November 10 Fantasy Basketball Streamers: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Payton Pritchard, Davion Mitchell and More
Five NBA teams with good matchups on Sunday and the rotation players on those teams who are widely available in fantasy leagues.
It’s Sunday: The NFL dominates the day, but the NBA season doesn’t stop for anyone. Fantasy basketball is the same, requiring you to set a lineup even though you’re probably spending more time on fantasy football.
Let’s look at five teams with good matchups on Sunday and the rotation player on those teams who are widely available in fantasy leagues. I try not to list injured players, but always check actives/inactives before game time to ensure everyone in your lineup is playing. Stats are from NBA.com.
Toronto Raptors @Los Angeles Lakers
We’ll start with a game in which we can target both teams with fantasy streamers. Toronto has the second-worst defense while playing at the seventh-fastest pace; the Lakers are 10th fastest and have the fourth-worst defensive rating.
Toronto’s Streaming Players
Guard
- Gradey Dick – Dick is owned in about half of leagues. He’s a recent lottery pick with plenty of upside, especially while Scottie Barnes is out; someone has to handle and shoot the ball.
- Ochai Agbaji
- Davion Mitchell
Forward
Center
- None
Los Angeles’ Streaming Players
Guard
Forward
- Rui Hachimura – Hachimura is another guy owned in about half of leagues who might be available.
- Cam Reddish
- Dalton Knecht
Center
Boston Celtics @ Milwaukee Bucks
Milwaukee has played at the 12th-fastest pace and has the ninth-worst defensive rating. They just miss the top-10 pace/bottom-10 defense group, but it’s close enough that we can target them in fantasy.

Guard
Forward
Center
- Al Horford
- Luke Kornet – Kornet missed the team’s previous game, so double-check his status before putting him in your lineup.
- Neemias Queta – Queta will get more minutes if Kornet misses the game.
New York Knicks @ Indiana Pacers
The Pacers are in the middle in pace, ranking 15th, but they have the eighth-worst defense. Their pace is only 0.65 possessions below the top 10, so again, it’s close enough to target them today.
New York’s Streaming Players
Guard
- Miles McBride
- Cameron Payne – Payne has missed a few games with injury but could return any time; check his status before putting him in your lineup.
- Tyler Kolek – If Payne doesn’t play, Kolek will likely get his minutes.
Forward
- None
Center
Orlando Magic vs. Washington Wizards
The Wizards are one of our favorite targets: They play at the second-fastest pace and have the third-worst defense. Target them every day with every team.
