BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues
ANALYSIS: We're just hours removed from the very awful news that Lonzo Ball's missing the next four-to-six weeks with a left meniscus injury... only to witness Grayson Allen grabbing and launching Alex Caruso to the ground with a very reckless defensive move on Friday. Caruso seems to have sustained no injury, but we'll see how that goes. In any case, Ayo Dosunmu has been fantastic for the Bulls recently even with Coby White starting games and Caruso back on the lineup.
Ayo has started the four games the Bulls played in the past week, from last Saturday through Friday. He's logged an absolutely stunning 40-38-39-40 minutes in those, and barring his dud against Milwaukee on Friday he's been clearly sublime. Just peep the average line: 15-5-7-2 per game on 39 MGP. Of course, it'd be just ridiculous to expect this type of production to stay there ROS, even less with some bodies getting back warm (Caruso now, Lonzo later) limiting the minutes Dosunmu will enjoy going forward. But the efficiency has been great and we have to bank on that staying up.
Dosunmu has averaged an above-average 0.95 DKFP per game in the past four games, and although he cratered to a 0.54 figure against the Bucks (22% shooting, 5-6-6-1 line though) he has been at 0.99+ in the other three games played in that span. The shooting from the field is absolutely incredible (though on very low volume) at a massive 54% on the season. Other than that, the assists have good, the rebounds low but steady, and the steals' upside is something to really consider when looking at Ayo.

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.
