NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 13

Injuries to stars have allowed lesser used players to make major dividends in fantasy basketball.

Heading into Week 13, you can still find major help on the wire in the starting five, the bench, as well as injury replacements.

As a reminder, for standard (10-12 team) league adds, we use a general rule of thumb of an ownership rate of under 50% on Yahoo. All position eligibility based on Yahoo leagues.

Standard League Adds for Week 13

E'Twuan Moore PG/SG/SF  New Orleans Hornets

Ownership: 42%

13.2 PPG / 2.1 AST / 1.7 3PT / . 546 FG%

It's rare that the fifth option on a team struggling for a playoff position would have fantasy value, but Moore is the exception. It's his efficiency that makes Moore a solid grab in all leagues. The seven-year vet has a .640 true shooting percentage while averaging 1.7 threes per game. He also has not played less than 2o minutes this season, averaging 32 minutes per game. He is averaging career-highs in points, rebounds, assists, field goal percentage, and three-point percentage.

Over his last six games, Moore is averaging 14.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.3 threes while shooting over 62 percent. Those numbers equate to a top-70 ranking in 9-cat leagues. New Orleans also boasts one of the top offenses in the league, averaging 110.8 (4th best) points per game. This team is only getting better, which is good news for Moore and those who grab him off the wire.

Bismack Biyombo, PF/C – Orlando Magic

Ownership 44%

4.8 PPG / 5.4 REB / 1.2 BLK / .497 FG%

When Nikola Vucevic went down with a fractured second metacarpal in his left hand, no one expected Biyombo to pick up the entire load Vucevic left behind. Not many expected Biyombo to thrive in his new starting role.

Since Vucevic's injury on December 23, Biyombo is averaging 8.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.3 blocks while shooting nearly 49 percent from the field and over 85 percent from the free throw line. That two week stretch sets his value at around the fourth or fifth round.

This is not a long-term add and should be viewed as merely a temporary replacement. Vucevic isn't expected back until after the All-Star break. Orlando has 16 more games until that point. Use him while you can, because the moment Vucevic comes back Biyombo will be worth nothing more than a daily replacement should Vucevic take the occasional game off.

Delon Wright, PG/SG – Toronto Raptors

Ownership 30%

8.8 PPG / 2.4 AST / 1.2 STL / .509 FG%

Toronto Raptors starting point guard Kyle Lowry's fall on Monday was scary. While X-rays are negative, there is no timetable for his return. Which means you should not hesitate on picking up backup Delon Wright.

Before Lowry's injury, Wright had been a top-15 player since the start of the new year, averaging 14.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.7 threes on 63 percent shooting from the floor and 83 percent from the line. His season average .624 true shooting percentage should tell you that this is no fluke. His minutes have fluctuated a bit this season, but when he gets more than 20 minutes his numbers really flourish. Dwane Casey has started to let the former Utah point guard run, and it's paying off.

Wright is an add in any league, even as a backup. With Lowry out, Wright will give you aid across the board. An asset rarely found that can help both in points and category leagues yet owned at merely 30 percent.
