Rudy Fernandez and Chris Douglas-Roberts are featured as hot pickups as Waiver Wired gets you ready for Week 5 in the NBA.

 Gilbert Arenas-G-WizardsNov. 22 - 2:36 am et
Gilbert Arenas accused his teammates of having "hidden agendas" after Saturday's loss, which dropped the Wizards to 3-9.
Arenas mentioned that eight of his teammates will be free agents this summer. "I converted my game to try to get people involved, but at the end of the day, to be honest, this is the same team since three years ago," he said. "Do I have to go in attack mode like I was two years ago to get us over this hump? I hope not...I think the only person who actually had to sacrifice is me. Everybody else can just play their game." It remains to be seen whether this diatribe awakens the Wizards or makes things even worse.

 Rudy Fernandez-G-Trail BlazersNov. 22 - 1:58 am et
Blazers guard Rudy Fernandez made just 1-of-9 FGs on Saturday (1-of-6 from downtown), adding four rebounds, five assists and two steals 24 minutes.
Fernandez is normally a reliable shooter, but his owners need to be concerned that Portland's roster shakeup (Martell Webster starting, Andre Miller off the bench) will cut into his playing time. Keep an eye on him over the next few games.
 Corey Brewer-G/F-TimberwolvesNov. 22 - 1:50 am et
Corey Brewer was plagued by foul trouble on Saturday and finished with just six points and one rebound in 22 minutes.
At least he added one steal and one block, two main sources of his value. He's averaging 11.5 points this season, but shooting just 36% from the field, 21% from downtown, and 64% from the FT line.
 Oleksiy Pecherov-F/C-TimberwolvesNov. 22 - 1:46 am et
Wolves big man Oleksiy Pecherov had 12 points and 10 rebounds on Saturday, picking up five fouls in 30 minutes of action.
Pecherov isn't exactly a well-rounded player, but until Kevin Love returns he'll put up sporadic games like this. He isn't worth picking up outside of very deep leagues.
 Greg Oden-C-Trail BlazersNov. 22 - 1:42 am et
Greg Oden was very effective in 24 minutes on Saturday, scoring 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting, with five rebounds and three blocks.
It's nice to see Oden flash his offensive repertoire, though it's worth noting that his three highest scoring games have been against the Warriors (16), Wolves (18) and the Wolves again (16). Like all of the Blazers' starters, he got plenty of rest in a blowout.
 LaMarcus Aldridge-F/C-Trail BlazersNov. 22 - 1:38 am et
LaMarcus Aldridge had just 10 points and three rebounds in Saturday's blowout win over the Wolves.
Nothing to worry about here -- foul trouble and an overmatched opponent conspired to limit Aldridge to just 22 minutes of action.
 Steve Blake-G-Trail BlazersNov. 22 - 1:36 am et
Trail Blazers point guard Steve Blake had 14 points (5-of-7 FGs), four 3-pointers, four rebounds and nine assists in Saturday's victory.
Keeping in mind the Blazers defeated the 1-12 Timberwolves, this was still a very impressive game. And with Andre Miller out of the starting lineup (at least for the moment) there are plenty of reasons to pick up Blake.
