With less than a month remaining in the NBA regular season, some fantasy basketball leagues are deep into the playoffs, while others have just begun. Even if your league format doesn’t include a postseason, most managers are aiming to finish the season on a high note — even if only to avoid a dreaded last-place finish in the standings. This week’s waiver wire article focuses on six players to consider adding this weekend, and hopefully, it has someone for managers of most league sizes and formats. Unless you’re in a 30-team league, at least a couple of these players ought to be available. An additional 10 recently recommended players who remain rostered in less than 50% of leagues have been listed at the end as well.

Trayce Jackson-Davis, Golden State Warriors (45% rostered)

While there was reason to think that coach Steve Kerr would go back to his veterans once Stephen Curry returned from his recent injury, the promotion of Jackson-Davis seems likely to stick. The rookie big man who nearly went undrafted is not just a lob threat in the pick-and-roll who pairs well with Chris Paul, although he is that for sure. Jackson-Davis has scored in double figures while earning over 20 minutes in six straight contests. During that same span, he has averaged 12.7 points (81.4% FG, 42.9% FT), 7.0 boards, 2.3 assists and 1.8 blocks in 24.7 minutes. With the Warriors competing for playoff positioning down the stretch, Jackson-Davis should continue to see ample time. Furthermore, a four-game week is on the horizon for Golden State. As such, if Jackson-Davis is somehow still available, add him now while you still can. By the end of the weekend, he’ll almost certainly be rostered in more leagues than not.
