The 2025-26 NBA season continues with Week 10, and this is our list of players to pick from your waiver wires. Take note, this list is optimized for fantasy basketball managers playing on Yahoo Fantasy, but these players might still be available on whichever platform you are using.
Noah Clowney, BKN, PF/C
The Brooklyn Nets are nowhere close to being competitive this season, but Noah Clowney continues to log consistent minutes. Through more than 26 appearances and roughly 28 minutes per game, Clowney is averaging 13.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.7 steals, and 0.8 blocks. Those are solid numbers for a waiver pickup, and with silly season approaching, Clowney profiles as a reliable end-of-bench option.
Jock Landale, MEM, C
Back on the list for a second straight week, Landale once again justifies the recommendation. Over three games in around 27 minutes per contest, he posted 11.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, plus one steal and one block per game. While inconsistency will always be part of the package, Zach Edey’s absence and Landale’s low roster percentage make him a worthwhile flier.
Marcus Smart, LAL, PG/SG
Marcus Smart returns to our must-consider list with the Lakers still lacking a clear timetable for Austin Reaves, who is dealing with a calf strain, and Gabe Vincent is expected to miss at least a week due to a back issue. These circumstances have opened up meaningful minutes for Smart.
In his last three starts, he averaged 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.7 blocks in over 30 minutes per game. His shooting efficiency has been an issue, but the Lakers need his defense, hustle, and playmaking.
Keldon Johnson, SAS, SF/PF
The San Antonio Spurs welcomed Victor Wembanyama back, but he is still working through the effects of a calf strain. That has allowed Keldon Johnson to continue carving out a useful role.
Across the Spurs’ three-game slate last week, Johnson averaged 8.3 points on 55 percent shooting, 5.7 rebounds, and one made three-pointer per game. While the lack of stocks limits his ceiling, Johnson remains a versatile Swiss army knife for managers looking for steady production off the wire.
