ADVICE

Exploit Back-To-Back Load Management

Monitor back-to-back teams closely because coaches will rest or limit minutes for load management.
Use those managed rests to target streamers on teams likely to sit players on the second night.

INSIGHT

Three-Game Advantage Is Real

Four teams (Warriors, Kings, Wolves, Pelicans) play three games in the next seven days while every other team plays two.
That three-game edge creates a measurable streaming and roster advantage during the NBA Cup week.

INSIGHT

Platform Settings Change Value

Yahoo and ESPN currently treat the NBA Cup week as a single seven-day matchup, which misallocates value.
Fantrax lets commissioners merge weeks to preserve fairness, making league settings crucial this week.
