Your fantasy basketball waiver wire is becoming more crucial with each passing week. In most leagues, only five weeks remain until the fantasy playoffs. This week’s edition features players with eligibility at all five positions. These adds could be difference-makers for your team down the stretch. Let’s take a look at some of the top waiver wire adds for week 15.
Week 15 Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds
Cole Anthony, PG, Orlando Magic
The fact that Anthony is still available in 56% of Fantrax leagues is quite astonishing. He is coming off a stellar performance against the Utah Jazz, where he dropped 23 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two three-pointers, one steal, and one block. Anthony is averaging 15.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.7 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals over his last 12 games. He has also recorded at least one steal and one block in each of his last three contests. Anthony should be considered a top fantasy basketball waiver add in every format.
Aaron Wiggins, SG/SF, Oklahoma City Thunder
Wiggins had the biggest performance of his career on Saturday against the Sacramento Kings. He exploded for 41 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and six three-pointers. This showing is likely to earn him more playing time moving forward. Wiggins is averaging 12.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.2 three-pointers over his last 13 games. He is also shooting .533 from the field during that span. Wiggins is a solid fantasy basketball waiver wire add in deeper leagues.
Ziaire Williams, SF, Brooklyn Nets
The Nets are dealing with a plethora of injuries and Williams is one of the main beneficiaries. Cam Thomas, Noah Clowney, Ben Simmons, and Cameron Johnson are dealing with ailments at the moment. Williams has received at least 20 minutes of action in each of his last 13 games. During that stretch, he is averaging 11.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.2 steals. He has scored in double figures in nine of those 13 contests, including a 21-point, eight-rebound performance in his most recent game. While the Nets remain shorthanded, think about adding Williams off the waiver wire in your fantasy league.
Precious Achiuwa, PF/C, New York Knicks
OG Anunoby suffered a foot sprain against the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. Achiuwa stepped up off the bench and recorded 15 points and 15 rebounds. It’s unclear how much time Anunoby will miss, but Achiuwa gets an immediate boost to his fantasy value while he is out. He is averaging 10.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.8 steals over his last five games. Lately, his defense has been elite, racking up 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks over the past eight contests. If you need help at center, Achiuwa is an intriguing fantasy basketball waiver wire add.
