Avalanche forwards […]

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard scored 27 points with six assists, four rebounds, one triple, and a steal in a 138-100 blowout of the Kings.

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon scored his first goal of the season and added two assists in Friday's 8-0 victory against the Blues.

Calvin Kattar Could Enter Title Talks With A Win

Calvin Kattar (22-4) will be placed on a massive stage Saturday as he headlines the UFC's first card of 2021 and also the first card to air on the ABC network. The 32-year-old has won four of his last five bouts, with his lone defeat coming against Zabit Magomedsharipov in November of 2019. As with […]

Max Holloway Set To Headline 2021's First UFC Card

Max Holloway (21-6) is set to fight in the UFC's first main event of 2021. It's been a bumpy road for the former featherweight champion as of late, as he's lost three of his last four bouts, including dropping his title to current champion Alexander Volkanovski. Holloway is one of the UFC's all-time greatest strikers […]

Payton Pritchard (PG, BOS): Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: As long as Kemba Walker stays out, Payton Pritchard has all of the appeal in the world. The latest news to come out with regards to Walker's availability talked about the point being close to his comeback (originally expected to take place in […]

Patrick Williams (SF, CHI): Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Don't look now, but Patrick Williams is a 34+ minute player these days. The rookie has started each and every Bulls game this season at either forward spot (12 games, that is), but he had played more than 28 minutes just once in […]

Jeff Green (SF/PF/C, BKN): Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you've been living under a rock, sit tight because this is something: the Brooklyn Nets traded for James Harden, built a whopping Big-3, and sent Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince packing to Cleveland. You might wonder why did I include Allen and Prince […]

JaMychal Green (PF/C, DEN): Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Nuggets lost Jerami Grant this past offseason and while JaMychal Green is far from his level of play, the truth is that he's doing more than enough to be considered a viable player for slightly-deep-league fantasy GMs. Green has taken on a […]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker (SG/SF, OKC): Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Nickeil Alexander-Walker has done it all this season: he was extended (fifth-year option picked by NOLA) prior to the start of the year, then proceeded to play seven games coming off the bench, and finally he started at the point this past Wednesday... […]

Doug McDermott (SF/PF, IND): Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS: I was wrong about Indiana and its outlook for the 2021 season. I thought they'd drop a little bit in the standings, and the fact that they lost T.J. Warren a while ago only reinforced my thoughts. How wrong I was... Indiana is […]

Royce O'Neale (SF/PF, UTA): Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: Somebody explains to me how Royce O'Neale, Utah Jazz starter in all 11 games through Thursday. Yes, I know, Royce is not a world-beater, but again, he's starting games and playing north of 31 MPG, folks! Where can you find such a guy in […]

Paul Millsap (PF/C, DEN): Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: That Paul Millsap is more cooked than not, we all know. With that out of the way, though, Millsap is still a starter for this Nuggets squad, is logging 23.9 MPG this season, using a reasonably healthy 18.3 percent of offensive possessions, and averaging […]

Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, OKC): Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Hamidou Diallo cooled off a bit against the Lakers on Wednesday, the truth is that the Thunder forward has had quite a week going back to Jan. 8th and that game against the Knicks in which Hami logged a season-high 29 minutes […]

Shake Milton (PG/SG, PHI): Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: I can't build a big case for Milton based on his recent play. Milton was one of Philly's COVID-affected players this past week, so he missed every game the team played from Jan. 7th to Thursday's match against Miami, limiting his minutes to […]

You Paid What?! Overvalued Players in Auctions

Assuming the 2021 MLB season starts on time, we are on the precipice of fantasy baseball draft season. Spring Training will get underway next month, at which point, drafts roll out in full force.
