NBA Friday Preview | 2-2 DFS Slate

·1 hr 5 min·3 clips

Josh Richardson shot 50% from three because he overslept and got an extra five minutes of sleep.

The RPS NBA podcast opens with a first look at the Friday slate and nine games on deck. Winky Christ is back on the mic, and the show spends a bit of time catching up before settling back into basketball. The tone stays loose, but the pace never really lets up. It is the kind of conversation that assumes you already know why the slate matters. The hosts move into the injury board early. Houston becomes a major point of focus because of the uncertainty around Alperen Sengun. If Sengun sits, the show points toward Jock Landale as the likely starter. That kind of news would also push Jabari Smith into more interesting fantasy territory. The discussion keeps circling back to waiting on the final injury report. That is basically the job on a slate like this. They also talk through the idea that illness can be harder to trust than a questionable tag usually looks. Jalen Green gets a long look because his recent production has changed the conversation. His usage, scoring, rebounding, and shooting all get weighed against the larger slate context. The hosts do not pretend they liked him from the jump. They just acknowledge the form he is in now. That matters more than old opinions. Toronto also comes up as an uncertain spot, with Scottie Barnes mentioned in the injury-news flow. The show keeps the focus on what that means for DFS lineups rather than drifting into pure basketball talk. Late in the conversation, the hosts start landing on names they actually want to click. Jonathan Kuminga gets a strong finish as a value piece the show likes at his salary. Domantas Sabonis is treated as an excellent spot rather than a debate. The episode closes the way these shows usually do, with a practical slate verdict and a reminder that more news is still coming. It feels built for people who are already thinking in lineups and injury updates.
