In Week 10 of the fantasy basketball season, key injuries and suspensions reshaped player values, emphasizing the need for strategic pickups. Jaden Ivey faces a lengthy absence after surgery on a broken fibula, while Jabari Smith is sidelined for 4-8 weeks due to a hand fracture. Jimmy Butler's suspension adds further complexity, but players like Anthony Edwards and CJ McCollum shine with record performances. Nikola Jokić leads fantasy points across various formats.
With the waiver wire buzzing, Ausar Thompson, Yves Missi, and Ryan Dunn emerge as essential pickups under 50% rostered. The Miami Heat, adjusting to Butler's absence, see opportunities for Nikola Jović and Duncan Robinson to step up. As Week 11 approaches, strategic streaming becomes paramount with the Suns leading the pack in games played.
