Josh Christopher (SG, HOU): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: I have followed Josh Christopher aka Jaygup since his HS days, and I have always loved his game and his attitude on and off the court. Kid just gets it. JC won't end up making an All-Star, nor the HoF, nor whatever,... Read More

Malik Beasley (PG/SG, MIN): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Malik Beasley has played 67 games this season. In other words, Malik Beasley has appeared in all but one game this season for the Wolves. Not only is he playing, but he's also getting his fair 25 MPG over the year. And... Read More

Jonathan Kuminga (SF/PF, GSW): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're getting closer to watching Draymond Green getting back to the court but given Golden State's current position in the standings (almost locked into the no. 3 seed) and the fact that there are only 15 games left on the schedule, would... Read More

Luke Kennard (SG, LAC): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: As much as it pains me, it looks like Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are really going to miss the full regular season and most probably the playoffs, delaying the Clips' chances at a deep postseason run one more year. The positive... Read More

Alec Burks (SG, NYK): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: As ridiculous as it sounds, HC Tom Thibodeau has turned clear-cut wing Alec Burks into a point guard. I am not saying it has worked, no sir, but Thibs is so stubborn that he's just forcing this square peg into a round... Read More

Immanuel Quickley (PG/SG, NYK): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: Are the Knicks tanking, or are the Knicks fighting for that play-in berth? Hard to tell with this wreck of a coach handling the rotation in Tom Thibodeau. If you ask me, I'd say the Knicks have found the sweet spot at... Read More

Malik Monk (SG/SF, LAL): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: I guess when you have LeBron James playing for your side you're inevitably going to fall on some lucky Ws throughout the regular season. That said, the Lakers suck and there is nothing too crazy about thinking they could still miss the... Read More

Bruce Brown (SG/SF/PF, BKN): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's fascinating how this deep into the season writing about the Los Angeles Lakers and about the Brooklyn Nets is virtually the same, and entirely because of the wrong reasons. Anyway, we're here to discuss a bona fide positive the Nets found... Read More

Mason Plumlee (PF/C, CHA): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hornets traded for Montrezl Harrell this past deadline. Although overall Harrell's minutes haven't gone down from those he was getting in Washington, they have cratered in March with three games at just 17 MP. Mason Plumlee has remained the big-boy paint-linchpin... Read More

Brandon Clarke (PF, MEM): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Another week gone, another Sunday I find myself begging you to roster this monster of a bargain.
