Let's take a look at Monday. There are nine games on in the NBA. There's interesting things always happening. Who are the players that are going to stand out for streaming? How do we attack the beginning of the week? Is it with Michael Bolton?

Thanks, Josh. It's Michael Bolton here. And it's time for another episode of the locked-on fantasy basketball podcast. Let's get to it. Let's get to it. Indeed.

All right, we are here looking ahead to Monday.

Just as I'm hitting the record on this, we did get some news from the Utah Jazzmen that Walker Kessler has returned home for further testing on his shoulder. Bad news. Bad news. Like really bad news. He was obviously starting to play well. Last game was not good. He heard it in that game. They are going to be bad. They will be bad. And they will be very cautious about Walker Kessler. Yusuf Nurkich is getting the start on Sunday, so I'm just going to put that out right now.

Just go and add Yusuf Nerkich. There's a lot of ways they can go. They can put Markin at the 4 and play Ace Bailey in the starting lineup. They can play Kyle Anderson. They can play Kyle Philopowski, a lot of Kyle's. They can play Taylor Hendricks. there's a lot they can play bloody Kevin Love who's probably going to have to play unless they go small ball with Anderson at the 5, or they play Hendrix at the 5. Or actually, Philip-Po... There's a lot. One of the things in the front court of this team in the off-season was like, there's so many bloody guys here. How does Philipowski and Hendrix play enough? What do they do with Kessler? What happens at Nerkich? Now is the chance,

even though it's still crowded. So Nerkich is your guy to go and grab. It's like it's 2021 all over again. So just giving you that update right now to kick things off or some would say

tip things off because we're talking basketball. Let's have a look at what are three big storylines to pay attention to for Monday when there are nine games on

across, let's get wanky here, across the association. What are the three big storylines we want to

look at here? Quentin Jackson, realistically, because I know that people are running to add him.

I do believe that he will start for the paces, but will we continue to get big numbers?

I don't know.

I don't know.

But we want to see it, don't we?

Morant is going to return.

He's not going to play Sunday.
