It's pretty unusual that two centers pop up at the same time that get extra run without a key injury, but that's just what Tuesday brought our way. Daniel Gafford has started a few straight games and appears to be getting ample run, and Jay Huff is back in the starting five after a brief foray to the bench. Should we add?

Monday had 5 blowouts in 8 games. It wasn't the most fun, but hey, we got some sweet injury backup adds and the Hornets SMACKED the Thunder around, so the night had its moments!

After a winter break hiatus, Dan found some time over a weekend to squeeze in a Buy-Sell show... but the downside to the layoff is that the number of names to trade for (or unload) has dried up a bit, and thus we've only got three names. But they're good ones!

With 56 total games coming in week 12, almost every team (and player) gets to showcase their skills 3-4 times. Should we still stream? Who has weird pockets of off days we can exploit?

Happy New Year!! Jonas Valanciunas was on his way to a HUGE line before getting hurt, but at least Tre Jones and Jalen Smith dominated in their fill-in roles, and it's time for us to get fat with some burgers.

Tobias Harris getting hurt wouldn't normally be a big deal, but unleashing Isaiah Stewart might be! Jake LaRavia is on a steals binge with Rui Hachimura out, and suddenly a Tuesday that seemed quiet enough churned out a pair of sexy new adds!

Arguably the worst injury day of the season happened on a sad, sad Monday, as we lost Jokic, Giddey, Coby White, plus smaller dings to relevant players. Who steps up? Should we blow roster moves in advance?
