Week 14 of the NBA calendar has arrived, and we’re back to share some names to look at on the waiver wire of your respective leagues to help you win the week. The data we’re using comes from Yahoo Fantasy, so just be wary of the differences in things like rostered percentage and player eligibility on your platform of choice.
Jock Landale, HOU, C
Sophomore standout Zach Edey has been out since early December and won’t be reevaluated for another six weeks, making Landale the biggest benefactor in the Rockets’ rotation. The Aussie has stepped in admirably since December 11, putting up respectable averages of 11.1 points on 49.2% shooting along with 7.7 boards. Still rostered in only 12% of leagues, Landale is a high-priority grab for those needing big-man stats.
Jalen Pickett, DEN, SG/SF
Pickett’s recent uptick in value stems from the Nuggets’ injury woes, with Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon missing time and Christian Braun back on the sidelines. He’s stepping up with 12.3 points, 4.9 boards, and 4.4 assists. If you need a versatile streaming option who can contribute across the board while Denver’s stars are hampered, Pickett is your man.
De’Anthony Melton, GSW, PG/SG
While the Jonathan Kuminga drama reaches a fever pitch in Golden State, Melton has quietly been thriving. Over his last seven games, the veteran guard has averaged 13.9 points and 2.4 three-pointers in 23 minutes of action. While the scoring might see slight regression, his ability to provide steals and perimeter shooting makes him a top-tier target for managers looking for backcourt depth.
Brandon Williams, DAL, PG/SG
Williams is back on the radar after injuries to Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg forced the Mavericks to lean heavily on their depth. He recently shined against Denver and has averaged 20 points, 4.3 boards, and 3.0 assists over his last three outings. The 26-year-old combo guard is playing with renewed confidence and might just deserve a permanent spot on your roster again.
