Sunday Fantasy Basketball Week Winning Streaming Jan 11, 2026

Show notes

NBA fantasy managers scramble for streaming solutions as injuries reshape Week 12’s landscape. With 10 games on Sunday and critical back-to-backs for Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Sacramento, and Toronto, lineup planning takes center stage. Which surprise performers and last-minute replacements could tip weekly matchups? Must-roster names like Anthony Black, Peyton Watson, Jabari Smith, and De'Anthony Melton emerge, while the absence of stars including Joel Embiid, Franz Wagner, and Alperen Sengun opens the door for deep waiver pickups such as Sandro Mamukelashvili, Danny Wolf, and Mitch Robinson.

Josh Lloyd gives actionable streaming advice by category—highlighting top options for points, assists, rebounds, steals, and field goal percentage, alongside hot takes on polarizing pickups like Moe Wagner and strategizing for the backcourt chaos in Washington. Position battles, guard vs. big builds, and the unpredictability of NBA rotations keep fantasy players guessing. Which waiver wire gems will decide who tops the standings as Week 12 concludes?

TRAE YOUNG TRADED | Hawks Guard To Wizards For CJ McCollum Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Trae Young’s blockbuster trade to the Washington Wizards sends shockwaves through the NBA, but what does it really mean for fantasy basketball managers? Has Atlanta Hawks’ future taken a turn for the better, or did they just offload elite talent for minimal return?

Josh Lloyd breaks down the immediate impact for the Hawks, who land CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert—raising questions about Atlanta’s roster direction and player usage. Key topics include Jalen Johnson’s rise as the clear number one option, marginal bumps for Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels, and why no player on either side becomes a fantasy must-add. On the Wizards’ side, potential minutes open up for Justin Champagnie, while Kyshawn George and Tre Johnson see their values dip. Is this the most underwhelming fantasy fallout for such a major NBA deal? Get the latest analysis on how this trade alters (or doesn’t) your fantasy basketball strategy.

Show notes
