• Tonightโ€™s slate is a classic case of finding value in the shadows, where minutes, opportunity, and category versatility define streaming potential. With a mix of rotation shifts, injuries, and deep-league upside, managers can target players who contribute across multiple stats without being headline grabbers.

    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.

    Zach Edey & Keegan Murray (35% & 31%)

    Edey is on the brink of returning from left ankle surgery, having been assigned to the G League for practice. For managers in 12-team formats, this is your chance to grab a big man who can immediately impact multiple categories: elite rebounding, strong blocks and high-efficiency field goal percentage. Heโ€™s likely to supplant Jock Landale as Memphisโ€™ starting center and while patience will be required as heโ€™s eased back into the rotation, the upside is too significant to ignore.

    Keegan Murray is another player worth stashing before his activation. His value is straightforward but potent: 3-pointers, solid rebounding, and defensive contributions. Once heโ€™s back in Sacramentoโ€™s rotation, Murray has top-100 upside and the potential for even more if the Kings pivot toward a rebuild or shake up the roster.

    Reed Sheppard (30%)
