Week 4 (Nov 9–15)
Who to pick up for the rest of this fantasy week: the teams with the most games left, the light nights, and the players likely on your waiver wire who are playing well right now.
43 NBA games are left from today. Teams with more games left give a pickup more chances to help. A light night has 5 NBA games or fewer; a heavy night has 11 or more.
Players outside the season’s top 100 who play under 28 minutes a game and are not ruled out, ranked by how much more than a waiver-level player they should give you over their games left. Numbers are per game over the last 14 days. A shaded day is a light night.

A candidate is a player outside the top 100 of the season player rater and under 28 minutes a game this season (regulars with heavy minutes are on a roster in almost every league), playing at least 18 minutes a game over the last 14 days, whose team still has a game this week and who is not ruled out on the injury report. A player with too few games this season to be rated is judged on his recent games instead. We have no rostered-percentage feed yet, so check that he is free in your league.
Week value is his nine-category value a game above a waiver-level player (the players ranked around the last roster spot of a 12-team league), times his games left. Category lists multiply his per-game average by games left.

Klay Thompson (MIA) by our numbers: 3 games left in week 4 (Tue @ UTA, Fri vs CLE, Sat vs DET) and the most value above a waiver-level player over the last 14 days among players likely to be available.
MIL, NYK, OKC, UTA have 4 games left in fantasy week 4 (Nov 9–15).
Thu (4 games), Sat (5 games). On a light night few of your regular players are busy, so a streamer is sure to fit in your lineup.
We do not: there is no rostered-percentage feed behind this page yet. The list leaves out the top 100 players by season value and anyone playing 28 minutes a game or more this season, who are on a roster in almost every league, and anyone ruled out on the injury report. A player with too few games this season to be rated is judged on his recent games instead. Check your own waiver wire for the names that are left.
How much more than a waiver-level player he should give you over the rest of the week: his nine-category value a game over the last 14 days, minus the value of the players ranked around No. 156, times his games left.
