LaMarcus Aldridge (PF/C, BKN): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: For what is worth, LaMarcus Aldridge is flying completely under the radar to kick the year off and that should definitely not be the case. For some reason, Brooklyn keeps starting Blake Griffin while deploying LMA off the pine. I mean, it's working wonders […]

Gary Payton II (PG/SG, GSW): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: Peep the minutes played by The Mini Glove: 0, 0, outlier-17, 5, 9, 6, real-18, solidified-18. That's correct. Gary Payton II is just bulldozing his way toward a bulkier role and playing time for the Warriors. It's just as simple as that. […]

Jalen Brunson (PG/SG, DAL): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of leagues ANALYSIS: First of all, forgive me for going this much over the 50-percent rostership self-imposed threshold. If you go to your WW and don't find Jalen Brunson sitting right there, I'm sorry, honestly. But Brunson's rostership has gone from 32% on Nov. 3 to […]

Thaddeus Young (PF/C, SAS): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: Thaddeus Young's rostership percentage hasn't moved a lot from the season's tip-off to his current mark of 40%. That's because fantasy GMs entered the year attracted to the veteran's upside after his 2020 season playing for the Bulls. The thinking went if […]

Jeremy Lamb Might Return On Sunday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has missed each of the last three games while he deals with a left ankle sprain. It sounds like Lamb has a decent chance of returning on Sunday, but fantasy managers will have to wait until after […]

Malcolm Brogdon Possibly Sitting Out Sunday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran guard appears to be dealing with a non-COVID related illness. He missed Friday's game as well, but at least this gives him more time to rest his lingering hamstring issue. Fantasy managers are likely going to […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic To Play Against Suns

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) will play during Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Hawks continue listing him as probable, but Bogdanovic will suit up despite a dealing with right ankle soreness. There is no indication that this injury will limit him at all. Sadly, Bogdanovic has been underwhelming this season, but fantasy […]

Christian Wood Grabs 17 Rebounds Against Nuggets

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood put in a lot of work on the glass on Saturday against Denver, finishing a 95-94 loss with 17 rebounds. This marks his career high in defensive rebounds. Wood posted a fourth consecutive double-double by getting 12 points on 4-for-11 shooting from the field. He finished 1-for-3 from outside and […]

John Collins Available For Saturday's Contest

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He has been dealing with a lingering left foot sprain over the last few days. Although, it appears Collins is healthy enough to suit up on Saturday. There is no indication that Collins will be limited at all for this […]

Serge Ibaka Could Be Active Against Hornets

Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka (back) is no longer listed on the injury report. The veteran big man hasn't seen any live action since May of last season. He underwent back surgery this offseason, but it appears Ibaka is close to returning. The Clippers will almost certainly limit Ibaka and ease him back into […]

Will Barton Has A Busy Game Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton did a little bit of everything in Saturday's 95-94 win over Houston, scoring 15 points on 7-for-19 shooting and registering seven rebounds and six assists with one steal, one block and one turnover in 37 minutes. Barton ended up taking the most shots on the team after Michael Porter Jr. […]

Marcus Morris Sr. To Sit Out Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He continues to deal with a lingering knee issue and it's uncertain when he'll actually get on the court. Although, Morris has reportedly begun strengthening his worrisome knee. In the meantime, Nicolas Batum and Terance Mann […]

Nikola Jokic Comes Up Big At Both Ends Of The Court

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 28 points and delivered a game-winning block in Saturday's 95-94 victory against the Rockets. Denver managed to erase a five-point deficit inside the final two minutes of regulation and took the lead with an Aaron Gordon triple. Houston had the final attack and Jae'Sean Tate found himself with a […]

Cameron Payne Will Play Against Hawks

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) will play during Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He missed each of the last five games while dealing with a lingering hamstring issue. Chris Paul has been getting extended run while Payne has been sidelined. It's uncertain if the Suns plan to limit Payne at all during his […]

Isaac Okoro Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Isaac Okoro (hamstring) will be sidelined for his seventh consecutive outing Sunday against the Knicks due to a strained left hamstring. Dean Wade has benefited from more minutes being available on the wing, but he has contributed more on the defensive end of the floor on most nights. Even when healthy, […]

Brook Lopez Continues Absence Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) has been preemptively ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Wizards due to persistent back soreness. The outing will be the ninth in a row that Lopez has been in street clothes, with Giannis Antetokounmpo stepping into the starting center role. Bobby Portis has also taken on an […]

Grayson Allen Earns Questionable Tag For Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Grayson Allen (illness) has been listed as questionable to play in Sunday's contest vs. Washington due to an illness. Milwaukee enters the matchup already short-handed on the wing, so an absence from Allen would be particularly troublesome. In the case that the sharpshooter is held out, look for Pat Connaughton and […]

Josh Richardson Returns To Action Saturday

Boston Celtics shooting guard Josh Richardson (foot) has been given the green light to get back into action Saturday against Dallas, where he played last season. Richardson missed Thursday's game due to a left foot contusion, but his return gives the Celtics another playmaker on the second unit. Romeo Langford and Dennis Schroder had considerable […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Return To Action Saturday

Dallas Mavericks power forward Kristaps Porzingis (back) has been cleared to get back on the floor Saturday against Boston. Porzingis has been hampered by a spell of back tightness to begin the year, which caused him to miss the team's five previous outings. Dallas will keep Porzingis' minutes in the 30 range, as it marks […]

Furkan Korkmaz Cleared To Suit Up Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Furkan Korkmaz (wrist) has been given the thumbs up to take the floor Saturday against Chicago. Korkmaz, who has started the last two games that he has appeared in, is returning after a one-game absence. With Danny Green (hamstring) sidelined, Korkmaz stands to have significant DFS appeal as Philadelphia's primary […]

Danny Green Will Miss Saturday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers small forward Danny Green (hamstring) will have his absence continued Saturday against the Bulls due to a sore left hamstring. After starting the first seven games of the year, Green will now miss his third consecutive contest, leaving a sharpshooting void on the wing. With Green unavailable, Furkan Korkmaz and Georges Niang stand […]

Kyle Lowry, KZ Okpala Get Green Light To Play Saturday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) and power forward KZ Okpala (ankle) have both been cleared to suit up Saturday against the Jazz. Lowry is the more pertinent of the two, having served as the new starting PG for the Heat. While he has scored in single digits in five of his first seven […]

Donovan Mitchell, Royce O'Neale Cleared To Play Saturday

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and power forward Royce O'Neale (ankle) have both been given the green light to suit up for Saturday's contest against the Heat. Mitchell returns after a one-game absence, which will bump Joe Ingles back to his usual second-unit role. O'Neale is yet to be sidelined this season, although […]
