Discussion 2024-2025 NBA RDT Discussion: Tues 26 Nov 11am

its definitely possible, did it a few years back grabbed westbrook when he went on a tear and jumped heap of ground.

Setting up for next week is another way to make big jumps
this week for example you can take a small hit but most teams are on 3's anyway, then next week you've got all 4's, cash down your bench and maximise on field points, could be that extra premo on field that nets you 20-50pts/week

I've tried my best to take all that into account. 7/9 x4 this round and 9/9 next week injuries permitting*. Nailing the C has been the difference thus far at the top end.

Congrats to you on your impressive season so far, it's always good to see SCS people doing well whatever the format.

Giannis only has 2 games next week. I'm thinking is that's a rest week for him?

I think a lot of people forget about Mon/Tue games being a back to back when looking at individual players schedules week to week, as they are separate weeks in fantasy only. It's something you really need to consider for some players.

I actually keep the last day of each round open when making trades ...
- it does sometimes help when spitting hairs ... but has also backfired plenty of times ...

Giannis played Sun/Tues though. What am I missing?

Daniels with the block on Fox’s shot, for the Hawks win

 

[BallDontLie]

I bring in Dyson and first game he has zero steals haha you can’t script this. Still a decent score though

Sengun VC and Giannis C the big recruits this week failing spectacularly in the first game. They have their work cut out to recover from this start

Cade continues to surprise. KAT having a great year. McCain also solid

Lucky start, had top scorer for round as captain for first 3 rounds
and dodged a few injuries/missed games
Sabonis captain last week though and JJ missing 1st game when im already going in thin this week should bring me back to the pack a bit
its a long season!

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

207/0 Giannis
8 SI

Giannis not so great, nor Powell, but Tari Eason, take a bow - 14 boards, 3 blocks, and 4 steals for 34 points for a non-starter.

 

[wogitalia]

I had the ultimate good/bad start. Including bench I only had 3 guys outside the 20-33 point range (all 3 below 20!). Powell only starter below 22 but that 22 is the captain. Only two players behind their BE but most more or less on target for it.

It really feels different when you don't have Joker

Siakam, Wagner and Giannis in, first two solid, Giannis very bad but he can bounce back and I'd imagine he's the captain for 90% of teams that are active.

Pretty sure Giannis is my only non-4 gamer next week at this point, barring the obvious injuries that will now strike me with furious vengeance, so well placed if I can survive this week.

 

[T43597]

234 from 8 including Giannis (C). My new recruits Vucevic, Mathurin & Amen Thompson all did great (For their price points) with Giannis the last of my trade ins scoring poorly. I think if he plays all 4 games this round though, he will be one of the top scorers. At least i am counting on that.

Keeping Powell and Daniels has been okay although i hope Powell can get to 80 from 4 but that may be slightly wishful thinking.

Not a direct reference to your post, more a general comment that some people get fixated on how many games people play in a "week", and not looking at their rolling schedule.

[Moranther]

McCain giving owners/starters a nice 22! Mathurin with a pleasant 27 as well.

Hopefully most have avoided / dodged the injuries this week considering how early in the week they were announced. Good luck to all for the rest of the week!

I passed on McCain but thankfully Daniels caught up!

Daniels is having a real break out season ....
- kudos to him ... love watching him play ...

0/258 Sengun
10 SI

THU-
Sengun, Siakam, Mathurin, Daniels, KAT, Harden, F Wagner, ZLV

 

[The Night Manager]

What does SI stand for?

 

[Connoisseur]

Could use another boost for Wemby to Davis which would mean Thompson over Wagner.
View attachment 80620

Went ahead with the move which locked me out of Wagner funds wise. Can reverse Wemby to Davis to keep the boost if he returns for San Antonio tomorrow. Considered Eason at the start of Houston’s run but opted for the lower breakeven of Thompson this round. Grabbed Eason a few week back off the waiver wire so very happy with that considering Williamson, Durant and Holmgren are all on IR.

218 with Davis to come. Everyone bar Hart and Davis schedule for four games this round.

What does SI stand for?

SI= Score Involvement

Usually features heavily in BBL due to the nature of doubles in the schedule and carries over into the likes of NBL and NBA where teams play twice, three or four times in the round.

For example= 9 players equals nine score involvements
Plus your captain (X2) equals 10 score involvements.

Thanks for that. It was doing my head in trying to figure it out.
