BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues
ANALYSIS: When I wrote about rookie Saddiq Bey last week I thought that would most probably be the last time I was going to be able to do so, at least when it comes to highlighting WW-targets available in more than half of Yahoo leagues. Turns out, fantasy GMs are a little bit slow these days. Bey is still rostered in fewer than 50% of Yahoo leagues, which makes no sense at all if you ask me.
Since he grabbed the starting position for the Pistons, Bey hasn't known a way to stop thriving. It's been six starts in a row for the rook going back to Feb. 14, and even in the game before that one, he already logged 27 minutes of playing time. In the six starts he's had in the Feb. 14-to-24 span, Bey has put up an average 13-5-2 line with 1+ SPG in 33+ MPG. Remember, Saddiq Bey is a rookie playing for the putrid Detroit Pistons.
Bey has already snatched a Player of the Week award, which is no joke either and speaks volumes of the rook's production. He's scored 10+ points in all of his last nine games, he's hitting almost 3 three-pointers per game this month, and he's been shooting the lights out at 55 percent from the floor and 38 percent from three as a starter while on a healthy 10 FGA and 7.5 3PA dose of shots. It sounds crazy, but it is still more probable than not that you can still find Bey sitting on your WW, and in that case, you know what to do.

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 […]
