"We just had our first big trade of the NBA season, with Trae Young being sent from the Atlanta Hawks to the Washington Wizards in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert. The NBA Trade Deadline is less than a month away, and we will likely see a lot more trade action between now and then."
"Trades, like injuries and young player improvements, are a vehicle that can lead to new players getting more minutes than they were previously. So, the savvy fantasy manager needs to stay up on these types of big moves to see if their team can benefit."
"T.J. McConnell, PG, Indiana Pacers (38.6% rostered in ESPN leagues): McConnell has seen an uptick in minutes and responsibility with Bennedict Mathurin sidelined, and has responded by averaging 17.5 PPG, 7.5 APG and 2.5 SPG in his last two games. McConnell is a consistent contributor off the bench for the Pacers but, when called upon, he can ramp up to big numbers"
