Kenrich Williams (SF/PF, OKC): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Thunder--believe it or not--have found a gem in Aleksej Pokusevski. I know you're laughing at that, but it is the truth and you only have to read my WW-post about Poku this weekend to know more about it. Do you know what […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (PG/SG, LAL): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: I bet you won't believe what I'm about to write: KCP was the eight-overall pick from the 2013 draft. For real, folks. The Pistons picked KCP back then above the likes of CJ McCollum, Steven Adams, and a certain Giannis Antetokounmpo. Damn. The thing […]

Grayson Allen (SG/SF, MEM): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's funny how Grayson Allen drove all college basketball fans crazy back in the day due to his antics, how he kept those feelings heating once he became a pro, and how these days he's still driving Grizzlies (yes, his own team) fans […]

Cameron Johnson (SF/PF, PHO): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Suns relied heavily on Cameron Johnson for a stretch earlier this season. It happened back in mid-to-late January when Cam started nine consecutive games averaging a massive 31 MPG for Phoenix. That ended there and Johnson has been back riding the pine […]

Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: This is not about DFS, but it is actually about DFS, if you know what I mean. No daily fantasy sports, but definitely Dorian Finney-Smith, that is. DFS has started 40 games this season, which is to say DFS has started all games […]

Aleksej Pokusevski (SF, OKC): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: It was all laughs... until it was not. And if you're one of those still laughing out loud at Poku, shame on you, mate. This kid was rather bad from the tipoff of the season to Feb. 1, when he last played for […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC Vegas 23: Vettori vs. Holland (Premium Content)

After getting to watch Stipe Miocic and Francis Ngannou going against each other for the second time in their careers, with the HW belt on the line, we knew we would need to relax and drop our expectations a bit when it came to what was coming next. You don't get to experience such a war […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 15

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 […]

Dario Saric (PF/C, PHO): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: Dario Saric has been kind of an underrated player in all of his NBA tenure after arriving in the L all the way back in 2017 as a 12th-pick via the 2014 (yes, that's correct) NBA draft. This season, playing for a contending […]

D.J. Augustin (PG, HOU): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: Imagine operating a machine fully built on faulty pieces and mechanisms. That's what D.J. Augustin is doing to do in Houston. Actually, not only that but also on Houston's second unit. Ugh... Augustin came to Rocket Town when Milwaukee traded for P.J. Tucker in […]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker (SG/SF/PF, NO): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Pelicans guard/forward Nickeil Alexander-Walker is a second-year man who has played 87 games in his pro career, and started 10 of those. In fact, if we remove games played from March 20 on, he'd have started just three games of his 80 GP […]

Jae'Sean Tate (SG/SF/PF, HOU): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: The fact that Jae'sean Tate played only 22 minutes on Friday for the Rockets against the Celtics is a true oddity in his year-long game log. Saying that about a WW target is definitely going to sound insane, but here we are with […]

Kelly Olynyk (PF/C, HOU): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: When Houston force-traded Victor Oladipo away for Miami, one of the pieces they got in return was big-man Kelly Olynyk. Prior to that trade, I had been preaching the Word of Kelly in these posts for a few weeks, as Olynyk kept flying […]

Jaden McDaniels (PF, MIN): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Wolves tested the Jaden Waters all the way back on Feb. 17, and in 37 minutes McDaniels wasn't that productive, putting up a rather low 11-4-1 line with 3 blocks. Minny proceeded to send him back to the pine. Then, a month later on […]

Rudy Gay (SF/PF, SAS): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: For some reason, I still hold an image of Rudy Gay playing for the Grizzlies in the 2012 postseason in my mind. That version of Rudy Gay--the one getting to use 25% or more of that team possessions as a starter--is definitely long gone, […]

Dean Wade (PG/PF/C, CLE): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you're new, welcome to Dean Wade's world, the one where players are eligible at the PG and C position! That's Wade for you, and that already speaks of what Wade can do on a basketball court. Wade, just in case, is a […]

Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF/PF, DET): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: Three games for Hamidou Diallo as a Piston and this is the rundown so far for him donning Detroit's threads: one game for the check-in and tune-up, two to showcase his true talents. Diallo was off basketball courts from Feb. 24, when his […]

Terance Mann (SF, LAC): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rostering a second-unit Clipper might not feel like a sound decision, considering how top-heavy the team is. With Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and second-level players such as Marcus Morris Sr., Serge Ibaka, and Ivica Zubac alternating minutes between units, opportunities are limited, to […]

Cory Joseph (PG, DET): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing this post six games into Cory Joseph's tenure as a Piston. If you remember, Detroit traded for Joseph a couple of weeks ago in exchange for Delon Wright. Not a move to swing the path of either Detroit's or Sacramento's seasons, […]

Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: Chuma Okeke couldn't have a worse closure to the 2020 calendar year: an injury that left him out of basketball courts all the way up until Feb. 2. That probably hurt, but that also made Okeke come back a much stronger and better […]

Robin Lopez (C, WAS): Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Robin of the Lopez twins has been all around the place this season. He started slowly with 10 off-the-pine games for the Wiz at the start of the season, then went on to rack up starts with nine consecutive such games, and […]
