really afford to be losing those games i think we could see 44 minutes 43 minutes for adebayo in in these games uh and that hiro coming back after missing the game feel pretty strongly that spoelstra is best you know his best chess move right now uh i don't think he'll start tyler hierro you know that that would be like a real desperation move but it wouldn't surprise me if max truce or you know who or pj tucker whoever he decide
s to sub out sees like a four minute rotation at the beginning of each half and then he immediately goes in with the arrow uh mostly because i do even if jimmy butler is feeling better i don't think they want jimmy you know dribbling handling the ball for like lots and lots of time i think they want to try and ease him through these games as best they can easiest way to do that is either hiro or lowry having a big game and i know kyle lowry well enough to know at this point that like he doesn't
really like to do that i mean he like you know the the best kyle lowry ever played was the year that he played with kawhi leonard because he felt so free to just be a passer to play great defense you know doing lots of cuts standing in the corner like kyle kyle lowry doesn't want to take 20 shots in a game but tyler hierro absolutely does uh al horford has been the the resurgence of al horford craig is like it's like kind of unbelievable to me i mean this was a guy who was salary dumped to oklah
oma city it was it you know the 76ers were desperate to get off of his money and he's been uh honestly better than jaylen browning but i think probably the second most important boston celtic in these playoffs 34 and 49 points in his last two games they have used him a ton as the primary defender on adebayo which i think explains why adebayo has struggled really outside of that one game feel really good about him and then our final two guys here grant williams and derek white if marcus smart and
robert williams don't play i think oh really if if one or the other misses right because grant williams has subbed in for both guys when they miss time both smart and robert williams but grant williams if he is a starter feel really good about him derek white if marcus smart doesn't play feel really good about him as well he actually had his uh a phenomenal game in game four at least for fantasy went four for 14 from the field but had 13 points eight rebounds six assists so feel pretty good abo
ut derek white's role yeah you mentioned al horford and to me it is probably one of the more fascinating parts of this nba eastern conference finals now davis i of course went to the university of florida now horford played there long after i was gone but davis those teams went to back to back final fours and championships corey brewer i'm sure you remember his name joking noah she'll remember his name too like the fact that he played on those teams i mean that long ago you're right i mean to me
if boston wins it is probably one of the bigger stories of the eastern conference finals i mean no clue that he was still playing at this level yeah i mean and and he wasn't oklahoma city sent him home like he was on the oklahoma city thunder and they were like there's no reason for you to be playing here and no one wanted to trade for him right no one no one was like begging for al horford and they negotiated a way to get him on to the boston celtics but i mean and it does go to show that like
you know the danny ainge brad stevens brain trust has taken a lot of crap over the years because they they've had all these picks they've had all these assets they haven't made it to the finals i don't think a lot of teams would have been able to rehab al horford and use him in such a way so i i do have to give big credit to the celtics organization getting here yeah no doubt it's it's to me interesting story um never seen anything like the health in both of these series in the nba that was a t
opic you've been talking about a lot i i just don't ever recall having to wonder if players are in or out so often outside of covid no question that's been happening last two years but the actual injury part of this is so fascinating for both sides as you mentioned with hero and robert williams i mean we're in the east finals only a few games left we don't even know who's going to play sometimes all right coming up next dubs is in the house time to talk some pga tour golf we've got the charles s
chwab challenge coming up next we'll talk about who to target in dfs right after this quick timeout craig mitch davis madding doug sanders joins us next right here on fantasy sport great today [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] your heart's racing the clock's running out it all comes down to this we're talking pregame pre-game pre-game get locked in with game time decisions your hosts gabe morinzi and cam stewart will get you ready for game time everything you need to know before a game goes off

rms of stolen bases this is always the hardest category to fill and this year is no different record jonathan vr if you can just like close your eyes and not throw up and just take the steals and deal with jonathan vr because everything else i mean it can be great it can be this this guy is the wildest one of the wildest players in baseball the r is uh i mean vr is not killing you and batting averages as bad as he has some seasons the sports grid network game time decisions boston and miami you'
re down with the zigzag theory now that miami bounces back tomorrow oh it's good the celtics going to win a game and yet you're going to see the miami heat in that front office and that head coaching staff put a game plan together where they win it's a crazy series i don't have a great feel for it but boy that line is really really short and a lot of respect for the boston celtics you got to think the way boston is beating these guys down people are going to go to the window and bet boston but i
t just seems to be a different team like miami only on sports grid pharrell coast to coast everett they lost to tampa in the first round last year and all throughout the off-season down here in south florida scotty all we heard about ourselves we're going to regroup we're going to get it going we we've got to be better we can do this we have the talent um they went out they got a couple of nice pieces and voila here we are an opportunity to hop in uh the big bad tampa bay lightning and what they
do they threw up all over themselves the sports grid network [Music] [Music] hello everyone and welcome back into fantasy sports today here on sports grid tv i am davis matic joined by dubs anderson as we are every wednesday talking a little golf little soccer all the stuff happening there over across the pond and uh we got you know a great pga championship this last week justin thomas winning in the playoff against will zalatorius very dramatic moment there on on 18 as the uh i mean huge favor
ite you know heading into the the the 18th old mito pereira blocks one out ends up making double bogey misses the playoff but honestly the the story for me from the pga championship and this is a very because like rory mcilroy's definitely my favorite golfer maybe my favorite athlete i i'm just looking at this like a huge miss for him you know if he just if he just plays even par golf friday saturday sunday doesn't have to even play well just even par golf he he gets into the playoffs so that wa
s the most frustrating part for me yeah and i feel you davis i mean roy mcelroy he set himself up i had question marks how he would handle the pressure of playing in that marquee group he came out strong on thursday but again this is what we've seen too much from roy mcelroy those middle rounds you know friday and saturday just letting it go on you know justin thomas he's been in the same boat but here he is now the second major championship so i'm sure roy macro is going to be looking at that s
aying hey not good enough from me i've got to get back in the winner's circle on the regular events that's okay rory but we want to see it at the majors he's gonna have another good chance here in four weeks at the u.s open but davis i thought it was a very tough golf course the guys got absolutely beat up i was heartbroken for mido pereira there on the 18th hole i mean where's the caddy that was the inexperience coming to a head he looked so calm for four days straight and then we saw it on sun
day and again will zella torres a guy who keeps knocking on that door five top tens at the majors he had every opportunity to get it done couldn't deliver the punting still scares me justin thomas far too good he just had to post a number anything can happen that's what we see at major championship golf and for me matt fitzpatrick that's a guy i'm not betting on anymore davis i'm done with the young englishman another guy had every chance there to do something special failed to deliver but hey t
he beauty of golf we keep on trucking baby we're back at it this week for the charles schwab challenge a pretty strong field coming to you from fort worth texas it's a storage stop of the pga tour i'm looking at it it's an old-school golf course you've got to play the old school style of golf fairways greens smaller greens get a hot putter get it done not as tough as last week but again it's going to be a very tough golf course yeah i i kind of went the other way on fitzpatrick where like i i've
been burnt by him a ton but he's added some distance off the tee like if if he can hit it 295 consistently i do i do kind of think it's going to happen for him so many of these uh english guys not to give the english guys a hard time but that's what us aussies do but not good enough from tyrell hadn't not good enough from tommy fleetwood not good enough from maddie fitzpatrick i mean terrell has got the one win fleetwood and fitzpatrick for all the talent in the world yet to convert here in ame
rica so manny fitzpatrick i can see what you're saying i mean he shows up at the mages he brings his best stuff but again i mean the short game he's now chipping reverse hand left hand low that scares me that tells me there's something going on up top there but yeah uh top 10 warrior maddie fitzpatrick yeah all right uh getting into the charles schwab this week couple guys i feel pretty good about uh colin maurico we're going to begin with this is kind of an ownership play you know yeah i think
jordan spieth is just going to be uh extremely extremely popular morikawa i mean he just he is he's the best wedge player or not the wedges are the problem he's the best long iron player on tour tom hoagy i mean this is just a guy who's been kind of a low level tour grinder you know 80 80 if in the world or so but he's having uh you know basically the best season of his career you know consistently hitting some of these leaderboards at the majors really like this course for sungjm because he's s
o good fairways and greens not not the best putter on earth and then another another guy really like kevin gnaw again just gonna he's gonna hit all these fairways he is not going to create trouble for himself i i like all four mate uh it's good to have sanjay in back we missed him last week the pga championship he was stuck there in south korea kevin na is the prototype fairways greens he's not a long bomber but this is a week where the shorter guys can get into the mix he's had a great run here
he's had a win here good course history and this is of course on big on course history and column morocco he plays it similar to kevin now i mean as flashy as he is he doesn't give it an almighty rip but as you touched on he's one of the best iron players in the business you need that this week especially with smaller targets the golf course is known for the horrible horseshoe very tough stretch there three through five on the opening niner for colin morakawa i think he is going to be angry thi
s is a week we talk about the major hangover some of the big names are going to be a little flat not morikawa he does not care about making it through to the weekend he wants to chalk up wins it's been since the open championship not good enough for his standards you put him in you know a strong field on a tough golf course he has to be there sunday and i think that's a pretty good number for morocco with their 10k 18 to 1 the outright market i do like that i'm gonna throw another big name from
up top victor hovland now he plays it a similar way to morocco he's probably got a bit more pop off the t for both of them it's the short game that's their biggest weakness but this week unlike last week you're not going to get many tight lies you've got a bit more spongy you know cushion rough there around the green so i think it helps the both of them with their scrambling if you want a bit more value a guy like abraham answer um he's been a little sluggish since wearing uh since winning the s
aint jude last season it's a bit of a local game for him he resides down there in san antonio played here four times before two top fifteens a top ten finished at the pga championship last week uh he's very accurate off the tee i'm big on coming from the fairway this week so i agree with your lineup and there are a couple extra guys to throw throw a couple of eyes on this well yeah couple guys i am uh off of this week i mean spieth just anytime spieth is going to be very popular which i suspect
he will be this week he's he has been very good at this golf course but you know to take spieth over justin thomas over colin moore i mean i just don't he he's a very good player but he is not as good as those guys daniel berger uh i i happened to uh take daniel berger in some head to heads last week and just watching him play i mean something's go i don't know if he's hurt i don't know if it's mental game stuff something is going on with him i think it's a combination of both he was been you kn
ow battling injury there for a minute and then we saw him at the honda classic there's no way he loses that golf tournament and he's a bit of a close-up he went up in flames on the sunday so i think he's got a bit of scar tissue from that he's got a good course history uh great track record at colonial country club so i think he'll be very popular but again that's where we strike that's where we charge up these dfs leaderboards so i think you're right stay away from daniel burger this week i hav
en't seen enough from him a guy who's building in the right direction here and i like his game on this golf course i'm all about short game and scrambling patrick reed you can get him there at 7 400. i think that's a great price for a goal like patrick reed i think he's found something again not a super long golf course he can fare well here and a couple other guys i throw in the mix here charlie hoffman the seagull he's not great on a long ballpark but he keeps it in play watch out for charlie
hoffman you can get him at the 6k range there and another guy who i'm very big on the south african christian bizaden out he actually missed the cut last week at the pga championship but hey it's a good chance to freshen up you put him on a golf course that really matches up weldy's golf game and getting there at 7 600 i think it's a pretty good price all right there we go and uh you know i think of course we need to talk about uh what is basically one of the biggest sporting events in the world
uh you know maybe not maybe not as much here for us in the states but the champions league final 2 p.m central time 3 p.m eastern time this weekend liverpool real madrid the champions league i mean this is uh you want to talk about the richest sporting event in the world these are these are billion dollar organizations the wages of these guys will will make your eyes water um champions league it's it's always it's always something uh you know if funnily enough my my favorite champions league me
mory ever it's gotta be in in my lifetime of watching soccer it's gotta be gareth bale with the uh the overhead kick and i mean you know there's been lots of great moments leading up the the short the short corner is probably my favorite soccer moment ever but uh i mean this this is going to be a great game this weekend garrus bail where are your son i mean four years ago he was the man but real madrid i mean they probably lack the star power of liverpool i mean you look they're well covered acr
oss the world but they just find a way to get it done they're coming off and when they're at la liga i asked a buddy yesterday who's been playing in the spanish league i'm like who do you lean towards here liverpool taking on real madrid he's like well real madrid i mean they own that trophy they've won it 13 times liverpool have got a pretty good record as well six wins but what stands out for me that liverpool have just been playing so much football across all competitions this and their last
four matches in the premier league they've kept the first goal that tells me they're a tired team making the trip over to france for me davis i'm gonna go with the value play real madrid plus 240 somehow carla and chalotti and benzema they find a way to get up for it they find a way to get it done but as you touched on this is one of the biggest sporting events on the calendar the premier league wrapped up last week liverpool couldn't get that one done man city sneaking past them but again if th
ey can get three trophies for this year hey that's not bad the old silverware piling up in the cabinet yeah and you know i mean i definitely think madrid is at a little bit of of a rest advantage right you know they have not played as many games the uh you know the the league cup for the spanish league happens way earlier in the calendar i think their final is generally played in like january february whereas madrid or uh liverpool just played you know that that big dramatic 120 minute game agai
nst i mean it feels like it was forever ago it was like 10 days ago that they that they played that game so the the the mma they have to play southampton on tuesday i mean it just the amount of football these guys have played and and we saw it you know i mean salah got injured in that fa cup final fabinho got injured in the fa cup final like these guys have been absolutely grinding we also have the uh the europa conference league finals today i mean that's that's definitely a little bit more nic
he i will be i'll be tuned in i'll be watching that roma versus fine or kind of a and jose mourinho is involved tammy abraham who by the way uh i i believe was called up to the england national team which uh we're we're gonna see here with the nations league and uh you know it's not gonna be that long dubs we're gonna be back here in about four months and we are going to be talking about the 2022 i guess 2022 2023 world cup taking place in qatar very much looking forward to that of course thank

ou consider like the everybody is out for the warriors in game live all access he's gonna come out flying he's gonna crash get the winning edge only on sports grid the morning after toronto a little bit slow to start here out of the uh early gates here in this major league baseball season i wonder where you would have heard about that i wonder look i'm just saying i don't listen i understand they are an exciting team i have never in my life heard a team previewed by everybody only through the op
timistic level the sports grid network pharrell coast to coast major league baseball is afraid of the players union uh it doesn't matter what you do anymore it gets cut in half so when the guy appealed the one game suspend when you're uh suspended one game for a racist comment don't you just need like it's one thing when they stuck him on the covered list to get rid of him for a day because he's such bad news he's lymphoma the sports grid network game time decisions what's your take on the baseb
all card today what are you looking at what do you like pretty good baseball card right off the bat here i actually like the pittsburgh pirates a slight favor you never see the pittsburgh pirates favor by all that much they're minus 120 tonight but actually like the pittsburgh pirates team total tonight to go over three and a half runs i believe fanduel is sporting it here at a four currently right now we have five batters in that lineup that are plus advantage against a left-handed pitcher and
car feeling he's been okay this year not great but i think pittsburgh wins this game only on sports grid the early line show hayes plus 210 aaron judges plus 360. mike trout is plus 450. we sit here may 24th my question should aaron judge be the favorite for almdp i can't have aaron judd sitting at a plus 360 in the ballpark he plays it i mean i just can't do that here there's got to be some sort of downgrade here where you play in a smaller ballpark than everybody else only on sports grid [Musi
c] [Music] welcome back to fantasy sport today on sports grid hey log on to twitter right now if you're not on while you're watching us and follow us there at sportsgrid and at sportsgrid tv for the latest news notes information pics against the spread from a lot of our hosts not to mention if you have a question for us here on the show ask us fantasy or reality and tag at sportsgrid or at sportsgrid tv and if we like your question we will use it on the show so make sure you do that if you would
n't mind now davis tonight i know your dallas cowboys didn't go far i know that your kansas city chiefs did not win the super bowl but your colorado avalanche are on the verge of advancing tonight they're up 3-1 in the series against the st louis blues the line is minus 280. so i can't really ask you about laying a 280 because i'm not going to allow you to do that but what do you think happens tonight what do you what is the outcome here i mean colorado is just much better uh i i've watched ever
y game of this series and and pretty much what happens is the blues spend uh you know it what it feels like is the blues are are like a kid that kind of knows how to swim but gets tossed into the deep end and they spend three periods trying to not drown that that that is the the closest experience that i can give and that's that's kind of like the the style that they play they're not like a super attacking aggressive want to shoot you know 70 times over 60 minutes type team but and and colorado
by the way there this they have this like very fortuitous thing where they have one of the three or four best offensive players in the league and they got to sign him to a very cap friendly contract because he dealt with a lot of injuries when he was younger nathan mckinnon so they they have mckinnon renton landiscog and they have nazim kadri who is also like who they traded and got the hat trick and that that's a whole thing that's going on in st louis right now so they they it's kind of it's k
ind of like steph curry and the warriors actually right where he was on that really team-friendly deal because of his ankle injury so this is a good window for them all right so there you go we know where davis tv will be on tonight as far as uh me i'll be at a little league game playing in a championship and then the other on the marlins game with a phone somewhere all right time for fantasy reality [Music] all right dave it's always fun when athletes like to talk about fantasy sports i can alw
ays appreciate that i did see the tweet the other day about leonard fournette i guess he's all ready for best ball season like you davis so naturally leonard fournette uh when he's on the field and he was on the field a lot last year up until the very end and then the let's not let's not talk about ronald jones anymore davis please that was did not go well for either of us there but leonard fournette was really good let's be honest he was really good when he played uh fantasy reality leonard fou
rnette running back tampa bay bucks top 24 player in fantasy football this season so that's first or second round pretty impressive uh he is he is pretty close right now he is being drafted just outside of that range you know just outside of the the top 24. i am inclined to think he is a pretty good value where he is going uh so i'm gonna say reality here and really it is uh it's kind of concurrent on on two things you know the first obviously being tom brady is able to you know keep up with his
just amazing tom bradiness at 47 years old that the offense continues to run like a finely tuned machine and and the big thing about playing with brady is that he throws to his running backs a lot not just on third downs but on early downs right and that's kind of been the secret to leonard fournette's success uh i i do think that the guy that the buccaneers drafted rashad white i i think he is pretty pretty good however we did just see the same buccaneers regime draft keyshawn bond in the thir
d round two years ago and basically never play him you know giovanni bernard lesean mccoy they played all these old guys over him so i i'm inclined to say yes i'm going to say reality he is a top 24 player yeah i i agree i got reality here and uh and look i was not one that was very big on fournette davis i thought that his career was nearing a quick end oh same in the very early part of his career i'm i'm completely wrong on this one i remember joe pizzapie and i used to fight about this when h
e got let go by jacksonville i thought it was over i thought it was done um yeah helping having brady there definitely helps but unfortunately going back to ronald jones sort of told me this other guy is much better he's pretty good i got reality i think it's in the top uh 24. all right jason tatum um i mean i guess you could you could call him one of the very best players the nba i think that's fair but he did get into the all-nba team over joel embiid and i think part of this davis is because
of the fact that they have very specific restrictions as far as how it is named guard guard forward forward center so embiid and jokic are centers but they can't be on the first team i guess it's a little confusing fantasy or reality position restrictions on all nba teams is a good thing uh so it's actually even more confusing than that embiid and jokic actually were both eligible as forward players but i believe the way the votes are cast is that an embiid vote at forward does not count as an e
mbiid vote at center so my my suspicion is that if you tallied up all the votes in a different way embiid would have gotten more first-team all-nba votes than jason tim so i actually think that the the the problem here is a problem of communication and a problem of messaging i think that the and this is actually something uh they mentioned this on the zachlow nba podcast where it's like yeah like all the voters together needed to coordinate all right who's the forward are we voting jokic as the
forward are we voting embiid at the forward because they basically they split the vote and the splitting of because you know tatum is only getting voted as a forward no one's voting tatum as a guard no one's voting tatum as a center so basically what happened is they is they split the vote i'm i think the positional restrictions are kind of stupid because we've moved so far away from that in basketball right i mean there are there are like the toronto raptors play a lineup with five forwards rig
ht they they have scottie barnes at point guard and pascal ciaco at center and those guys are the same size they're both six eight so i i think that this is kind of antiquated so i'm gonna say fantasy i don't think the positional restrictions are good yeah i i totally agree it makes no sense anymore but i would say that davis it had its purpose in the past and i remember following this in the 90s and the 2000s no question but but as you mentioned so many players are now playing out of position i
mean who's even a center like lebron is a center he's a point guard like nobody has any clue anymore um and so it's changed it's changed you know i guess the question is has it changed for like dfs purposes and season-long purposes and and positioning there i think is probably more of you know to me more of the interesting conversation but i am uh in agreement with you get this thing changed fantasy done don't don't need to have this anymore best five players get in you know best five players t
hat's it doesn't need to be a team all first team all second team best five in the first best five on the second maybe they could do third do they do third anymore i think they used to i don't know if they would yeah okay there you go all right um okay so a new game is coming out and it's coming out for uh nintendo and uh the latest trailer came out and it is called mario strikers and uh in mario striker's battle league if i'm not mistaken now i am not the uh nintendo expert to say the least so
i want to be clear on this davis uh but i'm guessing that you uh know a little bit more about me than this but the trailer is out i saw it over on ign and nintendo switch still pretty popular as far as i understand now in this family we just happen to be an xbox family and my son plays mlb the show it's pretty much it fantasy reality dave as someone you know will buy in nintendo switch to play this game mario strikers uh i i so i have a friend who already has a nintendo switch he is a nintendo s
witch guy he doesn't have the playstation 5 doesn't have the uh what the xbox one is the is the newest and most updated one um so i that's funny you say that you're an xbox family we're we're a playstation family i've never had an xbox i had the playstation one playstation two the three the four and uh bought the five funny enough was able to get the five when like no one could get them and then i i didn't really play it for a long time i just recently booted it back up and then playing fifa aga
in but uh i i will say that this is a fantasy because the only person i know who would want to play this they already have the nintendo switch but the i have noticed that um people who are nintendo people they like really love nintendo games like they really love the proprietary stuff you know the zelda the mario because those those have never been cross-platform so so definitely reality that people will do this in general yeah i agree and i and i think by the way there are very few brands in ge
neral that get people excited about buying something i i do think davis the mario brand is is very strong i think anything related with mario gets people to buy uh part of it i i think that you've talked about this part of it is like nostalgia people like to just remember the old games super mario brothers games yes i do think that's a part of it um but look when nintendo you know they've got that brand they're going to pound that thing and get people to buy as much as possible so uh yeah i'm i
totally agree with you i think that this will be the case however i would say davis i have never played nintendo switch before i i've seen it i know my son's friends have it but and i honestly i don't know maybe this is silly for me i don't know why we have an xbox that's all we have like we i i don't know anything else i when i was a kid i used to play playstation so very well aware but given the fact that xbox has mlb the show i just don't understand why i would want to get something else like
maybe i need to get sold on that well uh i mean i have and again i've always been a playstation guy i got the playstation one that was before the xbox was even available uh there also have been some games that are playstation only that uh that i really that i wanted to play so uh the uh the the tom hollands mark wahlberg movie uncharted based off of uh these really really probably my favorite video game ever the the uncharted video game series and those were playstation exclusive so i i think i
just got the first playstation because that was just what it was like that they you wanted the new gaming system you just got that and then i also so i never had i never had a nintendo 64. never had a super nintendo never had any of those so i i never had any nostalgia i did though play the game boy right pokemon on the game boy i feel like that was a big 90s kid thing like i feel like everyone played pokemon on on the gameboy did you ever do game boys probably skipped you or did you play oh no
no definitely had game boy the old one the i mean whatever the original one davis is i don't know g one yes and then when it was color had that too at the beginning but definitely a game boy if i'm not mistaken came out did it come with tetris feels like it did feels like that was the game that it came with and yeah i used to i think i had tecmo bowl on that too i think i used to play football on on that game the original tecmo bowl so yeah i was definitely all in on that but what happened to m
y original game boy where it is i think my guesses are probably worth a lot of money and i shouldn't have gotten rid of it i don't know what happened to it but i remember having those little cartridges playing all those games all the time no doubt about that and then and then getting into playstation with the cds that you would put in yeah i mean i had all that stuff and then i don't know i guess i just you know kind of got over it not really sure but now my son plays mlb the show and kills me o
n the xbox on uh on that game too all right we gotta take a quick time out here on the show coming up next sports grid 60 and then we gotta get out of here i'll be back with you guys two o'clock eastern for another edition of newswire so make sure you stay on the grid for that and also don't forget as we get closer to the end of the nba finals we got plenty of major league baseball to go over with you every single day we're going to talk more dfs more season long baseball we roll along all throu
ghout the major league baseball season so stay on the grid with us davis and i will be right back as we wrap up this wednesday edition of fantasy sports today in just a couple of minutes hopefully you'll stay with us great [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] sports grid your 24 7 sports wagering network [Music] we'll see how it plays out before football full circle all their diamonds how dare they do what's fiscally responsible no steph curry was out there begging for his life someone comes pleas

seems like night in night out some of these games that we're really anticipating and can't wait to sit down and watch are basically over once we start to sit down and watch this isn't a 4-0 sweep here between the boston celtics where they won four games or the mighty heat where they won their four games this is two to two and maybe in the next game the mighty heat will return the favor and blow out the boston celtics only on sports grid the pat mcafee show they understand you know the whole pro
cess of putting on weight and you know getting better and better each and every year and so you know your your freshman year all the way to your senior year you should be playing good football and you're going to have a shout out to nfl so um you know i guess going to iowa was definitely a cheat code and you know that's why they produced so many nfl players because coach fann gets you ready that's a recruiting print t-shirts baby let's go the sports grid network fantasy sports today we of course
have cole calhoun who davis once upon a time was no stranger to pretty consistently 20 25 home runs uh christian walker of the arizona diamondbacks what's really intriguing with both of these players is they're really best suited to me to platoon i know walker is playing probably a little bit more he just mashes left-handed pitching like no other arizona is just employing a ton of platooning this season and the sports grid network [Music] [Music] welcome back to fantasy sports today brand new e
dition of newswire coming your way two o'clock eastern this afternoon now hopefully you guys can join us for that but before we go always curious what's on the mind of davismatic as it spins [Music] so the san francisco 49ers are doing their organized team activities right now of course debo samuel is not there trey lance talked to the media yesterday honestly one of the first times i can remember trey lance addressing the media because i mean what what reason would there have been for him to ta
lk last year because jimmy garoppolo was the the starting quarterback but i was just kind of thinking like gotta be weird to be a san francisco 49er player or coaching staff right now because probably there's a lot going on that you don't know about like how healthy is jimmy garoppolo do they have a trade in place for jimmy garoppolo do they not want to trade jimmy garoppolo are they going to start jimmy g is deebo going to be traded does debo care will debo actually hold out you know and not pl
ay because i believe the rule is as long as you play in in six games you accrue the year of service time so does d and people are going to remember remember when vincent jackson held out for the then san diego chargers and came back after 10 games to accrue his year of service time just weird weird team right now yeah i want to end i want to end today with what's going to happen tonight in the eastern conference finals between the miami heat and boston celtics let me tell you something davis the
miami heat fans are on edge they may not admit it they may not share it on social media but this is probably the game that's going to determine the series and i would tell you that as a fan base miami's fan base respectfully passionate but very fragile and if the boss and celtic were to win tonight i'm really not sure how the fans could take their panthers going down and the miami heat going down just before the nba finals so i am hoping for the best take the heat plus a point tonight in the nb
a that'll do it for the show today thanks to dubs for coming on the program also want to thank our graphics department danny ryan and of course our producer brent levy i'm my co-host davis maddock i'm craig mish i'll see you at 2 o'clock eastern for newswire until then have a good lunch [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
