Welcome to The Playlist: my weekly column that lets you know who and what to play — when it comes to music or other things in my rotation — for the upcoming week in fantasy basketball.

Each week, you’ll see a compilation of the pickups you need to make, a quick look at the schedule and lineup notes (who’s in and out of rotations).

Press play and shuffle through the latest fantasy basketball info.

Who should fantasy basketball managers be adding and plugging into their lineups this week?

🏀 Week 6 wrap up:

The Bucks, Grizzlies and Magic are the hottest teams, winning six straight games, respectively

Group play of the Emirates NBA Cup concludes on Tuesday

Isaiah Hartenstein averaged 15/14/4 with 1.5 stocks in his first week back. Yikes.

Nikola Jokić tied Magic Johnson for third all-time in triple-doubles. Jokić amassed 138 triple-doubles in 190 fewer games than Magic 👀

🎧 Who’s in My Rotation: Waiver Pickups

Note: The Week 7 scoring period is two weeks. December 2-15.

Nick Richards – C, Charlotte Hornets (36% rostered)

Hopefully, you scooped Richards when he made my list last week, but here’s another reminder. Richards returned to the Hornets on Saturday, scoring 12 points (3-5 FG, 6-7 FT) with 6 boards, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 blocks in 25 minutes. Moussa Diabaté got the start but only played 22 minutes. Mark Williams is still not ready to return, so Richards is the player you’ll want to roster for fantasy purposes.

Yves Missi – C, New Orleans Pelicans (31% rostered)

Add the rookie out of Baylor in all leagues. The Pelicans are approaching sell mode and he’s one of the few names on their roster who won’t be available. The big man has found his groove lately, averaging nearly a double-double with 9.9 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2 stocks in 27 minutes per game over his last 10 contests. As the starting center of a struggling team, he’ll continue getting run and production for fantasy managers needing rebounds and blocks.

▶️ “Grand Groove” – Tragedy Khadafi

Goga Bitadze – C, Orlando Magic (29% rostered)
