Let's take a look at Wednesday's games across the NBA. Was there stupidity? Of course there was. Were they big games? Also, yes. Let's talk about all of the action Michael D. Bolton. I don't know if your middle name starts with D.

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.

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

Podcast Network, your team every day. Hello and welcome to the Lockdown Fantasy Basketball podcast

brought to you by Basketball Monster.

My name is Josh Lloyd and I'm also a special advisor

to the Buck's front office in terms of coaching hires,

personnel decisions and tanking strategy.

We're going to talk about all of Wednesday's action.

Nine of them.

So we might as well just bang straight on in. First one. Philadelphia. Washington. What a huge, huge score. 153 Philadelphia, 131. Washington would have been good if Joelle Embedb played, but we'll talk about his replacements. Adembonner started. It was not bad. 13 and 4 with two steals in a block on 100% shooting. Andre Drummond played more minutes. 6, 9 and 4 with 2 steals. Again, not bad. But do we care? Not particularly. Drummond and Boner, like, I didn't do enough to go, man, you got to grab him just in case Embed misses more time. Embed is sick. He played his last game sick, and he's sick here.

So, look, it's not anything to be too concerned about. So I don't think you need to do anything here with those guys. What I would say, though, is we said last game, hey, if Quentin Grimes and Kelly Ubrey are going to play 31 minutes off the bench, go for it. They did not. Grimes played 23 and Uber

played 21. Now the games were

somehow identical, 12, 4 and 1

with... go for it. They did not. Grimes played 23 and Uberre played 21. Now the games were somehow identical, 12, 4 and 1 with two threes each, although Ubrae did add a steel and they both shot 50% on 10 attempts. Just unbelievable identicality, which is not a real word. They also both had two turnovers. You want to care about that. The only difference between the games is one extra steel for Ubrey. But if they're playing 23 minutes a night, you shouldn't care about it. The debatable part here

is that they have got a pretty decent schedule. So look at how it looks for your league, where your

league ends, what the matchup is looking like. That is a bad sign. But last game was really good

in terms of the prospects of what they do. Some of this is Wizards-based also, though, because again, we look at it and see, oh yeah, Maxi, instead of playing 44, minutes, play 34. So I'm going to give them probably the benefit of the doubt. As for Maxi, 28, 2 and 9. Edgecombe, 23, 3 and 10. George, how ridiculously good as Paul George been? Am I going to get sucked in and overdraft in next season? Probably not, but 39, 5 and 6, 3 steals and 6 triples on 68% shooting, bro, is absolutely flying at the moment. So if you weighted out the suspension or picked him up when he came back, it's worked out really well. What about the Washington Wizards? I'm just going to tell you what I tell you all the time.

Don't care.

Can't really do anything with it.

That's a great game from Anthony Gill, 35 minutes for Gilly, 21, 6 and 6. Sick. Do I care? Not really. Sa was out in this game. Again, Juju Riz did not play. He'll play some of the games. We're getting down to the stage where he can play almost every game, but not quite there.

Fukchevich, what an insane game.
