Wizards vs Thunder: Bilal Coulibaly returns

NBA Fantasy Basketball waiver wire chaos erupts as Ryan Rollins drops 32 points for the Milwaukee Bucks, Josh Minot sparks bidding wars, and Bilal Coulibaly returns to the Washington Wizards rotation. Thursday's four-game slate delivers breakout performances, injury complications, and critical roster decisions that reshape fantasy basketball leagues heading into the weekend.

Josh Lloyd breaks down Rollins' unexpected 21 field goal attempts with Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined, questioning whether Doc Rivers will maintain his commitment to Kevin Porter Jr. despite this explosion. Desmond Bane's struggles with the Orlando Magic present a buy-low window, though expectations should reset to top-60 rather than top-30 value. Victor Wembanyama's 27-point, 18-rebound, 5-block performance against the Miami Heat reinforces his dominance, while Stephon Castle's career-best outing creates a sell-high opportunity before De'Aaron Fox return to the San Antonio Spurs. The Charlotte Hornets, Golden State Warriors, and Oklahoma City Thunder rotations all face scrutiny as managers navigate short-term streaming versus long-term holds.

Get the complete breakdown of Thursday's performances, FAAB bidding strategies, and weekend lineup decisions for your fantasy basketball roster.
