We've had some ridiculous value in the past few weeks with guys like Herb Jones, Malik Monk, Cameron Johnson, and Coby White putting up second-round total value or better over the past two weeks. Two of those guys were in last week's streamers by the way, so we aren't doing too badly!
Speaking of, I'm going to start recapping last week's top streamers and how they did during that week: Nicolas Claxton (FG%, sixth-round value), Terrence Ross (FT%, third-round value), Malik Monk (PTS, second-round value), Garrett Temple (3PTM, unranked womp womp), Luka Garza (REBS, unranked womp womp), Facundo Campazzo (ASTS, unranked womp womp), Otto Porter Jr. (STLS, unranked womp womp), Herbert Jones (BLKS, third-round value). That's four big hits and four big misses, so we were all over the place. Hopefully, you snagged the right ones.
11 teams have four games this week while the Lakers have just two games this week. We'll fade Lakers but every other player is basically on the map for us.

Week 13 Standard 9-Category Leagues
Columns are written based on H2H nine-category standard size leagues:
FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE
Onyeka Okongwu - PF/C - Atlanta Hawks (10% rostered)
Clint Capela is out with a sprained ankle and Gorgui Dieng is in the health and safety protocols, so it's gonna be all Onyeka Okongwu for the Hawks for the time being. Check Capela's status for the next game, but with Dieng out, he should still get backup minutes and will put up big man stats. He's a career 66% shooter, so he should help teams that are looking to win field goal percentage this week. He's also no slouch at the free-throw line, so it's not a huge risk.
Other streamers:
- Hassan Whiteside - PF/C - Utah Jazz (32% rostered)
- P.J. Tucker - PF/C - Miami Heat (16% rostered)
- Ayo Dosunmu - PG - Chicago Bulls (1% rostered)
- Nicolas Batum - SF/PF - Los Angeles Clippers (14% rostered)
- Mason Plumlee - PF/C - Charlotte Hornets (41% rostered)
FREE THROW PERCENTAGE
Terrence Ross - SG/SF - Orlando Magic (42% rostered)
His ownership has skyrocketed from 26% last week to 42% this week. He's still getting to the line a bunch and hitting at a high clip, averaging 4.3 attempts per game over the last two weeks and connecting on every single shot so far. They could pull him at any moment in favor of the younger guys or returning players, but it's looking like they're trying to build his trade value for now so we should be able to ride him for another week.
Other streamers:
- Garrison Mathews - SG/SF - Houston Rockets (16% rostered)
- Cory Joseph - PG - Detroit Pistons (1% rostered)
- Danilo Gallinari - SF/PF - Atlanta Hawks (15% rostered)
- Josh Richardson - SG/SF - Boston Celtics (10% rostered)
- Jeff Green - SF/PF/C - Denver Nuggets (6% rostered)
POINTS
Hamidou Diallo - SG/SF - Detroit Pistons (50% rostered)
It has taken me a while to come around on Hamidou Diallo. He's had some big games in the past, but he still felt raw. However, after seeing him average 20.3 points over the past two weeks, he's scored consistently enough to finally say this dude should be rostered until Jerami Grant comes back. Points, threes, and steals are there, so if your team needs those, this is your guy for another few weeks.
Other streamers:
- Terrence Ross - SG/SF - Orlando Magic (42% rostered)
- Kevin Huerter - SG/SF - Atlanta Hawks (40% rostered)
- Duncan Robinson - SG/SF - Miami Heat (49% rostered)
- Coby White - PG/SG - Chicago Bulls (48% rostered)
- Aaron Wiggins - SG/SF - Oklahoma City Thunder (13% rostered)
THREE-POINTERS
Cedi Osman - SF/PF - Cleveland Cavaliers (15% rostered)
You were probably expecting Duncan Robinson or Max Strus here, and that's understandable. I'll include them in the list, but you should really go out and snap up Cedi Osman, who seems to be locked into a 30ish minute role right now as the Cavs need his offense. He's averaging 2.4 three-pointers per game this season, which is the highest mark of his career. I'd snag Cedi over the other two as it seems Jimmy Butler is trending towards playing in the next game for the Heat which is going to really limit their value.
Other streamers:
- Duncan Robinson - SG/SF - Miami Heat (49% rostered)
- Max Strus - SG/SF - Miami Heat (30% rostered)
- Coby White - PG/SG - Chicago Bulls (48% rostered)
- Justin Holiday - SG/SF - Indiana Pacers (25% rostered)
- Reggie Bullock - SG/SF - Dallas Mavericks (4% rostered)
REBOUNDS
Maxi Kleber - PF/C - Dallas Mavericks (17% rostered)
By the time this comes out, this will likely be outdated information. However, Kristaps Porzingis is still in the league's health and safety protocols, which makes Kleber a very appealing add for teams in need of threes and rebounds. The Mavericks don't play until Wednesday though, which means KP could be back in action and you would then want to go with someone else on this list.
Other streamers:
- De'Anthony Melton - PG/SG - Memphis Grizzlies (49% rostered)
- Trey Lyles - PF/C - Detroit Pistons (13% rostered)
- Hamidou Diallo - SG/SF - Detroit Pistons (50% rostered)
- Marvin Bagley III - PF/C - Sacramento Kings (18% rostered)
- Hassan Whiteside - PF/C - Utah Jazz (32% rostered)
ASSISTS
Patrick Beverley - PG/SG - Minnesota Timberwolves (37% rostered)
Patrick Beverley should have been scooped up a bit ago as he's been great when he's been on the floor this season, but if he's still available in your league and you need guard stats, go get him. He's a valuable source of assists in a league that doesn't have many options, putting up 7.4 per game in the last two weeks. As of the writing of this article, he's listed as questionable with groin soreness, but he should be good to go for the three games the Wolves have this week. He'll give you plenty of threes, assists, and steals.
Other streamers:
- Facundo Campazzo - PG - Denver Nuggets (20% rostered)
- De'Anthony Melton - PG/SG - Memphis Grizzlies (49% rostered)
- Eric Bledsoe - PG/SG - Los Angeles Clippers (42% rostered)
- Cameron Payne - PG/SG - Phoenix Suns (11% rostered)
- Saben Lee - PG - Detroit Pistons (1% rostered)
STEALS
De'Anthony Melton - PG/SG - Memphis Grizzlies (49% rostered)
I have to give De'Anthony Melton love whenever he's going to get minutes. It's obligatory in the fantasy community. In all seriousness though, Melton's value is anchored in his ability to put up defensive stats, and he's averaging 1.5 steals since returning to the lineup. After Dillon Brooks went down with an ankle injury, Melton is worth a speculative add for the week. Just don't be shocked if he gets inexplicably buried on the roster at some point.
Other streamers:
- Hamidou Diallo - SG/SF - Detroit Pistons (50% rostered)
- Otto Porter Jr. - SF/PF - Golden State Warriors (28% rostered)
- Gary Payton II - PG/SG - Golden State Warriors (21% rostered)
- Matisse Thybulle - SG/SF - Philadelphia 76ers (34% rostered)
- Cody Martin - SG/SF - Charlotte Hornets (17% rostered)
BLOCKS
Hassan Whiteside - PF/C - Utah Jazz (32% rostered)
Hassan Whiteside has been bad since entering the starting lineup, but with Rudy Gobert in the protocols, he's locked into 25+ minutes for the Jazz who get Detroit and then Cleveland on Monday then Wednesday. There's a good chance that Gobert misses both of those contests, which makes Whiteside a good stream for boards and blocks in the meantime.
Other streamers:
- Nicolas Claxton - C - Brooklyn Nets (49% rostered)
- Maxi Kleber - PF/C - Dallas Mavericks (17% rostered)
- Brandon Clarke - SF/PF - Memphis Grizzlies (35% rostered)
- Onyeka Okongwu - PF/C - Atlanta Hawks (10% rostered)
- De'Anthony Melton - PG/SG - Memphis Grizzlies (49% rostered)
