Draft Season subscribers will still have access to all the Draft Season content (all the content under the Draft Guide tab).

Week 5 comes with a fairly clean schedule. We will need to work around the 12-game Wednesday slate, but unless you are heavy on Hornets, there isn’t much to complain about. There are back-to-back sets starting on every day of the week except for Thursday and plenty of three-games-in-four-nights stretches. Putting together solid streaming plans will be easier than usual next week. If you haven’t already, check out the Streaming Optimizer. It will provide you with streaming plans for the week based on your opponent and the categories that are projected to be toss-ups. It’s worth using all week long but will be especially valuable early in the week, when you have all of your moves available.

After Week 5 wraps up, we will enter one of the messier stretches of the season. Thanks to the NBA Cup and the holidays, every week until January will come with a less-than-ideal schedule. The first double week of the year is coming up in Week 7, and the rest of the pre-2027 weeks have unbalanced schedules. In December, there will be plenty of very busy days and very quiet days, which will make streaming very difficult and lead to some tough start/sit decisions.
