Max Strus (SF, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Never before had Max Strus played more than 41 minutes in a single game. Never before, truth be told, had he probably found himself in such a situation as the one the Miami Heat were in last Friday facing the Wizards while having only seven players available.

Strus has started seven games in a row including Friday's outing away from home. He's been equally good in the starting five as he's been coming off the pain early in the season, though. With the Heat lacking warm bodies on a game-to-game basis for one reason or another, Sturs has been playing massive amounts of minutes starting or not and he's currently averaging 35 MPG.

The wing has scored 10+ points in each of his last 12 games with just one exception. He's also dropped at least two 3-point shots every time he's graced the hardwood with that same lone exception (5 points, one three-pointer).

In nine games played this month, Strus is averaging 17+ PPG (3.3 3PM per game), along with 2.5 RPG, 2 APG, and 1+ SPG.

Strus has the fewest games started (9) among players (42 of them) with 500+ MP through Friday and he is one of only two rostered in fewer than 60% of all ESPN leagues. He's one of four players averaging a baseline of 15-3-1 with fewer than 1.5 TOPG through the first month of play with that minimum amount of minutes played. The other three: Andrew Wiggins, Mikal Bridges, and Kelly Oubre.
