BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Somebody explains to me how Royce O'Neale, Utah Jazz starter in all 11 games through Thursday. Yes, I know, Royce is not a world-beater, but again, he's starting games and playing north of 31 MPG, folks! Where can you find such a guy in almost 80% of fantasy leagues!?
O'Neale is quite relegated on offense when it comes to using/finishing plays. That makes sense, considering Utah features the likes of Donovan Mitchell, Rudy Gobert, and Bojan Bogdanovic. The good thing about O'Neale, though, is that he's a reasonably good fantasy asset entirely non-dependant on scoring, which is nice to have around. Royce is pulling down 7.5 RPG on the season while dishing out 2 APG and getting almost a steal per game.
In the past three games (all played in the last seven days) Royce has put up a 7-6-4-1 line while also blocking a shot. He has committed just three turnovers in those three games combined, and the only thing missing on his game is really getting to the free-throw line. If he can get there, he could turn into a much-more-rostered player down the road.

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 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Nets can finally rest assured they'll make the play-in portion of the season.
