BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues
ANALYSIS: It's been 14 games for JaMychal Green as a Nugget already, which takes the surprise element from this blurb. At this point, with more than a quarter of the season in the rearview mirror, you very well know what happened in the offseason and how things are shaking out: Denver lost Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee (both playing nicely in Detroit), and got Green to the Mile High. And while that meant losing a starter and a half, the truth is that Green can't be doing much more for the Nugs.
Green's played each of his 14 games coming off the bench, and he's posted positive plus/minus marks in 10 of those (in three of the other four he finished at -3, -2, and -2). Green has also been an above-average performer on a per-minute basis in all but four games this season, putting up 1.17 FP/min since his first game back on Jan. 1st. This past week (Sat. 23 to Sat. 30) he's played three games and averaged a monster 1.48 (!) FP/min that would rank in the 90th percentile league-wide--starters included.
Green is scoring 11+ PPG, pulling down 6+ RPG, and dishing out 1+ APG this season. He has yet to finish a game without finding paydirt from three, and he's sustaining a good 48.7-percent shooting from the floor on a healthy 8.3 FGA per game. There are 36 players putting up a season-long 11-6-1 line with at least 1 3PG through Thursday, and JaMychal Green is the only one getting there in fewer than 23 minutes. His 14.3 NetRtg is by far the best in that group, with Paul George and Embiid coming next at 12.2 and 11.8.

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 […]
