    Abstract: The present disclosure discusses systems and methods to mitigate traffic spikes in retrieving secondary content items for display in concurrently streamed content streams. The system can pre-fetch secondary content items for the upcoming secondary content slots. To retrieve an appropriate content item, the system can predict the length of the secondary content slot. The system can use the predicted length of the secondary content slot to distribute the traffic spike over a larger span of time to mitigate the spike.
