Hot start for Tim Hardaway Jr. highlights early moves

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter: A Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Gem

It’s still early in the NBA season, but already the waiver wires are starting to thin out. Injuries and trades keep things interesting, making it crucial to stay alert and trust your instincts. One player who’s catching attention is Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter. Despite a slow start, Huerter has shown glimpses of his potential in recent games. With De’Aaron Fox sidelined, Huerter may see an increase in production in the coming week. He’s coming off a career season and has the potential to heat up just as the competition for him increases.

Teammates Malik Monk and Davion Mitchell are also worth considering in fantasy leagues, depending on your needs. Monk has been performing well in points leagues, while Mitchell is a solid option in deeper formats.

Another player to keep an eye on is Tim Hardaway Jr. of the Dallas Mavericks. He’s been on fire, putting up impressive numbers in points, rebounds, and assists. If he’s still available in your league, now is the time to pick him up and take advantage of his hot start.

Jalen Suggs and Cole Anthony of the Orlando Magic are two more players to consider. Suggs provides solid defensive stats, while Anthony has been efficient and effective in his play. With an injury to Markelle Fultz, both players could see increased value.

Dillon Brooks of the Houston Rockets is also worth a look. He’s been enjoying his new team, putting up impressive numbers in scoring, three-point shooting, and steals. While his percentages may come back down to earth, his consistent production and heavy minutes make him a valuable asset.

Christian Wood of the Los Angeles Lakers has seen an increase in playing time and has taken advantage of it. With the potential for more minutes as the backup big man, Wood is a great streaming option for the upcoming week and a possible stash candidate.

Utah Jazz center Kelly Olynyk may not be a flashy option for points leagues, but his well-rounded production and extreme efficiency make him a valuable asset in category leagues. He consistently contributes in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and three-point shooting.

Grayson Allen of the Phoenix Suns is off to a strong start, posting career highs in several categories. With Bradley Beal sidelined, Allen has the opportunity to make a significant impact for fantasy teams.

Talen Horton-Tucker of the Utah Jazz is a decent pickup in most formats. While his shooting percentage may need improvement, he contributes across multiple categories and has the potential for increased value with better shooting and rebounding.

Alex Caruso of the Chicago Bulls is a modest contributor offensively but makes up for it with well-rounded production in rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and three-point shooting. He can be a valuable asset in leagues that value multiple categories.

Lonnie Walker IV of the Brooklyn Nets is a player to keep an eye on. With strong performances in points, assists, rebounds, and three-point shooting, Walker could enjoy a breakout season if he continues to produce.

T.J. McConnell of the Indiana Pacers is worth considering, especially with Tyrese Haliburton dealing with an ankle injury. McConnell has proven himself as a consistent contributor when given the opportunity.

Dario Saric of the Golden State Warriors may not have the best shooting numbers, but his impact on the boards and passing ability make him a natural fit in the team’s offense. He’s a player to monitor as the season progresses.
