Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire: 3 targets with plenty of upside
Fantasy basketball waiver wire add No. 3: Eric Gordon
The Houston Rockets are one of the worst teams in basketball. A very young team with some veterans there, but overall, not a good team.
That leaves room for the veterans to perform well with the team being so young in talent. Gordon is the veteran in this situation and has become a very sneaky pick-up as he is every year.
Gordon is owned in JUST 10 percent of ESPN leagues. Averaging over 25 fantasy points a game, being owned in just 10 percent of leagues is disrespectful.
In scoring leagues, Gordon fits perfectly on teams as that is what he is, a scorer. In his past six games, he is averaging 16.8 points and is shooting 47 percent from 3-point land.
With the Rockets’ situation being in rebuild mode, Gordon will continue to see nice minutes with a ton of scoring opportunities in each contest.
