Wednesday Night Pickups: Fantasy Basketball Adds for 2/26

  • By Yoel Abulaf

    Nine games on the slate tonight, and the action is heating up as teams shift their focus toward either securing playoff positioning or embracing full tank mode. I highlighted tonight’s top performers, but with a favorable schedule for nearly all teams through the end of Sunday, there’s plenty of value to uncover among this underrated group of players. Make sure you pick them up before it’s too late!

    Standard Leagues

    (<50% rostered on Yahoo)

    Shaedon Sharpe, SG, SF, POR (37% rostered)

    Tonight: 33 minutes, 36 points (13-of-26 FG, 7-of-10 FT), eight boards, five assists, one steal, one block, three triples.

    Analysis: Sharpe delivered a breakout performance tonight, posting a season-high 36 points on efficient 50% shooting from the field and 70% from the foul line while also contributing across the board. With Deni Avdija exiting before halftime due to a left quad injury, Sharpe started the third quarter, which could hint at an increased role if Avdija is forced to miss extended time. If Sharpe returns to a starting role and logs 30-plus minutes consistently, he could emerge as a viable fantasy contributor down the stretch.

    Aaron Wiggins, SG, SF, OKC (23% rostered)

    Tonight: 29 minutes, 24 points (11-of-19 FG), five boards, three assists, two triples.

    Analysis: Wiggins has been on a breakout over the past month, emerging as a player worth adding in deep leagues and beyond. He has scored in double digits in 12 consecutive games and has been a third-round player in 9-cat formats since start of February. He’s worth an add in deep leagues and even in shallower formats while this run continues, despite playing off the bench.
