Sacramento Kings center Damian Jones is reportedly signing a second 10-day deal with the organization. Both Richaun Holmes (hamstring) and Marvin Bagley (hand) are sidelined, so the Kings are shorthanded at center.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35 Percent of Leagues ANALYSIS: There hasn't been much for Pirates fans to cheer for lately, but Colin Moran has been a steady producer for the Bucs and could be buried treasure for fantasy managers hunting the waiver wire for infield help.
