---------------------------------------------

MATCH PREVIEW

#1 Ritter 5-1
vs
#5  Danny  3-3

This should be a pretty good match. I think Danny has one of if not the best team in the league. So it would be no surprise for him to take down the number one team this week. But he is number one for a reason so good luck. 
--------------------------------

#3 Eric  4-2
vs
#2  Dalton  4-2

Back to back weeks Dalton has made a trade on Sunday to try and win. This week he just fell short. But you have to give him much credit for doing what most wont (TRADE). If Teague would of played then he might of had a shot at getting the win. So blame Teague Dalton.... Eric has been playing really well lately. Having the best average this past week shows that. Dalton should be scared that Eric will take him down. Might need to do a trade on Wen instead of Sun this week. But all and all this could be a very good match. They are not 2 and 3 for no reason. 
-----------------------------------

#9 Matt  1-5
vs
#10 Kapper  0-6

A battle of our worst 2 teams in the league. Someone has to win! And I really do not know who to bet on here. Matt averages 16.2 a play, while Kapper is at 16.0..... It is very close as you see. Kapper needs and i am sure wants a win pretty badly. Lets see if he pulls out all the stops this week and gets his first win. 
-------------------------------

#7  Todd  3-3
vs
#4 Gher  4-2

Gher was the only team to score over 700 this past week. So congrats on that... Gher is riding high off his teams performance last week and expects to get another win over Todd this week who just put up a 14.1 player average. But we can't expect Todd to do that again this week surely. This could be a better match then what it appears on the surface. But Gher has been one tough opponent to beat this year. 
----------------------------------

#8 Duke  3-3
vs 
#6 Nathan  3-3

Duke might of missed out on a win this week by not checking his trade proposals. But he is still 3-3 and has a solid team. It is a long season so losing this one wont hurt to bad i am sure... Nathan on the other hand got a super lucky win off of Todd. I am not sure Todd's team wanted to leave the Thanksgiving table as he put up the worst average of the week to help Nathan out. But I don't think Nate should be relying on luck since he has so many Injured guys. Right now he has 3 guys listed as OUT and 2 DTD.... Look for Nathan to be a walk in the park for the month of December. It should be really really hard to get the amount of plays you need to get the victory. But being 3-7 is not that bad i guess lol.... Do not forget Nathan that this year in football your team sucked bad but you made a few trades and now you set to make the playoffs. Trading can help, don't be so against people trying to make you offers.... I heard you got offered Aaron Gordon for Wall or Gobert and based on the numbers that looked like solid offer :)

I already used all my acquisitions this week, hoping that I have this win in the bag. But anything can happen. But being up over 100 always feels nice. So I went ahead and tried to stash Nance who averaged 16 a game before he got hurt. Not great but respectful numbers.

We have a very close match here for the night and on the week. This is anyones game and I actually had them both projected to tie at 626.... I am not sure if Gher reads this. But Lou Williams has been killing it lately and he has a super juicy match up with Cavs tonight. I could see Williams going for about 25 tonight but he is on Ghers bench. Eric will have to play the waiting game to see if he puts him in for the play tonight.

Dalton hit gold last night by playing Monroe in his Suns debut. He scored 32! Can he really do that again tonight on a back to back set? I really doubt it and Nate hope it doesn't happen.... Dalton is trailing by 33 to start the day but I don't only see him catching up tonight but I could see him passing Nate and taking the lead on this epic match up.

Brown was huge last night just one day after the death of his best friend to.... Matt does not seem to be closing ground on Duke and it looks like Duke will run away with the victory. But for some reason if Duke can put up a dud night and Matts team goes off, then there is a chance. Thats right! I am telling you there is a chance.

Todd has his white rhinos playing along side his other 2 bigs in Jordan and Drummond tonight. Kind of surprised he didnt have much higher projections. But Whiteside is going up against the toughest defender at the center spot tonight in Gortat. I still see Whiteside over 20 tonigth though. And this could also be a good night for Miles Turner who could break out at any moment. And Todd is waiting for him to do that very thing. Well tonight could be that night as he faces a week center guarding Andre Drummond.... If Todds supporting cast can keep up with his bigg 4 tonight then this could be a very big night for Todd..... Danny is in the drivers seat with a 76 point lead at the moment..... Chris Paul went for 23 in just 20 minutes played last night. I am sure that made Danny very happy. Glad to have him back I am sure.

Matchup Preview

#1 Ritter  3-1
vs 
#10 Kapper  0-4

He is back on top again!! The DREAM CRUSHER IS BACK! One man goes down but he doesn't care. In team sports someone has to step up! In the case of the Dream Crushers, it was several who have stepped up and helped out......With that said, I think this will be a rather close match. Kapper gets the nod with a higher player average but only by .1, I am projected for a few more plays on the week so that gives me the bigger nod. I predict this to be close but I don't see Kapper getting his first win this week. Kapper is 0-6 vs Ritter in the last 3 seasons. Lets hope for my sake that streak continues. 
Prediction
Ritter     42---705
Kapper  40---676
--------------------------

#6 Eric  2-2
vs
#3 Gher  3-1

Eric is always willing to shake up his team by trading. Already pulled off few trades this year in fact. But this week he has a tough opponent in Gher.. And that trade Eric did this morning actually gave him one less play this week. But Gher is already projected for a low number of plays. That can be expected after his team had a above average plays these past few weeks. So Eric should be able to take advantage of that. I still feel like this will be close because Gher has a good team that has a decent player average. Here is my prediction....
Prediction
Eric   40---676
Gher  37---636
--------------------------

#2 Dalton
vs
#5 Nathan

Nathan was projected 44 plays this week but now after that trade he did and more then anything Gobert getting listed as out. His total has gone down to 41 on the week. Having 2 guys listed as OUT can really damper the squads performance. Gobert out 4-6 weeks and Thomas not set to return until January 1st.... That is at least 4 matches that Nate will be getting fewer plays then the rest of us. I sure hope I play Nate in that 4 week time frame. But I would suspect he would drop Thomas so that he doesn't have the headache. But I been wrong many of times.  And with that all said, my prediction might shock you for this match. But Nathan has 1.0 point higher player average then Dalton. And that goes a long way on my predictions. Dalton will need his guys to step up a little more then they have been lately if he wants to beat Nate. But I did knock off a little on Nates average for the week since Gobert wont be playing. Lets see how close I get. 
Prediction
Dalton  40---652
Nathan  41---676
--------------------------

#9 Matt  1-3
vs
#8 Duke  2-2

Matt brought Duke into this league and this will be there first ever match up vs each other. Wish I could say I felt like it would be a close one. But I think Duke will take the win this week and it wont be pretty. Duke probably has the best team in the league. He definitely has the most depth. While his buddy Matt's team has been struggling a little lately and you can blame most of that on Kawi Leonard. How cool is it for a guy to get drafted in first round and not play the first month of the season? And on top of that, he never even let us all know he was even injured pre fantasy draft. But he is not the only one hurting on Matt's team. Payton finally came back and put up big game but quickly set out again for few games after his short return. He also has Mello and Adams sitting out a game or 2... It just is not all clicking for Matt early on but I bet things turn around sooner then later. He is too good of a owner for it not to. But for Duke, feel free to trash talk Matt all week because you should have this win in the bag. 
Prediction
Matt  36---576
Duke  40---680
--------------------------

#7 Todd
vs
#4 Danny

This match should be closer then I project. I only say that because Danny has the highest average of 18.4 per play. Next closest is Nathan at 17.3.... Danny's average seems to be much higher then the group and I believe it will start to regress and get closer to all of us. But we did have a 20 player average last year. So it is possible for it to keep rising... Todd has loaded up on big men and could be looking to possibly make a trade to spread out his position depths a little. Turner has not been the same since that concussion but we only have that one game to go on before the concussion. But something just doesnt seem right with Turner. Might need to part ways with him and let someone else deal with him....These 2 are projected for the same amount of plays. So it will be interesting to see which team shows up with more fire power right out of the gate tonight. Look for this mach to come down to this weekend just like most the matches should. Well accept Matt and Duke....
Prediction
Todd     41---688
Danny  41---738
