P.J. Tucker (SG/SF, PHO) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues

OWNED IN: 42% of Yahoo! Leagues

ANALYSIS: P.J. Tucker re-invented himself with the Phoenix Suns in 2012 at age 27, and has been a solid defensive specialist and bench scorer over the last four years. The Suns have been absolutely decimated by injuries this year, including losing forward T.J. Warren for the year with a broken foot earlier this week. As a result, Tucker's minutes have skyrocketed. Over the last seven games, he has averaged 36.2 minutes, 10.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Those numbers should go up as he continues to see consistent playing time. With Archie Goodwin and Devin Booker holding down the two guard spots, Tucker will only really battle with Mirza Teletovic for court action. Teletovic, however, has just 17.9 minutes with 7.9 points per game over his last eight games. Tucker's name has been brought up in trade conversations, but as long as he remains in Phoenix, the minutes will be there and the production will follow. He has a low-ceiling, but with the run he is getting, he is worth an add in most leagues with 12 or more teams.
