This weeks edition of Waver Wire Picks takes us to 5 players that were recently inserted in their respective teams starting line-up and have been productive so far. Here's my Top 5....
1. Nate Robinson - New York Knicks - Point Guard
Chris Duhon is out, Nate Robinson is in. After languishing in Mike D' Antoni's doghouse in the month of December, Robinson is now in good graces with his coach and has been inserted in the starting line-up. In his first game as a starter, Lil' Nate notched 13 pts, 4 rebs, 7 asts and 1 stl. He followed it up with 26 pts, 5 3's, 4 rebs, 6 asts and a stl. against the Cavs. He's probably not in your waiver but grab him fast if he was recently dropped from your league as he has potential in points, 3's, assists, and steals.
Russell Westbrook burned the warriors for 21 pts ( 8-17 FGs, 5-6FTs) 7 rebs, 10 asts, 8 stl, 2 TOs. After averaging almost a triple double the past few games, he upped the ante and almost scored a quadruple double. Congratulations are in order if you got to buy him low when he was struggling two weeks ago.
