We're talking about the games on Tuesday. There are seven of them on. No games that were

postponed or anything like that. I think we might be done with that for now, at least. What we can do, though, is get into some waiver-wire trends, and then we get into discussing these games, the most added player, or most added players over the last 24 hours since we last did this list. Number one was Justin Champani. And with the Wizards getting Bilal-Kulabili back, it wasn't as good for Champani. We'll talk about what to do with him later. Isaiah Collier. Well, that's an obvious stream in with Keonté George out and it's a back-to-back makes sense. Dick Johnson III, Trey Johnson. Again, I feel like this bloke is just like a control C, control V with these games. Like, ah, good scoring, but like what else? I get streaming him in and he held the spot over Bub, which is what we expected. I love the stream of Aaron Wiggins. He had a big opportunity with lots of guys out. And the last one, there is Eve Macy. We're going to dive into that Palakins Center situation in this show as well. The most drop players, number one is James Huff, who seems to be out of the

rotation at the moment. I will be interested to see that if the national tile Jarris Walker, hello, is out tomorrow, does Huff just go back and start? Is it Potter? Is it Bradley? Is it Jackson? I don't know. I imagine that if Walker is out, Huff might play, but it's almost impossible to hold a bloke to complain 20 minutes, 28 minutes, or zero minutes.

Um, founder pants. I would not have dropped him. Kevin Herta played on Monday, barely played. We've got four more games this week, plus starting on Wednesday, it's five games in seven nights from then as well. It's just an overwhelming bulk of games, and part of the reason you had Kevin Herta, surely. Surely the reason you had Kevin Herder was for a five-game week and you don't bail after one game because it is a useless stream. Maybe he's useless on every one of these games. Absolutely possible. But if you added for a five-game week, you do not bail after one game. It is a useless move, I believe. It's not like he got hurt and you had to move on. Simone Fontechio, he played really well last week for most of the games. Dropping him makes sense. But now, starting Wednesday, the heat, start another five game in seven-night stretch. So if you wanted to do the bulk, the Kevin Herder, say, for example, you might get back onto Fontechio, but with Kalele Ware returning,

maybe that pushes Fontecchio out of the rotation, also possible. But heald being dropped,

cool, and the Hong Kong mattress, Kaysen Wallace, bye-bye, injured, bad, steel streamer only,

as my, what just happened there? Where did my thing go?

Well, that was bloody weird. Anyway, it's back now. Yeah, Hong Kong mattress. Gone. Casein Wallace, not a hold. Don't see any real reason for it. I do see a reason for talking about the game. So let's do it. First game. Portland. In Washington, the Wizards. They win. Are they okay? 115, 111 is the final score here for this one. And what is important in this one for Portland is that Denny Abdiya returned, and he didn't have to leave early, and we had both Jeremy Grant and Drew Holiday play second night for back-to-back again. Encouragingly, for Drew Holiday, he played 25 minutes on the back-to-back. Now, he shot 14%, which is like clearly horrific. But let's look at the positives here. Five, seven, and four with the steel, and took 14 attempts. He just couldn't hit anything, and I worry there was a little bit of fatigue issue they would Drew. But just make sure that nobody drops Drew Holiday after this, and if they do, you go and grab him immediately.

As for Grant, again, struggled, 24 minutes on the back-to-back, six and four with a block, 30% shooting. He's been much better than anticipated this season. I would be rostering him, but he's an easier cut to me than what Drew Holiday is. Shaden Sharp was excellent, 31 points on 55% shooting. This is a huge sell high. he's not going to maintain that role or that efficiency as these other guys ramp up. That is a huge sale high, I think. Two steals and a block also for him, while Abdiya played 31 minutes in his return, a nice 17 and 12 double double. Part of the concern I had with Abdiah was, A, the shooting numbers, and they were terrible here, but that's beside the point. It was more like those absolutely elite assist numbers when he plays with Drew Holiday weren't there. And we've got a little bit of a second sample size appearing now that they're just not as high as before. So again, that Denny Abdiya's sell high is definitely done. He's still going to be. That doesn't mean, again, it's worth reiterating. A cell hide does not mean that a player will be bad.

It doesn't mean that they're going to turn terrible. It doesn't mean get rid of them at all costs. That means that you are sitting at real peak stuff. And if somebody wants to give you real peak back, that's what you do. So you don't do anything with it now with Abdiah, but that happened. Just a stinker from Klingan, 35% from the field on 17 attempts, he's horrific.

He did have 20 boards, which is great, and a steel on a block, but that happened. Just a stinker from Klingan, 35% from the field on 17 attempts. He did have 20 boards, which is great and a steel on a block, but that field goal percentage is not what you want. But I've got to also talk about Tamani Kamara. 33 minutes, 16 and 9, 4 3s, 4 assists, one block. What Tamani Kamara is doing now is exactly what I thought that he would do when I had him

ranked in the 90s to begin the season and he's been terrible for 14 weeks, 13 weeks.
