BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues
ANALYSIS: We've reached a point of no return when it comes to accepting Amir Coffey and his role in the Clippers. Coffey is here to stay, full stop. Paul George is out and could miss the whole season. Kawhi Leonard recently brought news of a potential comeback this year... but with PG13 out that's definitely not happening. The Clips lack warm bodies all around the rotation, so Coffey was forced into a heavier role and he's been good enough at it. And that should stay the same ROS.
Coffey has now started eight games in a row for LAC while playing 32 MPG in those matches. This is not just a fluky and random set of games he's just started to instantly hit the pine and play some twenty minutes. Far from it. The usage rate (14.5%) has been quite low, yes, but even then Coffey is hoisting 9+ FGA per day as a starter, and pretty much all of the possessions he takes for himself he's doing so with actual shots and no turnovers to his name (0.75 TOPG).
Amir Coffey is doing his thing all across the board: 13+ PPG, 4+ RPG, 3+ APG, 1+ SPG in this recent starting stint (going back to Jan. 8) are the per-game averages. He's hitting a ridiculous 2.5 3PM in that span and has scored 1+ in seven of those eight games, topping at five and hitting 3+ four times. Just for context, and on the full season, the likes of Rozier, Vooch, Dinwiddie, Tobias, Butler, Irving, or Hayward are averaging something close to that 13-4-3-1 baseline. Coffey has done so in a way smaller timespan, but he's been so good in that frame that he's turned into a must-add through WW these days.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 24: Isaac Okoro, Kris Dunn, Josh Richardson, Corey Kispert, Delon Wright
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. Well, not the case for the Wiz Wing by the looks of it. Avdija has […]
