Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Before we go ahead with Chuma Okeke's post: the rookie got banged up last Wednesday facing Cleveland, and he already missed a game in yesterday's affair with Memphis. Alright, now you know what's going on with Okeke and that DNP. That being said,... Read More

Carmelo Anthony (SF/PF, POR): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: I am thankful to the Basketball Gods for giving me some bonus Melo-time when it all pointed toward an early retirement a few years ago. Yes, I'm Melo's no. 1 stan, he's my favorite player ever, so I could easily watch him play... Read More

Facundo Campazzo (PG, DEN): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: No more than a couple of weeks ago, rookie (yes) Facundo Campazzo's rostership was at around five percent in Yahoo leagues. A week ago it had risen to slightly above 10%. Entering Saturday it was already sitting at near 30%. If you are... Read More

Jeff Green (SF/PF/C, BKN): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't remember the last time we watched a fully healthy Nets squad, do you? Anyway. The good thing about that is that 1) Brooklyn seems to be not affected by it, as they have hold of the no. 1 seed in the... Read More

Oshae Brissett (SF/PF, IND): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you study Oshae Brissett's past, you will not be that surprised about his recent explosion. You will be, of course, but knowing he went undrafted and then signed and played for the Raptors' G League team, then that'd probably soften the impact. The Raptors... Read More

Khem Birch (PF/C, TOR): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Orlando Magic definitely did Khem Birch a solid back in early April when they decided to cut him from their roster. Orlando didn't have room for the big man, so they chose to make him a free agent and in turn allowed... Read More

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 18

The deeper a fantasy 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 help... Read More

Cole Anthony (PG, ORL): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: Cole Anthony started the year with a streak of fluky--at best--performances for the Magic and that was aggravated even more by an excellent Markelle Fultz. That changed when the latter went down injured, making way for Anthony to start for Orlando from Jan.... Read More

Naz Reid (C, MIN): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Barring an 11-game span all the way back in mid-January that lasted until the early days of February, the truth is that Naz Reid has been a barely-used player in Minny. He started 10 of those 11 games, and three more prior to... Read More

Kendrick Nunn (PG/SG, MIA): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you remember what happened last season, which I'd understand you don't because it's a weird world we lived in, the Heat opted to run Nunn as their starting point guard leading up to the postseason while keeping Goran Dragic on the bench... Read More

Danny Green (SG/SF, PHI): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: Let's forget that putrid Thursday game against Milwaukee. Okay. Now, let's start writing about Danny Green. Green has been the starting forward of the (check numbers) no. 1 team in the East all year long. That's not bad for a start. Green is... Read More

Saddiq Bey (SF/PF, DET): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: Shout-out to Saddiq Bey because he's flexed on the odds and truly defeated them. Back in January, Bey had started all of five games by the end of the month and accrued 342 total minutes of playing time in 18 games (19 MPG, that... Read More

Marcus Morris Sr. (PF/C, LAC): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Let's all take a moment of silence for the resting Marcus Morris... Okay, that's it. The Clippers rested Morris yesterday in facing the Rockets, and it is not that they truly missed him as they ended getting another W into their bag and... Read More

Bruce Brown (SG, BKN): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: What is Bruce Brown, really? If you go by Yahoo's position designations, you'll find yourself a forward/center masquerading as a SG. That is not optimal in that it gives no flexibility to Brown's GMs when it comes to putting him in this or... Read More

Reggie Bullock (SG/SF, NY): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'd add Bullock to all of my teams if only to tell him to let Julius Randle know I'm very pleased with the latter's performance of late. Oh, boy, is Randle thriving... Anyway. That's the story making headlines around New York these days,... Read More

Drew Eubanks (PF/C, SA): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tale of two seasons that of Drew Eubanks. From the tip-off of the year to Apr. 11, Eubanks played 33 games averaging a below-average 0.87 FP/min. From Apr. 12 on, though, Eubanks' per-minute fantasy-point mark is sitting at a beautiful 1.35 FP/min, which... Read More

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (PG/SG, LAL): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Lakers have just welcomed Anthony Davis back to the lineup, and not only that, but they already put him in the starting five this past Thursday against the Mavs when he manned the PF position from the get-go. That, good for us... Read More

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 17

The deeper a fantasy 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 help... Read More

Isaiah Stewart (PF/C, DET): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: While fellow Piston and rookie Saddiq Bey has been the most coveted and talked-about player among Detroit's freshmen, the truth is that Isaiah Stewart has been as close to Bey as it is humanly possible. And Stewart keeps getting better by the day.... Read More

Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: While it is obvious that Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzings are the Mavs honchos, Dorian Finney-Smith has been doing the dirty work all season long (he's started every game) and that shouldn't change going forward. Even better Is the fact that DFS has improved... Read More

Reggie Bullock (SG/SF, NYK): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: Head coach Tom Thibs is one stubborn man. That's why he's kept on playing Reggie Bullock all year long (same with Elfrid Payton at the starting PG spot) instead of looking at alternatives. Bullock has started all but one game this season for... Read More

Malachi Flynn (PG, TOR): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: Quite the story that of Malachi Flynn. Drafted at the end of the first round this past November (29th overall) by Toronto, Flynn played only a total of 250 minutes for the Raps in 23 games from Dec. 23 to Mar. 31 never... Read More

Saddiq Bey (SF, DET): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

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... Read More

Marcus Morris Sr. (PF/C, LAC): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Marcus Morris Sr. has gone through two separate stints this season: bench-guy through the break, and starter after the AS event. That being said, nothing has changed for Morris through the full season, as he's kept up his 20% usage rate no matter... Read More

Ivica Zubac (C, LAC): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: Check this out: Ivica Zubac starts from Dec. 22 to Mar. 14? One. Zubac starts from Mar. 15 on? All of them 18 games. The minutes have gone from below-20 per game to a monster 29 MPG in the last month and those 18... Read More

Grayson Allen (SG/SF, MEM): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: When it comes to fantasy players, you have three types of them: those putting up ridiculously efficient per-minute numbers on low playing time, those putting up high counting stats thanks to large playing time, and those combining both things. The first group is... Read More

Furkan Korkmaz (SG/SF, PHI): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: Barring a small three-game stretch following the AS break, Furkan Korkmaz has been a below-average performer all year long. He was not playing enough minutes prior to the break (just 18 MPG in 25 games, starting three of them), and he was averaging... Read More
