Jaxson Hayes (C, NOP): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
Mason Plumlee (PF/C, CHA): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Saturday was a sad day. Facing the Mavs, Mason Plumlee couldn't crack the 15-FP barrier. That is no bueno, but you know what? We don't care about that, because it'd been quite a streak of games for him beating that threshold--in fact,... Read More
Trendon Watford (SF, POR): Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: The type of fantasy player we love, this Trendon Watford. Pre-ASB Watford: 33 games, 13 MPG, 4-3-1 line; Post-ASB Watford: 10 games, 31 MPG, 14-6-2 with a block. This thing, we dig. Trendon Watford has even gone to start the last four... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 21: Naz Reid, Max Strus, Serge Ibaka, Bones Hyland, Jordan McLaughlin
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
Josh Christopher (SG, HOU): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: I have followed Josh Christopher aka Jaygup since his HS days, and I have always loved his game and his attitude on and off the court. Kid just gets it. JC won't end up making an All-Star, nor the HoF, nor whatever,... Read More
Malik Beasley (PG/SG, MIN): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Malik Beasley has played 67 games this season. In other words, Malik Beasley has appeared in all but one game this season for the Wolves. Not only is he playing, but he's also getting his fair 25 MPG over the year. And... Read More
Jonathan Kuminga (SF/PF, GSW): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're getting closer to watching Draymond Green getting back to the court but given Golden State's current position in the standings (almost locked into the no. 3 seed) and the fact that there are only 15 games left on the schedule, would... Read More
Luke Kennard (SG, LAC): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: As much as it pains me, it looks like Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are really going to miss the full regular season and most probably the playoffs, delaying the Clips' chances at a deep postseason run one more year. The positive... Read More
Alec Burks (SG, NYK): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: As ridiculous as it sounds, HC Tom Thibodeau has turned clear-cut wing Alec Burks into a point guard. I am not saying it has worked, no sir, but Thibs is so stubborn that he's just forcing this square peg into a round... Read More
Immanuel Quickley (PG/SG, NYK): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: Are the Knicks tanking, or are the Knicks fighting for that play-in berth? Hard to tell with this wreck of a coach handling the rotation in Tom Thibodeau. If you ask me, I'd say the Knicks have found the sweet spot at... Read More
Malik Monk (SG/SF, LAL): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: I guess when you have LeBron James playing for your side you're inevitably going to fall on some lucky Ws throughout the regular season. That said, the Lakers suck and there is nothing too crazy about thinking they could still miss the... Read More
Bruce Brown (SG/SF/PF, BKN): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's fascinating how this deep into the season writing about the Los Angeles Lakers and about the Brooklyn Nets is virtually the same, and entirely because of the wrong reasons. Anyway, we're here to discuss a bona fide positive the Nets found... Read More
Mason Plumlee (PF/C, CHA): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hornets traded for Montrezl Harrell this past deadline. Although overall Harrell's minutes haven't gone down from those he was getting in Washington, they have cratered in March with three games at just 17 MP. Mason Plumlee has remained the big-boy paint-linchpin... Read More
Brandon Clarke (PF, MEM): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Another week gone, another Sunday I find myself begging you to roster this monster of a bargain. Let me put it in a different way than you'll find elsewhere, just to see if I can finally convince you: Brandon Clarke has posted... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 20: Immanuel Quickley, Donte DiVincenzo, Bones Hyland, Caleb Martin, Austin Reaves
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
Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Mavs are sitting in the fifth seed out West as I'm writing this and through Friday games. It's going to be hard to see them fall below the sixth-place and into the play-in, but they will also have it hard to... Read More
Grant Williams (SF/PF, BOS): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a shaky start to the season, the Boston Celtics surely got things right of late and are currently boasting a tasty 8-2 record in their last 10 games through Friday thanks mostly to their stiff defensive efforts. We can't say Grant... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 19: Bruce Brown, Onyeka Okongwu, Raul Neto, Corey Kispert, Grant Williams
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
Ayo Dosunmu (PG/SG, CHI): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of leagues ANALYSIS: The injury bug has bitten Chitown hella hard this season. The aftermath? Well, let's call it a no. 2 seed in the East. Not bad if you ask me. Part of that has been the unpredictable-yet-very-real campaign rookie Ayo Dosunmu is putting... Read More
Brandon Clarke (PF, MEM): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: How many more times are you going to make me write a post about Brandon Clarke, seriously? It's been a good bunch of weeks in a row now, and although fantasy GMs finally broke the 50%-threshold when it came to rostering this... Read More
Devin Vassell (SG/SF, SAS): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: Starting or coming off the bench, the truth is Devin Vassell has been a staple in the 2022 Spurs and that shouldn't be changing any time soon. It's been 52 games for the second-year man and 11th 2020 pick, who has started... Read More
Jonathan Kuminga (SF/PF, GSW): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: Considering the numbers Jonathan Kuminga put up for the Warriors through the first three months of the season (Dec. to Feb.) and his super-low minutes in his first 39 games (12 MPG), it made sense to keep the rumors up and the... Read More
Patrick Beverley (PG/SG, MIN): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: So it's now been 42 games for Patrick Beverley with 38 of them boasting Pats on the starting lineup. Can't ask for more, truth be told. Beverley is starting for a team full of top-heavy talent but not much depth, so being... Read More
Tre Mann (PG/SG, OKC): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: Would you guess who these two players are? Player A: 17 MPG, 7-2-1 per-game line, 19% USG. Player B: 29 MPG, 14-2-2-1 per-game line, 23% USG. Welp, that's the very same Tre Mann, only splitting his season in two stints before and... Read More
Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Magic, as every team around the Association, was forced to rely on Chuma Okeke for a stretch starting in mid-December putting the young man in the starting lineup for 10 of 12 games ending on Jan. 17. The shooting sucked back... Read More
Hassan Whiteside (C, UTA): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: It will be necessary to keep an eye on Hassan Whiteside's minutes and role going forward given the recent developments taking place in Salt Lake City, but as long as HW keeps getting around 20 minutes of play ROS he should be... Read More
Alec Burks (PG/SG/SF, NYK): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: Because HC Tom Thibodeau is an odd man, he's started Alec Burks at the point in 22 games already. Alec Burks, who's a career two-guard/wing and has pretty much zero experience at the point guard position. Good for us fantasy GMs, playing... Read More
Coby White (PG, CHI): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of leagues ANALYSIS: I know I'm going a little bit over the limit here with that fifty-nine rostership, but bear with me. First of all, go check your WW before even reading this post, and if Coby White is sitting there smash that ADD button... Read More
