I’ve scoured the fantasy baskeball waiver wires to find gems so you don’t have to.

Mickael Pietrus, Orlando Magic - Pietrus has been solid lately scoring 11.8 points to go along with 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.5 blocks, and 3.0 three-pointers over his last four games.  He shot 54.8% from the floor and 52.2% from three.  He was just 1 of 6 from the line.  He has a cap number of $1.31M in the Sporting News salary cap game, and is owned in 59.8% of ESPN and 31% of Yahoo leauges.  He qualifies at SG & SF. 

Arron Afflalo, Detroit Pistons – Affalo has been solid replacing Rip Hamilton averaging 20.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steal, and 4.0 three-pointers in those two games.  He shot 52% from the floor, 61.5% from downtown, and 6 of 6 from the charity stripe.  He has a $0.50M SN cap number, and is owned in 0.3% of ESPN and 1% of Yahoo leagues.  He qualifies at PG & SG.  Rip is supposed to miss again tonight so Afflalo could make a solid play.  He’s a short-term fix though because Rip will likely be back soon.
