Action Network fantasy basketball analysts Dan Titus and Adam Koffler recap some notable things that happened in the last week and take a look ahead to Week 9 and beyond. In this week’s episode, Titus and Koffler talk about a couple guys that have seen a recent uptick in assist numbers with ball-dominant teammates out of the lineup. With LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier set to come off the COVID-19 list, is now the time to sell-high on Kelly Oubre Jr., or can he continue his stretch of dominant performances? And what about the Martin twins? They've been cookin’ of late, but now Caleb finds himself on the COVID-19 list as well. The guys discuss both short and long-term adds and tell you why Alvin Gentry has been a revelation for a number of Kings, including Terence Davis and Marvin Bagley. And with Damian Lillard and C.J.

Friday Happy Hour: Escalator Props
A quarter of the way into the NBA season, Action Network analysts Brandon Anderson and Joe Dellera discuss some of the NBA prop angles they’ve been smashing lately with success. They go into the nitty gritty of how they choose which props to play every day, which stats and players to target, and what specific opportunities to look for. The guys also introduce a new idea: Escalator Props. Sometimes you look at a prop line and think if this guy goes over, he’ll go way over — so how do we profit from that? Rather than guessing a number and trying to pick the perfect alternate line, Escalator Props are a way to hit multiple lines on the way up with varying bet sizes in hopes of a bigger and better payout.Brandon and Joe explain and talk props strategy from every angle. If you're into NBA props, this is an episode you won't want to miss!And if you play Fantasy Basketball, tune into the Week 8 Lookahead with Action Network analysts Dan Titus and Adam Koffler dropping on Monday.
