Wednesday's Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Options: Saddiq Bey, Dylan Harper, T.J. McConnell and More

Let's go over a second round of fantasy basketball waiver wire options for the sixth week of the NBA regular season.

Here is the story we did on Monday. Also be sure to check out Wednesday's streaming story.

Check out fantasy basketball waiver wire options on FantasySP all season long!

Should You Add Saddiq Bey?

Bey has been added in 13.37% of leagues, bringing his overall mark to 44.44%.

Bey has been great over his past two games, combining for 38 points, 24 rebounds, eight assists and three steals. He started both of those contests, playing nearly 28 minutes and then 34 minutes.

Over 17 games (nine starts) this season, Bey is averaging 12.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.9 steals over 26.9 minutes. He is shooting 42.2% overall and is 35.6% from 3-point land.

New Orleans is without a few players, most notably Herbert Jones, Jordan Poole and Dejounte Murray, which is opening some minutes and a bigger role for Bey. He's taken advantage of things, and is a pretty solid fantasy asset until the Pelicans are back at full health.

He's worth holding in deeper leagues until his role decreases. Bey will still be a decent hold in deeper leagues after the Pelicans are healthier, so don't immediately drop him in deeper leagues when the team gets one of Poole, Jones or Murray back.

I think Bey is also worth streaming in some standard leagues right now too. You can add and drop him until one of those players returns to the mix. I don't see Bey sticking as a standard league asset when the Pelicans are healthier though.

Should You Add Yves Missi?

Missi is rostered in 18.13% of leagues after a 7.96% increase today.

Missi is another Pelican who has stepped up of late, but he only has one good showing. In his last game, he provided 14 points and rebounds and three blocks over 29 minutes off the bench.

He's come off the bench for eight of his 13 games he's played in so far. Missi hasn't started since November 17, which was five games ago now.

Anyways, he's averaging 6.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and blocks and 0.2 steals over 19.5 minutes a game. He's shooting 57.6% overall.

Missi hasn't taken a step forward in his second NBA season, and he's actually regressed in most areas. The emergence of rookie Derik Queen has played a big role in that.

For the time being, Missi could be worth some deep-league streams though, as the production in his last game showed. It will likely just be a short-term add, but for those lacking big men, Missi could definitely fill a need.

Add or stream him for a bit, but be ready to move on from him after his role decreases. It'll be hard for him to consistently deliver if he's coming off the bench, as that's the role he looks destined to fill unless injuries hit.

Should You Add Dylan Harper?

Harper is up 6.65% and now is owned in 46.2% of leagues.

He has not played since November 2, but is nearing a return, so it makes sense to see him on the rise.

Harper has appeared in just six games, playing 141 minutes so far. He has 84 points, 24 rebounds, 23 assists and four steals while playing between 22-29 minutes most nights.

There's a chance Harper takes on more with Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle out of the mix right now. If the Spurs are at full health, then Harper is just a deep-league asset.

Harper is worth an add in deeper leagues right now, and could be worth streaming in standard leagues until Wemby and Castle are back in the picture.

He was doing enough early in the season to earn some standard league ownership, so definitely keep an eye on him if you don't want to add him today. I think you could miss out on him if you don't pounce today, so I'd stash him now if I could.

Should You Add Cam Spencer?

Spencer has been added in 5.62% of leagues - he's now rostered in 15.79% of leagues.

He has reached double figures in three of his past four games, so it's easy to see why he's trending up too. He is averaging 14.3 points, 4.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 0.5 steals over that short four-game stretch.

Overall in 18 games (one start), Spencer is averaging 9.9 points, 3.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 0.1 blocks over 20.1 minutes. He is shooting 44.1% overall and he's 43% on his triples.

Memphis has injuries all over its roster, so Spencer has been asked to do more of late. He's worth adding and holding in some deeper leagues, while being a streamer in even more deeper leagues until the Grizzlies get some other players back.

Spencer has had a pretty solid role all season, so he might be worth holding in all leagues in some deeper leagues. I don't see him getting into standard leagues unless several big-name players are dealing with extended absences. 

Definitely give him a look in deeper leagues for the time being though.

Should You Add T.J. McConnell?

McConnell is up 5.2% and sits at 36.84% overall now.

After a bit of a slow start to his season, McConnell is starting to settle in a bit for the Pacers. He's scored in double figures in three straight games, after combining for 26 points in his first four games.

In his seven games, he's played 110 minutes and posted 66 points, 26 assists, 14 rebounds and seven steals. McConnell is shooting 50.8% overall and is 41.7% from deep so far.

I thought he had a chance to be a sneaky good fantasy asset this season with Tyrese Haliburton out for the year, and he's starting to show a little something of late. It might not take long for him to be added in most deeper leagues, so if you are interested in him, hopefully you can make that move today.

There's a chance McConnell takes on more as the season moves along too, so don't write him off as a standard league asset. He's a good source of points and assists most nights, so anything he can chip in for rebounds, steals or blocks only adds to his fantasy value.

Should You Add Peyton Watson?

Watson has been added in 4.24%, which brings his overall mark to 58.48%.

He has started six straight games now, and been in double figures in three of the past four contests. Watson is averaging 16.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1 steal and block over 33.8 minutes in his starts.

He is averaging 9.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals and blocks over 25.6 minutes in his 17 games and seven starts overall this season. Watson is shooting 50.8% overall and is 40% on his 3-pointers.

Watson is playing enough to be a pretty solid fantasy asset. He might only be providing good/solid numbers for points and rebounds, but that's enough for ownership in all deeper leagues.

He is a streaming option in standard leagues for the time being too. His role should stick until Christian Braun, Aaron Gordon and Julian Strawther are back in the mix.

Watson is a guy who could remain a good deep-league option all season, so don't immediately drop him after Dever gets a bit healthier.
