It’s the last week of the season, and it’s time to get a little crazy with your fantasy basketball waiver wire adds. Feel free to let go of your injured studs and pick up some unsung heroes. The difference between second place and a championship could come down to just one breakout performance. Let’s take a look at some of the top waiver wire adds for the final week.
Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds
Davion Mitchell, PG, Miami Heat
Mitchell has been playing a key role off the bench for the Heat since early February. He’s played at least 30 minutes in each of his last 10 games. Mitchell is averaging 14.7 points, 6.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals, and 2.3 three-pointers over his last three games. He is also shooting 49 percent from the field and 83% from the free-throw line over that span. Mitchell would make a great addition to any fantasy team right now. Consider him a priority fantasy basketball waiver wire add.
Dalano Banton, PG/SG/SF, Portland Trail Blazers
Banton was one of those crazy pickups down the stretch last season, who ultimately helped some teams capture the championship. It’s the same story again this year. He has started each of the last three games due to Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson missing those contests. Banton has poured in at least 20 points in each of those three starts. He is averaging 18.8 points, 4.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in his last four games. If your team is in need of a scoring punch, he’s a terrific fantasy basketball waiver wire add.
Ja’Kobe Walter, PG/SG, Toronto Raptors
Walter was the 19th overall selection in the 2024 NBA draft. He has had his ups and downs in his rookie season. However, he has started the past seven games for the Raptors and seems firmly entrenched in that role to finish out the season. Walter is averaging 14.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 3.0 three-pointers over his last four games. He is shooting 49 percent from the field and is perfect from the free-throw line during this stretch. Walter is a strong fantasy basketball waiver wire add for a championship run.
Adem Bona, SF/PF/C, Philadelphia 76ers
If you’re in need of some big man stats, then look no further than Adem Bona. The 76ers have lost all their stars to injuries, leaving everyone else to pick up the slack. Bona has stepped in to fill the role of Joel Embiid. He is averaging 13.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.7 steals, and 2.3 blocks over his last four games. Bona is shooting 72 percent from the field over that span. Also, you likely won’t find a player providing better defensive stats in your free agent pool. Bona could be a game changing fantasy basketball waiver wire add during the final week.
