Fantasy Basketball Mailbag | Brice Sensabaugh, Poeltl, Vucevic & More Feb 26, 2026

Show notes

Playoff chaos is brewing as key fantasy NBA decisions could make or break your season. Would you trade O.G. Anunoby and Dyson Daniels for Devin Booker? Josh Lloyd unpacks the hidden value in oft-overlooked players, debates the wisdom of streaming Mark Williams or Jakob Poeltl, and weighs the impact of injuries to stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Donovan Mitchell. With the NBA playoff schedule looming, every waiver move and trade carries extra risk.

Hot takes include the volatility of Bryce Sensabaugh, the tantalizing rise of Gui Santos, and whether it's ever truly “Mo Bamba time.” Plus, Josh Lloyd tackles tanking tactics, must-roster debates (is Nique Clifford for real?), and the fantasy futility of hoping for a Jayson Tatum explosion post-injury. Sharpen your strategy—surprise breakout candidates and controversial drops come under the microscope in this no-nonsense fantasy basketball mailbag.
