BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: In the last bunch of WW pickups before the trade deadline goes past us, Mattise Thybulle might be one of the most interesting players out there not rostered in that many leagues.

Malik Monk (PG/SG, CHA): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: For someone playing about 20 minutes nightly, it is surprising that only 9% of fantasy owners out there are rostering Malik Monk.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: After three seasons and a half in the league, it is fair to say Marquese Chriss has been a bust.
