Christian Wood Ruled Out For Monday

Dallas Mavericks center Christian Wood (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is bad timing with Kyrie Irving (foot) and Luka Doncic (thigh) already ruled out. The Mavericks are going to be extremely shorthanded which will mean significant minutes for their role players. Dwight Powell and JaVale McGee should […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds For Week 21: Jonathan Kuminga, Malik Monk, Killian Hayes

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 […]
