Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 19 (2024-25): March 10 - March 16

Ty Jerome - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire, NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Dan's fantasy basketball waiver wire pickups for Week 19 of the 2024-25 NBA season. Consider these players as fantasy basketball adds, streamers, and stashes.

For many of you, the playoffs have arrived! There's no use holding onto injured players (without IL spots) when every game matters in H2H matchups! Planning out your moves and making timely adds will be crucial this week, especially with so many teams (both playoff teams and tanking teams) resting players so often.

Most leagues have a weekly moves cap, and some have season-long caps. Always check your league settings to plan how many moves you want to make each week. This week, I will include more names with shorter blurbs to give you many options!

I am a big advocate of being aggressive on the waiver wire! If your league has daily lineups, you should use that to your advantage and maximize your weekly games in H2H formats. I'll give you my top adds for standard leagues (20-40% rostered), deeper formats (less than 20% rostered) every week, and the schedule breakdown for all 30 teams. Let's see who we should be eyeing to add to our teams in Week 19!

Standard Leagues - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire for Week 19

Percent owned numbers for Yahoo! "Standard Leagues" refer to 10- or 12-team leagues.

Zach Collins - PF/C (36%)

After a dud against Orlando in which he was plagued with foul trouble, Collins bounced back last night with another huge double-double (18-15-3) and nailed four triples. I don't think we'll see Vucevic again this season, and Collins could be a league-winner for the stretch run.

He's a great complement for teams that excel in guard stats. He is a great passer and shooter but can also contribute big rebounding numbers.

Caris LeVert - SG/SF (35%)

LeVert was in fine form again last night, pouring in 26 points off the bench for the Hawks in their second close win over the Pacers in a row. He has settled into a valuable sixth-man role and is closing out games, playing minutes in the high 20s or low 30s. Snag him if you need some scoring punch, as he looks to be locked into this high-usage role with his new team.

Naji Marshall - SF/PF (35%)

Marshall has been carrying several of my squads this week and has been arguably the best Mavericks' player on the floor in their first few games without Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, P.J. Washington, and both of their centers.

Marshall is going to keep piling up big scoring and rebounding numbers until Dallas starts to get healthy and has a great schedule this week with some smash spots against the Spurs (twice) and Rockets.

Kyle Filipowski - PF/C (33%)

I added Filipowski to all of my teams where I have Walker Kessler as a huge insurance policy, and it's paying off in spades. The Duke rookie has been fantastic as a starter on nights that Kessler rests (and John Collins has been nowhere to be found), and he's played well off the bench as well.

Over the last two weeks, he's averaging 17 points, nine boards, three assists, and 2.4 made threes per game. Utah is going to keep tanking the rest of the way, so grab Filipowski now he's going to have value into April.

Ty Jerome - PG/SG (28%)

Whether Jerome wins Most Improved Player or Sixth Man of the Year, he's probably deserving of both. The combo guard out of Virginia has been unstoppable all season and is one of the reasons why the Cavs are having a historic season in Cleveland.

Over the last two weeks, Jerome ranks 66th on Yahoo with averages of 16-4-3 on 45% from the floor, 96% from the line, and 1.6 steals. With the Cavs likely to keep rotating their starters out for rest as they get closer to locking up the top seed in the East, Jerome should continue to play solid minutes and keep contributing at a high level.

Aaron Wiggins - SG/SF (28%)

I mentioned Wiggins last week as "boring production but can go off when the starters get rested." Well, that's what happened on Friday night when he dropped 30 points against the Blazers when OKC rested all of their regulars.

If you need some efficient scoring and threes, Wiggins has been as steady as can be.

Andrew Nembhard - PG/SG (28%)

The Pacers continue to deal with injuries, as Tyrese Haliburton has missed the last two games. Bennedict Mathurin did return to the lineup, but Nembhard is still the starting shooting guard and should continue to play 30+ minutes per night going forward.

He has 22 assists in his last two games, which won't last when Haliburton returns. But Nembhard is still a solid add candidate here, as he's a solid rebounder and defender at his position.

Keon Ellis - SG/SF (25%)

Ellis is thriving lately as he's been called upon to start for the injured Malik Monk. Anything he does on offense is a bonus, it's his defense that has been fantastic. In his last five games, Ellis has had 13 steals and nine blocks! He's a player who can help you win one or both defensive categories if he keeps playing heavy minutes.

Others to consider above 20% rostered

Aaron Nesmith - SF/PF (24%)

Dillon Brooks - SG/SF/PF (22%)

Matas Buzelis - SF/PF (21%)

 

Deeper Leagues - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire for Week 19

Percent owned numbers for Yahoo! "Deeper Leagues" refer to 14-team leagues or more.

Brandon Williams - PG (19%)

If you are adding Williams for the upcoming week, don't expect 31-5-6 every night, but I do think he has proved that he has more juice than the aging Spencer Dinwiddie and that he's going to have a role in the post-Kyrie Dallas landscape.

Bub Carrington - PG/SG (17%)

Jordan Poole returned to the lineup last night and it hurt Carrington's minutes and production. But I do think Washington is going to keep prioritizing getting their young rookies time down the stretch, so I won't be surprised when players like Khris Middleton, Malcolm Brogdon, and even Poole rest on back-to-backs.

Brandon Clarke - PF/C (17%)

Clarke (and the Memphis players in general) is nearly impossible to predict from week to week in terms of minutes and production. But right now, he's been the most productive big man in Memphis with three straight solid games. It's a dream set of matchups the next three nights against New Orleans, Phoenix, and Utah so if he's going to keep getting minutes, he has a great opportunity to put up some big numbers.

Duncan Robinson - SG/SF (17%)

I always value efficiency from players, and if you need a steady source of three-pointers without poor FG%, then Robinson is a great fit.

Moses Moody - SG/SF (10%)

Moody was dropped in a lot of leagues after a few very boring games in which he failed to crack double-digit points. But last night's performance was a great reminder of what kind of value he can produce as he went 12-7-3 with three steals in 36 minutes. It's low-end production, but Moody can chip in across the board and will probably see an uptick in minutes for as long as Brandin Podziemski is out.
