BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues
ANALYSIS: When Chris Paul comes to town, things tend to change for the better in an offense, and that has applied strongly for Frank Kaminsky, because he has been heating up exponentially in all facets. From December to now, Kaminsky's average playing time has jumped about seven minutes per month to its February mark of 20.4 per game. Naturally, Frank's statistical volume has increased in kind, but more importantly, his categorical efficiency has as well. Through January, he was averaging 6.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 14.8 minutes per game; while also producing a 50% true shooting rate, a solid three-point percentage of 35.3% on his 17 total attempts, yet he struggled from the foul line with a 55.6% success rate.
In five February contests (when he also picked up his first three starts of 2021), Frank the Tank has hit the accelerator to the tune of 10.0 points, 6.0 boards, and 2.2 assists per game, and he has been dialed in on offense; improving his true shooting rate to 66.4%, his three-point percentage to a dead-eye 54.5%, and his free throw percentage to a tolerable 66.7%. The real key to his value for Fantasy Basketball Managers lies in his enhanced opportunism across all statistical categories, significantly boosting his utility by netting career-highs in rebound percentage (15.8%), assist percentage (19.0%), and block percentage (3.5%), as well as a career-low in turnover percentage (7.2%). With CP3 still in HOF form, the Suns offense is flowing, defensive attention is fractured, and the game is coming easier for the rotation in all departments. With Frank Kaminsky in the most effective zone of his NBA career, he makes a fantastically well-rounded option at PF/C for those in deeper leagues.

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.

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.
