Fantasy Basketball Weekly Projections: Best Adds at Every Position

A new week has arrived, so let's kick it off by going over some weekly fantasy basketball projections and waiver wire/streaming options. I'll pick out an option at each position that I like for several reasons.

While we are going over things for the week ahead, we also have Monday streaming options for you if you are just looking to win the day.

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

Point Guard - Scoot Henderson

Henderson is projected for 24.5 fantasy points this week. He has four games scheduled and is owned in about 52% of fantasy leagues right now.

I like Henderson as he's been trending up of late. He has scored in double figures in four straight, tallying 28, 17, 25 and 11 points. He has combined for 12 rebounds, 12 assists, three steals and three blocks over that stretch.

He's played in just 16 games this season, averaging 13.8 points, 4 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.4 steals and blocks over 23.4 minutes a night. It's possible he's doing more of late because he's settling in a bit.

It also helps his cause that Shaedon Sharpe has been out of late with an injury. Sharpe won't be returning anytime soon, so Henderson is capable of keeping things rolling. I like what Henderson has done of late, and would be happy to add him for the upcoming week in deeper leagues and some standard ones.

Shooting Guard - Max Strus

Strus is projected for 26 fantasy points. He is owned in just 7% of leagues and has three games for the coming week.

He's missed the entire season up until the Cavaliers' last game. In 23 minutes off the bench, Strus produced 24 points, eight rebounds and one assist.

Don't be expecting those kinds of results every night, but Strus can deliver enough to be a fantasy asset in a bunch of leagues. He's barely owned because he's barely played, so take advantage of that and scoop Strus up for free today.

Cleveland's injury report is pretty full, so don't be afraid to add him in deeper leagues or standard ones, even if it's just as a short-term streaming option.

Small Forward - Tobias Harris

Harris is set at 27.6 projected fantasy points for the week. He's rostered in 74% of leagues and has three games lined up this week.

Harris has been great over the past two contests, combining for 36 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 55 total minutes.

Detroit was missing Isaiah Stewart for the last game, but Harris can deliver good marks in games even with Stewart around. Harris' inconsistency is what holds him back from being owned in more leagues, but he also does enough to consider adding for the week.

He should be owned in all deeper leagues, and he is a pretty solid standard league asset as well, especially coming off a couple bigger performances.

Power Forward - Cameron Johnson

Johnson is projected for 23.7 fantasy points. He is rostered in 49% of leagues right now and has four games coming up this week.

He's had an injury-riddled season, only getting in 42 games to this point. Johnson has played in five straight contests, so he's trending in the right direction.

Johnson has scored 17, 15 and 18 points over his past three games, so he appears to be getting in a groove. He has 11 rebounds, eight assists and three steals and blocks over that stretch.

Denver is just missing Peyton Watson right now and even though Watson could be back soon, I like how Johnson is trending. Johnson can be added and utilized in a lot of deeper leagues, and he's also a decent standard league threat in my eyes, especially if you need a forward for the coming week.

Center - Wendell Carter Jr.

Carter is my pick at center again. He's set for 23.4 fantasy points for a projection, is owned in 80% leagues right now and has four games coming this week.

He has scored 15, 19 and 11 points over his past three appearances. Carter has 30 rebounds, nine assists, three blocks and two steals in that stretch as well.

Carter has picked up more with Franz Wagner out for a pretty long stretch of time. Anthony Black and Jonathan Isaac being out also helps Carter's cause.

Carter should be owned in all deeper leagues, but I also like utilizing him in a lot of standard leagues. Give him an add if you need some center help for the upcoming week.
