Fantasy Basketball: Jason Thompson Headlines The Waiver Pickups For This Week

By Dave Fuqua | Dec 14, 2014

In standard sized ten team fantasy basketball leagues I have discovered that the league can be won or lost by your performance on the waiver wire. Sometimes the hardest part about performing well on your league’s waiver wire is deciding just who are you going to drop for this week’s waiver flavor. It all boils down to being able to take a hard look at the team on which the player is on and what has made him blow up as of late.

One of the reasons I love fantasy basketball is because it is somewhat more predictable than fantasy football. With team rosters in check around 15 players it can be a little easier and a few less surprises than other sports. It also seems that the math part of basketball has a lot less variables than other sports.

With all that said we here at Fantasy CPR will put in the work and analysis in order to help you decipher just who to add, and who we think might you might be able to drop so that you can add the player that will get you that much closer to your goals as a fantasy owner.
