BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues
ANALYSIS: If you watched the Warriors vs. Magic game a few days ago, you probably don't want to know anything about Ennis. Steph Curry switched onto him on a bunch of plays and cooked him with gusto... on defense. On offense, though, Ennis was as good as ever, and in fact, had his best game of the season to this point with a 36-FP performance in which he put up his first dub-dub with a 17-10-1-2 stuffed line. Not bad for a player rostered in barely one of each 10 Yahoo leagues, if you ask me.
With Jonathan Isaac out for the year, Aaron Gordon out at least a month, and Al-Farouq Aminu getting back only slowly, it's been Ennis' year at the SF position this season. Ennis has started 19 of the 20 games he's been part of, all of them consecutively getting back to Jan. 8. And in February we can very well affirm he's stepped up his game a notch.
In the past six games, all of them taking place this month, Ennis has bumped up his averages to a 12-5-1-1 baseline with upside for more. He has scored 10+ points in five of those six games, has hit 7 treys total, and best of all he's shooting a ridiculous 61.4 percent from the floor going back to Jan. 27. If there is a spot-up shooter killing it these days, that's your guy Ennis. He also goes to the line fairly often and avoids turnovers, which makes him a valuable low-usage starter for those in deeper formats.

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 […]
