Davis Bertans (PF/C, WAS): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: We have to thank Davis Bertans for proving how a contract year can definitely make one perform to higher-than-high levels of play in the NBA. That's what happened with Bertans last season when he had a year for the ages to re-ink his […]

Derrick Favors (PF/C, UTA): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: These posts are meant for all types of leagues, but this one is definitely in the realm of "super-deep fantasy leagues". The Utah Jazz is the best team in the whole NBA, they count their games by wins, will probably end the regular […]

Kenrich Williams (SF/PF, OKC): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Thunder--believe it or not--have found a gem in Aleksej Pokusevski. I know you're laughing at that, but it is the truth and you only have to read my WW-post about Poku this weekend to know more about it. Do you know what […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (PG/SG, LAL): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: I bet you won't believe what I'm about to write: KCP was the eight-overall pick from the 2013 draft. For real, folks. The Pistons picked KCP back then above the likes of CJ McCollum, Steven Adams, and a certain Giannis Antetokounmpo. Damn. The thing […]

Grayson Allen (SG/SF, MEM): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's funny how Grayson Allen drove all college basketball fans crazy back in the day due to his antics, how he kept those feelings heating once he became a pro, and how these days he's still driving Grizzlies (yes, his own team) fans […]

Cameron Johnson (SF/PF, PHO): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Suns relied heavily on Cameron Johnson for a stretch earlier this season. It happened back in mid-to-late January when Cam started nine consecutive games averaging a massive 31 MPG for Phoenix. That ended there and Johnson has been back riding the pine […]

Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: This is not about DFS, but it is actually about DFS, if you know what I mean. No daily fantasy sports, but definitely Dorian Finney-Smith, that is. DFS has started 40 games this season, which is to say DFS has started all games […]

Aleksej Pokusevski (SF, OKC): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: It was all laughs... until it was not. And if you're one of those still laughing out loud at Poku, shame on you, mate. This kid was rather bad from the tipoff of the season to Feb. 1, when he last played for […]

MLB Betting Picks for Saturday 4/10 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

My first Saturday deputizing for Steve went so-so with one winner from three. Chris Flexen looked like the KBO version of himself rather than his old MLB version and the Brewers were on the losers in the best pitching dual of the season so far between Corbin Burnes and Jose Berrios. That's why we're treading […]

The first EPL weekend following a 3-week hiatus nearly hit big for us. A game one winner was followed by a game two winner. Unfortunately, game three broke our hearts.
