Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Week 18: Key Additions for Every League
Explore crucial waiver wire additions for this week in fantasy basketball, focusing on players with the most potential following recent trades and injuries.
Hello! Welcome back! As the dust settles from a chaotic trade deadline, the waiver wire is chock-full of attractive options. The top three names are all-leagues must-adds.
While the recent deadline is a part of the story for most of this week’s top adds, injuries also factor heavily. Whatever the cause, however, the result is what matters. And the result is that we have a waiver wire deep enough that Quentin Grimes is relegated to the ‘other recommendations’ section after a 30-9-4 performance.
Players to Add for All Leagues
Caris LeVert, Hawks (37% rostered)
After a slow start, LeVert stepped into a significant role post-trade. His recent averages of 19-9-5 and 2.5 threes suggest potential for escalating value, particularly after the trade deadline.
Donovan Clingan, Trail Blazers (60% rostered)
Clingan took advantage of injuries affecting his team, showcasing his talents with strong performances over the past two games averaging 20-8.
Keon Johnson, Nets (45% rostered)
Despite having down games recently, Johnson’s trajectory suggests he remains a solid pick going forward based on his previous averages.
Carlton Carrington, Wizards (50% rostered)
With major injuries altering the Wizards’ roster dynamics, Carrington is in line for increased playtime and opportunity.
Kyshawn George, Wizards (23% rostered)
George has stepped up in a depleted lineup, making him a viable add as Washington seeks to fill the gap left by injury.’
