BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Three consecutive starts for Patty Mills in the past few days and four consecutive games above 30 minutes of playing time for the Australian? Gotta love that. Mills can't carry a higher value than he's doing right now playing shooting guard next to James Harden (who's manning the point). Only the start of the year saw a better similar (but still worse) version of Mills than the one we're witnessing right now.
Mills has played 32-32-35-34 minutes in the last four games Brooklyn has played through Saturday. He's scored a freakish 21+ points in three of those four and was still good for an 8-2-4-1 line against Golden State in the other one while hitting 2 treys. Those three games were delightful, and this WW target is so mostly here because of that--keep in mind that Mills' production is probably going to go down a bit, but even then the guard should be a perennial WW target and must-roster player in deeper formats.
Patty Mills has hit 4+ treys in three of the last four games, and has scored at least one long-range shot in all but two games he's played this year (17 through Saturday). Expect bouncy shooting percentages from Mills, but count on explosive 55% shooting nights with tons of treys and 10+ FGAs every few games. The turnovers are not overly high and tend to sit between none-and-one more often than not (only 2+ TOs in three of his 17 games).

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 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Nets can finally rest assured they'll make the play-in portion of the season.
