Fantasy basketball: Davion Mitchell and Alex Caruso are must-adds
This could very well be your championship week, so managing your pick-ups is key to a successful season.
Watch who plays, but also what day they play, as that is key.

A reminder - the Pelicans, Wolves, and Suns all play three games, but they are all on high volume days, so adding any players from those teams is likely going to be worthless, and any fringe guys playing for them are likely drops.
The Cavs play five games, so they have a great schedule and the Bulls have four games on low volume days, so players from those teams get a real boost.
Davion Mitchell
I do not expect De’Aaron Fox to return this season, so Mitchell is an absolute no brainer of an add.
He is playing huge minutes and is going to take a lot of shots.
Trey Lyles
Lyles may have some consistency issues, but with four games on and a starting role, his value is nice for the week ahead.
Donte DiVincenzo
Still coming off the bench, but playing more than Justin Holiday, DiVincenzo is a strong addition for the week.
Damian Jones
Like Fox, I doubt Domas Sabonis plays this week, so Jones is going to get plenty of run. Look at Alex Len in deeper leagues.
Aleksej Pokuševski
Poku is starting and with Josh Giddey’s season over and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander heading the same way, he has some great value.
Tre Mann
Mann has shooting issues, but the volume and minutes are going to be strong for the rest of the way.
Alperen Şengün
On Sunday, the Rockets split Şengün and Wood’s minutes.
He has been producing well, and I think now is the time he finally gets to put up top-100 type numbers.
Alex Caruso
The Bulls have the best streamable schedule this week and Caruso is starting for them. I wouldn’t leave him on the wire.
Ayo Dosunmu
Dosunmu replaced Javonte Green for Sunday and it could stick as we move forward, but through volume of games he should have value this week.
Tristan Thompson
It’s not an exciting guy to add, but he should be able to contribute at least 60 minutes across the week and over 50 fantasy points, playing on all four low volume days.
Kevin Huerter
Danilo Gallinari would be a great addition, but he is dealing with his own injury, so Huerter’s stock rises.
The Hawks have a friendly schedule as well.
Onyeka Okongwu
Like Thompson, Okongwu has value just by playing games on low volume days.
The Hawks have three of those games and there is always a chance that he plays more than Capela on at least one of those days.
Isaiah Hartenstein
Hartenstein has been great recently, and now with four games, he could crack the top 100 for the week.
Lamar Stevens
Look at Cavs players because they have five games this week.
Stevens has turned in three straight strong games, despite moving to the bench.
If Jarrett Allen does return this week, Stevens will be impacted, but there could be 100+ minutes of action for Stevens this week.
