BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 8% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: These are the final days of many teams' fantasy championships, so as injuries and rest start to mess with your lineups you need some replacements. The New Orleans Pelicans can sympathize because they've been decimated by injuries. As a result, guys like Alexis Ajinca are getting a chance to be go-to scorers. On Wednesday, Ajinca scored 18 points while racking up nine boards and adding a steal. That makes three of the last four contests that he's scored double digit points.

For a big man his FG% isn't great, but he can get you rebounds and is a fringe double-double threat. He can also add some blocks and steals, which gives him decent value. If you're desperate for a serviceable big man, Ajinca could be your guy. With such little time left, you have to roll the dice. His scoring may be a little inconsistent, but he's going to get the opportunities. All it takes is one big game to win you your fantasy title.
