Two-thirds of the NBA regular season is in the books, and All-Star weekend is here; now is the time to rest and recharge heading into the stretch run of fantasy basketball leagues. But before unplugging for a few days, you may want to check the waiver wire one more time because it's probably still overflowing with potential. This week's column identifies five players to snag and reminds readers about another nine players still available in more leagues than not.

Not a lot has changed since last Friday's waiver wire article; only one evening of games has since been played, and the All-Star break tends to be the time when fantasy managers are most likely to tune out for a few days. As such, most of last week's recommended adds remain available in at least 50 percent of leagues. At the end of the column, I've included a list of 10 players who have been suggested in recent weeks and should still be strongly considered; however, rather than reiterating why you ought to add one of those players, this week's focus is on six players available in at least 75 percent of leagues.

The playoffs are right around the corner in most fantasy leagues. With many teams having already dropped out of playoff contention, there will be fewer managers vying for waiver wire adds going forward, but those still in the hunt for the playoffs will be scouring the free agency pool for pickups. Don't let March Madness distract you too much this month; stay on the ball! Fortunately, there is no shortage of appealing options available. This week's column suggests nine new players to add and reminds readers about 10 recent recommendations at the end.

With just over a month remaining in the NBA regular season, fantasy leagues are winding down as well. Leagues with postseasons have either already started or are right about to begin. Keeping that in mind, this week's waiver wire article highlights eight players to add across leagues of every format and size. About half of the following players are recommended as longer-term adds, while the other half are best suited for streaming purposes. Additionally, a list of 10 recently recommended players who remain available in at least 50 percent of leagues has been included at the end.

The waiver wire is overflowing with high-upside adds for your late-season or playoff pushes. This is especially good news for all those trying to improve their team around the edges and maximize your odds of winning your league. Injuries have been widespread as the season has carried on, so any manager still in the hunt will be searching high and low for players to plug in. This week's column focuses on 10 players who might make a difference for you down the stretch. As usual, another dozen recently recommended players have been included at the end.

With less than a month remaining in the NBA regular season, some fantasy basketball leagues are deep into the playoffs, while others have just begun. Even if your league format doesn't include a postseason, most managers are aiming to finish the season on a high note—even if only to avoid a dreaded last-placed finish in the standings. This week's waiver wire article focuses on six players to consider adding this weekend, and hopefully, it has someone for managers of most league sizes and formats. Unless you're in a 30-team league, at least a couple of these players ought to be available. An additional 10 recently recommended players who remain rostered in less than 50 percent of leagues have been listed at the end as well.

With two weeks remaining in the NBA regular season, fantasy leagues that aren't yet finished are in the final stretch. The first week of April is an especially busy one for most of the teams in the league. All but four teams have four games this coming week; Chicago, Denver, San Antonio and Utah have three. As such, it shouldn't be terribly surprising that none of the players mentioned in this week's column suit up for the teams playing one less game than everyone else. This week, I've recommended five players to consider adding heading into April, and I've included a long list of recently suggested pickups at the end, as usual.

Gabe Allen looks at the NBA landscape heading into April and suggests waiver wire adds for the stretch run.

The final week of the NBA regular season is upon us. This means fantasy leagues are finished or in the final stretch. Each player is on equal footing at this late stage of the game; everyone is a streaming option—nothing more, nothing less. Though the NBA schedule is not quite as busy as it was last week, 24 teams have four games, while the other six (Nets, Cavaliers, Pacers, Lakers, 76ers, Wizards) have three. All but two of the 13 players I've highlighted this week play for clubs with four matchups, and all 13 are rostered in less than 20 percent of leagues. Another eight recently suggested adds who remain rostered in less than 50 percent of leagues are listed at the end.
