Marcus Morris Sr. (PF/C, LAC): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: While he's calmed down in terms of scoring some over the past couple of games, Clippers forward/center Marcus Morris Sr. is still a strong fantasy addition right now because of his high upside.

Bam Adebayo Drops Career-High 41 Points In Defeat

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was nearly unguardable during Saturday's loss to the Nets, racking up a career-high 41 points on 14-for-20 shooting.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back), point guard Ben Simmons, and small/power forward Tobias Harris have all been given the green light to take the floor for Saturday's game versus the Pistons. Embiid spent the past two games demolishing Boston's interior defense to the tune of 42 and 38 points, respectively. He's once again in […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Ruled Out For Saturday’s Contest

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (quad) will miss his second straight game Saturday versus the Lakers, paving the way for Daniel Gafford to remain among the starting five.

Victor Oladipo, Christian Wood Ruled Out For Saturday

Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Victor Oladipo (quad) and power forward/center Christian Wood (ankle) will miss Saturday's game versus Dallas, leaving a sizable offensive void.

Kristaps Porzingis Unlikely To Suit Up Saturday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been deemed doubtful to suit up for Saturday's contest against the Rockets as the team attempts to limit his workload in his return from a knee injury.

Joel Embiid Might Sit Out Versus Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Embiid sit out here.

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic finished with 24 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, two steals and three turnovers on 10 of 29 shooting from the field and four of nine from three-point range in Friday's 120-118 loss against the Pacers.

Pierre-Luc Dubois Dealt To Jets In Sizable Trade

Columbus Blue Jackets center Pierre-Luc Dubois was traded to the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday afternoon.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota's starting center and perhaps its only viable fantasy player, announced his COVID positive back on Jan. 15th. Assuming he's out 10-to-15 days, the soonest he would come back is next Monday, although most probably he will stay out for the […]

Jeff Green (SF/PF/C, BKN): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Lost in the aftermath of the Nets-Rockets trade was the fact that a basketball lineup is made out of five, not three players. Even with all of Durant, Irving, and Harden locked as starters, Brooklyn still needs to put two more guys on the […]

Buffalo Sabres forward Dylan Cozens celebrated his first career goal in Friday's losing effort against Washington, bagging an unassisted marker in the middle of the second frame. Eric Staal and Riley Sheahan also scored for the Sabres in a 4-3 shootout loss, while the team's top line was held pointless. Cozens is the seventh pick […]

Nerlens Noel (PF/C, NYK): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: Noel has played in all 14 Knicks games this season. That's not a bad start, as we all know the best ability is availability.
