Tuesday Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire: Four Players to Consider

Let's go over our second round of fantasy basketball waiver wire adds of the week!

Toronto's Collin Murray-Boyles is the top add again today, but after covering him in yesterday's article, we will discuss some different options instead.

Let's talk about Denver's Zeke Nnaji, Sacramento's Malik Monk, Chicago's Ayo Dosunmu and Brooklyn's Day'Ron Sharpe instead.

Also be sure to check out Tuesday's streaming article.

Zeke Nnaji: Minutes Rising, Production Following

Nnaji has been added in 9.02% of fantasy basketball leagues today. He's sitting at 24.36% overall now.

Nnaji has taken on more since the injury to Nikola Jokic. Denver is also without Jonas Valanciunas, opening a big opportunity for Nnaji to shine.

Among some other Nuggets listed as out for Tuesday's game are Christian Braun and Cameron Johnson, while Aaron Gordon, Spencer Jones and Jamal Murray are either questionable or probable. The more Nuggets that are out, the better the fantasy outlook will be for Nnaji.

Nnaji started playing more at the start of this month. In six games, he's averaging 24.7 minutes, along with 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and steals and 1 assist. He's shooting 55.8% overall and he's 43.8% from 3-point land.

For the season, he's averaging just 11.9 minutes a game, so you can directly see the big increase in playing time with Jokic and Valanciunas out. Nnaji has pretty solid numbers, so he's worth streaming in some leagues, while holding in others.

He deserves to be added and held in really deep leagues at this point. He's a streaming option in even more deeper leagues.

Nnaji might not ever get into standard league value, but at least keep him in mind until Jokic and/or Valanciunas return to the mix. Utilize Nnaji in deeper leagues for the time being.

Malik Monk: Instant Offense Worth a Waiver Add

Monk is up 5.21% and sits at 38.61% overall.

He's turned things up a notch offensively of late. Monk missed three games in a row near the start of this month, then scored just eight points in his return. He had 15 points in the game after that, and is coming off a 26-point outing.

Monk's playing time has grown in a big way over those three contests, starting at 19 minutes, then jumping to 26 and finally 31 in his last appearance.

He has added a bit more than just points for fantasy value too. Monk has seven rebounds, 12 assists and one steal and block over those three games.

For the season, he is averaging 11.9 points, 2.4 assists, 2 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks over 21.9 minutes a game. He's come off the bench for all 32 contests, and is shooting 43.8% overall and 42.3% from deep.

So it appears that he's playing a bit above his season averages of late, making this more a time to stream him than to look at him as a long-term fantasy asset. Coming off the bench makes him a riskier fantasy option, and until that changes, his fantasy outlook is at least limited.

He's done more in his past, but has taken on a lesser role so far. Things could change if Sacramento alters its roster, and Monk is a possible trade asset himself.

For now, he has deep-league fantasy appeal, and could even sneak into standard leagues if he keeps scoring it well. He's worth holding in really deep leagues, and is also worth holding in deeper leagues for as long as he's producing solid numbers.

Ayo Dosunmu: Steady Minutes, Sneaky Category Juice

Dosunmu is rostered in 71.88% of leagues after a 4.68% boost up so far.

Dosunmu has settled into a nice groove himself over the last several Chicago games. He's scored in double figures in eight straight, averaging 15.6 points, 5 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1 steal and 0.4 blocks over 26.5 minutes a night. 

Dosunmu has come off the bench for all those games, so again, there's some risk involved in his fantasy outlook. He's played at least 21 minutes in all those games though, topping out at 31 minutes, so he's playing enough every night to make a fantasy difference.

Add in that he's not just scoring, and can provide fantasy owners with rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, and Dosunmu is a pretty solid fantasy piece.

Dosunmu is a very good deep-league option, and should probably remain rostered by all those leagues for the remainder of the season. Averaging 14.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks over 26.2 minutes for the season, there's enough there for at least that much fantasy ownership.

When he's in grooves like he is now, he's a standard league option. I like him as a streaming asset, while also being worth holding for weeks where he has several games, or if you simply have a need for a guard.

Take advantage of things while Dosunmu is hot, and feel free to keep rostering him until his numbers start fading.

Day'Ron Sharpe: Rebounding Specialist with Streaming Appeal

Sharpe is up 4.64% and is owned in 33.07% overall. 

He started three games earlier this month, logging 29 or 32 minutes in those contests. Sharpe has come off the bench for the last three Nets' games, but has rebounded well to remain a good fantasy asset.

In those three starts this month, he averaged 12 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4 assists, 2.3 steals and 1 block over 30.7 minutes a night. In the last three games off the bench, he's averaging 9.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.7 blocks and steals over 20.3 minutes.

We all wish he was playing more, but on points and rebounds alone, Sharpe still has some fantasy value to take advantage of. 

Across 36 games overall, Sharpe has produced two double-doubles. He's reached at least 10 rebounds four times, while having four or less just 11 times. Sharpe has scored in double figures on just 11 occasions.

With some assists, steals and blocks sprinkled in, Sharpe is actually a sneaky-good fantasy asset, but more so in deeper leagues. Especially as he comes off the bench, I'd only want to roster/utilize Sharpe in deeper setups. There have to be some standard league options out there that have better daily fantasy outlooks.

In deeper leagues, I think Sharpe could be worth streaming or holding, depending on how deep the league is. His big rebounding numbers of late make him an appealing forward/center to try for the time being.

Feel free to stream him in deeper setups, and hold him until his numbers start to fade. At least consider him in deeper leagues, as he's maybe outproducing some of the players near the end of your bench.
