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. There's even a chance (albeit small) that Atlanta could rise as high as to reach the 7th seed if... Read More
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... Read More
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... Read More
Nicolas Claxton (PF/C, BRK): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Nets can finally rest assured they'll make the play-in portion of the season. Not quite what you expected when the season got rolling back in October, but at least more than what the Lakers would have accomplished a week from now.... Read More
Markelle Fultz (PG/SG, ORL): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Orlando Magic knew they would stink all season long when things got started all the way back in October. And they, indeed, have sucked for good currently being in possession of the NBA's worst record and already looking at the top... Read More
Alex Caruso (PG/SG, CHI): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: Whether Chicago ends fifth or sixth in the Eastern Conference standings won't matter much for the Bulls. The good news for them is that it's going to be hard for Cleveland to catch them in the table as the Cavs are three... Read More
Matisse Thybulle (SG/SF, PHI): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: Matisse Thybulle has grabbed hold of the starting SF role and he's just not surrendering it ROS. That said, MT's minutes have been a bit shaky of late ranging from 16 to 34 in the past couple of weeks of play. Thybulle... Read More
Kevin Huerter (SG, ATL): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hawks threw both Washington and New York out of play-in contention, locked into the pre-post-season at the very least, and most of that had to do with the late exploits of Atlanta's Red Mamba Kevin Huerter. Nothing new here, as Huerter... Read More
Killian Hayes (PG/SG, DET): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Killian Hayes started all games (34 of them) to kick his second pro-season off, he's only done so three more times since Jan. 23. Nothing wrong with that, though, at least at the point we find ourselves into the season. That's... Read More
Alec Burks (SG, NYK): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of leagues ANALYSIS: I know I'm going a little bit over the fifty-rostership self-imposed limit here, but it's the last week of the regular season so let's give it a bit of room to breathe. If you can still find Burks available for free, and... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 23: Obi Toppin, Josh Richardson, Payton Pritchard, Theo Maledon, Justin Anderson
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... Read More
Alperen Sengun (C, HOU): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody was thinking about Houston flipping things from black to white in a single season, and we were all correct with that easy-peasy prediction to make. The Rockets are on their way to another top-3 pick next June, and that's good! Nothing... Read More
Oshae Brissett (SF/PF, IND): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm tired of this whole "Indiana never tanks" narrative. You tell me what the Pacers are doing if not tanking with their current 13th seed out East and putrid 25-49 record at press time on Saturday. Good for the Pacers, though, is... Read More
Trendon Watford (SF, POR): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: You can look at Trendon Watford's game log through the 2022 season and easily spot the turning point in the Blazers' campaign and their goals. Watford played more than 20 minutes in exactly two times before February, but he's now logged 20+... Read More
Jose Alvarado (PG, NOP): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: You have to be happy for Jose Alvarado and his underdog story. Alvarado will be turning 24 years old in a couple of weeks, went undrafted last summer after spending four years in Georgia Tech, and of course was always seen as... Read More
Obi Toppin (SF/PF, NYK): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Is it finally happening? Are the New York Knicks finally going to do it? After a year and a half, is Coach Thibs willing to play Obi Toppin once for all? We gotta give that thought a little bit of pause given... Read More
Isaiah Roby (PF/C, OKC): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tale of two completely different seasons that of Isaiah Roby. From opening day to Christmas, Roby appeared in 14 games playing a grand total of 172 minutes. From Dec. 28 through Friday he's appeared in 22, started 18 of those, played an... Read More
Herbert Jones (SF/PF, NOP): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 54% of leagues ANALYSIS: See, it sucks to have Zion Williamson missing another full season, but we're inching closer to that becoming a reality whether Z-Will wants it or not – looks like those dunk reels over IG aren't cutting it for NOLA to bring him... Read More
Tre Mann (PG/SG, OKC): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rooks gonna rook' unless they play for OKC, I guess. Enter Tre Mann, the Mighty Man. The first half-and-change of the season wasn't remotely good for Mann's fantasy GMs when it came to his upside and the usage Oklahoma was giving him.... Read More
Payton Pritchard (PG, BOS): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is a thing called improvement that happens often in the NBA. Now, that said, who saw this coming from Boston after they started the season with a 25-25 record through the end of January!? No cap, folks. The last couple of... Read More
Bones Hyland (PG/SG, DEN): Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: Contrasting reporters in the past few days around the Nuggets facilities and the short-term future of the squad. You know what I'm talking about: Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. making their respective comebacks in time for a postseason run. It was... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 22: Onyeka Okongwu, Isaac Okoro, Trey Lyles, Torrey Craig, 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... Read More
Bruce Brown (SG/SF/PF, BKN): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been 16 consecutive starts and counting for Bruce Brown at the Nets SF position. Shouldn't change any time soon, as NYC Mayor Adams doesn't seem to be too inclined to lift the COVID-related ban that is preventing Kyrie to play home... Read More
Bones Hyland (PG/SG, DEN): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: Was Jamal Murray's injury a blessing in disguise? Was Bones Hyland destined to be drafted and heavily played by the Nugs no matter what? I don't know about that, but I for sure know Denver found a golden Nugget (pun intended) in... Read More
Brandon Clarke (PF, MEM): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Clarke's minutes have gone down a bit in the past two games, but there should be nothing to worry about regarding that as he's one of the NBA's true super-subs and he should stay on that path. Memphis is currently seeded... Read More
Naz Reid (C, MIN): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: Now in the middle of his third season as a pro, Naz Reid is on pace to play as many NBA games as he's done in his first two seasons as he's appeared on 67 of the Wolves 72 so far and... Read More
Kevon Looney (PF/C, GSW): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: Do you know about the Miami Heatles? Do you know who started at the C spot for them back when LBJ/Wade/Bosh were all at the peak of their careers doing it in Florida? Joel Anthony was the man. If I ask you... Read More
Patrick Beverley (PG/SG, MIN): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing this a couple of hours after Minny's game against Milly last Saturday. If you paid attention, you already know. If you didn't, let me tell you. Basically, Patrick Beverley PatBerveley'd his way to the bench early pushing Serge Ibaka from the... Read More
Immanuel Quickley (PG/SG, NYK): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Knicks defeated Washington last Friday and that meant they leapfrogged the Wiz in pursuit of the last play-in seed out of the East. That also meant that even on a short one-seed gap, the Knicks are still five games below Charlotte... Read More
