Episode notes
ADVICE

Watch Lineup Shifts With Missing Centers

  • Monitor rotation changes when a key center is out because backups and small-ball lineups can shift minutes drastically.
  • Adjust streaming targets only after confirming how teams deploy minutes against specific opponents.
ADVICE

Exploit Back-To-Back Doubtfuls

  • If a team lists multiple players as doubtful after a back-to-back, expect roles to open for cheaper options.
  • Target those cheap players only after the final injury confirmations to maximize streaming value.
INSIGHT

Chunky Schedule Raises Streaming Floor

  • Playing three games across five nights raises a player's floor by providing volume even if output is uneven.
  • Use that floor boost to stream low-owned players who will see consistent minutes over the stretch.
