Wayne Ellington (SG/SF, LAC): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: So, uhh, Wayne Ellington has been moving a moment. On January 15th, the Pistons/Wizards game was postponed.

Marcus Morris Sr. (PF/C, LAC): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: While he's calmed down in terms of scoring some over the past couple of games, Clippers forward/center Marcus Morris Sr. is still a strong fantasy addition right now because of his high upside. Just this past week, Morris had a pair of games […]

Royce O'Neal (SF/PF, UTA): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale hasn't had the most consistent season, but his high minutes per game and role as a starter for the Jazz makes him an ideal pickup in deeper fantasy basketball leagues.

Alex Caruso (PG/SG, LAL): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Caruso isn't someone you need to be going out and grabbing immediately, but he has some situational value in deeper leagues, and sometimes that's enough.

James Harden Sets Up Teammates In Triple-Less Double-Double

A major concern for fantasy managers upon the realization of the Nets' Big 3 was that one of the trio would be left out when it came to their usual monster fantasy production.

Bam Adebayo Drops Career-High 41 Points In Defeat
