Recent injuries across the NBA have opened up opportunities for lesser-known players to shine, particularly in Brooklyn, Dallas, and Philadelphia. As Week 12 approaches, a number of those players, all rostered in under 50% of Yahoo leagues, are worth considering for waiver wire adds.
Leading the list is Kelly Oubre Jr. from the Philadelphia 76ers, whose role has expanded due to injuries to stars like Joel Embiid. His consistent production makes him a valuable asset, especially with Philadelphia's busy schedule this week. Portland's Shaedon Sharpe has also stepped up, showing excellent performance metrics that place him among the top-50 players recently.
Other notable adds include Jaime Jaquez Jr. from the Miami Heat, who has benefitted from Jimmy Butler's absence, and Quentin Grimes of the Dallas Mavericks, stepping into a larger role due to injuries affecting their star players. All these players present viable options for fantasy managers looking to maximize their rosters.
