The fantasy basketball landscape is heating up as league playoffs approach, and savvy managers must stay on top of the latest player performances and injury news. Kai Jones has emerged as a must-add player after a standout performance for the Dallas Mavericks, scoring 13 points and grabbing 9 rebounds in 28 minutes. With Anthony Davis sitting out, Jones is set to capitalize on more playing time and should be a primary option in the team’s upcoming games.

Meanwhile, Spencer Dinwiddie continues to ride a hot streak, showcasing impressive shooting and playmaking skills. His rising performance makes him a pivotal start in fantasy lineups. Additionally, players like Demona and Chuma Okeke are also gaining traction, particularly as teams pivot towards tanking strategies, creating opportunities for more minutes and fantasy stats. As teams strategize, watching players from the Philadelphia 76ers and others in the league will be crucial for those looking to bolster their rosters for the playoffs.

Analyzing the top 10 most added players in fantasy basketball, Jackson Hayes emerges at the forefront. With the Lakers' shifting roster, he’s seen inconsistent play, fluctuating around top-100 status but not a must-roster. Georges Niang, surprisingly starting for the Hawks, offers potential for three-point specialists despite limited overall contributions. Aaron Wiggins shows scoring bursts, but his long-term value hinges on team health. V.Kie is a potential fantasy asset given proper minutes, while Jordan Clarkson remains a volume shooter whose minutes could vary significantly.

Next, Bub Carrington has shown promise post-Kyle Kuzma trade, but his shooting efficiency may not sustain. Brandon Psky impressed in his limited minutes, though his overall production might struggle against tougher opponents. Naji Marshall’s fantasy game is limited primarily to scoring and rebounding, making him a risky short-term play. Jose Alvarado has started strong for the Pelicans amid injuries, showcasing his assist and steal potential.

Honorable mentions include Richaun Holmes, who offers solid fantasy contributions, and Keon Ellis, whose recent playing time could signal ongoing relevance.
