BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Had you asked me back in December who will be making it to the All-Rookie team come season's end, Saddiq Bey would most probably have been absolutely overlooked. I mean, don't blame me. The Nets drafted him with the 19th pick and insta-trade him to Detroit in exchange for (mostly) Landry Shamet in a three-team deal. Then, the Villanova product hit the league running and became one of the more pleasing surprises of this weird season.
Saddiq Bey is not a joke, folks. He's here to stay, and his rookie season is more than enough proof of that. Bey only started seven games here and there for the Pistons in the first two months of the season, but starting on Feb. 14 and up to this day he has yet to come off the bench in any single match he's played. It's been 30 starts in a row, and that won't stop now. As it's happening with other large-minute rookies out there (looking at you, Isaac Okoro) the efficiency and per-minute numbers are bad (0.80 FP/min) but the counting stats can't get much better, even more considering Bey's low 18% usage rate as part of the Pistons starting unit.
Bey is averaging 13+ PPG since Feb. 14 and an even better 15 PGG this month (even though his minutes have actually gone down from 31 to 29 MPG). Bey was an atrocious shooter to kick off his career, but he's now shooting almost 45 percent from the floor, hitting triples nightly (he has played 54 games missing on scoring at least one triple in just 7 of them, only once since Jan. 30), and averaging a ridiculous 3.5 3PG in the last 10 days. Bey is also shooting 85% from the charity stripe, is getting 4 RPG, and getting almost 1 SPG per game. Get some shares before it's too late.

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.
