BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues
ANALYSIS: I was watching Cleveland defeat Brooklyn in the first merry-go-round of the Nets new Big Three, and I was thinking about the vast amount of players that go through the Association and are forgotten the minute they leave the L. Enter Cedi Osman, who only Cavs-fanatics will probably remember once all is said and done in his career.
That's not a critic on Osman, though. In fact, he's been good this season playing a second-unit role that has turned into a starting gig of late. Osman has started all Cleveland's last seven games after coming off the pine in six of the first seven games he played this season. That shouldn't change going forward, because Osman is well worth a daily starting call. Osman is playing 37+ MPG going back to Jan. 4th and has averaged a 16-5-5 line since then to the Thursday game against BKN.
Osman will give you points, rebounds, dimes, the eventual steal, and plenty of long-range goodies as he's scoring 2.7 triples per game in the last nine games. After starting the season (10 first games) shooting a paltry 34.1 percent from the floor, Osman has leveled up and has shot 38.5, 46.7, 50, and 52.9 percent in his last four games (steady improvement) for an average of 47% success from the floor on a more than healthy diet of 16.2 FGA per game. This is probably the last time I will write about Osman as a WW target because his rostership will (already is doing it) sky-rocket before you can even realize.

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 […]

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 […]
