• Welcome to Sunday Night Pickups: Fantasy Basketball Adds for 02/09! Today was the first post-trade deadline Sunday, which means in between then and now we’ve seen new players on new teams (and even a trade rescinded) and we’ve gotten to see the impact of the trade on both the old and new teams. Short slate for today, so let’s take a peek and see if there was anything actionable on this Super Bowl Sunday.

    (<50% rostered on Yahoo)

    Guerschon Yabusele, PF/C, PHI (34% rostered, Yahoo)

    Tonight: 25 minutes, 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-6 3PT, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal

    Analysis: For some unknown reason to me, Yabusele’s roster percentage DROPPED this week. Guess what, even when Joel Embiid is healthy, Yabusele is still going to eat. He started one game and came off the bench in one game with Embiid in the lineup and was productive in both games (14-18, three 3s, 37 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal). He’s played 24 minutes or more in every game since December 30th and has an impact regardless of whether he is starting or coming off the bench. He needs to be rostered everywhere.

    Gary Trent, PG/SG/SF, MIL (18% rostered)

    Tonight: 33 minutes, 23 points (7-20 FG, 7-15 3PT, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three steals, three assists
