Full Story »Bold Predictions for Week 9
Bold predictions are always meant to be taken with a grain of salt, but ideally, they are not a bunch of takes thrown like you-know-what at a wall with the hope of sticking. These predictions come with backing to make them somewhat substantiated with the obvious caveat that it's playing into a range of outcomes […]
Full Story »Malik Beasley (PG/SG, MIN): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: The arrival of Anthony Edwards last season surely brought Malik Beasley's upside down a notch, and there is nothing wrong about that. Edwards has delivered goodies steadily for the Wolves, keeps improving, and there is nothing stopping Ant the Man. But Malik […]
Full Story »Pat Connaughton (SG/SF, MIL): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Donte DiVincenzo still to come back from injury this season, and Khris Middleton out of the lineup since Oct. 30, it's been quite a busy start to the year for Pat Connaughton. Patty has started the last three games and six […]
Full Story »Anfernee Simons (PG/SG, POR): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Just when you thought there could be no more noise surrounding Damian Lillard--and Portland by extension--the point guard went on and kicked the year off wildly underperforming to date. The trade rumors will never stop, obviously, but now that Lillard is also […]
Full Story »Hassan Whiteside (C, UTA): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: See, Rudy Gobert hasn't missed more than four games in any of the past three years. He's gone on to play in the All-Star on back-to-back campaigns in 2020 and 2021. He's averaged 31+ MPG in the last six full seasons--and running. […]
Full Story »Derrick Rose (PG/SG, NYK): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing this post just hours after watching Derrick Rose put together his best game of the 2021 season: 23 points, 8 rebounds, 4 dimes, 2 steals, and a marvelous 55.6% shooting on a season-high 18 FGA while going 1-for-1 at the […]
Full Story »Grayson Allen (SG/SF, MIL): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: Are we sure Giannis is the best player on the Bucks roster? Seriously? Obviously, that's obvious. What I mean by that is that nobody is touching Giannis, nor Khris Middleton, nor Jrue Holiday for that matter either, but what about Grayson Allen's […]
Full Story »LaMarcus Aldridge (PF/C, BKN): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: For what is worth, LaMarcus Aldridge is flying completely under the radar to kick the year off and that should definitely not be the case. For some reason, Brooklyn keeps starting Blake Griffin while deploying LMA off the pine. I mean, it's working wonders […]
Full Story »Gary Payton II (PG/SG, GSW): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: Peep the minutes played by The Mini Glove: 0, 0, outlier-17, 5, 9, 6, real-18, solidified-18. That's correct. Gary Payton II is just bulldozing his way toward a bulkier role and playing time for the Warriors. It's just as simple as that. […]
Full Story »Jalen Brunson (PG/SG, DAL): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of leagues ANALYSIS: First of all, forgive me for going this much over the 50-percent rostership self-imposed threshold. If you go to your WW and don't find Jalen Brunson sitting right there, I'm sorry, honestly. But Brunson's rostership has gone from 32% on Nov. 3 to […]
Full Story »Thaddeus Young (PF/C, SAS): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: Thaddeus Young's rostership percentage hasn't moved a lot from the season's tip-off to his current mark of 40%. That's because fantasy GMs entered the year attracted to the veteran's upside after his 2020 season playing for the Bulls. The thinking went if […]
