Jonathan Kuminga (SF/PF, GSW): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues

ANALYSIS: We're getting closer to watching Draymond Green getting back to the court but given Golden State's current position in the standings (almost locked into the no. 3 seed) and the fact that there are only 15 games left on the schedule, would it be too much of a risk to play Dray before he's fully recovered, or even risking his postseason health at all, no matter his true conditioning when available? I'm not convinced the Warriors will take that gamble, and it's not that they really need it as rookie Jonathan Kuminga has exceeded all expectations.

Kuminga averaged a measly 12 MPG from the start of the season to Jan. 31. Seriously. He only played 25 or more minutes four times in that span while spot-starting four games. From the start of February on, though, the rook has played 16 matches, logged a more than palatable 25 MPG, started three outings, and performed incredibly well. Kuminga has been good to post an average 15-4-1 line with 1+ stocks per game on top of that.

The shooting percentages are great at 57.5% in that span and 52/35/69 over the season--again, nothing to be ashamed of considering his freshman status and the fact that he's attempting 2+ 3PA per game. Among top-of-the-order rookies, Kuminga is one of only seven guys with those 3PA and FG% marks. That group goes down to just three (Chris Duarte and Franz Wagner the other two) players if you account for Kuminga's 3 RPG. Nothing to lose betting on JK.

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 […]

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.

Immanuel Quickley (PG, NYK): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: If we use common basketball sense, then the New York Knicks and Coach Thibs should try and see what the young guys such as Immanuel Quickley have in them and what they can provide the franchise with ROS, as the NYK are […]

Deni Avdija (SG/SF, WAS): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: One would reasonably think that a player seeing a playing-time boost such as that of Deni Avdija's this month would make said player drop his efficiency numbers. Well, not the case for the Wiz Wing by the looks of it. Avdija has […]
