Welcome to the Fantasy Basketball Schedule Preview for February 26 through January 3. We are officially in the playoffs! If you were successful enough to earn a bye this week, go ahead and prep your schedule and potential matchups for next week. Getting ahead of potential streams will reduce competition for highly coveted streamers and help increase your game advantage for the week.
If you are playing this week, it is now or never. There is no sense in holding on to players who cannot provide you value, so stream appropriately and gain advantages where you can. For this week, three teams give you streaming options; check them out below, and good luck!

Fantasy Basketball Streamers
This week’s schedule is slightly different than usual – fewer games on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. For streaming purposes, it’s best to target the Memphis Grizzlies, who play four games and one on each of the low nights. For the back end of the week, the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers offer great options for streaming and play on Wednesday and Saturday.
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES (MON/WED/FRI/SAT)
- Santi Aldama (PF/C): Aldama has not been consistent but can still provide valuable statistics. Expect modest production in points, rebounds, and assists from the forward or center position.
- John Konchar (SG/SF): Konchar can be helpful for deeper leagues and provide production, especially steals. Make sure he is healthy before you add.
- G.G. Jackson (PF): Jackson could take over a primary role down the stretch, making him an excellent stream this week and beyond. Jackson has upside in points, threes, and rebounds.
- Ziaire Williams (SG): Williams has been excellent in nearly 30 minutes per game since an eight-game break. Williams can score, hit threes, and provide upside in steals, making him a helpful stream this week.
DENVER NUGGETS (WED/THURS/SAT)
- Peyton Watson (SF): Watson is in a low-minute role and acts as a defensive streamer, which is helpful if you need to turn steals or blocks.
- Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (SG/SF): KCP will soak up minutes, which always provides an opportunity for a big game, but he typically is a low-key role player for the Nuggets. He can be helpful in threes for deep leagues and chip in points and assists.
LOS ANGELES LAKERS (WED/THURS/SAT)
- Rui Hachimura (SF/PF): Hachimura is an excellent point streamer. He adds threes and rebounds as well.
- Taurean Prince (SF): Lebron’s backup, Prince, is valuable as a threes streamer who can have the occasional big game—deep league play.
- Spencer Dinwiddie (PG/SG): Dinwiddie should be a great point, three, and assist streamer in the Laker’s backcourt. Recently, he has been terrible, so deploy at your own risk.
