10 Fantasy Basketball Streamers for Week 24

Welcome to Fantasy Basketball Streamers for Week 24.

If you’re reading this, you’ve made it to the final stretch—whether that’s the championship matchup or a battle for third place. Either way, respect. And honestly, if your league runs all the way through the final week of the NBA season… you’re a different breed.

Let’s be real: this is the wildest, most unpredictable week of the entire year. Rotations will be all over the place, random rest days will pop up out of nowhere, and teams will fully embrace the chaos. It’s “silly season” at its peak—and navigating it correctly is what separates winning from coming up just short.

Everything in this guide is built off what we saw in Week 23 and what we can project heading into this final slate. That means factoring in which teams are still fighting for playoff seeding or play-in spots—and which teams have fully shifted into development mode. Those tanking teams? They’re about to hand heavy minutes to players you may have barely heard of… and those are exactly the guys who can win you your matchup.

This is not the week to trust name value. In fact, some of those “brand-name” players on non-competitive teams could give you absolutely nothing as organizations prioritize lottery odds and positioning for the 2026 NBA Draft—where prospects like AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer, and Darryn Peterson are waiting at the top.


Week 24 Strategy

Opportunity is everything right now.

As always, every player featured in this article is rostered in under 30% of Yahoo leagues, giving you a strong chance to scoop them up. I’ll also break down the weekly schedule, highlight the key back-to-backs, and finish with my priority streaming rankings to help you make those final calls.

One quick strategy note: there are only two sets of back-to-backs, so if you’re maximizing games played, be sure to take advantage of them. Be aggressive from Monday through Friday—this is where matchups are won.

Normally, I try to avoid recommending players on teams with lighter schedules. This week, there are four teams with only four games—the Hornets, Pelicans, Kings, and Jazz—and typically, that’s a spot I stay away from when streaming.

However… we’re making an exception.

The Jazz have been an absolute gold mine during silly season, consistently handing out huge minutes to their rotation guys. At this point in the year, opportunity > schedule. So while you won’t see me forcing in players from other four-game teams, the Jazz players featured in this article are simply producing too much to ignore. Even with a lighter schedule, I fully expect them to return enough value to justify a streaming spot this week.

This is it. No holding back now.

Let’s get into it.

Collin Sexton, PG/SG, Chicago Bulls

Over the past five games, the Bulls have given Sexton 26+ minutes per night, and he’s averaging 21.0 points, 3.4 three-pointers, 2.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.0 steals while shooting 52.2% from the field in 28.5 minutes per game.

“Young Bull” is taking full advantage of the opportunity, and he couldn’t ask for a better start to the week with back-to-back matchups against the tanking Wizards on Tuesday and Thursday. Even in a bench role, he’s commanding a ton of usage—and that alone puts him firmly at the top of this list heading into the week.

Cody Williams, SG/SF, Utah Jazz

Williams has been a staple on this list since the fantasy playoffs began, and this final week is no exception. Despite only having three games, he could realistically log more total minutes than some four-game streamers you’re considering. Over his last six games, the Colorado product is averaging 34.8 minutes, producing 18.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game during that span.

He also opens the week with two favorable matchups against the Pelicans and Grizzlies. With that kind of opportunity and momentum, the former Colorado Buffalo should be rostered and streamed in most—if not all—leagues.

Kennedy Chandler, PG, Utah Jazz

All Chandler has done is produce since getting his name called on March 21. Over his last eight games, the Tennessee product is averaging 12.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 6.4 assist, 1.2 stocks, and 1.0 three-pointers in 31.4 minutes per game during that span.

Even after his initial 10-day contract expired following the March 30 matchup against the Cavaliers, the Jazz brought him back on a second 10-day deal—and he immediately delivered. On April Fools’ Day against the Nuggets, Chandler posted 16 points, five rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block in 32 minutes, good for 37 fantasy points against a tough Denver defense.

Look for him to log extremely heavy minutes in Week 24. And just like Williams, he opens the week with matchups against the Pelicans and Grizzlies. Smash stream.

Will Riley, SF/PF, Washington Wizards

The Wizards have been giving Riley a ton of run over his past five games, and he’s capitalizing—averaging 18.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 three-pointers, and 1.0 steals in 29 minutes per game while shooting an efficient 51.5% from the field.

Washington is fully committed to letting the Illinois product play through mistakes and develop, so expect the strong stretch of production to continue into Week 24. He also opens the week with favorable matchups against the Nets and Bulls, putting him firmly on the streaming radar.

Julian Reese, PF/C, Washington Wizards

Reese is the definition of a per-minute monster—he’s done nothing but produce when he actually sees the floor. The only issue? Opportunity.

Because he’s on a two-way contract, the Wizards have been extremely selective with his appearances. But when he plays, he delivers. Since March 17, he’s only suited up twice: a dominant 26-point, 17-rebound performance against the Jazz on March 25, followed by an eight-point, 13-rebound, four-assist outing against the Blazers on March 29.

Washington held him out on April Fools’ Day against the 76ers to preserve his remaining eligibility, and he’s now in position to appear in each of the team’s final five games.

Now, this next part involves a bit of projection—but it’s a bet worth making. The Wizards have every reason to evaluate Reese down the stretch, which could mean heavy minutes if he’s active. This is absolutely a situation to monitor, but if he’s in the lineup, he needs to be streamed immediately.

You can start by rolling him out Monday against the Nets and adjust from there. If he ends up playing every remaining game, he has legitimate league-winning upside.

High risk. Massive reward. Monitor closely.

Dylan Harper. PG/SG, San Antonio Spurs

After being inactive on March 14 and 16, Harper has flipped a switch. Over his last 10 games, he’s averaging 14.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.6 three-pointers, and 1.0 stocks in 23.8 minutes per game during that span.

The No. 2 overall pick is quickly carving out a real role in the Spurs’ rotation, anchoring the second unit while also seeing time alongside the starters thanks to his playmaking and scoring ability. As long as he’s hovering around 24+ minutes per game, he should not be sitting on waiver wires.

Julian Champagnie, SG/SF, San Antonio Spurs

Champagnie’s season has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but he’s trending in the right direction. Over his last six games, the 24-year-old is averaging 11.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.3 three-pointers, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 stocks in 25.3 minutes during that span.

His ceiling may be somewhat capped with Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox healthy, but the St. John’s product continues to see steady run and offers a relatively safe floor as a rotational piece in this Spurs offense.

Kobe Brown, PF/C, Indiana Pacers

With Jarace Walker sidelined due to a back injury, Brown has stepped up in a big way. Over his last four games, he’s averaging 14.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.3 stocks, and 1.5 three-pointers while shooting 61.5% from the field in 29.1 minutes per game during that span.

The Pacers don’t have much left to play for, which should translate to extended run for guys like Brown—whether in the starting lineup or off the bench. Expect the 26-year-old to continue seeing meaningful minutes as Indiana evaluates its depth down the stretch.

Week 24 Streaming Priority Rankings

  1. Collin Sexton
  2. Cody Williams (3 games)
  3. Kennedy Chandler (3 games)
  4. Julian Reese*
  5. Dylan Harper
  6. Ousmane Dieng
  7. Will Riley
  8. Sandro Mamukelashvili
  9. Julian Champagnie
  10. Kobe Brown

These rankings prioritize players offering the best combination of weekly game volume, favorable scheduling spots, recent production, and the potential for increased minutes and usage during this final stretch.

*Note: While Julian Reese is technically eligible to play in every remaining game, there’s been no official confirmation that the Wizards plan to use him that way. If he does suit up consistently, this ranking holds—and he could easily outperform it. That said, this is a situation you’ll need to monitor daily, just as mentioned earlier in the article.


Final Thoughts

That’s the blueprint for the final week.

Stay sharp, stay active, and embrace the chaos—because this is where leagues are won. The managers who adapt the fastest, trust the matchups, and maximize every game played are the ones who come out on top.

Don’t get attached to names. Don’t hesitate to make the tough calls. If there’s an edge to be found, you take it—no questions asked.

One last push. One last stretch.

Go finish the job.
