ADVICE

Don't Overreact To Low-Game Weeks

  • Avoid overreacting to a low-volume week by dropping players solely to chase more games.
  • Wait out injuries and schedule variance early in the season instead of making desperate roster moves.
ADVICE

Target Anthony Black After Magic Injuries

  • Add Anthony Black in most formats after Franz Wagner's knee injury and Jalen Suggs' exit.
  • Prioritize Black over deeper lottery pickups because Magic minutes and usage will shift.
