I am going to recommend that you check out The Week Ahead here as an aid to help your plan out your moves during the week. This article helps you for the daily specifics “on the ground” compared to the broader view of the entire week.

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.

Moussa Diabate (26%)

Diabate had 12 points, 11 rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes with Ryan Kalkbrenner (left ankle sprain) sidelined. Kalkbrenner was questionable (and then downgraded to doubtful) before being ruled out, so it doesn’t seem like a severe sprain. Diabate actually did not start, but Mason Plumlee only saw 22 minutes as the starter. I think Diabate has mild standalone value with Kalkbrenner anyway, so he is a player worth your consideration.

Noah Clowney (17%)
