BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Dwight Howard's MPG since the break: 24; Tony Bradley's MPG: 20. Howard starts: zero; Bradley starts: seven. Howard's rostership: 45%; Bradley's rostership: 5%. At the end of the day, I think it's a matter of who you like the most, the starter or the bench player, the veteran or the youngster, etc, etc. The difference isn't that large, but the rostership difference is definitely wild. For basically the price of a roster spot, you can score yourself the man taking on JoJo's role when he's been out for the Sixer, and also the no. 2 big man in Oklahoma City after the Thunder acquired him just before we crossed this season's trade deadline.
Bradley, same as Howard, and now part of a rebuilding squad, won't give you any single triple even in the craziest of your dreams. That being said, though, he doesn't miss a shot because he just works the rim and although his shooting attempts are as low as they get, at least he makes virtually them all. Bradley's mojo is on the boards, as he's pulling down almost 7 RPG since coming back from the break while dishing out 1.5 APG to go with those rebounds.
Don't do anything stupid when it comes to rostering Bradley, though. His upside is limited even in his new team, and he's in a similar Embiid/Sixers situation now with Horford above him in OKC's pecking order. If you're truly hurting for an interior player, Bradley is putting up above-average per-minute numbers (near 1.00 FP/min; the league average is at 0.90) but he should only be considered a deep, 14-team+ leagues WW target.

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.
