Welcome to the Fantasy Basketball Schedule Preview for January 22 through 28. The NBA trade season is officially warming up! Last week’s big move was Pascal Siakim heading to the Pacers for Bruce Brown and picks. This move followed the Knicks-Raptors trade featuring O.G. Anunoby. The NBA trade season is sure to shake up your roster. Keep in mind this can be a positive or negative. Monitor your roster and ensure you get value for any player traded into a lesser role.

Fantasy Basketball Streamers
This week’s schedule is consistent, with low nights on Tuesday (five games) and Sunday (5 games). There are three teams to stream this week: the Thunder, the Trailblazers, and the Pacers. Each team plays four times this week, with games on Tuesday and Sunday.
OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER (TUE/WED/FRI/SUN)
- Luguentz Dort (SG/SF): Great schedule this week with some production upside. While not consistent, Dort can score, hit threes, and grab rebounds with a solid defensive skill set.
- Isiah Joe (SG): Threes streamer but offers little else. His minutes have been short recently, so only deploy him if in very deep leagues.
PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS (TUE/WED/FRI/SUN)
- Jabari Walker (PF): Walker is in a big minute role for the Trailblazers. While inconsistent, he will have plenty of opportunity to put up stats in points, rebounds, and threes.
- Matisse Thybulle (SG/SF): We all know Thybulle. Defensive specialist and can add threes.
- Malcolm Brogdon (PG/SG): Injuries in the backcourt mean big minutes for Brogdon. If he is still on your waivers, pick him up until they are healthy. Brogdon contributes in points, threes, rebounds, and assists, with a few steals.
INDIANA PACERS (TUE/THUR/FRI/SUN)
- Bennedict Mathurin (SG/SF): Inconsistent, but Mathurin can put up big lines as a streamer. Mathurin is a pure scorer but adds little else.
