BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Alex Caruso isn't someone you need to be going out and grabbing immediately, but he has some situational value in deeper leagues, and sometimes that's enough.
Coming into Saturday's contest with the Bulls, Caruso had made six three-pointers over the past four games, plus had four steals over that span.
He isn't going to be getting you buckets on a nightly basis, but what he does provide is highly-efficient treys and steal upside, with a handful of rebounds and steals thrown into the mix.
In 9-cat leagues where you're already set on points and need some of that peripheral stuff, Caruso is going to help you out. You'd like to see his minutes per game inch just slightly closer to 20-plus to give you some comfort, but even in his role off the bench, there's value. He's taken multiple threes in all but two of his games this season and L.A. has some pretty questionable guard depth right now. Maybe the biggest concern is that the Lake Show adds another guard somehow down the stretch, which will push Caruso into a smaller role, but for now I like what I'm seeing from him.

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.
