Welcome to our weekly waiver wire coverage for the fantasy basketball season. The big focus is finding players who can you help win in multiple categories. I look for guards who pull down at least three rebounds per game. I look for big men with one block and one steal per game potential. Every little bit helps. Specialists will make the list as well especially when it comes to scoring. I look for players who have a Yahoo! ownership of 40 percent or less. Those players have a bigger shot at being available in your league than players with 60 percent ownership. 
 
Jordan Clarkson G CLE-34% Ownership: Even though the Cavs have young guards, they are still giving their veteran combo-guard Clarkson a secure rotation commitment of over 23 minutes per game. More often than not he’ll take 10-plus shots from the field. Clarkson has had one game in which he didn’t hit double figures in scoring. He’ll have time to bring the ball up.  He’s contributed at least four assists in four of his last five contests. Clarkson has been helpful on the defensive end blocking shots in his last three games. He has strong speed, good handles and he will be relied on more when Kevin Love is off the floor. He’ll also drive the lane when he see’s an opening and will take contact. While Cleveland is figuring out how to work Collin Sexton and Darius Garland in and out of the rotation, Clarkson will benefit and he has that early-season rotation security.
 
Maxi Kleber PF, C DAL-34% Ownership: Kleber wouldn’t normally make the list this early in the season, but the playing time has been there and there will be times when “load management” comes into play for the Mavs front-man floor-stretcher, Kristaps Porzingis . Kleber will be battling Dwight Powell for minutes throughout the year, but the Mavs have room for him. Boban Marjanovic isn’t a threat to Kleber’s minutes. Kleber being able to hit long-range jumpers will give the Mavs the chance to give Porzingis rest time throughout games knowing they have another big man to stretch the floor on offense. He’s scored 14 points in 3 of his last 4 games and he hits at least one three-pointer per game. Kleber’s rebounding has been impressive, as he’s grabbed seven per game this year. To start the year he blocked shots in his first four games and has since cooled off a bit, but the blocks potential is there as an added bonus.
 
Dillon Brooks SG, SF MEM-30% Ownership: No team goes un-watched when it comes to fantasy basketball. Even the teams that aren’t projected to compete will still have fantasy opportunity, especially early on while rotations are being solidified and Brooks has hit the 30-minute mark in 4 of his last 5 games. The rotation is very open in Memphis in all areas except PG. The Grizzlies need all of the help they can get in the mid-court and Brooks won’t just rely on three-point shooting. He’s grabbed four boards per game while scoring 15.1 points per game.  He’s clearly committed on both sides of the ball as he fights through screens on the perimeter. Memphis doesn’t have a lot of ball-stoppers and Brooks is disciplined. He’s grabbed steals in all but one game this season. Expect Brooks to stick in the rotation.
 
Bryn Forbes G SA-23% Ownership: Going into the season with Dejounte Murray returning, one of the toughest things to figure out about the Spurs was how exactly they were going to rotate their guards in and out of the lineup. I had fears that Forbes would get squeezed a bit, but those fears haven’t come true and Forbes plays over 28 minutes per game. As much as he’ll be utilized more as a bailout shooter on offense, he’ll step inside the arc and get long-rebounds from the elbow. He’s grabbed 3.6 boards per game this season. He hasn’t been as helpful on the assist-front. View Forbes as a short-term solution at this point because the Spurs do have a lot of guards that shoot, but while he’s grabbing at least three boards per game and getting a good chunk of playing time in the Spurs rotation, he’s a safe add. 
 
Jae Crowder F MEM-17% Ownership: Crowder is in an excellent spot as he’ll never lose minutes. Like Brooks, Crowder is committed to defense. His scoring has been up and down to start the season and sometimes he can be a bit to reliant on his long-range game, but he can average double-digit scoring on this team. Being that Crowder prioritizes defense over offense, expect consistent production with rebounds and steals. He’s grabbed five steals total in his last two games. It’s very difficult to screen out Crowder and he has long reach and never gives up on a play. He crashes the boards and that has led to him pulling down 5.4 boards per game. Crowder doesn’t have an issue sacrificing his body, but when Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant slash in the lane, someone has to remain at the arc to get a high-percentage shot if the opposing defense collapses the driver with success and that has been Crowder a good amount this season. He starts and is a very safe end of  your bench add. 
 
Cedi Osman F CLE-26% Ownership: Osman frequently made the waiver wire list last season because of his scoring streaks. So far, he’s brought a little bit more to the table than just his mid and long-range shooting as he’s been having a bit of success on the glass. Osman has hit the three rebounds per game mark and even though he’s not a guard, he’s been helpful in multiple categories this season and he’s a starter and plays over 30 minutes per game on a team that’s trying to figure out what their identity is with a healthy Kevin Love and very young backcourt. Osman has also registered one steal per game this season and he’s being rewarded for his defensive efforts with more playing time. He’s hit at least two three-pointers per game, but stepping inside the arc and taking mid-range jumpers will result in compiling more rebounds that ricochet hard off the rim. 
 
Damion Lee SG GSW-9% Ownership: Stephen Curry will miss the next few months and without Klay Thompson in the lineup, the Warriors are running out of scoring options. Even D’Angelo Russell has been banged up and has had to miss games. Russell will get a ton of coverage from opposing defenses and the Warriors will have to rely on other rotation players. Russell’s ability to operate the point makes me confident that Lee stays in the rotation for the rest of the season. Lee has played 25-plus minutes in his last 4 games and has scored in double figures in all of them. He’s dished three assists in each of his last three games and he’s even pulled down 4.3 boards per game. He won’t stick to the arc as he’ll drive the ball inside and take contact. He’s shown that he’s balanced on both sides of the ball and the Warriors are in desperate need for their depth to come through. 
 
George Hill G MIL-15% Ownership: The veteran Hill does just enough to make this list. As much as he is asked to run the point, Hill is more of a spot-up shooter and seems more comfortable playing off the ball. He’ll get significant PG run if Eric Bledsoe gets hurt.
Hill averages just under three boards and dimes per game and nearly a steal per game. He has multi-category production potential, but if you put faith in him, it’s the scoring ability with the Bucks second unit that you’re chasing. Hill is very protective of the ball and makes smart decisions and hasn’t had a big problem with turnovers. Hill is coming off of a season-high in scoring of 24 points against a defensively sound Clippers team. He’s scored in double figures three times in his last six games. Give him a short leash to see if he can follow up his 24-point performance with another double-digit scoring effort. 
 
Glenn Robinson III SG, SF GSW-16% Ownership: As the Warriors continue to get decimated by injuries, it’s too late to pick up Eric Paschall , who has been benefitting the most from the Warriors starters getting hurt, but, it’s not too late to grab another option. Besides Damion Lee (mentioned above), Robinson should be relied on more to produce with Draymond Green hurt. He’s been starting for the Warriors all season. He’s playing over 30 minutes per game and he’s coming off of his first double-double of the season. He can hit shots from mid and long-range and he’s pulled down 6.5 rebounds per game this season. He’s grabbed at least six boards in each of his last three games. He’ll help out a touch with steals but that should be viewed as an added bonus. Robinson, along with D’Angelo Russell have the most rotation security of any active Warriors player….Sad, I know!
 
WILDCARD PICK UP: Moritz Wagner PF WSH-4% Ownership: I don’t normally recommend players who don’t hit the 20-minute mark on average, but Wagner should be considered a volume add and he has the ability to earn more of a rotation commitment on this depleted Wizards team. Thomas Bryant and Rui Hachimura have security up front, but, beyond those two players, it’s wide open to see who can grab extra minutes in the Wizards frontcourt. Wagner has played over 20 minutes in 2 of his last 3 games. He’s scored in double figures in five of his first seven games and he helps stretch the floor off with being able to hit long-range jumpers. Wagner has grabbed five-plus rebounds and at least one steal in three of his last four games. Wagner will continue to come off the bench, but the lack of depth beyond him should be able to earn him more minutes as the season continues.
