BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS:  With Ja Morant banged up and on the shelf, all Memphis could do was trust oft-reserve Tyus Jones and throw him into the starting lineup if only until Ja is back.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS:  The minute we stopped thinking about Love as a washed-up vet with slim-to-no-chances of helping Cleveland in finding him a new home, the minute he started to deliver good performances.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS:  With free-agency addition Grayson Allen putting on nightly shows for the Bucks, and Khris Middleton healthy once for all, Pat Connaughton is now mostly back to the pine and the second unit.

Patty Mills (PG/SG, BKN): Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS:  Whatever it is that is wrong, it is very wrong. I'm talking about fantasy GMs and Patty Mills, yes.
