ADVICE

Exploit Monday's Nine-Game Slate

Stream aggressively this week because Monday has nine NBA games and many back-to-backs create extra streaming value.
Prioritize adding low-rostered players with multi-game schedules to maximize games played.

Minute shifts cascade across several bench and rotation players in fantasy lineups.
