BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Somebody please explain to me how in the world such a beast as Shake Milton is just part of a roster in one of every three Yahoo leagues. I don't need to make any deep study here to make you see the upside and convince you of adding Milton to your squad in this very moment: Milton is putting up an average 14-1-3-1 line in nine games for the Sixers, Philly is thriving, and Milton even started last Thursday's game against Brooklyn.
So you need more? No problem. Milton has played 20+ minutes every game this season and is actually logging almost 26 MPG in the season. On top of that, his usage rate (on both the second unit and starting) is up to 22.7% and it has yet to drop below 15.2 percent in any single game. Milton is attempting a very healthy 10.6 FGA per game, shooting 45.2 percent from the floor, and has only one performance in which he didn't score at least one triple.
Even more, you say? Alright. This is Milton in the last five games going back to Dec. 31st: 17 PPG, 2.2 RPG, 4.6 AGP and four total steals. If anything, only the 1.4 turnovers are cutting his upside just a tiny bit. Oh, and the Sixers' Seth Curry just tested positive for COVID opening the door to Milton to keep playing heavy minutes for a couple of weeks starting this weekend. Must. Add. Milton. Now.

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 […]
