Wayne Ellington (SG/SF, DET): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: For some reason I can't quite grasp, Wayne Ellington is somehow rostered in less than 10% of all Yahoo fantasy leagues. Let me put it in another way: Wayne Ellington, a guy on a scorching hot shooting streak--with upside on assists and almost never […]

Dennis Smith Jr. (PG, DET): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: If Dennis Smith Jr. will get it right as a pro-player in the NBA, nobody truly knows. But he's at least getting another chance as part of a rebuilding Detroit Pistons franchise that traded for him a month ago and that is playing […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 11

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 […]

Josh Hart (SG/SF, NO): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: I have seen all types of opinions about Josh Hart's value in the league, both in real and fantasy terms. If I had to give my two cents on the man, I'll still recommend adding him to fantasy rosters for cheap as a […]

Kelly Olynyk (PF/C, MIA): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Bam Adebayo in town and playing every freaking game for the Miami Heat, odds are Kelly Olynyk has escaped your attention. But the truth is, Olynyk has started 30 of the 35 games he's played this season at the C spot, he's […]

Dennis Smith Jr. (PG, DET): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: If Dennis Smith Jr. will get it right as a pro-player in the NBA, nobody truly knows. But he's at least getting another chance as part of a rebuilding Detroit Pistons franchise that traded for him a month ago and that is playing […]

Joe Ingles (SG/SF, UTA): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Ingles has gone from starting more than 60 percent of the Jazz games last season to less than 30 percent this campaign. That's not really a problem for the franchise as they sit atop the NBA entering the AS break, and it […]

Saddiq Bey (SF, DET): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: Although Saddiq Bey has (expectedly) come down to earth a bit of late, everything points in the right direction for the rookie as Detroit seems to be committed to run with him ROS. Blake Griffin is nearing a buyout, the Pistons might trade […]

Bruce Brown (SG, BKN): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: Bruce Brown wasn't a big part of the Nets' plans not long ago. In fact, from the start of the season up to the end of January, Brown had just started eight of the total 18 games he had been part of, and […]

Dillon Brooks (SG/SF, MEM): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: You might not believe this if you are not too much into middle-of-the-pack teams, but the Grizzlies have put Dillon Brooks on their starting lineup in every game they've played leading up to the AS break. Brooks already started 73-of-73 games last season, which makes […]

Wayne Ellington (SG/SF, DET): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: For some reason I can't quite grasp, Wayne Ellington is somehow rostered in less than 10% of all Yahoo fantasy leagues. Let me put it in another way: Wayne Ellington, a guy on a scorching hot shooting streak--with upside on assists and almost […]

Robert Williams (C, BOS): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: Robert Williams' rostership is growing--and not slowly--by the day. Every time I check it, it's gone up a couple of percentage points, and at the time of this writing and entering the AS break he's nearing the 50% mark. How come, with RoWill […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 11

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 […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 11

It's time for the weirdest week of the season: All-Star week! Because of the All-Star Game, Week 11 is essentially two weeks, but with a big gap in the middle. That alters some things in terms of how to deal with your lineups, as teams play a pretty disparate amount of games this week. Check […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 11

We have finally made it to the All-Star break and with that looming next week, we have a two-week match up for fantasy. The two weeks leave a ton of streaming potential in lineups while also adding some additional acquisitions. There are three teams with six games over the next two weeks: the New Orleans […]

Taj Gibson (PF/C, NYK) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: When the Knicks signed Taj Gibson to his third Tom Thibodeau-led roster back in January, I thought it was out of comfort or familiarity, because it seemed highly unlikely that the now 35-year-old veteran would have a significant role to play on the […]

Tyus Jones (PG, MEM) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tyus Jones is a lot like the T.J. McConnell of the Memphis Grizzlies (or vice-versa). Sure, there are aspects of the game that they're lacking, but as to their strengths, they'll do what they do best and squeeze production out of every last […]

Derrick Jones Jr. (SG/SF, POR): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: In a team that has been ravaged by injuries, Derrick Jones has definitely found his place. Jones signed with the Blazers this past offseason, and so far so good for the former Heat. Jones has started 27 of the 28 games he's played […]

Josh Hart (SG/SF, NO): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last time I get to write about Josh Hart as a WW target. With a rostership about to hit 50% in all Yahoo leagues and the Pelicans seemingly interested in moving on from Lonzo Ball […]

Robert Williams (C, BOS): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: I am sorry, but I don't have any idea about where this Boston Celtics squad is led to. The truth is, the team has been a little bit disappointing this season, to say the least. I'm writing this while Boston sits in the […]

Saddiq Bey (SF, DET): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: When I wrote about rookie Saddiq Bey last week I thought that would most probably be the last time I was going to be able to do so, at least when it comes to highlighting WW-targets available in more than half of Yahoo […]

Patrick Williams (SF/PF, CHI): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're about to reach the midway point of the 2021 season, just mere days away from the All-Star break and the start of the second half. So far this year, rookie Patrick Williams has played 31 games for the Bulls... while starting all […]

Jae Crowder (SF/PF, PHO): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: At the end of last month, from Jan. 23 to Jan. 30, Jae Crowder had his second stint as a starter for the Suns. That only lasted four games, and it was related to injury problems in the squad more than anything, so […]

Danny Green (SG/SF, PHI): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Green got himself a ring last season playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, and not happy with staying with the current, defending chaps, opted for a more challenging way to face the 2021 season: signing with the contender Philadelphia 76ers for another […]

Isaac Okoro (SG/SF, CLE): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: If I know something about Isaac Okoro, it must be that Isaac Okoro is not your average rookie player. Okoro has started all games for the Cavs this season. That's correct. He has logged 28 starts already, is playing an average of 34 minutes […]

Bruce Brown (SG, BKN): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: When it comes to Brooklyn Nets' players outside of their Big 3, there is nothing clear or set in stone about who will and who will not perform any given day. The trio of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving will rack […]

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 10

Week 10 will likely be known as the week of back-to-backs as a total of 21 teams are playing in a back-to-back set this week. Beware of older and/or banged up players who may sit at any point this week. The Memphis Grizzlies surprisingly sat players on Saturday to rest so no team is safe. […]
