Will the Orlando Magic’s back-to-back absence of Jalen Suggs and the Charlotte Hornets’ depleted roster create unexpected fantasy breakouts? Expert recommendations spotlight deep-league adds like Anthony Black and Isaiah Collier while warning of untrustworthy rotations, especially from Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.

Josh Lloyd analyzes nine Monday games, touching on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s load management, sleeper streamers from the Utah Jazz (Svi Mykhailiuk, Kyle Filipowski), and under-the-radar pickups for both category and points leagues. The conversation explores optimal use of back-to-backs, crucial waiver-wire moves, and why active managers should exploit schedule quirks—especially with the Jazz’s three-game window—before Wednesday’s slate overload. Are fantasy GMs ready to capitalize before injuries and rest days derail lineups?
