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
It is admittedly getting tough to find some weekly additions from the waiver wire at this time of year. While we have the trade deadline looming, most of the transactions from here out will be based on either injuries or scheduling. Four-game weeks are going to become crucial as we head into the playoffs. Those that are behind on games in roto leagues will need to start making well-thought moves to get the game totals as close to 72 to as possible before it is all said and done. With that said, here are this week’s recommendations.

Beyond the Arc: Week 17
Posted by Brandon Haraway Categories: Disses, Editorial, H2H, Roto, Sleepers, Waiver Pick Ups,
Well, the week is over, so hopefully everyone won their matchups. Short weeks can either be a good pick-me-up if you need some wins, or a very bad ordeal if you have a good team that lost to an inferior one due to games played.
Let me preface this All-Star edition by saying I truly hope The Big Easy pulls this off. It’s probably going to be a big factor in whether basketball stays in New Orleans. Sadly, with the attendance figures down there, it’s looking like a negative. But I think if they can pull off a great All-Star Weekend, that may change. One can only hope.
The Fig Cap: The hometown All-Star came up short in the three-point shootout, but didn’t the rest of the week.

With the All-Star break right around the corner, a few teams within the Association cannot wait for it to get here thanks to several big injuries throughout the league. In fact, we’ve already had an All-Star game replacement as Kevin Garnett’s abdominal injury has opened the door for Detroit’s Rasheed Wallace to take part in the festivities. While he hopes the Western Conference puts Dirk Nowitzki opposite him on gameday, fantasy owners will be left to fill any void which they may have over the next few days. Below, you’ll see plenty of options for your backcourt, with a surprise mention for a second-half frontcourt presence. Could a certain big man ride off into the Sun-set with one last ring? No pun intended, of course…

In what will likely be the biggest move of this NBA season, the Los Angeles Lakers have made a deal to bolster their frontcourt. Not only does this help the team, as Andrew Bynum is still on the shelf, it opens up a ton of room for someone to step up on the Grizzlies. Could we possibly see some nice numbers from a former second-overall selection? This week’s edition of Wire to Wire seems to think so.

Chris Webber and Earl Boykins: Living On A Prayer
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, Free Agency, H2H, Roto, Rumors, Talent, Golden State Warriors,
????...Oh…We’re Half Way There….????
Almost as a little addition to yesterday’s Wire to Wire, I wanted to add two new names that you fantasy folks may want to keep an eye on: Chris Webber and Earl Boykins.
Webber has officially signed with the Golden State Warriors, despite many people still wondering exactly “why.” While Webber is undoubtedly older, slower and in all-around worse shape than he was a year ago when he gallivanted around Detroit, Golden State seems to be a breading ground for fantasy relevance. As of now, I think C-Webb will have more of a negative impact on the fantasy value of others (see Biedrins, Andris and Harrington, Al) - but this doesn’t mean he should be counted out. Don Nelson may make this thing work!

If you have followed this column from the beginning, you know that I am a sucker for big men and point guards. Last week, I felt that I had shorted the readers a bit, recommending a slew of ‘tweener types, like Ryan Gomes, Marko Jaric and the like. Well, with Jaric deciding to put up near triple-doubles and then following those games up with next to nothing, I’m going back to my old ways. Injuries in Cleveland as well as a possible big-named trade in New Jersey pave the way for this week’s edition of WtW. Enjoy.
