Scottie Pippen Jr. remains a great streaming option, especially in deeper leagues. The third-year guard is averaging 10.5 points, 4.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 threes across 22.4 minutes per game while starting in 16 of his 39 appearances.

Luke Kennard's fantasy stock also gets a boost from the backcourt injuries.
