LIVE Fantasy Basketball Mailbag With Josh Lloyd | Dumping The Utah Jazz

Can you trust sinking stars and breakout rookies to guide your fantasy basketball team to victory? Josh Lloyd tackles pressing listener questions, including whether to drop struggling veterans like Jusuf Nurkic and Santi Aldama, the upside of rookies like Kyle Filipowski and Isaiah Collier, and the real potential behind Amen Thompson’s defensive stats. Heated league trades, strategies for stashing LaMelo Ball and Jaren Jackson Jr., and daily vs. weekly points league quandaries come under scrutiny as the fantasy landscape shifts.

From the ongoing frustrations with the Sleeper platform's locked leagues to crystal-ball speculation on Jayson Tatum's recovery timeline, Josh Lloyd offers sharp, candid advice on maximizing value for players such as Toumani Caara, Kelly Oubre, Aaron Nesmith, and De’Anthony Melton. Find out which waiver-wire pickups could be game-changers, how to handle stubborn league mates, and why overthinking NBA trade rumors and tanking narratives may torpedo your fantasy edge. Don’t miss this rapid-fire mailbag for next-level hoops strategy.
