3 players to add off waivers
- Rui Hachimura (51% rostered) — Hachimura is back from injury and is picking up right where he left off. In his three games back he’s averaging 13.3 PPG and 8.3 RPG. If he’s available in your league, he’s 100% a must-add.
- Malik Beasley (25% rostered) — In Beasley’s first start with the Timberwolves, he registered 23 points, 7 made threes, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. He’s likely locked in as the Wolves starting two guard which means he’ll get the minutes to give you big fantasy outings.
- Marquese Chriss (28% rostered) — Chriss has started the last seven games for the Warriors and is averaging 13.4 PPG/5.6 RBG/1.3 APG/2.9 StPG. He almost posted a double-double in his last game with 26 points and 9 rebounds.
