BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Mavs are sitting in the fifth seed out West as I'm writing this and through Friday games. It's going to be hard to see them fall below the sixth-place and into the play-in, but they will also have it hard to jump the Jazz if we assume there won't be weird developments. One of the reasons Dallas righted its early wrongs has been Dorian Finney-Smith's improvement through the past month of play after going through a worrying slump in January.
Using DK's scoring system, DFS only topped 21 fantasy points in a single game three times in January for a month-average of just 21.3 FPPG. That figure has gone up a bit to nearly 24 FPPG in the past month, which is a good thing and paints a brighter picture for his fantasy GMs going forward. DFS has played four games after the break averaging a nice 14-6-2 per-game line while shooting 63%+ from the floor in those four matches.
Getting back a bit further, it's been six games in a row for DFS shooting above 55% on 8 FGA a pop. The volume and the usage are ridiculously low being part of a starting lineup in which a certain Luka--just to name one player--is definitely a better offensive weapon. DFS does what he's asked for nightly, though, and has averaged 3 3PM per game in the past six matches while keeping possession of the rock (0.6 TOPG) and contributing nice rebounding (5.5 RPG) and dimes (two in each of the past three games) while at it.

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 […]
