Welcome to another night of Monday Night Pickups. This is a special edition due to the trade deadline being later this week. To combat the madness, the pickups listed are most likely not going to be affected by the deadline or will receive value after the deadline passes. Whether you a looking for a short-term boost or a long-term pickup, you should definitely give this article a read. Enjoy.

Standard Leagues

( <50% rostered on Yahoo)

Zaccharie Risacher, F, ATL 

Tonight’s Game: 26 Minutes, 17 points (5-of-9 FG, 5-of-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and two triples    

The first pick of the 2024 NBA Draft has been seeing some increased minutes due to the injury woes in Atlanta. The high efficiency is floating this line, but the opportunity seems to be there. Risacher is a solid add for points, but beware, the rest of his lines tend to be a little empty.

Ausar Thompson, F, DET 

Tonight’s Game: 25 Minutes, 13 points (4-of-6 FG, 5-of-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals 

Thompson’s minutes have been limited, but the Pistons continue to prioritize his development. He seems to be getting better with every game. His stat set is mostly limited to REB and STL, but he does have the ability to rack up other stats when he is in a groove.
