Tony Bradley (C, OKC): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Dwight Howard's MPG since the break: 24; Tony Bradley's MPG: 20. Howard starts: zero; Bradley starts: seven. Howard's rostership: 45%; Bradley's rostership: 5%. At the end of the day, I think it's a matter of who you like the most, the starter or the […]

Danny Green (SG/SF, PHI): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: The news prior to the deadline was that Danny Green was more probably than not getting moved ahead of it, namely making room for Kyle Lowry or any other wing that would become a Sixer. Even Green's very own agent reported that just […]

Kelly Olynyk (PF/C, HOU): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: I've been preaching the Olynyk Word forever and ever. And now, with Olynyk being part of a stupidly bad and barren-of-talent Rockets squad, that won't change. Olynyk was moved by Miami just before the deadline to make room for Victor Oladipo, which means […]

Kenyon Martin Jr. (SF, HOU): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS:  Nine games since the break for the son of legend Kenyon Martin in Houston. Nine off-the-pine performances at the forward spot, with varying results, but definitely with some mojo as to consider KJ a viable deep-league target going forward. The Rockets suck, and […]

T.J. McConnell (PG/SG, IND): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Pacers remained quiet in advance of Thursday's trade deadline. What they did confirm, though, was some bad news regarding T.J. Warren: the forward won't return this season. Ugh. That sucks, but that also means Indiana will need to have their role players […]

Josh Hart (SG/SF, NO): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: After all was said and done, the Pelicans decided to hold onto Lonzo Ball and Eric Bledsoe, yet New Orleans moved on from J.J. Redick. For Josh Hart, that's fantastic. Guys like Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Kira Lewis (mostly PGs) won't get many more […]

Jae Crowder (SF/PF, PHO): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jae Crowder joined the Suns this past offseason and he's alternated the starting and reserve role all year long. He went on an 11-game streak of starting to kick the year off, then started only 8 of the next 23 games, but he's […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic (SG/SF/PF, ATL): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: After missing two months injured, BogBog is back in full force playing for the Hawks and he's only getting better each passing day. Thus the increase in his rostership, I guess. Bog came back at the start of March and he needed a […]
