Fantasy Basketball Weekend Must-Starts: Keegan Murray Thriving as King of Sacramento

In head-to-head leagues, it all comes down to the weekend. You can have a comfortable lead in multiple categories or by a bunch of points, but if you don’t make the most of the weekend, you can walk out with a loss.

The Warriors, Rockets, Heat, Magic, Trail Blazers and Wizards only play once this weekend. In order to maximize your opportunities, avoid those teams if you’re deciding between a few options.

Absolute Must-Start: Keegan Murray, Sacramento Kings

DeMar DeRozan said that the Kings are Murray’s team. Through four games, that is holding true, as he is posting career bests in every category except for three-pointers. Now, they get matchups with the Jazz and Grizzlies, with both teams sitting in the top-five for most three-pointers allowed per game in November. Murray is proving that he’s way more than just a deep-range specialist for fantasy managers, but he is also Sacramento’s best shooting threat. He’s available in 54 percent of Yahoo! leagues currently, so if he’s sitting on your waiver wire, add him and get ready to enjoy a big weekend.

Guards:

Bennedict Mathurin, Indiana Pacers

Mathurin has been quieter recently, but this is a great weekend for him to get back on track. They play the Wizards and Bulls, with Washington ranking fourth in pace in November and Chicago ranking second. Indiana also plays fast, so there should be plenty of shots for Mathurin. He had scored at least 20 points in every game prior to their last two games, and this weekend should result in him getting back on track.

Vince Williams Jr., Memphis Grizzlies

Williams has been awesome as a starter with Ja Morant (calf) sidelined. He has started the last five games and averaged 7.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game. The shooting hasn’t been there, but he may be able to get back on track against the Clippers and Kings this weekend, with both teams posting a bottom-five defensive rating in November. Whether he gets his shot going or not, the dimes will continue to make him worth streaming.

Ryan Rollins, Milwaukee Bucks
