Breakdown of Games (MANILA TIME)
NOVEMBER 8-14
QUALITY GAME DAYS
As you can see with the breakdown of games, there are lots of games this week even if the NBA takes Wednesday off. The Tues/Thurs days are full slates where almost all your players will be playing. There is technically only one QD this week- Friday (Manila Time).
My suggestion for this week is to concentrate on the last 4 days. That’s where the streaming starts, although the last 3 days are not technically QDs, the number of games are at the middle level, so you might find your rosters not full on those days.
Back-to-Back Games
Looking at B2Bs, it’s also light this week because of the way the schedule is. There are 3 days with no B2Bs which is good news for players being load managed, injury managed like babies this season. For rests, I think the players most in danger is Mike Conley of Utah as expected, and we can’t discount players like Zion Williamson or even Terry Rozier/LaMelo Ball to rest if ever they are back already next week.

PHILADELPHIA- 3 GAMES IN LAST 4 DAYS
Streaming strategy this week centers on the last 4 days, and Philly has 3 games on those. Games are pretty good too against ATL, ATL and then Utah. With James Harden out and Joel Embiid possibly missing a B2B game, there will be opportunities for streaming here.
TARGETS- Right now, Danuel House and Shake Milton are getting the remainder of guard minutes so I’d consider them and if ever Embiid rests, Montrezl Harrell might get the spot start.
WASHINGTON- 3 GAMES IN LAST 4 DAYS
The Wizards are the only other team with the same schedule as Philly. They also have juicy matchups vs CHA, DAL, UTA, MEM. 3 of those games are against fast paced teams.
TARGETS- I would look at Will Barton first and then Deni Avdija/Rui Hachimura combo. Daniel Gafford also gets a look though his stats are only for rebounds/blocks.

Worst Defensive Ratings - Teams
Fastest Offensive Pace - Teams
Not surprising to see some teams here like Memphis, Charlotte, Houston and the Spurs. They have been good fantasy matchups this year. Some surprises are Brooklyn being the worst team in terms of defensive rating and also the Lakers being the fastest paced team.
