Let's take a look at Wednesday. No 83 point games or anything like that, just six NBA games to recap for fantasy basketball, Michael Bolton.

Thanks, Josh. It's Michael Bolton here, and it's time for another episode of the Locked-on Fantasy Basketball podcast. Let's get to it.

Let's get to it. Indeed.

You are lockeded-on Fantasy, your daily NBA fantasy podcast, part of the Locked-on

Podcast Network, your team every day.

Hello and welcome to the Locked-on Fantasy Basketball podcast, brought to you by Basketball Monster.

My name is Josh Lloyd, and I once fought Galen from Big Brother in a car park in Elwood.

I'm also the lead fantasy analyst at Basketballmonster.com, and thank you for making

locked-on fantasy basketball your first listen every day.

We are free, available on all platforms and part of the number one sports podcast network. Again, so thank you. Thank you for making us number one. We'll just dive straight in. It's recap in Wednesday. We'll get to some news up first. You've already heard it. I've already spoken about it on the show, but in addition to the Tyrese maxi injury, now Kelly Ubra is out for a couple of weeks with an elbow issue. So no Maxi, no Embed, no George, no Ubrae. They're down to nothing. So while I was giving you a lot of concerns, or not even concerns, some things to be cautious with with campaign, again, he was going to be a bench player, probably playing 26 minutes a night and shooting 42% most nights. Now I think there's... Like, he has to start almost. Because who do they have? It'll be Edgecombe. You'll have Grimes, Barlow, and one of the centres. So I guess you could start Watford or get in he's like a four?

Will you play the three? I don't know.

You start Payne and push Grimes to the three.

Maybe you start Justin Edwards.

There's so much garbage on that team.

So this injury elevates Payne's floor through the roof, I think. Oklahoma City, I've talked a lot about people rushing and adding, AJ Mitchell or Jalen Williams. I said, like, yeah, let's see what happens, right? Because terrible schedule and a lot of guys are out. Well, Chet is back for the game on Thursday. Caruso is back for the game on Thursday. Hardinstein still remains out, and Jalen Williams, the little one, still remains out as well. So some of those things are still in play. But we're going to see a little bit of a different rotation and watching how Pig Williams's minutes look with Chet, because I don't think he started a single game next to Chet all season. We'll see what they decide to do here. In Indiana, Ivets Zubats has been upgraded to questionable. They're in the middle of a back-to-back Thursday, Friday, so we won't play both of these. I think you'll play any back-to-back's rest of the season. They're also in prime position as the number one seed in the lottery now. Zubats, I think, will be pretty limited minutes-wise, and he'll have games that he plays absolutely,

but we've dealt with Ivitz-Zub-Zub-its in the past. Remember, with the Clippers, and he played 28 minutes a night, he was a fringe player. And one of the reasons he really elevated last season, he started getting 32-33. I don't know how Carlisle's going to handle it, but I'm pretty sure he's not going to roll in with 30 minutes a night here. You could run to add if it's a zoo bat's.

I'm not convinced it's going to be enough. He doesn't block enough shots at a high enough rate,

doesn't stop. minutes a night here. You could run to add if it's Zubats. I'm not convinced it's going to be

enough. He doesn't block enough shots at a high enough rate, doesn't score at a high enough

rate, he'll be a solid rebounder, but we were doubtful in 28 minutes of Zubats in the past.

Is 23 going to be enough? I'm pretty uncertain about that. The other thing is in Memphis

is we got, um, they're on the first night of a back-to-back and against it easy, or not easy,
