Midweek Fantasy Basketball Adds: Waiver Wire Targets to Consider

Let's go over some fantasy basketball waiver wire options for Wednesday, April 1.

Here are waiver wire stories we did on Monday and Tuesday, but a streaming article for Wednesday.

Waiver wire options can be found all season on FantasySP!

Julian Champagnie - San Antonio Spurs

Champagnie is rostered in 45% of fantasy basketball leagues right now. He's slowly crept up over the past several days.

He has started for the Spurs most of the season and been a decent fantasy asset along the way. Champagnie has scored in double figures in three straight, and stuffed the stat sheet pretty well in that timeframe.

He's combined for 37 points, 20 rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block over those three contests. Champagnie has played between 23-28 minutes, so while he's starting, he's not playing a ton most nights.

San Antonio isn't dealing with too many injuries right now, so I wouldn't expect a big shift in role/production for Champagnie anytime soon. He's a good deep-league asset, and he could be a standard league streaming option, especially on lighter nights of NBA action.

Cody Williams - Utah Jazz

Williams sits near 40% owned right now, which is up from March 24 but down from March 19.

He's been up and down as a fantasy asset over the past four games. Williams has scored 26, 24 and 24 points in three of the contests, but failed to score in the other. He has 12 rebounds, 14 assists, seven steals and two blocks over that stretch, so it's pretty much scoring for his fantasy value.

He's playing a healthy role each night with so many teammates out with injuries. I don't see that changing the rest of the season, so he's going to remain a decent fantasy asset - now it all comes down to production.

He's delivered more often than he hasn't of late, so I like streaming Williams in deeper leagues. If he keeps delivering, he could sneak into standard leagues, but he's a player to watch every night he plays, so you know when he's worth adding/holding or dropping.

Dylan Harper - San Antonio Spurs

Harper sits near 57% owned right now. He has gone up about 4% since March 29.

He has been a pretty good fantasy asset this season for the Spurs. He has settled into a pretty consistent role, and has delivered consistently as well.

Harper has scored in double figures in five straight, but his best two scoring games were the first ones in that stretch. He has tallied 10, 14 and 13 points over the past three games. Harper has averaged 4 rebounds and assists, 0.4 steals and 0.8 blocks over 24.2 minutes in that five-game stretch.

There's enough there to roster and utilize him in deeper leagues, then consider him as a streamer in standard leagues when the NBA schedule is light. 

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Philadelphia 76ers

Oubre is trending back up after sitting near 45% rostered on March 24. He's at 54% rostered today.

He's back on the rise after missing a bunch of games in March. Oubre has 20 points, 16 rebounds, three assists and one steal in his two games since returning.

He's mostly on the rise after posting a double-double in his last outing. Importantly, he played nearly 31 minutes off the bench.

Philadelphia is finally healthy, so there's less production available. If guys like Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey or Paul George ever miss time going forward, then Oubre's fantasy value will shoot up.

As is, Oubre is worth adding in some deeper leagues today. He could even be a standard league streaming option in a pinch, or if the schedule is light. 

Tari Eason - Houston Rockets

Eason is up to 58% owned today. He was at 48% back on March 24, so he's steadily risen since.

He's trending up of late, and is coming off some pretty well-rounded efforts. Eason is on the rise as a result.

In his past three games, Eason has scored 17, 15 and 16 points. He has grabbed eight rebounds twice, and seven in the other contest. Eason also has combined for five assists, four steals and one block across those three contests.

Eason averages 10.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks per game on the season, so just that slight bump in scoring is enough to see his fantasy production increase.

He's worth roster spots and utilization in deeper fantasy leagues. With how he's going, Eason is also a standard league streaming option for the team's next game.

Houston isn't missing any notable players who haven't already been out for the season, so we'll see if Eason can stay hot down the stretch. Another positive is that he's played 29 or more minutes in two of his past three games, and he even started the last game - if that continues, his fantasy floor and ceiling rises a bit.
