Dwayne Bacon (SG, ORL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Of course you won't believe this, because you won't, but I swear it is as true as it is you're reading it: Dwayne Bacon of all men has scored the 35th-most points in May through Friday.

Jaxson Hayes (C, NO): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: I am positively convinced there is not a higher-upside play than adding Jaxon Hayes to your squad almost no matter which type of league you're still managing in.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Warriors are, miraculously, this close to making it to the play-in as a top-8 seed, which means they are closer than ever to making the postseason pretty much on the ridiculous performances from Stephen Curry. That's cool and expected, but what about Golden […]

Kenyon Martin Jr. (SF, HOU): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: There could be safer moves to make for the last week of the season, but if you're still fighting for something entering the last week of play, KJ Martin is looking as a monster-add for anyone managing in deep leagues stretching the competition […]
