KENYON MARTIN

We're a quarter of the way through the NBA season, and let's talk about some fantasy waiver pickups for Week 7. But before we get to this week's waiver pickups, here are the games played by each team in Week 7. The Pelicans play four games this week and have pretty fantasy-friendly opponents in three of the four games (Thunder, Spurs and Nuggets), so Murphy should have a successful week ahead. Seth Curry is finally over an ankle injury that cost him nine games this season, and he's rounding into form just as the Nets are. The Pistons play three games this week, with two of the three games falling on the lighter Tuesday and Thursday slates.

The Nets moved seven games ahead of ninth-place Washington in the Eastern Conference standings, and now the Wizards hopes of forcing a play-in series are fading. Thomas Bryant had a career-high 30 points and 13 rebounds, and Troy Brown Jr. added 22 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for the Wizards. The Nets are without DeAndre Jordan, Spencer Dinwiddie and Taurean Prince because of positive coronavirus tests before the restart. His 170 jams last season tied Kenyon Martin (2002-03) for the most in a season since the stat first was kept during the 1997-98 season. He is in his first season with the Nets after signing a two-way contract with the team in January.
