Jerryd Bayless (PG/SG, MIL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 17% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: Jerryd Bayless has rattled off three double digit scoring games in a row and he is worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues. On Tuesday, Bayless put up 14 points, with one rebound and two assists in 32 minutes of playing time. Nothing flashy about this stat line, but the four shots from downtown were nice. Bayless got some extra minutes on Tuesday because his backcourt mates Michael Carter-Williams and O.J. Mayo were in foul trouble.

Mayo's return from injury will cap Bayless' value, which is why he's only a deep league option for now. Keep an eye on him though. Should MCW get traded, Bayless could get a boost in fantasy value at the trade deadline, especially if another starting caliber PG isn't sent back. He should bring decent assist numbers to the table while offering some three-point upside and the occasional steal.
