导出博客文章Working the waiver wire is crucial to succeeding in fantasy basketball. With so
many games, injuries and endless shifts in rotations throughout the season, we
need to source stats from free agency to maximize our imaginary rosters.In this
weekly series, we identify players available in more than 40 percent of ESPN
leagues at each position. Some nominations are purely specialists capable of
helping in one or two categories, while others deliver more diverse and
important statistical offerings. Either way, we believe the names below --
ordered by ownership rate at each position -- can contribute positively to
fantasy rosters.Point guardIsh Smith, Detroit Pistons (Owned in 33.7 percent of
ESPN leagues): Coach Stan Van Gundy recently noted Reggie Jackson appears
tentative when cutting and is still a few weeks away from returning. This means
Smith, who is 12th in the league in drives per game, should continue to provide
helpful results in steals and assists as the teams interim starting point
guard.Sean Kilpatrick, Brooklyn Nets (28.5): On a team that ranks second in the
league in pace, Kilpatricks busy offensive role as the key scoring weapon from
the bench drives value, as he has scored in double figures in all but two games
and has recorded at least one steal in all but three outings.Tony Parker, San
Antonio Spurs (19.0): Over the past four games, Parker has averaged 26.4
minutes, 14.3 points and 5.8 assists while shooting 59 percent from the field.
With a 21.7 percent usage rate over this stretch, Parker is a worthy utility
asset or even starting point guard for those thin at the position.Shooting
guardWesley Matthews, Dallas Mavericks (49.3): Even as efficiency escapes his
production pattern so far, we value the sheer volume of Matthews offensive
opportunities. Over the past six games, for example, hes averaged 36.8 minutes,
1.7 steals and a whopping 8.2 3-point attempts. Matthews is shooting just 33.3
percent over this stretch, but this rare blend of opportunity beyond the arc and
rich steal production reveals a helpful fantasy pattern in leagues of 12 or more
teams at a shallow shooting guard position.Will Barton, Denver Nuggets (30.6):
We understand managers had to move on from Barton given his lengthy injury
absence, but now that hes nearing a return, its time to acquire Denvers top
shooting guard while the market is still undervaluing his potential. Barton
averaged 35.2 minutes over the first three games this season and produced
efficient offensive results. We can expect a heavy workload for Barton upon his
return, as hes among the teams best backcourt scoring options.Seth Curry, Dallas
Mavericks (12.9): With J.J. Barea sidelined for over a month due to a
significant calf injury, Curry earns a sizable uptick in minutes, touches and
offensive upside. Barea is 10th in drive and touches per game, so there is a
valuable void for usage left in his wake. Its encouraging to note that Curry has
averaged 33.1 minutes, 4.3 assists and 5.5 3-point attempts over the past six
games.James Ennis, Memphis Grizzlies (7.6): Having started 12 of 13 games, Ennis
is averaging 30.4 minutes, a steal and three 3-point attempts per game as a key
3-and-D performer for the Grizzlies found in a sizable majority of ESPN
leagues.Small forwardMichael Kidd-Gilchrist, Charlotte Hornets (44.2): Im
admittedly partial to players who provide above-average defensive production, as
steals and blocks prove so scarce and we can easily source points and rebounds
in working the wire. MKG remains a key target for me in shallower formats, as
hes widely available and averaging 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks. Some will balk at
his 8.5 points per game, but the value Kidd-Gilchrist provides in such rare
stats affords him unheralded value.Wilson Chandler, Denver Nuggets (40.0):
Despite coming off the bench, Chandler has averaged 30 minutes and a rich usage
rate of 25.5 over the past six games. Such steady opportunity has led to
Chandler averaging 20 points, 8.7 boards and 1.3 3-pointers over this stretch.
With such rich production, Chandler merits a far higher ownership rate for an
up-tempo offense that ranks seventh in the league in pace.Josh Richardson, Miami
Heat (12.8): With injuries to Goran Dragic and now Justise Winslow among the
teams rotation over the past few weeks, Richardson has earned encouraging
exposure to the tune of 31.3 minutes, 5.1 3-pointers and nearly a block and
steal per game over the past seven games. Richardson might lose some minutes
once the team is fully healthy, but his stellar rates suggest he could become a
fixture on a team in need of his offensive upside.Power forwardMaurice Harkless,
Portland Trail Blazers (30.7): As another 3-and-D asset who provides helpful
stats beyond simply scoring, Harkless has recorded a block in all but four games
this season and is enjoying an uptick on the glass of late.Terrence Jones, New
Orleans Pelicans (17.3): The Pelicans are eighth in pace and Jones is playing
nearly 30 minutes per night over the past two weeks. Jones has averaged 1.5
blocks and nearly a steal over this span, with helpful rebounding and scoring
rates complementing an underrated fantasy profile.Trey Lyles, Utah Jazz (9.6):
Over the past three games weve seen Lyles average 16.7 points and 28.5 minutes.
Its a small sample, but we need to act quickly when a young stretch big man like
Lyle assumes an uptick in usage and exposure. Lyles should see extended minutes
and shots with Derrick Favors injured, adding to his impressive and ascendant
fantasy stock.CenterClint Capela, Houston Rockets (52.3): Amid a breakout
stretch, Capela has averaged 13.6 points and 10.4 boards to go with 2.4 blocks.
As the key rim protector for the Rockets, Capela offers a high floor and coveted
upside.Nerlens Noel, Philadelphia 76ers (52.5): Speaking of defensive upside, no
player other than Noel has ever averaged 1.8 steals and 1.7 blocks through his
first two seasons. Adding to his rare defensive acumen, only David Robinson
posted a better defensive box plus-minus than Noel through two NBA seasons.
While the logjam for minutes in the Philly frontcourt isnt ideal, Noels
impending return and unique defensive prowess merit more attention.Cody Zeller,
Charlotte Hornets (16.6): While hes dealing with a minor shoulder injury, Zeller
is an interesting addition considering hes averaged nearly 26 minutes, 12.2
points and 1.2 blocks over the past five games -- all starts.
Phil Jones
England Jersey . Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday
nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury
pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the
backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a
change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the
field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his
first playoff game in 2006.
