November 13 Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups: Robert Williams, Jared McCain, Moussa Diabate, Jay Huff and Yves Missi

It’s time to go over the top fantasy basketball waiver wire options on November 13, which is in the fourth week of the NBA season.

I used the FantasySP Waiver Wire Pickups page to get these five players.

Robert Williams III Fantasy Outlook

Williams has the highest own percentage increase today at 7.31%. He’s currently owned in 31.78% of fantasy leagues, according to FantasySP data.

In three games this season, Williams has logged 53 total minutes. He’s shooting 15-of-19 and has scored 36 points. He also has five assists and steals, 17 rebounds, five blocks and three turnovers to his name.

His high shooting percentage is a big positive, but his own increase is coming after he was 9-of-10 shooting on Tuesday. In 25 minutes, he had 19 points, nine boards, three assists, steals and blocks and one turnover.

He’s trending up, and should remain heavily involved on a Blazers’ team that needs some players to step up. Williams is definitely a waiver wire player to target, both in deeper leagues and standard ones.

If you aren’t convinced enough by his play to add him in a standard league yet, keep a very close eye on him, because his own percentage could skyrocket with another good fantasy showing.

Jared McCain Fantasy Outlook

McCain has played 164 minutes across 10 games so far. He’s made 41 of his 90 shots and scored 115 points. McCain also has 21 rebounds, 15 assists, three steals and eight turnovers so far.

With Tyrese Maxey out for a bit with an injury, it’s been McCain who has stepped up. He’s played 30 minutes in three straight games, and combined for 68 points, six assists, seven rebounds, a steal and five turnovers in those contests.

McCain’s role could diminish when Maxey is back on the court, but with how the rookie has looked with Maxey out, I’d expect the 76ers to keep finding ways to get McCain on the court. He might not remain a good fantasy asset, but he’s one to target if any of the top Philly players are out.

He’s had a 7.14% increase in his own percentage and sits at 39.12% overall now. McCain definitely needs to be rostered in deeper leagues and dynasties, but until Maxey returns at least, he’s also a standard league streaming option.

Moussa Diabate Fantasy Outlook

Diabate has played in 11 games so far this season, accumulating 165 minutes. He’s played between 23-29 minutes over the past three contests.

He has made 18 of his 28 shots, scoring 39 points overall. Diabate also has 77 rebounds, six assists, eight blocks, three steals and eight turnovers in his time on the court.

Diabate had his best game on Tuesday, making six of his seven shots for 12 points. He had 15 rebounds, and has been between 11-15 rebounds in three straight games. Diabate also had two assists, three blocks and a steal on Tuesday.

There’s no injuries to big men that are propping up Diabate - it just appears that he’s starting to get some more run. There’s definitely room on the Charlotte roster for a big man to be a fantasy producer, and Diabate looks like he’s emerging as that guy.

He got a 4.94% increase to his own percentage and sits at just 10.14% rostered right now. Diabate is a good source of rebounds every night, and if he can add in some points, assists, steals and blocks, he’s a pretty solid fantasy option.

I’d give him a hard look in deeper leagues. At 22 years old, he’s worth an add in some deeper dynasties as well.

Jay Huff Fantasy Outlook

Huff got a 4.16% increase to his own percentage and sits at 29.59% overall now.

Across 11 games, Huff has played 167 minutes, made 39 of his 67 shots and scored 114 points. He also has 30 rebounds, 21 blocks, three steals, nine assists and six turnovers to his name.

His own percentage is going up after scoring in double figures in four of the past five games. He has 10 blocks and six boards across the past two games, and he’s been a solid fantasy contributor as a result.

He might not remain a fantasy asset all season, but for the time being, Huff is definitely worth a spot in some deeper fantasy leagues. Take advantage of things while you can.

Yves Missi Fantasy Outlook

Missi has seen his own percentage rise 4.09%, and it now sits at 27.4% overall.

In 11 games, Missi has logged 240 minutes. He’s 29-of-56 from the field and has scored 73 points. Missi also has 65 rebounds, 16 blocks, 17 assists and six assists and turnovers this season.

He’s been a bit inconsistent as a fantasy performer of late, but has two good showings in the past three games. Missi had 17 points and 11 rebounds across 29 minutes on Monday. Back on November 6, Missi had 10 points, four boards and three blocks across 18 minutes. In between, Missi had just a rebound and block (and no points, or field goal attempts even) across 19 minutes.

There’s still enough there, especially with his minutes, to consider him in deeper leagues. If you are in need of a big, Missi is worth considering for a short time. His role might diminish when Zion Williamson is back, but there’s no timetable for Zion’s return, so utilize Missi while you can.
