Reggie Bullock (SG/SF, NYK): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: Thibs is one stubborn coach. That I sure know. He locked into starting Elfrid Payton at the point over Immanuel Quickley and he kept on doing even though the latter was clearly the better player. He locked into starting Reggie Bullock and kept […]

Saddiq Bey (SF, DET): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a great run of games from mid-February on, when he was thrust into the starting lineup by the Pistons, rookie Saddiq Bey seemed to come back to earth a bit in March. Now, with the AS break in the rearview mirror and […]

Joe Ingles (SG/SF, UTA): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: The best-case scenario for Joe Ingles fantasy GMs and those seeking his rostership would be to have February-Ingles in their rosters. Joe had his best span of the season from Feb. 5 to Feb. 27 when he went on to average almost 30 […]

Jordan Poole Logs High-Scoring Start

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole recorded his first start of the year on Friday with Stephen Curry (tailbone) out, and the 21-year-old had a fine evening with a season-high 25 points on 10-for-15 shooting in a 116-103 win over Memphis. Damion Lee also took advantage of Curry's absence and had his best performance of […]

Tomas Satoransky (PG/SG, CHI): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Bulls have changed their approach to games. In the last three matches through Thursday they flipped starters Coby White and Wendell Carter Jr. for Tomas Satoransky and Thaddeus Young and they went away with a 2-1 positive record. Sato, who has started […]

Kelly Olynyk (C, MIA): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kelly Olynyk made the cut by a hair. But he did it, which talks badly of you fantasy GMs out there. This guy should be rostered in way more than just half of Yahoo leagues, and if he's still available in your league […]

De'Anthony Melton (PG/SG, MEM): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Grizz welcomed Grayson Allen back to their starting lineup last Wednesday, and all he did was put on a serious dud. De'Anthony Melton, on the other hand, had a sound game in which he finished with a 13-10-6-2 dub-dub, hit a triple, […]

Andrew Wiggins Explodes For Season-High 40 Points

Golden State Warriors small forward Andrew Wiggins had a huge performance on Friday against Memphis, finishing a 116-103 win with a season-high 40 points.

Kenyon Martin Jr. (SF, HOU): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is a very real chance Houston doesn't win another game for the rest of the season. No, seriously. I'm writing this post just hours after the Rockets have sent P.J. Tucker packing to Milwaukee in exchange for D.J. Augustin--who they will flip […]

Moses Brown (C, OKC): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: After starting in back-to-back games on March 14 and 16, Moses Brown went back to ride the pine on Thursday night. That's not entirely a problem, assuming he can at least keep up the production he played at when he started for the […]

Christian Wood Has Double-Double Performance

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood recorded a double-double in Friday's loss to Detroit, notching 18 points on 8-for-14 shooting and adding 11 rebounds.

Danny Green (SG/SF, PHI): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: There aren't many starters with such a low rostership in Yahoo leagues these days. It makes sense to a certain extent, though, as Danny has been part of the starting five in all 41 games he's played, but his per-minute production has been […]

Dwight Howard (C, PHI): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: Even if you don't pay attention to the league that much, you know what's popping: Joel Embiid fell down injured and will be out for a couple of weeks. In the meantime, everything points toward Dwight Howard's direction to take on Embiid's role […]
