BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The news prior to the deadline was that Danny Green was more probably than not getting moved ahead of it, namely making room for Kyle Lowry or any other wing that would become a Sixer. Even Green's very own agent reported that just a couple of hours from it. Welp. Turned out they were all wrong and Green was able to celebrate his staying in Philly against the Lakers on Thursday by putting up his best game of the season (LOL).
Danny has started every single match he's played this year, a grand total of 45 through Friday. Green is playing 29 MPG, but that mark has gone all the way up to 33 minutes in his last five games. Even on such large dosages of playing time, Green has somehow stayed efficient on the court putting up an average 17-4-1-2-1 line in that span for 32 FP per game and an above-average 0.95 FP/min.
Even if the minutes get cut down a bit--it shouldn't be the case, as Philly's lone deadline-move was for a PG in George Hill--Green should remain a great WW-target and addition for every fantasy GM's squad out there. Embiid and Simmons are always going to command the most possessions, and Tobias Harris is also there, mind you. But Green is the next-best man around and a fantastic spot-up shooter hitting 50% of his 12 FGA per game in the last five while he's scored 3+ treys in six of the last seven games he's played (2.5 3PG on the year).

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.
