ADVICE

Grab Zach Edey Now

  • Add Zach Edey from the waiver wire immediately if available because Josh predicts top-60 fantasy value by late November.
  • Expect minutes limits and staggered availability early, but grab him for upside sooner rather than later.
ADVICE

Use LaMelo Status For Stream Picks

  • If LaMelo is probable for Friday, assume he won't play Saturday; only expect him Saturday if he misses Friday.
  • Pick up Charlotte backups (Trey Mann, Sion/Jalen-type fillers) when LaMelo is doubtful on a back-to-back.
ADVICE

Expect Giannis To Sit Second Game

  • Treat Giannis as likely to sit Saturday if he’s listed probable for Friday and plays that night.
  • Start Milwaukee backups like Bobby Portis/Kuzma-type options when Giannis is doubtful on a back-to-back.
