With 14 games and 28 teams taking the court tonight, there are countless storylines to follow. From the best adds in the league to key streaming opportunities, this is one of the busiest slates of the season. We break it all down for you on todayโs Fantasy Basketball Cheat Sheet, giving you the insights you need to maximize your moves and stay ahead of your competition.
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.
Grayson Allen (28%)
Grayson Allen has been one of the more underrated early-season fantasy pieces, showing promise before injuries slowed his production. For managers spotting him on the waiver wire, now is the moment to act. With the latest update on Jalen Greenโs injury keeping him sidelined for at least another 2-3 weeks, Allen will continue to see more consistent minutes and touches, giving him a clear opportunity to contribute at a high level. Fantasy GMs should view Allen as a low-risk add with upside that is ready to materialize.
Kyle Filipowski (25%)

From the cliffs of Porto Moniz to the forests of Latvia. With a degree in business and a background in finance, I traded balance sheets for projection models, following a lifelong love of the game. Iโve played it, Iโve lived it and Iโve had the privilege of working inside team front offices at both the club and national level.
For over 20 years, Iโve also been immersed in the world of Fantasy Basketball, studying trends, finding edges and living the grind season after season. That passion has brought me here, to SportsEthos, where Iโm honored to be part of our management team alongside the great Aaron Bruski. My mission is simple: help SportsEthos thrive as the premier home for Fantasy Sports and sports coverage. A place where users get real value and where every member of the team can sharpen their craft, find joy in the work and build something special that feels like home.
