5 Fantasy Basketball Players to Add, Drop, Buy Low, Sell High, and Watch (FSFP #026‪)‬ Flashy Stats Fantasy Podcast

Welcome to the newest segment for the Flashy Stats Fantasy podcast - the (biweekly? monthly? too soon to say) 5x5. In this episode, we debate and discuss 25 players - 5 players to add and drop from waivers, target for low value in trades or sell high on while their value is up, and 5 to look out for - at this point in the 2020-21 NBA and fantasy basketball season. By the way, kudos to you if you can name the last NBA player to get a 5x5 in an NBA game, or even 2 out of the last 5 players - they're rarer than you think! I'll tell you what's not rare though is this episode. It's cooked through with hot takes, both those where we double down on previous claims and others where we talk about new players you may not have thought about for your fantasy basketball team. All in all, this was a really fun episode to record, and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do!

Also, it needs to be noted that this episode was recorded almost two weeks ago, when we were only 7 days in to the fantasy season. We haven't been able to get it out to you until today, so some of the takes may not be valuable at this point - for example, we tell you to pick up Boucher off waivers, but he's now the number 1 ranked power forward in ESPN owned in 90% of leagues, and we said that Cole Anthony is a must-add when Markelle Fultz got injured - but we still thought that this was a fun and entertaining episode with some good options for players to keep an eye on. Obviously, a lot of these players' values changed with both the James Harden trade to the Nets that sent Levert to the Pacers, Jarrett Allen to the Cavs, and Oladipo to the Rockets, as well as various injuries that players have picked up (you'll see what I mean when you listen), so make sure to keep in mind that when we said to drop Deandre Jordan, that was before Jarrett Allen left the team!

In our upcoming episode, we will be doing a revised and shortened version of the 5x5 as well as talking about the latest NBA trades and injuries, so stay tuned for that, but until then, here are 25 players to check out in fantasy basketball right now:
