We didn't need a long one.
We're, we're cruising baby.
Let's get into the streaming part of this uh, uh, double dip.
Streaming part of the double dip here on old man squad fantasy basketball presented by
FanDuel. I'm still Dan Bespriss.
I'm still at Dan Bespriss on Twitter.
I am still humbly requesting that all of you listening hit the subscribe button.
However, you're taking it in the show.
Can't believe how fast we're building all these organic listeners.
It's the best.
It's amazing.
We're growing daily.
And you can see it in how the downloads change daily and annually.
You guys are amazing.
I love you all.
We are going to share the streaming calendar.
I promise I'm just slow.
I'm not a great producer.
I'm okay at talking to myself.
There we go.
This is what we're looking at.
I would, I would hope that all of you guys that are listening to this, uh,
this episode or this half of this episode, depending on how you're taking in the content,
have already listened to our, uh, the show I dropped on Sunday in the early evening,
which was a whole weekly preview streaming guide for the playoffs.
And the, and actually the viewership on that show has been awesome.
It's one of the most watched episodes on YouTube in quite some time.
And it's like, it's blasting into the stratosphere.
That one seems to have hit some sort of algorithm and it's cooking.
Uh, so that hopefully means that you guys can kind of just segue into the second half of this
program where we're going to talk a little bit more about specifically Monday and Tuesday,
which we did a lot of Monday and we did a little bit of Tuesday on yesterday's show.
We're going to kind of rehash that now.
And yes, it'll be a little bit of a repeat.
So what are we doing today?
The difference between yesterday's streaming show and today's streaming show is that yesterday,
I was like, look, if you can do some stuff on Sunday, here's what you should be doing.
Now it's Monday. It is Monday.
You can no longer do things on Sunday because it's not Sunday anymore.
I suggest, and I said this yesterday, and I'll repeat myself.
There's going to be a lot of repetition here.
So if you watched the Sunday, you know, weekly preview show,
you're going to hear a lot of the same stuff a second time.
Feel free to put this on like 1.5 or 2x, frankly.
There are five games tonight in the association.
There's 11 tomorrow.
So what I'd ask you to do is before you do any move this week,
see what your Tuesday lineup looks like right now.
Flip over to your Tuesday.
See if it's full already.
That's actually it's a massive deal.
See if your Tuesday is full.
If your Tuesday is full, then you have to rethink how you're streaming the beginning of the week.
And honestly, for a lot of you guys, I think your Tuesday is going to be pretty close to full.
And you know, mathematically, it makes sense.
There are 11 games on Tuesday.
11 out of 15 is 73.3%, which when you multiply that by 13 roster slots,
is 9.5.
So more of you than not are going to have just less than full about 9.5 roughly active players,
but it's a bell curve.
So if 9.5 is here, the point here at 9.5, that's the top of it.
If you just go the littlest bit this way, you get to 10.
And that's still a very large number on that tail.
I know it's hard for you guys to see what I'm doing.
This little tiny picture of myself in the corner, but the tail of that bell curve going out
to the side on the bigger side is almost half of all teams are going to have 10 players are more going
on Tuesday.
And if you happen to be in a league where there are more than 13 roster slots,
well, then it's even more likely.
Then you take that 73.3, whatever percent multiplied by the number of roster slots you have.
But it's 14.
The top of the bell curve is at 10.3 basically.
So more than half of teams will have it.
So go look at your Tuesday.
It also, of course, who's us to remember that
someone's going to get ruled out in the last minute.
We're not like all the way to the silly season yet.
We're in there for the tanking teams.
The better teams haven't started sillying it up yet.
When that happens, that's when things get really weird.
Right now, the better teams are still mostly playing their guys.
So the silly season has been is impacting like the bottom four, five teams right now.
It gets worse.
I mean, you can still mostly predict what's going to happen this week, mostly.
But someone's going to get ruled out.
It's going to be a game time call that goes the wrong way on Tuesday.
So it almost feels like you could use 11 guys instead of 10.
All right.
So now you've looked at your Tuesday schedule.
You figured out if you have room to stream pivot back to Monday.
What we talked about yesterday is
you're looking for teams right now that have a good schedule to start the week.
And you're trying to get rid of teams that have a bad schedule to start the week.
There are two teams that have a bad schedule to start the week.
New Orleans Pelicans who have a bad schedule the whole week.
They play on Wednesday and Friday only.
And the Portland Trailblazers who play on Tuesday and Friday.
They also play on Sunday.
But just two games over six days to start the week.
One game over four days to start the week.
There's a lot of different ways you could look at that.
For the blazers and the Pelicans.
What I like to do on these shows is to pivot over to the basketball monster page.
And I'll just point out we'll pull up like how teams are doing the last two to three weeks.
Share that tab.
And you can look and see who the guys you should actually be holding on to are.
And for the Pelicans, it's really easy.
It's the top four.
Trey Murphy, Cediquet Bay, Zion Williamson, Dishontain Murray.
Those are the guys you're going to want to hold on to through a two game week.
Because they've been top 70 or better.
Meeting you're going to want them again for your finals week if you can get there.
I also get it.
If you get to
Saturday, your two Pelicans games are done.
They're not playing anymore the rest of the week.
And you're getting your butt kicked.
You then might have to drop one of those guys.
But until then, you want to hold on.
Portland is a little bit more complicated if only because their
fringe players are more fringy.
Donovan Klingons, a guy you're going to want to hold on to
for the upcoming better schedule.
Drew Holidays, a guy you're going to want to hold on to.
Denny Avdia just finally came back.
So he's the third guy.
Jeremy Grant is very team specific.
He scores well, hits three.
Sometimes gets a steal.
Usually a really good free throw guy.
It's actually kind of reversed itself over the last three weeks.
But if you're relying on scoring and free throws,
then Jeremy Grant's a guy you're going to hold on to.
If you're not, then you don't have to.
Robert Williams, no.
Tomani Kamara hasn't, sorry, unfortunately.
And I'm sad about it.
Hasn't been good enough this year to hold on to through a bad
scheduling stretch.
Nor has scooped.
Those guys should all be dropped for this two games over six days.
Span to pick up someone who has four games over those six days.
You can get a lot more.

Gambling problem called 1-800 gambler.
Think about what Camara is going to do in two games.
25 points, 12 rebounds, 4-3s, 3 steals.
That's a good day on bad percentages.
Can you get that from someone out of four games?
That means they'd have to average basically six plus points
about one three pointer, three rebounds,
and assist 0.75 steals.
You can find that on the wire.
I promise.
You can find better than that over a four game span.
So you just you just think about totals at that point.
The other situation to think about on Monday is
and this is more a plan ahead sort of deal who plays on Monday
that then works into a bad schedule.
That's what tomorrow is for and we'll get to that in just a second.
The teams you should be looking at today.
We talked about this again on yesterday's streaming show.
Our Philadelphia and Memphis.
And then a secondary nod to the Brooklyn bets.
The gold say warriors do have a back-to-back today.
Tomorrow, but the warriors are very unpredictable
in who they play and who gets rest days.
So that's not a team that I would advise you guys go
spelunking in.
Memphis is a really hard one.
They have four games in five days,
but as we just mentioned on the R recap show,
half the team doesn't play every day.
And you can see it here on the board.
Look at all the guys that are doubtful for Memphis
for the front end of their back-to-back.
Ty Jerome was sitting out every other day.
Taylor Hendrix is sitting out back-to-backs.
Cedric Cower is sitting out back-to-back.
Scott, he pipped his sitting out back-to-backs.
Look for anybody on Memphis
that this is the last three weeks we're looking at.
Look for anybody that's actually played all nine of their games over the last three weeks.
There are four players that have.
Jaylen Wells, Olivia Maxson's prosper,
Gigi Jackson and Cam Spencer.
And the other guy that has played in every game he's been healthy for
is Walter Clayton.
Javon Small has played in most of them,
but I think he might be running out of eligibility.
So be very careful with Javon Small.
Five names on Memphis that you can consider for this four game in five-day span are Jaylen Wells
for scoring in threes mostly.
Olivia Maxson's prosper for like a little bit of scoring,
and a little bit of rebounding, a little bit of steelsing.
Gigi Jackson for points boards and actually blocks lately, although I don't know if that sticks.
Cam Spencer for threes and assists.
And Walter Clayton for assists and steels.
It's messy, but almost any one of those guys playing four times in five days is going to be worth having on your fantasy roster,
because you can bump them on Saturday and turn that roster slot into a six game roster spot with two moves.
That's pretty good if you were coming off a team that had two or three games in that particular slot.
The other team that's kind of an easier one, you don't have to think about it all that much is Philadelphia.
They play five times this week.
VJ Edgecom is questionable for tonight.
And then at Maxi and Mbid are already, I believe, listed as out.
So that gives you a few options here.
Kelly Ubre, Quinten Grimes, and Dembona are the three guys that I think are pretty obvious plays in a five-game week.
The Maybees would be someone like a campaign if Edgecom has to miss any time on top of Maxi, dangerous play.
Tried to want for Dominic Barlow and Jabari Walker have been putting up kind of like fringe big man type of numbers,
but their minutes aren't consistent.
So I don't know that I would go down that path unless I really had to.
And then Andre Drummond, who got pivoted to the backup center job,
he'll probably still get you enough rebounds over a five game week for it to be sort of worth it, sort of worth it.
It was like he got seven rebounds in 19 minutes in their game on Saturday.
35 rebound week would be useful, but very little else.
If you're going to get a big man, you go Bona because he'll get your rebounds and steals and blocks and maybe a little bit of scoring.
And now like five game week, you can do a lot with that.
But just again, looking at the minutes they played here, I'll go back to the box score tab.
The minutes they played on Saturday, can't play played 15.
Tried to want for 19 Jabari Walker, 17.
Dominic Barlow, 26.
But he didn't do much with it.
Bona 29.
That to me is where it gets a little bit simpler.
And then the other team that has a good schedule to start the week is Brooklyn.
They go three times over four days and four over six.
The difference between Brooklyn and Philly is they don't play on Sunday.
So you'd make a move off of the nets.
Then, then that's you have some streamable guys.
Day round sharp is streamable.
Danny Wolf is streamable.
Zaire Williams, if he plays in the back to back, would be streamable.
That's the part we don't really know.
Know a clowny is streamable in the back to back.
None of these guys is good.
All these guys are bad.
Day round sharp, if he got a start in there, would be interesting.
And Nolan Treyore would probably be interesting in the back to back as well.
But these guys kind of suck.
So they are like a distant third option behind Philly and Memphis to get your week started.
Again, I don't think I'd go warriors because you just don't know who's going to play.
I don't think I have a four game week, so that's helpful.
But like, I don't know who's going to go both Monday and Tuesday.
If I'm going to make a move, I want to know who the hell I'm picking up.
Let's go back to the calendar and look at Tuesday.
And I say this to you guys again, I want to hammer this point home.
Monday and Tuesday are actually big streaming days this week.
Thursday and the weekend are the other ones.
Tuesday is an interesting day to stream because you've got a couple of teams.
That or one team, I think, that plays on Monday that then goes into a worse schedule.
That's Oklahoma City.
So after Monday, you should be dropping your Oklahoma City stream level guys,
which is basically everybody besides Shay and Chad.
That's easy, right?
You can remember that.
Shay and Chad, you're holding through the rest of the week.
Nobody else you need to.
Kaisen Wallace, Isaiah Joe, Jalen Williams,
Jared McKay, Ludoord, Alex Russo, Aaron Wiggins, drop them all after Monday.
Super easy.
I what we did on yesterday show that I'm not going to do it again today.
So I'm going to tell you like right now, if you're listening to this streaming show,
just go back and listen to like the last 10 minutes of yesterday's streaming episode.
It was the weekly preview one.
There are seven teams that go four times between Tuesday and Sunday that you can pivot to
from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
And again, bear in mind, you might not need to if your Tuesday is full.
If your Tuesday is full, I would recommend holding the rest of your moves until Thursday.
Because that's when you can again, there's a few more teams that sort of roll into a poor schedule.
Charlotte is one of those on Thursday.
Houston is one of those ones on that rolls into a bad schedule on Thursday.
But the overall message for this week.
Oh, here, let me give you the seven teams that are good to stream tomorrow.
So this is for you guys that are day ahead of stuff going on.
Dallas is a good team to start on Tuesday.
And even better team, by the way, to start on Thursday.
Because Dallas has a four and five that starts on Thursday,
meaning they have five games over seven days starting Tuesday.
But the bulk of it begins on Thursday.
Here, let's highlight these six days.
So you guys can see it as I scroll down slowly.
Dallas Detroit.
Detroit has some interesting streamers like Doug and Robinson and Isaiah Stewart.
Indiana, if you can figure out who the hell's playing every day for them, they've got some streamers.
Milwaukee kind of crappy.
What's Minnesota?
IO is really the main streamer there.
I'm not going to say Philly again.
Sacramento has a weird schedule.
It's a back-to-back than two off days in a row.
Then another back-to-back.
They have some streamers.
Toronto doesn't have many.
Jacobi Walters, Sandro, Mama, Kelley, those guys are sort of stream level.
So there's seven teams.
Philly's the other one.
But you're to do your Philly stuff today.
That you could pick up on a Tuesday.
But again, the thing I really want to stress more so than like here's what you do on Monday.
Here's what you do on Tuesday.
This week doesn't have that many bad schedule pockets.
Last week, remember when you looked at my streaming grid?
And you can do it now if you want.
Again, it's in the show description.
It's always in the show description.
Last week, you look at the streaming grid and it was color code.
Like every team had some color on the left side.
This time, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Only eight of the 30 teams are color coded at all.
The other 22 have just like regular schedules.

There are a couple teams that don't play over the weekend.
New Orleans is one of them.
They have a bad schedule.
Phoenix doesn't play Saturday Sunday, but they have a five game week next week.
Memphis doesn't play Saturday Sunday, but they have a four game week next week.
Houston doesn't play Saturday Sunday, but they have a four game week next week.
But Houston, we already talked about his team that has kind of a clunky schedule starting on Thursday.
So like Chicago, it would be another one.
So we'll get to that.
That's Saturday.
That's looking way down the line.
If you wanted to put another couple of color codes on there,
you could talk about teams that don't play Saturday or Sunday.
That would be like the last grouping here.
And and honestly, I can I can do it live on today's show.
Chicago doesn't play over the weekend.
Houston, but they're already color coded and brown.
Memphis, I can't change them because they have this front end of the week loaded.
New Orleans, they're already a terrible schedule.
Phoenix doesn't play over the weekend.
So we'll make those guys like a like a yellowish.
Oh, these teams don't play over the weekend.
So that when you use your last couple of moves.
So feel free to use a few moves today.
If you want to load up the beginning of the week.
If you don't need to do any moves tomorrow, great.
You could save the rest for Thursday or Saturday.
And that's your streaming help for Monday and Tuesday.
This is again, so it's a lower stream week.
You kind of have to get a little bit lucky with a heavier schedule.
Because there aren't a lot of spots to make up a ton of ground.
Other than honestly, today and Thursday are the days to make up ground.
So I know you want to save some moves for guys getting injured.
But also, if you want to catch up games or get a game's lead,
you kind of have to do something today.
