Bojan Bogdanovic Explodes For Season-High 32 Points

Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic dropped a season-high 32 points in a 120-101 win over the Mavericks. Bogdanovic was on fire, shooting 10-for-16 from the field and 7-for-10 from beyond the arc, as he picked up the offensive slack with Donovan Mitchell sidelined. The 31-year-old has struggled mightily with his shooting efficiency this year, so […]

T.J. McConnell (PG/SG, IND) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: McConnell got his shot as an UDFA with Philly because they were in desperate condition, putting a roster together with a recession-like budget. Six years later, he's doing nearly the exact same things in his second season with Indiana that he was doing from […]

Cody Zeller (C, CHA): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Cody Zeller played all the way back on the NBA's tipoff night (Dec. 23) and then missed every single game up until Jan. 22 when he came back for the hornets and played a low 10 minutes. The team has been getting the […]

Anfernee Simons (PG/SG, POR): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Blazers are hurting for warm bodies, and hurting bad at it. Zach Collins remains out, CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic got injured earlier this season, and even Robert Covington and Derrick Jones entered the injury report in the last few hours. Ugh. […]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker (SG/SF, IND): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: This is more of a mid/long-term play rather than a present-day one. The rumors are growing louder when it comes to New Orleans looking for trade partners in an eventual transaction sending Lonzo Ball and/or JJ Redick away from Mardi Town. The Pelicans […]

Jeff Green (SF/PF/C, BKN): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: There are three certain things in Brooklyn these days: Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and Kevin Durant, who are starting every game. If you push it a bit, there is a fourth: DeAndre Jordan, based-washed-center. The remaining starting spot is up for grabs, and […]

JaMychal Green (PF/C, DEN): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been 14 games for JaMychal Green as a Nugget already, which takes the surprise element from this blurb. At this point, with more than a quarter of the season in the rearview mirror, you very well know what happened in the offseason […]

Jae Crowder (SF/PF, PHO): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Jae Crowder started the season as Phoenix's starting PF after his great days with Miami last year, things changed quickly in the desert and after 11 games it was Cam Johnson who was trusted as the starter along with Mikal Bridges, sending […]

Justin Holiday (SG/SF, IND): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: Victor Oladipo, now a Rocket, played his last game for Indiana back on Jan. 11. That same day, Justin Holiday started at the SF position for the first time this season... and he hasn't left the starting five ever since, either as a […]

David Nwaba (SG/SF, HOU): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing this just after Houston pulled off the upset against Portland on Thursday. This game has been the first in which David Nwaba has played fewer than 21 minutes since Jan. 14, and the first one all season long (16 GP) in […]

Jarred Vanderbilt (SF, MIN): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: Both bench-players Jarred Vanderbilt and Naz Reid have benefited a lot from Karl-Anthony Towns and Juancho Hernangomez COVID-related absences. With the latter two still on the shelf and not a clear date for their return set, the former will keep getting starts and, perhaps […]

Naz Reid (C, MIN): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: C Karl-Anthony Towns hasn't played a game since Jan. 13, same as PF Juancho Hernangomez. With those two early-season starters out of commission and without a clear path back to the court yet (COVID protocols), Naz Reid (and teammate Jarred Vanderbilt) has taken […]

Pascal Siakam Has Big Performance With 32 Points

Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam produced a big bounce-back performance on Friday, leading all scorers with 32 points in a 126-124 loss to Sacramento. He shot 11-for-20 from the field and 10-for-14 at the line, adding four rebounds, three assists, and one steal with three turnovers in 38 minutes. Siakam has been very quiet […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 21: English Premier League

Cardinals Trade For Nolan Arenado

Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado was traded to the Cardinals on Friday for a likely package of Austin Gomber, Luken Baker and Jhon Torres.

D'Angelo Russell With 14 Points In Return

Playing for the first time since Jan. 22 due to a quadriceps injury, Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell scored 14 points on 3-for-11 shooting in Friday's loss to the 76ers. Russell also added four assists and a steal. It wasn't a great game, especially with a weakened Minnesota team that really needed Russell to take […]

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris scored 17 points on 6-for-17 shooting in Friday's win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. He also added 11 rebounds, three assists, a steal, and two blocks.
