Wire to Wire aims to be your waiver wire resource for all of your fantasy basketball needs. It will dive into playing time trends, injury replacements, and even an occasional category specialist—all of which can be found on a typical waiver wire within your fantasy league at any given time.
Due to scheduling, the NBA didn’t exactly give us a large sample size to choose from over the last few games. Thankfully (depending on how you look at it), players in the Association do not need a lot of time to injure themselves, providing opportunities for the average fantasy basketball fan. While a few of these names may ring a bell, we’ve had a few new additions this week. The first men you should thank? Start with Marcus Camby and Baron Davis, as their annual injuries pave the way for the future stars of the NBA. On to this week’s recommendations.

Stat’s All, Folks: Just Like Mickey D’s, I’m Loving Chris Bosh
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Disses, H2H, Injuries, Props, Rookies, Roto, Rumors, Site Features, Talent, Trades, Waiver Pick Ups,
Stat’s All Folks will be a week-to-week stock market look at the standard cumulative categories – points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, steals, and blocks. I’ll be calling out the “bulls” and “bears” in each category, in order to help you assess your portfolio of players on your fantasy basketball team(s) and whether you should sell, hold, and/or diversify your assets.
Note that you won’t always see the superstar player written about in this column, otherwise it would be LeBron James or Steve Nash every week. So, check out who’s bullish and who’s bearish coming into the week.
Statistics are from February 1 - February 8
POINTS
BULLISH
Chris Bosh, PF/C, Toronto Raptors
Last Week’s Numbers of Note: 3 G; 30.7 PPG; 51.8 FG%; 87.2 FT%
Next weekend Bosh will be going to the All-Star game for the first time in his career as a starter (Thanks, Mark!). And looking at the trends for this season and his career, it won’t be the only time. In the past week, CB4 has flexed his scoring muscle like he owned Hulk Hogan’s 24-inch pythons! Check the scoring average trend for each month: November – 20.5 in 15 games; December – 20.5 in four games; January – 25.4 in 15 games; and 30.7 in three games thus far this month. In his last game, Bosh scored a career-high 41 points in a Young Beasts Down In The Box matchup against the Orlando Magic’s Dwight Howard. CB4 even showed some clutch game by scoring 31 of those 41 points in the second half to lead the Raptors to victory. And if you have Bosh on your fantasy team, he’ll do the same for you. Brother!!!

All-Star week is coming up, and that means one or two game weeks for all of the Association. Looking a bit forward, the Hawks, Bulls, Knicks and Kings all have schedules that max out their games played for a three-week stretch; two games next week, and back-to-back weeks of four games following. While shallow leagues do not have a lot of recommendations from me this week, owners would be wise to add any fringe players of those four teams if they’d like a bit of an advantage in the short-run.
This week will be hit or miss with a lot of players, as they simply do not have the full week to give you production. Here’s to a productive All-Star week for all involved.
On to this week’s recommendations…

Once again, injury news has spawned a few new names that can benefit fantasy leagues of all shapes and sizes. The biggest, of course, is the news that Carlos Boozer will miss the next four to five weeks with a leg injury. Read below to check out how owners should handle this news, along with a rotation shake-up in Orlando, a new point guard in Cleveland, and the return of a few injured stars.

Last week proved to be a solid week to hit up your waiver wires, as we’ve seen an increase in play from David West, Troy Murphy, and Stephen Jackson. While last week’s article focused primarily on the trade between the Warriors and Pacers, this week takes a different turn and mentions several players from the same team – the Boston Celtics. It’s getting ugly in Beantown, as most fans can’t remember the last time their Celts have brought home a win. However, fantasy potential can be found underneath the current mess that is the Boston roster, and owners need to exploit these opportunities. Now, on to this week’s recommendations…

With the recent eight-man deal that has been completed by the Indiana Pacers and Golden State Warriors, several players have seen an increase or decrease in value. We’re also starting to see some of the injured stars make their way back to their respective practice floors, soon to be found in a game near you! This week’s Wire to Wire will break down the return of a few of those stars, the recent trade, and which players involved can be found on waiver wires across the fantasy hoops universe. Let’s dig in…
(Note: I’ve been having some internet issues lately, so for the sake of time, we’re going to get right in to this week’s recommendations. I apologize for the inconvenience!)

Another week in the books. Milwaukee’s Michael Redd is the latest big name to go down, and boy did he ever. Four to six weeks is far from a short-term loss for owners, especially if those owners also have Josh Smith and Rashard Lewis (frantically waiving hand in the air). But, hey…that’s what the waiver is for! I’m aiming just to get myself to the All-Star break. I think we can make it. First, let’s see how we did last week…
