Devin Vassell (SG/SF, SAS): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
Ayo Dosunmu (PG, CHI): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Ayo! How about this rook!? Ayo Dosunmu already had the best name in the game, but he's also now in possession of a solid role in the L too. Ain't nothing wrong with this man, all things considered. Truth the told, the...

Amir Coffey (SF, LAC): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you were surprised to find Amir Coffey featured in last week's WW posts, I might have understood that reaction. This week, though, no chance. Coffey has started the last 12 Clippers games through Friday logging an average of 32 MPG on that dozen... Read More
Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, DET): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: After coming off the pine for the first month-and-change of the season, Hamidou Diallo found a place in Detroit's starting lineup and has yet to surrender it. It's been 23 starts and going from Dec. 12 on and that doesn't feel like... Read More
Bismack Biyombo (C, PHO): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: Raise your hand if you expected Bismack Biyombo to get back like he's done in any capacity. Now if you raised it, put it down because I don't believe you just one bit. Signing Biyombo has been a true winning move by... Read More
Caleb Martin (SG/SF, MIA): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Can't lie about Caleb Martin's situation in Miami after Jimmy Butler came back a couple of weeks ago. Martin was sent to the pine the minute Jimmer was back, yes, and that lowered his appeal and his upside a bit, yes, but... Read More
Kevon Looney (PF/C, GSW): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Unless the Warriors defy the odds and trade for a big man (won't happen), Kevon Looney is going to stay put at the starting C spot while/at least until James Wiseman is fully recovered and available for GSW (which he might still... Read More
Patty Mills (PG, BKN): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: If Patty Mills is not the best signing from last summer's free agency, I don't even know. Of course, you're going to come up with your Lowrys and your DeRozans, but those guys were always going to thrive no matter what/where they... Read More
Otto Porter Jr. (SF/PF, GSW): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not sure most fantasy GMs out there thought about Free-Agent Otto Porter Jr. becoming 2022 Otto Porter Jr. In other words, OPJ is besting all projections, has become a bona fide rotation player for the Warriors, and even with Klay Thompson...

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 15: Torrey Craig, Rodney McGruder, Day'Ron Sharpe, Caleb Martin
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
Jose Alvarado: Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups-Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: Even after earning All-ACC (2x) and 2020-21 ACC DPOY honors for an inspired Georgia Tech squad last year, undersized PG Jose Alvarado still went undrafted in 2021. Now with the Birmingham Squadron and New Orleans Pelicans on a two-way deal, the Brooklyn... Read More
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups-Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: It only took Jeremiah Robinson-Earl two seasons at Villanova to establish himself as a sought-after talent and competitor, and after landing in Oklahoma City as a rookie, the 2021 second-rounder (32nd overall) has seen plenty of on-court opportunity to make an early... Read More
Quentin Grimes: Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups-Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Knicks have captivated basketball fans over the past couple of years with a unique blend of seasoned-experience and untapped youth on the roster, and through necessity, 2021 first-rounder (25th overall) Quentin Grimes has impressively capitalized on his floor-time opportunity. The 2020-21... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15 - Ayo Dosunmu, Terence Davis, Goga Bitadze, Jonathan Kuminga
Welcome back to the waiver wire! Need to bolster your flailing team? We've got you covered. Maybe. We'll see. These recommendations are mainly for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that the information here can still help you. We'll be looking at centers, forwards, and guards whose low rostership... Read More
Justin Holiday (SG/SF, IND): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: Justin Holiday has been a staple of Indiana's starting lineups all season long and that is not going to change any time soon unless he gets moved or Indy lands another wing before the deadline that moves Holiday to the bench. Holiday... Read More
Amir Coffey (SF, LAC): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: We've reached a point of no return when it comes to accepting Amir Coffey and his role in the Clippers. Coffey is here to stay, full stop. Paul George is out and could miss the whole season. Kawhi Leonard recently brought news of... Read More
Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, DET): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: See, the Pistons might be going nowhere any time soon barring landing Ben Simmons on that "leaked" offer that would send Bey/Grant/Olynyk the other way. That doesn't mean they don't have a clear plan when it comes to the near-future: stay on... Read More
Brandon Clarke (SF/PF, MEM): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Clarke is playing fewer minutes per game than in the prior two seasons he spent in the NBA. Brandon Clarke is also part of a team that is winning more than it ever did since Clarke arrived in Memphis as a... Read More
Coby White (PG/SG, CHI): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 58% of leagues ANALYSIS: Coby White missed a few games at the start of December but he's been back and active from Dec. 19 on. He went from starting to close the 2021 calendar year to flipping the calendar page from the pine, but it's now... Read More
Kevon Looney (PF/C, GSW): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: We are still waiting and hoping for James Wiseman's comeback this season, but are we sure it is happening? Hmm... By the time Wiseman should have been close to getting back to the court (late December/mid-January) we got informed he would be... Read More
Chris Duarte (SG/SF, IND): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: I was the first one to tell you about Chris Duarte all the way back to the start of the season. The rostership was measly back then, so Duarte was a must-add in pretty much all leagues at the start of his... Read More
Nicolas Batum (SF/PF, LAC): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: To be honest, you can make a similar case for adding pretty much every Clipper out there in your WW. Paul George is banged up and out--potentially for the full season--while Kawhi Leonard is just not coming back unless LAC knows PG13... Read More
Patty Mills (PG/SG, BKN): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kyrie Irving is back. So that means Patty Mills' upside is now cut in half, right? Wrong! Well, maybe that "in half" is more of a joke than reality because of Irving's availability only on games played on the road and not in... Read More
Ayo Dosunmu (PG, CHI): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're just hours removed from the very awful news that Lonzo Ball's missing the next four-to-six weeks with a left meniscus injury... only to witness Grayson Allen grabbing and launching Alex Caruso to the ground with a very reckless defensive move on...

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14 - Amir Coffey, Trey Lyles, Kevon Looney, Marvin Bagley III, Dennis Smith Jr.
Welcome back to the waiver wire! Need to bolster your flailing team? We've got you covered. Maybe. We'll see. These recommendations are mainly for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that the information here can still help you.

Brandon Clarke (SF/PF, MEM): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: First start for Brandon Clark, first loss of the season for Memphis on Friday. But no, don't give that much if any importance, folks. Steven Adams came back to the rotation but that didn't take the start from Clarke's hands as Adams was eased... Read More
Kyle Anderson (SF/PF, MEM): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 58% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is an ongoing line of thought about Memphis and what they should do with their über-deep roster. Boiling it down to a simple thing, it says that the Grizzlies would be better off moving most of that depth--which is not going... Read More
Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, DET): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: It has taken Hamidou Diallo a bunch of years to getting playable in both the real and the fantasy game, but he's surely gotten there in the past few weeks of play, folks. Diallo, a four-year pro and former Slam Dunk Champ... Read More
Terrence Ross (SG/SF, ORL): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think I'm alone in thinking that Terrence Ross might be one if not the best potential veteran moved ahead of the trade deadline. The thing with Ross is that he's been in Orlando for so long (this is his sixth... Read More
