NBA Trade Deadline Fantasy Basketball Strategy | Silly Season Stashes & Deadline Movers

In today’s episode of On Fire Fantasy, Jacob Dunne breaks down how leagues are actually won at the NBA Trade Deadline — the most critical stretch of the fantasy basketball season.

With only days remaining before the deadline, this is where Silly Season is quietly decided. Roles shift fast, minutes open overnight, and the managers who plan ahead — instead of panic — gain a massive edge.

This episode dives into saving moves, stashing the right players, and identifying the teams and situations most likely to swing fantasy leagues once trades start rolling in.

WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:
• How to properly manage adds leading up to deadline day
• Why saving moves is critical (and how many you really need)
• Teams most likely to create fantasy chaos
• Trade-probability tiers: high, medium, and low movers
• Priority stash targets who could explode post-deadline
• How to think one step ahead before Silly Season flips rotations
