Injuries are mounting in the NBA and waiver wires should be hopping. Guys like Derik Queen, Grayson Allen, Daniss Jenkins, Cedric Coward and De’Andre Hunter are rostered in a lot of leagues but it’s worth checking your waiver wire to make sure they’re not available in yours. They should all be rostered everywhere. Here are my top pickups right now.

Must Adds

Derik Queen, F/C,  New Orleans Pelicans, 26% rostered in Yahoo! leagues

Queen had 30 points, nine rebounds, four assists, two steals, two blocks and a 3-pointer on 12-of-18 shooting in Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets. He came into that one averaging nearly 12 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks. He’s not going to get you many 3- pointers and could eventually hit a rookie wall, but it was also notable that he effectively shared the court with Zion Williamson on Wednesday night.

Grayson Allen, G/F, Phoenix Suns, 39% rostered
