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
- Kyle Kuzma (54% rostered) — I’m breaking my under 50% rule to demand you go roster Kuzma if he’s available in your league. With both LeBron James and Anthony Davis out for the Lakers, Kuzma is about to get a ton of usage and stats across the board.
- Jordan Poole (17% rostered) — Filling in for the injured Steph Curry, Poole has gone absolutely off in his last three games, averaging 24.6 points per game along with at least one steal.
- Jae’Sean Tate (18% rostered) — Tate doesn’t do one thing super well, he does everything reliably good. Since the All-Star break, the rookie is averaging 11.3 PPG/5.6 RPG/1.7 APG/2.7 StPG.

DFS Strength of Schedule
A great DFS week for a couple of teams, including the Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, and New York Knicks. For the Utah Jazz and Orlando Magic however, it’s going to be tough sledding.
