Strategy Notes
Prioritize high-usage primary scorers. Day 2 format is 1 Primary + Alternate. Save elite options (Edwards, Mitchell, Shai, Jokic) if the contest allows later use, but don’t over-save if the field is thinning. Metrics are estimates based on early-season volume and matchup context. Always confirm latest injury status and lock times on Splash Sports.
