We share the same basic goals: maximize the value of each roster spot and dominate our leagues. So, let's get to it!Here are ourmust-roster players available in 25-50 percent of fantasy leagues, our top waiver adds amongst those available in over 50 percent of leagues, and the best 9-cat streamers for the remainder of this week. Good luck this weekend and beyond! The following 11 players are available in 25-50 percent of Yahoo leagues and should be considered must-roster players in standard 9-cat formats. Cameron Johnson, F, Suns (74 percent rostered).The sharpshooter's back, people look alive! Johnson recently came off the IL, and he already hit 11 three-pointers over the past two games. He's also averaging 23 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 a sists, and 0.5 blocks in that span. The Suns only have one game left this week, but it's in San Antonio where the young, tanking Spurs won't know what hit them. Cam's a must-roster for the remainder of the season, and could help win you Steve Atwater Jersey some weeks with his usage up while Devin Booker remains shelved with a groin injury. Chris Paul has this offense looking smooth right now, so capitalize if you can.Walker Ke sler, F/C, Jazz (71%). A ton of people must either be living under rocks or locked out of their Yahoo accounts, because Ke sie has seemingly become the biggest cult phenomenon since the Loch Ne s Monster (Lock Ke s Monster? Ke sie lives? There's something there...we just have to find it). The 7-foot, 245-pound big-foot behemoth of Utah has been a double-double machine this season with plenty of pa sing and defensive prowe s to boot. If you're lucky enough to come acro s him on a waiver wire, stop, take a picture, and grab him as quickly as you can. Then you, too, can tell the Legend of Ke sie.De'Anthony Melton, G, 76ers (68%).It feels like I've talked about this guy all season, and people still seem to be dropping him. Sure, he had a brief week-or-two of quiet stat lines, but he still does way more with his 28 minutes than the majority of most waiver players could do in 40. Since recently returning to the Sixers' starting lineup, he has averaged Over his six appearances since returning to the starting lineup, he's averaged 8.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 a sists and 2.0 steals. Caden Sterns Jersey Scoop him up, ya big sillies.Killian Hayes, G, Pistons (65%). Hayes has been lighting it up ever since 2021 No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham went down, supplying his investors with insane fourth-round value after a lackluster first few seasons in the A sociation. He's doing it all aggre sively penetrating to the hoop, knocking down jumpers from range, dropping dimes left and right, even gobbling up rebounds and swiping steals. Get this guy and hold onto him. He's a Dwayne Casey favorite now, which means his volume will only go up, especially if high-volume players like Bojan Bogdanovic get shipped to contenders ahead of the trade deadline.Jalen Duren, F/C, Pistons (67%). Duren can score effortle sly (and efficiently), bang with the best of the bigs on the boards, and swat shots better than most seasoned veterans. He rarely turns the ball over and shoots well from the stripe. He's a solid add and hold on a squad that should be moving Nerlens Noel, Bojan Bogdanovic, and maybe even Marvin Bagley Jr. soon.T.J. McConnell (65%) and Andrew Nembhard (14%), G, Pacers.McConnell has been an absolute stud since fringe All-Star and NBA a sists leader Tyrese Haliburton went down with a knee injury, ranking eighth in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. McConnell's averages during that span: 16 points, 8.6 Melvin Gordon III Jersey a sists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals, 67.5 percent from the field, 100 percent from the line. Put some sungla ses on that Top Gun. But the Goose to his Maverick at least until Hali returns will be backup point-man Andrew Nembhard, who should return from an illne s either Friday or Sunday. Nembhard has quietly averaged eight points, four a sists, three boards, and a steal this season, but his per-36 numbers suggest he's a must-roster at least in 14-team leagues and greater.Bruce Brown, G/F, Nuggets (60%).All Brown does is show up, hit open shots, create for others, pound the gla s, and play solid defense. There are plenty of reasons why Denver coach Mike Malone and back-to-back reigning MVP Nikola Jokic love this dude, and plenty of ways he can help your fantasy squad.Jalen Williams, G/F, Thunder (55%).Come on, how is this guy available in 45 percent of leagues? He's a smooth three-level scorer, a good rebounder and creator, and an above-average defender who regularly fills it up in 9-cat leagues. Don't let this dude or his sweet afro stay on the waiver wire with the bums.Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, G/F, Nuggets and Kyle Anderson, F, Timberwolves (both 53%) KCP is a steals maestro who occasionally drains a bunch of treys and throws in some a sists, while SloMo Anderson has taken on a larger role acro s the board since the Wolves lost Karl-Anthony Towns. Both should be on most 12-team rosters. The following five players are available in over 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and DeShawn Williams Jersey make for solid additions and streamers in standard 9-cat formats. Caris LeVert, G/F, Cavaliers (50 percent rostered).LeVert has always performed well as a starter, even dating back to his Nets' days, so the opportunity to start for Donovan Mitchell while the All-Star nurses a groin injury should produce immediate dividends for LeVert's fantasy investors. He's an elite one-on-one scorer with a smooth stroke and the ability to finish in traffic. He's an elite three-point shooter and he's averaging 16.3/4.8/4.5 as a starter
