Brandan Wright (DAL, PF/C) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Shallow Leagues ANALYSIS: Wright has been in a bit of a funk lately, so he is getting dropped at a high rate after a hot streak brought him up to nearly 50 percent ownership. I have written about Wright before, but when bringing up field-goal percentage, there is no one else you […]

Aron Baynes (SAS, C/PF) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: The Spurs are my go-to team for efficiency, and their bench is full of usable efficient bundles of 15-20 minutes a game with occasional starts – from Marco Belinelli to Cory Joseph to Baynes. Baynes has been gaining the trust of the coaching staff over the course of the year, as his […]

Rodney Stuckey (IND, PG/SG) – Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Shallow Leagues ANALYSIS: Stuckey is one of the streakiest guys in the league, as evidenced by his scoring totals in recent games – 22, 24, 9, 9 and 16 in five games between November 26 and December 4. One thing Stuckey has always done consistently well, however, is drive to the […]

Gary Neal (CHA, PG/SG) – Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: Neal is a reserve player on a low-profile team who is currently battling an injury, so now might be your best chance to grab him.

Dante Cunningham (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Short Term Add Analysis: Cunningham is a speculative short-term pick-up, as we don’t know the severity of the knee injury suffered by Ronny Turiaf on Wednesday night.  However, if Turiaf were to miss any amount of time with Nikola Pekovic already out, Dante would become one of the last men standing in the front court for the ‘Wolves […]

Cory Joseph (Guard) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Continue Scouting Analysis: Tony Parker's 2nd fill in, Cory Joseph is the guy starting at point for the Spurs, even if the minutes aren’t so different from Patty Mills.  Joseph does enough in assists and rebounds (3.1 and 2.9 per game in February, respectively), and more than enough in steals (1.5 per game in February) […]

Patrick Beverley (Guard) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add in Deep Leagues for Steals/Threes Analysis: If you’re just looking for steals and threes, Beverly can bring it, along with a few assists, though not much else.  What he brings is similar to PJ Tucker, as far as being a useful fantasy player who is underrated because of his scoring.  Tucker has got a […]

Jodie Meeks (Guard) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add Immediately for Steals/Threes Analysis: He may have been dropped due to the sprained ankle that’s kept him out the last couple weeks, but he’s due back after the All-Star Break, and will likely reclaim a spot in the starting lineup from the uninspiring Wes Johnson.  In case you forgot how good Meeks […]

DeMarre Carroll (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add Immediately Analysis: DeMarre Carroll  – I don’t really think I need to say much about Carroll.  He’s been a top 20 fantasy player over the last month.  I’ll just file this in the “I can’t believe he’s still less than half-owned category.”  Whether it’s the great shooting (.567 since 1/13), the three pointers (2.0/game), […]

PJ Tucker (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add in Deep Leagues for Rebounds Analysis: PJ Tucker is averaging a solid 7.5 rebounds over the last month.  Pair that with percentages and turnover rates that are very reasonable and a solid trickle of about a trey and a steal per game, and you’ve got a guy who can help without hurting […]

Chris Kaman (Center) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add Immediately Analysis:  The big bald man is on fire over the last couple games, putting up back-to-back 20+/10+ games in points and rebounds, as well as blocking multiple shots and even putting up a 3 or 4 assists.  This is obviously not going to last – Chris Kaman has not suddenly turned into LaMarcus […]
