Josh Richardson (SG, NOP) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Pelicans went fishing before the trade deadline and they chose San Antonio's Tanking Pond, landing veteran guard Josh Richardson. Richardson had started three games for the Spurs before getting moved and he already has three starts as a member of the... Read More

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 19: Malaki Branham, Mark Williams, Josh Richardson

The deeper a fantasy basketball 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... Read More

Fantasy Basketball: Free Agents to Target For Stretch Run

Hey RotoBallers, my name is Josh Wiesel and I'm excited to be a new contributor to the website. I've always been a big NBA and DFS/Fantasy fan, so I figured it was time to put pen to paper writing about it. What you can expect from me is a quality analysis of players that will... Read More

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 19: Daniel Gafford, Kyle Anderson, Terance Mann

The deeper a fantasy basketball 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... Read More

Josh Green (SF, DAL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Mavericks moved a lot of valuable assets to land Kyrie Irving and give Luka Doncic a helping backcourt teammate once and for all. That trade opened the way for Josh Green to start games on a nightly basis, something he's done... Read More

Talen Horton-Tucker (SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Jazz finally decided to sell the house, or at least some of it, before the deadline and into the home stretch of the season. Too bad (good?) for them, their starting shooting guard went down injured in their last game before... Read More

Shaedon Sharpe (PF, POR) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: You knew Shaedon Sharpe is serious about his NBA career the minute he got snubbed from the Rising Stars event at the All-Star Weekend. The consequence: he informed the league he was dropping out of the Dunk Contest. LOL. It's the package... Read More

Malaki Branham (SG, SAS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Spurs are going nowhere. Well, they are obviously headed toward Wamby Station, but that's going nowhere in the current NBA season. In other words: San Antonio has all reasons and then some to play as many kids as they can, for... Read More

Matisse Thybulle (SF, POR) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Blazers made some moves ahead of the trade deadline but none of them were quite earth-shattering if you ask me. That said, all of the trades they pulled off seem to be so fine-tuned and pointed toward a very particular, known,... Read More

Terance Mann (SG, LAC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Clippers have entered uncharted territory and moved to a full no-point-guard rotation with no natural no. 1 in their roster. Yes, you can consider recently acquired Bones Hyland a point, or Terance Mann one himself, but there is no... Read More

Cam Thomas (SF, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: After the Nets decided it was time to move on from Kyrie Irving, Cam Thomas was shown the bright light of the Brooklynite day, started three consecutive games, and bagged 47, 43, and 20 points in those after dumping 44 in the... Read More

Killian Hayes (PG, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: The French Gawd finally arrived in Motown. Most folks were already completely out of the Killian Hayes Believers mob, but he just came out of the blue to prove them all wrong. Ah, how good it feels to pick an island to... Read More

Kyle Anderson (SF, MIN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Love him or hate him, Kyle Anderson has seemingly found his game in Minny this season. Circumstances (read: injuries to teammates) have genuinely helped him experience that breakout, of course, but that doesn't take from what he's been able to do through... Read More

Daniel Gafford (C, WAS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 19

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a tale of two very different seasons for Daniel Gafford in DC this campaign. From tip-off day to December 19, he appeared in 31 games, averaging 15 MPG while not starting even one of those outings. From December 20 through... Read More

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18 Include Jeremy Sochan, Josh Green, Dennis Schroder, Sam Hauser

Welcome back to RotoBaller's weekly fantasy basketball waiver wire column and schedule breakdown. We've reached the weird week that is All-Star week, which is actually two weeks long, but with a break in the middle for the All-Star Game itself. The NBA season just keeps on chugging along, and so does the fantasy basketball season.... Read More

Torrey Craig (SF, PHX) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: This is a kinda-speculative pick, but not that much when you consider we're already past the trade deadline, and barring a surprising buyout-market pick by the Suns... then Phoenix's rotation at the SF/PF position doesn't feature many warm bodies going forward, let... Read More

Reggie Bullock (SF, DAL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: The massacre perpetrated in Dallas in the effort to land Kyrie Irving was expected to be fixed before the trade deadline... but it never came to happen. I'm talking, of course, of the Mavericks trading away every living breathing forward in their... Read More

Devonte' Graham (PG, SAS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: The San Antonio Spurs waited until the final moments before the deadline to make some moves but ultimately moved some of their pieces--namely Jakob Poeltl and Josh Richardson--while adding a few in return. One of those is Devonte' Graham, who had been... Read More

Tim Hardaway Jr. (SG, DAL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a while since tweener Tim Hardaway Jr. moved from his classic SG role to manning the SF slot in Dallas, making room for Luka Doncic and Spencer Dinwiddie to operate the one-and-two-guard spots. That's great for the future of Timmy... Read More

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 18: Tim Hardaway, Devonte' Graham, Immanuel Quickley

The deeper a fantasy basketball 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... Read More

Kenyon Martin (SF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think Kenyon Martin Jr. is any hidden gem anymore, but here I am writing about him as part of my weekly WW targets because he's still somehow rostered in just 15% of all ESPN leagues being played out there. Seriously.... Read More

Malik Monk (SG, SAC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Malik Monk left Friday's game early with an ankle sprain and with just 15 minutes on his odometer against the Mavs back then. He missed Saturday's matchup entirely but the injury isn't considered a concern going forward. Terence Davis was the man... Read More

Immanuel Quickley (PG, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: One game into the Hart Era of New York Knicks basketball (as the Nets fans would call it, I guess), Immanuel Quickley can sleep tight after knowing he's not the main casualty of the aftermath of the arrival of the former Trail... Read More

Thomas Bryant (C, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: I think I would have been writing about Thomas Bryant whether he had stayed in Los Angeles or not, but after he got traded to the Denver Nuggets right before the deadline, I think it makes even more sense to do so... Read More

Markelle Fultz (PG, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're barely two months into Markelle Fultz's Return Tour but it's been so far so good for the much-maligned point guard. Starting at the one for the Magic since the day he returned, it's already been 35-of-35 games started for the former... Read More

Walker Kessler (C, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Jazz didn't sell the whole team at the deadline day but they moved enough pieces to let folks around the league know that they indeed are just another tanking and rebuilding team looking more for a bright future rather than a... Read More

Chris Boucher (PF, TOR) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: The addition of Jakob Poeltl by the Toronto Raptors might end up affecting the big-man rotation of the Raptors but that should quite be the case nor change Chris Boucher's role in the squad that much. At the end of the day,... Read More

Derrick White (PG, BOS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of leagues ANALYSIS: First and foremost, Marcus Smart doesn't seem to be quite ready to make his return to the court yet. Even then, though, and with the All-Star break right around the corner at the end of this week, it wouldn't make much sense to... Read More

Kenyon Martin Jr. (SF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: Wath a wild season it's been for the Houston Rockets and Kenyon Martin Jr. He was on the fringe of making the team at the start of the season but ultimately stayed put and played a reasonably important part in it. Then... Read More
