BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Sixers are healthy once for all. All of Embiid, Tobi, Danny Green, and the very own Matisse Thybulle are back playing after bouts with COVID and whatnot. Thybs sandwiched his two-week absence with two starts prior to it and three more coming off the safety protocols, but he's now back to the second unit of the 76ers. Even then, though, Thybulle should keep contributing in his niche categories.
Thybulle is one of only seven players keeping up an average of 2+ SPG on the season. Only Thybulle and Gary Trent Jr. are also turning the ball over 1.1 times or fewer per game. Not bad for a start. Of course, you're not going to roster or play Thybulle in fantasy leagues in which you're looking for a sky-high volume of shots, points, or dimes. But when it comes to defense, Thybulle can't get much better.
Thybulle has had a rough week playing off the bench in three straight and logging only 22.5 MPG, but his numbers should stabilize (and rise) over time. Prior to that three-game span, Thybulle was stealing 2.4 SPG to go with 1.5 BPG. That's Matisse for you going forward, at least until Philly moves Ben Simmons on a deal that impacts the whole rotation given the potential and collateral damage of such transaction.

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 […]
