Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wired, Week 22: Santi Aldama shining in Memphis

[ad_1]

We’re inching closer to the end of the regular season, which makes streaming weirder than usual. There is plenty of value to be found from players that are simply filling a void while the player in front of them is sidelined, whether that is because they are trying to get healthy for the playoffs or help their team’s lottery odds. The games played each day are also crucial, since there are 12 games on Friday, three games on Saturday and 10 games on Sunday. Streaming may not be as vital on Friday and Sunday, but scraping every ounce of value you can off the wire on Saturday can be the difference between winning and losing your matchup. I have included a few players that play on Saturday, but in reality, anyone you can add from those six teams (ATL, BOS, NOR, MIL, MEM, ORL) could swing the matchup in your waiver.

Isaac has provided second round value over the past week with averages of 14.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.3 blocks and 2.0 triples while shooting 70.8% from the floor. He doesn’t play massive minutes, but he can make a huge impact.

Tired: Cody Martin (2%) 

Like LaMelo, Martin was also ruled out for the season on Thursday. He wasn’t rostered in many leagues, but he did have a solid stretch of production before he went down a few weeks ago. Martin played in a grand total of 35 games over the last two seasons.

Wired: Santi Aldama (49%), Scotty Pippen Jr. (5%) ⚡️
