Bam Adebayo Stays Busy On Both Ends Of The Court

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was everywhere in Wednesday's win over the Pacers, collecting 16 points with eight rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes.

Duncan Robinson Leads All Scorers In Win Over Pacers

Miami Heat shooting guard Duncan Robinson led all scorers with 20 points in Wednesday's low-scoring 92-87 win over Indiana, shooting 7-for-12 from the field and a nice 6-for-11 from downtown.

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 14

The deeper a fantasy 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 help […]

D.J. Augustin (PG, HOU) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: D.J. Augustin is in his 13th NBA season, and for a little perspective: he was taken 9th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Bobcats. The longtime backup point guard was dealt from the title contending-Bucks to the absolutely miserable Houston […]

Kelly Olynyk (PF/C, HOU): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: I've been preaching the Olynyk Word forever and ever. And now, with Olynyk being part of a stupidly bad and barren-of-talent Rockets squad, that won't change. Olynyk was moved by Miami just before the deadline to make room for Victor Oladipo, which means […]

Kenyon Martin Jr. (SF, HOU): Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS:  Nine games since the break for the son of legend Kenyon Martin in Houston. Nine off-the-pine performances at the forward spot, with varying results, but definitely with some mojo as to consider KJ a viable deep-league target going forward. The Rockets suck, and […]
