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

 Martell Webster-G/F-Trail BlazersNov. 22 - 1:13 am et
Trail Blazers swingman Martell Webster started Saturday's game over Andre Miller, finishing with a season-high 21 points and a season-high 13 rebounds. He played 31 minutes.
The Blazers easily defeated the Timberwolves and there's no reason to think this lineup will change before Portland's next game. Webster made 7-of-13 FGs and 4-of-7 three-pointers, with two assists and just one turnover. With a starting gig in hand, he's worth picking up on the strength of this line alone.
 Andrei Kirilenko-F-JazzNov. 22 - 1:03 am et
Andrei Kirilenko (10 rebounds) and Carlos Boozer (10-of-10 FTs, five turnovers) each scored 22 points in Utah's OT victory on Saturday.
Kirilenko's solid season continues, though his role as sixth-man could somewhat mute his value in the long run. Boozer came into this game as the league's fourth-highest rebounder and managed to grab seven in 42 minutes.

 Paul Millsap-F-JazzNov. 22 - 12:59 am et
Paul Millsap needed five stitches to close a gash above his right eye sustained during Saturday's game, though he returned and played 34 minutes.
Millsap, who had just four points (2-of-6 FGs), four rebounds and two steals, shouldn't be in danger of missing any games.
 Ronnie Brewer-G/F-JazzNov. 22 - 12:58 am et
Ronnie Brewer finished Saturday's game with 15 points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block. He made 6-of-12 and 3-of-6 FTs in 47 minutes.
This was the first time all season that Brewer has had three steals in a game, and his 1.2 steals per game are his lowest since his rookie season. He's averaging a career-high 35 minutes per game, a fact that has been obscured by his abnormally low steals, FG% (48%, vs. 53% lifetime) and FT% (58%, vs. 71% lifetime).
 Ben Gordon-G-PistonsNov. 22 - 12:40 am et
Ben Gordon scored 25 points in an overtime loss to the Jazz on Saturday, going 10-of-20 from the field, 2-of-4 from downtown, and 3-of-4 from the FT line.
He added five rebounds, three assists and two steals, which is icing on the cake for Detroit's explosive scoring guard. And after sitting out nearly all of the fourth quarter on Thursday, he logged 47 minutes in this game.
 Charlie Villanueva-F-PistonsNov. 22 - 12:37 am et
Charlie Villanueva fouled out of Saturday's game, but not before collecting 17 points, eight rebounds, two steals and three blocks in 37 minutes.
CV has had some duds this season, mostly because of foul trouble, but the versatile PF has undeniable potential as the Pistons' go-to option in the frontcourt.
 Luol Deng-G/F-BullsNov. 22 - 12:34 am et
Luol Deng scored 22 points on Saturday, adding three rebounds, one steal and four blocked shots.
Not the robust rebound total Deng's owners were looking for, but the rejections are more than enough compensation. Despite Deng's solid game (9-of-19 shooting), the Bulls couldn't keep up with Denver and fell to 6-6 on the season.
