BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues
ANALYSIS: I don't remember the last time we watched a fully healthy Nets squad, do you? Anyway. The good thing about that is that 1) Brooklyn seems to be not affected by it, as they have hold of the no. 1 seed in the East, and 2) role-players such as Jeff Green are heavily used by the Nets nightly making for steady performers available for us fantasy GMs on cheap deals. Nothing to hate here, folks, with Jeff Green as a staple of Brooklyn's starting lineups these days and playing bonkers minutes on a daily basis.
Jeff Green started the year with the Nets, contrary to the likes of Blake Griffin and now-retired LaMarcus Aldridge. He's played in 59 games this season and started 35 of them. The best thing is that 19 of those starts have come after the AS break, a span in which Green has 26 total GP. Even more encouraging for fantasy managers adding Green ROS is the fact that he's played a very healthy 34 MPG in his last six games from Apr. 20 on, only dropping below 30 minutes once.
Irving/Durant/Harden available or not, the Nets are definitely not going to risk even the smallest of things leading up to the playoffs, which means Green will keep racking up minutes and putting up numbers if only because of brute force. Green has dropped 8+ points in each of the last six games averaging a much better 14.6 PPG in that span. He's pairing those scoring numbers with averages of 5+ RPG, 3+ APG, and 1.8 stocks per game. Green has avoided turning the ball over in four straight, making him a good value in 9-cat leagues on top of everything. Not a bad WW target, even more considering his multi-position eligibility in Yahoo leagues.

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.
