Fantasy Basketball: Waiver wire breakdown for Week 21 of the 2020-21 NBA season

NBA Fantasy expert Mike Barner has identified which players you need to target on the waiver wire heading into Week 21

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 21. One player Barner is advising Fantasy players to target on the Week 21 waiver wire: Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman, who is available in over 60 percent of leagues. 

"A common theme for the waiver wire is players taking advantage of added playing time because of injuries," Barner said. "Another such player who fills that category is Osman, who has stepped up while Collin Sexton and Darius Garland (ankle) have both dealt with injuries. Across the last seven games, he's averaged 14.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers. Sexton is healthy now, but Garland remains sidelined. With only a week left and the Cavaliers having nothing left to play for, it's fair to question whether or not we see Garland play in any of their upcoming four games."

Barner has also identified which other players you should target on waivers if you need a jolt for your squad, including a center available in over half of leagues who can be a "prime player to add." Anyone who adds this player could hit it BIG.

So which players should you target on the Fantasy basketball waiver wire in Week 21? And which overlooked center could lead your team to victory this week? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the best league-winning free agents, all from one of the most respected voices in the industry!
