ADVICE

Use Waiver Trends For Short-Term Adds

  • Monitor waiver wire activity for breakout streamers like Io DeSumo and Steven Adams after heavy minutes games.
  • Drop low-upside veterans like Al Horford when better short-term streaming options exist.
INSIGHT

Hornets Bigs Will Split Minutes

  • Charlotte rotated Ryan Kalkbrenner and Moussa Diabate with both seeing starter-level minutes in Game 1.
  • Lloyd expects their minutes to be fluid and split long-term, reducing single-player reliability.
ADVICE

Prioritize Davion Mitchell, Reassess Ware

  • Add Davion Mitchell if undrafted; he logged 35 minutes and contributed steals and assists with Tyler Herro out.
  • Don't hold Kaleb Ware long if minutes stay near 14 despite occasional stats.
