Cory Joseph is worth considering as a fantasy basketball waiver wire pickup heading into Week 22 of the 2022-23 NBA season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Veteran guard Cory Joseph has experienced two very different seasons this year in Detroit. From the start of the campaign through the end of February, he played a total of 694 minutes (16 MPG) spread over 43 games (and more than 23 MP just four times), but just in March alone, he's appeared in all 10 games for the Pistons, logging a combined 286 minutes and playing 24+ every single time (29 MPG).
Joseph keeps playing as part of Detroit's second unit, but his numbers have skyrocketed as of late thanks to the veteran playing a much larger role coming off the pine than he did in the early portions of the season. He's been so good at everything, in fact, that he's yet to finish a game this month below the 16-FP mark while averaging a much-better 25 FPPG.
CJ has scored 11+ points in each of his last eight games while averaging 14+ PPG in that span and through Sunday. He's also hit a three-point shot in 10 straight matchups while keeping his shooting percentages from the floor above 42% in nine consecutive outings.
Joseph can contribute the most in the scoring (points, FG%, FT%) cats but he has now found a way to rack up assists (4+ APG in the last two weeks) and rebounds (2.8 RPG) while also providing one SPG in this recent eight-game stint.
