We had seven games on Tuesday. Let's talk about all of that action, including, of course, your mate, Yves Nerkich, going off again. What do we do? I don't know. We'll figure it out, Mickey B. Do you have the answers? Of course not, because you're pre-recorded. Thanks, Josh. It's Michael Bolton here, and it's time for another episode of the locked-on fantasy basketball podcast.

Seven games on. Let's talk about a little bit of news that has come through. We'll get into that right now. Let's have a look. We know that old mate James Butler is diagnosed with the torn ACL,

so his season is over and most of the next season is over. We'll talk about more of that in the Golden State Warriors game today. We also got really bad news for Steve Adams. Now, he hasn't officially been ruled out for the season, but Imani Adoka told us he thinks it's a grade three ankle spray. Now, I'm going to have a little bit of PTSD from the Grizzlies telling us Desmond Bain had a grade three ankle spray and he was back in like two minutes.

But if it's an actual grade three ankle spray, and Adams is done, he's not coming back in the regular season. So be aware of that, that double big alignment. We saw them go back to Josh Okie today. They're not going to be able to do that. We'll see what that means for Clint Capella, but again, luckily, the Rockets play today, so we'll have a bit of an idea with that.

And then Austin Reeves is going to be coming back at some point on the Lakers road trip.

They play eight games. that means for Clint Capella, but again, luckily, the Rockets play today, so we'll have a bit of an idea with that. And then Austin Reeves is going to be coming back at some point on the

Lakers road trip. They play eight games on the road here. So in the next eight games, Austin Reeves is going to be returning. So we got that bit of news, which is all really good. What about WaverWire trends who's been added and who's been dropped since the last time I did this show, which was, of course, yesterday.

The most added blokes for yes-a-number-Makhailisvili, because we thought he was going to start. He did not, but that doesn't mean he's not going to be useful. We'll talk about that game later. Jordan Miller, the bubble burst somewhat there. Aaron Wigo Wiggins with the injury to Jalen Williams. That is a solid ad. People did prioritize Moses Moody. I must be in the minority, but again, I don't know what happened in that Warriors game yet, because I'm recording this bit at the start. We'll see whether that decision was correct to add in Moses Moody. That wasn't one for me. And then Malik Monk, people added him after he had a really big one last time. I can't, well, I've got thoughts about the Kings. I'll talk about them a little bit later on, but all those moves are basically just doing things for today. The most drop player, of course, Jim Butler III. Off you go. It's been a great career, mate. I hope you come back to something close to it. Juice McBride with Jalen Brunson back, easy drop. Dayron Sharp, people dropped, like they jumped off a little bit quick there. I get it though, but this is, I think that's maybe, I wasn't as overly hyped about Dayron Sharp because I believed he was playing 19 minutes anyway, and not playing like a 24 minute split with Claxton, but now that he's back in that backup roll, people panicked with it, and he missed the game with an illness. Brandon Williams, he was bad last game with the foul trouble, totally understandable, and then Caleb Love. See you later, my guy, with players coming back, they don't play till Thursday. Easy, easy, jack off merchant. Get that garbage out of here! What we can do now is go in to talk about the games. First one. The Phoenix Suns, the Philadelphia 76s. The

sons did get back. Finally, finally, Jalen Green returned to action. He did not start. He came off the

bench and they win 116, 110. The Suns have rolled out the same starting group that they've been

rolling out in the last, I don't know, three or four games. And it doesn't fully give us the answer of what this rotation is going to look like because of the limits on Jalen Green in this game. We'll talk about Green first. He played 20 minutes off the bench. He had 12 points. He took 11 shots. That's a lot, obviously, in that limited time frame. 27 usage, but that's a little bit. Like, 27 usage, sometimes players coming back off injury, they go sick, they go, I've only got a certain amount of minutes, let's just go crazy on shots. That's not an abnormal usage for Jalen Green. So when you see that, and then you go, well, I've got to actually double those shot attempts, perhaps. When he gets back to four minutes, you realize there's going to be a sizable impact. What I found interesting is that Jordan Goodwin maintained 20 minutes and was Ryan Dunn, who really lost out, he played only 8.

20 minutes, and was Ryan Dunn, who really lost out, he played only 8. 20 minutes for Goodwin, another banger from him, 16, 4 and 2, 2 3s, 2 steals. He's right up there on the top level. You know who he is? You know who Jordan Goodwin is a little bit? A bit like Danthony Mountain. one of those players who comes through the undrafted second round pick battles as a backup but always
