After six games on Monday and five games on Tuesday, we finally got back to the craziness of the NBA schedule with 10 games on Wednesday. That meant less space in your lineup for streaming options, but there were still plenty of under the radar guys that played well and are deserving of your attention. Of course, the stars stole the show, as Victor Wembanyama recorded the first triple-double of his career (16/12/10) in just 21 minutes. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for 80 points as the Celtics outdueled the Timberwolves in overtime. There were two other overtime games, with the Hawks beating the 76ers and the Bulls topping the Rockets. There were plenty of other big performances, but here are the players that may actually be sitting on your waiver wire.
Cam Whitmore- 3% rostered in Yahoo leagues
Whitmore has played a larger role over their last few games, but he logged a career-high 33 minutes on Wednesday, which allowed him to score a career-best 16 points. He also played all five minutes of overtime, which shows that Ime Udoka trusts him. Dillon Brooks is inching closer to a return, but Tari Eason could be out a few more weeks. Whitmore posted a 16/5/1/2 line with two 3-pointers on Wednesday, and even if he continues to come off the bench against Detroit on Friday, he should play enough to provide solid value.
Moses Moody- 4%
For the second straight game, Moody was able to score 21 points and knock down four 3-pointers in a blowout loss to New Orleans. Things aren’t going well for the Warriors, so Steve Kerr should look to ride the hot hand in Moody. They play in Chicago on Friday, and even if he doesn’t start, he should provide some scoring and shooting off the bench. Hopefully Kerr won’t decide to ruin those plans.
