    Finding the perfect addition to your Fantasy basketball team via the waiver wire can be the difference between winning your league or going home with nothing. And before you determine which players you should target on the waiver wire this week, you absolutely need to see what SportsLine's NBA Fantasy expert Mike Barner has to say.

    Barner is one of the most respected voices in the industry, whose work has appeared in Sports Illustrated and on Yahoo, RotoWire and KFFL. He's also been featured on ESPN Radio. He digs deep into the data, examining team trends and projecting game outcomes. If there's anybody who knows what it takes to win a league, it's him.

    Now, he's revealed the best widely available free agents ahead of Week 5. One player Barner is advising Fantasy players to target on the Week 5 waiver wire: Nets center DeAndre Jordan, who is still available in 50 percent of leagues. 

    "The Nets made a big splash Wednesday by trading for James Harden, but they lost Jarrett Allen in the deal," Barner said. "Jordan had lost his starting job to Allen, but now he'll start again and he should see a significant increase in playing time. With Allen gone for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Jordan posted nine points, 12 rebounds and two blocks across 28 minutes."

    Barner has also identified which players you should target on waivers if you need a jolt for your squad, including a forward available in nearly 60 percent of leagues who could provide significant value this week. Anyone who adds this player could hit it BIG.

    So which players should you target on the Fantasy basketball waiver wire in Week 5? And which overlooked forward could lead your team to victory this week? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the best league-winning free agents, all from one of the most respected voices in the industry!
