D.J. Augustin (PG, DEN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 12% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: D.J. Augustin continued a mini-streak of strong play with a 26 point performance against the Lakers on Wednesday. He shot 63% from the field, hitting three 3-pointers and adding five assists. The incredible part of this performance was that 22 of his points came in the fourth quarter. You shouldn't expect explosions like this regularly of course, but it was a good sign that Augustin and Emmanuel Mudiay were able to coexist on the court.

Augustin is worth adding if you need a guard. He should provide decent point totals and middling assist numbers. Keep an eye on how his minute totals fluctuate, but if he continues to see 20+ he's going to have a good chance to produce. He's more of a spec add in deeper leagues for now, but I wouldn't wait too long to put a claim on him.
