Welcome to the first Monday Night Pickups of 2025. We have just the treat for you, a strong list of players to help combat the slew of injuries happening in the NBA and a few names that could become “silly season” winners. The playoffs are approaching quickly, so it is time to start thinking about winning in both the short and long term. No matter what categories you are looking for assistance in, we’ve got you covered. Good luck and keep going.

Standard Leagues

( <50% rostered on Yahoo)

Toumani Camara, F, POR 

Tonight’s Game: 36 minutes, 12 points (5-of-8 FG, 0-of-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist, three steals, one block and two triples 

Coach Chauncey Billups continues to play Camara, which means he has the opportunity to belong on rosters. He’s not a high-profile player, but he does bring value in the little areas that could help push your team over the edge. A lot of Camara’s values is tied up in STL and REB, with him averaging 7.0 REB and 1.2 STL over the last month. If you are in need of these categories, don’t be afraid to look Camara’s way. 

Kelly Oubre Jr., G/F, PHI 

Tonight’s Game: 38 minutes, 26 points (9-of-18 FG, 7-of-9), 11 rebounds, one assist and one triple 

When one of the star players in Philly are out, Oubre Jr. shines. He is in good favor with coach Nick Nurse and continues to do whatever it takes to help the team win. Oubre Jr. can be a bit of a dice roll on a night-to-night basis, but recently, he has been putting up amazing value overall, posting 13.8 PTS, 7.4 REB, 1.8 AST and 1.7 STL on solid percentages over the last month. That is top-80 value, by the way. Snag Oubre Jr. up for a solid ROS play.
