As the fantasy basketball season progresses, managers are advised to capitalize on the waiver wire, especially given the recent injuries to key players. Notable absences include Stephen Curry, Paolo Banchero, and Kyle Kuzma, with uncertainty surrounding Joel Embiid and Kawhi Leonard.

Several players are highlighted as priority adds, including Nick Richards of the Charlotte Hornets, who is stepping up in the absence of Mark Williams, and Santi Aldama from the Memphis Grizzlies, who has been performing well. Other potential adds include Bilal Coulibaly, Tre Mann, and Payton Pritchard, among others.
