ESPN's fantasy basketball and basketball betting tips cheat sheet is your pregame destination for basketball betting predictions and our best intel and data, featuring ESPN's proprietary Basketball Power Index (BPI) to help you make smart fantasy and wagering decisions. Fantasy advice is based on ESPN 10-team leagues.

New this season, ESPN Analytics will also generate daily NBA fantasy projections. By combining historical player and team data and specific game factors ESPN is able to accurately predict player box score stats. Accounting for injuries, trends in playing time, and other factors impacting future performance the statistical models can be used to help NBA fantasy players gain an edge in their league.

What you need to know for Monday's games

The NBA schedule featured five games on Sunday with some defining outcomes including the Detroit Pistons securing a rare victory over one of the league's elite teams, the Oklahoma City Thunder. Another indelible moment featured Atlanta Hawks forward Saddiq Bey hitting the game-winning shot in a much-needed win over the Toronto Raptors.

Bey, who is a free agent in nearly 80% of ESPN leagues, delivered season highs in scoring (26) and rebounds (13), including the clutch offensive tip-in. Not only does he have at least seven boards in five straight games, but Bey appears unlikely to be dealt at the looming deadline. With Atlanta seemingly open to moving other key contributors from the rotation in the coming days, Bey could actually improve on his already rising role in the weeks ahead.

Sunday also saw Vince Williams Jr. (31% rostered) produce another strong line for the Memphis Grizzlies. With the Grizzlies beset by a wave of injuries, Williams earns another streaming endorsement given what should be rewarding creation duties against the Sacramento Kings this evening.

We open this week with Monday's busy 11-game slate. One of the first tips of the night has the Charlotte Hornets hosting the New York Knicks in the wake of Julius Randle's shoulder injury over this past weekend. We're still waiting for more clarity regarding the severity and timeline, while we'll also want to watch how the rotation plays out this evening to glean some actionable fantasy information. An emergent member of the Hornets' frontcourt is mentioned in the streaming tier below.

Beyond learning more about Randle's situation, the injury news of the day is led by the likely return of Evan Mobley to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the reemergence of Ben Simmons for the Brooklyn Nets. Mobley remains rostered in the vast majority of leagues, but Simmons is available in roughly 60% of leagues, indicating there's some potential value if he can regain form as a playmaker, defender and rebounder.

The marquee matchups of the night are the Minnesota Timberwolves visiting the Thunder in a game with implications for the Western Conference's top seed and the Milwaukee Bucks, led by their new head coach Doc Rivers, facing the Denver Nuggets. It will be interesting to see how Rivers deploys the Bucks' veteran rotation against the reigning champs.

However, a key matchup for fantasy managers should be Monday night's tilt between the Washington Wizards and the San Antonio Spurs. Both rosters present widely-available waiver wire options to consider ahead of this busy night of basketball.

Monday's Stream Team

This segment nominates three key streaming options ahead of that day's action. A streamer, by our standards, is a player available in at least half of ESPN men's basketball leagues.

P.J. Washington PF, Charlotte Hornets (61.1% rostered in ESPN leagues)

Fresh a career-high scoring night, setting a franchise mark for the most points off bench, Washington's 43-point opus over the weekend signals momentum in a matchup against a New York Knicks team that will likely be shorthanded in the frontcourt.

Vince Williams Jr., SG/SF, Grizzlies (31.0%): Slashing for 17.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 2.6 3-pointers, and strong defensive rates over his past eight games, all starts, Williams is a rewarding plug-and-play move to start the new week of action.

Marvin Bagley III, PF/C (14.7%) and Deni Avdija, SF/PF, Washington Wizards (36.8%)

This tandem could both deliver nice lines against a Spurs defense that allows plenty of rebounds and points to opponents. Bagley's role in the rotation is more fluid and offers real double-double upside, while Avdija has the potential to produce across multiple statistical categories.

Harrison Barnes, SF/PF, Sacramento Kings (29.1%):

Barnes has been splashing shots from all over the floor lately, scoring 91 points across his past three games. Facing a Mavericks team with a generous perimeter defense on Monday night, Barnes is a savvy streaming play given his recent run of big games.

Tim Hardaway Jr., SG/SF, Dallas Mavericks (26.8%)

As the resident floor-spacer for the Mavericks, Hardaway's shot profile appears even richer with Kyrie Irving sidelined for yet another game. The Kings lack defensive stoppers at the wing, setting up this high-volume shooter with a high ceiling. For the Spurs, Jeremy Sochan (26.8%) provides similar versatility for fantasy managers to consider.
