Fantasy basketball waiver wire add No. 1: Josh Hart

Josh Hart and the other Los Angeles Lakers involved in the Anthony Davis trade have all found their roles currently where they are at. Lonzo Ball is in Chicago and is a key piece in the Chicago Bulls’ success this season.

Brandon Ingram along with Josh Hart have found a home in New Orleans and have grown into their roles. Ingram in the absence of Zion Williamson has averages of 22.4 points, 5.2 assists, and 6.1 rebounds.

The consensus knew what Ingram could produce being in a number one role, but Josh Hart has been the surprise player for New Orleans this year. The Pelicans are not a good team, but it is times like this that show who really loves the game.

Josh Hart is just owned in 51.2 percent of ESPN leagues. In his past six games, Hart has been playing lights out. Although he sprained his ankle in the Pels’ last matchup, he is a sneaky pick-up who is capable of a double-double any game.

In his last six games, Hart is averaging 16.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. He has recent games of 42, 40, 26, 35, and 27 in my home league.
