Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 7: Danny Green, Patty Mills, Jeff Green, De'Anthony Melton

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. I know I did, but I'm happy to be back in the saddle and delivering you another fantastic guide to some category streamers! Every team is just about 20 games into the season at this point, so things are starting to normalize. There's been plenty of shuffling in rotations for us to find some value here.

The Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers only have two games this time around, so we'll have to avoid them like LeBron James avoiding a hook from Isaiah Stewart. Only eight teams have four games this week, so we'll try to prioritize them when it comes to pickups.

Our staff at RotoBaller has great insight and daily columns on how to improve your squad and tips to make your team successful, so be sure to check them out. Now, let's get prepared for the upcoming week and go win your leagues. All players in this article are rostered at 50 percent or less.

Week 7 Standard 9-Category Leagues

Columns are written based on H2H 9-category standard size leagues:

FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE

Brandon Clarke - SF/PF - Memphis Grizzlies (12% rostered)

Brandon Clarke has found his way back into the rotation suddenly in the last four games, averaging 20.3 minutes per game in that stretch, which includes an 11-minute showing in their last blowout loss. He's always been known to shoot the ball extremely well, and he's never shot below 52% from the field in his career. With Ja Morant staring down a potentially lengthy absence, it will be all hands on deck so Clarke may see a 25ish minute role stick. He's good for blocks, boards, and efficiently scored points.

FREE THROW PERCENTAGE

Danny Green - SG/SF - Philadelphia 76ers (22% rostered)

Let's face it, the best-kept secret in the fantasy game is getting a bit older. Danny Green has been found money for years in fantasy hoops for the savviest of managers, but he's been banged up to start the season a few times already. He's starting to play again though and is a career 81% free-throw shooter. He puts up defensive stats and threes in bunches, meaning he's providing value all the time even if he's not producing eye-popping lines. Go snag him up if he's available in your league.

POINTS

Jeff Green - SF/PF - Denver Nuggets (9% rostered)

I'm a big proponent of going out and snagging Jeff Green, like right now. The Nuggets are still banged up without Michael Porter Jr., Bones Hyland, PJ Dozier, or Nikola Jokic. The Joker could return at any moment, but Green should still maintain a lot of his value even when that happens. He's averaging 19.3 points over the last 7 days and will absolutely be worth a hold until Jokic gets back, and maybe even beyond.

Other streamers:

  • Anfernee Simons - PG/SG - Portland Trail Blazers (11% rostered)
  • Patty Mills - PG/SG - Brooklyn Nets (47% rostered)
  • Pat Connaughton - SG/SF - Milwaukee Bucks (46% rostered)
  • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - PG/SG/SF - Washington Wizards (25% rostered)
  • Malik Beasley - PG/SG - Minnesota Timberwolves (34% rostered)

 

THREE-POINTERS

Patty Mills - PG/SG - Brooklyn Nets (47% rostered)

Patty Mills is still available in your league?? Go fix that! Over his last six games, Patty Mills is putting up top-20 9-category league value. During that span, he's putting up 4.5 three-pointers per game, which is the one part of his value that should be sustainable, even when Bruce Brown and Joe Harris eventually return. Until Harris is back, specifically, Patty Mills is a fantastic hold.

Other streamers:

  • Cedi Osman - SF/PF - Cleveland Cavaliers (21% rostered)
  • Malik Beasley - PG/SG - Minnesota Timberwolves (34% rostered)
  • Alec Burks - SG/SF - New York Knicks (29% rostered)
  • Danny Green - SG/SF - Philadelphia 76ers (22% rostered)
  • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - PG/SG/SF - Washington Wizards (25% rostered)

 

REBOUNDS

JaVale McGee - C - Phoenix Suns (28% rostered)

JaVale McGee just keeps chugging, even with Deandre Ayton back in the fold. He has double-doubled in two of his last three games and seems locked into a 15-20 minute role for the Suns. That's enough time for him to do some damage and he's a 12th round value in the last two weeks. He's an excellent low-end center to hang onto as long as you need him.

Other streamers:

  • Guillermo Hernangomez - C - New Orleans Pelicans (19% rostered)
  • Jeremiah Robinson-Earl - SF - Oklahoma City Thunder (28% rostered)
  • Darius Bazley - SF/PF - Oklahoma City Thunder (24% rostered)
  • Maxi Kleber- PF/C - Dallas Mavericks (11% rostered)

 

ASSISTS

Monte Morris - PG/SG - Denver Nuggets (38% rostered)

The Denver Nuggets are on a slide and desperately need their MVP center back, but until then guys like Monte Morris will be worth rostering. He's averaging a shade under five assists per game over the last two weeks and is nearly a top-100 player. Even when Nikola Jokic returns, he should get enough run to provide a decent amount of points and assists.

Other streamers:

  • Eric Gordon - SG/SF - Houston Rockets (14% rostered)
  • Juan Toscano-Anderson - SF/PF - Golden State Warriors (4% rostered)
  • Tyus Jones - PG - Memphis Grizzlies (24% rostered)
  • Joe Ingles - SG/SF/PF - Utah Jazz (33% rostered)
  • Immanuel Quickley - PG - New York Knicks (12% rostered)

STEALS

De'Anthony Melton - PG/SG - Memphis Grizzlies (47% rostered)

De'Anthony Melton is worth a speculative add everywhere until we figure out what is going on with Ja Morant's knee. Melton is capable of putting up defensive stats in bunches as well as points with contributions in every other category as well. He's a roto stud, so definitely target him heavily in those leagues. There's no telling how Taylor Jenkins will handle Morant being out for an extended period of time, and he inexplicably just doesn't play Melton sometimes, but the upside is just too good to pass up.

Other streamers:

  • Danny Green - SG/SF - Philadelphia 76ers (22% rostered)
  • Herbert Jones - SF - New Orleans Pelicans (3% rostered)
  • Alec Burks - SG/SF - New York Knicks (29% rostered)
  • Isaac Okoro - SG/SF - Cleveland Cavaliers (9% rostered)
  • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - PG/SG/SF - Washington Wizards (25% rostered)

BLOCKS

Darius Bazley - SF/PF - Oklahoma City Thunder (23% rostered)

Blocks come in bunches and Darius Bazley has had multiple games with three or more and a game with five blocks in the last few weeks! He's averaging 1.5 blocks per game in that span as a result. He's worth a look for owners in need of rebounds and blocks, but he's especially useful if you're punting field goal percentage. Because he's not very good. Sorry, Darius Bazley fans.

Other streamers:

  • Hassan Whiteside - PF/C - Utah Jazz (28% rostered)
  • Naz Reid - C - Minnesota Timberwolves (5% rostered)
  • JaVale McGee - C - Phoenix Suns (12% rostered)
  • Isaiah Hartenstein - PF/C- Los Angeles Clippers (8% rostered)
  • Maxi Kleber- PF/C - Dallas Mavericks (11% rostered)
