Sunday Night Pickups: Fantasy Basketball Adds for 12/15

  • By Anthony Kates

    Last Updated on December 15, 2024 11:04 pm by Anthony Kates | Published: December 15, 2024

    Welcome to Sunday Night Pickups: Fantasy Basketball Adds for 12/15! After a slow week because of the NBA Cup, we finish up with a busy seven-game Sunday slate.

    Let’s comb through the box scores and see who needs to be picked up and who can be ignored.

    Standard Leagues

    (<50% rostered on Yahoo)

    Brandon Boston, SG/SF/PF, NOP (19% rostered, Yahoo)

    Tonight: 31 minutes, 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-4 3PT, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal

    Analysis: Boston has scored in double figures in six of his last seven games. He is the first man off the bench and the primary ball-handler and bucket-getter when DeJounte Murray and CJ McCollum sit. He’s been right around a top 100 player on the season and provides decent stats across the board. The perfect rotation piece for any fantas roster, in all league types.

    Yves Missi, C, NOP (37% rostered)

    Tonight: 34 minutes, nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one steal

    Analysis: Missi is one of only two traditional big men that are a) healthy and b) getting rotational minutes for the Pels. Even once (if) Zion Williamson is healthy, he should still be able to log a steady 20+ minutes per game, whether that is still starting or as the lone big off the bench. Has averaged 13/11/1 block on 59% FG over the past month and has been a near top 100 player on the season. If you lack big men or big man numbers, Missi is an easy pickup.

    Obi Toppin, PF, IND (15% rostered)

    Tonight: 21 minutes, 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3PT), five rebounds, three steals, two assists

    The FantasyPass isn’t just for drafts anymore! This year, take your team to the next level with in-season TOOLS like Head-to-Head Matchups and Dynamic Daily/Weekly Projections, SCHEDULE ANALYSIS, PICKUP ADVICE and more… starting at just $7/month!

    I’m a husband, father and fantasy sports fanatic. I’ve been playing some fantasy sport or other since the fall of 1996, thanks to one of my childhood best friends, Brent. I enjoy watching all major sports, reading fantasy novels, watching TV shows and movies, playing video games and writing about fantasy baseball. I started at Sports Ethos in 2023, just writing one article a week and cutting my teeth in fantasy sports writing and I am now a co-lead of the Fantasy Baseball department, co-host of the Fantasy MLB Today podcast and the author of two weekly articles, our dynasty baseball rankings and a handful of random articles a year. I support the Houston Astros, Dallas Mavericks, Tennessee Titans and all things Texas Longhorns.
