Waiver Wire Options

Los Angeles Clippers’ Bones Hyland, owned in 6% of leagues, made a rare start and recorded 37 points, nine assists, four rebounds and three steals across 43 minutes.

Hyland sometimes doesn’t even play for the Clippers, but started with several players out. Los Angeles is locked into a playoff matchup already, so it’s possible the team will rest more players in the final two games. Keep an eye out for that news and stream Hyland accordingly.

Charlotte Hornets’ Tre Mann, rostered in 40% of leagues, tallied 16 points, seven assists and steals and three rebounds across 37 minutes.

Mann has consistently played over 30 minutes over the past several games for the team, and is putting up great statlines in pretty much every contest. That makes him a decent streaming option in standard leagues and a good option in deeper leagues.

Memphis Grizzlies’ Jake LaRavia, owned in 32% of leagues, went for 32 points, seven rebounds, two steals and one assist and block across 40 minutes.

LaRavia hadn’t scored over 12 points over the previous four contests, so the 32-point showing was kind of out of nowhere. He’s started the past two games and played over 34 minutes in each. It’s hard to predict who will star each night for the Grizzlies, but LaRavia has just as good a chance as anyone down the stretch.

Phoenix Suns’ Royce O'Neale makes this list again after another solid outing. O'Neale, owned in 25% of leagues, tallied 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block across 33 minutes.

He’s combined for 25 points over the past two games and stuffed the stat sheet well in both contests. I’m not totally confident in him, but he’s a deep league streaming option for at least the team’s next game.

Memphis’ Lamar Stevens, rostered in 5% of leagues, started and played 37 minutes, tallying 16 points, six rebounds, four blocks, three assists and one steal.

Stevens has seen his minutes increase in each of the past five contests. He’s upped his scoring each game, and stuffed the stat sheet pretty well, the past three games especially. Stevens is another deep league streaming option for the next game.

San Antonio Spurs’ Tre Jones, owned in 88% of leagues, went for 13 points, seven assists, six rebounds, three steals and one block across 28 minutes.

Jones played his least amount of minutes in the past five games, but still was able to stuff the stat sheet. He’s a good waiver wire addition in standard leagues for the team’s final two games.

Clippers’ Brandon Boston Jr., rostered in barely any leagues, recorded 23 points, seven rebounds, two assists and steals and one block across 40 minutes off the bench.

Boston took advantage of several key rotation players being out, and could be an intriguing streaming option in deeper leagues if those players remain out for upcoming games.

San Antonio’s Zach Collins, owned in 34% of leagues, finished with 20 points, seven rebounds, two assists and blocks and one steal across 26 minutes.

Victor Wembanyama didn’t play, so that helped Collins play more and be more efficient as a fantasy player. If he’s out again in an upcoming game, Collins could be a deep league streaming option, otherwise I’d look elsewhere for fantasy help.

Memphis’ Scotty Pippen Jr., owned in 30% of leagues, totaled 18 points, six assists, four rebounds and two steals across 36 minutes.

Pippen continues to be a solid fantasy asset, and should be for the final couple games of the season. That makes him an option in deep leagues, if he’s still available.

Milwaukee Bucks’ Patrick Beverley, rostered in 5% of leagues, posted 13 points, eight rebounds, six assists and one steal across 30 minutes. 

Beverly has started four straight games, scoring in double figures in three of them. He’s got 18 rebounds and nine assists across the past two contests, and is a sneaky good fantasy option for the team’s final couple games. Even if Khris Middleton returns to the court, Giannis Antetokounmpo is out until the playoffs, so that will allow Beverley to be more involved offensively.

Clippers’ Mason Plumlee, owned in 6% of leagues, finished the night with 12 points and rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes.

Plumlee hasn’t been playing enough most nights to be a good fantasy asset, but with several teammates out, he can be a decent fantasy asset. Keep that in mind if several of his teammates are out in another regular season game and utilize Plumlee in deeper formats.

Miami Heat’s Caleb Martin, rostered in 45% of leagues, had 14 points, six assists, four rebounds and one steal and block across 38 minutes played.

Martin got back in double figures after going scoreless in the team’s previous game. He’s an option in deeper leagues, but hard to trust after what he’s produced of late.

Orlando Magic’s Cole Anthony, rostered in 55% of leagues, ended the night with 23 points, four rebounds and assists and one block across 33 minutes off the bench.

Anthony usually only plays 12-20 minutes a game, so it’s nice to see him play a good amount of minutes. He’s hard to trust given the inconsistency in minutes, but might be worth streaming in deeper leagues for the next game to see if he can keep things rolling.

Charlotte’s Grant Williams, owned in 43% of leagues, had 16 points, six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 27 minutes.

Williams has now scored in double figures in four straight contests, and filled out the stat sheet pretty well otherwise. He’s a good streaming option in deeper leagues, and could be used in a pinch in standard leagues.

Top Rookies

Brooklyn Nets’ Noah Clowney, rostered in 3% of leagues, tallied 10 points, seven blocks and rebounds and one assist and steal across 39 minutes.

Clowney has started and played over 35 minutes in two straight games. While he hasn’t scored a ton, he’s filled up the stat sheet fairly well, making him a decent deep league/dynasty option for the rest of the regular season.

Toronto Raptors’ Malik Williams, barely owned in any leagues, accumulated seven points, 14 rebounds, two steals and one assist across 24 minutes.

The rebounds are clearly the number to take notice of. If he can play that much the last couple games, Williams is a streaming option in really deep leagues/dynasties.

Toronto’s Gradey Dick, rostered in 19% of leagues, had 24 points and four rebounds across 34 minutes.

Dick continues to score in double figures, but not provide much else on the court. His scoring alone is good enough to consider him in deep leagues and dynasties though.

Memphis’ GG Jackson II, owned in 53% of leagues, went for 22 points, two rebounds assists and steals and one block across 36 minutes.

Much like Dick, Jackson provides most of his fantasy numbers in his scoring. He’s playing enough minutes and scoring enough to play in deeper leagues and dynasties. I’d try to avoid him in standard leagues though.
