Watch Here - TOP BUY LOW Trade Targets || NBA Fantasy Basketball [Week 9]
The host of the latest episode of BLEAV in Fantasy Basketball, D-Mac, breaks down several players who you should be bargain hunting for on the trade market as well as some players who fantasy managers are currently moving on from the most.
Ja Morant – Described as having “very much underperformed for the entire season” and being traded heavily, but the host says “you could probably get him for chips at the moment,” suggesting strong buy-low appeal if healthy.
Pascal Siakam – Mentioned among the most-traded players, implying managers are reacting to inconsistency, though no deep dive was given.
Kevin Durant – Listed in the top traded players, indicating market movement rather than concern over talent.
Myles Turner – Called “pretty much a bust this season” and “hugely disappointing,” but still labeled a buy-low since “I don’t think it can get too much worse for him.”
Josh Hart – Noted as “playing good basketball at the moment,” included more as market context than a buy-low.
Devin Booker – Recently returned from injury and “looked okay,” suggesting stabilization rather than urgency.
Paolo Banchero – A repeated buy-low target; with Franz Wagner out, the host says “it’s just a matter of time that he’s going to explode,” especially in points leagues.
LeBron James – Said to be “definitely looking a lot better than where he was two to three weeks ago,” aided by Austin Reaves’ absence.
Jaren Jackson Jr. – Recent big games make him “probably a sell high opportunity,” but also acknowledged as performing at a higher level overall.
Jamal Murray – Praised for “a tremendous season” and performing at a “top 20 clip at the moment.”
Tyler Herro – The main buy-low focus; despite recent struggles, the host says “I still believe that Tyler Herro can be that top 30 to 40 guy rest of the season,” blaming poor shooting rather than role.
Nic Claxton – Recognized as having “a fantastic bounce back season,” but the host warns it may be a sell-high due to team context.
Jimmy Butler – A buy-low despite durability concerns; his recent dip is attributed to shooting, with the host noting “that should easily turn around.”
Jalen Duren – Labeled a buy-low after a recent drop, with the host stating “he’s going to be an easy top 60 type of play rest of the season.”
Norman Powell – Shooting slump has hurt his value, but the host expects a rebound and says “I think he gets that back.”
Jarrett Allen – Recently returned from injury; with Evan Mobley sidelined, the host expects him to “play more minutes and get a little bit more usage.”
Nikola Vučević – Described as “extremely inconsistent” after a hot start, but still considered a buy-low despite trade risk.
Luka Dončić – Even as a superstar, he’s a buy-low due to shooting woes; the host notes his FG% is “in the 30%” and unlikely to stay there.
Keegan Murray – Struggling with efficiency, but the host believes “that should come back up again” due to high usage.
Payton Pritchard – Called “quite disappointing” recently, but still viewed as a buy-low based on upside when shots fall.
Donovan Clingan – A buy-low due to limited minutes; the host emphasizes he’s a “per-minute monster” with strong efficiency.
Reed Sheppard – Minutes have been inconsistent, but the host says “even on less than 30 minutes, he’s a top 100 guy.”
Trae Young – Injury and missed games have caused managers to hesitate, and the host suggests “perhaps you can still buy a low.”
Austin Reaves – Injury absence creates a short-term buy-low chance, with the caveat that “he won’t be out for too much longer.”
