BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Second week in a row I'm breaking the rostership-law thanks the Wave Papi. Makes sense, though. Kelly Oubre Jr. has been a freakish revelation coming off the pine for the Hornets, and so should he be doing for you in pretty much every fantasy league in which you are currently managing a squad of ballers.
Oubre started five of the six first games of the season covering injured teammates but has come off the pine from Oct. 31 on. And man, has he thrived. Just looking at games from Nov. 10 to this past Friday, Oubre has played an average of 27 MPG while putting up nightly 17-3 lines with gusto. Oubre has finished just two games below 10 points in that span, and only twice did he shoot lower than 41% from the floor.
The thing with KOJ is simple: points and treys in bunches, reasonable rebounding, limited turnovers, and the odd dime/steal/block. Don't count on heavy numbers on those last three cats, though, as not even an explosion would probably see Oubre reaching huge numbers there. But the treys are sublime with Oubre averaging 3.3+ 3PM per game in the last nine games and only missing on scoring at least one just once in the past 16 days of play.

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 […]

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 […]
