BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Saturday was a sad day. Facing the Mavs, Mason Plumlee couldn't crack the 15-FP barrier. That is no bueno, but you know what? We don't care about that, because it'd been quite a streak of games for him beating that threshold--in fact, the last Plumlee standing in the League had done so in all games after the ASB. What's to hate?
Plumlee has started all 62 games he's played this season, and that comes paired with a nice 25 MPG average over the year that hasn't been impacted that much by the addition of Montrezl Harrell back on deadline day (23 MPG after the break for MP). Plumlee is most definitely a monster rebounder (8 RPG, pro-rated to 11.5 per 36) with some blocking prowess. No, he's not a lock to swat three or four shots a game as he's done twice in the last five games he's played, but he should be good enough to give you at least one a pop.
The Hornets are still fighting to make the play-in and although they've virtually got the berth already, things won't probably change that much in terms of roles and rotations ROS. So you can count on MP to keep his playing time up and his ridiculous per-minute efficiency right where it currently is at: 1.10 PF/min in March (league average at 0.90, for context). Rebounds, steals, blocks, and FG% are all in Plumlee's calling card.

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 […]
