Fantasy Basketball Weekly Projections: 2 Bucks Among 5 Players to Watch

A new week of fantasy basketball is here! Let's kick it off by discussing some weekly projections!

We have several players to get into, so let's dive right in!

Fantasy basketball weekly projections are available on FantasySP! Daily projections are also available all season! 

Ryan Rollins and Kyle Kuzma - Milwaukee Bucks

Rollins and Kuzma have four games scheduled for the coming week. Rollins is rostered in 79.06% of fantasy leagues at the moment, so several of you reading could pick him up. Kuzma is at just 33.41%, so a lot more of you could add him.

Rollins has taken a step back from what he did a season ago, but is still averaging 10.7 points per contest. He's also averaging 4.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.4 blocks across 23.3 minutes, so he's still producing a bit.

He's lost his starting role though, and that is leading to inconsistent playing time and production. Rollins is a better deep-league asset right now, but those still holding him in standard leagues might want to consider holding him another week after looking at the projections.

Unless he gets his starting spot back though, Rollins might stick as a better deep-league asset this season.

Kuzma has started all 10 games for the Bucks so far, averaging 27.4 minutes a contest. He's also averaging 11.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1 steal and 0.2 blocks per game.

There's some decent fantasy value in those averages, but just enough to be another better deep-league option, not a standard league threat. He's capable of some bigger showings, and could deliver a bit this week, so he at least is worth considering as a standard league streaming option.

Kuzma is worth tracking this season, but he's likely to only be holdable in deeper leagues.

Saddiq Bey - New Orleans Pelicans

Bey is close to 80% as well, sitting at 77.95% exactly. He too has four games coming up this week.

Bey is coming off the bench for New Orleans, but he's averaging 27 minutes a game, which is enough to be a viable fantasy asset. He's averaging 16.1 points, 4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1 steal and 0.2 blocks per game.

His scoring is his most appealing fantasy asset, but he's doing enough else to be worth some standard league usage. Bey isn't one to own in all standard leagues, but he's a streaming option in every game. 

In a week where he's projected to fare well, Bey could be worth adding and stashing for the week. Keep close tabs on his production and add/drop him throughout the season as his numbers go up and down.

Day'Ron Sharpe - Brooklyn Nets

Sharpe sits at 61.02% rostered and is projected to fare well, but across just two games this week.

Sharpe is starting for Brooklyn, but he's only averaging 23.7 minutes a night, so that leaves something to be desired. He's averaging 7.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.7 steals per game so far.

He's not a big scorer, but has enough in his other stats to have some fantasy appeal. Again, we are discussing a better deep-league asset, but he's worth some standard league usage here and there.

This might not be one of those weeks, as he's only got two games scheduled. He could still be streamed in standard leagues for those contests. I'd be holding and utilizing Sharpe in deeper leagues for the time being.

Collin Sexton - Charlotte Hornets 

Sexton has three games this coming week and is projected to succeed. He's rostered in only 19.60% of fantasy leagues.

He has only come off the bench for the Hornets so far this season. Sexton is averaging 17.3 minutes a night, along with 9.5 points, 2.2 assists, 1.9 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks.

As you might expect for a player coming off the bench and not logging a ton of minutes, his fantasy results have been up and down this season. He's certainly a better deep-league option, and he'd likely only sneak into standard leagues if his minutes went up significantly, or he began making starts for the Hornets.

He's projected to fare well this week, so it wouldn't surprise me to see his own percentage rise if he's producing well. Sexton should only be added in deeper leagues though. Use your standard leagues roster spots on players with higher fantasy upside.
