Welcome to Sunday Night Pickups: Fantasy Basketball Adds for 12/1! If you’re like me, you’re still fighting through a turkey or ham induced coma and have done nothing by lie around the last three days, watching football and basketball. But tomorrow is a new matchup week, so let’s check the waiver wire and see if there are any impact adds for the week ahead.

Standard Leagues

(<50% rostered on Yahoo)

Brandon Boston, PSG/SF, NOP (17% rostered, Yahoo)

Tonight: 19 minutes, 13 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3PT, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two steals

Analysis: The Pelicans are nearly fully healthy, with DeJounte Murray returning to the lineup Friday, but that hasn’t slowed down Boston. He’s played 29 and 19 minutes in the two games that Murray has been healthy as the first man off the bench and secondary offensive spark plug. He contributes across the board, with more games with multiple steals (11) than games with one or less (7). He’s the perfect end of bench piece who can have big nights when Trey Murphy, CJ McCollum or Murray are out but still contribute in five or six categories when the full lineup is healthy.

Caris LeVert, SG/SF, CLE (20% rostered)

Tonight: 23 minutes, 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3PT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal

Analysis: LeVert recently returned from a four game absence and is slowly regaining his footing as the offensive sparkplug off the Cavaliers bench. He is a nice player if you need some scoring, three’s and additional assists off the bench, but his production could be impacted by the return of Max Strus, who should be back in the rotation sometime next week. He’s worth adding and playing until then, and then I would hold for a game or two to see how the bench rotation shakes out (Isaac Okoro would get bumped back to the bench, muddying the forward rotation).

T.J. McConnell, PG, IND (15% rostered)

Tonight: 22 Minutes, 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3 PT, 2-2 FT), four assists, four rebounds, one steal
