BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Shouts out to the Wagner fam for putting a couple of kids in the Association--on the same squad, no least! Franz, the rook and younger of the two, has been the true stud of the two so far this season and has had an impressive start to his pro career. To the point, his current below-50% rostership is a freaking bargain and something that won't probably last for long.
Wagner, a top-10 pick in the past draft along with fellow Magic Jalen Suggs, has started all six games for Orlando this season. He's playing a more than healthy 33 MPG and his stats are high all across the board. Check this out: Wag is putting up an average 13-3-2-1 per-game line, which isn't bad at all for a freshman. The best thing about Wagner's game, though, is his steadiness.
Franz has scored 10+ points in every single game he's played through Friday. He's also dished out at least one dime in all but one match, steal a ball in five of six games too, and pulled down 4+ rebounds in four of his six outings. Can't complain at all. The turnovers are super low with one or none four out six times, and the shooting is high at 50.7% from the floor on a reasonable 10+ FGA--not to mention he's also hitting 1.8 3PM per game and has only been blanked once in six games, topping at 4 3PM against New York on Oct. 22.

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 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Nets can finally rest assured they'll make the play-in portion of the season.
