BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With the departure of Roy Hibbert last offseason, Ian Mahinmi has started all 33 games for which he was active this year for the Indiana Pacers. Now in his eighth season in the NBA, Mahinmi is seeing career highs in minutes (24.2), points […]
Nikola Pekovic (C, MIN) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Nikola Pekovic made his season debut on Wednesday after missing the Minnesota Timberwolves' first 35 games with an Achilles injury that dates back to last season. He made three of his four field goals and all six of his free throws, finishing with […]
Robin Lopez (C, NY) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 66% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Robin Lopez has been stepping up for the Knicks lately and fantasy owners need to take notice. On Wednesday night, Lopez continues his streak of games with a rejection (getting to do the Mutombo finger wag twice in this game), but also […]
New York Yankees Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues
After a down year where they missed the playoffs, the Yankees were back in the postseason as the first of two Wild Card teams. And though they lost in the sudden death elimination game against the Houston Astros, Yankees’ fans have to be optimistic about their chances in 2016 after seeing promising youngsters Luis Severino […]

Jusuf Nurkic (C, DEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: So, after coming back from a knee procedure, it appears that Jusuf Nurkic's 15-minute cap is going to be raised according to Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post. This is good new for his value, although not so much for his teammate […]
Jeff Withey (C, UTA) - Cheap FanDuel Play on 1/7/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at HOU, $4,700 ANALYSIS: Last, but certainly not least, my favorite value play of the night. I don't understand how Jeff Withey's price is still below $5,000. He has AVERAGED 29 FD points over his last six contests, which is a baseline of 6x value. He'll probably be very highly owned tonight, and its always […]
Toronto Blue Jays Top MLB Prospects for 2016 Dynasty Leagues
The Toronto Blue Jays had one of the best offenses since the Big Red Machine of the mid-70s. They had All-Star hitters at just about every position and where they didn’t, those hitters were still well above average. Then they went out and added David Price to their only weakness and it appeared that the […]
Karl-Anthony Towns (C, MIN) - Strong FanDuel Play on 1/6/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs DEN, $7,500 ANALYSIS: Towns put up somewhat of a dud against the 76ers in his team's most recent game, but I like him to bounce back against a Denver squad that is hurting in the middle thanks to Faried's injury. In the three games prior to the T-Wolves loss to the Sixers, Towns […]
Jeff Withey (C, UTA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add for short term REB, BLK, and STL. OWNED: 23% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues With Derrick Favors currently hobbled with back spasms and Rudy Gobert still with no timetable for his return from a left knee injury, Jeff Withey has been playing big minutes for the Utah Jazz and putting up some […]

Be sure […]
Andre Drummond (C, DET) - Must-Play on DraftKings for 1/4/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $9,200 ANALYSIS: No matter his price, Drummond is always worth the nod. The center has 29 double-doubles in 34 games this season, and has failed to reached double-digit rebounds in only three. His average of 16.1 rebounds a night is higher than what most players average scoring a night. Drummond's value is […]
Cody Zeller (C, CHA) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With Al Jefferson sidelined for at least six weeks with a knee injury, Cody Zeller has seen more action at his natural position of center. In the month of December -- during which Jefferson has played just two games -- Zeller has scored […]
Al Horford (C, ATL) - Strong DraftKings Play on 1/3/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at NYK, $6,600 ANALYSIS: The Knicks have dropped five of their last six games, including one to the Hawks where Horford posted 19 points, seven assists, six rebounds, two steals, and two blocks. The center is coming off a season high 30 points Tuesday night, and a 58.5 fantasy point performance. New York has […]
DeAndre Jordan (C, LAC) - Safe DraftKings Play on 1/2/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHI, $7,800 ANALYSIS: Jordan has been playing well without Blake Griffin, as he’s averaging 11.7 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.8 blocks per game. He gets a great matchup against the Sixers, who have one of the worst defenses in the NBA, and Jordan should easily be able to dominate them. He […]
Nikola Vucevic (C, ORL) - Top DraftKings Play on 1/1/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at WAS, $7,900 ANALYSIS: Vucevic has continuously been returning value on a nightly basis, and that will likely continue tonight. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 23.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. His price is on the rise, but he still hasn’t priced himself out. He gets a tough matchup […]
Jeff Withey (C, UTA) - Value Play on FanDuel for 12/31
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs POR, $3,900 ANALYSIS: This pick completely hinges on Derrick Favors injury, so keep a close eye on his status before lineups lock. Withey is coming off of two 30 FD point nights, averaging a double double over those games. At $3,900, anything above 20 FD points is a premium, and I think he has the […]
John Henson (PF/C, MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: John Henson is a widely available option for those in category leagues. The youngster for the Bucks has been getting some more run lately because right now Jabari Parker and Greg Monroe couldn't hit water if they fell out of boats. […]
Hassan Whiteside (C, MIA) - Risk/Reward DraftKings Play on 12/26
MATCHUP/VALUE: at ORL, $7,200 ANALYSIS: This pick comes with a bit of risk because of the way Whiteside acted on Christmas. He was extremely upset about being benched at the end of the game to say the least, and his actions resulted in his benching in overtime, as well. Earlier in the season, the Heat […]
Kelly Olynyk (C, BOS) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Kelly Olynyk has become a staple in the frontcourt of a Boston Celtics team that surprisingly sits three games above .500 as of Christmas day. His minutes have increased as of late, and his 16.9 player efficiency rating is the second best on […]
MLB Ready Prospects: Top 30 Rankings for 2016 Fantasy Drafts
The Winter Meetings and all the action before it has been so fun to follow. How stacked is Arizona?! A rotation of Zack Greinke, Shelby Miller, Patrick Corbin, and Archie Bradley! That sounds lethal. I will say though that two trades stuck out in my mind as extreme overkill to get a solid player and that […]

Jon Leuer (PF/C, PHO) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Markieff Morris has been struggling this season and has lost his slot in the starting lineup. As a result, Jon Leuer has stepped up big time. Leuer has been found money over the last two weeks for the Suns and is contributing […]
NBA Centers: Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups & Sleepers
The center market is filled with young guys getting a chance. One of these players is due to break out this season and establish himself as a valuable rotation to a fantasy lineup. Actually, there's a chance all four guys could be that by the end of the year...there's also the chance none of them […]
Brook Lopez (C, BKN) - Top Center on FanDuel 12/14
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs ORL, $7,900 Brook Lopez is the best center option on the board tonight. He is the most consistent, and Nikola Vucevic is not great at playing defense. Lopez has two bad games in a row now, but that will not continue to happen. He is all but sure to score over 30 fantasy […]
Alex Len (C, PHX) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add for Underrated Value OWNED: 39% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Len, the seemingly-forgotten 5th pick of the 2013 NBA Draft, has suddenly burst onto the scene with a string of jaw-dropping performances. 20 points, 14 rebounds against Orlando. 15 points, 6 rebounds against Chicago. 13 points, 14 rebounds against Brooklyn. No, your […]
