Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire: Add Bub Carrington, Trayce Jackson-Davis

The fantasy basketball waiver wire has players who can help fill roster holes. Here are the ones to add for the week ahead.

Working the waiver wire is crucial to success in fantasy basketball. With so many games, injuries, and constant changes in rotations throughout the long season, we need to find stats from free agency to maximize our imaginary rosters. Being willing to consider competition for the last few spots on your fantasy hoops roster can be rewarding. When building this fluid group of statistical contributors, it's helpful to think about your bench players in direct competition with the talent available in free agency. The goal of this weekly series is to identify players at each position who are widely available in free agency in ESPN leagues. Some are specialists who can help in one or two categories, while others offer more diverse and important statistical contributions. In the breakdowns below, I've listed players at each position in order of priority, rather than roster percentage, in ESPN men's basketball leagues.
