Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Danuel House Jr. is a worthy consideration as a fantasy basketball waiver wire pickup heading into Week 16 of the NBA season.
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 25% of leagues
ANALYSIS: It makes sense to find House rostered in one out of every four leagues at the very least. Not only has he been putting on a show lately, but Danuel House Jr. has actually been a good player and top-80 player on the full season for these Rockets. House started 29 of his first 31 games played, and although he missed eight starts in a row during this past month he's come back to the starting lineup in two of the last three games played by Houston.
House will probably keep limited to an off-the-bench role going forward barring trade-deadline moves from the Rockets. Even with that, House has averaged 27 minutes off the bench and 42 (!) in the two games he has started this past week. In that full 11-game span House has kept up a more than good 10-5-1-1 line while shooting 40.6% from the floor with a very limited usage rate (12.6%).
With such teammates as James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and even Clint Capela and Eric Gordon it is reasonable to think he won't be getting many more chances to shoot and boost his numbers. That being said, he's already putting up nice lines while limited, so he should be a clear target in any league if he's still available.
