Fantasy managers race to add Bogdan Bogdanovic, Naji Marshall, and Tristan da Silva off the waiver wire—but can these surging NBA pickups actually deliver long-term value?

With injury replacements and hot streaks fueling roster churn, which fantasy adds will flame out by week's end?

Josh Lloyd breaks down key fantasy basketball trends, debating the sustainability of breakout performances, the wisdom of holding or dropping names like Collin Sexton and Malik Monk, and why playing the streaming game often trumps chasing short-lived production. Insightful waiver wire strategy, must-roster recommendations, and analysis of schedule hacks could shape your next big win. Is now the moment to grab Zach Edey or Moussa Diabate? Stay ahead of the competition with this essential NBA fantasy update.
