00:00I like your lineup and I like the strategy.
00:05One thing that I like most about it is that I think there's a certain reliability to it
00:10in that you know that the guys that you mentioned that you rostered there are going to be out
00:14there on the floor for at minimum, let's say 14-15 minutes in the case of Jalen Williams.
00:20We don't really know what Isaiah Joe's workload going is going to be, but you got to figure
00:25at baseline, it looks like that.
00:28It's maybe even up to 20-25, all things depended.
00:32So I went a little bit different.
00:33I'm chasing the potential triple-double and big-time points and paying up for Luka in
00:39the captain spot.
00:40As you outlined, I think you want to throw multiple darts at the board when it comes
00:44to a showdown lineup like this with a Luka, with a Shea, especially if you're going with
00:50some sort of lesser than and value, if you will, in that captain spot.
00:56But the way that I wound up doing it, and maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't, I've
00:59got Luka there at captain and I want to continue to pay up for some of the guys who really
01:05could go out and perform at a very high level, which means in the flex, I also have SGA.
01:12You have to have him on the OKC side.
01:14And I also have Kyrie Irving, who, as we know, is capable for a real big bounce-back
01:19game from what he did in Game 2 and blowing up and getting you 40, 50, even in excess
01:26of that, fantasy points.
01:28But then, obviously, when you do that, you need to have some value.
01:31And so, like you, I was looking at Kayson Wallace and Isaiah Joe.
01:35I put both of them in the lineup and I think both of these guys, one, are prone to shoot.
01:41You look at the shots per minute, like these guys are going to come out firing whether
01:46they start or come off the bench.
01:48But that leaves you with very little, which is basically a punt play for a final spot,
01:52which you do have to risk a zero on.
01:54So I'm looking for upside and hoping that we don't get the goose egg, and that's Gordon
01:58Hayward.
01:59He is, again, dirt cheap, obviously.
02:03He'll probably be owned in a fair percentage of lineups with people thinking the same thing,
02:07who want a Luka or an SGA in that captain spot.
02:10But that's the approach that I took.
