Jan. 27 -- Just like "Last Call" at a bar, where you suddenly get a little more desperate and not nearly as picky, we’ve got the fantasy hoops equivalent. For people in leagues where they have been decimated by injuries or really deep leagues or just need a long shot name for one week that is definitely available on their wire. Fantasy Basketball Experts Andy Behrens and Christopher Harris search through the dregs to help you make a one week pick-up you won’t regret in the morning.

Andy says: If we've learned anything from Kobe Week, it's this: there's really no need for us to discuss adding Lakers anymore. There just aren't enough scraps falling from Bryant's table.

If we've learned anything else from Kobe's Week, it's that we should love any player going against the Raptors. We discussed this fact last week with respect (or with disrespect) to Toronto's abysmal rebounding. They're dead-last in the league, pulling down a modest 37.3 boards per game. Toronto's opponents are also scoring 102.7 points per game. Not individual opposing players, mind you, although it felt that way on Sunday. But opposing teams are scoring 102.7 per game against them. That's as bad as it gets in the Eastern Conference, and it's the second-worst total in the NBA. (Seattle seems to have the opponents-scoring title locked up after that 152-149 overtime tilt. They're giving up 106.9 per game.) So this week I'll definitely give the Raps' schedule a look before picking my waiver adds.

Pape Sow, C, TOR: I threatened to write about him last week, and here we are. The Papester is back from a trip to the NBDL and is now starting for the hapless Raptors. As often tends to be the theme of Last Call, if you're big-man challenged, you have to give Sow a look. The funny thing is, Sow was recalled by GM Rob Babcock expressly against the wishes of coach Sam Mitchell, to whom Babcock doesn't speak. So many expected Sow would ride pine. But he's played 20 and 22 minutes in Toronto's last two, has five boards and five blocks in those two games, and hits his free throws. For now, Sow replaces Jalen Rose in the starting lineup, and there's no question that he's got the potential to fill it up: for Arkansas of the D-League, he scored 20 a game and grabbed 12 boards per contest, best in that league. As Andy detailed above, the Raptors are going no place fast, and since the Kobe debacle, Mitchell seems quite a bit more open-minded.

Robert Swift, C, SEA: I happen to live near a city where the GM (Danny Ainge) happens to have what borders on unnatural affection for Swift. Ainge is constantly on the verge of trading for the guy, and was heartbroken when he couldn't draft him in 2004. So I hear more than a fantasy hoops fan typically would about the seven-footer. As I mentioned last week, like Sow, Swift has been given a crack at the starting lineup, and in the case of big-man-challenged fantasy squads, that's news. He's started two games so far, and has scored 10.5 points and dragged down 9.5 boards in those contests. As is the case with Sow, he plays for a team going nowhere, which can be nice news: low pressure, low stakes, no one watching, etc. Johan Petro, the erstwhile starting Sonics center, is even younger than Swift and showed very little skill in his 18 starts (3.2 points, 3.3 boards, .48 blocks). It seems to me that Petro has more of the vaunted "upside," but Swift suddenly looks ownable to me now, especially on squads struggling through weeks of Othella Harrington or Dikembe Mutumbo. Regular readers know I'm sort of a sap for new faces among big men, but I think of them kind of like closers in fantasy baseball: there are fewer starting gigs at this position than any other.

Andy says: I love Swift, in a purely analytical/statistical sort of way. I watched him play in a prep all-star game not so long ago, and, considering his skinny dimensions at the time, didn't think that he'd be this useful this soon. But there he is, going for 15 points and seven boards against the Suns, then six and 12 against the Jazz. Nice call.

Quentin Richardson, G/F, NY: This pick could really be any number of available Knicks: David Lee, Nate Robinson, Marvin Webster, Hollis Copeland, Michael Ray Richardson...the point is, you have to like the Knicks' fantasy schedule next week. They'll play four games, including trips to Atlanta on Monday and Toronto on Friday. That's just about as good a slate as you can wish for, fantasy-wise. Q has shot horribly this season (.355 field-goal percentage), but with New York facing such user-friendly opponents, I expect him to find his touch. He won't stop jacking threes until Larry Brown pulls the ball from his cold, benched hand. Which, of course, could happen. But Richardson, whose percent-ownership has fallen to nearly single-digits, is definitely worth a flier if your squad needs points and threes.

Tyson Chandler, F/C, CHI: OK, stop laughing. Seriously. It's not that funny. We're into the portion of the Bulls' season that I like to affectionately call "Chandler Comes Alive!" Or maybe I call it that derisively. Whatever. Chandler just went off for 15 points and 14 boards against the Pacers, then followed it up with 11 and eight in a win against the Raptors. His resurgence has forced the seemingly unmovable Mike Sweetney to the Chicago bench. Tyson was a preseason sleeper pick who, well...remained asleep until very recently. His percent-ownership plummeted to practically nil, but, after his solid outing against Jermaine O'Neal and Co., owners have warmed to him again. Chandler doesn't really do much to create his own offense, but games against Dallas and Phoenix next week should allow him to pick up cheap points and rebounds. Until he fouls out, that is. He is a renowned fouler. Still, it's unlikely that there is another player available on your league's waiver wire who is capable of grabbing high double-digit rebounds. Chandler is definitely in play.

Chris says: I considered the myriad Knicks, because of their enticing schedule, but like you, Andy, I had a hard time deciding on one. Let's just say Larry's rotation is something shy of stable at this point. But I agree...Brandi's beau could be a nice pickup. As for Chandler, well, is there a Bull you haven't recommended this season? Who's next? Norm Van Lier? Naturally, you're right: Chandler's got it in him to go on a tear. But I'm not betting my fantasy butt on it.
