BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Daniel Theis was a daily fixture in Boston's starting lineups from the start of the season to the trade deadline. Not because Boston stopped playing him, but rather because they cut ties with him entirely as they moved him to Chicago. Theis then proceeded to hit the pine until mid-April, but he's been the Bulls starter at either the PF or C position in every game he's played from Apr. 16 on--that's 12 and counting.
The Bulls looked like a playoff team until they didn't, and they are virtually out of the postseason with a week and change to go. Theis is a pending free agent hitting the open market this summer, which means he should be more than invested in playing his best possible basketball. And that's pretty much what he's been doing the last couple of weeks. In the last six games he has played, from Apr. 26 on, Theis has put up an average 12-8-1-1 line while shooting almost 55% from the floor on low usage rates.
Theis is obviously not the main target of the Bulls offense with the likes of Nikola Vucevic--and now Zach LaVine again--around, but he's making the most with his chances. The points are a nightly fixture, same as the boards, and the steals have come out of the left field with a tasty 7 thefts combined in the past three games. It's going to be hard to see Theis log 40 minutes as he did against Philly on Monday, but we can realistically expect some 28+ ticks a day with a 10-7 baseline from the big man.

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.
