Here is a look at how fantasy managers can use the schedule to maximize their games played in head-to-head leagues during week 21.
Everybody should be in playoff-mode as we enter week 21, and it's more important than ever to maximize your games played. Today we'll run through how to do that. As always, keep an eye on our Advanced NBA Schedule Grid to see which days teams are playing, and if you want to run a little deeper, here are our suggestions for players rostered in 30% or less of Yahoo leagues.
Weekly lock leagues
Tips for the week: Six teams (Celtics, Nets, Hornets, Bulls, Nuggets, and Jazz) play four times in Week 21. Six other squads (Pistons, Pacers, Sixers, Suns, Kings, and Raptors) have just two games. The other 18 teams play three times.
Managers should avoid anyone playing two games that ranks outside the top 50. Instead, stream in someone with four tilts.
Here is a look at the top six streaming options that play four times in Week 21 and are rostered in fewer than 50 percent of Yahoo Leagues.
- PJ Washington, Charlotte Hornets, SF/PF (48%): Washington is a strong across the board contributor. He is averaging 12.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.9 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 1.5 3-pointers made per game on the season.
- Jordan Clarkson, Utah Jazz, PG/SG (46%): Clarkson is averaging 15.2 points and 2.1 3-pointers made per game on the season.
- Taurean Prince, Brooklyn Nets, SF/PF (39%): Over his last 20 games, Prince is averaging 12.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.8 steals, and 2.2 3-pointers made per. Expect similar production down the stretch.
- Gary Harris, Denver Nuggets, SG/SF (47%): Harris is a steals streamer (1.4 per game) that produces enough stats in other categories that they add up to help you keep pace.
- Cody Zeller, Charlotte Hornets, PF/C (39%): Zeller is averaging 7.0 rebounds per game with 11.0 points on 52.1 percent from the field. He could swing a couple of categories in your favor.
- Jerami Grant, Denver Nuggets, SF/PF (36%): Steals, blocks, and threes add.
