Anyone worth adding with Oubre out?

The highly anticipated GSW-DEN game was labeled as a ‘Western Conference Finals preview.’ Natalie and Liv Moods made an appearance on Brother From Another to dissect the Warriors and Nuggets’ matchup, focusing on the performances of Steph Curry and Nikola Jokic in what was deemed an early Western Conference Finals preview.

Despite a slow Saturday slate with only four games, fantasy managers are still on the lookout for potential moves, especially with the news of Kelly Oubre’s injury. Oubre was hit by a car, and it’s projected that he will be sidelined for a significant period. This leaves fantasy managers wondering if there are any viable replacements to consider and any other noteworthy players to add before the week concludes.

First up on the list of potential additions are Nicolas Batum and Robert Covington, who have seen varied playing time but have both displayed their unique strengths. They have shown promise, with Covington offering a risk/reward option and Batum with a lower ceiling but a higher floor. Philadelphia’s game against Indiana on Sunday will shed light on how the rotation will shape up in Oubre’s absence.

Next, Cam Payne has grabbed attention with his consistent performance while filling in for the injured Damian Lillard. Jalen Suggs, who has been producing stellar numbers, is an unmissable addition available in half of all Yahoo leagues. Sam Hauser, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Haywood Highsmith have all displayed their potential and are worth considering as fantasy pickups. Finally, Bismack Biyombo’s impressive stats over three starts provide a compelling case for adding him to fantasy rosters before his playing situation potentially changes.

In addition to these players, several others with varying roster percentages are mentioned, including Caris LeVert, Kyle Lowry, Killian Hayes, and more, all of whom are potential candidates for fantasy team additions.
