Fantasy Basketball Streaming Guide: Best Saturday Pickups
Streaming players from three NBA teams with good matchups on Saturday.
We've made it to the last weekend in March, meaning that 2026 is about 25% of the way over. Remember when it was just the new year, like, a week ago? (Or something like that.) The change in the sports schedule has been accompanied by a change in weather, as we are transitioning toward baseball, but there's still a lot to figure out before we start the NBA playoffs.
Let's look at streaming players from three NBA teams with good matchups on Saturday. We'll focus on the guys who get on the court and are widely available in fantasy leagues. Most stats are from NBA.com.

Chicago Bulls @ Memphis Grizzlies
We'll start today with a game in which we can target both teams. The Bulls and Grizzlies each rank in the top 10 in pace and the bottom 10 in defensive rating over both the full season and in just the time since the All-Star break. They are two of the five best teams to stream against right now.
While Memphis has been eliminated from playoff contention for a while, Chicago was holding on by the skin of its teeth until being officially eliminated with yesterday's loss. It might be disappointing for a team that was in play-in position in the first half of the season (and they started 5-0), but at least the Bulls made a move to get out of the muddled middle and rebuild while hoping for a high draft pick.
Chicago Bulls
Guard
Jones is averaging 16.3 points, 4.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per game this month, making him a good streaming option if you need help at guard. Sexton scores more (20.5 points in March) and shoots it better (2.6 3-pointers), making up for being a little lower in assists. He also adds 1.3 steals and is probably a bit of a better fantasy option than Jones.
Dillingham might have more future upside than either of those two, as the 21-year-old was the eighth overall pick in 2024, but he's not putting up the numbers now to be a real fantasy option.
Forward
Okoro missed a few weeks in March, but in the two games since he returned, he has combined for 33 points and six 3-pointers. I don't trust him for consistent production, but there's a little low-level intrigue. Williams doesn't do enough to be a real fantasy option in any leagues.
Miller is interesting as a player who barely got on the court with Minnesota but has been a new man since getting to a losing team in Chicago. This month, Miller is averaging 11.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, far above anything he did previously this season.
Center
Richards left Wednesday's game with an elbow injury and missed yesterday's game; he is questionable today. Richards has done decent low-to-mid-level work this month, averaging 9.6 points and 8.1 rebounds in March.
Yabusele is more of a reserve who doesn't do a lot, but he has averaged around 10 points and 2 3-pointers over the past two months.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizzlies don't have a single player who is owned in even 50% of fantasy leagues, leaving their entire roster fitting the streamer definition. That gives us plenty of options but can make it tougher to find the guy who will hit from game to game.
Guard
Jerome would be the best option here, but he has missed the past two games and is questionable for this one. He is averaging 19.7 points, 5.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.8 3-pointers on the season. Coward is at 13.3 points and 6.1 rebounds on the season, numbers he is close to in March.
If Jerome is out, it will leave more chances for Clayton and Small, who have both found a little success at times. Small is close to 13 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steals, and 2 3-pointers since the beginning of February, good marks. Clayton records a few more assists but isn't as complete elsewhere, leaving Small with a slight advantage among the two.
Forward
Wells is another guy who missed the past two games and is questionable here, bringing some risk even if he plays. Jackson has been at his best the past few months, averaging around 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 blocks per game since the beginning of February. Wells is around 13 points, 1 steals, and 2.5 3-pointers in that time, making both feasible options.
Spencer generally does less statistically and is a step below these guys and the guards listed above, though he has 17 assists over the past two games.
Center
Prosper had a big game yesterday, scoring a season-high 31 points to go along with seven rebounds and four 3-pointers. He has been a good fantasy player since the beginning of February (along with seemingly every other Grizzly).
Hendricks has good games but also more inconsistency, leaving Prosper as the better option out of these two.
Phoenix Suns vs. Utah Jazz
Utah has played at the second-fastest pace and owns the second-worst defensive rating over the full-season numbers. They are fourth in pace and have the seventh-worst defense since the All-Star break, still well within our target range, and given their performance all year, there's not a much better team to target than the Jazz.
The Suns still have a chance to climb above the play-in, but they are more likely to finish as the seventh seed, which would give them two chances to win one game to advance to the real playoffs. After dumping several players in the offseason, including Kevin Durant, it was expected that Phoenix would struggle this year, but they have held on admirably and have a nice core of players in place.
Guard
In March, Gillespie is averaging 12.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1 steals, and 3 3-pointers. Each of those numbers are close to his season averages, giving Gillespie some decent streaming value. Allen has similar fantasy value, averaging 17.3 points, 3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.4 steals, and 3.3 3-pointers on the season. He has dealt with some injuries the past few months but returned for the last game and looks good to go here.
Goodwin is a lesser fantasy player who put up some numbers when guys were out in front of him, but he's further down the depth chart with the guards healthy.
Forward
O'Neale has some decent statistical games and is averaging around 10 points and 3 3-pointers per game on the season and over the past few months. He doesn't always add a lot else, but he is close to 5 rebounds and 1 steals also.
Fleming isn't as much of a statistical guy, playing deeper reserve minutes that keep him off our fantasy radar.
Center
Ighodaro is having his best month, playing 29 minutes per game and averaging 9.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and just under one block and one steal. It's not enough to be a great option, but he can fill a spot for you if you are short at center.
Maluach has been the primary backup center but hasn't gotten on the court enough to make a real fantasy impact.
