Many traditional fantasy leagues are now deep into the semifinals or finals, and at this crucial juncture, the right waiver wire addition can be the difference between advancing or heading home. As “Silly Season” rotations create new opportunities, here are Rebanse’s top targets for Week 22.
TAYLOR HENDRICKS, MEM, SF/PF
To no one’s surprise, TAYLOR HENDRICKS is at the top of our list. The Grizzlies have a four-game week, and Hendricks has been a defensive juggernaut. Last week, in just 25 minutes per game, he produced a staggering 3.3 steals and 1.5 blocks. For managers needing a massive defensive boost to flip those categories, Hendricks is a priority add while he remains available.
TRISTAN VUKCEVIC, WAS, PF/C
The Washington Wizards are beginning to load-manage rookie ALEX SARR, and TRISTAN VUKCEVIC has been the primary beneficiary. Over his last seven appearances, Vukcevic has averaged 11.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.0 three-pointers. He is a high-quality streamer for any manager looking for a big man who can stretch the floor without hurting your free-throw percentages.
JAVON SMALL, MEM, PG/SG
With the Memphis backcourt rotation shifting to prioritize long-term evaluations, rookie JAVON SMALL has secured a steady role. Over his last seven games, he has averaged 15.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.1 assists. In a four-game week, Small offers a high floor for managers needing consistent guard production across multiple categories.
NAJI MARSHALL, DAL, SG/SF
NAJI MARSHALL has surged back into relevance at just the right time. Following a mid-season slump, the veteran has bounced back over his last five games, averaging 21.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists. If he is still floating on your waiver wire, Marshall is one of the most versatile “stat-stuffers” available to help round out your playoff lineup.
