🏀 Friday waiver wire Ajay Mitchell (OKC, 11%): 25.4 MPG with Jalen Williams out Paul Reed (DET, 16%): 26 MPG, No. 5 on our board Kris Dunn (LAC, 10%): 30.3 MPG Derrick Jones Jr. (LAC, 4.8%): 29.8 MPG at under 5% rostered Full list: bballedge.com/waivers

Nine dunks ties his career high. Underdog says Wemby has 56 games with 5+ blocks since he entered the league, and the next closest player has 19. That's a category nobody else can match. Spurs are at Utah tonight.

The No. 6 pick hit the tying three with 0.2 seconds left and scored 17 off the bench in a game Brooklyn nearly stole. He also missed the OT layup that set up Tatum. Rookie growing pains, but with Demin banged up, Brown is a name for deep leagues.

40 points, 8 assists, 0 turnovers, and he got to the line 22 times, making 18. That free throw volume is what fantasy managers should love. Tatum now has the most game winners with under 3 seconds left since 2019-20, per @NBA. Boston has won 3 straight.

Wemby went 14 of 21 for 29 points, 10 boards and 5 blocks with 9 dunks Tuesday. Tonight the Spurs are at Utah, and the Jazz have Jaren Jackson Jr. (MCL tear) and Jusuf Nurkic out with Jaxson Hayes and Lauri Markkanen questionable. Thin frontcourt, big spot.

Brooklyn's new look: Nolan Traore replaced Keon Ellis in the starting five and scored 15 on 6 of 9 in 24 minutes. Egor Demin left with a right leg contusion but told Erik Slater he'll "be ready in a couple of days." Nets are off until Friday. Traore is a watch, not a must add.

Houston plays at Milwaukee tonight without Alperen Sengun (low back soreness) or Steven Adams (right soleus strain). NBC Sports says Clint Capela could draw the start, with Jabari Smith Jr. playing some center in small lineups. Capela is a one night stream for boards.

Tuesday's best fantasy lines 🏀 Luka 41/5/9 with 6 threes, Tatum 40 and 8 assists with 0 turnovers plus the OT winner, Wemby 29/10 with 5 blocks, KAT 27 and 20 boards, MPJ 27/12, and Sabonis 20/14/8 in a loss. Who carried your matchup?

Yaxel Lendeborg has 87 points through 4 games, the most by a Warriors rookie that early since Wilt Chamberlain in 1959, per ESPN. He was 1 for 8 from three Monday and still scored 31 because he went 12 for 13 at the line. Free throw volume keeps a rookie's floor high.

OKC lost 3 rotation players in 2 nights. Jalen Williams (fractured left fibula, dislocated ankle) and Cason Wallace (torn labrum) both need surgery, per Sam Presti. Alex Caruso sprained his right ankle Monday. Ajay Mitchell (30) and Jared McCain (18) started. Both are adds.

Monday's best fantasy lines 🏀 Yaxel Lendeborg 31/12/6, Ajay Mitchell a career high 30 in his first start, Sengun 29/9/9 with 6 steals, Cooper Flagg 29 and 11 assists, Giannis 29/15/11 in a loss, and Steph went 8 for 8 for 24. Who carried your matchup?
