Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wired, Week 21: Payton Pritchard stepping up as Celtics rest
Whether you’re fighting for a championship or just getting your playoff run started, streaming is vital to securing a win. If you’re reading this column, you’re probably no stranger to that concept. There are only a few weeks left until the playoffs, and teams are shifting into gear. That could be to get into the playoffs, to get a better seed, to make sure they’re fresh for the playoffs, or to improve their lottery odds. Those are all factors to consider when streaming.
While Dallas doesn’t play during the final three days of the week, it’s also important to note that 13 teams only play one game during this stretch. Keep that in mind when making streaming decisions!
One game Friday-Sunday: Sacramento, Phoenix, Houston, Washington, Denver, New York, Charlotte, Orlando, Chicago, Brooklyn, Memphis, Utah, Milwaukee
The format for this article will feature players who are “tired” and those who are “wired.” Tired players are those worth adding off the wire but with tempered expectations or highly rostered players who can be dropped in favor of a hot pickup. Wired players are those who are the best additions with the highest rest-of-season ceilings.
