We are 15% of the way through the season and through four weeks of NBA basketball and as usual here are my Bruski 150 Waiver Wire plays for Week 4.

Anyway, without further ado let’s start digging out some diamonds

Outside of the paywall, here are FIVE PLAYERS from my TOP TEN WAIVER WIRE pickups from 200 player high stakes leagues (8-cat Roto), and then NBA FantasyPass subscribers get the rest (30 TOTAL PLAYS)

*Waiver Wire Rank in Parenthesis

Andre Drummond

C, Philadelphia Sixers

(1) Is it any surprise that Andre Drummond should be fostered in fantasy leagues? Not really, Joel Embiid is already missing games and Adem Bona will miss at least three games with an ankle injury that didn’t look great. The fascinating part about this is that Drummond looks as spry as I’ve seen him in the last five seasons or maybe more. He’s covering a lot of ground out there for a man his size and Philadelphia is straight up running pin downs for him in the corner and all of this is making them very dangerous with him on the floor.

He has always been a good per minute guy but it feels like he is in enough shape to handle more minutes. These could be the famous last words but maybe he just got in shape finally and along with the shooting everything is coming together for him late in his career. Late round value seems easy the rest of the way and he might be onto so much more.

Dillon Brooks

SF, Phoenix Suns

(2) This is more community service than anything because everybody should know that he is a most roster player at this point. He’s been a top-40 value when on the floor this season chucking up shots.

Collin Gillespie

PG, Phoenix Suns

(3) Gillispie had the expected lull (and a do not drop from this analyst) with Jalen Green’s brief appearance, followed by back issues and now quad cramping. Regardless, he got back on track with 15 points on five of 13 shooting with eight rebounds, seven assists, two steals, one three and a perfect four foul shots.
He is a top 120/140 value when on the floor this season in just 24 MPG, with averages of 10 points, 2.3 triples, four rebounds, five assists and 1.4 combined defensive stats. His shooting is down and due for a bounce back at 38.5% from the field and 76.5% from the foul line. Last year he shot 43% from the field and 43% from deep, and he shot 90% from the foul line his senior year at Villanova. Buy, buy, buy the B150 darling.

Moses Moody

SG, Golden State Warriors

(7) Moody is sitting on a top 90/100 start (9/8) with 13 points, three triples, three rebounds, 1.8 combined defensive stats and middle-of-the-road efficiency. We’ve been telling you to grab Moody for a while and the massive game on Sunday shouldn’t be a that much of a surprise. Golden State seems ready to cut him loose after all this time. He has a pretty good chance at top 80-100 production the rest of the season.

Derik Queen

C, New Orleans Pelicans

(10) Queen is a classic bad player/good stats situation percolating in New Orleans and it’s something you have to keep throwing a dart at in hopes of catching the wave at the right time. Whenever Zion returns it will get messy and complicated and that might be enough to keep this from being profitable until February, March and April.

NOW, THE REMAINING FIVE FROM THE TOP TEN AND THE REST OF OUR PICKUPS (Waiver Wire Rank in Parenthesis)
