Fantasy Hoops Waiver-Wire Bin, Vol. 12

I’ve scoured the fantasy basketball waiver wire to find gems so that you don’t have to. Here they are...

Guard

Eddie House, Boston

Eddie has been lights out, especially from downtown. In his last four games, he’s averaging 19.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals, and 5.5 three-pointers. He shot 60 percent from the floor and 69 percent from the three three-point line. He has a $500,000 salary cap number in the Sporting News Salary Cap game, and is owned in just 5.1 percent of ESPN leagues and 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues. He qualifies at both PG and SG, making him a versatile pickup.
 

Ronald “Flip” Murray, Atlanta

Flip has been putting the hot in Hotlanta. In his last five games, he’s averaging 17.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.0 three-pointers. He shot 55 percent from the floor, 70.8 percent from the line, and 35.7 percent from downtown. He also has a $500,000 SN cap number, and is owned in 1.9 percent of ESPN leagues and 8 percent of Yahoo leagues. 

Forward

Brandon Bass, Dallas

Bass has been Boss in Big D. In his last three games, he’s averaging 14.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.7 blocks. He shot 51.9 percent from the floor without missing a free throw. He also has a $500,000 SN cap number, and is owned in 1.3 percent of ESPN leagues and 6 percent of Yahoo leagues.

Shane Battier, Houston

Another Texas player who has played well recently. In his last four games, Battier is averaging 7.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals, 1.3 blocks, and 2.0 three-pointers. He shot 52.9 percent from the floor, 2-for-2 from the line, and 61.5 percent from 3-point range. He has a SN cap number of $2.4 million, and is owned in 64.3 percent of ESPN leagues and 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Center

Joakim Noah, Chicago

Noah has been playing at a high level as well. In his last five games, he’s averaging 8.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.4 steals, and 3.2 blocks. He shot 58.6 percent from the floor and 46.2 percent from the line. He has a SN cap number of $1.79 million, and is owned in 56.9 percent of ESPN leagues and 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues. He's another multi-position qualifier, as he qualifies at power forward and center.
