Episode Notes

Fantasy basketball managers scramble as key injuries and sudden lineup shifts shake up the NBA's New Year's action. Victor Wembanyama and Jonas Valanciunas highlight the injury report, sparking hot waiver wire debates over pickups like Luke Kornet and DaRon Holmes.

Hot topics include Cam Thomas’s uncertain role with the Brooklyn Nets, Paul Reed’s and Isaiah Stewart’s new opportunities in Detroit after Jalen Duren’s injury, and trade strategy advice for managers navigating Joel Embiid’s rare availability. Plus, find out why it’s time to reconsider holding Noah Clowney, Max Christie, and Jaden Ivey. Get the strategic insights and roster tips you need to stay ahead as the fantasy season heats up!
