Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 11: Thomas Bryant, Jalen Duren, Moritz Wagner

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 […]

John Wall (PG, LAC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Clippers have used Reggie Jackson as their starting point guard all year long and that hasn't surprised anyone, not even backup PG John Wall. Wall signed with the Clips fully knowing the role he'd play for the lesser of the Hollywood […]

Marcus Morris (PF, LAC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been 31 games through Christmas. You can count them by the times Marcus Morris has started for the Clips, as that's been the case all year long. MM has been on the court for the tip-off action each and every time […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: Harrison Barnes has played at least 30 MP in all December games with the exception of the one kicking off the month back on Dec. 3. In the 20 days from Dec. 4 on (10 games played), Barnes has played some of […]

Luguentz Dort (SG, OKC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: I guess we have to take advantage of the Oklahoma City Thunder still using every viable player while that lasts. You know the shutdowns are coming in Shai, Dort, Giddey, etc... way, so you gotta hit while the iron is hot. Dort […]

Malik Beasley (SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: We might start thinking about Malik Beasley as a macrowave more than a microwave, ifyouknowwhatimsaying. Beasley keeps playing off the pine for the Jazz, keeps racking up shots in bunches, and most importantly, keeps hitting them with a very strong passion. Beasley, who […]

Killian Hayes (PG, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: More than 20 starts in a row, let's go!!! Killian Hayes and the Detroit Pistons have shaken hands once and for all and giving the French point guard a long leash is finally paying off. Just in the last six games alone, […]

Markelle Fultz (PG, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: We had to wait more than a full month to watch Markelle Fultz grace a basketball court, but he finally did it in Orlando's last game of November and he's now played (and started) 13 games on the full year and every […]

Mason Plumlee (C, CHA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: The worst possible news arrived on Friday evening when Woj reported ongoing discussions between Charlotte and Miles Bridges to sign a deal. Of course, that will have an impact on all Hornets on a usage-rate, field-goal attempt, playing time, etc, etc... basis […]

Jabari Smith Jr. (PF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: Dub-dub to close the pre-Xmas season? Gotta love it! Jabari Smith Jr. put up a 24-10 on the monster Friday slate and went home to rest until we're past December 25. That was great, of course, and here's hoping he can keep […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (SG, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: An under-the-radar player in #thisleague, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope keeps bagging starts in Denver after getting to the Rockies and arriving from Washington this summer.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Moritz Wagner keeps starting games nightly for the Magic and it's been eight in a row through Saturday. The minutes aren't gaudy and have dropped of late, but even then and in games played in December (eight, all of them starting), Mo […]

Deni Avdija (SF, WAS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: First of all, I have to admit that I fell for Deni Avdija before he entered the NBA and ahead of the 2020 draft. I was high on him, and now that hype I built around his name if only inside my […]

Malik Monk (SG, SAC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Malik Monk keeps flying too much under the radar with more than two months of play already in the books.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Wolves lost Karl-Anthony Towns all the way back on November 28 and he's yet to return to the court.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 10: Malik Monk, Kyle Anderson, Moritz Wagner

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 […]

Jabari Smith Jr. (PF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're reaching the exact point through Jabari Smith's rookie season at which some haters' heads will start to explode, won't they? Smith took time to adapt to the professional game and the high-paced rhythm of the NBA, but he's slowly but surely […]

Steven Adams (C, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's virtually impossible to find a player as efficient as Steven Adams is. In a fantasy world in which the average NBA player puts up around 0.90 FP/min, Adams is currently averaging 1.04 fantasy points per minute and an even better 1.10-figure […]

Malik Beasley (SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: Three games started, three games coming off the pine, six games overall in the past 11 days, and a freakish 28 3-point shots scored. Seriously. That's Malik Beasley right there for you. Beasley was a known heater off the pine, a preternatural […]

Killian Hayes (PG, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: The week kicked off with the news of Cade Cunningham finally deciding to undergo surgery on his shin, forcing him to miss the entire season once and for all. That won't change anything on Killian Hayes' front compared to what has been […]

Harrison Barnes (SF, SAC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: Two players in the NBA have logged more minutes than Harrison Barnes this season while having a lower rostership than Barnes currently has. Crazy, isn't it? Well, it goes from crazy to bonkers considering Barnes is a top-100 fantasy player through Saturday […]

De'Anthony Melton (SG, PHI) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: One more week without Tyrese Maxey and just a couple of games played by James Harden has allowed De'Anthony Melton to retain a starting position in Philly's depth chart, one he has not relinquished since he grabbed hold of it all the […]

Bennedict Mathurin (SF, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS: After going through a little bit of a shooting slump, if you wish to call it that, Bennedict Mathurin returned to his 20+ scoring ways in his most recent couple of games facing the Warriors and the Cavs on Wednesday and Friday, finishing […]

Mason Plumlee (C, CHA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hornets entered the Wemby Sweepstakes in a rather unexpected way mostly because of the team's players suffering a bunch of injuries, and they might actually end up throwing the season away entirely if they can't bounce back in time to make […]

Andrew Nembhard (PG, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Bennedict Mathurin is obviously the most rostered and most appealing player coming off the Pacers pine, it's worth checking on Andrew Nembhard's availability if you are managing a deeper-league squad in fantasy basketball. Nembhard has taken on primary combo-guard duties for […]

Jaylen Nowell (SG, MIN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: If this was, say, Anthony Edwards we were discussing, then it might be seen as a risky bet. With it being Jaylen Nowell and the youngster being available in nearly 95% of all ESPN leagues, not so much. I say that because […]

Shake Milton (PG, PHI) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: With the news of James Harden getting back to the court and having already appeared in a couple of games through Saturday (both of them played this week), it makes sense to find Shake Milton available in a few more leagues than […]
