Richard Rodriguez (RP, PIT) - 2021 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

Saves are a scarce commodity in today's game, as more and more teams are relying on multiple relievers to handle ninth-inning duties. In last year's abbreviated season, just 10 pitchers reached double digits in the category. Going a little further down the list, only 18 closed out seven or more games, and that includes guys […]

Kemba Walker Scores 24 Points With Full Line

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker poured in 24 points with four assists, two triples, one rebound, a block, and a steal in Friday's win over the Clippers. Walker had been in a shooting slump in his previous three games, so it was a good sign that he shot 47.4 percent from the field. He also […]

Kawhi Leonard Records Double-Double In Losing Effort

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard poured in 28 points with 11 rebounds for his third double-double of the season in Friday's loss to Boston.

Malik Monk (PG/SG, CHA): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hornets have been without guard Terry Rozier for the past few games, and that has put LaMelo Ball in the starting lineup. That has also started a chain of lineup moves that impacted Monk, who leading up to Jan. 30 had only […]

Gorgui Dieng (PF/C, MEM): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: You won't believe this, but Gorgui Dieng is one of only 30 players earning the top-salary of their respective franchises in the NBA. Dieng is far from being the highest-paid player, sure, but he's got the max. salary among Grizzlies at $17.2M and […]

Theo Maledon (PG, OKC): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Thunder are screwed.

[…]

Patty Mills (PG, SAS): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: I will never grow tired of watching Patty Mills plays basketball, and I only hope he keeps doing it for five or ten more years, as stupid as that sounds and would be. Mills, although it seems he's been around for 25 years, […]

Wayne Ellington (SG/SF, DET): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Veteran Piston Wayne Ellington has been flying under the radar for far too long this season.

Jarred Vanderbilt (SF/PF, MIN): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Vanderbilt enjoyed a late-January stretch in which he started six games in a row, he's been back on the pine for the past five through Friday.

JaMychal Green (PF/C, DEN): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: It took time, and it won't happen often with Paul Millsap squeezing his last drops of basketball in Denver, but JaMychal Green finally started a game for the Nugs this past Thursday against the Lakers.

Jae'Sean Tate (SG, HOU): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tate has started the last nine games Houston has played from Jan. 20 on, and 11 of the last 12 expanding back to Jan. 14. Although his minutes of playing time have fluctuated from a low of 17 to a high of 37, […]

Naz Reid (C, MIN): Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: If/When Karl-Anthony Towns come back from his COVID scare, Reid will definitely lose all of his appeal. Wait a minute, are we sure of that? Sure, the two games in which Reid and KAT shared the floor this season (KAT has only played […]
