Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 13

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 […]

Bol Bol Traded To Pistons

Denver Nuggets center Bol Bol has been traded to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Rodney McGruder and a second-round draft pick.

Sacramento Kings center Chimezie Metu is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

DeMarcus Cousins Plans To Sign With Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets are expected to sign center DeMarcus Cousins to a 10-day contract.

LaMarcus Aldridge Questionable Against Spurs

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This might be more of a rest day than anything else for the veteran big man.
