The regular season is winding down for most fantasy college basketball leagues, and so it's important to stay on top of who is available on the waiver wire. Chances are there is someone out there who can improve your squad. I've gone through a number of different conferences to find players who are widely available and who have been on the rise of late.

Power Conferences
Shelton Henderson, F/C, Miami (Fantrax Ownership: 10%)
Henderson made the column after some big games earlier this season, but the consistency of late has been impressive and he is still likely available in your league. He has scored at least 12 points in eight straight games, and over that stretch is averaging 17.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals per contest. Henderson has also been incredibly efficient at 64.6 percent from the field over these last eight. Miami faces North Carolina and N.C. State this week.
Sananda Fru, F/C, Louisville (8%)
Louisville's frontcourt has been a little disappointing this season, but Fru has certainly shined above the rest. The 6-11 center is averaging 10.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game this

Sananda Fru, F/C, Louisville (8%)
Louisville's frontcourt has been a little disappointing this season, but Fru has certainly shined above the rest. The 6-11 center is averaging 10.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game this season and has three double-doubles. Fru is also among the nation's leaders in field goal percentage at 75.4 percent. Louisville plays N.C. State and Baylor this week, two teams that have pretty small interiors.
Kanye Clary, G, Oklahoma State (1%)
Clary has changed his identity on this Oklahoma State team. In the 2023-24 season at Penn State he averaged 16.7 PPG. Last year he struggled with injury at Mississippi State and was limited to seven games. This year he has shown the ability to score at times, but has embraced being a distributor even more. Clary ranks inside the top 10 in the Big 12 in assists (5.0 APG). He has heat up from a fantasy perspective over the last nine games in which he is averaging 11.3 points, 5.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers per contest. This Oklahoma State team has a favorable schedule upcoming and is looking to make a push towards the NCAAA Tournament.
Pablo Tamba, G/F/C, LSU (<1%)
The UC-Davis transfer is averaging a career-high 7.3 rebounds per game this season for LSU which ranks seventh in the SEC. Tamba is coming off his seventh double-digit rebounding game of the season. Over his last four games Tamba is putting up 8.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.3 blocks. He has been a Swiss army knife for coach Matt McMahon and will look to keep things rolling this week against Arkansas and Tennessee.
Kam Woods, G, USC (<1%)
Woods is on his fifth different school, but is playing some really strong ball for the Trojans right now. He was added to the roster in late December after spending last season at Robert Morris. It has taken some time for him to get his footing, but Woods is putting up 18.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.8 steals over the last four games. Coach Eric Musselman doesn't really have much of a choice with Rodney Rice done for the season and Chad Baker-Mazara battling a knee injury. Woods is going to play a ton of minutes and be heavily involved on the stat sheet.
Alijah Arenas, G, USC (9%)
Arenas is kind of in the same boat as Woods. Because of the backcourt injuries, he is going to be heavily involved going forward. Arenas missed the first 2.5 months of the season with a knee injury, but is starting to catch fire. Last week he has 29 points against Indiana and then 24 points against Penn State. USC has an interesting upcoming schedule against some opponents who have struggled on the defensive side of the ball for larger stretches of the season.
Roman Siulepa, F/C, Pittsburgh (2%)
Siulepa is nearly averaging a double-double over his last six games at 11.7 points and 9.5 rebounds. He also is contributing in other categories like steals (1.3 SPG), blocks (1.2 BPG) and three-pointers (1.2 3PM) of late. It has certainly been a disappointing season for the 9-15 Panthers, but this freshman gives them a lot of reason for optimism in the future. Pitt has a tough slate of games next week, but after that it is quite manageable. Siulepa could be the difference for your squad down the stretch.
Bryson Tiller, F/C, Kansas (6%)
Tiller has started the last 20 games for the Jayhawks and his skillset makes Kansas a potential Final Four contender on both ends of the ball. Tiller has found his groove averaging 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 blocks over the last four games. Kansas is putting him on opposing guards on the defensive end, which has given teams problems because of his length and ability to move his feet. Tiller has also been great in the high-low game with Flory Bidunga.

Dillan Shaw, F/C, Saint Mary's
Shaw has started the last 14 games for Saint Mary's. Over that stretch he is putting up 9.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.9 three-pointers per contest. Shaw is also shooting over 43 percent from behind the arc on the season. The Gaels have some great offensive players like Paulius Murauskas and Joshua Dent on the roster, but Shaw's development as a freshman has them looking like a potential sleeper in March.
Khaden Bennett, G, Wyoming
Bennett has been very productive of late, averaging 15.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.7 three-pointers, 2.7 assists and 2.7 steals over the last three games. Bennett's ability to contribute in a ton of different categories makes him an appealing option despite how much Wyoming has struggled in Mountain West play.
Luke Haupt, G, UNLV
Haupt is coming off a career-high 30 points against Boise State on Saturday. Prior to that he had never scored more than 11 points in a game. Haupt has been able to contribute in a lot of different categories this season, but if he can continue to add in this scoring it will only make him a stronger fantasy play. Over the last 11 games the 6-7 wing is averaging 10.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.9 steals.
David Dixon, F/C, Duquesne
Dixon has been on the rise over the last month or so. The 6-9 senior is putting up 9.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 1.3 steals over the last 11 games. Dixon has been a solid role player for the Dukes over the prior three seasons, but now he is getting the chance to make a big difference and he has been filling up the stat sheet to prove it.
