BALLER MOVE: Add as a three point specialist OWNED: 35% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball leagues ANALYSIS: Mike Dunleavy returned from injury two games before the All Star Break.

Khris Middleton (SG/SF, MIL) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED: 55% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball leagues ANALYSIS: Please tell me that the 55% mark is not accurate. There is just no way.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (SG/SF, DET) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED: 22% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball leagues ANALYSIS: The second year guard is on fire right now and considering his lines last week (16.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 2.3 three pointers per game) he should be added in all leagues until he begins to cool off. Another player […]
Donatas Motiejunas (SF/PF/C, HOU) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED: 38% owned in Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball leagues ANALYSIS: D-Mo makes another appearance on this list.

BALLER MOVE: Add in deeper leagues; monitor in all leagues OWNED: 3% of Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball leagues ANALYSIS: We are a few days removed from Thomas's 41 minute outing in Charlotte where he secured his second consecutive 16 point outing.

Donatas Motiejunas (SF/PF, HOU) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED: 31% in Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball Leagues ANALYSIS: D-Mo has been on a tear of late, especially considering how low his own rate is.

Robert Covington (SF/PF, PHI) - NBA Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED: 56% of Yahoo!
