Fantasy Basketball Playoffs Waiver Wire Pickups for April 2nd – 8th
Apr 1, 2012 Blog Leave a comment
There’s four weeks left in the regular season and everyone should be starting their playoffs this week or already be into their second round of playoffs. I’ve got a few teams that barely limped into the playoffs and are facing top seeds and the list of players below are some guys who are longshots, but could produce some big nights to help you defeat those powerful top seeded playoff opponents.
Point Guard
Baron Davis (NYK) – Jeremy Lin’s Cinderella run came to a quick end with a serious knee injury that will probably knock him out for the rest of the season. Davis has been patiently waiting his turn and will likely give it some extra effort now that he’s playing for a team where the games actually mean something.
Donald Sloan (CLE) – Kyrie Irving missed Saturday’s game with a shoulder injury and Sloan got the start. He put up a decent line going for 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Keep an eye on Irving’s injury status and give Sloan a play if Irving misses more time.
Gilbert Arenas (MEM) – Mike Conley missed Saturday’s game with a shoulder injury and Arenas got 17 minutes of run, putting up 4 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. I don’t think he’s going to get more than 25 minutes of action in any game, but if you are desperate for a PG, Arenas has the ability to get hot and turn in the occasional big night.
Shooting Guard
Iman Shumpert (NYK) – I’ve actually seen Shumpert still floating around on a few wires, but he should be grabbed with the loss of Jeremy Lin. If Baron Davis goes down and injury, and he probably will, then Shumpert will be the man in the backcourt.
George Hill (IND) – Hill is either all or nothing. He’s scored 9, 4, 0, 0 and 24 points in his last five games and reached 30 minutes in two of them. The best thing he offers is the ability for across the board stats, especially steals. He won’t hurt you in any category and he helps in just about every one.
Anthony Morrow (NJN) – How aggravating is Anthony Morrow? He’s been one of my most inconsistent plays, but he has such a high upside that he’s worth the gamble if you need a huge night to save your playoff round. He went for 24 points Saturday, making 6 three pointers. If you need to make up ground in the three category, Morrow is a must play.
Randy Foye/Nick Young (LAC) – These two are locked into a timeshare, but I get the feeling that Foye will soon win this battle, which is a little surprising.
Avery Bradley (BOS) – As long as Ray Allen remains out, Bradley is a must pickup for the fantasy playoffs. Even when Allen returns, I expect that the Celtics will continue to be really careful with him, which means Bradley will probably still be getting decent minutes.
Alec Burks (UTA) – Burks is a great pickup for guys in keeper leagues and he can also provide some playoff help with his scoring ability.
Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for this Week’s Fantasy Basketball Playoffs

Just about every league I’m in is starting the playoffs this week, and if you need a little help, the following list of players might fill some holes in your roster for the stretch run. These guys aren’t stars and most of the time they’ll have mediocre nights, but if you’re in a daily transaction league and need to gamble on a big fantasy playoff performance, these guys are solid bets for some big numbers this week.
Point Guard
CJ Watson (CHI) – If the Bulls continue to hold Derrick Rose out with his groin injury, Watson is a must play in leagues that allow daily transactions. He’s had some solid games in Rose’s absence and can put up decent points, assists and steals. Read More..
