Episode notes
INSIGHT

Suns Rotation Creates Deep-League Opportunities

  • Suns rotation volatility creates short-term value for bench performers like Colin Gillespie and Royce O'Neale.
  • Their minutes spike when Dylan Brooks or Jalen Green are questionable, making them targetable in deeper formats.
INSIGHT

Watch Pelicans' Emotional, Unstable Lineups

  • New Orleans shows chaotic lineup decisions that signal a dysfunctional team environment.
  • Emotion-driven starts (like DeAndre Jordan vs. former team) often indicate a coach is making non-repeatable roster choices.
ADVICE

Track Marcus Smart To Identify Lakers Streamers

  • Monitor Lakers' Marcus Smart status because his absence boosts minutes for Austin Reaves, Luke Kornet, and Jarred Vanderbilt.
  • Start LaRavia and Vanderbilt in deeper formats if Smart is out to capture increased roles.
