MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC Vegas 71: Pavlovich vs. Blaydes (Premium Content)

Believe it or not, it's been more than a month (Mar. 11) since the UFC held an event in Las Vegas, and nearly two full months since the last time the promo made their fighters exchange action inside the UFC Apex (Feb. 25). Sadly, we'll be visiting it on Saturday so don't expect any kind […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC Kansas City: Holloway vs. Allen (Premium Content)

The UFC is back in full force... but the promo is also coming off a numbered event for the annals of the sport taking place last weekend. Adesanya finally defeated Pereira, put on an absolute show, and left us all wanting more this upcoming weekend as Dana & The Lads will hit Kansas City for […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC 287: Pereira vs. Adesanya 2 (Premium Content)

Back to the numbered events with UFC 287, and after two weeks of suffering and waiting! After reigning supreme in UFC 281 and becoming the undisputed kingpin of the Middleweight division, Alex Pereira will face Israel Adesanya for the second time in as many meetings (in the UFC, that is) since that eventful Saturday last […]

Trendon Watford (PF, POR) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: According to Shams Charania of The Athletic (reporting on Sunday morning), the Portland Trail Blazers are leaning toward shutting down Damian Lillard for the remainder of the season. The Blazers, mind you, have been without Jerami Grant, Anfernee Simons, Lillard, and Jusuf […]

Xavier Tillman Sr. (PF, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: With just a week and a half remaining in the regular season and Memphis sitting pretty in the no. 2 seed in the Western Conference, it's hard to envision Steven Adams returning before the playoffs and risking any sort of setback in […]

Deni Avdija (SF, WAS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: The surge of Deni Avdija in all fantasy leaderboards has a very easy-to-grasp reason and that's Kyle Kuzma missing time with an injury. Ruled out Sunday, that made it four consecutive outings missed by the Kuz, which has clearly opened the door […]

Nick Richards (C, CHA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie Mark Williams returned to the Charlotte Hornets' rotation on Friday and logged 21 minutes coming off the pine. Nick Richards started at center for the seventh consecutive time, but keep in mind Williams had done so for 12 straight games before […]

Cory Joseph (PG, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: For someone that has been around forever, Cory Joseph is still "only" 31 years old. Earlier this season, even as recently as last month, you would have thought this man was playing at age-37 if not more. If you've only been watching […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds For Week 23: Trendon Watford, Xavier Tillman Sr., Nick Richards

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 […]

Kevon Looney (C, GSW) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Warriors will (probably) make the playoffs and everybody will be happy and relieved and breathe easy. One of the reasons for that to happen will be, undoubtedly and no matter what they tell you, the presence of big man and oft-forgotten […]

Austin Reaves (SG, LAL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: Salute Los Angeles Lakers starting forward Austin Reaves! Yessir, that's correct. Reaves has been so good (and injuries to his teammates so bad) that he's snatched a role as a starter and he's been on the starting five for the past two games […]

Jabari Smith Jr. (PF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: When it comes to rookies, trust is always going to be a problem. Will they deliver? Will they bust? Will they excel, then hit a monster wall midway through the season? When it comes to top-3 selections, though, life is much simpler. […]

Caris LeVert (SG, CLE) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS: Even though Caris LeVert has slowly but surely gone down of late, the rostership has been getting up and up through the week to the extent of increasing nearly 10 full percentage points in the last seven days. The last time we […]

Kenyon Martin Jr. (SF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: Not a lot has changed on Kenyon Martin Jr.'s front. It's been the same all year long, in fact. The forward keeps getting more and more games, keeps starting games, keeps developing while stuck in a very putrid context/team gunning for that […]

Tyus Jones (PG, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Ja Morant finally returned to the Grizzlies rotation earlier this week, but he did so playing off the pine and the most probable outcome from this point through the end of the regular season is that, even if he retakes the starting […]

Andrew Nembhard (SG, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: It was very obvious that rookie guard Andrew Nembhard would eventually hit the wall. It seems to be happening this week, with the Pacers' freshman sandwiching a 44-FP between a couple of rather bad outings that yield just 12 and 17 FP […]

Jaden Hardy (SG, DAL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a wild couple of weeks for Jaden Hardy and the Dallas Mavericks as a whole. The TX squad is looking at the playoffs from the outside looking as through games played on Friday they are in possession of the no. […]

Shaedon Sharpe (SF, POR) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is more than probable that Portland ends outside of the playoffs this season, and that means they will have no excuse for the remainder of the regular season to avoid playing the youngsters as much as possible, Shaedon Sharpe among them. […]

Kyle Anderson (PF, MIN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 23

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is ridiculous but last Wednesday Kyle Anderson failed to score 10+ points in a single game for the first time since Mar. 7th. Yes, that was nearly three weeks ago. That is, also, because of Karl-Anthony Towns' return to the lineup […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC on ESPN: Vera vs. Sandhagen (Premium Content)

The UFC returns to American soil to stage an event at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, TX, after visiting the United Kingdom last weekend in what amounted to the third meeting between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards. Not bad, but also bad because we're back to the drawing board and the lowly events without many flashes […]

Joe Ingles (SF, MIL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: It was all good news when Joe Ingles returned to a basketball court as early as last December after a long time recovering from injury. That was definitely way ahead of schedule, and Milwaukee has reaped the rewards of having the Aussie […]

Andrew Nembhard (SG, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: The less heralded of Indy's two rookies (the other one being Bennedict Mathurin) keeps starting games and getting better by the day. That'd be Andrew Nembhard for those of you not in the known, although you should be more than aware of […]

Cory Joseph (SG, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: Veteran guard Cory Joseph has experienced two very different seasons this year in Detroit. From the start of the campaign through the end of February, he played a total of 694 minutes (16 MPG) spread over 43 games (and more than 23 […]

Jae'Sean Tate (SF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Houston Rockets could only enjoy Jae'Sean Tate for three games at the start of the season (October) before he got to the shelves for the next two-plus months, not making his return until January 5. The young forward has slowly but […]

Xavier Tillman Sr. (PF, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Grizzlies will welcome Ja Morant back this week but that won't be the case for Steven Adams, who might actually miss the remainder of the regular season. Luckily enough for Memphis and even more for fantasy GMs out there hurting for […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds For Week 22: Joe Ingles, Xavier Tillman Sr., Cory Joseph

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 […]

Caris LeVert (SG, CLE) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: What a couple of weeks for Caris! Caris LeVert, that is, who has appeared in seven games in the last 14 days through Friday, has started two of those matchups, and has averaged a very solid 33 FPPG. In fact, barring a […]

Talen Horton-Tucker (SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: At this point, it is fair to assume Talen Horton-Tucker is the new-but-established point guard of the Utah Jazz, right? It’s now been 10 games in a row for THT starting at the point (all of the matches Utah has played after […]

Malik Monk (SG, SAC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Malik Monk only played 12 minutes back on Mar. 6 against the Pelicans. That’s bad (although he still, somehow, finished that game with 11 points, a dime, and a rebound). Monk has played six more games after that and through Saturday for the […]

Tyus Jones (PG, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 22

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Memphis Grizzlies can welcome back Ja Morant on Monday, although they are (nearly) ruled him out for that game as it’s the first day he’ll be back with the team after missing ample time, targeting instead a midweek comeback. Obviously, the […]
