NBA Waiver Wire: Wings (SG/SF, SF, SF/PF) for Week 22

Milos Zvekic's Week 22 fantasy basketball waiver wire pickups and adds for NBA wings - small forwards, power forwards, shooting guards (SG/SF, SF, SF/PF).

Congratz to all of you who have successfully surpassed the first obstacle towards your Fantasy NBA title, and won your Quarter-final matchup last week. But forget about that now, it's time to look ahead and book your ticket to the final.

Streaming plays a large role in these situations, and adding the right player at the right time could mean the difference between lifting the cup and being left in the dust.

If you're searching for a Wing to fill out your fantasy team look no more! Our three players for this week have all been in a rise of form, and just at the right time for fantasy owners I might add. In addition to this, they all have a favorable schedule for the rest of this week, for one reason or another. Here are our Week 22 waiver wire pickups for the wing spot here at RotoBaller.

Featured Promo: New Novig users get a $25 purchase match (50% discount up to $25) on your first Novig deposit, and 6 free months of RotoBaller's "Big-4" Premium Pass (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL) which includes exclusive tools for Betting, Props, DFS and more! CLAIM IT NOW

 

Standard League Waiver Wire Wing Adds

Ersan Ilyasova, SF/PF, ATL 48% Owned)

Ersan Ilyasova is currently at his third club this season. After not getting enough run with the Thunder and got traded to the 76ers. There he performed very well, despite most expectations, and was a must-own option during his time in Philly. Then "The Process" struck again in Philadelphia and Ghostface Ilya was moved once again, this time for some second round picks. His final destination for this season is Atlanta. Finally some stability for poor Ersan.

It wasn't clear what his role with the Hawks will be, but he adapted pretty quickly and proved to be a good acquisition for the contending Hawks. His role further increased with the injuries to both Kent Bazemore and Paul Millsap. Bazemore suffered a right knee bone bruise and will be re-evaluated in about a week, while Millsap is having trouble with his left knee and is out for the game on March 22 against the Wizards and is even questionable for the following game on March 24 against the Bucks.

All that has propelled Ilyasova into a solid streaming option. In his previous two he averaged a team-high 18 points with 3.5 threes on 54.5 percent from the field and 71.4 percent from the charity stripe, 5.0 boards, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.5 turnovers in 28 minutes per game. Those kind of stats are worth owning in most leagues, especially if the FT% doesn't mess your team up too much.

To be honest, Ilya shouldn't be able to keep this up for much longer, although he could still keep some of his value even after the injured starters return. But in the short-term he could prove to be a brilliant pickup. Even more so due to his Hawks having three more games to play this week.

 

Jamal Crawford, SG/SF, LAC (43% Owned)

I really hope you had the opportunity to pick Jamal Crawford up near the beginning of fantasy playoffs. He's had six games already since, and has another three coming up before the week ends. Furthermore, two of those three games are on five-game nights, so he is still a valuable streaming option.

He backed up his case for a strong pick up with his performances, as well as his schedule. In the previous three Jamal is averaging 14.0 PTS with 2.3 3PM on 48.4 FG% and 83.3 FT%, 1.7 REB, 2.0 AST, 0.7 STL, no blocks and 1.7 TO in 29 minutes a game. And all that with the Clippers in full strength, which hasn't happened too often this season mind you.

Crawford is a constant three-point threat and with the minutes and stats he's been posting lately, if your team could use such a specialist you should go for it. Especially if you take into consideration how lovely his schedule must fit in with your fantasy team's.

Other options: Rondae Hollis Jefferson, SG/SF/PF, BKN (52% Owned) and Brandon Ingram, SG/SF, LAL (56% Owned)

 

Deep League Waiver Wire Wing Adds

P.J. Tucker, SG/SF, TOR (15% Owned)

P.J. Tucker was just getting hot when he got traded to the Raptors. There weren't many who believed that he will keep enough of his fantasy value to appeal to fantasy owners in most leagues. And it didn't seem too promising in the first three weeks or so, with Tucker playing very inconsistent minutes, and producing in that same way. He was getting minutes as low as 13 and as high as 38 per game, and hasn't scored in double-digits in a Toronto jersey yet.

In his last three, he hasn't been that bad in the scoring department though getting 8.3 PTS with 1.7 3PM on 47.6 FG% and no attempts from the line. But he made his owners forget all about his previous shooting woes by getting 8.3 rebounds, 1.7 dimes, 2.0 steals, no blocks and 0.7 turnovers in 29 minutes per game in that same bunch of games.

Now while P.J. is more of a deep league option, he could come in handy as a streamer for owners who are desperate for games on Thursday and Saturday, as Toronto plays on both of those five-game nights, even though those are the only games he plays this week. So if you're in the market for a wing of Tucker's abilities, and your league is deep enough that other, safer options are gone, give him a look.

Other options: Solomon Hill, SG/SF, NO (28% Owned) and Denzel Valentine, SG/SF, CHI (26% Owned)
