Seth Curry (SG, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

January 29, 2023

Seth Curry is worth considering as a fantasy basketball waiver wire pickup heading into Week 16 of the 2022-23 NBA season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues

ANALYSIS: The Brooklyn Nets keep winning games even with Kevin Durant still healing his injury. Ben Simmons got canned from Saturday's lineup against the Knicks and Seth Curry proved more than capable of shooting the ball, something Ben doesn't have a clue what is about.

In other words, Curry is here to stay and to keep firing and getting buckets while KD's scoring prowess is missing in BK (he's not expected back until after the All-Star break). Curry has started three games this month, but he's an off-the-piner by nature. Not that we are concerned about that, though, far from it.

Curry has scored at least eight points in all matches played this month. That's the bad angle, mind you. The good one: he's scored at least 11 points in 11 of 12 games staged in January for an actual average of 16+ PPG this month. Uh oh. Seth has also hit 1+ 3PM in 13 consecutive games going back to New Year's Eve.

The younger of the Chefs is averaging 2.8 three-pointers per game this month along with those 16 points and a 2+ RPG, 2+ APG, and 1+ stock a pop through the month. The shooting is ridiculous with Seth hitting 72-of-135 FGA in January for a 53.3% accuracy from the floor while hitting treys at a 50.7% clip this month.

Nobody has hit a higher percentage of long-range shots in January while taking at least 65 3PA through Saturday. Only Keegan Murray and Harrison Barnes (system babies as both play for the Kings) have topped a 50 3P%.
