Injury City Returns to the NBA

The Cavaliers are the newest team to enter Injury Hell. Darius Garland fractured his jaw in a collision with Kristaps Porzingis and will be out for a month.

Waiver Wire Tip: Streaming

Fantasy basketball owners are encountering injuries, late scratches, and players out with injury in the first few weeks. How do you bounce back? Simple answer: the waiver wire. “Streaming” is a fantasy basketball roster strategy that involves subbing in and out different players to your roster completely based on how they will perform that day for you. In a fluid NBA where players have to be safe and the next man up is a lot better than they used to be, tracking players who fill in spots for others is a huge key for injury management and the overall strategy of streaming.
