As fantasy playoffs approach, managers face critical roster decisions. With trade deadlines looming, targeting players on the waiver wire becomes essential for enhancing both short and long-term team performance. Six players under 50% rostered on Yahoo are highlighted for their potential contributions.
Scoot Henderson of the Portland Trail Blazers has shown growth, averaging 19.3 points and 5.0 assists recently, making him a solid option. Nick Richards, now with the Phoenix Suns, may regain a starting role after a trade, providing a chance for valuable stats. Nikola Jovic of the Miami Heat, despite uncertainty with Jimmy Butler's status, has been productive off the bench. Lonzo Ball's return to the Chicago Bulls has brought consistency, although his role could be impacted by teammate Ayo Dosunmu's return.
Noah Clowney from the Brooklyn Nets has found stability in playing time, averaging decent numbers despite his team's struggles. Finally, Tim Hardaway Jr. of the Detroit Pistons has rebounded from a slow start, showcasing scoring potential. Managers must consider these players carefully as they prepare for the final stretch of the season.
