Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 24: Isaac Okoro, Kris Dunn, Josh Richardson, Corey Kispert, Delon Wright

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to... Read More

Onyeka Okongwu (SF/PF, ATL): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hawks are currently the 10th seed in the East but are also tied for 8th and 9th with Brooklyn and Charlotte respectively.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Nets can finally rest assured they'll make the play-in portion of the season.

Alperen Sengun (C, HOU): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody was thinking about Houston flipping things from black to white in a single season, and we were all correct with that easy-peasy prediction to make. The Rockets are on their way to another top-3 pick next June, and that's good! Nothing... Read More

Isaiah Roby (PF/C, OKC): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tale of two completely different seasons that of Isaiah Roby.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: Do you know about the Miami Heatles? Do you know who started at the C spot for them back when LBJ/Wade/Bosh were all at the peak of their careers doing it in Florida? Joel Anthony was the man. If I ask you... Read More

Jaxson Hayes (C, NOP): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: With the Blazers tanking and the Spurs incapable of doing a lot, it's possible that New Orleans ends making it all the way to the postseason with either the 9th or 10th seed depending on how erratically the Lakers play ROS. With... Read More

Mason Plumlee (PF/C, CHA): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Saturday was a sad day. Facing the Mavs, Mason Plumlee couldn't crack the 15-FP barrier. That is no bueno, but you know what? We don't care about that, because it'd been quite a streak of games for him beating that threshold--in fact,... Read More

Mason Plumlee (PF/C, CHA): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hornets traded for Montrezl Harrell this past deadline. Although overall Harrell's minutes haven't gone down from those he was getting in Washington, they have cratered in March with three games at just 17 MP. Mason Plumlee has remained the big-boy paint-linchpin... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: It will be necessary to keep an eye on Hassan Whiteside's minutes and role going forward given the recent developments taking place in Salt Lake City, but as long as HW keeps getting around 20 minutes of play ROS he should be...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Charlotte Hornets didn't light any fireworks this past trade deadline, but they did a very solid move in acquiring super-sub Montrez Harrell to bolster the big-men rotation while not losing that much going the other way. Montrezl will go from playing... Read More

Hassan Whiteside (C, UTA): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tons of folks out there disappointed by Utah and its deadline moves, which might be reasonable considering this franchise should be all-in while the Gobert-Mitchell pair is at the peak of its talents.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: I always believed in Jaxson Hayes making in this League, and I'm definitely not jumping off this man's train any time soon, folks.

JaVale McGee (C, PHO): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: See, JaVale McGee is definitely not going to be the man you remember when you think of the current iteration of the Suns in five or ten years.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Another week, another set of starts for the Warriors center given the inexistent depth of the team at the big-man position.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: Raise your hand if you expected Bismack Biyombo to get back like he's done in any capacity.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Unless the Warriors defy the odds and trade for a big man (won't happen), Kevon Looney is going to stay put at the starting C spot while/at least until James Wiseman is fully recovered and available for GSW (which he might still...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: It only took Jeremiah Robinson-Earl two seasons at Villanova to establish himself as a sought-after talent and competitor, and after landing in Oklahoma City as a rookie, the 2021 second-rounder (32nd overall) has seen plenty of on-court opportunity to make an early...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: Even with all of the drama surrounding Kyrie Irving's situation, the Nets can't really complain that much about their health bill these days: only Kyrie (because of his home/away availability issues, though) and Joe Harris (ankle surgery) are out and sitting on...
