This week, injuries are the story in the NBA. Chris Paul is on the shelf for 6-8 weeks following thumb surgery, and Rudy Gay is done for the year with a torn Achilles. Brutal news for each player and their teams — and, of course, for the fantasy community. On Thursday’s show, Andy Behrens and D.J. Trainor will help you sort through the replacement options.

Also on this week’s hoops pod, Andy and D.J. discuss their preferred All-Star starters, and they talk second-half expectations for Khris Middleton and Ben Simmons.

Trust the process, people. Listen right here.
