BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Can somebody please tell me how Kevin Huerter aka the Red Mamba aka White Sniper is rostered just in a little bit more than one of every Yahoo fantasy leagues!? I get it. Kev is logging low usage rates, plays in a team (and a unit, as he's starting daily) that features possession-eating guys like Trae Young, John Collins, and Clint Capela, but it's not that you can roster players as productive as Huerter in super low-maintenance roles, folks.
Huerter has played an average of 31 MPG in the past 12 games getting back to Nov. 9 included. He started every game other than the Nuggets joint back on Nov. 12 when he had an off-outing playing 31 minutes off the pine. In the past two weeks of play, in which he's played 7 games, Huerter has averaged a nice 12-3-3 line adding 0.6 SPG and limiting his turnovers to just 1.2 TOPG.
With Trae around the shots will never come in bulky tallies. It is what it is, but we can live with that as Huerter is still hitting his spot-up three-pointers for an average of 1.9 3PM per game in his past 10 games failing to score at least one just once, and topping at 5 (he followed that up with 4) against Boston not long ago. The shooting percentages are sublime at 52.2% in that 10-game span in which he's started every match, and that includes the percentage from both the two-point area and beyond the arc.

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.
