Fantasy Basketball Forecaster: November 25th - December 1st

Welcome to this week’s Fantasy Basketball Forecaster! In here you’ll find:

• Top 3 waiver wire adds (among all players under 50% owned ESPN)
• Leaders in each stat category over the last week
• Each team’s schedule ranking, based on opponent’s stats allowed, where the #1 ranked team faces the easiest fantasy schedule this week

Let’s begin!

3 players to add off waivers

1. JJ Redick (36% rostered) — The Pelicans have been dealing with a ton of injuries and it’s put Redick in a larger role this last week. He averaged over 30 minutes per game and saw all his major stats go up. He’s oh so casually shooting 48% from three this year. Just saying.
2. Bogdan Bogdanovic (37% rostered) — He’s dealing with a nagging injury right now, but when Bogdanovic has been on the court, he’s easily been one of the Kings’ best players. He’s averaging 15/3/5 this season along with 1.5 stocks.
3. Brook Lopez (54% owned) — Slightly over my 50% meter, but consider this just a friendly reminder that Lopez should be on your fantasy roster. He’s a rare bird who gives you three point shooting, rebounds and stocks all in one neat package. He’s averaging 11.2 points with 1.5 threes made, to go with 5 boards, 1.4 assists and a very good 3.3 stocks.

Strength of schedule

Fire up your Nuggets and Thunder shares because they are in for an easy breezy week. On the flip side, it’s going to be a TOUGH week for Raptors and Grizzlies.
