Fantasy Basketball Weekly Projections: A Waiver Wire Add at Every Position

A new week is here, so it's time to go over the fantasy basketball weekly projections at FantasySP and identify a waiver wire/streaming option at every position.

Also be sure to check out Monday's streaming article. Check back later for a more traditional waiver wire story.

Check out weekly fantasy basketball projections on FantasySP all season! Daily fantasy projections are also available!

Point Guard - Scoot Henderson

Henderson is owned in about 29% of fantasy leagues right now. He's projected for 24.4 fantasy points over three games this coming week.

Henderson is coming off a 28-point showing, while also adding in six assists, three rebounds and one steal and block over 26 minutes off the bench. It was his first time in double figures in three games.

Henderson could take on a bit more down the stretch with Shaedon Sharpe out of the picture now. Henderson has averaged 12.9 points, 4.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 0.4 steals and 0.3 blocks over 23.2 minutes a game in his 13 appearances this season.

Henderson is trending up after his huge showing in the last game. He's a good deep-league pickup/streamer, and could work into standard leagues in a hurry if that performance was the start of a hot streak for him.

Shooting Guard - Malik Monk

Monk is rostered in 35% of leagues right now. He's projected for 23.5 fantasy points over four contests.

Monk has scored in double figures in four straight games, including a 30-point outburst in his last appearance. He has 71 points, 16 assists, nine rebounds and one block over that span.

Monk is capable of doing more, especially with Zach LaVine, Domantas Sabonis and De'Andre Hunter out for the rest of the season. Dylan Cardwell and Keegan Murray have also been out of late, and DeMar DeRozan also missed the last game with an illness.

Monk can be a good deep-league fantasy asset with all those injuries/absences, and if DeRozan is out for the team's next game, Monk could be worth streaming in some standard leagues, especially coming off that monster 30-point showing.

Small Forward - Julian Champagnie

Champagnie is projected for 18.4 fantasy points over three games this week. He is currently owned in 52% of fantasy leagues.

He also has scored in double figures in four straight, tallying between 10-20 points in those games. Champagnie has combined for 57 points, 28 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and a block in that span.

He's another good deep-league fantasy asset, but right now, he could be streamed in some standard leagues. Champagnie is obviously adding enough as a scorer and rebounder to warrant that, and anything else he does is gravy.

Harrison Barnes is among the Spurs out of late, which has helped Champagnie pick up a bit more. Watch Barnes' status, and keep utilizing Champagnie until his role/production falls off.

Power Forward - Draymond Green

Green has four games this coming week, and is projected for 25.9 fantasy points in those contests. He's owned in 61% of leagues right now.

He has stuffed the stat sheet pretty well of late, with Stephen Curry's absence helping his cause. Green has combined for 26 points, nine rebounds, 13 assists and three steals over the past two games. Over his past eight contests, Green has averaged 9.9 points, 5.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.3 blocks over 28.5 minutes a contest.

Green has been a bit overrated most of the season - averaging 8.6 points, 5.6 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks over 27 minutes a game for the season just isn't worth close to 100% fantasy ownership. He is doing more of late though, and it makes him a better standard league asset.

Don't be afraid to add/stream Green for the time being. When Curry is back, Green's scoring is likely to decrease, but he can still fill out the stat sheet and deliver good fantasy marks, so take advantage of that. 

Center - Daniel Gafford 

Gafford is projected for 22.6 fantasy points over four contests. He's rostered in 49% of leagues.

He has scored in double figures in three straight games. Gafford is coming off a game in which he delivered 21 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal. He has averaged 11.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 steals over 21.9 minutes over his past eight appearances.

Gafford has stretches where he's a decent fantasy asset, and this is one of them. He's a good deep-league pickup, and I'd also consider streaming him in standard leagues until his numbers drop.

Dallas is without Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively II, but those are season-long injuries and they haven't played of late/or most of the season, so Gafford could keep delivering. Definitely look a bit into Gafford, because he's a bit underappreciated right now.
