Reggie Bullock (SG/SF, DAL): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

Reggie Bullock is worth considering as a fantasy basketball waiver wire pickup heading into Week 18 of the NBA season.

ANALYSIS: My man Reggie has done it all for the Mavs. Point, two-guard, wing, you name it. Reggie Bullock signed with Dallas this past offseason after a nice regular season with the Knicks last year. Of course, the explosion of Jalen Brunson has locked him and Luka into the two guard spots with the forward slots often used by DFS and Porzingis... until now. KP was moved to Washington on deadline day, and although the pair of Dinwiddie and Bertans will eat some from the Mavs cake at both G/F spots, Bullock has been good through the year and great of late and should retain his role ROS.

Bullock, just in case you have not paid attention, has strung eight games in a row hitting double-digit points (average of 17 PPG in that span) getting back to Jan. 26. He came off the pine in the first four, and started the other half including the last four games played by Dallas through Thursday. It's hard to see Bullock keeping a 32-minute role in this team with the additions of Dinwiddie and Bertans, but I would bet on a rebound to his prior 24 MPG, either.

Reggie's points per game came from a spicy 49% field-goal percentage in that eight-game span and a terrific 4.3 3PM (!) per game. Bullock has also hit every single freebie he's taken in the past nine games without mistake (16 total). The turnovers are a bit high (nothing mindblowing tho), but the rebounds are fantastic for a guard/forward tweener (5.3 RPG) and he's raised his stealing averages to 1.1 SPG in the past eight games compared to 0.5 over the full year. Good deeper-league target pending how his role changes after the deadline deals.
