SG Malik Beasley is a top waiver add
Malik Beasley went off against the Houston Rockets on Friday night with 35 points, 3 assists, and two rebounds while shooting 70% from the field.
Beasley was starting over the injured Gary Harris, which would help explain the huge night of 35 points and 41 minutes. Both of these are season highs for Beasley.
Gary Harris has missed a total of 17 games from December up until today due to hip and hamstring injuries. Needless to say, owning Beasley would be a great backup plan for Harris owners, especially since he has missed so many games lately.
Beasley has been extremely efficient in scoring by shooting 50% or above in his last ten games (aside from his Jan 23rd appearance).
Beasley won't exactly stuff the statsheet in any category other than points, field goal percentage, and free throw percentage. However he is a great start for points leagues and could be logging additional minutes moving forward, even if Harris remains healthy.
Beasley is currently owned in 52% of leagues and is definitely worth a look in all formats.
