Pacers vs. Pistons, at Raptors, vs. Wizards, vs. Bulls
The Pacers may be struggling, but the coming week provides a good opportunity for the squad to grab a couple of wins or at least get a few standout performances among the roster. They open the week with a matchup against the Pistons, who are giving up the league's third-most free throws per game. Next, a clash with the Raptors, who are playing very well, especially doing solid work on the defensive end, but they are giving up the league's seventh-most points and seventh-most rebounds per game to opposing power forwards. The Pacers' schedule lightens up with the final two games, beginning with a showdown against the Wizards, who are giving up the league's most points and most rebounds per game, followed by an encounter with the Bulls, who are giving up the league's fourth-most points and fifth-most rebounds per game. Pacers' frontcourt players like Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Jay Huff, and Tony Bradley stand out as ideal streaming targets for the week.
Grizzlies 
vs. Nuggets, at Pelicans, at Clippers, at Kings
The Grizzlies begin the week with their toughest opponent of the lot, as the Nuggets do not have many weaknesses. However, they are giving up the league's third-most steals and second-most free throws per game to opposing small forwards, and they are also now without Aaron Gordon, which provides an improved opportunity for the Grizzlies' forwards to take advantage. Up next, the Grizz clash with the Pelicans, who are giving up the league's seventh-most points and third-most three-pointers per game. Moving on, they encounter the Clippers, who are giving up the league's fourth-most three-pointers per game, making it back-to-back games where the Grizzlies' long-range shooters, including Cedric Coward and Santi Aldama have a good chance to shine. Next, the Grizzlies meet the Kings, who are giving up the league's third-most points and highest field-goal percentage. Also note that the Grizzlies remain significantly shorthanded in the backcourt, which means guys like Vince Williams and Cam Spencer are up for bigger roles.
Bucks 
vs. Trail Blazers, at Heat, at Knicks, vs. Nets
The Bucks could be up for a tough week, as Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to be out until at least Friday, but that also means there is room for others to emerge as impactful streamers. Bobby Portis is likely already rostered in most cases, but Andre Jackson could be up for a productive week after he saw 29 minutes in the last game. The Bucks' first game of the week is against the Trail Blazers, who are giving up the league's sixth-most points and sixth-most free throws per game. They are also without Jrue Holiday, which will likely result in a more favorable matchup at the point-guard position. Moving ahead, the Bucks clash with the Heat, who are giving up the league's eighth-most three-pointers and most offensive rebounds per game. After that, they meet with the Knicks, who are giving up the league's second-most three-pointers per game, followed by a game against the Nets, who are giving up the league's ninth-most points and sixth-most points in the paint per game. The week certainly provides plenty of favorable matchups for long-range shooters such as Gary Trent and Gary Harris to step up with added scoring in the absence of Antetokounmpo.
Knicks 
at Nets, at Hornets, vs. Bucks, vs. Raptors
The Knicks begin their week with a favorable matchup against cross-town rivals, the Nets, who are giving up the league's second-highest field-goal percentage, which should be a great chance for stat padding up and down the roster. Next, they take on the Hornets, who are giving up the league's eighth-most points and fifth-most three-pointers per game, giving Miles McBride a good chance to shine as a streaming target. Moving ahead, the Knicks meet with the Bucks, who are giving up the league's ninth-highest field-goal percentage and fourth-most free throws per game. Finally, they close the week with a game against the Raptors, who have been playing well but are giving up the league's fifth-most free throws per game. The Knicks' recent loss of OG Anunoby to injury opens up more room for guys like Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele to see more action.
Raptors 
vs. Cavs, vs. Pacers, at Hornets, at Knicks
The Raptors have won seven in a row, including a win over the Cavs, who stand as their first opponent of the week, and who are giving up the league's eighth-highest three-point shooting percentage. Next, they clash with the Pacers, who are giving up the league's fifth-most points and fourth-most rebounds per game, which could be a great opportunity for Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvili to make a splash. From there, the Raptors take on the Hornets, who are giving up the league's third-highest field-goal percentage, including allowing opponents to knock down a league-high 41.1 percent from deep. Lastly, they meet with the Knicks, who are giving up the league's fourth-highest three-point shooting percentage, making for back-to-back games where Gradey Dick stands out as a solid streaming target.
