Larry Nance Jr (PF, LAL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 23% Yahoo!

ANALYSIS: Larry Nance Jr. has become a big part of the young Lakers rotation, but he is still the backup power forward behind Julius Randle, and is sitting on so many waiver wires as a result. Nance is a decent contributor to any fantasy team that values defensive stats. He is getting his owners 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks in just 22 minutes per game so far this season. He is also scoring 6.9 points, grabbing 5.6 rebounds and assisting his teammates 1.3 times a night along with hitting 57.6% of his field goal attempts. His rebounds, FG%, blocks and steals can make a difference. So if you're in a deep league, and Nance’s strengths play to your advantage, don't leave him sitting on the waiver wire for too long.
