Welcome to another night of Monday Night Pickups. There are only six weeks left in the NBA, and a lot of teams are starting to transition to either tanking or playoff contention. In this article, we look over some intentional adds that will give you a much-needed boost to help you in your race to the fantasy playoffs. Grab them while you can.

Standard Leagues

(<50% rostered on Yahoo)

Aaron Nesmith, F, IND

Tonight’s Game:33 Minutes, 17 points (5-of-10 FG, 5-of-5 FT), four rebounds, one steal, two blocks and two triples    

Nesmith’s minutes are back up to standard, which means he is now a viable fantasy option in 12-teams leagues. He is not everyone’s cup of tea, but he is a good option for 3PT and defensive stats with lower turnovers. Another thing that he added to his game this year is a very strong FT%. Nesmith will get plenty of run in Indiana, so don’t be afraid to look his way.

Kyshawn George, G/F, WAS 

Tonight’s Game: 32 Minutes, 12 points (4-of-9 FG, 2-of-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, three steals, three blocks and two triples 

George is a baller. He may not be getting a ton of shots and usage in Washington, but the minutes are there, and his ability to stuff the stat sheet is insane for a rookie. This is hard to find even in fantasy drafts, so grabbing George is of a higher priority than most of the players on this list. Run, don’t walk.
