The first depth chart shakeup event of the offseason is in the books.

While most “Loser”-based draft articles can simply just... Read More

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups-Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: It only took Jeremiah Robinson-Earl two seasons at Villanova to establish himself as a sought-after talent and competitor, and after landing in Oklahoma City as a rookie, the 2021 second-rounder (32nd overall) has seen plenty of on-court opportunity to make an early...

Fantasy Basketball UDFA Rookie Sleepers
It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily... Read More

Trey Lyles (PF/C, SA): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is a chance you haven't heard about Trey Lyles this season. I wouldn't blame you, but I would also tell you that Lyles has started four out each five Spurs games so far this season. That's correct. He has played 61... Read More
Harry Giles (PF/C, SAC): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: It took what felt like ages, but it seems Harry Giles has finally arrived. After missing his rookie season due to injury, Giles debuted last year and already played 58 games without much fanfare. He's on pace to play 55 this year... Read More
Moritz Wagner (PF, LAL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not sure if you've heard, but the Los Angeles Lakers (and therefore LeBron James) are going to be absent from the 2019 NBA playoffs. As a result, the Lakers and coach Luke Walton (who is in hot water to boot) are limiting... Read More
Alex Len (PF/C, ATL) - Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: Though his 19.4 minutes per game this year for the Atlanta Hawks is his lowest volume of playing time since the 2013-2014 season with the Phoenix Suns, the 2018-2019 NBA campaign has been, in many ways, a year of substantial growth for former... Read More
Rodions Kurucs (SF/PF, BKN) - Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: This isn't the first time this season that I've recommended fantasy owners pick Rodions Kurucs up. After injuries hit the Nets and Kurucs was forced into the starting lineup, the rookie performed admirably, but he eventually hit that rookie wall and was relegated... Read More
Joakim Noah (PF/C, MEM) - Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Joakim Noah has served in a sparing role for the Memphis Grizzlies for the majority of his 34-game run with the team this season in which he has averaged 6.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 0.8 blocks in 15.6 minutes per contest.... Read More
Cheick Diallo (PF/C, NOP) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: As hard as it may be to believe as he is in the midst of his third professional basketball campaign for the New Orleans Pelicans, but 6-9 former Kansas Jayhawk Cheick Diallo is still only 22 years old. Though the native of Kayes,... Read More
Kenneth Faried (PF/C, HOU) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: Technically, Kenneth Faried is not a member of the Houston Rockets yet, as the Rockets still need to clear out a roster spot for the recently-waived former Brooklyn Nets. Looking solely at Faried's numbers, you might be surprised to see a 34 percent... Read More
Jabari Parker (SF/PF, CHI) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: It has been a difficult road over the last couple of seasons for Jabari Parker, as injury issues forced him to play in only 82 games combined from 2016 to 2018 for the Milwaukee Bucks. Not only that, but plenty of uncertainty surrounds... Read More
Alex Len (PF/C, ATL) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: After five seasons with the Phoenix Suns, Alex Len has begun his career anew as a member of the rebuilding Atlanta Hawks, and has gotten off to an excellent start despite his reduction in floor-time. Although Len ranks just eighth on the 11-27... Read More
Luke Kornet (PF/C, NYK) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Knicks have not been very good over the past few seasons, and while this means that they have been able to acquire players like Kristaps Porzingis and Kevin Knox through high draft picks, it also means that they have been... Read More
Robert Williams (PF/C, BOS) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: Unfortunately for Brad Stevens' Boston Celtics squad, Aron Baynes will be out for four to six weeks (retroactive to December 21st) due to having surgery on his hand. On the bright side, this has presented an opportunity to 6-10 rookie Robert Williams to... Read More
Greg Monroe (PF/C, TOR) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: At 28 years old and in the midst of his ninth season in the NBA, Greg Monroe has seen his role minimized to the lowest level of his career while coming off the bench for the Toronto Raptors. His 7.6 minutes per game... Read More
Kevon Looney (PF/C, GS) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Through the first 124 games of his NBA career, Kevon Looney had occupied a very limited roll (understandably so) for the star-studded Golden State Warriors, and last year he was called on for just 13.8 minutes per game. With DeMarcus Cousins having been... Read More
Mason Plumlee (PF/C, DEN) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Now in his third season as a Denver Nugget, Mason Plumlee has seen his role in the front court reduced to the lowest level of his career. In a career-low 17.0 minutes, Plumlee is averaging a rather uninspiring 6.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.0... Read More
Bam Adebayo (PF/C, MIA) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you drafted Bam Adebayo in your fantasy league, there's a chance you did so under the assumption that Adebayo would supplant Hassan Whiteside at some early point in the year since it seems like we've been hearing whispers about how much Whiteside... Read More
Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's taken a few years and a couple of roster reshuffles, but Dorian Finney-Smith has finally earned a significantly higher role on the team in the form of increased playing time and an enhanced role. The former Florida Gator averaged just 20.3 and... Read More
Jeff Green (SF/PF, WSH) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jeff Green's successful scoring to start the season shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Currently scoring 10.4 points per game, Green has failed to average double-digit scoring figures in just two of his twelve years as an NBA player. Now, did anyone... Read More
DeMarre Carroll (SF/PF, BKN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: For years DeMarre Carroll has been a reliable "three-and-D" forward with a career three-point percentage of 36.2% and an upside in rebounding to the tune of 6.4 rebounds per game over the last two years. This year however, having gotten a late start... Read More
Mike Muscala (PF/C, PHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: After the Jimmy Butler trade, the 76ers have some holes to fill, especially with the departure of Dario Saric opening up minutes at the four and Amir Johnson losing minutes and opening up time at the five as well. Enter Mike Muscala, recently... Read More
