Fantasy Basketball Daily: Caleb Wilson Drops 30 and 14 in His First Double-Double

Chicago rookie Caleb Wilson scored 30 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in the Bulls' 124-120 loss to Washington on Saturday night, his first career double-double. Teammate Matas Buzelis added 21 points, but Wilson was the story: 30 and 14 from a rookie in his own building, in a game Chicago lost because Washington outscored the Bulls 40-20 in the third quarter.

If Caleb Wilson is on your waiver wire, his 30-point, 14-rebound night is the kind of rookie breakout that becomes a roster spot before the rest of your league catches on. Rookies do not put up 30 and 14 by accident, and Chicago has minutes and touches to give while it sorts out its rotation. This is an Add in deeper leagues and a Watch in shallow ones, with one more big night turning it into an Add everywhere.

The other names from Saturday: Joel Embiid posted his 10th career triple-double with 28 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in Philadelphia's 127-116 win over Milwaukee, and the 76ers are 3-0. Devin Booker scored 43 points with seven assists and seven rebounds in Phoenix's 131-122 win over Golden State, sending the Warriors to 0-3. Nikola Jokic recorded his 199th career triple-double in Denver's 141-135 win over New Orleans.

The rest of the night in one pass: Tyrese Maxey scored 26 for Philadelphia and rookie VJ Edgecombe added 17 points and 13 rebounds. Trae Young had 25 points and nine assists for Washington in the win at Chicago. Jaime Jaquez Jr. led Milwaukee with 21 points and Kel'el Ware had 19 points and 13 rebounds off the bench in the loss.

So the calls are Add on Wilson in deeper leagues, Watch in shallow ones, and a reminder that Embiid at full health is a first-round engine again. Sunday brings seven more NBA games, and the wire moves fast this early in the season.
