ADVICE

Exploit Star Absences For Waiver Gold

  • Add waiver-wire streamers when stars like Embiid, Holmgren, or Morant are out to exploit sudden volume shifts.
  • Target players who step into primary ball-handling or minutes roles for immediate fantasy upside.
INSIGHT

Suns Returns Could Erode Stream Value

  • The Phoenix Suns' rotation volatility creates uncertain but valuable streaming choices when injured players return.
  • Returning players like Dylan Brooks or Jalen Green can quickly reduce other bench values.
ADVICE

Target Grizzlies Guards After Morant Suspension

  • With Ja Morant suspended, prioritize Cam Spencer and Jalen Wells for increased usage and assists.
  • Expect Spencer to handle more ball duties rather than non-dribbling options like KCP or Wells alone.
