Hello, everybody, and welcome to Fantasy NBA today. Sports Ethos show brought to you by our great

partners at Fandual. Hello, Paulin. We're already showing our ugly face in the first opening read of the show.

I'm Aaron Bruske. On today's show, we're diving through the Bruske 150 players, top bads, drop zone from

last night's action, highlighting the best streamers

heading into tonight. And hopefully, the city of trees here in Sacramento dropped all of its

pollen on everybody in one day, it feels like. So we'll see if we can make it through the show.

Kind of feel like it's going okayish, but we'll see how it goes. Let's get started with the news.

We got a lot of news. Of course we do. It's silly season. Let's start with Joel M. Bede. He's doubtful for tonight's game. And that leads us to a lot of players in Philadelphia that are actually kind of interesting. Adam Bona hasn't gotten it done this season, but over the last three games, he's averaged 2.3 blocks and 0.7 steals in his 20 minutes per game.

Also get you six rebounds, but he gets you practically nothing else. Hopefully, he will be a positive impact on your field goal percentage. He's a beneficiary. I don't know if he's an obvious beneficiary or not, but he's on the radar, especially if you need blocks. Jbarre Walker hasn't done much lately, but he is healthy, at least as of right now,

Trenton Watford's same thing. Dominic Barlow, 2.8 combined cash counting stats. That's steals, blocks, and threes for you new listeners out there. And by the way, hello, new listeners. 10 points and six boards for Barlow and not much else. He's been a late ground guy lately. And then Justin Edwards has actually been going off inside the top 50 over the last week.

2.5 steals, 0.8 blocks, 16 points, 5 boards, 3 assists. We've seen this out of him in the

past. They're used usually an expiration date on the Justin Edwards surge that occurs in March and April. I don't know how many seasons it's been in Philly. I know it's been at least one, maybe two, where Justin Edwards has kind of gone off during silly season. He's maybe the most exciting of them right now because Quentin Grimes, he's cruising. He's getting 21 points a game, but he's only at 2.8 combined cash counters over the last week. It's kept things in the late rounds, but we need more cash counters from Quentin Grimes so he can get back up to that top 75 production that he had for a lot of the season. Then Cameron Payne, he's falling off. DJ Edgecombe's been good, but he's hitting just 35% of his shots. That might actually be good news because everything else is there for Edgecombe. And if he can start hitting his shots, it's harder when he don't have good players on the floor. But if he can start hitting his shots, you might see some monster lines out of VJ Edgecombe right now with the percentage. He's been a late around guy. Billy Donovan says the plan is to have Jaden Ivy with the team on their upcoming road trip. The hope is that he can play. I don't think they're going to go overboard with this. I almost kind of think this is a non-news update even. If he does come back, maybe Rob Dillingham doesn't produce in the late rounds, which is what he's been doing this past week, getting 26 minutes per game, 13 and a half points, just under two threes, five assists, one point six combined defensive stats.

Colin Sexton's been back for a game. He played 18 minutes in the last one.

So I don't think Jaden Ivy's potential return does much, but maybe knock Dillingham out,

maybe put Colin Sexton on the bench for a game or so.

You know, we've got a little musical chairs going on in Chicago right now.

And then Trey Jones, he was quiet in this last one, but he's been a top 100 guy over the last four games.

Also super injury, risky, and possible that he misses games as well.

That's actually a sentence I just said.

We'll wake up here at some point.

Rick Carlisle said Pascal Seacom's making progress, but he doesn't know when he's going to return.

He says it's his opinion that Seaccom will play again at some point in time this season.
