BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Celtics are lacking big men, and that's why they signed Tristan Thompson this past offseason to bolster their rotation of in-the-paint bodies for the 2021 season. The Time Lord stayed on the roster for another year, although we all knew what his role would be this season with both TT and Daniel Theis above him in the rotation, and the likes of Grant Williams and Tacko Fall logging minutes here and there.
Even on a small playing role for the Cs (Williams is averaging just below 17 MPG), Williams is a per-minute monster in fantasy games. On such a low playing time, Williams is averaging a very nice 7-6-1 line for Boston that also features 1.3 SPG and 1.8 BPG. Obviously, that pales in comparison to any other big man in the NBA, but for those playing fewer than 20 minutes per game that's far from a bad nightly outing.
The only other player remotely close to Robert Williams's numbers is Minnesota's Jarred Vanderbilt (5-6-3), though the latter has only played two games compared to William's four entering 2021. Williams ranks 10th in REB% (20.0) among all NBA players with 15+ MPG, and is posting the 15th-highest NETRtg (19.9) in the same group.

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 […]
