BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues
ANALYSIS: All of a sudden, Milwaukee is the second-best team in the East. Say what!? That's right, folks. Kind of, at least. The Bucks and the Nets are tied for the second spot with an equally nice 43-24 record each. But the Bucks, good for them, hold the tiebreaker over Brooklyn. There is virtually no chance the Bucks can jump above Philly (3.0 GB) but with an easy schedule ROS and the Nets facing Denver on Saturday (and most probably not risking a thing when it comes to KD/Kyrie/Harden) odds are the Bucks lock onto the no. 2 and secondary players take on a slightly heavier role. Enter über-efficient Bryn Forbes.
Don't get overly excited. Forbes was super-great in the three-game span between Apr. 27 and Apr. 30 but he's cooled down a bit since in his four games this month. No matter what, though, Forbes has been impressive for the usage rates he's logged (18%) and minutes he's played in the last seven games (24 MPG). Forbes has averaged an above-average 0.98 FP/min, almost a point per minute on the court, and he's reached 20+ FP in four of his last seven matches. We're talking a super-deep league WW target here, obviously, but quite a good one for those out there still fighting for something this upcoming week(end).
Forbes has scored at least 10 points in seven straight games. He's also scored 2+ triples in each of those matches. Forbes is keeping up a sweet 60% accuracy from the floor on a healthy 10 FGA per game. His true shooting is all the way up at 78% because he's excelling from beyond the three-point line snipping treys daily. Forbes doesn't offer much more than scoring and three-pointing, but you can't ask for much more this late in the season while finding such products available for free in most Yahoo leagues.

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 […]
Onyeka Okongwu (SF/PF, ATL): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
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 […]
