BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues
ANALYSIS: What is Bruce Brown, really? If you go by Yahoo's position designations, you'll find yourself a forward/center masquerading as a SG. That is not optimal in that it gives no flexibility to Brown's GMs when it comes to putting him in this or that lineup/spot, but the truth is that the Nets have been using Brown as a weirdo-biggie and that has had an impact in his season numbers.
No matter which role Brown is playing, there is something clear about his game: it is there, and it won't go away any time soon. While Brown is not starting games anymore (not at least at the pace he did earlier this season when he had a run of 21 starts out of 24 games played between Feb. 10 and Apr. 4), he's still one of the most valuable pieces Brooklyn has these days as James Harden, Kevin Durant, and Nicolas Claxton (not to mention LaMarcus Aldridge, who straight retired a few days ago) all recover from different injuries with their eyes already in the postseason.
That's why Brown is one of the best second-unit players of this squad these days, and will probably be so ROS. From April 7 on, Brown has played an average of 27 MPG while putting up an 11-9-2-2-1 in his 9 GP. That's some seriously stuffed line right there, and that's also an average performance that is yielding a 1.11 FP/min mark for the guard (?) in that span. It's been six games in a row hitting 24+ FP for Brown, who has topped 30 in four of his last seven; he's logged 10+ points and/or boards in his last four, with two dub-dubs in that span too. With the Nets already thinking in their postseason run, it makes sense for them to not risk a thing when it comes to their bonafide superstars. And if that's the case, you know who will eat big time.

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.

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.
