Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wired, Week 11: Ausar Thompson or Malik Beasley?

[ad_1]

Week 11 (Yahoo leagues) of the fantasy basketball season is on the horizon, and some key injuries have opened the door for some low-rostered players to add value. The situation in Detroit is especially noteworthy, as Jaden Ivey’s fractured fibula has provided an opportunity for two players to step up. Which one fantasy managers should add will depend on their roster builds and what areas they need the most help in. Let’s look at this week’s Waiver Wired.

Priority Adds

1. Malik Beasley

2. Ausar Thompson

3. De’Andre Hunter

4. Gradey Dick

5. Alexandre Sarr

6. Max Christie

7. Scoot Henderson

8. Dillon Brooks

9. Spencer Dinwiddie

10. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

Over his last seven games, Hunter has averaged 23.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.9 3-pointers in 27.7 minutes, shooting 57.1% from the field and 87.2% from the foul line. While the production in categories outside of points and 3-pointers may be underwhelming for some category league managers, Hunter has played well enough to merit being rostered in a higher percentage of fantasy leagues. Also, it’s unknown when Bogdan Bogdanovic will return from his leg injury, which has made Hunter a player of even greater importance to the Hawks.

PF/C Alexandre Sarr (48%), Washington Wizards

After struggling with inconsistency throughout November, Sarr has hit double figures in scoring in all ten games he’s played since the beginning of December. In those outings, he’s averaged 13.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.6 blocks, and 2.1 3-pointers per game, shooting 46.0% from the field and 52.6% from the foul line. For managers punting free throw percentage, Sarr’s production during this period has been good for 7th-round value. Unless he were to suffer an injury, the rookie will remain a fixture in the Wizards’ lineup, and Sarr will have value for the remainder of the season as long as he remains healthy.

SG/SF Gradey Dick (45%), Toronto Raptors

After sitting out Tuesday’s loss in Boston, Gradey returned to the Raptors lineup and accounted for 22 points, three rebounds, two assists, three steals, and four…
