The All-Star break is upon us and the trade deadline has passed so things are starting to come into focus the rest of the way. Or, at least they should be. However, with teams like the Pacers and Kings, among several, openly tanking, things continue to be quite murky as we prepare to enter the NBA’s silly season. Here are some players to consider grabbing off your league’s waiver wire. For the record, I could have written about 50 or more players, I narrowed it down to 27 for the sake of my sanity.

Isaiah Collier 43% rostered in Yahoo! leagues

Keyonte George is dealing with an ankle injury and could be rested down the stretch with the Jazz actively trying to lose games, while Collier has really stepped up in his absence. Coming into Wednesday’s game, Collier was averaging 19 points, 12 assists and 2.4 steals on 51% shooting in his five February games, which included three double-doubles and a 22-assist game. He did it again on Wednesday with another big double-double and it’s clear that he should be rostered everywhere at this point.

Jaime Jaquez 41%
