We have four days left this week (Thursday to Sunday) and six days next week — there are no games on Saturday, April 11 — before the end of the 2025-26 regular season. Before we get into the important stuff, I want to discuss one player.

Franz Wagner (87%)
Key Note(s): Returned on Wednesday

Wagner’s potential remaining games will be on Friday, one of the Sunday-Monday games, next Wednesday, Friday and the final Sunday of the regular season.
The Sunday-Monday back-to-back features games vs. the Pelicans (Sunday) and the Pistons (Monday), so Wagner might get the day off on Sunday, or maybe he doesn’t because the Magic will want to ensure they win that game, so he rests on Monday instead. We will see.

On Wednesday night (yesterday), Wagner had 12 points, one rebound and two assists in 20 minutes. You can expect him to get more minutes gradually, but he may not necessarily deliver substantial 12-team value until the final couple of games. That makes him a little bit of a risk, but I would say they may want to “get him going” by next Wednesday or Friday, or maybe they just want to ensure that he “survives” the regular season so they can unleash him for the Play-In or playoffs.

With all of that considered, I do not think Wagner is guaranteed to deliver 12-team value. For H2H leagues, he isn’t a must-grab and likely isn’t a must-hold either, especially if your league ends this week. For roto, obviously, you can just bench him and risk a games-cap whenever you feel like it.

Here is the article layout:

• Double-Check Zone: Players who should be on a 12-team roster, but whose roster percentages suggest some leagues are lagging behind.
• Standard Leagues: Players worth an add in standard leagues with a potential path to value over a decent stretch of time (or the season).
• Streamers, Maybe More: Players on a hot streak and a path to short-term value with a smaller chance of long-term upside if certain things break their way.
• Watch-List: Players who may not quite be surefire adds yet, but should be monitored in case they trend up.
• Deep Leagues: Lower-rostered players who should be available in 14-team or 16-team leagues and beyond.
• Weekend Watch: A quick look at teams with strong or poor weekend schedules if you’re planning on some very short-term pickups.

Double-Check Zone

Most of these players will be rostered in competitive leagues, but we get just enough questions about them to warrant another call-out. These are your priority adds and if anyone on this list is still available, thank your lucky stars.

Stephen Curry (98%)
Key Note(s): Targeting return on Sunday

Players like Curry rarely actually have substantial rust and he was a first-round producer per game in the 39 games that he played this season, producing 27.2 points, 4.5 triples, 3.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.1 steals and aiding FT% with a .931 conversion rate on 5.2 attempts per game. Even if he is a little muted, 80 percent of what he was doing before is a high-end fantasy producer.

Curry’s remaining potential games would be on Sunday, next Tuesday, presumably only one of the Thursday-Friday back-to-back games and the regular-season finale on Sunday, April 12.

Reed Sheppard (52%)
Key Note(s): 14.4 points, 3.3 triples, 4.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 2.1 steals, 1.0 blocks in 28.9 MPG from March 20 to March 31

Sheppard’s fantasy upside that we harped on about all season has finally been realized. We do have to remember that he barely played in his rookie season, so there was likely a bit of a learning and adjustment curve for him to figure things out and gain confidence this season. Seriously, look at those stats!

Maxime Raynaud (43%)
Key Note(s): Top-65 9-cat per game in past two months averaging 16.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, .588 FG%, .818 FT% in 31.2 MPG (26 games)

Raynaud has slowed down a little lately, but he is still a double-double threat with some inconsistent production in other areas. Keep counting on his upside; although, Russell Westbrook seemed to favor Raynaud and feed him a lot, so maybe the “lull in production” recently is partially because Westbrook has been sidelined. I do think Raynaud is still must-roster overall, however.

Donte DiVincenzo (42%)
Key Note(s): Has totaled 54 points, 15 3-pointers, three steals, three blocks, six assists in his past three games.

DiVincenzo had a slump during many fantasy managers’ playoffs and that sucked. During the course of the entire regular season, I would always advise to hold him because he is a player who gets treated unfairly for fantasy. One bad week and he gets dropped, then he is good again for another two or three weeks or longer. DiVincenzo seems to have found his form again. During your fantasy playoffs, I was on board with dropping him during the slump and because the Wolves had that two-game week, but right now, he belongs on rosters again, 100 percent.

Tobias Harris (37%)
Key Note(s): Averaging 5.1 APG since the contest that Cade Cunningham (lung) exited back on March 17

Harris doesn’t have the extra scoring gear anymore (13.8 PPG, 1.1 triples per game), but the added assists with 5.9 RPG, 0.5 SPG and 1.3 BPG with good percentages equates to mid-round fantasy appeal since Cunningham went down.

Daniss Jenkins (36%)
Key Note(s): I would be shocked if he is available in any ongoing league

I blurbed this on Tuesday:
Jenkins has undoubtedly already helped some fantasy managers win their league last week, but anyone with an ongoing league is also seeing the benefits. In his eight consecutive starts, Jenkins is averaging 18.5 points, 2.1 triples, 4.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.3 blocks with a .451 FG%, .931 FT% on 3.9 attempts per game and 3.1 turnovers in 36.2 MPG. That equates to top-80 9-cat and top-55 8-cat value per game and he isn’t even providing as many steals as expected. It could actually be better.

Honorable Mention(s): Precious Achiuwa (37%), Saddiq Bey (43%)

Standard Leagues

These players are either approaching 12-team value or have already seized it but every fantasy league may not have caught on to that yet. They may not be guaranteed to hold ROS value but they are worth a look nonetheless as it may be a possibility, or there may at least be some medium-to-long-term appeal.
