We’re at it again in another Friday edition of the Daily Cheat Sheet, approaching the most important moment of the season where teams make it, or break. Guide your team to the postseason following the best insights, pickups, streamers and everything else we bring you here at SportsEthos. Let’s get to it.

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.

Kelly Oubre Jr. (23%)

The veteran wing has played over 30 minutes in his last three games and most importantly, his production has been steadily improving, with Thursday’s OT victory against the Houston Rockets being his best game so far since coming back from his knee injury: 26 points, four triples, four rebounds, three assists and a block. Philadelphia is a crowded team whenever all their stars play together, however, Oubre Jr. is a serviceable player whose profile should get numbers regardless of whether he is in the starting lineup or not. This is your opportunity to get him before he heats up even more.
