BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Thibs is one stubborn coach. That I sure know. He locked into starting Elfrid Payton at the point over Immanuel Quickley and he kept on doing even though the latter was clearly the better player. He locked into starting Reggie Bullock and kept on doing... until Thursday. For the first time this season, Bullock was sent to the second unit this week, and surprise surprise he had his second-best game of the season to the tune of a great 20-3-3-3 stuffed line that included 6 triples and just one TO.
Is Bench-Bullock going to be this type of player ROS? Difficult to know, hard to expect. But when Bullock gets it right, he's as good as any other player available in more than 95 percent of Yahoo leagues. Bullock has disappointed a bit this year, truth be told. He was averaging just an 8-3-1 line prior to March, although he's improved his per-game averages a bit of late: in the first seven games of March he's putting up a 12-3-1-1 line.
Bullock is shooting 50+ percent in his last four games though Thursday, has scored 12+ points in every one of those matches, hit 3+ triples in all of them (4, 5, 3, then 6 in his last one), grabbed 4 RPG, and logged a combined 2.75 dimes+steals per game in that span. Although he doesn't go to the line, the shooting is more often than not good, and if there is something bright in Bullock's game logs those are the triples. If you're hurting for points and treys (with some rebounding upside and no turnovers), Bullock is your man.

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 […]
