🎧 Who’s in My Rotation: Waiver Pickups

Players who should be rostered in all leagues under 50%:

De’Andre Hunter, Gradey Dick, Rui Hachimura, Alex Sarr, Yves Missi, Malcolm Brogdon, Malik Beasley and Andrew Nembhard.

Players to be added this week under 40% rostered:

Scotty Pippen Jr. – PG/SG, Memphis Grizzlies (34% )

One of the most valuable backups in fantasy basketball should be added to all leagues again, with Ja Morant day-to-day with a shoulder injury. With Morant off the floor, Pippen Jr. is averaging 15 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.7 stocks and 34 fantasy points per game this season. He’s also been efficient as a starter, shooting 53% from the field and 40% from 3.

Spencer Dinwiddie – PG/SG, Dallas Mavericks (21%)

With Dončić out for at least a month, Dinwiddie rejoins the Mavs starting unit. He’s been a proven streaming option when seeing an increased workload, averaging 17 points, 4.7 boards and 5.7 dimes as a starter this season. For those in 9-cat leagues, his FG% might be a slight hindrance, but the counting stats are worth the slight dip in that area. Quentin Grimes (19%) is the next best option if Dinwiddie is unavailable. Grimes also gets a boost because Naji Marshall was suspended for three games for his minor scuffle with Jusuf Nurkić.

Scoot Henderson – PG, Portland Trail Blazers (30%)

It’s been a rollercoaster ride for the second-year pro, but he’s in a nice groove over the past…
