3. T.J. Warren – Buy

There hasn’t been a more exciting player to watch in the NBA’s bubble than T.J. Warren. Always a bucket-getter, Warren has taken his game to a new level and is playing the best basketball of his career.

Warren exploded against the Philadelphia 76ers – scoring a career-high 53 points on 20-29 shooting from the floor. His attack didn’t end there, posting 34 and 32 points in the consequent games.

Warren is averaging the most points of his career in a pure scoring role with the Indiana Pacers. He is asked to do one thing – and he does that thing pretty damn well. The Pacers are trusting Warren to create his own shot at a high rate and he is stepping up big time.

The Warriors would absolutely benefit from having Warren as a release valve for Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. A spark plug like T.J. could be pivotal to their championship hopes. It might cost their upcoming lottery pick and young talent like Eric Paschall to acquire him – but the price could be worth it.
