Quarterfinals and semifinals are here, and in the “Do-or-Die” zone of the fantasy season, one smart waiver add can be the difference between a trophy and a disappointment. With rotations shifting due to late-season injuries, here are Rebanse’s top targets for Week 21.
JUSTIN EDWARDS, PHI, SF/PF
With KELLY OUBRE JR. expected to be sidelined until April with an elbow injury, JUSTIN EDWARDS has stepped into a major role for the injury-depleted 76ers. Since joining the starting lineup, Edwards has averaged 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.5 steals. As Philly fights for playoff positioning, Edwards provides elite defensive stats and scoring that could anchor your forward spot.
TRISTAN DA SILVA, ORL, SF/PF
The Orlando Magic are still without FRANZ WAGNER (ankle), and TRISTAN DA SILVA has seen his value spike as a result. The sophomore wing is shooting a blistering 56.5% from the field and 46.2% from deep, while contributing 15.3 points and 1.9 steals over his last eight games. His efficiency and multi-category production make him a high-floor target while the Magic wait for Wagner’s return.
SCOOT HENDERSON, POR, PG
For managers needing backcourt help, SCOOT HENDERSON is finding his rhythm at the perfect time. Since the All-Star break, he has averaged 14 points and 1.9 three-pointers, including a recent season-high 28-point outburst. While his field goal percentage remains a work in progress, his 86.2% free-throw shooting and heavy usage on a developmental Blazers squad offer significant upside.
NICK RICHARDS, CHI, C
Big men are often the hardest to find this late in the year, but NICK RICHARDS has been a reliable source of boards and blocks since joining the Bulls. Averaging 11 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks over his last seven games, Richards is a high-efficiency big who can stabilize your field goal percentage and defensive stats. Just be aware that Chicago only plays three games in Week 21.
