It's the locked on podcast network, your team every day.

It's been said that you should never say never but of course people say it all the time

Never eat 30 minutes before you swim never judge a book by its cover. Well another thing you should never do

Never be unsure of your insurance and State Farm helps you do just that. You can file a claim on the State Farm mobile app or simply call your agent so you're never left wondering things like what if my policy doesn't cover this or what if I need to make a claim in the middle of the night?

Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

Getting comfortable.

You are locked on fantasy basketball.

Your daily fantasy basketball podcast,

part of the locked on podcast network,

your team every day. Hello and welcome to the locked on fantasy basketball podcast brought to you by

Basketball Monster. My name is Josh Lloyd and I am the lead fantasy

basketball analyst at basketball monster.com and at Yahoo Sports Australia and you can find me on Twitter as always

at Red Rock underscore beable and on Instagram at locked on fantasy basketball today

we are helping you get ready for your fantasy basketball drafts if they haven't occurred already

This sort of ties into the show I did on Monday talking about how to draft and snake drafts and that's looking at the idea of statistical or categorical scarcity in your leagues which is again applicable to head to head leagues and to rodeo leagues anything that applies to categories this has no impact on points leagues where again you're just looking for the guy who's got to project

to score the most fantasy points per game. We're looking at categorical scarcity across the most common

standard categories in head-to-head and rodeo leagues Michael Bolton

let's get to it to it to talk about the categorical scarcity and

statistical scarcity across your general player pool for a standard draft I am

joined by basketball monster's own Matt Smith.

Matt, welcome back.

Josh, thank you for having me on and yeah this is one of my favorite fantasy basketball topics. So yeah, hopefully this will be a really informative podcast and we're diving deep into the strategy section of the fantasy basketball handbook so looking forward to it.
