Week 16 Fantasy Basketball - Waiver Wire and Buy/Sell

Week 15 was absolutely devastating to some owners, as the biggest news this week was the season-ending injury to New Orleans Pelicans center DeMarcus Cousins (torn Achilles tendon).

Lou Williams Cools Off With 22 Points

Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams hit nine of 22 shots on Sunday, finishing with 22 points and six dimes.
