BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Josh Hart is far from your average small-wing, big-guard. Hart truly sits in the sweet spot between those two labels. That's why the second-unit Pelican is putting up great rebounding numbers this season (7.6 RPG) while only playing 28 MPG on the year coming off the bench more often than not (he's started just two games of the 14 he's played through Thursday).
Hart had a rough stretch of cold shooting to start the 2021 calendar year, but other than that he's been efficient on a low dose of FGA per game (6.1) hitting 48.8 percent of his shots in the first four games of the season and the last four he's played combined. The lower averages in both points and rebounds make sense as Hart's minutes have gone down a bit of late, but Hart was able to pull down 8+ boards in four of his first nine games this season, and an average of 6.2 in his next five.
Another overlooked aspect of Hart's game is his passing prowess. His assist numbers are not mindblowing (1.8 APG on the year) but he's been getting higher digits lately (2.8 APG in the last seven days) and he just doesn't turn the ball over at all (2 TO in the last five games combined). Add a sweet 1.3 3PM per-game average and you get one of only three players posting up a 7-7 with <1 TO and 1+ trey per game--along with Kristaps Porzingis and Al Harford.

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 […]
