Fantasy Basketball Weekend Streamers: Kingston Flemings, Brayden Burries take over as starters

Ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Wizards, CJ McCollum suggested to head coach Quin Snyder that Kingston Flemings should take over as the team’s starting point guard. He ended up playing just 23 minutes to McCollum’s 25, but the move into the starting unit speaks volumes.

Flemings has been able to dish out the dimes all season, but he should be able to provide steals as he plays more minutes, though he hasn’t showcased that as much this season compared to his lone season at Houston in college. Flemings has also flashed more as a scorer following a rather quiet start to his career, where he didn’t shoot at a high volume.

The Hawks selected Flemings with the No. 8 overall pick, so it would be surprising if he gave the starting job back to McCollum. Flemings has the opportunity to shine this weekend, but he should also be considered as a rest-of-season option.

The Hornets, Bulls, Nuggets, Pistons, Warriors, Rockets, Pacers, Clippers, Grizzlies, Heat, Knicks, Magic, Suns and Raptors only play one game this weekend, so prioritize players from other teams for streaming.

Nolan Traoré, G, Brooklyn Nets

Traoré has started the last five games for the Nets, and been part of the rotation over the last six, and the results have been really good. During this six-game stretch, Traoré has averaged 15.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.3 triples per game while shooting 53.1 percent from the floor and turning it over just 1.8 times per game. This is another situation where a player is worth streaming this weekend, but he can also be kept on your roster far beyond that.

Brayden Burries, G, Milwaukee Bucks

The rookie took over as the Bucks’ starting point guard two games ago, and while the results haven’t been great, the opportunity is enough to take a chance on Burries. It will likely come inconsistently, but the opportunity should continue to be there for him as a starter. He was able to post decent steal numbers at Arizona, so hopefully those will start to tick up. Still, he’s worth taking a chance on this weekend, and he could end up being worth rostering for the rest…
