BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Danny Green got himself a ring last season playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, and not happy with staying with the current, defending chaps, opted for a more challenging way to face the 2021 season: signing with the contender Philadelphia 76ers for another attempt at glory. And so far, so good for a Green that is starting nightly for the Sixers (he's 33-of-33) and playing north of 29 minutes while at it.
Green is at a point in his career when he's no longer the honcho of the defense nor the offense, but he's still more than usable as a starter and productive asset. Just looking at game logs from this month, Green has logged at least 26 minutes in all but two games (10-of-12) and his per-minute efficiency numbers aren't great in fantasy terms just because those minutes have been super heavy.
Danny is at an average 8-3-1-1 line in the past 12 contests, which is not going to blow your mind away, but he's also doing what you would expect from him: hitting treys with gusto. Green is dropping 2.3 3PG in February and 2.2 on the season as a whole, which talks about a steady producer on that front. His true shooting percentage sits at 63% on the last 12 games, and at an even better 72% in the past couple of weeks. If you're hurting for scoring/three-point shooting with some upside on the rebounds/steals cats, Danny is your man.

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 […]
