Welcome back to The Playlist — your weekly scan of the fantasy basketball landscape, where we break down waiver adds for 9-cat and standard points leagues to help you stay competitive.
Week 10 means it’s time for Christmas and hoops. There are no games on Wednesday (Christmas Eve), and while 11 teams play four games this week (most of which I discuss in my pickups), the Nets are the only team to play two. So, you can move on from fringe players from BK.

Now that’s out of the way, let’s talk pickups.

🎧 Who’s in My Rotation: Shallow leagues
Cam Spencer – PG/SG, Memphis Grizzlies (27% rostered)
Ja Morant and Vince Williams Jr. are out on Monday against the Thunder, opening up another spot start for Spencer. He’s surprisingly ranked 31st over the past month, providing a balance of scoring, efficiency and assists. There’s no guarantee Morant plays on Tuesday either, so if Spencer is on your waiver wire, scoop him up in 9-cat or points leagues as the Grizzlies play four games in Week 10. Spencer had 19 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists across 37 minutes in a loss to Washington on Saturday. I’d also look at Jock Landale as an alternative in the frontcourt.

Cason Wallace – PG/SG, Oklahoma City Thunder (25% rostered)
OKC has a favorable schedule this week, starting with a back-to-back on Monday/Tuesday. They’ll also play on Christmas and Sunday (two lighter slates), so Wallace makes for a good option in Week 10. Wallace’s numbers aren’t jumping off the page; however, he’s been a top-90 player over the past two weeks thanks to his defense, averaging more steals per game than most reserves in the league. Whether 9-cat or points leagues, his stocks make him a consistent 20-25 fantasy-point contributor with upside for more if there’s an injury or he gets over 25 minutes. Ajay Mitchell (25% rostered) is another option.
Naji Marshall – SF/PF, Dallas Mavericks (22% rostered)
Marshall has a decent 25-fantasy point floor in points leagues, but with Cooper Flagg, Max Christie and Klay Thompson all questionable on Monday, their…
