Jodie Meeks (Guard) - Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Add Immediately for Steals/Threes Analysis: He may have been dropped due to the sprained ankle that’s kept him out the last couple weeks, but he’s due back after the All-Star Break, and will likely reclaim a spot in the starting lineup from the uninspiring Wes Johnson. In case you forgot how good Meeks […]

Baller Move: Add Immediately Analysis: DeMarre Carroll – I don’t really think I need to say much about Carroll. He’s been a top 20 fantasy player over the last month. I’ll just file this in the “I can’t believe he’s still less than half-owned category.” Whether it’s the great shooting (.567 since 1/13), the three pointers (2.0/game), […]

Baller Move: Add in Deep Leagues for Rebounds Analysis: PJ Tucker is averaging a solid 7.5 rebounds over the last month. Pair that with percentages and turnover rates that are very reasonable and a solid trickle of about a trey and a steal per game, and you’ve got a guy who can help without hurting […]

Baller Move: Add Immediately Analysis: The big bald man is on fire over the last couple games, putting up back-to-back 20+/10+ games in points and rebounds, as well as blocking multiple shots and even putting up a 3 or 4 assists. This is obviously not going to last – Chris Kaman has not suddenly turned into LaMarcus […]

Ryan Kelly is a young forward for the Lakers, currently filling in as starter in place of Pau Gasol, out with a groin injury. Kelly stands to keep the role– or at least a significant share of it– for the rest of the year if the rumors of Gasol being traded to a contender come true. Kelly […]

Welcome back to relevance, Khris Middleton. In the second half of December, with almost the entire Bucks frontcourt injured, Middleton enjoyed a stretch where he was red hot and averaging 40 minutes a game. He put up top 40 fantasy stats in the process. Now he’s back, playing much better again and averaging 30 minutes a […]

The upside is obvious. Ross is capable of scoring 51 (!!!) points in a game, raining down threes, and contributing a decent tally of steals. And in the short term, while DeMar DeRozan is out with an ankle injury, Ross will be locked into 30+ minutes/game while the reserve wings are busy filling in for DeMar. Ross […]

Baller Move: Add for Blocks Analysis: Johnson is a guy who keeps jumping on and off people’s radars, when he puts up the occasional big game before going quiet again. His problem is that he’s only averaged about 8 points a game, and points per game is usually the biggest number and the first stat people look […]
