NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 19

A little over 20 games remain in the NBA, once the league resumes from the All-Star break. More than likely you like (or hate) your fantasy basketball team and are searching the waiver wire for one of two things: either someone who comes on late from out of nowhere, or a gang of players to stream based on matchups.

This week's Standard League Adds focus on young players who should receive an increase in minutes and thus a kickstart in their fantasy value as well.

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 19

Larry Nance, Jr. , PF/C  Cleveland Cavaliers

Ownership: 49%

8.6 PPG / 6.8 REB / 1.2 STL / . 601 FG%

When Cleveland completely revamped their roster, Larry Nance, Jr. was one of the main pieces that was supposed to help get the Cavs back on track. He's only played two games in "The Land," but if his last contest is any indication, Nance should have a very productive final two months. In that game, Nance scored 13 points, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes.

While he was lost in a loaded front court in Los Angeles, Nance should see plenty of time at both power forward and center, especially with Kevin Love injured. The Cavs rebuilt their roster to be younger and more athletic. Nance checks all those boxes and should be a nice find for Cleveland's last 26 games.

Taurean Prince, SF – Atlanta Hawks

Ownership 44%

12.2 PPG / 4.7 REB / .416 FG% / 1.2 3PT

Prince has had a mild breakout year in his second season in the league. After starting just 10 out of 59 games last year, Prince has started all 59 of the Hawks games this season. He is averaging 12.2 points while playing almost 30 minutes a game. Those numbers should go up as Atlanta will spend its last 23 games playing its younger players to start the rebuilding process once again.

Prince seemed to finally find his way out of a winter slump that saw him average just 9.1 points and shooting 34 percent from the field. In eight February games, Prince's average is back up. He is scoring 13.8 points per game and his usage rate is at 24.9 percent. That would rank him top-30 among NBA starters.

Prince is very much in Atlanta's plan going forward and has become the second offensive option behind Dennis Schroder. There's no reason to think the best is yet to come from the second-year player out of Baylor.

Reggie Bullock, SG/SF – Detroit Pistons

Ownership 31%

9.6 PPG / 2.3 REB / 1.8 3pT / .508 FG&

Sometimes the biggest beneficiaries from a blockbuster trade are the ancillary parts. Bullock definitely falls under that category. Since Blake Griffin arrived in Detroit, Bullock is averaging 17 points, 3 threes,  while shooting a blistering 46 percent from three.

Since December, when Bullock became a starter, Bullock is averaging a little over 11.0 points per game, shooting 49.1 percent from 3-point range and holding an effective field-goal percentage of 67.8.

Head Coach Stan Van Gundy has increased Bullock's minutes each month, playing a career-high 34 minutes per game in February. Through eight games this month, he is closing in on surpassing new highs for a month in points, rebounds, assists and threes.

Van Gundy has long praised Bullock and said the only thing limiting him was his shooting. Now that he's fixed that, who knows where he'll be at season's end.
