Shaedon Sharpe

Sharpe didn't have at least 30 points like he did in his last two games without Anfernee Simons, but he still had 21 points and made 4-of-8 attempts from behind the 3-point line. He turned the ball over six times in 38 minutes, which is certainly a drag on his fantasy output. Still, streamers can't really complain about the production they've received from Sharpe over the last few games. His value will certainly take a hit when Simons and Deandre Ayton eventually return for Portland.

Simons will remain sidelined for another game, meaning Scoot Henderson stays in the starting lineup. Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe have benefited from Simons's and Deandre Ayton's absences.

Simons has missed the last two games for Portland and hasn't participated fully in recent practices. If he were to miss Wednesday's game, Scoot Henderson will continue to start in his place. Shaedon Sharpe has been the main beneficiary of Simons' absence, though, with Dalano Banton also getting more minutes and shots off the bench.

The fantasy basketball waiver wire always has players who can help fill holes in your roster. Here are the ones to add for the week ahead.

With Anfernee Simons and Deandre Ayton out for Portland again, Sharpe had another game with at least 30 points. His 32 points were a game-high and he could've had more, objectively. Sharpe was 11-of-21 from the field and only 7-of-12 from the free throw line. Still, he was +8 in 31 minutes in the three-point win. He's now hit his ceiling twice while Portland has been down two of its stars, but ultimately he'll have a lesser role when Simons and Ayton return.
