We’re in week 19 in fantasy basketball.
It’s crazy how quickly this season seems to be going.
And joining me to talk about not only his team, but the NBA Creator League, I got my man Ben Posey here.
What’s up, Ben?
How you doing?
Hey, man.
Doing good.
How are you?
Doing good.
Doing good, man.
In NBA Recap Pod, they are so- quickly rising up the ranks of the NBA Creator League, number four right now.
So I gotta ask you, man, and this, this is probably tip of the hat, we both have the same waiver wire here, but I wanna know, who are you picking up this weekend?
I mean, I’m looking at the Memphis Grizzlies right now.

They’ve got a lot of guys in the rotation getting minutes who aren’t necessarily rostered in a lot of leagues.
Obviously, GG Jackson.
But the point guard position too.
If, if Ja Morant remains out, Scotty Pippen Jr., Ty Jerome, Javan Small, one of these guys might be able to step up, get some consistent playing time, and provide value down the stretch.
Yeah, I mean, that Memphis situation is so interesting to see.
Like, I think Cam Spencer’s the one that, like, hasn’t really been rested that much.
Like, Ty Jerome is on a minutes restriction, so is Scotty Pippen Jr. and he’s coming off a really nice game.

really can stuff the stat sheet, gives you the assist, the rebounds, so I really like that call.
And just looking at the Memphis Grizzlies.
And, and I’m looking at, this one’s really just a match-up play.
I’m looking at Collin Sexton of the Chicago Bulls.
He’s facing the Sacramento Kings, which we know who they are and what they’re doing.
They are bottom three in points per game allowed to the point guard position as well as the shooting guard position.
And we know Collin Sexton can play both of those roles.
Josh Giddey may not be playing the amount of minutes that he was earlier in the season, so I think that there is some potential for him to go for one of those spike games, 35 fantasy points or more in a game versus Sacramento.
