Jerami Grant (SF/PF, PHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues

OWNED IN: 24% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: Jerami Grant has been a key piece for the 76ers, playing 26.4 minutes per game for the league's worst team. In 65 games, he has averaged 9.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 blocks. Grant is not the most efficient player -- he's shooting just 42.6% from the floor -- but he can pile up counting stats on a consistent basis.

Jahlil Okafor is out for the season with a torn meniscus, so Grant should take hold of the starting power forward job, with Nerlens Noel sliding to the center spot. Additionally, Robert Covington is also out with a concussion, which will also marginally increase Grant's time on the floor.

Grant himself suffered a concussion last week, but has since returned to his role. He was already getting quality minutes, but he will get even more now and will undoubtedly see an increase in scoring opportunities. As a result, he should be on the radar of fantasy owners in all but the shallowest of leagues.
