Week 13 is the perfect waiver week: no crazy 14 game slates, plenty of back to backs, and a massive Lakers 5 game week to exploit.

In this episode we break down how to use your waiver adds based on your matchup position (protecting a lead vs chasing categories), which teams only play twice, and the best short term streamers versus the guys worth giving a “forever home” for the next month.

We cover:

• Week 13 schedule breakdown and back to back planning
• Lakers 5 game week stream targets
• Best adds for immediate value
• Longer term pickups that can stick through the finals build
• Catch and release drops: who to move on from right now

The first real NBA trade has landed and the fantasy market has officially exploded.

Flanders and Malley dive into Yahoo’s most traded players from real leagues and break down what managers should actually be doing. From Trae Young panic trades and shutdown risk, to buy-low opportunities on Bam Adebayo and Pascal Siakam, this episode is all about separating noise from edge.

We break down real trades involving Trae Young, Jaren Jackson Jr, Bam Adebayo, Pascal Siakam, Chet Holmgren, Dyson Daniels, Alex Sarr and more. Who is a genuine buy, who is a sell before the value drops, and which trades should never happen in competitive leagues?

If you are playing NBA Fantasy category or points leagues and want smarter trade decisions instead of emotional ones, this episode is for you.

Drop your trades in the comments and let us know who you are buying or selling.
