Fantasy Basketball Picks and Betting Tips for Sunday

Jim McCormick breaks down the top fantasy streamers and his favorite bets for the NBA slate on Sunday.

Here are the fantasy basketball picks and betting tips for Sunday's NBA slate:

Stream Team:

  • Scoot Henderson, PG, Portland Trail Blazers: Henderson has shown growth this season and is a positive fantasy producer. He should have a good matchup against the leaky Chicago defense. If you need more scoring and shooting, pivot to his teammate Shaedon Sharpe.

  • Stephon Castle, PG/SG, San Antonio Spurs: Castle has been playing well early in his rookie year and has been forgotten by the fantasy market. He can create busy box score lines and is a good option against the Miami Heat, who are dealing with a back-to-back.

  • Kelly Oubre Jr., SG/SF, Philadelphia 76ers: Oubre has been a great fantasy contributor with Joel Embiid sidelined. He is a real double-double threat against the Milwaukee Bucks.

  • Jaylin Williams, C, Oklahoma City Thunder: Williams will have a prominent role with Isaiah Hartenstein out today. He could feast against the undersized Brooklyn Nets.

Bets for Sunday:

  • Cole Anthony (ORL) over 21.5 combined points and rebounds (-115): Anthony has been impressive as both an on-ball creator and off-ball cutter in recent games. He should have a good matchup against the Denver Nuggets and is one of the better rebounding guards in the game.

  • Kelly Oubre Jr. (PHI) over 20.5 combined points and rebounds (-110): Oubre has been great at cleaning up the glass for the 76ers in recent weeks. He should have a good matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks and I am not too concerned about blowout issues curbing his minutes.

  • LA Clippers -4.5 points (-105) vs. Los Angeles Lakers: The Clippers are currently the superior team and have been among the elite defensive statistical teams over the past month. The Lakers can rise to the occasion given the top-end talent on the marquee, but this just feels like a game where the Clippers are in a spot to deliver.
