No NBA Cup this time, but Friday comes packed with a 12-game extravaganza as we close in on Week 7 of fantasy basketball. And as always, we bring you the best pickups, streams and insights of the industry. 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.

Noah Clowney (31%)

Another big game for the forward even though, all of Brooklyn’s production is conditioned partially due to Michael Porter Jr. and Cam Thomas being out. Clowney managed to score 29 points with four boards and three blocks, and over his last 14 games, he averages 18.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.3 triples and a block in 33 minutes per game. The forward is probably one of the Nets’ more stable pieces at the moment, and it is realistic to see him continuing to put up 12-team value for the rest of the season in Jordi Fernandez’s rotation.

Kyle Filipowski (20%)
