ADVICE

Cover Brunson With High-Usage Backups

Consider rostering Immanuel Quickley or Donte DiVincenzo-level backups like Josh Hart or Alec Burks when Jalen Brunson is out to cover usage and counting stats.
Target Quentin Grimes or Isaiah Hartenstein depending on availability, but prefer McBride or Shamet if they are unowned in deeper leagues.

ADVICE

Target Magic Role Players After Banchero Injury

Add role players like MarNicke Black, John Isaac, or Tristan De Silva if Paolo Banchero misses time to capture boosted minutes and stat volume.
Prioritize more secure options like Franz Wagner and Suggs if you prefer safer fantasy production increases.

Josh Lloyd rhetorically asks whether Nick Claxton or Nikola Vucevic is the better center, using it as a playful aside.
The remark highlights Claxton's recent rise in value and sparks discussion rather than presenting a definitive answer.
