Josh Lloyd of Basketball Monster and Locked on Fantasy Basketball podcast joins to discuss how he created his podcast as an independent and what his process is for keeping up with the league. We also discuss whether a reduction in the schedule could help fantasy basketball.

 

Then we get into some interesting questions on players returning from injury.  How will the returns of Deandre Ayton, De’Aaron Fox, Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert, John Collins, and Zion Williamson affect their teams.  We also discuss the recent news that the Pelicans are open to trading Jrue Holiday and what a return for him might be.
