For the first time this season, injuries aren’t the focus of this week’s Waiver Wire column. Instead, I’ll highlight rookies who are hitting their stride and bench options with standalone value.

Traore has started seven straight games. He’s scored at least 14 points in five straight, averaging 16.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.0 triples across 25 minutes.
