BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues
ANALYSIS: I'm not sure most fantasy GMs out there thought about Free-Agent Otto Porter Jr. becoming 2022 Otto Porter Jr. In other words, OPJ is besting all projections, has become a bona fide rotation player for the Warriors, and even with Klay Thompson back and Draymond Green around (and coming back to the lineup soon) Otto has still delivered the goodies with completely efficient ways.
Porter was fantastic prior to Dray's injury, but he's now leveled up his game and raised his numbers all across the board starting at the PF position. It's been six starts at PF in the past seven games for Otto through Friday spanning two weeks of play. Porter is playing around 25 MPG in that span while posting a 10-6-2-2 per-game line in those minutes. That's far far from bad, folks, as it'd prorate to a 14-8-3-3 over 36 MPG. Not that we can complain about this guy's playing time and role these days, though.
Porter has dropped 9+ points in six of the past seven games and has hit on a triple (or more) in the past nine games he's played and he has yet to miss on hitting at least one 3PM in a game since he did so all the way back on Jan. 9. The shooting has been sublime in this starting stint with a 51.6% shooting percentage from the field. Barely a trip to the free-throw line, though, but Otto makes up for that with pinpoint accuracy that includes a bunch of three-point attempts and makes. Not many turnovers and upside on the boards and, perhaps more importantly, the scarce steals cat.

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 […]
