With only four games on Thursday night, there weren’t many breakout performances, but there were a handful of players that have proven their value as streaming options under the right circumstances. With so many injuries around the league, these guys have taken advantage of their opportunities, and you can to by taking a look at these players.
Justise Winslow- 13% rostered in Yahoo! leagues
Winslow has played a large role for Portland this season, but isn’t widely rostered because of his poor field goal percentage. With Damian Lillard sidelined, the Blazers needed to find offense somewhere, though Winslow’s performance may be overshadowed by Jerami Grant and Anfernee Simons. He still finished with 12 points, eight rebounds and six assists during Thursday’s win over New Orleans, but shot 3-for-12. It depends on what categories your fantasy team needs help with, but he can definitely contribute a decent number of assists from the forward position.
Rui Hachimura- 21%
Hachimura’s lack of defensive stats limits his fantasy potential, but he can certainly contribute other numbers across the board. He scored 23 points on 9-for-14 shooting with eight rebounds and two 3-pointers off the bench during their win over Dallas. He’s now put together a few good performances in a row, and he should continue to produce for Washington. Hopefully we’ll see him get his blocks up to one per game.

Tim Hardaway Jr.- 23%
If there’s one thing that THJ is going to do when he gets in the game, it’s shoot the ball. Sometimes it yields results. Other times it doesn’t. Still, if your team needs 3-point shooting, THJ will do his best to help. Hopefully we’ll see more games like this one where he doesn’t tank managers’ field goal percentage. Unfortunately, he’s too streaky to know what you’re going to get from night to night, but when he’s on, he’s on.

Daniel Gafford- 11%
With Kristaps Porzingis out, Gafford was expected to start, but Anthony Gill ended up getting the nod. Still Gafford, ended up playing 25 minutes to Gill’s 15, while contributing 11 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks. His minutes are generally limited with Porzingis healthy, but when KP is out, Gafford is an ideal streaming option to provide rebounds and blocks without missing many shots.
Jordan Goodwin- 23%
Goodwin has benefitted in a major way from Bradley Beal‘s absence, as he’s produced at a fourth-round value over the past three games. He was entirely out of the rotation when Beal was healthy, but he’s played well enough to have earned a role when Beal returns. He finished with two points, seven rebounds, six assists and a steal in 29 minutes off the bench in their win over Dallas. As long as Beal is out, Goodwin is a top tier streaming option, and he should still be solid when Washington is healthy.
