Top Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for the Week

As the NBA season winds down, teams are starting to make some interesting lineup decisions. With Boston already clinching the best record in the league, they have been resting players and cycling guys in and out of the lineup. Other teams, like Detroit and Memphis, have had key players missing from their roster, leading to some unexpected performances from lesser-known players.

With only five games scheduled for Thursday night, the Atlanta Hawks are the only team playing the second night of a back-to-back. This means that some players who may not have been on your radar could be solid options for the rest of the week.

One player to keep an eye on is Tristan Vukcevic, who got his first career start for the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday and put up an impressive performance despite dealing with foul trouble. With Marvin Bagley sidelined, Vukcevic should continue to see significant playing time for the rest of the season.

Another player worth considering is Dyson Daniels, who has been playing well for the Indiana Pacers after being out for nearly two months. He has been contributing across the board and could be a valuable addition to your fantasy team.

Malachi Flynn, who recently dropped 50 points in a game, is another player to consider picking up. While he may not replicate that performance every night, he has shown flashes of potential and could be a valuable asset moving forward.

Jabari Walker, Grant Williams, Aaron Wiggins, Jalen Smith, Noah Clowney, and Jordan Nwora are also players to keep an eye on as the season comes to a close. With injuries and rest days becoming more common, these players could provide a much-needed boost to your fantasy team in the final stretch of the season.
