BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Malik Beasley has played 67 games this season. In other words, Malik Beasley has appeared in all but one game this season for the Wolves. Not only is he playing, but he's also getting his fair 25 MPG over the year. And although Beasley is not been a season-long starter in Minny he's still found his way toward the starting lineup of late and even off the pine he's one of the main performers doing it for the postseason Wolves.
March has been a good month for MB so far: six games played through Friday, three starts, 27 MPG, and a fantastic 18-3-1-1 average line. Beasley came back down to Earth a bit last Friday when he finished with an 8-4-2-2 line against Orlando, yes, but he was coming off a career night a couple of days before when he destroyed OKC to the tune of 33 points and 11 triples to go with 5 boards and a dime. Yes, you read that right: Beasley became just the 15th player in the history of the Association to hit 11+ treys in a single game and just the fourth to do that while shooting 64%+ from the floor on the day (Steph, Klay, and FVV are the other ones; insane company).
Don't get overly excited, though. That was cool to watch, but not a nightly thing. Even then, though, Beasley's March has been incredible with the guard hitting 4+ treys in five of his last six games while keeping up a 48%+ shooting percentage from the floor. Getting a little bit more back and looking at his numbers post-ASB, Beasley is a nightly 51% shooter. The turnovers are nearly nonexistent (0.6 TOPG vs. 1.6 APG on the season) so there is no problem rostering MB in all sorts of formats. Beasley is just a shooter and he'll hand you goodies on all-fronts-shooting, but not much more than that, thus the "low" 50/50 rostership in Yahoo leagues.

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 […]
