Week 11 Fantasy Basketball Overview
As we dive into Week 11 of the fantasy basketball season, fantasy managers have a great opportunity to enhance their rosters, with each NBA team scheduled for at least three games this week. This makes streaming players a viable strategy on several nights. Teams such as the 76ers, Celtics, Clippers, Jazz, Kings, and Pistons are particularly noteworthy during the lighter game days on Tuesday and Thursday, making their players valuable assets in your lineups.
Key Player Picks for Shallower Leagues
- Brook Lopez – Center, Los Angeles Clippers (22% rostered)
Lopez had a shining moment last month, hitting a career-high nine three-pointers, a performance that’s unlikely to be repeated soon. However, with Ivica Zubac sidelined for an extended period, Lopez becomes a favorable addition. He continues to provide solid contributions in blocks, shooting percentage, and low turnovers which maintains his value even when he’s off from the field. In points leagues, his performance is situational, yet Lopez’s ability to record multiple blocks and double-digit scoring ensures he can deliver 20-30 fantasy points on a good night. With the Clippers currently short on depth in the frontcourt, he stands out as a top pickup in shallow leagues. - Bilal Coulibaly – Shooting Guard/Small Forward, Washington Wizards (25% rostered)
Despite not exceeding 30 minutes in recent games, Coulibaly has been effective in generating points, rebounds, and defensive stats. Averaging 1.36 Fantasy Points Per Minute (FPPM) in his last three outings demonstrates his potential for Week 11, particularly as the Wizards look to provide their young talents with more playtime. He ranked 73rd and 54th in 9-cat leagues in his previous performance, making him an attractive addition across multiple league formats.
Key Player Picks for Deeper Leagues
- Pelle Larsson – Shooting Guard/Small Forward, Miami Heat (7% rostered)
With Tyler Herro unable to play and Davion Mitchell nursing an ankle injury, Larsson is cementing his role in the rotation. He has recently averaged an impressive 18.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists, making him a worthy contender for deeper leagues this week as Miami has four games on the slate, including back-to-back matches over the weekend. - Luke Kornet – Center, San Antonio Spurs (9% rostered)
Kornet, playing off the bench, has still managed to provide top-50 value in 9-cat leagues since Victor Wembanyama’s return. His strengths lie in rebounding and rim protection. With four games on the horizon this week and a pivotal matchup against a Cavaliers team struggling against centers, Kornet serves as an intriguing streaming option, especially if Wembanyama is rested. - Kris Dunn – Point Guard/Shooting Guard, Los Angeles Clippers (11% rostered)
Dunn has turned heads this season with a shooting percentage of 57% and solid per-minute stats, averaging 1.5 steals. Over the last fortnight, he has contributed 7.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, ranking him 83rd in 9-cat leagues. With the Clippers’ upcoming three games, Dunn is a proactive target for Week 11. - Hugo González – Small Forward, Boston Celtics (3% rostered)
This 19-year-old has been making waves with his hustle and defensive prowess. He has begun to secure more minutes at the expense of Jordan Walsh, and his stats reflect this. In Week 10, he boasted two double-digit rebound games and consistently registered defensive stats. Recently, he logged at least 30 minutes in a game, posting 13 points alongside 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. He’s a strong candidate for deep-league streaming this week.
Other Notable Deep League Candidates
- Nique Clifford – SG/SF, Sacramento Kings (2%)
- Max Christie – SG/SF, Dallas Mavericks (6%)
- Bones Hyland – PG, Minnesota Timberwolves (2%)
- Egor Dëmin – PG, Brooklyn Nets (10%)
- Marvin Bagley III – PF/C, Washington Wizards (10%)
This week’s fantasy landscape is ripe for strategic adds as we approach the critical mid-point of the season, helping you remain competitive in your leagues.
