High Score reshapes weekly fantasy basketball by rewarding big weekly ceilings in assists and steals with minimal turnovers. Five sleepers outside the top 100 ADP stand out: Kevin Porter Jr., Reed Sheppard, Jaden Ivey, Stephon Castle and Isaiah Collier, each equipped for spike weeks with 30+ minutes and heavy usage.

Additional upside comes from Kyshawn George, Dennis Schröder, Ayo Dosunmu, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Davion Mitchell, who bring late-round dart throws in punt-turnover builds. Together they map a flexible strategy for weekly winners in 2025-26.

Bruce Pearl's retirement drew praise from Jabari Smith Jr., who credited Pearl with transforming his game and Auburn's program. Smith called Pearl a legend and a great person, and expressed happiness for him and his family as Pearl steps away.

The piece highlights Pearl's impact on recruiting and player development, including four Tigers who became first-round picks. It notes Smith's leap to the NBA with Houston, signaling Pearl's lasting influence as Auburn's program moves forward.

Heat navigate payroll constraints as Herro rehabs, eight weeks out, forcing internal depth to carry the early load. No luxury-tax salvo forthcoming, so camp starts Sept. 30 with the current roster and a broader idea of rotation in mind.

Norman Powell anchors early offense; Davion Mitchell and Pelle Larsson compete for guard minutes; Dru Smith steps up as a backcourt option; Jaquez Jr. and Rozier earn chances, while Jakucionis, Wiggins, Jovic and Fontecchio add scoring and shooting to bridge the gap.

The Miami Heat have made strides this offseason, parting ways with Kevin Love and Duncan Robinson while securing the formidable Norman Powell, who showcased All-Star potential last season. Bam Adebayo is optimistic about the new dynamics Powell brings, emphasizing the need for improved offensive consistency, particularly from key players like Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins. With a down Eastern Conference ahead, Miami aims to bounce back from the previous season's challenges, including a disheartening 0-4 playoff exit.

Adebayo's sentiments reflect a broader hope within the team. He highlighted the significance of Davion Mitchell's on-ball defensive capabilities and the importance of team chemistry, which was previously lacking. The Heat’s summer signings and injury recoveries could pave the way for a successful campaign, potentially reviving their postseason fortunes.
