NBA Waiver Wire Bigs (PF, C, PF/C) for Week 16

Need a tall player for your team? If you've been searching for bigs this season the waiver wire has been slim pickings. If you don't act on time, you could miss out on the little talent that is to be found there. But fear not! You're not alone. In the previous weeks we have been featuring a […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: Jrue Holiday and Trevor Ariza?

If you're a good fantasy NBA owner, you should always be trying to improve your team. That means being on the lookout for price drops of good players playing poorly and taking advantage of your players performing above their respective value. Pulling the trigger on a deal at just the right time can make your […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% Yahoo!

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Ivica Zubac didn't have much space in the Lakers’ rotation in the beginning of the season, playing in just seven of their first 42 games. But he has now appeared in eight straight games, and has turned a few heads doing it. In […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Wings (SG/SF, SF, SF/PF) for Week 15

As R. Kelly says, I believe you can fly! Your fantasy NBA team that is. But to fly, you've got to spread your wings. Yeah, I changed it up so much it defeats the purpose of quoting the great artist. Anyway, if you're unsatisfied with your current set of aforementioned wings, you might want to […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (Week 14)

There have been a lot of injuries around the NBA lately. And while no true fan welcomes them, fantasy owners have an openning to pick up a player from the waivers who will step in a larger role if his fellow teammate went down. Keeping track of those situations and pouncing on such an opportunity can […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: DeAndre Jordan and Kristaps Porzingis?

There are a few ways to win your fantasy basketball league. One is pure luck. That's not why we're here, and that's not why most of us play fantasy basketball. Another one is a good strategy on draft day. That is something I applaud. But here you need to remain injury free or to surf […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (Week 13)

The injury plague has hit the NBA. A lot of star players are hurt for a shorter or longer period of time. And as much as it hurts them and their teams, and as much as us fans hate when that happens and feel for the players, it still opens up room for some bench […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: Nikola Jokic and Zach LaVine?

In addition to strategy on draft day, good eye for hidden talent and a little bit of luck a good basketball owner uses trends, slumps and surges to try and maximize his roster's potential. Offering a surging player with lower fantasy value for a slumping one with a higher ceiling at just the right time […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Doug McDermott is just a rotational player coming off the bench in Chicago, but has played fewer than 20 minutes in only three games so far this season.

NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (Week 12)

Finding decent help from the waiver wire gets harder and harder the deeper an owner's league is. A player underperforming can overstay his welcome on a fantasy team just based on the lack of visible talent available in the free agent pool. We dig deeper. We'll take a look at some players performing better than […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: Marcus Smart and Evan Fournier?

As Snoop says, there will be, ups and downs, smiles and frowns as your players perform above expectations or slump their asses off. It's important to know when to hold on to your player and not sell at a discount and on the other hand when a player won't be able to keep his streak […]

Tim Hardaway Jr (SG/SF, ATL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: The Hawks are rebuilding, and the loss of Kyle Korver should open up more opportunities for Tim Hardaway Jr. to become fantasy relevant— even though Mike Dunleavy plays a similar role to that of Korver, he likely won’t play as many minutes. […]

Bojan Bogdanovic (SG/SF, BKN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Bojan Bogdanovic is a gifted shooter who plays both the SG and SF positions.

Mike Muscala (PF/C, ATL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: The Hawks traded Jeff Teague this summer and have just completed a trade sending Kyle Korver to Cleveland, so it seems Atlanta is in rebuild mode. Its star player, Paul Millsap, can opt out of his contract at the end of this […]

Montrezl Harrell (PF, HOU) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14- Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Montrezl Harrell started the season off as a backup frontcourt player who just cracked the rotation in Houston. However, that changed once Clint Capela suffered a small fracture in his left fibula, which was supposed to keep him out four to […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Wings (SG/SF, SF, SF/PF) for Week 12

Surfing the waiver wire in a deep league is a tricky business. Luckily, if you have a player who didn't meet your expectations it's a low-risk high-reward business.

NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Pickups (Week 11)

If you're in a deep league, there is probably at least one player on your fantasy roster you can live without. A hot pickup from the wire or just a streamer for that weeks matchup can improve you chances of victory. But the deeper the league is, less talent is available. Here are my Week […]

Buy, Sell or Hold: C.J. McCollum and Hassan Whiteside?

Fantasy trade market is full of ups and downs. A few good performances can increase a players market price beyond his true value and owners in an active league can use that to swap a player for another with a higher ceiling or who better fits their team. On the other hand, a slump can […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Wings (SG/SF, SF, SF/PF) for Week 11

First of all, Happy New Year to all you fantasy NBA nuts out there! Some extraordinary stuff is happening on our watch (thank you Russell Westbrook, James Harden and many more).
