ESPN’s fantasy basketball daily cheat sheet serves as your pregame guide for setting your lineups for the evening’s games. This resource includes our top tips, player streaming options, and injury updates game by game.
What to Know for Monday’s Games
On this final Monday before the All-Star Break, the NBA features ten games. The league is still adjusting after recent trades, and with the All-Star Break approaching, several players might be resting or reducing minutes in anticipation of recovery time. Injuries that players might normally push through could lead to more sit-outs as teams manage their rosters similar to how they might before playoffs.
This situation opens up chances for players in new roles to showcase their skills, or for healthy players to exceed their usual performance levels. With 20 out of 30 teams in action Monday, there are ample opportunities for standout performances.
As is customary, we will analyze matchups to highlight fantasy streamers, betting strategies, and DFS options worth considering for tonight’s games.
