Check back throughout the week for even more fantasy basketball coverage.

Ty Jerome: Back and Rising Fast

Jerome is the big fantasy basketball waiver wire pickup today. He's up a whopping 33.01% and now sits at 71.59% overall.

Jerome finally got on the court in the last game for Memphis. He missed every other game so far this season.

In his first game back, Jerome started and played about 20 minutes. He delivered 20 points, six assists, one rebound and one steal. Jerome made half of his 12 field goal attempts, including two of his seven 3-pointers. He was 6-of-7 at the free-throw line.

Memphis is dealing with a number of injuries, so Jerome could deliver big right away. He was great in his first contest, which is why he's rising so fast today. Once he starts playing more minutes, Jerome could really become a great fantasy piece.

He's already blown past being a deep-league pickup - stop reading this and add him if he's still available in a deeper league. Jerome is a standard league streaming add, and I think he should be held in standard leagues until his production fades.

There's a chance Jerome's production doesn't fall off, so I'd be happy to add Jerome in a standard league today. Don't wait too long to add him, otherwise he might be scooped up in all leagues.

Pelle Larsson: Excelling of Late

Larsson is owned in 52.66% of leagues after an 8.14% increase.

Larsson is on a heater (pun intended) of late. He has scored 15 or more points in three straight games. Larsson has scored in double figures in five of the past six contests, and eight of the past 10.

He's averaging 14.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.2 blocks over 28.7 minutes a game over the past 10 contests. Larsson is shooting 57% overall in that stretch, plus 37.5% from deep.

Larsson isn't going to stay that hot forever, but while he's in this groove, he's worth more fantasy action. He's a very good deep-league asset right now, and should be streamed/held until he cools off.

He's done enough of late to even be a standard league streaming option. Larsson could be held until he cools off, but I don't see him being a long-term hold in standard leagues, but maybe he will prove me wrong.

Miami is missing a couple players of late, which is helping Larsson do more. Be ready to move off him after his production falls off, so he's really a player to keep tabs on daily.

He's doing enough for deep-league utilization though, so take advantage of his hot streak while you can.

Aaron Nesmith: Another Player Trending Up

Nesmith has been added in 6.63% of leagues, bringing his overall mark to 60.97%.

Nesmith is also on a heater of late. He has scored in double figures in four straight, tallying 14 or more points in each game and topping out at 23 points in his last game.

He's averaging 18 points, 3.5 assists, 3 rebounds and 0.3 steals and blocks over 33.3 minutes a night over those four games. Nesmith is shooting 59.1% overall in that stretch, plus 60% from deep.

Again, those shooting percentages are going to fall eventually, but they are making him a really good fantasy asset for the time being.

Nesmith is averaging 13.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.5 blocks over 30.6 minutes a night in his 28 games (25 starts) this season. He's shooting 38.3% overall and he's 36.9% from deep.

There's enough in his season averages to be a pretty good deep-league asset, but hold him back from being a standard league threat.

Right now, Nesmith is a standard league option as a streaming asset. I'd be fine holding him in those leagues until his production drops off from the past four games.

He's definitely worth utilizing in deeper leagues after looking at those recent marks, so give him and add and hold him for a little while.

I think Nesmith is a better deep-league asset, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be utilizing him in more leagues right now. Take advantage of his hot streak, but also be ready to move off him after his numbers dip again.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Taking Advantage of Opportunity

Oubre is rostered in 82.45% of leagues after a 5.97% increase.

Oubre is one of the Sixers expected to take on more with Paul George suspended for 25 games. He delivered more in the team's last game.

Across 30 minutes, Oubre provided 19 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. In the two games before that, Oubre had just 11 points, seven rebounds and one steal and block combined.

After the showing in his last game though, fantasy owners are willing to give Oubre a chance. He's starting and playing plenty of minutes, so he has a good fantasy outlook.

Oubre isn't going to be a super consistent fantasy asset, especially on a team with two studs and more scoring options, but Oubre can chip in enough here and there to be a sneaky-good asset.

Maybe his last game was the start of a hot stretch for Oubre. He should be added/streamed for the team's next game just in case that happens. If his production drops off, then he could be droppable again.

I think Oubre's fantasy outlook is pretty solid with George out of the picture. He's a better deep-league asset, but he's also a decent asset for a good amount of standard leagues. 

That doesn't mean you need to be starting him every time he plays, but in good matchups and when you have starting spots available, I like playing Oubre.

Marvin Bagley III: Back in Action and Delivering

Bagley has been added in 5.45% of leagues, which brings his overall mark to 18.24%.

Bagley missed the final five games in January, but was back for Washington's first game in February. He started and played under 19 minutes, but produced 15 points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal and block.

He got up eight shots in that game, making seven of them. He made his only 3-pointer and didn't get to the free-throw line.

Bagley is averaging 10.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.5 steals over 19.3 minutes a game. He's shooting 62.8% overall and is 42.1% on his 3-pointers (although he only averages 0.5 3-point attempts a game).

Bagley has had some nice stretches of fantasy production this season, but also has missed a fair share of games. That availability issue holds him back a bit as a fantasy asset.

When he's playing enough, Bagley can be a good fantasy asset, especially at positions where consistent production is tougher to find. He's most often playing below 20 minutes a game, but if he gets in a good groove, he could earn a couple more minutes.

Even if he's not reaching 20 minutes per game, he could be a good fantasy asset in deeper leagues, like he was for the last game he played. It would take a good stretch of play for him to get to standard league utilization, but that's not completely out of the question, so don't forget about him.
