The NBA trade deadline is rapidly approaching. There are also plenty of trades to be made to help bolster fantasy squads for the second half of the season. Let’s discuss some players to buy low on, sell high on or hold based on their current production.
Candidates to buy in fantasy
P.J. Washington Jr., Dallas Mavericks
Washington is averaging 7.5 rebounds per game this season, which is the highest mark of his career. He is also averaging 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks. However, his average of 13.1 points per game has been a bit underwhelming. He is also shooting a modest 43.8% from the field.

With plenty of minutes and added shot attempts coming his way, now is the time to try to acquire Washington for your squad. With Dončić, Irving and Gafford all out Tuesday against the Lakers, Washington produced 22 points and eight rebounds over 39 minutes.
Rudy Gobert, Minnesota Timberwolves
Known for his rebounding prowess, Gobert has logged fewer than eight rebounds in five of his last 11 games. During that span, he only averaged 8.7 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. Gobert is currently averaging 10.6 rebounds for the season, which is on pace to be his lowest mark since the 2014-15 campaign.
While Gobert has been a disappointment lately, he is still averaging a double-double for the season. He is also shooting 62.1% from the field and providing 1.5 blocks per game. He might not be able to replicate the stellar production that he provided last season, but he also provides a high floor for fantasy managers looking to acquire some help at center.
Candidates to sell in fantasy
Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers
Leonard jumped right back into the starting lineup in his return from a knee injury. He logged 19 minutes in his first game against the Hawks, then played 21 minutes against the Timberwolves on Monday. He made a total of…
