As we dive into Week 13 of the NBA season, it’s crucial to approach your fantasy basketball strategy with a keen eye on both the present and the future. The key is to play for the short term while keeping long-term potential in mind.
Donovan Clingan is an interesting addition. With Deandre Ayton and Robert Williams out, Clingan started and showed promise. However, his value may be limited when Ayton returns. This could be an opportunity to sell high on Clingan if you believe his current performance isn’t sustainable.
Noah Clowney and Nikola Jovic are two players with more long-term value. Clowney’s minutes may fluctuate, but he’s worth rostering for potential future gains. Jovic, despite coming off the bench, has shown promise and could see consistent minutes moving forward.
Must-Roster Players
Looking at the next two weeks, several under-rostered players deserve attention:
1. Kelly Oubre Jr.
2. Jalen Duren
3. Andrew Wiggins
4. Jaime Jaquez Jr.
5. Yves Missi
These players should be on rosters in most leagues, at least for the short term. Keep an eye on their situations and be ready to adjust as needed.
