Another round of the NBA Cup awaits for us, with nine games that should have top-notch level, or at least we hope so. As long as we don’t have nine blowouts, it’s safe to say we’ll all be fine.

As usual, we have the top storylines, streamers and more for your fantasy team to get an edge in the closing of Week 4 of the fantasy basketball season.

Top Pickups

This is the “general must-add” section regardless of the slate. If these players are being overlooked and remain chilling on the waiver wire, consider adding them to your squad.

Ace Bailey (28%)

The young forward notched his second consecutive 20-point performance after dropping 21 against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night. He also grabbed five boards, four 3-pointers and two steals to complement his best game so far through his young career.

Bailey showed a lot of potential during the preseason and as his minutes started limited due to injuries and an illness, it seems he’s finally picking up the amount of minutes he should be getting, with a season-high of 31 on Thursday. It’s time to pick him up, otherwise it’ll be too late for you.

Max Christie (16%)

I know you might think that the Mavericks’ injuries have a lot to do with Christie’s minutes being high, but I beg to differ. This kid has been a very efficient player ever since he landed in Dallas from the Luka Doncic trade, Jason Kidd has no reason to not play him after getting such good results in the past games.

Averaging 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and shooting 43.3% from deep in 30.3 minutes during his last 10 games, you can be confident he’s part of the Mavs present and future moving forward.

Brandon Williams (18%)
