The Playlist: Week 14 fantasy basketball waiver wire pickups and lineup advice

Welcome back to The Playlist: my weekly column that lets you know who to add off the waiver wire and get in your lineup for the upcoming week in fantasy basketball.

[High Score is a new way to play Fantasy Basketball on Yahoo with simple rosters and scoring. It’s not too late to create or join a league]

Every league is different — sometimes a 75% rostered player hits waivers, whether by mistake or because they’ve hit an intolerable slump. If they fit your build, go get ’em. But for this column, we’re focusing on players under 50% rostered who are widely available and ready to help in Week 14.

🎧 Who’s in My Rotation: High Score

Naji Marshall – FC, Dallas Mavericks (33% rostered)

With Anthony Davis out and P.J. Washington sidelined to start the week, Marshall’s been capitalizing on the increased opportunities. He dropped 56 fantasy points in Week 13 and has scored at least 22 points in four of his last five games.

The Mavericks play four games this week, including three games in four nights from Thursday to Sunday. That condensed schedule means healthy bodies like Marshall will log heavy minutes while guys like Cooper Flagg (coming off an injury) are more likely to rest. He’ll be a strong play for anyone in shallow leagues looking for a boost over the weekend.

Ajay Mitchell – G, Oklahoma City Thunder (29%)

With Jalen Williams out indefinitely after pulling his hamstring Saturday, Mitchell becomes a must-add in all formats. He scored 40+ fantasy points in Week 12 and 34 in Week 13. Mitchell was a top-100 player in High Score for a significant portion of the year while Williams dealt with his wrist injury, and he’ll likely return to that form with four games this week.

Brice Sensabaugh – FC, Utah Jazz (25% rostered)

Sensabaugh dropped a season-high 58 fantasy points in Week 13 and has scored 25-plus points in four of his last five games. The dude can’t miss right now. Also, the Jazz are doing Jazz things — benching vets for young guys — with Sensabaugh cashing in. Utah plays four games this week, including a Monday-Tuesday back-to-back to start. Pick him up now before someone else…
