BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues
ANALYSIS: I don't even know how I landed on P.J. Tucker, but here we are now I guess... Tuck Tuck is most definitively a winning asset to have around in an NBA squad. Now, in a fantasy team? That's more of a question mark. That said, though, Tucker has done more than enough of late to give him a serious thought in deeper formats. He's just not going to stop starting games for the Heat, he's been scoring more than at any other point in this the 2022 calendar year, and he's also providing tons of rebounds and steals. Yessir!
Check this out: five games from Jan. 26 through last Friday, 69 total points, and an average of 14 per. That's what we dig, folks. The triples are up at 2.4 3PM per game in that span, the rebounds are sitting at 4.2 a night (four straight games grabbing exactly 5 of them without mistake) and the dimes/steals are at 1.8 and 1.6 respectively. There was a concerning slump in mid-to-late January, mind you, when Tucker could only put up an average 4-4-2-1 even playing 25 MPG, but good for us that's basically on the rearview mirror.
Thing is, Tucker is shooting 57% from the field in the past couple of weeks having at least one triple in each of the six games played in that span topping at 4 against the Knicks back on Jan. 26. High turnovers for those in 9-cat leagues. Even then, though, the points are sublime and Tucker always finds his way to packing the statline all across the board in each and every cat other than swats. Never loved Tucker as a fantasy asset, but given the latest developments, it's more than reasonable to hand him a roster slot and consider starting him in deeper formats.

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: 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.
