Fantasy Basketball Forecaster: April 19th - 25th

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

1. Luguentz Dort (42% rostered) — Dort has struggled with injury over the last month but he’s played in four of the Thunder’s last five games. In those games he’s averaging 28 PPG/5.5 RPG/2 APG/2.8 StPG.
2. Cole Anthony (27% rostered) — The Magic’s rookie has played in Orlando’s last seven games after missing extended time with injury and started their last two games. In that span, Anthony is averaging 12.9 PPG/4.9 RPG/5.6 APG/1 StPG.
3. Nerlens Noel (26% rostered) — If you need defense and rebounding, Noel is a must-add. In the month of April, Noel is averaging 6.2 points, 7.4 boards, and 2.6 blocks per game.

DFS Strength of Schedule

A very cushy schedule for the Los Angeles Clippers playing against the easiest schedule this week, while a tough stretch for the Milwaukee Bucks, having to play the Phoenix Suns, Atlanta Hawks, and Philadelphia 76ers twice.
