Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire: Six Players Outperforming Expectations

[ad_1]

Sick of shopping yet? Don’t worry, we’re not going to sell you any stocking stuffers here. We’re only shopping for stat stuffers on the waiver wire in fantasy basketball. Here are some players to consider adding who are still available in the majority of Yahoo leagues.

Gradey Dick

, Toronto Raptors (53% available)

TOR

Injuries have been a problem for the Raptors for much of the season. Scottie Barnes made his return Thursday, but Immanuel Quickley (elbow) is still sidelined. Jakob Poeltl (groin) also recently went down and it’s uncertain when he will be able to return.

There is going to be no shortage of minutes and shot attempts for Dick moving forward. After logging just 21 minutes per game during his rookie season, Dick has averaged 32 minutes per game this season.

CHI

Despite the Bulls having a surplus of guards, Dosunmu has carved out a significant role for himself. He is averaging 31 minutes per game, which is on pace to be the highest mark of his career. He has parlayed that into averages of 13.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.4 three-pointers. Just as noteworthy is that he is shooting 50.0% from the field and 80.8% from the charity stripe.

Rumors continue to swirl about the Bulls looking to trade Zach LaVine. They could also look to trade Lonzo Ball if he continues to stay healthy. Dosunmu has already proven to have fantasy value as the roster is currently constructed. If the Bulls then trade away a guard or two, Dosunmu could take his production to an even higher level.

De’Andre Hunter

, Atlanta Hawks (61% available)

ATL

Hunter is averaging two fewer minutes per game than he did last season. However, after averaging 15.6 points and 2.1 three-pointers per game last season, he has averaged 19.8 points and 2.8 three-pointers this season. Part of the reason for his increased production is that he is shooting 45.3% from behind the arc. He has also increased his usage rate…
