7 Fantasy Basketball Streamers for Week 4

Welcome to Fantasy Basketball Streamers for Week 4!

Week 3 was the Luka Dončić show. The Mavericks superstar put on a masterclass, never falling below 61.3 fantasy points over his last four games, posting totals of 83.0, 79.9, 61.3, and 66.5. That stretch was highlighted by a 53-point explosion on Friday, November 6. “Luka Magic” is easily the top-rated points league player through the early season, averaging an unbelievable 40.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 7.7 assists, and 1.7 steals over his first nine games.

Shortly behind Luka is Victor Wembanyama, who finished as the overall No. 2 fantasy player over the last seven days. They were followed by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, rookie phenom Darius Acuff Jr., Dyson Daniels, Walker Kessler, Tyrese Maxey, Deni Avdija, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jaylen Brown, rounding out the top 10 points league performers in total fantasy production over the past week.

Week 4 Performance and Buy-Low Targets

On the flip side, three prominent players struggled over the past week: Amen Thompson, Brandon Miller, and Desmond Bane.

Thompson bounced back Saturday night after a scary bad three-game stretch that saw him post disappointing fantasy totals of 16.1, 23.1, and 19.1. His strong Saturday performance was a very promising sign. If a fantasy manager in your league is still panicking over that previous three-game dip, throw out an offer to secure the 23-year-old on the cheap.

Next is Brandon Miller, who was wildly disappointing before leaving early on November 6 with a groin injury. The former Alabama product put up just 23.2 fantasy points on November 2, followed by a dismal 13.3 on November 4. If he gets a clean bill of health and is ready to play next game, buy low on the 23-year-old before he takes off again.

Lastly, Desmond Bane averaged just 25.3 fantasy points over the past week before sitting out Saturday’s game against the Warriors due to an illness. Bane’s market value is at an all-time low, so feel free to package a hot streamer or a low-end bench player to acquire him. He is far too talented to stay at this baseline moving forward.

Week 4 Fantasy Basketball Streamers

Nolan Traoré – PG, Brooklyn Nets

Traoré is a repeat feature on this list after making me look smart last week, stringing together fantasy totals of 29.4, 30.6, 31.8, and 37.2 over his last four games. The Frenchman has started every game since Egor Demin went down with an injury, and this is officially your last call to grab him off waivers. With how hot he is playing, there is a legitimate chance he sticks in the starting lineup long-term. He has scored in double figures in four straight games and six of his last seven. He is on fire and shouldn’t be sitting on any waiver wire right now.

Ja’Kobe Walter – SG, Toronto Raptors

Walter serves as a safe floor streamer for as long as Kawhi Leonard (knee) remains out. While his baseline numbers won’t completely blow you away—posting fantasy totals of 23.8, 26.7, 10.2, and 22.2 over his last four—he consistently sits right in that 20 to 25 fantasy point range. His value stems from guaranteed playing time, logging between 27 and 35 minutes over his last five games. If you need a reliable, high-floor option at the end of your bench, Walter fits the bill.

Kingston Flemings – PG, Houston Rockets

Flemings has stepped into the starting lineup for three straight games and appears to have locked down the permanent gig. Over that stretch, he has scored in double digits in each game, turning in steady fantasy outputs of 21.6, 19.2, and 18.9 points. He is seeing consistent run (23, 25, and 26 minutes), giving him a solid floor with massive upside. We already saw his high ceiling in late October when he erupted for performances of 40.5 and 32.4 fantasy points.

Karlo Matković – C, New Orleans Pelicans

Matković has started five consecutive games in place of the injured Yves Missi (knee). Over those five starts, the 25-year-old big man is averaging 13.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 three-pointers, 1.2 assists, and 2.0 stocks (steals + blocks) in 22.8 minutes per game while shooting an efficient 62.5% from the floor. He isn’t a long-term must-add, but he serves as a very reliable, floor-based stream while Missi is sidelined.

Brayden Burries – SG, Milwaukee Bucks

Burries is finding his rhythm in the starting lineup. Friday’s matchup against the Raptors was his coming-out party, as he posted 21 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, and 1 block across 38 minutes. It marked the rookie’s first career double-double, setting career highs in points, rebounds, and assists. Since joining the starting unit, he is averaging 13.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. The Bucks invested the 10th overall pick on the 21-year-old, so expect Milwaukee to feed him heavy minutes as they prioritize his development.

Jaxson Hayes – C, Utah Jazz

Hayes might not be the flashiest name on your waiver wire, but he is one of the most reliable. Over his past five outings, he has logged fantasy point totals of 28.2, 24.4, 23.0, 10.9, and 24.7. Throw out the 10.9 clunker on November 4, and you’re left with a steady 23 to 28 fantasy point floor. That production is pure gold at the back end of your roster, and given his low rostered percentage, you can do much worse than the Texas product.

Max Strus – SG/SF, Los Angeles Clippers

Strus has looked sharp since returning from a foot injury on November 2. He logged 26.8 fantasy points in his season debut and followed it up with 24.5 fantasy points, playing 23 minutes in both contests. Overall, he is averaging 10.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.0 steal in 23.2 minutes per game. With the Clippers currently shorthanded and desperate for offensive creation, expect the 30-year-old veteran to command heavy minutes in the second unit with a real path to entering the starting lineup soon.

On the Radar (Watchlist Targets)

This is a new section highlighting players I am actively monitoring. If any of these guys string together two or three solid games, I am pouncing immediately. Whether they are high draft picks showing signs of life, bench pieces getting a surprise start, or raw talents primed for a usage bump, keep these names at the top of your watchlist:

• Morez Johnson Jr. – C, Dallas Mavericks

• Meleek Thomas – SG, Cleveland Cavaliers

• Danny Wolf – PF/C, Brooklyn Nets

Final Thoughts

That’s the blueprint for Week 4. Don’t overreact to early-season variance—stay balanced, stick to your strategy, and prioritize maximizing total games on your weekly schedule. The fantasy managers who remain active on the waiver wire, take quick advantage of injury-opened roles, and optimize their weekly volume are the ones who position themselves for long-term championship contention.
