BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Celtics bounced back from a loss to New York on Saturday by (illegally) beating Los Angeles after the refs played blind on the last play of regulation and denied LeBron James a pair of game-deciding freebies with the game ending in […]

Tyus Jones (PG, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: If Tyus Jones is not the best backup point guard in the Association, he must be close to being so.

Jericho Sims (C, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Knicks lost Mitchell Robinson for three weeks at the very least when the big man went down injured a few days ago. I wrote about him yesterday, recommending him as an add-and-stash type of WW pickup for those with enough room […]

Josh Richardson (PG, SAS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Richardson has experienced a (slight) bump up in playing time lately, going from playing around 23 MPG before January to 25+ MPG this month. That's all you can ask for while J-Rich stays in San Antonio, though, as the veteran won't […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 15: Tyus Jones, Josh Richardson, Immanuel Quickley

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Mason Plumlee (C, CHA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of leagues ANALYSIS: With less than three weeks to go before we go through the February 9 trade deadline, the rumor mill is heating up and getting filled with headlines involving The Last Plumlee. It makes all of the sense, obviously, considering the Charlotte Hornets […]

Immanuel Quickley (PG, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: While it is true that Tom Thibodeau has moved from an early-season 10-man rotation to a 9-man one since mid-December, there is a deeper truth baked into that: it's really a six-man rotation with three ancillary reserves added to it. And the […]

Mitchell Robinson (C, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of leagues ANALYSIS: You might not understand this post getting written this week after Mitchell Robinson suffered an injury, underwent surgery, and is expected to stay on the shelves for three weeks until he gets re-evaluated.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hawks have struggled this season but they seem to have found a solution to their woes, having gone 7-3 in their last 10 games through Saturday and losing one after having won their prior six. While finding De'Andre Hunter in the […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (SG, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're entering that part of the season when folks all the nation over start to realize that maybe, just maybe, the Nuggets are for real and Nikola Jokic inevitably will earn another MVP award. It's happened in the last two seasons and […]

Kyle Anderson (PF, MIN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The last time I checked (Sunday morning), Rudy Gobert was labeled a "game-time decision" in the Wolves' injury report while teammate Karl-Anthony Towns is still expected out until the end of next month, if not more. In other words: Kyle Anderson SZN […]

Norman Powell (SF, LAC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's now been a month of Norman Powell playing nightly for the Los Angeles Clippers after doing so to start the season but going to the shelves between November 29 and December 21. For some reason, though, it feels like most fantasy […]

Trey Murphy III (SF, NOP) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Zion Williamson out until the end of the month (if not more) and Brandon Ingram getting back for a month now but never actually making it to the court, Trey Murphy III has been one of the main beneficiaries from the […]

Thomas Bryant (C, LAL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: Anthony Davis should be inching closer to returning to the hardwood but that's still not happened.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 14

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Malik Monk (SG, SAC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a wild month for Malik Monk's shooting stroke. In the past 30 days and through Saturday, Monk has appeared in 13 games and he's hoisted a total of 137 shots from the field. The outcome: 53 FGM to 84 missed […]

Jabari Smith Jr. (PF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: I know that you can look at it from both perspectives, but if you don't think this is an extraordinary window of opportunity to grab some shares of Jabari Smith Jr., then you're looking at it from the wrong angle. Of course, […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14 Include Isaiah Jackson, T.J. McConnell, Donte DiVincenzo, Joe Harris

Welcome back to RotoBaller's weekly fantasy basketball waiver wire column and schedule breakdown. How's this season going for you? Need some help with your team? Let's get you some!

Kyle Anderson (SF, MIN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: Now they are improving, now they are not. Now they look good, now they do not. It's the Wolves season for you, just in case. One thing has stayed the same for a bunch of weeks now, though, and that's Kyle Anderson […]

Max Strus (SF, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: With the Miami Heat struggling all season long in terms of finding results and, perhaps more worryingly, finding a proper rotation given the multiple injuries issues of their players, the types like Max Strus keep putting on bulky reps and logging starts […]

Josh Richardson (SG, SAS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Richardson's season has been split into two similarly long parts to date. He appeared in 17 games before November 21 and then missed time until re-appearing on December 8. He started two games in the first half, and one in the […]

Jalen Williams (SG, OKC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: A few weeks before the start of the season, before Chet Holmgren got injured and ruled out for his rookie year, Jalen Williams didn't feature on anybody's radar. That changed the minute Chet went down, and it became an absolute reality just […]

Tyus Jones (PG, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tyus Jones decided to re-ink his deal with the Grizzlies last offseason when he could have tested the FA waters and moved elsewhere while knowing about the presence of a certain Ja Morant in Memphis. Can't blame him, though, considering he fits […]

Alec Burks (SG, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: Alec Burks does what Alec Burks does, no matter what. Of course, that wasn't entirely the case last year because 1) he played for the Knicks and you never know what's around the corner in New York, and 2) his coach was […]

Immanuel Quickley (PG, NYK) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: A week ago, I told you to be cautious about rostering and starting Immanuel Quickley.

Killian Hayes (PG, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: Now that we're past the halfway mark, we can safely say it: the renaissance of Killian Hayes has been consummated.

Max Strus (SF, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Miami Heat found themselves lacking warm bodies in November and that helped Max Strus rack up as many as 12 consecutive starts back then, only missing on doing so on Nov. 1 (though he still had himself a day playing off […]

Zach Collins (C, SAS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: Zach Collins started his first game in nearly a month (Dec. 12) for the Spurs and did so in fantastic fashion: 18 points and 12 rebounds in a 35-minute dub-dub to go with five dimes on the spot. Collins had not grabbed […]
