As the NBA season winds down, fantasy basketball managers are diving into the waiver wire to find potential gems. Key players like Adem Bona of the Philadelphia 76ers are gaining attention after solid performances, particularly with Andre Drummond sidelined. Fellow teammate Jared Butler has also made some waves, although his consistency may be tied to other players' performances. Ryan Rollins has emerged, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo's absence impacting team dynamics.

More under-the-radar names like Julian Champagnie and Jamal Shed are also noted; their respective teams are dealing with lineup changes that could provide opportunities. Shed’s current minutes hint at the potential for increased production, while Bruce Brown's performances could be beneficial if CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson remain out. However, skepticism surrounds players like Tim Hardaway Jr., whose recent success might not be sustainable. The discussion also highlights some of the most dropped players, including LaMelo Ball, who is confirmed out for the season, indicating the volatility of the late-season roster decisions.
