BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Italo Disco was always my father's music genre of choice. Makes sense Danilo Gallinari is my under-the-radar player of choice, then. Gallinari, who started the year on a putrid run of performances, has finally improved his game and although he's still no more than a bench/role player in the Hawks system, his production has been rather nice of late.
Gallo has played as many as eight games in December through Friday. He's logging some healthy 26 MPG, and although his usage rate isn't remotely close to huge (18.7%) he's still commanding almost 10 FGA per game. Best of all? Gallinari is dropping double-digit pops nightly, is shooting 45.3% from the field, and he's dumping 2.3 3PM per game in that December span of games.
While Gallinari is shooting 41.5% on the year, he's also doing it (41.8%) from three-point territory and scoring on 92.3% of his free-throw attempts. Of Gallo's 7.4 FGA per game this season, 4.8 (!) of them come from beyond the arc. Only five players with 10+ games played to date are hoisting more three-pointers per game than Gallinari while playing 22 minutes per game or fewer, and just one is hitting them at a higher clip than Gallo's 41.8 percentage. The line in the past seven games can't be much better, as the Italian is doing a little bit of everything with 14 PPG, 4.5 RPG, and 1.7 APG against just 0.4 TOV a pop.

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 […]
