Fantasy Basketball Weekly Projections & Top Adds for the Week

A new week is here, so it's time to go over some fantasy basketball weekly projections and highlight my favorite waiver wire/streaming options.

Also be sure to check out the fantasy basketball streaming article for Monday!

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

Point Guard - Tre Jones

Jones is projected for 22.4 fantasy points over four games this coming week. He is rostered in about 72% of fantasy leagues right now.

He's coming off a game in which he delivered 20 points, four rebounds and three assists and steals over 32 minutes. Jones starts most games now for Chicago, and has been in a nice groove since the end of February.

Over Jones' past 11 contests, he's averaging 16.7 points, 4.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.22 blocks over 29.2 minutes a contest. There's some good fantasy value in those numbers.

He's been a good deep-league asset for a large portion of the season, but he's a standard league threat now after what he's done of late. Consider adding and holding Jones for the rest of the season, or at least consider streaming him for every game going forward.

Shooting Guard - Bilal Coulibaly

Coulibaly is projected for 24.8 points over three contests and is owned in about 76% of leagues.

He's a good asset when healthy, but has missed a bunch of games this year. Coulibaly averages 11.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1 block over 26.8 minutes a contest in his 49 games played in 2025-26.

Coulibaly has scored in double figures in six straight appearances, although he missed two contests during that stretch. He's averaging 17.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks over 32 minutes a game.

That improved production has Coulibaly as a standard league fantasy asset, after being mostly a deep-league asset this season. Consider adding/holding him until he cools off, and at least consider streaming him, especially if you have an open roster spot.

Small Forward - Peyton Watson

Watson is rostered in about 57% of leagues at the moment. He's set for 21.9 fantasy points over four contests.

Watson returned to the court on Sunday after missing a big chunk of time with an injury. He delivered 14 points, six rebounds and three assists over about 20 minutes off the bench.

He still needs time to re-accimate himself, but in time, Watson should be playing and producing more, so I like the idea of adding him in more fantasy leagues today.

Watson has averaged 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1.2 blocks over 30.4 minutes a contest in his 50 appearances (39 starts). That's good fantasy production, and you can scoop him up for free today after his long absence.

Power Forward - Cameron Johnson

Johnson is sitting at 74% owned and is projected for 23.3 fantasy points over four games this coming week.

Johnson has missed a lot of games this season, but he's played in nine straight now. He's had a couple lower scoring nights in that stretch, but is still averaging 14.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1 steal and 0.3 blocks over 28.8 minutes a game.

There's enough production there to add/utilize him in more fantasy leagues. He's another guy who could be a good daily streaming option anytime his team plays the rest of the season.

Something of note is that the Nuggets don't have anyone on the injury report right now. If the team is ever missing a bigger rotation piece, then guys like Watson and Johnson could be even better fantasy assets.

Center - Wendell Carter Jr.

Carter is rostered in about 71% of leagues. He is set for 24.6 fantasy points over four games this week.

Carter has been a pretty steady fantasy asset of late. A recent missed game has his own percentage a bit lower though, so it's a good time to scoop him up. 

He's scored in double figures in eight of the past nine, only missing by a single point in the one contest. Carter has averaged 13.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1 steal and 0.7 blocks over 29 minutes a contest.

Carter delivers enough to consider adding him in some more standard leagues. He's more been a streaming asset in standard leagues when active the past several weeks, so keep viewing him in the same light down the stretch.
