BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues
ANALYSIS: It took time, and it won't happen often with Paul Millsap squeezing his last drops of basketball in Denver, but JaMychal Green finally started a game for the Nugs this past Thursday against the Lakers. In 29 minutes, all Green did was put up a 14-8 line with 2 treys and a steal to spare. Not bad all things considered, much less taking into account this hyper-bench player is rostered in fewer than 15% of Yahoo leagues.
Green was the player chosen by Denver to fill the gap left by Plumlee/Grant departures, and he has played the part so far this season. Just in the past week-plus (four last games), Green has averaged 10.3 PPG and 7.5 RPG while adding a dime and a steal nightly to his lines. This man is hitting triples easily and has scored at least one of them in every game he's played this year. In fact, Green has scored 2+ long-range shots in 14 of his 18 total games.
One of Green's most appealing underlying stats is his high true shooting percentage. Sitting at 62.5 TS% on the season and an even higher 69.7% in the last six games, Green is not needing a ton of shots to apply damage on opponents and hand goodies to his fantasy GMs. Going back to Jan. 19, Green has also averaged 1.09 FP/min, which is almost 0.2 points above the average NBA player this season and on par with the likes of Myles Turner, Jerami Grant, Pascal Siakam, or Deandre Ayton to name a few.

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.
