BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues
ANALYSIS: When it comes to Brooklyn Nets' players outside of their Big 3, there is nothing clear or set in stone about who will and who will not perform any given day. The trio of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving will rack up numbers on a daily basis, but who of Bruce Brown, Jeff Green, or Joe Harris would be the fourth-man to get the most of playing along those in the first group is just a nightly coin flip.
Lately, though, Bruce Brown has been the main beneficiary. Brown has played 30 games this season while starting 17 of them including the last eight. He's played between 20 and 34 minutes in each of those, starting in Feb. 10 and going all the way up to last Wednesday against Orlando, when he logged a ridiculous 37 plus/minus. In that 15-day span, Brown has averaged a sweet 11-4-1-1 line while shooting a stupid 60 percent from the floor on 7+ FGA and some not-so-bad 33 percent from beyond the three-point line.
The thing about all of those complementary Nets, Brown included, is that more often than not they find paths to the basket and get spot-up shots on wide-open positions because of the magnetism of the Big 3 drawing defenders' attention. Brown is more of the former than the latter mold, though, rim-running more than looking for three-pointers. Even then, though, he's dropped 13, 29, and 14 pops in his last three games through Thursday and that will stay there because of the clear-cut opportunities he'll keep getting.

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.

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.
