Top Fantasy Basketball Pickups for Week 22: Jackson-Davis Shines, Suggs, Robinson, Bagley, Kispert, Ellis, Niang, Wallace, Joe, and Wiggins Stand Out

Golden State Warriors rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis stepped up in a big way on Friday, filling in for the injured Jonathan Kuminga and delivering an impressive performance in a 115-97 victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Shooting 9-of-13 from the field, Jackson-Davis finished the game with 18 points, eight rebounds, one assist, two steals, and three blocked shots in 31 minutes of action.

While Jackson-Davis’ season-long fantasy value may not have been high, he has been shining recently. Over the past two weeks, he has averaged 11.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 2.1 blocks in 27.3 minutes, making him a valuable asset for fantasy managers. Despite his struggles at the free-throw line, shooting just 46.7% over the past two weeks, his overall production has been too good to ignore.

With Kuminga sidelined, Jackson-Davis has solidified his spot in the rotation and has even surpassed Kevon Looney in the pecking order. With the Warriors set to play four times in Week 23, now is the perfect time to add Jackson-Davis to your fantasy team if he’s still available.

In addition to Jackson-Davis, several other players had standout performances on Friday, making them worthy pickups for fantasy managers. Jalen Suggs, Mitchell Robinson, Marvin Bagley III, Corey Kispert, Keon Ellis, Georges Niang, Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe, and Aaron Wiggins all made significant contributions to their teams and could provide value moving forward.

As the fantasy basketball season heats up, these players could be difference-makers for teams looking to make a playoff push. Keep an eye on their performances and consider adding them to your roster if they are still available in your league.
