Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 14

March 29, 2021

Week 14 fantasy basketball streamers based on H2H 9-category leagues for the 2020-2021 NBA season. Dale Johnson recommends guards, forwards and centers to target through waivers or free agency in fantasy leagues who may help in specific categories.

Now the dust has settled and we will see a ton of the same faces in new places after a crazy trade deadline. The buyout market also created some interesting situations with the rich getting richer in the NBA. With a bunch of teams with new identities, let's see how we can navigate the streaming schedules this week.

There are plenty of opportunities in Week 14 with only six teams having three-game weeks. All other teams have four games this week meaning there are a ton of games to be played in this match up. The top streaming days are Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday so we will hit quite a few teams playing on these days.

Our staff at RotoBaller has great insight and daily columns on how to improve your squad and tips to make your team successful, so be sure to check them out! Now, let's get prepared for the upcoming week. All players in this article are rostered at 50 percent or less.

Week 12 Standard 9-Category Leagues

Columns are written based on H2H 9-category standard size leagues:

FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE

Daniel Gafford - C - Washington Wizards (10% rostered)

A trade is exactly what Gafford needed in fantasy and he showed his potential in his Washington debut last week. Gafford is another per-minute monster and is shooting a robust 70.2 percent from the field this season. Head coach Scott Brooks has a strange way of rolling out his center rotation in what seems like a carousel of bigs which keeps Gafford as a streamer. If Gafford can carve out a bigger role, he would elevate into a must-roster.

Other streamers:

• Ivica Zubac - C - Los Angeles Clippers (47% rostered)
• Dwight Howard - C - Philadelphia 76ers (35% rostered)
• Jae'sean Tate - SG/SF/PF - Houston Rockets (33% rostered)
• Isaiah Stewart - PF/C - Detroit Pistons (14% rostered)

FREE THROW PERCENTAGE

Shake Milton - PG/SG - Philadelphia 76ers (22% rostered)

Milton's finally hit his groove again with six straight games of at least 12 points or more. During this stretch, Milton has played at least 20 minutes in each and averaged 4.5 free throw attempts per game. For an 85.6 percent free throw shooter on the year, Milton is a net positive in this category. The Sixers play on three quality streaming days this week and have four total games, making Milton a great streamer for this category and others.

Other streamers:

• Ivica Zubac - C - Los Angeles Clippers (47% rostered)
• Jordan Poole - PG/SG - Golden State Warriors (46% rostered)
• Miles Bridges - SF/PF - Charlotte Hornets (46% rostered)
• Tomas Satoransky - PG/SG - Chicago Bulls (18% rostered)

POINTS

Dwayne Bacon - SG - Orlando Magic (6% rostered)

Bacon is rolling right now after the Magic basically cleaned house and Terrence Ross (knee) sidelined. Bacon had back-to-back games with at least 17 points since the trade deadline and has locked up the starting shooting guard position for now. The Magic play on all three quality streaming days and Bacon can give you that scoring punch to push the category over the edge.

Other streamers:

• Jordan Poole - PG/SG - Golden State Warriors (46% rostered)
• Malik Monk - PG/SG - Charlotte Hornets (26% rostered)
• Shake Milton - PG/SG - Philadelphia 76ers (22% rostered)
• Dwayne Bacon - SG - Orlando Magic (6% rostered)

THREE-POINTERS

Chuma Okeke - PF - Orlando Magic (38% rostered)

Another Magic player who has benefited from the trade deadline, Okeke has untapped potential that is slowly being shown to us. Okeke has three straight games with at least three three-pointers and appears to have the starting power forward position secured despite the acquisition of Otto Porter Jr. Again, the Magic are a prime streaming team this week and are almost guaranteed to get you more games.

Other streamers:

• Jordan Poole - PG/SG - Golden State Warriors (46% rostered)
• Danny Green - SG/SF - Philadelphia 76ers (43% rostered)
• Malik Monk - PG/SG - Charlotte Hornets (26% rostered)
• Marcus Morris Sr. - SF/PF - Los Angeles Clippers (23% rostered)

REBOUNDS

Dwight Howard - C - Philadelphia 76ers (35% rostered)

Somehow Howard is still rostered in under 50% of leagues despite being the only "true" center on Sixers roster with Joel Embiid (knee) still out. Howard has recorded double digit rebounds in eight of his past ten games and the Sixers have a great streaming schedule coming up. Embiid is still ramping up activity to get back to the court, but it could be another week until he's active.

Other streamers:

• Ivica Zubac - C - Los Angeles Clippers (47% rostered)
• Josh Hart - SG/SF - New Orleans Pelicans (38% rostered)
• Paul Millsap - PF/C - Denver Nuggets (35% rostered)
• Markieff Morris - PF/C - Los Angeles Lakers (7% rostered)

ASSISTS

Tomas Satoransky - PG/SG - Chicago Bulls (18% rostered)

Satoransky had a rough game with newly acquired Nikola Vucevic active, but let's not overreact. The addition of Vucevic should bolster Satoransky's value as long as he is getting the minutes and that has not been an issue after earning the starting point guard role. Assists are very hard to come by now and Satoransky can easily get you enough in the upcoming four-game week for the Bulls.

Other streamers:

• T.J. McConnell - PG/SG - Indiana Pacers (48% rostered)
• Shake Milton - PG/SG - Philadelphia 76ers (22% rostered)
• Tomas Satoransky - PG/SG - Chicago Bulls (18% rostered)
• Theo Maledon - PG - Oklahoma City Thunder (11% rostered)

STEALS

Theo Maledon - PG - Oklahoma City Thunder (11% rostered)

Maledon has the starting point guard locked up for good with the departure of George Hill. He had been starting for awhile, but Maledon's play has really seen an increase recently and is a great streamer for point guard stats. Over the past five games, Maledon is averaging 12.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 31.4 minutes per game.

Other streamers:

• T.J. McConnell - PG/SG - Indiana Pacers (48% rostered)
• Danny Green - SG/SF - Philadelphia 76ers (43% rostered)
• Jae'Sean Tate - SG - Houston Rockets (33% rostered)
• Matisse Thybulle - SG/SF - Philadelphia 76ers (9% rostered)

BLOCKS

Jaden McDaniels - PF - Minnesota Timberwolves (2% rostered)

McDaniels may have secured the starting power forward role and the Timberwolves have every incentive to develop him. McDaniels started four of his past five games and is averaging 1.0 blocks per game over that stretch. Blocks are hard to come by these days and McDaniels is available in plenty of leagues for those in need of blocks.

Other streamers:

• Ivica Zubac - C - Los Angeles Clippers (47% rostered)
• Dwight Howard - C - Philadelphia 76ers (35% rostered)
• Nicolas Claxton - C - Brooklyn Nets (16% rostered)
• Daniel Gafford - C - Chicago Bulls (10% rostered)

TURNOVERS

Trevor Ariza - SG/SF - Miami Heat (4% rostered)

With LaMarcus Aldridge reportedly going to Miami at first, Ariza was meant to be an afterthought. After a change in thought and Aldridge on his way to Brooklyn, Ariza suddenly is thrown into fantasy league consideration. Ariza had an absolute gem on Thursday and could end up running away with the starting power forward position. Newly acquired Nemanja Bjelica could easily take this spot and complicate things for the both of them, but for now, keep an eye on the situation.

Other streamers:

• Jordan Poole - PG/SG - Golden State Warriors (46% rostered)
• Maxi Kleber - PF/C - Dallas Mavericks (20% rostered)
• Matisse Thybulle - SG/SF - Philadelphia 76ers (13% rostered)
• Jaden McDaniels - PF - Minnesota Timberwolves (2% rostered)
