9-Category Leagues - Waiver Wire Adds

This column is written based on H2H 9-category 12-team leagues. All players in this article are rostered at around 50 percent or less.

Isaiah Jackson, F/C - Indiana Pacers - 40% rostered 

Jackson's seen a big increase in minutes over the last couple of games, playing 28 minutes against the Hawks and then 26 against the Grizzlies.

In those two games, Jackson had a combined...

*checks to make sure I'm reading this right*

11 BLOCKS. 11! And he also had double-digit points in each game, plus 10 boards against the Hawks. Positional value is important here, because finding contributions at center off the wire can be tough, so while there will be guys farther down this list who might put up "better" numbers, Jackson is my top add because of the blocks and the positional scarcity.

T.J. McConnell, G - Indiana Pacers - 43% rostered 

Looking for assists? Then you'll want to grab T.J. McConnell if he's still on your wire, as the veteran guard has now dished out seven or more of them in three straight games.

And he's also scored in double figures in each of those games as well. And if you want the cherry on top, he's got multiple steals in each of those plus has shot 54.5% or better each night. And had at least seven rebounds in each game.

The only real knock right now? He's a guard who doesn't shoot threes, as he's made just one three-pointer in the last seven games. But if you can afford the trade-off of not getting threes from someone with guard eligibility, then McConnell is appealing.

Joe Harris, G/F - Brooklyn Nets - 16% rostered 

The obvious reason to pick up Joe Harris remains the same reason that there's always been to pick up Harris: his shooting.

He's had some slumps this year, but he's coming off one of his best games of the year, scoring 18 points and knocking down four threes in a loss to the Celtics.

With Kevin Durant sidelined with a sprained MCL, the Nets will need to rely more on Harris than they have all year. Expect him to be one of the team's top scorers while Durant is out.

Trey Lyles, F/C - Sacramento Kings - 12% rostered 

Lyles has scored in double figures in four consecutive games, making at least one three-pointer in each of those. He's coming off a really fun couple of games against the Rockets, with 20 points, seven rebounds, two blocks and three threes in the first one, then 13 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in the second one. He played 30 minutes in that second contest.

The increase in minutes is what's most notable here. The Kings have room for Lyles to be a huge part of this team off the bench, and if he keeps his recent level of play up, then I'd expect they'll keep finding ways to get him on the court.

Donte DiVincenzo, G - Golden State Warriors - 22% rostered 

DiVincenzo scored 22 points last game out against the Spurs, plus added seven rebounds, five assists and two steals while draining four three-pointers.

He's going to lose some minutes with the Warriors healthier now than they've been in awhile, but he'll remain a good source of threes and steals, and he has the occasional scoring outburst, even if there will be nights where his shot's off.
