November 11 Fantasy Basketball Streamers: Ziaire Williams, Isaac Okoro, Tari Eason and More
Three NBA teams with good matchups on Monday and their players who are widely available in fantasy leagues.
Happy Veteran’s Day to everyone, especially if you have the day off work! This day gets lost in the run up to Thanksgiving, which leads into the holiday season. I find it important to remember those who served, though, because no matter your opinion any war, those men and women are putting their lives on the line so we can sit around and complain about the trivial things that occupy our simple lives.
With the NBA working on the holiday, let’s look at three teams with good matchups on Monday and the rotation players on those teams who are widely available in fantasy leagues. I try not to list injured players, but always check actives/inactives to ensure everyone in your lineup is playing. Stats are from NBA.com.
Brooklyn Nets @ New Orleans Pelicans
New Orleans isn’t a team we would usually target because they rank just 24th in pace, but they have the worst defensive rating in the league. On a light day, we’ll go after the Pelicans’ sieve-like defense.
Brooklyn’s Streaming Players
Guard
- Ben Simmons – Simmons didn’t play in the last game, so double-check his status before putting him in your lineup.
Forward
Center
- None
Cleveland Cavaliers @ Chicago Bulls
The Bulls were always enticing because they’ve played at the fastest pace in the league most of the season. Their defensive rating has bounced around a little bit, and they currently have the 12th-worst mark. Chicago is turning into a daily target.

Houston Rockets vs. Washington Wizards
The Wizards are the only team today that ranks in the top 10 in pace and bottom 10 in defensive rating: They are fourth fastest and second worst, respectively. Washington will be listed here often.
