Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wired: Silly Season edition

[ad_1]

We’re changing up the format for this column. Normally, we’ll compare who’s “tired” and who’s “wired”, but at this point of the year, things are very different. We can usually base where a player is tired or wired by how many leagues they’re rostered in, but that number isn’t going to be super accurate at this point of the season. Some leagues have been wrapped up for a couple of weeks or have been inactive for longer than that. For the leagues that are still active, players are rostered by teams that have been eliminated. For example, LaMelo Ball is still rostered in 82% of leagues. Teams that drafted him early probably didn’t have much success (Shoutout to you if you did!).

So, we’ll first look at some specific pickups, which will be your classic waiver wire targets, as well as some “wired” teams. Then, we’ll look at a few different sections of “tired” players and teams. It will look different, but we have to adjust to the silliness of the end of the season.

If you’re looking ahead to next week, there are no games on Monday or Saturday, but there are 15 games on Friday and Sunday, as well as 14 on Tuesday. There are only five games on Thursday, which makes it the best day for streaming.

If your league is done for the year, and you’re trying to look ahead to next season, just remember that it truly is Silly Season. A lot of the big performances over the next week will not translate to next season. The main takeaways will be from rookies that haven’t seen the floor much this season.

Wired Players:

Malaki Branham

Branham has started San Antonio’s last two games and has averaged 18.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 triples per game. With Devin Vassell done for the season, Branham should start during their final six games.

Tristan Vukcevic

Vukcevic moved into the starting unit for their last game and had 15 points, three rebounds and three triples in 21 minutes despite dealing with foul trouble early. He played 31 minutes in their previous game and had 14 points, seven rebounds and three assists. Marvin Bagley is considered “week-to-week” and could certainly be…
