Sunday Fantasy Basketball Streaming Guide For The Waiver Wire

Let's take a look at Sunday. There are nine games on in the NBA. Who are the stream options

to hopefully win our fantasy basketball week, Michael Bolton?

Thanks, Josh. It's Michael Bolton here, and it's time for another episode of the Lockdown

Fantasy Basketball Podcast. Let's get to it.

Let's get to it. In day.

You are Lockdown Fantasy, your daily NBA fantasy podcast. Part of the Lockdown Podcast

network, your team, every day.

Hello, and welcome to the Lockdown Fantasy Basketball Podcast, brought to you by basketball

monster. My name is Josh Floyd. My nickname is also Josh Floyd. We're here to talk about

the games on Sunday. There are nine of those games on, and we're going to dig into them.

We're going to talk about who's in and out the injury reports, the streaming options,

points leagues, category leagues. Shall we dig in probably? There are nine games. It's

a relatively busy Sunday in the NBA, and of course, there's going to be a lot of uncertainty.

There is more uncertainty at this time of the year than there is at the same time last

week, and hence why I believe that fantasy leagues should have ended on what the 23rd of March

or whatever it was, at least a week ago. People will still just play in this semifinals

now, because you're going to see a lot more stuff with, yes, you have tanking stuff that

happens and random sits, but what you start to get at this point of the year is good teams

and better teams start to sit more guys as well. So you've got teams that sit in a spot

where they go, well, two games ahead and two games behind. I can't really move my guys

a little banged up. So we'll see these sort of teams start to create more of those issues

and foots off the gas more in other games. It becomes worse in terms of reliability. As

you get, because it makes sense, as you get closer than the regular season where the

games don't matter as much for most teams, you see that stuff change. That is just the

nature of how anything works common sense wise. Nine games. First game is a 330 PM Eastern

start. It is the Clippers and the Bucks. The next game is a 5 PM Eastern start, the Heat

and the Paces. Then we go into a 6 PM Eastern game, or a lot of them actually, Washington

of Portland, Boston of Charlotte, Sacramento of Brooklyn, Yuck, Orlando at Toronto. Then

we have the 7 PM game, which is the Rockets and the Pelicans. We have the 730 PM game,

which is the Nix and the Thunder. And finally, we have the 7 PM Pacific game, which is actually

a 6 PM mountain time. Is it a 6 mountain? Yeah, 6 mountain. 6 mountain. And that is Golden

State at Denver. I find it always interesting that in the NBA on Sundays, like the standard

start time is 7 PM, nearly every day. But on Sundays, the standard time for starting

in Newlywesse means to be 6 PM, for whatever reason, not sure. Sure, someone will give

me some great reason for it. It's cause of your Monday start of the week. Big calendars

got you by the way. But that doesn't make sense considering the, you know, I suppose

it sort of does because you don't have work on Sunday and you come and you can get to

the game earlier and you get to bed a little bit earlier to wake up from Monday, but the

game is during the week. You've got to be at work and get, you know, 6 PM starts are a

general standard. It seems on Sundays. Let's talk about the games. The first one, the

Clippers and the Bucks, bro. The Bucks are just absolutely horrible at the moment. I

don't know if the people are going to say they're just tanking. They're just actually

terrible. Like, yes, sure, they could bring Janus back. But that's like, that is not,

also Janus not actually cleared to play. That's not tanking. He's been injured multiple times

with multiple injuries to his lower body. They're eliminated from the playoffs. They can't

make it. Kevin Porter, Jr. is now ruled out for the season. They're not tanking. They're

just doc rivers team. And you could say they're the same things by hiring doc rivers, but they're

just terrible. And they got cooked every game. Injury wise, Janus is out. What we don't know

is whether Kyle Kuzma or Bobby Portis or Gary Harris plays because they both are out on Saturday.

They're all out on Saturday. And that obviously changes a lot in terms of how the rotation runs.

For the Clippers, Isaiah Jackson heard himself for the end of last game. He is questionable here.

He's been playing really well. But if he misses, it means Brook Lopez is going to have to do a lot

and play probably 33-34 minutes, which will be obviously beneficial for him. Heat and the

Pacers, I don't really know what Indiana was doing last game. Jalen Slawson's been really good

as a win. He's got these limits on his two-way games. And last game, they're premium for four

minutes, burning one of those games. Now, he is officially listed doubtful for this game.

So after this, it is full steam ahead for Slawson in terms of playing the rest of the season.

And you're starting to see it here. Yeah, Miami's not a particularly bad team. That's a super

good team. But Teeja McConnell, Andrew Nampard, Aaron Neesmith, Pascal Siakum, Obi-Toppen,

the National Tile Jarrah Swalker. Hello! All questionable.

Indiana has tanked a lot this season. Obviously, not as bad as what it's

made out to be. But I think we're going to see some real nonsense going on here.

I wouldn't preemptively drop Siakum on Nampard. But I do think that, again, listing them all

questionable here is a pretty decent indicator, I believe, that we're going to get a lot of this

on the weeks moving forward. For the heat, Stormin Norman Powell is, he's popped up as questionable

as well with a, what is it? Back spasms issue. Andy Wiggins is available. He's been dealing with

that toe problem. They've got a back to back. So watching him sit the second one of that is

probably the most likely situation there. The next game we look at Wizards and Trailblazers.

Jeremy Grant said that they said there was a pop in the car. If you haven't heard a diagnosis,

I am going to be stunned on a sea of grante plays in the regular season.

Therefore, avoiding April again. I don't take his playing. I don't think Vick Creech is coming

back and then Rob Williams left the last game with a back issue. So I'd be a little surprised

if Robbie Williams played in this one as well. For the Wizards, Dick Johnson III and Alex Sassat

the last game, I think they played, but I'm also not sure. Paul and his fine. They're pretty good.

They're not awesome. The Wizards sometimes can sort of shock some of these teams. So just watch

that. Interest of Vick Creech is dealing with some injuries. Their rotation, probably the least

predictable one out there. I don't know what's going to happen at any point in any game. It's all

over the shop. It's the least predictable rotation in the NBA. The Wizards. And that is why it's

probably just best to avoid them most of the time. Celtics and Hornets and Boston, again, is just

listing Jalen Brown, Jason Tatum, Maximum Derek White and the Pastel Denath and Ameish Cater

as questionable. This is the first of a back-to-back for Boston. So Tatum is sitting one of these

games, whether it's this one or not. I don't know, but they are all questionable here. And for the

Hornets Grant Williams is playing on Saturday. So I expect that he sits on Sunday and the same goes

with Kobe White, who is playing on Saturday, therefore, I think that he sits on Sunday.

Kings and Nets. This is going to be pretty ugly. We don't have official ninja reports here,

but I will note that Josh Minot has popped up as questionable. We saw last time they played a

bad team that for some reason they just decided that Minot was too good to play in that game.

I would be very shocked if Minot plays here, honestly. At least they're giving us advanced

notice that it's questionable. Because last time they just de-impeded him, I think that Minot

will not play here. Danny Wolf will be out, and I'd be just waiting for some other nonsense with

other guys. They might be the second most unpredictable rotation. The Kings, they're on a back-to-back

and Nick Clifford returned on Saturday. So do Killian Hayes. Kig and Murray will be out, but I

think there was a chance that Clifford and Hayes both do play on Sunday. I also think that

Demada Rosen does not play on Sunday. Against the Nets, maybe hopefully they've learned the

lesson that they probably need to lose it, whether they do that or not, whether they sit the guys

that they probably need to. I'm not really sure, but this is the, these are the games where you've

got to do it. Yeah, these are the games where they've got to do it. They've got to make sense of it.

Next game is the Orlando Magic and the Toronto Raptors, still no Franz Wagner, still no Mr.

who's out again, very hard to suggest holding onto these guys. Man, you'll quickly

is going to be out again for the Raptors. Well, they've also just chucked Brandon Ingram

on the injury port and then both Colin Murray Boyles and Trace Jackson Davis. The hyphenated

centres are both questionable after missing or leaving the last game early. If Ingram is out,

it's a lot more for Jacobi Walter to do. With Crickly out, it's more for Jamal Shed to do.

And if Murray Boyles and Jackson Davis are out, it's a lot more for Marmu and Jakob Pertle to do

in that particular spot. The next game is the New Orleans Palakins and the Houston Rockets,

and this is a little worrying. I already talked on my week 23 preview show about the

Palakins having a terrible schedule and both Kenneth Murphy III and DeGente Murray are questionable

for Sunday's game. This is not a back-to-back for DeGente. I'll have made a big point of saying

how DeGente has actually not been a good pick-up because he's got to end up playing nine games

over four weeks. He might play eight games over four weeks, eight games over four weeks, two

games a week, and then that are off Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. That is a bad spot, and then he'll

play two games next week. There's a part of that as well, because they've got a Thursday,

Friday, back-to-back. If we get an Ingram that DeGente Murray is out here, that's a drop man,

that's four days with no games. And honestly, you're probably considered

tray Murphy because what if he comes back and then only plays two games anyway with the back-to-back?

That's terrible for the value of both of those guys. This is not a back-to-back for DeGente.

Trey's already missed a couple in a row. I would be very concerned there.

The Nixon the Thunder. Land of Shamit remains out. We did get some other updates here, though.

Isaiah Hart and Stein, Chet Holmgren, and the Bronco Jalen Williams are all available.

Now this is the first of a back-to-back for the Thunder. So does Jalen Williams and Hart and Stein

just sit on Monday? Probably. We'll chat sit one of them. I'm not sure. But at the moment,

if that does happen and Chet sits, that means Pig Williams gets a big run on Monday.

And then the problem is, though, is that after Monday, the Thunder played one game in five nights.

So you could stream them for Monday and hold on this back-to-back, and then you cut them after that.

Just with Brian, he's returning. We'll get him close anyway. He's listed

questionable. We're not really rostring him, but he'll be at least in the stream discussion portion

of the shows. And then the Warriors and the Nuggets is the final game. No staff, no profit.

The Wavepool de-empted amount will be back. We'll reach it. I'm not sure he'll be questionable

and then Quinton Post has been missing quite a bit of time, actually. It doesn't really matter

a ton. The Nuggets obviously play Sunday. And then you can jettison a lot of them because they play

two games. One game in the first five days of the week. So you're holding onto your kitchen

Murray, and then you're dropping the other dudes after that. It is tax time. But for a lot of us,

the old way of doing taxes is a lot. You're trying to book an appointment, but that's not the

most convenient. You're sitting in a waiting room with a stack of papers, you're emailing back

and forth, and wondering if they really get your situation. But this year, you're getting a

major upgrade into a TurboTax now has in-person locations nationwide. You can meet face-to-face

with a real tax expert, and your documents get uploaded straight to your TurboTax app on the spot.

And just like that, you're done. Your TurboTax expert works to get you every dollar you deserve,

or you get real-time notifications as you go about your day. It's the relief of walking in and

meeting a real person and walking out, knowing that your taxes are being handled right.

Head to TurboTax.com, search local to find a store near you, and book your appointment.

Join up. See how it goes. Go. All right. We're looking ahead now to streaming. We're just going to

dig straight into streaming stuff here for, what is it? The Sunday game with nine games on,

really starts as usual. Remember, we'll start with some Yahoo Points streaming guys with 10 names

to go through there. I am again, reluctantly going to look at some kings, guys.

Devin Carter and Malik Muck, but I don't know. I don't know, because I don't know whether they're

going to sit them. It's possible against the nets that Malik doesn't play or Carter has an

ankle problem, or Demar is in or out. I don't know. But they do profile pretty well with Westbook

done. Gas Payton. I think he's a pretty strong option for Yahoo Points leagues. His role is up,

Steph remains out, Moody is out. Got scoot handers in there, because I think he's going to get

more usage with Jeremy Grant, not available. And my likelihood there is that Rob Williams also

probably out, which pushes a little bit more into Don Klingon, which sort of moves everyone around

the position of Spectrum somewhere. And lastly, it's the Anthony Melton, the wayful. He's a much

better category player than Pointslee player. He did get back on track in the last game. We like

the value here, but he's still considerably under-rusted. So, available on a lot of different leagues

and their five names that I do like for Yahoo Points, like a five more. I'm going to give you

which go into some deeper formats. And I think Luzman Zheng probably should just be rusted in general.

We know that now Kevin Porter's out for the year. He got a Vakuzan reporter sort of back and

forward stuff. And Zheng's going to get lots of opportunities. So we do like him there.

Me putting Leaky Black on this list is obviously fraught with danger. I have no idea

where the Leaky Black is going to play. I don't know what the Wizards are going to do with their

rotation, but again, they are playing Paul and I would say that they could be a little bit concerned

about that. I don't know how they run things. I don't, they're both Leaky Black and Duju Rees have

seven games remaining on their contracts and the team has nine games left for the season. So,

they're not going to play every game. Black played 42 minutes and 40 minutes the last two games.

He could easily get damnied easily, but I think that he probably gets a start here.

But man, I don't know. Palo Larson, Carlo Macdabitch is a more double onic sort of a play.

And then there's Dylan Cardwell, who also coming off an ankle injury, he might sit on the second

night of a back-to-back. I don't know. They haven't given us any real word or notification on that.

He's playing on Saturday. I think he plays Sunday, but I don't know. So it's risky. It's very risky.

ESPN points. We go to Devin Carter, who I do think has a chance to some really good numbers

end of season here. Guy Santos, El Helper. Still no one's grabbing him on ESPN. Shout out to ESPN,

who still has not made Bezm Bing available, who's averaging 32 minutes a night playing over eight games

now. You guys do well. Gas Payton, Erb Jones, Wendell Carter, Jr., who's been really

lowly rusted on ESPN all season. And well, I don't love him as a must-rust a guy. He's always

been a very key stream target for us. Us. We're all working together. ESPN points again,

Uzman Jiang, De Anthony Melton, Sterling Henderson, Malik Leaky Black, and the Plough King,

Daekwon Ploughton. Better than the Mr. Plough. He's the Plough King. He's not a loser like that.

Daekwon has been getting a lot of shots up if Demada Rosen is out as I think he will be.

I think that Daekwon has got a pretty sizable opportunity there. Let's go to category

league streaming. It's always risky when I do this list and then a bunch of Wizards pop up,

like Will Riley. But somehow he's been getting 29 to 30 minutes every night. And he doesn't do anything

else, apart from score. At some point, Dick Johnson III, Trey Johnson, will have a game that is good.

I don't know when it'll happen, but at some time he will. He's still only playing those 22,

23 minutes, but there'll be a point where he has 18 points in six threes and does it in 22.

Surely. Tim Hardaway, am I going to get one point? Am I going to get 20 points? I don't know.

Jaden Hardy has been playing pretty well as well. He is a big like just points sort of a guy

for Washington. And the last one there is Jacobi Walton who could very easily jump higher on this

list, if Brandon, Ingraham is silent, which I think is a decent chance that when you get a random

pop up like that for Ingraham on the injury port that maybe he does not play. For threes,

Hardaway can easily hit seven of them. He could just miss all seven of his shots there.

Sam Houser, the only Boston starter who's not listed questionable. And does he have huge usage

ramp up ability? Not particularly. But you're eating a lot of shots from Peyton Pritchard,

beginning more from Houser. You're beginning more minutes from Oonsar. You'll be getting some

look at Gaza. You'll be getting Jordy Walsh. You'll be getting some Ron Harper Jr.

So Houser seems the best option out of all those guys. Carlton Carrington has been honestly

putrid all season, but he gets a solid enough role and he can hit two or three of them here.

Jaden Hardy is not doing anything else. And then trade Johnson as well. But it's still it. It's a

lot of wizards. It's a lot of wizards. Assists. David Mitchell, just the king of the assist stream.

He really only has persistent hold value for very specific category league builds.

But he gets assists. Jamal shed with quickly out. Bob Carrington's a six seven assist guy.

Killian Hayes can get your five or six as well. And the last one there is Nolan Treore.

You can throw Ben Sarov in there. But honestly, who knows? Treore could play 30. He could play

16 minutes. Sarov might rest. I don't know. They and the wizards are all over the shop

in terms of who plays on what's specific night for steals. The paint and the tea stable.

Don't expect anything else. But three or four steals absolutely apply. Dominique Clifford.

Nick, he's back. Will he play? I don't know. I think so. But I don't know. Jimmy Watkins. Yeah,

this feels anecdotal and it probably is. But it feels like there's just a lot of times

where Jimmy Watkins just gets three steals. I'm going to look it up. Maybe I'm just talking

and completing nonsense here. It's going to be his game look. Jimmy Watkins, no steals last game,

or he is why I think that. No steals in the last game. Terrible. Played six minutes.

Here is the games after that. It was before that. Three steals, three steals, two steals,

three steals, two steals, three steals, three steals, two steals, two steals, one steal.

Will he play 16 minutes? It's a lot of three steal games.

But of course he played six minutes last game. So who knows? The rabbit hunter Alex Karusso

probably chances of a lower minutes on a back-to-back and then Gary Trent the third Jacobi Walter.

He's a steals guy. He's a three's guy. So there you go. And then three throw percentage.

Zoe Williams, also a pretty good steals guy, can always get randomly minutes dropped.

Trey Johnson, Isaiah Joe, Michael Potter. And Jared McCain, who there is also risk of Joe

and McCain playing like seven minutes. But in his 12 minutes or so he might get you a two or two

or three or three from the line. And that obviously is relatively workable.

You waited for it. It's the five hour energy flavor draft. You're here. I'm there with 18

different flavors. I'm there with my team. We've got our whole war room assembled. What are we

going to do with the number one pick? It's a tough question. I've been tasked with this responsibility

so many times. I'm old hat at it now. Having that number one pick, I know that five hour energy

shots are going to give a boost to my energy without any sugar. I know that. There are so many

new flavors of the older liables as well. But for some reason they need to change these NIL rules.

Why these flavors are enabled to re-enter the draft? Like what's going on with Cherry? Bro,

you've been around forever. Who are you James Najee of five hour energy flavors? Why are you

available for this draft? Have you saw a pic, Cherry, with its classic red fruit profile and bright

punchy taste? But that's really not what the draft is about, is it? What I like is strawberry banana.

It's a tropical delight with strawberry, a taste that goes in everything from smoothies and milkshakes

to cakes and now five hour energy shots. It's smooth, it's creamy, it's reminiscent of a fruit

smoothie. That's exactly what I'm looking for with the number one pick in the five hour energy

flavor draft. So find your new favorite flavor of five hour energy shots available online at fivehour

energy dot com or on Amazon. Workplace chaos. Deadlines are stacking up the inboxes over

Let us dig back in to some more streaming. We just did the free throw percentage. So now we're

going to look at streaming for big men categories rebound blocks and field goal percentage for rebounds

Mitch Robinson the king of the defensive stream or the king of the big man stream. Jericho Sims

a couple of these names are incredibly risky. Leaky black, Carlo McAvitch and Cheney Johnson

put as little faith in that as you can but they are some real double on issues that are going

to be available to a lot of different spots hands up if you know who Cheney Johnson plays for.

I know most of your legends and you'll know this but do you all do you all know who he plays for

maybe also again new goat name just dropped in Memphis

a dumber ball. Hopefully we get some value out of him at some point. The

blocks category Dylan Cardwell, Carlo McAvitch, Leaky black, the big sealant Ryan Colt Browne

and the dart Goga Badadze and lastly we're going to do field goal percentage we'll go to Colt

Browne Dylan Cardwell, Jericho Sims, Goga Badadze and then if he actually gets into the game

Clint Cappella it's a pretty rough day for streaming honestly but hopefully you're able to get

the right guys in to get you the match up win that you need. I did a week 23 preview for those

of you still going go and look at that it's a very weird week it's a very tough week to stream

in accurately and it's going to depend a lot on what initial sort of roster you're starting with.

Guys we are done here thank you so much for listening everyone, say out.
