Obviously, as you’re trolling through the waiver wires trying to replace your injured players, its important to make sure you’re picking up a guy who is going to take care of all those games you still have available to play. So without any further ado, here’s how many games each team has left to play:
10 Games Left
Miami, Sacramento
11 Games Left
New Jersey, Houston, Minnesota, LA Clippers
12 Games Left
Boston, Philadelphia, Toronto, New York, Detroit, Indiana, Milwaukee, Orlando, Atlanta, San Antonio, Dallas, Memphis, New Orleans, Seattle, Utah, Phoenix, LA Lakers, Golden State
13 Games Left
Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, Charlotte, Denver, Portland
So while you should be interested in who sees minutes should Eddie Jones miss time with his sprained ankle, well, they’re not going to be THAT much help, as the Heat don’t play all that much over the rest of the season. Meanwhile, marginal guys like Jared Jeffries and Kwame Brown should be good game-fillers for your squad.
One-Day Wonders
Pick ‘em up today, so you can play ‘em tomorrow!
Only 3 games Thursday night, but there is one guy we can find worth picking up:
G – Rasual Butler, MIA
We’re going to go ahead and assume that Eddie Jones misses at least one game with his sprained ankle, opening the doors for “Casual” Rasual Butler to get some decent minutes. Look for him to get at least a three and maybe 12-15 points in relief of Jones.
