Welcome to my weekly Fantasy Basketball Forecaster! In here you’ll find:
- Top 3 waiver wire adds (among all players under 50% rostered ESPN)
- Leaders in each stat category over the last week
- Each team’s schedule ranking, based on opponent’s points allowed, where the #1 ranked team plays the easiest DFS schedule for the week
Top 3 Waiver Wire Adds
DeAndre Jordan (44% rostered) — In the month of February, Jordan is averaging 9.2 PPG/7.8 RPG/2.1 APG/2.0 StPG. He’s always a threat to get you a double-double and his defense makes for great fantasy production.
Josh Hart (20% rostered) — Over the last week, Hart has averaged 14.0 points, 8.5 boards, and 1.5 stocks per game while shooting 43% from 3. He’s getting it done on both sides of court recently and those rebound numbers are excellent from the guard spot.
Tristian Thompson (14% rostered) — Thompson has gotten a lot more run time with the Celtics recently, starting their last four games. In those games, he’s averaging 13.3 points, 8.3 boards, and 1.8 stocks on 28 minutes per game. I doubt Thompson remains in the Celtics’ starting lineup for long, but while he’s there, he’s well worth rostering.

Strength of Schedule
The Denver Nuggets and New Orleans Pelicans have the easiest DFS schedule this week, while it’s going to be tough sailing for the Charlotte Hornets and the Washington Wizards.
