Top 10 Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Jan. 17)

Every Monday, D.J. Foster will highlight 10 potential waiver wire adds for your fantasy basketball team. Here are the selections for the week of January 17:

Out of that group, I'd be most excited about nabbing Hood. He doesn't have as high of a ceiling as someone like Russell, but he's going to play big minutes and he doesn't take anything off the table. Covington also has no business being on your waiver wire.

Safe to cut: Danny Green, Brandon Jennings, Joakim Noah

Monday DFS value play: Mario Chalmers ($5,600)

Make sure that Mike Conley is out once again before you pencil him in, but Chalmers should be a safe play Monday. He's had a few monster games with Conley out and has a high floor thanks to his big minutes load against a Pelicans team that's terrible defensively and plays at a high pace.
