BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Let's all take a moment of silence for the resting Marcus Morris... Okay, that's it. The Clippers rested Morris yesterday in facing the Rockets, and it is not that they truly missed him as they ended getting another W into their bag and are now in clear contention for the no. 2 spot--if not the top position on the West. Don't get it wrong, though. Morris has been a staple in Clippers lineups for a long time now, having started every game he's played getting back to Mar. 15, more than a month ago. He's playing a ton of minutes, is a lock to feature at the PF spot, and that will stay the same once he gets back on the court for the next game.
Morris' run of performances in the last two weeks of games has been sublime. Getting back to Apr. 11, and in the six games he's logged in that span before sitting out on Friday, Morris was putting up a ridiculous 21-5-1 line per game. He was able to score 22+ points in three of those six games, never fell below 15 points in any of those six, and hit at least 2 triples in every one of those performances while averaging 3.6 3PG in that span while keeping up an overall 58% field goal percentage from the floor on a more than healthy 14 FGA diet.
It'd be foolish to extrapolate such a small sample to a full season of games, I know, and the truth is that Morris averages on the year are lower at 13-4-1. But in the past 14 days Morris is averaging the same line as the likes of Luka Doncic, Paul George, Stephen Curry, and Zach LaVine have been able to put up this season, including a 3+ 3PG threshold. That's absolutely insane for someone who is not even cracking the 40-percent rostership in Yahoo leagues these days. Morris is a must-add in 10-team/almost every league ROS. Make sure no GM gets him before you do.

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.
