BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues
ANALYSIS: I have seen all types of opinions about Josh Hart's value in the league, both in real and fantasy terms. If I had to give my two cents on the man, I'll still recommend adding him to fantasy rosters for cheap as a still-mostly-available WW target before it's too late. In fact, fantasy GMs seem to be slowly but surely catching up to his potential upside ROS as his rostership keeps growing by the day.
At this point through the season, we all know that New Orleans is looking to get out of Lonzo/Redick/Bledsoe's deals and send them packing to other franchises via trade if the opportunity arises before the deadline. It makes sense, considering the Pels are starting to fall off the postseason picture, and that would mean that the likes of Hart, Kira Lewis, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would undoubtedly see a larger role getting handed to them. Not that Hart isn't already valuable as things stand.
Hart is playing 29 MPG on the year and an even higher 31 minutes in the couple of weeks leading to the break. He is not starting any game, sure, but he's still dropping 10-7-2-1 lines nightly with a still-low usage rate of around 13% as part of New Orleans' second unit. In the games that have taken place this month, Hart's scoring has gone up to almost 11 PPG. Hart keeps TOs at bay, is a lock to score 8+ points a night, and has great upside on the boards. Good deep-league target with upside for more if the Pels are "forced" to feature him more heavily in the second half of the season.

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: 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.
