Trevor Ariza (SG/SF, MIA): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: With nine games to go, the Miami Heat are far from reaching the Bubble-Finals level of play they showed last season, but are already a lock to make the postseason. No joke, considering how fluky their start to the year was after that […]

PJ Dozier (PG/SG, DEN): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: Whatever food it is they serve in Denver, it's definitely not doing any good to the big-role players around the Rocky Mountains these days. The Nuggets, injury bug or not, keep thriving and winning games as to be on the verge of snatching […]

Jalen Brunson (PG/SG, DAL): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jalen Brunson is a starter! He got the Mavs to bench Luka Doncic on Thursday! Yay! Nope. Doncic missed that game, sure, and that kinda forced Brunson into Dallas' starting lineup, but other than that you are not supposed to expect Brunson starting […]

Kendrick Nunn (PG/SG, MIA): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: I have been telling you about adding Kendrick Nunn for a while now, but it seems like more than half of you aren't listening to my words of wisdom. Shame on you, because Nunn is becoming a better fantasy play by the day. […]

Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Before we go ahead with Chuma Okeke's post: the rookie got banged up last Wednesday facing Cleveland, and he already missed a game in yesterday's affair with Memphis. Alright, now you know what's going on with Okeke and that DNP. That being said, […]

Carmelo Anthony (SF/PF, POR): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: I am thankful to the Basketball Gods for giving me some bonus Melo-time when it all pointed toward an early retirement a few years ago. Yes, I'm Melo's no. 1 stan, he's my favorite player ever, so I could easily watch him play […]

Facundo Campazzo (PG, DEN): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: No more than a couple of weeks ago, rookie (yes) Facundo Campazzo's rostership was at around five percent in Yahoo leagues. A week ago it had risen to slightly above 10%. Entering Saturday it was already sitting at near 30%. If you are […]

Jeff Green (SF/PF/C, BKN): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't remember the last time we watched a fully healthy Nets squad, do you? Anyway. The good thing about that is that 1) Brooklyn seems to be not affected by it, as they have hold of the no. 1 seed in the […]

Oshae Brissett (SF/PF, IND): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you study Oshae Brissett's past, you will not be that surprised about his recent explosion. You will be, of course, but knowing he went undrafted and then signed and played for the Raptors' G League team, then that'd probably soften the impact. The Raptors […]

Khem Birch (PF/C, TOR): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Orlando Magic definitely did Khem Birch a solid back in early April when they decided to cut him from their roster. Orlando didn't have room for the big man, so they chose to make him a free agent and in turn allowed […]

Texas Rangers outfielder Joey Gallo, he of the true three outcomes, had a unique game on Monday, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts. Stripped of chances of belting a home run, Gallo at least walked in his other plate appearance and ultimately scored a run on Nate Lowe's three-run homer in the bottom of the first […]

Jordan Lyles Allows Seven Runs In Loss To Angels

Texas Rangers starter Jordan Lyles started a game for the fifth time this season, and all he could do was throw 2 2/3 innings of awful baseball against the Los Angeles Angels before getting off the mound. Lyles got rocked for 10 hits in 77 pitches thrown, and he also walked three batters for a […]

Anthony DeSclafani Throws First Complete-Game Shutout

San Francisco Giants starter Anthony DeSclafani had a night for the ages with a 100-pitch, complete-game outing that helped his team score a 12-0 win against the Colorado Rockies.

Posey went 4-for-5 in San Francisco's 12-0 trouncing of Colorado, hitting two singles, a double and one two-run homer off Rockies reliever Tyler Kinley. Posey struck out in his other plate appearance while scoring three runs himself and driving in three […]

Mike Trout Returns, Goes 4-for-5 With 2 RBI

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout returned to the lineup on Monday, and it looks like he hasn't skipped a beat. Trout had missed the past couple games after being hit by a pitch in the elbow, but that didn't affect him on Monday, as he put together a 4-for-5 effort with three singles and […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 18

The deeper a fantasy 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 help […]

While Webb allowed three hits and […]

Austin Slater Steals Two Bags But Strikes Out Three Times

San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater went 0-for-3 on Sunday against Miami in a 4-3 win for his team.

Slater could only reach base once on Sunday when […]

Max Muncy Walks A Season-High Five Times On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy put on a walking show while facing the Padres on Sunday, thanks to his five bases on balls on six trips to the plate. While Muncy didn't record a hit in his lone logged at-bat, his five walks (one of them intentional) marked a season-high for him after he […]
