Basketball enthusiasts are in for a treat this weekend, with Sunday showcasing an exciting lineup of 11 NBA games. As almost three-quarters of the league sees action, both fantasy basketball managers and bettors face the task of navigating through 22 team rosters and player rotations to make the most strategic choices.

The day`s schedule begins with matches between teams likely headed for the lottery, including the Chicago Bulls versus the Charlotte Hornets, and the Toronto Raptors visiting the Brooklyn Nets in New York. While these games may lack playoff implications, they offer opportunities to identify valuable streaming options for fantasy teams, such as the emerging talent Matas Buzelis from the Bulls.

The intensity escalates in the afternoon as the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder, a significant pre-playoff challenge for the Lakers` star duo. Additionally, the evening clash between the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors is anticipated to have a playoff atmosphere. Finding streaming players from teams in playoff contention can be difficult, making the lottery-bound teams playing earlier in the day even more appealing for fantasy pickups.

Sunday`s Stream Team

Matas Buzelis, SF/PF, Chicago Bulls (Rostered in 13.7% of ESPN leagues)

Despite not being playoff contenders, the Bulls have been playing an engaging brand of basketball towards the end of the season. A key highlight has been the emergence of Buzelis. Since the Bulls traded away veteran wing players to Sacramento, their top pick from the 2024 draft has thrived. He brings excitement with impressive dunks, along with valuable blocks and rebounds. Furthermore, the matchup is exceptionally favorable.

Bub Carrington, PG/SG, Washington Wizards (13.6%)

The Wizards franchise is charting a new course, partly due to the development of Carrington and Kyshawn George this season. While Alex Sarr is still developing, Carrington`s savvy playmaking suggests he`s ready to contribute immediately. He aims to finish his rookie season strongly, facing a significant test against the Celtics.

Kyle Filipowski, PF, Utah Jazz (13.0%)

The Jazz are prioritizing securing a high draft pick in June. This strategy involves resting their primary forwards, which has allowed Filipowski to step up as a impactful two-way player for Utah. His strong block rate and efficient rebounding make him a worthwhile addition in all fantasy formats for Sunday`s game against the Hawks.

Jamal Shead, PG, Toronto Raptors (5.7%)

Consistent assist numbers can be scarce in free agency, but Shead has been a reliable playmaker for several weeks. While assists were initially his main contribution, he`s starting to expand his game with improved shooting, steals, and scoring. With the Raptors likely to rest several key players, Shead and Ja`Kobe Walter become attractive options for fantasy managers.

McCormick`s bets for Sunday

Tyrese Haliburton over 21.5 points (-115)

The Pacers are playing in Denver as significant underdogs, partly due to the expected absence of Pascal Siakam. While this makes defeating the Nuggets harder, it also means Siakam`s shot attempts will be distributed among other players. Haliburton will need to increase his scoring output in this game, especially against a team that isn`t strong at guarding the perimeter and in fast-break situations.

Devin Booker over 36.5 combined points and assists (-120)

Another betting recommendation tied to player availability, Booker is expected to carry the offensive load for the Suns as they play at Madison Square Garden. With Kevin Durant sidelined, Booker will be responsible for both scoring and creating opportunities for teammates. The Knicks have capable wing defenders, but they can be vulnerable at the rim when Mitchell Robinson is not on the court. Expect a significant performance from Booker.

Jalen Green over 20.5 points (-120)

The Warriors have evolved their playing style with Jimmy Butler in the lineup, allowing them to adapt to different game flows – playing either tough and physical or fast-paced and exciting. The Rockets share some similarities, with Green embodying the flashy, high-scoring element. While not a shooter like Curry, Green`s driving ability and relentless attacks towards the basket are effective against a team potentially weaker at the center position. In a high-profile game, Green is likely to have ample playing time, touches, and shot attempts.
