Fantasy: 5 moves to make in Week 13

Every week, theScore offers a fantasy basketball column detailing a handful of moves you should make. This edition focuses on Week 13. Roster percentages and position eligibility are courtesy of Yahoo.

Sell high on John Wall

Team: Rockets
Position: PG
Rostered: 93%

Wall hasn't shown any rust after missing five games with a knee bruise, averaging 22.5 points, seven assists, and 1.5 steals in a pair of contests this past weekend.

But the Kentucky product's fantasy value is essentially a ticking time bomb since he's likely to undergo knee surgery later this season. And with the Rockets in the midst of a franchise-record 20-game losing streak, they'll likely test out their younger talent - primarily Kevin Porter Jr. and Kenyon Martin Jr. - which means Wall's fantasy arrow is pointing down the rest of the way.

Given his current health and production, as well as his uncertain future, we highly suggest trading Wall as soon as possible with fantasy playoffs a few weeks away.

Add Moses Brown

Team: Thunder
Position: C
Rostered: 33%

Brown has shown what he's capable of in spot starts when Al Horford rests. The second-year center exploded for a magnificent 20-point, 16-rebound, five-block performance in a March 16 start against the Bulls, then finished with 13 points and 14 rebounds while stepping in for Horford again in Sunday's win over Houston.

The Thunder could move Horford ahead of the NBA's March 25 trade deadline, which means Brown is a nearly must-own player at this point. Even if Oklahoma City elects to keep the veteran center beyond the deadline, Brown should still see more playing time and spot starts down the stretch.

Drop Nerlens Noel

Team: Knicks
Position: C
Rostered: 43%

Mitchell Robinson has recovered from a broken hand and returned from his 15-game absence Sunday, which means now is the time for your fantasy team to part ways with Noel.

The Knicks' backup center filled in admirably for Robinson in a low-usage role during that five-week stretch, averaging 6.6 points on 70.8% shooting, 7.1 rebounds, two blocks, and 1.1 steals in 29.3 minutes per game. Noel will still provide defensive stats off the bench, but most managers will be better off seeking out an alternative that offers more overall value.

Monitor Nickeil Alexander-Walker

Team: Pelicans
Position: SG/SF
Rostered: 7%

Alexander-Walker has been heating up for the Pelicans, notching a pair of 20-point performances in a five-day span while reaching double figures in five of seven games so far in March. The Canadian makes for an intriguing stash option, especially as pre-deadline rumors swirl around point guard Lonzo Ball's future with New Orleans.

If the Pelicans trade Ball, Alexander-Walker could have a path to regular starts down the stretch, which bodes extremely well for his fantasy production. The 22-year-old has impressed in four starts this season, averaging 19.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 57.4% from the field and 47.8% on long-range attempts.

Add Alec Burks

Team: Knicks
Position: SG/SF
Rostered: 29%

With the Knicks depleted at the guard spots while Derrick Rose and Elfrid Payton have missed time, Burks has performed admirably in a larger role for head coach Tom Thibodeau.

The 29-year-old is averaging 17.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists over his last six games, connecting on two 3-pointers per contest during that span. Burks' value could take a dip as New York gets healthy, but he makes sense as a short-term add right now.
