76% Informative

The Playlist is a weekly column that lets you know who to play when it comes to setting your lineup for the upcoming week in fantasy basketball.

There continue to be 10 or so players between 40% and 50% rostered who should be on all fantasy teams.

I'll focus on the players under 40% who are more likely to appear in your waiver pools.

Week 16 in Yahoo Fantasy leagues runs from February 10 to 23 because of the All-Star break.

Nick Smith Jr. is averaging 21.3 PPG on 73.0% TS over his last four games.

The Bulls are weirdly still “competing” even after trading Zach LaVine at the deadline.
