T.J. McConnell (PG/SG, IND) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: McConnell got his shot as an UDFA with Philly because they were in desperate condition, putting a roster together with a recession-like budget.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Blazers are hurting for warm bodies, and hurting bad at it.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker (SG/SF, IND): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: This is more of a mid/long-term play rather than a present-day one.

Week 6 already? It was just yesterday that I was flummoxed by the quick turnaround to the season. Time flies when you're having fun, right?

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/28/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Following a massive 12-game night Wednesday, we’re down to a much more modest four contests Thursday.

Additionally, the absence of the... Read More
DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 1/28/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Wednesday’s have carved out a niche on the NBA landscape as being chock full of action, with 12 games at our disposal this time around.
