Fantasy Basketball: Waiver wire breakdown for Week 16 of the 2020-21 NBA season
Finding the perfect addition to your Fantasy basketball team via the waiver wire can be the difference between winning your league or going home with nothing. And before you determine which players you should target on the waiver wire this week, you absolutely need to see what SportsLine's NBA Fantasy expert Mike Barner has to say.
Barner is one of the most respected voices in the industry, whose work has appeared in Sports Illustrated and on Yahoo, RotoWire and KFFL. He's also been featured on ESPN Radio. He digs deep into the data, examining team trends and projecting game outcomes. If there's anybody who knows what it takes to win a league, it's him.
Now, he's revealed the best widely available free agents ahead of Week 16. One player Barner is advising Fantasy players to target on the Week 16 waiver wire: Hawks shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic, who is available in 50 percent of leagues.
"After three seasons in a significant role with the Kings, Bogdanovic as only averaged 25 minutes per game with the Hawks," Barner said. "However, he's started to play more of late, averaging 30 minutes across the last eight games. He's responded with averages of 16.9 points, 3.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.9 3-pointers, while shooting 54.0 percent from the field. With the Hawks set to play four games in Week 16, Bogdanovic could provide value if his expanded role continues."
Barner has also identified which other players you should target on waivers if you need a jolt for your squad, including a guard available in almost 60 percent of leagues who can not only help you this week but is "a great target for the rest of the season."Â Anyone who adds this player could hit it BIG.
