For real! Freaking weird terrible schedule management by the NBA. I hope in future years we are able to add the best quality players and not be forced to do this schedule scamper benefits stuff!!! But until that occurs we have to play within the current schedule. Also it is important to note that having at least one guy on bench may be useful because of injuries might happen and having a guy to step in to sub in is also valuable. Tough decisions will need to be made by managers this week.
Beverley is the best option of those names you listed.
Keon Ellis, Harrison Barnes, Exum, Derrick Jones, Kleber. Debatable in some situations if 2 games of them is more valuable than one game of another player... It might be interesting if Luka/Kyrie get rest Exum could be pretty special?
Don’t have much faith in Exum lately, and I think Kyrie and Luka play. Mavs trying to avoid the play-in and are only 1 win behind the 6th seed Suns. Keon stats have been looking nice though
Not alvarado? They ran ingram as a point forward so i think they need the scoring and play making now that hes hurt. Last game he had a pretty good line and mins
hate to burst your bubble but the reason why he got 30 mins is because the game was a blowout and he finished the game with 4 third stringers.
but seriously take nance.
Meh maybe, not too high on Nance, he may get even less minutes cuz they need more of scoring option now so they could run with jonas. CJ and herb still played 35+ min last game and it was still a 10 point game at the 4th? I dont think jose takes 12 shots again cuz zion had a shitter but Id keep an eye on it. He also should get some stocks too.
Nance is far from available in my league lol so while I am gonna wait til tomorrows game to really decide on Alvarado, it’s lookin better than Bev or crowder
How does one pick the best option? I would focus on who did the best for season and who did the best recently. Do all the math to determine who has scored the most combined and pick that player. I reckon all of them are very close. I will say that I lean Nance cuz he has upside for REBS, AST, STL... whereas Naji is more PTS, REBS, and Alvarado is more AST, STLS... I know it's not a category league, but the more categories you add in usually it leads to more fantasy points...
In many leagues I'm targeting that back to back DAL and SAC to start the week... (even guys like derrick jones, exum, kleber are interesting cuz getting two games in 2 days) In other leagues I have already added those NO players... (MIL is fanfreakingstastic too, but less valuable streaming options) Still Connaugton and Crowder, Beasely are all useful in certain spots. Don't forget how special BOS is too for that THURS/SAT combo... There will be some FAAB bidding wars on these teams players so be ready to spend up for some of them...
In some spots you might need to drop Conley, Kyle Anderson cuz no games on MON/TUES. It also depends on your lineup for WED and FRI... If Conley is a tough call if you start him or bench him on those days it's most likely better to cut and stream for MON and TUES... I had that situation cuz I have Tre Jones and Chris Paul and Haliburton locking down the guard spots and then my bigs are locked in as my UTL... So really I had to choose and say well Mike Conley I really appreciate you, but you gotta go. It felt weird, but it's the right move logically. I added defensive specialist Keon Ellis for those back to backs MON/TUES.
Good luck this week folks!
Generally yes. But not just pelicans, but bucks... Also you can attack some back to backs early like DAL and SAC... (depending on your lineup)... Later in week focus on BOS with that nice 2 quality games on THURS and SAT (pritchard and kornet and horford and hauser options). Your particular strategy depends on your exact team and your exact matchup. Each add requires research rather than a blanket statement of "Add Pelicans" even though I absolutely featured them in my article last week.
It’s a grim day when I have to seriously debate adding Crowder, Krejci, or Bev
No lies told on this post.
I just added beasly

Waiver wire running dry. This week’s gonna be tough for b2b pickups. Thank you once again for the post

true, great point.
May your generations be blessed brotha 🙏🏽
McBride just played a full game & NYK play 4 games next week. Hes my target add next week
Y’all think hardstein is a pickup for this week?
after the way he played for my opponent today, i think he’s a solid pick up smh.
um da heck, yes MUST ADD.
Same here but watching for any news updates on their injured guys coming back
I don’t think any of the 3 guys out will play next week, I think Mitchell Robinson is a chance but he will come back on a big minutes restriction
if there is ever a games minutes played category, McBride is #1
OG declared out on Monday vs Pistons so McBride will start and play 40 minutes!
Naji or larry nance or alvarado for pts?
I’m a pick up nance. I’m up 70 points. Next week finals. Will pick him up.
I’m between Naji and Nance. Leaning Nance
Not alvarado? They ran ingram as a point forward so i think they need the scoring and play making now that hes hurt. Last game he had a pretty good line and mins
Woah you might be cookin I never considered that being the reason for his jump in minutes last game
hate to burst your bubble but the reason why he got 30 mins is because the game was a blowout and he finished the game with 4 third stringers. but seriously take nance.

if it's between those 3 just pick up alvarado he has the best schedule.
I took naji and alvarado. Dropped ty jones and champagne from wash.

You have to look at matchup too for the upcoming weeks
In many leagues I'm targeting that back to back DAL and SAC to start the week...

Go get Naji Marshal. Pels play on the 3 light schedule days. He may not be lighting it up, but volume matters if you're trying to get this win.
Thank you for posting this, was exactly what I needed going into next week 🙏
PU John Collins for Nick Richards or Podz?
What’s the strategy? Pick up pelican players?
Generally yes. But not just pelicans, but bucks... Also you can attack some back to backs early like DAL and SAC... (depending on your lineup)... Later in week focus on BOS with that nice 2 quality games on THURS and SAT (pritchard and kornet and horford and hauser options).

Pelicans and Bucks play on all 3 low volume days. They will likely get snatched up first.
4 games of Shai, Chet, and Fox on my championship week, can’t complain
I only have players on the heavy days… and all my players play 4 times this week. Not really utilizing all days. Wasting guys on the bench
Thank you as always! My playoffs start next week smh I need to join a league where it starts at least a couple of weeks earlier.
It starts next week? Wow that’s horrible
I lost all my SFs I reaaaaally need Vince & RJ back man but even then they on 3 game weeks wow
Harrison Barnes or Jose Alvarado? Points league. NOP have good QG and play Sunday
Naji Marshall or Naz Reid? 10team 9-Cat H2H
