BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Is Shaquille Harrison the ultimate Cinderella story of the season? Could be the case, if you ask me. I know, it's only been four games starting for the Bulls lately and another four at the end of November, but there is that.... Read More
Cam Reddish (SG/SF, ATL): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: What if Atlanta really hit the nail in the head with Cam Reddish?

Harry Giles (PF/C, SAC): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: It took what felt like ages, but it seems Harry Giles has finally arrived.

Delon Wright (PG/SG, DAL): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing this just a few hours after watching Seth Curry went down injured in Dallas' last game on Mar. 6 against Memphis. In a match in which the Mavs also missed Tim Hardaway Jr., it felt like a red-carpet ceremony for... Read More
NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 21 (Mar 9 - Mar 15)
Depending on your league settings, fantasy playoffs have either already started or are very close. This is the time of the year when we need to win the most and therefore can't afford any sentiment towards players who just aren't performing. It's wise to look ahead, even a few weeks in advance and calculate how... Read More

Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 20)
Initially, this intro was going to be another feature about the Miami Heat, but last night Shake Milton stole everyone's thunder and he is more than deserving of a few kind words. Milton was already mentioned in one of these articles a few weeks back, and finally this week, mainly due to injuries, he is... Read More
Garrett Temple (SG/SF, BKN): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's getting towards the end of the regular season in a lot of head to head leagues for fantasy basketball, and that means that we get to dive deep into the waiver wire pool this week with Brooklyn Nets guard Garrett Temple. Everyone... Read More
Harry Giles III (PF/C, SAC): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's taking time, but Harry Giles is finally getting there. A first-rounder in the 2017 draft, this is just Giles second season playing in the NBA and he's starting games once for all after featuring in 58 last year but without appearing in... Read More
Shake Milton (PG/SG, PHI): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Philly’s two centerpieces Joel Embiid (shoulder) and Ben Simmons (back) out for the foreseeable future, the team needs guys to step up. One of those guys has been second-year guard Shake Milton. Don’t let his current average of 7.6 points per game be... Read More
Justin Holiday (SG/SF, IND): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Pacers small forward Justin Holiday has been picking up his play in the most recent games. Though the 30-year-old has been averaging 25 minutes per game this season, he only averages 8.5 points. Furthermore, he has been inconsistent for much of the season,... Read More
Mo Bamba (C, ORL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS: Truth be told, for someone drafted with the sixth pick the 101 games played and the single-game started through more than a season and a half falls a little short of expectations. Mohamed Bamba entered the NBA last season and in the... Read More
Juan Toscano-Anderson (SG/SF, GSW): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Getting Juan Toscano-Anderson in your roster won't make you a league-winner overnight. Now, with that out of the way and already out there in the known, picking Toscano-Anderson up is an absolute upside-based move. Juan is one of the last additions to... Read More
Ivica Zubac (C, LAC): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is no way to make a case for Zubac being--or even eventually becoming--a go-to guy for the Clippers. Los Angeles has Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris, etc. and that is just the start. This team is so stacked that it... Read More
NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 20 (Mar 2 - Mar 8)
Fantasy basketball season is in full swing. Most of us are either fighting for playoff berth/seeding, or are already in the playoffs and are in full win-now mode. These circumstances give streaming even more importance, as many players become expendable if they're not going to give us enough games next week. Their place can be... Read More

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Pickups for Week 19
Technically, it's not the halfway point of the season. That came for most teams around January. But with the All-Star break behind us, the NBA enters the latter half of the regular season, where the quality of play should pick up considerably. Teams on the bubble will continue to make a push for the playoffs... Read More

Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 19)
This might come as a shock to some of you, but Jae Crowder has gone from fantasy irrelevance to, easily, a top standard league player. Over the past two weeks, however, he is posting first-round, top-12 production, despite being fairly new to the Heat. With this, many standard league players are selling high on Crowder... Read More
NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 19 (Feb 24 - Mar 1)
Hello, my dear fellow fantasy nuts! For those of us in tight battles for those last playoff spots, or better playoff seeding, streaming is next to a necessity. That sweet green W is worth a lot more than those bottom of the roster players that had to be sacrificed for the sake of the whole... Read More
Maxi Kleber (PF/C, DAL): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: I think Maximilian Kleber's ownership is a little too high at least for standard, 12-team leagues. Other than that, though, it makes sense to find him at 40% in deeper tournaments and structures. Keep in mind this stat: Kleber is averaging 25... Read More
Coby White (PG, CHI): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Coby White hasn't started a single game for the Bulls in his rookie season, at least he's taking baby steps toward improving his overall game steadily. Chicago has been giving White more chances lately by ramping up his minutes (under 24... Read More
Jae Crowder (SF/PF, MIA): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm making an exception here going over the 40% ownership threshold, but Jae Crowder totally merits it. The chances are lower you will find him still available for free in your league, sure, but if you do you shouldn't hesitate to add him... Read More
