Injuries can be extremely frustrating while playing fantasy basketball. However, you can still patch together production and keep your squad in the title hunt by adding the right players off the waiver wire. Let’s highlight some potentially valuable players to consider picking up in a variety of scoring formats who are all still available in the majority of Yahoo leagues.

9-Category League Targets

Grayson Allen, Charlotte Hornets (46% rostered)

Kon Knueppel didn’t even make it through one game before injuring his hamstring again. He is now expected to miss at least four weeks, robbing the Hornets of one of their best scorers. Brandon Miller (groin) also missed his second straight game Thursday, leaving the Hornets with even fewer options.

With Knueppel and Miller out, Allen roasted the Cavaliers for 27 points, six assists and six three-pointers on Monday. He then had 14 points, six assists and four three-pointers in Thursday’s game against the Suns. For the season, he averages 15.2 points, 3.3 assists and 3.5 three-pointers, while shooting 46.1% from the field. With a lot of minutes and shot attempts likely in his future, he makes for an appealing fantasy option.

Aaron Wiggins, Atlanta Hawks (44% rostered)

The Hawks recently moved CJ McCollum to their second unit, starting Kingston Flemings in his place. Wiggins has yet to start a game this season, but he is establishing himself as one of the best sixth men in the league. He is still playing 26 minutes a night while coming off the bench, which would be the highest mark of his career. That has helped him average 14.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 3.0 three-pointers.

For the majority of bench players to thrive in limited minutes, they need to be efficient scorers. Wiggins has been just that, shooting 46.3% from the field and 41.9% from behind the arc. The Hawks play at the second-fastest pace in the league, which also provides him with additional opportunities to be productive. Wiggins might not be a flashy fantasy option, but his consistency makes him someone to roster for the long haul.

De’Anthony Melton, Golden State Warriors (32% rostered)

The emergence of Yaxel Lendeborg had the Warriors dreaming of being contenders in the Western Conference. While they are off to a hot start, the good vibes took a hit with the news Thursday that Stephen Curry will miss at least two weeks with an oblique abdominal tear. Some reports indicated that he could miss around a month, which would be a crushing blow with Jimmy Butler (knee) also still sidelined.

Although his ailment isn’t as serious, Brandon Williams (hamstring) is also out for at least one week. With the team’s depth depleted, Melton should be thrust into a larger role. In just 22 minutes per game this season, he is averaging 10.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 three-pointers. He has had his own injury issues in the past, so he might not be capable of playing 30+ minutes a game on a regular basis. However, with the potential for him to log closer to 25 minutes a night moving forward, he is worth rostering.

Pelle Larsson, Miami Heat (29% rostered)

After trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Heat lost a lot of the promising young players on their team. They replaced them with veterans like Klay Thompson, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bobby Portis, but none of them come with much upside at this stage of their careers. One player who could provide a higher ceiling is Larsson, whom they recently moved into the starting lineup over Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins has struggled in a big way, averaging just 8.7 points and 2.8 rebounds despite playing 26 minutes a game.

While mostly coming off the bench, Larsson has averaged 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.4 three-pointers this season. After shooting 32.3% from behind the arc last season, he is shooting 46.9% this season. That likely isn’t sustainable, but he is going to get a lot of open looks playing alongside Giannis and Bam Adebayo. Larsson’s ability to contribute in multiple categories should remain a constant for fantasy purposes.

Points League Target

Jared McCain, Oklahoma City Thunder (50% rostered)

When the Thunder acquired McCain from the 76ers last season, he didn’t have a path to significant playing time. Oklahoma City had championship aspirations and was one of the deepest, most talented teams in the NBA. They moved on from some key depth pieces this offseason, which left McCain with the potential to play more. However, it was injuries to Jalen Williams (leg), Chet Holmgren (knee) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) that thrust McCain into a prominent role.

McCain averaged 28 minutes over the last nine games. During that span, he provided 13.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals. The downside is that he only shot 40.7% from the field. Last season, he shot just 42.5% during his combined time with the 76ers and Thunder. His shooting percentage can be a detriment in category leagues, but it’s not of concern in a points format. His increase in minutes and scoring opportunities makes him a great target on the waiver wire.

High Score League Target

Already without Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee), the Jazz will now be missing Lauri Markkanen (hand) for at least the next four weeks. Being without two of their leading scorers means that Keyonte George is now primed to handle the bulk of the scoring responsibilities. They will also ask for more from their last two first-round picks, Ace Bailey and Darryn Peterson. However, behind those three is a group of role players that doesn’t pack much of a punch in the scoring department.

There is one exception among the Jazz’s bench players in terms of top scoring talent. Sensabaugh is a flat-out scorer, averaging 14.9 points and 2.2 three-pointers in only 24 minutes per game last season. In Wednesday’s loss to the Magic, Sensabaugh scored 19 points and hit three three-pointers while playing a season-high 23 minutes. If he ever plays around 30 minutes on any given night, he can surpass 20 points with ease. However, there will likely be some duds mixed in, so he’s a better target in high-score leagues than in other formats.
