The 2018 NBA Trade Deadline has finally ended and there are plenty of new and interesting combinations on DraftKings daily fantasy basketball to choose from.
Usually injuries or matchups are the best way to finds DraftKings daily fantasy basketball sleepers, but this time of year is a little bit different. The 2018 NBA Trade Deadline has left a bunch of teams a complete mess, and whenever a player is traded, it usually means we won’t see them back in full action for at least a couple of days.
Just like an injury, this gives players who usually don’t get as many minutes a chance to stay on the court longer, and in doing so, gives them an opportunity to get more fantasy points. All of the players listed in this article are players who should see more minutes due to a trade or injury.
On top of the players mentioned in this article, pretty much anyone still standing from the Cleveland Cavaliers is a solid pickup.
