Fantasy Basketball Week 14 Waiver Wired: It’s time to add Kel’El Ware

[ad_1]

With the completion of play on January 23, we’re now less than two weeks from the NBA trade deadline. As a result, player availabilities will only be less predictable in some situations, either due to a team’s desire to keep a player healthy or “showcase” him for the rest of the leagues. Add in some key injuries that have opened up opportunities for others, and fantasy managers will have a lot to sift through as they craft their rosters for Week 14 in Yahoo leagues.

SF/PF Tari Eason (45%), Houston Rockets

Eason returned from a lingering left leg injury on January 16 and has played in each of Houston’s four games since. A double-digit scorer in three of those four contests, he’s averaged 13.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 3.0 steals, and 1.3 3-pointers, shooting 48.6% from the field. Eason’s leg injury can make him a risky “add” for some, but the ability to impact games off the makes him worth the risk. The more significant concern in the short term is the Monday/Tuesday back-to-back (at BOS, at ATL) that Houston plays to begin Week 14.

C Nick Richards (42%), Phoenix Suns

While he hasn’t been able to duplicate his 21-point, 11-rebound performance in his Suns’ debut on January 18 in Detroit, Richards is in a position where he needs to be rostered in standard leagues. He did grab 15…
