BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues
ANALYSIS: I can't build a big case for Milton based on his recent play. Milton was one of Philly's COVID-affected players this past week, so he missed every game the team played from Jan. 7th to Thursday's match against Miami, limiting his minutes to 27 overall in the past 7+ days. That being said, the fact that fantasy GMs didn't drop him (still rostered in a third of Yahoo leagues) makes me believe the consensus opinion is that Milton is here to stay--and you better be rostering him before it's too late.
Milton's season has been that of any other off-the-pine player... only he's been excellent in his minutes coming off the bench. So much, in fact, that he started for the 76ers last week given the multiple absences the team had to endure and in 36 MP he put up a 24-1-7 line shooting 61.5 percent from the floor on his 13 FGA.
But Milton magnum opus, though, came just this past Thursday when he went back to the second-unit. Playing 27 minutes against Miami he dropped a season-high 31 pops (3 treys), grabbed two boards, and dished out a season-high 7 dimes. Oh, and he paired that with 3 stocks while shooting 73%+ from the floor and hitting all 6 of his attempted freebies. If you need points and dimes, go after Milton. Reserve player, sure, but one in a magnificent context surrounded by great teammates and an incredible shooting prowess.

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.

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 […]
