Greg Oden (Center) - Waiver Wire Analysis

The former number one overall pick was able to get back on the floor for the first time this season on Wednesday.  In just 8 minutes he went 2/2 from the floor and had 6 points and 2 rebounds. Oden is not likely to see big minutes in the near future, however the Heat have […]

James Johnson (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickup

With Tony Allen on the injury list, Johnson has taken over the role of defensive stopper for the Grizzlies.  Johnson has posted 7 steals and 10 blocks in Memphis’ last three games.  Along with his defensive prowess, he has also produced solid all-around numbers as shown in his last game where he had 15 points, […]

Kris Humphries (Center) - Waiver Wire Pickup

After a disappointing season in Brooklyn last year, fantasy owners were hopeful that a change of scenery would rejuvenate Humphries.  Early in the season that was not the case, as he was getting very little playing time and not doing much while he was in the game.  However recently he has been moved into the […]

Ersan Ilyasova (Forward) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Much like last season, Ilyasova came into the season with high expectations only to struggle out of the gate.  Again like last season he has started to show flashes of brilliance at the halfway mark of the year.  On Monday he put up 29 points on with 3 three point makes and then was able […]

Marco Belinelli (Guard) - Waiver Wire Analysis

News that Danny Green is out for a month with a broken finger means Belinelli needs to be on your watch list.  He has scored in double figures in seven of his last eight games, while also putting up solid rebounding and assist totals.  If Manu Ginobili sits any games, Belinelli could easily move into must own status. By […]

Courtney Lee (Guard) - Waiver Wire Analysis

Lee has been a revelation since his trade from Boston.  The new Grizzlies guard has scored at least 8 points in all five games with his new team.  Lee’s production should go down when Tony Allen returns, however for a Memphis team that struggles to score, Lee may get an extra-long look. By popular demand, RotoBaller has […]

Randy Foye (Guard) - Waiver Wire Pickup

A week after making our waiver wire watch list, Foye moves into must own status.  He has scored in double figures for 10 straight games, including 20+ in three of his past five games.  Foye has been doing a ton of his damage from deep as he has 25 three pointers made in the Nuggets […]

J.J. Redick (Guard) - Waiver Wire Pickup

With just two games back from injury under his belt, Redick showed why he is such a valuable fantasy commodity.  In those two games he has 52 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, and 8 three pointers made.  Those numbers are solid, especially when you consider that he has played just 54 minutes in those two […]

Shaun Livingston (Guard) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Livingston has been seeing big minutes for the Nets and has produced accordingly.  In the last two weeks he is getting 36.5 minutes a game and is putting up 10.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.7 steals per contest.  With Deron Williams being a continuous injury risk, Livingston is the only point guard option on the […]
