Fantasy basketball: Waiver wire options for Week 15 of the NBA

We are just a few weeks away from the NBA trade deadline and it’s a time when fantasy leagues can be turned on their heads.

Always keep an eye on moves that get made, but that doesn’t mean you should sit on your hands now.

OUCH: Chicago Bulls cops brutal injury news on Lonzo Ball

'THAT WAS NASTY': Fan horror over NBA reporter's sickening fall

Here are some options for Week 15 for fantasy basketball.

Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White

Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso are both out for 6-8 weeks, so Dosunmu and White get some significant, long term bumps.

The Bulls will likely welcome Zach LaVine back, along with Javonte Green this week, but Dosunmu and White need to be on rosters.

Patrick Beverley

My weekly reminder that Patrick Beverley, along with teammate Jarred Vanderbilt, are embarrassingly low in terms of the number of rosters they are on.

They are must roster players.

Chris Duarte

Malcolm Brogdon’s Achilles is a persistent issue and Duarte has taken advantage of late.

He may be inconsistent, but he is an add for now.

Goga Bitadze

We don’t know when Domantas Sabonis returns and without Myles Turner, Bitadze has a chance at a few starts this week.

He is the priority over Isaiah Jackson and Oshae Brissett.

Cody Martin

Jalen McDaniels hurt his ankle, so Martin can push to close to 30 minutes a night and with four games this week, Martin is an interesting option.

Gabe Vincent

As long as Kyle Lowry is out for personal reasons, Vincent is a top-level fantasy add.

When Lowry is back, his value evaporates, but without Lowry and Tyler Herro, he has been posting good numbers.

Max Strus

Strus has been outperforming Duncan Robinson and now that Herro is also out, he is taking on a scoring and shooting role few saw coming.

He has nice value for now, but perhaps even longer.

Nicolas Batum

Batum is playing at a very high level. I doubt it sticks like this and if Paul George returns, it will hurt him, but he is a strong addition for now.

Brandon Clarke

Clarke is playing very well and without Kyle Anderson, he is getting a few extra minutes.

Probably an add for the rest of the season, but at least in the short term, he shouldn’t be on the wire.

John Konchar

Konchar is starting without Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks and has some value while those two are out.

When Bane is back, I expect Konchar to drop off, but he is a solid add for now.
