David Nwaba

David Nwaba was waived by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Nwaba was sent over to Oklahoma City from Houston in a multi-player trade in September, but his tenure with the team will be short-lived. He may find his way onto another roster before the season starts, and this move should clear the path for some younger players to climb the depth chart in Oklahoma City.

Rockets guard David Nwaba (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Jazz.

Check back shortly for the fantasy impact.

Houston Rockets guard David Nwaba (wrist) will be out at least six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair his strained left wrist.

Fantasy Impact

With Nwaba sidelined for six weeks, the already thin Rockets roster takes another big blow. In the veteran's absence, expect Sterling brown to see a bump in his roll.

David Nwaba produced 22 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3PT, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one turnover in 27 minutes off the bench during Monday's blowout loss to the Bulls.

Fantasy Impact

Nwaba led the Rockets in both scoring and rebounding on a night where the team collapsed in the third quarter. He continues to see heavy minutes off the bench as the team figures out it's next move with DeMarcus Cousins. He should hold some fantasy relevance over the next couple of weeks but may lack consistency from time-to-time. He'll look to stay in rhythm during Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

David Nwaba posted 19 points (7-10 FG, 0-3 3PT, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block, and two steals across 41 minutes during Monday's loss to the Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

This was easily Nwaba's best performance of the season, as he was given some extra playing time with Eric Gordon ruled out. The 28-year-old guard should continue to remain on the streaming radar while Gordon and Victor Oladipo remain out, though he's not someone you want to trust when the Rockets are at full health. He'll look to stay in rhythm for Wednesday's game against the Sixers.
