Weekend Waiver Wire Watch Week 5

Here are some guys for the upcoming week that could be worthy of being in your lineups this week, or mid-week additions.

Guards-

Jason Williams (ORL)-
Williams is engraved into the starting lineup as long as Jameer Nelson is out. He had a slow start his first couple of games, but slowly picked it up. If you need 3s and assists, grab him. He'll be a nice short-term fix for however long Nelson remains out (up to six weeks)

Chris Douglas-Roberts (NJN)-
Devin Harris returned to the lineup Saturday, but CDR still went off for 24 pts playing a game high 42 minutes. He's averaging an astounding 27 ppg his last three games to go along with averaging 43 minutes per game. His scoring won't be that high with Harris back, but he'll definitely get his run as the Nets are still looking for their first win of the season.

Forwards-

Andres Nocioni (SAC)-
Nocioni makes this list solely based on Sacramento's schedule (@MEM, NYK, NJN, NOR). All four opponents are in the top-10 fantasy friendly teams to play against. He's the most likely King still out on the waivers, so scoop him up.

Martell Webster (POR)-
Coach McMillan has changed his starting lineup again. Webster benefited from it by getting the nod and posting up 21 pts, 13 reb & 2 ast. Webster will put up inconsistent numbers, but you have to love that line from someone you could pickup from the waivers. I'd roll the dice on him this week as the Blazers have four games.

Ersan Ilyasova (MIL)-
Ilyasova has quietly put up some nice numbers the last week. He's averaging just under 15 ppg and 10 rpg his last four games. Redd is expected to come back this week, but with the injury to Bogut, he should still see enough time to produce similar numbers. He delivers a nice combo of 3ptrs and rebounds.

Centers-

Antonio McDyess (SAS)-
The old reliable McDyess could see an increase in minutes this week as the Spurs play four games. With Popovic trying to limit Tim Duncan's playing time, McDyess should put up better than average numbers. You may be able to get a start this week as occasional DNPs are likely for Timmy.

Drew Gooden (DAL)-
Gooden has taken full advantage of Dampier's mysterious illness. He's averaging a double-double since being moved back into the lineup. Gooden was on my sleeper list heading into the season, and he's demonstrating the numbers he's capable of putting up. It's unknown at this time how long Dampier will be out for. Grab Gooden while you can because he may have even replaced Dampier in the starting lineup even when he returns.

Good luck this week!!
