Fantasy Basketball Forecaster: November 25th - December 1st

The Nuggets have the easiest schedule this week, so get ready for some Jokic!

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.
