BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kevin Knox was an incredibly fun player during Summer League, capturing the hearts of many with his hops and energy.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: For much of the early parts of this season, it looked like Josh Jackson was going to follow up an inconsistent and ultimately disappointing rookie campaign with an even more inconsistent and disappointing second year.

The title says it all. As the trade deadline nears, more and more players will find new homes, but the biggest two names to move are Alec Burks and Kyle Korver.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Through the first 124 games of his NBA career, Kevon Looney had occupied a very limited roll (understandably so) for the star-studded Golden State Warriors, and last year he was called on for just 13.8 minutes per game. With DeMarcus Cousins having been... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: The 8-19 New York Knicks may not have done a lot of winning over the past few years, but with that comes the fact that they have served as an opportunity for some unsung players to make a name for themselves on the... Read More

Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Now in his third season as a Denver Nugget, Mason Plumlee has seen his role in the front court reduced to the lowest level of his career.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: As the 9-13 Miami Heat fight to grab the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, Dwyane Wade is dropping jaws across the league as he takes his victory-lap season.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: MCBUCKETS.

Half season in Oklahoma City.... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% In All-Leagues ANALYSIS: Deandre Bembry is an athletic, defensive stalwart who has shown significant improvement on the offensive end in year three of his development.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you drafted Bam Adebayo in your fantasy league, there's a chance you did so under the assumption that Adebayo would supplant Hassan Whiteside at some early point in the year since it seems like we've been hearing whispers about how much Whiteside...

Now that we are in week six, the big problem for most players is the lack of bigs available on the wire. In most of my leagues, the wire is dry of new centers to see coming, meaning you might have to look for a player like Taj Gibson or Mike Muscala to fill any... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: JaMychal Green broke his jaw, and he missed time, and Jaren Jackson Jr. took his spot in the Grizzlies starting unit.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Phoenix Suns rookie Mikal Bridges was drafted by the 76ers this season and then packaged in a deal to the Suns.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: To say that there is uncertainty in the youthful ranks of the Sixers back court would be a heavy understatement.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: On a roster full of Swiss Army Knife-type players, Tyler Johnson held down a well-rounded stat line for three years now for the Miami Heat.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jeff Green's successful scoring to start the season shouldn't come as much of a surprise.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: Quinn Cook has proven that he can score in the NBA whether he gets a lot of minutes or a few minutes on the court or whether he starts or comes off the bench. One thing is for sure: if the 6-foot-2 point guard... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: One player's loss is another player's gain.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: Terrence Ross has finally arrived. In his seventh NBA season, the former first round pick is averaging career highs in points, assists, field goal percentage, and three-point field goal percentage for the Magic.
