The NBA trade deadline is drawing near, and several players are emerging as potential fantasy basketball stashes. With significant trade rumors surrounding players like Nikola Vučević of the Chicago Bulls, Jalen Smith stands out as a top candidate. If Vučević is moved, Smith's role could expand, making him a valuable asset for fantasy managers seeking a boost in rebounds and blocks.

Toumani Camara of the Portland Trail Blazers also deserves attention, especially as teammates Jerami Grant and Anfernee Simons may be traded. Camara has shown promise in recent games and could see increased usage if either veteran is dealt.

Ziaire Williams, playing for the Brooklyn Nets, presents sneaky upside as a stash candidate. Following an uptick in playing time, his stats indicate he could become integral to the team's development-focused strategy.

Meanwhile, Washington Wizards' Carlton Carrington and Isaiah Collier from the Utah Jazz are also highlighted. Carrington could see more minutes if veterans are moved, while Collier's role is solidifying as he takes over point guard duties, making him a priority add.
