Fantasy Basketball Week 1: Waiver Wire, Who to Stream, and What to Watch
Episode 1477
NBA Fantasy Basketball Week 1 is here — and the schedule’s already tricky. Josh Lloyd breaks down the opening week, highlighting how to handle injuries, back-to-backs, and key streaming days.
He explains why Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder players are top streaming options, with both teams avoiding the crowded Wednesday and Friday slates. Josh also covers injury updates for LaMelo Ball, Ja Morant, and Jimmy Butler and how those ripple through your fantasy lineups.
Plus, how to balance early streaming aggression with long-term roster flexibility — and which players could become Week 1 waiver wire priorities.

Week 1 streaming targets
Schedule quirks and low-volume days
