Week 22 fantasy basketball streamers based on H2H 9-category leagues for the 2021-2022 NBA season. Keith Cork recommends guards, forwards, and centers to target through waivers or free agency in fantasy leagues who may help in specific categories.
My home league is entering its championship this week which will be the final H2H league finishing up that I took part in. You should at least be in your playoffs by now, so we'll keep pushing for maximum value with these streamers.
Let's see how our top picks last week fared: Hassan Whiteside (FG%, 13th-round total value), Immanuel Quickley (FT%, 3rd-round value), Lonnie Walker (PTS/3PTM, unranked womp womp), Drew Eubanks (REBS, 7th-round value), Patrick Beverley (ASTS, 3rd-round value), Alex Caruso (STLS, unranked womp womp), Isaiah Jackson (BLKS, unranked womp womp). We hit BIG on four out of seven of these guys, but some injuries derailed Isaiah Jackson and Lonnie Walker IV. Alex Caruso has been struggling.
15 of the 30 teams in the league have four games this week, so we'll try to target those teams. 12 teams have three games, so we'll go to those guys if we have to. The Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings, and San Antonio Spurs all have just two games this week, and none of them play on Monday so feel free to drop if you're going into a close playoff matchup.

Week 22 Standard 9-Category Leagues
Columns are written based on H2H nine-category standard size leagues:
FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE
Drew Eubanks - PF/C - Portland Trail Blazers (41% rostered)
Drew Eubanks has hit the ground running with the Blazers and there's no looking back as Jusuf Nurkic is unlikely to make it back to the court this season on a tanking team. Over the past three weeks, he has shot over 62% on 8.6 field goal attempts per game. He's on a four-game week, so if he's available in your league I'd go snap him up post haste!
Other streamers:
- Goga Bitadze - C - Indiana Pacers (21% rostered)
- Brandon Clarke - SF/PF - Memphis Grizzlies (38% rostered)
- Hassan Whiteside - PF/C - Utah Jazz (34% rostered)
- Dwight Powell - PF/C - Dallas Mavericks (13% rostered)
- Naz Reid - C - Minnesota Timberwolves (6% rostered)
FREE THROW PERCENTAGE
Immanuel Quickley - PG/SG - New York Knicks (39% rostered)
Immanuel Quickley killed it last week and still went down in ownership, so that's pretty nuts. He's averaging 15.3 points, 6 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1 steal per game over the past two weeks and gets four games this week. Go get him, especially if you need free throw percentage as he's shooting 92% from the line on the season. He hits almost all his shots, which is insane.
Other streamers:
- Oshae Brissett - SF/PF - Indiana Pacers (16% rostered)
- Isaac Okoro - SG/SF - Cleveland Cavaliers (14% rostered)
- Jeff Green - SF/PF/C - Denver Nuggets (9% rostered)
- Naz Reid - C - Minnesota Timberwolves (6% rostered)
- JaMychal Green - PF/C - Denver Nuggets (3% rostered)
POINTS
Brandon Williams - PG - Portland Trail Blazers (33% rostered)
Yep, we are at that time of year where ridiculous people are carrying us to championships. You have to beware of the percentages when it comes to Brandon Williams, specifically his 63% mark from the line. Over the past month, Williams has averaged 16.3 points per game and that shouldn't change as the Portland Trail Blazers are tanking. Play him freely on a four-game week.
Other streamers:
- Immanuel Quickley - PG/SG - New York Knicks (39% rostered)
- Malik Beasley - PG/SG - Minnesota Timberwolves (39% rostered)
- Jonathan Kuminga - SF/PF - Golden State Warriors (33% rostered)
- Tre Mann - PG/SG - Oklahoma City Thunder (22% rostered)
- Pat Connaughton - SG/SF - Milwaukee Bucks (11% rostered)
- Jalen Smith - PF/C - Indiana Pacers (49% rostered)
THREE-POINTERS
Malik Beasley - PG/SG - Minnesota Timberwolves (39% rostered)
The truth is that Malik Beasley is a far better streaming option when the Timberwolves are missing a starting player, but if you're looking for three-pointers, you can't really beat him. Over the past month, he has hit 4.1 three-pointers per game, which far surpasses anyone else on this list. He also has four games this week, so that makes him a no-brainer if you need this single statistic.
Other streamers:
- Pat Connaughton - SG/SF - Milwaukee Bucks (11% rostered)
- Duncan Robinson - SG/SF - Miami Heat (43% rostered)
- Georges Niang - SF/PF - Philadelphia 76ers (5% rostered)
- Kevin Huerter - SG/SF - Atlanta Hawks (42% rostered)
- Max Strus - SG/SF - Miami Heat (6% rostered, *Keep an eye on Jimmy Butler's status)
REBOUNDS
Jarred Vanderbilt - PF/C - Minnesota Timberwolves (33% rostered)
Jarred Vanderbilt is a two-category pony, but if you need those two categories he is absolutely money. He's averaging 8.2 boards and 1 steal per game over the past month. Just don't expect anything more from him. As long as Jaden McDaniels is out, he'll be safe to produce at the same level we have seen with a small bump. The Wolves have four games this week. Get him if you need the boards.
Other streamers:
- Drew Eubanks - PF/C - Portland Trail Blazers (41% rostered)
- Kevon Looney - PF/C - Golden State Warriors (24% rostered)
- Hassan Whiteside - PF/C - Utah Jazz (34% rostered)
- Jalen Smith - PF/C - Indiana Pacers (49% rostered)
- Aleksej Pokusevski - SF/PF - Oklahoma City Thunder (32% rostered)
ASSISTS
Dennis Schroder - PG - Houston Rockets (48% rostered)
I bet you were expecting Patrick Beverley? You can make a case yet again for the always-chippy Pat Bev, but Schroder is the superior player when it comes to producing assists, and the Rockets have a four-game week coming up. He is averaging 6.7 dimes for this young Rockets team since the trade and he should keep that momentum going. Just beware that he could get shut down or be the recipient of random DNPs if the Rockets decide to embrace the tank and feel they might win a game.
Other streamers:
- Killian Hayes - PG/SG - Detroit Pistons (10% rostered)
- Markelle Fultz - PG/SG - Orlando Magic (26% rostered)
- Goran Dragic - PG/SG - Brooklyn Nets (8% rostered, *Better when Kyrie Irving sits)
- Raul Neto - PG - Washington Wizards (6% rostered)
- Ish Smith - PG - Washington Wizards (6% rostered)
STEALS
Kris Dunn - PG/SG - Portland Trail Blazers (6% rostered)
Kris Dunn signed a 10-day contract on March 13th and the rest is history. He's played exceedingly well for the Portland Trail Blazers while maintaining the tank, so I do not doubt that he'll get another 10-day contract in the next few days which will put him on the radar as a great streaming option for assists and steals. He's putting up 4.7 assists per game and 2.3 steals per game for the Blazers, and they get a juicy four-game week here. There is some risk involved since he's not under contract, but his 10-day runs through Wednesday means he gets at least two games.
Other streamers:
- Herbert Jones - SF/PF - New Orleans Pelicans (50% rostered)
- Matisse Thybulle - SG/SF - Philadelphia 76ers (37% rostered)
- Otto Porter Jr. - SP/PF - Golden State Warriors (19% rostered)
- Alex Caruso - PG/SG - Chicago Bulls (41% rostered)
- Jose Alvarado - PG - New Orleans Pelicans (6% rostered, *Keep an eye on Devonte' Graham's status)
- Jae Crowder - SF/PF - Phoenix Suns (46% rostered)
BLOCKS
Isaiah Jackson - PF/C - Indiana Pacers (38% rostered)
I'm leaving Isaiah Jackson here even though he's on a three-game week and he's in the concussion protocol. I understand if you disagree and don't go this route. The Pacers don't play until Wednesday though, so he should be cleared by then. Pop quiz: Who is the leading block-getter over the past month in the association? The answer is of course I Jax, so even on a three-game week, he's elite in this one category. You can stream someone else for Monday/Tuesday (Chicago Bulls have a B2B) then add I Jax. Or just snag someone for Monday's game then grab Jackson on Tuesday if you're worried someone will snag him.
Other streamers:
- Hassan Whiteside - PF/C - Utah Jazz (34% rostered)
- Brandon Clarke - SF/PF - Memphis Grizzlies (38% rostered)
- JaVale McGee - C - Phoenix Suns (19% rostered)
- Juancho Hernangómez - PF/C - Utah Jazz (0% rostered)
- Onyeka Okongwu - PF/C - Atlanta Hawks (18% rostered)
