Cooper Flagg Cooks, Anthony Davis Breaks (?) | Thursday Fantasy Basketball Recap

NBA fantasy managers scramble for streaming solutions as injuries reshape Week 12’s landscape. With 10 games on Sunday and critical back-to-backs for Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Sacramento, and Toronto, lineup planning takes center stage. Which surprise performers and last-minute replacements could tip weekly matchups? Must-roster names like Anthony Black, Peyton Watson, Jabari Smith, and De'Anthony Melton emerge, while the absence of stars including Joel Embiid, Franz Wagner, and Alperen Sengun opens the door for deep waiver pickups such as Sandro Mamukelashvili, Danny Wolf, and Mitch Robinson.Josh Lloyd gives actionable streaming advice by category—highlighting top options for points, assists, rebounds, steals, and field goal percentage, alongside hot takes on polarizing pickups like Moe Wagner and strategizing for the backcourt chaos in Washington. Position battles, guard vs. big builds, and the unpredictability of NBA rotations keep fantasy players guessing. Which waiver wire gems will decide who tops the standings as Week 12 concludes? Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
