Jabari Smith's Big Night, Dejounte Murray Set To Return | Monday Fantasy Basketball Recap

Dejounte Murray returns to a crowded New Orleans Pelicans backcourt, but will his limited minutes and shaky shooting be worth a roster spot as fantasy playoffs loom? Josh Lloyd unpacks the Pelicans’ puzzling rotation decisions, Houston Rockets’ Jabari Smith’s explosive night (31 points, 9 rebounds, 6 threes, 3 steals, 3 blocks), and Victor Wembanyama’s dominance with 21 points, 17 rebounds, and 6 blocks for the San Antonio Spurs. Key discussions include must-add and drop candidates like Olivie- Maxence Prosper, Precious Achiuwa, and Kyle Filipowski; the frustrating volatility of Grizzlies’ and Jazz assets; and why Malik Monk and Royce O'Neale may be fool’s gold for fantasy managers. With 11 NBA games on the horizon, get the latest waiver, schedule, and injury updates to keep your fantasy basketball squad ahead of the curve.
