𝑺𝘾𝑯𝙀𝑫𝙐𝑳𝙀 𝙉𝑶𝙏𝑬𝙎
-Week 1 means there is some variances in teams’ schedules so don’t overreact if you lose big or win big. This week only has 40 games total- that’s probably one of the fewest for the year. Luck will have a big factor in deciding fantasy match-ups this week.
-2 very lean Quality Days- WED and FRI (Manila Time) with just 2 games. It’s going to be very hard to find good streamers that you can add at the start of the week and roll with for the whole week 1.
-The last day has 6 games- pseudo Quality Day already and there are lots of teams with B2B sched going into week 2
-MIL and PHI do not have games in the first 2 days of the season so managers of Giannis and Embiid will be in a big disadvantage early. PHI does have 3 games in the last 4 days though so things will look up
B2B
-This is probably the week with least amount of B2Bs. There are no B2Bs in the first 4 days of the season.
-Teams of interest that have B2Bs at the latter part of the week are PHI-(Embiid), DET (Cade who is just returning from injury), MIA (Lowry/Butler), GSW (CP3, Klay, Dray), LAL (Lebron)

LAL is the best team to target for Week 1- they have 2 Quality Days (QDs) and also have a game on Judgment Day- the last day of the week that has only 6 games.
PHO is the only other team with 2 games on the Quality Days so they are another team to target.

Disregarding the first day, some teams have 3 games in the next 4 days (THURS-SUN)- CHI, CLE, DET, MEM, MIA, NYK, TOR, UTA
Then PHI (FRI-MON) goes next in the 3 games in 4 days bracket
Lastly, it's CHI, DEN, DET, GSW, MEM, MIL, OKC, POR, TOR, UTA (SAT-TUES of Week 2)
𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐆𝐄𝐓/𝐀𝐃𝐃 (𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝟑𝟎% 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐘𝐚𝐡𝐨𝐨)
Gabe Vincent- He will come off the bench but as far as streamers go this week, he could be a good pick. He is a solid pts/3s/assists boost this week
Santi Aldama- No more Adams so Xavier Tillman and Aldama will split majority of the center minutes. Tillman's not going to be available but Aldama might be in shallower formats. Stream him for week 1 and if does well, you may keep him until further notice.
Talen Horton Tucker- Started most of the games for Utah at PG so I will assume he does so in the regular season too. He is very inefficient player but can rack up counting stats. In his career, he has averaged 15P 4.4R 4.3A as a starter in 44 games.
Caleb Martin- I don't think Josh Richardson will be ready for week 1 and Miami isn't exactly a deep team so Caleb should get additional minutes and usage. He averaged 1.2 steals/ 1.0 3PTM in efficient shooting last season so give him a look.
Eric Gordon- Best guy in Phoenix to stream for 3s/points and a sprinkle of assists. The rotation in Phoenix is still in flux but Gordon and Grayson Allen are my best bets there
Drew Eubanks- Don't sleep on this guy- we know what he can do if given the minutes and at least for Week 1, he is worthy gamble for owners in need of big man stats
Jevon Carter/Alex Caruso- Bulls have a good string of games in the middle of this week. Carter was hyped early on as a possible starter but lost to Coby White but should still get solid bench minutes. (Safe to say, if Coby is available- he should be the priority add/stream)
Paul Reed is owned in 39% of leagues so he doesn't qualify technically here, but I'd put his name out here for shallower leagues- specially if Embiid rests a game this week
OTHERS- Marvin Bagley, Killian Hayes, Ziaire Williams, Chris Boucher
