Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Tips
Identifying Valuable Additions
As the fantasy basketball season progresses, injuries can lead to unexpected opportunities. The waiver wire provides a chance for managers to discover players who can turn the tide for their teams. This week, several players stand out as potential pickups worth considering for your fantasy roster.
A.J. Lawson Steps Up
From the Toronto Raptors, A.J. Lawson is an intriguing option. He had a breakout performance with 32 points and 12 rebounds in a recent game, displaying significant scoring ability. Given the Raptors' current strategy of prioritizing younger players, Lawson could see ample playing time as the season unfolds.
Rookies Making Moves
Miami's Orlando Robinson also warrants attention. Filling in for a resting teammate, Robinson recorded a solid double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. His increased role could continue, especially as the organization considers their future prospects.
Fun Factor with Grimes and Butler
Quentin Grimes from the Philadelphia 76ers is another player who has been performing effectively, recently scoring 35 points along with significant contributions elsewhere. His increasing prominence in the team's offensive plans makes him a strong candidate to add to your roster.
Additionally, Jared Butler contributed solid numbers in his recent start. With his emerging role in the lineup and consistent scoring ability, Butler looks poised to make a substantial impact in upcoming weeks.
Take Advantage of Opportunity
Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent from the Los Angeles Lakers are both capitalizing on their starting roles, particularly in light of injuries affecting the coaching lineup. Both players are showing potential for consistent double-digit scoring, which could be beneficial in the ongoing weeks.
Brooklyn's Game Advantage
Keon Johnson from the Brooklyn Nets could be valuable this week, as the team has five games scheduled. His recent performance indicates that he can deliver solid production, primarily through increased playing time ridden with player injuries on the team. Likewise, defensive standout Kyshawn George from the Washington Wizards is also worth considering due to his high-block performances, notwithstanding variable scoring output.
Looking Ahead
As the season unfolds, it is essential to keep an eye on how injuries will shape team dynamics. Upcoming matchups and the number of games each team has in the week can provide critical insights into which players may become impactful additions to your fantasy lineup.
