I’ve scoured the fantasy basketball waiver wires to find gems so you don’t have to.

Ryan Gomes, SF/PF, Minnesota Timberwolves
Gomes averaged 19.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steal, and 3.5 three-pointers last week. He shot 60.9 percent from the floor and 75.0 percent from the line. Gomes has scored in double-figures in his last six games. He’s owned in 29.0 percent of Yahoo! and 3.3 percent of ESPN leagues.

Corey Brewer, SG/SF, Minnesota Timberwolves
Brewer also played well for the Wolves. He’s actually a preferred choice over Gomes. Last week Brewer averaged 15.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.5 steals, and 2.0 three-pointers. He shot 44.4 percent from the field without missing a free throw. Corey is owned in 55.0 percent of Yahoo! and 30.3 percent of ESPN leagues.

Robin Lopez, PF/C, Phoenix Suns
Lopez averaged 13.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks while shooting 56.7 percent of his shot. He hit all of his free throws. Lopez’s numbers could rise if/when Amar’e Stoudemire gets dealt. Robin is owned in 41.0 percent of Yahoo! and 8.5 percent of ESPN leagues.

Darren Collison, PG, New Orleans Hornets
I’m sure you’ve heard the news that Chris Paul will miss a month or two following knee surgery. Collison should be at the top of everybody’s list. He had 17 points, 18 assists, and 6 rebounds in his first start for Paul. He’s owned in 31.0 percent of Yahoo! and 7.0 percent of ESPN leagues.

Mike Miller, SG/SF, Washington Wizards

Afflalo was solid last week averaging 12.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.5 three-pointers. He shot 59.4 percent from the floor without missing a free throw. Carmelo Anthony is set to return, which will cut into his numbers, but he remains a decent player in daily transaction leagues. If J.R. Smith is dealt, his value should increase. Arron is owned in 15.0 percent of Yahoo! and 1.5 percent of ESPN leagues.

Marcus Thornton, PG/SG, New Orleans Hornets
Thornton has been heavy on the scoring of late, a trend that should continue while CP3 is sidelined. Last week he averaged 17.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.8 steals, and 2.3 three-pointers. He shot 46.3 percent from the floor and 92.3 percent from the line. Marcus is owned in 27.0 percent of Yahoo! and 5.5 percent of ESPN leagues.

Jeffries is a regular stat stuffer. Last week he averaged 11.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.5 blocks, and 1.5 three-pointers while shooting 62.1 percent from the floor. His only fault was making Shaq look like Mark Price with his 28.6 percent free-throw percentage. Jared is owned in 5.0 percent of Yahoo! and 0.7 percent of ESPN leagues.

Corey Brewer, SG/SF, Minnesota Timberwolves
Brewer continues to produce for the Wolves. Last week he averaged 17.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 2.3 three-pointers while shooting 52.9 percent from the floor and 88.9 percent from the line. Corey is owned in 54.0 percent of Yahoo! and 29.5 percent of ESPN leagues.

Last week he averaged 16.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 3.0 three-pointers while shooting 46.2 percent from the field. The only category he didn’t help fantasy owners was free throw percentage as he hit just 66.7 percent of his attempts. Carlos is owned in 37.0 percent of Yahoo! and 11.9 percent of ESPN leagues.

Drew Gooden, PF/C, Dallas Mavericks
Gooden saw a spike in production last week averaging 13.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks. He shot 56.8 percent from the floor and 90.9 percent from the line.

Robin Lopez, PF/C, Phoenix Suns
Robin Lopez was mentioned last week, and hopefully you were able to secure him. If he’s still floating around on your waiver wire, you probably want to grab him.
