Top Waiver Wire Picks for Fantasy Basketball's Final Week
As the regular season draws to a close, the Hornets, Pelicans, Kings, and Jazz are set to play three games each in the final week, while every other team has four. This creates some tough decisions for fantasy managers looking for that championship push. Here are five players to consider adding who remain widely available in CBS leagues: Brook Lopez, Los Angeles Clippers (42% rostered) Following the trade of Ivica Zubac to the Pacers, Lopez has stepped up significantly. With Isaiah Jackson sidelined, he has averaged 29 minutes over the last nine games, contributing 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers, and 2.0 blocks. His recent play shows improvement, hitting 45.6% from the field in that span. The Clippers are aiming for a better Play-In Tournament seed, ensuring Lopez's role remains pivotal during their four-game week. Will Riley, Washington Wizards (36% rostered) With Trae Young and Anthony Davis unlikely to return, Riley has emerged as a key player for the Wizards. Averaging 32 minutes over his last 21 games, he has posted 15.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.6 three-pointers while shooting 47.3% from the field. The Wizards have four games next week, making him a strong waiver target. Walter Clayton Jr., Memphis Grizzlies (28% rostered) Despite the Grizzlies missing key players, Clayton has averaged 25 minutes over the last 10 games, contributing 4.6 assists and 1.5 three-pointers. The team plays four times next week, making him a potential asset for assist and three-point needs. Ousmane Dieng, Milwaukee Bucks (27% rostered) In a recent matchup against the Rockets, Dieng logged 45 minutes, scoring 36 points, along with 7 rebounds and 10 assists. With the Bucks eliminated from playoffs contention, he should continue to see substantial minutes, averaging 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists over the last nine games. Leonard Miller, Chicago Bulls (14% rostered) The Bulls are in search of size, and with injuries to key players, Miller could see increased opportunities. His performance could be crucial as the Bulls look to finalize their lineup in the upcoming week.
