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 […]

Kemba Walker With Huge Game Against Pacers

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker scored 32 points on 10-for-19 shooting in Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He added in six assists as well while shooting 4-for-10 from three. In addition, Walker grabbed three rebounds and recorded one steal. On Sunday, he'll face the Washington Wizards, who allow the second-most points and 10th-fewest assists […]

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 […]

Domantas Sabonis With 24 Points In Loss

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis scored 24 points on 7-for-12 shooting in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. In addition, he grabbed six rebounds and dished out a team-high nine assists. Sabonis was 1-for-3 from deep. He'll play the Knicks on Saturday, who allow opponents to grab the 15th-most rebounds in the NBA while shooting […]

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 […]

Bam Adebayo Fills Up The Box Score In Friday's Victory

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo filled up the box score in Friday's impressive win over the Jazz. Adebayo scored 19 points while pulling down 11 boards for his fourth straight double-double, adding seven assists, a block, and a steal in 34 minutes. The All-Star snub was questionable heading into the game, though the team didn't […]

Goran Dragic Pours In Efficient 26 Points In Win Over Jazz

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic scored 26 points with three rebounds, three triples, two assists, and two steals in Friday's win over the Jazz. Dragic drew a tough assignment against Mike Conley and Utah's league-best defense, though he looked excellent, tying the franchise record for the most 20-plus point games off the bench. The 34-year-old […]

Jimmy Butler Drops Season-High 33 Points

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler came up in the clutch for his team in their 124-116 win over the Jazz. Butler sliced to the rim with under a minute left in the game and got his floater to roll into the bucket for two of his season-high 33, effectively sealing the win. The 31-year-old added […]

Thaddeus Young Records Double-Double In 22 Minutes

Chicago Bulls forward Thaddeus Young notched his second double-double of the season in a losing effort to the Suns on Friday. Young scored 13 points with 10 rebounds and five assists while committing no turnovers. The 32-year-old has often been an unheralded player for much of his career, though in many ways, this has been […]

Deandre Ayton Scores 22 Points With Full Line

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton took a season-high 17 shots en route to a 22-point night in Friday's 106-97 win over Chicago. Ayton rounded out his productive line with seven rebounds, three blocks, an assist, and a steal in 33 minutes. The 22-year-old came alive defensively in the fourth quarter, where he recorded all three […]

Chris Paul Hands Out 15 Assists In Win Over Bulls

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul showed off his playmaking skills once again in Friday's win over the Bulls. Paul scored 14 points with 15 assists- matching his second-highest total of the season- along with six rebounds and three steals in 35 minutes. The recently named All-Star has amazingly had at least one steal in 26 […]

Jerami Grant Returns On Friday Night

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant will play on Friday night against Sacramento. The 26-year-old was held out of Wednesday's contest against New Orleans to rest but is ready to go in a favorable matchup against the Kings. He should be considered a must-start in all fantasy formats and a viable option in DFS contests.

Jeff Green Questionable Against Dallas

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Jeff Green (shoulder) is considered questionable heading into Saturday's matchup against Dallas. The veteran has been dealing with a contusion, an ailment that has caused him to miss the team's previous two outings. With Kevin Durant (hamstring) out until after the All-Star break, Bruce Brown may continue to see some additional run […]

Elfrid Payton Doubtful Against Pacers

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is unlikely to play on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. Payton has been dealing with soreness in his right hamstring, an injury that forced him to miss Thursday's meeting with the Kings. If he does sit, look for Derrick Rose to likely draw another start, with the veteran […]

Malik Beasley To Miss His Next 12 Games

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley will miss the team's next 12 contests due to a suspension. The 24-year-old recently pled guilty to a felony stemming from an October incident where he waved a gun at a family parked near his residence. He will also serve 120 days in jail, which will occur upon completion of the […]

Tobias Harris Ruled Out On Saturday Night

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran suffered a right knee contusion during Thursday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. While the MRI came back with positive results, the injury may keep him on the shelf for more than one game. In his […]

Taurean Prince Out Against Philly

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince (personal) will not play on Saturday against the 76ers. The 26-year-old just returned from a four-game absence a few nights ago against the Houston Rockets but will once again miss another one. Dean Wade may be the likely candidate to slide back into the starting lineup, with the former Kansas […]

Cody Zeller Ruled Out Against Warriors

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (hip) will not play Friday against the Golden State Warriors. Zeller's minutes were trending down before leaving Wednesday's game with a hip contusion and was doubtful coming into this contest. P.J. Washington and Bismack Biyombo will likely see a big boost in minutes with Washington being the more attractive option […]

Dennis Schroder Set To Return Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schroder will return to the starting lineup Friday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Schroder has been away from the team due to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but he has been cleared and will slide back into his starting role. Schroder had a great game before missing four […]

Bam Adebayo Will Start Friday

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (knee) is active and starting Friday against the Utah Jazz. Adebayo is dealing with knee soreness and was questionable to play, but will start and have a tall task against Rudy Gobert and the top-seeded Jazz. If Adebayo is limited, Precious Achiuwa and Kelly Olynyk would likely see more minutes. […]

Jonas Valanciunas Starting Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (thigh) will play and start Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Valanciunas was a game-time decision while dealing with a sore thigh, but he will play in the back-to-back set against the Clippers. It's possible Valanciunas may be limited considering they just played Thursday, but he should still be safe […]
